00:00:03.709 --> 00:00:05.673
Chief mate, what do you want to do tonight?

00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:08.047
The same thing we do every night.

00:00:08.047 --> 00:00:10.266
Pinky, Try to take over the world.

00:00:10.266 --> 00:00:15.268
All right, yo, let's get into it.

00:00:15.268 --> 00:00:16.887
Try to take over the world.

00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:19.039
You're preaching freedom.

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:20.466
Try to take over the world.

00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:25.603
And bring Chaplin in the world.

00:00:25.603 --> 00:00:28.571
Try to take over the world and for this chaplain in the world, Mr Lance O'Neill Trying to take over the world.

00:00:38.301 --> 00:00:39.003
Yo, yo yo.

00:00:39.003 --> 00:00:39.606
What's up?

00:00:39.606 --> 00:00:45.223
It is Sunday night at 830.

00:00:45.223 --> 00:00:46.607
Do you know where your pogs are?

00:00:46.607 --> 00:00:56.905
I don't know where my other pog is because my other pog is on the road somewhere between, uh, the east coast of the west coast and stuck in a hotel room.

00:00:56.905 --> 00:01:02.082
So he's, like you, do the opening, but his sound is messed up so I didn't hear him say it.

00:01:02.082 --> 00:01:04.188
That's why there was that little pause.

00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:16.802
So we have a guest tonight and I know we're going to bring our guest in Charlie Johnson is his name, and we're going to have a good discussion with him and if you hang around, we're going to go about 45 minutes or so.

00:01:16.802 --> 00:01:26.811
And if you want to hang around and find out why KJ has a smooth face and his mom loves him more today because he looks more like his dad You'll have to hang around for later.

00:01:26.811 --> 00:01:31.224
So there's the teaser on that.

00:01:31.224 --> 00:01:40.069
So, kj, before you bring Charlie in, anything you want to your week or anything you want to bring up, I ain't laughing at the intro, man.

00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:41.727
Yo, let's get it going, man.

00:01:41.727 --> 00:01:45.081
All right, let's go All right, let's go All right.

00:01:45.081 --> 00:01:51.474
We got Mr Charlie Johnson, chief conscious officer, over 20 years of business experience, on the show today.

00:01:51.474 --> 00:01:53.924
I know my audio is a little warped, so I will be.

00:01:53.924 --> 00:01:58.134
I'll be taking the tail, I'll be pulling up the rear, and Chappie's going to take the lead.

00:01:58.134 --> 00:02:01.323
I do have a couple of questions, though, so just bear with me.

00:02:01.323 --> 00:02:05.948
But, mr Johnson, go ahead and introduce yourself to our audience, man, and we'll get it rocking.

00:02:07.411 --> 00:02:10.775
Uh, born and raised in Utah, um wasn't Mormon.

00:02:10.775 --> 00:02:12.461
Utah is a very religious state.

00:02:12.461 --> 00:02:16.743
We weren't atheists, we weren't Mormon, we weren't Catholic, we weren't Muslim, we weren't Buddhist.

00:02:16.743 --> 00:02:17.908
We we had nothing.

00:02:17.908 --> 00:02:22.143
Uh, we were not religious, we weren't spiritual, kind of like this white wall behind me.

00:02:22.143 --> 00:02:24.486
We were just this blank slate, very unique.

00:02:24.486 --> 00:02:28.474
Parents for that reason Didn't do well around kids.

00:02:28.534 --> 00:02:32.966
My age Got into business very early on, when I was offered a job at 16 or 17.

00:02:32.966 --> 00:02:38.289
As soon as I got around adults I started to thrive, really enjoyed the business, loved being around executives.

00:02:38.289 --> 00:02:39.417
Loved being around the business.

00:02:39.417 --> 00:02:41.628
Loved being like the dumbest person in the room.

00:02:41.628 --> 00:02:42.675
I loved asking questions, absorbing everything.

00:02:42.675 --> 00:02:46.448
Like the dumbest person in the room, I loved asking questions, absorbing everything, did okay with that business.

00:02:46.448 --> 00:02:49.570
Flew 2 million miles during.

00:02:49.570 --> 00:02:51.525
Actually, hold on a sec, how much do you want to know in this?

00:02:51.525 --> 00:02:54.087
Do we want to keep going with the podcast?

00:02:54.087 --> 00:02:55.526
You want me to dump the whole stuff at the front?

00:02:55.526 --> 00:02:58.721
Sure, just keep going, we'll have a question, all right.

00:02:58.721 --> 00:03:02.829
So flew 2 million miles with that business.

00:03:02.829 --> 00:03:08.122
Grew that with a partner of mine after the CEO had passed away very unexpectedly.

00:03:08.141 --> 00:03:14.068
After the 2 million miles flying I developed a fear of flying and it had nothing to do with the plane.

00:03:14.068 --> 00:03:18.132
The universe stepped in and said we need you out of this business.

00:03:18.132 --> 00:03:19.473
It was very comfortable.

00:03:19.473 --> 00:03:21.955
There was a lot of money, there was a lot 216 employees.

00:03:21.955 --> 00:03:23.097
We only lost one employee.

00:03:23.097 --> 00:03:24.520
She was pregnant.

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:25.884
She didn't need to come back to work because of her husband.

00:03:25.884 --> 00:03:32.973
Great culture, great business it was everything I'd ever wanted as a kid and I had to leave.

00:03:32.973 --> 00:03:34.758
It forced me to.

00:03:34.758 --> 00:03:37.421
It got to the point where I was the face, the name, the sales, the marketing.

00:03:37.421 --> 00:03:38.243
So I was out front.

00:03:38.243 --> 00:03:42.649
The fact that I couldn't get on a plane, it just got to the point I was so miserable that I left the business.

00:03:42.649 --> 00:03:45.092
A month later I was in Europe.

00:03:45.092 --> 00:03:47.555
So it had nothing to do with the fear of flying.

00:03:47.555 --> 00:03:51.288
There was something, just something in the universe that needed me to add to that business.

00:03:52.039 --> 00:04:00.786
During that time, with the for-profit industry, I thought if I'm going to develop this fear of flying and it's going to push me out, then I need to go the polar opposite and jump onto the nonprofit.

00:04:00.786 --> 00:04:10.503
So I took over the Pay it Forward Foundation, the famous one with the book and the movie, traveled the world again on a lot of planes, 130 countries, tens of millions of people involved.

00:04:10.503 --> 00:04:11.006
That was fun.

00:04:11.006 --> 00:04:14.722
That was my egoic way of trying to save the world through random acts of kindness.

00:04:14.722 --> 00:04:22.062
During that time, though, the reason I told you about Utah and having a very neutral background is for this reason.

00:04:22.824 --> 00:04:28.333
During that time, with Pay it Forward, I was doing what most people do in their early thirties self-development.

00:04:28.333 --> 00:04:29.920
I was looking for coaches.

00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.149
Every single one I'd crossed paths with said they couldn't help me.

00:04:33.149 --> 00:04:39.961
So I was seeing all my friends, all these business associates everyone was getting helped, and these individuals were looking at me saying I can't help you.

00:04:39.961 --> 00:04:42.244
I have no clue how to answer your questions.

00:04:42.244 --> 00:04:49.951
Luckily, one of them was ego uh, egoic, had had less of an ego and said I can't help you, but I think what you need is a teacher.

00:04:49.951 --> 00:04:54.576
So, in my mind, cause I had no religious or spiritual background, I I asked.

00:04:54.576 --> 00:04:58.982
I said do you want me to go back to college?

00:04:58.982 --> 00:04:59.523
What are you talking about?

00:04:59.523 --> 00:04:59.742
A teacher?

00:04:59.742 --> 00:05:00.464
She said a spiritual teacher.

00:05:00.464 --> 00:05:01.266
I said okay, do you know one?

00:05:01.266 --> 00:05:02.709
She said I have no clue.

00:05:02.709 --> 00:05:06.040
Good luck, okay, great, perfect.

00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:07.923
Again, the universe stepped in.

00:05:07.923 --> 00:05:11.966
I was in the sauna at the local gym sitting down.

00:05:12.687 --> 00:05:13.728
An 85-year-old man.

00:05:13.728 --> 00:05:15.971
I had clothes on, as I do in this podcast.

00:05:15.971 --> 00:05:18.954
He was ass naked, as 85-year-old men do.

00:05:18.954 --> 00:05:24.821
I was sitting, he was standing, so just take a guess where my eye level was at.

00:05:24.821 --> 00:05:28.903
He walked right up to me and said I feel like I've known you from a past life.

00:05:28.903 --> 00:05:33.725
I said first of all, get your what out of my face.

00:05:33.725 --> 00:05:35.766
Second of all, what do you mean by a past life?

00:05:35.766 --> 00:05:38.968
That was the thing that broke the dam.

00:05:38.968 --> 00:05:43.170
I had no clue what the hell that meant, but that triggered something in me.

00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:44.250
He taught me about books.

00:05:44.250 --> 00:05:45.370
He taught me about meditation.

00:05:45.370 --> 00:05:48.872
He taught me about everything he wanted to teach me, because he was a typical Utah.

00:05:48.872 --> 00:05:52.574
He could not talk to anyone in his family about this shit.

00:05:52.574 --> 00:05:53.295
No one.

00:05:53.295 --> 00:05:56.177
Everyone would have just ostracized him, kicked him out of the church.

00:05:56.177 --> 00:05:58.637
He loved being around me and I loved being around him.

00:05:58.637 --> 00:06:04.413
He sent me to his meditation teacher learned for about four weeks.

00:06:04.434 --> 00:06:05.440
After that I knew there was more.

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:09.940
I don't know why I was asking that question, but I knew there was more and I said uh, there's got to.

00:06:09.940 --> 00:06:10.581
What else can I do?

00:06:10.581 --> 00:06:16.622
He said well, there's this individual that I haven't sent someone to in about a decade and you don't mess with this guy.

00:06:16.622 --> 00:06:18.404
Most people don't want to meet with this guy.

00:06:18.404 --> 00:06:18.846
He's just.

00:06:18.846 --> 00:06:20.088
He's just a unique guy.

00:06:20.088 --> 00:06:21.649
I said I'll talk to him.

00:06:21.649 --> 00:06:24.093
He's like well, you can't waste his time.

00:06:24.093 --> 00:06:26.096
I was like, do you think I'm going to waste his time?

00:06:26.096 --> 00:06:28.225
Like holy shit man, just put me in front of him.

00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:37.326
I had a picture of Steve Jobs on my phone, because this was around 2013, when he was a big deal and the Walter Isaacson book and everyone was talking about him in the movies and everything.

00:06:37.326 --> 00:06:42.490
When I crossed paths with this individual and I walked up to his house for the first time, he opened the door.

00:06:42.490 --> 00:06:43.170
He looked just like him.

00:06:43.170 --> 00:06:44.771
So again, the universe.

00:06:44.771 --> 00:06:46.833
It had nothing to do with Steve Jobs.

00:06:46.833 --> 00:06:50.696
He had the same glasses, the same buzz head, the same light beard, the same face, everything.

00:06:50.696 --> 00:06:57.141
So I looked at him again no frame of reference, spirituality or religion.

00:06:57.141 --> 00:06:57.543
I said I don't know.

00:06:57.543 --> 00:07:00.769
I don't know why I'm saying this, but whatever you tell me to do, I'm going to do the next many years.

00:07:01.630 --> 00:07:02.552
I sat by his side.

00:07:02.552 --> 00:07:05.218
I read everything he told me to read.

00:07:05.218 --> 00:07:07.041
I meditated, I did everything he told me to do.

00:07:08.185 --> 00:07:14.973
He was a teacher in a different sense and this is why the chief consciousness officer and all this stuff that we're going to talk about later came about.

00:07:14.973 --> 00:07:17.244
He was the teacher that stripped it all away.

00:07:17.244 --> 00:07:22.562
He had me read knowledge not to fill my already overwhelmed mind like everyone else is on the planet.

00:07:22.562 --> 00:07:24.107
He had me want.

00:07:24.107 --> 00:07:39.451
He wanted me to get to the point where I finally understood that every single God, every religion, every political side, every conflict, every division, everything that causes a conflict and vision on this planet, anything that says I'm right, you're wrong, all of that shit, it's all coming from the same source.

00:07:41.300 --> 00:07:41.762
I asked him.

00:07:41.762 --> 00:07:48.148
I asked him for truth, not a relative truth, not, not, not, not my, not my Catholic truth, not my Republican truth, not this truth.

00:07:48.148 --> 00:07:49.211
I want a truth.

00:07:49.211 --> 00:07:51.064
I wanted, I wanted to understand where it came from.

