Speaker 1 (00:00):
Again, be your own advocate, do your own research.
Make it so that way you figurethings out on your own.
Don't take what I'm saying oranybody else is saying at face
value.
Just because some expert saysit doesn't mean that it's true.
Just because it's written in abook or online somewhere doesn't
(00:22):
mean that it's true.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Hello and welcome back to the Forbidden Knowledge
Podcast.
My name is Nathaniel Kuitmacherand I am the host.
In last week's show, we weretalking about living in the
present moment, but in this weekwe're going to be moving on to
the next step, which has to dowith activating the physical
body.
This was an extremely importantstep to the ancients and this
(01:42):
has to do with a multitude ofreasons, but it still very much
applies to us today.
In the ancient traditions, forwhat we're going on which is
what this entire idea is, thatI'm basing things upon, making
it so it fits our modern world abit better is they had to go
through various differentinitiation rites.
(02:03):
Some of them had to do withjust growing up and whatnot, and
some of it had to do with moreof the spiritual, esoteric
nature.
This is the part that I focuson more in this podcast, of
course, and some of it has to dowith a combination of both,
where both had similaroverlapping meanings.
(02:24):
With a combination of both,where both had similar
overlapping meanings, and theseinitiation rites were very
important because they helpedexpand one's worldview, or it
made it so.
That way you were becoming likea member of the tribe in the
case of like, say, killing abear or a wolf or a lion,
(02:46):
depending on what part of theworld you're from and each
particular place that neededthat done in order to become
part of the tribe and whatnot.
And, of course, all of theseinitiation rites, regardless of
whether they were spiritual ornot, you needed to have the
physical body activated.
On top of that, the world was amuch more dangerous place in
(03:08):
certain regards, but also it wasmore physically demanding back
then, and it made it so that way.
You have to be able to haveyour body be at optimal health
in order to achieve your goals.
If you don't have your body atoptimal health, then you can't
(03:30):
make it so.
That way, you can do what needsto get done where things are
harder to get done.
Um, for you and in a lot ofthese initiation rites you could
literally die in the process,both for the spiritual ones, the
esoteric ones, and for, say themore of the coming of age ones,
for the men, uh, and andwhatnot, and it made it so that
(03:52):
way.
You absolutely had to be at peakperformance for things.
It was absolutely important todo so.
If you didn't do so, there wasa huge chance that you wouldn't
survive or that, if you did, youcould come out with it maimed
or even insane for certainaspects of this.
(04:12):
At one of the sites in Egypt,as an example, you had to make
it so that way.
You had to swim underwater andhold your breath, and if you go
up immediately in one of thechambers that shows up there
there's a bunch of crocodilesthat were put in the water, and
so you had to go and swim uppast these crocodiles in order
(04:35):
to make it so that way you coulddo that.
This was done to make it so.
That way you would overcomefear, which was a huge part that
needed to be overcome in orderto deal with what was considered
the spiritual plane ofexistence during that time
period the other world, and thendealing with various different
entities that you might comeacross there and whatnot.
(04:55):
And then, of course, on theother side of things with it,
you have the crocodilesthemselves that you have to deal
with.
Other side of things with it,you have the crocodiles
themselves that you have to dealwith.
And so if you weren't able todeal with that, as well as being
(05:20):
able to hold your breath longenough underwater and that kind
ofiles and come out.
You actually failed the testBecause there's actually another
area in that tunnel of waterthat you need to go to that was
much further away, that you hadto swim past or held your breath
for much longer in order to goout, to where there was no
crocodiles, which would actuallytake you to the next stage of
(05:42):
the initiation and the nextphase of it, which would
actually take you to the nextstage of the initiation and the
next phase of it.
And you might be thinking well,what in the world does this have
to do with the modern world,modern era and stuff?
Or why did they put themthrough such strenuous things
for, say, the spiritual side ofthings, the esoteric side of
things?
Maybe it makes sense, for youknow, okay, if you need to kill
(06:04):
a lion in order to make it so,that way you can become a man in
the tribe and you can, you know, make it so, that way you get a
house and be able to have awife and all these other things
that come from that Great.
That makes sense.
We understand why you need tobe physically strong there, same
thing with the bears and thewolves, but what on earth does
(06:25):
this have to do with the otherside of things.
Well, back in ancient times,when they were doing these
mystery school traditions, sayfor Isis, or for Mithra, or for
Freya and the Norse tradition,or you know whoever it was going
to be done for the variousdifferent ones inana and demuzi,
(06:46):
etc.
For sumeria, doesn't matterwhere you go they had all these
things that were being done withit, and a huge part of this was
where somebody was taken into achamber at the very end of
things and whatnot, which I willnot be going into the specifics
of it here in this episode,because that's going to be an
(07:08):
entire season of stuff later onand whatnot multiple episodes
minimum, if it's not a wholeseason about that entire thing.
Anyway, there's this process.
If not done properly in termsof the preparation for the mind
and for the body and for otherthings that need to be done with
it, would make it so that way,the initiate would literally uh
(07:33):
could literally die, excuse me,or uh could go insane from what
was seen on the other side ifthey weren't prepared for it.
And this was something thatthey were trying to prevent from
happening.
And some of this has to do withlike out-of-body experience and
shamanic experience stuff Otherparts of this had to do with.
(07:56):
Sometimes there was not in allcases, just to be clear on this
there was some sort of drug thatwas used that would make it
easier for someone to get into astate of being that would make
it so they would be having anexperience of the outer body and
the other world.
This could be narcotics, thiscould be mushrooms, this could
(08:20):
be many different things thatwere used with it.
This could even be shafts ofwheat that have ergot on them
and whatnot, and so eachtradition had their own various
thing that they did here, but itwas extremely violent on the
body and it was extremelydifficult to go do things with
(08:43):
it, and so this is the spiritualside of things, too, that made
it so that way.
That was the case that you hadto have this happen and whatnot.
