Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Advisor. Before we
begin today, please do not forget to hit that like
and subscribe button, because without you, we cannot continue growing
and thriving like we are. We appreciate you, we love you,
and we're so grateful. Today we bring back Deepak Parashar.
So today we're talking about lessons from Tornado Alley. And
(00:23):
if you have not listened to our first episode or
our last episode, you know we went into discussions about
his meetings.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
With the Dolly Lama.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
You really should go back and listen to that episode
and then come back and listen to this one because
you're going to see a lot of synchronicities in the
way we discuss energy. So we're going to take you
on an unforgettable chapter from Deepak Parishar's global journey into
the raw, untamed heart of nature the great Planes.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Of Tornado Alley.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
So Deepak is Senior Energy Global Projects Leader and the
author of Life the Spiritual Essence. So he didn't just
witness tornadoes, he studied them up close. Most would run
from it, but he ran toward it, seeking answers not
just in the wind, but in the why behind it.
So in this episode, he shares what this one event
(01:18):
taught him about stillness and chaos, the power of surrender,
and how energy in its most primal form can mirror
our inner storms. So these reflections shape the pages of
his book, where science meets soul and every experience becomes
a teacher. So if you ever wondered what what a
tornado has to do with consciousness, this episode is going
(01:40):
to literally blow you away. It's really good to have
you back.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So, first of all, Lisa must say to you, you know,
big big no most day. Two, all our friends out there,
I must say that while you were giving this marvelous introduction,
I wanted to just look behind to see who exactly
you were referring to. But thank you first of all
for you know, the the for the kind and the
(02:08):
gracious words. So, as you mentioned, I want to discuss
a series of life lessons learned, as you mentioned, from
just one specific set of travels into primal mother nature,
or in other words, down the Great Plains of Tornado Valley.
Fundamentally six states in Midwest USA, including Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, Nebraska,
(02:36):
and there's one another. But before we do that, just
to augment to what you said, I want to just
give you brief genesis. What it happened was that while
I was working on power installations the world over, working
with cross functional teams from over thirty countries, and it
(02:57):
was very, very enthralling work. And and that's when I
happened to run into His Holiness the Dilam. After that
on a flight to Tokyo. This was in two thousand
and nine, and Lisa, there were two other ancillary incidents
within the six month period, you know, just on or
around there, including meeting the Vietnam veteran you know who
(03:18):
was shedding, you know, he was shooting an energy from
a distance. And I'd also picked up one of the
great scriptures of Hinduism. And what happened was this, these
three events led to a material shift in my thinking.
And what I mean by that is because you see, Lisa,
most of us, the majority of us, we are forced
(03:40):
to lead extraordinarily structured lives. And you have to because
you have to discharge your responsibilities to you know, towards
your workplace, your comrades, your family, your social circles. But
after the three incidents occurred, it was very unique. I
beget this nagging thought came into my mind, that is
(04:02):
this all that I'm ever going to be? Ninety hours
a week, sixteen hours a day, you know, weekend, weekend,
then weekend out? Is this all that there is to life?
And there was a unique shift in my thinking. You see, Liza,
I could have just sat back and rested on my
laurels and said, hey, I met the I met his
holiness and and you know, in growing until the cows
(04:25):
come home. But I didn't do that. I sensed that
there was something very unique.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You're craving more. How could you not crave more?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
How could you not crave more? And at that point,
something very unique took place, because if there were any
shackles or any cuffs in my mind, they got blown off.
And I began to realize, thanks to these three incidents alone,
that there was knowledge in every single experience, not just
(04:56):
through traditional materials like reading books or attending corporate training
schools on leadership you know, which you know, which I've
always been been doing. But now I began to understand that, Look,
you have to gain knowledge from every single experience. And
if you really look at the formal definition of meditation,
(05:17):
it is all about progressively understanding the inner nature of
an object or an experience. And you know, I come
across a program on TV where they interviewed al Pacino,
the actor, and they asked him what excites you? You
know what he did lis it? He put his hand
(05:39):
on his cheek, smiled and said everything. And that's basically
what happened. And all of a sudden, the floodgates let loose,
and here I was, you know, just you know, going
into a stumbling journey of research as an engineer experientiallying divinity.
(06:01):
And that research took fourteen years, touching thirty eight countries.
And I was talking to somebody two days back, and
they were talking about the book Life the Spiritual Lessons,
and I was telling them, I said, you know, it
was almost like a spider dipped his legs in ink
and then crawled across the page for fourteen years, and
all of a sudden, you know, things just began to emanate,
(06:23):
you know, knowledge just began to come out of the woodwork.
And so what do I mean by an engineer examining divinity?
So if I look at it another way, to put
it another way, it's I began to understand how the
substrate of energy, both material and subtle interconnects all aspects
(06:44):
of our existence under some form of corporate divinity or
a celestial intelligence of some sort. Now, what do I
mean by material and subtle energies? So these are energies
that we experience every day in our life. Nature, people, places, culture,
(07:04):
science and spirituality, leaders and leadership, religions, metaphysics, you name it.
They all constitute a combination of material and subtle energies.
And so hence began the journey of research. Now briefly,
just to tell you so when I you know, I
mentioned nature, people, places, so might some Just some of
(07:25):
my travels over the fourteen years range from going up
into the Andes Mountains in Latin America and I saw
condors from a distance, and regrettably I was hoping they
come closed, but they didn't. And then ranging on into
the Cacaw firms of Ecuador, where I saw chocolate at
(07:46):
the original pot level. It's actually salty, you know when
you taste it. And I saw entire families, you know,
families of thirty thriving lead you know, leading lives close
to nature. In fact, the gentleman who took me around
he was telling me. He told me a remarkable story.
He said, you know the fact, my grandfather, at the
age of eighty four, had his first minor surgery and
(08:08):
he was really ticked off about that surgery. And he
was saying that people routinely who lived close to nature
in Ecuador led lives up to one hundred. And I'd
heard stories about the you know, the fishing villages in Japan,
you know where you hear the similar stories. So all
of a sudden, this interconnectedness is coming in and then
(08:29):
carrying on.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I went up into the Ata Drama Desert in the
northern Chile because I wanted to see where they had
done the testing for the Mars rover missions. And I
tell you, Lisa, I went into one of the observatories
at night, and for the first time I saw the
rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter, you know,
(08:49):
and the ring nebulae, and you know, these are all
things that you've seen on television, but now there it is.
You know, it's up and in front.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Of the totally different right in real life.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, it's absolutely real. Yes, I oh it was. It
was incredible. And then you know, I went up near
the Arctic Circle to see the Northern lights. And before
we go anywhere else, because you know, this is a
discussion on nature, before we move forward, I'm going to
recommend to every view you know, every listener on the Advisor,
every person I can reach, that at least once in
(09:21):
your life, go and see the Northern lights, because you
see when you're standing under a spectacle where it's you know,
fifty percent of the sky is just moving in waves,
and you see how beautiful and magnanimous and pure and
untouched that it is. And in fact, the gentleman who
took us around, he was from the Inn community, and
(09:44):
he was telling us that his son had one once
mentioned that when a good group of people come together,
the aura comes out to dance. And boy did a dance.
And my son had come with me because minus forty
two degrees, it was that code, right, we're all freezing.
And my son, Tobi, he said that you were yelling
into the heavens, and he said everybody else was yelling
(10:07):
along with you. But you know, I truly had that
touch of degrees. And you know, again, light energy, right,
this is a direct light bridge into your greatest into
your highest self, and that's why people when they go
to see the northern lights, they come away as changed people.
You know, people go to get married and wedded from
the lights. And you know, scriptures say that light energy
(10:30):
forms the basis of our existence in increasing layers of purity,
guided by divine intelligence commencing from the atomic levels. And
this is why you see a great reverence to light
energy is by way of you know, you name Jesus
Christ at Mount Tabor, to the Hindu festival of de Vali,
(10:50):
to Hanukah, to votive candles. So once before we move on.
Always everybody given a one shot. Always go try and go.
Have you e to seen them?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Your do? You go? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
They're they're near where I live.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I was up north.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I went to yellow Knife on a project and they're
supposed to be incredible and yellow Knife, but it was
cloudy the whole time, so I didn't get to see them.
But there is quite a few around where I live
in Ontario, Canada. The colors are just magnificent. That green
that paints the sky. It's it's no like you're describing,
(11:27):
it's a feeling.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
If you haven't seen them. Yeah, you guys, see some
northern lights.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You really want to experience what that feels like, because
you can feel it makes all of life's problems, the
little tiny things that we worry about, just melt away,
and it shows us how small we actually are, yet
how significant we actually are. It's like a combination of
(11:54):
this holy Molly moment where we realize, like how vast
the universe truly is?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yes, and absolutely correct, well, very well said. So anyway,
you know, carrying on. You know, my travels took me
east into very challenging locations like the concentration camps of
of uh Decca and Arsho's Borken because I already see
where the divinit energy like there, you know, he said,
that's uh, we'll probably do that on the next podcast.
(12:23):
I'm thinking, I mean, it was.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
It was it.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You know. It took me nine months to formulate where
was the divinity amongst this mass extermination? And I would
say the number one was the the The individual sacrifice
is made by some prisoners for others, like, for example,
one one particular one one particular priest took the uh
(12:51):
He he volunteered to take the place of another prisoner,
and he died by starvation while singing hymns amidst all that,
and you know, when you go through those camps, I
mean it is really yeah. Well I'll we'll have a
separate discussion, but I would say that was my top
takeaway amongst you know, the very depressing energies. You know,
you could literally feel the overhang while you were there.
