Welcome to Enlightenment UnknownLife of a Spiritual Nomad.
Join Reiki master and quantum healingexpert Wes Koons as he guides listeners
through the depths of self-discoveryand spiritual enlightenment to uncover
the version of you we haven't met yet.
Welcome to Enlightenment UnknownLife of a Spiritual Nomad.
(00:31):
My name is Wes Coons andwelcome back to the show.
And I tell you what, technology'skind of kicking my ass right
now, but we'll work through that.
I record these episodes and I put'em through a system that changes the
audio, makes it sound appropriate,and it's been deleting parts out.
So here we are.
I think this one's gonna work.
(00:52):
It's July 4th weekend and summer's infull swing, and I am excited to be here.
I forgot to say something.
I wanted to say thanks.
We broke 5,000 downloads not toolong ago, and that's really cool.
I wanted to say thank you forthat and welcome Hong Kong.
I hope you enjoy the show.
(01:13):
For the first time ever, I think I'vestruggled having something to say.
Right.
I know that might be a shock forsome of y'all, especially the
ones that know me personally,
but I, I've had this internalbattle and I don't like to record.
If I don't feel in alignment.
(01:34):
I don't like to record if I don't feel.
The energy of it.
And maybe that's why the other twoepisodes didn't quite come out properly.
I think I was recording just torecord, so I was watching something
on Facebook, , the little reels thatthey have, and it was a clip from
(01:56):
a, it was a clip from a movie andI don't know the name of the movie,
there's a priest on the stand and anattorney questioning him, and she says,
why do bad things happen to good people?
And the priest says, I prayed forstrength, and God gave me difficulties
(02:22):
to overcome for me to become strong.
I prayed for wisdom.
God gave me problems to solve.
I prayed for courage
and God gave me dangers to overcome.
I prayed for love and God gaveme troubled people to help.
(02:47):
And that resonated with me so deeplybecause the priest goes on and
says, my prayers have been answered,
I said, that's it.
That is the piece that I'vebeen angry with for a long time.
(03:08):
I. I want to be in love.
I want to get remarried.
I thought that personshowed up last year, right?
At least for a brief moment.
And the reality is God sentthat person to me for me to
go through what I experienced.
(03:28):
See, for the longest time I sat thereand said, oh, , this person broke me.
This person, this person, that'svictim energy, that's bullshit.
That person didn't do anything.
The reality is life happens forus and not to us, and when I got
past the lies that I told myself.
(03:53):
And looked at the honest truth.
The honest truth is I ignored red flags.
I chose to be in a relationship withsomebody who didn't fucking choose me.
I chose to allow myself toget destroyed by this person
(04:16):
because.
I didn't care about myself.
I didn't love myself.
I didn't respect myself.
I wasn't being authentic in my life.
So when you're with somebodyor you're around people.
That don't have respect for you.
You can't be angry with them fornot having respect for you because
(04:39):
I allowed myself to stay there.
The reason they didn't haverespect for me is because I
didn't respect myself the reason.
God answered my prayers.
The way he answered my prayers wasI needed to learn to love myself.
I needed to learn how to set boundaries. I needed to learn and understand what
(05:02):
love bombing is, what narcissism is,what being manipulated looks like.
Consciously understanding that.
See subconsciously, deep downinside, I knew what it was, but
it's just the behavior and theenergy that I was accustomed to.
(05:28):
I was accustomed to that manipulator.
I was accustomed to that liar.
I was accustomed to that stuff , inpast relationships, all the way back to.
Probably many lifetimes I've allowedmyself to stay in victim energy.
And when you're in victimenergy that comes in, and I
(05:51):
embraced it with both arms.
I'm like, thank you for being here.
And now.
I just say thank you for allowing me tolearn the lessons at such a deep level.
, there's so much freedom in that.
So that's what I wanted to talk abouttoday is how God answers your prayers.
(06:17):
And so, if you prayfor unconditional love.
Just hold on because you may bedrawing somebody in that's going to
help you learn how to love yourself,and that's gonna be painful.