So this is a huge part of whyyou know they needed that.
Again, obviously, the otherside of things, for you know,
(09:03):
killing lions, bears and wolvesmuch more straightforward for
why you need the physicalstrength, of course.
Now, what does this have to dowith modern?
Things are physically easier.
We have machines that do a lotof the work for us, of course,
but that doesn't mean that wecan just do whatever we want and
(09:24):
be lazy and not take care ofourselves.
There are huge consequences fordoing so, and so proper diet
and exercise is needed.
We've all heard the saying inthe Western world, or at least
the vast majority of us have youknow, your body is your temple.
Well, it's where yourconsciousness resides, it's
where your mind resides, youremotions reside and your spirit,
(09:47):
should you choose to believe insuch a thing, and because of
that, it needs to be taken careof and put in its proper place
and whatnot.
And it's the vessel for whichwe do everything in this life.
If you are unhealthy, it makesit so.
That way, you can't thing inthis life.
If you are unhealthy, it makesit so.
That way you can't go and dothe things that you want to do.
(10:08):
It makes life much, much moredifficult, and in order to make
that happen, you have to be ableto be healthy, of course, which
means proper diet and properexercise.
This is not the only thing thatit is for, it's also for
self-defense purposes.
If you think the world is anyless dangerous now than it was
in ancient time periods, I wouldsuggest looking at all the war
(10:32):
that's happening and all theinsurrections and other things
that are going on around theworld, and see if it doesn't
seem like it's going to come toyou at some point, or even if it
doesn't but great, better thatit doesn't happen that way.
But it's best to be prepared,because you never know what's
going to happen.
So you have all that that needsto be taken into consideration
(10:53):
for what's going on too.
Now I'm not going to get into100% the specifics of what needs
to be done here in terms ofhaving a proper diet and
exercise, of course.
One, I'm not a nutritionist.
Two, everybody has to be ableto make it so, that way they go
and get medical advice fromtheir doctors and from other
(11:16):
things with it.
And two, more importantly, doresearch for yourself too, and
be your own advocate on thisparticular point for what's
going on.
Hence why the Trivvia Methodwas taught to you earlier in
this and making it so.
That way you can figure out howto do these things on your own,
should you be inclined to do so, and whatnot.
And with that in mind, I canmove on to the next stage of
(11:40):
things, which is to make it so.
That way I can tell you moreabout the basics.
Regardless.
Many diets around the world areproposed.
How do I sift through thingsthat are going to work for me?
I don't understand what thebest thing to do is.
(12:03):
Can't someone just tell me andmake it simple?
These are all things that mightbe going through your mind and
whatnot.
The answer is it's actuallypretty simple.
For the most part, it's moreabout cutting out a bunch of
junk that we do than it ismaking it so that way.
You need to change a lot interms of what you add to your
(12:24):
diet, although in certain cases,with certain people and whatnot
, their diets were so farremoved that they need to do
both.
I'm an example of that.
I had a very poor diet andwhatnot.
I am still working on my diet,but it's hugely improved over
time period and whatnot, and I'mvery happy with my progress.
(12:44):
Now, what it all basically boilsdown to is and making it so
that you don't eat processedfoods.
Okay, once you start removingall the processed foods and
whatnot, you can keep minimallyprocessed foods, but once you
remove most of the processedfoods from your diet, you're
(13:05):
going to start feeling better.
For people who haven't donethis, it took a while.
But for me, I don't know aboutfour or five weeks in.
I don't know about four or fiveweeks in after I changed my
diet over and I was eatingmainly fruits and vegetables,
legumes, nuts and seeds, thingsof this nature, for what's going
(13:28):
on with it and I cut out allmeat except for chicken and fish
and whatnot, things like that,and just was eating much
healthier in general.
It made it so that way, for thefirst time in my life, I
(13:52):
realized how much my body wasinflamed because of my diet and
I didn't notice it because itwas in a constant state of
inflammation.
So when I finally had, you know, my first cupcake that I hadn't
had in a long time and whatnotthat had all this extra sugar
and all this extra stuff thatwas done inside of it and all
(14:17):
this processed crap, I feltterrible when I ate it.
It still tasted good, but how Ifelt was terrible.
Most people have no idea howmuch their diet impacts that,
that's how much it's impactingyour body, and then, of course,
it's also going to impact yourmind, your mental decisions that
you make.
And because there's the bodymind link, connection is very
much proven in science and verymuch important and on a
(14:38):
biological level, and the bodyinfluences our mind and our mind
influences our body and thatkind of thing with it, and so
you really do need to take careof it.
And I didn't realize how much Ihad been neglecting my body on
this particular front andthought that because of my age,
it didn't really matter as much.
But this is, simply put, nottrue.
It really did, in fact, harm mea lot more than I had ever
(15:02):
thought possible by not doingthat.
And as I began to eat now andI've been on this new diet for
almost a year it'll be a yearand about nine days here I've
lost approximately 30 pounds,fluctuates a little bit back and
forth, a couple pounds in thedirection, but that's normal and
(15:24):
whatnot, and I'm at a healthyweight again and I'm very happy
with myself and where thingshave gone with it.
And I went from, you know,198.6 pounds and my BMI and
other things that we're usingfor this thing were too high and
I was, you know, fat andwhatnot.
That's just the way it is tomaking it.
(15:45):
So that way, now I'm at ahealthy weight, using multiple
metrics and that kind of stuff,not just the BMI, and I'm
sitting at about 168 pounds andI'm still planning on losing
weight and gaining more musclemass in order to be able to just
be better at everything thatneeds to be done with it, and
it's been, you know, a journeyfor me, but it's been important,
(16:06):
and it's important that otherpeople take care of themselves
and their diet too, on thisparticular front.
So, if you want to make it so,that way you know you're eating
healthier and whatnot look atlike regional diets that have
been going on with it, right?
People talk about theMediterranean diet all the time,
or the Okinawan diet, as anexample, and some people even
talk about the Nordic diet.
