Have you ever felt like you're running in place, chasing the same goals but getting nowhere? In a heartfelt shift from typical discussions, Princeton takes listeners on a transformative journey through the essence of personal evolution. This episode of Evolve Mastery forges a path through life's illusions, focusing on breaking free from patterns that tether individuals to a stagnant existence. The conversation delves into the power of genuine connections and aligning with core truths to move from survival to thriving. Plus, listeners are introduced to an exciting opportunity to rejuvenate their spirits at a retreat designed for disconnecting from life's uproar and rediscovering authentic selves.
Stripping away layers of societal expectations, the episode explores the intricate web of labels that constrain us and the endless pursuit of validation. Listeners are encouraged to imagine a life where they're not confined by society's narrative but instead craft their tales with conscious intent. As spiritual beings on a unique human journey, the discussion urges embracing the fluidity of existence and redefining life stories by relinquishing predetermined definitions.
The conversation redefines healing as an awakening to the wholeness of true essence rather than a repair to what's broken. Listeners are challenged to revisit personal definitions of emotions and experiences, offering a fresh lens to perceive and create reality consciously. The episode concludes with an empowering call to action: to carry transformative ideas into the world, seek guidance, and join a community dedicated to the beautiful journey of growth and enlightenment. Together, let's unravel societal constructs and embrace the freedom that awaits.

(00:49):
Why am I not getting theresults that I truly desire to
get?
Why do I feel like I'm stuck?
Why do I feel like myrelationships are out of
alignment?
Why do I feel like, every timeI go to create this life that I
say I want, why do I seem tofall back into the same habits?
Why do I seem to fall back intothe same routines, consciously?
(01:11):

something new?

(01:55):
I have a retreat that's comingup in May.
That's on the 27th through the30th and it's the rejuvenated
soul retreat, because I realize,you know, a lot of people are
so stuck in the noise and theyjust need a space where they can
come, take the mask off, takethe weight of the world off,
take their personified idea ofself off and really just go
deeper.
(02:15):
They've been feeling this shift, they've been feeling this
calling.
They know that something has tochange.
The world is changing, theirlives are changing, things are
manifesting or being strippedaway from them really fast and
they know that they're beingcalled into something new, but
they don't really know how tonavigate it.
They're trying to figure out.
(02:35):
Okay.
Well, how do I move into this?
What is this experience?
I want to become moreconsciously aware.
I want to experience morefulfillment.
I want to experience more joy.
I want to experience more peace.
And they're saying I just don'tknow where to begin.
Or maybe they're saying I justneed space to just be with
myself, be with other people whoare on this journey, gain
(02:58):
deeper insights, because what Iknow isn't serving me anymore.
All the things that I've triedto do are not moving the needle
anymore and getting the resultsthat I really want.
I'm tired of just doing it,just to be doing something.
I'm ready to go into a state ofbeing that brings more joy into
my life, brings more peace intomy life, expands and enhances
(03:19):
love and connection in my life.
I'm ready to start truly living.
I'm tired of surviving in anexperience that is not true to
me.
I'm ready to go back to a soullevel.
I'm ready to unlearn the thingsthat do not honor this
experience that I call my life.

they're not in the hustleculture, they're not so lost in
the noise.

Well, there's, but there areseveral other things on there as

So, if you like reading blogsor you're looking for deeper
insights, you want more clarity.
I believe there's about 17 onthere right now and I have many
new ones that are going to be onthe way, but I'm just trying to
create different ways to addvalue.
Also, if you are looking forcoaching, if you are in a space
(05:26):
where you're like I'm tired ofdoing this on my own, I'm tired
of investing in people,different situations and it's
not really taking me deeper.
My space in self mastery hasbeen a major focus for the past
two decades and I've been ableto work with people from all
over the world.
(05:47):
I've been able to impactthousands of lives potentially
millions of lives over the past20 years through various mediums
being on different stages,being interviewed on different
podcasts, speaking, sharingthings across different social
media platforms and being sharedacross other people's platforms
.
I've been able to impact a lotof people's lives, but, more
(06:08):
than anything, what I take themost conscious pride in is the
ability to create spaces forpeople where they can just show
up and just be human, be raw andreally have a safe space to
unload the things that they'vebeen carrying, to make room for
the things that they arerequired, to make room for the
(06:32):
growth, to make room for thepeace, to make room for the love
, to make room for the vision,to make room for the skills and
the different gifts that theyhave, and then guiding them on a
journey to show them how toactualize those different things
in every area of their lives.
And so I invite you guys tojoin me if you guys are seeking
(06:54):
something like that.
Now, moving forward, we areabout to launch off into season
three of the Evolve Masterypodcast.
I have a lot of new interviews.
I have a lot of new episodesthat I'm going to be posting.
You know I've gone on thisjourney, guys, and every time
(07:15):
that, especially being in thepersonal professional
development space, I felt thispush to do more episodes and I
would say, oh right, all right,and I would say, all right, we
got some new episodes on the way.
I would always feel pulled backwithin myself, and you guys
know me.
If you've been following thepodcast long enough, you know
that I'm always going to listento my spirit first, and I'm
always going to go deeper.
I'm always going to be, observeand pay attention to where I'm
(07:38):
being led, and so I really tooka hiatus, professionally
speaking, for a while.
Last year was a big year tojust focus on me, probably one
of my most successful, one of mymost challenging years ever,
you know, as far as a coach, aspeaker, a guide, but it took me
very deep.
It gave me a lot ofopportunities to really observe
the world, to really look atwhat's happening, why it's
(08:00):
happening, and to pay attentionto this collective story, the
collective ideals and ideas thatpeople are living their lives
by, and I began to see why somany people are so stuck, and so
I wanted to have a conversationtoday around the topic, around
the topic of escaping theillusion.
(08:22):
Letting go of the lies was whatwe.
Letting go of the lies is whatwe talked about on the last
podcast, but it's time to wakeup from this illusion.
We live in this collectiveillusion right now, where
everything is so noisy and youguys are going to hear me talk a
lot about this in some comingepisodes, just from different
(08:43):
perspectives.
But I was watching a videoyesterday and it was and and it
really challenged me to speak onsome of these things that I'm
going to be talking about today,because I realized that a lot
of the noise out there ishappening because people, even
(09:05):
those who are waking up, don'treally know how to navigate it,
because a lot of the frameworkthat we are stuck in, a lot of
the programs that we're stuck inall are encapsulated in these
various levels of perceptionthat have been taught into us,
even starting with the basicidea of language and
communication, right as a manthink.
(09:27):
It's so that man becomes.
And I realized that in thisworld it's human nature to try
to define things and make senseof things and give meaning to
things.
And I realized that the reasonthe collective consciousness
right now is so lost and eventhose waking up feel really just
bombarded by all the noise, isbecause we have to start taking
(09:51):
a step back.
We've gotten too lost in whatthis means, or what that means,
or who I am or what can I be,and we've gotten out of the idea
of simply being present and inmany cases we just don't know
what that truly means.
And so I'm going to talk about,you know, escaping the illusion
, learning to be present in yourlife, tuning out what is for
(10:14):
you or what is tuning out whatis not for you, so that you can
tap into what is in flow for you.
And I did a post on my Facebookbefore doing this podcast and I
was talking about how everybodywants to label everything we
have.
You know, as they call it, theABCD community, you know the
(10:36):
alphabet community, and you knowI say people choose to be how
you want to be.
But I feel like what theproblem is is everybody is
seeking validation and this onlyshows that you're still so
stuck in this personified ideaof self that you have not become
conscious that you simply are aspiritual being having a human
(10:57):
experience.
And so in the post, I was justkind of laughing and I said you
know, I'm just going to startcalling people human and if they
don't like that, I'm just goingto start saying alien.
