(00:00):
The thirteenth Amendment to the United StatesConstitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as
a punishment for a crime. Everwondered how we ended up with the largest
prison population of any country. Haveyou noticed that those whose jobs it is
to protect and serve seem to bedemanding more and more blind obedience. You
didn't think it just happened by chance, did you. It's time to call
(00:23):
attention to the fact our government asthe most prolific slave owner on the planet.
This is surviving the system. Thankyou for joining me today on surviving
the system. This is dance andDave and you know today man, I
really just want to talk about Iwant to talk more about the community.
(00:43):
If you've listened to me for anytime, you know that one of the
big things that I talk to peopleabout is surrounding yourself with a community of
people that will support you, notnot people that are like you. Know
how people will say, oh,I want a group of like minded pep.
I don't people that think like me. I want people that think differently
(01:03):
from me. I want the peoplethat are going to compliment me and challenge
me and push me and continue togrow. I want to be surrounded by
the people that know the things thatI don't know and think about things that
I don't think about, so Ican stretch myself. Now, the flip
side of that of your community isbeing ostracized and anybody that has, anybody
(01:29):
that has had any kind of arun in with the system. I don't
care if it's the legal system,the prison system, the justice quote unquote
system, all the way down tothe financial system, the insurance system,
the medical system. When you buttup against those times when you feel like
nobody is listening to you and you'regoing out of your mind because you're like,
(01:51):
how is this even possibly happening,the community starts to ostracize you,
and my personal opinion, let's bevery clear. I will preface this.
I will be extraordinarily clear as bestto my ability as I possibly can.
This is my opinion. It isdone on purpose. It is absolutely done
(02:15):
on purpose. So I really wantto try to tackle this from two fronts.
We're going to tackle it at thehigh level, because, make no
doubt about it, we have enemiesthat are out there and they want us
fighting with each other. The morethat we're fighting amongst each other and the
more that we're ostracizing one another andpointing fingers and rioting and protesting about why
(02:38):
somebody else is being so super meanto me. They're getting away with whatever
the hell they want to do becausewe're looking the other direction. I mean,
it's basic warfare tactics. And thesecond part of that, I really
(02:58):
want to get into and discuss alittle bit of the psychology of ostracizing and
being ostracized from both sides. Itmight get a little bit deep. And
when I say deep, I meanwe might start to get into the realm
(03:19):
of esoteric. And you know what, that's okay, because everything goes that
way anyway. If you keep followingthe threads deep enough, eventually everything ends
up on a spiritual level, anesoteric level, and we're just going to
follow it and we're going to gothere. So heads up. Hopefully this
will be a little bit of adeeper show than we've gone into before,
(03:40):
but it's a deep topic. Beforewe get started, or do you want
to do just a couple of quickhousekeeping items. First of all, thank
you to everybody that has reached outto me lately. I have a string
of interviews that are going to becoming up hopefully within just the next few
weeks. I have had people readafter they listen to the interview about Dwayne
(04:03):
Williams and his situation. I knowthat there's a lot of people out there
with similar situations and it, butit just never ceases to amaze me when
they reach out to me and it'slike, oh my god, it's everywhere.
It's happening to people everywhere. Sothank you all for reaching out and
continue to do so. And ifyou have a story that needs to be
(04:26):
told, I'd love to hear itthis platform. When I say this,
I don't say this just as somethrowaway. This is your platform as much
as it is mine. This isyour place to come and get it off
your chest, talk about it.This is my therapy oftentimes because I come
here and I talk about the stuffthat's weighing on my head that I'm trying
(04:47):
to figure out on my own andjust being able to talk about it.
By the end of the show,it's like, all right, I think
I figured that out now I knowhow to handle it. And most people
that I bring on here in similarsituations, after they've gotten done at the
end of the show, they go, man, that was great. That
was a lot of fun. Ireally needed that. That was kind of
cathartic. Yeah, I know,so come on, talk about this stuff.
(05:11):
The more we talk about it,the less we're ostracizing ourselves. Ironically
enough, So reach out to methrough Facebook, dot com, slash Surviving
the System on Twitter at STS,thepodcast, and the website Survivingthsystem dot org.
I have a contact me section there. Just shoot me a message.
(05:34):
I'll end up in my email.I do try to respond within twenty four
hours, you know what. Isay the same thing to my clients.
During my day job. I'm almostalways reachable. The only time that I'm
usually not reachable is when I'm sleeping, and even then I may reach over
(05:56):
in the middle of the night ifI wake up and check to see if
somebody messaged me and check on workand see what's going on. So odds
are you'll be able to get tome. And as always, before we
get started, because we can't getinto topics that are a little bit darker
and more difficult to digest, especiallytoday, I mean cards on the table.
(06:18):
I'm frustrated. I've got a lotgoing on. That's just it's building,
and it's building now. I knowenough at this moment where I can
cope with it and I can handleit because I understand how the universe works.
I understand how things work, andthere's a rhythm, there's an ebb
and a flow to life. Forevery up, there's a down. And
(06:40):
even if things are challenging right now, that's okay. It's not going to
go on forever. It will endand I'll come through it on the other
end and I'll have learned more andI'll be stronger for having gone through it.
Now that's rational. Rationally knowing thatdoesn't make it any easier emotionally or
physically or mentally to go through itstill takes a toll, and that's okay.
(07:04):
So we're going to talk about thesetopics and it may get frustrating.