(13:13):
So anyway, you know, carrying on, you know, I traveled
the globe is part of you know, this integrated research
and that finally led into the book Life The Spiritual
Lessons just designed for the Tier one global professional to
strive to be the absolute best in the endeavors. But
it starts from understanding who you are as a person.
So sorry for the for the rather lengthy, but I
wanted to just give you the you know, what happened,
(13:35):
you know, once you know, once the you know, all
the cuffs opened up, and we'll talk about that in
the Lessons learn. So why am I discussing nature today?
Why did I pick this subject right, Because it's a
very deep subject. In fact, it took me some six
weeks of thought, you know, just to uh, you know,
to assimilate it. So if you look at scriptures, right,
and you look at the involution of the universe or
(13:57):
the create the progressive creation of the universe from a
macro level, culminating in human life. And what I was
very surprised is that when I bringed into the technical
side that science, you know, and the theory is like
the Big Bang and other theories actually follow the scriptures
very closely in that the core elements of nature what
(14:20):
we call air, fire, water, earth, and then there's ether.
Of course, either is not a formal element recognized by science,
but it's certainly within the spiritual community. So these elements
are very intrinsic to our being. We have actually come
from it, we've emanated from it as part of our
(14:42):
creation today as human beings. And and it was it
was remarkable to see this to you know, to actually
be able to read it and and understand it and
regarding the interconnected nature of life. And let me quote
you what doctor edgar Mitchell said, and this is he
(15:04):
was a NASA astronaut on Apollo fourteen on the way
back from the Moon, and he said, the biggest joy
was on the way home. In my cockpit window every
two minutes, the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, and a
whole three sixty degree panorama of the heavens I could see,
(15:28):
and that was a powerful, overwhelming experience. And suddenly I
realized that the molecules of my body and the molecules
of the spacecraft, the molecules in the body of my
partners were prototyped and manufactured in some ancient generation of stars.
And that was an overwhelming sense of oneness, of connectedness.
(15:51):
This is what this NASA astronaut said. And you know,
so the fact that we have emanated from nature and
it's part of us. This is why people are intrinsically
attracted two places. You know, they go to mountaintops, they
go to hilltops, they go to seaside resort, you know,
to reflect, absorb, and hopefully they come back as better people.
(16:16):
Now I've got one quick question for you. What do
you do if you meet a NASA Shuttle astronaut? Because
I met one, and you know he was he was
a member of the core team that fixed the Hubble telescope,
you know, when they first booked a Hubble up and
it was and you know, he went up to fix it.
So he traveled twenty nine million miles in space, and
(16:37):
I met him twice. In fact, he sent me blurds
for the book. So, Lisa, what would you do if
you ever met him? What would you say to me?
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It saying hey, how are you doing today?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
And then.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I don't know, it would have to be in the moment,
but I at first I would ask him how he
was doing, and then I would probably ask him about
what it felt like to see the world from that
far away, what it felt like. Yeah, it would be
questions about the what he saw and how it felt.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Wonderful answer, you know what I did? I just became quiet,
because what do you say to a man?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
That was the instinct. I didn't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I was like, I don't know, Like I would probably
just stare at him and just wonder.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Yeah, so you know, there's a there's a time to speak,
and then there's a time to listen and absorb because
what a what a perspective on life they have. So anyway,
that was just the introduction. So coming back to the
the storm chasing, what I what I want to do
is just break it down into first of all preconceptions,
(17:48):
what I you know, what I had in my mind
before I went through the journey, and then the people
that I met, and then the motors operun eye and
the sights and then leading into the lessons. Now, do
you have any questions for me, Lisa before we get going.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
No, I think I was just like, maybe for you
to touch on the driving factor. What about tornadoes? Was
calling you at that time?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Okay, well we will discuss that. That's a you know,
that's a great point. The simple answer is I wanted
to just see how energy, this type of energy worked
up front, because again, the whole study was about about energy,
and I'd always been fascinated by by, you know, storm
systems and tornadoes. So I said, you know, let's go
(18:38):
take a look. So starting with preconceptions, what had happened
was did it Did it scare you at all? No,
not at all. But there were reasons for that because
the storm chase team that that I picked and went with,
they played it very safe. You see that there's a
(18:58):
lot of storm chases who go right into the edge
of the storm. Sometimes they actually even you know, I
know I have friends who actually been absolutely close to,
you know, into those great storms and they go on
these very flat vehicles. And one of my friends, by Barton,
he was telling me that he was absolutely petrified and
in the same in the same breath. He told me
(19:20):
that he has this intrinsic connection into nature that he
cannot explain, and it's just you know, it drives him,
it and it motivates him. And you know, again, when
you meet the people, you find that they're all interconnected
through nature. You know that through the purity of nature.
Right now, it is, it is, it can be, It
can be quite dangerous. And this is where each person,
(19:41):
you know, you have to use your job when you
really have to do a due diligence to pick do
not try and do this by yourself. I know a
couple of people who actually tried it, and you know
they're are into you know, into a few tight spots.
But if you go with the you know, a well
managed professional storm chase company, you'll be okay, you know,
And I'll explain little bit of that. So the preconceptions, right.
(20:03):
So back in nineteen ninety six, I'd seen a movie
called Twister. Maybe you've got a bit with that with
Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt and you know, you had
all these support people.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Man, I watched that movie like a hundred times. I
absolutely loved that movie.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
So so what happened was that My initial thought was
when I saw the movie, is that all the people
in that the way they were personed five, they were
all a little bit off the charts. You know, they
were all off the wall. You couldn't quite take any
of them seriously, you know, like, you know, just a
(20:44):
derivative was one of the support actors was Philip Seimer Hoffman,
and you know, he had this permanent grin etched into
his face, and you know, he was, you know, coding.
Who could have thought, you know, this this occurred to
me years later. Who could have thought that this in
fact turned out to be one of the greatest actors
of our times? Right? And but again, you know that
(21:06):
goes to show you that never take things for granted always,
you know, don't judge, observe. It's a very key point,
you know, we are so quick to judge other people.
So anyway, having said so, I was I was expecting
a bunch of adrenals and junkies. I think that's the
best way to you know, to put it, all who
don't quite normally fit into society. Right. So of course
(21:28):
that got my my engineers my going, and I said, Okay,
I think I'll uh, let's give it a shot. So
the only person in my family who who decided to
come along with my son, it's in that outcome. He said. Okay,
So we flew into Okla Homer City Airport and you know,
we we we went around to the to the shuttle
(21:48):
point you know, for the pickup, and there was a
gentleman standing there and Lisa, he I could tell, you know,
having myself lived in the UK for ten years, I
could tell he was a bread you know, from he
was from England, and he was completely cleaned, you know,
head shaved, and he was very tee shirt and jeans.
He had big muscles, and he had tattoos all over.
(22:11):
And I'm standing there thinking of my preconceptions, right saying,
oh my lord, what have I gotten myself and my
son into? And is this what we're going to have
to deal with, you know, for for a week. So anyway,
we got we get into the hotel and then we
went shopping and you know, I started to talk to
him and he started to tell me how he as
(22:33):
a kid would do graffiti, you know, using a spread paint.
You know, it was mischievous. And then he translated that
into a profession and he showed me some of the pictures.
You know, Lisa, turns out he was one of the
nicest people that you could you could meet in life.
But how wrong it was in my in my preconceptions.
(22:53):
So we then get to the next morning when we
meet the rest of the you know, the rest of
the clients and and the the tour directors. Now I'm
starting to meet the likes of professors, psychologists, google techies, doctors.
I even met a lady who used to clip the
(23:14):
twenty years of lions at a zoo, and you started
to see, you know, this combined intelligence in a room.
There were professional photography, they were even TV anchors I met.
I met a gentleman by the name of Dallas Rains.
He's out on the West coast and he you know,
he's a weather man and I think he's got a
I think he's just completed forty years as a TV anchor.
(23:37):
And you know, a site bard from that is that
Lisa has never ceased to amaze me. And this is
part of my larger research that how the unset cosmic
laws put people with precise set of talents at a
precise moment in time to give joy to millions and
you know, I was telling Dallas, I said, you know, Dallas,
(23:58):
I thought I was a charming person. I said, tell
me about your persona. I've never met, you know, it
is rarely you meet someone with such a magnetic persona.
And he just you know, laughed off. And he was
also he was also a tornado magnet because when he
left the group and he was driving, you know, one
came pretty close to him and all the other weather
guys they were augmenting on it. But long story short
(24:20):
is that blown away out of the window was the
fact that you know, you're dealing with just you know, junkies.
These were a very, very wonderful group of people, all
brought together by the purity of nature. This is really
really uh you know, really interesting. So the next step is,
(24:41):
let's before do you have any questions, hesea, because I'll
talk about the Morris up fronta now of the of
digital the trip itself.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
No, I think we have a good picture in our
mind that you're the stage has been set, and you're
with this eclectic group of people that all have.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Such unique qualities.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
And now you guys are all together and the power
of your energy is about to unfold.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Very well, very well said now the tour the directors themselves, right,
they were also a couple of them were professional weathermen.