But ultimately, what I wasgetting at and what I went on to
say in the post was that itdoesn't really matter what I
call myself, it doesn't matterwhat you call me.
You could walk up to me rightnow and say, hey, you're an
(11:19):
apple.
I'm going to laugh at you andI'm just not even from a space
of like trying to becondescending, or it's just
going to be very comical.
And I think where we are inhumanity is very comical when
you look at it from a state ofawareness, when you realize that
nothing means anything untilyou say it means something.
(11:39):
The moment you say it meanssomething and then you give that
meaning to it and you give anidentity to it and you give your
power to it in your worldexperience, in your perception,
that's how you're going to beginto identify with the experience
of that thing.
And so, for me, I observed theworld.
(12:01):
Humans are very interesting tome.
Here we are, these God beings,these energetic, conscious
beings with the potential ofpure magic to create whatever it
is that we desire from the mostbeautiful of experiences and we
are creating from such a finitereality.
(12:22):
We are so focused on thefiniteness of trying to define
and make sense of things andidentify and then get the
validation, and then to getpeople to believe with us and
see how I see and believe how Ibelieve and do what I do,
because this is true and this isreal.
All of that is relative.
All of it is relative.
(12:42):
Everything about your life,everything that you perceive.
Everything you think is allrelative.
Nothing means anything untilyou say it means something.
And so when we look at thecollective consciousness, when
we are talking about things likegovernment, religion, you know,
politics, social conditions,all these things, these are
(13:05):
nothing but a compilation ofbelief systems, ideas and
perspectives that people havegiven meaning to, to try to
define or assess what thisexperience we call life is, or
what their personal experienceis or will or can be.
(13:25):
And this is all a part of thenoise, this is all a part of the
delusion.
You believe that everythingthat you think, you believe that
everything that you think, sayand do is real.
And it's not.
It's just relative.
It's relative to what you, as adivine creator, say.
It is for you.
And sure you may meet otherpeople who believe like you, who
(13:48):
think like you, who want to beheld in this finite state of
mind like you, because thisworld is so real to you.
But at the end of the day, asI've said before, as I've said
in the previous podcast, none ofit is real.
This entire experience is arented experience and it's not
(14:11):
about trying to validateeverything and give meaning to
everything.
It's about experiencingeverything unattached from a
meaning, experiencing it from acreative and powerful state,
seeing what we can do with it,seeing what we can manifest with
it, seeing how far we canexpand it.
(14:31):
But what we're doing, whenwe're trying to label and
validate and explain away and,you know, compartmentalize all
of these things, what we'redoing is constricting the
experience.
And then we wonder again whyeverybody is so frustrated, why
everybody is so disconnected.
Because that's what happenswhen you become constricted.
(14:53):
That's what happens when youbecome so stuck in a reality or
an illusion or delusion that youhave made so real that you
don't move, you don't even seeyour power anymore, even though
you are the one power powering,even though you are the one
powering the entire delusion,the entire illusion, the entire
(15:15):
matrix experience.
And then you're collectivelyconnecting to others who have
also bought into that experience.
The more I've spent time insilence, the more I have spent
time with myself, the more I'verealized just the finiteness of
(15:36):
what this human experience hasbeen turned into, not what it is
.
What it has been turned into.
For me, the human experience isa journey.
It is nothing more than ajourney of me experiencing a
different aspect of creation ofthe universe, of this extra
(15:58):
sensory, perceptive or extrasensory perceived idea that we
call life.
My kids don't even belong to me.
This breath doesn't even belongto this body.
It's free, and so is everyoneelse in this existence.
How they define their reality,what they give meaning to is
(16:21):
what constricts them.
Even what I'm saying right nowultimately means nothing, but
what you give meaning to in whatI say will mean something to
you Because, as a creator,whatever you think about,
whatever you give power to, iswhat things become, and so I
don't give power to things thatconstrict me.
(16:44):
I have the experience, I assessthe experience.
I get to experience differentrelationships with different
energies, different people quoteunquote and I get to decide
what this means for me.
I get to decide what thisexperience is for me.
Nothing less, nothing more.
I get to choose whether Icreate joyful experiences or
(17:08):
miserable experiences.
I get to choose whether I livea life of love or I live a life
of fear.
I get to choose whether I'mgoing to complain or whether I'm
going to be proactive,productive, progressive and
expansive in my life.
It's all a choice, but at theend of the day, my life is my
reality.
(17:29):
I choose what my reality orwhat my relative experience is
going to be, and it is no oneelse's responsibility to decide
that for me.
I don't seek validation fromother people for my life,
because they will never walk inmy shoes, they will never
(17:50):
perceive my experiences, theywill never know what it feels
like for me.
And because I know that andbecause I honor every moment,
because I honor every experience, I don't really need to be
focused on any of that.
That's the noise.
I simply wake up every day withthis breath, experiencing this
(18:11):
body that is expressing itselfin form as this, as this idea
that the world knows asPrinceton.
And it's that simple.
And so I asked myself what do Iwant to use Princeton for in
the world?
What do I want to experiencethrough this experience of
(18:35):
Princeton?
Who do I want to experience?
Or rather, what energies,relationships, opportunities,
creativities or gifts do I wantto give birth to?
In this experience, I am soconscious of my power to choose
(18:56):
and my power of relativity, toassess and give power to the
things that either light me upor bring darkness or the absence
of light into my life, and thistakes a higher level of
awareness.
See, everybody wants to beheard, everybody wants to be
(19:18):
seen, everybody wants to beunderstood, and all of this is
noise.
I used to be, I used to be inthat space, I used to think like
that, I used to feel that way.
Even me doing this podcast,this is me simply sharing my
experience, and there are goingto be people, energetically, who
(19:38):
connect to what I'm saying, whoare going to listen to what I'm
saying and they're just goingto be like wow, like that's for
me.
I don't want to be attached tothe noise, I just want to be, I
just want to experience my life.
I just want to give birth tonew things, because it's not
promised that I'm going to getto do it tomorrow.
But once this finite experiencethat we call life is done, in
(20:02):
this dispensation of time, I'mgoing to enter into an entirely
different experience.
I'm going to enter into anentirely new space and I'm going
to get to experience things ina whole new way that this
version of Princeton won't existin, but I, as a divine,
creative being, will exist indeath.
(20:24):
Even that is an illusion, it'sjust an idea.
It's going to happen, it's apart of the process.
But energy never dies.
Spirit never dies.
It only takes on new form.
It can't be destroyed, it onlytakes on new form.
And so if I am conscious ofthat, then I understand just how
(20:45):
formless I am.
And so, by trying to define andgive meaning to everything,
what I do is I condense the form, I go into a state of delusion
in this experience that I callmy life, I go into a state of
illusion in the matrix that wecall this collective experience.
(21:07):
But it's time to break free.
It's time to wake up from thedelusion.
It's time to break free fromthe delusion, the illusion and
the matrix.
It's time to own our power asdivine creators, creating and
choosing the experiences of thisthing we call life.
Now you look at yourrelationships, you look at the
(21:31):
current reality that you havemanifested as a, as a, as a
divine creator.
As you assess that, don't judgeit.
Don't judge it and complainabout it and give these negative
meanings to it.
It means nothing.
It means nothing, no matterwhat happens.
It only means or becomes whatyou identify or give meaning to
(21:55):
it for it to be.
And I can keep saying that, butI'm saying it because I really
need you to comprehend thisthing.
I really need you to understandthat this is the truth that
will set you free If you learnto just live in a state of love,
find peace in simply enjoyingthe experience, letting go of
what doesn't bring joy and peaceinto your life, taking back
(22:18):
your ability of self-awareness,self-control in order to control
how you choose to respond,because we all know you can't
control all the externals.
You can only ever control howyou choose to respond and create
in your life.