My frustrations may come out. I'mgoing to do my best to keep it
productive, but they may come out. But at the end of the show,
I want us to have that feelingthat we talked about something that needed
to be talked about and we're betterfor having discussed it than not. And
(07:26):
so with that in mind, westart with gratitude. To keep the vibration
high, to keep the frequency high, that really allows us to tackle these
topics without getting drawn down. Youcan take these these difficult topics and come
out on the other end not feelingdisempowered or mad, or frustrated or just
generally pissed off. So with thatsaid, I just want to say that
(07:53):
I am I am so grateful tobe here with you, allowing me to
live out my purpose to help toremind you of who you are and really
capable of so ostracizing. And asI've said before, oftentimes when I when
(08:20):
I get ready to do a show, I will I'll just do some quick
research because there's a lot to this. You know, these are very deep
topics that we go into, andwhen I talk about these topics, oftentimes
(08:41):
I'm just scratching the surface. I'mtrying to give everyone an introduction to at
least give you enough to deal withthese topics and go okay, that kind
of makes sense, with the hopethat you'll want to learn more and maybe
look into it yourself, maybe evenstart doing the work yourself. That's the
(09:01):
ultimate goal. But speaking from justbasic psychology and sociology, here we are
we're social creatures. Okay, we'resocial creatures. That's why prison is considered
(09:24):
to be a punishment because you're cutoff from society, you're cut off from
your friends and family, you're cutoff from your loved ones, and you're
sent into oftentimes isolation, and that'sa punishment. And believe me, that's
a punishment, that is a nojoke punishment that border is on torture in
(09:50):
many cases when we talk about thingslike ostracizing and the especially the prison industrial
complex, isolation, solitary confinement,things like those are used just as throwaways
and people are left there and forgottenfor months and years. The mental toll
(10:16):
that that takes, it's documented everywhere. There's so much documentation to show exactly
what that does, and yet westill do it. Anyway, people come
out of that, for lack ofa better term, this is not a
scientific term, they're fed up.I mean up. There are so many
(10:39):
issues to deal with after that.Now, knowing what we know about ostracizing
people, why do we continue todo it? Well, I would say
(11:13):
at a high level, it's becauseyou've been programmed to do it. I
want you to I want you tothink back to when you were a kid,
or maybe if you even have kids. I want you to think about
this. When you watch your kidsplay with other children, how often do
(11:35):
they ostracize the other kids? Howoften does a toddler say, you know
what you you look a little differentfrom me. I'm not gonna play with
you. I'm gonna need you togo outside of the group over there.
(12:03):
I've never seen it from my kids. I take my kids to the park,
and if there's another kid even remotelyclose to their age, they're often
running, regardless of race, sex, religion, obviously societal status. I'm
(12:26):
sure that they probably have no ideaabout anything about my background, and I
know nothing about their parental background,which is perfectly fine. I don't need
to know anything about them. Butat our purest form, we come into
(12:46):
this realm. We come into thisworld accepting of others, and I would
even say that it's because we understandthat we are all connected. If you
understand anything about quantum physics. Quantumphysics, I've said this before. I
was taught this from my mentor,James Arthur Ray. I believe it one
(13:09):
hundred percent to be true, andit's proven more and more true as time
goes on. Quantum physics is provingscientifically everything that was thought to be a
quote unquote mystery religion or a mysteryteaching or woo woo. Now quantum physics
(13:31):
is actually saying scientifically now that that'strue. Here you go, and what
quantum physics has begin to show isthat we are all connected because the second
law of thermodynamics, excuse me,the first law of thermo dynamics. Energy
(13:56):
can neither be created or destroyed.It can just transfer from one state to
another. So when a new childis brought into this world, that energy
is coming from somewhere because it's alreadyhere. And when someone leaves us in
(14:18):
this realm, when someone dies,when someone passes away, their energy just
transfers state. It's not like itdisappears. Nothing can be destroyed. They
are not destroyed. They transfer toa different state. This is where things
(14:39):
like reincarnation come from. Quantum physicstalks about it as a zero point field,
where if you were to think ofit as the ocean, the ocean
would be the zero point field.That is the field of creation. All
energy that ever is, was andwill be is there. And if you
take a cut up and you goscoop some of that ocean out, now
(15:05):
you have a cup of the ocean. The ocean is still there, that
is still a giant pool of allthe energy that ever has existed. But
you have a little bit in thisvessel, in this cup that's still part
of that ocean. And if youwere to take that cup and pour it
back into the ocean, that rightthere is essentially birth and death. And
(15:30):
I mean that is a very veryvery high level discussion of that. So
when we come into this world,we're still fresh from that zero point field.
We're still fresh from creation. Andyour unconscious mind it knows these things.
(15:54):
So coming into this world, youdon't care about someone else's background.
You just see another person, andyou know that you're meant to be a
social creature. You rely on bonds, you rely on other people. So
your first thought is, hey,what's up, let's go play. You
(16:17):
want to go do something over here? Cool, let's go play on the
swings. Awesome, let's go playbarbies. Hey, let's go ride my
bikes. As you grow older,through things like Hollywood movies and TV,
(16:37):
religion, oh god, religion,public schools, politics, the media,
Oh my god, the media isthe worst one. Out of all of
that, you are programmed to startto see differences in everyone, and when
(17:02):
you start to focus on everything that'sdifferent, you lose sight of the things
that make you the same or similar. And the people behind the scenes,
(17:25):
that is a topic for another show. The people behind the scenes have put
all of this into motion over decades, centuries, even depending on who you
listen to, they know exactly whatthey're doing, and they know they know
(17:48):
psychology better than any of us dobecause they know exactly how to manipulate us.
And we have lost sight of whatwe should be doing. And I
(18:10):
was reminded recently of a beautiful statementthat again I was taught by my coach
and mentor. But service is therent we pay to be here in this
(18:33):
existence. We are meant to behere and to serve others, to provide
value to others, to lift othersup when they fall down, to help
heal others when they become sick orhurt. Now, if I was one
(19:06):
of these shadow figures behind the curtain, pulling the strings making the puppets dance,
I would want everybody to forget that. I would want I would want
you fighting with every single one ofyour neighbors out there. You know why,
because then I could do whatever Iwanted to do, and you would
(19:29):
be so busy fighting with your neighborsabout why their religion is wrong, or
why they're raising their kids wrong,or even I mean, let's be realistic.
If we're really going to go withthis analogy and we're going to really
(19:52):
talk about neighbors, maybe you don'tlike the way they cut the grass,
maybe they have too many weeds,and oh, dear God, it's bringing
down the value of my house becausetheir house looks crappier than my house.
God forbid you go help them.But no, we're not taught that.
(20:15):
We're not taught that anymore. We'retaught about our differences, and we are
taught to point the finger and pointout those differences in others and begin to
ostracize them. Now, as weget ready to go to break at the
bottom of the hour, here understandagain, I am not just shooting from
(20:38):
the hit with this in a mannerof speaking. I am. However,
there's data to pack me up.There is a study done by the National
Institute of Health, and this isfrom an article from this year, March
ninth of twenty twenty three. Therewas experiments done and the participants consisted we
(21:00):
chose to ostracize targets more often quotewhen they perceived them to be either norm
violating or inept in a skill importantfor the group and thus expendable unquote.
Now again, this is from theNational Institute of Health. Okay, the
(21:22):
National Institute of Health even understands thisand has published reports and studies that say
we can be taught to ostracize otherpeople because they're different and therefore we view
them as expendable. Now, Iwant you to let that word sync in
(21:53):
over the break, the fact thatwe are being taught to view another life,
someone else who is a piece ofus. We're all connected, that
we see another part of ourselves,another person, another part of creation,
(22:22):
as expendable. Think about that.When we come back, we'll talk a
little bit more about the individual psychologyand hopefully some ways that we can begin
(22:42):
to pull ourselves out of that.Stay with us. We'll be right back.