(16:28):
They all eat things all threeof them that are whole foods.
They're foods that arenon-processed or minimally
processed and make it so thatway people eat them in
well-balanced ways, to make itso you're closer to nature with
it.
If we were to take this to aneven higher level than what I'm
(16:51):
talking about here, which isjust, you know, eliminating all
processed food from your dietand eating only naturally, of
course you're going to need aplan for that.
You can come up with meal plans, you can try it out and all
that other stuff with it.
You have to really care enoughto do so and really want to do
so.
So that's my points on.
(17:12):
This is the easiest thing to getinto is to take a diet that's
native to your region or nativeto your genetics and that kind
of stuff and make it so.
That way it's the easiest foryou to do and whatnot on and his
(17:38):
work.
You don't have to stick to it100 in terms of I'm only eating
from the okinawan diet or I'monly eating from whatever diet
and that kind of thing with it.
There's an added bonus toeating natural foods and whatnot
and whole foods is that itmakes it so.
That way you end up getting alot of uh, better stuff for the
environment, too.
It has way less of an impacteating this way and eating
(18:00):
properly.
So you're helping out with thatside of things too and whatnot
in terms of human resourcesneeding to be done and whatnot
and labor needing to be donethat cost the environment more
than it needs to be cost for.
But other things that are veryimportant for this that most
people don't do, which is notjust about diet and the sense of
(18:24):
strict diet and whatnot, isalso sleep.
People need to get ample sleep.
It has a huge impact with it.
You go to bed at the same timeof day.
You get up at the same time ofday.
It makes it so much easier foryour body to adjust for what's
going on with it.
Make sure you're drinkingplenty of water and other fluids
that are healthy for you, liketeas and that kind of stuff, for
(18:45):
what's going on.
Remove alcohol and coffee andall that.
This stuff is all that we allknow and that kind of thing we
all know and that kind of thing.
But it's stuff that you know wearen't doing.
So if we aren't doing it, do wereally know it or do we only
have an intellectualization ofit?
I'll let you decide that foryourself.
For me, I was onlyintellectualizing that I was
(19:07):
actually getting better for awhile.
Now I'm actually getting betterbecause I'm taking actual
action in the real world.
So there's that side of thingsfor it.
Next, I would also suggest thatexercise is absolutely paramount
.
That needs to be done.
I had stopped exercising forthe most part, especially during
(19:28):
COVID, partly because oflockdown nonsense, partly
because I became lazy and usedit as an excuse for things.
Mostly because I had put myattention too much on the mind
in terms of working out thingsthere rather than taking action
in the real world and figuringthings out that needed to be
(19:50):
done that way, and I haddeveloped an imbalance for one
side of focusing on myconsciousness and trying to
change certain parts of thatrather than just also focusing
on the physical.
They complement each other andone should not be neglected or
chosen over the other.
They need to go together.
I know that this is somethingthat a lot of people struggle
(20:12):
with because they don't like theterm.
I have to work out or toexercise.
It seems like it's a strugglefor certain people and whatnot,
yeah, and while this is true,you can also do things that make
it simpler for you to do.
Example you can get a job thathas to do with exercise.
You can go work at a warehouseor something along those lines
(20:33):
with it, so you're working outevery day that you work there
with it, and now your job isbasically lifting things and
whatnot.
Should your body be able tohandle it, it just could be good
for you.
And then you and then, ofcourse, you know you could do
something that's fun for you todo, that's exciting, and whatnot
, like dancing as an example forwhat's going on.
(20:54):
Then go and dance and make thatyour exercise, that you do.
If you enjoy martial arts orsports or whatever the deal is,
join a club or a team or makingit so that way you know you join
a martial arts studio andwhatnot.
Do you like doing yoga?
Great, go and do that and don'tsay that you don't have time
(21:15):
for this stuff with it, becauseyou do have time for it.
This is your insurance policy.
If you will, if you eat rightand you have exercised properly
and whatnot, you're going tomake it so.
You have way less chance to getsick.
You have way less chance to getdiseases.
You have way less chancesyou're going to need to end up
hospitalized.
Things still happen.
Not everything's in our control.
By doing this, by thinking,okay, how can I make this fun
(21:38):
for myself?
How can I make it so that way?
I do certain things with itthat are that way.
Well, you make it easier.
You don't even need trainers orwhatever to come up with meal
plans or with any of thesethings, at least to get started
and whatnot.
While you're still working onfiguring out what you want to do
with these type of things, whatyou need to do is you can just
(22:01):
use, know, use ai to help you docertain things with it.
Again, maybe you want to checkwith some professionals in order
to make it so you're not goingto do anything that's actually
going to harm you and that kindof thing, and you definitely
again want to do your ownresearch and be your own
advocate.
This is a bare minimum that youhave to do, but these are
things that need to be done foryou.
(22:22):
Health is such an importantthing and I've noticed that I
have more energy now because ofthat, which allows me to be able
to be more productive towardsmy overall goals and to think
clearer, and it's amazing howmuch just changing a few things
around and whatnot has made itso.
(22:43):
That way, everything becomesbetter for my life as a whole,
even though it may seem like thehard thing to do in the
beginning and whatnot.
It's a principle of the universe, of course, you know.
An object in motion tends tostay in motion.
An object at rest tends to stayat rest Right.
In motion tends to stay inmotion.
(23:05):
An object at rest tends to stayat rest right.
That's the idea behind things,with it put out by Sir Isaac
Newton for his laws ofthermodynamics, and it's the
same thing here.
If you stop doing somethingthat you know that you liked
doing or that you enjoyed doingor that's good for you and
whatnot, it makes it harder toget that initial impetus, which
is where willpower comes in, andtruly caring about yourself and
(23:29):
other things that you need todo in order to have that happen
and discipline.
But once you start doing it andonce you form a habit around it
again, it's much easier tocontinue just doing it rather
than to make it fall off andhave to worry about where it
comes from again.