And so I want to really justdrive that home, and I really
want people to get it, because Iused to be lost, very lost, but
(22:42):
now I'm free in my life and Iget to guide other people to
that freedom.
I get to guide other people tothat deeper state of being.
I get to create spaces thatchallenge people to go within to
really look at this idea ofself and this reality that they
have created and given so muchmeaning to, and I get to help
(23:03):
them, or assist them, rather, ingetting back to a place where
they begin to define itdifferently.
They begin to create somethingdifferent, and this is what I
want for you guys.
I want you guys to starttapping into being newness in
every moment, being expressivein every moment, being powerful
(23:27):
in every moment and reallyutilizing what you have been
given in your life to createthis life.
As you begin to processfollowing this podcast, as you
begin to think about where youcurrently are, as you begin to
assess what you have givenmeaning to, as you begin to
(23:47):
really look at the life thatyou're creating and the
experience that you're having inthis collective experience, I
want you to really take a stepback and I want you to ask
yourself what means what to me?
What means joy to me?
What means peace to me?
What means love to me?
What means success to me?
(24:09):
What means happiness to me?
What means fear to me?
And I want you to really thinkabout just how finite all those
things are, because even if youthink about the experience, what
used to mean love to me doesn'tmean love to me.
So my experience in love iscompletely different.
I used to see love as anemotion.
Now I see love as a state ofbeing.
(24:29):
I used to see relationships asa simple, finite experience, but
now I see it as an opportunityto engage, to connect at a
deeper level, to experience therelative world of someone else
that either is connected at adeeper level with me or a deeper
level of their experience, andI get to share in that
(24:50):
experience.
I have no attachment to them asfar as them belonging to me,
because ultimately, as I saidearlier, nothing belongs to me.
I simply get to experience itin the rented time that I have
here.
I don't get caught up in allthe noise and all the drama and
even the aspect of in thespiritual space.
(25:10):
Again, I'm going there and I'mtalking about things that I know
people have given deep thoughtinto as far as their finite
brains and their conceptualideas of things.
But even with the idea ofhealing, one thing you hear a
lot of, especially on socialmedia nowadays, is you have to
allow yourself to heal.
Well, the way that I perceivehealing is completely different.
(25:34):
I don't see healing as aprocess of mending something
that is broken or something thatis wrong with me.
I see healing as a process ofwaking up to me, see, because
when I am no longer attached towhat happened or what is, or who
did what and how they did it,and I'm not giving meaning to
(25:54):
everything, then it simply wasan experience that I get to
choose what I give an identityor a meaning to and then,
energetically, I get to takethat energy into my state of
being and I get to process thatenergy from whichever state of
awareness that I've now given itmeaning to.
But when I wake up and Irealize that ultimately it means
nothing, the longer I focus onthere being something wrong with
(26:18):
me.
This happened to me, thathappened to me.
This happened.
You experience something, yes,but it does not define you
unless you say that it does.
I was abused mentally,physically, verbally and
emotionally.
I was molested.
I did struggle with deepdepression.
I was on drugs.
I was an alcoholic.
(26:39):
I was an angry individual.
I did hate my life.
I did hate people.
I had many quote unquotetraumatic experiences.
Quote unquote traumaticexperiences in my life, based on
how people would define it.
But the reason I was able togrow beyond it and I don't see
(27:00):
it as that anymore is that now Isimply see every aspect of life
as an experience that ispassing by.
I don't attach to it.
See, the process of healing fora lot of people takes a long
time or the process of waking upfrom the lie that you have been
broken and you have beenwronged and someone did this to
(27:21):
you and how they did it to youwasn't right.
These belief system, theselabels, these ideas are what is
keeping you in this idea ofbeing unhealed?
But when I recognize that, waita minute, I am not.
This body, this body experiencethings in this human, finite
experience that you may label asnot right, not good, bad, wrong
(27:48):
, but ultimately it was just anexperience.
It was something that happenedand I stored the energy in my
body at one point and I keptfeeling the experience of that
energetic exchange.
Now, in the collective, we feelthe energetic exchange of the
turmoil, the dramas, the traumas, the wars, all of these
(28:11):
different things, and wecollectively give meaning to it
all.
We collectively give meaning tothe experience, identity to the
experience from a finite stateof awareness, because we need to
identify, or rather we chooseto identify it in order to point
it out and judge it, critiqueit, give our energy to it and
(28:32):
empower it.
But the moment we stop doingthat, we start taking our power
back from it, we start waking up, we start realizing that it is
what it is.
This experience that waschallenging, if I choose to see
it is that, or I could say, man,after I wake up, it was just a
(28:56):
dream.
Don Miguel Ruiz talks about thisin his book the Mastery of Love
.
How imagine that you're in thisworld and everyone in this
world is stuck in this dream.
They don't touch each other,they don't connect with each
other.
They're all stuck in this dream, this illusion of pain.
(29:17):
They don't wanna bump into eachother, so on and so forth.
He goes into the story.
If you have not read the bookthe Mastery of Love by Don
Miguel Ruiz, check it out, youwon't be disappointed.
But he says imagine that oneday you wake up and you're not
wounded anymore.
But you look around andeveryone else is.
(29:37):
And he just goes into thisbeautiful explanation.
But that's how it was for me.
I woke up one day and Irealized that wait a minute by
the very nature of me definingmyself as hurt or unhealed or
broken or wrong or not good,which were all things that were
(29:59):
programmed into me ordomesticated into me from the
time that I was a little child,by the very nature of me giving
meaning to them.
And then, as I get older, Istart domesticating myself into
these belief systems, theseideas, so on and so forth.
I am creating the experience,or how I perceive the experience
(30:21):
.
I create my perpetual hell, orI can create my perpetual joy,
my perpetual peace, my perpetualconnection to the experience.
This is what becoming moreaware and more conscious does to
(30:41):
your life, and it makes youlike an alien in the world,
because you're no longer stuckin the delusion, you're no
longer stuck in the illusion,you're no longer stuck in the
lie.
And so I wanna challenge youguys really begin to look at
what you give meaning to.
Why do you give so much powerto these little finite things we
(31:03):
call words?
Why do you give so much powerto these little finite things
that we call belief systems?
It's all BS and it's allhindering your life experience.
It's all hindering how you showup and how you can connect to,
or not connect to, every breathof the life that you live.
And I know for some people,because of what you've given
(31:27):
meaning to, because of whatother people have said, so on
and so forth, you have gottenlost in a lot of these belief
systems.
So some of what I'm saying willchallenge you.
It won't feel good because youhave given so much meaning to it
, the belief that none of thismeans anything.
It almost feels empty to you.
But the moment you realize that,in the finiteness of the
(31:49):
experience and none of itmeaning anything, that simply
means that you, as a divinecreator, get to choose what it
means for you.
Now, does that mean you didn'thave the experiences that you've
had?
No, it was an experience.
But I get to choose.
You know, sometimes people willask me you know?
(32:11):
Or they will.
Sometimes people will say to me, man, that's so sad that you
went through that.
And I say you know, I'mgrateful With every one thing
that I experienced.
It shattered the shell of theformer version of me or idea of
self that I thought wasPrinceton.
But Princeton is nothing morethan an idea.
That's it.
(32:32):
Princeton is not who my momsays.
Princeton is not who my dadsays.
Maybe in their perception ofthe world and their relative
experience, that's whatPrinceton is.
But Princeton is just an ideathat I get to express to the
world, and I know this soundsvery alien to a lot of people.
It sounds very foreign.
It sounds very foreign to thishuman experience that people
(32:55):
have been programmed into.
This is why society, religion,politics, all these things can
control you, because you don'tknow what you are.
You don't know that you are akingdom of dominion, experience.
And this is what, ultimately,jesus was trying to get people
to see, or Yeshua, his originalname.
