Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged
stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in
your present now. To get there requires practice. Each day,
I take one sheet of paper. Just ten minutes you

(00:21):
write about whatever is moving through your moment of what
is right now, with absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking sharpens
your skills as a listener, as a communicator, and as
an activator. Learning how to trust what is right now.
This is stream thinking today. We're reading from June twenty fifth,

(00:41):
twenty twenty three. A little deep, A little deep, and
you may get lost, but that's why we have replay.
But it does go into an area of thought that's
going to challenge your beliefs in what is right now
versus what you have been before this moment of now,
locating the visibility of what's invisible, Locating the visibility of

(01:05):
what's invisible God for an example, I constantly hear people say, well,
if I don't see him or her, there cannot be now.
There's no judgment here. Remember no judgment to see him
or her is but a wish to identify. See I
live in a forest blessed with beautiful trees and all
other living things. You know, deer, snakes, rabbits, hawks, and owls.

(01:28):
To watch them is very spiritual to me. It's a
gift that I see by way of identity. It builds
strength in my ability to believe without having to see.
You know, knowing versus not knowing the words in a book,
something that tells a story. Think of it as an identity.

(01:49):
Does it really have to be seen to make an
impact on our paths? Have you ever walked on rice paper?
The weight of your being will rip that stuff toads.
You see through identity in the ways that you can
reteach the way you step in other words, do you
have to see it to believe it? I think that's

(02:11):
one of the reasons why I'm a daily writer, because
I have to be able to see my emotions on
that page every single morning before the world starts, and
then I'm able to take those steps forward. It's helped me.
If you look at your life as being that of
rice paper or concrete or granite rock, and you think that, oh, well,
nothing's going to hit me, then it probably will hit you,

(02:33):
and then when it does, then you're gonna start watching
your steps. A life changer for me was July twenty first,
two thousand and nine, a heart attack at the age
of forty seven. I didn't see it coming, neither did
anybody else. I was getting ready for my third degree
black belt test, and all of a sudden, I stepped
on rice paper and my steps rip that rice paper

(02:54):
to shreds. Getting the identity is cool. It makes you
feel confident and you have that security inside of you
saying I got this. But it's those moments where you
step on that rice paper and you hear the shredding.
Then you think, where do I go next? How do
I grow next? Let me revert back to my past

(03:16):
because I know how it played out. And that's one
of the reasons why people don't like to grow forward,
because they're afraid in their own way of reaching newer
levels of self, or it's the people around them that
don't want to see the change that happens every day
by way of weight loss programs. Oh, I'd like to
better when we could have ice cream? Oh? Come on, man,

(03:39):
can't you just give yourself a forgiveness day? Just one time?
Give into it just for a moment, and then it
starts all over again. In fact, Ozzy Osbourne's wife Sharon,
she lost so much weight because of these pills that
everybody is taking. But she openly admits, I've got to stop,
and I know once I do, I'm going to gain

(04:01):
the weight back rice paper. What kind of steps are
you taking today? And will you shred that rice paper? Now,
as a martial artist, we learn to walk on rice paper,
But do you have the time and do you have
the decades to invest in such a step. I'm MARYL
and that's stream thinking.
