Attraction Radio Network, which I'm so excited on it to
be a part of, or really am so. The first
part of my lifetime was inspiring others through my God.
I'd given musical talent, composing and performing, but I never
(01:04):
figured in my twilight years I'd be directly helping others
as a personal and spiritual servant of the creator of all.
Speaker 4 (01:11):

John Novella, author dot com, slash register Now Each week
I feature very interesting guests who had their own spiritual
awakening and connection to the universal consciousness and how that
connection acted as a catalyst.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
In their current lives.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
So I'm really excited about this week's guest Sylvia solan
am I saying your last name right, sol.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
It Solma solid solid, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Okay, Sylvia solid, Sylvia, Welcome to the as Within Without
Radio podcast. Now, Sylvia is a CFA. I had to
look that up because I didn't know, but it really CFA,
was am?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I right? When I looked it up? It's a chartered
financial analyst or is that right?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's correct? Yes? Right?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
And indigenously trained shaman, which for our listeners is a
spiritual healer between human in spirit worlds.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And is that correct as well? Or what's your definition
of the shaman.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The word shaman means to take something that's unseen and
help it to be seen. So I like that definition,
helping the unseen to be seen.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I think one of the exact translations is one who
knows as well, something like that. I read that somewhere
who knows?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
She has managed over one billion in assets while guiding
leaders and seekers to align wealth with purpose. With thirty
plus years of healing practice and expertise and psychedelic assisted therapy.
She has spoken at DeVos. I'm not sure if I'm
pronouncing that right. Maps in other global stages. Her forthcoming
books Soul Naked.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
By the way.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I love that it's kind of packaging instead of naked
soul soul, and I like that is being published by
Deepak Chapra. We have to talk about that. He's one
of my favorite guys. Anyway, reveals how Light's challenges can
become curriculums for awakening a master in the energetic realm.
She reads the energy of people in places to cut
(04:21):
through the noise and empower investors' companies in individuals to
leverage capital for transformative change. Well, Sybill, welcome, and that's
quite an interesting marriage of the business world in the
energetic spirit world. So tell the listener how you sort
of found that journey in your story.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I really loved your moniker for the Divine the Invisible Architect.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That really resonates. You know, if I were to choose
the descriptor of the divine and that would be definitely
one of my top descriptions. But that wasn't obvious to
me when I was growing up. I certainly had no
awareness that there was anything but this three D world
and being a human inside the three D world. And
(05:15):
I would have continued on that trajectory had it not
been for an unexpected and powerful psychedelic accidental psychedelic journey
when I was about nineteen years old, and up until then,
I had had some sense that there was something beyond
what we can see. I had a lot of dreams
(05:37):
with operations of angels, or I would have a repeating
dream where I was sort of flying through outer space
and I would feel the very reach of infinity, and
I would feel the vastness of infinity compared to my little, tiny,
little girl form. So I had these sort of inklings,
but it was really an accidental mushroom journey that pushed
(06:00):
me over the edge. I was a freshman in college
and somebody that I was friends with had actually gone
and picked some mushrooms from a nearby field, brought them
back and said, hey, I have a really fun idea. Everyone,
let's eat some of these and see what happens. And
I was very nerdy at this time in my life.
(06:23):
I might still be a nerd, and I had never
even been drunk or stoned or anything like that. This
is my first experience of altered consciousness. And we probably
ate a heroic dose some again somewhat accidentally, because we
didn't have a scale, We didn't really know what we
were doing, and we could have poisoned ourselves just as
(06:43):
easily as we had a psychedelic trip. And next thing
I know, I was catapulted into vastness, and I had
an immistakable realization that this lifetime is for us to
wake up, and that our thoughts create our reality, that
we are actually co creating this reality as we know
(07:07):
it by the way that we think, by what we feel,
and that the way that we're co creating it is
to create this perfect curriculum for awakening, and that awakening
is the purpose of a human lifetime. But that was
all in one night at nineteen years old, with no
teachers or reference points or integration or like, forget set
(07:31):
and setting, forget all of that. It was I just
got blasted off.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
So it wasn't It wasn't like you got your kool
aids by You don't mean that accident, but you mean
you took it to enjoy the trip and end up
being a very metaphysical experience for it, right.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, I mean if you Because I had no reference point,
I was sampling it as if it was going to
be you know, like I don't know, like we're going
to hang out and giggle a little bit like I
I did. I didn't even really know that psilocybin contains
within it this potential to open consciousness at the level
(08:08):
that it does.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's interesting because I'm not going to go off on
my tangency. We can talk about that later, but mine was.
I dropped some LSD after I was teaching at school
and went to my friend's apartment. And I had already
done psilocybin and LSD a couple of times, and so
I thought I knew everything, you know, But this time
(08:32):
I walked in and it started to come on to
me and somebody and I'm a musician, the jazz musician, classical,
and my friend put on Johann Sebastian Bach, who's one
of the most amazing composers of all time. And I
started listening to the music, and I went into a
different space than I never have. I was like an
outer space, and every note that Bach played was a
(08:55):
kaleidoscope of colors and a three D experience. Oh my god,
I heard music for the first time and understood that
music was the language of God. And so when I
came down from that whole thing, my whole viewpoint of
being a musician completely changed. I realized that I had
(09:16):
been blessed and this talent wasn't just to go out
in play some music and make people feel good. That
this was basically like a shamanistic experience.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You know, it's funny you should mention back because Michael
Polland in his book How to Change Your Mind, writes
about listening to a Bach concerto under the influence of
psilocybin that was very life changing for him.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yeah, this Chicado and Fuguen d minor, which is one
of Bock's amazing pieces. So anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I think I think it might actually be the same piece.
We'll we'll have to look that up later. I think
it's actually the same piece if I recall and these like.
There are many ways to access the dimension of consciousness,
and I always try to preface any talk about psychedelics
with this just being one tool in the toolbox. Absolutely,
(10:09):
they are a kind of hyper drive fast track tool
to open what I call the dimension of consciousness. But
that dimension of consciousness is available to us all the time,
and we can access it through many, many, many portals.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Absolutely, Yeah, I want to tell the listeners that that's
not you don't have to do it that way. In fact,
you also said a nice phrase, it's all through my
first book team just wal architect thoughts create reality, and
I even have a whole mentorship based on that whole content.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
And my new book is called Beyond the Architect.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I'll have to send you a once it comes out
of copy, and I want to get a copy of
your book too, because it sounds like we're in the
same space, on the same journey here.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
So it's interesting, you know, yeah, Tea, yeah exactly, So
continue on with your story.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
So you had that experience, and then yeah, I've had
that experience, and this is so long ago that there
wasn't like an Internet that was, you know, field of
information about how to navigate that kind of experience or
even how to integrate it.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
So I did what we used to do back from
the olden times, kids, is I got on my bike
the next morning and I rode my bike to the
bookstore because that's what we had, and I went to
the shelf that I had never gone to before, which
is the metaphysical shelf, and I tried to find a
title that resonated, and of course the one that jumped
(11:31):
out at me was Zen mine Beginner's Mind, because I
was a beginner, and I Suzuki ro she it's a
beautiful book. And so I opened that book as a
way of sort of beginning my first spiritual practice. And
I started meditating, and you know, and I was very
like I was cute naive at the time, like I
(11:53):
thought that if I meditated, you know, ten to twenty times,
that I could definitely achieve enlightenment. And I even I
used to do that kind of meditation where you would
hold the incense stick in your hand and wait for
the incense to burn down and you're supposed to like
achieve story before the incensetick was to the end. That
was one of my primary meditation practices. And you know,
(12:14):
one day I must have had like a tiny glimpse
of maybe the mind being like slightly quieter than normal,
and I I was like, oh, you know, it was
just a glimpse, but I was like, that's it. I've
achieved Satori now. And I actually called the local Zen
center and asked them if I could speak to like
(12:35):
their head Roshi, because I wanted to, you know, discuss
this enlightenment that I had experienced, and you know, was
met with the correct response, which was, oh, oh, you know, sweetheart,
that's just the very beginning of your practice. Why don't
you put you know, when you put like ten thousand
hours on the mat, and then we'll introduce you to
the head of our spiritual center, you know. But that's
(12:57):
really how it begins, right, Yes, yeah, I mean I
had no idea, and I think that's a beautiful thing.
Like if somebody had told my nineteen year old self
what awakening actually is and what it will ask of you,
I could have very well have said no, thank you
back then, you know, because it's such a profound level
(13:18):
of consent that it requires to awaken deeply in this lifetime.
And you know, in nineteen I was really just scratching
the surface. But I had enough curiosity then to make
what I would call like the spiritual search the centerpiece
of my life. And so for the first ten years
of my adult life, all the way until my early thirties,
(13:39):
it was pretty much the only thing that mattered to
me is what is awakening and ken ordinary people wake up?
Or is it something that's just meant for the avatars
that we read about in scriptures?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I had Neil Donald Walsh on about five weeks ago
and he told me his story because you know, he
wrote that book Conversations with God when one day God
spoke to him, and then that book sold five million
people and five million copies and he ended up becoming
this spiritual author and how he sold over forty million works,
and he spoke about how.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
God spoke to him, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Mine was interesting because I was only three years old
sitting in front of a TV. Now, how much critical
thinking do you have at three years old?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
GOOKU?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Right? But I was sitting in front of the TV
and I saw an accordion player and I realized, not
then but later on when I figured all this out,
that accordion was a keyboard and I was a keyboard
player composer in a past life. And so the voice
that spoke to me at three years old, I was
sitting with my parents said point to the TV. So
(14:46):
I kind of as a three year old, went like that.
So my parents went, oh, little Johnny, he wants to
play the accordion. So they started me on courding lessons,
which I didn't want to play. But I saw the keyboard.
But that blessed moment where that voice happened from the
invisible Architect, which I named later started my.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Whole musical successful musical career.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So I was blessed at three years old with that voice,
and I've had it ever since. Some people say I'm psychic.
I don't think it's psychic because I'm listening to a voice,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, gosh, that's such an interesting things, Like what does
it even mean to be psychic? I would like to
believe that we are all psychic and equal measure, and
it's about, you know, curating and cultivating that sensitivity. So
like in my book, I write about some of the
(15:43):
shamanic hacks, you know, I mean, I couldn't think of
a better word than hacks. I apologize for that. But
what are you actually doing in a session when you
are reading the energy of someone and trying to understand
and discern what's happening with that, which is really a
form of being psychic and so, but these things can
be taught, and one of the things that I often
(16:06):
do in my sessions is it's really important to see
how you feel in the presence of somebody. For example,
if you feel like a person is kind of boring.
