EFR 867: How to Manifest Anything You Want - The Role of Theta Brain Waves and the SCIENCE and Spirituality of MANIFESTATION with Jim Curtis

00:00 - Chase (Host) The following is an Operation Podcast production.

00:03 - Jim (Guest) We're in a cage, a cage that we can't see, and we are stuck within this cage of our constructed beliefs and assumptions. These programs have done a lot for us. They've allowed us to be successful in so many areas, They've allowed us to survive, but we don't see them anymore. They've been built and now we're just running the program and we think that we're like living our lives, but consciously, it's only 5% of our decision making. The science of this is that when our brain goes into a theta state, that's when we're most suggestible. And we go into a theta state when right before bed, when we're going to relaxing and like settling down and going to sleep, and then right when we wake up. That's why advertising and Instagram works so well, Because with the bright lights and scroll of Instagram, you immediately go into a theta state.

00:47 - Chase (Host) Are we blocking what we want in our life, and how do we unblock them?

00:50 - Jim (Guest) So this is how we block with the spell I am. We say I am not good enough. I am is creation. It goes right into your identity. I am this. This is Jim Curtis, transformational Coach, and today we're talking about manifestation on Ever Forward Radio.

Thank you for joining me here today. Let's dive in with Jim Curtis.

05:15 - Jim (Guest) You got this incredible tagline of you're here to help others heal and thrive by upgrading their quote I am what do you mean by that I am is the most powerful spell that we can cast when we say that we, I am something. It goes right into our belief system. Say that we, I am something. It's goes right into our belief system. And what we believe is what we manifest, what we create. So if we believe that we can do something, we and undoubtedly find the ways to do it, and that's so. If I am a guy that is great at business, guess what happens? I do great at business. And if I am unlovable, I'll never have a relationship that works. So it creates real power and it creates real pain. So that's what I look at identity, both in the practical and then the spiritual, the divine sense of I am.

05:56 - Chase (Host) You've already started hitting on some key words in terms that I want to get rolling with for this episode, and this episode is really just going to be. My hope is, like this manifestation 101, manifestation masterclass talking about affirmations and how to really think about, describe and build this, this dream life that we all want. Yeah, when I think manifestation, the more and more I've been studying it, it really falls into alignment heavily with my purpose of this show and my personal belief system. That's, how do we keep moving forward, how do we learn how to take awareness and inventory of the things that work for me, but also how can I propel myself forward in all or one unique way of well-being? So let's start things off by really kind of defining our terms and maybe even parsing. I think this is where a lot of people are on the fence about manifestation. Is manifestation strictly a scientific phenomenon or one of the spiritual realm?

06:51 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, that's really interesting. It's interesting because people want to segment things right. They want to create buckets.

07:00 - Chase (Host) One or the other.

07:01 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, let's put it into a bucket, because this is who I am. I believe in science. Or this is who I am I a spiritual being, right, that's all the I am. So what if you couldn't put it into a bucket? What if it was a combination and a correlation of all things right from the science point of view? We have this confirmation bias in this reticular activating system in our brain. Therefore, when we go out and say we have a belief that we want something, or we focus on it in repetition, we'll go out and see it more often and we'll confirm that that belief is true, or we'll look for something that we want right, look for a confirmation.

07:36 Yeah, that's psychology, that's science. Right, that is the science and psychology of manifestation. And then there's this thing that like, okay, that is the science and psychology of manifestation. And then there's this thing that like, okay, yeah, what if there is this field of unlimited possibility? And what if emotion is energy and that, if I get into the emotion and belief that I already have this thing, will that bring it to me, and will this divine higher power allow it? It's not one or the other, it's both.

08:06 - Chase (Host) How do you for lack of a better term here convince somebody of that, because I feel like to go a little bit deeper here. I feel like most people are in one of those two trains of thought it's scientific, it is, or it isn't. It's been proven or disproven, or it's just like this thing that I choose to believe in or have faith in, and it's just out there. How do you really effectively persuade or just get somebody to just fall in line, so to speak of? It is both.

08:38 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, I don't think you need to persuade anyone, right? There are many things that we can't see that are happening. We can't see the energy around us, right? We can see 0.5 percent of all energy around us. We say that again we can see 0.5 percent, less than one percent of all the energy around us all right, please expand on that for me.

08:54 - Chase (Host) What do you mean?

08:55 - Jim (Guest) okay. So here here's an example. There are. There are new fighter jets that have enhanced radar and sonar that are seeing all these unidentified flying objects. There are night vision goggles that have green and they used to be red, but then they put them in green because the red was picking up energy of other things. There is energy all around us that we can't see, that bats can see and we can't. Dogs can see and we can't, animals that have higher sensory can see and we can't, and it's we can't. Animals that have higher sensory can see and we can't, and it's just the energy of life, because everything, even this table, consists of energy.

09:30 It's just slower moving energy and becomes mass matter so we call this a table, but this is nothing more than just atoms a bunch of atoms vibrating together in a compact way that allows us, yeah, to sit here yeah, and these lights, this is a much faster flowing energy, so okay, so there doesn't take much of a leap to know that there are things that we can't see, smell, taste or feel that are happening around us, and so it's potential that maybe there is something greater happening that we can't conceptualize, see, taste or feel.

10:01 - Chase (Host) Okay, you kind of liken this to someone can feel the sea breeze or feel the wind, but you can't see it. So is that kind of the same thing where you can feel you walk by a fireplace and you can feel that warmth and that heat, but you don't actually. You see the flame but you don't see heat, or even more of those?

10:19 - Jim (Guest) Sometimes you walk into a room or into a house and you're like, ooh, this is uncomfortable to be here, bad vibes.

10:25 - Chase (Host) Yeah, yeah.

10:26 - Jim (Guest) Or you walk in next to someone and you're like I just like this person, somehow I feel good around them, you know, like they make me feel calm, sure, and that is the, the extra sensory, the six, and getting into the sixth sense, the, the potential to feel something that you you can't put your finger on and see, and this is the idea that there's something more right, so you also can't see your subconscious mind, true, right?

10:54 - Chase (Host) Yeah, but it's working yeah.

10:56 - Jim (Guest) And you know it's working because the subconscious mind controls your autonomic nervous system, which is how you breathe, how you heal, how you regulate your temperature, how you look for things. We have so much information coming in through our eyes and senses and everything. We need something to collate it all and that is what's happening in our subconscious mind. It's the program. That's like filtering. So if we have a program that we can't see, it's filtering all things that we want. That when you buy, all of a sudden you you decide to get, um, what kind of car do you have?

11:29 - Chase (Host) uh, bmw x5.

