Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh raby, Hey everyone, welcome back today. We're diving into
something well, kind of mysterious. You know. It's about connecting
with that wiser part of ourselves, what some people call
the higher self.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's a fascinating concept and you know, there's no right
or wrong way to approach it exactly.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
We're not here to tell you what to believe, but
we are going to unpack this guided meditation. It's specifically
designed to well to help you connect with that higher self,
and we're going to break down each step like why
it works that way and what it could mean for you.
Sound good, sounds great?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And you know what really struck me about this particular
meditation is how visual it is. The imagery is so vivid.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It totally is like, right off the bat, it has
you calming your mind with your breast, which, okay, that's
pretty standard meditation stuff, but why is it so crucial here?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You know, what do you think, Well, imagine trying to
have a conversation, a really deep heart to heart conversation
in a room full of people all talking at once.
It'd be impossible to really listen.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Right, yeah, totally, you'd just be hearing all the.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Noise exactly, And it's the same thing with our minds.
All that mental chatter that's like the crowded room. This
breath work, it's like hitting the mute button on all
that noise so you can actually hear that quieter, wiser
voice inside.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's such a good analogy. Okay, so we've quieted the mind,
and now this meditation has you picture yourself under this
massive tree with branches reaching upwards.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I love that imagery. It's like it's mirroring our own
desire for growth.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know, it totally does. But it's not just about
being in nature, right, Yeah, although I'm sure that's calming too.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Right, those upward branches, they represent your potential. They're like
this part of you that already knows more than you realize,
and by visualizing that, you're kind of positioning yourself to
tap into that higher wisdom.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's like setting the stage, right, And this is where
it gets really interesting. The meditation then guides you to
meet your higher self and get this. They describe it
as a beautiful golden angel.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Now that might not resonate with everyone, but there's a
reason they use that specific image.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, what's the intention behind that?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You think, Well, think about what angels represent across so
many cultures, purity, wisdom, a connection to something greater than ourselves.
It's about approaching the experience with like a sense of
reverence and openness, you know, like saying, okay, Higher Self,
I'm ready, I'm listening, I'm open.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
To whatever you've got exactly. Okay, So we've set the
stage met our angelic higher self. But now it gets
even more well more interesting. We're talking crown chakra activation here,
like full on visualizing this angel merging with you through
the top of your head.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And that's a really key part of this whole process.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Okay, So for those who aren't familiar, what's the significance
of the crown chakra?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
In lots of spiritual traditions, the crown chakra is seen
as this like energetic center at the top of your head,
and it's our connection to well, to higher consciousness, to
universal energy, to insight. So visualizing this golden angel merging
with you through that point, you're basically strengthening that connection,
making it easier to receive guidance.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So not just about feeling good or relax it's about
accessing a different level of knowing.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
You got it. And once that connection is made, the
meditation encourages you to ask for guidance.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
This is where it gets really personal. I think it is.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
What kind of guidance? Are you looking for? Big life decisions,
clarity on a situation, or just a sense of peace?
The questions themselves can be really revealing totally.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So say you're asking for guidance, how do those answers
actually come through? Like? Is it a booming voice from
the heavens or something more subtle?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Think of it less like a phone call and more
like learning a new language. At first, you might pick
up a few words here and there, maybe just a
feeling or what some people call coincidences that seem a
little too spot on to be random.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But the more you practice, the clearer it gets. It's
about trusting those nudges, those gut feelings.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Like any skill, right, the more you practice, the better
you get. Okay, okay, Before we wrap up, this is
one part I wanted to ask you about. At the end,
you're asked to visualize your higher self sealing your aura,
like closing it off. What's that about?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I like to think of it as like energetic hygiene.
You've opened yourself up, which is great, but you don't
want to just walk around energetically vulnerable ceiling your aura
is like like closing the window after you've let the
fresh air in.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's about having good boundaries, even energetic hight sacks. And
that ties into that feeling of being grounded after a meditation, right,
like coming back into your body.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, and that's why I emphasize gently bringing your awareness
back to your physical body, your breast. It makes that
transition smoother so you can carry those insights with you
without feeling, you know, totally out there.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Okay, So stepping back from the technique itself, let's talk
about the benefits. What can connecting with your higher self
actually do for someone?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Honestly, it can be seriously life changing. Imagine feeling more
aligned with your purpose, trusting your intuition, making decisions from
a place of deep inner.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Knowing instead of second guessing yourself all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Exactly and spiritually, it can deepen your connection to well,
does something bigger than yourself, however you define that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Now. I know some people listening might be thinking angels,
chakras or as this is a bit much for me.
