When we experience doubt, anxiety and stress it can be difficult to surrender. It is in these exact moments we need to let go of logic and remove our thoughts from the past or the future. To truly adapt the consciousness of Certainty we must learn the difference between taking a proactive action or embracing internal reactive chaos.
Explore how stepping back and entering in to a mindset of not knowing, is knowing, can bring the inner peace that leads us to ultimate freedom.

Fortune (00:04):
Welcome all to circuitry. It's time to ignite
your life.
Jean (00:08):
Join us as we explore this episode's thought provoking
topic and what it means to usthrough everyday life challenges
and practical spiritual tools.
Fortune (00:16):
So let's start sharing
Jean (00:22):
Hello, darling. Hello,
Unknown (00:23):
darling. How are you?
Good. I'm really good. Oh, metoo. Me too. Yeah, feeling
feeling very certain. Verycertain. Yes, yes.
Jean (00:32):
You certain up today,
Unknown (00:33):
I'm certain that we're going to talk about certainty.
That's a start. Yes, it is. So Ithink we have to, we have to
define certainty a little bit.
But I think to me, the mark.
Like when you can tell ifsomebody is a truly kind of, you
know, spiritual person or hasgood consciousness is when they
(00:56):
can hold on to certainty, nomatter what's happening in their
lives. Like they don't waver.
They're not they never go. Oh,man is the point where I freak
out, you know? Right. Soyeah, definitely. You have to
have no doubt with certainty.
Yes. No fear. Yes. And no logic.
No logic. Nope. No, as you say,No, Spock, right. Yeah, no,
(01:17):
Spock, no, Spock, becausecertainty sometimes doesn't make
sense. You know, people thinkyou're crazy. Oh, and never,
man. It never makes sense.
Really, to somebody looking in,they can go, Well, why aren't
you freaking out yet?
Right. Exactly. Yeah, exactly,exactly. And certainty is
(01:37):
something that you have topractice doing. Because it just
doesn't come naturally. As humanbeings. We want to doubt
everything we do get afraid, youknow, so it's something that you
really need to practice. It'ssomething that it's part of our
spiritual gym, for sure.
Absolutely. You know, before weget into it, I think I'm gonna
tell a little story. Okay. I wasresearching this. And I came
(01:59):
across a story that you probablyknow. Okay, it was in the book
The Way by Michael, which is anamazing book, if you've never
read it, yes. And he tells astory of a rabbi, teacher, okay.
And he's got to go to anothertown to go to a lecture or to
give a lecture or to whatever itis. And he goes to the train
(02:21):
station, and he gets in theline. And his student sees him
that's also traveling to thesame place, okay. And it's very
hot. And the rabbi, the teacheris very old. So the student is,
you know, once you come sit inthe under the shade, and I'll
stand in the line, and I'll getyour ticket and he settles him.
(02:42):
And he goes back into the line.
He gets his friend along, hebuys a ticket, he brings it
over. And he's like, Here's yourticket. And he goes, thank you
very much. And he says, Okay. Hesays, Well, I think I'm gonna
get on the train now. And hesays, to the effective well, I
need the I thought you wouldreimburse me for the ticket, the
ticket, and he says, Oh, I don'thave any money to buy a ticket.
(03:03):
He says, Well, you were standingin the line to buy a ticket. So
how, what were you going to dowhen you get to the front of the
line? He says, I woke up thismorning, and I knew that I had
to get to whatever the town was,right? And so the action, the
thought came to me that I shouldgo stand in the line and
someone, the Creator would sendsomeone, and I would or
(03:25):
something would happen, and Iwould I would get a ticket. I
just had certainty that I wouldget the ticket. Right, right.
And like I said, Well, I don'thave money now to buy my own
ticket. Well, maybe
Fortune (03:37):
you're not supposed to go. No, he said,
Unknown (03:40):
he said, Well, may I suggest you stand on the line?
Oh, and he turned and he walkedand he got on the train.
Right. So this brings us tobelieving first before you're
seeingWell, believe it or leave. Yeah,
but I think that there's adifference between believing and
knowing. You know, I can believein Santa Claus, but I don't know
if he exists.
(04:01):
Right? Well, I'm just saying tohave that. So Right. But I'm
saying thatyou know, to be it's not a
belief system, though certaintyis not a belief system.
Certainty is knowing to me thatno matter what you think should
be happening, right. The Creatorhas the universe has a bigger
plan for you.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, I have herein my notes, we surrender the
(04:24):
outcome to the universe andunderstand the support that
everything is happening for usnot to not to us. Exactly.
Right. Right. And to havecertainty is not knowing that it
will work. It's just, you know,it's not going to work out how
you want it. It's going to workout how it's supposed to be for
(04:45):
what's best forwhat you need, right? What I
mean, it may work out exactlythe way you want it to work out
exactly what you need. Yes, butit's really about what you need.
And I think it's also gettingpast these you know, we have If
we have it in our head thatsomething has to come down the
way we think it should happen bywhat our perceived means of
(05:06):
making it happen, whether that'sfinancial or action, or
participation and other peoplein our lives. And then the
timeframe, yes, that we think itshould happen. Right. Right.
Right.
And when that doesn't happen,then we don't lose our
certainty. But we have toremember that as we have the
(05:27):
nineis an illusion. Right? So we
agree on that, that time is anillusion, and that it's a man
made,right? Because it may not happen
at that particular moment whenyou want it. Once you have that
certainty. Eventually, it will,it may work. It may, it may not
happen. Maybe it's not supposedto happen. Right? Right. But
your inner voice is your enemy.
(05:50):
Yes. And it's going to nag atyou. And it's going to come up
with all of these scenarios ofhow it should be and why it
should be and fear. Yeah, yeah.
All those things. Yeah. Andthat's control.
Yes. So, because certainty isabout surrender. Definitely, you
have to surrender. You have tosurrender the control and having
(06:14):
the control. And, you know, thatjust works. So awesome. I mean,
I know, I'm a control freak. SoI know how it works against me
to feel like I need to have thecontrol instead of having the
certainty. You know, it's theopposite. You know, so if you
just let it be, and surrender toit, and let go of the control,
(06:35):
and have that certainty thatwhatever is going on, this is to
teach you something, this is thelesson, even if it's like, the
worst thing that's happening toyou, okay, you have to sit with
it for a minute and go, Wow, whyis this happening? There is a
lesson here, I have to be so youmay never figure out why it's
happening to you. You may neverknow the reason why something
(06:56):
happened to you. And that's partof certainty.
Yes, but it's important to sitwith it to maybe you can maybe
it's showing you something,you know, no, no, that's not
knowing why it happened. That'sknowing what you need to
transform in yourself. Yes,there's a difference. And, you
know, I'm, I'm just, I'm puttingmyself in the shoes of somebody
(07:20):
who's hearing this for the firsttime. Okay. And we're talking
about something that I thinkwe've personally experienced.
