different walks of life I like it to be
something tangible that we can actually

something today planting the seed today
that I want it to manifest tomorrow you
have to water you have to plant the seed

the life that you want for yourself and
so I talked to friends all the time and
they you know they want to do what I'm
doing and stuff and they want to go

stuff but they're not doing anything

everything all that can be found out on
the website true sticker calm also a few
support you get access to the school of
the Mystics this is something that we're
doing every Thursday night
kind of have a sense of community with
the podcast where it's just not you just
show up and listen to the show it's like
this becomes tangible and we have a
community and we're these discussions
are carried out further extent in in the
school of the Mystics and also we have
something that we started this past week
which was amazing I was kind of nervous
about it but we started a course and of
course as a basic training for prophetic
ministry and this is about how to hear
the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to
you in your lives and we're going
through this eight-week course and we
just started last week everything is
recorded so if you want to go back and
listen you weren't able to make that
week you can go back and access the
archives on patreon as well I'm very
excited about that we kind of broke off
into pairs after we did the course and
the teaching we broke off into pairs and
we practice the prophesying over one
another practice being able to hear the
voice of the Spirit speaking about
particular people who we were paired off
with and I was kind of nervous because
it's a huge step that's a huge leap of
being able to access that intuition or
what the Spirit is saying for someone
it's one thing to do it in the same room
in the same location but then when it's
over the phone or over the Internet and
this is what everybody was joined
together it's it's a hurdle that you
have to cross but it was crossed very
easily and so I was a little nervous
going in I've done it I've already
crossed it I've seen the power of
intention and prayer and stuff like that
of somebody across the world and there's
no such thing as space and time so we
did it I was blown away everybody
received something and was able to
contribute it was awesome so Thursday
nights at 7 p.m.
scholars the Mystics head on over to the
website to get access to that with that
being said
huge thank you let's uh let's go ahead
and jump into the show I got a awesome
conversation plan for you guys today my
guest Rana Zia did I pronounce it right
yes welcome to the show I'm excited to
speak with you I'm excited to speak with
you too thank you for having me here so
we're talking about manifestation having
these dreams and visions or these hopes
and goals and we don't know how to
achieve them they're just kind of like
want to call them pipe dreams I wish I
could have been this or you know maybe
this dream has passed me up I had these
ideas and inspirations when I was a kid
but now they're gone how do we recapture
that dream so there's there's some
practical steps we can take in it all so
it's not just in the physical realm you
you actually bring in the spirituality
behind it as well you want to talk a
little bit about your new book and what
we can get started with this
conversation yeah yeah well let me give
you a little bit of background to give
you some context so I do have a book
I'll call your hidden light a personal
guide to creating your desired lights
they came out in November but my
background was never a writer my
background has all been in corporate
finance so I you know I grew up from an
immigrant family Indian immigrant family
in the United States went to college and
went into the profession of finance so
I've been in finance on my career
climbing the corporate ladder and
eventually reached the milestone of
becoming a chief financial officer of a
billion-dollar retail company now this
happened to me in 2012 and when it did
happen for me it was everything I ever
wanted in terms of my finance career it
was a job that moved me from California
back to the New York area it was the
perfect position and it was all
happening a lot sooner than I thought it
would happen and back in 2012 there was
an inner feeling within me that told me
that I actually created this and it came
to me exactly how I wanted it because I
created it and in that moment I thought
to myself oh wow if I can create this
and what else could I create you know I
there's something else that I really
feel like I need to be doing and I need
to figure out what that is so this all
this journey really started I would say
my spiritual journey my seeking journey
my truth seeking journey started for me
about six years ago and so wow I was so
grateful I mean I can't tell you how
grateful I was for the opportunity this
new job new life on the East Coast
there was a pulling or calling up my
all right I didn't know what it was but
I I was determined to figure out what it
was so I went down the path of reading a
lot of self-help books going on retreats
seminars I was fortunate enough to have
a personal coach and I was really really
searching for my purpose now at the same
time I'll be honest with you I was
looking to enhance my material life I
was saying how can I get more do more in
this material world and during this time
of seeking I was coming across profound
pieces of wisdom that rang true for me
things that were waking me up to my own
personal power concepts like your truth
yeah Muir thoughts create your reality
and as I was pulling you know learning
this information I can look back in my
own life and say oh yeah that's how I
think I created this or this is why I
couldn't create this I was learning you
know all this information I started to
feel this sense of I need to pull this
all together in one spot I needed to
take all of these different pieces of
wisdom from different books and
different places and put it together in
one place where I could reference that I
could easily understand and I can go to
so I I created the book that I wanted to
read I needed someone to just give me
the truth straight up no fluff tell me
what I need to know and so that was what
was coming through me in terms of as I
was searching for what am I supposed to
be doing or what am I gonna do next I
have this creative urge to write that
never existed to me at all so I think my
point in saying that is you know when
you're looking for your purpose
sometimes it comes to you completely
unexpected it's not what you expect to
do I was not a writer I was an
analytical person ya know so I know I'm
going a little bit long in this story
but you know this process has been so
interesting to me and when I when I was
seeking and I was learning and I was
curious how does the world work how am I
it's manifest I got steps that made
sense but I was also looking for why did
these steps work mm-hmm why am i able to
do this and so that pushed me into this
realization that it's not just the
physical world right everything comes
from the spiritual world and I have to
open myself up more to spirituality and
I realized that everything same comes
from the empty and so I put this all
into this book your hidden light a
personal guide to creating your desired
life and it's really it's 150 pages it's
a very easy read and it literally is my
journey of what I discovered which was
true for me as to how I can consistently
consciously create what I want in my
life that really lives in my heart so
that's been my journey because everybody
up like already is consciously creating
whether they're conscious of it or not
like the thoughts and the things that
they're entertaining and the things are
speaking over their self they're
essentially creating it and it's really
about switching off what I call
autopilot I felt like I've been on like
autopilot for so long just own default
just live in life and the choices were
like choices that maybe I was just
living a life of some choices that other
people have made not that I wanted to
create and ended up at jobs that I could
find just whoever would would hire me
those type of things when I had a vision
and a passion within and then sometimes
I guess with with life and going through
the hustle and bustle and being on
default for so long you kind of lose
your dream or you lose that spark and
it's funny that you were saying that you
almost essentially got a new vision
something totally new came so we always
hear about like going back in
recapturing the dream that you had when
you was a kid like what if what did you
always want to do go back and get that
but you said there were some new things
that were at what that was added to you
as well which is really cool one thing
there's a scripture I want to I want to
throw in here because I kind of tie
everything back to the the Bible that's
just how my mind works um we talked
about how early on with like the I guess
success and wanting to make it was about
you know
achieving things and kind of getting the
material wealth and stuff like that and
that that's what it is for for like a
lot of people there's a scripture here
in Psalm 37:4 this is really going it
says delight yourself in the Lord and he
would give you the desires of your heart
and it's really cool because I many
times people quote that scripture and
they think of the mansion they think of
the the Rolls Royce or the dream job or
whatever and it's always these these
exoteric outer court things that we want
for our flesh to feel good are things
that we can add to us but then like the
more time we spend with with God with
the divine presence and going into the
spirit realm and living a spiritual life
we understand that our desires change
