Speaker 1 (00:01):
In this week's show I'm speaking to somebody who's
had the pinnacle of success inSilicon Valley and yet decided
to pivot and co-create a globalnon-profit helping people awake
into our interconnectedness.
This week I'm speaking toauthor Steve Farrell.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is determining that we are actually putting
energy out into a universe, intoa cosmos, and it's like
throwing a pebble into a lake,where there's an expansion of
that energy, of that action outinto the universe that we
actually are all deeplyconnected, as the physicists in
(00:46):
particular quantum physicistsare sharing.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Hello and welcome to the James Grimes from Podcast
SuperSoul Model Series, where Ihelp people tune and tap into
their natural state ofwell-being.
This week, on this episode, weare blessed to have Steve
Farrell.
Steve is a very interestingcharacter in human being because
we're going to be talking aboutconscious living and leadership
.
Steve's journey takes us fromthe pinnacles of success in
(01:12):
Silicon Valley all the way toco-founding humanity's team with
Neil Donald Walsh, which is aglobal non-profit, and it's
helping people awake into ourinterconnectedness.
Steve's got a fantastic newbook out called A New Universal
Dream, which we're going to betalking about.
But without further ado, let'swelcome this week's guest, Steve
Farrell.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
James, thank you so much for the generous
introduction.
I'm excited to be here andlooking forward to diving in
with you.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Let's do that, steve.
So, steve, you've written thisnew book and it's called A New
Universal Dream.
Tell us a little bit how thisnew book came about.
What inspired you?
Because you've been in SiliconValley, you've had great success
there and this is a verydifferent type of book from the
success that maybe you've had inother areas of business in
Silicon Valley.
(02:00):
So what inspired you to thisbook, a New Universal Dream?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, so thanks, james.
The book is a true story of my50-year journey from age 12 to
all the way to today, and itpicks up starts with me living
with a divorced mom, sixbrothers and sisters, in a very
small home on the East Coast1200 square feet, so probably a
lot of your viewers can relate.
(02:26):
And then, after college, movingout to Northern California, to
Silicon Valley, finding myselfin the right place at the right
time as I'm starting sometechnology companies, and the
first company went to 75 millionin 10 years.
We started out just two guysused furniture, very small and
(02:47):
expensive executive suite, andthen inside of that company we
birthed a second company that wetook to 75 million in two years
.
It was Venture Capital Back, soI was one of those that was
able to climb into that upperrung of what they call the
American Dream, where you've gotthe fame and fortune and the
(03:09):
private jets and all of thosekinds of things, and so I've had
full visibility to that.
Now the surprising thing, james, is that it wasn't at all what
I expected it was a land of ingeneral it's a little dangerous
to talk generally but of wantingmore and prioritizing more, so
(03:31):
that's going to put a lot ofpressure on relationships with
your spouse, your kids, yourbest friends, your coworkers, et
cetera, because you're workingthat money machine, that top
line and bottom line growth.
And even in the 90s when thiswas going on, there were huge
challenges in the world then,much like today actually.
(03:52):
You could see global warming,extreme weather, there were wars
and things, and I realized thatI was playing a kids game in a
sense, growing these companiestop line and bottom line as the
CEO and chairman of thesecompanies.
And I knew that there was moreand I went through my own
personal awakening experiencethere in the mid 90s.
(04:12):
You mentioned Neil Donald Walsh, who founded then Humanities
Team, this 501c3 nonprofit thatI've been leading for the last
20 years, and so in the midst ofthat journey I could see that I
lost my passion for justbusiness top line, bottom line.
(04:34):
I sold all of these things.
I left these businessassociations.
Then for two years I actuallydidn't have anything substantial
to do because it was two yearsbefore Neil and I started
Humanities Team.
So it was a lot of realmeditation and feeling in and
all I knew was that there was aspiritual journey that I would
(04:54):
participate in, where I would beof some assistance where I
would be the reason that I wasborn into this life not, and
that the Silicon Valleyexperience was just to provide
the tools.
In a sense, it was like aspiritual gem.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Sure, what was the pivotal moment for you?
There must have been a pivotalmoment where it was like, okay,
I'm experiencing this outwardsuccess that a lot of people are
trying to reach, but what wasthe pivotal moment where you
were like, okay, this isn't whatI thought it was.
It's not to say that you can'thave that or that's not great
(05:30):
for you, but it wasn't great forSteve where he was at.
That's what I'm trying to getto, because that's the there's
something inside of you thatmoves to go.
I don't know if this is agreeingwith me anymore, or at least
the way I'm showing up in theworld, because you must have had
a question that goessomething's not quite right or
the finger I haven't quite gotthe finger right because you
(05:52):
were so successful with settingup those two companies and
getting to 75 million so quickly, which in some businesses most
99 businesses fail within thefirst three years and you turned
over 75 million in two in thesecond company.
So what's the pivotal momentfor Steve Farrell that just went
.
Do you know what?
(06:12):
I know I'm very good at this,but this isn't quite right for
me.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
So yeah, so it was a moment actually in my townhouse
in Marin County in NorthernCalifornia, there in the 90s,
where I had done this homework,this research, I'd educated
myself on this whole what wecall conscious living, which is
this whole Universalconsciousness animating all of
life is one way of expressing it.
Most of us probably yourlisteners have had their own
(06:38):
personal awakening experience.
It's dramatically influencedthem.
I did as well.
So the moment came there in thelate 90s, where I was sitting
in my townhouse and I said I'mnot gonna be plant two feet in
different worlds one where I'mJoe and Linda's son, one body,
(07:00):
one life to live.
I'll go five feet under at theend of this life, or I'm the son
of the most hot, as we all are.
That were emanations of the onethat there's a, there is a
universal Consciousnessanimating all of life that I was
actually sent here by that one,as you were, james, as your
viewers were, which means I havethe properties of the one, I
(07:22):
have everlasting life, I haveunlimited potential, all of
those things.
So I wasn't gonna be Psychoticwith trying to live in in two
very different understandings.
I I understood that night thatmy truth was the second one that
(07:42):
my parents had delivered me tothe world.
They were like the airportterminal that delivered my body
to the world, but I actuallycame from source, from the
divine, from God.
You could usually were in itsuniverse and Cosmos as well.
These terms are interchangeable, but in and and I'm here at
this time when we're in thisgreat shift of the ages, right,
(08:02):
we're all this huge pettit isgoing on right now.
We're looking out on the worldand they, we've got climate
change and extreme weather andwe've got wars and and we've got
Polarity and in all over theplace and politics, but more
than that and what we could.
I didn't actually understandthis fully then when I made that
(08:25):
decision to live into thissecond Self, this true self.
But what I've come to understand, james, is that there's
actually no such thing.
This might this might be kindof jaw-dropping, but if you sit
with this, I think you mightfind it's true that there's
actually no such thing, that itis a fiction that there's even
(08:46):
such a thing as a separated self.
There's, there's no, there's nosuch thing as Steve Farrell and
a body separated from thecosmos and universe and world
around me.
And if you're reading currentscience, like popular mechanics
just had a Article out.
Apple news picked it up andwhich this is a mainstream
publication.
It said oh my gosh, sciences isdetermining that we're actually
(09:10):
putting energy out into auniverse, into a cosmos, and
it's like a throwing a pebbleinto a lake where there's an
expansion of that energy, ofthat Action out into the
universe that we actually areall deeply connected, as the
Physicists, in particularquantum physicists, are sharing
(09:32):
today.