I found that I don't get what I want.
I get what I need, and I appreciate that.
(06:38):
And as I go down this journeyof self discovery, that's
the whole program, right?
Enlightenment, unknownlife of a spiritual nomad.
You don't know what yourenlightenment process looks like.
You don't know what that journeyis gonna provide for you.
However, the more I work, thedeeper I go, the more I look
(07:02):
at myself in every situation.
That's when my vibrationincreases my energy, increases my
light.
That I carry increases.
I mean, if you really look at it, , ifI look, if you've listened to the story
(07:24):
from day number one, going throughthe haunted house, being picked up,
thrown against the wall in front ofthe priest, something crawling down
your throat, being just obliterated bythose demons, they couldn't kill me.
They couldn't take my life.
And according to that lady fromMadagascar, as long as I stayed
(07:49):
out of the house and didn't sleepthere, they couldn't do that.
But they could manipulate me, they couldhaunt me, they could push me to make a
decision to do something that's not sacredwith my body, and I'm not gonna do that.
Right.
(08:10):
So when I look at that, the,the last five years or so, how
many blessings have been there?
How many miracles showed up?
I mean, the miracle that I seein the demon and then the miracle
that I started to think, wow, , ifthat's real, then is God real?
(08:34):
And then the miracle of Linda showingup and Kathleen and Sandra Grace
and, , just all these beautiful, amazingpeople that showed up to help me.
I mean, those were all miracles, right?
Somebody said to me the otherday, and I hear this a lot, I've
listened to your story and I'mso sorry you went through it and.
(08:55):
My answer is I'm not, I'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry one bit.
No way.
Mm-hmm.
Nope.
I am grateful.
I'm not the West Coons.
I was six years ago because that guydidn't understand life at any level,
and I can promise you had that nothappened, I would be that same person.
(09:19):
I just would be, and I like who I am now.
And I like that I can look at mylife through clear glasses, not
rose colored glasses, and takeresponsibility for my actions and take
responsibility for the stuff I've done.
And, and , I've pulled away fromsome people and it wasn't right.
(09:41):
And there's some people thatI've pulled away from that
I've not made an amends from.
I have not made an amends yet.
And that's just the honestanswer, , there's no lie to that.
, . Not everybody wants to talk about God.
Not everybody wants to talk about Jesus.
And that's another aspect of myselfthat I've been battling with, right?
(10:03):
, I have this coworking space in Kempville,Kempville is in Virginia Beach, Virginia,
if you don't know where that is.
. I rent space to small businesses,and I had this lady reach out and
she said, Hey, I have a churchand I want to do a prayer group.
I'm like, okay, we can make that work.
(10:23):
And within 24 hours, she's tellingme that one of my top people is
channeling the devil just by walkingthrough the space and talking that
she placed apples on the counter andthe devil will go into the apples.
And when people eat theapples, they're then possessed.
And I'm like, , this organizedreligion doesn't work for me.
(10:46):
It's guilt, it's shame, it's manipulation.
. So we had a conversation andI'm like, look, have you, if
you wanna be here, be here.
You, your, your opinionsare not, , encouraged.
Okay.
, I don't wanna hear about it.
So she goes to move in and thenshe sends me this, this text
(11:06):
message in capital letters.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room.
Well, the space next to hers has a couplepictures of Buddha on the wall, and she's
letting me know how that's a portal tothe devil, how she's offended by it, and
just went on and on and on, and tellsme how she's my spiritual counselor
(11:29):
and this is what's bringingnegative energy to my building , and
I gotta be honest, I didn'thandle it wholly and spiritual.
I just texted her backand said, I don't care.
I don't care if you're offended.
I am not gonna take that downbecause you're offended.
It's been there.
That's what it is.
I'm like, we've got Catholics here,we've got Jews here, we've got
(11:52):
Buddhists . You can participatelike everybody else, or you can
leave and I don't care what you do.
So she ended up leaving the next day.
I gave her all her money back and gave hersome extra extra cash for moving money.