Before we went to break, wewere talking about being ostracized. We
were talking about why the system wantsus ostracized, and how we come into
this world not knowing what ostracizing otherpeople is. We're meant. We come
(23:04):
into this world meant to uplift andsupport each other's service is the rent we
pay. But we are programmed throughthe system, the media, religion,
public schools, and unfortunately friends andfamily who have also been programmed and are
(23:26):
passing on those automatic, unconscious beliefsto us through life. And they want
us to do that because as weas we fight amongst each other, they
(23:49):
can go do whatever they want todo, pay no attention to the man
behind the curtain. Now what doesthat do to a person on an individual
(24:11):
level? Now, I can tellyou from personal experience, I was ostracized
from people that I thought were mybest friends. And it is what nine
(24:32):
nine years later, nine years later, I still haven't heard from from them.
And when that first happened, Man, let me tell you what,
I was rutal, rutal, andI mean to the point that I had
(24:56):
considered taking my own life and justnot being here anymore. It was hard,
It was really hard. And whatmade it so much more difficult,
man, let me tell you what. The prosecutor, the judge, they
(25:17):
just didn't care. They did notcare. Now, and here's the difficult
part, here's where I want tobe able to make this distinction. Now,
understand, when I talk about whenI talk about the people behind the
curtains that are pulling the strings,they are a very very very small segment
(25:37):
of this world population. I donot believe that it is the majority of
people. I do believe, however, that some people by the line,
hook, line and sinker, thatthat that's how you need to succeed in
(26:00):
this world is to be cutthroat andbe ruthless and cut anyone down that gets
in your way. And if youbreak the rules, you need to be
punished for it. I don't necessarilybelieve that anymore. Are there natural consequences
to your actions? Yes? Dowe need to make up punishments that essentially
(26:21):
are going to torture mentally and emotionallyand physically other people? No? No,
absolutely not. And an article fromI research net Psychology dot iresearchnet dot
(26:44):
com based on the social psychology ofostracizing people ostracize it and this has excuse
me, quote ostracized individuals show signsof distress and report that their needs have
been thwarted unquote, and that,according to this article, that's even like
(27:06):
in minimal interaction, like even whenstrangers in a minimal interaction ignore people for
a short time. That's people thatyou don't even know not paying attention to
you. The individuals that were inresearch showed signs of distress. I mean,
I want you to think about it. Go back to that research from
(27:32):
the National Institute of Health. Peoplewere ostracized when they reviewed as expendable.
Do you want? Is that howyou want to be viewed? Is that
what you want people to think aboutyou? You know? One of the
things that they have you do inmany self help type of courses. I
(27:56):
think and correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I believe that it
comes from the Seven habits, orat least they have put it into practiced
the most. And one of thethings that they have you do is write
your own eulogy. How do youwant people to remember you? So write
your own eulogy? And it's aninteresting boy. Ed is an interesting practice
(28:21):
and there's a lot to it.But I bring that up because do you
want the first thing to say isbe sure was expendable? The Association for
(28:41):
Psychological Science, which is Psychologicalscience dotorg again talking about the psychological effects of
being ostracized endured for a long time. Quote ostracism leaves people feeling depressed,
and worthless, resigned to loneliness,or desperate for attention, in extreme cases,
(29:07):
suicidal or homicidal unquote. This thatone was from twenty eleven, so
twelve years ago even we were stilltalking about things like that. According to
(29:30):
the APA, the American Psychological AssociationAPA dot org quote, social rejection can
influence emotion, cognition, and evenphysical health. Ostracized people sometimes become aggressive
and can turn to violence. Intwo thousand and three, Leary and colleagues
(29:56):
analyzed fifteen cases of school shooters andfound all but two suffered from social rejection.
The two thousand and three Leary thatthey're talking about, there was a
study done aggressive behavior and it waspublished in two thousand and three, so
they were quoting from that. Soeven in two thousand and three, this
(30:18):
is not something that we don't understand, Like we know all about this.
We know that ostracizing people, shunningpeople, causes not just mental and emotional
damage, it causes physical damage.Now let's take this again to a higher
(30:49):
level. You understand what group thinkis. So group think is when you
get a group of people together,they become like a collective hive mind.
Almost You see this oftentimes in well, sports, for one, Sports is
(31:15):
probably the easiest one to point towards. But you see it in politics with
protests. You remember the movie Menin Black, like the first one when
Tommy Lee Jones is talking to WillSmith. He says, people are smart.
(31:41):
The person is smart. Excuse me, the person is smart. People
are dumb. When people get together, this group think mentality takes over and
you lose your individualism and become partof this collective mind. So, now,
(32:10):
the United States of America, howmany I mean, how many ways
are we divided right now? Race? It's been a race forever, always
(32:30):
been a race. Now it's genderthat stuff's being shoved down our throat.
Look at how different we are ReligionThat is the king right there, and
(32:52):
that goes back centuries. I mean, just think about the Crusades. God
forbid, somebody thinks something differently thanyou. Now let's take that down to
(33:17):
a little bit more of a locallevel. You're people who are in re
entry. Why do we ostracize them? And why is it that we have
(33:49):
lost that ability? How even didwe get to that point that we have
lost that ability to think as theindividual? And this group think has taken
over because I came to you andsaid, hey, you see that guy
over there across the street. Yeah, no, I don't know him either.
I don't know him either. Butyou know what, do you know
what's gonna be really funny? Dude? Let's just ignore him because you know
(34:10):
what it's gonna do. Dude,It is gonna tick him off. Let's
just and when he gets mad,just ignore him even more because you know
what's really gonna be funny, dude, he's gonna get super depressed and he's
probably gonna kill himself. Watch ready, let's do this on three. If
(34:30):
I sat down one on one andsaid that to you, would you honestly
go, yeah, that's a greatidea, or would you say hold on,
uh, let me call the copsreal quick. Or would you maybe
just be like, I'm gonna getout of here, turn and walk away.