So so that was the pivotalmoment when I said I'm this and
I'm not that, and the groundshifted under me, that this, the
my worldview shifted.
I'm looking at the sacred, notjust an object, when I'm looking
at people in the earth, and mylife dramatically changed from
that moment on.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Wow I mean to have.
That insight is big, and youknow anybody who's listening
there's usually a suffering thatcalls to awakening.
It's not always a suffering,but in my case it was.
You know like.
I had a car crash and I waslike, wow, I'm here for a reason
, and you know my I've told thismany a time to my audience, and
the audience, and you know Iwas like that made me look at
(10:13):
life differently, because Ishouldn't technically be here.
You know, there is no way Ishould be here yet alone, wake
up outside a car, consciously,with nothing on my face.
Like you know, I feel thatdivine Intervention took place
that evening when I was 19, andI've got so many people to thank
(10:36):
for that, physically andnon-physically, that has just
said right, give him another go.
And Whilst I'm still a flawedcharacter and whilst I'm not
perfect, I Did change the way Ithought about the world and
perceived it.
So, you know, however we turn upin the world whoever's
(10:56):
listening you know there issomething going on underneath
the current.
There's something going onunderneath that ocean of
consciousness that's moving usand guiding us, and I love the
way you put that.
You know when you were sayingthat with regards to, you know
you'll wake up called frommoving from like the Normal way
of living to the sacred way ofliving.
(11:18):
So in your book, you know youtalk about like the priorities.
You know what are thepriorities that we need as human
beings, because you know weneed to go about our day, we
need to function.
You know how can we step in thesacred world, as you talk about
it, yet still live in the realworld.
(11:40):
You know we kind of like haveto participate in this world.
We can't.
You know it's not about, like,being airy-fair, it's about
having your feet on the groundyet still be grounded in this
Understanding, be undergroundunderstanding, in this knowing.
Say, how would one have theirpriorities, you know, in place?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well, first let me say what that's a beautiful
story.
I hadn't heard your personalstory, james and boy.
There's no question but thatthe divine slash universe is
using you.
So that that is beautiful.
Now, as to your question, it'sactually much, much easier than
we think.
You know, when I was livingfrom the I'll call it the logic
(12:23):
center of my mind, then I wouldsay I would see the complexity,
the questions, the challenges,that different from the Various
options, all of these thingsPart of for me being on this
conscious journey, this oneness,this omnipresence, this divine
presence, this divinity, part ofit in my daily practice, is
where I'm attuning to connectingwith the divine, her slash, his
(12:48):
self, where I am in that placeof connection as an emanation of
the one, where I can actuallyfeel his energy, her energy.
I can feel what I am to do.
From my station in life, I'mguided actually to the things
each day that I'm to do, as Iconsider myself the arms and
(13:08):
legs and lungs of her, of him.
That's what I've said I want todo with my life is you.
There's a lot that needs to bedone.
Work through me.
You know I can't do everything,but everybody can do something.
So, from my station in life.
What are the things that I amto do?
And one I feel an unbelievablelove for myself and,
incidentally, for every I feellike James for you is the extent
(13:33):
to which God loves you.
Oh, my God, you know, and everyviewer and listener here, and I
think sometimes we don't letthat in, you know, because we
were actually a part of her, ofhim, right, we are an emanation
of him, her, and where we sopart of this daily practice is
letting that in feeling sounbelievably love, and then
(13:54):
what's natural is, it'sreciprocal of, we just love it
right back of.
And I love you.
You know, I love life, I lovewhat you've given me, I love my
family, I love humanities team.
As you mentioned, we're now thelargest global nonprofit in the
world, with we're translating in75 languages are masterclasses.
So what I was led to, so what Ifind, then, in my daily
(14:16):
practices I'm going through thisprocess, in this attunement, in
this place of connection, inthis place of guidance, in this
place of support for my journey,that those questions disappear.
It's actually, I'm given a veryeasy, very simple unfoldment in
terms of what this day is andthen the next day is in the day
(14:39):
after that, it's the wisdomcenter of my soul that I operate
from.
I didn't try and do that.
It's just what happened for meon the journey where I just
dropped from logic center ofbrain.
I was an ENTJ in Silicon Valley.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
What's that?
What's an ENTJ?
What's that?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
So, briefly, entjs are a lot of the leaders of
business in today's world underMyers Briggs test out that way.
Entjs are big planners.
They walk around with a dailyplanner.
You know where all theiractions are there of.
Okay, I'm going to say talk toyou.
These are the 20 things I'mgoing to talk to you about.
They script their lives tocontrol.
(15:17):
You know everything.
I threw out my day planner backin the 90s.
We don't have time to get intothat story.
I threw it out because Irealized this is not.
I cannot be on the consciousjourney where I'm going to open
my heart to somebody and they'regoing to open their heart to me
and I'm going to operate from.
You know the 15 things thatthey need to do.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
So what I noticed, steve, this is really
interesting.
So you were high levels oflogic back in Silicon Valley and
this is really interestingbecause a lot of the world,
particularly in business andthere's no, I'm not pointing
anything is here.
This is just what I observe.
These are the patterns Iobserve, like I'm a pattern
breaker.
I notice patterns and whenthey're positive, I'm like, well
(16:02):
, let's encourage and reinforcethat.
And when they're a bit like,hmm, we could change that.
This is what I do with myexclusive clients I was like,
look, we need to change thatpattern because that is causing
you a story that's not servingyou.
But what I've noticed with yourpatterns, steve, was you are
highly in the logic brain leftside brain and not in the heart.
That is where your sufferingstarted to happen, because
(16:24):
you're all about the mind ratherthan the heart, and when you
end up having a suffering, youfeel the pain.
Where do you feel it?
Usually feel it in the heart,right?
So it helps you awaken torealize that the heart is a
brain as well.
It's not just up here, andthere's a third brain as well,
which is in your gut, which isyour gut instinct, right?
(16:45):
This is what the Aboriginestalk about and it's fascinating
these three brains.
Right, you need all of thesethree and you need to be
awakened to all of these three.
And if you're not awakened inone of them, don't worry, you'll
get a wake up.
And it sounds like you had thewake up to move from the brain
in your mind or should I say thebrain in your head, because
(17:05):
your mind is everywhere and intothe heart.
Steve, does that resonate withyou, that sort of understanding?
And then now you know, itsounds like you're properly
living in your heart.
A lot, right.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, yeah, so this naturally happened.
I love this.
I want to actually go a littledeeper into this because this
gets into.
For somebody listening it'slike, okay, you know,
interesting that this happenedto Steve, but what does it have
to do with me?
You know?
Why?
Should I care, right?
So I want to.
I want to actually and andengage this a little more
because this is so important.
So what I found when I wasliving I'm gonna call it not
(17:41):
conscious of this whole whatquantum physics is saying?
You know that there's a superorganism, that I'm a part of it,
that I'm one with humankind inthe earth.
So before, in that, where I wasmore unconscious, we're in that
separated self-world.
From the time we wake up on thepillow, we're separate itself
of what do me, what am I gonnado here and I gonna do there?
(18:02):
And me, me, me, me, me.
The separated self thing where Ifind that there's often a sense
of overwhelm, of fatigue.
Just think about this intoday's world and think about
friends and workers, friendsthat you know, weary, grief,
sadness, anger, disempowerment,anxiety, sometimes worse than
that.