11:30 - Jim (Guest) Okay, and so before you had a bmw x5, you probably wanted one. You look at, you start to see more of them on the street. Yeah, right now that you have one theory, right yeah yeah, and now that you have one, your reticulate activating system's like oh, bmw x5 there's, there's one. I like to do this test. It's like okay, look at a picture of a yellow Jeep, imagine you own the yellow Jeep and now notice how many awkwardly weird there's yellow Jeeps everywhere.

11:52 - Chase (Host) When you drive. So it's not a matter of it didn't exist until I thought about it. It's just now that I'm thinking about it. I'm seeing the existence that already is and was.

12:01 - Jim (Guest) Exactly right, so we're starting to bridge the gap. Okay, so here's another way to bridge the gap. How many products do you think are at Amazoncom? Oh my gosh all of them, okay, well, just to say how many products do you think you've purchased from Amazoncom.

12:14 - Chase (Host) Oh, my wife has an Amazon problem. I'll say thousands.

12:19 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, so you probably just, let's say, you purchased 10,000 products from Amazoncom. There are. I think the last time I looked there were 169 million products in Amazoncom. Oh my gosh, so you have so many products. You've thought that you purchased 10,000 products in your garage, your home. You wouldn't be able to move.

12:38 - Chase (Host) But there is that's a fraction, a fraction of what you're aware of man.

12:46 - Jim (Guest) There is a fraction, a fraction of what you're aware of, man. So all you have to do is start to conceptualize and to tell your subconscious mind about a product and it exists, it's already. Just say it's, we'll use the amazoncom thing. It's within the other 168 million 990 000 products. And now you're just like I'm gonna train myself.

13:03 Yeah one is I believe that it's there because I don't know everything. I believe that there is a potential to connect to this. I know that I have energy. I know that energy makes up everything. I know that it's there. I know that I have frequency and vibration. I can tell when something's good or bad just by stepping into a room or someone, so I know that there's something unseen going on. And then I know that I have this very real brain and mind that's collating everything, and so there's a potential to go from. I can set the program to go to Amazon to find that potential, to feel it, to connect to it and then to create it and believe that I have the identity that can have it. Now that just got very complicated so we can simplify.

13:49 - Chase (Host) No, I I love it and actually I'm thinking, you know, maybe this is where jeff bezos needs to get on board and create this, uh, the amazon manifestation theory there's something to it.

13:58 There's something to it, I believe it. Um, you know, I've heard manifestation described, I think, think, maybe even in a past interview I was listening to of yours as the art and practice of getting hyper specific about what you want in terms of what you want in your life and for your life, and then just letting it go Right. That seems like to say that out loud. It seems kind of like what, how, how or why should we focus on something so intently that we want for our life and is so meaningful to us to then just go okay, I release it.

14:33 - Jim (Guest) Well, you can't have what you can't call out right. It's you can't score a goal if you don't know where the goal is. So it's identifying exactly what you want very specifically, right, and. And then it's not that what you want very specifically, and then it's not that you release it completely. You can still have the desire for it, you can still take the actions. There's no manifestation without action. By the way, there needs to be a physical action. You have to take the action.

14:57 But it's to say that I release the need for how it shows up, meaning like I want a love in my life and I want this gorgeous, connected, beautiful, loving, passionate, like love, and I can picture that person and where they live and how they act and what we do. And then, okay, I am going to put this into the universe, I'm going to do the action steps. I'm going to actually go out and smile at some people and then I I'm going to allow it to come right. And then when someone comes and they have blonde hair instead of brown hair, and you're like not you. I had a picture of who you are and that's not you. That's. That's when you have to leave.

15:39 - Chase (Host) let up the attachment, okay for how and when it comes. So it's doing coupled equally with allowing, yes, interesting I've heard this allowing part before.

15:48 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, a lot. That's the idea of non-attachment, and non-attachment means that you don't want it, it means that you'll be fine without it.

15:58 - Chase (Host) Hey everyone. I got to take a break from my conversation with Jim to bring your attention to one of my favorite products and my favorite partners this year Z Biotics. Let's be honest, sometimes a few drinks turns into a few too many, and the next morning not so fun. That is where Z Biotics comes in. See, z Biotics is, in fact, the world's first genetically engineered probiotic that helps you feel better the day after drinking. It's not some sketchy gas station hangover cure, it's actually backed by science and it's something that I keep in my pantry, I keep in my travel bag, I keep in the car, I keep with me at all times. Even I put a couple in my wife's purse, because if I'm going to have a beer, a glass of wine, even just one drink with dinner at my age and just my performance level the next day that I'm aiming for. I don't want to feel sluggish, I don't want to feel tired, I don't want to feel like I had any alcohol. So I just drink Z-Biotics before I drink, and that's exactly what you're going to do. You drink Z-Biotics before alcohol and it helps your body break down the byproduct of alcohol that messes with you your next day. I love it. It is just so easy to use before a night out or even, just, like I said, with a glass of wine at dinner, and the next morning I wake up feeling like a human again no grogginess, no wasted day. It is so noticeable. In my opinion, the best part is you can try it yourself with 10% off. I'm just going to go to the special link I have for you down in the show notes under episode resources.

I forget the gentleman's name, but this clip I found online of really breaking down manifestation in terms of actually doing what you're talking about, and he describes how everything in our physical world was once a thought. You know, someone thought about building a device that can capture my sound, to record it, the microphone, or this table. And he goes, quote what if we reverse the thought word, deed, paradigm and start with the deed, the act, instead? So is manifestation really just reverse engineering reality? So, instead of going from thought to the tangible thing, we go to tangible thing and then build out the thought process necessary to get to that reality.

20:15 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, yeah, that's. That's a really great point and it's, it's simplified into this it's do have, be Okay. So if I do something, do have be Okay. So if I do something, I have it, and then I am it, and I want to change that paradigm. Exactly the way they're saying is, if I be it and then I do it, I have it Right Already, changed the be so that you already embody it, you are already at, you are already the thought right, as if it, it has manifest, and then you take the actions to have it, as opposed to I'll get there when I do it because you'll never get there. It's the, it's the paradigm shift of uh, to be, do have okay.

20:55 - Chase (Host) So then this brings me to this other I, this other idea around manifestation of like, like you just said, you know, I, I just I'm gonna be it, and so we kind of we tap into this state of of being, of our future self or our higher level self. But is it really just as easy as that? I feel like we're kind of just skipping some work, no, so my question around this is can we not properly manifest until our idea or belief around this thing that we're trying to change out or subtract into our life has developed a higher vibrational state? For example, I want to work on manifesting more financial abundance in my life. Now can I really do this just by starting to manifest this? If I still have a very strong limiting belief around my worth, my value, limiting, money mindset, can I just skip those steps or do I have to step into, like, this high vibrational state around those things so I can then actually manifest them?