(34:52):
Because on an individual level, whenyou're thinking calmly and rationally, you
know that sounds completely psychotic because itis. Now get a whole group of
people together and get a figurehead thathas control of that group mentally they have
(35:22):
they're they're guiding that collective mind,and they say we need to be tough
on crime. These criminals can't keeptaking over our community, and everybody goes,
yeah, let's get them. That'swhere we're at. I can't tell
(35:44):
you how many people who I havesat down with and when I explain to
them by what happened in my case, I swear the reaction is almost always
that's it. Yeah, yeah,yeah, that's it. And the funny
(36:07):
thing is, even for the peoplewho have done some serious things, I
mean, let's let's not even sugarcoatthings. There are people that are inside
of those correctional institutions that have donesome things that definitely needed to be addressed.
We're gonna take the whole punishment thingout of it. They needed to
(36:29):
they needed to be away from everybodyfor a little bit figure their stuff out.
I've met those people, and letme tell you what. Some of
them understand what they've done. Mostof them that I've met, at least
(36:52):
they get it, and they havethey have worked on themselves and they have
changed. And the odds of themever doing anything like that gant are really
really small. But you wouldn't knowthat until you actually sit down and have
a conversation with them. You know, if you're a fan of Ted Lasso,
(37:15):
there's a super famous clip right nowthat's making the rounds. It's on
on TikTok and Facebook reels and allthat, where he's in the pub playing
darts and he's talking about the quotefrom Walt Whitman says, be curious,
not judgmental. Sman, what ifyou were just curious about that person?
(37:37):
What if when you heard someone say, yeah, I was in prison,
or yeah I have a record,or yeah I'm on the registry. What
if instead of letting those pre programmedknee jerk reactions take over, what if
you just said, what do youmind? If I ask? Why would
(37:57):
you be open to telling me aboutthat what happened? How much more could
you learn about other people? Oneof the tenets of the seven habits seek
first to understand, then be understood, seven habits of highly effective people.
(38:23):
And man, we have lost that. We have let the people that want
to control us control us. Nowmore and more people are waking up,
and that's encouraging. What that alsomeans, though, is the people behind
(38:50):
the curtains, the people that runthe system, they're gonna double down because
they're like, oh crap, we'relosing control. Let's step this up.
Don't let it flip. And that'swhy. Oh my gosh, everywhere you
turn now it's like another one.Come on, now we're talking about how
that Jason al Dean song. Trythat in a small town. Oh that's
(39:14):
super racist and he's inciting violence.It's like, oh my gosh, come
on, can I ever get abreak from this stuff? Stop it,
stop it. Stop letting them pullthe strings, Stop letting them control your
mind, stop letting them program yourunconscious. Go back to when you were
(39:43):
a kid. Remember those books.Everything I ever need to learn I learned
in kindergarten. Play nice with others. Like, were we ever taught any
of this in kindergarten? Did theysit us down and say, okay,
well today we're going to learn howto color inside the lines, and then
(40:04):
next we're going to learn why youshould walk on the other side of the
street when you see someone who hasa record walking on the other side.
But it covers that crap. Bekind to others, seek first to understand,
then be understood, Be curious,not judgmental. And now, if
(40:37):
you, like me, are onthe receiving end of that ostracism, want
you to understand something. It's nottheir fault. Most of the time,
these people don't know what they're doing, and the ones that do, the
(40:59):
ones that legitimately know the psychological damagethat it causes, the spiritual damage that
they are doing to the universe andto creation. Is that really someone whose
opinion you should value? Now?Does that let them off the hook entirely?
(41:25):
Or of course it doesn't. Butagain let's flip that script. Seek
first to understand, then be understood. Seek first to understand them and understand
that where they are coming from isa place of ignorance. They don't understand
(41:45):
that these things were pre programmed intothem. They don't understand Most people don't
understand any of that that I justtalked about with quantum physics and the zero
point field and how we're all partof the same creation. Nobody understands that,
or if they do, they hearit and they go, that's a
bunch of bullcrap? Is it?Though I'd say no. And while they
(42:16):
may on some level understand the damagepsychologically, emotionally, mentally, physically,
that ostracizing you does ninety five percentof who we are and what we do.
Excuse me, on a day today basis, is unconscious so they're
(42:40):
not consciously trying to ostracize you.It's an unconscious programming that's kicking in and
they don't understand that. They don'tknow that they were programmed through their church
or their parents, or their friends, or the school, or the movies
that they've been watching all their life, or God, the news that they
(43:02):
might watch or read. They don'tunderstand. So what can you do.
(43:24):
I'll give you two quick things thatI would say two quick quick things.
First of all, live every dayand strive to be the best possible person
you can be for that day.If you see someone on the street that
(43:52):
needs help, go help them realquick. If you see your neighbor out
cutting their lawn, ask anything needhelp. If you see your neighbor and
you notice that the grass is nevercut or their weeds are overgrowing, go
cut the grass or go knock onthe door and say, hey, I'm
your neighbor, can I help.I taught my kids when they were very
(44:14):
young. If you see someone askingfor money, it's okay to give them
a couple of bucks. I amnot one of those people. Oh,
they're just going to use it ondrugs or alcohol anyway. No, you
know what I have seen too manyexamples. I have seen too many people.
I have handed them the money andthey have run across the street and
bought food with it. I've seenthe tears roll down their face. Just
(44:40):
a couple bucks. Strive to beof service every day and just focus on
today. When you wake up inthe morning, just focus on today.
Just say today, I'm just goingto do this today, and then do
(45:02):
it again the next day, andthen do it again the next day.
And number two, surround yourself withthe community of people that understand this already.
Stop focusing on the people that areostracizing you. Focus on the people
(45:27):
that love and accept you for whoyou are. When you can start to
do those two things, especially withthat first thing, if you can focus
on doing that every day, that'show you start to reprogram your unconscious and
(45:54):
when you focus on the second one. Just follow me on this. We're
going to a what if exercise.What if? Just what if you gathered
together a community that was so largeand so powerful that your group think overcame
(46:15):
the other groups group think and insteadof being led by whatever figurehead politician or
law enforcement officer or community leader,whoever it was, what if all of
a sudden, they followed with yourgroup think because your group was so large
(46:36):
and so powerful. Because remember allthe way back to the beginning, we're
social creatures. We want to bepart of the group. So you know
what, Let's create a new community. Let's create a new system that works
so well that it completely invent validatesthe old system, and they have no
(47:01):
choice but to come over. Thankyou very much for your time today.