So all of these things aregoing on.
(18:25):
Also notice this.
This is one you might need tosit with for a little bit.
Notice how Incrediblytransactional everything is when
you're an object, so a boss istalking to you as an object.
Did you get these things done,even with your spouse and homes?
You know I'm gonna do thesethings today.
Are you gonna do those thingstoday?
You know I'm with neighbors andin the grocery store and some
(18:47):
and so on, where everybody istreated like an object.
Now what I find is I've sat withthis is that I think we've
grown numb to that.
We just it's just normal for usit's normal to be an object in
a transactional world.
But it's painful actually, youknow, which is kind of what you
were bringing in logic center ofthe mind, where we understand.
(19:07):
You know we're not objects,we're here on an eternal journey
.
The whole reason we were borninto this world Was as part of
the superorganism, to where ourfirst impulse is to open our
heart and be in service To theworld around us, especially now
where there are so manychallenges individually and
collectively.
So what naturally happened forme during this conscious journey
(19:30):
was leaving that painful worldat transactional, isolated Etc
and just dropping down into myheart space, as you mentioned,
where now it's completelydifferent, is even better then.
Relational, where you know, alot of times couples will say
the guy is transactional, thewoman says I want it more.
Relational, where you're Atleast looking at each other more
(19:52):
, connecting more.
So what we're talking abouthere, in conscious journey, it's
over further in this valuedirection, from relational it's,
it's divine presence, I call it.
Where we're not objects, we'reactually on an everlasting,
eternal journey.
We're here and in support oflife around us, with what the
(20:14):
things that we're called to do.
That's a loving place, that'san in service place, that's an
open-hearted place, that's anhonest place, that's a listening
place.
I could go on.
It's beautiful, it's delicious.
So what's interesting?
This is going to come backaround to that book and the
story, because I kind of got toSilicon Valley, didn't go all
the way out from there which wasthe bookstore.
(20:35):
A new universal dream is inthis conscious living.
Then we find it.
You know, I didn't find it onthe upper upper part of the
ladder there in that wholeluxury world, but I did find it
here in this whole consciousliving thing, this delicious way
of living where you are part ofthis whole lifestyle that I
(20:56):
just described.
It's so beautiful that you cancreate.
You can create a consciousculture in your organization, as
I have with humanity's team andactually, as I reflect back on
the 90s, to have a term backthen of conscious leadership or
conscious business.
But the reason I was sosuccessful, james, is
intuitively.
I knew that, which is why Ithrew my day planner out.
(21:20):
I knew that these practices ofjust opening my heart, really
connecting with people in asacred way and customers,
employees, vendors, even youknow everybody that this was
gonna serve me and serve theorganization and sure enough,
that's how we got that amazinggrowth as we created a culture
like that.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah.
So, steve, you know I've got toask you what are your practices
then?
So if you are a blue collarworker or white collar worker
number one, why would they careabout this type of living?
Because you know it seems a bitunusual.
Why would you throw your dayplanner out?
I've got to go to work.
I've got to go to job.
I have to put food on the table.
(21:59):
I've got to make money.
I've got to support myself andmy spouse, or even I'm just
trying to grow from where I amand maybe start a new business.
You know, this is kind of a bitof a radical way of living,
going oh, I'll just drop into myheart and everything's gonna be
okay.
You know, there's a level oftrust there that needs to be
palpable for the everyday humanbeing.
(22:23):
I mean for me and my story, theonly way I can say it is like,
you know, I had my boat reallyrocked, so I was like look, you
know, that is my experience.
It's not everybody else'sexperience and someone might not
have had as severe experiencesperhaps you or I, but they might
have had a milder experienceYet.
(22:44):
For me, dropping into the heart, I'm not saying I'm there all
the time, but I'm there quite alot of the time because I really
do care, which is why I runthis show and help my clients
improve the quality of theirlives.
But and I absolutely love it andI feel cool to do it, and I was
doing it even when I was onmodeling sets and shoots the
(23:05):
whole for the last 20 years Iwas like behind the scenes.
That's what I was kind of doing.
I thought maybe this should bea career, maybe I'm getting
pushed in this direction.
I seem to be very good withpeople and I feel I seem to be
quite blessed with saying theright thing at the right time to
the right people, but noteverybody's there, steve.
So what I'm trying to say isthat how can we what you're
(23:28):
saying be?
I know you're trying to marketit, but I'm trying to say market
with heart.
How do you say market to getinto the heart is the way
forward for us as human beings,right?
If you are just kind of on atrajectory, trying to start a
new business, why would you wantto drop out of your logic and
get into the heart?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, so one of the stories I tell James you might
remember this in the book it's aguy named Ken Behring, so
Billionaire actually.
I had an opportunity to workwith his organization.
He had all the stuff.
He actually passed away maybethree or four years ago, but he
even had an NFL team, theSeattle Seahawks in the United
States.
He had the 150 old cars, he hadthe huge mansion, he had a 737
(24:19):
size private jet.
I mean, he had all the stuff.
Now, interestingly, I gotinvolved because he later in his
life started doing a lot ofphilanthropy, started a
wheelchair foundation and doingeducation.
That was transformational andstuff.
So that's how I got involvedwith him.
But his story was, he said,with all of those goodies, the
hedonistic thing he said Ididn't find it.
(24:41):
He said until in his case itwas after age 70.
He said I just had the stuffand it wasn't ringing the bell,
I wasn't finding it.
And it was only when he startedhis wheelchair foundation where
he was given away.
He would use that jet to flyaround the world with friends to
(25:02):
give away wheelchairs all overthe world.
It was only when he got in deepinto his philanthropy that he
says I finally found it.
I finally found it.
So here's the thing is Ibelieve and quantum physics is
sharing this is true that peoplearen't the mayor with all of
the quantum physics.
We have free programs on thehumanities team site,
humanitiesteamorg, with thescientists Greg Braden, sam
(25:24):
Harriman Lynn.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
McTach, amazing, amazing guys, and we'll have all
the links in the column so youcan make sure you can follow all
those links if you're listeningin Free programs, free programs
, so go through them.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
And what it says is that we're actually designed.
Here's the thing the SamHarriman says you are sovereign
to one body, the super organismcalled universe, called cosmos.
You're sovereign to it.
Usually we hear the termsovereign with a country.
Right, the country is sovereign.
He's saying we're sovereign,which means that we're
inseparable from the cosmos anduniverse.
(25:55):
They can't be without us.
He goes further and then hesounds like a preacher and says
you know, so you should haveunbelievable posture, you should
feel incredible about yourself,you should feel so empowered
because the universe cannot bewithout you, right?
So we're actually designed in.
The scientists are sharing and,of course, the mystics have
shared this down to Hippocratesand Plato on 500 BCE.
(26:18):
2500 years I've been sharing.
We're designed as part of thesuper organism, this one life.
So just try.
It is what I would tell viewersand listeners is just try it.
Try for 24 hours, opening yourheart a little more, being in
service a little more, seeingsacred out there a little more.
Try in your daily practice justsaying, hey, what am I guided
(26:40):
to do here?
You know, and can I get closeto you and feel a relationship
with you?
If you ask these questions, askfor guidance, ask for support.
You will get it, and what youusually get is vision first,
like you did for the radio showhere.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I didn't get a vision .
I didn't get a vision.
I'm kind of like I feel itright.
So my story is again quitehumorous and I find that the
universe you know, I grew up aCatholic and I say God when I'm
a bit scared.