21:54 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, I think that's a great point to make, because there is this idea of the law of assumption, and the law of assumption says we manifest what we believe to be true. Okay, so if I assume, like my mother said. Boy, my mother always said to me you have champagne taste in beer pockets.

22:14 - Chase (Host) Champagne life on a beer budget. Yeah, exactly right, I've heard that before. Yeah, I've been called that before.

22:19 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, so I was always like, oh boy, my taste. My belief was that you know like I will never be able to afford the life that I want, right? And then I realized, oh, that's an assumption that I have based on, just on a joke, a bullshit joke that my mother used to tell me Not even your belief, it was your mother's.

22:41 - Chase (Host) It was someone else.

22:42 - Jim (Guest) It was a program belief, right, your belief it was your mother's, it was someone else. It was a program belief, right, um, you know, I grew up in boston and kind of like having a bunch of money was not like almost we're very blue-collar working-class community and like the rich people were not good. So there was a belief there, that one you're a little bit, um, you know, batting above your britches or you're too good for yourself, if you if you made a lot of money, or if you wanted it right, or the rich people were over there, not us.

23:09 - Chase (Host) Too much money is bad. Rich people are bad yeah.

23:11 - Jim (Guest) And the second thing was oh, you're one that wants a champagne life, but you have beer pockets, which is like you can't afford it but you're batting for it. Having it's bad, wanting it is just as bad. Yeah, absolutely yeah, and that and and, by the way, you won't have it because you have beer pockets. And so I said, oh, those are the assumptions that are and building my idea of wealth and that's why I've always I've made. At this point, when I'm realizing this, I realized, oh, at this time I had helped three companies go public or sold and like an equity value of like a billion dollars, and I still wasn't making that much money.

23:51 - Chase (Host) I was like oh, so what is my assumption?

23:55 - Jim (Guest) here, like what you know, that I am capable of helping people because I have this, but of receiving. Why am I not receiving more?

24:04 - Chase (Host) You're capable of doing the work necessary to generate this and for it to exist, but not for you.

24:10 - Jim (Guest) Right. My assumption that was blocking me to making extreme wealth was, you know, like not for me. I'm a, I'm an executor, not a receiver, and that came from all the programming right. So I had to unravel that and when I did, money flowed in so dramatically, so powerfully, like there's things that I would do that it would just bring. I never had to worry about it again, but I had to remove the assumption that I couldn't make the money.

24:38 - Chase (Host) I had to upgrade my identity to someone that brings in massive amounts of wealth okay, walk us through this, you know, if you are willing to share, like, what did you actually do, what did you actually do and what did you actually think? One to kind of like come to terms with this assumption, because I think that's the real starting point for people is the understanding that you have this block and then coming to terms with it, that like it actually exists, and then re renegotiating this relationship with it so you can then create a better one with it, that like it actually exists, and then re renegotiating this relationship with it so you can then create a better one with it and, yeah, expand because of it.

25:09 - Jim (Guest) really, yeah, the first part right is that we're in a cage. It's a it's a cage that we can't see and we are stuck within this cage of our constructed beliefs and assumptions. And these beliefs and assumptions, these programs have done a lot for us. They've allowed us to be successful in so many areas. They've allowed us to survive, they've allowed us to stay safe, but we don't see them anymore. They've been built and now we're just running the program. We think that we're like living our lives, but consciously it's only 5% of our decision-making.

25:44 - Chase (Host) So this is the part where people talk about where we're living in a real life matrix.

25:47 - Jim (Guest) Exactly Right You're. We're living in our subconscious mind the 95%. So we're living in this cage, and so we need to realize that we're in the cage, that we're in the matrix. And so how do we do that? First, we build awareness about what are the things in the stories that we're telling. Most you have a couple stories in your life that I know you've told over and over again. Are you still telling the story of your father that he was such a jerk like? Are you still telling the story of the girl that broke your heart? Are you still telling the story of x, y and z like? What are those stories?

26:15 And then we'll do a number of exercises that very like really put your beliefs in your face, um, that really show you what do you truly believe, what's the operating system say? And it gets very uncomfortable, sure, and then when we realize what that true belief is, we say, okay, now let's look at the goal. Are we specific about what the goal that we want to manifest is? Okay, does this belief, will this belief ever allow us to manifest with this goal? No, and so what belief do we need? Okay, we need a belief that is more empowering, that will allow us to manifest with the goal.

26:54 Okay, so now, how do we program in that belief? Well, we need to go in and change the emotional relationship with it, and we can do that through hypnosis really, really effectively. We can do that through energy work, somatic practices like EFT tapping. But it's a system. So we first comes awareness, then comes recognition and then change, and then reprogramming what we want consciously and putting together a plan that allows us to get there with the belief that we can, then supporting that with affirmations, but also lofty questions which get into NLP programming, embedded commands through NLP, and so it's a little bit of a system, but it's. It's really powerful.

27:37 - Chase (Host) To really kind of dumb that down. I'm hearing a lot of correct me if I'm wrong. If then, if then. So it makes me think is manifestation really nothing more than just a very specific formula that not all of us have figured out, or is it a totally different state of being that we have to step into and practice daily?

27:57 - Jim (Guest) Yeah Well, it is a formula that you step into and practice daily. Okay.

28:03 - Chase (Host) So everything's a formula. Yeah, everything's a formula, yeah, everything's a formula.

28:05 - Jim (Guest) So I don't believe that it's just magic. Where you like, think about am I going to? You know, I want this love in my life and then you open your eyes and it appears. I think that's part of it. You have to think it, feel it, allow it. But the formula is this Recognize the old past beliefs. One. Two. Start Formula is this recognize the old past beliefs. One, to start to reframe those beliefs and reprogram. Three, start to take the action to get them for. Feel what it would feel like before it had be, before the, before the have. Feel what it would feel like as if you have become it before. You have it repeat every day.

28:40 - Chase (Host) I love that. I love that he came prepared. Everybody that's a great great formula. I love that. I love that he came prepared. Everybody that's a great great formula. I want to jump into something that was just an incredible joy to watch. You had this TED talk a few years ago called the Cosmic Algorithm really learning how to decipher the signs of the universe. Walk us through this concept and how can we really really understand. You know, I think this is the formula part. We're talking about understand and apply this cosmic algorithm to our everyday life.

29:10 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, we have to start to see. Okay, so Carl Jung. If your listeners are not familiar with Carl Jung, do some Googling.

29:19 - Chase (Host) Yeah.

