Welcome Welcome this to simply King podcast and **** boy Rodney Perry King himself. And you just tuned into the soul fully conscious podcast for humans, Simply being humans. And today is a special one. Today is literally, today is the six year anniversary of the simply King podcast. Yes, and I didn't want to take to, I didn't want to take too much time. I wanted to specifically make this episode, one that was um not only I won't even say just brief, but one that got straight to, you know, the meat and bones of the situation because yes, this is celebratory mood, but I do want to highlight the significance of this time in my life, this time, of my creative journey, but also um West to come. So um thanks to all the people for, you know, sticking with me, you know what I'm saying? If you've been, if you joined uh and started subscribing in the first year, second year, third year whenever you did, uh more than anything, I want you to understand that it's bold as ****, to put yourself out there for any type of judgment, but you don't even know if you're putting **** out to this void, if anybody really gonna care for whatever you do. So it feels good, it feels great um to know that I'm six years in these people who still giving them by me saying whatever the **** I got to say. So today is gonna be a celebratory introspective, a good time, you feel me and not even for a long time. So I have here with me I have here with me to friends, Two good friends of mine who came into Chicago. Uh you know, right, at a very interesting time. Um I have here with me a long time. ****, It's been 10 years. Well, yes, but august, yeah, august of 2011. Yeah, I have here with me. I have here with the uh, the incomparable. Did it collected, right, it collected and extremely talented. Uh Benny Roosevelt remmy roz would a million different Monica's? Yes, yes, yes. And I also have a new friend that I'm truly, truly getting to know and coming becoming more and more closer to with every experience and every time we share space I have here with me, my boy Harris, I'm not even gonna try to say your last because it's uh it's gonna hurt me. But coming from all the way from the bay on your cross country trek back to the christian, you feel me? I have my boy errors here with me um who's definitely extremely talented and creative in his own right as well, but we're gonna get right into this. I wanted to know what do you all know about the number six when I think about the number six. What comes to mind crips why? Because that's what I've always associated with, especially growing up since been, It's been crips and 60 crips and 60s, that's it, but outside of that, I know The what is the with 6 uh what is it? That makes up an Adam, six neutrons, six electrons, Six something else? Like, you know, it's a part of your at your actual DNA I think it depends um the type of molecule it is because it's different for each one, but I think it's an adam for adam, it's different for each one. We got different atoms for each, each type of thing. Like what this is made of. Maybe this meaning, what I'm saying, protons this many electrons, but it's not all, everyone doesn't have the exact same amount. Some things are more massive than others. So they have more mass than the others. So they got to have more more electrons, more neutrons, more protons, Which is just positive energy, negative energy and neutral energy. It was carbon. That's where I think it was 66 protons, six new Toronto six electrons. Car. Yeah, but that's what I've been thinking of. Yeah, we all made out of carbon. For sure. Carbon is the most things. Yeah. All things Not all but Yeah. Oh yeah, that's not how the world works. It's something that doesn't that's how it's being. Oh, what about you, when you think about the number six? What immediately comes to mind is the perspective from sacred geometry, Right? So, I think about the hex a gun, which essentially is two triangles. Um if you want to go even deeper into it, like, sacred geometry. Right? So, like, it's like we can go into the esoteric part of it, or it's just two opposing sides, uh not necessarily positive or negative, but just showing two opposing sides most often this is display it as like masculine or feminine energy, but the overall arching significance of the number 66 sided things, six shapes is this balance and harmony, right? And you'll hear that a lot anytime someone brings up the number six, that's why it's so significant. Um That's why bees and the way that they build the honeycombs perfect harmony, right? People could say, well triangle is the most efficient. It's the strongest shape, which is true. But when you're talking about harmony and balance, right? Some of that that that represents uh the mind and the body, right? There's so many, there's so many examples that you can pull from heaven and ****, God on Earth. You know what I mean? So when I think about the number six, I think of complete harmony and balance within all things. That's funny you say that it's non living things that don't have a car, but makes sense. He says 11 things. No non living things like diamonds and **** like that. War, inanimate things. So it's a lot of it got caught um when I was Googling doing research on the number six just to figure out like, okay, what does this mean? How should I approach it? What does this mean for just to show in this particular time and what this next year is gonna be about. I came up with that came to this from a mastermind content dot co dot UK. And it was it resonated and I'll read it to you guys. That's so Lessons to learn from the symbolic meaning of six. Our harmony, balance, sincerity, love and truth. We are required to call upon the energy of the six anytime uhh shoot, I've lost my place upon the energy of the six when