But other than that I will sayuniverse, right, more life,
doesn't matter what the word is,but you can't name the
unnameable, as they say in thetowel.
(27:16):
But I had an idea to do this along time ago and I didn't do it
.
So what I did was I kept ongoing and then, you know, things
happened, not much, and I waslike ah, then one day I was
swimming in the pool and I gotbanged on the head because I hit
(27:37):
my head on the pool, right onmy third eye, right here you
can't see any scar and I justknew I was like that.
That means you're gonna start.
That means because I knew thatthat was hey, son, are you
listening to me?
Because I've been telling youto do this and you've not been
listening.
And I have to say I'm a bit of arebellious.
You know, I've been veryrebellious about following this
(28:01):
spiritual path.
I didn't even wanna give updrinking.
I didn't wanna change my diet.
I didn't wanna do anything.
I was like I'm not interested.
Even after that car crash I waslike I'm not doing this, steve.
So, you know, here's a guy whowas reluctant.
You know I call it thereluctant spiritual, uh, human
being.
And yet it's still comforted me, still, you know, talk to me, I
(28:26):
put, still looked after me,still give me abundance of money
, still give me radiant health.
It's still giving me lovingrelationships and yet it's still
giving me challenges to weavemyself through and glide myself
through, to keep moving forward,to keep helping people, to keep
uplifting people, to keepsaying, hey, whatever, it is
(28:49):
gonna be alright, and I don'tmind that there are challenges,
but I do mind that if I don'tshow up and I think that that's,
you know for me it's justshowing up.
I'll just show up every day andeven though I don't know what's
gonna happen, steve, I'm justgonna show up.
So you showed up into my, myworld.
I'm super grateful you've beenon this show and I just wanted
(29:12):
to ask a practice.
I know you mentioned thepractice of.
You know, just ask the question.
But what's your practice forgetting into the heart, because
it's different for other people,you know, for me.
Getting into meditation orputting my hand on my heart is a
good practice for me to get outmy head and start thinking here
, cuz I know there's a co here.
When you get the heart brain cohere is something magnificent.
(29:35):
What steve's practice, and whatwould you say to the audience
is a great way for them to tuneinto their heart?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Okay, I was like jump into that.
I want to just say you are yousaid earlier in the program,
change.
You said, you know, go frombeing a model in front of the
camera to a soul model like andyou are that, I mean so
beautiful the way you describethat of.
Well, you know, you just do itand you show up and you push
yourself and it's stillchallenging.
Thank you.
I mean, you're putting words towhat I think your viewers are
(30:03):
experiencing.
So, and this is what it's aboutat some point.
I think what I found for me onthe journey is we kind of go,
you know, hit warp speed, boom,you know, we just start.
We really go where where thedivine is saying, okay, now
we're gonna really use you.
You know that we have to wantthat as a part of the journey,
but if we want it, then it'skind of bumpy, start and that
(30:27):
fly through turbulence and atsome point, boom, you know, warp
speed, where we're gonna beused to our fullest.
And I think you are now james,so now to practice.
So Practice is has been changed, has changed for me, as you
might imagine, over the years,from really basic stuff of just
are you there and I and you knowI feel your love and I love you
(30:48):
back to now.
Now it's intentional, ametaphysical.
Let me describe what I mean bythat.
So the intentional is the push.
So the intentional is I'mliving my life for this.
Where I see this One is thisdiversity in unity, this
conscious living, this newspirituality emerging on the
earth.
So, and every day, you know, Iget up, this is why I'm here, so
(31:10):
I'm pushed in that direction.
This is my intention is like arudder on a boat, right as your
On that boat moving forward.
Now metaphysics is the pole.
So metaphysics, incidentally,conversations with God, which we
reference.
There's a nine series of books.
Neil donal wash and and gotherself read the wisdom.
It's amazing.
(31:30):
So says metaphysics is theLynch pen, the lynchpin of the
universe.
Now you're gonna have to sitwith that one to really really
let that one in.
I did, but that means that it'sthe whole life and civilization
is based on metaphysics.
(31:51):
Is what that means.
Okay, so, in metaphysics, thanwhat I do with my daily
practices, I do believe, as themystic shared down through the
ages, as a shared inconversations with God is, the
scientists now are sharing thatthis one, this is emerging on
the earth.
This diversity in unity, thisomnipresence, the sense of super
organism, this divinity isemerging on the earth.
(32:13):
So in my daily practice I'mgoing to that place where I see
it, feel it, taste it, touch it.
I know it's here, that has beencreated Before you and and and
it's maybe not in its full issuewhen I pass, when I physical
body passes, but we're well intoit.
So I go to that place and andand.
Then I carry that energy liketo this program and throughout
(32:36):
my day, where it's, in a sense,it's happened, it's happened,
it's pulling me, so, where itwere, actually creating
something, where we're in themetaphysics of this this is why
it's the lynchpin of theuniverse, where it's a very
powerful form of co creation,where we actually go out into
the future, where it's beencreated and then we're devoting
(32:56):
our lives to that whole creationprocess.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Totally.
I mean, I feel like that's whatI'm doing with my work as well.
I think this is what I'm gonnado, this is my vision, and I
show up and I live it, addresslike it and I behave like it and
I talk like it and I eat likeit and I talk to the people like
it, and it's a very different,intentional way of living and I
think what you and neil havecreated is absolutely phenomenal
(33:22):
and you are A soul model inyour own right and I'm
absolutely in awe of what youguys have been creating.
For, you know, two decades now Imean, I only woke up two
decades ago when this time, youknow it's only in the last four
and a half years I feel likeI've really been, you know,
trying to try to put my inputback in, because you realize how
(33:44):
precious time is, how precioushuman life is and all sentient
being life is on this planet,and I always want to leave this
place, much like you, in a muchbetter place than I found it.
And I love what you're doingwith humanities team and help
people wake up to theinterconnectedness, and I think
that's really, really beautifulwhat you've been doing.
(34:06):
So I just wanna say, steve,thank you so much For being on
the show today, and is thereanything else that you would
like to share with the audienceat all?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yeah.
So thank you for having me,james.
I really appreciate it and Iwould just my invitation to the
audience is boy, you know, trythis daily practice thing, james
.
What you and I are discussing,just open up, maybe in a bigger
way, stretch into it.
Just try and try and receiveyourself as as a son or daughter
of the most high, because everysingle person listening is that
(34:38):
, nothing less than that.
You are that and that alone.
If we can let that in, thatself image, that self
realization, that selfactualization, it's huge, it
just will.
Your whole life will shift in abeautiful direction.
And that's that's the bigconscious journey right now is
Assisting people, justespecially in the early part of
(35:00):
that journey where they feellike it's too big, it's too
impossible to challenging.
You know, not sure it's gonnawork for my family, we gotta.
That's where people really needhelp is to get through those,
that area where all thosestabilizers on you know what?
Speaker 1 (35:14):
the stabilizers on the bicycle, right, you know you
can.
I just wanna show you that,even though you're gonna shake a
bit, don't worry, we got you.
We got you right there you goessentially, yeah, essentially
just waking ourselves up, rightgodspeed to you.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Keep it going.
And you know we gotta Gottahelp people get through.
That's not nice.
That bicycle metaphor, you knowwhere were those little little
wheels there that are kind ofhelping to get the thing gliding
as it's getting started?