29:19 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, so he talked about synchronicities. So he talked about synchronicities and these were seemingly unrelated events that happened out of nowhere. That would cue that you're on the right path and a lot of people would say well, I know that I'm coming into wealth when I just started walking around and everywhere I went I'd find a dollar bill or a penny or a nickel. I knew I was supposed to be there when I drove up and there was a parking space and I just walked in on time. It was so effortless.

29:46 - Chase (Host) It's meant to be. Yes, it's meant to be.

29:48 - Jim (Guest) Totally meant to be. So we started to see that with the cosmic algorithm, you can start to see whether you're in alignment with what you want, because it's not to say you don't have obstacles, but things just start to flow a little bit easier. It becomes a little bit easier and you start to say, okay, am I in alignment with what I want? There's very few things that I control. I can control myself. This is where stoicism comes in. I can control myself and with that control of my own self-mastery, I can direct my attention and my emotions towards a goal and then, when I do, I can get into alignment with the feeling of what it would feel like when I was achieving and therefore things just start happening easier. Call, young said, synchronicities. Other people you know started to say they were different things. But you know, you start to notice that there is a flow, this flow state that you become in and you're like, okay, I'm on the right path if the recognition of these things is us stepping into the right path, the flow of the cosmic algorithm here.

30:59 - Chase (Host) If we are feeling stuck, if we're feeling like nothing goes our way, we never get the front row parking spot. You know all of our plans fall apart, you know, or checks bounce all these things. You know we're trying to manifest wealth, abundance, relationships, opportunity and we just feel stuck or feel blocked. Does that mean kind of like the opposite side of the coin? Does that mean that we are not acting accordingly, we are not in the flow of life and we just need to like, look at these small examples to change? Or is it something else going on here?

31:27 - Jim (Guest) Two questions to ask yourself. One is this redirecting me towards something better? Right, because is this? Is this a sign that I need to go in a different direction? Okay. And two, the question to ask is you know, should I persist? Meaning, is this nothing's easy, right? So the first question is should I persist? Does this just mean that I need to work harder, overcome a past belief or fear or something like that, because I'm feeling I'm going to fail and nothing's easy, I need to keep going, or is this a sign that I need to take a different direction? Now people may say, oh, like I could. I could circle with that wheel like all day long.

32:11 - Chase (Host) How do I know?

32:12 - Jim (Guest) and the question is then you take it out of your conscious critical mind and you start to think about how does this feel in my body, despite the fear that is conscious like, and the ego, the issues, all the stuff that fear brings up, not good enough when all the things and just say, okay, when I'm doing this thing or with this person or in this relationship, um, do I feel a sense of, like, excitement or anxiety? Do I feel tight or loose, like, get into your body and see what's coming up for you and your stomach and your chest and just your everyday stuff, and that is. You know, people stay in their mind a little too much and let your body direct you, because your body and your energy around it is actually the subconscious mind.

32:59 - Chase (Host) Truly. I mean it's a lean on your reference there for stoicism. I think it was Seneca that said we suffer far more in our imaginations than in reality. So I mean there's a another great example there. I want to go, I want to lean into kind of when we feel in flow but yet it doesn't work out, and what I mean by this I'll share a little personal story last year was expanding the business and, uh, I was doing things in another state and like everything was just falling into place.

33:30 I was getting signed like names of people I was meeting and like where I was staying, being in direct line of sight of this new location, and just everything just seemed like this opportunity, opportunity, opportunity, and I won't say it, just like I stood back and did nothing, but like the work that I was doing seemed to be very well met by the universe and these other people Fast forward. At the end of it all, it completely fell apart. So what do we do then? If we're acting with what we feel is in accordance with the flow of life, maybe it's things we even manifested and we're like, okay, yes, here it is, here's my opportunity, here's my abundance, here's everything, but then it just falls apart yeah.

34:09 - Jim (Guest) What do we do then, yeah?

34:11 well, we look at the lesson of it right and we release attachment to it because it's only wrong it's only wrong if, if your expectations of it like I'm willing to bet that that that business, if it didn't fall apart, maybe it would have made less money, maybe it would have been a money suck, maybe it would have been a drain on your time and energy. So maybe you learned a lot from those steps that you would do differently, absolutely. I know for sure that there was a learning there that could direct you in the future. And so when we give up attachment, we're like, okay, this didn't work out. It was never a failure, because I've learned something, I got something from it and that's where you go with that. So, not all things that seem easy until our last right, but they all giving us something in our experience.

35:04 - Chase (Host) So then, manifestation could be not this art and practice of everything you've been talking about, so that we then have. But it's just arriving to a lesson.

35:19 - Jim (Guest) Well, hopefully they're. You know, sometimes the lessons are easier. So in my life the lessons were hard and now the lessons are getting easier. So hopefully your lessons are getting easier. So hopefully your lessons are getting easier. But I think manifestation is a becoming right. You're becoming the person so that can have what you want, right, it's, it's a becoming, and so, as it's not necessarily so, we've been talking about manifestation very much and we're putting it out here. Right, and what what I believe manifestation is is the b, as we manifest the identity and the person that we can be to have the things that we want. It's very much a becoming I like that.

35:58 - Chase (Host) I like that a lot, um. So I had a question actually specifically around that, but I think we kind of tapped on it. But I'll ask you directly to see if there's anything left hanging here. Okay, if, if we try to manifest something more money, a perfect partner, a dream house, et cetera and it doesn't happen, are we doing it wrong or is it just not meant for us?

36:20 - Jim (Guest) Well, that's a good question, right? Because if it doesn't happen to the way that we expect it to, it would be attachment. So I guess, if I'm trying to manifest money, I know that I have some money and am I grateful for the money that I have? So I already have money, so it's happened, even if it's, I don't care if it's $100, right, we may be shaming that money because we want more of it so that we can afford greater rent or whatever it is.

36:49 - Chase (Host) We're already saying that what we have isn't enough, Right right.

36:53 - Jim (Guest) So there's these wonderful stories of homeless people that someone goes up to a homeless person and they're like can I have a dollar and the first one to pull it out or share the food that they have? Right, and it's almost like when you have so little, it's easier to give, but you would think that you'd be in more scarcity then. So all these videos on Instagram that you see in these documentaries of people that have really homeless, really struggling, are willing to understand and see the pain that you're in and give you some money. Yet when we have more, we start to get worried about losing it, we get less grateful for it and therefore we become more scarce with it. And so if we say I want a million dollars and we only get 200 000, or if I want two thousand dollars, I only get 200, then we say it failed, yeah.

37:41 So the first thing is release the attachment to it, because it probably worked out in one way or another, and two, with that love of your life, you know, perhaps you should focus on the love for yourself first and then write down everything that you want in a partner and just go out and become that first, and you'll attract it.