and it's not about what I can like he
who dies with the most toys wins it
changes from that to like the your
desires to add to your life verses peace
and joy and sharing that with others and
stuff and all of that as part of the big
plan so it's essentially a lot of people
they want it for the money but the money
is only one aspect of it it's like
everything else comes with it when you
have this life that is in pursuit of
spiritual riches yeah absolutely I mean
I was looking for the material aspect of
it and I discovered something far
greater which was really you know a
deeper sense of the spiritual aspect and
how it's all connected and that's what
made life so exciting for me because
when you open yourself up to the world
is so much more than what we think it is
and that we are so much more empowered
and so much more powerful than we think
we are and you start testing some of
these practices in terms of let me test
my own personal power can I create my
day can I create this moment right can I
create my life and when you realize that
you can everything becomes so much more
exciting and then world becomes them
it's more exciting place what is your
religious background so my my background
is I'm I grew up Muslim okay yeah and my
parents are amazing actually you know
they get and they immigrated here and
they really assimilated us to this
culture when we came
and while my entire family is Muslim
they are just wonderful supportive
parents and very open-minded and I think
I've been very fortunate that in this
journey where you know I talked about
different ain't no belief system that we
are connected to this divine creative
force it is not necessarily the standard
teaching of the religion so that journey
for me you know was a little bit hard
knowing that okay I'm going to be
pushing you know some buttons here for a
lot of people not just of my religion
right right for for a lot of religions
but I felt really it was really really
important to share and it's not that the
book preaches because it doesn't it just
it just provides information to allow
people to say is does this ring true for
me
or not these are truths that rang true
and do still ring true for myself and I
wanted to put it out there because it's
authentic to who I am and I wanted to
create a book like I said which was
going to remind me every day how to stay
on track right and if this could be of
service and help to others I love that I
love that because it's been so
beneficial to me that's really cool cuz
like just like what what I mentioned at
the beginning about having people on
that are sharing things that works for
them like whatever your story is like
what's working for you let's talk about
it and see if I can apply it to my life
and there's some things that are working
for me and let's talk talk about I have
other guests on and it's really cool
there's so many people who are listening
they're you know doing the spirit to
work and it's working for them like
everybody's story it's very similar
because these principles whether you
want to call them religious or not
they're like universal laws that are
mixed in with the religions as well or
lack of or for that matter whether it's
just spirituality in general these
universal principles that anyone can do
its universal law it's the law of sowing
and reaping seed time and harvest all of
this stuff like I was mentioning enough
at the beginning and it's so cool and I
like the fact that you put all these
little things in one book
works for you I remember having a Bible
promise book and it's just a little book
I used to keep in my back pocket and
they had all of these different like
situations or whatever like if you were
depressed or you were struggling with
money financially you could pull out
this little Bible promise book and it
would go directly to these scriptures
that had to deal with lack of provision
or holding your peace or calamity or
storms that are coming in your life and
all of these things and it's really cool
to be able to go through and and point
out these these things that work and and
and and that they're working and stuff
so that's really that's really cool that
you're bringing that to the table what
is some of the the practical things that
people can do that you talked about in
the book like is it visualization is
there breathing is it meditation what
are some ones like the key things that
work for you that's kind of like
foundational in this yeah no that's
that's a great question because
foundational one of the key practices
that I do is meditation because for me
the core of being able to consciously
create positive things in your life is
really about a discipline over yourself
right it's self discipline and it starts
with your thoughts right and and to
really discipline your thoughts you have
to become very aware of your thought
patterns and for me the practice of
meditation builds up a muscle you know
an internal mind muscle where I'm able
to get to a neutral place a neutral
state in my mind where I can clear our
clear out negative thoughts not you know
diverge you know all the time towards
positive thoughts but get to a clear
mind space a neutral mind space and that
takes practice and that's the muscle
that you need to that I needed to
develop because if I want to consciously
create positive things I need to
understand where my negative mind is
coming in and attacking that right so
for the book you know I couldn't write
the book until I had a belief that I was
a writer and it took two years to build
that belief belief that I can actually
write
book because intellectually I can say
yes I'm going to write a book but when
my body is feeling like it doesn't
believe it my mind doesn't believe it I
can't actually physically take the pen
and write so there is some internal you
know self discipline and self
conditioning that one needs to do in
order to achieve the goal that they set
out for themselves and for me I have to
take two years to actually build up that
belief within myself and meditation
really happened help me become aware of
when negative thoughts will come in when
I would hear the thought Ronna you
you're not a writer you know what are
people gonna think about me
everybody everybody there's that stuff
right and how do you control that that's
self discipline and meditation is it you
know it's such a highly recommended
practice these days I mean it's becoming
more and more commonplace
you know CEOs are meditating you see it
a lot now basketball teams yes athletes
right everybody is and there's a reason
because it's powerful so I would say
that that's a real foundational practice
to help help us create that
self-discipline like I say if you want
to lose weight or you want it like you
know a strong physical body you go to
the gym and you do that every single day
meditation is the gym of your mind and
it's so powerful because if you
condition your minds then you can create
your life are you well-versed in the
Quran at all because I know you grew up
with that are you well-versed in that I
won't say I'm well-versed I did read it
and I read it through actually in
English but I'm not you know I'm not the
go to other are there any any scriptures
or whatever that that talk about like
whether it's meditation or the blessings
and stuff like that about like God
adding stuff to your life and you know
some of those universal principles are
they in there too I'm not I'm not versed
in it all but when it comes to the the
Bible I know it like the back of my hand
so I don't know those scriptures are
they there because I know it's universal
I know I know the same principles apply
absolutely universal right it's and
that's what iOS as a young child looked
at every single religion and and knew
they were all the same you get to the
core you know of Islam and at the core
of every single religion right it is
love right it's love it's goodness its
generosity its service it's all of those
things and for me those are the core
that's why I feel like you know we are
all one because we all at the core
believe the same things right we all
want to be happy we all want to be of
service we all want to be in value so
absolutely it's it's within the religion
and it's within the crunch let me ask
you this so what were some of the like
the early things that you that you've
seen versus I know you said you felt
that that inner knowing of I created
this and if I did I can create more and
I can kind of play with just a little
bit like what were some of the like the
early things that showed you that your
thoughts affected your reality what were
some of the aha moments or the
synchronicities and things like that you
know that actually come along with it
that just kind of you know I think early
on there is some room to play because
it's this it's just this game that goes
on I guess in your mind essentially that
shows you that everything is connected
that something is responding to the
thoughts and frequencies that you're
putting out there what were some of the
early things whether you want to call it
miracles or you know different
manifestations that you saw yeah I'm
gonna first start with you know
something that happened early in my life
wrote saying in high school that
taught me that the negative aspect of
jealousy so in the book I talk about the
power of ceilings and how there's
feelings there's a spectrum right
there's from fear all the way to love
and they all vibrate at a different
frequency and the closer you get to the
love vibration and healing love
gratitude the easier it is to create
positive things in your life but when
you're stuck down in the negative
energies such as fear and jealousy those
things actually harm you unless you can
you can change that enters the energy
harness that energy and focus it into
something positive so you know when I