That people are transmitting what they believe about themselves, and
so you can actually they're in our world. So if
you actually pay attention to what you're feeling instead of
(16:29):
labeling that as this person is boring, it's very interesting
if you start to say, this person must have a
self belief around boredom, and you get curious around that,
and you can see that just holding people without judgment
and looking at the energy field as it presents itself,
that doorways of perception begin to open up, where you
(16:50):
begin to see more and more and more of what
is between that person and them knowing themselves as completely
divine and connected source. You begin to see the veils
as they appear, and if you don't hold them in judgment,
you just witness them and you notice them. There's a
way that those veils just begin to lift, and that's
(17:10):
part of the healing process. And so people sometimes ask
me like, well, what is healing? And in my experience,
I don't if you agree with this, but I don't
think that the healing of the body is the primary
point of healing because we're all going to die, so
it's temporary. I think it's lovely and I'm glad I
have a healthy body, but that's temporary. The emotions, for sure, temporary,
(17:31):
like those those bitches be changing all the time. I mean,
you feel one thing one moment, I feel nice.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Spirit.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Mind, body is the hierarchy, and that's why doctors and
various practitioners only treat one over those true of those,
and they don't understand the human being is a human
being because of those three things. And when we incarnate,
we do have preverse scripts, and we do have the
veil of amnesia, and there are things to learn through
(18:01):
those trials and tribulations. But we can speed all that
up if we become I think you use the word sensitive.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
So it's like a radio station.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You know, you can't First of all, you have to
know there's a jazz station, and then you have to
know that you can tune into that jazz station to
actually download that program information. And so once we start learning,
everything is frequency, and we can start at tune ourselves to.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
The insal architect frequency. Oh my god, the whole world
opens up.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
In my opinion, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
So but you.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Say in your biography, then you started working how did
you get into the business world and investment and managing
assets and all that stuff, because it almost seems like
that's not where you would normally be headed.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, I mean I was. I was the most surprised
of anyone. I really didn't have any interest in finance
at all, and I would even say in some ways
I was kind of allergic to it. I always felt like,
you know, money was very far from spirit, nothing to
do with awakening. The pursuit of money was wrong, and
(19:19):
so I really avoided anything to do with investing or
finances throughout my twenties. And then I had like what
I would say was probably the most profound awakening experience
of my life when I was on a sabbatical in
India in my late twenties, and I had helped to
(19:42):
start a business in South America and I had sold
my part of it, and I was trying to figure
out what I was going to do after this, like
kind of my next chapter. And so the sabbatical was
really me looking for this next chapter in life. And
I had a very profound, classic, full like divine, feminine
awaken experience with a spiritual teacher in India, and I
(20:04):
thought after that awakening that I would remain in India.
I was preparing to write the letter to my mother saying,
you know we had you know, I had a good
run in America. I'm done with the West. It's not
for me because I didn't want anything other than what
I had in that moment. I had such a simple life.
(20:26):
It was really quite beautiful, and I didn't want anything else.
But as that awakening began to integrate into my system,
you know, a few weeks later, then I began to
hear what you could call voice of God or guidance
or whatever was coming through that channel. And what that
voice was saying was that it's that time of awakening,
(20:46):
is is it's finished on the planet by and large,
Like there might still be some avatars that are meant
to really live in the caves or live in a monastery,
but we really need awakening to come out of you know,
out of spiritual circles and integrate into the ordinary world.
And the guidance that I really started to hear was
(21:10):
awakening is ripe to pum into these areas that it
has not traditionally been able to touch, which is money, sex,
and power, and it's so important on our planet, that
we that we bring those things together, because that's where
everyone's getting into trouble. As far as I can tell,
it's like those are the main areas of trouble.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And so I felt there's a famous lyric that says
money makes the world go around, and love turns it
upside down.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, my husband always says a good one too. He says,
people and they care about two things. Money's the first one,
and I can't remember the second. And so this way,
I mean, we've deified money, especially in Western culture. That's
not so much the case for you know, there are
a lot plenty of cultures where that's not the case.
But if you look at like just straight up American culture,
(21:59):
in part, the pursuit of money and the pursuit of
wealth and the pursuit of status and the pursuit of
power is the dominant driving force in many, many people's minds.
And I had this weird little inkling that it would
be great to learn how to bring together the concepts
(22:21):
of awakening and the glimpses of consciousness to this realm
of money and how we invest and how we work
with money. But it was it was very, very far
fetched for me to have a guidance like that, because
again I had no background or training in finance at all,
but I trusted it, and I really, I really think,
(22:44):
especially if you have some younger listeners, like, it's really
important sometimes to trust these downloads or trust these visions
that you're given because they're sacred. And so the clues
that I got at the time were it's your karma
to go work with money. I was like, Okay, that's crazy,
but I'm going to listen to that. And then the
second was this really clear understanding that my life purpose
(23:06):
was to love and and I think that that's another thing,
especially for young listeners, to really know what your life
purpose is. And the life purpose doesn't usually tend to
be like your life purpose isn't like to be like
a developer in Miami. Your life purpose is like a frequency.
It's a transmission. It's a signature of who you are.
And sometimes you may only feel feel your life purpose.
(23:28):
You may feel it as the frequency of your being
and who you are. What is the gift that you're
bringing to this world? And I could I could tell
from that young age that mine was was love. So like, okay,
so you're telling me that that I'm going to figure
out how to make investing conscious and also bring love
to bear in the world of money. I mean, it
(23:49):
seemed like completely far fetched. Yeah, fast forward all these
decades later, and that's that's what I've been endeavoring to do.
But I had to go and get trained then in
financial management to get the training.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
How did you get to and why did you get
to India? Because not where and where were you born
in the States?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yes, I was born in the States.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
More people don't normally just go to India and then
you know whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
No, no, no, most most people probably don't. But right
around the time that I had that kind of seminal
mushroom journey as a freshman in college, I went to
go and do an apprenticeship with an herbalist in Boulder, Colorado,
And I was living in Boulder for the summer and
one day I was sitting in the Boulder Public Library
(24:40):
and I opened up a magazine article which was an
interview with a woman whose name is Gongaji. She's a
spiritual teacher who still is alive today. She's in her
eighties now. And I was transfixed by Gongaji's words because
as soon as I read this article, I felt my
mind get very, very very quiet, and I felt still
miss inside of me. And a couple of weeks later,
(25:01):
she was speaking in Bolder and I went and I
sat at her feet, and I was like, wow, I
really I met my master. I met my teacher. And
Ganghaji teaching is in the lineage of Advita Vedanta. So
advite to Vedanta, one of the great stages of India
was a man named ramin A Maharshi. He died in
nineteen fifty. But there was another teacher that he trained
(25:24):
or he taught, whose name was Papaji. And Papagi died
in the nineteen nineties, but Ganghaji was his direct student.
She's an American woman, but she was papagi student. And
so I had been initiated into this lineage of Advitea Vedanta.
And the purpose of going to India was to go
and visit the Ashrom of Ramana Maharshi. When I got there,
(25:47):
I thought, I thought I would stay at the Ashrom
for maybe two weeks and then I would travel around
India and just be a tourist. And I never left
the Ashrom. I literally never left until the day I
had to go back to the States.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
All your guidance, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I mean that as Yeah, it's it's an incredible place
for spiritual pilgrims. If anyone ever has the chance to
go there, I always encourage them too. It is very
potent because it's at the base of a mountain called Arnachula,
and this mountains which means red hill, and this mountain
is a Shiva manifestation for the Hindus, and so they've
(26:28):
been doing a pilgrimage which is called production or they
walk around the base of this mountain and that that
they've been doing that pilgrimage for thousands of years. And
so every morning you wake up before dawn and you
walk around the base of the mountain as a form
of meditation. And it's just it's just a potent place
for spiritual practice because of all the history of that
mountain and that Ashrom.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I'd like to go there someday, do you know? Was
it two weeks ago? I had on the name Shri Pritashi.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
They there from their spiritual Indian gurus and they started
a movement called the Oneness movement all over the planet,
and so I had her. Her husband was supposed to
be on, but he wasn't feeling good, so she came on.
So she was really interesting and she's from India and
her name is Shri Pritashi.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
So I just wonder to know if you have run
into her over there, that's all.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, she was talking a little bit about that stuff.
So you ended up.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Then in a sense, you're kind of a shaman and
an investor rolled up into one. See I'm sort of
a shaman spiritual guide rolled up into music. But I
started off my career as a jazz musician, which is
a very spiritual high frequency. Classical and jazz are very
high frequency, and in order to play them at the level,
(27:51):
you have to really cess out what your inner world is,
and you have to be you have to get at
peace with your inner world in order to relax and
get into that zone. So you then channel this information
to the audience. And one of my experiences is one
night I was playing and I went outside my body
and had complete three hundred and sixty degree vision and
(28:15):
I'm watching my body perform and.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
It was the most amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
And then when I came back in, I came back
in when I got a standing ovation and people started
to clapping, and that made me come back into the body.
But that realization for me was this spiritual awakening that
I really was an eternal being that was living in
this body. And then from then on in I could
(28:40):
go into the zone and when I started to play,
I could instantly sort of become exterior to the incident
and play at my highest level.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Was pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Well, blit story, because what you're talking about is consciousness
becomes the musician, and I think we have an easier
time imagining how that's possible with music, but I'm saying
the same thing. You know, consciousness becomes the investors. It's
just yeah, it's just that most people are like that's crazy,
(29:12):
not possible, or like like I need an explanation, Like well,
I can try to explain, but it is like kind
of pointing to the moon, like it's better if you
just actually taste awakening and then you ask yourself, what
would Awakening do with this money, or what would Awakening
do with this business, or how would Awakening move through
this moment where I'm making these decisions around my capital.
You know, I don't know if you do you ever
(29:33):
follow the musician Jean Baptiste.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
I'm not necessarily followed, but I'm very well aware.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yes, yeah, I saw him perform at the Mantra Jazz
Festival last year, and I could just feel like he
is so tapped into source and so the transmission of
his music to me is so profound. And you know,
I don't know how that happens, like how does one
(30:00):
musician end up on stage like John Baptista and the
other doesn't the other one who really surprised the reasons
that I saw Taylor Swifton in concert and I left
that concert thinking she's one of the greatest Shamans of
all time, like literally, like I mean, she is a
grand master of energy, grand master they so much respect
for her.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Money is energy as it is anyway, and so if
you treat money as energy, you can add that spirituality
to it as compared to thinking it's just whatever. In
my opinion, you know it's energy. And when you become awakened,
whether you're an athlete, it's amazing. I can tell because
of my perceptions that started at three. As I told you,
(30:40):
I can tell when I meet somebody, I don't care
if it's an auto mechanic. I don't care if it's
a public speaker, a musician, or whatever. I can always
tell when they're they have hooked up in some way,
shape or form to source. And so then whatever there
hat is. I like that word, actually use that word
(31:01):
a lot. Whatever hat they chosen life, they're doing it
from an awakened connection to source. And I can always
tell that, especially with musicians. I can hear some people playing,
go yeah, he's got some chops and he can play,
but he's really not playing from the heart, as we say.