00:07:51.064 --> 00:07:54.322
Kind of like the question of what's better, heads or tails of the coin.

00:07:54.322 --> 00:07:58.000
Most intelligent people would say, well, it's the same, no shit.

00:07:58.541 --> 00:08:00.064
So where did the coin come from?

00:08:00.064 --> 00:08:05.293
Because we are continuously, as human beings, choosing sides and that never made sense to me.

00:08:05.293 --> 00:08:11.961
So this, this is where the neutrality comes, this is where the um not not choosing sides comes from.

00:08:11.961 --> 00:08:16.041
This is where I get a lot of individuals who don't know if I'm for them or against them.

00:08:16.041 --> 00:08:20.151
So they just kind of turn or walk away because they can't understand in their mind.

00:08:20.151 --> 00:08:21.322
Neutrality.

00:08:21.322 --> 00:08:23.247
It just like scares the shit out of them.

00:08:23.247 --> 00:08:26.252
So he is a very powerful individual.

00:08:26.252 --> 00:08:32.011
He stripped it all away, uh, just for the hell of it, just to tell he can levitate.

00:08:32.011 --> 00:08:34.083
He can see everything that's going on in you.

00:08:34.083 --> 00:08:35.005
He knows all your thoughts.

00:08:35.005 --> 00:08:39.333
He can tell anyone where they need to go into the hospital, fix any type of can't any of that anything.

00:08:39.333 --> 00:08:50.421
He just scares the shit out of people and as this planet continues on this path, that mythical, magical shit that I just said is going to be very normal.

00:08:50.421 --> 00:08:52.809
So how about that for an intro?

00:08:54.041 --> 00:08:55.888
That is one hell of an intro.

00:08:55.888 --> 00:08:58.125
I have so many questions.

00:08:58.606 --> 00:08:59.429
Good, that's the reason.

00:09:00.822 --> 00:09:02.047
Let me start with the silly ones.

00:09:02.047 --> 00:09:04.066
Yeah, let me start with the silly ones.

00:09:04.066 --> 00:09:05.965
What part of Utah are you from?

00:09:06.868 --> 00:09:07.309
Salt Lake City.

00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:09.183
What high school did you go?

00:09:09.203 --> 00:09:12.525
to oh God, Cottonwood, you from Utah too.

00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:14.143
I went to Skyline.

00:09:15.184 --> 00:09:15.666
At what year?

00:09:16.427 --> 00:09:16.950
91.

00:09:17.932 --> 00:09:19.563
Okay, I graduated in 98.

00:09:20.908 --> 00:09:23.788
Okay, so did you play baseball.

00:09:24.801 --> 00:09:25.022
I did.

00:09:25.022 --> 00:09:30.567
I probably umpired one of your games then oh, you were that son of a bitch that called me.

00:09:30.688 --> 00:09:32.274
Okay, I got it oh yeah, that was me.

00:09:32.274 --> 00:09:33.761
I don't remember, do you?

00:09:33.761 --> 00:09:49.749
Were you there the year the uh cottonwood coach uh, either got fired or took all the money from the fundraising and took all the uh, yeah, there, yeah, there was a year, they, they, the guy who was fundraising, he took all the all the funds and took off.

00:09:49.749 --> 00:09:56.952
He was the head coach, got fired, he took all of the banners and everything down and, oh my God, no, I did not remember that.

00:09:56.952 --> 00:09:57.721
That was not my year?

00:09:58.323 --> 00:10:00.129
That was not my year, it wasn't my coach.

00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:04.083
That's the Cottonwood story I remember.

00:10:04.083 --> 00:10:07.090
So, um, you know.

00:10:07.090 --> 00:10:19.432
So I am LDS and I'm an army chaplain, and so it's interesting to hear you say that because for me, I'm one of those guys, as an army chaplain, who's more than happy to help anybody find whatever religion, faith, spirituality.

00:10:19.432 --> 00:10:31.428
I don't do the judgmental thing because as much as an army chap of my job is to say how can I help you get where I get that vibe?

00:10:31.428 --> 00:10:36.590
And I've seen the judgmental on both sides of being LDS outside of Utah towards me.

00:10:37.152 --> 00:10:51.888
And I've seen judgmental in Salt Lake, going like my my uh late brother-in-law, he grew up non-LDS and he would have LDS families say, hey, you can't play with Frank because he's not LDS, and that just blew my mind because it's like crazy, huh.

00:10:51.888 --> 00:10:53.225
We're supposed to be accepting.

00:10:53.225 --> 00:11:04.884
So yeah, so it's really interesting to hear your background and I have a very clear idea of the neighborhood and area you grew up in, so I can see how that would be a challenge.

00:11:04.884 --> 00:11:05.904
It would be very forming.

00:11:06.647 --> 00:11:07.207
That's awesome.

00:11:07.207 --> 00:11:12.159
That is very cool man Interesting Such a small world.

00:11:14.164 --> 00:11:14.525
Yeah To it.

00:11:14.525 --> 00:11:25.461
So, all right, you spoke about neutrality and that's kind of one of those things where it's that I guess it's that star that everybody tries to reach right.

00:11:25.461 --> 00:11:28.943
You hear it all the time in media and politics and everything.

00:11:28.943 --> 00:11:31.184
Everyone wants to be neutral.

00:11:31.184 --> 00:11:35.168
How were you able to achieve this, or how is it even possible?

00:11:35.168 --> 00:11:38.789
Like everything in the world that we know about is based off of bias.

00:11:38.789 --> 00:11:40.071
So how difficult was that process?

00:11:40.071 --> 00:11:41.932
How difficult was that process?

00:11:43.153 --> 00:11:49.716
Well, so, uh, lebron James knew he was going to be really good at basketball, right?

00:11:49.716 --> 00:11:58.261
Leo Messi, um, we have certain things.

00:11:58.261 --> 00:11:58.725
There's mathematicians.

00:11:58.725 --> 00:12:03.384
Mathematicians love math, scientists love science, basketball players love basketball right, they, everyone's got this certain unique talent that's kind of comes easy to them.

00:12:04.126 --> 00:12:13.886
Mine took about 30 years to 30, 35 years to understand, but because of my background, because of my parents, like they're, I've never heard of a story like that.

00:12:13.886 --> 00:12:16.629
We, we didn't go to church, we weren't for it, we weren't against it.

00:12:16.629 --> 00:12:20.346
It's just something we did not talk about, like the Mormon thing that we're talking about.

00:12:20.346 --> 00:12:22.303
It didn't even, it didn't even translate to me.

00:12:22.303 --> 00:12:25.390
It didn't matter if we were, we weren't right, it really didn't matter.

00:12:25.390 --> 00:12:47.979
Um, to cross paths with an individual, like I did with my teacher, to have him have him, uh, strip away all of that bias and the conditioning, which was very minimal in the first place, because of how I was raised, because of my incarnation with this life, because of how I was raised, because of my incarnation with this life, it is very difficult.

00:12:47.979 --> 00:12:57.166
But the other thing that really helps with that is when you're starting to learn from a teacher like that, you start to understand consciousness, everything's consciousness, everything physical and non-physical is consciousness.

00:12:57.166 --> 00:12:59.802
It is fundamental to our reality, to our experience.

00:12:59.802 --> 00:13:08.942
Understanding that, and that's a big thing with this position, that's why we're doing so many podcasts, that's why we want to bring it into business understanding consciousness, but also understanding the mind.

00:13:09.903 --> 00:13:12.149
The mind is, like you said, bias.

00:13:12.149 --> 00:13:14.394
The mind is a divided tool.

00:13:14.394 --> 00:13:21.072
The mind only knows this or that, right or wrong, catholic or atheist, republican or Democrat.

00:13:21.072 --> 00:13:22.683
It only knows sides.

00:13:22.683 --> 00:13:25.400
It will never be a hundred percent sure about anything.

00:13:25.400 --> 00:13:26.202
We can talk about it.

00:13:26.202 --> 00:13:29.211
We can talk about when our bones we just feel a hundred percent.

00:13:29.211 --> 00:13:33.216
This is the way, but the person you think is crazy also fills it in their bones.

00:13:33.216 --> 00:13:34.923
This is a hundred percent the way right.

00:13:34.923 --> 00:13:37.470
We can go into the semantics of neutrality.

00:13:37.470 --> 00:13:43.710
We can go into the semantics of of all of these discussions that so many podcasts have and many people argue about.

00:13:44.951 --> 00:13:51.600
My question always to this is, though and I like to go a little bit deeper We've been doing this since the beginning of humanity.

00:13:51.600 --> 00:14:03.361
We truly believe, at some point one side's going to win, the other side's going to be okay with it, and we're all just going to go off into a utopic future and and we're just going to move on.

00:14:03.361 --> 00:14:05.434
Never, it's never happened.

00:14:05.434 --> 00:14:06.761
It's never happened.

00:14:06.761 --> 00:14:12.245
Einstein, the whole Einstein cult, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, as a definition of insanity.

00:14:12.245 --> 00:14:15.172
Yet we continue to do it time and time again.

00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.687
Now to the code here the best chaplain in the world.

00:14:18.687 --> 00:14:22.022
There are some unique individuals that are nonjudgmental.

00:14:22.022 --> 00:14:27.652
There are some unique individuals that don't care if you're Mormon or Catholic or atheist or Republican or Democrat or anything right.

00:14:27.652 --> 00:14:28.900
But just look at the world.

00:14:28.900 --> 00:14:38.662
The vast majority, the division of conflict that's created on this planet is because of that, because my God's better than your God, because Republican and Democrat, I'm Trump, I'm Biden and all this stuff.

00:14:38.662 --> 00:14:39.964
Again, it's.

00:14:39.964 --> 00:14:41.386
It's just the way it is.

00:14:41.386 --> 00:14:43.509
But I want to start to bring awareness to this.

00:14:43.509 --> 00:14:51.288
I want to start to bring awareness to how the mind works and I want to start to bring awareness to, if we do expand our awareness, how we can minimize the division and conflict.

00:14:51.288 --> 00:14:52.532
So the neutrality.

00:14:52.952 --> 00:15:02.366
There are a small group of individuals there in the middle, but no one pays attention to them, because the first thing everyone wants to know is are you for me, are you against me?

00:15:02.366 --> 00:15:11.125
Do you believe what I believe, or are we going to argue Right when someone's neutral, I'm telling you I can't.

00:15:11.125 --> 00:15:13.317
I can't begin to tell you how many times someone asked me who I'm for and I'm like, no, I'm not for them.

00:15:13.317 --> 00:15:13.698
Oh, you're a Biden?

00:15:13.698 --> 00:15:14.522
Yeah, no, no, I'm a Trump.

00:15:14.522 --> 00:15:16.307
Oh, you're like my son, you're anarchist?

00:15:16.307 --> 00:15:17.431
No, I'm not that either.

00:15:17.431 --> 00:15:25.780
And they will just turn and walk away.

00:15:25.780 --> 00:15:26.402
We don't understand neutrality.

00:15:26.402 --> 00:15:29.885
We don't know how to deal with it, but there are people out there that are, that are unbiased and unconditioned.

00:15:30.807 --> 00:15:31.467
Well, and the way?

00:15:31.467 --> 00:15:35.913
The way the current argument is is hey, do you like bananas?

00:15:35.913 --> 00:15:37.696
Well, yeah, I love bananas.

00:15:37.696 --> 00:15:39.667
Well, what have you got against apples?

00:15:39.667 --> 00:15:47.942
I didn't say anything about apples.

00:15:47.942 --> 00:15:50.587
I like apples too, oh, but oranges are the best, oh, wait, ok.

00:15:50.587 --> 00:15:59.491
So to me, as a chaplain, as a person, I'm always trying to look for the win-wins, and I think that's where the neutrality becomes is that we can come to a solution.

00:15:59.491 --> 00:16:01.604
And KJ and I are very political.

00:16:01.604 --> 00:16:02.885
That's what we do on this.

00:16:02.885 --> 00:16:17.731
That's why we both kind of you know, we kind of raised our eyebrows, but at the same time, kj and I are in a position where he leads a little bit left I am a pretty strong conservative but at the same time, there's no judgment going on.

00:16:17.731 --> 00:16:45.539
We both just want what is best overall and if we can find that neutral where everybody's happy no-transcript.

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:56.847
So the main point of Chief Conscious Officer, whether it's a political podcast or a business podcast, trying to bring out the burnout, the retention, the division and conflict within the organization.

00:16:56.847 --> 00:16:58.105
So it doesn't matter which one.

00:16:58.105 --> 00:17:04.433
When we're having these discussions like this, every time I hear it, just like you said, someone will say I'm on the left.