Is there a way to approach this from a more grounded,
practical angle.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
For sure. Think of your higher self as just that,
your highest self. It's the wisest, most compassionate part of you.
It's that voice that says you got this, or maybe
try it this way. It's about tapping into your own
inner wisdom.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So whether or not you vibe with the more spiritual language,
the core idea is the same. It's about connecting with
that wiser part of yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And the cool thing is there are so many ways
to do that. This meditation is just one path, but
it could be journaling, spending time in nature, prayer, whatever
helps you quiet your mind and connect inward.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I love that find what works for you exactly. This
has been such a great conversation. It really makes you think,
and it leads me with this question. I'd love for
everyone listening to consider this too. If your higher self
could offer you just one piece of guidance to help
you navigate whatever you're dealing with right now, what would
you want to know? Think about it, and until next time,
(06:18):
keep seeking, keep exploring. That's right, So, all this buzz
about SpaceX's fifth Starship flight test got to wonder what's
got everyone's so fired up right.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, this isn't just another launch. We've been digging into
the details and let me tell you, this one's a
game changer.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It really gets to the heart of what we wanted
to deep dive into today. So let's get right to it. Absolutely.
So October thirteenth, eight twoint zero zero am Eastern time.
Everyone marked those calendars. We're talking lift off from Starbase
in Boka, Chika, Texas for Starship's fifth flight test, right, and.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
This time SpaceX is pulling out all the stops.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Okay, So for those of us just catching up. What's
got everyone on the edge of their seats.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
This goes way beyond just launching a rocket. It's about
achieving some seriously ambitious goals.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Ambitious how give us the rundown?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, first off, they're trying to catch a freaking rocket
in mid air.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Wait, seriously, hold on back up.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, all about the stupid Narcissus
five take away three out into View with Joe Rogan.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
All right, so everyone wanted to dive deep into trump On.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Rogan right, three hours of it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Three hours, We've got articles analyzing it, all the fallout
from it. Excerpts from Mitch mcconnall's upcoming biography. This is
going to be juicy, This is going to be good.
So let's just jump right into it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
First of all, this is fascinating to me because it's
not just what he said, right, which is a live
oh it is, but what it reveals about, like his
strategy going into twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Absolutely, and just even the fact that this interview was
so long it made him hours late to a rally
in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You're kidding, Nope, it's true.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He was supposed to be at this rally and he's
just chatting away with Rogan. And I think that tells
us something.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It really helps because you think about, like who's listening
to Rogan, right, It's not necessarily the same people that
are going to his rallies.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You've got a lot of younger people, less politically entrenched
folks who might not be following every twist and turn
of the campaign.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
And he just like let loose on some of his
former allies. Yeah, he did, called John Kelly like a
bully but a weak individual, and then John Bolton an idiot.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
See that's classic Trump, right, Yeah, Like he'll publicly just
disparage people he once trusted. Yeah, but it's strategic. It
feeds this whole narrative that he's surrounded by incompetence totally,
that he alone can fix things.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That he's the only one exactly. So interesting because then
you read something like from McConnell's book, Oh yeah, where
McConnell's calling him stupid, despicable and narcissismy strong words, and
yet he still endorsed him for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It really highlights the deep rift in the Republican Party.