Sometimes he's not in that zone, and then I can
tell when the other ones are. And again going back
(31:23):
to Bach, it's interesting at the bottom of every manuscript
back used to put down for the glory and devotion
to God, every one of his manuscripts was.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You just reminded me of that. It's such an incredible thing.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah, And he's one of the most amazing and most
prolific composers of all time. So somehow he hooked up
at an early age and past life abilities and whatever,
and I think he was blessed. And then his music
he wanted to make sure he disseminated that not only
in Andrus music, but even by writing down the autograph
(32:04):
that way.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I think, you know, yeah, that's profound. It's so beautiful.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
So what's the enlightened perspective then?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
If you take money and awakening and putting them together,
what's your enlightened perspective then of money and its uses
in how business people and people that are making money
can have that more awakened viewpoint rather than just the
all right, The bottom line is I got to get
more leads and I got to make money. And my
(32:34):
business is this and excellent because most of it I
do a lot of one on one mentoring, and about
seventy percent of the people that I get are kind
of wealthy that I work with, and they have lots
of money, but boy, they are really deep trouble when
it comes to awakening this and spirituality. And I start
I start showing them how to a contact their real
inner world and be to hook up to source. And
(32:56):
it's a major realization for them because they don't think
that way.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Well, the question you're asking is like, how do you
connect consciousness or how do you connect awakening to money?
And there really isn't a clear formula for this, nor
should there be, right, So there's just some there's some
preceps or some tenets. And so one is is can
you see, as you said, there's an invisible architect behind
(33:25):
all things. So I think like like step one is,
can you acknowledge or recognize that there is a design
to this human lifetime, that there's a design to this planet.
There's an intelligence in this design, and that that intelligence
encompasses the totality. So you know, we think about like
(33:45):
you know, the God of large things, the God of
small things. It's the God of all things. And it's
not this like top down consciousness that's micromanaging a bunch
of little tiny things. It's that everything is infused with
the intelligence of God, and therefore it's like a symphony.
So speaking again in sort of these musical terms that
you're using, is is this is the symphony of creation
(34:08):
and it has such a beautiful design. So the first
step is can you actually acknowledge and accept that that
is the reality of this lifetime and that it is
a It is a total reality, not a partial reality.
It's not that you know, God is in charge of
the important things like when we're born and when we die,
(34:30):
and then there's this whole middle part of life that
is separate from God, has nothing to do with God,
So that totality is the most important piece. The second
component is to really take the time and the space
with yourself to develop that intimacy of connection to source.
(34:54):
And that's where we talk about the many, the many
doorways to source, the many doorways to consciousness, whether it's
through meditation, practice, or breath work or movement or ceremonies
or whatever. Nature is another really good one. Wherever you
find that connection back to source is really curate that
and begin to access the dimension of consciousness itself and
(35:17):
give that dimension of consciousness full command over your life.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Yeah. I call consciousness awareness awareness of being aware.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Awareness of being aware. I love that. And so if
you can do those two steps, everything is part of
the design, and I am available to wake up to
my part of that design, then you will receive the
operating instructions, the operating manual of how to be conscious
with your capital, and your instructions will be different from mine.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
That's interesting, because once you're awakened, it really doesn't matter
what your hat is. One thing I really, one thing
I tell people doing what I'm mentoring is is. You know,
we were given free will, and the Creator won't bypass
that free will. So we have to learn how to
(36:13):
invite that awareness of being aware of the Creator of
all into our lives. And when that happens, the most
amazing phenomena start happening, you know, whether it's serendipity or synchronicities.
And it's like you said, once you become aware of that,
it's just a phenomenal. I guess that word awakening is
a true a true word at that point, because you
(36:35):
really do feel awakened, you know.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yes, awakening is like a kind of alchemy. And when
I first had experiences of awakening, I thought that awakening
was going to make all the bad things go away
and would also make me like a better person generally,
like you just want to be like I wanted to
be like a person nobody could ever get mad at
and always do the right thing, and I wanted to
be like a super good person. Well, lo and behold,
(37:03):
awakening doesn't make the bad things go away, and it
also didn't make me a perfect person. What awakening has
done is provided a lens of alchemy to my life,
which I truly believe has helped me to circumvent suffering.
So I continue to have difficult, challenging things that happen.
They're part of my curriculum. And sometimes if something like
(37:26):
megabad or mega difficult happens, I'm not alchemizing that in
ten seconds. It might take me ten months. But I
have the framework for the alchemy of anything challenging. I
have the framework to alchemize it so that it doesn't
create unnecessary suffering in my life. That's where I really
feel like like awakening is a beautiful tool. First to
(37:50):
all curate.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Well, I had this lifetime. I've lost two wives, but
I had two incredible twenty year relationships a year and
then a second wife in another twenty years. And losing
that kind of loss and the challenges that go with it,
and this is a new it's a new handle that
(38:12):
I'm kind of assuming because people have given me the
handle of jazz philosopher because I'm a jazz musician and
here I am in metaphysics and philosophy. So it's a
good handle, and that's why I call myself the Jazz
Philosopher on this website. But the other day I realized
that just like alchemy is the burning off of impurities
and being left with the pure goal. There's a spiritual
(38:34):
alchemy that occurs each lifetime.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Instead of growth.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
My revelation that growth is really more of remembering our
divinity and so burning off the things that aren't us
is like a spiritual alchemy. So for the ale of it,
the other day, I had that revelation. So I went
on this to print, and I'm printed up some cards.
I haven't seen them yet, and I'm going to call
myself as spiritual Alchemist and so and somebody goes, what's that?
(39:03):
And will I help you achieve the best version of yourself?
And then of course I got my programs that's already
up and running.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
So I like the word ALP.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
If you have a business card, that's going to say
Spiritual Alchemist.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Alchemist yet I'm going to but right now it says
Elite Perfect Life Mentor, which is what my first book.
The subtitle is how to Design your Perfect Life from Within,
and that's why the podcasts within as Without, and that's
what I focus on. But then from my own experiences,
(39:36):
I realize that I've been walking towards my divinity and
remembering my divinity. Now you can call that growth because
as you purify and become who you really are, your
divine self, you are growing, but at the same time
you're growing, is really more.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Of a remembering who you are. In my opinion, what
do you think about.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
So you have a business card that says spiritual Alchemist.
I used to carry a business card that said spiritual Dominatrix.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Great. I don't know what kind of I don't know
what kind.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Of a picture I get from that, Almost like a
spiritual babe with high hills on and a whip.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
I think, I think what what that really means is
like sometimes it really does take discipline. Like I have
a signet ring, and in the signet ring it's inscribed
with a saying from one of my teachers, Gabrielle Roth,
and it says, it takes discipline to be a free spirit.
And and so so what that means is like awakening
is is not for is not for the hot half hearted.
(40:49):
It's it's it's it's a true path and it is
a profound path. And so it takes stamina and grit
and consistency and love. And so for me, that's that's
what we're here to do. And whether you consent to
(41:11):
wanting to wake up or not in your lifetime. That's
the free will that you're speaking about that we all have.
We do have the free will, and there's no better
or worse or good or bad. Like if you're not
interested in the spiritual conversation. And this sounds like psychobabble
tooth awesome, congratulations like it's great, just like change the channel.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Something different when you know what's interesting.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
It doesn't matter because we're all on each lifetime our
own I call it our own personal groundhog day. So
whether you live a skaty life, meaning you just skate
around and don't challenge yourself and don't remember your divinity
and don't have any interest in studying and improving yourself,
it doesn't really matter because when you cross over, you're
going to review everything and things are going to go.
(41:55):
So it's going to eventually happen. You can speed it
up during a lifetime, of course, but when you cross over,
you're going to go, oh okay, and then the veil
of amnesia starts all over again when you're ready to
do that. That's my opinion on the whole, on the
(42:16):
whole paradigm on how it works or not. So I
like meeting with people and then helping them speed up
their journey to their divinity.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
If you if you don't mind me saying, having designed
a life where you lost to beloved partners, pret.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
That's a fast track, that one, that one's that one's
definitely you were like, Okay, what am I going to have?
Speaker 1 (42:41):
I'll have speedy awakening place.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Well, you know my three things four things were self love,
a losing, two unbelieving because they weren't bad romantic relationships.
I was blessed with two fantastic virtual beings in my life,
and when I did a medium session after each of
(43:08):
them and ended up in fact, in my first book,
I met with eight well known mediums, and seven of
them my first wife came through with information that nobody
would know because I did it from a block phone
and nobody knew whatever.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
And I wrote a book about it.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
But the point is I did figure out that I
did script all these things, and the I remember one
day I woke up and I went, what was I thinking?
Because exactly it was so difficult going through this second one,
who I just lost four years ago, and I went,
oh my god, if I run into a third lady,
(43:45):
I'm going to have to have my attorney draw up
a little disclaimer saying, hey, the first two are with
the Lord right now, so don't hook up with me
unless you want to fast track your way to the
other side.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
All right, then, ladies take note.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
But who knows, maybe the third one, if there's a
third one, will be my blessing. Because I always say
I've learned so much and have become such an incredible
better person from the spiritual alchemy that if I do
find somebody or I get sent somebody and it's meant
to be, they're going to inherit the best version of
(44:25):
me as compared to earlier versions because of what I went.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
Through, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
And I'm married to someone whose first wife passed away,
and I believe men like that are treasures because he
really lived till death do us part. So he's earned
his stripes in the realm of husband and marriage and family,
and so he has a depth that is unparalleled. And
(44:52):
I am actually feel incredibly grateful to his first wife
because they were together for over twenty years and she
did a really, really beautiful job of raising that man.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
I say about my second wife here because I was
the more spiritual one. She was the more family one,
so I was like looked at as the mentor. But
after she passed, and during the loss and trials and
tribulations of the loss, I went, you know what, you
were actually my mentor, and especially now that you passed.