They you know, one of them works at Lax Airport
and but they what they do is they take time
off in in the summer to go down the great Plains.
And you know, the interesting thing, Lisas, I also met
(25:25):
along the way several weather several well known chasers. And
what struck me was that these were people who men
and women who led life on their own terms. They
were not you know, they were they were also I
would say, you know, if you from an Enginet perspective,
if you you know, if you draw a belt shaped curve, right,
you'll find that eighty percent of society, would you know,
(25:48):
people would fit into a general banquet, you know, in
the larger bel I would say most of them were
on the outliers of society, right, they were all majority
of them were reticent. They were very deep thinkers. The
other thing I noticed is that there were many who
had overcome great personal struggles to then come forward, you know,
(26:08):
and and and you know, do this, do this journey.
And that was very uh enlightening for me that how
we're in this altogether you know, we come down here
to grow as people. And that's what you know they
were they were doing. So now the modus opera and
out the trip. Typically you know, you can pick a
five six night trip, you can pick a seven night trip.
(26:29):
There are even eleven nights. Uh, you know that you
can go out, and what happens is you assemble at
a base airport and then to typically two sets of bands,
uh you know, go out. So now you're driving on
average five hundred miles a day, okay, and it's all about,
you know, being able to predict. And so what the
(26:49):
what the two directors would do is every morning they
assemble you around nine o'clock, they go through a series
of the National weather uh you know, storm Prediction Center charts,
and it's all about being able to predict where they
think the you know that the cell is going to be.
Now what happens is typically most of the of these
super cells they travel in a northeast direction. Once in
(27:12):
a while, you know, they can turn and that's what
you know the famous arena or tornado that killed you know,
some chases. So what they do is they always try
and keep you in the southeast hook of the of
the super cell that's where the tornadoes drop down, and
that's from the But at the same time, they have
to navigate the existing road network, okay, and they like
(27:33):
to chase on you know, in open country where you
can see you know, storm systems, So even fifty miles away,
it is absolutely fascinating. You know, you're driving down and
all of a sudden they you know, then they have
a lot of interaction going back and forth right on
and it's all about interactives to can.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
You feel it in the air and can is there
different smells associated with it? Like when it's about the storm,
you can smell the rain before it even comes.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Is there stuff like.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
That all the time? I mean, uh, you know, they're
typically what happens is the storms they begin to form
late afternoon early evening, so that's when you can you
can start to you know, you can smell. It's it's
absolutely fascinating and there's a purity about it, you know,
there is uh virtually impossible to define, but you have
(28:20):
to sense and uh and feel and you know, I
remember once we were out in one of the we
were out on the planes, you know, standing next to
a farm and these cows were over there, and all
the cows came over to take a look at us,
you know, and so you're you're mixing that smell in
and at the same time you can you can smell
uh oh it. We were once in a lightning thinking
(28:44):
you could smell the ozone. I mean that, you know,
you could smell burning. I mean it was it was remarkable.
So but anyway, coming back to it, it's all about
interactive strategic positioning. Okay, this is what the tour directors
have to do. And they have their charts with them
all the time, so in the van, so they're always
keeping a close eye. And I tell you, Lisa, I
(29:04):
have dealt with leaders the world over. This is where
my professional curiosity was aroused in the fact how these
men let from the front, men and women, and they
did it with integrity and humor and never give up
model and while maintaining safety, they always maintained and that
(29:24):
you know they of course, I mean, these guys have
been doing for thirty years. So there's this intuition you
know that that they that have. You know, animals work
by instinct, we do, you know, we work by developed
instinct called intuition. And you could see the you know,
the professionalism in these people so so much for the
setup and so basically what happens is you travel from
(29:45):
place to place wherever the storms are, you know, they predicted,
and then at the end sometimes they chase into the night,
you know, into late night. Now you see the lightning
storms that are that are going on. But it can
also be heartbreaking. Like in the I met a group
of people coming in. They were just leaving, they had
spent they'd been out on eleven night tour and these
(30:06):
are all the soul is lightning, that's it because the
weather just did not help. So there are also sometimes
you have to go through positioning days and what happens
is what I mean, you know what they'll say, Okay,
look we think they you know, the next day after next,
we think there's going to be a storm here, so
we're gonna try five hundred miles just a position. And
now it's a relaxed day. You have time for leisurely lives,
(30:30):
leisurely dinner, and that's not what you're there for because
when you're in the chase mode, it is all about
grab and go, you know, grab your dinner or grab
Sometimes you don't even get the time to do that,
and then eventually you you'll stay, you know, they'll find
a motel for you at night out in the middle
of the boonies, right. The but that in itself is
in the thralling experience because you're going into the unknown,
(30:52):
you don't know where you're headed. It was a lot
of fun. So that's the m So let me let
me not tell you a little bit about what happens
with the journey. So, as I mentioned, the storms typically
occur late afternoon to early evening, so it's not a
rush rush rush, right. So in the you know, once
you have the daily briefing in the morning, people, then
(31:15):
you have time to relax, listen to music, meditate a
little bit, you know. And what was very interistic to
really is is that when I first met the people
and they're total strangers, right, But now you're within a
confined space and you have to you know, there's an
adjusting mechanism. You know, you're starting to get to know
the people. And what was amazing to me was that
(31:39):
the conversation of three movies came to light just you know,
on an ad hoc ad lib basis. So I don't
know if you've seen the plain strings and automobiles, city slickers,
you know, with Billy Crystal when you go run around.
You know, I think somewhere in Texas playing you know,
they were playing cowhands. And also the the Breakfast Club,
(32:01):
you know, where the five youngsters come together, you know,
and you know for detention and they become firm friends.
And it's amazing, Lisa, that when you were interconnected through purity,
like some of my greatest friends today are storm chasers.
You know, it's it was, it was so it was
so unique to you know, to to just be able
(32:22):
to take part. And it's so different, you know, through
everything that you're doing. So let's talk. Oh, I'm gonna
tell you this. So along the way, you know, they'll
give you convenience, per stops. You'll you'll you'll suffer on
little little towns. We stopped in one town, Lizabeth, there
were seventeen people, that's it, right, And there was a
there was an old library. They opened it up for
(32:43):
us and a couple came out and the hand being
married for seventy one years, right, And you know, the
the question always came into my mind, was is it
possible would I even be able to live there and
more or less that the answer was no, I don't.
I don't think I would be just too remote for me.
But it was very interesting to see the dynamics and
(33:04):
how they operated. For example, you know, how do they
have medical services? Where are the medical services? Right? If
somebody falls sick, but of course everybody, you know, everybody copes.
So let's I'll move on now to the to the
to the sites. It's up right that that we saw.
And I'll tell you know, I sent you a picture
(33:25):
of one of those great super cells. You know, that's
you know, coming at you, but buried in my eternal memory.
You know, they say true, you know that some people
believe in reincarnation, some believe in one life, and believe
in two lives. However, lives many lives that I may,
I may live. It just burned in my memory, the
(33:45):
site of three super cells, back to back, and they were.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
You send me that photo. Do you recall that My initial.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Thought was that I was looking at a mountain that
was in a bog it looked like and now in retrospect,
I think I saw the energy of the power of
that those cells together combined into this shape of like
a powerful mountain.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
But that's what I saw when I saw that photo.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
The energy, there's some of the most beautiful, like like
once we were traveling and we saw a mid size
storm system and the rain was coming down as patterns
like wave patterns, and Lisa I was standing there in tears,
and somebody told me later that he was in tears too.
He said it was just so intensely beautiful. But you know,
(34:42):
the point was that what was remarkable about these threes
super cells was that they were about a mile wide.
These so we must have been about twenty miles away. Incidentally,
it's very difficult to gauge distances, you know, when I
saw the twin tornadoes, I thought we were two miles off,
but they told me later, no, it was five miles.
Very very hard to gauge, right, But what you could
(35:03):
see was, and this goes back to your question that
you know, what did you sense when you went up?
You could physically see the energy transferring from one super
cell into the other. So and how you could tell
is that first the first super cell strengthened, you could
see the structure like a mothership stortada form, and then
it began to break down and the second one started,
(35:26):
you know, to to formulate, right, and then the third
one and then again it passed over. Incidentally, when they
chase they only like to chase isolated storms because somehow
these when you have a line of storms, they tend
to break. You know, you don't see tornadoes. It tends
to negate the effects somehow. And the other thing, Lisa
is it's a lot harder to see a tornado than
(35:47):
it is to see the Northern lights because it takes
a very specific set of circumstances. They're very technical terms
right on how alternatory Yeah so, but but the point
is that you're seeing some of the greatest sits still,
you know, on the planet. And I, you know, I
want to tell you about something that and I sp
you know, I researched this over but it's a throwback
(36:09):
to my youth, right when I was just past the
toddlest stage. My mother had once taken me out to
see a great storm. It was at a distance, and
you know, there was a lot of lightning and stuff,
and I'm yelling my head off and she was telling me,
she said, you know, see how beautiful it is. I
sort of remember this, you know, this was over you know,
over a half a century ago, and and here I was,
(36:32):
you know, you know, fifty years later, standing in front
of these great super cells. And that tells you about
the the connected nature of life. How we must I
banish our children, you know, because between the age of
six to thirteens when they're the most impressionable. And you know,
on my my mother, I want to tell you that
she was she was a person very grounded in wisdom,
right like when she was a child, she had attended
(36:54):
a prayer session of Mahatma Gandhi's but she was a kid.