And I guess maybe I could havehandled the, I don't care better.
However, there's an aspect of whatshe was doing that's unhealed in me.
(12:15):
So that's what I'm looking at, right?
That's what we're talking about.
There's a, a piece of me that'sunhealed from the organized religion
of if you don't do this exactlythe way I say it, you're going to
hell, all these different things.
And I just don't believe that.
I don't believe that at all.
You know, I talk to God, I talk to Jesus.
(12:36):
I talk to Archangel Michael.
I have, if you haven't listened to it onseason one, episode six is where Jesus
shows him being crucified in front of me.
, I've been there.
I've touched his feet.
I know what that feels like, andthat's not what he preaches, right?
(12:58):
What I do know is this.
Is the energy and the loveI felt in front of that man.
I want that,
I want a piece of that.
I want to become theenergy that he carries.
(13:19):
And I don't know if I'm gonna get there.
I don't know if that's a realthing for me to elevate to
that level, but I do know this.
The answer is not outside of me.
It's inside me.
The answer is not in anger,manipulation, judgment, and hate.
It's in unconditional love, forgiveness,being honest with myself, being
(13:40):
authentic with myself, looking at asituation and saying, you know what?
I could have done better.
And I might not go to thatperson and make an amends, but I
sure have asked for forgiveness
see, this journey is so
wildly bizarre.
I love it.
(14:01):
I love it.
I love going through this journey.
I love looking inside and seeing.
Me change from eight o'clockthis morning till now.
I'm a different person.
I'll be a different person afterthis podcast because I've seen
something and I've healed it.
We've talked about a thousand times.
(14:22):
You can heal in a moment if youknow how to do so, and I love that.
Fun fact, I am now currently workingwith my friend, Kane McCandless.
She's gonna help me write thebook about the haunted house.
And I am super excited about that.
(14:44):
It's funny, she asked me all theseintense questions and I'm like, girl, I'm
gonna rely on you to give me directionand we're gonna do whatever you say,
'cause you've been there, done that.
This is what she does.
She's a amazing, amazing,talented, strong woman.
And she understands writing books.
She understands having them published.
(15:05):
And I just told her, I said,I just want it to be good.
, I've got the story.
It is true.
Now I want you to put your magicin it and write it for me, and
that's what we're working on.
So in, in my mind, in my mind, we'regonna be done next Tuesday, but I
don't know how long it's gonna takeand I'm just grateful to be here.
(15:28):
So those doors are opening.
It's funny, I just received a textmessage while I'm recording this from a
friend and she goes, how do you heal thestuff that you talk about all the time?
So I'm gonna tell her she's gotta listento the podcast to get the answer right.
Well, the first one's self-awareness.
(15:50):
, if you're not self-aware, if you'renot paying attention to the steps that
you make, the decisions that you make,even if it's a bad decision, hey, if
you're gonna make it and make it, don'thave guilt and shame, you know you're
gonna pay the consequences for it.
It's probably not gonnawork out well for you, but.
Who hasn't done that?
Who hasn't stayed somewhere longer thanthey should have past the expiration
(16:14):
date of a relationship, past theexpiration date of an employment
situation, or some version of that?
We've all done it.
Let's let go of the guilt and shame.
The second thing is youcannot play the victim.
Cut that bullshit out.
(16:34):
You cannot play the victim.
All right, let's just, let'sjust be done with that.
, my, my husband did this to me, or my wifedid that to me, or they did this to me.
Well, you were there.
You knew they weren't a good person.
You stayed.
You do have options, and I hear peoplesay all the time, especially in a
relationship, I don't have any options.
(16:55):
Yes, you do.
You just don't like the optionsthat are in front of you.
So stop saying you don'thave and come up with a plan.
I don't like the way I look.
Okay.
Go to the gym.
Yeah.
I can't, , I'm busy.
I'm this, I'm that.
Okay.
I don't like my education level.
Well read a book.
(17:16):
Oh gosh.
, I don't know.