(33:16):
This is what he was trying toget people to see is that you
are not the experience.
You do not belong to thegovernment, you do not belong to
a religion, you are none ofthese things.
That is a lie.
Repent that word, repentance inthe Aramaic language,
illustrates a coming back to aremembering, a waking up.
(33:37):
So ultimately he was sayingwake up, remember what you are,
beyond this idea of who youthink you are.
Seek the kingdom.
Jesus or Yeshua always talkedabout the kingdom in which, he
said, is in you or in thispersonified idea of self.
(33:57):
He said seek the first, thekingdom.
He said don't worry about whatyou're going to eat, don't worry
about what you're going to wear, don't worry about where you're
going to live, don't even worryabout tomorrow, for tomorrow
has enough concerns of its own.
Instead, seek you first, thekingdom and all these things
shall be added.
How?
Because the moment I realizedthat I am not bound by my
(34:18):
position.
I am not bound by my experience, but rather I am creating my
experience, because I am nolonger worried about it, because
I am now aware of what'shappening.
This is the freedom, he said.
When you know the truth, thetruth shall set you free.
See, now, I'm not missing themark, I'm not living in quote
(34:43):
unquote San, so to speak.
San is actually a military termthat they used to use when an
archer would fire at a target.
If they missed the mark, theywould yell San.
And so, ultimately, imagine thatevery time you're aiming to
identify and describe orunderstand or give meaning to
(35:04):
something on the external thatyou identify with, you're
missing the mark.
What you should be aimingtowards is the internal.
What you should be aimingtowards is the fact that you
have no attachment to anythingin this world.
None of it is binding you.
It is your belief that it isthat's binding you.
(35:27):
It is the belief that you arebad, that you are wrong, that
you are not good, that you arefailing, that you are not worthy
, that you don't deserve love,that you'll never be successful,
that you'll never have a nicehouse, that you'll never have a
nice car, you'll never haveenough money.
You weren't raised in the rightenvironment, still didn't give
(35:48):
you what you needed, you didn'tfeel supported.
On and on and on and on and on.
We go creating, identifying,magnifying and empowering our
own prisons.
But if we want to break freefrom the delusion, the illusion
and the matrix.
We must learn to turn within.
(36:10):
We must learn to look withinourselves and understand that
anything that we present to theworld, that anything that we
present to the world, is just anexperience, an idea that people
will connect to or not connectto, believe or not believe, give
(36:32):
meaning to or not give meaningto.
And regardless of what theychoose to do, it is not my
responsibility or I do not haveto give meaning to it.
I don't even have to give powerto it.
(36:55):
But what I will empower is myexperience to be present, true
present.
And awareness is aboutdisconnecting from the external
experience that you identifywith, being present in the
moment, observing the momentwithout giving meaning to the
(37:15):
moment.
It's about choosing in eachmoment what you will empower
with your power, and so I wantyou guys to think about that
today.
If you've been feeling stuck,you've been feeling like you're
not moving, you're notnavigating, you're not
experiencing the life that youreally want, it's because you're
(37:36):
so caught up in the noiseYou're still seeking validation,
you're still externally givingmeaning to things based on
belief systems that have beendomesticated and programmed into
you, but the moment you realizethat, ultimately, it means
nothing.
Until you say it meanssomething, nothing will change.
(38:00):
Change is the only constant.
It's always happening.
But because we attach twomeanings definitive, personified
ideas to self the mask that wecreate, the collective
consciousness and all themultitudes of ideas,
perspectives and meanings andall these different things that
(38:21):
society has created, the worldhas created and these systems
perpetually manipulate us into.
The more we do that, the morelost we become.
We become the blind followingthe blind.
But the moment we begin to see,we realize that we don't have
(38:42):
to live in the dream, we realizethat we don't have to live in
the mask, we realize that wedon't have to measure ourselves
or be validated by ideas of self, because, ultimately, what I
choose to be, what I choose toexperience, what I choose to
give meaning to, is going to bethe things that bring more peace
(39:03):
into my life, bring morepresence into my life, enhance
the experience in the moments ofthis lifetime in which I get to
experience, because I'm onlyhere for a moment, I'm only here
for a divine season, and whenthat season is up, the
experience on this plane ofexperience will also be up.
(39:27):
So let's start looking moreclearly into the mirror of our
experience.
What have you given meaning to?
What have you given identity to?
Are you truly ready to breakfree?
Are you truly ready to wake upfrom the dream of the delusion,
(39:50):
the illusion and the matrix?
I'm going to leave you guyswith that and I want you to
really take time to think on it.
You may have to go back andlisten to this podcast over and
over and over again, but youwill also notice if you go back
and listen to previous episodes.
You'll also notice thedifferent ways that I have grown
(40:11):
and evolved to get to thispoint.
But you know, this is why Idecided to host the new,
rejuvenated soul retreat Again.
That's going to be happeninghere in Scottsdale, arizona, may
the 27th through the 30th, andI invite you.
It's going to be an intimateevent.
There's only going to be 10people staying on location and
(40:36):
there are, I believe, four kingbeds left individual rooms and
then there's two shared roomsthat are left two queen beds in
one room and three queen beds inanother room.
But the location is beautiful.
If you want more information,the link is going to be in the
show notes or you can just go ifyou're listening right now in
front of a computer, or you canjust look it up as you're
(40:58):
listening.
Go to my website,princetonclarkcom, but I'll be
putting all the information downbelow.
If you are ready to break freefrom the matrix, you are ready
to break free from the noise andthis is really speaking to you
right now You're ready to wakeup from the delusion, you're
ready to wake up from theillusion, you're ready to wake
(41:18):
up from the matrix and the dreamof the pain of this world.
If you're really ready, Iinvite you to join me.
You may be saying, ok, I'mready, but I want to work with
someone, one on one.
I need a guide.
If that's, you, reach out to meon my website Again, that's
PrincetonClarkcom and reallytake a look at it, read into it.
(41:43):
There's a lot of informationthere.
But if you are ready for adeeper experience, if you're
ready to create more experience,more whether it's personally,
professionally, relationally,mentally, emotionally,
physically if you're ready tomove more deeply into the
experience of your life, thisbasic understanding is the root
(42:04):
of all of those things and, as Ialways say, you are the root to
the tree of your life.
If you're not manifesting theroot or, excuse me, if you're
not manifesting the fruit, it'sbecause the root is off.
It's because you'vedisconnected, you're not rooted
in, and so I want to guide youto that place that unlocks that
(42:27):
deeper awareness, that unlocksthat deeper connection, and if
that's what you're ready for,reach out to me.
If you don't follow me onsocial media, follow me at
PrincetonClark.
I share a lot of differentthings.
I've worked in the professionalspace.
If you're new to the podcast,again, I've worked with people
like Tony Robbins, dean Graziosee, you know so many others.
You know my earlier mentors andteachers that I've worked with,
(42:51):
as I said in previous podcasts,or Dr Wayne Dyer, les Brown,
zig Ziglar different people thatI've experienced, you know, in
the experience of their lives.
But ultimately, nothing hastaught me more than my own
spirit, Nothing has taught memore than connecting to the
deeper levels of me, and so thereason that I can move the way
(43:15):
that I do isn't because of somereligion or some collective
belief.
It's because of an awareness,and awareness will always trump
belief, because belief is basedon idea.
Awareness is based on a stateof being.

Hey, what's going on guys?
Welcome to this episode ofEvolve Mastery, princeton Clark
here.
I hope you guys are doing well.
You know, I came on today and Ihad this idea for what I was
going to do on this podcast andwhat I was going to discuss, but
I'm feeling led to move in adifferent direction.
But before I launch off intothis conversation today because
(00:29):
that's ultimately what this isgoing to be it's going to be a
conversation, right, but I justwant to give you guys some quick
updates.