Now this is also a self-help inthe sense of what you can do
(23:50):
with this for your goals andobjectives.
Again, if you're sick, you'renot going to be able to go after
your stuff with it.
You know COVID-19 was, andprobably still is, a thing
that's going on with it, muchlike the Spanish flu was 100
plus years ago, and just liveswith us now, and now it's just
(24:10):
become a regular flu strain.
For the most part are havingissues with COVID, regardless of
whether they got vaccinated ornot.
They more often than not hadwhat are called comorbidities,
(24:34):
meaning that they had some sortof underlying other health
condition, which created theissue for them to get infected
more easily to begin with, aswell as for the virus to spread
more easily as well.
This is undisputed, and so thisis something to think about,
too, in terms of preventingdiseases from popping up that
(24:58):
are already around us.
That caused a lot of havoc inthe world and whatnot, and you
don't want that to happen to youor your loved ones.
So we should be taking ourhealth seriously.
We should be looking at ourbodies as kind of the sacred
space and the sacred thing thatwe need to honor and not neglect
and not ignore, and we need totake care of ourselves properly
(25:21):
too.
You know we need to make it so.
That way we can accomplish whatwe want to accomplish.
Some things are harder to do asyou get older, of course, but
doesn't mean you can't makestrides to do so and whatnot.
It's better to make it so thatway you do everything that is in
(25:43):
your willpower and in yourstuff for it that you have
control over, and make it sothat way you do the best that
you can and have the best lifethat you can and the best
version of yourself, than tomake it so that way you just
allow things to happen purely bychance and whatnot.
These are food for thought onthis particular point and that
(26:05):
kind of thing.
I would really suggest you lookinto both.
I would really suggest thatthis is something that too few
of us, especially in the Westernworld, don't take seriously at
all and that you know we havepeople that are morbidly obese
(26:26):
and by various different metrics, or that just eat crappy diet
even if they are at a healthyweight, or that we just don't
even exercise at all asAmericans and that kind of stuff
.
And to be clear also, noteverything can be cured by this.
Not everybody is going to loseweight because they exercise
(26:48):
properly and they diet properlyand whatnot.
There are other underlyingreasons for why people are that
way.
They could have thyroid issues,they could have other things
with it that are going on.
But this is something that wecan do to make our lives better,
regardless of what's going on,and I am very pleased with my
(27:12):
personal results of changing mydiet and making it so that way.
I do things that are that waywith it.
Certain people might want to dothis.
Other people might be opposedto it, depending upon how they
feel about genetic testing, butyou can get genetic testing done
also and look at that to makeit so.
(27:33):
That way you can have thingsshow up for what a proper diet
is for you things that arehelpful and things that are not
helpful.
Some of these places even givemeal plans out that are 30 days
long that they do in order tohelp get things started for you.
Again, be your own advocate, doyour own research, make it so
(27:55):
that way you figure things outon your own.
Don't take what I'm saying oranybody else is saying at face
value.
Don't take what I'm saying oranybody else is saying at face
value.
Just because some expert saysit doesn't mean that it's true.
Just because it's written in abook or online somewhere doesn't
(28:20):
mean that it's true.
So these are things that weneed to also focus on If you
really want to take the dietthing to the furthest uh stuff
with it and whatnot.
Another suggestion is and thisis something I have not done yet
myself personally, but intendto do so once I've solidified my
diet even further and I'vegotten even better at it and
learn how to cook better,because that's what I'm doing.
I'm cooking on my own too,which makes it so that way, by
(28:41):
learning that skill, I eat outway less and I have way more
control over my environment,which means I'm eating way
healthier in general.
Anyway, is to do seasonal diet.
So take the whole foods idea,but eat them in season.
This will also help with theenvironmental side of things as
well.
Instead of having to transportthings from one side of the
(29:03):
world to the other much morereadily and whatnot, you can
just grab whatever is locallyavailable.
If you want to know what's inseason in your area, you can
look it up online or, better yet, go to some sort of farmer's
market or something like that.
That or have things that areactually growing by real farmers
.
Have things that are actuallygrowing by real farmers.
(29:25):
Always get organic.
Always choose that whenever youcan.
It's better for the environment, again, because of the
pesticides and all the otherthings that go into that with it
.
Just any change in diet isbetter at all.
And make sure that you take thisas baby steps for what's going
on, both for the exercising andfor the change of diet, because
(29:46):
I know this can be hard forcertain people.
So let's say you know you haveto, where you start doing
push-ups and you want to measurepush-ups as an example.
Well, you can only do five atfirst.
Let's say, all right, you canonly do five.
Three weeks later you can do 10.
Congratulations, you'veimproved.
Maybe you're not improving tothe level you'd like to be, but
(30:09):
you've improved.
Focus on the improvement, notwhere you want to go with it,
and just continuously move,slowly but surely, towards your
ultimate goals.
Find something to summarize.
Find something that you enjoyfor exercise.
Find something that's good foryou, that you can do.
Make it so that way, on thedietary front, for things, that
(30:33):
you choose whole foods and that,ideally, you choose something
that's growing in your regionand in season and whatnot,
because it helps you out.
And it's what our ancestorshave done for ever, literally
millions of years and whatnot,going back to hominids and, at
least, as our modern forms,300,000 years on this planet.
(30:55):
Certain things have changed, interms of the crops and foods,
of course.
So some people argue oh, it'sonly been thousands of years.
Fine, it's been thousands ofyears that we've been doing it
this way, but we've always eatenin season for whatever was
available, regardless of what itwas.
This makes it so.
That way it's better for us too.
Anyway, thank you all.
(31:16):
So much for your time.
I know this episode's been alittle different than some of
the other episodes that we'vegone into and whatnot, but it's
still directly related to thingsand it's very important to make
it that we stay on this andthat we make this a priority.