(45:28):
And she used to even tell me a year before
she passed and she wasn't sick.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
She used to call me Jasmine. That was my nickname, Jasmine.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
I know your family has lived almost a hundred and
you probably got good genes with your body and you're
going to live a long time. But I just want
to let you know I don't think that's in the
cards for me. She knew, and I think when she
left she knew about what I was about to go through.
But it was a necessary step for me to go
(45:57):
to my next level.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
You know. So wow, God bless.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
So as within as without. The reason why I call
it this is because you said it earlier. Thoughts create reality.
So I have a manifestation formula in my program called
be do have because most of the human beings have
it backwards.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
They have it have to be.
Speaker 3 (46:23):
You know, if I had this, I'd be able to
do this and I could be somebody, and I kind
of reverse that and say, no, no, no, you have
to be what you want to be. You have to
resonate with that frequency, which is your inner world, and
then you also have to hook up with Source. So
then the do is a combination of a co creation
between Source and you, and that creates your have And
(46:45):
so a lot of people come to me and they
give me their current circumstances, which is their havealth right,
and I say, well, you know, when you look at
a star, are you really looking at the star or
is the start looking at you? And they have to
think about it, and I go, well, it's one hundred
light years away. That means that light has traveled from
that star and is now, you know, coming into your retina.
(47:07):
So the circumstances in your life aren't really current circumstances
like you think they are. You've created and co created
these things a lot with your thoughts and beliefs. Therefore,
to uncreate them, we don't want to put our attention
on the circumstances when we want to put our attention
on raising our frequency and changing our be. Because we
(47:27):
change our be our inner world and that eventually creates
our outer world. What do you what do you think
about that from your spiritual viewpoint?
Speaker 1 (47:37):
Yeah, I totally agree. You know, sometimes there's that saying
like you can't dismantle the master's house with the master's tools,
you know, something like that, And so it's it's similar
like you're if you keep feeding the same preoccupied, worried,
stressed state of consciousness, it will continue to feed right
(48:02):
into the situation that you don't want. And I know
this from firsthand experience. I've been through tremendously difficult things,
like in the business world. I had some really big
challenges over the past couple of years, and I would
you know, I just I just fall right into it,
and I'd worry and I'd perseverate and I'd overthink, and
it didn't help anything. What actually helped was for me
(48:25):
to say, what am I being shown here? What am
I being taught, and really profoundly onboarding those spiritual teachings
for myself. And then when I had really alchemized and
digested what the teachings were for me, then I could
really release it and let it go and let it
play out as it was going to play without it
having distress me anymore.
Speaker 3 (48:45):
Exactly right, Yeah, and you're changing your be instead of
the shrink timeline concept of all I got to go
back into time and find out every fearful thing I've
ever did. Blah blah blah. I think there's a better way.
Well I know there's a better way because I use
it all the time. All you're gonna do is change
your be. If you have this be call it X.
(49:06):
I call it spiritual algebra. And X is creating these
decisions and doing this this, and then these circumstances. Then
just change X, change X to something else. Now it's
easier said than dunk beause you have to control your
thoughts because your thoughts create reality.
Speaker 4 (49:23):
So there's a whole program on that.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
Now that brings me into I was listening to something
you were talking about prayer, and I briefly had a
chance to listen to what you were saying because I
was really agreeing with it. Most humans concept of prayer
is more of a please, please, please, a begging a
concept that as compared to just becoming source in that
(49:50):
area and that frequency, which to me is a better
version of prayer. So speak to that, because you were
talking about that in this interview. I can't remember what
it was I didn't have a chance to listen to
the thing.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
Well, you know, you know the word abraka ancient Hebrew room.
As I speak, I create my reality. So prayer is
the way that we speak reality. It's a naming of reality.
And the best way to name reality is to be
grateful for what is. Period Like, if you can master
(50:24):
gratitude for reality and name it, that's like a superpower.
I agree, that's a superpower. So for me, that's yeah,
And it's like, the most powerful prayers for me are
the ones of just simple naming of what is and
saying thank you in the most plain way possible.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
Yeah, now, I call that.
Speaker 3 (50:52):
I try to differentiate for people to understand there's a
difference between gratitude, which is very easy to do if
something has already happened and then you have gratitude for it.
But advanced gratitude is a very high level frequency where
you're thinking source the invisible architect in advance for the
(51:12):
manifestation in the physical world that has not yet happened,
but it's in your world. So your inner world you
already have envisioned and you've already achieved this in your
inner world. Then of course, if you can keep that there,
and advanced gratitude really helps that, then that is showing
(51:32):
Source that you have faith because Source created everything. So
why couldn't it help you get a better job. Why
couldn't Source help you get a better relationship?
Speaker 4 (51:42):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (51:43):
But you have to have faith, and so I termed
it advanced gratitude. And it's one of the hardest things
for people to do because they can't differentiate between the
physical universe and their own universe. And that's why the
title of the radio podcast is as without When you
think about that terminology, you probably I think you just
(52:03):
said it in your own way.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Yeah, I know, it's it's it's beautiful and I you know,
even if like I've never practiced that before, I was like, oh,
I'm gonna take notes. Maybe maybe it's something I can
add to my own sort of spiritual toolbox. Is being
grateful for what hasn't even manifested yet. It's a beautiful prayer.
What the closest I think I've gotten to that is
like when something has just happened that I'm a little
(52:26):
iffy about, where I'm like, I don't know about this
is even in that moment to say, all right, I
don't know what you got in mind with what's going
on right now, but I'm going to preemptively assume that
this is a blessing. It's going to be a blessing.
I can't see the blessing right now, but I'm going
to count on this being a blessing and that that
(52:48):
prayer has saved my ass many many times.
Speaker 3 (52:50):
Yeah, well, that pushes it over the edge. I think
what you just said, that's almost like a I like
what you just said an interim gratitude. You got gratitude
for blah and then and then, and advanced gratitudes for
something that hasn't manifested yet. That's why there's a chapter
of my book called the Different Universes. And we have
to understand that the universe of reality is not our universe, right,
(53:13):
and so if you can create the reality that you
want to, creating a physical universe in your universe, and
have one hundred percent faith, then it will manifest. And
that's why I don't like the word law of attraction.
Instead of attracting, I think it's more a law of
reflection or the law of cause and effect.
Speaker 4 (53:35):
So if your b.
Speaker 3 (53:37):
Is your universe, it's already done, which is like in
physics they call that a postulate.
Speaker 4 (53:42):
You postulate something into.
Speaker 3 (53:44):
Existence, like let there be light is a postulate, not like, hey,
I hope I can create some light. I hope I
can get a better relationship. Hope is better, and goals
are better than not having them. But when you only
have hope or you have a goal, you're already in meting.
It hasn't been achieved yet. So when you get rid
of time and you postulate it and you have advanced gratitude,
(54:07):
oh my god, it's an amazing thing in your tool
box after a while. Fantastic.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
Actually, yeah, yeah, yeah, more of that place. I'm just
wondering where you're located. I may I may have a
really great potential future partner for you. You're kind of
you're resonating in a frequency that reminds me of a
woman I know who's currently looking for her life partner
and her soulmate. Oh she's lovely.
Speaker 4 (54:35):
I should never know how a serendipity thing happens.
Speaker 3 (54:40):
And you know, whatever the case is. I live in Franklin,
right outside of Nashville.
Speaker 1 (54:46):
Great, I mean she's based in Connecticut. That's not too bad.
Speaker 3 (54:50):
That's not too far East Coast. I grew up on
the East Coast and lived in Boston for a long time,
which is not far from there.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
So I've been I've been experimenting a little it with
matchmaking lately, because you know, I just I meet so
many people, and people like have a frequency, they have
a signature, like I was saying, when people want to know
what their life purposes, a lot of times it's a
frequency that you can feel. That's your life purpose is
to transmit that frequency. And so I really love this
(55:16):
game of like matching people's frequencies to each other. It's
really fun.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
Yeah, you know, you never know, you know, you can
always hook us up and see what happens, as long
as she signs my disclaimer and realizes that my last
two relationships are living with the Lord right.
Speaker 4 (55:34):
Now instead of here.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
Yeah, maybe maybe don't say that on the first state.
Speaker 6 (55:38):
Maybe or if she's very enlightened, she might go, Wow,
this guy's been through he's still alive, he's been through
two laws, he's probably have a lot of spiritual alchemy
has occurred.
Speaker 4 (55:54):
Maybe he's a good Maybe he's a good bet.
Speaker 1 (55:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (55:57):
Yeah, yeah, well we're getting near the end of our
time because I have to be under an hour.
Speaker 4 (56:04):
And is there anything that you.
Speaker 3 (56:06):
Want to say to our listeners about something that we
did cover a and then be how people can get
a hold of you because you said you do readings,
So do you have like a sort of a business
where people can meet with you and hire you one
on one to do various energy readings or what? No?
Speaker 1 (56:29):
No, no, I really I don't. I don't actually do
energy readings. I do have I do have a practice.
It's a pro bono healing practice that you know, I
offer sometimes services to people that you know, really our
need of some profound healing, but I don't really advertise that,
(56:50):
and like I said, it's just pro bono volunteer work
that I do know that the best way to just
be in my orbit is just to become a part
of my community. So for me, awakening is for the people,
by the people. It's we're in the time of the
community being one of the primary instruments of awakening where
we all get to mirror for each other and nobody
has the seat of the teacher. And so my community
(57:13):
is primarily through this newsletter which comes out twice a month,
and people can ask me questions on my websites. You
go to the Sylvia dot com it's Sylvia the why,
and you can ask any question. There are some of
those questions I actually do publish as answers that are
coming from visions. All go into a visionary state and
answer questions for people anonymously. Or you can just sign
(57:35):
up because you're curious about reading more about awakening and spirituality.
Speaker 3 (57:40):
And you just hearious again, spell it out because you
said it kind of thing, Sylvia, what.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Yeah, it's it's the Sylvia dot com.
Speaker 4 (57:47):
Oh, just Sylvia dot com.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
That's Sylvia.
Speaker 4 (57:50):
Oh, the Silvia dot com.
Speaker 1 (57:52):
That's Sylviae.
Speaker 4 (57:53):
So they get to the website and they can list.
Speaker 1 (57:56):
Subscribe to the to the you can subscribe to newsletter there.
There's tons of prior newsletters. Just I wanted to create
a place where people could land on the Internet where
they felt better about themselves and they felt seen and
they felt more love. And so it's like a try
I tried to crease. It's just a high frequency place.
Like if you're kind of bored and you don't want
to go on to social media for obvious reasons, go
(58:19):
hang out on my website for a while, and I
guarantee you're going to feel better. And there's even some
recorded music and just beautiful photography and things that people
can just enjoy.