If you missed the last podcaston letting go of the lies,
definitely go check that out.
You don't want to miss it,especially if you're in a place
in your life and you're tryingto figure out.
Why do I keep creating the samereality that I keep creating?
(00:49):
Why am I not getting theresults that I truly desire to
get?
Why do I feel like I'm stuck?
Why do I feel like myrelationships are out of
alignment?
Why do I feel like, every timeI go to create this life that I
say I want, why do I seem tofall back into the same habits?
Why do I seem to fall back intothe same routines, consciously?
(01:11):
What is happening?
What am I doing and what can Ido differently to create
something new?
What will it take in order forme to truly live a life that is
fulfilling?
If any of those speak to you,then you want to go back and you
want to check out the lastepisode, episode 38, where I
(01:32):
talk about letting go of thelies, breaking free Now, right
now.
I have a lot of things going onright now, guys, so I just
updated my website,princetonclarkecom.
A lot of new things on there.
I also mentioned that on thelast podcast, but a lot of new
things are on the new website.
I have a retreat that's comingup in May.
That's going to be the 27th.
(01:55):
I have a retreat that's comingup in May.
That's on the 27th through the30th and it's the rejuvenated
soul retreat, because I realize,you know, a lot of people are
so stuck in the noise and theyjust need a space where they can
come, take the mask off, takethe weight of the world off,
take their personified idea ofself off and really just go
deeper.
(02:15):
They've been feeling this shift, they've been feeling this
calling.
They know that something has tochange.
The world is changing, theirlives are changing, things are
manifesting or being strippedaway from them really fast and
they know that they're beingcalled into something new, but
they don't really know how tonavigate it.
They're trying to figure out.
(02:35):
Okay.
Well, how do I move into this?
What is this experience?
I want to become moreconsciously aware.
I want to experience morefulfillment.
I want to experience more joy.
I want to experience more peace.
And they're saying I just don'tknow where to begin.
Or maybe they're saying I justneed space to just be with
myself, be with other people whoare on this journey, gain
(02:58):
deeper insights, because what Iknow isn't serving me anymore.
All the things that I've triedto do are not moving the needle
anymore and getting the resultsthat I really want.
I'm tired of just doing it,just to be doing something.
I'm ready to go into a state ofbeing that brings more joy into
my life, brings more peace intomy life, expands and enhances
(03:19):
love and connection in my life.
I'm ready to start truly living.
I'm tired of surviving in anexperience that is not true to
me.
I'm ready to go back to a soullevel.
I'm ready to unlearn the thingsthat do not honor this
experience that I call my life.
If that's you, go over toPrincetonClarkcom.
(03:39):
Check out the website, just godown to where you see retreat
and you can get all of thatinformation.
But I want to add value to yourlives, guys, so I'm always
doing something for myentrepreneurs out there.

It's the next level masterymentorship program and it's a
holistic approach to creating alife of purpose, building a
(04:01):
legacy.

looking for a community.
You're looking for a spacewhere you can get weekly
insights, hear from people whohave done the work and people
who are implementing thepractices holistically in their
life, who don't focus on thehustle and bustle of life,
they're not in the hustleculture, they're not so lost in
the noise.
(04:21):
If that's you and you'relooking for a space where you
can also have weekly Q&A groupcoaching calls, right now, the
next level mastery program isonly the next level mastery
program is only $55.
Right now, the next levelmastery program is only $55.
And if that's something thatyou've been looking for, if
(04:43):
that's something that you feellike would really serve you
where you are, then youdefinitely want to check that
out.
But there's several otherthings on there as well.
Well, there's, but there areseveral other things on there as
well.
I also have my inspirationalaudio that's Time to Rise, and I
(05:05):
have a new blog that's also onthere.
So, if you like reading blogsor you're looking for deeper
insights, you want more clarity.
I believe there's about 17 onthere right now and I have many
new ones that are going to be onthe way, but I'm just trying to
create different ways to addvalue.
Also, if you are looking forcoaching, if you are in a space
(05:26):
where you're like I'm tired ofdoing this on my own, I'm tired
of investing in people,different situations and it's
not really taking me deeper.
My space in self mastery hasbeen a major focus for the past
two decades and I've been ableto work with people from all
over the world.
(05:47):
I've been able to impactthousands of lives potentially
millions of lives over the past20 years through various mediums
being on different stages,being interviewed on different
podcasts, speaking, sharingthings across different social
media platforms and being sharedacross other people's platforms
.
I've been able to impact a lotof people's lives, but, more
(06:08):
than anything, what I take themost conscious pride in is the
ability to create spaces forpeople where they can just show
up and just be human, be raw andreally have a safe space to
unload the things that they'vebeen carrying, to make room for
the things that they arerequired, to make room for the
(06:32):
growth, to make room for thepeace, to make room for the love
, to make room for the vision,to make room for the skills and
the different gifts that theyhave, and then guiding them on a
journey to show them how toactualize those different things
in every area of their lives.
And so I invite you guys tojoin me if you guys are seeking
(06:54):
something like that.
Now, moving forward, we areabout to launch off into season
three of the Evolve Masterypodcast.
I have a lot of new interviews.
I have a lot of new episodesthat I'm going to be posting.
You know I've gone on thisjourney, guys, and every time
(07:15):
that, especially being in thepersonal professional
development space, I felt thispush to do more episodes and I
would say, oh right, all right,and I would say, all right, we
got some new episodes on the way.
I would always feel pulled backwithin myself, and you guys
know me.
If you've been following thepodcast long enough, you know
that I'm always going to listento my spirit first, and I'm
always going to go deeper.
I'm always going to be, observeand pay attention to where I'm
(07:38):
being led, and so I really tooka hiatus, professionally
speaking, for a while.
Last year was a big year tojust focus on me, probably one
of my most successful, one of mymost challenging years ever,
you know, as far as a coach, aspeaker, a guide, but it took me
very deep.
It gave me a lot ofopportunities to really observe
the world, to really look atwhat's happening, why it's
(08:00):
happening, and to pay attentionto this collective story, the
collective ideals and ideas thatpeople are living their lives
by, and I began to see why somany people are so stuck, and so
I wanted to have a conversationtoday around the topic, around
the topic of escaping theillusion.
(08:22):
Letting go of the lies was whatwe.
Letting go of the lies is whatwe talked about on the last
podcast, but it's time to wakeup from this illusion.
We live in this collectiveillusion right now, where
everything is so noisy and youguys are going to hear me talk a
lot about this in some comingepisodes, just from different
(08:43):
perspectives.
But I was watching a videoyesterday and it was and and it
really challenged me to speak onsome of these things that I'm
going to be talking about today,because I realized that a lot
of the noise out there ishappening because people, even
(09:05):
those who are waking up, don'treally know how to navigate it,
because a lot of the frameworkthat we are stuck in, a lot of
the programs that we're stuck inall are encapsulated in these
various levels of perceptionthat have been taught into us,
even starting with the basicidea of language and
communication, right as a manthink.
(09:27):
It's so that man becomes.
And I realized that in thisworld it's human nature to try
to define things and make senseof things and give meaning to
things.
And I realized that the reasonthe collective consciousness
right now is so lost and eventhose waking up feel really just
bombarded by all the noise, isbecause we have to start taking
(09:51):
a step back.
We've gotten too lost in whatthis means, or what that means,
or who I am or what can I be,and we've gotten out of the idea
of simply being present and inmany cases we just don't know
what that truly means.
And so I'm going to talk about,you know, escaping the illusion
, learning to be present in yourlife, tuning out what is for
(10:14):
you or what is tuning out whatis not for you, so that you can
tap into what is in flow for you.
And I did a post on my Facebookbefore doing this podcast and I
was talking about how everybodywants to label everything we
have.