dealing with diplomacy sensitive matters. It is the ability to feel compassion and love in any given situation. Um, in numerology, The # six indicates a balanced personality. People who predominantly display features of the six are responsible, idealist carers, unselfish teachers, protectors, charitable and have emotional death. The negative aspect of six personality is that you are disconnected. Hypocritical. Hypocritical. Excuse me, weak, shallow, submissive, restless and easily stress. So and then yes, they even go into talking about him with the esoteric and you know that, you know, sacred geometry and all that I think for me, um, it's funny because I think so much of what this year has been is the solutions to a lot of my things or the things that's been kind of presented to me consistently has been by way of like the woo woo has been by way of like these spiritual things and I really wonder, you know, I guess I'm drawn to it even more now because it keeps showing up Either the people on me, the folks who like the rooms I end up getting into and it feels so, I don't know, it feels so impacted. We feel so resonating and I feel drawn to it a lot of ways to, so I'm not surprised that that is what the six really is. I don't know what the **** drake was talking about, but I don't even know if people call Toronto to six like that, like that, definitely not talking about, definitely not talking about carbon. I don't know what the **** he was. You can laugh at a later because you know, it was fun. No, yes, it was, yes. But, but I wanted, I wanted to, um, I ask you a question and that is, um, I wanna answer to, um, how does it feel like, you know, in this particular phase of life right now, we all are, even if we claim it always in a kind of a state of transition, we're always going from one place to another, trying to go from this stage to the next phase, We're naturally growing, we're gonna get older. Something is going to progress that something always happening, I guess I want to ask you, how is it that you all see yourselves moving from this phase that you're in now to the next, like, I guess, what do you feel like you're doing to, I guess make that or welcome whatever that next phase is, if you know what I already know what it is, you can speak to that too. If you don't know, I guess what are you doing to figure it out? As soon as you have said that? I thought of liminal spaces. It's yeah, it's the definition of it. If I'm not mistaken, I'll be getting mistaken all the time. It's uhh between something that's forgotten and what's to come. So if I can give you like a visual representation over to somebody swinging and when they let go to catch the other swing there right in the middle, that's that's that's the immediate thing that comes to mind. But to answer the question, yeah, it's the building, have consistency on very basic levels because that's something I have not had, Whoa outside of making making art. And now even with that is to a spot where that has to be transition into something else because you can no longer made beauty for beauty safe when you reach a certain thing. I mean at least that's how I see it. All right, So what do you mean? But you can't you can't you can't just be making because I feel like that is um irresponsible if you do have a if you do have a gift of some sort and you're just kind of doing it just for the sake of it being beautiful and not like actually applying it to possibly something bigger, possibly just something else, at least teaching about it or something like that or the things that you have learned through it and actually making that something tangible if you will, something that can be passed on or whatever the case is, they can take many different forms as I like to see it. Uh, but outside of that, within a personal, within my personal life, it's a consistency that needs to be, but I haven't had my feet on the ground like the last 78 years, it's just been traveled and things and letting things fall where they may. And that's been heavily enabled by um, all the fans, all the people that wanted to work with me. Um, because wrong the following while you're just doing the thing that you just like to do, you're enable like **** just to keep doing it and do all types of actual little cool **** in the middle, You don't have to necessarily think about the future, at least in that moment you don't have to like think about because you have everything you have right now and if that's the goal, you know, live on. But yeah, to push to the next phase is to have a certain level of consistency and it's to transition the art or something meaningful because it's always going to be beautiful, that's what I've, so I know how to do is make it beautiful. So would you say the current point in time that you're in now is uh, is that limited space? That space of, you know, the spaces in between realizing the last seven years were exactly what they needed to be to get you where you are now and now you're in that space between from I'm still here, I'm still able to touch that. I can continue a lot of those patterns, but I'm also able to like now reach and there were spaces because of what I've learned from those times. Is that what you're saying? You know what I'm really saying is ****? What say that thing, right? I'm really saying is it's time for a change period. Like all those things are going to be with done and they already have a they're gonna, they're gonna definitely be there now. It's time to do all the things I'm either afraid of doing or I haven't done and because of I was doing something else, you know, because I was doing something else altogether and I wasn't focusing on the things that you can focus on. I feel that I feel that that's still nothing. I still a beautiful way to think about