and believe me I didn't really
understand any of this for most of my
life okay but when I was back in high in
high school there was um and I talked
about this in the book there was a girl
who I wanted to be friends with she
lived in my neighborhood and for some
reason I you know I could tell that she
really didn't want to be friends with me
and so and so anything that ever
anything good that ever happened to her
right from you know boyfriends -
whatever you care about in high school
every time somethin good happened to her
I would feel a sense of jealousy right
she doesn't deserve that
I know evacuates about it and and it was
a strong uncomfortable feeling within my
body and there was a moment in time
where I had created a vision in my head
of something that I wanted to happen for
myself and it was very clear of what it
was and it was very specific right and
it's a specific place and you know it
was very clear and I remember being in
school
in the classroom and watching my vision
for myself happened exactly the way I
dreamed it up to her and I thought oh my
god this can't be happening this is
exactly what was in my mental picture
but this is what I wanted for myself and
it just happened to her so for me in
that moment I thought okay there's
something strange happening here
there's something you know on this
metaphysical that created that and I
will never forget that moment because
that really starts his shift the way
that I thought about you know this
feeling of jealousy I think I then I
start to realize this is so detrimental
to my own self
there's nobody told me right and told me
this but I felt it in that moment and so
from then on I actually decided to test
for myself what happens if something
good happens to somebody else and the
moment I feel jealousy I force myself to
be happy for them even if I don't feel
it initially if I tell them I'm happy
for you if I speak the words then I'll
start to believe it and I started to
consciously from then on anything that I
wanted to somebody else received I would
go up to them be happy for them and it
became a practice and then it became
real for me and then I was genuinely
happy and as I started to do that and I
shifted the energy good things started
to happen to me and I knew and I didn't
really know the law of attraction or
anything back then but I knew that
energetically that by putting out love
gratitude a pretty you know these good
feelings instead of bad feelings that I
would receive something you know I would
receive the benefit of that so now with
something early on um yeah that's big
that's really big um and I think every I
would think that the majority I mean
that's something everybody deals with
and and that's something that you can
realize it's about knowing thyself right
that's one of the you know the key
principles in having a spiritual
practice as to know the things that make
you tick and being able to discern the
feelings and emotions and in the
scriptures it talks about like a taking
captive every thought that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God so these
beautiful thoughts are the knowledge of
God the thoughts that he has for you
it's beautiful you can apply it to your
life it helps your well-being so
anything that's like contrary to this
beauty you got to take it captive and
you have to cast it out
so these thoughts that come through of
jealousy of envy of like vengeance or
like wishing harm upon someone or
something but just a whole jealousy
thing like you're saying you this is a
feeling that comes with that thought
that thought pattern was just a thought
you think but it comes with the feeling
and emotion and you get angry for other
people getting blessed like they have
lost things and good things happening in
their life and you're getting angry like
that's something you can feel and you
can you should be able to cut that off
early and that's definitely like 101
learning how to have gratitude not only
for yourself and everything that you
have even your lack at times you know
just to be in that position of where you
are walking in an attitude of gratitude
but for to be happy and rejoice with
others whenever they have achievements
and blessings coming in in their life as
well that's it that's a big one yeah
yeah and I talked about if you can get
rid of one you know one feeling or one
negative emotion you know get rid of
jealousy number one number one right
it's you're harming others you're
harming yourself it's it's like a to a
negative exchange so absolutely and then
on like you had mentioned gratitude on
the opposite spectrum right a two-way
positive exchange his gratitude because
you are gratitude you're grateful for
what you were seeing as well as you're
grateful to whatever whoever gave it to
you and that you know if you practice
gratitude which you know I've been in
the practice of gratitude you will see
the power of the magic and brought it to
you I mean real magic you can wake up
and the day could be beautiful and sunny
and you can say I am so so grateful for
this day this happened to me I'm so
grateful for this day and it just
feeling so grateful and again this is
before I even knew about the power of
gratitude
I just felt grateful and then the next
thing I know the day was the most
fabulous day in terms of my interaction
with friends what happened and just all
the other subsequent events that
followed from that morning was fantastic
right
and again it's like that I'll have
moment how did this happen well because
I was feeling maybe it was because I was
feeling crowded too and so then I would
start to feel grateful for other things
and as I became more grateful for things
that I have
I found myself receiving more of what I
was grateful for right so little things
you know would come every once in a
while right we're supposed to learn when
we're supposed to learn and you know I
was learning about gravity before I
started reading about the power of
gratitude and it was so I was grateful
to realize that there was actually
something to it when whenever you're
starting with like the power of the mind
and learning the power the power of
thought and things like that
and I'm gonna say this because a lot of
people get into this I don't know if you
had that's what I want to ask you some
people get into like psychokinesis
telekinesis trying to move things with
their mind cloudbursting which is a
practice of like staring at the clouds
and concentrate concentrating on
breaking clouds up just to learn the
power of their mind and some people are
having success with this and I've done
it before like when it when all this was
brand new to me learning the power of
meditation and third eye concentration I
spent a lot of time trying that I don't
really do much of that anymore but I
remember of times like wanting it to
rain and speaking to the clouds and
commanding it to rain and like putting
that energy out and just totally focused
on it raining and then it would rain I
got close friends who did it with hail
it started hailing over their house and
all types of stuff like that have you
did you ever get into that at all where
it was into like some of the physical
manifestations of like controlling the
weather or moving things with your mind
you ever did you ever go down that path
at all I'll say I didn't intentionally
go down that path meaning that I want to
sit here and and test my superpowers and
create you know create a hailstorm but I
I do believe in controlling the web
that we have the power to do that and I
do have a story in the book about me
doing that and again it was more not so
much about you know I want to I you know
I want to test like my suit my superb
hours but I talk about in the book the
four step process to conscious creation
right you set an intention that you you
believe in right and you have a positive
feeling about it you said in an
attention you feel gratitude for it you
detach from it and then if you need to
take action you take action so about a
year ago I was went skiing in Park City
and you know we planned this whole trip
flying from the east coast to the west
coast to go skiing for the past few
years I would say five six years every
time we went skiing out west it was a
pretty dry season and this year I nobody
you know my husband was like why are we
spending money where we're gonna go out
it's not gonna even be good weather I'm
like let's just go let's just go so we
get into Salt Lake City and we're in the
car with a family it's 60 degrees in
Salt Lake City okay so now the mountains
are usually cooler but 60 degrees it's
kind of warm and it's raining and even
though we knew that that rainstorm was
gonna turn into snow we were expecting
them out maybe 3 or 4 inches at the
mountain we got there the weather just
was not you know the perfect ski
conditions but in my mind at that moment
I said I'm not letting my external
conditions really dictate how I feel I'm
not gonna feel disappointed I'm not
gonna feel any negative emotions I'm
gonna picture what I want and literally
within 20 seconds I pictured amazing
conditions perfect ski and we were
feeling happy and I let it go just let
it go right and so we got to the
mountain went to bed woke up the next
morning 18 inches of fresh powder okay
we were supposed to get three to four
got 18 inches and it was the best
conditions that they were saying at the
mountains of they have in ten years and
it was amazing there was no reason for
it and I'm like okay see this is this is
working
right and then it was predicted that was
gonna continue to sell for the week
and after two days even though I was so
grateful for the snow I thought to
myself you know I just want to get one
sunny day before we get home you know my
iPhone app it's not saying it's gonna be
sunny at all didn't matter I didn't feel
