0:00yeah
0:02hi it's Carolyn the contest Queen and
0:06I'm recording this because it's Mercury
0:08retrograde and this video was supposed
0:11to be live but I'm recording it on Zoom
0:15with my very special guest the aspiring
0:17Alchemist AKA Chris Grider and we're
0:21gonna have a wonderful chat
0:22unfortunately we won't be able to take
0:24any of your questions but I promise I
0:26will have Chris back again at another
0:28time where you can ask him his question
0:31your questions
0:33now let me tell you a little bit about
0:34him before we get started
0:37he is absolutely passionate about films
0:40and music and he's been directing music
0:43videos for about 20 years now you're
0:45thinking why is he on with the contest
0:46Queen well there's a very good reason
0:48just wait
0:50he had in 2017 started to tap into
0:54spirituality oh now it makes sense right
0:58and he helps people also create their
1:02own magical life which is why he's an
1:04aspiring Alchemist and we want to turn
1:07that lead into gold
1:09that's right
1:11now he I found him on Tick Tock you know
1:14I love my Tick Tock so you've got to go
1:16find him on Tick Tock he's amazing he's
1:18on Instagram but he's not as active so
1:21he's definitely a dick talker
1:23and he gives amazing short talks on
1:28spiritual philosophy I love watching him
1:31and so I want everybody to go follow him
1:34and he also coaches people on how to
1:37empower themselves and their
1:39perspectives and so I wanted to bring
1:42him on to help all my followers help
1:45have a winning mindset which is all what
1:49we need if we want to win those prizes
1:51because you got to believe you're a
1:52winner and think you're a winner before
1:54you are a winner
1:56and uh and so let's talk to Chris and
1:59see how we can turn some of that lead
2:01into gold thank you for
2:04Cog so much for having me uh I I like
2:07that you know a while back when you
2:09reached out to me and uh offered to send
2:12me some books I was like oh this is
2:13great like I uh didn't um you know when
2:16I made my Tick Tock I wasn't uh
2:19anticipating getting you know a
2:21community on there I just kind of was
2:22posting some videos of thought so it's
2:23really cool to see people
2:25um like you reaching out to being like
2:26hey like I think you'd like Helen
2:28hadstall's books and these things I and
2:30I realized you actually updated the
2:31books and stuff right like I didn't I
2:33didn't realize At first she was I guess
2:35a mentor to you right yeah awesome yeah
2:38and I just learned about Helen had soul
2:40I mean it's all lavage attraction right
2:41so I just learned about her and then I
2:42got your email and I'm like oh there's
2:44another reflection of energy that
2:47that's so funny I didn't realize the
2:50timing yeah it's interesting how that
2:52works I've learned uh through different
2:56um teachers that sometimes you can be
2:58the answer to someone else's prayer or
3:01the validation for somebody else
3:04and and I've had that happen the other
3:06way to me which is kind of cool because
3:09I did a vision board I've got to show
3:10you this I did a vision board and I put
3:13on there that I wanted Jose Silva's
3:16um original course that Helene took and
3:20I put it on there and I thought okay
3:22I'll see if I can find it one day and
3:24then three weeks later someone messaged
3:27me and says hey I'm cleaning out my
3:29house I have this old tape set would you
3:31like it so I'm like yes please
3:35so it's funny how it sometimes you're
3:39the recipient and sometimes you're The
3:41Giver
3:42yeah all it takes is a few of those
3:44experiences to start realizing that your
3:46thoughts and your attention are at least
3:49influencing the outcomes in your life if
3:52not completely dictating them
3:54you know
3:55and that's that's sort of the line where
3:58people
3:59um get confused because some people you
4:02know they might think well maybe my
4:03thoughts and emotions and stuff are
4:06playing a role but I don't think you
4:09know it's it's scary for people to think
4:10that they have sole responsibility for
4:13their own creation you know what I mean
4:15and I've had enough experiences now
4:17where I can make the connections of
4:19where because I've become so mindful of
4:22what I'm thinking because half the time
4:24we're not even aware of the thoughts
4:25that are just popping into our heads
4:26away right so now I catch it because you
4:30know through the work of just um
4:32becoming sensitive to my emotions
4:34because it's like if I feel the
4:35slightest tension I'm like oh there's a
4:37thought going on
4:38what's the thought and then I see it and
4:40then if I see a reflection in the outer
4:43world I start making the connections I
4:44mean like okay like you know this is
4:46this is all my creation you know and
4:48it's it is a responsibility to create
4:51the life however you want you know but
4:52it's okay if you create a mess you can
4:54always clean it up
4:57and sometimes
4:58time things have to fall apart
5:01to fall together a certain way
5:04and
5:05um if sometimes people are asking for
5:07certain things in their life
5:09so for example if they're looking to
5:12make more money in their job and the
5:15next thing they know is the company goes
5:17under and now they're unemployed they're
5:19like wait a minute I was focusing on
5:21more money well yeah you needed to get
5:22rid of that job to maybe start your own
5:25business or find something better
5:27because you weren't leaving that role
5:30and so the Universe goes well yeah we
5:31want you to you want to make more money
5:33yeah so we're going to take that away so
5:35you that clears the path and then you
5:37can go
5:38yeah there's always something working
5:39behind the scenes I wanted to be a
5:41professional skateboarder whenever I was
5:43a kid and I broke my ankle four times
5:45and then they had to re-break it in my
5:47fourth first a surgery because the
5:50growth plates so I was really devastated
5:52because like my whole Vision was being a
5:54pro skateboarder but that led had to be
5:56around skateboarding so I started
5:57filming skateboarding and like look
5:59teaching myself editing and then that
6:01brought me from Florida to La making
6:03music videos and I like took off with a
6:05whole career and a new passion that I
6:07never would have known was in my heart
6:10had I not been kind of forced away from
6:12that that's why I'm and this might be
6:14the difference between us too is like
6:17I I I can be intentional with things and
6:20be very specific with a thing that I