You know, as they call it, theABCD community, you know the
(10:36):
alphabet community, and you knowI say people choose to be how
you want to be.
But I feel like what theproblem is is everybody is
seeking validation and this onlyshows that you're still so
stuck in this personified ideaof self that you have not become
conscious that you simply are aspiritual being having a human
(10:57):
experience.
And so in the post, I was justkind of laughing and I said you
know, I'm just going to startcalling people human and if they
don't like that, I'm just goingto start saying alien.
But ultimately, what I wasgetting at and what I went on to
say in the post was that itdoesn't really matter what I
call myself, it doesn't matterwhat you call me.
You could walk up to me rightnow and say, hey, you're an
(11:19):
apple.
I'm going to laugh at you andI'm just not even from a space
of like trying to becondescending, or it's just
going to be very comical.
And I think where we are inhumanity is very comical when
you look at it from a state ofawareness, when you realize that
nothing means anything untilyou say it means something.
(11:39):
The moment you say it meanssomething and then you give that
meaning to it and you give anidentity to it and you give your
power to it in your worldexperience, in your perception,
that's how you're going to beginto identify with the experience
of that thing.
And so, for me, I observed theworld.
(12:01):
Humans are very interesting tome.
Here we are, these God beings,these energetic, conscious
beings with the potential ofpure magic to create whatever it
is that we desire from the mostbeautiful of experiences and we
are creating from such a finitereality.
(12:22):
We are so focused on thefiniteness of trying to define
and make sense of things andidentify and then get the
validation, and then to getpeople to believe with us and
see how I see and believe how Ibelieve and do what I do,
because this is true and this isreal.
All of that is relative.
All of it is relative.
(12:42):
Everything about your life,everything that you perceive.
Everything you think is allrelative.
Nothing means anything untilyou say it means something.
And so when we look at thecollective consciousness, when
we are talking about things likegovernment, religion, you know,
politics, social conditions,all these things, these are
(13:05):
nothing but a compilation ofbelief systems, ideas and
perspectives that people havegiven meaning to, to try to
define or assess what thisexperience we call life is, or
what their personal experienceis or will or can be.
(13:25):
And this is all a part of thenoise, this is all a part of the
delusion.
You believe that everythingthat you think, you believe that
everything that you think, sayand do is real.
And it's not.
It's just relative.
It's relative to what you, as adivine creator, say.
It is for you.
And sure you may meet otherpeople who believe like you, who
(13:48):
think like you, who want to beheld in this finite state of
mind like you, because thisworld is so real to you.
But at the end of the day, asI've said before, as I've said
in the previous podcast, none ofit is real.
This entire experience is arented experience and it's not
(14:11):
about trying to validateeverything and give meaning to
everything.
It's about experiencingeverything unattached from a
meaning, experiencing it from acreative and powerful state,
seeing what we can do with it,seeing what we can manifest with
it, seeing how far we canexpand it.
(14:31):
But what we're doing, whenwe're trying to label and
validate and explain away and,you know, compartmentalize all
of these things, what we'redoing is constricting the
experience.
And then we wonder again whyeverybody is so frustrated, why
everybody is so disconnected.
Because that's what happenswhen you become constricted.
(14:53):
That's what happens when youbecome so stuck in a reality or
an illusion or delusion that youhave made so real that you
don't move, you don't even seeyour power anymore, even though
you are the one power powering,even though you are the one
powering the entire delusion,the entire illusion, the entire
(15:15):
matrix experience.
And then you're collectivelyconnecting to others who have
also bought into that experience.
The more I've spent time insilence, the more I have spent
time with myself, the more I'verealized just the finiteness of
(15:36):
what this human experience hasbeen turned into, not what it is
.
What it has been turned into.
For me, the human experience isa journey.
It is nothing more than ajourney of me experiencing a
different aspect of creation ofthe universe, of this extra
(15:58):
sensory, perceptive or extrasensory perceived idea that we
call life.
My kids don't even belong to me.
This breath doesn't even belongto this body.
It's free, and so is everyoneelse in this existence.
How they define their reality,what they give meaning to is
(16:21):
what constricts them.
Even what I'm saying right nowultimately means nothing, but
what you give meaning to in whatI say will mean something to
you Because, as a creator,whatever you think about,
whatever you give power to, iswhat things become, and so I
don't give power to things thatconstrict me.
(16:44):
I have the experience, I assessthe experience.
I get to experience differentrelationships with different
energies, different people quoteunquote and I get to decide
what this means for me.
I get to decide what thisexperience is for me.
Nothing less, nothing more.
I get to choose whether Icreate joyful experiences or
(17:08):
miserable experiences.
I get to choose whether I livea life of love or I live a life
of fear.
I get to choose whether I'mgoing to complain or whether I'm
going to be proactive,productive, progressive and
expansive in my life.
It's all a choice, but at theend of the day, my life is my
reality.
(17:29):
I choose what my reality orwhat my relative experience is
going to be, and it is no oneelse's responsibility to decide
that for me.
I don't seek validation fromother people for my life,
because they will never walk inmy shoes, they will never
(17:50):
perceive my experiences, theywill never know what it feels
like for me.
And because I know that andbecause I honor every moment,
because I honor every experience, I don't really need to be
focused on any of that.
That's the noise.
I simply wake up every day withthis breath, experiencing this
(18:11):
body that is expressing itselfin form as this, as this idea
that the world knows asPrinceton.
And it's that simple.
And so I asked myself what do Iwant to use Princeton for in
the world?
What do I want to experiencethrough this experience of
(18:35):
Princeton?
Who do I want to experience?
Or rather, what energies,relationships, opportunities,
creativities or gifts do I wantto give birth to?
In this experience, I am soconscious of my power to choose
(18:56):
and my power of relativity, toassess and give power to the
things that either light me upor bring darkness or the absence
of light into my life, and thistakes a higher level of
awareness.
See, everybody wants to beheard, everybody wants to be
(19:18):
seen, everybody wants to beunderstood, and all of this is
noise.
I used to be, I used to be inthat space, I used to think like
that, I used to feel that way.
Even me doing this podcast,this is me simply sharing my
experience, and there are goingto be people, energetically, who
(19:38):
connect to what I'm saying, whoare going to listen to what I'm
saying and they're just goingto be like wow, like that's for
me.
I don't want to be attached tothe noise, I just want to be, I
just want to experience my life.
I just want to give birth tonew things, because it's not
promised that I'm going to getto do it tomorrow.
But once this finite experiencethat we call life is done, in
(20:02):
this dispensation of time, I'mgoing to enter into an entirely
different experience.
I'm going to enter into anentirely new space and I'm going
to get to experience things ina whole new way that this
version of Princeton won't existin, but I, as a divine,
creative being, will exist indeath.
(20:24):
Even that is an illusion, it'sjust an idea.
It's going to happen, it's apart of the process.
But energy never dies.
Spirit never dies.
It only takes on new form.
It can't be destroyed, it onlytakes on new form.
And so if I am conscious ofthat, then I understand just how
(20:45):
formless I am.
And so, by trying to define andgive meaning to everything,
what I do is I condense the form, I go into a state of delusion
in this experience that I callmy life, I go into a state of
illusion in the matrix that wecall this collective experience.
(21:07):
But it's time to break free.
It's time to wake up from thedelusion.
It's time to break free fromthe delusion, the illusion and
the matrix.
It's time to own our power asdivine creators, creating and
choosing the experiences of thisthing we call life.
Now you look at yourrelationships, you look at the
(21:31):
current reality that you havemanifested as a, as a, as a
divine creator.
As you assess that, don't judgeit.
Don't judge it and complainabout it and give these negative
meanings to it.
It means nothing.
It means nothing, no matterwhat happens.
It only means or becomes whatyou identify or give meaning to
(21:55):
it for it to be.