38:01 - Chase (Host) Let's talk about that for a little bit. There's a lot of a lot of podcasts out there, a lot of content, a lot of everything around manifestation and love, and I think, besides abundance and financial abundance, that's really what people are looking for most is love in their life, and they're really gravitating towards. How do I manifest love in my life? Am I hearing you correctly in saying that we need to first manifest love for ourself or develop love for ourself before we can ever be hopeful that manifesting love for in terms of like a partner is going to become a reality?

38:35 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, yes. If you hate yourself, you're going to attract other people that will treat you as you project. But I have hundreds of thousands of people coming to me for this.

38:46 - Chase (Host) Literally.

38:47 - Jim (Guest) And it's not that they can't manifest love, meaning like they've all broken up from the narcissist or like they've had relationships. They don't manifest the love that they want. Right, so we can get into a relationship, but we're not getting into the relationship we want, and why? And some people they've been alone for many years or they're you know. I got this one woman who wrote in and said how do I find love at 42?

39:13 - Chase (Host) yeah, I actually had that down. I wanted to reference that because that was one of one of your most viewed videos on social media. Um, how do I find love at 42? And you kind of went into like finding love at any age?

39:23 - Jim (Guest) it's the same way no, it's like what really comes up at that person finding love before you already see all their beliefs I'm too old for love, I'm not lovable, I'm a woman and therefore at 42 forget it, there's a 25 year old that's going to steal my love. So the way that you manifest love at 42 is first realizing like, oh at, you're this divine woman. You have both experience and knowledge and the ability to like, go out and be loved. So, like, how don't you find love at 42? By asking that question. That's how.

39:59 - Chase (Host) Hey, you guys enjoying my conversation with Jim, or what. This was one that I stopped and just could not wait to get him scheduled. We look forward to having Jim back on the show soon, but in the meantime, help me in pays and bills. Over here I want to shine a light on some of our proud partners that helps keep production going and delivers amazing content to you right here.

40:28 Well, I personally have been using mouth tape at night for almost two years and, hands down, it was one of the most immediate noticeable benefits in my sleep.

So I woke up, felt restored, I felt like I got a great night's sleep and I was even more energized and ready to start the day.

It seems like I'm hearing maybe it's just nuances, but I'm hearing specificity in what we ask for really kind of shows us what is holding us back and also next steps to manifest it properly. So is that really what? Again, a part of the formula here is, you know, this example of how do I find love at 42? I think it's the at 42 part, that little specific that is kind of the telltale sign of where she's getting already stuck and how to then take action on that accordingly. So is it all really in the question, the specifics?

44:21 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, it really is, because it starts. That's where the awareness comes in, right. She probably wasn't aware of that Right and it starts.

44:27 - Chase (Host) That's where the awareness comes in right. Okay, she probably wasn't aware of that right, and so the other. She would have just asked how do I find love? How do I find?

44:31 - Jim (Guest) love, right? What she wasn't aware of is that she's shaming herself for being a certain age where she thinks that she'll never find love. So the the question that starts to come is like, okay, we'll go back to it, right? What is the I am you believe in that woman's mind mind at 42, I am old, I am not lovable. So you have to go back and see what the truth is. And the truth is that that belief doesn't exist anywhere in your body. I cut you open. There is I am old and not lovable. Oh, wow, yeah.

45:00 And so if that truth doesn't believe. Where is it? It's out here, in our belief system, which was manufactured and programmed, and therefore it's not real. And so, if it's not real, it's not true. What is true? Well, the truth is that you can create any belief you want. You might as well make it a powerful one, that you are lovable, innately worthy and incredibly powerful. Just look at your fingers. That fingernail goes into a cuticle, into a bone, and it's covered by skin that, if you cut it, it will regenerate. You are divine in your own essence and isn't something like that, incredibly precious and lovable?

45:37 - Chase (Host) I think that's a powerful concept I'm taking in right now and for my audience. You know, my skin is real. I can touch this. I can touch my elbow, my body, my chest, my shoulders, like that is real. I can touch this. I can touch my elbow, my body, my chest, my shoulders Like that is real.

45:49 I can't go to anywhere in my body and go oh, you're nothing. Oh, you'll never amount to anything. Oh, you'll never be a millionaire. Oh, you'll never have a perfect partner. You never get the house that you want Like that. That doesn't exist anywhere on our physical, tangible self. It's just something that consciously, subconsciously, we have allowed or chosen to just hitch a ride in the back of our mind. And until we bring awareness to these things like we can, we can finally like keep the ones on board we want, or just like get rid of all these stowaways you know, just like get out, get out, yep 100. So then it makes me think about ways that we are blocking our own manifestations. Are we blocking what we want in our life? How do we recognize where our blockages are to our manifestations and how do we unblock them?

46:43 - Jim (Guest) we're blocking our assumptions and beliefs, block our manifestations, what we believe to be true, like we said before, who we believe we are, I am. So this is how we block with the spell I am when we say I am not good enough. I all those things that we say I am, even the other things, like I'm a meat and potatoes type of guy or whatever those sayings are. I'm simple, I'm easy.

47:07 Yeah sayings are I'm simple, I'm easy. Yeah, I mean yeah, like all those things. It's like you're casting a spell. That I am is creation. It goes right into your identity. I am this, I am a smoker. I am not a smoker. You know, one of the easiest way in hypnosis to get people to stop smoking is to get them under hypnosis in a trance state to start to say over and over again I'm not a smoker really that's it, yeah, and then you associate smoke.

47:25 you associate smoke with the most disgusting things and then you get them to associate I am not that disgusting thing. You just go right into their identity. Smoking becomes an identity that you're not a smoker.

47:34 You're no longer a smoker. So that's the first part. So how do you bring awareness to that? One is just starting to recognize and write down the words that you say, starting to be totally aware of the things that you're saying and changing it, just that simple changing it and then using trance states states when your brain goes into theta before bed and when you wake up in the morning to do your journaling about what you want to become and to ask your mind, your subconscious mind, the energy around you, to deliver it in a way that says help me figure this out, ask a question. So that that's all your subconscious mind wants to do is answer the question in a way that will help you survive. So if you ask it in a really positive way, you will set a program task to go out and complete.

48:29 - Chase (Host) I love this aspect you just brought up about asking for help, asking for help in the areas that we want our life to be better or things to release. I think that's a really good catch for somebody, because I think when we go, I'm looking for an answer. Well, if we had the answer, we wouldn't be looking for it. If we, if we knew how to have more financial abundance in our life, if we knew how to attract the right partner in our life, we would, we would have it, we would do it. But if we shift our perspective and this is huge if we shift our perspective to just, you know, developing the proper question or questions around it, like that sparks curiosity, that sparks intrigue, that sparks a totally different way of going about life, because we have questions and we go looking for the answers. But if we stay stuck and trying to find just the answer, like we're probably going to miss it, right.