it too. um I think I learned in this past year in 2020 especially is that we damn, there are kind of indoctrinated to believe that we need to rid ourselves of the bad things we possess. Use your bad habits, the bad qualities, uh whatever it is, quote unquote negative, right? And what I'm coming? What I came in, the realization of is that I'm a I'm a ******* kill myself trying to like make myself be less of something that's like already there for so long. And I think it's the intention around the two that I realized, it's like, I don't ever mean to do any of these things that harm me or harm somebody else. Maybe it's not a matter of reading myself truly managing and minimizing the space that that thing takes up. Because if I just allow myself to be, let's save you a procrastinator for instance, and that's something that is detrimental to you. It could be detrimental to people around you if you don't manage that because it's something to let me do something about. And what you're doing about is is um yeah, how can I say uh you need, you need, if you're procrastinating, you need to create your life. So that's what you don't do. If that's your um nature, then what I need to create is, okay, I need to be a better note taker. I need to set personal reminders, I need to um sat down there almost reversed sabotage myself into doing the right thing instead of sabbath. Like, instead of being, you know, reactive being proactive is like, I know how I am. I know I'm the way to the last minute or normal, whatever, whatever I'm going to now call you and be like, hey bro, it's this thing I really need to get done but in a real, you know what I'm saying, lazy procrastinate move? Can you call me every day and just asked me how it's gone. That's all you really need. Like just somebody to really keep that **** on your *** just because you need that pressure even though you have all this time at that point in time, you do that from the beginning more than likely the procrastination won't have any room and if your goal is to get the thing done, but you know, and you're aware of your tendencies, you're going to achieve that goal because you're gonna at least before we're thinking enough to be like, all right, that's what I gotta do to do. This is what I gotta do that. I'm usually not the ************ who used to get **** like this done like this, but I got to try something different because I can't stop being that I just got to grow out of. I gotta grow into better habits and allow for that happened to be a small aspect of me, that's the, that's the lowest frequency of me. That's what I'm saying. What if I stay high if I'm actually accessing and assessing the higher version myself the **** yeah, I'm gonna just do that type of **** you feel me But same question to you areas like we're always in steady transition? What do you believe you are doing now to get into the next one or what phase, I guess? What is the practice of what the things you're doing to understand what that next thing will be or looks like? Yeah, no, I want to go back to mr Rose has yeah, go ahead. Uh liminal spaces where I'm talking about criminality, mm uh My lemon on your Right. And this this concept really just came to the forefront of my mind just recently um sort of like in a more structured way, but an oversimplification of limb analogy, right? This is just my take on. It is like yes, there is this space between transitions from where you are and from wherever else, right? It doesn't necessarily be where you want to be or where you uh where you weren't, it's always just from where you are to somewhere else. And so I think what happens in terms of transitioning into that next space, right? Like that, that liminal space, there's a lot of uncertainty, there's a lot of unknowns, right? And so when people say, oh I'm just I'm in transition, like I'm in this perpetual state of transitioning, they're caught up in that unknown, they're caught up in that, right? Which is the liminal space in order to get out of that, you have to be willing to move on from that move on wherever that may be. And so we're talking about decision making and layering that and adding another dimension to like these liminal spaces you have, where you are, which is the center of where you are all these different life paths that you could potentially take. And you're debilitated from all the from from from all of these decisions because you don't know what's going to happen. Right? And so I think and I think that when I think that when people finally decide on something because you've got true because you got to choose, that's when you are out of those liminal spaces and actually working on those things. Right? So it's like, I mean going back to the seven or eight years, right? So one might consider that a liminal space. Right? And so now you're getting out of that liminal space, making that final step into whatever transition that you were trying to actually be in. Mm So people are really met with these decisions of like, well I can either do what I've always done a k make the same decision that I've always done, even though I know how that ends because that feels more comfortable to me because I because I know that I'm going to inherently choose that as opposed to going into the unknown getting out of these liminal spaces and into the trend into that next phase of my life. So for me, I feel like yeah, these past couple years have been this very liminal space. And again, like we don't even have to use the constraints of of of of a year, right? You can do it on a small scale, you can say 24 hours, 24 hours there are there are there are so many there are so many, literally there's so many liminal spaces in that 24 hours and you could be going through so many different transitions at that local