And I can keep saying that, butI'm saying it because I really
need you to comprehend thisthing.
I really need you to understandthat this is the truth that
will set you free If you learnto just live in a state of love,
find peace in simply enjoyingthe experience, letting go of
what doesn't bring joy and peaceinto your life, taking back
(22:18):
your ability of self-awareness,self-control in order to control
how you choose to respond,because we all know you can't
control all the externals.
You can only ever control howyou choose to respond and create
in your life.
And so I want to really justdrive that home, and I really
want people to get it, because Iused to be lost, very lost, but
(22:42):
now I'm free in my life and Iget to guide other people to
that freedom.
I get to guide other people tothat deeper state of being.
I get to create spaces thatchallenge people to go within to
really look at this idea ofself and this reality that they
have created and given so muchmeaning to, and I get to help
(23:03):
them, or assist them, rather, ingetting back to a place where
they begin to define itdifferently.
They begin to create somethingdifferent, and this is what I
want for you guys.
I want you guys to starttapping into being newness in
every moment, being expressivein every moment, being powerful
(23:27):
in every moment and reallyutilizing what you have been
given in your life to createthis life.
As you begin to processfollowing this podcast, as you
begin to think about where youcurrently are, as you begin to
assess what you have givenmeaning to, as you begin to
(23:47):
really look at the life thatyou're creating and the
experience that you're having inthis collective experience, I
want you to really take a stepback and I want you to ask
yourself what means what to me?
What means joy to me?
What means peace to me?
What means love to me?
What means success to me?
(24:09):
What means happiness to me?
What means fear to me?
And I want you to really thinkabout just how finite all those
things are, because even if youthink about the experience, what
used to mean love to me doesn'tmean love to me.
So my experience in love iscompletely different.
I used to see love as anemotion.
Now I see love as a state ofbeing.
(24:29):
I used to see relationships asa simple, finite experience, but
now I see it as an opportunityto engage, to connect at a
deeper level, to experience therelative world of someone else
that either is connected at adeeper level with me or a deeper
level of their experience, andI get to share in that
(24:50):
experience.
I have no attachment to them asfar as them belonging to me,
because ultimately, as I saidearlier, nothing belongs to me.
I simply get to experience itin the rented time that I have
here.
I don't get caught up in allthe noise and all the drama and
even the aspect of in thespiritual space.
(25:10):
Again, I'm going there and I'mtalking about things that I know
people have given deep thoughtinto as far as their finite
brains and their conceptualideas of things.
But even with the idea ofhealing, one thing you hear a
lot of, especially on socialmedia nowadays, is you have to
allow yourself to heal.
Well, the way that I perceivehealing is completely different.
(25:34):
I don't see healing as aprocess of mending something
that is broken or something thatis wrong with me.
I see healing as a process ofwaking up to me, see, because
when I am no longer attached towhat happened or what is, or who
did what and how they did it,and I'm not giving meaning to
(25:54):
everything, then it simply wasan experience that I get to
choose what I give an identityor a meaning to and then,
energetically, I get to takethat energy into my state of
being and I get to process thatenergy from whichever state of
awareness that I've now given itmeaning to.
But when I wake up and Irealize that ultimately it means
nothing, the longer I focus onthere being something wrong with
(26:18):
me.
This happened to me, thathappened to me.
This happened.
You experience something, yes,but it does not define you
unless you say that it does.
I was abused mentally,physically, verbally and
emotionally.
I was molested.
I did struggle with deepdepression.
I was on drugs.
I was an alcoholic.
(26:39):
I was an angry individual.
I did hate my life.
I did hate people.
I had many quote unquotetraumatic experiences.
Quote unquote traumaticexperiences in my life, based on
how people would define it.
But the reason I was able togrow beyond it and I don't see
(27:00):
it as that anymore is that now Isimply see every aspect of life
as an experience that ispassing by.
I don't attach to it.
See, the process of healing fora lot of people takes a long
time or the process of waking upfrom the lie that you have been
broken and you have beenwronged and someone did this to
(27:21):
you and how they did it to youwasn't right.
These belief system, theselabels, these ideas are what is
keeping you in this idea ofbeing unhealed?
But when I recognize that, waita minute, I am not.
This body, this body experiencethings in this human, finite
experience that you may label asnot right, not good, bad, wrong
(27:48):
, but ultimately it was just anexperience.
It was something that happenedand I stored the energy in my
body at one point and I keptfeeling the experience of that
energetic exchange.
Now, in the collective, we feelthe energetic exchange of the
turmoil, the dramas, the traumas, the wars, all of these
(28:11):
different things, and wecollectively give meaning to it
all.
We collectively give meaning tothe experience, identity to the
experience from a finite stateof awareness, because we need to
identify, or rather we chooseto identify it in order to point
it out and judge it, critiqueit, give our energy to it and
(28:32):
empower it.
But the moment we stop doingthat, we start taking our power
back from it, we start waking up, we start realizing that it is
what it is.
This experience that waschallenging, if I choose to see
it is that, or I could say, man,after I wake up, it was just a
(28:56):
dream.
Don Miguel Ruiz talks about thisin his book the Mastery of Love
.
How imagine that you're in thisworld and everyone in this
world is stuck in this dream.
They don't touch each other,they don't connect with each
other.
They're all stuck in this dream, this illusion of pain.
(29:17):
They don't wanna bump into eachother, so on and so forth.
He goes into the story.
If you have not read the bookthe Mastery of Love by Don
Miguel Ruiz, check it out, youwon't be disappointed.
But he says imagine that oneday you wake up and you're not
wounded anymore.
But you look around andeveryone else is.
(29:37):
And he just goes into thisbeautiful explanation.
But that's how it was for me.
I woke up one day and Irealized that wait a minute by
the very nature of me definingmyself as hurt or unhealed or
broken or wrong or not good,which were all things that were
(29:59):
programmed into me ordomesticated into me from the
time that I was a little child,by the very nature of me giving
meaning to them.
And then, as I get older, Istart domesticating myself into
these belief systems, theseideas, so on and so forth.
I am creating the experience,or how I perceive the experience
(30:21):
.
I create my perpetual hell, orI can create my perpetual joy,
my perpetual peace, my perpetualconnection to the experience.
This is what becoming moreaware and more conscious does to
(30:41):
your life, and it makes youlike an alien in the world,
because you're no longer stuckin the delusion, you're no
longer stuck in the illusion,you're no longer stuck in the
lie.
And so I wanna challenge youguys really begin to look at
what you give meaning to.
Why do you give so much powerto these little finite things we
(31:03):
call words?
Why do you give so much powerto these little finite things
that we call belief systems?
It's all BS and it's allhindering your life experience.
It's all hindering how you showup and how you can connect to,
or not connect to, every breathof the life that you live.
And I know for some people,because of what you've given
(31:27):
meaning to, because of whatother people have said, so on
and so forth, you have gottenlost in a lot of these belief
systems.
So some of what I'm saying willchallenge you.
It won't feel good because youhave given so much meaning to it
, the belief that none of thismeans anything.
It almost feels empty to you.
But the moment you realize that,in the finiteness of the
(31:49):
experience and none of itmeaning anything, that simply
means that you, as a divinecreator, get to choose what it
means for you.
Now, does that mean you didn'thave the experiences that you've
had?
No, it was an experience.
But I get to choose.
You know, sometimes people willask me you know?
(32:11):
Or they will.
Sometimes people will say to me, man, that's so sad that you
went through that.
And I say you know, I'mgrateful With every one thing
that I experienced.
It shattered the shell of theformer version of me or idea of
self that I thought wasPrinceton.
But Princeton is nothing morethan an idea.
That's it.
(32:32):
Princeton is not who my momsays.
Princeton is not who my dadsays.
Maybe in their perception ofthe world and their relative
experience, that's whatPrinceton is.