Like you have McConnell, who is the ultimate establishment figure, right,
and he knows the dangers of Trump's rhetoric. Yeah, but
he also can't ignore the grip that Trump has on
a huge chunk of the GOP base.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
He's stuck, He's totally stuck.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Like, does he endorse the cast or does he risk
alienating a huge part of the party.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's a gamble, it is. And speaking of gambles, we
have to address the twenty twenty election claims.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Now, Remember we're not here to debate the validity of
any of this. We're just analyzing how he's presenting it. Exactly,
and he said it all crooked election irregularities in Wisconsin,
Democrats cheating with COVID, all.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The greatest hits.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh oh there.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And remember Rogan's audience. There's been criticist that he platforms
conspiracy theorists. Oh yeah, so some of his listeners might
already be receptive to these claims totally, So to hear
it from Trump himself in that casual setting could really
solidify those beliefs. It's like planting seeds in very fertile
ground and.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Fertile ground exactly. And it all ties back into that
outsider persona. You know, even though he was president, he's
still playing the.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Victim, the guy fighting the deep state.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Always.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's a powerful narrative, especially when you think about how
trust in institutions is declining, absolutely, and it plays right
into a segment of Rogan's audience that might already be
skeptical of authority, prone to conspiratorial thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So okay, but how do you reconcile that with him
boasting about befriending Kim John Nunn.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It seems like such a contradiction, right, So.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You've got the guy reeling against the establishment, but then
Buddy buddy with a dictator.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It does if you think about it like this. It's
not a contradiction. It's a different face the same persona. Okay,
he's the strong man, he's the master.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Negotiator, the guy who contain even the most dangerous adversary exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And that's going to resonate with voters who are tired
of traditional politicians, who want someone who breaks the mold.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
It's like he's saying, see, I can play by the rules, hello,
but I can also break them when I need to.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
And he's betting that that image is going to resonate
with a certain type of voter, the ones who crave
that leader who operates outside the norm, who isn't bound
by convention to drain the swamp guy, even if it
means getting his hands dirty.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So we've got this complex picture emerging. Definitely, Trump the outsider,
Trump the strong man. Trump's the victim. But where does
it all lead.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
That's the million dollar question. Yeah, and to answer it,
we need to go deeper, Okay, deeper into the claims themselves,
deeper into the psychology of his base, deeper into the
dynamics of this twenty twenty four race.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Let's dive in. Yeah, it's like he can be all
these things at the same time, the outsider but also
like buddy Buddy with a dictator.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's wild, but it works for him, it does for
some people. So let's go back to those twenty twenty
election claims for a minute. Okay, he keeps bringing up Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, why Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I think it represents this idea of a stolen victory,
like a place where things could have gone differently.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
He did lose by a really small margin there, exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, So for his supporters, it's this symbol of a rigged.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
System, right, like if only we could have flipped Wisconsin exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And by focusing on these specific examples like Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
He avoids the bigger picture totally, the broader, more complex
reality of the election. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And then there's the COVID stuff too. Oh yeah, Democrats
using the pandemic to cheat.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's like he's trying to rewrite history.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It is, he's tapping into all those anxieties and frustrations
people had during that time.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Right, all the lockdowns, the mandates, the economic uncertainty.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Exactly created this sense of vulnerability.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So exploiting it, Yeah he is. He's saying, look, you
were wrong, and I'm the only one who will fight
for you.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And it works because it plays into these existing narratives
about government overreach, the deep state, the deep state working
against the people.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So you've got the election claims feeding this sense of victimhood. Right,
But then he turns around and brags about being friends
with Kim Jong Own.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I know it's weird, right, so strange?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, how does that even fit in?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, so think about it. This is all about projecting strength.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
The election claims are for his base to reassure them
exactly like, I'm still fighting for you. But the Kim
John un stuff that's for a broader audience.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I can handle the bad guys audience.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yes, the I can negotiate with dictators. I'm the only
one tough enough for this job.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's a whole different persona.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It is, And he's betting that that image will resonate
with voters who are tired of the same old politicians,
the ones who want a strong man, the ones who
wants someone who breaks the mole.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Right, and then you have someone like McConnell. Oh yeah,
good old mis calling him stupid, despicable, and narcissist.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Those are some harsh words they are. It shows you
how deep the division in the Republican Party runs.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You've got McConnell, the establishment, right, and he knows how
dangerous Trump is. But then you have all these GOP
voters who love Trump.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
And mcconnald's caught right in the middle.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
He needs those Trump voters to stay.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
In power, so he endorses the guy he hates.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's crazy, like a faushion bargain, it really is. Yeah,
And it makes you think, like, what does this mean
for the average voter? Right? If McConnell, who knows Trumps
so well, endorses him.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