That's the, that's the keything that's needed right now.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Just like to say in closing thank you so much to

In this week's show I'm speaking to somebody who's
had the pinnacle of success inSilicon Valley and yet decided
to pivot and co-create a globalnon-profit helping people awake
into our interconnectedness.
This week I'm speaking toauthor Steve Farrell.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is determining that we are actually putting
energy out into a universe, intoa cosmos, and it's like
throwing a pebble into a lake,where there's an expansion of
that energy, of that action outinto the universe that we
actually are all deeplyconnected, as the physicists in
(00:46):
particular quantum physicistsare sharing.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Hello and welcome to the James Grimes from Podcast
SuperSoul Model Series, where Ihelp people tune and tap into
their natural state ofwell-being.
This week, on this episode, weare blessed to have Steve
Farrell.
Steve is a very interestingcharacter in human being because
we're going to be talking aboutconscious living and leadership
.
Steve's journey takes us fromthe pinnacles of success in
(01:12):
Silicon Valley all the way toco-founding humanity's team with
Neil Donald Walsh, which is aglobal non-profit, and it's
helping people awake into ourinterconnectedness.
Steve's got a fantastic newbook out called A New Universal
Dream, which we're going to betalking about.
But without further ado, let'swelcome this week's guest, Steve
Farrell.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
James, thank you so much for the generous
introduction.
I'm excited to be here andlooking forward to diving in
with you.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Let's do that, steve.
So, steve, you've written thisnew book and it's called A New
Universal Dream.
Tell us a little bit how thisnew book came about.
What inspired you?
Because you've been in SiliconValley, you've had great success
there and this is a verydifferent type of book from the
success that maybe you've had inother areas of business in
Silicon Valley.
(02:00):
So what inspired you to thisbook, a New Universal Dream?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, so thanks, james.
The book is a true story of my50-year journey from age 12 to
all the way to today, and itpicks up starts with me living
with a divorced mom, sixbrothers and sisters, in a very
small home on the East Coast1200 square feet, so probably a
lot of your viewers can relate.
(02:26):
And then, after college, movingout to Northern California, to
Silicon Valley, finding myselfin the right place at the right
time as I'm starting sometechnology companies, and the
first company went to 75 millionin 10 years.
We started out just two guysused furniture, very small and
(02:47):
expensive executive suite, andthen inside of that company we
birthed a second company that wetook to 75 million in two years
.
It was Venture Capital Back, soI was one of those that was
able to climb into that upperrung of what they call the
American Dream, where you've gotthe fame and fortune and the
(03:09):
private jets and all of thosekinds of things, and so I've had
full visibility to that.
Now the surprising thing, james, is that it wasn't at all what
I expected it was a land of ingeneral it's a little dangerous
to talk generally but of wantingmore and prioritizing more, so
(03:31):
that's going to put a lot ofpressure on relationships with
your spouse, your kids, yourbest friends, your coworkers, et
cetera, because you're workingthat money machine, that top
line and bottom line growth.
And even in the 90s when thiswas going on, there were huge
challenges in the world then,much like today actually.
(03:52):
You could see global warming,extreme weather, there were wars
and things, and I realized thatI was playing a kids game in a
sense, growing these companiestop line and bottom line as the
CEO and chairman of thesecompanies.
And I knew that there was moreand I went through my own
personal awakening experiencethere in the mid 90s.
(04:12):
You mentioned Neil Donald Walsh, who founded then Humanities
Team, this 501c3 nonprofit thatI've been leading for the last
20 years, and so in the midst ofthat journey I could see that I
lost my passion for justbusiness top line, bottom line.
(04:34):
I sold all of these things.
I left these businessassociations.
Then for two years I actuallydidn't have anything substantial
to do because it was two yearsbefore Neil and I started
Humanities Team.
So it was a lot of realmeditation and feeling in and
all I knew was that there was aspiritual journey that I would
(04:54):
participate in, where I would beof some assistance where I
would be the reason that I wasborn into this life not, and
that the Silicon Valleyexperience was just to provide
the tools.
In a sense, it was like aspiritual gem.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Sure, what was the pivotal moment for you?
There must have been a pivotalmoment where it was like, okay,
I'm experiencing this outwardsuccess that a lot of people are
trying to reach, but what wasthe pivotal moment where you
were like, okay, this isn't whatI thought it was.
It's not to say that you can'thave that or that's not great
(05:30):
for you, but it wasn't great forSteve where he was at.
That's what I'm trying to getto, because that's the there's
something inside of you thatmoves to go.
I don't know if this is agreeingwith me anymore, or at least
the way I'm showing up in theworld, because you must have had
a question that goessomething's not quite right or
the finger I haven't quite gotthe finger right because you
(05:52):
were so successful with settingup those two companies and
getting to 75 million so quickly, which in some businesses most
99 businesses fail within thefirst three years and you turned
over 75 million in two in thesecond company.
So what's the pivotal momentfor Steve Farrell that just went
.
Do you know what?
(06:12):
I know I'm very good at this,but this isn't quite right for
me.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
So yeah, so it was a moment actually in my townhouse
in Marin County in NorthernCalifornia, there in the 90s,
where I had done this homework,this research, I'd educated
myself on this whole what wecall conscious living, which is
this whole Universalconsciousness animating all of
life is one way of expressing it.
Most of us probably yourlisteners have had their own
(06:38):
personal awakening experience.
It's dramatically influencedthem.
I did as well.
So the moment came there in thelate 90s, where I was sitting
in my townhouse and I said I'mnot gonna be plant two feet in
different worlds one where I'mJoe and Linda's son, one body,
(07:00):
one life to live.
I'll go five feet under at theend of this life, or I'm the son
of the most hot, as we all are.
That were emanations of the onethat there's a, there is a
universal Consciousnessanimating all of life that I was
actually sent here by that one,as you were, james, as your
viewers were, which means I havethe properties of the one, I
(07:22):
have everlasting life, I haveunlimited potential, all of
those things.
So I wasn't gonna be Psychoticwith trying to live in in two
very different understandings.
I I understood that night thatmy truth was the second one that
(07:42):
my parents had delivered me tothe world.
They were like the airportterminal that delivered my body
to the world, but I actuallycame from source, from the
divine, from God.
You could usually were in itsuniverse and Cosmos as well.
These terms are interchangeable, but in and and I'm here at
this time when we're in thisgreat shift of the ages, right,
(08:02):
we're all this huge pettit isgoing on right now.
We're looking out on the worldand they, we've got climate
change and extreme weather andwe've got wars and and we've got
Polarity and in all over theplace and politics, but more
than that and what we could.
I didn't actually understandthis fully then when I made that
(08:25):
decision to live into thissecond Self, this true self.
But what I've come to understand, james, is that there's
actually no such thing.
This might this might be kindof jaw-dropping, but if you sit
with this, I think you mightfind it's true that there's
actually no such thing, that itis a fiction that there's even
(08:46):
such a thing as a separated self.
There's, there's no, there's nosuch thing as Steve Farrell and
a body separated from thecosmos and universe and world
around me.
And if you're reading currentscience, like popular mechanics
just had a Article out.
Apple news picked it up andwhich this is a mainstream
publication.
It said oh my gosh, sciences isdetermining that we're actually
(09:10):
putting energy out into auniverse, into a cosmos, and
it's like a throwing a pebbleinto a lake where there's an
expansion of that energy, ofthat Action out into the
universe that we actually areall deeply connected, as the
Physicists, in particularquantum physicists, are sharing
(09:32):
today.