level. People aren't even aware of these things, right? And they just think, oh well My mind is like where I wanna be next year, where I want to be the next 5 to 10 years, you are literally skipping over the progress that you're making on an hourly basis. On a minute basis, right? So it's like moving at the moving at the speed of your own thoughts in that way. We just talked about second to slow down. I'm getting I'm getting into it right? But that's but that's that's really how I see it. It's like it's like right now for me it's just in this space of of the liminal right? And trying to assess the unknown, the uncertainty. But at some point I've got to take a step somewhere right? And so for me what helps me facilitate that decision making process is traveling, right? So changing my environment. And so when I'm able to do that things just become more clear inherently for me right? It helps me build that momentum that I need that accountability that I need that you talked to talked to earlier, right? Just like I just need someone to be on me about this, right? So like what we're really talking about is accountability. Like we're trying to hold ourselves accountable because if we don't have that, then there's no motivation. There's no, there's no Push for us and physically one if we even have a habit cultivated like that, sometimes we need that external force, right? And so that's what you said earlier. It's just like, okay, well we call it the homies just, hey check in with me on a weekly basis, just make sure that I'm doing. But I said I'm supposed to do, I don't want to take over this this whole thing because we can get into it. But that's kind of like a little piece of that I want, I want to definitely uh you know, tantalize folks, you know what I'm saying into thinking about this even deeper. Um Yeah, I think he got it. Um but yeah, I think for me, I feel like I'm, you know, I'm starting to find uh find my intuition, you know, find my intuitive God be able to make certain things clear and um and also ask the questions that I feel like I never asked myself. Um I do believe I've always accepted the idea of being in transition being transitioned on and transformative because it felt like I don't know, I think I've seen not even, it's not even like a pursuit of perfection, just a pursuit of fullness rounded Nous, you know, like I felt like within my own depiction of what being fully developed being a fully realized person is to have, I don't know, a multitude to show for like a truly, like I can do this, I can do that. I'm now this, this old and I now have these abilities. Some may be seen as minor, some may be seen extremely ******* major. Some may be seen as lucrative, some may be seen as just convenient, some may be seen as comfortable, some may be seen as, oh, that's rare. Not too many people can do that or not. Too many people care to still do that, those type of things that I think I was drawn to more than anything when it came to who I want to be. How do I want to show up year after year after year. And I think um I didn't realize how much of even doing this podcast was one that was uh uh, like a method of self accountability in a lot of ways to, because I'm really committing myself to show up in this, committing myself to have and create the type of content and say I want to create, but more than anything, it's a ******* like, you know, a time capsule that's forever being filled up. You know, I'm saying it just hasn't been closed yet. So I'm really capturing how I felt the week that this happened or the week that this happened in the world where was my mind, you know what I'm saying? It's a yeah, basically heavy, heavy weighted diary that I don't even know how many hours I would assume I'm about 100 and 180 episodes. So at this point I've done sure, I can't even do no air math right now, all my episodes been like between 35 to an hour. Yeah, so it's 185 episodes, so that's truly a lot of ******* hours. Uh huh Like almost just about all of them. Yeah, I feel like I started doing the special delivery episodes maybe in year three where I started doing like very specific solo episodes that I wanted to be shorter Because even with my solo episodes I was stretching them shits out to like at least 40 minutes to an hour just because I could then and also just because it was the beginning, I was rambling, I was trying to find my voice, I was trying to you know, get my **** off and be aware of that and I think I now I'm way better with that. I can get to the point. Be concise, be joking if I want to come at a comical if I want to come out of deep, I could do that ****. It just depends on how how I'm feeling about the content I wrote, but what I feel like I like that I now feel like I can do that **** on command and that's how I know progression is really happened and happening, you know what I'm saying, when somebody just hit me up and call me, tell me a thing and I'm able to regurgitate some type of idea based off of some **** that might not even have no connection prior to this conversation, but that's the influence and the inspiration to whatever you say, like it sounds like you want to do it is what's that? Oh, it's this movie for a million blah blah and then the third blah blah, this is kind of what the depiction of it was. Then they go see and they're like, oh, that's exactly what the **** I'm trying to do. So learning that I speak the language of um of creativity was fully realized more than ever in this year to me than any other time. I felt like I wasn't allowing my ears to be tuned to that and stay attuned today and um, and now, yeah, I, I set a goal for myself that the life that I want to live for the rest of my life is one way I can create something new every day and I think for the past several months, essentially