I don't want to, I don't like my, myhusband, well, , he, he's not good to me.
Okay.
Well leave his ass.
Well, , I can't because I need himto pay the bills or something, bro,
I tell you what, get a roommate.
Scratch all that.
(17:36):
You cannot play the victim.
Let go of that victim energy.
, life didn't happen to you.
You didn't just end up in this spot.
Now I understand there's some peopleout there that are like, Hey, , I
got this disease, , I didn't doanything to get this disease.
Well, maybe, maybe it is a lesson thatyou signed up for before you came here.
(18:02):
Maybe it is a disease thatmanifested in your body
because we didn't learn how to healour feelings and emotions properly.
See if we go into it with victimenergy, oh my gosh, feel bad for me.
(18:23):
This happened.
You're not going to heal, and I canappreciate being pissed off about it.
I can appreciate beingfrustrated in that situation.
However you got a choice.
We always have a choice.
We can be a victim.
This happened to me and I don'tunderstand, or you know what?
(18:46):
I'm healing.
I am healing my body.
I don't have that C word disease.
I. I have healing work to do and Iam gonna do that, and I'm gonna love
myself, and I'm gonna experiencethe life that I have, and I'm gonna
experience these beautiful thingsthat I'm gonna go through with this
(19:06):
treatment and this healing journey.
And I am grateful to be alive today.
Victim energy can creep in.
If you're not paying attention,.
Pay attention to howyou look at your past.
(19:30):
, I was talking to a client, I don'tknow, about two, three months ago,
and she said, I listened to yourpodcast, and I am so sorry you went
through that sexual abuse as a child.
And I looked at her, I said, no,I, I'm not, I'm good with it.
She's like, yeah, but I said, no, IM,
no.
It made me who I am today.
(19:52):
It was an experience I was supposed toexperience, and I'm healing from it.
And I am comfortable in my skin today.
Right?
Or I could have said, yeah.
Gosh, that was so bad.
Mm. Yeah, it was bad.
It was fucked up.
I'm not negating that itwas this horrible thing.
(20:15):
. However, I'm stepping into my power.
I'm stepping into my energy.
I'm stepping into the leader, thewarrior, the healer that I want to
be, and that is an experience that Ichecked the box on that I learned it.
I'm healing from it.
I've healed a ton of it, andI can help other people heal
(20:38):
from that experience too.
And the third thing is releasethe attachment to whatever
it is you've got going on.
Release the attachment to the anger,release the attachment to what you want.
For example, I hear all thetime buy this program and we'll
(20:59):
teach you how to manifest.
Okay, let's do that real quick.
If your words align withyour actions, your heart.
The words that you say, the things thatyou think and you're not attached to
when you receive it, you're not attachedto anger about it or victim energy.
(21:20):
You can manifest it in a minute, meaning,
I want to go buy a new car, butyou're not going to work.
Yeah, I want to lose 25 pounds,but your mind keeps saying that one
sentence that has stuck with you.
(21:41):
I'm fat.
I'm fat.
I'll never have, right?
Who here besides me hashad that thought process?
See if a aspect of what you wanthas negative energy or doubt in it.
If an aspect of what you wantcarries that victim energy at any
level, you're not gonna manifest it.
(22:04):
So when you're asking for what youwant, . See it as received and move on.
If I receive the gift, that's great.
If I don't, that's great.
Life is gonna be fine for meand I'm just gonna move forward
,I am doing activities that take me towards receiving what I want.
(22:25):
But I'm not gonna sit there andsweat bullets on, gosh, it's Tuesday
and I haven't received it yet.
Would think it'll be here by Thursday.
It's been two years.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, it's not gonna come.
See, manifesting is easy.
Living life is easy when you startto realize that everything around you
(22:46):
is a direct reflection of yourself.
This is what we do.
This is what we talk about.
It's easy.
So when that person came to me andsaid, I'm so sorry for that stuff,
I'm like, Hey, I'm good with it.
Because if I had just chirped intothat a little bit, it would've
(23:07):
negated what I was working on.