So so that was the pivotalmoment when I said I'm this and
I'm not that, and the groundshifted under me, that this, the
my worldview shifted.
I'm looking at the sacred, notjust an object, when I'm looking
at people in the earth, and mylife dramatically changed from
that moment on.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Wow I mean to have.
That insight is big, and youknow anybody who's listening
there's usually a suffering thatcalls to awakening.
It's not always a suffering,but in my case it was.
You know like.
I had a car crash and I waslike, wow, I'm here for a reason
, and you know my I've told thismany a time to my audience, and
the audience, and you know Iwas like that made me look at
(10:13):
life differently, because Ishouldn't technically be here.
You know, there is no way Ishould be here yet alone, wake
up outside a car, consciously,with nothing on my face.
Like you know, I feel thatdivine Intervention took place
that evening when I was 19, andI've got so many people to thank
(10:36):
for that, physically andnon-physically, that has just
said right, give him another go.
And Whilst I'm still a flawedcharacter and whilst I'm not
perfect, I Did change the way Ithought about the world and
perceived it.
So, you know, however we turn upin the world whoever's
(10:56):
listening you know there issomething going on underneath
the current.
There's something going onunderneath that ocean of
consciousness that's moving usand guiding us, and I love the
way you put that.
You know when you were sayingthat with regards to, you know
you'll wake up called frommoving from like the Normal way
of living to the sacred way ofliving.
(11:18):
So in your book, you know youtalk about like the priorities.
You know what are thepriorities that we need as human
beings, because you know weneed to go about our day, we
need to function.
You know how can we step in thesacred world, as you talk about
it, yet still live in the realworld.
(11:40):
You know we kind of like haveto participate in this world.
We can't.
You know it's not about, like,being airy-fair, it's about
having your feet on the groundyet still be grounded in this
Understanding, be undergroundunderstanding, in this knowing.
Say, how would one have theirpriorities, you know, in place?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well, first let me say what that's a beautiful
story.
I hadn't heard your personalstory, james and boy.
There's no question but thatthe divine slash universe is
using you.
So that that is beautiful.
Now, as to your question, it'sactually much, much easier than
we think.
You know, when I was livingfrom the I'll call it the logic
(12:23):
center of my mind, then I wouldsay I would see the complexity,
the questions, the challenges,that different from the Various
options, all of these thingsPart of for me being on this
conscious journey, this oneness,this omnipresence, this divine
presence, this divinity, part ofit in my daily practice, is
where I'm attuning to connectingwith the divine, her slash, his
(12:48):
self, where I am in that placeof connection as an emanation of
the one, where I can actuallyfeel his energy, her energy.
I can feel what I am to do.
From my station in life, I'mguided actually to the things
each day that I'm to do, as Iconsider myself the arms and
(13:08):
legs and lungs of her, of him.
That's what I've said I want todo with my life is you.
There's a lot that needs to bedone.
Work through me.
You know I can't do everything,but everybody can do something.
So, from my station in life.
What are the things that I amto do?
And one I feel an unbelievablelove for myself and,
incidentally, for every I feellike James for you is the extent
(13:33):
to which God loves you.
Oh, my God, you know, and everyviewer and listener here, and I
think sometimes we don't letthat in, you know, because we
were actually a part of her, ofhim, right, we are an emanation
of him, her, and where we sopart of this daily practice is
letting that in feeling sounbelievably love, and then
(13:54):
what's natural is, it'sreciprocal of, we just love it
right back of.
And I love you.
You know, I love life, I lovewhat you've given me, I love my
family, I love humanities team.
As you mentioned, we're now thelargest global nonprofit in the
world, with we're translating in75 languages are masterclasses.
So what I was led to, so what Ifind, then, in my daily
(14:16):
practices I'm going through thisprocess, in this attunement, in
this place of connection, inthis place of guidance, in this
place of support for my journey,that those questions disappear.
It's actually, I'm given a veryeasy, very simple unfoldment in
terms of what this day is andthen the next day is in the day
(14:39):
after that, it's the wisdomcenter of my soul that I operate
from.
I didn't try and do that.
It's just what happened for meon the journey where I just
dropped from logic center ofbrain.
I was an ENTJ in Silicon Valley.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
What's that?
What's an ENTJ?
What's that?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
So, briefly, entjs are a lot of the leaders of
business in today's world underMyers Briggs test out that way.
Entjs are big planners.
They walk around with a dailyplanner.
You know where all theiractions are there of.
Okay, I'm going to say talk toyou.
These are the 20 things I'mgoing to talk to you about.
They script their lives tocontrol.
(15:17):
You know everything.
I threw out my day planner backin the 90s.
We don't have time to get intothat story.
I threw it out because Irealized this is not.
I cannot be on the consciousjourney where I'm going to open
my heart to somebody and they'regoing to open their heart to me
and I'm going to operate from.
You know the 15 things thatthey need to do.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
So what I noticed, steve, this is really
interesting.
So you were high levels oflogic back in Silicon Valley and
this is really interestingbecause a lot of the world,
particularly in business andthere's no, I'm not pointing
anything is here.
This is just what I observe.
These are the patterns Iobserve, like I'm a pattern
breaker.
I notice patterns and whenthey're positive, I'm like, well
(16:02):
, let's encourage and reinforcethat.
And when they're a bit like,hmm, we could change that.
This is what I do with myexclusive clients I was like,
look, we need to change thatpattern because that is causing
you a story that's not servingyou.
But what I've noticed with yourpatterns, steve, was you are
highly in the logic brain leftside brain and not in the heart.
That is where your sufferingstarted to happen, because
(16:24):
you're all about the mind ratherthan the heart, and when you
end up having a suffering, youfeel the pain.
Where do you feel it?
Usually feel it in the heart,right?
So it helps you awaken torealize that the heart is a
brain as well.
It's not just up here, andthere's a third brain as well,
which is in your gut, which isyour gut instinct, right?
(16:45):
This is what the Aboriginestalk about and it's fascinating
these three brains.
Right, you need all of thesethree and you need to be
awakened to all of these three.
And if you're not awakened inone of them, don't worry, you'll
get a wake up.
And it sounds like you had thewake up to move from the brain
in your mind or should I say thebrain in your head, because
(17:05):
your mind is everywhere and intothe heart.
Steve, does that resonate withyou, that sort of understanding?
And then now you know, itsounds like you're properly
living in your heart.
A lot, right.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, yeah, so this naturally happened.
I love this.
I want to actually go a littledeeper into this because this
gets into.
For somebody listening it'slike, okay, you know,
interesting that this happenedto Steve, but what does it have
to do with me?
You know?
Why?
Should I care, right?
So I want to.
I want to actually and andengage this a little more
because this is so important.
So what I found when I wasliving I'm gonna call it not
(17:41):
conscious of this whole whatquantum physics is saying?
You know that there's a superorganism, that I'm a part of it,
that I'm one with humankind inthe earth.
So before, in that, where I wasmore unconscious, we're in that
separated self-world.
From the time we wake up on thepillow, we're separate itself
of what do me, what am I gonnado here and I gonna do there?
(18:02):
And me, me, me, me, me.
The separated self thing where Ifind that there's often a sense
of overwhelm, of fatigue.
Just think about this intoday's world and think about
friends and workers, friendsthat you know, weary, grief,
sadness, anger, disempowerment,anxiety, sometimes worse than
that.