6:22want but also ultimately accept
6:25if it if if there's something else in
6:27play that I'm not aware because
6:28sometimes you don't have the bigger
6:30picture like oh like this like this
6:31video not being able to record live like
6:33who knows maybe it was better for us to
6:35do it like this for whatever reason we
6:37don't even know you know like that
6:39radical acceptance because at the end of
6:41the day radical acceptance brings you
6:43peace whereas resisting doesn't so even
6:47if that's all you get out of it you know
6:49what I mean but I actually think radical
6:51acceptance or infinite patience produces
6:54like immediate results you know well I'm
6:57I'm learning that myself
6:59so I didn't I haven't really told this
7:01story anywhere but when I was driving
7:03down to Texas I was going to the
7:06cemetery in Defiance Ohio to pay my uh
7:09respects to Evelyn Ryan because there
7:11was a book and a movie called The Prize
7:13winner of Defiance Ohio written and and
7:16shot
7:17and Evelyn Ryan
7:20um I wanted to go and pay my respects to
7:22her as I was driving to Texas
7:25to um get Helene hadzel's you know the
7:28remains of her library and her business
7:30materials because I'm you know now
7:32taking care of her Legacy incredible and
7:35I was waiting to turn into the cemetery
7:38and someone rear-ended me and totaled my
7:41car oh my gosh I'm like okay and I was
7:45just trying to accept
7:47okay I'm fine yeah like literally I had
7:51not I had a small bruise on one knee
7:53that was it I was absolutely fine if you
7:55looked at the front of the car you
7:56couldn't even tell it was in an accident
7:58yeah um I had just emptied the trunk and
8:02shipped off all the prizes that I had
8:04donated to the convention so like she
8:06literally emptied the trunk so the
8:08universe did wait till I sent all those
8:10off because it was a lot of fragile
8:12things in there yeah and I went all
8:16right I like that Jetta but
8:18yeah and I thought our okay now what do
8:21I do and I got taken to the Collision
8:24Center I thought okay I'm gonna just go
8:26with the flow
8:28and I got a hold of my insurance company
8:29and they said well you do have car
8:31because I said look I've got a problem
8:32everything's closing in 15 minutes I'm
8:34seven hours drive from home I'm in
8:36another country I need some help what do
8:39I do and he said oh you have rental in
8:42your policy and I said I do and he said
8:45well we can arrange it for you I said
8:47well
8:48can I do it and then you guys just pay
8:50for it he said yes and I look over and
8:52six feet to my left was the Enterprise
8:54dealership Enterprise car rental and I
8:57look at the guy and I go hey I need a
8:59car
9:00what do you need and within like an hour
9:04I was back on the road as if nothing had
9:07happened it was I was in a rental
9:09so a cool a cool Nuance to all of that
9:12yeah the fact that
9:15had you reacted differently it might not
9:18have even come into your awareness that
9:20there was a place right there you know
9:21what I'm saying it's like it's yeah it's
9:22weird how things unfold when we're less
9:26reactive to them and just like being
9:28like Oh it's it's very it's a very
9:29Taoist way of being like just let it all
9:31go Downstream like don't fight the
9:33current like where where are you being
9:35taken you know and uh you know it's nice
9:37to try to apply that as often as you can
9:39of course we are human we are meant to
9:41experience uh some resistance otherwise
9:43we would have stayed in that Angelic
9:46realm right we wanted to come here to
9:48expand so it's okay if you're not there
9:50but it's it's great when you can apply
9:52that and just be detached well it is a
9:55bit hard because I did miss my car I did
9:58notice I was it's interesting I was
10:00grieving a little bit I'm like
10:02gee I figured there has to be a
10:05universal reason I'm like all right I'll
10:08go with it I don't have to like it I can
10:09that's one of my favorite teachers
10:12Robert Ohio he says
10:13you just have to accept it you don't
10:16have to like it
10:17right right
10:19and I'm like okay I'm gonna sit there
10:22for a while yeah
10:24well also you know you know I had to get
10:26something new when I got back but uh so
10:30is that that worked out okay but it's
10:32still it was like like going with the
10:35flow and thinking what's in your 3D now
10:39is from the past and then there's also I
10:42kind of believe our sole contract like
10:44you weren't meant to be a skateboarder
10:46you were meant to go down this other
10:48path and so the universe kept breaking
10:49your your poor little ankle by the way
10:52you know what's really funny
10:56actually I'm this is like the
10:58philosopher in me I'm always thinking of
11:00their perspective I'm always thinking of
11:02even like when I think of something then
11:03I think of another perspective to
11:05challenge it so I'm like you know was it
11:07me attracting Things based on where my
11:09energy was at and that was an intention
11:11of mine and then through the asking
11:14because the idea is like when you're
11:15experiencing what you don't want you're
11:16asking for new really just emotions I
11:19wanted more levels of like you know uh
11:23a way to express myself skateboarding
11:25was my way of expressing myself so I was
11:26chasing that right so it was like maybe
11:29a captain you know by experiencing the
11:31absence of I tapped in this other thing
11:32but now I didn't think about this until
11:34just now when you said it's like I was
11:36being having my ankle broken for a
11:38reason and stuff
11:40I'm writing a movie
11:42uh and it's going to start like a
11:45somewhat known actor he's a friend of
11:47mine he's like in quite a lot of movies
11:49and TV shows and he wanted to star in it
11:51and it's about a guy who's like entering
11:54his 40s and he want he was trying to be
11:57a pro skateboarder where he was like a
11:58teenager and injury took him out and now
12:01he's like a family man and has his life
12:03you know he's all settled down and he's
12:06just decides he just wants to try to be
12:08a pro skateboarder now like at 40 and
12:10everyone's like what is this guy doing
12:11and he's like chasing that passion and
12:13it's funny because this is going to be a
12:15really fun project and a movie that I'm
12:17really excited about but I think because
12:20I had those experiences it kind of
12:21sparked that idea you know so maybe that
12:24was part of the purpose of it as well
12:26you know so I could create this great
12:27movie way later in my life