Yes, I'm experiencing it thisweek, where I'm having a
situation and I won't go intoall the details. But, you know,
in the past, it might have beena serious moment of panic and
trigger and desperation. And,you know, and and I'm kind of
(07:45):
floating through it, right,without any internal reaction,
right. And just really knowingthat a miracle is on the way has
already happened. And it's myjob to let that happen. And
that's wonderful. That'swonderful. But someone may
(08:05):
searing this first time isprobably going, you know, Is she
out of her mind? Right, right.
Well, well, wait, wait, let mefinish this one second. That's
the crazy part. But But I justwanted to put this disclaimer in
there before we start gettinginto the meat of this, you know,
well, wait, no, seriously. Yeah,you want everybody to understand
what you're talking about. It'ssomething they understand what
I'm talkingabout is what I'm not talking
about. And when we keep goingback to this, where it's like
(08:27):
saying, Okay, everybody hasemotions. No one is saying you
should not be a human beingright, you're gonna just never
have a worry in your life, youare never going to have a moment
where you feeling like, oh mygosh, what's going to happen?
Those feelings are, are part ofthe human condition. It's real.
Yes. But it's, it's there's adifference between being
(08:51):
reactive to the situation,right? And being pro taking a
proactive step. Yes. Like theguy went to the train station,
and he stood in the line. That'sa proactive step. He knew he had
to get there really,right. That's really having that
certainty. Right. And, you know,it's like crazy. You know, if
you really use it, it's almostlike magic, right? It's kind of
(09:13):
a magic, it is kind of a magic.
I mean, but that back to whatyou were saying. It's like
you're saying that there's athere's a it's happening? It's
happening for us, right, right.
Right. But a lot of the timesand why put this little you
know, thing in there. It's likesaying, Okay, well, it when you
start really going to thatspiritual gym and practicing
(09:35):
that certainty, there are timeswhere things will happen and
someone else may look in and goYou better do something or urine
gonna, this is going to happenor that is going to happen. This
can happen. It's like, you know,you lose your job and instead of
freaking out or crying orgetting angry at your boss,
think about the proactive thingto do.
(09:57):
Even just not even the actionbut you can really be in that
place of you know what? I, thishappened for a reason? Yes, yes,
maybe there's a better job outthere for me, or maybe this was
bad for my family and the hoursI was having to work. Or maybe
I'm gonna start my own business,we
cannot control the outcome, wecannot control the outcome. That
(10:17):
is the bottom line here.
Right. But what I'm saying is inthe moment, to be flowing with
it to say, You know what, thankyou.
Yeah, thank you this, this is anopportunity. It's an opportunity
instead of something that, like,you can get mad, or I'm late for
work. Right, you know, but maybeyou miss this with everything.
(10:37):
What are they trying to giveexamples? Maybe we're not giving
good ones. But okay, well, thatis a good, maybe you avoided an
accident? Or you're gonna walkin right at the right time to
greet a co worker that needed totalk to you or you don't know,
right, exactly, exactly whythings happen. Right. And that's
why we have to really practicethis certainty, to have a more
(11:00):
flowing like you're saying, toflow with it? Yes, you know, and
to be less reactive about thingsthat are happening that are
maybe not what you, you're whatyou're thinking that you desire,
right now. But really, it'shappening for us to have
something even better, there'ssomething better you lost your
job, because there's a betterjob out there. Right? You know,
(11:21):
there's a reason for that. And,or maybe, you know, who knows
what the reason could be, but toactually, no, in your inside of
you, and trust, that this is forgood. It's hard. It is hard.
That is hard for people to do.
It is hard. And it's hard for meto do. At times, I wrote some I
(11:45):
wrote some steps that I use topractice my certainty. Would you
like to hear that I would loveto hear okay, and then you can
tell me what you think. Numberone is understanding everything
is for our good. So that's like,something happens. And I get
upset, or I'm triggered. Or itdidn't go the way I want it to.
But I have to find the place inme that says okay, trust, it's
(12:09):
for your good. Something is goodfrom this, you know, and it kind
of just what happens when you dothat? Well, sometimes it takes a
little while. It's not like,okay, everything's for good. It
doesn't work like that, youknow, sometimes you got to go
through the emotion first, youknow, and then sit with it and
go, Okay, well, let me really,you know, put this in
(12:31):
perspective of, where's mycertainty here? You know,
where's my spirituality? Where'smy high of consciousness? And
then I come to the place wherethere's something good is gonna
come out of this, no matter howugly it is. Right? And, and
usually, when you find thatquiet place, oh, my goodness,
things change the game changer.
Yes, definitely love gamechangers. Yes. Well, we talked
(12:53):
about before surrenderingcontrol, letting go of the
control of it, and knowing thatyou can, the outcome is not up
to you. You just got to put thework in, like I'm saying to not
get upset, or not freak out orblame somebody or whatever, you
know what I mean? So just stickwith it and go, Okay, you know,
let me think about this. And whydid this happen? Or maybe not?
(13:18):
Like you said, maybe there, youcan't figure out the reason why
it happened. Right, you know,doesn't matter why it happened,
it happened. And that's it, andlet the universe bring the
outcome. You know, finding trustwithin that's another practice
is like, really, like I said,sitting with it and relying on
my higher conscious to come uplike you always say go up in the
(13:42):
drone. Yeah, right. Use yourdrone to see things on my drone.
Yes. And I'm sure you did thatthis week. Oh, you mean to do
that to just go up in yourdrone? And not and there was a
moment where the the dronesbatteries weren't working and
crashed into the house? So yeah.
Oh, Ibet. Yeah, I bet I bet. But the
ultimate is, is to have thatgrowth, that transformation, you
(14:05):
know, and having faith in yourjourney, knowing that it's all a
part of the journey. You knowwhat I mean? Like, I just say,
five years from now, I'm notgonna matter. Is it gonna matter
what happened this week, you'regonna think about it, you're
gonna matter but the situationis not gonna matter. So having
faith in the journey, that thisis just another step in the
(14:28):
direction, you know? Okay, Iwould like your input on this
one, right, release blame andresonate with the idea that
everything is from the light orfrom a higher consciousness.
What do you think about that?
Well, leasing the blame andresonating, putting it in your
(14:51):
head, that even if it'ssomething bad, it's still coming
from the universe and from thelight.
Are there more steps there isone more let's do the last one
comment because I'm seeing aseeing a similarity here before.
So before I say what I want tosay, I want you to finish your
thought process. Yes, these aregood.
My my last thing to work oncertainty is waking up excited
(15:15):
to work on my floss. To make itbetter today, like the night
before thinking about, you know,we talked about this before
about thinking about the thingsthat maybe you want to change or
the things you're working on.
And waking up in the morning,open your eyes being
appreciative and saying, I amgoing to work on all those
things, that I discovered that Ineed to transform it and really
(15:39):
have the certainty that you cando it, and what and how the
miracles are going to come fromthat work. Right?
So even that goes back to beingthe creator of your own reality.
Fortune (15:53):
Exactly. Beautiful.