And then in her later years, you know, she passed
away fairly young. She she did charity work with mother Terisa. Now,
now can you imagine can you imagine how fortunate a
person can be to be able to, you know, to
(37:14):
receive this, you know, this kind of knowledge as part
of your growing up and how that you know, how
important it is. But anyway, coming back to the great
uh supercells, it's all about the yin and the yang.
What happens is on one side you see great beauty
and then on the other hand you see great destruction.
And you know, our hearts go out to the communities
(37:36):
who have lost so much by way, you know, of
these of these storms, Like we went into one particular local,
you know, one small community where a rain wrapped tornado
had colored them. So what that means is that you
can't see the tornado coming. It's actually wrapped in rain.
But they think it's just the rainstorm coming at you.
It's actually tornado. And I tell you these are these
(37:58):
are I saw a cart higher on the roof. I
mean it is. It is the type of destruction that
you chase. It is inconceivable, you know, it is just
something that you have to you know, to to say,
oh my lord. And that's why again, you know, it's
a very personal decision if you want to go on
such a chase. But again, do your due diligence. You know,
(38:20):
if you ever do decide to go, do it, do
your due diligence. And you know research these days on
chat libuty, you know, you get all the information you
know that you need. So so that's what And now
the other thing is the energy in the van rights
in waves. So what I mean by that is that
when like we were chasing one storm, because they typically
(38:40):
start you know, late afternoon and then once the chase commences,
you know, you just go, go go. So we were
chasing the stop for about three four hours and it
just wasn't dropping a tornado. So everybody was a bit
you know, they were feeling a little low. And all
of a sudden, you know, we hurt all the cell phone.
Uh you know, emergency starts go on tornado warning and
the entire van erupted in. Yeah, and you know I'm saying, saying,
(39:03):
what is wrong with this picture? Right? Normally you would
never see that, but it was the total opposite. And
then last but not the least lies regarding the sites.
You know, once the storm passes. Now you know we
were we were there once and we were seeing the
mamboist clouds forming and you could see the sun shining,
you know, the rays of the sun shining through, and
(39:23):
you saw these metallic orange, blue, red just all merged in.
And I was standing there listen now you can finally
hear yourself. And I was listening to Hans Zimmer and
arm Man and the likes of Evangelist. And if you
try the combination of music to these, you know, these
(39:44):
are some of the greatest moments right there where you
get divinity in the moment it was. It was just extraordinary.
So any any questions before we get into the conclusions.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
No, I feel like it sounds like an So it
sounds like a movie. You know, you were on this
incredible journey with with all of this different energy and
and a collective group of people that we're all on
this journey together, and and it just goes to show
the power of community and numbers and and how vast
(40:19):
our universe really is. You know, these storms they come
through and they destroy, but the destruction then opens a
path for new growth and development. And I think that's
you know, that reflects how real life actually works. And
just for instance, when there's a fire in the forest,
(40:39):
how that you know, stimulates new growth in the ground
and then it grows even.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Stronger and more vast and more powerful.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
And I just find it so fascinating that that we
worry about such trivial things in life, you know that
that we worry about missing our favorite TV show, when
when you can walk outside and you know, observe nature,
and I think that's the most significant thing.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
So it sounds like an incredible adventure.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Yes, So let me so I compiled just a few
lessons learned right, So I'm just gonna briefly go through them.
So the first one, obviously is the interactive leadership of
these two directors, right, they are leading in the moment,
you know, like the training of special forces the world over.
You know, they train you to you know, they don't
sit back and lament why am I in a situation?
You know, of course in this case it's a managed thing.
(41:31):
You know, you're gone on a chase. But then they're
always interactively working and they do it with safety and
integrity and never give up.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Mon Was there ever any like disagreements between any of
you guys.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
No, not once, not even once, And that you know
again that also reinforces the way that they manage everyone.
You know, they even swap people around in the van
so you get to know each other, you know, between
the two vans, and it's just you know, it's just
a royal you the party going on. And it's the
only time I found Lisa that I could not work
(42:05):
because you know, again, you're sitting you know, you're you're driving,
you know, five hundred miles a day, you're always in
a moving man. You can check emails, right, but you
can't really respond. You can't have conference calls, right because
you know, out of courtesy for the other It was
the only time that I could not actually work. And
of course by the time you get in, you know,
into the into the motels at night, sometimes it's ten
(42:27):
o'clock at night. Who wants to work? Then you know
you're too tired, and then again you know you're on
the go. But again it's a it's a it's a
bit of a backstretch. This is not an easy journey,
you know, as they say that, you know, to achieve extraordinarily,
you know, you have to face some suffering. Again, this
is just a classic example of it, right that to
get to and see those sides, I ended up seeing
fourteen tornadoes in total. I actually lost track, including including
(42:51):
twenty tornadoes. Became too I think about a mile and
a half of a tornado, and you know when but again,
you know it was we were again, you know, southeast.
They parked us and now you you know, you step
outside and we were seeing roughly i'd say, fifty sixty
mile hour winds. It was just fascinating, and I saw
one one storm, one mothership. They later said that it
(43:13):
was actually the size of the state of Kansas. That
was the size of the super cell.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Incredible, Yeah, I incredible. So I get through that. So
the second point is learn to deal with the ups
and downs of life right and again it's the end
of the Yeah, you have to be equanimious because the
energy in the van rides in waves. You know, sometimes
you're high, sometimes so low, and you see all these
vary reactions you know amongst the people that I'm sitting
(43:40):
there like an engineer laughing it all in right, for
as part of the the interactive research. The third is,
and this is a derivative, is if you can get
into synchronicity with the rhythms of nature on a daily basis.
So for example, if you start your day early, right,
and you go and join the birds having a party
outside at six o'clock, and it's also the time when
(44:03):
you know the body is most receptive to divine energies
of the Creator and naturally though, you know, this is
why people the world over lend themselves into holistic activities,
you know, like yoga and the like. So if you
can get into the rism you start your day with nature,
you are you're more than likely bound to have an
excellent day. It really sets the stage for you, you know,
by the time you commence a day eight eight o'clock.
(44:26):
Next one, of course, is preconceptions. As mentioned, don't judge, observe.
It's a you know, we all have this tendency to
go and uh, you know, and enjoy the others. And
if you can develop this extraordinary situational awareness in any situation.
You know what I was mentioning that there's knowledge to
be gleaned out of every single and you link that
(44:48):
with the humility and a gratefulness as I mentioned earlier,
the universe opens up very very interesting corridors of knowledge.
Take your gloves off, you know, lift your pre perceptions.
You will you will find in your fears. You will
find that most of your fears are so transitory in life, right.
(45:09):
And if you can, if you can do that, it
just opens up. It opens up avenues for you that
you could not possibly have foreseen earlier. You know, you
break fear boundaries that oh, I this is what I
meant to be doing all my life. Right, go out
and experiment for yourself. And this applies to people of
any age, you know, as they say that, well, there's
a there's a time to experiment. But if you have
(45:29):
the attitude, you know you can do this at seventy five.
I mean, it's just you know, it's it's really uh fascinating,
how how you can you can develop yourself try and
interconnect the dots of your life. So what I you know,
as I mentioned, what I mean by that is that
if you sit back and introspect. You know a lot
(45:50):
of people go from meditation, but first of all, introspect
on who you are. Right what you will find is
that you probably took maybe probably a set of key decisions,
maybe no more than three or six that shaped your
pathway to where you are, to who you are today
and what happens Lisa, that if you can do that,
it will then lead fraud you in the in the
(46:13):
appropriate direction for all your future steps. And last, but
not the least, Lisa, understand that we are cosmic visitors
in time when when you look at when you look
at this, you know, when you go out in the
great planes and you see how insignificant you are compared
(46:34):
to the hand of Mother Nature. The takeaway for me
was that help other people the best you can move
from the eye into the wei and try and leave
the world a slightly better place for others. And that's
really what you call the miracle of life, that when
people come together to help others, you know, it's not
(46:56):
all about you. But again, it's all about taking personal responsibility.
Because if you want to help on this first round,
help yourself, so and so you know here and this
is when you have to tap into your divinity with them.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Yeah, you know what I'm that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
So many good lessons that you learned on your travels
about life. What comes to mind for me is that
since we are all so interconnected and we're all part
of the same consciousness, tornadoes and storms and nature is
(47:33):
absolutely limitless. And because we're all so interconnected, that also
means that we're limitless, and we're powerful, just as powerful
as those storms in our own ways. And when we
learn who we really are, that's when we can really
tap into our power. So I love how you talked about,
(47:57):
you know, judgment and just letting our guard down and
enjoying the simple things and going on adventures. I feel
like that's what life's about. Yeah, so thank you so
much for being here and for telling your story. I
want to go on a storm chase now. I feel
like going outside. Actually, it looks like it's going to
(48:17):
storm where I live, actually, and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
You should do that, and thank you for having me
on the Jolies. I really appreciate it. I'm big, big,
I must say to all our friends out.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
There, Yes, you guys, you just heard from Deepak parish
are and he has a podcast on our channel and
we are now on megaphone and that is mega news.