Speaker 4 (58:27):
Fantastic.
Speaker 3 (58:27):
I'll put that in the notes and thank you so much.
Stay on the line because I do have to wrap
it up and then we can chat a little bit.
But I always like to end with this prayer. And
the prayer is perfect life within me. Come forth into
existence through me of that which I am, and lead
me ever down the paths of perfection that I've agreed
(58:49):
with and have been designated to me, causing me to
always see the good in everybody and everything. And by
this process the soul shall be illumined at with you,
the creator of all, and shall be at PC.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
So I'm really excited about this week's guest Sylvia solan
am I saying your last name right, sol.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
It Solma solid solid, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Okay, Sylvia solid, Sylvia, Welcome to the as Within Without
Radio podcast. Now, Sylvia is a CFA. I had to
look that up because I didn't know, but it really CFA,
was am?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I right? When I looked it up? It's a chartered
financial analyst or is that right?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's correct? Yes? Right?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
And indigenously trained shaman, which for our listeners is a
spiritual healer between human in spirit worlds.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And is that correct as well? Or what's your definition
of the shaman.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The word shaman means to take something that's unseen and
help it to be seen. So I like that definition,
helping the unseen to be seen.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I think one of the exact translations is one who
knows as well, something like that. I read that somewhere
who knows?

quite an interesting marriage of the business world in the
energetic spirit world. So tell the listener how you sort
of found that journey in your story.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I really loved your moniker for the Divine the Invisible Architect.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That really resonates. You know, if I were to choose
the descriptor of the divine and that would be definitely
one of my top descriptions. But that wasn't obvious to
me when I was growing up. I certainly had no
awareness that there was anything but this three D world
and being a human inside the three D world. And
(05:15):
I would have continued on that trajectory had it not
been for an unexpected and powerful psychedelic accidental psychedelic journey
when I was about nineteen years old, and up until then,
I had had some sense that there was something beyond
what we can see. I had a lot of dreams
(05:37):
with operations of angels, or I would have a repeating
dream where I was sort of flying through outer space
and I would feel the very reach of infinity, and
I would feel the vastness of infinity compared to my little, tiny,
little girl form. So I had these sort of inklings,
but it was really an accidental mushroom journey that pushed
(06:00):
me over the edge. I was a freshman in college
and somebody that I was friends with had actually gone
and picked some mushrooms from a nearby field, brought them
back and said, hey, I have a really fun idea. Everyone,
let's eat some of these and see what happens. And
I was very nerdy at this time in my life.
(06:23):
I might still be a nerd, and I had never
even been drunk or stoned or anything like that. This
is my first experience of altered consciousness. And we probably
ate a heroic dose some again somewhat accidentally, because we
didn't have a scale, We didn't really know what we
were doing, and we could have poisoned ourselves just as
(06:43):
easily as we had a psychedelic trip. And next thing
I know, I was catapulted into vastness, and I had
an immistakable realization that this lifetime is for us to
wake up, and that our thoughts create our reality, that
we are actually co creating this reality as we know
(07:07):
it by the way that we think, by what we feel,
and that the way that we're co creating it is
to create this perfect curriculum for awakening, and that awakening
is the purpose of a human lifetime. But that was
all in one night at nineteen years old, with no
teachers or reference points or integration or like, forget set
(07:31):
and setting, forget all of that. It was I just
got blasted off.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
So it wasn't It wasn't like you got your kool
aids by You don't mean that accident, but you mean
you took it to enjoy the trip and end up
being a very metaphysical experience for it, right.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, I mean if you Because I had no reference point,
I was sampling it as if it was going to
be you know, like I don't know, like we're going
to hang out and giggle a little bit like I
I did. I didn't even really know that psilocybin contains
within it this potential to open consciousness at the level
(08:08):
that it does.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's interesting because I'm not going to go off on
my tangency. We can talk about that later, but mine was.
I dropped some LSD after I was teaching at school
and went to my friend's apartment. And I had already
done psilocybin and LSD a couple of times, and so
I thought I knew everything, you know, But this time
(08:32):
I walked in and it started to come on to
me and somebody and I'm a musician, the jazz musician, classical,
and my friend put on Johann Sebastian Bach, who's one
of the most amazing composers of all time. And I
started listening to the music, and I went into a
different space than I never have. I was like an
outer space, and every note that Bach played was a
(08:55):
kaleidoscope of colors and a three D experience. Oh my god,
I heard music for the first time and understood that
music was the language of God. And so when I
came down from that whole thing, my whole viewpoint of
being a musician completely changed. I realized that I had
(09:16):
been blessed and this talent wasn't just to go out
in play some music and make people feel good. That
this was basically like a shamanistic experience.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You know, it's funny you should mention back because Michael
Polland in his book How to Change Your Mind, writes
about listening to a Bach concerto under the influence of
psilocybin that was very life changing for him.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yeah, this Chicado and Fuguen d minor, which is one
of Bock's amazing pieces. So anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I think I think it might actually be the same piece.
We'll we'll have to look that up later. I think
it's actually the same piece if I recall and these like.
There are many ways to access the dimension of consciousness,
and I always try to preface any talk about psychedelics
with this just being one tool in the toolbox. Absolutely,
(10:09):
they are a kind of hyper drive fast track tool
to open what I call the dimension of consciousness. But
that dimension of consciousness is available to us all the time,
and we can access it through many, many, many portals.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Absolutely, Yeah, I want to tell the listeners that that's
not you don't have to do it that way. In fact,
you also said a nice phrase, it's all through my
first book team just wal architect thoughts create reality, and
I even have a whole mentorship based on that whole content.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
And my new book is called Beyond the Architect.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I'll have to send you a once it comes out
of copy, and I want to get a copy of
your book too, because it sounds like we're in the
same space, on the same journey here.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
So it's interesting, you know, yeah, Tea, yeah exactly, So
continue on with your story.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
So you had that experience, and then yeah, I've had
that experience, and this is so long ago that there
wasn't like an Internet that was, you know, field of
information about how to navigate that kind of experience or
even how to integrate it.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
So I did what we used to do back from
the olden times, kids, is I got on my bike
the next morning and I rode my bike to the
bookstore because that's what we had, and I went to
the shelf that I had never gone to before, which
is the metaphysical shelf, and I tried to find a
title that resonated, and of course the one that jumped
(11:31):
out at me was Zen mine Beginner's Mind, because I
was a beginner, and I Suzuki ro she it's a
beautiful book. And so I opened that book as a
way of sort of beginning my first spiritual practice. And
I started meditating, and you know, and I was very
like I was cute naive at the time, like I
(11:53):
thought that if I meditated, you know, ten to twenty times,
that I could definitely achieve enlightenment. And I even I
used to do that kind of meditation where you would
hold the incense stick in your hand and wait for
the incense to burn down and you're supposed to like
achieve story before the incensetick was to the end. That
was one of my primary meditation practices. And you know,
(12:14):
one day I must have had like a tiny glimpse
of maybe the mind being like slightly quieter than normal,
and I I was like, oh, you know, it was
just a glimpse, but I was like, that's it. I've
achieved Satori now. And I actually called the local Zen
center and asked them if I could speak to like
(12:35):
their head Roshi, because I wanted to, you know, discuss
this enlightenment that I had experienced, and you know, was
met with the correct response, which was, oh, oh, you know, sweetheart,
that's just the very beginning of your practice. Why don't
you put you know, when you put like ten thousand
hours on the mat, and then we'll introduce you to
the head of our spiritual center, you know. But that's
(12:57):
really how it begins, right, Yes, yeah, I mean I
had no idea, and I think that's a beautiful thing.
Like if somebody had told my nineteen year old self
what awakening actually is and what it will ask of you,
I could have very well have said no, thank you
back then, you know, because it's such a profound level
(13:18):
of consent that it requires to awaken deeply in this lifetime.
And you know, in nineteen I was really just scratching
the surface. But I had enough curiosity then to make
what I would call like the spiritual search the centerpiece
of my life. And so for the first ten years
of my adult life, all the way until my early thirties,
(13:39):
it was pretty much the only thing that mattered to
me is what is awakening and ken ordinary people wake up?
Or is it something that's just meant for the avatars
that we read about in scriptures?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I had Neil Donald Walsh on about five weeks ago
and he told me his story because you know, he
wrote that book Conversations with God when one day God
spoke to him, and then that book sold five million
people and five million copies and he ended up becoming
this spiritual author and how he sold over forty million works,
and he spoke about how.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
God spoke to him, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Mine was interesting because I was only three years old
sitting in front of a TV. Now, how much critical
thinking do you have at three years old?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
GOOKU?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Right? But I was sitting in front of the TV
and I saw an accordion player and I realized, not
then but later on when I figured all this out,
that accordion was a keyboard and I was a keyboard
player composer in a past life. And so the voice
that spoke to me at three years old, I was
sitting with my parents said point to the TV. So
(14:46):
I kind of as a three year old, went like that.
So my parents went, oh, little Johnny, he wants to
play the accordion. So they started me on courding lessons,
which I didn't want to play. But I saw the keyboard.
But that blessed moment where that voice happened from the
invisible Architect, which I named later started my.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Whole musical successful musical career.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So I was blessed at three years old with that voice,
and I've had it ever since. Some people say I'm psychic.
I don't think it's psychic because I'm listening to a voice,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, gosh, that's such an interesting things, Like what does
it even mean to be psychic? I would like to
believe that we are all psychic and equal measure, and
it's about, you know, curating and cultivating that sensitivity. So
like in my book, I write about some of the
(15:43):
shamanic hacks, you know, I mean, I couldn't think of
a better word than hacks. I apologize for that. But
what are you actually doing in a session when you
are reading the energy of someone and trying to understand
and discern what's happening with that, which is really a
form of being psychic and so, but these things can
be taught, and one of the things that I often
(16:06):
do in my sessions is it's really important to see
how you feel in the presence of somebody. For example,
if you feel like a person is kind of boring.