Unknown (15:56):
Yeah, those are beautiful. Those are all really
helpful. Like almost like aprocess to go through. Yes, and
things to be aware of when it'shappening. So that's like really
helpful. I think, what whatalways amazes me about us,
the number five is important,the blame thing, releasing the
blame and knowing that it's fromthe light. That's a big one. For
(16:18):
me, that was a big one. And wewe just, you know, we just
learned that lesson again, wekeep learning it again and
again. Yes. Well, when wereally learn to insert, whatever
is triggering us that it's notcoming from that person or that
situation, but it's coming fromthe light changes everything.
You don't get mad at the light.
Right? I can argue with thelight. Right, right, you're
(16:38):
gonna say thank you.
Right, exactly. So then you'renot mad at that source?
Yeah, yeah. Okay, so you want myinput? My ambient is this, and
this is what I say. It's like,it's amazing to me, we do this
all the time. Okay. We're, we'rekind of thinking the same thing.
Right. But we, we kind of goabout it in a different
approach. Okay. You know, like,you're very practical, your
(17:00):
hands, this is what I need todo. You want to get deep, and
I'm always going, what does thatmean? You know, so neither way
is better than the other. It'sjust, I think that there's all
different kinds of people outthere. So my emphasis is going
to be that one thing that Istarted to really focus on in
this is that it's a time timeconstraint. Because if you're
(17:23):
living in the past, or you'reliving in the future, then you
You're, you're just gonna worry.
You're full of Well, last timethis happened, right? You know,
and that's all and then and thatwent wrong. And then this
judgment, and you're that's kindof where you start to try and
control it, because you don'twant it to be like before, or
(17:45):
you want it to be exactly likebefore, you know, it worked
before work before why isn'tworking now. And why is this
happening to me now? Why is thishappening to me now? That's the
blame. Okay. So we go into allof these different mindsets of,
you know, why and how and, youknow, can I change this, you
(18:08):
know, but but that is that'swe're not practicing the pause
number one. And what happens iswhen we start putting in all of
that darkness and the negativityinto it, because that's all down
in fear is yes, yes, yes, isn'tit we've entered a place of
darkness nowyou're digging that hole you're
(18:28):
going deeper and deeper anddeeper and deeper. So it's gonna
take awhile to get out? Yeah, what are
you going to get out of thatdarkness if you just put more
darkness into the darkness,right? Darkness Right, exactly.
So if you're in that darkness,yes, if you can infuse the light
uncertainty into it right andstop. I mean, we talked about
this a lot where it's like,okay, when you're getting into
(18:50):
we talked about this about unityif you're fighting with somebody
or you're disagreeing with avery strongly Yeah, walk away,
walk away because what you'redoing is you're just bringing
your chaos to that situation.
And all that does is fuel thefire. It's the same thing with
when something is happening inyour life or in your
(19:11):
relationships or in your job,you lack the certainty in the
creator that this is happening.
Not to control the situation.
But to practice the restrictionin yourself of resetting that
frequency and stepping back andsaying from this pause from this
(19:36):
confidence right from this lackof worry, everything that is not
the letting go of the doubt theword all those negative things
if I can sit in a place of thepresent, which is joy, the
things you are bringing up rightyou can wake up and say how what
am I going to do with this okay,let me i This is an opportunity
or this is this is happening forreason. Is this about
(19:58):
transforming myself? Is thisabout me realizing something I
didn't know before? Is thissimply to transform my nature,
it's all about transformingenergy, but to just really just
say, It's okay. And you'retransforming your space. Yes,
around you. So now that ripplesout to others, so it's not just
about you. Um, so now others.
So, if I'm all negative, goingnegative about everything that's
(20:23):
going to affect everybody,right? Okay, if I wake up,
upset, and whatever, thinkingabout something, or afraid of
something, or doubting, oh, mygoodness, you know, I don't
think we can afford this orwhatever, whatever is going on
your head making you crazy,okay? That you don't believe in
the miracle, right? That isgoing to have you think,
Oh, I have this amount in mybank account, or I have this, I
(20:44):
have this ability, or I havethis, and you're not believing
that the miracleis coming? Yes. Because once you
believe it, it's there. It'salready there. And one of the
thingsthat I've learned and I'm sure
you've experienced this, too, isthat, you know, sometimes the
Creator doesn't take the wheeluntil right before the moment of
impact, right? So if you'rejumping in to like, go, I gotta
stop this. You have now stoppedthe miracle.
(21:08):
Right? Right. Well, letting,letting go is what promotes
certainty, right? Letting go,you have to let go the wheel,
you have to let go the wheel.
Okay, so here's, here's an ahamoment that you know of, okay,
that one of our teachers spokeabout in a lecture and he said
(21:30):
the purpose of free will isgiving up Free Will right. We
have the free will to have thedoubt to have the control to
have that but the real Free Willsaying I don't need to do any of
that. Right. Everything that Ineed is going to be provided for
(21:50):
me and I don't need to worryright and that is such a place
of calmwow that my inner peace really
get that must have reallyresonated with me I
think I wrote something aboutthat's that's freedom. That's
freedom right? When you can feeljust a piece and not feel like
you have to write control dressright right. That is real
(22:12):
freedom. Right Are you sayingno, it was no it was like oh
wow, you know this this must befrom when I heard that right
when you mean and it must haveresonated in my brain somewhere
right? And butgive me like we're not
suggesting not to be complacentin your life. Like nobody is
saying well just oh no, let thefire don't get the fire
(22:34):
extinguisher nobody's suggestingthat there is proactive action
and then there is reactivefreaking out bad negative energy
being put into the situation sothose are two different things
where some people see those asthe same now me freaking out is
taking action me trying tocontrol it is I can't see that
(22:56):
I'm trying to control it. Ithink I'm just doing everything
possible powered to fix do itright the fixer, right gonna
come in. Okay, so this is crazy,because I found where I wrote
free will but it's a differentkind of it says knowing we are
challenged with our free will tochoose the more difficult road,
the road that we may have tofind an amazing amount of trust
(23:18):
in their Creator to travel.
That's what my thing with theFree Will was to really trust in
the Creator. Yes, that if wetake the difficult road, okay,
you know, that's, which is kindof what you're saying is the
free will sometimes with ourfree will we want to go with the
easy way. You know, like you'resaying to just take care of it.
(23:41):
You know, instead of saying,okay,
that's the physical world thatis this 3d world, we're talking
about that it's we have to havethe, it's not putting blinders
on. People think oh, Allah,Allah, your spiritual, whatever,
no, it's actually having abroader vision. Right? It's,
it's, it's a, it's a beliefsystem outside of this physical
(24:03):
realm. It's having a higherconsciousness that there is more
to all of this, then thesemanmade concepts and problems,
the problems aren't even real.
What's real is that thesituation has been brought into
our life path in order for us tonot even contribute to that
chaos, to be able to step backand live in the place, create
(24:25):
our own reality be our Creator,and saying, No, I know. That's
not how Ifound not engaging, engaging in
that I'm going to just be I'mokay.
And I believe it's going to beokay. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna make
the phone call. I'm gonnawhatever but the internal and
the consciousness is. It's it'sall it's all good and better
(24:48):
things are coming then Icouldn't have even imagined.