00:17:04.433 --> 00:17:06.362
Every time I hear it, just like you said, someone will say I'm on the left.

00:17:06.362 --> 00:17:08.910
I'm on the left, I'm on the right, I'm Catholic, I'm atheist, whatever it is.

00:17:08.910 --> 00:17:21.265
Every time someone talks to me they say I want to leave the world better for my kids, I want to leave this planet better, I, I?

00:17:21.265 --> 00:17:22.848
Uh, to each their own right.

00:17:22.848 --> 00:17:25.902
We're all talking in a very nice way right now, in a podcast, right?

00:17:25.902 --> 00:17:28.488
We always say that we love our kids.

00:17:28.488 --> 00:17:32.684
We don't care what the other side thinks, and that's perfectly fine.

00:17:32.684 --> 00:17:39.142
The atheist says that, the Catholic says that, the Republican says that, the Democrat says that.

00:17:42.127 --> 00:17:45.634
My question is why is the world so divided and conflicted then?

00:17:45.634 --> 00:17:58.932
Because because, like, like the men in black, remember, when they're sitting on the park bench and and Will Smith's talking to Tommy Lee Jones, he's like, as individuals, we're fine, as a group, we're a disaster Right.

00:17:58.932 --> 00:18:09.709
So when we're just in, when we're individuals with the podcast and we're and we're putting our best foot forward and maybe we're just on a first date, right, we're always going to oh, you're going to be a damn prince.

00:18:09.709 --> 00:18:14.089
As time goes on, we kind of let the world see who we are.

00:18:14.089 --> 00:18:25.607
But I always hear that, I hear the good stories, I hear how kind people are, and I know everyone's not lying to me, I know they're not lying to me, but we again have been doing this since the beginning of humanity.

00:18:26.650 --> 00:18:29.273
The world's never been so divided and conflicted, right?

00:18:29.273 --> 00:18:34.285
We've got 10,000 books on happiness.

00:18:34.285 --> 00:18:38.741
We've never been so unhappy, we've never spent more money on obesity, we've never been so fat, we've never spent more money on burnout retention rate, all this business shit.

00:18:38.741 --> 00:18:43.911
Conscious capitalism, conscious leadership, conscious management, and we've never been so divided and conflicted within the organization.

00:18:43.911 --> 00:18:45.993
So what am I missing?

00:18:45.993 --> 00:18:58.509
We got 20 years of wellness programs where we're stuffing meditation and Tai Chi and yoga down the company's gullet, and yet the company's got more burnout rate, the company's more divided, conflicted than ever between executives and employees.

00:18:59.380 --> 00:19:04.442
Something's missing, because we're continuously talking about the heads and tails of the coin and the head says I love my family.

00:19:04.442 --> 00:19:06.324
I don't care what tails does, just let them be.

00:19:06.324 --> 00:19:12.771
Tails says the same thing, just like you just said a second ago, and I agree with you and I know you're not lying.

00:19:12.771 --> 00:19:19.462
I know you're a kind person, I know KJ is a kind person, but why is there still so much division and conflict?

00:19:19.462 --> 00:19:24.494
Why is there so much that happens outside of that comment which everyone says?

00:19:24.494 --> 00:19:27.403
Why is there still so much division of conflict?

00:19:27.403 --> 00:19:30.652
We've got to get to a deeper understanding of consciousness.

00:19:32.181 --> 00:19:35.809
So let me ask you a question here, and hopefully I switched my headphone audio.

00:19:35.809 --> 00:19:36.531
Is that better?

00:19:36.531 --> 00:19:39.320
Okay?

00:19:39.320 --> 00:20:03.871
So I think we've always had the conflict and one of the questions I would have is has it gotten worse because of, right now, what we're doing and not this podcast, but the social media, the access to instant information, the loss of critical thinking, the lack of wisdom?

00:20:04.271 --> 00:20:11.057
To me and this is the difference as far as how I've kind of always defined it is intelligence is the ability to learn something.

00:20:11.057 --> 00:20:15.449
Everybody has intelligence, it doesn't matter really who they are.

00:20:15.449 --> 00:20:20.852
But wisdom is when you're able to say, hey, I just learned something new.

00:20:20.852 --> 00:20:25.530
And instead of saying I know it like a book, now I know this.

00:20:25.530 --> 00:20:31.605
Actually, what you've done is you've opened the door to the new library and walk in and go everything behind this book.

00:20:31.605 --> 00:20:36.303
Wow, look at everything I didn't know and that wisdom has just evaporated.

00:20:36.303 --> 00:20:40.902
People are going no, no, I know the book and I can fact check instantly and you're wrong and I'm right.

00:20:40.902 --> 00:20:43.949
And I wonder how much that has to contribute.

00:20:43.949 --> 00:20:55.784
With all the positives that have come with the technological advances and the access to information, our wisdom has has, I don't want to say bottomed out, but it's definitely taken a hit.

00:20:57.468 --> 00:20:58.029
Completely agree.

00:20:58.029 --> 00:21:01.327
We, we, we.

00:21:01.327 --> 00:21:17.188
I hope that we, at some point in the very near future, are incredibly embarrassed with the last 15 to 20 years of how we treated social media Letting the world know stuff we have that most of the world doesn't, Taking pictures of our food, selfies, shit like that.

00:21:17.188 --> 00:21:19.692
It's embarrassing and most adults will do it.

00:21:19.692 --> 00:21:22.299
I just yeah.

00:21:26.465 --> 00:21:38.892
Well, I can't to how many people in this country specifically that have never gone outside of this country and they talk about the poor in this country and you say do you realize that the poor in this country are still the 1% of the world?

00:21:38.892 --> 00:21:45.874
Like people that are truly poor would murder to get here and be poor in America.

00:21:45.874 --> 00:21:49.691
So let's be realistic about what poor actually means.

00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:51.441
Yep.

00:21:51.461 --> 00:21:52.344
Agreed.

00:21:52.344 --> 00:21:54.411
Let me ask this question.

00:21:54.411 --> 00:22:01.733
So do you think consciousness can evolve without conflict, or is disruption kind of like a necessary part of expanding awareness?

00:22:01.733 --> 00:22:04.146
Where do you see yourself in that realm?

00:22:05.901 --> 00:22:06.362
It could be both.

00:22:06.362 --> 00:22:07.183
It's both.

00:22:07.183 --> 00:22:14.520
We live in a dualistic world, we live in a divided time, we live with a tool that's divided, so all of these questions are going to be at the level of the mind.

00:22:14.520 --> 00:22:17.390
Everything we discuss is at the level of the mind, so it's always going to be both.

00:22:17.390 --> 00:22:24.130
And a great teacher once said the spiritual or human maturity of an individual is their okayness with contradiction.

00:22:24.130 --> 00:22:27.255
So the point being here is consciousness.

00:22:27.255 --> 00:22:31.410
Let's what is consciousness for your listeners?

00:22:31.410 --> 00:22:35.590
Let's, let's get to that, because the big thing we're doing is we're bringing into politics, we're bringing into business.

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:38.009
The first question everyone has is what is consciousness?

00:22:38.009 --> 00:22:44.566
The best metaphor is this wise fish swimming through the ocean swims by two young fish and says hey, boys, how's the water?

00:22:44.566 --> 00:22:50.061
The two young fish look at each other and say what's water?

00:22:50.061 --> 00:22:50.542
That's consciousness.

00:22:50.542 --> 00:22:53.186
Us three doing this podcast live right now, we're swimming in it.

00:22:53.186 --> 00:23:01.696
Your listeners are swimming in it, the planet's swimming in it, the earth swimming in it, the universe is swimming at the galaxies, the stars, the animals, the plants, everything physical and non-physical.

00:23:01.696 --> 00:23:07.487
That is the material, that's the word, that's the construct we've given, everything physical and non-physical in this world.

00:23:07.487 --> 00:23:10.007
Okay, so to take it one step further.

00:23:11.280 --> 00:23:16.665
People mistakenly believe consciousness is conscious totally, totally different things.

00:23:16.665 --> 00:23:22.082
Consciousness is a noun physical, everything right, everything physical, non-physical.

00:23:22.082 --> 00:23:24.449
Conscious is a verb conscious.

00:23:24.449 --> 00:23:25.692
All three of us are conscious.

00:23:25.692 --> 00:23:27.103
Touch, taste, feel.

00:23:27.103 --> 00:23:29.048
We were given those abilities.

00:23:29.048 --> 00:23:31.093
We had nothing to do with that.

00:23:31.093 --> 00:23:34.008
But we can see, we can smell, we can taste, we can touch.

00:23:34.008 --> 00:23:34.711
We can do all of that.

00:23:34.711 --> 00:23:37.501
If I get knocked in the head, I'm unconscious.

00:23:37.501 --> 00:23:43.865
I'm conscious because I'm aware Awareness is a totally different subject here, but I don't want to get into all the minutia of that.

00:23:43.865 --> 00:23:46.907
Consciousness is everything, physical and non-physical.

00:23:46.907 --> 00:23:47.607
It's pure.

00:23:47.607 --> 00:23:55.354
It birthed everything that we know in this realm, physical and non-physical.

00:23:55.354 --> 00:23:56.413
Nonphysical, okay.

00:23:56.555 --> 00:24:09.101
We, with the tool we've been given that only knows either or right or wrong, catholic or atheist.

00:24:09.101 --> 00:24:25.760
Against me, for me, bias, conditioning how we were raised, what we were taught, what our parents told us, what our teachers told us, that was divided because of the tool inside our head, because you take, as the best chaplain in the world would put it, you take someone from Utah born to a super Mormon family, but on day one they're adopted by a Japanese family.

00:24:25.760 --> 00:24:28.468
That kid's Buddhist and he speaks fluent Japanese.

00:24:28.468 --> 00:24:34.248
You take someone from the Middle East born to a Muslim family day, one adopted by someone in Texas.

00:24:34.248 --> 00:24:35.612
They'd be perfect.

00:24:35.612 --> 00:24:40.031
They'd have the yeehaw drawl and they would be speaking perfect English and they'd be Baptist.

00:24:41.520 --> 00:24:43.925
Those are the kind of metaphors and examples I like to talk about.

00:24:43.925 --> 00:24:50.651
Rather than the semantics of what's right or wrong, let's just the simple stuff of how conditioned and biased we are.

00:24:50.651 --> 00:24:58.032
That conditioned and biased you asked about 10 minutes ago is simply because of how we were raised and what we were raised around, what we were taught and who taught us.

00:24:58.032 --> 00:25:03.467
That, to me, is the heads and tails of the coin, and that's the only thing we pay attention to.

00:25:03.467 --> 00:25:05.884
My question always is where did the coin come from?

00:25:05.884 --> 00:25:11.039
Consciousness, once more people start to understand consciousness, that they are consciousness.

00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:16.305
They have access to consciousness more than just their mind and they can tap into it.

00:25:16.305 --> 00:25:17.707
It changes everything.

00:25:17.707 --> 00:25:20.450
It expands their awareness from here to here.

00:25:22.070 --> 00:25:26.996
Do you believe like institutions, like religion, government and capitalism are capable of becoming conscious?

00:25:32.380 --> 00:25:34.864
Or you think they just we have to do a complete reawakening to get to that level.

00:25:34.864 --> 00:25:44.655
No, no, no, no, we know we can take it to a different level to complete you know the individuals that are have left capitalism and and and the government.

00:25:44.655 --> 00:25:46.576
They hate the government and they hate Jesus because Catholic.

00:25:46.576 --> 00:25:47.698
Let them down, now they're atheists.

00:25:47.698 --> 00:25:51.424
All all those individuals that just think they need to just bring everything crashing down.

00:25:51.424 --> 00:25:56.442
That's the heads to the tails of the coin, all the religious people.

00:25:56.442 --> 00:25:59.426
And then they go become spiritual and they think spirituality is better.

00:25:59.426 --> 00:26:00.808
That's the heads of the tails of the coin.

00:26:02.632 --> 00:26:07.607
The conversation, or the topic that's never in conversations, is levels of consciousness.

00:26:07.607 --> 00:26:10.195
Think about it like a grade right.

00:26:10.195 --> 00:26:14.868
The vast majority of this planet's level of consciousness is around third, fourth grade.

00:26:14.868 --> 00:26:22.147
Now, I don't say that insultingly, because what you said earlier the best chaplain in the world it's not about intelligence.

00:26:22.147 --> 00:26:30.105
You can have two 170 iq harvard grad individuals completely at each other's throat because one's republican, one's democrat.

00:26:30.105 --> 00:26:31.611
That's a lack of clarity.

00:26:31.611 --> 00:26:37.060
That's an elementary level of clarity, just all of that division of conflict because they're not seeing things clearly.