12:29yeah you never know where it's kind of
12:32gonna go yeah and you have to just trust
12:35the trusting is the hardest part I think
12:38for a lot of people and the unknown
12:40yeah and that's why everyone's scared of
12:43death
12:44yeah
12:46yeah
12:47we're gonna we're gonna dial it back a
12:49little bit from there yeah yeah
12:51no but I always feel that way unknown in
12:54general dude yeah the unknown in general
12:56and that's yeah one of the things people
13:00when they're entering sweepstakes
13:02so there's two approaches Helene had
13:05hers because I know you read her book
13:07where she would pick a prize and laser
13:10focus all her energy on it and win that
13:12one prize but I'm more of I call it the
13:15Christmas approach where
13:17um or shotgun approach where I don't
13:19know what I'm gonna get I do like
13:21scattering my energy a little bit
13:22because to me that's part of the fun
13:24yeah I'll enter this and this and this
13:26and this and this and this
13:28and she even told me she said yeah
13:30you're splitting your energy and I'm
13:31like yeah I know but it's fun
13:34so I think you have to go with how you
13:37enjoy it and so I split my energy and
13:40then I don't know what I'm gonna win and
13:41then to me it's fun when I just get a
13:43call or an email saying hey you want
13:44tickets to this or you won that or look
13:46what just showed up in the mail I kind
13:48of like it I like that
13:51I'm really curious how this all came
13:53about for you were you always interested
13:54in contests and then or did you find
13:56about how did you find Colleen hadsall
13:58like how did this all happen oh that's
14:00so funny I never sent you my my books
14:08I've skimmed through the books you sent
14:10me and also there's something I want to
14:12bring up later that I saw her talking
14:13about about levitating
14:15that was in one of the books do you know
14:17what I'm talking about yeah yeah
14:23um but yeah uh I've I've flipped through
14:25it and stuff uh I tend to read slowly so
14:28I don't know if your backstory was in
14:30there but yeah I'm just curious how all
14:31that worked out for you so I always like
14:34the idea of winning and I even remember
14:37being a teenager this is gonna date me
14:40because I would stand in the kitchen on
14:42the rotary dial phone
14:44trying to call the radio stations to win
14:46prizes
14:48and you know getting through and I
14:50remember one time I was 14 and I won
14:52concert tickets
14:53and because it was only 14 I had to send
14:55my mom to the radio station to get the
14:57tickets and then her and I went to the
14:59concert and
15:01um yeah that was that was fun
15:05so I knew people could win and then
15:08years later when I was unemployed
15:13and my ex-husband had bought me I call
15:16him my husband
15:18his ex sounds so harsh
15:21because that was a good period of my
15:23life and so he was my he's my husband
15:25and uh he had bought me a subscription
15:28Reader's Digest because I like to read
15:30in bed but I always ended up reading
15:32these you know hardbacks and they're
15:33heavy and so I like the Reader's Digest
15:36because they were short and stuff and I
15:38read an article about a couple who
15:40enhanced their Lifestyle by entering
15:42sweepstakes as a hobby and I thought
15:43what a good idea now I was unemployed at
15:46the time I got caught in that big.com
15:47bubble and I thought what a good idea I
15:50don't have to work I'll just win for a
15:51living
15:52it does not work that way if I could
15:56earn my living winning I would have
15:58figured it out by now
16:00um I enter contest as a hobby and then I
16:02earn my living by you know teaching and
16:04writing and I work with companies
16:06running their their promotions
16:09that's awesome yeah so that's yeah I
16:12still have to work I think it's better
16:14to be a hobby though because you know if
16:16it starts becoming a job it might take
16:17the fun out of it you know I do tell
16:20people if it starts to feel like work to
16:22stop because it is supposed to be a fun
16:24hobby and if you go in with the energy
16:26of dread you're not going to win
16:30or or if you do win it's just not going
16:32to be worth all the energy we're putting
16:34into it you're like you ever heard that
16:36phrase where it's like you can't have a
16:38happy destination after an unhappy
16:40journey to it it's like by the time you
16:41get there you're just so so it's like
16:43imagine this it's like imagine you get
16:45in the car with your friend and you're
16:46gonna drive across the country for three
16:48days because you guys are going to like
16:49some music festival or some whatever and
16:52the whole time you're bickering and then
16:54you blow out a tire and your wallet gets
16:56stolen and whatever so three days later
16:57you end up at the event and you're just
17:00drained and you're like oh God like you
17:02don't even fully get to enjoy it you
17:03know what I mean so even if that person
17:06wins they're like oh cool
17:09there could be something wrong with the
17:11prize yeah you know I've never heard
17:13that I like that expression yeah I love
17:17that yeah that's a good one yeah good
17:20time for water break I always show
17:22people that oh look the water bottle
17:24that I won
17:26oh that's awesome
17:28yeah I'm sure you've won all kinds of
17:30stuff I follow your tick tocks
17:33yeah the little stuff so it's funny
17:36because my favorite prizes are the big
17:38ones that I can't unbox like the trips
17:40you can't unbox the trip you can just
17:42tell people that you want it and then
17:43show them when you're there
17:45uh unfortunately I don't win as many of
17:48those as I would like either
17:52so why don't you
17:54um so what I would like you to tell
17:57people is how you started
18:00um how you started on your spiritual
18:02journey because you said it was around
18:042017. so what was the Catalyst and then
18:07how did you go from reading things for I
18:10guess technically it's
18:11five years now but last year you got on
18:14Tick Tock so after four years you
18:16decided to go on Tick Tock and share all
18:18this really great knowledge in them and
18:21now I it wasn't until I got your bio
18:23that I realized why you're so good at
18:25Tick Tock because you're a Storyteller
18:27you're a born Storyteller because that's
18:29why you're so good at films and videos
18:31um like in directing for like career
18:35and that's the Storyteller so tell us
18:37your story sure yeah so
18:41um at the time I just was uh going
18:45through a lot of I was just heartbroken