Well, likeyou say, well, we're living in
certainty, I wrote has nomeasurements. It's
unconditional, limitless,infinite and as human beings
these are parameters that westrive for, but rarely achieve.
It's hard to go there you knowany mean, to think about
something like unconditionallove and limitless thinking for
(25:08):
miracles? It's it's somethingthat we're striving for, you
know, we really want to go therebecause, oh,
yeah, well, I'm gonna give anexample life and it had nothing
to do with spirituality when Iexperienced it. Okay, but I have
applied it to my ownspirituality time. And again,
and I think certainty is a greatplace for that. Okay. One time I
(25:29):
was, I was when I was doinghuman resources. And I was a
operations manager I was sent toa place that was a it was, it
wasn't a seminar, it wasn't aconvention, it was an
experience. And you went walkedinto this experience blind, you
didn't know what was going tohappen. Right? Yes. And people
(25:50):
were kind of pitted against eachother. And they had all these
crazy kind of exercises going onthings to do challenges,
whatever one of them was, thatyou had to stand in the back of
the room, and you had to sing.
God bless America at the top ofyour lungs, in the group of
these people that you've nevereven met in your life and you
had to do it. Okay. Or you hadto suddenly they gave you a
(26:11):
topic and they said, Okay, youhave to speak for half an hour
on stripping your ego. Is thatwhat it was doing? Oh, well,
yeah, dispute my ego, definitelystrip my ego. But, but the but
the real impact of that, at theend, when they kind of talked
about all these things that wewent through was, guess what,
the next time you're in aboardroom, or you're having to
give a lecture publicly, right?
(26:34):
That's nothing compared to whatI just asked you to do. So you
have like we said, spiritualdrum, you have stretched
yourself beyond your comfortlevel, right. And that's we know
is the only time realtransformation can happen is
when there's some kind of painor discomfort. So if you have
gone to this moment whereeverything bad is going on, and
(26:56):
you have kept your head, and youhave had that certainty in the
Creator. And then you saw thatit all worked out. Okay. The
next time something happens,right,
no matter what your read whatyou read it yourself. Yeah. And
guess what, then it'sgonna get even worse, there's
going to be even bigger testchallenges that happens. And
that's when we know we're reallybeing tested. Because we know
(27:17):
we're about to go pastsomething, which is a good thing
that we never experienced in ourlife thing. Yes, yes, definitely
is a good thing. Definitely agood thing. Definitely a good
thing, because then you knowthat you are working on it,
working on it. And, you know, nomatter what,
Fortune (27:34):
it's all good. Yeah. No matter what. It's absolutely.
Unknown (27:38):
It's all good. So, yeah. So if we really want to
grow, we have to challengeourselves. Yes. And if we don't
challenge ourselves, theuniverse is going to challenge
us. Oh,absolutely. And that brings us
to pain and suffering that wewant to get rid of. Because
Absolutely. You know, I mean?
(28:00):
Well, one of the you know, youknow, trying to find moments in
history or spiritual stories orbiblical stories, and you know,
that certain thing aboutcertainty is is one of the times
that, you know, I think would bea great example of we were right
there, we were all right there.
And if we would have just hadthe certainty the faith, to not
(28:23):
freak out to not try and come upwith a different solution or
whatever. We could have beenback to the Garden of Eden. And
that is the moment of MountSinai. Yes, yes, yes. Where we
had to build the calf. We had tosay, oh, no, well, I don't
really believe that the promiseis going to happen. We were
promised this and it's nothappening. It's not happening to
(28:44):
it. So let's pull together allof our resources. And let's
build a golden calf. And let'sworship benstead. Right, right.
Right, right. And that's anextreme example,
right? And we do that. We dothat instead of letting getting
out of the way, like you say,getting out of the way and let
the Creator bring miracles. Wecan't read can't wait out. Wait.
(29:07):
So we make a bunch of otherchaos to go on. Right?
A distraction. Yeah, I want tomake myself feel good about
this. Look, what I just didhere. I just built this golden
clap now isn't everybody happy?
But guess what? You just haveyou just throw away. Paradise.
Okay, butbecause having certainty
sometimes makes you look crazy.
Okay, I have some examples.
Thinking out of the box. Whenyou think out of the box. Yes.
(29:30):
Right. Or you're doing an actionoutside of your comfort zone.
Sometimes you're going like, youknow, somebody's gonna go
ziplining and they're scared todeath of heights. You know what
I mean? But, yeah, go for it.
You know, and somebody else isgoing, Are you crazy to do that?
You know, because but it feelsso freeing because you get past
(29:53):
that fear and that doubt. Sogood. So good. I wrote some I
wrote some things that may Youcrazy knowing we are challenged
with our free Oh, I read thatalready. So that was like a
thing. When you are challengedby your thoughts, you know what
I mean? And when you go in theopposite direction, what you
(30:13):
think that, okay, this is what Ishould do. But I'm going to do
this instead, right? Peoplethink you're crazy, you know,
like quitting your job and go,guess what I always wanted to
paint in Paris or something. SoI'm putting my job and I'm
selling everything and I'mleaving and going, Okay, people
go, are you crazy? How are yougoing to live there? There's no
logic in that. But guess whatyou get to Paris. And I don't
(30:37):
care how you're living. You'redoing what you want it to do.
And that is amazing.
But sometimes it's not justsometimes it's not just a test
of, you know, like, oh, I have asphere, I have a fear. Maybe I
shouldn't get on that plane.
Maybe I shouldn't do this. Maybesometimes it's something in your
face that you have to kind of itis it touches on those emotions.
(31:00):
Yes. But sometimes it's acircumstance that you've, you
have maneuvered manipulated inthe past. Maybe it looked
different. But it's the samething. And now you're being
called on to how are you goingto let? You know, I mean, we're
(31:20):
sitting here today, you know,because of me changing a pattern
in myself in my workplace? Yes,absolutely. And we had certainty
that and there was a moment,where do I remember calling you?
And I was like, you know, I canI know how to fix this. I know
(31:40):
what to say, how to say it, youknow, and what the politically
correct thing is and what Ishouldn't be doing and who I
should be saying to and I can Ican I can.
Fortune (31:54):
I can give you the outcome you want. But but that
was to be conscious
Unknown (31:58):
of that while it was happening. And just to say, You
know what, I'm not even going tomask this, or try and fix this.
If this is I have to believethat this is happening to me
right now that I have to staytrue to who I am. Yes. Right.
Yes. And answer as my truevoice. Yes. And we're not as the
(32:20):
executive. Right, exactly. And Ijust tell the truth, right. You
have to go with the illogicaland it was like, Okay, I know if
I do this, this is all gonnafall apart. But it falling
apart. Right. And I had beencarried through this whole
process.
Yes. And it's about restrictingthat doubt. Yes. You know,
taking that doubt and going,Nope, you're not serving me.
(32:41):
Bye. Bye. Bye, goodbye. Becauseonce it's gone, and it's so
free, that sort of sets theultimate weight taken off of
you. And you're like, Wow, thisis amazing. This is a thing.