00:26:38.685 --> 00:26:46.353
What we can do is we can bring the awareness of what consciousness is, kind of like the four minute mile, completely impossible.

00:26:46.353 --> 00:26:47.102
The guy ran it.

00:26:47.102 --> 00:26:51.641
Now thousands of people can do it Once we plant the seed of consciousness in the individual.

00:26:51.641 --> 00:27:00.371
Within politics that want to be bipartisan and neutral, or business, where the spread between executives and employees are just spreading right.

00:27:00.371 --> 00:27:01.806
Just bring consciousness to them.

00:27:01.806 --> 00:27:11.413
It removes division and conflict, it bridges the gap, it gives everyone access at second grade, third grade, junior, high, high school, college, phd level.

00:27:11.413 --> 00:27:14.630
It allows them to go from third grade to fourth or fifth grade.

00:27:14.630 --> 00:27:21.701
And my question to that comment is if I'm a ceo, do I want third graders as my employees, or fifth graders?

00:27:21.701 --> 00:27:29.832
They're always going to say fifth, a little bit older, a little bit smarter, a little bit better with life, a little bit more self-sustaining in government, do you want someone in third or fifth?

00:27:29.832 --> 00:27:35.962
Right, we can raise everyone's level of consciousness a little bit within this, within this realm, within these.

00:27:35.962 --> 00:27:37.986
This time we've gotten this body.

00:27:37.986 --> 00:27:44.174
That shift is a massive, massive shift, planetarily Massive.

00:27:46.721 --> 00:27:52.073
So my question is this, and I think it's an interesting.

00:27:54.105 --> 00:28:20.284
I think it's an interesting question because I'm going to ask it the nature versus nurture question because one of the things so for for one of my one in school I had to take multiculturalism and one of the things they said was you know, you're a white male and so if you're counseling with a black female from the South, you're going to have to look at her and you're going to have to talk to her differently because of how she was raised.

00:28:21.026 --> 00:28:30.343
And I looked at that and I said that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, because that's assuming all black women from the South are monolithic in the same thing.

00:28:30.343 --> 00:28:56.296
And so my argument was my older brother and I were both raised basically in the same house, definitely with the same parents, in the same schools, a lot of the same teachers, some of the same friends, and yet he is a far left expat living in Germany who thinks Trump is the you know Antichrist and crystals protect his kids.

00:28:56.296 --> 00:29:00.190
And I'm a militaristic chaplain, conservative LDS.

00:29:00.190 --> 00:29:07.971
And so I think our nurture, in my opinion, was a lot.

00:29:07.971 --> 00:29:10.634
My brother will say it was very different, but I don't agree with that.

00:29:10.634 --> 00:29:25.986
I think the nurture was pretty close and the ability to change comes from our worldview and what is cemented and what is not cemented by that worldview.

00:29:27.580 --> 00:29:29.865
So the nature versus nurture is like the heads and tails of the coin.

00:29:29.865 --> 00:29:34.365
Someone like you would say what you said, and it was just nature.

00:29:34.365 --> 00:29:35.769
Right, you've got those two.

00:29:35.769 --> 00:29:37.705
That's just how you and your brother were built.

00:29:37.705 --> 00:29:38.788
I would agree with that.

00:29:38.788 --> 00:29:44.082
And then you've got someone who comes up in an abusive household right, and there would be a lot of nurture in that.

00:29:44.082 --> 00:29:45.445
It would scar the kid.

00:29:45.445 --> 00:29:51.650
Maybe the mom was was terrible to the daughter, maybe the son was, or the father was terrible to the son, that little nurture thing.

00:29:51.650 --> 00:29:55.403
Whatever they experienced, they would talk the polar opposite of you and I would agree with that.

00:29:56.345 --> 00:30:00.390
Like I said, the maturity of the individuals is their okayness with contradiction.

00:30:00.390 --> 00:30:04.375
What the problem we've done since the beginning of humanity is.

00:30:04.375 --> 00:30:08.006
When we ask a very intelligent question like that, we pick a side.

00:30:08.006 --> 00:30:18.728
What I'm saying is, if there's more people to understand this conversation and answer it just with a little bit more depth and a little bit more understanding, they would say both.

00:30:18.728 --> 00:30:20.873
What's wrong with both?

00:30:20.873 --> 00:30:28.008
It depends on how the individual came up, it depends on their own experience, it depends on how they, uh, how they believe in nature versus nurture.

00:30:28.008 --> 00:30:31.965
All of that Right, but all of these questions are continuously at the level of the mind.

00:30:31.965 --> 00:30:35.061
The level of the mind wants to know which one you choose.

00:30:35.061 --> 00:30:38.729
When someone says both everyone's like, what do you mean?

00:30:38.729 --> 00:30:40.432
Both what's?

00:30:40.512 --> 00:30:40.752
wrong with?

00:30:40.792 --> 00:30:45.568
both Right In your like I said in your example complete nature.

00:30:45.568 --> 00:30:58.534
You guys were raised by the same parents at the same time and you guys are complete polar opposite, right, our two boys, 14 and 11, their mom's the best mom in the world, but they are two drastically different individuals.

00:30:58.534 --> 00:31:02.648
There's nothing on God's green earth that she can do to make one like the other.

00:31:02.648 --> 00:31:03.351
Nothing.

00:31:03.351 --> 00:31:08.089
Nothing but in a different experience or a different time or a different example.

00:31:08.089 --> 00:31:10.808
Nurture would be something that really impacted an individual.

00:31:12.921 --> 00:31:18.103
And I think for my, my question is not to say it has to be one or the other, because I do think there's obviously.

00:31:18.103 --> 00:31:20.590
You know it's both for sure.

00:31:20.590 --> 00:31:32.195
I mean, just because you know somebody is raised in an extremely abusive household and really has had the worst of what humanity can be they can still have.

00:31:32.195 --> 00:31:40.744
There are examples of people who've pulled themselves out of that and reached the highest highs, themselves out of that and reach the highest highs.

00:31:40.744 --> 00:31:42.713
And just the same way you have people that are raised like in America right now.

00:31:42.713 --> 00:31:51.863
I think one of the biggest things you see a pattern is very entitled college age kids that have had everything given to them turn around and say how unfair the world is.

00:31:51.863 --> 00:32:01.200
And you're sitting there going, do you not see like what you have and the benefits you have, and so it's almost looking for conflict.

00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:06.873
So that's where I kind of wonder and that's where I say I think worldview really comes into play.

00:32:08.683 --> 00:32:24.349
Um, because it is how you person, as you were talking to that consciousness, my consciousness, is different from anybody else's and I truly believe, believe we are, to use today's parlance, I'm player one and everybody else is an NPC.

00:32:24.349 --> 00:32:31.279
You two, right now you're both NPCs, because KJ might be a higher level NPC, because we built that relationship.

00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:33.680
But I can't get into KJ's mind.

00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:37.111
I can never truly understand what is in KJ's mind.

00:32:37.111 --> 00:32:40.036
We've known each other for 10 years and every day truly would be a mystery for me to say what is in KJ's mind.

00:32:39.993 --> 00:32:44.490
We've known each other for 10 years and every day truly would be a mystery for me to say what is KJ thinking?

00:32:44.490 --> 00:32:45.771
Who is he really?

00:32:45.771 --> 00:32:53.532
I have a vague understanding, but we try to have this idea of like I can understand everybody else.

00:32:53.532 --> 00:32:56.105
Most of us can't even understand ourselves.

00:32:56.105 --> 00:33:04.972
So instead of going out and saying, oh, you're this, you're that, the other, for me I'm kind of like I think this is what I think, I think this is what I believe.

00:33:04.972 --> 00:33:16.702
I think I'm right, but hey, if I'm not, I'm more than happy to listen and help me out, tell me where I'm wrong so I can get better, and unfortunately I don't think that is the default for most people.

00:33:17.905 --> 00:33:20.833
No, it's not, absolutely not.

00:33:22.861 --> 00:33:25.105
I got questions that I've been kind of mulling over.

00:33:25.105 --> 00:33:35.189
So if, let's just say the world were to adapt the philosophy of higher consciousness overnight, what do you think the first institution or cultural norm will be the first one to fall?

00:33:39.423 --> 00:33:42.232
Oh, nothing's going to fall these hypotheticals.

00:33:42.232 --> 00:33:43.136
It's not possible.

00:33:43.136 --> 00:33:48.130
8 billion people with their you know, this physical body and the nervous systems we've been giving.

00:33:48.130 --> 00:33:51.705
Um, if let's put it this way, let's metaphorically, let's change it.

00:33:51.705 --> 00:33:55.462
Let's take an eight year old and put them into high school.

00:33:55.462 --> 00:33:58.990
Hey, dude, go get a girlfriend and learn how to drive.

00:33:58.990 --> 00:34:00.464
That kid's getting his ass kicked right.

00:34:00.464 --> 00:34:02.928
That's what I'm talking about levels of consciousness.

00:34:02.928 --> 00:34:12.735
So if all 8 billion people took on higher consciousness, what that means and that's what the consciousness is doing on this planet, that's why there's so much chaos and division right now.

00:34:12.735 --> 00:34:14.726
Consciousness is raising.

00:34:14.726 --> 00:34:16.206
It's 8 billion people.

00:34:16.206 --> 00:34:17.422
It's taking 8 billion people with it.

00:34:17.603 --> 00:34:21.773
So everyone in a sense, is adapting to higher consciousness.

00:34:21.773 --> 00:34:25.630
But a second grader is adapting to third grade.

00:34:25.630 --> 00:34:29.068
A sixth grader may be adapting into moving into junior high.

00:34:29.068 --> 00:34:35.708
Someone in junior high may be adapting and going into high school, right, just like a 12-year-old, naturally turning 13.

00:34:35.708 --> 00:34:39.945
Or an 8-year-old understanding Santa and then maybe by 9 or 10, they wonder if it's their parents.

00:34:39.945 --> 00:34:42.610
It's a subtle, subtle shift.

00:34:43.711 --> 00:34:45.621
Not everyone's going to the top of the mountain.

00:34:45.621 --> 00:34:48.643
Like I said, you can't put an eight-year-old in 10th grade and tell him to go drive a car.

00:34:48.643 --> 00:34:49.909
The world will be a disaster.

00:34:49.909 --> 00:34:50.815
The kid's going to kill himself.

00:34:50.815 --> 00:34:52.541
The universe understands that.

00:34:52.541 --> 00:34:56.766
That's the same universe that created all three of us out of a single cell inside of a woman's body.

00:34:56.766 --> 00:35:01.112
If we want to talk about magical shit, that to me is the most insane thing in the world.

00:35:01.112 --> 00:35:05.150
That we've got a body, physical organs, consciousness, we're saying, we're talking to each other.

00:35:05.150 --> 00:35:12.402
We've got a laptop, there's podcasts and everything from a single cell inside a woman's body, but just because 8 billion people did it, we just take it for granted.

00:35:12.402 --> 00:35:32.449
The whole planet is awakening, but the the, the misnomer of everyone saying awakening, they think everyone's going to the top of the mountain like the yogi meditating in the Himalayas and it's going to be all one and everyone's going to wear loose-fitting white clothing and wear mala beads and they're going to talk quietly and everyone's going to be love Bullshit.

00:35:32.449 --> 00:35:33.170
It's not going to happen.

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:40.032
What we can do, and what the universe knows it can do, is it can take a third grader to fourth or fifth.

00:35:40.032 --> 00:35:48.085
That subtle shift changes a business, it changes politics, it changes a spouse, it changes a relationship, it changes kids, changes adults.

00:35:48.085 --> 00:35:49.748
That's what's happening.

00:35:49.748 --> 00:35:55.070
Naturally, and just so we can bring it more aware to the business, we can bring it more aware to the religion.

00:35:55.070 --> 00:35:59.489
We can bring awareness to it at a very simple understanding.

00:35:59.489 --> 00:36:03.027
So when people start to understand it a little bit more, it just changes their awareness.

00:36:03.027 --> 00:36:04.983
It takes them again from here to here.

00:36:04.983 --> 00:36:08.215
Everything they know in the world is in this little horse, little blinders.

00:36:08.215 --> 00:36:17.188
When they, even with this slight expansion, they got access to more knowledge, more information, more solutions, more questions, different, this, different books, expands everything.

00:36:17.289 --> 00:36:35.530
that's just that net, the way natural, the universe naturally does it there's a book by Paulo Coelho called the Alchemist, which you could take this and expand it, because the story is a little shepherd boy who has a dream and the dream is that he'll find this treasure in the pyramids.

00:36:35.530 --> 00:36:46.847
And he's from Southern Spain, doesn't know what the pyramids are, but he has this dream and as he follows his path, the recurring theme is anyone who is following their dreams.

