Speaker 1 (00:00):
You've got no idea who you are right now.
In fact, you've been lied toyour entire life to hide from
you the power that you haveavailable at your disposal.
You are capable of all things.
Anything is possible to you,and the reason this has been
hidden from you is because itdoesn't benefit the powers that
be for you to know this.
Why do you think you get givenfree education?
(00:20):
Nothing's free.
You get given free educationbecause it's free indoctrination
.
They don't want you being afree thinker.
They don't want you discoveringthe power that you have,
because if you understood andyou truly knew that you could do
anything, you could be anything, you could have anything.
You're actually a creaturewithout limits.
Whatever you can conceive inyour mind, you're going to be
able to achieve in the realworld, you would no longer serve
(00:44):
a purpose to the system now.
The school system is designed tocreate slaves.
It's designed to either sendyou off into the military and be
cannon fodder, or send you offto the salt mines and work in
the salt mines.
Either way, you designed theschool system is designed to
tell you that you can't achieveanything unless you follow their
rules, unless you get theircertificate saying that you can
(01:06):
do medicine, or you can do law,or you can do accounting or you
can do engineering from theirinstitution with their stamp of
approval.
Then they're telling you thatyou can't do anything and that's
your reward for complying andbeing complicit with the system.
When you comply with the system, that's keeping you down,
that's keeping you suppressed.
They give you a piece of paperthat says hey, you can go earn
(01:32):
some peanuts.
Now you can go be a doctor andyou can have a little bit of
prestige and you can make alittle bit of money.
But hey, look, you can go make$100,000, $200,000 a year as a
doctor, or you can go off onyour own and make millions and
millions of dollars.
Now people might be going well,who are you?
Who's this man talking to you?
Well, my name is Cody Butlerand I'm the author of the
bestselling book Cut the BS andno Nonsense Guide to Happiness.
And you might be asking me well, are you a millionaire, cody?
(01:52):
And I'm not talking about thisto flex, I'm talking about this
to show you what's possible.
The answer is no, I'm not amillionaire, I'm a multi, multi,
multi, multi, multi, multimillionaire.
I have built and sold manybusinesses, I've done many
things in life, and I've donethat from a starting point of
less than zero.
There was, there was a time,where I was utterly miserable,
(02:13):
utterly depressed, reallystruggling with life in every
way, shape or form financially,spiritually, health-wise, every
way and I got to a point where Ijust wasn't willing to go on
anymore with the way life waslike.
It just didn't add up to me.
There was this yearning andburning inside of me that told
me I knew there was somethingmore.
It was calling out to me,saying you're more than what you
(02:34):
are right now.
You can achieve more than whatyou are.
You can be more than what youare.
You can impact more people thanyou're impacting right now.
And I knew that.
And that's when I set out onthis quest to really find what
I'm talking about right now.
And, like you might be askingwell, what's your goal, cody?
Is it to sell me something?
What is it?
My goal is to help you findinner peace.
(02:54):
My goal is to help you findpeace within yourself and to
reach the attainment of yourfull potential, because that's
if I do that everything else isgoing to come to me.
I don't have to worry aboutanything else if I can help you
through these videos, throughthis channel, to understand who
and what you are.
And just to be clear, what youare is a creature of unlimited
(03:16):
power and possibility.
Who you are is a divinecreation of the creator of the
universe, without error.
Now, the way I view god or theuniverse, whatever name you want
to give this, that the higherpower god to me, god, god, is
the name that I give this poweris a perfect being, is a perfect
(03:37):
what I don't know, spirit being.
I don't know what the nature ofthis, this, this entity, is,
but whatever it is, it'sabsolutely perfect, and
something that's perfect isincapable of creating
imperfection.
And this entity, this deity,created me.
So if this deity is incapableof error and it created me, then
(03:58):
I'm perfect.
And the Bible tells us we'recreated in the image of God.
Well, god is all powerful.
God has the power of creation.
We have the power of creationand we have the power of
creation too.
We have the ability to doanything, decide anything,
choose anything, and if you'requestioning that right now, it's
because you've beenindoctrinated from day one to
(04:18):
question that when someone saysyou can do anything, the first
thing that comes to the mind isscam or scammer, or this is a
grift, or you're trying to getsomething from me, but the truth
of the matter is that has beenindoctrinated into you as a
fail-safe against people like me, against people that are out
here trying to educate you as toyour full potential.
It's like the word conspiracytheorist conspiracy anytime.
(04:42):
The word conspiracy theory hasgot a certain set of programming
programmed into it.
To where?
In the school system and in themainstream systems, they teach
us that anytime something isperson's a conspiracy theorist.
Or you're being told conspiracytheorist now that that's just a
fail-safe mechanism to protectagainst the truth getting out.
(05:15):
And again, the truth is you canhave, do and achieve anything.
You name it.
You you tell me what you wantrelationships, happiness, health
.
I work really predominantly, mything is there are really four
areas to life that really haveto be functioning extremely well
for you to be happy, and that'syour spirituality.
Where did you come from, whoare you and where are you going
(05:37):
to?