So all of these things aregoing on.
(18:25):
Also notice this.
This is one you might need tosit with for a little bit.
Notice how Incrediblytransactional everything is when
you're an object, so a boss istalking to you as an object.
Did you get these things done,even with your spouse and homes?
You know I'm gonna do thesethings today.
Are you gonna do those thingstoday?
You know I'm with neighbors andin the grocery store and some
(18:47):
and so on, where everybody istreated like an object.
Now what I find is I've sat withthis is that I think we've
grown numb to that.
We just it's just normal for usit's normal to be an object in
a transactional world.
But it's painful actually, youknow, which is kind of what you
were bringing in logic center ofthe mind, where we understand.
(19:07):
You know we're not objects,we're here on an eternal journey
.
The whole reason we were borninto this world Was as part of
the superorganism, to where ourfirst impulse is to open our
heart and be in service To theworld around us, especially now
where there are so manychallenges individually and
collectively.
So what naturally happened forme during this conscious journey
(19:30):
was leaving that painful worldat transactional, isolated Etc
and just dropping down into myheart space, as you mentioned,
where now it's completelydifferent, is even better then.
Relational, where you know, alot of times couples will say
the guy is transactional, thewoman says I want it more.
Relational, where you're Atleast looking at each other more
(19:52):
, connecting more.
So what we're talking abouthere, in conscious journey, it's
over further in this valuedirection, from relational it's,
it's divine presence, I call it.
Where we're not objects, we'reactually on an everlasting,
eternal journey.
We're here and in support oflife around us, with what the
(20:14):
things that we're called to do.
That's a loving place, that'san in service place, that's an
open-hearted place, that's anhonest place, that's a listening
place.
I could go on.
It's beautiful, it's delicious.
So what's interesting?
This is going to come backaround to that book and the
story, because I kind of got toSilicon Valley, didn't go all
the way out from there which wasthe bookstore.
(20:35):
A new universal dream is inthis conscious living.
Then we find it.
You know, I didn't find it onthe upper upper part of the
ladder there in that wholeluxury world, but I did find it
here in this whole consciousliving thing, this delicious way
of living where you are part ofthis whole lifestyle that I
(20:56):
just described.
It's so beautiful that you cancreate.
You can create a consciousculture in your organization, as
I have with humanity's team andactually, as I reflect back on
the 90s, to have a term backthen of conscious leadership or
conscious business.
But the reason I was sosuccessful, james, is
intuitively.
I knew that, which is why Ithrew my day planner out.
(21:20):
I knew that these practices ofjust opening my heart, really
connecting with people in asacred way and customers,
employees, vendors, even youknow everybody that this was
gonna serve me and serve theorganization and sure enough,
that's how we got that amazinggrowth as we created a culture
like that.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah.
So, steve, you know I've got toask you what are your practices
then?
So if you are a blue collarworker or white collar worker
number one, why would they careabout this type of living?
Because you know it seems a bitunusual.
Why would you throw your dayplanner out?
I've got to go to work.
I've got to go to job.
I have to put food on the table.
(21:59):
I've got to make money.
I've got to support myself andmy spouse, or even I'm just
trying to grow from where I amand maybe start a new business.
You know, this is kind of a bitof a radical way of living,
going oh, I'll just drop into myheart and everything's gonna be
okay.
You know, there's a level oftrust there that needs to be
palpable for the everyday humanbeing.
(22:23):
I mean for me and my story, theonly way I can say it is like,
you know, I had my boat reallyrocked, so I was like look, you
know, that is my experience.
It's not everybody else'sexperience and someone might not
have had as severe experiencesperhaps you or I, but they might
have had a milder experienceYet.
(22:44):
For me, dropping into the heart, I'm not saying I'm there all
the time, but I'm there quite alot of the time because I really
do care, which is why I runthis show and help my clients
improve the quality of theirlives.
But and I absolutely love it andI feel cool to do it, and I was
doing it even when I was onmodeling sets and shoots the
(23:05):
whole for the last 20 years Iwas like behind the scenes.
That's what I was kind of doing.
I thought maybe this should bea career, maybe I'm getting
pushed in this direction.
I seem to be very good withpeople and I feel I seem to be
quite blessed with saying theright thing at the right time to
the right people, but noteverybody's there, steve.
So what I'm trying to say isthat how can we what you're
(23:28):
saying be?
I know you're trying to marketit, but I'm trying to say market
with heart.
How do you say market to getinto the heart is the way
forward for us as human beings,right?
If you are just kind of on atrajectory, trying to start a
new business, why would you wantto drop out of your logic and
get into the heart?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, so one of the stories I tell James you might
remember this in the book it's aguy named Ken Behring, so
Billionaire actually.
I had an opportunity to workwith his organization.
He had all the stuff.
He actually passed away maybethree or four years ago, but he
even had an NFL team, theSeattle Seahawks in the United
States.
He had the 150 old cars, he hadthe huge mansion, he had a 737
(24:19):
size private jet.
I mean, he had all the stuff.
Now, interestingly, I gotinvolved because he later in his
life started doing a lot ofphilanthropy, started a
wheelchair foundation and doingeducation.
That was transformational andstuff.
So that's how I got involvedwith him.
But his story was, he said,with all of those goodies, the
hedonistic thing he said Ididn't find it.
(24:41):
He said until in his case itwas after age 70.
He said I just had the stuffand it wasn't ringing the bell,
I wasn't finding it.
And it was only when he startedhis wheelchair foundation where
he was given away.
He would use that jet to flyaround the world with friends to
(25:02):
give away wheelchairs all overthe world.
It was only when he got in deepinto his philanthropy that he
says I finally found it.
I finally found it.
So here's the thing is Ibelieve and quantum physics is
sharing this is true that peoplearen't the mayor with all of
the quantum physics.
We have free programs on thehumanities team site,
humanitiesteamorg, with thescientists Greg Braden, sam
(25:24):
Harriman Lynn.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
McTach, amazing, amazing guys, and we'll have all
the links in the column so youcan make sure you can follow all
those links if you're listeningin Free programs, free programs
, so go through them.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
And what it says is that we're actually designed.
Here's the thing the SamHarriman says you are sovereign
to one body, the super organismcalled universe, called cosmos.
You're sovereign to it.
Usually we hear the termsovereign with a country.
Right, the country is sovereign.
He's saying we're sovereign,which means that we're
inseparable from the cosmos anduniverse.
(25:55):
They can't be without us.
He goes further and then hesounds like a preacher and says
you know, so you should haveunbelievable posture, you should
feel incredible about yourself,you should feel so empowered
because the universe cannot bewithout you, right?
So we're actually designed in.
The scientists are sharing and,of course, the mystics have
shared this down to Hippocratesand Plato on 500 BCE.
(26:18):
2500 years I've been sharing.
We're designed as part of thesuper organism, this one life.
So just try.
It is what I would tell viewersand listeners is just try it.
Try for 24 hours, opening yourheart a little more, being in
service a little more, seeingsacred out there a little more.
Try in your daily practice justsaying, hey, what am I guided
(26:40):
to do here?
You know, and can I get closeto you and feel a relationship
with you?
If you ask these questions, askfor guidance, ask for support.
You will get it, and what youusually get is vision first,
like you did for the radio showhere.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I didn't get a vision .
I didn't get a vision.
I'm kind of like I feel itright.
So my story is again quitehumorous and I find that the
universe you know, I grew up aCatholic and I say God when I'm
a bit scared.