Absolutely. It's amazing. Imean,
there's so much so many thingmore main things. We've just
we've just touched the surfaceon this. But can we agree for a
(33:02):
moment that we understandcertainty for just even just
this one second? Oh, wedo. We did for this second? We
do. And I'm so excited. I'mexcited to Yes. If you enjoyed

Join us as we explore this episode's thought provoking
topic and what it means to usthrough everyday life challenges
and practical spiritual tools.
Fortune (00:16):
So let's start sharing
Jean (00:22):
Hello, darling. Hello,
Unknown (00:23):
darling. How are you?
Good. I'm really good. Oh, metoo. Me too. Yeah, feeling
feeling very certain. Verycertain. Yes, yes.
Jean (00:32):
You certain up today,
Unknown (00:33):
I'm certain that we're going to talk about certainty.
That's a start. Yes, it is. So Ithink we have to, we have to
define certainty a little bit.
But I think to me, the mark.
Like when you can tell ifsomebody is a truly kind of, you
know, spiritual person or hasgood consciousness is when they
(00:56):
can hold on to certainty, nomatter what's happening in their
lives. Like they don't waver.
They're not they never go. Oh,man is the point where I freak
out, you know? Right. Soyeah, definitely. You have to
have no doubt with certainty.
Yes. No fear. Yes. And no logic.
No logic. Nope. No, as you say,No, Spock, right. Yeah, no,
(01:17):
Spock, no, Spock, becausecertainty sometimes doesn't make
sense. You know, people thinkyou're crazy. Oh, and never,
man. It never makes sense.
Really, to somebody looking in,they can go, Well, why aren't
you freaking out yet?
Right. Exactly. Yeah, exactly,exactly. And certainty is
(01:37):
something that you have topractice doing. Because it just
doesn't come naturally. As humanbeings. We want to doubt
everything we do get afraid, youknow, so it's something that you
really need to practice. It'ssomething that it's part of our
spiritual gym, for sure.
Absolutely. You know, before weget into it, I think I'm gonna
tell a little story. Okay. I wasresearching this. And I came
(01:59):
across a story that you probablyknow. Okay, it was in the book
The Way by Michael, which is anamazing book, if you've never
read it, yes. And he tells astory of a rabbi, teacher, okay.
And he's got to go to anothertown to go to a lecture or to
give a lecture or to whatever itis. And he goes to the train
(02:21):
station, and he gets in theline. And his student sees him
that's also traveling to thesame place, okay. And it's very
hot. And the rabbi, the teacheris very old. So the student is,
you know, once you come sit inthe under the shade, and I'll
stand in the line, and I'll getyour ticket and he settles him.
(02:42):
And he goes back into the line.
He gets his friend along, hebuys a ticket, he brings it
over. And he's like, Here's yourticket. And he goes, thank you
very much. And he says, Okay. Hesays, Well, I think I'm gonna
get on the train now. And hesays, to the effective well, I
need the I thought you wouldreimburse me for the ticket, the
ticket, and he says, Oh, I don'thave any money to buy a ticket.
(03:03):
He says, Well, you were standingin the line to buy a ticket. So
how, what were you going to dowhen you get to the front of the
line? He says, I woke up thismorning, and I knew that I had
to get to whatever the town was,right? And so the action, the
thought came to me that I shouldgo stand in the line and
someone, the Creator would sendsomeone, and I would or
(03:25):
something would happen, and Iwould I would get a ticket. I
just had certainty that I wouldget the ticket. Right, right.
And like I said, Well, I don'thave money now to buy my own
ticket. Well, maybe
Fortune (03:37):
you're not supposed to go. No, he said,
Unknown (03:40):
he said, Well, may I suggest you stand on the line?
Oh, and he turned and he walkedand he got on the train.
Right. So this brings us tobelieving first before you're
seeingWell, believe it or leave. Yeah,
but I think that there's adifference between believing and
knowing. You know, I can believein Santa Claus, but I don't know
if he exists.
(04:01):
Right? Well, I'm just saying tohave that. So Right. But I'm
saying thatyou know, to be it's not a
belief system, though certaintyis not a belief system.
Certainty is knowing to me thatno matter what you think should
be happening, right. The Creatorhas the universe has a bigger
plan for you.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, I have herein my notes, we surrender the
(04:24):
outcome to the universe andunderstand the support that
everything is happening for usnot to not to us. Exactly.
Right. Right. And to havecertainty is not knowing that it
will work. It's just, you know,it's not going to work out how
you want it. It's going to workout how it's supposed to be for
(04:45):
what's best forwhat you need, right? What I
mean, it may work out exactlythe way you want it to work out
exactly what you need. Yes, butit's really about what you need.
And I think it's also gettingpast these you know, we have If
we have it in our head thatsomething has to come down the
way we think it should happen bywhat our perceived means of
(05:06):
making it happen, whether that'sfinancial or action, or
participation and other peoplein our lives. And then the
timeframe, yes, that we think itshould happen. Right. Right.
Right.
And when that doesn't happen,then we don't lose our
certainty. But we have toremember that as we have the
(05:27):
nineis an illusion. Right? So we
agree on that, that time is anillusion, and that it's a man
made,right? Because it may not happen
at that particular moment whenyou want it. Once you have that
certainty. Eventually, it will,it may work. It may, it may not
happen. Maybe it's not supposedto happen. Right? Right. But
your inner voice is your enemy.
(05:50):
Yes. And it's going to nag atyou. And it's going to come up
with all of these scenarios ofhow it should be and why it
should be and fear. Yeah, yeah.
All those things. Yeah. Andthat's control.
Yes. So, because certainty isabout surrender. Definitely, you
have to surrender. You have tosurrender the control and having
(06:14):
the control. And, you know, thatjust works. So awesome. I mean,
I know, I'm a control freak. SoI know how it works against me
to feel like I need to have thecontrol instead of having the
certainty. You know, it's theopposite. You know, so if you
just let it be, and surrender toit, and let go of the control,
(06:35):
and have that certainty thatwhatever is going on, this is to
teach you something, this is thelesson, even if it's like, the
worst thing that's happening toyou, okay, you have to sit with
it for a minute and go, Wow, whyis this happening? There is a
lesson here, I have to be so youmay never figure out why it's
happening to you. You may neverknow the reason why something
(06:56):
happened to you. And that's partof certainty.
Yes, but it's important to sitwith it to maybe you can maybe
it's showing you something,you know, no, no, that's not
knowing why it happened. That'sknowing what you need to
transform in yourself. Yes,there's a difference. And, you
know, I'm, I'm just, I'm puttingmyself in the shoes of somebody
(07:20):
who's hearing this for the firsttime. Okay. And we're talking
about something that I thinkwe've personally experienced.
Yes, I'm experiencing it thisweek, where I'm having a
situation and I won't go intoall the details. But, you know,
in the past, it might have beena serious moment of panic and
trigger and desperation. And,you know, and and I'm kind of
(07:45):
floating through it, right,without any internal reaction,
right. And just really knowingthat a miracle is on the way has
already happened. And it's myjob to let that happen. And
that's wonderful. That'swonderful. But someone may
(08:05):
searing this first time isprobably going, you know, Is she
out of her mind? Right, right.