So please do not forget to like and subscribe before
you leave today. Just like Deepak said, like, get outside,
observe nature, ground, let's figure out who we really are
(48:50):
so we can really tap into our powers. Until next time,
take care everybody,
Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Advisor. Before we
begin today, please do not forget to hit that like
and subscribe button, because without you, we cannot continue growing
and thriving like we are. We appreciate you, we love you,
and we're so grateful. Today we bring back Deepak Parashar.
So today we're talking about lessons from Tornado Alley. And
(00:23):
if you have not listened to our first episode or
our last episode, you know we went into discussions about
his meetings.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
With the Dolly Lama.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
You really should go back and listen to that episode
and then come back and listen to this one because
you're going to see a lot of synchronicities in the
way we discuss energy. So we're going to take you
on an unforgettable chapter from Deepak Parishar's global journey into
the raw, untamed heart of nature the great Planes.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Of Tornado Alley.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
So Deepak is Senior Energy Global Projects Leader and the
author of Life the Spiritual Essence. So he didn't just
witness tornadoes, he studied them up close. Most would run
from it, but he ran toward it, seeking answers not
just in the wind, but in the why behind it.
So in this episode, he shares what this one event
(01:18):
taught him about stillness and chaos, the power of surrender,
and how energy in its most primal form can mirror
our inner storms. So these reflections shape the pages of
his book, where science meets soul and every experience becomes
a teacher. So if you ever wondered what what a
tornado has to do with consciousness, this episode is going
(01:40):
to literally blow you away. It's really good to have
you back.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So, first of all, Lisa must say to you, you know,
big big no most day. Two, all our friends out there,
I must say that while you were giving this marvelous introduction,
I wanted to just look behind to see who exactly
you were referring to. But thank you first of all
for you know, the the for the kind and the
(02:08):
gracious words. So, as you mentioned, I want to discuss
a series of life lessons learned, as you mentioned, from
just one specific set of travels into primal mother nature,
or in other words, down the Great Plains of Tornado Valley.
Fundamentally six states in Midwest USA, including Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, Nebraska,
(02:36):
and there's one another. But before we do that, just
to augment to what you said, I want to just
give you brief genesis. What it happened was that while
I was working on power installations the world over, working
with cross functional teams from over thirty countries, and it
(02:57):
was very, very enthralling work. And and that's when I
happened to run into His Holiness the Dilam. After that
on a flight to Tokyo. This was in two thousand
and nine, and Lisa, there were two other ancillary incidents
within the six month period, you know, just on or
around there, including meeting the Vietnam veteran you know who
(03:18):
was shedding, you know, he was shooting an energy from
a distance. And I'd also picked up one of the
great scriptures of Hinduism. And what happened was this, these
three events led to a material shift in my thinking.
And what I mean by that is because you see, Lisa,
most of us, the majority of us, we are forced
(03:40):
to lead extraordinarily structured lives. And you have to because
you have to discharge your responsibilities to you know, towards
your workplace, your comrades, your family, your social circles. But
after the three incidents occurred, it was very unique. I
beget this nagging thought came into my mind, that is
(04:02):
this all that I'm ever going to be? Ninety hours
a week, sixteen hours a day, you know, weekend, weekend,
then weekend out? Is this all that there is to life?
And there was a unique shift in my thinking. You see, Liza,
I could have just sat back and rested on my
laurels and said, hey, I met the I met his
holiness and and you know, in growing until the cows
(04:25):
come home. But I didn't do that. I sensed that
there was something very unique.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You're craving more. How could you not crave more?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
How could you not crave more? And at that point,
something very unique took place, because if there were any
shackles or any cuffs in my mind, they got blown off.
And I began to realize, thanks to these three incidents alone,
that there was knowledge in every single experience, not just
(04:56):
through traditional materials like reading books or attending corporate training
schools on leadership you know, which you know, which I've
always been been doing. But now I began to understand that, Look,
you have to gain knowledge from every single experience. And
if you really look at the formal definition of meditation,
(05:17):
it is all about progressively understanding the inner nature of
an object or an experience. And you know, I come
across a program on TV where they interviewed al Pacino,
the actor, and they asked him what excites you? You
know what he did lis it? He put his hand
(05:39):
on his cheek, smiled and said everything. And that's basically
what happened. And all of a sudden, the floodgates let loose,
and here I was, you know, just you know, going
into a stumbling journey of research as an engineer experientiallying divinity.
(06:01):
And that research took fourteen years, touching thirty eight countries.
And I was talking to somebody two days back, and
they were talking about the book Life the Spiritual Lessons,
and I was telling them, I said, you know, it
was almost like a spider dipped his legs in ink
and then crawled across the page for fourteen years, and
all of a sudden, you know, things just began to emanate,
(06:23):
you know, knowledge just began to come out of the woodwork.
And so what do I mean by an engineer examining divinity?
So if I look at it another way, to put
it another way, it's I began to understand how the
substrate of energy, both material and subtle interconnects all aspects
(06:44):
of our existence under some form of corporate divinity or
a celestial intelligence of some sort. Now, what do I
mean by material and subtle energies? So these are energies
that we experience every day in our life. Nature, people, places, culture,
(07:04):
science and spirituality, leaders and leadership, religions, metaphysics, you name it.
They all constitute a combination of material and subtle energies.
And so hence began the journey of research. Now briefly,
just to tell you so when I you know, I
mentioned nature, people, places, so might some Just some of
(07:25):
my travels over the fourteen years range from going up
into the Andes Mountains in Latin America and I saw
condors from a distance, and regrettably I was hoping they
come closed, but they didn't. And then ranging on into
the Cacaw firms of Ecuador, where I saw chocolate at
(07:46):
the original pot level. It's actually salty, you know when
you taste it. And I saw entire families, you know,
families of thirty thriving lead you know, leading lives close
to nature. In fact, the gentleman who took me around
he was telling me. He told me a remarkable story.
He said, you know the fact, my grandfather, at the
age of eighty four, had his first minor surgery and
(08:08):
he was really ticked off about that surgery. And he
was saying that people routinely who lived close to nature
in Ecuador led lives up to one hundred. And I'd
heard stories about the you know, the fishing villages in Japan,
you know where you hear the similar stories. So all
of a sudden, this interconnectedness is coming in and then
(08:29):
carrying on.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I went up into the Ata Drama Desert in the
northern Chile because I wanted to see where they had
done the testing for the Mars rover missions. And I
tell you, Lisa, I went into one of the observatories
at night, and for the first time I saw the
rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter, you know,
(08:49):
and the ring nebulae, and you know, these are all
things that you've seen on television, but now there it is.
You know, it's up and in front.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Of the totally different right in real life.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, it's absolutely real. Yes, I oh it was. It
was incredible. And then you know, I went up near
the Arctic Circle to see the Northern lights. And before
we go anywhere else, because you know, this is a
discussion on nature, before we move forward, I'm going to
recommend to every view you know, every listener on the Advisor,
every person I can reach, that at least once in
(09:21):
your life, go and see the Northern lights, because you
see when you're standing under a spectacle where it's you know,
fifty percent of the sky is just moving in waves,
and you see how beautiful and magnanimous and pure and
untouched that it is. And in fact, the gentleman who
took us around, he was from the Inn community, and
(09:44):
he was telling us that his son had one once
mentioned that when a good group of people come together,
the aura comes out to dance. And boy did a dance.
And my son had come with me because minus forty
two degrees, it was that code, right, we're all freezing.
And my son, Tobi, he said that you were yelling
into the heavens, and he said everybody else was yelling
(10:07):
along with you. But you know, I truly had that
touch of degrees. And you know, again, light energy, right,
this is a direct light bridge into your greatest into
your highest self, and that's why people when they go
to see the northern lights, they come away as changed people.
You know, people go to get married and wedded from
the lights. And you know, scriptures say that light energy
(10:30):
forms the basis of our existence in increasing layers of purity,
guided by divine intelligence commencing from the atomic levels. And
this is why you see a great reverence to light
energy is by way of you know, you name Jesus
Christ at Mount Tabor, to the Hindu festival of de Vali,
(10:50):
to Hanukah, to votive candles. So once before we move on.
Always everybody given a one shot. Always go try and go.
Have you e to seen them?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Your do? You go? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
They're they're near where I live.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I was up north.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I went to yellow Knife on a project and they're
supposed to be incredible and yellow Knife, but it was
cloudy the whole time, so I didn't get to see them.
But there is quite a few around where I live
in Ontario, Canada. The colors are just magnificent. That green
that paints the sky. It's it's no like you're describing,
(11:27):
it's a feeling.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
If you haven't seen them. Yeah, you guys, see some
northern lights.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You really want to experience what that feels like, because
you can feel it makes all of life's problems, the
little tiny things that we worry about, just melt away,
and it shows us how small we actually are, yet
how significant we actually are. It's like a combination of
(11:54):
this holy Molly moment where we realize, like how vast
the universe truly is?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yes, and absolutely correct, well, very well said. So anyway,
you know, carrying on. You know, my travels took me
east into very challenging locations like the concentration camps of
of uh Decca and Arsho's Borken because I already see
where the divinit energy like there, you know, he said,
that's uh, we'll probably do that on the next podcast.
(12:23):
I'm thinking, I mean, it was.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
It was it.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You know. It took me nine months to formulate where
was the divinity amongst this mass extermination? And I would
say the number one was the the The individual sacrifice
is made by some prisoners for others, like, for example,
one one particular one one particular priest took the uh
(12:51):
He he volunteered to take the place of another prisoner,
and he died by starvation while singing hymns amidst all that,
and you know, when you go through those camps, I
mean it is really yeah. Well I'll we'll have a
separate discussion, but I would say that was my top
takeaway amongst you know, the very depressing energies. You know,
you could literally feel the overhang while you were there.