disappointed I said let me try this
again literally 20 seconds
had an intention visualized it in my
head what would it feel like to be
skiing with the Sun out and let it go
and the next day and about 1:00 p.m. the
clouds broke it was beautiful and sunny
my iPhone said it was cloudy it was and
and yeah do I believe that I did that I
do I do believe we have the power to
change the weather and I've had other
friends now who've read the book who
come and said the same thing to me
they're like I believe that - yeah it's
crazy cuz like it's like a universal
principle and you can use it for
whatever like if you want to use it for
creating your career and your life goal
and the things that seem so far away you
can there's there's practices in
meditation being mindful of the now
moment which is where the power lies in
meditation I'm just bringing every
thought to this now a moment is where
the power is to create to make these
decisions and things like that in
essentially get a game plan where you
kind of push everything out and focus on
what you want to do so that this was
powerful there some people can do it
with the weather or later you do it with
your finances or whatever or you could
do it just a little bit of everything
and the key thing here you know you know
even because I came from the corporate
world right and even whether you're in
the corporate world or you're an
entrepreneur or wherever you are you
have goals right they talk about
creating goals which is your vision for
your future it is your intention yeah
now the way to successfully achieve
those goals goals even if it is to have
a sunny day or for it to be snowing it's
to not doubt it don't feel doubt don't
feel disappointment and I know those are
natural feelings that come in but to
consciously create anything you want any
positive thing you want in your life you
have to be in
check of your feelings your you know
your emotions and your thoughts and the
moment you're feeling doubt or fear you
have to check that and you have to push
that away because those are gonna be
barriers to your creation you are able
to change the weather right because you
didn't doubt it you know you focused and
you believe that you were able to do
that you didn't doubt it and so that's
just a quick check for people if to ask
yourself and them in that moment how am
I feeling
am I feeling doubt in my feeling
disappointment am i feeling fear because
those should just be signals that okay
you know I need to move out of those
feelings I have to pass through those
feelings in order to reach to reach my
desire my goal that's that that's the
thing where people had to move passes
that fear and in faith or incomplete
odds or opposition with one another and
and doubt and worry and unbelief versus
faith hope and love and charity and
those things that we're walking in and
they kind of cancel each other out you
would think that it would be easier and
that the faith in like the the beautiful
stuff would just kind of like prevail
over all the bad stuff and the yucky
stuff in this self-doubt and depression
and loathing and things like that but
they really cancel each other out and
that's why the Scriptures are so
beautiful for me because it talked about
Jesus says that as a man thinketh in his
heart so shall we be and so whatever
you're thinking about which is you know
the thoughts your confessions the stuff
you're listening to the stuff you're
entertaining listening listening the
podcast like this listening to you know
you said you listened to it you you read
a lot of self-help books all of that
stuff comes into play with retraining
your mind in the way you think so that
it's it's gonna it's gonna change the
way you think I mean with McCann look at
so many different examples of people who
are who were raised one type of way and
then they kind of put their foot down
and and they worked the way they think
the things that in attending the life
and in in their pursuits and stuff with
that and then
scene change I know people who come out
of prison who've done this we've kind of
been in that that downward spiral their
whole life and then they made those
conscious changes and decisions to to
start you know eating better
entertaining healthy thoughts and
getting on a you know just a a healthy
game plan whether it's you know getting
into religion I mean there's some you
know I'm saying there's some there's
some religions and stuff out there that
that helps people find discipline for
their life I mean that's what it's about
it's about finding a healthy discipline
and so with spirituality just when I
mention religion it's not the key is not
religion the key is not you know having
a creed or something like that the key
is just taking those principles because
you could be in the religion and not
have any of these principles principles
that we're talking about and nothing's
gonna work for you just because you're
like you you give you acknowledge a
higher power you have to actually take
these steps in these principles and
apply them yourself to see this stuff
works and I guarantee you it works it's
universal it's not like you know
someone's you know more special or
they're selected or it just happened to
work work out for them it's for
everybody I've something seen in my life
and I've seen it in the lives of a lot
of other people and it's beautiful so
what's cool it's like you see the little
small things working at first you know
you know you made it stop raining or
whatever and then this other thing and
then you know you trust it with the
little small things and then you saw
asking for more you start believing for
more right you put the intention out
there and more and more starts happening
the scripture says if you're faithful
with the few I'll make you ruler over
more and you start seeing like the
little miracles start turning into big
miracles and big things in your life and
and seeing that platform begin to evolve
for you as well all of that for me it's
led by the inner intuition the guidance
system and something called
synchronicity you start seeing numbers
you start hearing phrases and and
meeting people and just insane
situations that that it just like crazy
coincidences that almost seem to would
have never happened without something a
higher power God
being behind it guiding your life what
are some of the synchronicities that
you've seen that I've just kind of you
know kind of blew your mind like I said
in the early stages this stuff is
foundational to you you know to know
that look there's something to it it's
not like there's things are coming
together things that happen and what are
some of the things you've seen early on
with like synchronicities yeah I would
say I experienced a lot of synchronicity
in the last couple years I mean you know
for me I was seeking my purpose right
and so once you are committed to finding
out what you're supposed to be doing and
you open yourself up you will get led
there you just can't give up it's not
gonna happen overnight you can't be paid
you have to be patient took some time
and when I you know realized okay I'm
gonna have I'm gonna be writing a book
and I believed that I could write it I
wrote this book in two months all the
words came out in two months
I actually saw in my mind or felt in my
mind what the year would look like you
know and I in my mind my inner guidance
told me two months to write it you need
then to go find you know and editor
determine how you're gonna publish it
build your website and then the book is
gonna be out in the fall I I got all of
that from my inner guidance and from you
know and I could have worried about
everything because everything external
and Anna and there was a lot of worries
actually but I had to listen to the
words of my book which is beards gonna
paralyze you right these are not the
right emotions you need to save
discipline of focus put all your energy
into what you want to create put it into
your book put it into your work and I
had to make a discipline in a practice
of keeping my mind focus and so things
like you know how my editor came into my
life completely synchronous and
asynchronous city you know nothing that
I could have ever planned of how she
would have come in and she happened to
be somebody who routes
roads spiritual books ourselves who who
was very familiar with the materials of
the right person to do that
and many things like that small things
you know I was told that you know what
came up for me a lot was going to
Kundalini Yoga yeah I would went to a
Reiki session one day because I figured
why not I need all the help I can get
like clear up with energy and I go there
and and she's like you know what we've
been coming up for me for you and I said
I've heard that a couple times well I
went home you know and I live in New
Jersey and I was googling Kundalini Yoga
you can't find it everywhere it's not as
common it's like how a yoga yeah and you
know it just turns out that in my town
that six months prior a kundalini yoga
studio opened up and that place it's
phenomenal I you know I'm there every
single day that community of people are
so supportive and that again I accept
myself
I completely manifested this and I tell
you know tell the owner of the yoga
studio I manifested you because how did
how did this [Â __Â ] studio show up out of
anywhere you know in this town so things
like that I feel like when you are on
your path right you're gonna be guided
and it's gonna feel like everything
supports you like the universe supports
you yeah you know it's like that quote
you know once you make a decision you
know the universe conspires the support
yeah that's true so they were yeah so
there are many little things like that
and you talk about numbers right seeing
11:11 for me you know the number 14
seems to come be significant number in