I hope you have had had valueout of today's show. Don't forget to
reach out. Let me know ifyou have a story that needs to be
told. I'd love to hear fromyou. Facebook dot com, slash Surviving
the System, Twitter at stsdpodcast andon Surviving Thesystem dot org. And as
(47:25):
always, remember keep your head up, don't let them get you. It
may be easy to look at allthe corruption and manipulation in the system and
feel hopeless. Here at Surviving theSystem, we hold to the belief that
greatness is born in the midst ofextraordinary struggles. You were created with a
purpose, with infinite potential, andmany have lost sight of that back We're
(47:47):
here to remind you of who youare. The best revenge is success.
The thirteenth Amendment to the United StatesConstitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as
a punishment for a crime. Everwondered how we ended up with the largest
prison population of any country. Haveyou noticed that those whose jobs it is
to protect and serve seem to bedemanding more and more blind obedience. You
didn't think it just happened by chance, did you. It's time to call
(00:23):
attention to the fact our government asthe most prolific slave owner on the planet.
This is surviving the system. Thankyou for joining me today on surviving
the system. This is dance andDave and you know today man, I
really just want to talk about Iwant to talk more about the community.
(00:43):
If you've listened to me for anytime, you know that one of the
big things that I talk to peopleabout is surrounding yourself with a community of
people that will support you, notnot people that are like you. Know
how people will say, oh,I want a group of like minded pep.
I don't people that think like me. I want people that think differently
(01:03):
from me. I want the peoplethat are going to compliment me and challenge
me and push me and continue togrow. I want to be surrounded by
the people that know the things thatI don't know and think about things that
I don't think about, so Ican stretch myself. Now, the flip
side of that of your community isbeing ostracized and anybody that has, anybody
(01:29):
that has had any kind of arun in with the system. I don't
care if it's the legal system,the prison system, the justice quote unquote
system, all the way down tothe financial system, the insurance system,
the medical system. When you buttup against those times when you feel like
nobody is listening to you and you'regoing out of your mind because you're like,
(01:51):
how is this even possibly happening,the community starts to ostracize you,
and my personal opinion, let's bevery clear. I will preface this.
I will be extraordinarily clear as bestto my ability as I possibly can.
This is my opinion. It isdone on purpose. It is absolutely done
(02:15):
on purpose. So I really wantto try to tackle this from two fronts.
We're going to tackle it at thehigh level, because, make no
doubt about it, we have enemiesthat are out there and they want us
fighting with each other. The morethat we're fighting amongst each other and the
more that we're ostracizing one another andpointing fingers and rioting and protesting about why
(02:38):
somebody else is being so super meanto me. They're getting away with whatever
the hell they want to do becausewe're looking the other direction. I mean,
it's basic warfare tactics. And thesecond part of that, I really
(02:58):
want to get into and discuss alittle bit of the psychology of ostracizing and
being ostracized from both sides. Itmight get a little bit deep. And
when I say deep, I meanwe might start to get into the realm
(03:19):
of esoteric. And you know what, that's okay, because everything goes that
way anyway. If you keep followingthe threads deep enough, eventually everything ends
up on a spiritual level, anesoteric level, and we're just going to
follow it and we're going to gothere. So heads up. Hopefully this
will be a little bit of adeeper show than we've gone into before,
(03:40):
but it's a deep topic. Beforewe get started, or do you want
to do just a couple of quickhousekeeping items. First of all, thank
you to everybody that has reached outto me lately. I have a string
of interviews that are going to becoming up hopefully within just the next few
weeks. I have had people readafter they listen to the interview about Dwayne
(04:03):
Williams and his situation. I knowthat there's a lot of people out there
with similar situations and it, butit just never ceases to amaze me when
they reach out to me and it'slike, oh my god, it's everywhere.
It's happening to people everywhere. Sothank you all for reaching out and
continue to do so. And ifyou have a story that needs to be
(04:26):
told, I'd love to hear itthis platform. When I say this,
I don't say this just as somethrowaway. This is your platform as much
as it is mine. This isyour place to come and get it off
your chest, talk about it.This is my therapy oftentimes because I come
here and I talk about the stuffthat's weighing on my head that I'm trying
(04:47):
to figure out on my own andjust being able to talk about it.
By the end of the show,it's like, all right, I think
I figured that out now I knowhow to handle it. And most people
that I bring on here in similarsituations, after they've gotten done at the
end of the show, they go, man, that was great. That
was a lot of fun. Ireally needed that. That was kind of
cathartic. Yeah, I know,so come on, talk about this stuff.
(05:11):
The more we talk about it,the less we're ostracizing ourselves. Ironically
enough, So reach out to methrough Facebook, dot com, slash Surviving
the System on Twitter at STS,thepodcast, and the website Survivingthsystem dot org.
I have a contact me section there. Just shoot me a message.
(05:34):
I'll end up in my email.I do try to respond within twenty four
hours, you know what. Isay the same thing to my clients.
During my day job. I'm almostalways reachable. The only time that I'm
usually not reachable is when I'm sleeping, and even then I may reach over
(05:56):
in the middle of the night ifI wake up and check to see if
somebody messaged me and check on workand see what's going on. So odds
are you'll be able to get tome. And as always, before we
get started, because we can't getinto topics that are a little bit darker
and more difficult to digest, especiallytoday, I mean cards on the table.
(06:18):
I'm frustrated. I've got a lotgoing on. That's just it's building,
and it's building now. I knowenough at this moment where I can
cope with it and I can handleit because I understand how the universe works.
I understand how things work, andthere's a rhythm, there's an ebb
and a flow to life. Forevery up, there's a down. And
(06:40):
even if things are challenging right now, that's okay. It's not going to
go on forever. It will endand I'll come through it on the other
end and I'll have learned more andI'll be stronger for having gone through it.
Now that's rational. Rationally knowing thatdoesn't make it any easier emotionally or
physically or mentally to go through itstill takes a toll, and that's okay.
(07:04):
So we're going to talk about thesetopics and it may get frustrating.