What message does that send?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Exactly? It goes beyond just politics.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's about what we value as a society.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, are we okay with this kind of behavior?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Are we so disillusioned with the system that will embrace
someone who embodies the very things we say we oppose.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Wow, that's deep, it is, and.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
It makes this Rogan interview even more important.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That's not just some random chat, No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
It's a window into the mind of a man who
could be our next president.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's a glimpse into what's happening in our political.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Landscape, and understanding that is crucial if we want to
navigate the future.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
We've covered a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We have election de nihilism, leadership styles, the Republican parties.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
It's a lot. But there's one more thing we need
to talk about. Okay, the audience. The audience for this
Rogan interview.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, it's a whole different ballgame.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
These aren't people watching cable news. No, not necessary. I
might even be reading the articles.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
They're getting their news in a very different way.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It's like he's going around the gatekeepers.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Exactly bypassing traditional media.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Getting his message right to the source to people who.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Might not even be paying attention otherwise.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
And in this setting, he controls the narrative he does.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
There's no fact checking, no pushback from journalists.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
He's just riffing with Rogans.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
And he comes off as relatable, funny. Even it's like
that friend who tells a great story.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Right, even if you know they're exaggerating a little, we're
still entertained, you are. And that's the danger here.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
People let their guard down.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's Rogan, it's entertainment.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
They're not going to be as critical as they would
be if they were watching like a news interview.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
This Rogan appearance is like a perfect example of his
whole strategy. He's going around the.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Establishment's appealing to emotion rather than reason and crafting a
narrative for a very specific audience.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It makes you think about the future of politics. It
does if candidates can just go on these shows and
reach voters directly.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
How do we hold them accountable?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Right? How do we prevent misinformation? Big questions, And that's
why this whole deep dive has been so important.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
We went beyond the headlines we did.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We went beyond the soundbites.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
To understand what he's doing and why.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
We talked about his rhetoric, his leadership, his appeal.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
To voters, and contradictions, the paradoxes, weird stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It's all there. So now it's up to you, the listener.
That's right, What stood out to you? Did anything surprise you?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Did this change how you see Trump or the election?
These are the questions we are all need to be
asking because we're heading into a really important time.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
We are, and understanding what's going on is the first
step to making good choices. Knowledge is power, It really is.
The more you know, the better you'll be able to
deal with whatever comes next, so stay curious, stay engaged,
and stay informed. We'll see you next time.
Oh raby, Hey everyone, welcome back today. We're diving into
something well, kind of mysterious. You know. It's about connecting
with that wiser part of ourselves, what some people call
the higher self.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's a fascinating concept and you know, there's no right
or wrong way to approach it exactly.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
We're not here to tell you what to believe, but
we are going to unpack this guided meditation. It's specifically
designed to well to help you connect with that higher self,
and we're going to break down each step like why
it works that way and what it could mean for you.
Sound good, sounds great?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And you know what really struck me about this particular
meditation is how visual it is. The imagery is so vivid.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It totally is like, right off the bat, it has
you calming your mind with your breast, which, okay, that's
pretty standard meditation stuff, but why is it so crucial here?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You know, what do you think, Well, imagine trying to
have a conversation, a really deep heart to heart conversation
in a room full of people all talking at once.
It'd be impossible to really listen.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Right, yeah, totally, you'd just be hearing all the.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Noise exactly, And it's the same thing with our minds.
All that mental chatter that's like the crowded room. This
breath work, it's like hitting the mute button on all
that noise so you can actually hear that quieter, wiser
voice inside.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's such a good analogy. Okay, so we've quieted the mind,
and now this meditation has you picture yourself under this
massive tree with branches reaching upwards.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I love that imagery. It's like it's mirroring our own
desire for growth.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know, it totally does. But it's not just about
being in nature, right, Yeah, although I'm sure that's calming too.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Right, those upward branches, they represent your potential. They're like
this part of you that already knows more than you realize,
and by visualizing that, you're kind of positioning yourself to
tap into that higher wisdom.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's like setting the stage, right, And this is where
it gets really interesting. The meditation then guides you to
meet your higher self and get this. They describe it
as a beautiful golden angel.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Now that might not resonate with everyone, but there's a
reason they use that specific image.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, what's the intention behind that?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You think, Well, think about what angels represent across so
many cultures, purity, wisdom, a connection to something greater than ourselves.