We cannot just simply goback, then move forward.
That little bit backwards willdestroy what's in front of you.
I wish it could come back quickly.
It just doesn't.
I don't know how to make it happenthat way because when we go back, we
allow that little piece of victim,that little piece of that little
(23:31):
piece of that little boy or littlegirl that got hurt back inside of us.
We don't need that.
You know what?
You need to look in the mirrorand tell yourself, I'm beautiful.
I'm gifted, I'm loved.
I love myself.
I love this job.
, every step I take raises my vibration.
Every breath I take heals my body.
(23:53):
I love who I am today.
I love the fact that I am gonnago do something later today.
I don't know what it is, and there'sgonna be an energy ripple effect that
is gonna help somebody else becausemy positive energy and my positive
thoughts are going to change the world.
(24:13):
That's what I think about.
We have some reallycool guests coming back.
I know Fawn is coming.
She's gonna talk about her Ayahuascajourney, and I think she might actually
have some girlfriends come on on aseparate episode and we talk about that.
I've been debating.
(24:36):
With Kelsey about having free will.
So she's gonna come back when she evercomes back from her four month vacation.
And we're gonna talk about free will.
I've got some really greathealers coming here soon.
And you know what?
This summer is gonna be fantastic.
(24:57):
I remember last year I kept saying.
2024 is my year.
2024 is my year.
My brother died.
All these other things happened.
I'm like, God bless.
Okay.
But I kept saying 2024is gonna be my year.
And 2024 gave me everything Ineeded, not exactly what I wanted.
(25:22):
I am so grateful for those gifts.
I am so grateful for the experiences.
I'm so grateful for the love I receivedand the love that I give myself today.
So I will see you in about a week.
Enjoy your 4th of July.
It'll be over by the time youlisten to this, and be the miracle
(25:43):
that you're hoping to receive.

My name is Wes Coons andwelcome back to the show.
And I tell you what, technology'skind of kicking my ass right

I record these episodes and I put'em through a system that changes the
audio, makes it sound appropriate,and it's been deleting parts out.
So here we are.
I think this one's gonna work.
(00:52):
It's July 4th weekend and summer's infull swing, and I am excited to be here.

I know that might be a shock forsome of y'all, especially the

Enlightenment, unknownlife of a spiritual nomad.
You don't know what yourenlightenment process looks like.
You don't know what that journeyis gonna provide for you.
However, the more I work, thedeeper I go, the more I look
(07:02):
at myself in every situation.
That's when my vibrationincreases my energy, increases my
light.
That I carry increases.
I mean, if you really look at it, , ifI look, if you've listened to the story
(07:24):
from day number one, going throughthe haunted house, being picked up,
thrown against the wall in front ofthe priest, something crawling down
your throat, being just obliterated bythose demons, they couldn't kill me.
They couldn't take my life.
And according to that lady fromMadagascar, as long as I stayed
(07:49):
out of the house and didn't sleepthere, they couldn't do that.
But they could manipulate me, they couldhaunt me, they could push me to make a
decision to do something that's not sacredwith my body, and I'm not gonna do that.
Right.
(08:10):
So when I look at that, the,the last five years or so, how
many blessings have been there?
How many miracles showed up?
I mean, the miracle that I seein the demon and then the miracle
that I started to think, wow, , ifthat's real, then is God real?
(08:34):
And then the miracle of Linda showingup and Kathleen and Sandra Grace
and, , just all these beautiful, amazingpeople that showed up to help me.
I mean, those were all miracles, right?
Somebody said to me the otherday, and I hear this a lot, I've
listened to your story and I'mso sorry you went through it and.
(08:55):
My answer is I'm not, I'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry one bit.
No way.
Mm-hmm.
Nope.
I am grateful.
I'm not the West Coons.
I was six years ago because that guydidn't understand life at any level,
and I can promise you had that nothappened, I would be that same person.
(09:19):
I just would be, and I like who I am now.
And I like that I can look at mylife through clear glasses, not
rose colored glasses, and takeresponsibility for my actions and take
responsibility for the stuff I've done.