18:48actually and I just um I've been putting
18:51a lot of energy into like a relationship
18:53that just wasn't serving me and uh I
18:55kind of reached this point where I was
18:56like like
18:58I'm just so tired I spent so much of my
19:00life
19:01uh
19:03making my happiness uh be uh conditioned
19:07on other people's behaviors right and I
19:10was kind of like I cannot rely on other
19:13people to behave in ways to make me
19:15happy
19:16and I needed to get out of this
19:19depression so at first it wasn't a
19:21spiritual thing at first it was very
19:23like I'm just gonna work hard and I'm
19:26listening to like Tony Robbins and like
19:28all these motivational speakers that are
19:29like get up and work out every day and
19:31get up early and write out your goals
19:33and you know all the stuff so I'm like I
19:35was creating a vision of the life that I
19:37wanted and the person I wanted to be and
19:38I'm like doing all this stuff and it was
19:41exhausting because it was like but also
19:43I felt like hey I'm getting something
19:44done like I'm forcing myself to like put
19:46my nose to the brinestone and and I'm
19:49gonna get up at six a.m every morning
19:51and I'm gonna you know go run and eat
19:53healthy and you know do like just write
19:56out three goals for the day and whatever
19:58and that I'm a very like lazy person if
20:01that's the board you want to use I'm
20:02very like I'm very chill like I don't
20:04want to do that kind of stuff so it was
20:06a little hard to sustain but I was
20:08sticking with it because it was getting
20:09me out of my funk yeah and then um and
20:12then I found a video
20:14uh whenever I just been watching a bunch
20:16of Tony Robbins because you know the
20:18whole the classic saying when the
20:19student is ready the teacher will appear
20:21it's like that's where my teacher was
20:24that's where I that's what I was ready
20:25for at the time then I found an
20:28interview of Tony Robbins interviewing
20:29this guy that I had never heard of now
20:31he's one of my favorite people ever
20:32Wayne Dyer and so I was like I was like
20:35oh who's Wayne Dyer So I listened to
20:36this interview them I'm like on the
20:37treadmill and I thought that was my
20:39routine I go to the treadmill at the gym
20:40and I'm like listening to these like
20:42motivational things and this guy was
20:44talking like way it resonated way more
20:46because he's all about like you know be
20:48still and let it all come to you and
20:50like you know Center yourself with every
20:52and I'm like yeah because we've all had
20:54those moments in our life when we get
20:55into a flow and everything's like click
20:57click click like we we catch a wave you
20:59know and like I definitely known that
21:02I've just never known the science of
21:03what that is or how to sustain it right
21:06and all this stuff so
21:07again the idea is here is like words
21:09like learning things verbally or through
21:12text or whatever that's not really what
21:14teaches you it's it's applying those
21:17words and then getting experiences so I
21:19started meditating I started uh making
21:22the connection of what was unfolding in
21:25my life based on what I was you know
21:28doing it with my energy just previously
21:31before that because the idea is like
21:32you're always everything that's it's
21:34almost like the current I started to
21:35realize the current reality
21:37is actually the old news it's like the
21:40what what what's current is what you're
21:43vibrationally outputting right now so
21:45it's like when you see thunder or sorry
21:46when you see lightning and then you hear
21:48the thunder it's like our outer reality
21:50is like the the delay right so I I
21:53understood that like oh this is the
21:54delayed response of what I previously
21:56queued up I started really catching that
21:58and I do want to add one thing here yeah
22:02one thing I want to add to this was at
22:03the time I started having all of this
22:06quote unquote magic right I realize now
22:08it's not magic like the well it is Magic
22:10but but to use that term like just makes
22:12your subconscious think it's so rare I
22:14start seeing all this magical stuff I
22:17would think something it would happen I
22:18would be like just just in my head I'd
22:20be like I'm thirsty and the second I
22:22think if someone's like hey you want
22:23some water it was just like you know
22:24what I mean it was like every little
22:26thing that I wanted was like just like
22:28you like you need a rental car and you
22:29turn and it's right there those kind of
22:31things became so Norm those kind of
22:34things became so often and what I loved
22:37about that period in my life it was from
22:402017 to 2018 all this magic was going on
22:42and what I loved about it was that I
22:44hadn't gotten too far into the
22:46intellectual side of it yet that I was
22:49just open I kept saying I didn't know
22:52what to call it I'm like God Universe
22:54like I started realizing like there is a
22:56higher power here I believe that you're
22:58aware of me
22:59like please just surprise and Delight me
23:01I saw you make a video about this the
23:03other day just asking for a surprise
23:05please surprise and Delight me and it
23:07was one thing after another to a point
23:09where I'm like I don't think people are
23:10even gonna believe these stories you
23:12know what I mean and what I liked about
23:14it was that I wasn't Clinging On to a
23:18um like an intellectual idea of how this
23:20all works yet I started to learn that
23:22and now I think I've actually limited
23:24myself a little bit more I still have
23:26magical things happen but I've boxed
23:28myself in a little bit more because now
23:30I'm like oh yeah it's because X Y and Z
23:32and if I'm not getting what I want then
23:33I gotta shift this and like but really I
23:35just was open to like
23:37the understanding that I don't fully
23:39understand this universe and just show
23:41me how good it can get right so once I
23:44had those experiences I think over time
23:46uh I just got really into like a lot of
23:49teachings Abraham Hicks Dr Joe dispenza
23:52uh Deepak Chopra
23:55um Alan Watts I mean I actually always
23:56liked Alan Watts but like it started
23:58clicking you know um ramdas just all
24:00these people and um and some people who
24:03are a little more under the radar as
24:04well even like YouTubers like this guy
24:06Aaron Dowdy sure you might have heard of
24:08him but um yeah like
24:10I just I just was so into it and and
