Speaker 1 (00:03):
You're listening to doctor Troy Munson's Words of Radiance. Now
here is doctor Munson. Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy.
It is often that I will be looking at some
of the mundane, crazy things in this world and I
start to think some very weird, wild things. And while
(00:27):
this is one of those instances, it is it is
fun to walk down this path of light and begin
to dissect everything and question everything. Now, some people out
there don't mind questioning. I love to question things. Other
people they don't want to do that, And that's okay.
You don't have to question things. Honestly, you can walk
(00:48):
this path of light in complete peace and joy. But
I find it kind of funny, like, oh, you know,
we were taught when we were little to eat with
our mouths closed. Yet you see a little child, and
what do they do when they start. They're just chewing
with their mouth wide open because they don't care. They're
just comfortable being them. They run around, they scream, they
(01:13):
do weird things. They do somersaults in the middle of
the grocery store. Imagine if an adult did that, we
would walk clear around them and try to avoid them
at all costs, and definitely do not make eye contact.
And yet we're told to be what even in Christendom,
become like little children? Do not assume you know the
(01:33):
best of everything. And so as we enjoy our food
with our mouths open, I wonder who was the first
person that decided, hey, chew with your mouth closed? What
are you some kind of animal? You know? And they
put their own guilt and shame on another person to
force them to change to their ideas, their comfort level.
(01:58):
I find that interesting. And there's this concept of what
do you do when no one's looking, when behind closed doors?
What do you do? And I think I'm gonna chew
with my mouth open. That's what I'm gonna do. And
yet people out there might be like, oh my gosh,
doctor Munson, he choose dud with his mouth open. It's unbelievable.
(02:21):
And you know, we'd look at that and we'd say,
oh my gosh, what if all people out there don't
want to have anything to do with me. What if
all of you stop listening to my podcast? Oh no,
what a tragedy. And so we have these weird thoughts.
And so now what happens is we begin walking around
on eggshells around everybody we know. I am routinely reminding
(02:44):
my team and the people around me it is impossible
for you to harm me. And I'm not going to
judge you because I don't want to use the same
measure against myself, and it will be unavoidable for me
to do that if I go around judging what you
do and how you do it, I am just not
(03:05):
going to do that. So you may eat with your
mouth open around me. I don't care. So if I
become unharmable and now I become this person who is
safe to be around, what will happen for the people
around me? Will they want to be around me less
or more? If I am completely safe? What if you
(03:27):
find yourself being completely safe and unharmable and you're okay
with everybody that's around you, will they not want to
hang out with you more? Will they not want to
be around you more? Now, it is likely that you've
experienced the individual that you have to walk around eggshells
around them because the slightest wrong word, even a right word,
(03:49):
will send them onto some diatribe or anger or you know,
futile argument or whatever it is. And so do you
enjoy being around those kinds of people? I don't at all.
In fact, some of us will even talk about those
kinds of people. I'm just glad they're not around right now,
we might say. And if you find yourself looking in
(04:10):
deeply and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm one of
those people. You don't have to be one of those people.
And if you like being one of those people, there's
nothing wrong with it. I'm not here to judge you,
but just know that I probably won't decide to hang
out with you very much. It's just not that much
fun for me. I would rather have fun and be
enjoy and peace, which I can do around you or not.
(04:30):
But it seems to be much more pleasant when you're
not around. But most of the people I know, they
do want to do things right. But somebody along the
road told us that we were doing it wrong, and
so we make a lot of decisions based on some
really weird ideas. So begin to look deeply within yourself
(04:51):
and find out what you're really made of, what you
really like and don't like, And it's okay whatever you do.
You just can and simply be you. And if I
let you be you without judgment, and I just look
on you upon with a view of awe, with a
view of pleasure, with a view of delight, and I'm
(05:13):
just happy to be with you no matter what. Wonderful. Now,
if we have simply people around which I actually don't
mind being around, I just know that I could have
way more fun somewhere else, So I don't mind being
around those people. They're few and far between. Ultimately, I mean,
we could take a bowl how many people are really prickly,
(05:34):
and we could try to figure out what percentage of
the population are prickly. But they're okay. They just have
some lies and beliefs that they believe that they're just
not willing to get let go of yet. And that's
okay too. Now a word of caution with this newfound
information that my gosh, I could just accept what I
am and forgive myself for all the things that I
(05:55):
think about myself that maybe aren't true or are true
or whatever. But I don't have to like actually judge myself.
I can just be accepting myself. This is amazing, But
a word of caution when you start doing this, if
you're going to use this information to try and change
another individual, I can tell you that it will likely
(06:15):
blow up in your face and backfire, and so you
may want to really not do that. So if you
have thoughts out there, my gosh, wouldn't it be wonderful
if so and so actually understood this and they stop
being prickly. Well, yes, of course that would be wonderful,
but they're going to do it on their own time,
and sometimes they're prickly for us, not necessarily for themselves.
(06:39):
So let's, you know, take a good hard look within
ourselves first for a bunch of time and decide whether
or not we might need to work on ourselves first.
Chances are that we definitely need to work on ourselves first,
and then you get to be this wonderful person who
gets to banish irritation and unhappiness and guilt and shame
(07:05):
and everything else that goes with it, and the fear
and the horse that fear rode in on. You can
banish it all from your mind and now just be
simply at peace and a joy and be happy no
matter what happens, and just be you once again like
you were when you were three or four. So I
(07:26):
hope this was helpful. I hope you became a little
bit more comfortable in your own skin and when somebody
tries to tell you that you're doing it wrong, you
can just look at them and just nod your head
and say, yeah, you're right, and not right that you're wrong,
but right that they're still right, even in the midst
of all the things they think about themselves that are
(07:48):
wrong too, They're still right, even though they believe they're
wrong all the time. And whoever told them that they
were wrong, they don't have to listen to them anymore.
They can let go of that too and just be beautifully, delightfully,
gloriously happy until next time. I'm doctor Troy, and remember
(08:09):
you have nothing to do, only something to see.