And, and , I've pulled away fromsome people and it wasn't right.
(09:41):
And there's some people thatI've pulled away from that
I've not made an amends from.
I have not made an amends yet.
And that's just the honestanswer, , there's no lie to that.
, . Not everybody wants to talk about God.
Not everybody wants to talk about Jesus.
And that's another aspect of myselfthat I've been battling with, right?
(10:03):
, I have this coworking space in Kempville,Kempville is in Virginia Beach, Virginia,
if you don't know where that is.
. I rent space to small businesses,and I had this lady reach out and
she said, Hey, I have a churchand I want to do a prayer group.
I'm like, okay, we can make that work.
(10:23):
And within 24 hours, she's tellingme that one of my top people is
channeling the devil just by walkingthrough the space and talking that
she placed apples on the counter andthe devil will go into the apples.
And when people eat theapples, they're then possessed.
And I'm like, , this organizedreligion doesn't work for me.
(10:46):
It's guilt, it's shame, it's manipulation.
. So we had a conversation andI'm like, look, have you, if
you wanna be here, be here.
You, your, your opinionsare not, , encouraged.
Okay.
, I don't wanna hear about it.
So she goes to move in and thenshe sends me this, this text
(11:06):
message in capital letters.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room.
Well, the space next to hers has a couplepictures of Buddha on the wall, and she's
letting me know how that's a portal tothe devil, how she's offended by it, and
just went on and on and on, and tellsme how she's my spiritual counselor
(11:29):
and this is what's bringingnegative energy to my building , and
I gotta be honest, I didn'thandle it wholly and spiritual.
I just texted her backand said, I don't care.
I don't care if you're offended.
I am not gonna take that downbecause you're offended.
It's been there.
That's what it is.
I'm like, we've got Catholics here,we've got Jews here, we've got
(11:52):
Buddhists . You can participatelike everybody else, or you can
leave and I don't care what you do.
So she ended up leaving the next day.
I gave her all her money back and gave hersome extra extra cash for moving money.
And I guess maybe I could havehandled the, I don't care better.
However, there's an aspect of whatshe was doing that's unhealed in me.
(12:15):
So that's what I'm looking at, right?
That's what we're talking about.
There's a, a piece of me that'sunhealed from the organized religion
of if you don't do this exactlythe way I say it, you're going to
hell, all these different things.
And I just don't believe that.
I don't believe that at all.
You know, I talk to God, I talk to Jesus.
(12:36):
I talk to Archangel Michael.
I have, if you haven't listened to it onseason one, episode six is where Jesus
shows him being crucified in front of me.
, I've been there.
I've touched his feet.
I know what that feels like, andthat's not what he preaches, right?
(12:58):
What I do know is this.
Is the energy and the loveI felt in front of that man.
I want that,
I want a piece of that.
I want to become theenergy that he carries.
(13:19):
And I don't know if I'm gonna get there.
I don't know if that's a realthing for me to elevate to
that level, but I do know this.
The answer is not outside of me.
It's inside me.
The answer is not in anger,manipulation, judgment, and hate.
It's in unconditional love, forgiveness,being honest with myself, being
(13:40):
authentic with myself, looking at asituation and saying, you know what?
I could have done better.
And I might not go to thatperson and make an amends, but I
sure have asked for forgiveness
see, this journey is so
wildly bizarre.
I love it.
(14:01):
I love it.
I love going through this journey.
I love looking inside and seeing.
Me change from eight o'clockthis morning till now.
I'm a different person.
I'll be a different person afterthis podcast because I've seen
something and I've healed it.
We've talked about a thousand times.
(14:22):
You can heal in a moment if youknow how to do so, and I love that.
Fun fact, I am now currently workingwith my friend, Kane McCandless.
She's gonna help me write thebook about the haunted house.
And I am super excited about that.
(14:44):
It's funny, she asked me all theseintense questions and I'm like, girl, I'm
gonna rely on you to give me directionand we're gonna do whatever you say,
'cause you've been there, done that.