It's about approaching the experience with like a sense of
reverence and openness, you know, like saying, okay, Higher Self,
I'm ready, I'm listening, I'm open.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
To whatever you've got exactly. Okay, So we've set the
stage met our angelic higher self. But now it gets
even more well more interesting. We're talking crown chakra activation here,
like full on visualizing this angel merging with you through
the top of your head.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And that's a really key part of this whole process.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Okay, So for those who aren't familiar, what's the significance
of the crown chakra?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
In lots of spiritual traditions, the crown chakra is seen
as this like energetic center at the top of your head,
and it's our connection to well, to higher consciousness, to
universal energy, to insight. So visualizing this golden angel merging
with you through that point, you're basically strengthening that connection,
making it easier to receive guidance.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So not just about feeling good or relax it's about
accessing a different level of knowing.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
You got it. And once that connection is made, the
meditation encourages you to ask for guidance.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
This is where it gets really personal. I think it is.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
What kind of guidance? Are you looking for? Big life decisions,
clarity on a situation, or just a sense of peace?
The questions themselves can be really revealing totally.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So say you're asking for guidance, how do those answers
actually come through? Like? Is it a booming voice from
the heavens or something more subtle?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Think of it less like a phone call and more
like learning a new language. At first, you might pick
up a few words here and there, maybe just a
feeling or what some people call coincidences that seem a
little too spot on to be random.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But the more you practice, the clearer it gets. It's
about trusting those nudges, those gut feelings.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Like any skill, right, the more you practice, the better
you get. Okay, okay, Before we wrap up, this is
one part I wanted to ask you about. At the end,
you're asked to visualize your higher self sealing your aura,
like closing it off. What's that about?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I like to think of it as like energetic hygiene.
You've opened yourself up, which is great, but you don't
want to just walk around energetically vulnerable ceiling your aura
is like like closing the window after you've let the
fresh air in.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's about having good boundaries, even energetic hight sacks. And
that ties into that feeling of being grounded after a meditation, right,
like coming back into your body.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, and that's why I emphasize gently bringing your awareness
back to your physical body, your breast. It makes that
transition smoother so you can carry those insights with you
without feeling, you know, totally out there.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Okay, So stepping back from the technique itself, let's talk
about the benefits. What can connecting with your higher self
actually do for someone?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Honestly, it can be seriously life changing. Imagine feeling more
aligned with your purpose, trusting your intuition, making decisions from
a place of deep inner.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Knowing instead of second guessing yourself all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Exactly and spiritually, it can deepen your connection to well,
does something bigger than yourself, however you define that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Now. I know some people listening might be thinking angels,
chakras or as this is a bit much for me.
Is there a way to approach this from a more grounded,
practical angle.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
For sure. Think of your higher self as just that,
your highest self. It's the wisest, most compassionate part of you.
It's that voice that says you got this, or maybe
try it this way. It's about tapping into your own
inner wisdom.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So whether or not you vibe with the more spiritual language,
the core idea is the same. It's about connecting with
that wiser part of yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And the cool thing is there are so many ways
to do that. This meditation is just one path, but
it could be journaling, spending time in nature, prayer, whatever
helps you quiet your mind and connect inward.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I love that find what works for you exactly. This
has been such a great conversation. It really makes you think,
and it leads me with this question. I'd love for
everyone listening to consider this too. If your higher self
could offer you just one piece of guidance to help
you navigate whatever you're dealing with right now, what would
you want to know? Think about it, and until next time,
(06:18):
keep seeking, keep exploring. That's right, So, all this buzz
about SpaceX's fifth Starship flight test got to wonder what's
got everyone's so fired up right.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, this isn't just another launch. We've been digging into
the details and let me tell you, this one's a
game changer.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It really gets to the heart of what we wanted
to deep dive into today. So let's get right to it. Absolutely.
So October thirteenth, eight twoint zero zero am Eastern time.
Everyone marked those calendars. We're talking lift off from Starbase
in Boka, Chika, Texas for Starship's fifth flight test, right, and.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
This time SpaceX is pulling out all the stops.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Okay, So for those of us just catching up. What's
got everyone on the edge of their seats.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
This goes way beyond just launching a rocket. It's about
achieving some seriously ambitious goals.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Ambitious how give us the rundown?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, first off, they're trying to catch a freaking rocket
in mid air.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Wait, seriously, hold on back up.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, all about the stupid Narcissus
five take away three out into View with Joe Rogan.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
All right, so everyone wanted to dive deep into trump On.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Rogan right, three hours of it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Three hours, We've got articles analyzing it, all the fallout
from it. Excerpts from Mitch mcconnall's upcoming biography. This is
going to be juicy, This is going to be good.