24:13then last year my friend was like you
24:15got to get on Tick Tock and you gotta
24:17talk about this stuff and I'm like no
24:19one's gonna watch that but okay and then
24:21little did I know like you're actually
24:23the spiritual community on Tick Tock I
24:24was like oh it's just gonna be like kids
24:25dancing like what's this guy talking
24:27about but I mean no now I realize it's a
24:30good thing Tick Tock is has all kinds of
24:32great content on there so I'm glad I
24:34pushed through that resistance and got
24:36on me and now I do coaching and try to
24:39help people reframe their problems and
24:42and see them you know as empowering as
24:44they can and realize that they can shift
24:45it you are the creator of your life you
24:47can clean up any mess that's in your
24:48life and it starts with what you said
24:51what we said before making peace with
24:52what is and getting momentum moving
24:56towards what you want
24:58yeah yeah the little bit of patience is
25:00the is the key there right because you
25:02had to push through the part where your
25:05body is like that's a little bit of Mel
25:06Robbins right the 54321 just get up and
25:10do it because you're feeling amazing I
25:12don't no one's ever gonna feel like
25:13going to the gym no one's ever going to
25:15feel like eating healthy
25:17no one's ever gonna feel like there's
25:19certain things you just never feel like
25:20doing them but you just do them and then
25:22it actually helps you and look what
25:24happened it got you motivated enough
25:27like I started finding those other
25:29teachers and going down that path so
25:32yeah
25:33so sometimes you just have to push
25:35through it with what is to get to that
25:39next level where just kind of the hard
25:41part seems to fall away and it gets
25:43easier do you still force yourself to
25:45get up super early or no
25:46no but I'm I'm gonna I think I'm gonna
25:49try that out again soon
25:51um my my schedule's kind of been
25:53backwards I've been staying up late uh
25:55working on editing for um some videos
25:57right now and then I tend to be quite a
26:00night owl I tend to tend to like the
26:02quiet nights of just being creative you
26:04know and so yeah
26:07yeah I'm the opposite I'm an early bird
26:08and all summer I get up at 5am to go
26:11coat hunting to find you know winning
26:13opportunities
26:15so I'm the opposite and actually that's
26:17when I do like the quad I like the quiet
26:19of the morning where if if I'm not doing
26:22that and I get up early I'll sit in my
26:24office where it's quiet the same and and
26:27do the creative stuff for the day that's
26:29very funny
26:30so what was your favorite uh magical
26:34manifestation that people be like that I
26:37can't believe that
26:41uh well I guess I'll tell you one that I
26:44don't think anybody is gonna believe but
26:46but
26:48I actually made a post about this once
26:51on my Tick Tock and people didn't
26:52believe it on my you know some of my
26:54followers and stuff which was cool
26:56but um
26:59okay yeah I'll tell this one so so I was
27:02um with a friend at like a Halloween
27:04party I want to say 2018 Maybe
27:08and um
27:09this is like right when the drink white
27:11claw had came out and so this party was
27:13like sponsored by white claw it was like
27:15their like an open bar thing and
27:17whatever
27:19so I tried I had my first one it was
27:21like a black cherry flavor and I'm
27:23talking to my friend on this back patio
27:25and at the time I've been having just
27:28all these amazing things
27:30um I was having visions and dreams where
27:33I'd wake up and then they'd happen I was
27:34having all these wild things that really
27:37just make you be like am I going crazy
27:39here am I am I what is this dream life
27:42you know but um
27:44I started at the time I was getting
27:45really curious about like metaphysics
27:48and quantum physics and all these the
27:50you know
27:52I was just curious how flexible this
27:54world really was so I put out this
27:56message because I'm always communicating
27:58to whatever that higher power is Source
28:00Spirit my my higher self you know who
28:04knows it's that non-resistant part that
28:07that's working with you when you get in
28:08alignment with it so I was kind of like
28:11asking like please show me in a way
28:14that's comfortable but you know it's
28:17going to be jarring no matter what but I
28:18was like just show me how flexible
28:21physical reality can be right so anyways
28:24I've been putting out that message for a
28:26couple days now I'm at this Halloween
28:27party I'm talking to a friend of mine
28:29who's not spiritual but every time I'm
28:32around him magical things happen because
28:34he's always like in a great energy he
28:36has he's like actually sort of he's kind
28:38of a rock star actually as like a famous
28:39band and hit songs and all this stuff he
28:42he he knows how to manifest the life
28:44that he wants he just doesn't realize
28:46he's doing it you know what I mean so so
28:48I'm always around him and all these cool
28:50things happen
28:51I'm sitting there talking to him I
28:53finished my first White claw and then a
28:55moment later I got my second one
28:58so you know maybe it's like an hour now
29:00into the party and I'm you know almost
29:02done with my second one and he's telling
29:04me a story and I'm holding the can at my
29:06side standing up like this and it's
29:08empty and as he's finishing his story I
29:11think okay when he's done talking I'm
29:13gonna go
29:14I'm gonna go get my uh my third white
29:17claw and I want to try a different
29:18flavor because both both of them have
29:20been black cherry now and as I fake it
29:23the can I don't drop it it just like
29:25shoots I feel it like shoot out of my
29:27hand it's like and the way like I'm
29:30looking at him but the way it landed by
29:32my foot felt odd because it wasn't like
29:34Ting Ting Ting and roll away it was like
29:36fun it was like and and so I let him
29:39finish his story and I reached down it
29:40was like it was like Drop thud okay but
29:43while he finishes his sense I reached
29:45down and I pick up and it's an unopened
29:47mango flavored can
29:50of white cloth and I just thought oh
29:53whenever he's done telling his story
29:55I'll get a new flavor a new can and I'm
29:58looking around and the empty black
30:01cherry one is gone and I'm and I don't
30:03in my head I go
30:07because like I know like this is it like
30:08this this is what I I was like this is
30:11what I was asking for but I'm trying to
30:12keep my cool and I look at him and I'm