Well, well, wait, wait, let mefinish this one second. That's
the crazy part. But But I justwanted to put this disclaimer in
there before we start gettinginto the meat of this, you know,
well, wait, no, seriously. Yeah,you want everybody to understand
what you're talking about. It'ssomething they understand what
I'm talkingabout is what I'm not talking
about. And when we keep goingback to this, where it's like
(08:27):
saying, Okay, everybody hasemotions. No one is saying you
should not be a human beingright, you're gonna just never
have a worry in your life, youare never going to have a moment
where you feeling like, oh mygosh, what's going to happen?
Those feelings are, are part ofthe human condition. It's real.
Yes. But it's, it's there's adifference between being
(08:51):
reactive to the situation,right? And being pro taking a
proactive step. Yes. Like theguy went to the train station,
and he stood in the line. That'sa proactive step. He knew he had
to get there really,right. That's really having that
certainty. Right. And, you know,it's like crazy. You know, if
you really use it, it's almostlike magic, right? It's kind of
(09:13):
a magic, it is kind of a magic.
I mean, but that back to whatyou were saying. It's like
you're saying that there's athere's a it's happening? It's
happening for us, right, right.
Right. But a lot of the timesand why put this little you
know, thing in there. It's likesaying, Okay, well, it when you
start really going to thatspiritual gym and practicing
(09:35):
that certainty, there are timeswhere things will happen and
someone else may look in and goYou better do something or urine
gonna, this is going to happenor that is going to happen. This
can happen. It's like, you know,you lose your job and instead of
freaking out or crying orgetting angry at your boss,
think about the proactive thingto do.
(09:57):
Even just not even the actionbut you can really be in that
place of you know what? I, thishappened for a reason? Yes, yes,
maybe there's a better job outthere for me, or maybe this was
bad for my family and the hoursI was having to work. Or maybe
I'm gonna start my own business,we
cannot control the outcome, wecannot control the outcome. That
(10:17):
is the bottom line here.
Right. But what I'm saying is inthe moment, to be flowing with
it to say, You know what, thankyou.
Yeah, thank you this, this is anopportunity. It's an opportunity
instead of something that, like,you can get mad, or I'm late for
work. Right, you know, but maybeyou miss this with everything.
(10:37):
What are they trying to giveexamples? Maybe we're not giving
good ones. But okay, well, thatis a good, maybe you avoided an
accident? Or you're gonna walkin right at the right time to
greet a co worker that needed totalk to you or you don't know,
right, exactly, exactly whythings happen. Right. And that's
why we have to really practicethis certainty, to have a more
(11:00):
flowing like you're saying, toflow with it? Yes, you know, and
to be less reactive about thingsthat are happening that are
maybe not what you, you're whatyou're thinking that you desire,
right now. But really, it'shappening for us to have
something even better, there'ssomething better you lost your
job, because there's a betterjob out there. Right? You know,
(11:21):
there's a reason for that. And,or maybe, you know, who knows
what the reason could be, but toactually, no, in your inside of
you, and trust, that this is forgood. It's hard. It is hard.
That is hard for people to do.
It is hard. And it's hard for meto do. At times, I wrote some I
(11:45):
wrote some steps that I use topractice my certainty. Would you
like to hear that I would loveto hear okay, and then you can
tell me what you think. Numberone is understanding everything
is for our good. So that's like,something happens. And I get
upset, or I'm triggered. Or itdidn't go the way I want it to.
But I have to find the place inme that says okay, trust, it's
(12:09):
for your good. Something is goodfrom this, you know, and it kind
of just what happens when you dothat? Well, sometimes it takes a
little while. It's not like,okay, everything's for good. It
doesn't work like that, youknow, sometimes you got to go
through the emotion first, youknow, and then sit with it and
go, Okay, well, let me really,you know, put this in
(12:31):
perspective of, where's mycertainty here? You know,
where's my spirituality? Where'smy high of consciousness? And
then I come to the place wherethere's something good is gonna
come out of this, no matter howugly it is. Right? And, and
usually, when you find thatquiet place, oh, my goodness,
things change the game changer.
Yes, definitely love gamechangers. Yes. Well, we talked
(12:53):
about before surrenderingcontrol, letting go of the
control of it, and knowing thatyou can, the outcome is not up
to you. You just got to put thework in, like I'm saying to not
get upset, or not freak out orblame somebody or whatever, you
know what I mean? So just stickwith it and go, Okay, you know,
let me think about this. And whydid this happen? Or maybe not?
(13:18):
Like you said, maybe there, youcan't figure out the reason why
it happened. Right, you know,doesn't matter why it happened,
it happened. And that's it, andlet the universe bring the
outcome. You know, finding trustwithin that's another practice
is like, really, like I said,sitting with it and relying on
my higher conscious to come uplike you always say go up in the
(13:42):
drone. Yeah, right. Use yourdrone to see things on my drone.
Yes. And I'm sure you did thatthis week. Oh, you mean to do
that to just go up in yourdrone? And not and there was a
moment where the the dronesbatteries weren't working and
crashed into the house? So yeah.
Oh, Ibet. Yeah, I bet I bet. But the
ultimate is, is to have thatgrowth, that transformation, you
(14:05):
know, and having faith in yourjourney, knowing that it's all a
part of the journey. You knowwhat I mean? Like, I just say,
five years from now, I'm notgonna matter. Is it gonna matter
what happened this week, you'regonna think about it, you're
gonna matter but the situationis not gonna matter. So having
faith in the journey, that thisis just another step in the
(14:28):
direction, you know? Okay, Iwould like your input on this
one, right, release blame andresonate with the idea that
everything is from the light orfrom a higher consciousness.
What do you think about that?
Well, leasing the blame andresonating, putting it in your
(14:51):
head, that even if it'ssomething bad, it's still coming
from the universe and from thelight.
Are there more steps there isone more let's do the last one
comment because I'm seeing aseeing a similarity here before.
So before I say what I want tosay, I want you to finish your
thought process. Yes, these aregood.
My my last thing to work oncertainty is waking up excited
(15:15):
to work on my floss. To make itbetter today, like the night
before thinking about, you know,we talked about this before
about thinking about the thingsthat maybe you want to change or
the things you're working on.
And waking up in the morning,open your eyes being
appreciative and saying, I amgoing to work on all those
things, that I discovered that Ineed to transform it and really
(15:39):
have the certainty that you cando it, and what and how the
miracles are going to come fromthat work. Right?
So even that goes back to beingthe creator of your own reality.
Fortune (15:53):
Exactly. Beautiful.
Unknown (15:56):
Yeah, those are beautiful. Those are all really
helpful. Like almost like aprocess to go through. Yes, and
things to be aware of when it'shappening. So that's like really
helpful. I think, what whatalways amazes me about us,
the number five is important,the blame thing, releasing the
blame and knowing that it's fromthe light. That's a big one. For
(16:18):
me, that was a big one. And wewe just, you know, we just
learned that lesson again, wekeep learning it again and
again. Yes. Well, when wereally learn to insert, whatever
is triggering us that it's notcoming from that person or that
situation, but it's coming fromthe light changes everything.