So let's just jump right into it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
First of all, this is fascinating to me because it's
not just what he said, right, which is a live
oh it is, but what it reveals about, like his
strategy going into twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Absolutely, and just even the fact that this interview was
so long it made him hours late to a rally
in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You're kidding, Nope, it's true.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He was supposed to be at this rally and he's
just chatting away with Rogan. And I think that tells
us something.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It really helps because you think about, like who's listening
to Rogan, right, It's not necessarily the same people that
are going to his rallies.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You've got a lot of younger people, less politically entrenched
folks who might not be following every twist and turn
of the campaign.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
And he just like let loose on some of his
former allies. Yeah, he did, called John Kelly like a
bully but a weak individual, and then John Bolton an idiot.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
See that's classic Trump, right, Yeah, Like he'll publicly just
disparage people he once trusted. Yeah, but it's strategic. It
feeds this whole narrative that he's surrounded by incompetence totally,
that he alone can fix things.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That he's the only one exactly. So interesting because then
you read something like from McConnell's book, Oh yeah, where
McConnell's calling him stupid, despicable and narcissismy strong words, and
yet he still endorsed him for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It really highlights the deep rift in the Republican Party.
Like you have McConnell, who is the ultimate establishment figure, right,
and he knows the dangers of Trump's rhetoric. Yeah, but
he also can't ignore the grip that Trump has on
a huge chunk of the GOP base.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
He's stuck, He's totally stuck.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Like, does he endorse the cast or does he risk
alienating a huge part of the party.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's a gamble, it is. And speaking of gambles, we
have to address the twenty twenty election claims.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Now, Remember we're not here to debate the validity of
any of this. We're just analyzing how he's presenting it. Exactly,
and he said it all crooked election irregularities in Wisconsin,
Democrats cheating with COVID, all.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The greatest hits.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh oh there.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And remember Rogan's audience. There's been criticist that he platforms
conspiracy theorists. Oh yeah, so some of his listeners might
already be receptive to these claims totally, So to hear
it from Trump himself in that casual setting could really
solidify those beliefs. It's like planting seeds in very fertile
ground and.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Fertile ground exactly. And it all ties back into that
outsider persona. You know, even though he was president, he's
still playing the.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Victim, the guy fighting the deep state.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Always.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's a powerful narrative, especially when you think about how
trust in institutions is declining, absolutely, and it plays right
into a segment of Rogan's audience that might already be
skeptical of authority, prone to conspiratorial thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So okay, but how do you reconcile that with him
boasting about befriending Kim John Nunn.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It seems like such a contradiction, right, So.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You've got the guy reeling against the establishment, but then
Buddy buddy with a dictator.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It does if you think about it like this. It's
not a contradiction. It's a different face the same persona. Okay,
he's the strong man, he's the master.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Negotiator, the guy who contain even the most dangerous adversary exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And that's going to resonate with voters who are tired
of traditional politicians, who want someone who breaks the mold.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
It's like he's saying, see, I can play by the rules, hello,
but I can also break them when I need to.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
And he's betting that that image is going to resonate
with a certain type of voter, the ones who crave
that leader who operates outside the norm, who isn't bound
by convention to drain the swamp guy, even if it
means getting his hands dirty.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So we've got this complex picture emerging. Definitely, Trump the outsider,
Trump the strong man. Trump's the victim. But where does
it all lead.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
That's the million dollar question. Yeah, and to answer it,
we need to go deeper, Okay, deeper into the claims themselves,
deeper into the psychology of his base, deeper into the
dynamics of this twenty twenty four race.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Let's dive in. Yeah, it's like he can be all
these things at the same time, the outsider but also
like buddy Buddy with a dictator.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's wild, but it works for him, it does for
some people. So let's go back to those twenty twenty
election claims for a minute. Okay, he keeps bringing up Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, why Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I think it represents this idea of a stolen victory,
like a place where things could have gone differently.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
He did lose by a really small margin there, exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, So for his supporters, it's this symbol of a rigged.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
System, right, like if only we could have flipped Wisconsin exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And by focusing on these specific examples like Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
He avoids the bigger picture totally, the broader, more complex
reality of the election. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And then there's the COVID stuff too. Oh yeah, Democrats
using the pandemic to cheat.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's like he's trying to rewrite history.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It is, he's tapping into all those anxieties and frustrations
people had during that time.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Right, all the lockdowns, the mandates, the economic uncertainty.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Exactly created this sense of vulnerability.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So exploiting it, Yeah he is. He's saying, look, you
were wrong, and I'm the only one who will fight