This time period has shown thatwe need to do that especially
(31:37):
and shown how vulnerable we canall are and can be to things
with it, and it's better for usto make it so.
That way we take life into ourown hands rather than just
allowing things to happenwilly-nilly.

Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Hello and welcome back to the Forbidden Knowledge
Podcast.
My name is Nathaniel Kuitmacherand I am the host.
In last week's show, we weretalking about living in the
present moment, but in this weekwe're going to be moving on to
the next step, which has to dowith activating the physical
body.
This was an extremely importantstep to the ancients and this
(01:42):
has to do with a multitude ofreasons, but it still very much
applies to us today.
In the ancient traditions, forwhat we're going on which is
what this entire idea is, thatI'm basing things upon, making
it so it fits our modern world abit better is they had to go
through various differentinitiation rites.
(02:03):
Some of them had to do withjust growing up and whatnot, and
some of it had to do with moreof the spiritual, esoteric
nature.
This is the part that I focuson more in this podcast, of
course, and some of it has to dowith a combination of both,
where both had similaroverlapping meanings.
(02:24):
With a combination of both,where both had similar
overlapping meanings, and theseinitiation rites were very
important because they helpedexpand one's worldview, or it
made it so.
That way you were becoming likea member of the tribe in the
case of like, say, killing abear or a wolf or a lion,
(02:46):
depending on what part of theworld you're from and each
particular place that neededthat done in order to become
part of the tribe and whatnot.
And, of course, all of theseinitiation rites, regardless of
whether they were spiritual ornot, you needed to have the
physical body activated.
On top of that, the world was amuch more dangerous place in
(03:08):
certain regards, but also it wasmore physically demanding back
then, and it made it so that way.
You have to be able to haveyour body be at optimal health
in order to achieve your goals.
If you don't have your body atoptimal health, then you can't
(03:30):
make it so.
That way, you can do what needsto get done where things are
harder to get done.
Um, for you and in a lot ofthese initiation rites you could
literally die in the process,both for the spiritual ones, the
esoteric ones, and for, say themore of the coming of age ones,
for the men, uh, and andwhatnot, and it made it so that
(03:52):
way.
You absolutely had to be at peakperformance for things.
It was absolutely important todo so.
If you didn't do so, there wasa huge chance that you wouldn't
survive or that, if you did, youcould come out with it maimed
or even insane for certainaspects of this.
(04:12):
At one of the sites in Egypt,as an example, you had to make
it so that way.
You had to swim underwater andhold your breath, and if you go
up immediately in one of thechambers that shows up there
there's a bunch of crocodilesthat were put in the water, and
so you had to go and swim uppast these crocodiles in order
(04:35):
to make it so that way you coulddo that.
This was done to make it so.
That way you would overcomefear, which was a huge part that
needed to be overcome in orderto deal with what was considered
the spiritual plane ofexistence during that time
period the other world, and thendealing with various different
entities that you might comeacross there and whatnot.
(04:55):
And then, of course, on theother side of things with it,
you have the crocodilesthemselves that you have to deal
with.
Other side of things with it,you have the crocodiles
themselves that you have to dealwith.
And so if you weren't able todeal with that, as well as being
(05:20):
able to hold your breath longenough underwater and that kind
ofiles and come out.
You actually failed the testBecause there's actually another
area in that tunnel of waterthat you need to go to that was
much further away, that you hadto swim past or held your breath
for much longer in order to goout, to where there was no
crocodiles, which would actuallytake you to the next stage of
(05:42):
the initiation and the nextphase of it, which would
actually take you to the nextstage of the initiation and the
next phase of it.
And you might be thinking well,what in the world does this have
to do with the modern world,modern era and stuff?
Or why did they put themthrough such strenuous things
for, say, the spiritual side ofthings, the esoteric side of
things?
Maybe it makes sense, for youknow, okay, if you need to kill
(06:04):
a lion in order to make it so,that way you can become a man in
the tribe and you can, you know, make it so, that way you get a
house and be able to have awife and all these other things
that come from that Great.
That makes sense.
We understand why you need tobe physically strong there, same
thing with the bears and thewolves, but what on earth does
(06:25):
this have to do with the otherside of things.
Well, back in ancient times,when they were doing these
mystery school traditions, sayfor Isis, or for Mithra, or for
Freya and the Norse tradition,or you know whoever it was going
to be done for the variousdifferent ones inana and demuzi,
(06:46):
etc.
For sumeria, doesn't matterwhere you go they had all these
things that were being done withit, and a huge part of this was
where somebody was taken into achamber at the very end of
things and whatnot, which I willnot be going into the specifics
of it here in this episode,because that's going to be an
(07:08):
entire season of stuff later onand whatnot multiple episodes
minimum, if it's not a wholeseason about that entire thing.
Anyway, there's this process.
If not done properly in termsof the preparation for the mind
and for the body and for otherthings that need to be done with
it, would make it so that way,the initiate would literally uh
(07:33):
could literally die, excuse me,or uh could go insane from what
was seen on the other side ifthey weren't prepared for it.
And this was something thatthey were trying to prevent from
happening.
And some of this has to do withlike out-of-body experience and
shamanic experience stuff Otherparts of this had to do with.
(07:56):
Sometimes there was not in allcases, just to be clear on this
there was some sort of drug thatwas used that would make it
easier for someone to get into astate of being that would make
it so they would be having anexperience of the outer body and
the other world.
This could be narcotics, thiscould be mushrooms, this could
(08:20):
be many different things thatwere used with it.
This could even be shafts ofwheat that have ergot on them
and whatnot, and so eachtradition had their own various
thing that they did here, but itwas extremely violent on the
body and it was extremelydifficult to go do things with
(08:43):
it, and so this is the spiritualside of things, too, that made
it so that way.
That was the case that you hadto have this happen and whatnot.
So this is a huge part of whyyou know they needed that.
Again, obviously, the otherside of things, for you know,
(09:03):
killing lions, bears and wolvesmuch more straightforward for
why you need the physicalstrength, of course.