That people are transmitting what they believe about themselves, and
so you can actually they're in our world. So if
you actually pay attention to what you're feeling instead of
(16:29):
labeling that as this person is boring, it's very interesting
if you start to say, this person must have a
self belief around boredom, and you get curious around that,
and you can see that just holding people without judgment
and looking at the energy field as it presents itself,
that doorways of perception begin to open up, where you
(16:50):
begin to see more and more and more of what
is between that person and them knowing themselves as completely
divine and connected source. You begin to see the veils
as they appear, and if you don't hold them in judgment,
you just witness them and you notice them. There's a
way that those veils just begin to lift, and that's
(17:10):
part of the healing process. And so people sometimes ask
me like, well, what is healing? And in my experience,
I don't if you agree with this, but I don't
think that the healing of the body is the primary
point of healing because we're all going to die, so
it's temporary. I think it's lovely and I'm glad I
have a healthy body, but that's temporary. The emotions, for sure, temporary,
(17:31):
like those those bitches be changing all the time. I mean,
you feel one thing one moment, I feel nice.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Spirit.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Mind, body is the hierarchy, and that's why doctors and
various practitioners only treat one over those true of those,
and they don't understand the human being is a human
being because of those three things. And when we incarnate,
we do have preverse scripts, and we do have the
veil of amnesia, and there are things to learn through
(18:01):
those trials and tribulations. But we can speed all that
up if we become I think you use the word sensitive.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
So it's like a radio station.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You know, you can't First of all, you have to
know there's a jazz station, and then you have to
know that you can tune into that jazz station to
actually download that program information. And so once we start learning,
everything is frequency, and we can start at tune ourselves to.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
The insal architect frequency. Oh my god, the whole world
opens up.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
In my opinion, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
So but you.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Say in your biography, then you started working how did
you get into the business world and investment and managing
assets and all that stuff, because it almost seems like
that's not where you would normally be headed.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, I mean I was. I was the most surprised
of anyone. I really didn't have any interest in finance
at all, and I would even say in some ways
I was kind of allergic to it. I always felt like,
you know, money was very far from spirit, nothing to
do with awakening. The pursuit of money was wrong, and
(19:19):
so I really avoided anything to do with investing or
finances throughout my twenties. And then I had like what
I would say was probably the most profound awakening experience
of my life when I was on a sabbatical in
India in my late twenties, and I had helped to
(19:42):
start a business in South America and I had sold
my part of it, and I was trying to figure
out what I was going to do after this, like
kind of my next chapter. And so the sabbatical was
really me looking for this next chapter in life. And
I had a very profound, classic, full like divine, feminine
awaken experience with a spiritual teacher in India, and I
(20:04):
thought after that awakening that I would remain in India.
I was preparing to write the letter to my mother saying,
you know we had you know, I had a good
run in America. I'm done with the West. It's not
for me because I didn't want anything other than what
I had in that moment. I had such a simple life.
(20:26):
It was really quite beautiful, and I didn't want anything else.
But as that awakening began to integrate into my system,
you know, a few weeks later, then I began to
hear what you could call voice of God or guidance
or whatever was coming through that channel. And what that
voice was saying was that it's that time of awakening,
(20:46):
is is it's finished on the planet by and large,
Like there might still be some avatars that are meant
to really live in the caves or live in a monastery,
but we really need awakening to come out of you know,
out of spiritual circles and integrate into the ordinary world.
And the guidance that I really started to hear was
(21:10):
awakening is ripe to pum into these areas that it
has not traditionally been able to touch, which is money, sex,
and power, and it's so important on our planet, that
we that we bring those things together, because that's where
everyone's getting into trouble. As far as I can tell,
it's like those are the main areas of trouble.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And so I felt there's a famous lyric that says
money makes the world go around, and love turns it
upside down.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, my husband always says a good one too. He says,
people and they care about two things. Money's the first one,
and I can't remember the second. And so this way,
I mean, we've deified money, especially in Western culture. That's
not so much the case for you know, there are
a lot plenty of cultures where that's not the case.
But if you look at like just straight up American culture,
(21:59):
in part, the pursuit of money and the pursuit of
wealth and the pursuit of status and the pursuit of
power is the dominant driving force in many, many people's minds.
And I had this weird little inkling that it would
be great to learn how to bring together the concepts
(22:21):
of awakening and the glimpses of consciousness to this realm
of money and how we invest and how we work
with money. But it was it was very, very far
fetched for me to have a guidance like that, because
again I had no background or training in finance at all,
but I trusted it, and I really, I really think,
(22:44):
especially if you have some younger listeners, like, it's really
important sometimes to trust these downloads or trust these visions
that you're given because they're sacred. And so the clues
that I got at the time were it's your karma
to go work with money. I was like, Okay, that's crazy,
but I'm going to listen to that. And then the
second was this really clear understanding that my life purpose
(23:06):
was to love and and I think that that's another thing,
especially for young listeners, to really know what your life
purpose is. And the life purpose doesn't usually tend to
be like your life purpose isn't like to be like
a developer in Miami. Your life purpose is like a frequency.
It's a transmission. It's a signature of who you are.
And sometimes you may only feel feel your life purpose.
(23:28):
You may feel it as the frequency of your being
and who you are. What is the gift that you're
bringing to this world? And I could I could tell
from that young age that mine was was love. So like, okay,
so you're telling me that that I'm going to figure
out how to make investing conscious and also bring love
to bear in the world of money. I mean, it
(23:49):
seemed like completely far fetched. Yeah, fast forward all these
decades later, and that's that's what I've been endeavoring to do.
But I had to go and get trained then in
financial management to get the training.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
How did you get to and why did you get
to India? Because not where and where were you born
in the States?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yes, I was born in the States.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
More people don't normally just go to India and then
you know whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
No, no, no, most most people probably don't. But right
around the time that I had that kind of seminal
mushroom journey as a freshman in college, I went to
go and do an apprenticeship with an herbalist in Boulder, Colorado,
And I was living in Boulder for the summer and
one day I was sitting in the Boulder Public Library
(24:40):
and I opened up a magazine article which was an
interview with a woman whose name is Gongaji. She's a
spiritual teacher who still is alive today. She's in her
eighties now. And I was transfixed by Gongaji's words because
as soon as I read this article, I felt my
mind get very, very very quiet, and I felt still
miss inside of me. And a couple of weeks later,
(25:01):
she was speaking in Bolder and I went and I
sat at her feet, and I was like, wow, I
really I met my master. I met my teacher. And
Ganghaji teaching is in the lineage of Advita Vedanta. So
advite to Vedanta, one of the great stages of India
was a man named ramin A Maharshi. He died in
nineteen fifty. But there was another teacher that he trained
(25:24):
or he taught, whose name was Papaji. And Papagi died
in the nineteen nineties, but Ganghaji was his direct student.
She's an American woman, but she was papagi student. And
so I had been initiated into this lineage of Advitea Vedanta.
And the purpose of going to India was to go
and visit the Ashrom of Ramana Maharshi. When I got there,
(25:47):
I thought, I thought I would stay at the Ashrom
for maybe two weeks and then I would travel around
India and just be a tourist. And I never left
the Ashrom. I literally never left until the day I
had to go back to the States.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
All your guidance, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I mean that as Yeah, it's it's an incredible place
for spiritual pilgrims. If anyone ever has the chance to
go there, I always encourage them too. It is very
potent because it's at the base of a mountain called Arnachula,
and this mountains which means red hill, and this mountain
is a Shiva manifestation for the Hindus, and so they've
(26:28):
been doing a pilgrimage which is called production or they
walk around the base of this mountain and that that
they've been doing that pilgrimage for thousands of years. And
so every morning you wake up before dawn and you
walk around the base of the mountain as a form
of meditation. And it's just it's just a potent place
for spiritual practice because of all the history of that
mountain and that Ashrom.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I'd like to go there someday, do you know? Was
it two weeks ago? I had on the name Shri Pritashi.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
They there from their spiritual Indian gurus and they started
a movement called the Oneness movement all over the planet,
and so I had her. Her husband was supposed to
be on, but he wasn't feeling good, so she came on.
So she was really interesting and she's from India and
her name is Shri Pritashi.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
So I just wonder to know if you have run
into her over there, that's all.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, she was talking a little bit about that stuff.
So you ended up.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Then in a sense, you're kind of a shaman and
an investor rolled up into one. See I'm sort of
a shaman spiritual guide rolled up into music. But I
started off my career as a jazz musician, which is
a very spiritual high frequency. Classical and jazz are very
high frequency, and in order to play them at the level,
(27:51):
you have to really cess out what your inner world is,
and you have to be you have to get at
peace with your inner world in order to relax and
get into that zone. So you then channel this information
to the audience. And one of my experiences is one
night I was playing and I went outside my body
and had complete three hundred and sixty degree vision and
(28:15):
I'm watching my body perform and.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
It was the most amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
And then when I came back in, I came back
in when I got a standing ovation and people started
to clapping, and that made me come back into the body.
But that realization for me was this spiritual awakening that
I really was an eternal being that was living in
this body. And then from then on in I could
(28:40):
go into the zone and when I started to play,
I could instantly sort of become exterior to the incident
and play at my highest level.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Was pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Well, blit story, because what you're talking about is consciousness
becomes the musician, and I think we have an easier
time imagining how that's possible with music, but I'm saying
the same thing. You know, consciousness becomes the investors. It's
just yeah, it's just that most people are like that's crazy,
(29:12):
not possible, or like like I need an explanation, Like well,
I can try to explain, but it is like kind
of pointing to the moon, like it's better if you
just actually taste awakening and then you ask yourself, what
would Awakening do with this money, or what would Awakening
do with this business, or how would Awakening move through
this moment where I'm making these decisions around my capital.
You know, I don't know if you do you ever
(29:33):
follow the musician Jean Baptiste.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
I'm not necessarily followed, but I'm very well aware.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yes, yeah, I saw him perform at the Mantra Jazz
Festival last year, and I could just feel like he
is so tapped into source and so the transmission of
his music to me is so profound. And you know,
I don't know how that happens, like how does one
(30:00):
musician end up on stage like John Baptista and the
other doesn't the other one who really surprised the reasons
that I saw Taylor Swifton in concert and I left
that concert thinking she's one of the greatest Shamans of
all time, like literally, like I mean, she is a
grand master of energy, grand master they so much respect
for her.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Money is energy as it is anyway, and so if
you treat money as energy, you can add that spirituality
to it as compared to thinking it's just whatever. In
my opinion, you know it's energy. And when you become awakened,
whether you're an athlete, it's amazing. I can tell because
of my perceptions that started at three. As I told you,
(30:40):
I can tell when I meet somebody, I don't care
if it's an auto mechanic. I don't care if it's
a public speaker, a musician, or whatever. I can always
tell when they're they have hooked up in some way,
shape or form to source. And so then whatever there
hat is. I like that word, actually use that word
(31:01):
a lot. Whatever hat they chosen life, they're doing it
from an awakened connection to source. And I can always
tell that, especially with musicians. I can hear some people playing,
go yeah, he's got some chops and he can play,
but he's really not playing from the heart, as we say.