49:18 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, yeah. I think that sums it up perfectly.

49:22 - Chase (Host) You, actually you bring up this, this timing aspect of manifestation that I wanted to get to and I found, um this clip from actually a former guest of the show, dr tara swart. Um an md and phd. Are familiar with her? Um this, uh, british md and phd who really went the whole medical world of you know, like science and health care, and then she began to kind of just have these experiences that tapped into the other, so to speak. It's an incredible episode. I'll link it down in the show notes for everybody. But she talks about this aspect of the Tetris effect. Are you familiar with that?

49:54 - Jim (Guest) I've heard of it, but I couldn't explain it.

49:56 - Chase (Host) It goes into kind of the timing aspect you were talking about, of, you know, morning and evening. She talks about how one of the best ways to really, you know, lean into manifestation and to kind of rewrite our subconscious there's a timing aspect to it and it's around. The last thing that you look at at night imprints more strongly on your subconscious than anything you do during the day, where our subconscious this is. This is where our subconscious is very susceptible to suggestion, the power of suggestion. So, then, is the best time to manifest what we want right before we go to sleep, so that we can sway our subconscious more. That's what people say.

50:33 - Jim (Guest) That's so and the science of this is that when our brain goes into a theta state, you know we have beta, alpha, delta, theta right when our brain goes into a theta state, that's when we're most suggestible. And we go into a theta state when, right before bed, when we're going to uh relaxing and like settling down and going to sleep, and then right when we wake up we're still in a little bit of a theta state, but we go into a theta state quite often. We go into a theta state when. That's why advertising and instagram works so well, because with the bright lights and scroll of instagram you immediately go into a theta state. You go into a theta state. You go into a theta state when you are driving on a highway a long distance without traffic.

51:12 - Chase (Host) You kind of just zone out. How did I get here? Five miles down the road and you're like, oh, I missed my exit.

51:17 - Jim (Guest) I was thinking in my theta state. A theta state is hypnosis itself. We go into hypnosis really naturally without someone putting us into hypnosis really naturally, you know, without someone like putting us into hypnosis. So she simplified it into. But you can consciously put yourself into a state of suggestibility through trance states. So does it have to be before you go to bed? Yes, if you're not being conscious about, if you just want to write your questions right before you go to bed, it's a really powerful time about. If you just want to write your questions right before you go to bed, it's a really powerful time. If you want to be really intentional about it, you can put yourself into a self-hypnosis, a state of conscious hyper-awareness, in a theta state, so you can focus on what you want.

52:03 - Chase (Host) Now how do we do that, Besides kind of just tapping into? It sounds like the natural times of the day when we're you can do this at any time of the day, so how?

52:12 - Jim (Guest) so this kind of puts what she set up on its head a little bit, because it's okay, in the morning and at night is unintentional times in which we go into a high suggestible state of theta. And I'm saying you can, at any time of the day, go into a high suggestible state of theta through self-hypnosis and what that is is focusing on your breathing and closing your eyes, focusing on your breathing, focusing on your body, and then allowing yourself to just do a simple script that I can teach you. That will count you down into a theta state.

52:48 - Chase (Host) Please, yeah, yeah, script away yeah.

52:50 - Jim (Guest) And then you can start to give your mind intentions.

52:55 - Chase (Host) Yeah, Would you be willing to share? Yeah?

52:58 - Jim (Guest) sure.

52:58 - Chase (Host) They'll walk us through, so someone can practice this.

53:00 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, sure, so you can practice it yourself by this. So we'll both do it. We'll close our eyes and you take a really deep breath in and hold it and then release it out your mouth. And take a deep breath in and hold it and release it, and release it. And now, as you sit here, just activate the voice in your head. Allow the voice in your head, the higher voice that can tell you what to do, that can, when you have a negative thought that says, oh, stop that.

53:49 And as you activate that voice in your head, allow that voice to talk and just direct that voice, as the higher voiceness Direct it, to tell you to focus on your fingertips. And as you focus, allow yourself to be directed to focus on your left hand and your fingertips on your left hand. And as you focus on the fingertips on the left hand, they may start to tingle. And as you focus on the fingertips now on the right hand, direct yourself to notice if they start to tingle. And as you notice your hands and fingertips tingling, you may feel a little bit heavier. Start to notice the heaviness of your body against the chair or couch you're in. Then notice your feet. Notice if your right foot is heavier than your left foot or if your left foot is the right foot, that's heaviness, heaviest.

54:54 And give yourself permission just to simply imagine, see or visualize that you're walking, walking down a hallway of a beautiful house and as you walk down the hallway of a beautiful house, and as you walk down the hallway of a beautiful house, just allowing your shoulders to relax and moving your body in a way that relaxes all your muscles, as you walk down this hallway, you come to a flight of stairs, the most beautiful, safe, gorgeous flight of stairs, and you can just step down those stairs, one step at a time, starting from 10, 9, 8, 7, even deeper now, 6, deeper, into relaxation 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

55:51 Relaxation Five, four, three, two, one. And here down, here, you can just simply release and relax, opening your mind, opening your mind to all the potential that there is, allowing you to now visualize or see what you want, to ask questions about how you'll have it, ask to be directed, to focus your mind on achieving that goal, to see the signs, take the steps Down here you can simply become even heavier, perhaps walk through the woods and realize you're connected to all the nature, all the trees, all the energy of the leaves, the sun shining and warm on your face Even more now. With every breath, you can notice your body directed to go a little bit deeper In here you realize that you can have whatever you want and that you truly are connected, expressing those positive affirmations here and now I am good enough, I am divine, I am lovable.

57:24 And as we sit down here for a while, just realizing the true nature of things, love and connection, and starting to come back, you can just simply start to walk up those stairs again, start to feel your body again, the room around you, stepping up the stairs now one, two, three, two, three, four and five, all the way back up and eyes awake and open yeah, see different.

58:01 - Chase (Host) I had a really unique experience with that.

58:04 - Jim (Guest) Yeah.

58:04 - Chase (Host) Now I want to share but also get your insight. What happened for me was this unique visualization exercise. We were walking us, walking me and us through here, which has been a big part of what we've been talking about is kind of stepping into creating and really believing and being this reality of a, of a self that is more abundant, has more opportunity, has the job, the relationship. But I also think it's equally important to be able to bridge that and to make it more tangible, maybe to even expedite the manifestation process is to act, to take these actions along the way. What I mean specifically was the hallway I was walking down and the stairs I was going up and down was actually in this. What I'll say is my dream house, like an actual house, that I've been in, this house that's, you know on the market that that that I've been in, I've been a part of it, I I'm just, I'm in love with it. I and it would be, if you know, if I had the money it's, it's a big, big, big house. If I had the money, I would, I would definitely snag it up and it was way more of a reality for me, even though we were just walking me through this, for lack of a better term, this just made up world.