30:14like I like pop and I pop the tab and he
30:16looks at me kind of weird because he
30:17just saw he knew I had an empty can in
30:19my hand and it drops and just goes thuds
30:21and I reach down and I just like open up
30:22a new one and I just and he looks at me
30:25and he was like wait what what was that
30:27and I'm like what and he's like and I'm
30:29like did you did you see that like I
30:31didn't want to get into it with him
30:32because I knew it just would not compute
30:34I was like I was like that was an empty
30:37can and he's like yeah but and he's
30:41looking everywhere for the empty one and
30:43it's nowhere in sight like there's
30:44nothing and so I just like Let It Go but
30:48the whole night actually for the whole
30:50like following week I was just like on
30:52cloud nine I was like Wow but what I
30:55loved about that experience was that I
30:58couldn't have
31:00um I couldn't have consciously done that
31:03I couldn't have been like I now turn my
31:05empty can into a full can with a new
31:08flavor it was just like a soft desire
31:11and an intention and me being in that
31:13right energetic place at the time and
31:16having this intention and desire to see
31:18physical reality be manipulated or
31:20changed or whatever but it still boggles
31:23my mind because I'm like well how do the
31:26physics of it work did it in midair did
31:28it did the information shift and now
31:31it's now I'm interpreting it as a new I
31:34don't know physical reality just really
31:35trips me out and that I've definitely
31:37have some beautiful experiences that was
31:40the most like
31:41like wow this is like some undeniable
31:43thing but you know I and almost a little
31:46scary you know like like but but
31:49ultimately a good thing because I was
31:51like I've been putting out this
31:52intention I knew I wanted to see
31:53something that made me never question
31:55that reality can change uh before your
31:59eyes you know so yeah that was that's my
32:02craziest one maybe not my most exciting
32:05one I definitely have like really
32:06beautiful ones I think that's exciting
32:08yeah yeah
32:10uh sorry I think you would like
32:13um Daryl Anka he channels Bashar yeah I
32:17like I like a lot of his messages and he
32:20he did a video on how to win the lottery
32:24and what you do is you don't worry about
32:26the lottery you don't worry about am I
32:28picking the winning numbers what you do
32:30is you pick numbers and then you bend
32:32reality so that you have the winning
32:35numbers and I think basically that's
32:38what you did you
32:40wanted another uh White claw and you
32:44literally just bent reality for your
32:46next flavor right just without crying
32:49yeah yeah that's what you did you just
32:51bent reality to match the next step you
32:54just kind of skipped a step you just
32:56didn't have to go to the bar exactly
32:58that that was actually my that's
33:00actually when I realized that like at
33:02that time I was on such a different
33:03level because it was exciting but it
33:06also felt natural it was like oh I just
33:08like you said I just skipped the step I
33:10just you know there's many ways to get
33:12what you want
33:13and I just like cut out the middleman
33:15for a moment like on this one or
33:17something it was it was a strange
33:18experience
33:20very cool
33:22yeah now I I we're gonna have a lot of
33:25people trying to uh Bend reality to
33:28shift reality for prizes I wonder what
33:32prizes would show up for people
33:36um I'm gonna have everybody who's gonna
33:37try this
33:39um leave comments on what showed up when
33:42you tried this experiment for yourself
33:44and I think we can paraphrase it to
33:47prizing because you know that's what we
33:48talk about here
33:50we can we can you know Bend reality to
33:53winning
33:54absolutely you can bend it to anything
33:56I would suggest
33:58um if someone if the listeners were to
34:00try that to maybe do it in a way where
34:02they're not so specific but they say
34:04Okay Universe uh bring me a prize that
34:10is something that I could really use
34:13because like there's all kinds of things
34:15that you don't even know like you really
34:16would love to have right like kind of
34:20put that up and not be so because again
34:22the canned thing it wasn't like I was
34:24like I'm gonna make this happen it was
34:25like for a couple days I was like I'm
34:27ready to see reality Bend right so it's
34:31kind of nice to have that general idea
34:33at least for me but if it feels good
34:36being specific then I say go for it if
34:37you're like well they're giving away
34:38this Mercedes and it just feels natural
34:41for me Universe like if you want to do
34:43that then go for it but I think
34:44sometimes the more specific you get a
34:46little more resistance can come in
34:48because you go well it's more limited
34:50it's more like rare it's you know it's
34:53nice to just kind of have a general
34:55information you know yeah also I think
34:58what you did unconsciously
35:02because I didn't hear you verbalize it
35:04but I think you did it was also for the
35:07highest good
35:09yeah right you you're open to whatever
35:11it is because it's for the highest good
35:14of so like that's how you ended up going
35:16from skateboarding to movie making I
35:18think because it's for the highest good
35:20of all yeah and now you're getting these
35:22messages out to all these people
35:24that's true that you might not have been
35:26able to do had you stayed on the
35:29skateboard path or in the skateboard
35:31park
35:32I would have stayed at ordinary human
35:35consciousness and that's okay that's not
35:36put down ordinary human consciousness is
35:39just where our evolution is at but we
35:42are now you know evolving farther and
35:44more people are reaching higher levels
35:46there will there's no end right there's
35:48no end to our Consciousness Rising as we
35:51evolve as Humanity evolves you know so
35:54yeah it's fun I love that story though
35:57and after you told it I'm like thinking
35:59I think I remember you telling that
36:01story
36:04I've been watching him for a while
36:07I have a playlist on my Tick Tock if
36:09anyone watching wants to go check it out
36:11there's actually a playlist called
36:12magical stories and it's just me telling
36:14it's just me telling a bunch of uh
36:17of things that have happened like that
36:19that are really cool
36:20oh that's fun
36:22I might go and see if I can do it one or
36:25two of those if I can find it to fit my
36:27audience because that is kind of cool