This is what she does.
She's a amazing, amazing,talented, strong woman.
And she understands writing books.
She understands having them published.
(15:05):
And I just told her, I said,I just want it to be good.
, I've got the story.
It is true.
Now I want you to put your magicin it and write it for me, and
that's what we're working on.
So in, in my mind, in my mind, we'regonna be done next Tuesday, but I
don't know how long it's gonna takeand I'm just grateful to be here.
(15:28):
So those doors are opening.
It's funny, I just received a textmessage while I'm recording this from a
friend and she goes, how do you heal thestuff that you talk about all the time?
So I'm gonna tell her she's gotta listento the podcast to get the answer right.
Well, the first one's self-awareness.
(15:50):
, if you're not self-aware, if you'renot paying attention to the steps that
you make, the decisions that you make,even if it's a bad decision, hey, if
you're gonna make it and make it, don'thave guilt and shame, you know you're
gonna pay the consequences for it.
It's probably not gonnawork out well for you, but.
Who hasn't done that?
Who hasn't stayed somewhere longer thanthey should have past the expiration
(16:14):
date of a relationship, past theexpiration date of an employment
situation, or some version of that?
We've all done it.
Let's let go of the guilt and shame.
The second thing is youcannot play the victim.
Cut that bullshit out.
(16:34):
You cannot play the victim.
All right, let's just, let'sjust be done with that.
, my, my husband did this to me, or my wifedid that to me, or they did this to me.
Well, you were there.
You knew they weren't a good person.
You stayed.
You do have options, and I hear peoplesay all the time, especially in a
relationship, I don't have any options.
(16:55):
Yes, you do.
You just don't like the optionsthat are in front of you.
So stop saying you don'thave and come up with a plan.
I don't like the way I look.
Okay.
Go to the gym.
Yeah.
I can't, , I'm busy.
I'm this, I'm that.
Okay.
I don't like my education level.
Well read a book.
(17:16):
Oh gosh.
, I don't know.
I don't want to, I don't like my, myhusband, well, , he, he's not good to me.
Okay.
Well leave his ass.
Well, , I can't because I need himto pay the bills or something, bro,
I tell you what, get a roommate.
Scratch all that.
(17:36):
You cannot play the victim.
Let go of that victim energy.
, life didn't happen to you.
You didn't just end up in this spot.
Now I understand there's some peopleout there that are like, Hey, , I
got this disease, , I didn't doanything to get this disease.
Well, maybe, maybe it is a lesson thatyou signed up for before you came here.
(18:02):
Maybe it is a disease thatmanifested in your body
because we didn't learn how to healour feelings and emotions properly.
See if we go into it with victimenergy, oh my gosh, feel bad for me.
(18:23):
This happened.
You're not going to heal, and I canappreciate being pissed off about it.
I can appreciate beingfrustrated in that situation.
However you got a choice.
We always have a choice.
We can be a victim.
This happened to me and I don'tunderstand, or you know what?
(18:46):
I'm healing.
I am healing my body.
I don't have that C word disease.
I. I have healing work to do and Iam gonna do that, and I'm gonna love
myself, and I'm gonna experiencethe life that I have, and I'm gonna
experience these beautiful thingsthat I'm gonna go through with this
(19:06):
treatment and this healing journey.
And I am grateful to be alive today.
Victim energy can creep in.
If you're not paying attention,.
Pay attention to howyou look at your past.
(19:30):
, I was talking to a client, I don'tknow, about two, three months ago,
and she said, I listened to yourpodcast, and I am so sorry you went
through that sexual abuse as a child.
And I looked at her, I said, no,I, I'm not, I'm good with it.
She's like, yeah, but I said, no, IM,
no.
It made me who I am today.
(19:52):
It was an experience I was supposed toexperience, and I'm healing from it.
And I am comfortable in my skin today.
Right?
Or I could have said, yeah.
Gosh, that was so bad.
Mm. Yeah, it was bad.
It was fucked up.