my life and I would see that more often
like for example even the yoga studio
you add up the numbers of the the the
street number and it's 14 and they were
just there were things like that that
kept happening and you know when you
open yourself up to it and you become
aware and I look at it as awareness you
see signs like literal signs like a you
know I had a question in my head do I go
back in and take a finance dog or do I
continue down this path I knew I had the
decision to make and I see a bus come by
with a big sign on
take your path people telling me oh you
can do both and some people can that's
their path to do to do both I knew that
was in mine I have to take one or the
other and this big and I took a picture
of the bus and I think I've been posted
it I'm like you you know when you ask
for signs you ask for help you're gonna
see them you are aware there's a sense
of responsibility to man because you're
talking about this having this
discipline spiritual discipline
practical things that you can do to
achieve your goals right you have these
goals I think there's a lot of people
out there who want to do something they
want to be an artist they want to paint
pictures they want to do music they feel
like they have a book within them they
want to write a book as well and they
have everything they can see it they can
see themselves even doing the book
signing you know and how it would be to
make an income off of that book or
something that they create and bring to
the table
but the discipline is not there to
actually cause I mean you had the vision
but if you wouldn't have sat down and
and and picked up the pen or sat at the
computer and got ready to type and let
your spirit speak and just get all of
that out of you then you know we
wouldn't be having this conversation
about your new book it's something about
having those goals and dreams because
everyone has a dream you know even if
they've given up on it at some point
they had the dream they want it to do
something in this there's practical
things to do to actually sit down and
make it happen
one thing that I've talked about a lot
is that many people who are in the
creative flow and you know their mind
works with all of these ideas they want
to do a book I'm in this place I want to
do a book I want to write a new song I
add a new album I got a podcast I got to
interview someone I want to go on
somebody else's show and be interviewed
so there's all these things that I do
and I'm reaching I'm focusing on what
what's working but it's it's about
staying consistent with the things that
you that you want to manifest and not
get caught up because there's all other
types of ideas that that come through
their dreams they
could work they are a path that could be
manifested but it's about not getting
overwhelmed especially people who were
just really creative and he always got
new ideas and new thoughts so let me do
this
I've got so many friends who they don't
have the discipline because they they
want to do this and they start it for a
week or two and then there's a new idea
and they start that one for a week or
two they forget about this one and
they're just going back and back and
back and forth and all of its good ideas
it all of it could could work in the
future but they don't have the
discipline to stick with it is that can
you relate to that at all well there's
other things and ideas or let me be a
yoga teacher let me focus on this well
let me write another book let me open a
cafe a vegan cafe or whatever like those
type of things that come through how do
we stay consistent with it because
that's key for me it's consistency right
now yeah I love what you're saying
because you know as I was in my own
journey in my soul you know my search
for how does the world work how can I
manifest more often you know what I try
to emphasize in this book is that you
know manifesting creating your reality
is a discipline in a practice it is cuz
if it was easy right then we won't even
need to have this dialogue because
everybody would be defeated everybody
would be creating whatever they wanted
right but this it is it is critical that
we understand that it is a discipline
and in practice and it's very individual
in the sense that you know yourself you
know and you are the only one who's
gonna know how do I discipline myself
right so for mine style I I know what I
need every day now I would say find
foundational right foundational if I
were gonna say what I think is the most
easy and I don't wanna use the word easy
but the most effective and efficient way
right to create your own reality I would
say number one get into a practice of
meditation and do it every day can you
be disciplined and that's even if it you
know it's hard for the first you know
day week month can you stay in that
practice because you are so committed
you are so committed to achieving what
you say you want to achieve right so
you're just
tires have to be so strong that you can
master yourself and get rid of anything
that's going to distract you and that's
what discipline all is all about it's
all about right discipline isn't an easy
thing discipline is like literally
taking your entire being and saying I'm
focusing it in one direction and I'm
gonna do what it takes to get what I
want so yes it is it is it's a plan and
there are times where yeah we've all had
those experiences of things like getting
distracted like what about this what
about that maybe I should go into this
thing and it's almost like your
intellect takes over it's like well yeah
maybe I don't know if I really want to
do that but that sounds good that sounds
like an operon it's working for them if
it's working for them that I can try
Yeah right exactly and that's when it's
all it's so important to just go back
into a fight space and go into your own
hearts and say is that right for me is
that gonna take me off my path is that
is that where I should be going it's
going back and asking yourself rate your
own higher self you know get me back on
track what feels right for me so that
again is where I say get into a face of
meditation right and quieting your minds
because you you are the only one who
knows you yeah yep it works and
everybody has to get to that and I I
mean now that I can see it because it
totally happened to me it still tries to
happen I still want to get into all
types of stuff and like but uh like I've
been doing this podcast probably since
like 2010 right 2009 maybe and we
started out doing podcast but it was
always an off-and-on thing I may would
do a couple months on and then sit down
for six months and not do another one
and then do I would book maybe a month
or two of shows and it would get
momentum and then I would quit I would
focus on something else and this has
been off and on for years until probably
almost a year now maybe eight months of
just being consistent I'm gonna do a
show every week and I'm gonna do
multiple shows a week and let me just be
consistent don't let me do three shows
and then sit down for two months like
people are expecting something people
are going to show up as long as you
create
and so it's about getting serious in and
unconsciously doing it and from that
point where I've consciously told myself
look I'm gonna show up this is what I
want to do I'm going to create this I'm
gonna create my future through this a
platform that's gonna help people all of
this kind of stuff and I begin to speak
that stuff out I begin to meditate upon
it daily and then it just begin to
flourish the numbers like I go back and
look at my numbers and it's just like a
just like a stairs it's a ladder it's
going every episode there's more views
there's new people the supporters who
are coming out of the woodwork as people
are resonating with it it's insane but
if I was to stop and leave it and go do
something else which it's easy to do
them got to keep reiterating this for
everybody it would it would probably
dwindle down people would stop
supporting people would stop looking
forward to a new episode every week or
two three every week whatever whatever
it is for that particular week and they
would move on to something else but it's
about consistency is the key and that I
mean that's my hashtag right now
whatever it is man if you're into music
if you're into writing
finish it stick stick it out until it's
done if you're creating something and
there's there's nothing like that
feeling of creating and bringing
something into this realm that didn't
exist until you birthed it there's
nothing more fulfilling than that I
think if we're created by a god or
creator in that image of a creator it's
essentially us given the glory back to
that divine essence when we are in the
same image of a credit and we create as
well we create the life that we want for
ourselves blessings and and and and all
of these beautiful things that are added
unto us daily it's amazing um before we
go I know we only got a few minutes left
but you talking about Kundalini Yoga I
love when it comes to like having these
divine aesthetic encounters right
Kundalini I mean you say that word I you
know in I believe in the scriptures is
called the baptism of the holy spirit
the research that I've done I've done
Kundalini Yoga I've been in charismatic
churches whether this intense fire takes
over your body cleans you out this this
awesome feeling
and in the midst of that there's a lot
of divine appointments and angelic type
encounters have you ever had any
spiritual encounters with like the other
side where I don't know I don't know I
mean that I think the possibilities are
really endless when we're talking about
but have you ever had any any encounters
or anything like that with with with God
or the divine or whatever the case is I
think I think all of this is an