If we don't know what happenswhen we die, it can be very
difficult for you to be happy.
My friend, it's something thatwe have to work out and I'm not
an evangelist of any particularsystem, of that I'm not here to
tell you what to believe.
I'm just here to encourage youto believe something.
Find out what you believe andbe able to defend it, be able to
articulate it.
If someone asks you what do youbelieve, say I believe this,
(05:59):
and this is why I believe it.
Personally, I believe in God,and I believe that that God is a
God of supreme and infalliblejustice, which means I'm
probably in trouble, right, Ibelieve God is a supremely just
God, which means I'm probably introuble.
But I also believe that God isinfinitely mercy and that
merciful, and that mercy enduresforever.
(06:20):
So I'm probably going to be allright at the end of it.
And what that does?
It gives me.
It gives me a peace of mindbecause it tells me that God is
in control of my life.
God is in control of thesituation, and when God is
infinitely just, everything Ihave in my life is my
responsibility.
I did it, I made it or Iscrewed it up.
That's how I view the world.
(06:40):
I'm able to take fullresponsibility for every aspect
of my life because God is just,and if I want more, then I
simply have to find a way todeserve more.
That's all there is to it.
Now, that's the first part.
The second part is physicalhealth.
What does it matter?
Anything else you know you canhave all the money in the world,
but if you're dying, you've gotpoor health or you can't walk
up a set of stairs doesn't meanmuch.
(07:01):
Relationships are the otherpillar in finances.
Your spirituality has got to beworking, your finances have got
to be working, your health hasgot to be working and your
relationships have got to beworking and it's not a case of
focusing.
One of those is not moreimportant than any of the others
.
You can.
You can have money and beutterly depressed and utterly
(07:24):
lost and spirituallydisconnected, or you can be very
spiritual and be broke and havepoor relationships.
You're not going to be happy.
You've got to have all of thosefunctions of your life working
perfectly and that's when youfind true happiness.
And we're taught the systemteaches us that unless you
comply with the system, whichtells you you have to follow our
(07:46):
rules, you have to follow oursystems, you will not have money
, and if you don't have money,you will not have the girl, you
will not have the guy, you willnot have the family and if you
don't have the family, you won'thave the other things that you
want, and we're taught from asuper young age that if we don't
comply with the system, we willnot get the things that we need
to be happy.
But I'm here here to tell youyou don't have to comply with
(08:09):
that, because it simply isn'ttrue.
And the fact of the matter is,when you comply with the system,
it offers you 10 cents when youcould go out and you could have
$500 by yourself.
You're capable of achieving somuch more than you'd have ever
imagined possible, and I'mwitness to that and I see it
every single day.
I help people achieve their fullpotential.
I help people in theirrelationships.
(08:30):
I help people in their marriage.
And how do I?
How do I help people theirfinances?
How do I do this?
How do I know that?
Because every one of thoseareas of my life has been
completely and utterly broken atsome point or another, and I've
had to go and do a deep dive onmyself and I've had to do the
work to figure out my financesare broken.
How do I fix that?
At one point, I was so in debtthat my monthly debt, the
(08:53):
interest on my debt, was morethan my monthly income.
The interest alone exceeded mymonthly income.
My monthly interest exceeded mymonthly.
I started the month hundredsand hundreds of dollars in the
hole with no hope of getting outof it.
I turned that around, turned myaround, turned my health around
, turned my broken heart around,turned my mental health around
(09:13):
my goal depression is optional.
You don't have to experiencedepression.
Anxiety is optional.
You don't have to experienceanxiety.
And trauma is optional youdon't have to experience trauma.
And I'm not here to explain andgo through all of that here in
this video today.
I'm here to introduce myselfand invite you on this journey
with me.
Come with me on this journey,subscribe to this channel and
(09:34):
listen to my rants and raves,participate, get involved, leave
some comments on what you thinkabout this and share your
experience as well.
My goal here is to help you getwhat you want, to help you
achieve what it is that you want, and that starts out with you
recognizing who you are and whatyou are, and who you are as the
divine creation, and what youare is capable of anything that
(09:57):
can enter into your imagination.
Now I'll make another video onmanifestation and all that kind
of stuff, because we're gettinga bit long on this video now and
I don't want to go into that,but I want to talk to you about
manifestation and how that works, and I just just want to throw
it out there.
It's completely compatible withthe mainstream religions.
I'm going to explain that toyou, in fact, how the mainstream
(10:18):
religions actually teachmanifestation in a way, if we
actually look at it and we'reintellectually honest with it.
But for now I'm going to leaveit here.
I'm going to leave a link inthe description I got a
happiness quiz to where you cantake that quiz for free and see,
get some suggestions on how youcan improve your health, your
mental health, areas of lifethat you can immediately impact,
because I'm telling you, man,happiness is achievable to you.
(10:40):
Henry Thoreau said we all livelives of quiet desperation.
Well, I think that's true, butit doesn't have to be true, and
it certainly doesn't have to betrue, and it certainly doesn't
have to be true to you, for you.
So I love you and I'll see yousoon.