My frustrations may come out. I'mgoing to do my best to keep it
productive, but they may come out. But at the end of the show,
I want us to have that feelingthat we talked about something that needed
to be talked about and we're betterfor having discussed it than not. And
(07:26):
so with that in mind, westart with gratitude. To keep the vibration
high, to keep the frequency high, that really allows us to tackle these
topics without getting drawn down. Youcan take these these difficult topics and come
out on the other end not feelingdisempowered or mad, or frustrated or just
generally pissed off. So with thatsaid, I just want to say that
(07:53):
I am I am so grateful tobe here with you, allowing me to
live out my purpose to help toremind you of who you are and really
capable of so ostracizing. And asI've said before, oftentimes when I when
(08:20):
I get ready to do a show, I will I'll just do some quick
research because there's a lot to this. You know, these are very deep
topics that we go into, andwhen I talk about these topics, oftentimes
(08:41):
I'm just scratching the surface. I'mtrying to give everyone an introduction to at
least give you enough to deal withthese topics and go okay, that kind
of makes sense, with the hopethat you'll want to learn more and maybe
look into it yourself, maybe evenstart doing the work yourself. That's the
(09:01):
ultimate goal. But speaking from justbasic psychology and sociology, here we are
we're social creatures. Okay, we'resocial creatures. That's why prison is considered
(09:24):
to be a punishment because you're cutoff from society, you're cut off from
your friends and family, you're cutoff from your loved ones, and you're
sent into oftentimes isolation, and that'sa punishment. And believe me, that's
a punishment, that is a nojoke punishment that border is on torture in
(09:50):
many cases when we talk about thingslike ostracizing and the especially the prison industrial
complex, isolation, solitary confinement,things like those are used just as throwaways
and people are left there and forgottenfor months and years. The mental toll
(10:16):
that that takes, it's documented everywhere. There's so much documentation to show exactly
what that does, and yet westill do it. Anyway, people come
out of that, for lack ofa better term, this is not a
scientific term, they're fed up.I mean up. There are so many
(10:39):
issues to deal with after that.Now, knowing what we know about ostracizing
people, why do we continue todo it? Well, I would say
(11:13):
at a high level, it's becauseyou've been programmed to do it. I
want you to I want you tothink back to when you were a kid,
or maybe if you even have kids. I want you to think about
this. When you watch your kidsplay with other children, how often do
(11:35):
they ostracize the other kids? Howoften does a toddler say, you know
what you you look a little differentfrom me. I'm not gonna play with
you. I'm gonna need you togo outside of the group over there.
(12:03):
I've never seen it from my kids. I take my kids to the park,
and if there's another kid even remotelyclose to their age, they're often
running, regardless of race, sex, religion, obviously societal status. I'm
(12:26):
sure that they probably have no ideaabout anything about my background, and I
know nothing about their parental background,which is perfectly fine. I don't need
to know anything about them. Butat our purest form, we come into
(12:46):
this realm. We come into thisworld accepting of others, and I would
even say that it's because we understandthat we are all connected. If you
understand anything about quantum physics. Quantumphysics, I've said this before. I
was taught this from my mentor,James Arthur Ray. I believe it one
(13:09):
hundred percent to be true, andit's proven more and more true as time
goes on. Quantum physics is provingscientifically everything that was thought to be a
quote unquote mystery religion or a mysteryteaching or woo woo. Now quantum physics
(13:31):
is actually saying scientifically now that that'strue. Here you go, and what
quantum physics has begin to show isthat we are all connected because the second
law of thermodynamics, excuse me,the first law of thermo dynamics. Energy
(13:56):
can neither be created or destroyed.It can just transfer from one state to
another. So when a new childis brought into this world, that energy
is coming from somewhere because it's alreadyhere. And when someone leaves us in
(14:18):
this realm, when someone dies,when someone passes away, their energy just
transfers state. It's not like itdisappears. Nothing can be destroyed. They
are not destroyed. They transfer toa different state. This is where things
(14:39):
like reincarnation come from. Quantum physicstalks about it as a zero point field,
where if you were to think ofit as the ocean, the ocean
would be the zero point field.That is the field of creation. All
energy that ever is, was andwill be is there. And if you
take a cut up and you goscoop some of that ocean out, now
(15:05):
you have a cup of the ocean. The ocean is still there, that
is still a giant pool of allthe energy that ever has existed. But
you have a little bit in thisvessel, in this cup that's still part
of that ocean. And if youwere to take that cup and pour it
back into the ocean, that rightthere is essentially birth and death. And
(15:30):
I mean that is a very veryvery high level discussion of that. So
when we come into this world,we're still fresh from that zero point field.
We're still fresh from creation. Andyour unconscious mind it knows these things.
(15:54):
So coming into this world, youdon't care about someone else's background.
You just see another person, andyou know that you're meant to be a
social creature. You rely on bonds, you rely on other people. So
your first thought is, hey,what's up, let's go play. You
(16:17):
want to go do something over here? Cool, let's go play on the
swings. Awesome, let's go playbarbies. Hey, let's go ride my
bikes. As you grow older,through things like Hollywood movies and TV,
(16:37):
religion, oh god, religion,public schools, politics, the media,
Oh my god, the media isthe worst one. Out of all of
that, you are programmed to startto see differences in everyone, and when
(17:02):
you start to focus on everything that'sdifferent, you lose sight of the things
that make you the same or similar. And the people behind the scenes,
(17:25):
that is a topic for another show. The people behind the scenes have put
all of this into motion over decades, centuries, even depending on who you
listen to, they know exactly whatthey're doing, and they know they know
(17:48):
psychology better than any of us dobecause they know exactly how to manipulate us.
And we have lost sight of whatwe should be doing. And I
(18:10):
was reminded recently of a beautiful statementthat again I was taught by my coach
and mentor. But service is therent we pay to be here in this
(18:33):
existence. We are meant to behere and to serve others, to provide
value to others, to lift othersup when they fall down, to help
heal others when they become sick orhurt. Now, if I was one
(19:06):
of these shadow figures behind the curtain, pulling the strings making the puppets dance,
I would want everybody to forget that. I would want I would want
you fighting with every single one ofyour neighbors out there. You know why,
because then I could do whatever Iwanted to do, and you would
(19:29):
be so busy fighting with your neighborsabout why their religion is wrong, or
why they're raising their kids wrong,or even I mean, let's be realistic.
If we're really going to go withthis analogy and we're going to really
(19:52):
talk about neighbors, maybe you don'tlike the way they cut the grass,
maybe they have too many weeds,and oh, dear God, it's bringing
down the value of my house becausetheir house looks crappier than my house.
God forbid you go help them.But no, we're not taught that.
(20:15):
We're not taught that anymore. We'retaught about our differences, and we are
taught to point the finger and pointout those differences in others and begin to
ostracize them. Now, as weget ready to go to break at the
bottom of the hour, here understandagain, I am not just shooting from
(20:38):
the hit with this in a mannerof speaking. I am. However,
there's data to pack me up.There is a study done by the National
Institute of Health, and this isfrom an article from this year, March
ninth of twenty twenty three. Therewas experiments done and the participants consisted we
(21:00):
chose to ostracize targets more often quotewhen they perceived them to be either norm
violating or inept in a skill importantfor the group and thus expendable unquote.