00:36:46.847 --> 00:36:51.523
The universe conspires to assist them and it is such a.

00:36:51.523 --> 00:36:52.885
It's a great.

00:36:52.885 --> 00:37:00.900
It's a short book I mean fifth, sixth graders can read this and to me it's one of the most profound non-scriptural books that there is.

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:03.668
I actually sent him a copy and said will you sign this?

00:37:03.668 --> 00:37:08.184
And gave it to my wife as a wedding present 25 years ago and she still hasn't read it.

00:37:08.184 --> 00:37:14.581
But to me it's very much along those lines.

00:37:14.661 --> 00:37:44.791
If we look at things, and to me as humans, we ignore and I'm going to go religious here for a second we ignore the fact that there is such a thing as truth with a capital T and when you recognize truth with a capital T, if you don't follow that, that's your own lacking, that's your choices and that's where we fall in and that's where we fail If we're always trying to reach that truth of the capital G, whatever that is.

00:37:44.791 --> 00:37:50.211
And I'm not going to judge anybody else, but to me, I think we all have that same truth.

00:37:50.211 --> 00:37:53.353
That's where we progress and that's what you're talking about.

00:37:53.353 --> 00:37:58.668
Going from third grade to fourth grade to fifth grade is when we are in pursuit of that ultimate truth.

00:37:58.668 --> 00:38:01.041
That's where we grow and that's where we find value.

00:38:01.041 --> 00:38:06.885
And part of that wisdom is understanding that everybody is on their own journey and everybody's on their own path.

00:38:07.407 --> 00:38:20.112
And you do look at a lot of the spiritual ideas and I think most of them, from Christ to Buddha, all the way through, is, hey, we are all just trying to do our best and that's all we can do.

00:38:20.112 --> 00:38:22.103
We are all going to fail.

00:38:22.103 --> 00:38:30.972
And if we don't allow for other people their failures, then that's just worse on us because I can't, I'm not perfect, I'm never going to make anybody else perfect.

00:38:30.972 --> 00:38:35.851
My kids aren't perfect, my goodness, they'll tell me I'm not perfect every day.

00:38:35.851 --> 00:38:41.942
Not perfect every day.

00:38:41.942 --> 00:38:48.173
And as we judge other people for their imperfections, it goes back to the Christian of you see the splinter in your friend's eye, but not the moat in your own eye.

00:38:48.173 --> 00:38:50.570
We're so quick to see other people's problems.

00:38:50.570 --> 00:39:05.199
But we don't understand that we're limited and we're full of errors and we have problems of ourselves, but we're so quick to say we have problems of ourselves, but we're so quick to say but you're wrong.

00:39:14.588 --> 00:39:17.960
Yeah, I mean, and to my point 20 minutes ago, you're a Mormon chaplain.

00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:36.190
A Muslim would say the same thing.

00:39:36.190 --> 00:39:37.893
A Catholic would say the same thing, a Buddhist would.

00:39:37.893 --> 00:39:39.054
It's continuous.

00:39:39.054 --> 00:39:45.302
We continue to say the same shit and what you're saying is correct, it's intelligent, it's heartfelt, it's right.

00:39:45.302 --> 00:39:47.168
I know you mean it, I know it's truth.

00:39:47.168 --> 00:39:50.411
Why is the world so divided and conflicted?

00:39:50.411 --> 00:39:53.585
Because we're selfish.

00:39:53.806 --> 00:39:54.347
We're selfish.

00:39:54.347 --> 00:39:56.806
I think, that's what it is we're selfish.

00:39:57.449 --> 00:40:07.175
My point being we've spent all of humanity here, always here.

00:40:07.175 --> 00:40:18.094
Mental toughness, mental crisis, mental health, mental, this self-development train like a Navy SEAL mental, mental, mental, mental, mental, mental.

00:40:18.094 --> 00:40:19.280
This is a tool that only knows division.

00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.007
It only knows division, it only knows division.

00:40:22.007 --> 00:40:23.672
It uses us.

00:40:24.735 --> 00:40:26.219
You go deep into consciousness.

00:40:26.219 --> 00:40:28.130
You understand the mind came from consciousness.

00:40:28.130 --> 00:40:30.039
You tap into consciousness, you are consciousness.

00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:33.431
Every piece of knowledge you've ever understood came from consciousness.

00:40:33.431 --> 00:40:36.442
You use the mind, rather the mind using you.

00:40:36.442 --> 00:40:38.003
You understand it's.

00:40:38.043 --> 00:40:42.512
You understand that your politics are the same as the side that you think is ruining the world.

00:40:42.512 --> 00:40:49.405
You understand that the comment that just came out of Lance's mouth is the same comment that comes out of the Muslim and the Hindu and the Buddhist and the Catholic and the atheist.

00:40:49.405 --> 00:40:57.306
Just bringing awareness to that, just at a deeper level, just at a different answer, that's where we start to really expand things.

00:40:57.306 --> 00:41:04.255
Because usually, when you say what you say, lance, people will say, yeah, I completely agree with you, and we'd move on to the next question.

00:41:04.255 --> 00:41:10.067
Well, we've been moving on to the next question since the beginning of humanity and we've never been so divided and conflicted.

00:41:10.067 --> 00:41:11.827
So I just want to bring awareness to consciousness.

00:41:11.827 --> 00:41:16.911
I want to bring awareness to one just one layer deeper and just see what happens.

00:41:16.911 --> 00:41:26.065
I may be a lunatic, this may be the worst thing I've ever done in my life, and I may make a billion people worse off, but it hasn't been tried, and neutrality is not a thing.

00:41:26.065 --> 00:41:27.449
So let's see what happens.

00:41:29.201 --> 00:41:36.431
So, charlie, let me ask you something, then, and this is, I think, what you're getting at, but I want to see if I'm right.

00:41:36.431 --> 00:42:01.389
Okay, the difference is we are dominated by our physical brain and we're not allowing our mind to have the true power, because the mind is what our real consciousness is, it's not our brain, it's not the firing synapses, it's that, whatever word you want to call, but it's your mind versus your brain.

00:42:01.389 --> 00:42:08.789
And that, maybe, is where the disconnect in the world comes from, because our brain is in the physical world, but our minds aren't.

00:42:08.789 --> 00:42:18.865
And if it's not, if that's not right, feel free to say nope, I'm out on a limb, which happens all the time.

00:42:19.045 --> 00:42:21.054
No, you're, you're, no, you're not out on a limb.

00:42:21.054 --> 00:42:34.871
I'm just trying to figure out how to answer that in the best way possible, because there's quite a few intelligent people in the neuroscience, neurosurgeon, that truly still believe the brain creates consciousness.

00:42:34.871 --> 00:42:40.583
Thinking the brain creates consciousness is like listening to your car radio and the band's going to be inside your car.

00:42:40.583 --> 00:42:47.686
There have been tens of millions of near-death experiences where there's no ekg, no brain snaps this, no heart, everything.

00:42:47.686 --> 00:42:54.028
They're dead for 10, 20, 50 minutes and they can tell you everything that happened with inside that uh, surgical or at the car wreck.

00:42:54.650 --> 00:42:56.322
Consciousness is fundamental to our reality.

00:42:56.322 --> 00:42:57.766
Consciousness was there before the brain.

00:42:57.766 --> 00:42:59.449
Consciousness birthed the brain.

00:42:59.449 --> 00:43:00.972
Consciousness birthed the mind.

00:43:00.972 --> 00:43:04.442
It birthed our thoughts.

00:43:04.442 --> 00:43:06.824
Right, what you're saying is correct.

00:43:06.824 --> 00:43:08.907
There's the physical brain.

00:43:08.907 --> 00:43:09.728
It's just a filter.

00:43:09.728 --> 00:43:12.432
The mind is, in a sense, separate.

00:43:12.432 --> 00:43:18.644
It's being filtered through there, but both of those were created by consciousness.

00:43:18.664 --> 00:43:22.934
What you said about 15 minutes ago about how you don't know what KJ thinks, right.

00:43:22.934 --> 00:43:34.614
If you take a light and you shine it through a prism, it's going to refract a billion different rays of light to our eyes.

00:43:34.614 --> 00:43:39.806
How this world's built, how our mind perceives things, we're going to see a billion different rays of light.

00:43:39.806 --> 00:43:41.130
They're going to be separate.

00:43:41.130 --> 00:43:43.947
One's going to go off that direction, one's going to go off that direction.

00:43:43.947 --> 00:43:45.130
One's going to go up, one's going to go down.

00:43:45.130 --> 00:43:48.610
But if you bring it back to the source, it's only going to be one.

00:43:48.610 --> 00:43:53.744
There's only one mind, there's only one consciousness, there's only one of us.

00:43:53.744 --> 00:44:02.063
It's the greatest maturity of an individuals.

00:44:02.063 --> 00:44:04.210
Are okay with contradiction, but we are separate.

00:44:04.210 --> 00:44:13.114
And there's three individuals, ones in some weird hotel, apparently kj, you got lance and you got charlie.

00:44:13.114 --> 00:44:16.567
Right, we are separate in how we're perceiving the world.

00:44:18.028 --> 00:44:20.514
So the brain, the mind, only knows division.

00:44:20.514 --> 00:44:23.025
It only knows division.

00:44:23.025 --> 00:44:24.532
It only knows this or that.

00:44:24.532 --> 00:44:25.916
Our parents taught us.

00:44:25.916 --> 00:44:32.291
Their parents before them taught us pick a side, pick a God, pick a religion, pick a politician.

00:44:32.291 --> 00:44:35.590
If you're born in Utah, you're most likely red and Republican.

00:44:35.590 --> 00:44:38.824
If you're born up in the Northwest, you're most likely blue and a Democrat.

00:44:38.824 --> 00:44:50.242
Right, the point is just bringing awareness to how divided this tool is, that our condition is so easily removed when we understand that we're just what we learned, what we're around, what our parents taught us.

00:44:50.242 --> 00:44:56.550
The main point is bringing it back down to consciousness, bringing it down to the source, once we just start-.

00:44:56.599 --> 00:44:57.597
Charlie, let me ask you a question here.

00:44:57.597 --> 00:44:58.818
Go ahead and once we just start to Charlie let me ask you a question here.

00:44:58.813 --> 00:44:58.945
Go ahead.

00:45:00.822 --> 00:45:03.389
Oh, I don't know if you're familiar with Orson Scott Card.

00:45:03.389 --> 00:45:05.195
He's an author.

00:45:05.195 --> 00:45:08.706
He wrote Ender's Game, yes, and one of my favorite books.

00:45:08.706 --> 00:45:15.273
So in oh, I'll disagree because I love the book and the series so much.

00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:28.599
Uh-oh.

00:45:28.619 --> 00:45:29.382
I lost him back on lance but uh, there.

00:45:29.382 --> 00:45:29.782
Oh, okay, there we go.

00:45:29.782 --> 00:45:30.164
Did I come back on?

00:45:30.164 --> 00:45:30.525
No, I hear you yep.

00:45:30.545 --> 00:45:40.731
So later on, one of the books is called children of the mind and and in it he about this connection and he calls it a full and remember, this is science fiction.

00:45:40.731 --> 00:45:49.188
Uh, he calls this iowa is what he would call this different spelling, the state.

00:45:49.188 --> 00:45:52.681
But interesting because he point he in this.

00:45:52.681 --> 00:46:24.530
In the book he's saying or at least you know, again, it's a science fiction book that we're all connected, some connected connected more, some connected less In your beliefs on consciousness, do you believe that there is a connection If there is, like my connection to my dad is going to be a lot stronger than some random person who lives in China right now that I don't really know, but there is still a human connection or is that something that wouldn't make sense?

00:46:24.530 --> 00:46:40.289
I'm just curious Do you believe there is an innate connection that we all have at, I'll say, the spiritual level or the conscious level, or is that something it doesn't really play into into your thought process or philosophy?

00:46:44.275 --> 00:46:47.380
first of all, every sci-fi movie is just a coming attraction.

00:46:47.380 --> 00:46:54.311
Every sci-fi movie is just the construct we've been given it.

00:46:54.311 --> 00:46:56.740
You watch what happens in the next couple years.

00:46:56.740 --> 00:47:03.514
Every one of those movies will be realistic, if not completely real.

00:47:03.514 --> 00:47:11.809
All of that shit's real when you understand consciousness and you can tap into it and you work with, like I work with and I've spoken to a lot of remote viewers.

00:47:11.809 --> 00:47:17.646
You remember the CIA and the Stargate program where they'd be able to sit here in Utah and they'd be able to tell you what's on a desk in Russia.