I'm not negating that itwas this horrible thing.
(20:15):
. However, I'm stepping into my power.
I'm stepping into my energy.
I'm stepping into the leader, thewarrior, the healer that I want to
be, and that is an experience that Ichecked the box on that I learned it.
I'm healing from it.
I've healed a ton of it, andI can help other people heal
(20:38):
from that experience too.
And the third thing is releasethe attachment to whatever
it is you've got going on.
Release the attachment to the anger,release the attachment to what you want.
For example, I hear all thetime buy this program and we'll
(20:59):
teach you how to manifest.
Okay, let's do that real quick.
If your words align withyour actions, your heart.
The words that you say, the things thatyou think and you're not attached to
when you receive it, you're not attachedto anger about it or victim energy.
(21:20):
You can manifest it in a minute, meaning,
I want to go buy a new car, butyou're not going to work.
Yeah, I want to lose 25 pounds,but your mind keeps saying that one
sentence that has stuck with you.
(21:41):
I'm fat.
I'm fat.
I'll never have, right?
Who here besides me hashad that thought process?
See if a aspect of what you wanthas negative energy or doubt in it.
If an aspect of what you wantcarries that victim energy at any
level, you're not gonna manifest it.
(22:04):
So when you're asking for what youwant, . See it as received and move on.
If I receive the gift, that's great.
If I don't, that's great.
Life is gonna be fine for meand I'm just gonna move forward
,I am doing activities that take me towards receiving what I want.
(22:25):
But I'm not gonna sit there andsweat bullets on, gosh, it's Tuesday
and I haven't received it yet.
Would think it'll be here by Thursday.
It's been two years.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, it's not gonna come.
See, manifesting is easy.
Living life is easy when you startto realize that everything around you
(22:46):
is a direct reflection of yourself.
This is what we do.
This is what we talk about.
It's easy.
So when that person came to me andsaid, I'm so sorry for that stuff,
I'm like, Hey, I'm good with it.
Because if I had just chirped intothat a little bit, it would've
(23:07):
negated what I was working on.
We cannot just simply goback, then move forward.
That little bit backwards willdestroy what's in front of you.
I wish it could come back quickly.
It just doesn't.
I don't know how to make it happenthat way because when we go back, we
allow that little piece of victim,that little piece of that little
(23:31):
piece of that little boy or littlegirl that got hurt back inside of us.
We don't need that.
You know what?
You need to look in the mirrorand tell yourself, I'm beautiful.
I'm gifted, I'm loved.
I love myself.
I love this job.
, every step I take raises my vibration.
Every breath I take heals my body.
(23:53):
I love who I am today.
I love the fact that I am gonnago do something later today.
I don't know what it is, and there'sgonna be an energy ripple effect that
is gonna help somebody else becausemy positive energy and my positive
thoughts are going to change the world.
(24:13):
That's what I think about.
We have some reallycool guests coming back.
I know Fawn is coming.
She's gonna talk about her Ayahuascajourney, and I think she might actually
have some girlfriends come on on aseparate episode and we talk about that.
I've been debating.
(24:36):
With Kelsey about having free will.
So she's gonna come back when she evercomes back from her four month vacation.
And we're gonna talk about free will.
I've got some really greathealers coming here soon.
And you know what?
This summer is gonna be fantastic.
(24:57):
I remember last year I kept saying.
2024 is my year.
2024 is my year.
My brother died.
All these other things happened.
I'm like, God bless.
Okay.
But I kept saying 2024is gonna be my year.
And 2024 gave me everything Ineeded, not exactly what I wanted.
(25:22):
I am so grateful for those gifts.
I am so grateful for the experiences.
I'm so grateful for the love I receivedand the love that I give myself today.
So I will see you in about a week.
Enjoy your 4th of July.
It'll be over by the time youlisten to this, and be the miracle
(25:43):
that you're hoping to receive.
You've been listening to EnlightenmentUnknown with Wes Coons, your guide on
the quest for self discovery and theversion of you we haven't met yet.