(13:13):
So anyway, you know, carrying on, you know, I traveled
the globe is part of you know, this integrated research
and that finally led into the book Life The Spiritual
Lessons just designed for the Tier one global professional to
strive to be the absolute best in the endeavors. But
it starts from understanding who you are as a person.
So sorry for the for the rather lengthy, but I
wanted to just give you the you know, what happened,
(13:35):
you know, once you know, once the you know, all
the cuffs opened up, and we'll talk about that in
the Lessons learn. So why am I discussing nature today?
Why did I pick this subject right, Because it's a
very deep subject. In fact, it took me some six
weeks of thought, you know, just to uh, you know,
to assimilate it. So if you look at scriptures, right,
and you look at the involution of the universe or
(13:57):
the create the progressive creation of the universe from a
macro level, culminating in human life. And what I was
very surprised is that when I bringed into the technical
side that science, you know, and the theory is like
the Big Bang and other theories actually follow the scriptures
very closely in that the core elements of nature what
(14:20):
we call air, fire, water, earth, and then there's ether.
Of course, either is not a formal element recognized by science,
but it's certainly within the spiritual community. So these elements
are very intrinsic to our being. We have actually come
from it, we've emanated from it as part of our
(14:42):
creation today as human beings. And and it was it
was remarkable to see this to you know, to actually
be able to read it and and understand it and
regarding the interconnected nature of life. And let me quote
you what doctor edgar Mitchell said, and this is he
(15:04):
was a NASA astronaut on Apollo fourteen on the way
back from the Moon, and he said, the biggest joy
was on the way home. In my cockpit window every
two minutes, the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, and a
whole three sixty degree panorama of the heavens I could see,
(15:28):
and that was a powerful, overwhelming experience. And suddenly I
realized that the molecules of my body and the molecules
of the spacecraft, the molecules in the body of my
partners were prototyped and manufactured in some ancient generation of stars.
And that was an overwhelming sense of oneness, of connectedness.
(15:51):
This is what this NASA astronaut said. And you know,
so the fact that we have emanated from nature and
it's part of us. This is why people are intrinsically
attracted two places. You know, they go to mountaintops, they
go to hilltops, they go to seaside resort, you know,
to reflect, absorb, and hopefully they come back as better people.
(16:16):
Now I've got one quick question for you. What do
you do if you meet a NASA Shuttle astronaut? Because
I met one, and you know he was he was
a member of the core team that fixed the Hubble telescope,
you know, when they first booked a Hubble up and
it was and you know, he went up to fix it.
So he traveled twenty nine million miles in space, and
(16:37):
I met him twice. In fact, he sent me blurds
for the book. So, Lisa, what would you do if
you ever met him? What would you say to me?
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It saying hey, how are you doing today?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
And then.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I don't know, it would have to be in the moment,
but I at first I would ask him how he
was doing, and then I would probably ask him about
what it felt like to see the world from that
far away, what it felt like. Yeah, it would be
questions about the what he saw and how it felt.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Wonderful answer, you know what I did? I just became quiet,
because what do you say to a man?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
That was the instinct. I didn't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I was like, I don't know, Like I would probably
just stare at him and just wonder.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Yeah, so you know, there's a there's a time to speak,
and then there's a time to listen and absorb because
what a what a perspective on life they have. So anyway,
that was just the introduction. So coming back to the
the storm chasing, what I what I want to do
is just break it down into first of all preconceptions,
(17:48):
what I you know, what I had in my mind
before I went through the journey, and then the people
that I met, and then the motors operun eye and
the sights and then leading into the lessons. Now, do
you have any questions for me, Lisa before we get going.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
No, I think I was just like, maybe for you
to touch on the driving factor. What about tornadoes? Was
calling you at that time?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Okay, well we will discuss that. That's a you know,
that's a great point. The simple answer is I wanted
to just see how energy, this type of energy worked
up front, because again, the whole study was about about energy,
and I'd always been fascinated by by, you know, storm
systems and tornadoes. So I said, you know, let's go
(18:38):
take a look. So starting with preconceptions, what had happened
was did it Did it scare you at all? No,
not at all. But there were reasons for that because
the storm chase team that that I picked and went with,
they played it very safe. You see that there's a
(18:58):
lot of storm chases who go right into the edge
of the storm. Sometimes they actually even you know, I
know I have friends who actually been absolutely close to,
you know, into those great storms and they go on
these very flat vehicles. And one of my friends, by Barton,
he was telling me that he was absolutely petrified and
in the same in the same breath. He told me
(19:20):
that he has this intrinsic connection into nature that he
cannot explain, and it's just you know, it drives him,
it and it motivates him. And you know, again, when
you meet the people, you find that they're all interconnected
through nature. You know that through the purity of nature.
Right now, it is, it is, it can be, It
can be quite dangerous. And this is where each person,
(19:41):
you know, you have to use your job when you
really have to do a due diligence to pick do
not try and do this by yourself. I know a
couple of people who actually tried it, and you know
they're are into you know, into a few tight spots.
But if you go with the you know, a well
managed professional storm chase company, you'll be okay, you know,
And I'll explain little bit of that. So the preconceptions, right.
(20:03):
So back in nineteen ninety six, I'd seen a movie
called Twister. Maybe you've got a bit with that with
Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt and you know, you had
all these support people.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Man, I watched that movie like a hundred times. I
absolutely loved that movie.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
So so what happened was that My initial thought was
when I saw the movie, is that all the people
in that the way they were personed five, they were
all a little bit off the charts. You know, they
were all off the wall. You couldn't quite take any
of them seriously, you know, like, you know, just a
(20:44):
derivative was one of the support actors was Philip Seimer Hoffman,
and you know, he had this permanent grin etched into
his face, and you know, he was, you know, coding.
Who could have thought, you know, this this occurred to
me years later. Who could have thought that this in
fact turned out to be one of the greatest actors
of our times? Right? And but again, you know that
(21:06):
goes to show you that never take things for granted always,
you know, don't judge, observe. It's a very key point,
you know, we are so quick to judge other people.
So anyway, having said so, I was I was expecting
a bunch of adrenals and junkies. I think that's the
best way to you know, to put it, all who
don't quite normally fit into society. Right. So of course
(21:28):
that got my my engineers my going, and I said, Okay,
I think I'll uh, let's give it a shot. So
the only person in my family who who decided to
come along with my son, it's in that outcome. He said. Okay,
So we flew into Okla Homer City Airport and you know,
we we we went around to the to the shuttle
(21:48):
point you know, for the pickup, and there was a
gentleman standing there and Lisa, he I could tell, you know,
having myself lived in the UK for ten years, I
could tell he was a bread you know, from he
was from England, and he was completely cleaned, you know,
head shaved, and he was very tee shirt and jeans.
He had big muscles, and he had tattoos all over.
(22:11):
And I'm standing there thinking of my preconceptions, right saying,
oh my lord, what have I gotten myself and my
son into? And is this what we're going to have
to deal with, you know, for for a week. So anyway,
we got we get into the hotel and then we
went shopping and you know, I started to talk to
him and he started to tell me how he as
(22:33):
a kid would do graffiti, you know, using a spread paint.
You know, it was mischievous. And then he translated that
into a profession and he showed me some of the pictures.
You know, Lisa, turns out he was one of the
nicest people that you could you could meet in life.
But how wrong it was in my in my preconceptions.
(22:53):
So we then get to the next morning when we
meet the rest of the you know, the rest of
the clients and and the the tour directors. Now I'm
starting to meet the likes of professors, psychologists, google techies, doctors.
I even met a lady who used to clip the
(23:14):
twenty years of lions at a zoo, and you started
to see, you know, this combined intelligence in a room.
There were professional photography, they were even TV anchors I met.
I met a gentleman by the name of Dallas Rains.
He's out on the West coast and he you know,
he's a weather man and I think he's got a
I think he's just completed forty years as a TV anchor.
(23:37):
And you know, a site bard from that is that
Lisa has never ceased to amaze me. And this is
part of my larger research that how the unset cosmic
laws put people with precise set of talents at a
precise moment in time to give joy to millions and
you know, I was telling Dallas, I said, you know, Dallas,
(23:58):
I thought I was a charming person. I said, tell
me about your persona. I've never met, you know, it
is rarely you meet someone with such a magnetic persona.
And he just you know, laughed off. And he was
also he was also a tornado magnet because when he
left the group and he was driving, you know, one
came pretty close to him and all the other weather
guys they were augmenting on it. But long story short
(24:20):
is that blown away out of the window was the
fact that you know, you're dealing with just you know, junkies.
These were a very, very wonderful group of people, all
brought together by the purity of nature. This is really
really uh you know, really interesting. So the next step is,
(24:41):
let's before do you have any questions, hesea, because I'll
talk about the Morris up fronta now of the of
digital the trip itself.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
No, I think we have a good picture in our
mind that you're the stage has been set, and you're
with this eclectic group of people that all have.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Such unique qualities.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
And now you guys are all together and the power
of your energy is about to unfold.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Very well, very well said now the tour the directors themselves, right,
they were also a couple of them were professional weathermen.