Now, what does this have to dowith modern?
Things are physically easier.
We have machines that do a lotof the work for us, of course,
but that doesn't mean that wecan just do whatever we want and
(09:24):
be lazy and not take care ofourselves.
There are huge consequences fordoing so, and so proper diet
and exercise is needed.
We've all heard the saying inthe Western world, or at least
the vast majority of us have youknow, your body is your temple.
Well, it's where yourconsciousness resides, it's
where your mind resides, youremotions reside and your spirit,
(09:47):
should you choose to believe insuch a thing, and because of
that, it needs to be taken careof and put in its proper place
and whatnot.
And it's the vessel for whichwe do everything in this life.
If you are unhealthy, it makesit so.
That way, you can't thing inthis life.
If you are unhealthy, it makesit so.
That way you can't go and dothe things that you want to do.
(10:08):
It makes life much, much moredifficult, and in order to make
that happen, you have to be ableto be healthy, of course, which
means proper diet and properexercise.
This is not the only thing thatit is for, it's also for
self-defense purposes.
If you think the world is anyless dangerous now than it was
in ancient time periods, I wouldsuggest looking at all the war
(10:32):
that's happening and all theinsurrections and other things
that are going on around theworld, and see if it doesn't
seem like it's going to come toyou at some point, or even if it
doesn't but great, better thatit doesn't happen that way.
But it's best to be prepared,because you never know what's
going to happen.
So you have all that that needsto be taken into consideration
(10:53):
for what's going on too.
Now I'm not going to get into100% the specifics of what needs
to be done here in terms ofhaving a proper diet and
exercise, of course.
One, I'm not a nutritionist.
Two, everybody has to be ableto make it so, that way they go
and get medical advice fromtheir doctors and from other
(11:16):
things with it.
And two, more importantly, doresearch for yourself too, and
be your own advocate on thisparticular point for what's
going on.
Hence why the Trivvia Methodwas taught to you earlier in
this and making it so.
That way you can figure out howto do these things on your own,
should you be inclined to do so, and whatnot.
And with that in mind, I canmove on to the next stage of
(11:40):
things, which is to make it so.
That way I can tell you moreabout the basics.
Regardless.
Many diets around the world areproposed.
How do I sift through thingsthat are going to work for me?
I don't understand what thebest thing to do is.
(12:03):
Can't someone just tell me andmake it simple?
These are all things that mightbe going through your mind and
whatnot.
The answer is it's actuallypretty simple.
For the most part, it's moreabout cutting out a bunch of
junk that we do than it ismaking it so that way.
You need to change a lot interms of what you add to your
(12:24):
diet, although in certain cases,with certain people and whatnot
, their diets were so farremoved that they need to do
both.
I'm an example of that.
I had a very poor diet andwhatnot.
I am still working on my diet,but it's hugely improved over
time period and whatnot, and I'mvery happy with my progress.
(12:44):
Now, what it all basically boilsdown to is and making it so
that you don't eat processedfoods.
Okay, once you start removingall the processed foods and
whatnot, you can keep minimallyprocessed foods, but once you
remove most of the processedfoods from your diet, you're
(13:05):
going to start feeling better.
For people who haven't donethis, it took a while.
But for me, I don't know aboutfour or five weeks in.
I don't know about four or fiveweeks in after I changed my
diet over and I was eatingmainly fruits and vegetables,
legumes, nuts and seeds, thingsof this nature, for what's going
(13:28):
on with it and I cut out allmeat except for chicken and fish
and whatnot, things like that,and just was eating much
healthier in general.
It made it so that way, for thefirst time in my life, I
(13:52):
realized how much my body wasinflamed because of my diet and
I didn't notice it because itwas in a constant state of
inflammation.
So when I finally had, you know, my first cupcake that I hadn't
had in a long time and whatnotthat had all this extra sugar
and all this extra stuff thatwas done inside of it and all
(14:17):
this processed crap, I feltterrible when I ate it.
It still tasted good, but how Ifelt was terrible.
Most people have no idea howmuch their diet impacts that,
that's how much it's impactingyour body, and then, of course,
it's also going to impact yourmind, your mental decisions that
you make.
And because there's the bodymind link, connection is very
much proven in science and verymuch important and on a
(14:38):
biological level, and the bodyinfluences our mind and our mind
influences our body and thatkind of thing with it, and so
you really do need to take careof it.
And I didn't realize how much Ihad been neglecting my body on
this particular front andthought that because of my age,
it didn't really matter as much.
But this is, simply put, nottrue.
It really did, in fact, harm mea lot more than I had ever
(15:02):
thought possible by not doingthat.
And as I began to eat now andI've been on this new diet for
almost a year it'll be a yearand about nine days here I've
lost approximately 30 pounds,fluctuates a little bit back and
forth, a couple pounds in thedirection, but that's normal and
(15:24):
whatnot, and I'm at a healthyweight again and I'm very happy
with myself and where thingshave gone with it.
And I went from, you know,198.6 pounds and my BMI and
other things that we're usingfor this thing were too high and
I was, you know, fat andwhatnot.
That's just the way it is tomaking it.
(15:45):
So that way, now I'm at ahealthy weight, using multiple
metrics and that kind of stuff,not just the BMI, and I'm
sitting at about 168 pounds andI'm still planning on losing
weight and gaining more musclemass in order to be able to just
be better at everything thatneeds to be done with it, and
it's been, you know, a journeyfor me, but it's been important,
(16:06):
and it's important that otherpeople take care of themselves
and their diet too, on thisparticular front.
So, if you want to make it so,that way you know you're eating
healthier and whatnot look atlike regional diets that have
been going on with it, right?
People talk about theMediterranean diet all the time,
or the Okinawan diet, as anexample, and some people even
talk about the Nordic diet.
(16:28):
They all eat things all threeof them that are whole foods.