00:47:17.646 --> 00:47:30.726
So, to your point of your connection, it's all connected and there are individuals that when they get very talented or they have an awareness or they want to get good at remote viewing, they can check out other planets.

00:47:30.726 --> 00:47:32.170
They can check out what's in the other room.

00:47:32.170 --> 00:47:34.563
They could come to your room right now and tell you what's going on.

00:47:34.563 --> 00:47:35.824
That's a real thing.

00:47:35.824 --> 00:47:38.166
The governments do it all across the globe.

00:47:38.166 --> 00:47:39.148
That's the.

00:47:39.188 --> 00:47:44.434
I mean, that's, that's, it's uh yeah, old school that used to be called astral projection, correct.

00:47:49.860 --> 00:47:52.083
Well, there's astral projection, there's out of body experiences, there's there's a shit ton of stuff.

00:47:52.083 --> 00:47:54.306
But to your point, yes, you are more connected.

00:47:54.306 --> 00:47:57.809
You will have more of a connection to your dad, to your family, to people who are close to you.

00:47:57.809 --> 00:48:03.940
Right, there's a great teacher that had a great analogy of an infinite river of consciousness and you know how.

00:48:03.940 --> 00:48:08.181
In a river there's whirlpools and then all of a sudden the whirlpool just kind of dissipates.

00:48:08.181 --> 00:48:11.472
He says that's an incarnation.

00:48:11.472 --> 00:48:18.710
So when the whirlpool goes into that infinite river of consciousness, this whirlpool is going to pull in individuals.

00:48:18.710 --> 00:48:21.963
That's going to be your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister, your friends.

00:48:21.963 --> 00:48:25.771
Kj, me, right, I'm at your whirlpool right now.

00:48:25.811 --> 00:48:31.987
Just to your point of like, we're an NPC, right, you've got your own little whirlpool, you've got your own little consciousness and there's individuals.

00:48:31.987 --> 00:48:35.003
There's people in the grocery store, there's people in your neighborhood, there's people you love.

00:48:35.003 --> 00:48:43.135
There's people, yes, you will have a much deeper connection to your dad, to your wife, to your kids, than some random person in China, because they're not in your awareness.

00:48:43.135 --> 00:48:46.507
If they become in your awareness, guess what?

00:48:46.507 --> 00:48:47.891
They're coming near your whirlpool.

00:48:47.891 --> 00:48:53.012
You're going to have more connection to them, but just like a single water that drops into an ocean.

00:48:53.012 --> 00:49:01.541
That little drop of water into the ocean is connected to another drop and that drops connected to another drop, and that drops connected to another drop and that drops connect like it's all just one ocean.

00:49:02.945 --> 00:49:09.105
Now in our mind, how we're built in this 3d realm with the very divided mind, those are all constructs.

00:49:09.105 --> 00:49:11.550
We talk about it like it's all going to change.

00:49:11.550 --> 00:49:17.565
How happy we are because we're this infinite soul and it's all one and it's all love and everything's going to be fine after we die.

00:49:17.565 --> 00:49:19.175
Sweet, that's, that's great.

00:49:19.175 --> 00:49:20.400
Can I get there sooner?

00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:24.632
Because I want to talk to my soul and wonder what in the hell he signed up for.

00:49:24.632 --> 00:49:31.445
Again, the maturity of an individual is they're okay with contradiction, because that's all this life is, is contradiction.

00:49:31.445 --> 00:49:37.905
But to your point, yes, you're going to have a much stronger connection with your father and those closest to you.

00:49:38.505 --> 00:49:42.293
Yeah, I think, just think just the answer of that there is that connection to everybody.

00:49:42.293 --> 00:50:09.648
I think that that is lost in the world is that, no matter how slight that connection is, is that we are connected to people in some way, and not just people, but anything that has that spirit or soul or whatever, whether it's our pets, whether it's plants now again it might there might be an ant outside I'm connected to by you know the the most minute nothingness, but there's still that connection.

00:50:09.648 --> 00:50:18.146
And that's where I think that that we sometimes, um, we, we kind of forget the value of just the life we're living.

00:50:18.146 --> 00:50:25.233
And that's kind of the downfall of when we don't recognize the life that we're living.

00:50:25.233 --> 00:50:29.610
And maybe that's why people, you know suicide is because they, they miss that.

00:50:29.630 --> 00:50:34.827
Well, I firmly, actually I'm not guessing, I know that that's part of it is they, they miss those connections.

00:50:34.827 --> 00:50:40.862
And so as we build those connections, I think that's truly where the value in this life is are those connections.

00:50:40.862 --> 00:51:02.597
And, to your point, as we have those connections and consciousness, as our consciousness grows, those connections become easier and better, because your judgment turns off when you become neutral and it's easier to make a connection when you allow somebody to believe what they believe and you don't come from a point of you're wrong and I'm right, and now we have that conflict yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:51:02.617 --> 00:51:07.869
Expanded consciousness just makes you more neutral and you don't give a shit if they're catholic or atheist, you just don't.

00:51:07.869 --> 00:51:11.188
You know it doesn't become a thing of their identity, it just becomes.

00:51:11.188 --> 00:51:20.983
Because this neutrality, this, this position in business and politics, it understands very firmly that it's not going to change anyone's opinion or change anyone's mind and it's not meant to change anyone's opinion or change anyone's mind and it's not meant to.

00:51:20.983 --> 00:51:22.186
That's neutrality.

00:51:22.186 --> 00:51:23.351
That's the great thing about this position.

00:51:23.351 --> 00:51:26.547
There's no um manipulation.

00:51:26.547 --> 00:51:27.849
There's no.

00:51:27.849 --> 00:51:30.302
Hey, I'm the nice guy, you know you should come join the catholics.

00:51:30.302 --> 00:51:33.690
Hey, I'm a nice guy, you should come join the republican party.

00:51:35.867 --> 00:51:45.655
No neutrality step on the journey to to, to manipulate just, oh, you do whatever the hell you want to do legitimately.

00:51:45.655 --> 00:51:47.086
Do whatever the hell you want to do.

00:51:47.086 --> 00:51:49.144
Oh, now we're back.

00:51:52.630 --> 00:51:55.400
KJ go ahead now, sorry I lost both of your first seconds.

00:51:55.949 --> 00:51:56.460
What was the question?

00:51:58.005 --> 00:51:59.148
yeah, I was asking what is the?

00:51:59.148 --> 00:52:02.266
What's the first step to neutrality and higher consciousness?

00:52:02.266 --> 00:52:03.028
Can you guys hear me?

00:52:04.932 --> 00:52:06.264
Yes, yeah, we got the question that time.

00:52:06.264 --> 00:52:08.568
The first step is conversations like this.

00:52:08.568 --> 00:52:11.708
The first step is bringing awareness to what consciousness is.

00:52:11.708 --> 00:52:14.028
The first step is the metaphor of the fish swimming in the ocean.

00:52:14.028 --> 00:52:17.409
The first step is talking about neutrality.

00:52:17.409 --> 00:52:27.648
It's again truly listening to this conversation, because these questions are asked all the time, but I can promise you the the way I answer them is a little bit differently than what the way other people answer them right?

00:52:27.648 --> 00:52:30.041
Just a subtle, subtle shift.

00:52:30.041 --> 00:52:32.670
The seed's always going to be planted to you guys.

00:52:32.670 --> 00:52:33.701
The seed's going to be planted to me.

00:52:33.701 --> 00:52:35.063
The seed's going to be planted to your listeners.

00:52:35.063 --> 00:52:37.788
The universe has an infinite amount of water.

00:52:37.788 --> 00:52:38.548
It's a great gardener.

00:52:38.548 --> 00:52:39.710
It'll just expand.

00:52:39.710 --> 00:52:41.695
It'll just expand.

00:52:48.273 --> 00:52:48.914
That's how it begins.

00:52:51.849 --> 00:52:54.920
KJ, I'm letting you go, man.

00:52:54.920 --> 00:53:01.304
I am blown away, man, I am just I'm about to tap that Before we start.

00:53:01.304 --> 00:53:05.583
Here's a great way to kind of tie it off, because my mind is blown, man.

00:53:05.583 --> 00:53:18.637
The whole idea of consciousness and being able to, of knowledge, is just something tied up.

00:53:18.637 --> 00:53:23.027
So tell me more about your, your, your, your professional journey.

00:53:23.027 --> 00:53:25.900
Like how does that, how does that everything we talked about?

00:53:25.900 --> 00:53:27.806
How does that make the organization better?

00:53:27.806 --> 00:53:28.978
How does that make our world better?

00:53:28.978 --> 00:53:30.443
How does that make society better?

00:53:32.735 --> 00:53:33.657
So this position?

00:53:33.657 --> 00:53:37.806
Um, the most important thing to discuss is what it's not.

00:53:37.806 --> 00:53:46.179
Because people hear consciousness, they think spirituality, they think a very small group of individuals and they think of the wellness program that was crammed down their throat the last 20 years.

00:53:46.179 --> 00:53:56.139
Right here in the West, we've got a lot of atheists, a lot of Catholics and a lot of Baptist, and as soon as they were asked to meditate, they referenced Buddhism and they were completely turned off by it, right?

00:53:56.139 --> 00:53:57.663
So let's make that damn clear.

00:53:57.663 --> 00:54:00.952
The chief consciousness officer doesn't give a shit about that.

00:54:00.952 --> 00:54:03.438
It is not another part of the wellness program.

00:54:03.438 --> 00:54:07.677
The chief consciousness officer me in particular and the people I'm helped train.

00:54:07.677 --> 00:54:10.335
So when companies start hiring this, they're going to be ready for it.

00:54:10.335 --> 00:54:12.503
They have a business background.

00:54:12.503 --> 00:54:14.351
They understand business lingo.

00:54:14.351 --> 00:54:18.362
They have an executive background as well right, they can talk to them.

00:54:18.362 --> 00:54:19.865
They can understand structure.

00:54:19.865 --> 00:54:24.103
They can also understand that the business needs to be profitable with purpose.

00:54:24.103 --> 00:54:27.101
They need to treat their employees well, but they need to get shit done.

00:54:27.101 --> 00:54:32.543
It's not some spiritual individual that comes in and tells everyone to meditate and they think it's going to solve all the company's problems.

00:54:32.543 --> 00:54:34.438
That's not the case, right?

00:54:34.438 --> 00:54:40.063
This individual goes to the CEO and takes them from here to here, helps them with strategy.

00:54:40.063 --> 00:54:47.456
It helps HR hire different individuals, maybe higher consciousness individuals, maybe marketing stuck on marketing and they need some more creative ideas.

00:54:47.456 --> 00:54:49.742
Well, everything that marketing has been doing is right here.

00:54:49.742 --> 00:54:54.746
In this little tunnel vision, you expand their awareness, they got better ideas for marketing, sales, thinks of new ways to sales.

00:54:56.195 --> 00:55:07.278
The main thing here, too, though, is what's happened in the past with conscious capitalism, which is not consciousness, conscious leadership, conscious management.

00:55:07.278 --> 00:55:09.327
It's a two to four week program, maybe a two month program, right, just for the executives.

00:55:09.327 --> 00:55:10.431
What about the other 10 months?

00:55:10.431 --> 00:55:12.217
And what about the other 90% of the employees?

00:55:12.217 --> 00:55:13.119
You think it leaks down?

00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:14.503
It doesn't.

00:55:14.503 --> 00:55:25.849
It goes to those executives, and if they don't understand it, if they don't have a level of consciousness to understand what they're being taught, do you think they can regurgitate it and reteach it to customer service, to mental management, to operations, to manufacturing?

00:55:25.849 --> 00:55:34.121
No, so what we've done is we've spent a small fortune on the 10 to 20 executives within an organization, and, yeah, they feel a little bit happier.

00:55:34.121 --> 00:55:36.724
Maybe they go on a 10-day silent retreat or do some psilocybin.

00:55:36.724 --> 00:55:43.405
But to my question, business has never been more divided and conflicted.

00:55:43.405 --> 00:55:49.701
So the conscious capitalism, the conscious leadership and the conscious management doesn't seem to be leaking down to the masses.

00:55:50.376 --> 00:56:09.096
This position is a full-time, 365 day a year, hanging out at the watering hole, helping customer service, helping management, talking to operations, talking to the financial officer, talking to marketing, talking to HR, talking to everybody and bringing a culture of higher clarity to everyone at every level of the business.

00:56:09.096 --> 00:56:12.724
That is the drastic difference, just like technology.

00:56:12.724 --> 00:56:15.858
30 years ago, everyone knew technology was taking over.

00:56:15.858 --> 00:56:21.498
Everyone knew they needed a URL to be online, but not a single person within the company knew how to code.