for you.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And it works because it plays into these existing narratives
about government overreach, the deep state, the deep state working
against the people.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So you've got the election claims feeding this sense of victimhood. Right,
But then he turns around and brags about being friends
with Kim Jong Own.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I know it's weird, right, so strange?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, how does that even fit in?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, so think about it. This is all about projecting strength.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
The election claims are for his base to reassure them
exactly like, I'm still fighting for you. But the Kim
John un stuff that's for a broader audience.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I can handle the bad guys audience.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yes, the I can negotiate with dictators. I'm the only
one tough enough for this job.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's a whole different persona.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It is, And he's betting that that image will resonate
with voters who are tired of the same old politicians,
the ones who want a strong man, the ones who
wants someone who breaks the mole.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Right, and then you have someone like McConnell. Oh yeah,
good old mis calling him stupid, despicable, and narcissist.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Those are some harsh words they are. It shows you
how deep the division in the Republican Party runs.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You've got McConnell, the establishment, right, and he knows how
dangerous Trump is. But then you have all these GOP
voters who love Trump.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
And mcconnald's caught right in the middle.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
He needs those Trump voters to stay.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
In power, so he endorses the guy he hates.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's crazy, like a faushion bargain, it really is. Yeah,
And it makes you think, like, what does this mean
for the average voter? Right? If McConnell, who knows Trumps
so well, endorses him.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
What message does that send?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Exactly? It goes beyond just politics.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's about what we value as a society.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, are we okay with this kind of behavior?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Are we so disillusioned with the system that will embrace
someone who embodies the very things we say we oppose.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Wow, that's deep, it is, and.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
It makes this Rogan interview even more important.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That's not just some random chat, No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
It's a window into the mind of a man who
could be our next president.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's a glimpse into what's happening in our political.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Landscape, and understanding that is crucial if we want to
navigate the future.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
We've covered a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We have election de nihilism, leadership styles, the Republican parties.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
It's a lot. But there's one more thing we need
to talk about. Okay, the audience. The audience for this
Rogan interview.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, it's a whole different ballgame.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
These aren't people watching cable news. No, not necessary. I
might even be reading the articles.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
They're getting their news in a very different way.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It's like he's going around the gatekeepers.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Exactly bypassing traditional media.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Getting his message right to the source to people who.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Might not even be paying attention otherwise.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
And in this setting, he controls the narrative he does.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
There's no fact checking, no pushback from journalists.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
He's just riffing with Rogans.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
And he comes off as relatable, funny. Even it's like
that friend who tells a great story.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Right, even if you know they're exaggerating a little, we're
still entertained, you are. And that's the danger here.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
People let their guard down.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's Rogan, it's entertainment.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
They're not going to be as critical as they would
be if they were watching like a news interview.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
This Rogan appearance is like a perfect example of his
whole strategy. He's going around the.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Establishment's appealing to emotion rather than reason and crafting a
narrative for a very specific audience.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It makes you think about the future of politics. It
does if candidates can just go on these shows and
reach voters directly.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
How do we hold them accountable?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Right? How do we prevent misinformation? Big questions, And that's
why this whole deep dive has been so important.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
We went beyond the headlines we did.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We went beyond the soundbites.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
To understand what he's doing and why.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
We talked about his rhetoric, his leadership, his appeal.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
To voters, and contradictions, the paradoxes, weird stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It's all there. So now it's up to you, the listener.
That's right, What stood out to you? Did anything surprise you?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Did this change how you see Trump or the election?
These are the questions we are all need to be
asking because we're heading into a really important time.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
We are, and understanding what's going on is the first
step to making good choices. Knowledge is power, It really is.
The more you know, the better you'll be able to
deal with whatever comes next, so stay curious, stay engaged,
and stay informed. We'll see you next time.