You don't get mad at the light.
Right? I can argue with thelight. Right, right, you're
(16:38):
gonna say thank you.
Right, exactly. So then you'renot mad at that source?
Yeah, yeah. Okay, so you want myinput? My ambient is this, and
this is what I say. It's like,it's amazing to me, we do this
all the time. Okay. We're, we'rekind of thinking the same thing.
Right. But we, we kind of goabout it in a different
approach. Okay. You know, like,you're very practical, your
(17:00):
hands, this is what I need todo. You want to get deep, and
I'm always going, what does thatmean? You know, so neither way
is better than the other. It'sjust, I think that there's all
different kinds of people outthere. So my emphasis is going
to be that one thing that Istarted to really focus on in
this is that it's a time timeconstraint. Because if you're
(17:23):
living in the past, or you'reliving in the future, then you
You're, you're just gonna worry.
You're full of Well, last timethis happened, right? You know,
and that's all and then and thatwent wrong. And then this
judgment, and you're that's kindof where you start to try and
control it, because you don'twant it to be like before, or
(17:45):
you want it to be exactly likebefore, you know, it worked
before work before why isn'tworking now. And why is this
happening to me now? Why is thishappening to me now? That's the
blame. Okay. So we go into allof these different mindsets of,
you know, why and how and, youknow, can I change this, you
(18:08):
know, but but that is that'swe're not practicing the pause
number one. And what happens iswhen we start putting in all of
that darkness and the negativityinto it, because that's all down
in fear is yes, yes, yes, isn'tit we've entered a place of
darkness nowyou're digging that hole you're
(18:28):
going deeper and deeper anddeeper and deeper. So it's gonna
take awhile to get out? Yeah, what are
you going to get out of thatdarkness if you just put more
darkness into the darkness,right? Darkness Right, exactly.
So if you're in that darkness,yes, if you can infuse the light
uncertainty into it right andstop. I mean, we talked about
this a lot where it's like,okay, when you're getting into
(18:50):
we talked about this about unityif you're fighting with somebody
or you're disagreeing with avery strongly Yeah, walk away,
walk away because what you'redoing is you're just bringing
your chaos to that situation.
And all that does is fuel thefire. It's the same thing with
when something is happening inyour life or in your
(19:11):
relationships or in your job,you lack the certainty in the
creator that this is happening.
Not to control the situation.
But to practice the restrictionin yourself of resetting that
frequency and stepping back andsaying from this pause from this
(19:36):
confidence right from this lackof worry, everything that is not
the letting go of the doubt theword all those negative things
if I can sit in a place of thepresent, which is joy, the
things you are bringing up rightyou can wake up and say how what
am I going to do with this okay,let me i This is an opportunity
or this is this is happening forreason. Is this about
(19:58):
transforming myself? Is thisabout me realizing something I
didn't know before? Is thissimply to transform my nature,
it's all about transformingenergy, but to just really just
say, It's okay. And you'retransforming your space. Yes,
around you. So now that ripplesout to others, so it's not just
about you. Um, so now others.
So, if I'm all negative, goingnegative about everything that's
(20:23):
going to affect everybody,right? Okay, if I wake up,
upset, and whatever, thinkingabout something, or afraid of
something, or doubting, oh, mygoodness, you know, I don't
think we can afford this orwhatever, whatever is going on
your head making you crazy,okay? That you don't believe in
the miracle, right? That isgoing to have you think,
Oh, I have this amount in mybank account, or I have this, I
(20:44):
have this ability, or I havethis, and you're not believing
that the miracleis coming? Yes. Because once you
believe it, it's there. It'salready there. And one of the
thingsthat I've learned and I'm sure
you've experienced this, too, isthat, you know, sometimes the
Creator doesn't take the wheeluntil right before the moment of
impact, right? So if you'rejumping in to like, go, I gotta
stop this. You have now stoppedthe miracle.
(21:08):
Right? Right. Well, letting,letting go is what promotes
certainty, right? Letting go,you have to let go the wheel,
you have to let go the wheel.
Okay, so here's, here's an ahamoment that you know of, okay,
that one of our teachers spokeabout in a lecture and he said
(21:30):
the purpose of free will isgiving up Free Will right. We
have the free will to have thedoubt to have the control to
have that but the real Free Willsaying I don't need to do any of
that. Right. Everything that Ineed is going to be provided for
(21:50):
me and I don't need to worryright and that is such a place
of calmwow that my inner peace really
get that must have reallyresonated with me I
think I wrote something aboutthat's that's freedom. That's
freedom right? When you can feeljust a piece and not feel like
you have to write control dressright right. That is real
(22:12):
freedom. Right Are you sayingno, it was no it was like oh
wow, you know this this must befrom when I heard that right
when you mean and it must haveresonated in my brain somewhere
right? And butgive me like we're not
suggesting not to be complacentin your life. Like nobody is
saying well just oh no, let thefire don't get the fire
(22:34):
extinguisher nobody's suggestingthat there is proactive action
and then there is reactivefreaking out bad negative energy
being put into the situation sothose are two different things
where some people see those asthe same now me freaking out is
taking action me trying tocontrol it is I can't see that
(22:56):
I'm trying to control it. Ithink I'm just doing everything
possible powered to fix do itright the fixer, right gonna
come in. Okay, so this is crazy,because I found where I wrote
free will but it's a differentkind of it says knowing we are
challenged with our free will tochoose the more difficult road,
the road that we may have tofind an amazing amount of trust
(23:18):
in their Creator to travel.
That's what my thing with theFree Will was to really trust in
the Creator. Yes, that if wetake the difficult road, okay,
you know, that's, which is kindof what you're saying is the
free will sometimes with ourfree will we want to go with the
easy way. You know, like you'resaying to just take care of it.
(23:41):
You know, instead of saying,okay,
that's the physical world thatis this 3d world, we're talking
about that it's we have to havethe, it's not putting blinders
on. People think oh, Allah,Allah, your spiritual, whatever,
no, it's actually having abroader vision. Right? It's,
it's, it's a, it's a beliefsystem outside of this physical
(24:03):
realm. It's having a higherconsciousness that there is more
to all of this, then thesemanmade concepts and problems,
the problems aren't even real.
What's real is that thesituation has been brought into
our life path in order for us tonot even contribute to that
chaos, to be able to step backand live in the place, create
(24:25):
our own reality be our Creator,and saying, No, I know. That's
not how Ifound not engaging, engaging in
that I'm going to just be I'mokay.
And I believe it's going to beokay. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna make
the phone call. I'm gonnawhatever but the internal and
the consciousness is. It's it'sall it's all good and better
(24:48):
things are coming then Icouldn't have even imagined.
Well, likeyou say, well, we're living in
certainty, I wrote has nomeasurements. It's
unconditional, limitless,infinite and as human beings
these are parameters that westrive for, but rarely achieve.