encounter with the divine that way
but anything that like man something's
coming through and it's it's you know
change in my life or whatever the case
is Wow well you know I don't know how
this book was written yeah I do know how
this book was written right for me the
book in it of itself words to come out
and to months non-stop I'm not a writer
the words were speaking to me directly
that to me was a and and there was a
powerful energy with me I can't deny it
yeah there was there was an energetic
force that I felt yeah for the entire
two-month process and when it was over
that for that that feeling went away
like I wanted back yeah right so so that
to me I think it is the biggest thing in
my life that's felt very powerful and
very connected to something much bigger
than myself
now as far as anything else I mean I
have on my website you know when I was
going through this period of seeking and
what am I supposed to be doing I did
leave my body twice which was you know
really fascinating for me I wish I could
you know do it on command it did happen
to me where I felt like I was just being
shown that I'm on the right path there's
something much more than this physical
world and it happened when I was
sleeping where twice in one year where
you know I left my body and I you know
went to my parents woke up in my
childhood home the first time and then
the second time you know went up and it
went up into space so those were some
crazy you know encounters that's all
very very real to me
and
and like I said I took that as you know
look you're on a path you're going in
the right direction
awesome yeah those things you know I
think everything increases when we're on
that path that you know the whole
synchronicity thing I would hate to be
like there's this thing about if we
should be led by those things like at
all time because sometimes like you said
that that feeling is not always there
you know and you do have to kind of walk
by faith and like know like the
principles that are working and even
though you don't feel spiritual all the
time even though it doesn't you're not
being led by you know numbers everywhere
you go and phrases and stuff you still
know what to do and it's beautiful when
it happens and one thing that happens
for me when I get ready to release an
album you feel that that you encounter
and that that you for you about all
writing it and then when it's time to
come out and you feel like this is the
perfect timing like the world needs this
like when I release this this the people
who who get this it's gonna change their
life and it's what I need to be doing so
I can really relate to that feeling that
you for you you feel like when you're
writing and then as time kind of moves
on you're like I want it to happen again
or for me I feel like man did I even
write that and like the work is so
beautiful I'm able to like you read your
own material and benefit from your home
work almost like you didn't write it
almost thought it was channeled but not
in a you know spooky channeling way
almost like that the inspiration came
through you the essence came through you
about what you needed to create people
are asking in the chatter some people
joining us late they want to know the
name of the book and where they can get

appreciate you coming on hanging out
with me let's do it again sometime soon
yeah absolutely thank you so much all
right you have a good one
you too Rana Xia ladies and gentlemen
I'm I'm being on manifestation like like
I said at the very beginning like it's
about manifesting the life that you want
for yourself creating it
abracadabra you know we talked about the
magical term I create as I speak
whenever the thoughts that we have in
our in our in our mind the thoughts and
visions we have within our hearts
whenever we speak those things out if we
if we're just holding these thoughts in
they're just gonna be cool ideas but
whenever you begin to speak them out you
begin to confess them you begin to tell
people about them things start to happen
that's part of the manifestation process
you speak to the things that are not as
though they were that's that's the
definition of faith in the book of
Hebrews man so being a person of faith
led by the spirit all of these things
come into play in our day-to-day life
and so these are some of the spiritual
principles and and things that are
tangible anyone can do this don't give
up on your dream whatever it is whatever
it was recapture that dream continue
confessing it thinking about it thinking
of creative ways to be an expression of
that energy to manifest it on the earth
and you could do it don't give up man
too many people have have have given up
and now you only live once man you know
so people are scared to fail people are
scared of a lot of people even here some
friends here they are that they're
scared of what their family's gonna
think my family I had a conversation the
other day with a close friend of mine
scared of what his family will think if
he starts to living his authentic life
and being who God created him to be it's
like he's scared that they're talking
about him I might listen they're talking
about you anyway and talking down about
you they have judgmental opinions and
all that stuff about you in a way so why
not receive the judgmental criticism and
people are talking down with a naysayers
while you're doing what you love to do
because they're doing it why you just
doing what you don't want to be doing
they're talking about you so why is that
holding you back
you can't live for other people's
acceptance if you live for their
acceptance you'll die to their rejection
and so you'll be living to please others
you'll play the role of a hypocrite the
hypocrite is not I told a friend today
man I got friends in most most of them
are like in Christianity and we're
talking about don't be double minded a
double minded man is unstable in all of
his ways Christianity and a lot of
people I know is breeding double
mindedness because they like music and
they have to act like they don't like it
they have to have to pretend I have a
friend of mine who he's involved in the
Christian rap community and if he posts
anything off on his Facebook wall or
they hear him listening to any type of
alternative music or whatever if it's
not gospel they put him through the
wringer and he gets depressed and beat
up and I said look bro you're not a
hypocrite because you listen to it
you're not a hypocrite because you
listen to secular music or you like
music that's not gospel I say you're a
hypocrite when you act like you don't
you're acting like you don't like it
look I'm telling you that's where I
found so much freedom when I finally
said look I liked it I like this and not
to be okay with your sin or okay with
with the bad stuff in your life or
whatever but no like it's not if it's
not hurting you then it's okay I don't
think that all secular music or just
because it's not Christian it's bad or
whatever yeah there's a lot of bad music
out there be careful what you listen to
listen to true seeker true singer
dot-com I put our music all the time
check out music that's that's good for
you but even my music is not
quote/unquote Christian best people who
think it is they listen to it and and
they can hear the biblical concepts and
stuff like that and some people still
think I do Christian music but being a
hypocrite is essentially someone who's
playing many roles someone who is in a
play wearing a mask and essentially the
Greeks would have a mask on that they
would turn it and there would be a mask
on each side and they were able to play
multiple roles in the in one play that
would turn the mask and in there the
mayor they turned the mask and then they
assumed the other role of this other
character
and so that's essentially what a
hypocrite is it's wearing a mask man and
being someone who who you aren't
there's things within us men there's
likes and dislikes and being authentic
to yourself being true to the person who
God created you to be
you guys know like my story I tried to
run from this stuff what I'm doing right
now I tried to paint it in a different
light
I tried to act like I didn't like
spirituality or meditation or yoga or
certain types of music that was more
spiritual versus gospel because I come
out of that realm and I was miserable I
would try to act like I didn't like this
stuff and go back to the church friends
and say hey will you guys accept me now
I don't listen to this I don't promote
that I don't do this and when I did that
like some of them would receive me back
but I just felt like a sellout man I
felt like I had to put on a monkey suit
like I had to go be somebody I wasn't to
be accepted by these people man and
inside man you you know I felt bad and I
felt like God was looking at me like man
what are you doing like I created I put
these desires within you you you like
this stuff for a reason you're
interested in these type of topics and
you want to understand the way the
universe works for a reason don't don't
you know live for these people's
acceptance don't do that and then that
was a that was a dark night for me
because I kept going back and forth back
and forth back and forth if I get rid of
everything man you know get rid of
anything that wasn't Christian you know
I'm saying like and there's a lot of not
the only one I know many people who were
called to be leaders in there on this
path and they're going through the same
thing and that path of you walking in
your authentic self is uh it's a journey
but that's what it's about it's about
being who God created you to be being
confident in that and walking it out man
this was such a beautiful episode man
she talked a little bit about jealousy
in the spirit of jealousy when we were
talking about that she's talking about