Sometimes he's not in that zone, and then I can
tell when the other ones are. And again going back
(31:23):
to Bach, it's interesting at the bottom of every manuscript
back used to put down for the glory and devotion
to God, every one of his manuscripts was.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You just reminded me of that. It's such an incredible thing.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah, And he's one of the most amazing and most
prolific composers of all time. So somehow he hooked up
at an early age and past life abilities and whatever,
and I think he was blessed. And then his music
he wanted to make sure he disseminated that not only
in Andrus music, but even by writing down the autograph
(32:04):
that way.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I think, you know, yeah, that's profound. It's so beautiful.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
So what's the enlightened perspective then?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
If you take money and awakening and putting them together,
what's your enlightened perspective then of money and its uses
in how business people and people that are making money
can have that more awakened viewpoint rather than just the
all right, The bottom line is I got to get
more leads and I got to make money. And my
(32:34):
business is this and excellent because most of it I
do a lot of one on one mentoring, and about
seventy percent of the people that I get are kind
of wealthy that I work with, and they have lots
of money, but boy, they are really deep trouble when
it comes to awakening this and spirituality. And I start
I start showing them how to a contact their real
inner world and be to hook up to source. And
(32:56):
it's a major realization for them because they don't think
that way.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Well, the question you're asking is like, how do you
connect consciousness or how do you connect awakening to money?
And there really isn't a clear formula for this, nor
should there be, right, So there's just some there's some
preceps or some tenets. And so one is is can
you see, as you said, there's an invisible architect behind
(33:25):
all things. So I think like like step one is,
can you acknowledge or recognize that there is a design
to this human lifetime, that there's a design to this planet.
There's an intelligence in this design, and that that intelligence
encompasses the totality. So you know, we think about like
(33:45):
you know, the God of large things, the God of
small things. It's the God of all things. And it's
not this like top down consciousness that's micromanaging a bunch
of little tiny things. It's that everything is infused with
the intelligence of God, and therefore it's like a symphony.
So speaking again in sort of these musical terms that
you're using, is is this is the symphony of creation
(34:08):
and it has such a beautiful design. So the first
step is can you actually acknowledge and accept that that
is the reality of this lifetime and that it is
a It is a total reality, not a partial reality.
It's not that you know, God is in charge of
the important things like when we're born and when we die,
(34:30):
and then there's this whole middle part of life that
is separate from God, has nothing to do with God,
So that totality is the most important piece. The second
component is to really take the time and the space
with yourself to develop that intimacy of connection to source.
(34:54):
And that's where we talk about the many, the many
doorways to source, the many doorways to consciousness, whether it's
through meditation, practice, or breath work or movement or ceremonies
or whatever. Nature is another really good one. Wherever you
find that connection back to source is really curate that
and begin to access the dimension of consciousness itself and
(35:17):
give that dimension of consciousness full command over your life.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Yeah. I call consciousness awareness awareness of being aware.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Awareness of being aware. I love that. And so if
you can do those two steps, everything is part of
the design, and I am available to wake up to
my part of that design, then you will receive the
operating instructions, the operating manual of how to be conscious
with your capital, and your instructions will be different from mine.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
That's interesting, because once you're awakened, it really doesn't matter
what your hat is. One thing I really, one thing
I tell people doing what I'm mentoring is is. You know,
we were given free will, and the Creator won't bypass
that free will. So we have to learn how to
(36:13):
invite that awareness of being aware of the Creator of
all into our lives. And when that happens, the most
amazing phenomena start happening, you know, whether it's serendipity or synchronicities.
And it's like you said, once you become aware of that,
it's just a phenomenal. I guess that word awakening is
a true a true word at that point, because you
(36:35):
really do feel awakened, you know.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yes, awakening is like a kind of alchemy. And when
I first had experiences of awakening, I thought that awakening
was going to make all the bad things go away
and would also make me like a better person generally,
like you just want to be like I wanted to
be like a person nobody could ever get mad at
and always do the right thing, and I wanted to
be like a super good person. Well, lo and behold,
(37:03):
awakening doesn't make the bad things go away, and it
also didn't make me a perfect person. What awakening has
done is provided a lens of alchemy to my life,
which I truly believe has helped me to circumvent suffering.
So I continue to have difficult, challenging things that happen.
They're part of my curriculum. And sometimes if something like
(37:26):
megabad or mega difficult happens, I'm not alchemizing that in
ten seconds. It might take me ten months. But I
have the framework for the alchemy of anything challenging. I
have the framework to alchemize it so that it doesn't
create unnecessary suffering in my life. That's where I really
feel like like awakening is a beautiful tool. First to
(37:50):
all curate.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Well, I had this lifetime. I've lost two wives, but
I had two incredible twenty year relationships a year and
then a second wife in another twenty years. And losing
that kind of loss and the challenges that go with it,
and this is a new it's a new handle that
(38:12):
I'm kind of assuming because people have given me the
handle of jazz philosopher because I'm a jazz musician and
here I am in metaphysics and philosophy. So it's a
good handle, and that's why I call myself the Jazz
Philosopher on this website. But the other day I realized
that just like alchemy is the burning off of impurities
and being left with the pure goal. There's a spiritual
(38:34):
alchemy that occurs each lifetime.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Instead of growth.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
My revelation that growth is really more of remembering our
divinity and so burning off the things that aren't us
is like a spiritual alchemy. So for the ale of it,
the other day, I had that revelation. So I went
on this to print, and I'm printed up some cards.
I haven't seen them yet, and I'm going to call
myself as spiritual Alchemist and so and somebody goes, what's that?
(39:03):
And will I help you achieve the best version of yourself?
And then of course I got my programs that's already
up and running.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
So I like the word ALP.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
If you have a business card, that's going to say
Spiritual Alchemist.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Alchemist yet I'm going to but right now it says
Elite Perfect Life Mentor, which is what my first book.
The subtitle is how to Design your Perfect Life from Within,
and that's why the podcasts within as Without, and that's
what I focus on. But then from my own experiences,
(39:36):
I realize that I've been walking towards my divinity and
remembering my divinity. Now you can call that growth because
as you purify and become who you really are, your
divine self, you are growing, but at the same time
you're growing, is really more.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Of a remembering who you are. In my opinion, what
do you think about.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
So you have a business card that says spiritual Alchemist.
I used to carry a business card that said spiritual Dominatrix.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Great. I don't know what kind of I don't know
what kind.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Of a picture I get from that, Almost like a
spiritual babe with high hills on and a whip.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
I think, I think what what that really means is
like sometimes it really does take discipline. Like I have
a signet ring, and in the signet ring it's inscribed
with a saying from one of my teachers, Gabrielle Roth,
and it says, it takes discipline to be a free spirit.
And and so so what that means is like awakening
is is not for is not for the hot half hearted.
(40:49):
It's it's it's it's a true path and it is
a profound path. And so it takes stamina and grit
and consistency and love. And so for me, that's that's
what we're here to do. And whether you consent to
(41:11):
wanting to wake up or not in your lifetime. That's
the free will that you're speaking about that we all have.
We do have the free will, and there's no better
or worse or good or bad. Like if you're not
interested in the spiritual conversation. And this sounds like psychobabble
tooth awesome, congratulations like it's great, just like change the channel.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Something different when you know what's interesting.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
It doesn't matter because we're all on each lifetime our
own I call it our own personal groundhog day. So
whether you live a skaty life, meaning you just skate
around and don't challenge yourself and don't remember your divinity
and don't have any interest in studying and improving yourself,
it doesn't really matter because when you cross over, you're
going to review everything and things are going to go.
(41:55):
So it's going to eventually happen. You can speed it
up during a lifetime, of course, but when you cross over,
you're going to go, oh okay, and then the veil
of amnesia starts all over again when you're ready to
do that. That's my opinion on the whole, on the
(42:16):
whole paradigm on how it works or not. So I
like meeting with people and then helping them speed up
their journey to their divinity.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
If you if you don't mind me saying, having designed
a life where you lost to beloved partners, pret.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
That's a fast track, that one, that one's that one's
definitely you were like, Okay, what am I going to have?
Speaker 1 (42:41):
I'll have speedy awakening place.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Well, you know my three things four things were self love,
a losing, two unbelieving because they weren't bad romantic relationships.
I was blessed with two fantastic virtual beings in my life,
and when I did a medium session after each of
(43:08):
them and ended up in fact, in my first book,
I met with eight well known mediums, and seven of
them my first wife came through with information that nobody
would know because I did it from a block phone
and nobody knew whatever.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
And I wrote a book about it.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
But the point is I did figure out that I
did script all these things, and the I remember one
day I woke up and I went, what was I thinking?
Because exactly it was so difficult going through this second one,
who I just lost four years ago, and I went,
oh my god, if I run into a third lady,
(43:45):
I'm going to have to have my attorney draw up
a little disclaimer saying, hey, the first two are with
the Lord right now, so don't hook up with me
unless you want to fast track your way to the
other side.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
All right, then, ladies take note.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
But who knows, maybe the third one, if there's a
third one, will be my blessing. Because I always say
I've learned so much and have become such an incredible
better person from the spiritual alchemy that if I do
find somebody or I get sent somebody and it's meant
to be, they're going to inherit the best version of
(44:25):
me as compared to earlier versions because of what I went.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
Through, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
And I'm married to someone whose first wife passed away,
and I believe men like that are treasures because he
really lived till death do us part. So he's earned
his stripes in the realm of husband and marriage and family,
and so he has a depth that is unparalleled. And
(44:52):
I am actually feel incredibly grateful to his first wife
because they were together for over twenty years and she
did a really, really beautiful job of raising that man.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
I say about my second wife here because I was
the more spiritual one. She was the more family one,
so I was like looked at as the mentor. But
after she passed, and during the loss and trials and
tribulations of the loss, I went, you know what, you
were actually my mentor, and especially now that you passed.
(45:28):
And she used to even tell me a year before
she passed and she wasn't sick.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
She used to call me Jasmine. That was my nickname, Jasmine.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
I know your family has lived almost a hundred and
you probably got good genes with your body and you're
going to live a long time. But I just want
to let you know I don't think that's in the
cards for me. She knew, and I think when she
left she knew about what I was about to go through.
But it was a necessary step for me to go
(45:57):
to my next level.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
You know. So wow, God bless.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
So as within as without. The reason why I call
it this is because you said it earlier. Thoughts create reality.
So I have a manifestation formula in my program called
be do have because most of the human beings have
it backwards.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
They have it have to be.