But other than that I will sayuniverse, right, more life,
doesn't matter what the word is,but you can't name the
unnameable, as they say in thetowel.
(27:16):
But I had an idea to do this along time ago and I didn't do it
.
So what I did was I kept ongoing and then, you know, things
happened, not much, and I waslike ah, then one day I was
swimming in the pool and I gotbanged on the head because I hit
(27:37):
my head on the pool, right onmy third eye, right here you
can't see any scar and I justknew I was like that.
That means you're gonna start.
That means because I knew thatthat was hey, son, are you
listening to me?
Because I've been telling youto do this and you've not been
listening.
And I have to say I'm a bit of arebellious.
You know, I've been veryrebellious about following this
(28:01):
spiritual path.
I didn't even wanna give updrinking.
I didn't wanna change my diet.
I didn't wanna do anything.
I was like I'm not interested.
Even after that car crash I waslike I'm not doing this, steve.
So, you know, here's a guy whowas reluctant.
You know I call it thereluctant spiritual, uh, human
being.
And yet it's still comforted me, still, you know, talk to me, I
(28:26):
put, still looked after me,still give me abundance of money
, still give me radiant health.
It's still giving me lovingrelationships and yet it's still
giving me challenges to weavemyself through and glide myself
through, to keep moving forward,to keep helping people, to keep
uplifting people, to keepsaying, hey, whatever, it is
(28:49):
gonna be alright, and I don'tmind that there are challenges,
but I do mind that if I don'tshow up and I think that that's,
you know for me it's justshowing up.
I'll just show up every day andeven though I don't know what's
gonna happen, steve, I'm justgonna show up.
So you showed up into my, myworld.
I'm super grateful you've beenon this show and I just wanted
(29:12):
to ask a practice.
I know you mentioned thepractice of.
You know, just ask the question.
But what's your practice forgetting into the heart, because
it's different for other people,you know, for me.
Getting into meditation orputting my hand on my heart is a
good practice for me to get outmy head and start thinking here
, cuz I know there's a co here.
When you get the heart brain cohere is something magnificent.
(29:35):
What steve's practice, and whatwould you say to the audience
is a great way for them to tuneinto their heart?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Okay, I was like jump into that.
I want to just say you are yousaid earlier in the program,
change.
You said, you know, go frombeing a model in front of the
camera to a soul model like andyou are that, I mean so
beautiful the way you describethat of.
Well, you know, you just do itand you show up and you push
yourself and it's stillchallenging.
Thank you.
I mean, you're putting words towhat I think your viewers are
(30:03):
experiencing.
So, and this is what it's aboutat some point.
I think what I found for me onthe journey is we kind of go,
you know, hit warp speed, boom,you know, we just start.
We really go where where thedivine is saying, okay, now
we're gonna really use you.
You know that we have to wantthat as a part of the journey,
but if we want it, then it'skind of bumpy, start and that
(30:27):
fly through turbulence and atsome point, boom, you know, warp
speed, where we're gonna beused to our fullest.
And I think you are now james,so now to practice.
So Practice is has been changed, has changed for me, as you
might imagine, over the years,from really basic stuff of just
are you there and I and you knowI feel your love and I love you
(30:48):
back to now.
Now it's intentional, ametaphysical.
Let me describe what I mean bythat.
So the intentional is the push.
So the intentional is I'mliving my life for this.
Where I see this One is thisdiversity in unity, this
conscious living, this newspirituality emerging on the
earth.
So, and every day, you know, Iget up, this is why I'm here, so
(31:10):
I'm pushed in that direction.
This is my intention is like arudder on a boat, right as your
On that boat moving forward.
Now metaphysics is the pole.
So metaphysics, incidentally,conversations with God, which we
reference.
There's a nine series of books.
Neil donal wash and and gotherself read the wisdom.
It's amazing.
(31:30):
So says metaphysics is theLynch pen, the lynchpin of the
universe.
Now you're gonna have to sitwith that one to really really
let that one in.
I did, but that means that it'sthe whole life and civilization
is based on metaphysics.
(31:51):
Is what that means.
Okay, so, in metaphysics, thanwhat I do with my daily
practices, I do believe, as themystic shared down through the
ages, as a shared inconversations with God is, the
scientists now are sharing thatthis one, this is emerging on
the earth.
This diversity in unity, thisomnipresence, the sense of super
organism, this divinity isemerging on the earth.
(32:13):
So in my daily practice I'mgoing to that place where I see
it, feel it, taste it, touch it.
I know it's here, that has beencreated Before you and and and
it's maybe not in its full issuewhen I pass, when I physical
body passes, but we're well intoit.
So I go to that place and andand.
Then I carry that energy liketo this program and throughout
(32:36):
my day, where it's, in a sense,it's happened, it's happened,
it's pulling me, so, where itwere, actually creating
something, where we're in themetaphysics of this this is why
it's the lynchpin of theuniverse, where it's a very
powerful form of co creation,where we actually go out into
the future, where it's beencreated and then we're devoting
(32:56):
our lives to that whole creationprocess.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Totally.
I mean, I feel like that's whatI'm doing with my work as well.
I think this is what I'm gonnado, this is my vision, and I
show up and I live it, addresslike it and I behave like it and
I talk like it and I eat likeit and I talk to the people like
it, and it's a very different,intentional way of living and I
think what you and neil havecreated is absolutely phenomenal
(33:22):
and you are A soul model inyour own right and I'm
absolutely in awe of what youguys have been creating.
For, you know, two decades now Imean, I only woke up two
decades ago when this time, youknow it's only in the last four
and a half years I feel likeI've really been, you know,
trying to try to put my inputback in, because you realize how
(33:44):
precious time is, how precioushuman life is and all sentient
being life is on this planet,and I always want to leave this
place, much like you, in a muchbetter place than I found it.
And I love what you're doingwith humanities team and help
people wake up to theinterconnectedness, and I think
that's really, really beautifulwhat you've been doing.
(34:06):
So I just wanna say, steve,thank you so much For being on
the show today, and is thereanything else that you would
like to share with the audienceat all?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yeah.
So thank you for having me,james.
I really appreciate it and Iwould just my invitation to the
audience is boy, you know, trythis daily practice thing, james
.
What you and I are discussing,just open up, maybe in a bigger
way, stretch into it.
Just try and try and receiveyourself as as a son or daughter
of the most high, because everysingle person listening is that
(34:38):
, nothing less than that.
You are that and that alone.
If we can let that in, thatself image, that self
realization, that selfactualization, it's huge, it
just will.
Your whole life will shift in abeautiful direction.
And that's that's the bigconscious journey right now is
Assisting people, justespecially in the early part of
(35:00):
that journey where they feellike it's too big, it's too
impossible to challenging.
You know, not sure it's gonnawork for my family, we gotta.
That's where people really needhelp is to get through those,
that area where all thosestabilizers on you know what?
Speaker 1 (35:14):
the stabilizers on the bicycle, right, you know you
can.
I just wanna show you that,even though you're gonna shake a
bit, don't worry, we got you.
We got you right there you goessentially, yeah, essentially
just waking ourselves up, rightgodspeed to you.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Keep it going.
And you know we gotta Gottahelp people get through.
That's not nice.
That bicycle metaphor, you knowwhere were those little little
wheels there that are kind ofhelping to get the thing gliding
as it's getting started?
That's the, that's the keything that's needed right now.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