They're foods that arenon-processed or minimally
processed and make it so thatway people eat them in
well-balanced ways, to make itso you're closer to nature with
it.
If we were to take this to aneven higher level than what I'm
(16:51):
talking about here, which isjust, you know, eliminating all
processed food from your dietand eating only naturally, of
course you're going to need aplan for that.
You can come up with meal plans, you can try it out and all
that other stuff with it.
You have to really care enoughto do so and really want to do
so.
So that's my points on.
(17:12):
This is the easiest thing to getinto is to take a diet that's
native to your region or nativeto your genetics and that kind
of stuff and make it so.
That way it's the easiest foryou to do and whatnot on and his
(17:38):
work.
You don't have to stick to it100 in terms of I'm only eating
from the okinawan diet or I'monly eating from whatever diet
and that kind of thing with it.
There's an added bonus toeating natural foods and whatnot
and whole foods is that itmakes it so.
That way you end up getting alot of uh, better stuff for the
environment, too.
It has way less of an impacteating this way and eating
(18:00):
properly.
So you're helping out with thatside of things too and whatnot
in terms of human resourcesneeding to be done and whatnot
and labor needing to be donethat cost the environment more
than it needs to be cost for.
But other things that are veryimportant for this that most
people don't do, which is notjust about diet and the sense of
(18:24):
strict diet and whatnot, isalso sleep.
People need to get ample sleep.
It has a huge impact with it.
You go to bed at the same timeof day.
You get up at the same time ofday.
It makes it so much easier foryour body to adjust for what's
going on with it.
Make sure you're drinkingplenty of water and other fluids
that are healthy for you, liketeas and that kind of stuff, for
(18:45):
what's going on.
Remove alcohol and coffee andall that.
This stuff is all that we allknow and that kind of thing we
all know and that kind of thing.
But it's stuff that you know wearen't doing.
So if we aren't doing it, do wereally know it or do we only
have an intellectualization ofit?
I'll let you decide that foryourself.
For me, I was onlyintellectualizing that I was
(19:07):
actually getting better for awhile.
Now I'm actually getting betterbecause I'm taking actual
action in the real world.
So there's that side of thingsfor it.
Next, I would also suggest thatexercise is absolutely paramount
.
That needs to be done.
I had stopped exercising forthe most part, especially during
(19:28):
COVID, partly because oflockdown nonsense, partly
because I became lazy and usedit as an excuse for things.
Mostly because I had put myattention too much on the mind
in terms of working out thingsthere rather than taking action
in the real world and figuringthings out that needed to be
(19:50):
done that way, and I haddeveloped an imbalance for one
side of focusing on myconsciousness and trying to
change certain parts of thatrather than just also focusing
on the physical.
They complement each other andone should not be neglected or
chosen over the other.
They need to go together.
I know that this is somethingthat a lot of people struggle
(20:12):
with because they don't like theterm.
I have to work out or toexercise.
It seems like it's a strugglefor certain people and whatnot,
yeah, and while this is true,you can also do things that make
it simpler for you to do.
Example you can get a job thathas to do with exercise.
You can go work at a warehouseor something along those lines
(20:33):
with it, so you're working outevery day that you work there
with it, and now your job isbasically lifting things and
whatnot.
Should your body be able tohandle it, it just could be good
for you.
And then you and then, ofcourse, you know you could do
something that's fun for you todo, that's exciting, and whatnot
, like dancing as an example forwhat's going on.
(20:54):
Then go and dance and make thatyour exercise, that you do.
If you enjoy martial arts orsports or whatever the deal is,
join a club or a team or makingit so that way you know you join
a martial arts studio andwhatnot.
Do you like doing yoga?
Great, go and do that and don'tsay that you don't have time
(21:15):
for this stuff with it, becauseyou do have time for it.
This is your insurance policy.
If you will, if you eat rightand you have exercised properly
and whatnot, you're going tomake it so.
You have way less chance to getsick.
You have way less chance to getdiseases.
You have way less chancesyou're going to need to end up
hospitalized.
Things still happen.
Not everything's in our control.
By doing this, by thinking,okay, how can I make this fun
(21:38):
for myself?
How can I make it so that way?
I do certain things with itthat are that way.
Well, you make it easier.
You don't even need trainers orwhatever to come up with meal
plans or with any of thesethings, at least to get started
and whatnot.
While you're still working onfiguring out what you want to do
with these type of things, whatyou need to do is you can just
(22:01):
use, know, use ai to help you docertain things with it.
Again, maybe you want to checkwith some professionals in order
to make it so you're not goingto do anything that's actually
going to harm you and that kindof thing, and you definitely
again want to do your ownresearch and be your own
advocate.
This is a bare minimum that youhave to do, but these are
things that need to be done foryou.
(22:22):
Health is such an importantthing and I've noticed that I
have more energy now because ofthat, which allows me to be able
to be more productive towardsmy overall goals and to think
clearer, and it's amazing howmuch just changing a few things
around and whatnot has made itso.
(22:43):
That way, everything becomesbetter for my life as a whole,
even though it may seem like thehard thing to do in the
beginning and whatnot.
It's a principle of the universe, of course, you know.
An object in motion tends tostay in motion.
An object at rest tends to stayat rest Right.
In motion tends to stay inmotion.
(23:05):
An object at rest tends to stayat rest right.
That's the idea behind things,with it put out by Sir Isaac
Newton for his laws ofthermodynamics, and it's the
same thing here.
If you stop doing somethingthat you know that you liked
doing or that you enjoyed doingor that's good for you and
whatnot, it makes it harder toget that initial impetus, which
is where willpower comes in, andtruly caring about yourself and
(23:29):
other things that you need todo in order to have that happen
and discipline.
But once you start doing it andonce you form a habit around it
again, it's much easier tocontinue just doing it rather
than to make it fall off andhave to worry about where it
comes from again.
Now this is also a self-help inthe sense of what you can do
(23:50):
with this for your goals andobjectives.