that's what I do, something that was not there the day before, I want to make, it could be something I never wrote something, I never said out loud, something I recorded. So um I posted, especially you know what I'm saying. So it's like and I've now figured out ways to satiate whatever that is and multiple multiple the ways I could be continuing on a project and not even consider that the thing that's a new creation, even though you can consider it, that this is progress past the point of what it was the day before, so it's not even the same thing, but I even that don't even count that I still go and create something new or start on something new and it feels good, but it feels like my way of, you know, staying within my own intuitive practices and then also coming into knowledge of these other ones of these tangible things. I think that's why I'm really drawn to my clarity doesn't come solely by um making time for stillness, which I've appreciated that, but I think it's like I can't stay in the stealing is too long, I gotta release, I got to let it out, I got to connect because I think that's the balance that I'm supposed to have within this time. That's that's six, that's that's six U. Six to notice something real quick. It's like this is this is a culmination of hundreds of intentional hours, you know what I mean? It's intentional hours. So it's not just I spent all this time because there's a lot of people who spend time and it be not fruitful, right years and just spend time just busy just yeah just like just killing time, literally killing time for like when you are actually alive with that time, like our intentional with that with that time, I mean this is this is just one way to look at it right, where it's like this is now the culmination, you are, where you are now because of those because of that intentionality, someone could say **** yeah, you said that **** because yeah, just to run down for anyone listening to this for the first time. This held the episode that you caught me on and I wish I could say this is the vibe every single time, but this is special, you know what I'm saying, especially especially yeah, but but I think you should tune in and tap in with me regardless, because I'm proud of the milestones that I made, because it was once, I ain't even, someone might even make up something I even expect to have, you know, I'm saying I didn't expect to have a multiple ************* international guest on my show and I believe all of my international guests found me, which is yes, I will accept your stroke today, So I got episodes from a guest from guest in ************* Australia London, Italy Lagos, Nigeria, my ******* brazil now I feel like another place in South America, you go crazy Yeah, and many more to come. Yeah, so many more to come. So many more new cows to create spaces for it, I feel like it's necessary that we you know, do do just that. Um But the next question. The next load that I really wanted to kind of tap into probably in this particular mode. I have to only two more questions. And that is one of those barriers. Tell me at least the top two barriers um that you feel like you're in your that you feel like you're pretty much in your control to bring down. And then give me too. That I feel uncontrolled uh money management, consistency. Which was two of those first. That's the ones that you feel like you control, control that. Yeah. What the **** out of that? Yeah. What about uncontrolled ****? The weapon? You're a photographer. So it's like, like like for real, right? Um And oh ****, this was mm This is an interesting and I'm not sure why I'm picking this uh other people. Because I know now I really have to expand. It has to be beyond myself. It has to be groups of people that we have to work with to make a project come to life and things that nature. So it's the aspect of controlling. I know well that's out of my control. Like I can give somebody a call time if they don't show up. It's just like, well ****, I can't can't do much with that, but I guess that just comes with the territory. So I'm gonna have to let that fall by the wayside. But another one that I will pick that it's just out of my control is um said at this point in tom uh uh it's kind of an interesting morning that ****, that **** hit that **** hit whenever man that grieving is history right now that you can be chilling next thing you know what **** at all. I can all hit you, you know just like this. So and that's the that's the most human **** ever is hella human, you know um Human it's human to dodge human and more. Uh I suppose what it feels like it has a lack of humanity is how we go about it within this country to where there's there's there's no real um culture centered around that. Like if you travel outside of here then there's a specific, depending on where you go, there's a specific way they catered to death when I say they and it might be what's the good one? Uhh like the hispanic folks or when they have like the other day, don't don't get me lying. They have their today. Yeah. Okay cool. About Mexico uh even in New Orleans, that's probably I think that's the only domestic example of like really great a really great approach to death. Second lines aren't just for you know festivals and celebrations. They make a second line for you whole band, we're talking about a 10 piece bang, we're talking about the whole family everybody got walking and dancing shoes at the funeral and they literally bringing you your, your body in the casket and dancing down the street to where you're going to where your body your spending, you know, the rest of you turning in and so it's truly like this, we already know you're good. You know, you have to shout out to you good. That's the whole, you know what I'm saying. And also to