36:30yeah here's a quick one just real quick
36:32I wanted to pay to go
36:34it was like an overwhelming urge and um
36:37for like a couple like wow like why have
36:39I never gone somewhere to swim with
36:40dolphin
36:41and then a few days later I went to the
36:43beach by myself and there was like 15
36:46dolphins in the water at the shore and I
36:48just ran out there and swam with them
36:50like naturally naturally I just wasn't
36:52ex they just happened to be at the spot
36:55felt compelled to go to and there was
36:57nobody around and there was like 15
36:58Dolphins I'm like are you kidding yeah
37:00it's like I'm sputing and hollering it's
37:02like magical magical moment and it was
37:05what I wanted for like two days and then
37:07it just naturally happened you know so I
37:09was like wow like you know things like
37:11that can happen when you're just in that
37:13and I I'm not always there that's I
37:15don't want to give out that impression
37:17but things like that can happen when
37:18you're operating from those higher
37:20levels of just having an open heart
37:22really having an open heart and and an
37:25understanding that this world is not
37:27it's benevolent you know it's it's it
37:29loves you and and it it can work with
37:31you if you allow it you know
37:34and the other thing too is is you gave
37:36the key there you said I had this
37:38overwhelming urge and that's the thing I
37:40think people don't do is that to me is
37:44your inner voice saying turn left or go
37:47straight or get down to this beach or
37:49whatever it is or enter this giveaway
37:51like I'm really compelled to enter this
37:54one I don't know why I've never wanted a
37:56trip to you know XYZ but I feel
37:58compelled to enter
38:00and I think because you followed your
38:04voice you had that oh my gosh I'm here
38:07alone with all these dolphins and so I
38:10think more people need to follow their
38:12little voice for whatever it is whether
38:14they wanna
38:16cook or enter a sweepstakes or film
38:19movies or whatever it is
38:22is there a particular type of contest
38:24that you prefer entering over any other
38:27I have to say I do like the PIN code
38:30contest because
38:32um you have to have a code to enter
38:35and so I think I believe my odds of
38:39winning are increased now strangely
38:42enough this year for Canada Dry they
38:45have one every summer and I usually win
38:46something fairly good in the first
38:48couple of weeks and this year last year
38:50you know I've won a an e-reader headsets
38:54a coffee maker you know some good prizes
38:57that are really useful and last year I
39:00won a hot tub which was amazing
39:03and then this year I won a t-shirt near
39:08the end of the stream of six and I was
39:11like wow like same like dozens and
39:15dozens and dozens of codes and nothing
39:17so I don't know what was up with that
39:20one but I usually win
39:22um fairly well from them so do you ever
39:25play this year's energy maybe it's the
39:2722 22 energy we'll see if it changes for
39:302023. yeah do you ever play the Monopoly
39:34games at the grocery stores when they do
39:35that and stuff
39:36um actually it just started here at
39:38McDonald's we don't have it at the
39:40grocery stores we have it at McDonald's
39:41every company does it different and
39:45um yeah I haven't won anything yet but
39:48I've only gone to get one drink uh so
39:51far I didn't manage to get out today uh
39:54tomorrow I am gonna go and I love this
39:57stuff I love that you teach this stuff
39:59because it's such a specific like Niche
40:02and I'm sure just now I'm talking to you
40:05I'm just now realizing how many people
40:06probably share this hobby with you you
40:09know like who can find you and be like
40:11oh that's a fun hobby like entering
40:13contests like you know like it might for
40:16people who never really thought to to
40:18try that in a this way you know so it's
40:21really cool that you do that well I do
40:23know that I'm going to bring you over to
40:25the I to the to the winning side because
40:28now it's gonna happen
40:29and and because I know you're open to
40:31this I can already tell you're gonna
40:34start to spot the word win
40:36everywhere and it is everywhere and
40:38that's one of the reasons I like the PIN
40:40code contest because a lot of people
40:41they don't even notice that their
40:43packages have you know uh Sweepstakes on
40:47it they just throw it in the recycle bin
40:49or throw it away or they'll walk right
40:52past it in a store and you're already
40:55saying oh did you notice that the
40:56McDonald's is at the supermarket and I
40:59bet you if you're in the supermarket and
41:01the person ahead of you is buying a lot
41:02of groceries and they're giving out
41:04those little tokens or codes or whatever
41:07and yeah I bet you they might not play
41:10and you could say to them well if you're
41:11not going to use those codes can I have
41:12them and a lot of times they go sure
41:14here because they think it's a waste of
41:16time nobody ever wins it's a scam
41:19and I go thank you and then I take them
41:22and I go home and I win stuff
41:24that's so cool and you can do it too
41:27you're gonna spot it now because you're
41:28gonna be everywhere and it's cool
41:30because the sweepstakes are everywhere
41:32you'll see signs at the grocery store
41:33the convenience store Billboards you're
41:35hearing on the radio you'll see a
41:37website you might spot a tick tock that
41:40comes across it's a promotion you got it
41:43you gotta enter them
41:45here's an interesting thought uh and
41:48insight that might um be of value to
41:50your listeners and stuff and it just
41:52occurred to me now but
41:55um
41:56there's like so many ways to quote
41:58unquote manifest something right right
42:01lately there's ultimately it's like
42:03whatever whatever law of attraction is
42:05if you want to call it that you can call
42:07it I've called it the universal
42:08algorithm it's like something in place
42:10you know it's something in place that is
42:13uh managing all these vibrations and
42:16managing our beliefs our expectations uh
42:20our thoughts emotions the mixture of all
42:21that and then the co-creation within all
42:23that you know somebody else has an
42:25intention that's held stronger than
42:26yours there's winds out or whatever like
42:28there's all
42:30and something that's interesting is like
42:32so much of our experiences are based on
42:36what our subconscious is doing what
42:38we're impressing our subconscious with
42:40and so if you're entering a bunch of