00:56:21.498 --> 00:56:26.637
So they looked in the corner like, hey, let's go get those weird guys and girls and call them chief technology officers.

00:56:26.637 --> 00:56:28.442
Now it's a staple in the C-suite.

00:56:29.384 --> 00:56:33.222
Consciousness is becoming the central focus of humanity.

00:56:33.222 --> 00:56:38.038
So now, okay, hey, let's find some weird dudes and know how to talk about consciousness and have metaphors about fish.

00:56:38.038 --> 00:56:41.603
Hey, I'm right here, and there's a couple other people like me that are neutral too.

00:56:41.603 --> 00:56:42.965
You should start hiring us.

00:56:42.965 --> 00:56:45.148
This is a full-time position.

00:56:45.148 --> 00:56:46.617
This is the big change here.

00:56:46.617 --> 00:56:49.346
It's not a coach, it's not a consultant, it's not a four-week program.

00:56:49.346 --> 00:56:50.958
It's day in and day out.

00:56:50.958 --> 00:56:52.663
Everything is consciousness.

00:56:52.724 --> 00:56:55.597
Kj, when you talk about your mind being blown and trying to figure things out.

00:56:55.597 --> 00:56:57.298
You were already consciousness.

00:56:57.298 --> 00:56:58.900
You were already tapped into it.

00:56:58.900 --> 00:57:01.364
Now you're aware of it, now you have access to it.

00:57:01.364 --> 00:57:18.505
And the number one thing that I love to bring to everyone's attention everything you've ever known, anything you've ever read, anything you've ever watched in the video, anything you've ever been taught, anything you've ever learned as a religion, anything you've ever been learned from politics knowledge is structured in consciousness.

00:57:18.505 --> 00:57:22.201
Every thought, everything you've ever learned, is consciousness.

00:57:22.201 --> 00:57:29.623
You start to tap into that vast resource that those great authors Paulo the alchemist where do you think that came from?

00:57:29.623 --> 00:57:33.760
You think those are his original thoughts Came from consciousness.

00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:37.222
They were just funneled through him and he made a shit ton of money after it.

00:57:37.222 --> 00:57:41.829
Whatever our awareness points to, when we understand, we're consciousness.

00:57:41.829 --> 00:57:45.661
We have access to any piece of knowledge we've ever wanted.

00:57:48.085 --> 00:57:53.548
You know, it's funny, as you're saying this, that you can say it to the top, you can say it to the bottom and all that.

00:57:53.548 --> 00:57:57.664
You just completely described a good chaplain in the army.

00:57:57.664 --> 00:58:10.820
Because we can say all the right things to the right people in the Army, because we can say all the right things to the right people and it just stops, it doesn't go any further and it is day in, day out trying to help these soldiers understand the point of this stuff.

00:58:10.820 --> 00:58:13.878
And the commanders go yeah, yeah, chaplain, whatever.

00:58:13.878 --> 00:58:16.626
And the senior NCAA yeah, okay, chaplain.

00:58:16.626 --> 00:58:20.666
And there's those few that kind of go oh, chaplain, yeah, I like that.

00:58:22.097 --> 00:58:30.730
So, man, I need to get into the chief consciousness officer game because I think that would go right into my next career as I retire this summer.

00:58:30.730 --> 00:58:34.597
But hey, we're at about an hour, KJ, do you want to?

00:58:34.597 --> 00:58:37.525
Charlie, we try to keep it for an hour and we have to do a cutoff.

00:58:37.525 --> 00:58:55.208
If you want to stay on, you're more than welcome to, but we don't want to monopolize your time on a Sunday night, so we'll give you the last word here and for those of you who want to stay on, please do, and KJ will get back to our normal two-sided unconsciousness arguments.

00:58:56.956 --> 00:58:59.224
Oh, you guys need me to leave so you guys can argue about the sides.

00:58:59.224 --> 00:59:00.556
Cool, awesome, thumbs up.

00:59:00.556 --> 00:59:00.938
See you later.

00:59:00.938 --> 00:59:01.681
I'm just kidding.

00:59:03.324 --> 00:59:03.666
No man.

00:59:04.759 --> 00:59:05.623
It doesn't do any good.

00:59:05.623 --> 00:59:10.605
It doesn't do any good to talk politics when it's like or you know we're going to talk about.

00:59:10.605 --> 00:59:15.039
You know what happened in Colorado today, and that's definitely not consciousness.

00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:15.802
With what?

00:59:16.003 --> 00:59:16.945
happened in Colorado.

00:59:16.945 --> 00:59:17.527
Hold on, hold on.

00:59:22.454 --> 00:59:23.217
Just for the hell of it.

00:59:23.217 --> 00:59:23.938
What happened in Colorado?

00:59:23.938 --> 00:59:57.829
So they were having a kind of a peace walk, a Jewish peace walk, and there was a self-proclaimed Muslim Palestinian who modified some yard equipment, put gasoline in it and used it as a modified flamethrower and threw Molotov cocktails and severely burned six or more people because he didn't agree with what's going on in Palestine and Israel and he said if the Jews are going to kill my people, I'm going to kill them, even though the people in Colorado have absolutely nothing to do with it.

00:59:57.829 --> 01:00:00.137
And then the Colorado police turn around and go.

01:00:00.137 --> 01:00:06.108
We don't want to say that it was terrorism, that's too soon, even though the guy was yelling Allahu Akbar the whole time.

01:00:06.755 --> 01:00:14.576
So it becomes this idea of you can't condemn evil for being evil, and this, to me, goes back to truth.

01:00:14.576 --> 01:00:17.342
There is good and there is evil in this world.

01:00:17.342 --> 01:00:25.639
And when you don't call out evil for evil, then you're just allowing it to continue to exist and people will say, well, you're evil.

01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:30.398
It goes back to somebody's terrorist is somebody else's freedom fighter.

01:00:30.398 --> 01:00:32.987
And I say no good is good, evil is evil.

01:00:32.987 --> 01:00:43.579
And if you're out harming other people based on beliefs, you're wrong and you're evil, especially if you're murdering people because of their faith Like I don't.

01:00:43.579 --> 01:00:44.242
And same thing.

01:00:44.242 --> 01:00:50.367
I don't want anybody who's Jewish walking up to somebody who's Palestinian or Muslim and taking a gun out and pulling the trigger.

01:00:50.367 --> 01:00:51.619
That's just as evil.

01:00:53.556 --> 01:00:54.699
Which I completely agree with.

01:00:54.699 --> 01:00:57.244
But every religion has been doing that since the beginning of time, right?

01:00:58.007 --> 01:00:58.288
For sure.

01:00:58.835 --> 01:01:03.697
So to that lady's comment, one person's terrorist is someone other of someone else's freedom fighter.

01:01:03.697 --> 01:01:05.882
Now, when, when we talk about neutrality?

01:01:05.882 --> 01:01:07.027
I'll just make one more comment.

01:01:07.027 --> 01:01:18.425
I was talking to a lady that works with human trafficking and she was listening to me, like you guys are, and she was kind of starting to get agitated and she's like, well, where's your neutrality with, um, uh, human trafficking?

01:01:18.425 --> 01:01:20.112
I'm like that's pretty black and white.

01:01:20.112 --> 01:01:21.155
I'm not being neutral there.

01:01:21.155 --> 01:01:21.777
That's pretty bad.

01:01:21.777 --> 01:01:23.760
Like that's, I'm not being neutral there.

01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:24.121
That's pretty bad.

01:01:24.121 --> 01:01:24.742
Like, that's terrible.

01:01:24.742 --> 01:01:25.003
Like, can you?

01:01:25.023 --> 01:01:28.019
Again, the individual's maturity is their okayness with contradiction.

01:01:28.019 --> 01:01:30.711
There's a lot of gray area in this world.

01:01:30.711 --> 01:01:35.163
There's a lot of things that we can bring to this discussion, like, yes, evil is evil, good is good.

01:01:35.163 --> 01:01:41.262
To the lady's point, it's a little bit of both when it comes to that, because one terrorist is someone's freedom fighter, etc.

01:01:41.262 --> 01:01:52.266
All religions, all Catholicism, all Mormons, all Muslims, we've all done like all the stories we've seen in history All sides have killed people over because their gods have been differently Right.

01:01:52.266 --> 01:01:54.101
So just bringing awareness to that.

01:01:54.101 --> 01:01:55.902
But then you come to a story here in Colorado.

01:01:55.902 --> 01:01:59.226
That's, that's horrible, absolutely horrible.

01:01:59.226 --> 01:01:59.586
It can be both.

01:01:59.586 --> 01:02:00.349
That's just absolutely horrible.

01:02:00.349 --> 01:02:01.153
That's horrible, absolutely horrible.

01:02:01.153 --> 01:02:01.474
It can be both.

01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:15.646
That's just absolutely horrible and and that's, I think that's when, when the woman you were talking about, that goes to the um, the logical fallacy of, uh, going to the absurd absurdum.

01:02:15.646 --> 01:02:19.461
Um, you know well, there's no such thing as good or bad, black or white.

01:02:19.461 --> 01:02:20.215
Yes, there.

01:02:20.215 --> 01:02:21.797
Well, there's no such thing as good or bad, black or white.

01:02:21.797 --> 01:02:22.117
Yes, there is.

01:02:22.117 --> 01:02:29.750
It is bad to pull a gun out and shoot somebody in the head because you don't like them, for whatever reason.

01:02:29.750 --> 01:02:32.443
That's why I laugh at things like hate crimes.

01:02:32.443 --> 01:02:36.606
Crime is never committed in the name of love and that is bad.

01:02:37.275 --> 01:02:41.735
Hurting somebody is bad and so neutrality for the rest of the time.

01:02:41.735 --> 01:02:44.217
Sure, you're probably going to, if you can practice.

01:02:44.217 --> 01:02:56.284
My guess is you would say you're going to practice, hopefully practice neutrality 99.9% of the time.

01:02:56.284 --> 01:02:57.987
This is wrong.

01:02:57.987 --> 01:03:04.250
I laugh at the moral relativism of when people say things like who are you to judge me?

01:03:04.250 --> 01:03:05.951
I should be able to do whatever I want.

01:03:05.951 --> 01:03:08.253
I say OK, let's test that.

01:03:08.253 --> 01:03:24.282
Go, walk down the middle of the highway if you want to and see how that works out for you, because everybody else is not going to be avoiding you if they're going down the freeway because you think you should be able to do it.

01:03:24.282 --> 01:03:33.128
If you truly believe in moral relativism, then you should have no problem with me coming over there and punching you directly in the face because I feel like I should be able to.

01:03:33.128 --> 01:03:33.989
Why can't I?

01:03:33.989 --> 01:03:38.032
So they're still good, they're still right and they're still wrong.

01:03:38.391 --> 01:03:48.039
And I'm not even talking about laws, I'm talking about the moral good and bad.

01:03:48.039 --> 01:03:49.985
And if you're trafficking kids or people talk about the death penalty.

01:03:49.985 --> 01:03:56.744
If somebody says to me should a child molester, child pornographer and molester and producer get life in prison, I say no, they should be castrated first and then thrown in jail.

01:03:56.744 --> 01:04:01.586
If not the death penalty, I'm more than happy with taking those people off the earth.

01:04:01.586 --> 01:04:16.887
So it's okay to have non-neutrality when non-neutrality is justified, but most of the time, I think it's fair to say that we can find a place in neutrality, because those aren't the extreme examples.

01:04:17.815 --> 01:04:19.518
Agreed, absolutely agree.

01:04:19.518 --> 01:04:23.646
Well, boys, it's been a slice of of heaven.

01:04:23.666 --> 01:04:29.364
I'll let you guys get back to arguing, hey charlie, it's been great if you didn't have it up.

01:04:29.364 --> 01:04:31.068
Uh, kj, do you want to hit that?

01:04:31.369 --> 01:04:38.740
uh, that, uh, there you go is that the right line, um any other ways they can reach you.

01:04:38.740 --> 01:04:39.422
Are you social?

01:04:41.766 --> 01:04:46.193
Um, I assume you guys will put it in the video notes, Just just through my LinkedIn.

01:04:46.193 --> 01:04:51.862
Linkedin is the best Lost you.

01:04:51.882 --> 01:04:53.726
KJ we definitely appreciate it.

01:04:53.726 --> 01:04:56.110
The journey is just getting started.

01:04:56.110 --> 01:04:57.699
I can't wait to dive in some more, brother.

01:04:57.699 --> 01:04:58.039
Thank you.

01:04:58.842 --> 01:05:01.583
Yeah, Anything you guys need any questions, anything your listeners want, let me know.

