Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a Disruptor's podcast. You're now listening to Words
of Radiance with doctor Troy Munson. Hello and welcome. I'm
doctor Troy. The other day I was grinding away in
my head about something, not appreciating it and trying to
(00:24):
slow the train down and stop it, and I realized,
you know what, it only hurts when I think. And
I was thinking, that's crazy. We only hurt when we think. Now,
imagine if you're out there and oh, somebody is not
(00:45):
being very kind to you. They're out there. But if
you don't think anything about it, and you don't actually
mind at all, and your brain stays still, you don't
hurt you. But the moment that you start running off
with some thought about I can't believe they said that,
can't believe they did that, I can't believe blah blah blah,
(01:08):
and you start grinding away about it, and now you're
in a fit of anger or hurt or mad or
sad or all this stuff. Who literally brought that on themselves? Now,
the knee jerk response of many humans out there is
going to be that asshole person that said whatever they
(01:29):
said or did whatever they did, or thought whatever they thought,
and I said, well, there are many unkind people out
there that are looking for love in the wrong places
and expressing themselves in a very poor way, simply crying
out for love. But if we aren't at least whole
ourselves and understanding that everything that we think we are
(01:50):
in control of, then that means every time I get
mentally butt hurt over something, I'm the one that did
it all. Now, there are badly performing people out there,
like we've talked about a couple times so far in
this very short podcast, and we need to be at
least somewhat understanding that they're there, but we don't have
(02:12):
to buy into what they're trying to sell and pedal
to everybody, which is their own misery. Now, if you're
a fan of collecting miseries, go right ahead. But until
you decide to want to do something different, you're going
to continue to be miserable, but only because you did it.
(02:33):
And so I really want to understand that it only
hurts when we think. And so this whole concept of thinking,
now what do we do? I've spent my entire life
thinking how do I stop doing that? Well, the first
(02:53):
part is to recognize each thought, what are these thoughts.
Where did they come from? That person over there was
a jerk, Well, yeah, that happens frequently, but you don't
have to actually be hurt about it. Yes, but they
were rude to me? Well, who said they were rude?
(03:14):
I did? I decided? All that excellent. I'm glad you
recognize that you decided that instead of saying you could
have said that person is really hurting. That's the most
accurate thing you could actually probably say. But to call
them rude is now that means you decided to be
offended or take an offense. I recommend you don't take
(03:37):
anything from an individual like that. I recommend you let
them have and keep everything they do have, and don't
buy anything that they are selling or doing. Now, if
in fact, you have found yourself having purchased said garbage,
I recommend you sell it immediately and buy back your
(03:58):
peace and joy and love at all costs. And of
course it's going to cost you your entire kingdom, meaning
your kingdom is likely one of I am constantly unhappy
and mad and angry and sad. It's going to cost
you all of that to buy peace, joy and love.
(04:19):
You're going to have to sell the fear. You're going
to have to sell the anger. You're going to have
to sell everything, and then you will know what real
treasure is all about. What is that beautiful treasure that
which you already are. You are not any of these
(04:40):
other things unless you listen to your brain and its
fear and its war mongering and not believe it. But
if you believe your brain, you're going to be in
a fit or a state that is pretty unhappy. You'll
be in a constant state of anger. You might have
(05:01):
some moments of heightened excitement, but even that isn't really
worth it. It is worth it to stay at peace.
It is worth it to be calm when everyone else
is falling apart. It is okay to be completely in
(05:23):
love with life, completely in love with your brothers and sisters,
and see them clearly as they actually are, which is peace,
which is joy, which is love, even though they may
have given all that up for fear, anger, hatred, who
(05:46):
knows what else that has no business being next to them,
little bit of shame throat and thrown in, and a
whole lot of guilt, maybe a little greed, maybe a
little pride on top of it. But you can be
there to tell them these very things. Hey, you may
want to sell that anger. You may want to get
(06:08):
rid of that sadness. You may want to definitely give
away that guilt and shame. Hey, you might want to
sell some of that greed and some of that pride
for what? Who would buy it? One who has nothing?
But then what you buy is the peace of mind
(06:28):
that you've always wanted. You buy the love that is
effortless and continually wells up inside of you, and then
you can effortlessly give that away. These are the things
that are more valuable than all those other things that
your brain would try to hand you. And then you'll find,
(06:51):
when your brain is at peace and you have mastered
your thinkingness, that all of a sudden you'll realize what
many of us have realized. That safe is the man
or woman who is in complete control of their own thinking.
And how could that person be harmed when they know
(07:11):
themselves so well that they know the truth just like
the back of their hand, and they aren't willing to
sell that for anything, They'll give it away because in
giving away the concept of peace, the concept of love,
the idea of joy, the idea of the infinite presence,
(07:35):
of God and everything that is all around us. When
you give that idea away, it actually grows. So if
you really want your investment to grow, give it away
all your love all the time and watch it just
continue to keep boiling up. If you're confused by all that,
(07:56):
ask yourself this question. Last time that you gave an
appropriate gift to somebody that so appreciated it, how did
it feel? It feels amazing and it doesn't stop because
you get to recall that feeling as often as you want.
And that person that's living in a state of gratitude
(08:19):
by what you did for them or to them or
help them with, they have a sense of love and
well being for you as well. It grows, my friend,
and grows quite beautifully. I hope this was helpful, another
look at how thoughts tend to hurt and how letting
(08:43):
them go tends to heal. Until next time, I'm doctor Troy,
and remember you have nothing to do, only something to see.