They you know, one of them works at Lax Airport
and but they what they do is they take time
off in in the summer to go down the great Plains.
And you know, the interesting thing, Lisas, I also met
(25:25):
along the way several weather several well known chasers. And
what struck me was that these were people who men
and women who led life on their own terms. They
were not you know, they were they were also I
would say, you know, if you from an Enginet perspective,
if you you know, if you draw a belt shaped curve, right,
you'll find that eighty percent of society, would you know,
(25:48):
people would fit into a general banquet, you know, in
the larger bel I would say most of them were
on the outliers of society, right, they were all majority
of them were reticent. They were very deep thinkers. The
other thing I noticed is that there were many who
had overcome great personal struggles to then come forward, you know,
(26:08):
and and and you know, do this, do this journey.
And that was very uh enlightening for me that how
we're in this altogether you know, we come down here
to grow as people. And that's what you know they
were they were doing. So now the modus opera and
out the trip. Typically you know, you can pick a
five six night trip, you can pick a seven night trip.
(26:29):
There are even eleven nights. Uh, you know that you
can go out, and what happens is you assemble at
a base airport and then to typically two sets of bands,
uh you know, go out. So now you're driving on
average five hundred miles a day, okay, and it's all about,
you know, being able to predict. And so what the
(26:49):
what the two directors would do is every morning they
assemble you around nine o'clock, they go through a series
of the National weather uh you know, storm Prediction Center charts,
and it's all about being able to predict where they
think the you know that the cell is going to be.
Now what happens is typically most of the of these
super cells they travel in a northeast direction. Once in
(27:12):
a while, you know, they can turn and that's what
you know the famous arena or tornado that killed you know,
some chases. So what they do is they always try
and keep you in the southeast hook of the of
the super cell that's where the tornadoes drop down, and
that's from the But at the same time, they have
to navigate the existing road network, okay, and they like
(27:33):
to chase on you know, in open country where you
can see you know, storm systems, So even fifty miles away,
it is absolutely fascinating. You know, you're driving down and
all of a sudden they you know, then they have
a lot of interaction going back and forth right on
and it's all about interactives to can.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
You feel it in the air and can is there
different smells associated with it? Like when it's about the storm,
you can smell the rain before it even comes.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Is there stuff like.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
That all the time? I mean, uh, you know, they're
typically what happens is the storms they begin to form
late afternoon early evening, so that's when you can you
can start to you know, you can smell. It's it's
absolutely fascinating and there's a purity about it, you know,
there is uh virtually impossible to define, but you have
(28:20):
to sense and uh and feel and you know, I
remember once we were out in one of the we
were out on the planes, you know, standing next to
a farm and these cows were over there, and all
the cows came over to take a look at us,
you know, and so you're you're mixing that smell in
and at the same time you can you can smell
uh oh it. We were once in a lightning thinking
(28:44):
you could smell the ozone. I mean that, you know,
you could smell burning. I mean it was it was remarkable.
So but anyway, coming back to it, it's all about
interactive strategic positioning. Okay, this is what the tour directors
have to do. And they have their charts with them
all the time, so in the van, so they're always
keeping a close eye. And I tell you, Lisa, I
(29:04):
have dealt with leaders the world over. This is where
my professional curiosity was aroused in the fact how these
men let from the front, men and women, and they
did it with integrity and humor and never give up
model and while maintaining safety, they always maintained and that
(29:24):
you know they of course, I mean, these guys have
been doing for thirty years. So there's this intuition you
know that that they that have. You know, animals work
by instinct, we do, you know, we work by developed
instinct called intuition. And you could see the you know,
the professionalism in these people so so much for the
setup and so basically what happens is you travel from
(29:45):
place to place wherever the storms are, you know, they predicted,
and then at the end sometimes they chase into the night,
you know, into late night. Now you see the lightning
storms that are that are going on. But it can
also be heartbreaking. Like in the I met a group
of people coming in. They were just leaving, they had
spent they'd been out on eleven night tour and these
(30:06):
are all the soul is lightning, that's it because the
weather just did not help. So there are also sometimes
you have to go through positioning days and what happens
is what I mean, you know what they'll say, Okay,
look we think they you know, the next day after next,
we think there's going to be a storm here, so
we're gonna try five hundred miles just a position. And
now it's a relaxed day. You have time for leisurely lives,
(30:30):
leisurely dinner, and that's not what you're there for because
when you're in the chase mode, it is all about
grab and go, you know, grab your dinner or grab
Sometimes you don't even get the time to do that,
and then eventually you you'll stay, you know, they'll find
a motel for you at night out in the middle
of the boonies, right. The but that in itself is
in the thralling experience because you're going into the unknown,
(30:52):
you don't know where you're headed. It was a lot
of fun. So that's the m So let me let
me not tell you a little bit about what happens
with the journey. So, as I mentioned, the storms typically
occur late afternoon to early evening, so it's not a
rush rush rush, right. So in the you know, once
you have the daily briefing in the morning, people, then
(31:15):
you have time to relax, listen to music, meditate a
little bit, you know. And what was very interistic to
really is is that when I first met the people
and they're total strangers, right, But now you're within a
confined space and you have to you know, there's an
adjusting mechanism. You know, you're starting to get to know
the people. And what was amazing to me was that
(31:39):
the conversation of three movies came to light just you know,
on an ad hoc ad lib basis. So I don't
know if you've seen the plain strings and automobiles, city slickers,
you know, with Billy Crystal when you go run around.
You know, I think somewhere in Texas playing you know,
they were playing cowhands. And also the the Breakfast Club,
(32:01):
you know, where the five youngsters come together, you know,
and you know for detention and they become firm friends.
And it's amazing, Lisa, that when you were interconnected through purity,
like some of my greatest friends today are storm chasers.
You know, it's it was, it was so it was
so unique to you know, to to just be able
(32:22):
to take part. And it's so different, you know, through
everything that you're doing. So let's talk. Oh, I'm gonna
tell you this. So along the way, you know, they'll
give you convenience, per stops. You'll you'll you'll suffer on
little little towns. We stopped in one town, Lizabeth, there
were seventeen people, that's it, right, And there was a
there was an old library. They opened it up for
(32:43):
us and a couple came out and the hand being
married for seventy one years, right, And you know, the
the question always came into my mind, was is it
possible would I even be able to live there and
more or less that the answer was no, I don't.
I don't think I would be just too remote for me.
But it was very interesting to see the dynamics and
(33:04):
how they operated. For example, you know, how do they
have medical services? Where are the medical services? Right? If
somebody falls sick, but of course everybody, you know, everybody copes.
So let's I'll move on now to the to the
to the sites. It's up right that that we saw.
And I'll tell you know, I sent you a picture
(33:25):
of one of those great super cells. You know, that's
you know, coming at you, but buried in my eternal memory.
You know, they say true, you know that some people
believe in reincarnation, some believe in one life, and believe
in two lives. However, lives many lives that I may,
I may live. It just burned in my memory, the
(33:45):
site of three super cells, back to back, and they were.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
You send me that photo. Do you recall that My initial.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Thought was that I was looking at a mountain that
was in a bog it looked like and now in retrospect,
I think I saw the energy of the power of
that those cells together combined into this shape of like
a powerful mountain.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
But that's what I saw when I saw that photo.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
The energy, there's some of the most beautiful, like like
once we were traveling and we saw a mid size
storm system and the rain was coming down as patterns
like wave patterns, and Lisa I was standing there in tears,
and somebody told me later that he was in tears too.
He said it was just so intensely beautiful. But you know,
(34:42):
the point was that what was remarkable about these threes
super cells was that they were about a mile wide.
These so we must have been about twenty miles away. Incidentally,
it's very difficult to gauge distances, you know, when I
saw the twin tornadoes, I thought we were two miles off,
but they told me later, no, it was five miles.
Very very hard to gauge, right, But what you could
(35:03):
see was, and this goes back to your question that
you know, what did you sense when you went up?
You could physically see the energy transferring from one super
cell into the other. So and how you could tell
is that first the first super cell strengthened, you could
see the structure like a mothership stortada form, and then
it began to break down and the second one started,
(35:26):
you know, to to formulate, right, and then the third
one and then again it passed over. Incidentally, when they
chase they only like to chase isolated storms because somehow
these when you have a line of storms, they tend
to break. You know, you don't see tornadoes. It tends
to negate the effects somehow. And the other thing, Lisa
is it's a lot harder to see a tornado than
(35:47):
it is to see the Northern lights because it takes
a very specific set of circumstances. They're very technical terms
right on how alternatory Yeah so, but but the point
is that you're seeing some of the greatest sits still,
you know, on the planet. And I, you know, I
want to tell you about something that and I sp
you know, I researched this over but it's a throwback
(36:09):
to my youth, right when I was just past the
toddlest stage. My mother had once taken me out to
see a great storm. It was at a distance, and
you know, there was a lot of lightning and stuff,
and I'm yelling my head off and she was telling me,
she said, you know, see how beautiful it is. I
sort of remember this, you know, this was over you know,
over a half a century ago, and and here I was,
(36:32):
you know, you know, fifty years later, standing in front
of these great super cells. And that tells you about
the the connected nature of life. How we must I
banish our children, you know, because between the age of
six to thirteens when they're the most impressionable. And you know,
on my my mother, I want to tell you that
she was she was a person very grounded in wisdom,
right like when she was a child, she had attended
(36:54):
a prayer session of Mahatma Gandhi's but she was a kid.
