Episode Transcript

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 Munson.
One of the best things you can ever do with
yourself on a spiritual journey is to give yourself a

(00:24):
set of new eyes and do it often. Now, I'm
sure you're like me where you go in somewhere and
you think, oh my gosh, what is going on here?
What are they doing there? Why does this look like this?
To give an example, I was in one of my
favorite restaurants and while I was there, I was kind

(00:44):
of waiting for my order, and I noticed that behind
the oh I dare I say that the checkout kiosk
or what would be their front counter where you would
pay for your meal, they had what looked to be
like a flea shop behind their cash register. I just thought,

(01:11):
I'm sure they don't see this. They just don't even
know that this looks like this, because if they knew,
they would definitely do something about it. And as a
business owner, one of the toughest things is to come
into your space, your own space where you have been
there forever, and see it as if you had never

(01:37):
been there before. And that set of new eyes is
so vitally important even when we look at ourselves, because
we tend to be so condemning that I think it's
almost a protective mechanism that we don't want to look
at our own stuff. Oh, my goodness, I have walked

(01:57):
by this forever, and finally we say I have had
enough and we clean. I did that in my garage
this last weekend, and I must admit I go into
my garage now I think, wow, I actually feel more peaceful.
But in that whole process, how do we get a
new set of eyes? When, my goodness, we've lived with

(02:18):
our own thoughts and our own thinking forever. This is
where other people come into play, because they do have
a new set of eyes, and to meet somebody for
the first time, they're often on their best behavior oftentimes.
Now again, I've been driving and have made an error

(02:39):
and had the window roll down and literally flip me
the finger for over a minute. It did happen to
me the other day, which I found quite comical. I thought, Ah,
there is a message for me and a cry for
love for them. So it's still okay to have somebody
flip you off and still know that you can take

(03:01):
it in the best possible light. However, those little things
in our mind that how did this get here? I
am almost almost but not quite because I don't care,
almost embarrassed about telling you what I did yesterday. So
I'm coming home. I'm obviously hungry, and I get home

(03:24):
and I know that there have been a couple of
people enter the front door of my house. And when
I get there, I don't have a keyed again because
normally I'm parked in the driveway or in the garage.
And I go to the front door because I don't
park in the garage, and it's locked, and so I
have to knock. And it's not a big deal, but
it's almost like this feel of inconveniencing somebody else, and

(03:45):
it's like, why do I have to inconvenience something somebody else.
I could have just parked in the garage and been done.
And yet I come in. Instead of saying hello and
I love you and how are you? I said, why
is the door lock? Now I didn't say it's snotty.
Why is the door lock? You know? I simply said,

(04:06):
why is the door locked? I am confused? You came
in the door, You're going to be leaving soon? Why
is it locked? Are we concerned of something coming out
of the house or going into the house? And again,
all these thoughts rush in, and they tend to bludgeon us,
and all of a sudden you realize, these are the
little things that are lurking in your mind, and so

(04:29):
how do I have a fresh set of eyes? The
fresh set of eyes is often not something that you
can produce at the moment of a so called failure,
like asking why is the door locked? But you can
have it immediately after when somebody calls you on it

(04:49):
and you say, I'm sorry, I was a bit wrapped
up and caught up. And then you can go about
later when you're in a calm place, to be able
to say, why did I want to attack my own
self in that moment and then project it out in
a nice little covert, seemingly covert comment like why is

(05:13):
the door lock? And so as we begin to look
at these little aspects in our life, we can take
any one of them and produce quite beautiful change and
realize it's okay to ask for help, It's okay to
have a door locked. It doesn't matter if it's locked
or unlocked. It doesn't matter if somebody has to get

(05:35):
up and let you in, or you go instead and
you open the garage door and you go in through
the garage door. It just doesn't matter. What does matter
is your reaction to it, because that, my friend, is
what is inside, and that information is infinitely valuable to

(05:55):
those that are on that spiritual path to peace, to love,
to joy. If you have that path, then these are
the little aspects that you're going to want to take
note of. Yes, it's quite easy. When somebody rolls down
a window and sticks their arm out, the entire arm
out the window and raises the middle finger to you

(06:18):
in salute. Those tend to be a bit more effortless
to recognize. Ah, here is an opportunity for me to
move beyond something. And so I give you that piece,
and I remind you of that piece that you are.
I hope that is helpful today. Until next time, I'm
doctor Troy. And remember you have nothing to do, only

(06:40):
something to see.