Speaker 3 (46:23):
You know, if I had this, I'd be able to
do this and I could be somebody, and I kind
of reverse that and say, no, no, no, you have
to be what you want to be. You have to
resonate with that frequency, which is your inner world, and
then you also have to hook up with Source. So
then the do is a combination of a co creation
between Source and you, and that creates your have And
(46:45):
so a lot of people come to me and they
give me their current circumstances, which is their havealth right,
and I say, well, you know, when you look at
a star, are you really looking at the star or
is the start looking at you? And they have to
think about it, and I go, well, it's one hundred
light years away. That means that light has traveled from
that star and is now, you know, coming into your retina.
(47:07):
So the circumstances in your life aren't really current circumstances
like you think they are. You've created and co created
these things a lot with your thoughts and beliefs. Therefore,
to uncreate them, we don't want to put our attention
on the circumstances when we want to put our attention
on raising our frequency and changing our be. Because we
(47:27):
change our be our inner world and that eventually creates
our outer world. What do you what do you think
about that from your spiritual viewpoint?
Speaker 1 (47:37):
Yeah, I totally agree. You know, sometimes there's that saying
like you can't dismantle the master's house with the master's tools,
you know, something like that, And so it's it's similar
like you're if you keep feeding the same preoccupied, worried,
stressed state of consciousness, it will continue to feed right
(48:02):
into the situation that you don't want. And I know
this from firsthand experience. I've been through tremendously difficult things,
like in the business world. I had some really big
challenges over the past couple of years, and I would
you know, I just I just fall right into it,
and I'd worry and I'd perseverate and I'd overthink, and
it didn't help anything. What actually helped was for me
(48:25):
to say, what am I being shown here? What am
I being taught, and really profoundly onboarding those spiritual teachings
for myself. And then when I had really alchemized and
digested what the teachings were for me, then I could
really release it and let it go and let it
play out as it was going to play without it
having distress me anymore.
Speaker 3 (48:45):
Exactly right, Yeah, and you're changing your be instead of
the shrink timeline concept of all I got to go
back into time and find out every fearful thing I've
ever did. Blah blah blah. I think there's a better way.
Well I know there's a better way because I use
it all the time. All you're gonna do is change
your be. If you have this be call it X.
(49:06):
I call it spiritual algebra. And X is creating these
decisions and doing this this, and then these circumstances. Then
just change X, change X to something else. Now it's
easier said than dunk beause you have to control your
thoughts because your thoughts create reality.
Speaker 4 (49:23):
So there's a whole program on that.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
Now that brings me into I was listening to something
you were talking about prayer, and I briefly had a
chance to listen to what you were saying because I
was really agreeing with it. Most humans concept of prayer
is more of a please, please, please, a begging a
concept that as compared to just becoming source in that
(49:50):
area and that frequency, which to me is a better
version of prayer. So speak to that, because you were
talking about that in this interview. I can't remember what
it was I didn't have a chance to listen to
the thing.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
Well, you know, you know the word abraka ancient Hebrew room.
As I speak, I create my reality. So prayer is
the way that we speak reality. It's a naming of reality.
And the best way to name reality is to be
grateful for what is. Period Like, if you can master
(50:24):
gratitude for reality and name it, that's like a superpower.
I agree, that's a superpower. So for me, that's yeah,
And it's like, the most powerful prayers for me are
the ones of just simple naming of what is and
saying thank you in the most plain way possible.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
Yeah, now, I call that.
Speaker 3 (50:52):
I try to differentiate for people to understand there's a
difference between gratitude, which is very easy to do if
something has already happened and then you have gratitude for it.
But advanced gratitude is a very high level frequency where
you're thinking source the invisible architect in advance for the
(51:12):
manifestation in the physical world that has not yet happened,
but it's in your world. So your inner world you
already have envisioned and you've already achieved this in your
inner world. Then of course, if you can keep that there,
and advanced gratitude really helps that, then that is showing
(51:32):
Source that you have faith because Source created everything. So
why couldn't it help you get a better job. Why
couldn't Source help you get a better relationship?
Speaker 4 (51:42):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (51:43):
But you have to have faith, and so I termed
it advanced gratitude. And it's one of the hardest things
for people to do because they can't differentiate between the
physical universe and their own universe. And that's why the
title of the radio podcast is as without When you
think about that terminology, you probably I think you just
(52:03):
said it in your own way.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Yeah, I know, it's it's it's beautiful and I you know,
even if like I've never practiced that before, I was like, oh,
I'm gonna take notes. Maybe maybe it's something I can
add to my own sort of spiritual toolbox. Is being
grateful for what hasn't even manifested yet. It's a beautiful prayer.
What the closest I think I've gotten to that is
like when something has just happened that I'm a little
(52:26):
iffy about, where I'm like, I don't know about this
is even in that moment to say, all right, I
don't know what you got in mind with what's going
on right now, but I'm going to preemptively assume that
this is a blessing. It's going to be a blessing.
I can't see the blessing right now, but I'm going
to count on this being a blessing and that that
(52:48):
prayer has saved my ass many many times.
Speaker 3 (52:50):
Yeah, well, that pushes it over the edge. I think
what you just said, that's almost like a I like
what you just said an interim gratitude. You got gratitude
for blah and then and then, and advanced gratitudes for
something that hasn't manifested yet. That's why there's a chapter
of my book called the Different Universes. And we have
to understand that the universe of reality is not our universe, right,
(53:13):
and so if you can create the reality that you
want to, creating a physical universe in your universe, and
have one hundred percent faith, then it will manifest. And
that's why I don't like the word law of attraction.
Instead of attracting, I think it's more a law of
reflection or the law of cause and effect.
Speaker 4 (53:35):
So if your b.
Speaker 3 (53:37):
Is your universe, it's already done, which is like in
physics they call that a postulate.
Speaker 4 (53:42):
You postulate something into.
Speaker 3 (53:44):
Existence, like let there be light is a postulate, not like, hey,
I hope I can create some light. I hope I
can get a better relationship. Hope is better, and goals
are better than not having them. But when you only
have hope or you have a goal, you're already in meting.
It hasn't been achieved yet. So when you get rid
of time and you postulate it and you have advanced gratitude,
(54:07):
oh my god, it's an amazing thing in your tool
box after a while. Fantastic.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
Actually, yeah, yeah, yeah, more of that place. I'm just
wondering where you're located. I may I may have a
really great potential future partner for you. You're kind of
you're resonating in a frequency that reminds me of a
woman I know who's currently looking for her life partner
and her soulmate. Oh she's lovely.
Speaker 4 (54:35):
I should never know how a serendipity thing happens.
Speaker 3 (54:40):
And you know, whatever the case is. I live in Franklin,
right outside of Nashville.
Speaker 1 (54:46):
Great, I mean she's based in Connecticut. That's not too bad.
Speaker 3 (54:50):
That's not too far East Coast. I grew up on
the East Coast and lived in Boston for a long time,
which is not far from there.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
So I've been I've been experimenting a little it with
matchmaking lately, because you know, I just I meet so
many people, and people like have a frequency, they have
a signature, like I was saying, when people want to know
what their life purposes, a lot of times it's a
frequency that you can feel. That's your life purpose is
to transmit that frequency. And so I really love this
(55:16):
game of like matching people's frequencies to each other. It's
really fun.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
Yeah, you know, you never know, you know, you can
always hook us up and see what happens, as long
as she signs my disclaimer and realizes that my last
two relationships are living with the Lord right.
Speaker 4 (55:34):
Now instead of here.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
Yeah, maybe maybe don't say that on the first state.
Speaker 6 (55:38):
Maybe or if she's very enlightened, she might go, Wow,
this guy's been through he's still alive, he's been through
two laws, he's probably have a lot of spiritual alchemy
has occurred.
Speaker 4 (55:54):
Maybe he's a good Maybe he's a good bet.
Speaker 1 (55:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (55:57):
Yeah, yeah, well we're getting near the end of our
time because I have to be under an hour.
Speaker 4 (56:04):
And is there anything that you.
Speaker 3 (56:06):
Want to say to our listeners about something that we
did cover a and then be how people can get
a hold of you because you said you do readings,
So do you have like a sort of a business
where people can meet with you and hire you one
on one to do various energy readings or what? No?
Speaker 1 (56:29):
No, no, I really I don't. I don't actually do
energy readings. I do have I do have a practice.
It's a pro bono healing practice that you know, I
offer sometimes services to people that you know, really our
need of some profound healing, but I don't really advertise that,
(56:50):
and like I said, it's just pro bono volunteer work
that I do know that the best way to just
be in my orbit is just to become a part
of my community. So for me, awakening is for the people,
by the people. It's we're in the time of the
community being one of the primary instruments of awakening where
we all get to mirror for each other and nobody
has the seat of the teacher. And so my community
(57:13):
is primarily through this newsletter which comes out twice a month,
and people can ask me questions on my websites. You
go to the Sylvia dot com it's Sylvia the why,
and you can ask any question. There are some of
those questions I actually do publish as answers that are
coming from visions. All go into a visionary state and
answer questions for people anonymously. Or you can just sign
(57:35):
up because you're curious about reading more about awakening and spirituality.
Speaker 3 (57:40):
And you just hearious again, spell it out because you
said it kind of thing, Sylvia, what.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Yeah, it's it's the Sylvia dot com.
Speaker 4 (57:47):
Oh, just Sylvia dot com.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
That's Sylvia.
Speaker 4 (57:50):
Oh, the Silvia dot com.
Speaker 1 (57:52):
That's Sylviae.
Speaker 4 (57:53):
So they get to the website and they can list.
Speaker 1 (57:56):
Subscribe to the to the you can subscribe to newsletter there.
There's tons of prior newsletters. Just I wanted to create
a place where people could land on the Internet where
they felt better about themselves and they felt seen and
they felt more love. And so it's like a try
I tried to crease. It's just a high frequency place.
Like if you're kind of bored and you don't want
to go on to social media for obvious reasons, go
(58:19):
hang out on my website for a while, and I
guarantee you're going to feel better. And there's even some
recorded music and just beautiful photography and things that people
can just enjoy.
Speaker 4 (58:27):
Fantastic.
Speaker 3 (58:27):
I'll put that in the notes and thank you so much.
Stay on the line because I do have to wrap
it up and then we can chat a little bit.
But I always like to end with this prayer. And
the prayer is perfect life within me. Come forth into
existence through me of that which I am, and lead
me ever down the paths of perfection that I've agreed
(58:49):
with and have been designated to me, causing me to
always see the good in everybody and everything. And by
this process the soul shall be illumined at with you,
the creator of all, and shall be at PC.
Speaker 4 (59:03):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (59:04):
Amen.