And then in her later years, you know, she passed
away fairly young. She she did charity work with mother Terisa. Now,
now can you imagine can you imagine how fortunate a
person can be to be able to, you know, to
(37:14):
receive this, you know, this kind of knowledge as part
of your growing up and how that you know, how
important it is. But anyway, coming back to the great
uh supercells, it's all about the yin and the yang.
What happens is on one side you see great beauty
and then on the other hand you see great destruction.
And you know, our hearts go out to the communities
(37:36):
who have lost so much by way, you know, of
these of these storms, Like we went into one particular local,
you know, one small community where a rain wrapped tornado
had colored them. So what that means is that you
can't see the tornado coming. It's actually wrapped in rain.
But they think it's just the rainstorm coming at you.
It's actually tornado. And I tell you these are these
(37:58):
are I saw a cart higher on the roof. I
mean it is. It is the type of destruction that
you chase. It is inconceivable, you know, it is just
something that you have to you know, to to say,
oh my lord. And that's why again, you know, it's
a very personal decision if you want to go on
such a chase. But again, do your due diligence. You know,
(38:20):
if you ever do decide to go, do it, do
your due diligence. And you know research these days on
chat libuty, you know, you get all the information you
know that you need. So so that's what And now
the other thing is the energy in the van rights
in waves. So what I mean by that is that
when like we were chasing one storm, because they typically
(38:40):
start you know, late afternoon and then once the chase commences,
you know, you just go, go go. So we were
chasing the stop for about three four hours and it
just wasn't dropping a tornado. So everybody was a bit
you know, they were feeling a little low. And all
of a sudden, you know, we hurt all the cell phone.
Uh you know, emergency starts go on tornado warning and
the entire van erupted in. Yeah, and you know I'm saying, saying,
(39:03):
what is wrong with this picture? Right? Normally you would
never see that, but it was the total opposite. And
then last but not the least lies regarding the sites.
You know, once the storm passes. Now you know we
were we were there once and we were seeing the
mamboist clouds forming and you could see the sun shining,
you know, the rays of the sun shining through, and
(39:23):
you saw these metallic orange, blue, red just all merged in.
And I was standing there listen now you can finally
hear yourself. And I was listening to Hans Zimmer and
arm Man and the likes of Evangelist. And if you
try the combination of music to these, you know, these
(39:44):
are some of the greatest moments right there where you
get divinity in the moment it was. It was just extraordinary.
So any any questions before we get into the conclusions.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
No, I feel like it sounds like an So it
sounds like a movie. You know, you were on this
incredible journey with with all of this different energy and
and a collective group of people that we're all on
this journey together, and and it just goes to show
the power of community and numbers and and how vast
(40:19):
our universe really is. You know, these storms they come
through and they destroy, but the destruction then opens a
path for new growth and development. And I think that's
you know, that reflects how real life actually works. And
just for instance, when there's a fire in the forest,
(40:39):
how that you know, stimulates new growth in the ground
and then it grows even.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Stronger and more vast and more powerful.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
And I just find it so fascinating that that we
worry about such trivial things in life, you know that
that we worry about missing our favorite TV show, when
when you can walk outside and you know, observe nature,
and I think that's the most significant thing.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
So it sounds like an incredible adventure.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Yes, So let me so I compiled just a few
lessons learned right, So I'm just gonna briefly go through them.
So the first one, obviously is the interactive leadership of
these two directors, right, they are leading in the moment,
you know, like the training of special forces the world over.
You know, they train you to you know, they don't
sit back and lament why am I in a situation?
You know, of course in this case it's a managed thing.
(41:31):
You know, you're gone on a chase. But then they're
always interactively working and they do it with safety and
integrity and never give up.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Mon Was there ever any like disagreements between any of
you guys.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
No, not once, not even once, And that you know
again that also reinforces the way that they manage everyone.
You know, they even swap people around in the van
so you get to know each other, you know, between
the two vans, and it's just you know, it's just
a royal you the party going on. And it's the
only time I found Lisa that I could not work
(42:05):
because you know, again, you're sitting you know, you're you're driving,
you know, five hundred miles a day, you're always in
a moving man. You can check emails, right, but you
can't really respond. You can't have conference calls, right because
you know, out of courtesy for the other It was
the only time that I could not actually work. And
of course by the time you get in, you know,
into the into the motels at night, sometimes it's ten
(42:27):
o'clock at night. Who wants to work? Then you know
you're too tired, and then again you know you're on
the go. But again it's a it's a it's a
bit of a backstretch. This is not an easy journey,
you know, as they say that, you know, to achieve extraordinarily,
you know, you have to face some suffering. Again, this
is just a classic example of it, right that to
get to and see those sides, I ended up seeing
fourteen tornadoes in total. I actually lost track, including including
(42:51):
twenty tornadoes. Became too I think about a mile and
a half of a tornado, and you know when but again,
you know it was we were again, you know, southeast.
They parked us and now you you know, you step
outside and we were seeing roughly i'd say, fifty sixty
mile hour winds. It was just fascinating, and I saw
one one storm, one mothership. They later said that it
(43:13):
was actually the size of the state of Kansas. That
was the size of the super cell.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Incredible, Yeah, I incredible. So I get through that. So
the second point is learn to deal with the ups
and downs of life right and again it's the end
of the Yeah, you have to be equanimious because the
energy in the van rides in waves. You know, sometimes
you're high, sometimes so low, and you see all these
vary reactions you know amongst the people that I'm sitting
(43:40):
there like an engineer laughing it all in right, for
as part of the the interactive research. The third is,
and this is a derivative, is if you can get
into synchronicity with the rhythms of nature on a daily basis.
So for example, if you start your day early, right,
and you go and join the birds having a party
outside at six o'clock, and it's also the time when
(44:03):
you know the body is most receptive to divine energies
of the Creator and naturally though, you know, this is
why people the world over lend themselves into holistic activities,
you know, like yoga and the like. So if you
can get into the rism you start your day with nature,
you are you're more than likely bound to have an
excellent day. It really sets the stage for you, you know,
by the time you commence a day eight eight o'clock.
(44:26):
Next one, of course, is preconceptions. As mentioned, don't judge, observe.
It's a you know, we all have this tendency to
go and uh, you know, and enjoy the others. And
if you can develop this extraordinary situational awareness in any situation.
You know what I was mentioning that there's knowledge to
be gleaned out of every single and you link that
(44:48):
with the humility and a gratefulness as I mentioned earlier,
the universe opens up very very interesting corridors of knowledge.
Take your gloves off, you know, lift your pre perceptions.
You will you will find in your fears. You will
find that most of your fears are so transitory in life, right.
(45:09):
And if you can, if you can do that, it
just opens up. It opens up avenues for you that
you could not possibly have foreseen earlier. You know, you
break fear boundaries that oh, I this is what I
meant to be doing all my life. Right, go out
and experiment for yourself. And this applies to people of
any age, you know, as they say that, well, there's
a there's a time to experiment. But if you have
(45:29):
the attitude, you know you can do this at seventy five.
I mean, it's just you know, it's it's really uh fascinating,
how how you can you can develop yourself try and
interconnect the dots of your life. So what I you know,
as I mentioned, what I mean by that is that
if you sit back and introspect. You know a lot
(45:50):
of people go from meditation, but first of all, introspect
on who you are. Right what you will find is
that you probably took maybe probably a set of key decisions,
maybe no more than three or six that shaped your
pathway to where you are, to who you are today
and what happens Lisa, that if you can do that,
it will then lead fraud you in the in the
(46:13):
appropriate direction for all your future steps. And last, but
not the least, Lisa, understand that we are cosmic visitors
in time when when you look at when you look
at this, you know, when you go out in the
great planes and you see how insignificant you are compared
(46:34):
to the hand of Mother Nature. The takeaway for me
was that help other people the best you can move
from the eye into the wei and try and leave
the world a slightly better place for others. And that's
really what you call the miracle of life, that when
people come together to help others, you know, it's not
(46:56):
all about you. But again, it's all about taking personal responsibility.
Because if you want to help on this first round,
help yourself, so and so you know here and this
is when you have to tap into your divinity with them.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Yeah, you know what I'm that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
So many good lessons that you learned on your travels
about life. What comes to mind for me is that
since we are all so interconnected and we're all part
of the same consciousness, tornadoes and storms and nature is
(47:33):
absolutely limitless. And because we're all so interconnected, that also
means that we're limitless, and we're powerful, just as powerful
as those storms in our own ways. And when we
learn who we really are, that's when we can really
tap into our power. So I love how you talked about,
(47:57):
you know, judgment and just letting our guard down and
enjoying the simple things and going on adventures. I feel
like that's what life's about. Yeah, so thank you so
much for being here and for telling your story. I
want to go on a storm chase now. I feel
like going outside. Actually, it looks like it's going to
(48:17):
storm where I live, actually, and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
You should do that, and thank you for having me
on the Jolies. I really appreciate it. I'm big, big,
I must say to all our friends out.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
There, Yes, you guys, you just heard from Deepak parish
are and he has a podcast on our channel and
we are now on megaphone and that is mega news.
So please do not forget to like and subscribe before
you leave today. Just like Deepak said, like, get outside,
observe nature, ground, let's figure out who we really are
(48:50):
so we can really tap into our powers. Until next time,
take care everybody,