Again, if you're sick, you'renot going to be able to go after
your stuff with it.
You know COVID-19 was, andprobably still is, a thing
that's going on with it, muchlike the Spanish flu was 100
plus years ago, and just liveswith us now, and now it's just
(24:10):
become a regular flu strain.
For the most part are havingissues with COVID, regardless of
whether they got vaccinated ornot.
They more often than not hadwhat are called comorbidities,
(24:34):
meaning that they had some sortof underlying other health
condition, which created theissue for them to get infected
more easily to begin with, aswell as for the virus to spread
more easily as well.
This is undisputed, and so thisis something to think about,
too, in terms of preventingdiseases from popping up that
(24:58):
are already around us.
That caused a lot of havoc inthe world and whatnot, and you
don't want that to happen to youor your loved ones.
So we should be taking ourhealth seriously.
We should be looking at ourbodies as kind of the sacred
space and the sacred thing thatwe need to honor and not neglect
and not ignore, and we need totake care of ourselves properly
(25:21):
too.
You know we need to make it so.
That way we can accomplish whatwe want to accomplish.
Some things are harder to do asyou get older, of course, but
doesn't mean you can't makestrides to do so and whatnot.
It's better to make it so thatway you do everything that is in
(25:43):
your willpower and in yourstuff for it that you have
control over, and make it sothat way you do the best that
you can and have the best lifethat you can and the best
version of yourself, than tomake it so that way you just
allow things to happen purely bychance and whatnot.
These are food for thought onthis particular point and that
(26:05):
kind of thing.
I would really suggest you lookinto both.
I would really suggest thatthis is something that too few
of us, especially in the Westernworld, don't take seriously at
all and that you know we havepeople that are morbidly obese
(26:26):
and by various different metrics, or that just eat crappy diet
even if they are at a healthyweight, or that we just don't
even exercise at all asAmericans and that kind of stuff
.
And to be clear also, noteverything can be cured by this.
Not everybody is going to loseweight because they exercise
(26:48):
properly and they diet properlyand whatnot.
There are other underlyingreasons for why people are that
way.
They could have thyroid issues,they could have other things
with it that are going on.
But this is something that wecan do to make our lives better,
regardless of what's going on,and I am very pleased with my
(27:12):
personal results of changing mydiet and making it so that way.
I do things that are that waywith it.
Certain people might want to dothis.
Other people might be opposedto it, depending upon how they
feel about genetic testing, butyou can get genetic testing done
also and look at that to makeit so.
(27:33):
That way you can have thingsshow up for what a proper diet
is for you things that arehelpful and things that are not
helpful.
Some of these places even givemeal plans out that are 30 days
long that they do in order tohelp get things started for you.
Again, be your own advocate, doyour own research, make it so
(27:55):
that way you figure things outon your own.
Don't take what I'm saying oranybody else is saying at face
value.
Don't take what I'm saying oranybody else is saying at face
value.
Just because some expert saysit doesn't mean that it's true.
Just because it's written in abook or online somewhere doesn't
(28:20):
mean that it's true.
So these are things that weneed to also focus on If you
really want to take the dietthing to the furthest uh stuff
with it and whatnot.
Another suggestion is and thisis something I have not done yet
myself personally, but intendto do so once I've solidified my
diet even further and I'vegotten even better at it and
learn how to cook better,because that's what I'm doing.
I'm cooking on my own too,which makes it so that way, by
(28:41):
learning that skill, I eat outway less and I have way more
control over my environment,which means I'm eating way
healthier in general.
Anyway, is to do seasonal diet.
So take the whole foods idea,but eat them in season.
This will also help with theenvironmental side of things as
well.
Instead of having to transportthings from one side of the
(29:03):
world to the other much morereadily and whatnot, you can
just grab whatever is locallyavailable.
If you want to know what's inseason in your area, you can
look it up online or, better yet, go to some sort of farmer's
market or something like that.
That or have things that areactually growing by real farmers
.
Have things that are actuallygrowing by real farmers.
(29:25):
Always get organic.
Always choose that whenever youcan.
It's better for the environment, again, because of the
pesticides and all the otherthings that go into that with it
.
Just any change in diet isbetter at all.
And make sure that you take thisas baby steps for what's going
on, both for the exercising andfor the change of diet, because
(29:46):
I know this can be hard forcertain people.
So let's say you know you haveto, where you start doing
push-ups and you want to measurepush-ups as an example.
Well, you can only do five atfirst.
Let's say, all right, you canonly do five.
Three weeks later you can do 10.
Congratulations, you'veimproved.
Maybe you're not improving tothe level you'd like to be, but
(30:09):
you've improved.
Focus on the improvement, notwhere you want to go with it,
and just continuously move,slowly but surely, towards your
ultimate goals.
Find something to summarize.
Find something that you enjoyfor exercise.
Find something that's good foryou, that you can do.
Make it so that way, on thedietary front, for things, that
(30:33):
you choose whole foods and that,ideally, you choose something
that's growing in your regionand in season and whatnot,
because it helps you out.
And it's what our ancestorshave done for ever, literally
millions of years and whatnot,going back to hominids and, at
least, as our modern forms,300,000 years on this planet.
(30:55):
Certain things have changed, interms of the crops and foods,
of course.
So some people argue oh, it'sonly been thousands of years.
Fine, it's been thousands ofyears that we've been doing it
this way, but we've always eatenin season for whatever was
available, regardless of what itwas.
This makes it so.
That way it's better for us too.
Anyway, thank you all.
(31:16):
So much for your time.
I know this episode's been alittle different than some of
the other episodes that we'vegone into and whatnot, but it's
still directly related to thingsand it's very important to make
it that we stay on this andthat we make this a priority.
This time period has shown thatwe need to do that especially
(31:37):
and shown how vulnerable we canall are and can be to things
with it, and it's better for usto make it so.
That way we take life into ourown hands rather than just
allowing things to happenwilly-nilly.