like you being happy when when bad stuff
happens to
to good people or to anybody other than
you yet you're happy when bad stuffs
happening to people you're happy because
you get the one-up on somebody because
you're jealous on them I always think
that gossip kind of runs in with that
spirit of jealousy we start talking bad
about other people because you're
jealous of their platform and you would
rather talk down about them and what
they're doing because it essentially
puffs you up and put you on a pedestal
especially when you're talking about
people and I'm saying this this is
definitely a principle but I know
there's also some wisdom in this about
warning people of certain individuals
and stuff like that so there is some
grace to it but um but overdoing it man
and like putting down other people so
that it makes you feel better or you
know that happened so much within
Christendom and even on the outer
fringes of the spiritual movement you
see that happening um one thing I wanted
to talk about about jealousy too is like
I had a friend of mine and I think you
know this friend he's definitely uh what
the Bible would call feeble-minded you
know what I'm saying I think he's got
some stuff going on but I remember he
did this thing one time man he uh he had
a problem with certain ministers that
did him wrong in the past path right or
didn't recognize that greatness within
him he would go to different churches
and stuff and be a part of movements and
he would think that they would share
that platform with him or whatever the
case was and um this guy's had a revival
as a preacher had a revival and he he
aired it on Facebook in YouTube or
whatever and there was a video that went
viral locally and even worldwide though
his wife went to the altar for prayer
this is a pastor's wife who had
something going some issue going on with
her body and and God healed her she
received a healing at this crusade or
whatever the pastor and his wife and my
friend was watching this and this talks
about the company you keep man my friend
was watching this and he got mad that
this lady got healed he got mad that the
pastor's wife got healed so mad that he
punched his computer screen and broke it
because he was mad that they had a
blessing it win their life and
this is like this stuff spiritual I
think that you know that that's not
healthy that's craziness that's actually
you know I don't think any debt that's
beyond for you to be watching something
on TV and then you know throw your
remote at the TV because something
happens you don't like or Trump comes on
TV and you throw your remote at the TV
versus just changing the channel or
something you know so but it speaking to
the jealousy man you know I think if
we're not careful it can happen in any
of our hearts um but it's a good thing
when it happens early maybe so that you
can feel the feeling when it comes and
you know like hey hold on why am i I'm
being a hater right now I'm being a
hater and you really are and you you
were happy that these that downfall is
happening to people you're you get upset
when good stuff happens and that energy
messes with you you're not gonna be able
to have nothing good because your energy
is so caught up and focused on
negativity or rejoicing when negative
things happen to other look negative
stuffs gonna happen to people people if
you do dirt you're gonna get dirt it's
you that would you reap what you sow
it's universal know that so if you're
out here doing dirt and doing bad stuff
to people bad stuff's gonna come but the
rain falls upon the just and the unjust
and so for you to be happy when bad
stuff happens to good people man that's
demonic essentially man you got it you
got to get away from that for real it's
about creating the I mean you should you
should got a rejoice man and and and
know that your time is coming to you
know learn would learn from what they're
doing is blessings are happening the
people may learn from it another thing
too and I kind of I'm kind of guilty of
this as well early on until you can kind
of know your motives and stuff and it's
all about the motives of the heart
nobody can see the motives but God right
you know you can go out here and wear a
mask you can talk to good talking and do
this and do that but god weighs the
motives and the intentions of the heart
God knows this stuff the universal power
the great I am knows everything about
you you can't hide anything from him
so a big mistake that a lot of people
make especially when people have been
overlooked when people have been talked
down or cast aside and I'm speaking to
the church because that's my experience
your experience could be on the
corporate level or at a job and being
talked about and made fun of on the job
or whatever the case says and so there's
this ambition that is created within you
sometimes to succeed in and make
something of yourself not based upon
your following the will of God for your
life but you want to succeed and do good
so that you can say AHA I told you so
look at me yeah I'll talk down about me
and said I would never make it I'll
never amount to anything now look I'm
somebody you have to be careful with
that because the mind is about is a
powerful tool you can create whatever
you think you can have whatever you
confess so you can be operating out of
hurt and be going down a path that
you're not supposed to be on and you
could be successful at it you could be
successful at things that God did not
ordain for you to do you can be
successful in relationships that you
probably shouldn't be and you create
relationships you know and and people
are left in the wake of those mistakes
you know people people are hurt I
remember man shoot I could look back at
my life and see the influence that I've
had over people over the years and
there's times where I was operating how
to hurt or I was operating out of
heartache or wanted to succeed just to
show them that I could you know and and
in that that's not good it's not healthy
and you will spend years doing that
creating something that God is not even
in even though it's successful even
though it's doing good you know you have
these people following you and you'll be
out there doing stuff and creating stuff
that you have no business doing I've
definitely been there I've been in
places where I'm just having to find out
who God called me to be in different
ways that I can walk in my authentic
self over the year this is a process
it's not overnight guys all the
everything we're talking about this is
tools and it could take you it could
take years I think that it it's a lot
faster it happens a lot faster in
people's lives when you can benefit from
the wisdom and what's working and we can
share examples and we can share trials
and tribulations with you that we went
through so you won't have to take those
tests again or when those tests come up
you know how to respond because you
already know the answers when you feel
that that judgment in your heart when
you feel jealousy you'll know okay this
ain't right I need to check that instead
of entertaining it you'll be led down
down paths and stuff and be successful
doing things that God didn't call you to
do and there's a story in the scriptures
just dinner with Jonah and how Jonah was
essentially running from God running
from God's call upon his life he was
scared of it essentially he wanted to go
kind of go down a path that was a little
bit more comfortable something that he
thought would be better for himself but
it wasn't God's perfect will for his
life so he's running from God and he's
in things he shouldn't be in he's doing
things that he shouldn't be doing he's
entertaining thoughts and and people in
situations he shouldn't be entertaining
and so it leads him to a place where all
this calamities coming after him because
God's seeking him out like God will do
he will move heaven and earth to pursue
our hearts and he does that so Jonah's
running from God he ends up getting on
this ship or whatever and there's storms
and waves and everything's coming
against the ship God's trying to get
Jonah I said look I'm chasing you man
quit running from me you can't run from
me there's no way you can go that you
can hide from me you can't hide from me
and so this is what God's saying and
many of you guys and many of you guys
have been in the same situation where
storms are coming against you stuffs
happening in your life you're trying to
run from God you're trying to pretend
that you're doing the right thing but
you know in your heart that idolatry has
sat in and and you have this this impure
motive about you that you're achieving
or you're following after so storms are
coming you're on this boat you're in
this situation you shouldn't be there in
the first place storms happening the
people are on the ship with this person
who's running from God that ship almost
sinks in capsizes they're in a storm
that God created a storm and the boat is
flooding it's sinking they're having to
throw their own personal belongings off
the ship too to keep the ship from
capsizing and Jonah comes to it he said
look man
the reason these storms are coming
against you guys is because of me
throw me off the ship you know it in the
story goes that Jonah's blowing off the
ship and the Whale gets any hides in the
belly of the whale or whatever the case
is and then God deals with his idolatry
and his ungodly belief system and all
that stuff but the thing about it is
you're thinking about yourself you're
thinking that I can repent I can just
turn back to God at any given moment and
you can he loves you we all accept you
back at any given moment but the people
around you man the influence that you
have is affecting the people around you
the people on that ship that almost died
they had to get rid of things they love
because of you they had they had that