42:42contests and you're winning some and
42:45losing some
42:47your As You observe
42:51what's happening the conscious mind
42:54learns oh sometimes I don't win
42:55sometimes I might not win this thing I
42:58want you know and so because this other
43:00one didn't work out and so it's almost
43:02and this is the trickiest part is like
43:04to be able to be neutral and it's almost
43:06like not even notice when you don't win
43:08and just still have that mentality of
43:10like I always win you know what I mean
43:11it's just like because or to downplay
43:15that aspect like to be like oh yeah like
43:17I I usually get lucky with this you know
43:19it's like I I it makes more like and
43:22it's so funny because there's all these
43:24tools for manifesting
43:26um Neville Goddard I'm sure you might
43:27have heard of him like he's he's you
43:29know he's got all these little tools
43:31he's created one of them that might
43:33apply to some of your listeners is the
43:34revision tool
43:36so it's like when they go and check the
43:38email or they check the mail or the
43:40thing which they didn't win
43:42they can edit it in their mind to the
43:45fact that they did win they don't like
43:46it's like you know an hour later in the
43:48day they're thinking oh that's so nice
43:49that I've won that uh you know that pair
43:52of shoes or whatever you know like and
43:54when they go to bed like this is an
43:57avocado technique when the idea of
43:59revision is and actually he talks about
44:00doing that throughout your day in
44:01general like when something works out in
44:03a way that you don't prefer when you're
44:05going to bed that night to replay your
44:07entire day as it was but all the things
44:09that didn't work out just edit them it's
44:11working out a little bit better you know
44:13like as you're falling asleep and it's
44:15funny what that does to our minds starts
44:17like creating this idea of like oh
44:18things are always working out for me and
44:20you know we get more of those
44:22experiences kind of like coming in in
44:24the physical
44:26what a good idea you know it's funny
44:28because I study all this stuff but
44:30there's so many techniques
44:32and there's so many different uh things
44:35people can do
44:37um that are put forth by different
44:38teachers but sometimes you forget about
44:41some of the classics
44:43like not one well that's a great idea
44:46Colleen Hansel says spec right selected
44:49projected expected collected expect it
44:52is the number one most important thing
44:53in my opinion from all that like
44:55expectations so powerful you know
44:58expectation pulls it is
45:03this person's usually annoying when I'm
45:05around them and then you catch them at
45:06the worst time you know it's like
45:07because you're You're Expecting You're
45:09Expecting things like and it certainly
45:11plays and so it's nice to have that
45:14sometimes that thing when the physical
45:17evidence tells you something else so
45:20it's about regarding what senses tell
45:22you right as much as you can and just
45:25holding the vibration of being the
45:27winner you know
45:29oh I like that idea yeah and that's I
45:32think how she used to do it because
45:35um I think also it didn't hurt that she
45:37was working with Jose Silva and was
45:39around his energy all the time that's
45:42like hanging around Neville Goddard and
45:43hanging around you know and these all
45:45these people and I unfortunately only
45:48had four days with her in person I know
45:50she's hanging around me now
45:52um yeah because you know I when I was
45:55writing was working on her first book
45:58and I was getting it out I had a
46:00girlfriend say to me who's he was highly
46:02intuitive she says
46:04um because I said oh maybe I'll do one
46:06of her books and then I'll work on my
46:08next book and then she said was Helene
46:10funny I said yeah why she goes all I
46:14just heard was finish my books first
46:16finish my books first I thought okay
46:19Elaine you know yes I can't hear you
46:23other people can but yeah all right
46:26something that's very interesting is
46:29that I believe
46:32you know it's all who occupied the
46:35bodies of great artists for instance
46:37like
46:39I wouldn't as if like John Lennon the
46:42energy that was John Lennon is so so
46:45passionate about creating music is
46:47flowing through today's greatest
46:48musicians you know like creating that so
46:50maybe Helene has this Affinity towards
46:54you know contests and this this this you
46:57know part and it's like she's using you
46:59as a vessel as well to kind of like
47:00right make that you know it's
47:02interesting yeah that's funny yeah I I
47:06can see that you know why not and I have
47:09and I know
47:11um she was originally gonna have family
47:13take over her Legacy but unfortunately
47:15there was nobody in her family that was
47:17wanting to take it over and
47:21you know sometimes I wonder why she
47:22picked me but I I think one I'm
47:25passionate about it like she was and two
47:27I have two skill sets that she never had
47:29and on on a very entrepreneurial
47:32and and I'm also very techy you know I'm
47:36doing The Tick Tock I'm doing YouTubes
47:38I'm using software to edit the books
47:40like this was beyond her like she just
47:43didn't have it she didn't grow up in
47:44that era you know she was in her 80s and
47:48she was using like word and she's
47:51editing documents with the return
47:54um space bar and the return key
47:57so I found these documents and I'm like
48:00oh we're fixing this you know I can
48:03because I'm barely techy that way and
48:06she did and I made it flow better you
48:09know like she'll have one chapter and it
48:10talks about the next thing but then that
48:11chapter would be like somewhere else in
48:13the books I'm like no no this needs to
48:15be over here
48:17like perfect co-creation you know yeah
48:20so I just wanted to make her stuff
48:24better like and I didn't change any of
48:27her you know she she loved to play with
48:29words she was very clever with words and
48:31had a lot of fun with that and so all of
48:34her wonky like spellings that she did on
48:36purpose right to to play on words and
48:39and some of her things that she said I
48:43didn't fix I didn't fix them in the book
48:45like if there was you know a little bit
48:47of odd grammar and stuff that she had
48:49specifically put in there I never
48:52changed it I just fixed things like
48:53spelling errors and
48:55and um and organize it that way
49:01she was fun but I just want to thank you
