Let's kind of discuss some of the mind viruses, you know,
and the spiritual warfare that's kind of like thrown at
us on a daily basis in societal maya, because you know,
there's there's quite a few mind viruses out there, and
(00:25):
you know, I'll say, I'll say the victim mentality and
cancel culture is one. So if you don't mind, just
kind of give us a little bit of a highlight
of what you were talking about in that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah. Well, I mean, for one, I think it's we're
kind of in a place where everyone is constantly attacking
everybody else all the time.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
And what I was.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Talking about in my video is that we have this
collective shame that we just have not dealt with. And
for a lot of people, it's religious shame. But then
there's also shame where if you say, you grow up
and you have parents that are are very woke or something,
and they're telling you that it's bad that you have
(01:07):
white skin, and then you're internalizing this and so it's
I think that on either side, it doesn't really matter
if it's left or right, there are going to be
some manifestations of shame that are coming up in people.
And so what is happening is we've learned that shame
is unsafe within society. We've learned that it's if something
(01:28):
is shameful, it means we're going to be cast out
from the tribe. And this is kind of an evolutionary
instinct that we have within us to know that, you know,
if this if we were cave people and the tribe
cast us out, then we we're not going to have
access to shelter, We're not going to have access to food,
maybe not to water, to community or safety. And so
(01:53):
this instinct still exists within our nervous systems. And what
ends up happening is that we have learned that this
is kind of like this game of hot potato, where
if I have this thing about me that society considers shameful,
I can either leverage it to be a victim permanently
(02:14):
so that I can kind of manipulate the situation around
me in my favor. So this would be like if
I were to walk around all the time saying that
I deserve special treatment because I'm a lesbian and then
I'm refusing to heal from the conversion therapy and things
that I went through because I actually want to use
that to emotionally weaponize against other people to kind of
(02:37):
get what I want. Or the other side of that
is I'm not going to hold the shame and have
this victim mentality manifest that way. I'm actually going to
manifest it by throwing it like a hot potato onto
someone else and forcing them to receive it as this
kind of collective scapegoat. And so then they are collectively
receiving the shame in this kind of really sick Orwellian
(03:01):
mass ritual where it ends up really being like the
two minute Hate in nineteen eighty four, where everybody is
projecting so much hatred and energy at a specific person
and then we feel relieved. Right collectively, it's like, oh,
we have publicly shamed this person, We've put them to shame,
we have said that they are unworthy for whatever reason,
(03:24):
and we're not actually creating the change that we think
that we're changing. We're just kind of putting the spotlight
on one individual because it makes us feel like we're
getting something done. And so we're either a victim in
the sense of I'm going to leverage this into identity
politics to try and get whatever I want that way,
or I'm going to be a victim of you, this
(03:46):
random individual who has said an opinion that I disagree
with or tweeted something in twenty fourteen that was offensive
to me. And now I'm going to hot potato this
shame onto you, and everybody's going to do it collective
so that we don't have to face it within ourselves
and actually look at where we are at a deficit
within society.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I absolutely love what you just said, and I have
something I want to say that but real quick, a
couple of things from the audience, So we have Phil
came in cosmic voice said, in referring to the addiction
aspect of our evolution, I believe this also we forgot
that we are a fragment of Creator God. Definitely agree
with you there, Phil. And then Don Rogers from our
Sword Productions wanted to ask what would you suggest to
(04:29):
help people with phantom guilt and shame the residual emotions
feel trauma guilt that no longer exists, but the situational
somatic response still occurs.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's a really good question and a lot of it
has to do with rewiring our neurotransmitters to to feel
a sense of felt safety within the body, because it's
kind of like this programming that, as you know, exists
when we're exposed to something again and again and again,
and then the body starts to brace forward and say
(05:02):
this is actually unsafe or there's something wrong here, even
if that doesn't resonate with our values or how we
actually feel about something. And so my personal practice with this,
because I've had this come up with a lot of
different things in my life, is to try and build
a relationship with my body where I feel safe in
(05:24):
the circumstances by exposing myself to them in a way
where I'm present with myself and I'm kind of telling
myself beforehand, I'm going to go and expose myself to
this thing. But what I do is I talk to
myself the way that I would speak to a little
child that's scared. Because when we want to engage with
the nervous system, the unconscious elements within the nervous system,
(05:47):
that's really what we're engaging with. We're engaging with the
part of ourselves that stayed frozen in time at this
specific age where the shame was kind of built up
as this eggregor within us. And so we want to
go back in time and minister to this little child
within us and let them know that they're safe in
this experience, and then expose ourselves to it in very
(06:10):
small ways, because if we put ourselves into it too
quickly or in a way that's too broad, we're going
to completely re traumatize ourselves most of the time. And
also just in general, I think that creating an atmosphere
of safety within our own bodies means that we speak
up about the things that matter to us. We're not
(06:31):
suppressing that voice because the inner child is going to
have felt I couldn't speak up back then when I
was shamed. I didn't have a voice. I couldn't share
these parts of myself but are really important and really valuable.
And so giving those aspects of us a voice when
they didn't have one before, honoring our boundaries when we
(06:52):
don't want to speak to a certain person, not out
of shame, but because the body knows it's not beneficial,
it's not going to actually help us, it won't be
edifying to anybody involved. And kind of learning how to navigate.
I'm going to create an environment of self trust within
my body so that even if something feels threatening, my
(07:13):
body is not responding that way because it trusts me
to listen to its initial cues and to walk away
from something if it's not going to be healthy or beneficial.
But it's also it's also kind of building the resilience
and capacity to sometimes be in uncomfortable situations that will
trigger certain things. But we're doing it intentionally, we're doing
it consciously.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I really like that. And I want to continue to
talk about Shane, but I want to ask you this
as a personal question too, because this is a huge
reason why I am a such I'm a Cundalini yoga practitioner,
and this is a huge reason why I do Cudalini
yoga because it actually Don Don was saying, great answer,
(07:57):
thank you, good peer gold advice. And but that's what
it does. It actually, what Kundalini kreas do is it
puts you through a controlled trauma response. It does, and
it puts you in a controlled setting where you're almost
pushing the body through a trauma response. And also what
it's doing is it's opening up that fascia it's it's
(08:20):
starting to open the fascia. It's starting to release that
stored energy from that trauma. And it's actually what it's
doing is it's almost in some ways it's alchemizing it.
It's it's it's alchemizing it to be used for a
higher purpose. So, like, I don't know if you've ever
had any experiences with any kind of internal alchemy and
if this has potentially like you know, helped you overcome anything,
(08:43):
or you've recommended it to people, because I know in
mystic with when it comes to mystic Christian, I mean,
I'm a huge believer that Jesus was a creed yogi.
I mean you you you look you look at uh
I mean, dude, Mahamara Bob as you talked about him
in the texts. Man, he's even at the Yoga Nanda
Institute as as to create yoga master, you know what
I mean. So, like I do, I'm just wondering maybe
(09:04):
if in your your life, have you ever come across
something like this that has helped you or helped others?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh yeah, all the time. And I mean I I
feel that I often have very somatic meditation experiences where
it's and I also practice medical intuition too, and so
that this kind of ties into my experiences where I
(09:31):
can compare it to to missus, Miss Frizzle from the school, Yes,
magical school school. Like I, I go inside of I'm
inside of myself in this way that I don't know
how to explain. And if I'm doing a medical intuition
reading on another person, that I'm doing this hands on
(09:52):
with them