their lives were interrupted because
you're somewhere you're not supposed to
be running from God I've been there I've
been there I've totally been there as
people who have been following me for
years and and and I'm trying to figure
out what God wants for me and then I'm
running from God or not wanting to deal
with the things in my heart the hurt and
the heartache and stuff and I'm in
places that are people follow me because
of I have it some type of influence and
I've you know led them down places that
they once I repent I'm back with God I'm
good these people are still there these
people are still trying to find their
belongings that they threw off their
boat they're still looking through the
water to find the things that they lost
and trust me you could repent you can go
back to God you can do your thing get
restored
then these people are still left in the
wake of your mistakes and that's that's
a powerful man to know that uh you're
not the only one who is affected by your
sin you're not the only one who's
affected by your choices you think your
choices is just between you and God
man what's done in the secret will be
brought to the light I don't care what
it is
okay people dealing with pornography
addiction people with secret drug
addiction and doing drugs without
telling their spouses and all types of
stuff that they're doing in the darkness
that they don't want to be brought into
the light and I'm telling you you have
to you have to live in the light man the
motives of your heart your intentions
your ambitions all of it walk in the
light as he is in the light man I look
at Lauren Hill man just some some years
ago she had this Awakening and stuff and
she did this acoustic album which is
powerful man died y'all need to listen
to the album or I'll watch the DVD and
on that lauren hill's unplugged MTV
Unplugged watch the DVD you can find it
on YouTube but it's so powerful she just
kind of comes to an end of her rope of
success and stardom and she just kind of
gives it up or whatever to just to seek
after God really and she's talking about
living in the light and in like the
tabloids and stuff they always wanted to
kind of seek her out and find secret
stuff on her so that so that so that
they can talk about her in the tabloids
or you know she's with this guy she's
dating this guy she's doing this she
doesn't like this or whatever so the
tabloids are always trying to find this
stuff so then she found out no she when
she was living in the light and she
would tell them things were trying to
leaked info yeah I got a new album out
yeah I just got married to this guy they
didn't want to touch it it wasn't
controversial whatever but eventually
she got it to a place of a piece because
she found out that like as long as I
live in the light and I'm not trying to
hide anything from anybody they can't
touch me you know I'm cool with my flaws
I'm cool with the with with the the
things that I do good like this is what
I do and and in the piece that she took
that she did she found in that it
essentially goes back to Jesus man
living in the light walking light as he
is in the light and they can't they
can't throw nothing against you because
you they don't have anything what you've
already talked about your downfalls you
already talked about your fears and your
failures and essentially it's a picture
of like Eminem in the movie 8 mile
they're doing a freestyle battle rap at
the end and he's like he just gives them
all he knows what they're gonna
gonna go at they're gonna go to he's a
he that that you know he's he's a white
boy from the trailer park he you know
his girls cheating on him he's got this
ain't working out his mom's on drugs and
all this stuff and then he puts it all
out there and he takes all the
ammunition away from the accusers
because he's walking in the light he's
cool with this flog this is this is me
it takes all their ammunition away man
so that's what that's what this about us
is about just being open with with who
you are don't hide anything from God
because you're gonna you're gonna be
like the Israelites walking through the
desert on something that could take you
what could it took them 40 years you
know and they were out there for a very
long time and you you could be haven't
you can have situations going on in your
life that could be you could be in a
season that could be up overnight
overnight it could be done because you
know what you got to do but you won't do
it because of pride you don't want to
apologize you don't want to say you were
wrong or whatever the case is so it
becomes the idol in your heart and God
can't take you any further until you
deal with that and this could last for
years guys I've dealt with idolatry on
my heart for like close to years but
like a year before in the past where
like I had something and God wouldn't
reveal anything to me wouldn't speak to
me until I dealt with that and I would
still try to go through the motions and
do Christianity and go to church and
stuff but I had unconfessed sand or I
had even personal sanctification things
going on in my heart that I didn't
address and uh and you that's the far as
you can go until you deal with that you
can't like wait for God to maybe tech
guide to tell you something else or
maybe he'll forget about that
conversation we had maybe he'll forget
about you know this whatever in my path
and many others it's been you know it's
been music really early on you know I've
I've been told to put music now for a
certain period of time and I said you
know that was a that was a no-no you
know God gave me music now you taking it
away so I went on this thing about music
and about
you know the that type of situation in
it and it's not like it's a universal
sin or a law that God creates but it's
an inward sanctification like musics not
bad even the type of music I listened to
it was Christian music but it was a
certain type and uh you know God you
know wants to take things from it's not
to take it so he could be me but he
wants to refine things within us he
wants to make sure that we don't exalt
the things above him above our
relationship above walking walking our
or calling out with him and so that's
what it's about it's not about him being
mean or wanting to take things from you
everybody has to deal with that that's
inward sanctification but then again you
have people who go through in inward
sanctification process where God tells
them I'll use an example this is just my
past and stuff I've dealt where but I
had a friend which this was the thing
with me of God the Holy Spirit tells you
stay away from gospel rap don't listen
to Christian hard music anymore I just
want you to listen to worship music
spend time with me leave it alone and
you're like no I can do it but anyway
God would speak to other people and tell
them that same thing you're worshiping
this type of music this music has become
idolatry you're idolizing these rappers
or these people in these bands and
you're you know you should be idolizing
Christ and in the work that I'm doing
and so I've had other friends in that
same situation well God will tell them
to quit listening to Christian rap music
so they go on a tirade and start telling
everyone God says don't listen to
Christian rap Christian rap is just
Christian rap it's that not God's not
telling every not God's not telling
everybody to quit listening to Christian
rap
he's telling you to quit listening to
Christian rap because you're holding it
above your relationship with him like
that's your go-to you're kind of
worshipping Christian rap that stuff has
become an idol for you and the Christian
rap thing is just an example that it can
be anything for anyone trust me like
anything in your mind and so but if you
have that inward struggle going on with
God and you had that communication
that's good he's not done with you don't
think that he's giving up on you don't
think that it's too late if that inward
struggle exists and you bear
witness without what I'm saying you're
on the right path you're on the right
path so just do what you know you're
supposed to do give up the things that
are killing killing you that's what the
word repent means to have a change of
mind have a change of heart you know if
something's killing you and it's bad for
you man you need to have a change of
heart about it you need to change your
relationship with it and that and so
those are examples but it can be
anything like it literally can be
anything it can be books it can be
movies it can be television shows
it could be relationships with people
jobs dreams and business anything man it
could be anything so do that inward work
man because that's what the spirituality
is about this is about what we're
bringing to the table so with that I'm
gonna say peace and Shalom I really
enjoyed this episode it was good I love
talking about manifestation and bringing
something to the table and creating the
life that you want for yourself I'm
still under I'm still in the business of
doing that and it I think we all are
put it that way I don't think you ever
arrive and you reach the final
destination I think it says inward
journey that we're all going through and
so there's there's tools and there's
things that help in meditation you know
yoga prayer music all that stuff kind of
comes into play with walking a spiritual
lifestyle so make sure you guys are
doing the inward work man if I think
that the majority of people know what
I'm talking about and I've noticed that
you think that you're the only one going
through stuff until you vocalize it and
once you vocalize it you find out oh hey
I'm not alone there's other people
having these these encounters and stuff
as well and they're going through this
this inward struggle too so make sure
you're doing the spiritual work I want