59:18 What I'm trying to say is, I guess, along the way of manifestation, you know we have to do these things. There's this formula, there's this, this mindset, there's this visualization. But if we don't take even just small actions of putting ourselves into the environments of the things we're trying to manifest, of, like, I want to manifest this dream house, well, are you going to look at your dream house? Are you going to put yourself into this, this higher level space? Are you manifesting this dream job? Are you actually putting yourself into the area of where these other professionals and business people are, you know, in that same workspace? Yeah, are you trying to manifest this dream partner? Are you putting yourself into the areas, places, things, where that type of person acts goes to get coffee? You know, are you making your future self, future life, a reality at all along the way?

01:00:08 - Jim (Guest) absolutely so. First I want to just say, um, I want to change for you, if I had the money, to where it's money going to come from all right.

01:00:16 - Chase (Host) Yes, thank you right.

01:00:17 - Jim (Guest) It's just a simple thing, because now it's like, okay, I can go out and find that money, as opposed to scarcity of like I don't have.

01:00:22 - Chase (Host) Oh, trust me, ever since I found this house, I've been looking. Yeah, I've been working harder, working harder. I want that house. I love it.

01:00:29 - Jim (Guest) All right, then it could be yours. And then the next part absolutely Right. So an action step, okay. So now I've discovered I have some limiting beliefs. Right, I'm going to reframe those limiting beliefs. I'm going to get really clear on what I want. I'm going to do some self-hypnosis to get myself into a flow state, to ask questions, to feel it, to become it, to be attuned with it. And now I'm going to take action in the practical, real, human world. I'm going to take action and that could be right. I'm going to, you know, I'm going to explore different financing options. I am going to go out into um a friend's house and ask her to bring some single men or single women, I don't care what it is. I'm going to smile at the coffee shop and a little bit more. I'm, you know, I'm going to ask um someone for creative financing, or you know, like, yes, maybe someone wants to partner on that house.

01:01:26 - Chase (Host) I'm going to ask you listening, watching, to make sure you subscribe to the podcast so that I can have this dream house for my family.

01:01:32 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, yeah, yeah, subscribe and listen.

01:01:37 - Chase (Host) That was really enjoyable, Really enjoyable Good. I'm going to take a quick glance and the rest of my question. This has been so, so great. Is there anything maybe I I have touched on that you would like to revisit or go deeper on? Is there anything you feel like in the world of manifestation that we've overlooked? That is super important for someone to grab hold of here today?

01:02:01 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, I think that, just to make this kind of practical and tangible right, there are a lot of folks that say say what you want, feel the energy of it and do that Right. And so I add into that first identify your programming. That may be holding you back. It's the law of assumption. Go into that programming using trance states like meditation, transcendental meditation, hypnosis, NLP I don't care who it is or what it is and start to reframe that using affirmations, lofty questions, all those things. Set a really incredible, tangible, specific goal and then feel it and take inspired, emotion-filled action towards it. And then when you get caught right, when you get caught of like the fear and the shame or the like the negative parts, you know don't feel like you've done it wrong because people all about like oh god, I had a bad thought again.

01:02:56 Well, I knew this wasn't real, I knew this couldn't work yeah, I failed and it's like no give up attachment when you're not doing it wrong. This is the school of life. It's not easy, it's a earth.

01:03:06 - Chase (Host) School is difficult and you're doing it exactly right what other, if any, altered states of consciousness do you feel are important or at least hold value for someone to look into to help amplify their manifestation?

01:03:27 - Jim (Guest) I think I think psychedelics and plant medicine are really interesting. Um, I think they're really interesting. I you know what. I you know ibogaine is like, uh, like there's a place in mexico called beyond that friends and family have gone and have had such profound transformations using ibogaine. I think psilocybin, I think, um, dmt, all that stuff right I have a ketamine therapy session this afternoon actually.

01:03:54 Yeah, I've done six of the ketamine infusions in doctors offices, um. So I think those are really powerful ways to go within and to start to reframe and to relieve all those things. Really super powerful Ayahuasca. The thing that I start to get worried about is a little bit of the bypassing yeah, spiritual bypassing.

01:04:15 - Chase (Host) Yeah.

01:04:15 - Jim (Guest) Or like the life bypassing.

01:04:19 - Chase (Host) Expand on that for us please. What do you mean by that?

01:04:20 - Jim (Guest) There's some work to do, right, and your 12th ayahuasca journey is not going to get you there. Right and and and your 12th ayahuasca journey is is not going to get you there. Right, I don't. You don't need to be like getting your ketamine pad on Saturday night when everybody's drinking and be like oh, I'm California sober, I'm just going to get my ketamine.

01:04:40 - Chase (Host) But what about? You know, I'm actually I'm glad that you you know you brought that up, yeah, and you know I'll say went there Personally speaking. That kind of my terminology here deep end, altered ways of just getting you to think differently and see the world and you completely differently so that you can tap into these higher levels of being. Um, but also, what about somebody maybe who's not ready for that or don't have access to that? You mentioned earlier things like, you know, breath, work, uh, maybe even meditation, or are these other forms, other states of consciousness, consciousness that can help our manifestation practice?

01:05:30 - Jim (Guest) yeah, I mean both hypnotic meditation, which you can just go on calm app or spotify, even youtube I have a couple that you can just do will get you to that place. Um for sure, breath work, holotrophic breath work, will get you to that place, even like extreme changes in body temperature, for like cold and hot sauna, like yeah, yeah, like cold plunge in the sauna. There's many ways to do it without, without hallucinogenics yeah yeah, so.

01:06:00 - Chase (Host) So if if you're not ready to like, jump in there, these are ways that you can really get there, naturally that kind of brings up another question for me around uh, the craze right now, the last couple years, in like the wellness space, at least my world, health, wellness, human optimization, biohacking, if you will, yeah is these you know, contrast therapies, cold plunging ice baths, ir sauna, dry sauna, contrast therapy, going back and forth and look, let's be honest, that shit can make you feel some kind of way. You know it can have you, you know, feeling quite literally really differently about yourself, in a more energetic, vibrant way, thinking differently, just because you're shocking your system, resetting your nervous system. You know, getting hormones to dance in a different way depending on when you do it and how long you do it. So my question here is, let's say, I'm not on the path to manifestation, I'm not on the path of the things we've been talking about, whether I'm just not there yet or I don't believe in it, but I'm doing these other things more.