But Princeton is just an ideathat I get to express to the
world, and I know this soundsvery alien to a lot of people.
It sounds very foreign.
It sounds very foreign to thishuman experience that people
(32:55):
have been programmed into.
This is why society, religion,politics, all these things can
control you, because you don'tknow what you are.
You don't know that you are akingdom of dominion, experience.
And this is what, ultimately,jesus was trying to get people
to see, or Yeshua, his originalname.
(33:16):
This is what he was trying toget people to see is that you
are not the experience.
You do not belong to thegovernment, you do not belong to
a religion, you are none ofthese things.
That is a lie.
Repent that word, repentance inthe Aramaic language,
illustrates a coming back to aremembering, a waking up.
(33:37):
So ultimately he was sayingwake up, remember what you are,
beyond this idea of who youthink you are.
Seek the kingdom.
Jesus or Yeshua always talkedabout the kingdom in which, he
said, is in you or in thispersonified idea of self.
(33:57):
He said seek the first, thekingdom.
He said don't worry about whatyou're going to eat, don't worry
about what you're going to wear, don't worry about where you're
going to live, don't even worryabout tomorrow, for tomorrow
has enough concerns of its own.
Instead, seek you first, thekingdom and all these things
shall be added.
How?
Because the moment I realizedthat I am not bound by my
(34:18):
position.
I am not bound by my experience, but rather I am creating my
experience, because I am nolonger worried about it, because
I am now aware of what'shappening.
This is the freedom, he said.
When you know the truth, thetruth shall set you free.
See, now, I'm not missing themark, I'm not living in quote
(34:43):
unquote San, so to speak.
San is actually a military termthat they used to use when an
archer would fire at a target.
If they missed the mark, theywould yell San.
And so, ultimately, imagine thatevery time you're aiming to
identify and describe orunderstand or give meaning to
(35:04):
something on the external thatyou identify with, you're
missing the mark.
What you should be aimingtowards is the internal.
What you should be aimingtowards is the fact that you
have no attachment to anythingin this world.
None of it is binding you.
It is your belief that it isthat's binding you.
(35:27):
It is the belief that you arebad, that you are wrong, that
you are not good, that you arefailing, that you are not worthy
, that you don't deserve love,that you'll never be successful,
that you'll never have a nicehouse, that you'll never have a
nice car, you'll never haveenough money.
You weren't raised in the rightenvironment, still didn't give
(35:48):
you what you needed, you didn'tfeel supported.
On and on and on and on and on.
We go creating, identifying,magnifying and empowering our
own prisons.
But if we want to break freefrom the delusion, the illusion
and the matrix.
We must learn to turn within.
(36:10):
We must learn to look withinourselves and understand that
anything that we present to theworld, that anything that we
present to the world, is just anexperience, an idea that people
will connect to or not connectto, believe or not believe, give
(36:32):
meaning to or not give meaningto.
And regardless of what theychoose to do, it is not my
responsibility or I do not haveto give meaning to it.
I don't even have to give powerto it.
(36:55):
But what I will empower is myexperience to be present, true
present.
And awareness is aboutdisconnecting from the external
experience that you identifywith, being present in the
moment, observing the momentwithout giving meaning to the
(37:15):
moment.
It's about choosing in eachmoment what you will empower
with your power, and so I wantyou guys to think about that
today.
If you've been feeling stuck,you've been feeling like you're
not moving, you're notnavigating, you're not
experiencing the life that youreally want, it's because you're
(37:36):
so caught up in the noiseYou're still seeking validation,
you're still externally givingmeaning to things based on
belief systems that have beendomesticated and programmed into
you, but the moment you realizethat, ultimately, it means
nothing.
Until you say it meanssomething, nothing will change.
(38:00):
Change is the only constant.
It's always happening.
But because we attach twomeanings definitive, personified
ideas to self the mask that wecreate, the collective
consciousness and all themultitudes of ideas,
perspectives and meanings andall these different things that
(38:21):
society has created, the worldhas created and these systems
perpetually manipulate us into.
The more we do that, the morelost we become.
We become the blind followingthe blind.
But the moment we begin to see,we realize that we don't have
(38:42):
to live in the dream, we realizethat we don't have to live in
the mask, we realize that wedon't have to measure ourselves
or be validated by ideas of self, because, ultimately, what I
choose to be, what I choose toexperience, what I choose to
give meaning to, is going to bethe things that bring more peace
(39:03):
into my life, bring morepresence into my life, enhance
the experience in the moments ofthis lifetime in which I get to
experience, because I'm onlyhere for a moment, I'm only here
for a divine season, and whenthat season is up, the
experience on this plane ofexperience will also be up.
(39:27):
So let's start looking moreclearly into the mirror of our
experience.
What have you given meaning to?
What have you given identity to?
Are you truly ready to breakfree?
Are you truly ready to wake upfrom the dream of the delusion,
(39:50):
the illusion and the matrix?
I'm going to leave you guyswith that and I want you to
really take time to think on it.
You may have to go back andlisten to this podcast over and
over and over again, but youwill also notice if you go back
and listen to previous episodes.
You'll also notice thedifferent ways that I have grown
(40:11):
and evolved to get to thispoint.
But you know, this is why Idecided to host the new,
rejuvenated soul retreat Again.
That's going to be happeninghere in Scottsdale, arizona, may
the 27th through the 30th, andI invite you.
It's going to be an intimateevent.
There's only going to be 10people staying on location and
(40:36):
there are, I believe, four kingbeds left individual rooms and
then there's two shared roomsthat are left two queen beds in
one room and three queen beds inanother room.
But the location is beautiful.
If you want more information,the link is going to be in the
show notes or you can just go ifyou're listening right now in
front of a computer, or you canjust look it up as you're
(40:58):
listening.
Go to my website,princetonclarkcom, but I'll be
putting all the information downbelow.
If you are ready to break freefrom the matrix, you are ready
to break free from the noise andthis is really speaking to you
right now You're ready to wakeup from the delusion, you're
ready to wake up from theillusion, you're ready to wake
(41:18):
up from the matrix and the dreamof the pain of this world.
If you're really ready, Iinvite you to join me.
You may be saying, ok, I'mready, but I want to work with
someone, one on one.
I need a guide.
If that's, you, reach out to meon my website Again, that's
PrincetonClarkcom and reallytake a look at it, read into it.
(41:43):
There's a lot of informationthere.
But if you are ready for adeeper experience, if you're
ready to create more experience,more whether it's personally,
professionally, relationally,mentally, emotionally,
physically if you're ready tomove more deeply into the
experience of your life, thisbasic understanding is the root
(42:04):
of all of those things and, as Ialways say, you are the root to
the tree of your life.
If you're not manifesting theroot or, excuse me, if you're
not manifesting the fruit, it'sbecause the root is off.
It's because you'vedisconnected, you're not rooted
in, and so I want to guide youto that place that unlocks that
(42:27):
deeper awareness, that unlocksthat deeper connection, and if
that's what you're ready for,reach out to me.
If you don't follow me onsocial media, follow me at
PrincetonClark.
I share a lot of differentthings.
I've worked in the professionalspace.
If you're new to the podcast,again, I've worked with people
like Tony Robbins, dean Graziosee, you know so many others.
You know my earlier mentors andteachers that I've worked with,
(42:51):
as I said in previous podcasts,or Dr Wayne Dyer, les Brown,
zig Ziglar different people thatI've experienced, you know, in
the experience of their lives.
But ultimately, nothing hastaught me more than my own
spirit, Nothing has taught memore than connecting to the
deeper levels of me, and so thereason that I can move the way
(43:15):
that I do isn't because of somereligion or some collective
belief.
It's because of an awareness,and awareness will always trump
belief, because belief is basedon idea.
Awareness is based on a stateof being.