01:05:01.583 --> 01:05:02.572
Thank you guys for having me on.

01:05:02.572 --> 01:05:03.155
We'll see you later.

01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:05.021
Alright, Charlie, have a good one.

01:05:05.021 --> 01:05:14.606
See you guys, I think we might have to have Charlie back in six months or a year or sooner.

01:05:14.606 --> 01:05:16.875
That was really really interesting.

01:05:16.875 --> 01:05:23.985
I kind of believe a lot of what he believes already Say again.

01:05:25.536 --> 01:05:31.684
For the guys in CTR media, if you guys are still with us, we did run over a little bit, but now we got to say goodbye.

01:05:31.684 --> 01:05:33.682
Hopefully you guys are comfortable joining us.

01:05:33.682 --> 01:05:34.447
You know where we are.

01:05:34.447 --> 01:05:37.360
We're on Twitch, we're on YouTube, we're on Facebook.

01:05:37.360 --> 01:05:41.025
Swing over and see us and we'll catch you guys next week.

01:05:41.025 --> 01:05:48.181
For those of you guys that are that are following on CTR media, I do apologize for running just a little bit over, but, man, that interview was something special.

01:05:48.181 --> 01:05:51.315
I enjoyed every bit of it, every bit of it.

01:05:51.315 --> 01:05:52.056
That was.

01:05:52.056 --> 01:05:53.800
That was fantastic, bro.

01:05:53.800 --> 01:06:05.240
So Four minutes, 24 minutes in a world full of chaos, where do you want to start?

01:06:07.394 --> 01:06:11.005
Well, first, we've got to do something about your headphones, man.

01:06:11.005 --> 01:06:15.356
We're missing the first two or three, so you need to start when you start talking.

01:06:15.356 --> 01:06:15.878
You need to go.

01:06:15.878 --> 01:06:21.434
I am going to now start my question Because the audio is delayed.

01:06:21.434 --> 01:06:25.677
It's the weirdest thing you know.

01:06:25.938 --> 01:06:40.257
It's funny though that what Charlie was saying, I think, really kind of goes into what we talk about almost every week, because we're talking about how do we find those win-win situations, what is it about?

01:06:40.257 --> 01:06:43.527
What's going on in the world where it is one side or the other?

01:06:43.527 --> 01:06:54.429
Little does he know what we feel about federal politicians, which is we think they are pretty much horrible human beings that want nothing more than to stay in power.

01:06:54.429 --> 01:06:57.442
They are anything but neutral.

01:06:57.442 --> 01:07:10.427
They want to have their way so that they stay in power and they get all the benefits of that, and I would extend that again to even journalists they want to push their worldview.

01:07:10.427 --> 01:07:14.568
You and I, yeah, I've got my worldview and you've got your worldview.

01:07:14.568 --> 01:07:21.445
But I'm trying to remember the last time I told somebody they were wrong on something that wasn't factual.

01:07:21.445 --> 01:07:24.577
It's different if you're like, hey, two plus two is five.

01:07:24.577 --> 01:07:26.382
That's factually wrong.

01:07:26.382 --> 01:07:36.898
So even with consciousness and I think that's the neutrality goes so far, but when you have a black and white, like two plus two is four, that's not neutral.

01:07:36.898 --> 01:07:37.661
That is good.

01:07:37.661 --> 01:07:40.632
That's something that I think most people can agree with.

01:07:40.632 --> 01:07:51.159
That is good, right, that's something that I think most people can agree with.

01:07:51.159 --> 01:07:59.824
And when we're looking at what's going on in the world today, I have a real problem with the media not calling out the evil that is going on the whole.

01:07:59.824 --> 01:08:02.545
You have Israel, who we all know.

01:08:02.565 --> 01:08:06.606
The conflict in Gaza has been going on now for a year and a half.

01:08:06.606 --> 01:08:20.493
Israel has come out and they are pushing some aid into Gaza because, despite what anybody thinks, israel is not intent on side in Gaza.

01:08:20.493 --> 01:08:31.636
They are not there to wipe out the.

01:08:31.636 --> 01:08:34.220
I think we looked up the numbers last week or the week before.

01:08:34.220 --> 01:08:34.560
What was it?

01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:37.965
7 or 9 million Palestinians that are living in Gaza leaders, which is good.

01:08:37.965 --> 01:08:43.817
They are there to get back their hostages and ultimately, they just kind of want.

01:08:43.817 --> 01:08:52.886
My opinion is Israel wants to be left alone, to do Israel's things and not have to worry about a neighbor next door sending in suicide bombers and terrorists and all that.

01:08:52.886 --> 01:09:19.805
So, and you can have a different opinion, that's fine If you don't believe that that's Israel's goals, that's fine, but they go in and they're doing aid, and during this aid distribution, the shots start ringing out and it ended up killing, I believe, 20 odd Palestinians and injuring 100 more, and the AP reported that it was the Israeli soldiers just opened fire on these Palestinians.

01:09:19.805 --> 01:09:44.429
It was picked up by the New York Times, by the Washington Post, all the normal players, they all came out and said, yep, that's exactly what happened, and, as of about four hours ago, suddenly it was retracted, because these news organizations are listening to what is being put out by Hamas, and Hamas hasn't always been honest.

01:09:44.429 --> 01:09:46.618
Gasp who knew?

01:09:46.618 --> 01:10:00.859
And so it's starting to come out that it looks like Hamas was opening fire on their own people, which this is not the first time that has happened, and so I think it's really horrible and we're going to see what happens.

01:10:00.998 --> 01:10:05.787
I don't know if this is because of what the US is pushing.

01:10:05.787 --> 01:10:08.457
As far as the peace deal, I know there's some hemming and hawing.

01:10:08.457 --> 01:10:25.788
The US peace deal, which was trying to get a ceasefire, return the hostages I believe it was only half of the hostages that are still alive back to Israel, and one of the things that's really interesting about this peace deal and the peace deals or exchanges that consistently happen.

01:10:25.788 --> 01:10:29.604
I think it's ironic and, casey, tell me what your thought on this is.

01:10:30.154 --> 01:10:40.886
I think it's ironic when the Palestinians will sit and claim and scream about how the Jews think they're better than they are.

01:10:40.886 --> 01:10:43.516
The Israelis and the Zionists are better.

01:10:43.516 --> 01:10:47.024
They treat us like nobodies and we're not nearly as worth.

01:10:47.024 --> 01:10:55.068
And then they turn around and say, well, we'll give you the 10 hostages we have, but we want a thousand prisoners in return.

01:10:55.068 --> 01:11:03.317
Well, didn't that just mean that every one Palestinian you know, one Jew is worth 100 Palestinians by your own math?

01:11:03.317 --> 01:11:15.063
And I think that's kind of funny because that happens over and over and over and that right now is one of the sticking points of Hamas is saying, well, we're not going to do this because of the numbers that are involved.

01:11:15.564 --> 01:11:33.069
And I believe they're saying, for the 10 hostages that they will release, they want it's 11, I think it's 1,100 prisoners, including 125 odd, that are currently serving life sentences in Israel for acts of terror and murder, etc.

01:11:33.069 --> 01:11:33.229
Etc.

01:11:33.229 --> 01:11:57.773
So I think that it's really interesting to see how, in the West, this is being covered A and B, that it's not being called out for what it is, which is just pure propaganda and manipulation by Hamas and the Hamas media machine, that the Western people are buying hook line and sinker.

01:11:57.773 --> 01:11:59.520
I just don't get it.

01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:02.256
No, I do get it, I just think it's crazy.

01:12:07.927 --> 01:12:15.444
It's difficult to find out what is the actual truth.

01:12:15.444 --> 01:12:17.988
Between all the propaganda that's coming out, nobody will tell you.

01:12:17.988 --> 01:12:23.444
Nobody who's ever experienced coming out it's nobody will tell you.

01:12:23.444 --> 01:12:33.944
Nobody who's ever experienced war will be heard the whistle of a bullet fly past their head.

01:12:33.944 --> 01:12:41.145
Will be an advocate of peace because it just it changes after that.

01:12:41.145 --> 01:12:50.090
I would think the hamas government would want to do any and everything.

01:12:50.090 --> 01:13:14.859
It's, uh, just watching the videos of, just watching the videos of Grain and you know, I'm saying just basic necessities.

01:13:14.878 --> 01:13:15.958
Hey, kj, I think we need to.

01:13:15.958 --> 01:13:19.039
I think we need to, I think we need to kill it.

01:13:19.039 --> 01:13:24.443
You're, unfortunately, kj is in a hotel and so his Wi-Fi is cutting in and out.

01:13:24.443 --> 01:13:28.243
We're getting about one out of every three words from you.

01:13:28.243 --> 01:13:34.506
I don't know, maybe that's my bad, maybe it's my Wi-Fi that's going bad.

01:13:34.506 --> 01:13:38.509
It certainly has in the past, so I think we're going to call it for tonight.

01:13:38.509 --> 01:13:40.349
Thanks for joining us.

01:13:40.349 --> 01:13:42.529
We will be back next week.

01:13:42.529 --> 01:13:48.233
Fingers crossed KJ will be on the road in his move.

01:13:48.693 --> 01:13:55.735
You're not going to hear the story, the long story.

01:13:55.735 --> 01:13:57.722
I'll just tell you the short story, because I asked KJ, he lost a bet for his beard.

01:13:57.722 --> 01:14:03.564
His daughter bet him that the Pacers would win game four against the Knicks and KJ was convinced it was going to go back to New York 2-2.

01:14:03.564 --> 01:14:21.721
His daughter was right the Pacers and Oklahoma City in, I think, the greatest NBA final ever, simply because it is the situation that the NBA wants the absolute least.

01:14:21.721 --> 01:14:28.445
If you go back to the 90s, that's what they were scared of.

01:14:28.445 --> 01:14:32.328
They were scared of the Indiana Pacers because they were two of the smallest markets.

01:14:32.328 --> 01:14:37.192
And so now, fast forward 25 years and it's Oklahoma City and Indiana.

01:14:37.891 --> 01:14:38.573
I love it.

01:14:38.573 --> 01:14:43.143
I'm not going to watch a lot of it.

01:14:43.143 --> 01:14:45.395
I love it because I I just I love new, fresh blood.

01:14:45.395 --> 01:14:48.365
I don't like Boston win and LA every year.

01:14:48.365 --> 01:14:49.850
Some people are like that.

01:14:49.850 --> 01:14:52.643
I would have been fine with the Knicks, because the Knicks haven't been in the finals.

01:14:52.643 --> 01:14:56.256
Uh gosh, I don't know the last time the Knicks were in the finals.

01:14:56.256 --> 01:15:03.394
I know their last championship was in the 70s, so so, with that, we will be here next week at 830.

01:15:03.394 --> 01:15:10.140
Kj will hopefully be in a better situation with his Wi-Fi and his headphones, and I'll try to do a better job with my setup as well.

01:15:10.721 --> 01:15:22.734
Also, and this is something that's going to happen a couple weeks I'm going to be on a debate and I will put that information out, but one of these online debates with Andrew from the Whatever podcast.

01:15:22.734 --> 01:15:43.180
We are going to be on a debate against each other and I'm going to basically be defending my faith, as the primer is Joseph Smith is a false prophet, so I will be defending that Joseph Smith was not a false prophet, the founder of the LDS faith.

01:15:43.180 --> 01:15:54.435
And it's going to be hosted by Sarah the raging tomato on Twitter that's her call, but I hope you guys in a couple of weeks want to go in and get some cross.

01:15:54.435 --> 01:15:55.939
Yeah, I know, sarah the raging.

01:15:55.939 --> 01:16:00.619
I didn't know who this was, but if you, if you want to follow somebody on Twitter, it's a.

01:16:00.619 --> 01:16:02.064
It's great's great.

01:16:02.123 --> 01:16:03.988
She is a moderator for these debates.

01:16:03.988 --> 01:16:05.882
They're actually doing a debate right now.

01:16:05.882 --> 01:16:16.646
I don't see what the primer is, but Sarah the Raging Tomato and until next week, two pogs, same pog time, same pog channel.

01:16:16.646 --> 01:16:19.115
Safe travels to KJ Liberty.

01:16:19.115 --> 01:16:23.440
Thanks for being on with us tonight and everybody else who's watching, and we will see you next week.

01:16:40.699 --> 01:16:42.143
Try to take over the world.

01:16:42.143 --> 01:16:43.525
All right, yo, let's get into it.

01:16:43.525 --> 01:16:45.250
Try to take over the world.

01:16:47.715 --> 01:16:48.699
You're preaching treating the cops.

01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:56.899
Try to take over the world and greatest chaplain in the world, mr Larson Neal, try to take over the world.