Now again, this is from theNational Institute of Health. Okay, the
(21:22):
National Institute of Health even understands thisand has published reports and studies that say
we can be taught to ostracize otherpeople because they're different and therefore we view
them as expendable. Now, Iwant you to let that word sync in
(21:53):
over the break, the fact thatwe are being taught to view another life,
someone else who is a piece ofus. We're all connected, that
we see another part of ourselves,another person, another part of creation,
(22:22):
as expendable. Think about that.When we come back, we'll talk a
little bit more about the individual psychologyand hopefully some ways that we can begin
(22:42):
to pull ourselves out of that.Stay with us. We'll be right back.
Before we went to break, wewere talking about being ostracized. We
were talking about why the system wantsus ostracized, and how we come into
this world not knowing what ostracizing otherpeople is. We're meant. We come
(23:04):
into this world meant to uplift andsupport each other's service is the rent we
pay. But we are programmed throughthe system, the media, religion,
public schools, and unfortunately friends andfamily who have also been programmed and are
(23:26):
passing on those automatic, unconscious beliefsto us through life. And they want
us to do that because as weas we fight amongst each other, they
(23:49):
can go do whatever they want todo, pay no attention to the man
behind the curtain. Now what doesthat do to a person on an individual
(24:11):
level? Now, I can tellyou from personal experience, I was ostracized
from people that I thought were mybest friends. And it is what nine
(24:32):
nine years later, nine years later, I still haven't heard from from them.
And when that first happened, Man, let me tell you what,
I was rutal, rutal, andI mean to the point that I had
(24:56):
considered taking my own life and justnot being here anymore. It was hard,
It was really hard. And whatmade it so much more difficult,
man, let me tell you what. The prosecutor, the judge, they
(25:17):
just didn't care. They did notcare. Now, and here's the difficult
part, here's where I want tobe able to make this distinction. Now,
understand, when I talk about whenI talk about the people behind the
curtains that are pulling the strings,they are a very very very small segment
(25:37):
of this world population. I donot believe that it is the majority of
people. I do believe, however, that some people by the line,
hook, line and sinker, thatthat that's how you need to succeed in
(26:00):
this world is to be cutthroat andbe ruthless and cut anyone down that gets
in your way. And if youbreak the rules, you need to be
punished for it. I don't necessarilybelieve that anymore. Are there natural consequences
to your actions? Yes? Dowe need to make up punishments that essentially
(26:21):
are going to torture mentally and emotionallyand physically other people? No? No,
absolutely not. And an article fromI research net Psychology dot iresearchnet dot
(26:44):
com based on the social psychology ofostracizing people ostracize it and this has excuse
me, quote ostracized individuals show signsof distress and report that their needs have
been thwarted unquote, and that,according to this article, that's even like
(27:06):
in minimal interaction, like even whenstrangers in a minimal interaction ignore people for
a short time. That's people thatyou don't even know not paying attention to
you. The individuals that were inresearch showed signs of distress. I mean,
I want you to think about it. Go back to that research from
(27:32):
the National Institute of Health. Peoplewere ostracized when they reviewed as expendable.
Do you want? Is that howyou want to be viewed? Is that
what you want people to think aboutyou? You know? One of the
things that they have you do inmany self help type of courses. I
(27:56):
think and correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I believe that it
comes from the Seven habits, orat least they have put it into practiced
the most. And one of thethings that they have you do is write
your own eulogy. How do youwant people to remember you? So write
your own eulogy? And it's aninteresting boy. Ed is an interesting practice
(28:21):
and there's a lot to it.But I bring that up because do you
want the first thing to say isbe sure was expendable? The Association for
(28:41):
Psychological Science, which is Psychologicalscience dotorg again talking about the psychological effects of
being ostracized endured for a long time. Quote ostracism leaves people feeling depressed,
and worthless, resigned to loneliness,or desperate for attention, in extreme cases,
(29:07):
suicidal or homicidal unquote. This thatone was from twenty eleven, so
twelve years ago even we were stilltalking about things like that. According to
(29:30):
the APA, the American Psychological AssociationAPA dot org quote, social rejection can
influence emotion, cognition, and evenphysical health. Ostracized people sometimes become aggressive
and can turn to violence. Intwo thousand and three, Leary and colleagues
(29:56):
analyzed fifteen cases of school shooters andfound all but two suffered from social rejection.
The two thousand and three Leary thatthey're talking about, there was a
study done aggressive behavior and it waspublished in two thousand and three, so
they were quoting from that. Soeven in two thousand and three, this
(30:18):
is not something that we don't understand, Like we know all about this.
We know that ostracizing people, shunningpeople, causes not just mental and emotional
damage, it causes physical damage.Now let's take this again to a higher
(30:49):
level. You understand what group thinkis. So group think is when you
get a group of people together,they become like a collective hive mind.
Almost You see this oftentimes in well, sports, for one, Sports is
(31:15):
probably the easiest one to point towards. But you see it in politics with
protests. You remember the movie Menin Black, like the first one when
Tommy Lee Jones is talking to WillSmith. He says, people are smart.
(31:41):
The person is smart. Excuse me, the person is smart. People
are dumb. When people get together, this group think mentality takes over and
you lose your individualism and become partof this collective mind. So, now,
(32:10):
the United States of America, howmany I mean, how many ways
are we divided right now? Race? It's been a race forever, always
(32:30):
been a race. Now it's genderthat stuff's being shoved down our throat.
Look at how different we are ReligionThat is the king right there, and
(32:52):
that goes back centuries. I mean, just think about the Crusades. God
forbid, somebody thinks something differently thanyou. Now let's take that down to
(33:17):
a little bit more of a locallevel. You're people who are in re
entry. Why do we ostracize them? And why is it that we have
(33:49):
lost that ability? How even didwe get to that point that we have
lost that ability to think as theindividual? And this group think has taken
over because I came to you andsaid, hey, you see that guy
over there across the street. Yeah, no, I don't know him either.
I don't know him either. Butyou know what, do you know
what's gonna be really funny? Dude? Let's just ignore him because you know
(34:10):
what it's gonna do. Dude,It is gonna tick him off. Let's
just and when he gets mad,just ignore him even more because you know
what's really gonna be funny, dude, he's gonna get super depressed and he's
probably gonna kill himself. Watch ready, let's do this on three. If
(34:30):
I sat down one on one andsaid that to you, would you honestly
go, yeah, that's a greatidea, or would you say hold on,
uh, let me call the copsreal quick. Or would you maybe
just be like, I'm gonna getout of here, turn and walk away.