It's hard to go there you knowany mean, to think about
something like unconditionallove and limitless thinking for
(25:08):
miracles? It's it's somethingthat we're striving for, you
know, we really want to go therebecause, oh,
yeah, well, I'm gonna give anexample life and it had nothing
to do with spirituality when Iexperienced it. Okay, but I have
applied it to my ownspirituality time. And again,
and I think certainty is a greatplace for that. Okay. One time I
(25:29):
was, I was when I was doinghuman resources. And I was a
operations manager I was sent toa place that was a it was, it
wasn't a seminar, it wasn't aconvention, it was an
experience. And you went walkedinto this experience blind, you
didn't know what was going tohappen. Right? Yes. And people
(25:50):
were kind of pitted against eachother. And they had all these
crazy kind of exercises going onthings to do challenges,
whatever one of them was, thatyou had to stand in the back of
the room, and you had to sing.
God bless America at the top ofyour lungs, in the group of
these people that you've nevereven met in your life and you
had to do it. Okay. Or you hadto suddenly they gave you a
(26:11):
topic and they said, Okay, youhave to speak for half an hour
on stripping your ego. Is thatwhat it was doing? Oh, well,
yeah, dispute my ego, definitelystrip my ego. But, but the but
the real impact of that, at theend, when they kind of talked
about all these things that wewent through was, guess what,
the next time you're in aboardroom, or you're having to
give a lecture publicly, right?
(26:34):
That's nothing compared to whatI just asked you to do. So you
have like we said, spiritualdrum, you have stretched
yourself beyond your comfortlevel, right. And that's we know
is the only time realtransformation can happen is
when there's some kind of painor discomfort. So if you have
gone to this moment whereeverything bad is going on, and
(26:56):
you have kept your head, and youhave had that certainty in the
Creator. And then you saw thatit all worked out. Okay. The
next time something happens,right,
no matter what your read whatyou read it yourself. Yeah. And
guess what, then it'sgonna get even worse, there's
going to be even bigger testchallenges that happens. And
that's when we know we're reallybeing tested. Because we know
(27:17):
we're about to go pastsomething, which is a good thing
that we never experienced in ourlife thing. Yes, yes, definitely
is a good thing. Definitely agood thing. Definitely a good
thing, because then you knowthat you are working on it,
working on it. And, you know, nomatter what,
Fortune (27:34):
it's all good. Yeah. No matter what. It's absolutely.
Unknown (27:38):
It's all good. So, yeah. So if we really want to
grow, we have to challengeourselves. Yes. And if we don't
challenge ourselves, theuniverse is going to challenge
us. Oh,absolutely. And that brings us
to pain and suffering that wewant to get rid of. Because
Absolutely. You know, I mean?
(28:00):
Well, one of the you know, youknow, trying to find moments in
history or spiritual stories orbiblical stories, and you know,
that certain thing aboutcertainty is is one of the times
that, you know, I think would bea great example of we were right
there, we were all right there.
And if we would have just hadthe certainty the faith, to not
(28:23):
freak out to not try and come upwith a different solution or
whatever. We could have beenback to the Garden of Eden. And
that is the moment of MountSinai. Yes, yes, yes. Where we
had to build the calf. We had tosay, oh, no, well, I don't
really believe that the promiseis going to happen. We were
promised this and it's nothappening. It's not happening to
(28:44):
it. So let's pull together allof our resources. And let's
build a golden calf. And let'sworship benstead. Right, right.
Right, right. And that's anextreme example,
right? And we do that. We dothat instead of letting getting
out of the way, like you say,getting out of the way and let
the Creator bring miracles. Wecan't read can't wait out. Wait.
(29:07):
So we make a bunch of otherchaos to go on. Right?
A distraction. Yeah, I want tomake myself feel good about
this. Look, what I just didhere. I just built this golden
clap now isn't everybody happy?
But guess what? You just haveyou just throw away. Paradise.
Okay, butbecause having certainty
sometimes makes you look crazy.
Okay, I have some examples.
Thinking out of the box. Whenyou think out of the box. Yes.
(29:30):
Right. Or you're doing an actionoutside of your comfort zone.
Sometimes you're going like, youknow, somebody's gonna go
ziplining and they're scared todeath of heights. You know what
I mean? But, yeah, go for it.
You know, and somebody else isgoing, Are you crazy to do that?
You know, because but it feelsso freeing because you get past
(29:53):
that fear and that doubt. Sogood. So good. I wrote some I
wrote some things that may Youcrazy knowing we are challenged
with our free Oh, I read thatalready. So that was like a
thing. When you are challengedby your thoughts, you know what
I mean? And when you go in theopposite direction, what you
(30:13):
think that, okay, this is what Ishould do. But I'm going to do
this instead, right? Peoplethink you're crazy, you know,
like quitting your job and go,guess what I always wanted to
paint in Paris or something. SoI'm putting my job and I'm
selling everything and I'mleaving and going, Okay, people
go, are you crazy? How are yougoing to live there? There's no
logic in that. But guess whatyou get to Paris. And I don't
(30:37):
care how you're living. You'redoing what you want it to do.
And that is amazing.
But sometimes it's not justsometimes it's not just a test
of, you know, like, oh, I have asphere, I have a fear. Maybe I
shouldn't get on that plane.
Maybe I shouldn't do this. Maybesometimes it's something in your
face that you have to kind of itis it touches on those emotions.
(31:00):
Yes. But sometimes it's acircumstance that you've, you
have maneuvered manipulated inthe past. Maybe it looked
different. But it's the samething. And now you're being
called on to how are you goingto let? You know, I mean, we're
(31:20):
sitting here today, you know,because of me changing a pattern
in myself in my workplace? Yes,absolutely. And we had certainty
that and there was a moment,where do I remember calling you?
And I was like, you know, I canI know how to fix this. I know
(31:40):
what to say, how to say it, youknow, and what the politically
correct thing is and what Ishouldn't be doing and who I
should be saying to and I can Ican I can.
Fortune (31:54):
I can give you the outcome you want. But but that
was to be conscious
Unknown (31:58):
of that while it was happening. And just to say, You
know what, I'm not even going tomask this, or try and fix this.
If this is I have to believethat this is happening to me
right now that I have to staytrue to who I am. Yes. Right.
Yes. And answer as my truevoice. Yes. And we're not as the
(32:20):
executive. Right, exactly. And Ijust tell the truth, right. You
have to go with the illogicaland it was like, Okay, I know if
I do this, this is all gonnafall apart. But it falling
apart. Right. And I had beencarried through this whole
process.
Yes. And it's about restrictingthat doubt. Yes. You know,
taking that doubt and going,Nope, you're not serving me.
(32:41):
Bye. Bye. Bye, goodbye. Becauseonce it's gone, and it's so
free, that sort of sets theultimate weight taken off of
you. And you're like, Wow, thisis amazing. This is a thing.
Absolutely. It's amazing. Imean,
there's so much so many thingmore main things. We've just
we've just touched the surfaceon this. But can we agree for a
(33:02):
moment that we understandcertainty for just even just
this one second? Oh, wedo. We did for this second? We
do. And I'm so excited. I'mexcited to Yes. If you enjoyed