01:06:58 Like the physical change self, yeah, but I'm beginning to notice, you know what, after a week, a month, six months, a year, I feel like a different person, like beyond the physical self, like I'm thinking differently. I'm feeling more in flow with, like, the universe or just thinking objectively, reflecting back on a conversation. I'm looking back and go, oh yeah, like ever since I started doing these things, changing my physical state of being, like oh, that's a weird coincidence, oh, that's a coincidence, oh, that's an opportunity. Like, oh, that's a weird coincidence, oh, that's a coincidence, oh, that's an opportunity. Yeah, I guess my the question here is can we get to a state of manifestation just first and only by our physical state?

01:07:35 - Jim (Guest) yeah, I mean. I mean you've all heard of tony robbins yeah and tony's like change your state, change your life.

01:07:43 So literally he, everything that t Tony does is neuro-linguistic programming and hypnosis, but he does it and says like, first you change your body and get that feeling right. First you start to go to the gym and you stick with it and before you decide like perhaps this is too hard and I'm not good enough to have a great body, you stick with it right. First you believe and move your body and change it. The contrast therapies Start with your body. That you believe and move your body and change it. The contrast therapies start with your body. You know that is a great way and, yeah, he is the ultimate master in this stuff. So if anybody is interested in those, those points you just brought up, it's like tony is the man when it comes to, like, changing state yeah to have exactly what you want.

01:08:22 - Chase (Host) That's true you hear that all my coal plungers and sauna goers out there. If you're contrast therapy coal plunging, then you know you're manifesting. Yes, you're on your way to it.

01:08:32 - Jim (Guest) One hundred percent.

01:08:33 - Chase (Host) Yeah, kind of getting towards the end here I want to highlight a piece of your work. This video I saw on your Instagram that just has almost four million views now. You were talking about the four ways to know if you're living in a high vibrational state, and I think tapping into this higher vibrational state is quintessential for us to move forward in any manifestation practice. Um, walk us through that, please. What are these four areas and how can anyone access them?

01:09:01 - Jim (Guest) yeah, this is an easy way to say that like, are you in alignment? Meaning, are you in alignment within yourself? Right, because when you're in alignment you're in flow and you start to notice that, if you're in alignment and you're in flow, when you know, like you find that you find you're walking by a baby and that baby is just kind of looking and smiling at you. You know strangers come up to you and say hello. You're easily talking to people. People are asking your advice.

01:09:26 Um, you know these pets and, like you know you want to play with the dogs not everybody's a pet, but like these dogs are coming up and playing with you, even like in nature, you feel like you're calling these people in, uh, or these pets and these animals in. So you know that you're kind of like in a high vibrational frequency when these things are happening. So the the question is you know how do you get there and how do you stay there? And that is by really finding and looking within yourself those things that make you happy and passionate and flow and focusing there as to a set of focusing on the outcomes that you don't want or the pain. So, look for what you have instead of what's missing. Look for the outcome that you want instead of the one that you don't want. Focus on what you have instead of what you don't have. You know, those are the ways.

01:10:15 - Chase (Host) Yeah, it reminds me of this quote. I want to kind of end on here before I ask my final question. It really just comes down to the power we realize we are giving to our thoughts, or the power that we have because of our thoughts, even if we don't realize it. Um, you know, even kind of getting into the world a little bit of affirmations, you know kind of saying, believing, thinking these things that we want to be true for ourself, um, you have you seen a lot of these clips from jim carrey? You know he actually he'll surprise you, I think you, you think of him as just oh, he's one of the leaders in the conscious awareness Right.

01:10:49 This wild, wacky, amazing, huge, larger-than-life character actor. But, man, have you ever listened to him talk about manifestation, affirmations, belief? I mean, he is so tuned in which, in my opinion, kind of makes sense as to the level of acting that he can get into, because he can clearly just like, think, any state of being and he can tap into that. Yeah, so there's this video, this clip I found, about how jim carrey speaks a lot about the power of belief in manifesting and he said, quote I believe we are creators. We create with every word and every thought and every moment is pregnant with the next moment of your life. What's your take on that?

01:11:26 - Jim (Guest) yeah, that's very much in line with I am that. I am that we are not only the ocean, we are the wave. We are the wave is the ocean as well. We are the drop of water, we are the ocean in the drop of water.

01:11:41 Yeah, yeah, so that could blow your mind if you think about about too strong, but like there is, you know, there is no separateness, there is oneness and for every thought and feeling and belief we're just creating in this frequency I'm smiling because I had a uh, one of my past ketamine therapy sessions.

01:12:03 - Chase (Host) It was nothing but that, the entire like 45 minutes of. I was a drop of water in a river, I was the water droplet, I was the river, river, water, water, river. Just a tiny little molecule until like this great force.

01:12:17 - Jim (Guest) Yeah, it's your innate knowing telling you something. That's your innate wisdom that says like guess what? Yeah, yeah, you are not separate. I in my last ketamine session is are you doing intravenous?

01:12:34 - Chase (Host) Uh, I am. Are they shot Intramuscular or or a lozenge? If it's at home, it's just the type of lozenge I would do this intravenous it was like years ago when it was first starting, and they were like putting I was mooing most of the time but at one point I was flying through my mind, like flying through geometric shapes in my mind, and it was endless.

01:12:55 - Jim (Guest) It was I, I was in, with my eyes closed in the vastness of my own mind, and I had the realization of, oh, this is infinite, yeah, the potential and vastness of our own minds, yeah, infinite, yeah. So that was kind of a mind blowing experience for me.

01:13:16 - Chase (Host) It's a trip pun intended, but this has been incredible. I really enjoyed sitting down with you and kind of tapping more into manifestation and the power of our thoughts and beliefs. Kind of tapping more into manifestation and the power of our thoughts and beliefs. It's something that I haven't really gotten into a lot on the show here and there, but becoming more and more curious about it. So thank you for giving me your time and sharing your expertise with my audience. So all of this is meant to help me. I learned from all of my guests and my audience to help bring awareness and attention into a unique area of life, to help us move forward in that area, so we just can then collectively keep living a life ever forward. I say those two words. What do they mean to you? How do you, Jim, live a life ever forward?

01:14:01 - Jim (Guest) It's growth, that's what it means to me, and that you're constantly growing, because the minute we think that this is it, that's when we realize that we'll be in suffering. There's so much more beyond our pain and our bodies and our experiences, and even our wins and excitement. So ever forward means growth to me.

01:14:22 - Chase (Host) Yeah, what's the phrase? The minute you think you've arrived, you've already lost, or something like that.

01:14:28 - Jim (Guest) Something like that.

01:14:29 - Chase (Host) Yeah, um, there's never a right or wrong answer. I appreciate everyone's interpretation.