(34:52):
Because on an individual level, whenyou're thinking calmly and rationally, you
know that sounds completely psychotic because itis. Now get a whole group of
people together and get a figurehead thathas control of that group mentally they have
(35:22):
they're they're guiding that collective mind,and they say we need to be tough
on crime. These criminals can't keeptaking over our community, and everybody goes,
yeah, let's get them. That'swhere we're at. I can't tell
(35:44):
you how many people who I havesat down with and when I explain to
them by what happened in my case, I swear the reaction is almost always
that's it. Yeah, yeah,yeah, that's it. And the funny
(36:07):
thing is, even for the peoplewho have done some serious things, I
mean, let's let's not even sugarcoatthings. There are people that are inside
of those correctional institutions that have donesome things that definitely needed to be addressed.
We're gonna take the whole punishment thingout of it. They needed to
(36:29):
they needed to be away from everybodyfor a little bit figure their stuff out.
I've met those people, and letme tell you what. Some of
them understand what they've done. Mostof them that I've met, at least
(36:52):
they get it, and they havethey have worked on themselves and they have
changed. And the odds of themever doing anything like that gant are really
really small. But you wouldn't knowthat until you actually sit down and have
a conversation with them. You know, if you're a fan of Ted Lasso,
(37:15):
there's a super famous clip right nowthat's making the rounds. It's on
on TikTok and Facebook reels and allthat, where he's in the pub playing
darts and he's talking about the quotefrom Walt Whitman says, be curious,
not judgmental. Sman, what ifyou were just curious about that person?
(37:37):
What if when you heard someone say, yeah, I was in prison,
or yeah I have a record,or yeah I'm on the registry. What
if instead of letting those pre programmedknee jerk reactions take over, what if
you just said, what do youmind? If I ask? Why would
(37:57):
you be open to telling me aboutthat what happened? How much more could
you learn about other people? Oneof the tenets of the seven habits seek
first to understand, then be understood, seven habits of highly effective people.
(38:23):
And man, we have lost that. We have let the people that want
to control us control us. Nowmore and more people are waking up,
and that's encouraging. What that alsomeans, though, is the people behind
(38:50):
the curtains, the people that runthe system, they're gonna double down because
they're like, oh crap, we'relosing control. Let's step this up.
Don't let it flip. And that'swhy. Oh my gosh, everywhere you
turn now it's like another one.Come on, now we're talking about how
that Jason al Dean song. Trythat in a small town. Oh that's
(39:14):
super racist and he's inciting violence.It's like, oh my gosh, come
on, can I ever get abreak from this stuff? Stop it,
stop it. Stop letting them pullthe strings, Stop letting them control your
mind, stop letting them program yourunconscious. Go back to when you were
(39:43):
a kid. Remember those books.Everything I ever need to learn I learned
in kindergarten. Play nice with others. Like, were we ever taught any
of this in kindergarten? Did theysit us down and say, okay,
well today we're going to learn howto color inside the lines, and then
(40:04):
next we're going to learn why youshould walk on the other side of the
street when you see someone who hasa record walking on the other side.
But it covers that crap. Bekind to others, seek first to understand,
then be understood, Be curious,not judgmental. And now, if
(40:37):
you, like me, are onthe receiving end of that ostracism, want
you to understand something. It's nottheir fault. Most of the time,
these people don't know what they're doing, and the ones that do, the
(40:59):
ones that legitimately know the psychological damagethat it causes, the spiritual damage that
they are doing to the universe andto creation. Is that really someone whose
opinion you should value? Now?Does that let them off the hook entirely?
(41:25):
Or of course it doesn't. Butagain let's flip that script. Seek
first to understand, then be understood. Seek first to understand them and understand
that where they are coming from isa place of ignorance. They don't understand
(41:45):
that these things were pre programmed intothem. They don't understand Most people don't
understand any of that that I justtalked about with quantum physics and the zero
point field and how we're all partof the same creation. Nobody understands that,
or if they do, they hearit and they go, that's a
bunch of bullcrap? Is it?Though I'd say no. And while they
(42:16):
may on some level understand the damagepsychologically, emotionally, mentally, physically,
that ostracizing you does ninety five percentof who we are and what we do.
Excuse me, on a day today basis, is unconscious so they're
(42:40):
not consciously trying to ostracize you.It's an unconscious programming that's kicking in and
they don't understand that. They don'tknow that they were programmed through their church
or their parents, or their friends, or the school, or the movies
that they've been watching all their life, or God, the news that they
(43:02):
might watch or read. They don'tunderstand. So what can you do.
(43:24):
I'll give you two quick things thatI would say two quick quick things.
First of all, live every dayand strive to be the best possible person
you can be for that day.If you see someone on the street that
(43:52):
needs help, go help them realquick. If you see your neighbor out
cutting their lawn, ask anything needhelp. If you see your neighbor and
you notice that the grass is nevercut or their weeds are overgrowing, go
cut the grass or go knock onthe door and say, hey, I'm
your neighbor, can I help.I taught my kids when they were very
(44:14):
young. If you see someone askingfor money, it's okay to give them
a couple of bucks. I amnot one of those people. Oh,
they're just going to use it ondrugs or alcohol anyway. No, you
know what I have seen too manyexamples. I have seen too many people.
I have handed them the money andthey have run across the street and
bought food with it. I've seenthe tears roll down their face. Just
(44:40):
a couple bucks. Strive to beof service every day and just focus on
today. When you wake up inthe morning, just focus on today.
Just say today, I'm just goingto do this today, and then do
(45:02):
it again the next day, andthen do it again the next day.
And number two, surround yourself withthe community of people that understand this already.
Stop focusing on the people that areostracizing you. Focus on the people
(45:27):
that love and accept you for whoyou are. When you can start to
do those two things, especially withthat first thing, if you can focus
on doing that every day, that'show you start to reprogram your unconscious and
(45:54):
when you focus on the second one. Just follow me on this. We're
going to a what if exercise.What if? Just what if you gathered
together a community that was so largeand so powerful that your group think overcame
(46:15):
the other groups group think and insteadof being led by whatever figurehead politician or
law enforcement officer or community leader,whoever it was, what if all of
a sudden, they followed with yourgroup think because your group was so large
(46:36):
and so powerful. Because remember allthe way back to the beginning, we're
social creatures. We want to bepart of the group. So you know
what, Let's create a new community. Let's create a new system that works
so well that it completely invent validatesthe old system, and they have no
(47:01):
choice but to come over. Thankyou very much for your time today.