obviously, you know, and I think, I don't know if white people even have re passed, they be eating re pass, what's that? That's what they call like the reception of a funeral car repair. Oh ****, what the **** are you? Yeah. So most people used to eat right after the funeral sold each other, you know, all that. You see it and you've seen it like you probably have seen it in film. Uh yeah, with white for so I guess it does happen. I guess I just never here think about, you know, I don't even know they have cookouts and family reunions. I even think that they did that and that's what they called it like, like a re passengers rushed to eat. I'd always thought people have food after because of how energy consuming, releasing all these emotions can be man ****. Right? So like you've been crying for hours, you're most definitely gonna be hungry afterwards because you're using all that. Yeah, right? Like it takes energy to use energy, right? Yeah. I mean if you're not right at that level then it's yeah, like maybe maybe you might not be hungry, maybe not. Maybe you might not want to eat because you don't got the energy to do it. You literally directed all of its a to the morning to the heartbreak that comes along with it. Right? And so I mean you'll see plenty plenty of examples for that. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's interesting for me. Um No way. Yeah. I think yeah. Harris you go first to things that you feel like you're in your control, that our guests feel like barriers, barriers are some type of obstacle that's in your way. And two things that are uncontrollable that are in your way. I would say the first two for me that is a barrier and I love I love the language being used which is like barrier, right? It's not it's not a boundary, right? I think a boundary some that you said that you that you that you have actively set to be you know wherever it is that you want to be progress or whatever. But the barriers right? Totally ego driven. Um I don't wanna spend too much time on this but it's like that Yeah. Just just the barriers, right? It's like it's something that's that's coming from the wayside. So two big things. One creatively and relying on the external to kind of help fuel the creativity, right? So like that's that's um that I can manage right um any time that you can just create, right, as creators just creating something doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have a certain ingredient list to create or even get to that point where you're actively creating, it's just like, well, I'm going to create something and it's gonna be out of nothing, right? There's no there's no reliance on, oh, I'm I might need a model to shoot, I might need someone to talk to concepts with. This was like, wait a minute, I can do all these things myself at a very scale down level, right? And so that's that's to me, that's that's something I can defend control and it's something I'm I'm practicing. It's like having that larger scale kind of creativity coming with that, that that larger scale creative process and then scaling it down where you can do it all locally. You know what I mean? Like whether that's just taking a piece of paper out and drawn something like you are literally creating something that just that small level. So I would say that's the one bear that I think that I've been really, really focused on that I know is in my control that I could change, that I'm trying to get better at um I really don't have a second one because that because I created one has been at the forefront of my mind um we're talking about uncontrollable was I would say, and sort along the similar lines of at the external, but just like emotions, I would say those emotions are uncontrollable. What I mean? I think, I think people think, well, you know, you can just control your emotions. Like no, I mean the actual emotion itself, you have no control over, right? But manage exactly. Exactly. You can manage it once it's actually being process through like once you're actually processing those things, but the emotions themselves, that's not something that you actually have control over, right? So it's like you're gonna funnel that because you are this hub this this this this great processor and from there, that's where your reactions are coming from. That's where your that's where your response is coming from. So that's why when someone is responding with tears almost, right? Just, just, just heartbreak. So yeah, I had a lot had had a lot of loss this year uh myself and kind of confronting the fact that I cannot control my emotions in that one moment made me realize like, oh ****. Like if you think you can control it, you really are just dimming the fire that these emotions carry. You know whether that's happiness or sadness, right? People to to dim the ones that make them sad or dim the ones that that that can carry sadness with it. And then, you know, pour gasoline on the ones that are that are meant to be happy and euphoric. So for me, it's those, those emotions that I know that I can't control, but what I can do is once I'm processing, I can then choose how I want to respond, choose how I want to react. Um but yeah, those are, those are the two big ones, definitely is that creative, creative inspiration, totally controlled by me. and then the 2nd 1 is just the emotions which before they even get to where I'm aware of them, that can be processed in a particular way. Those are uncontrollable for me. Damn, Yeah, I have to get this. Yeah. Um Mhm. I think um thank you both of you know, giving me that because I think it's it's mad, vulnerable to, you know, express and be honest with yourself and I'm room by yourself. So it's you know, it's commendable. You don't, you know, it's unfortunate that you don't get it that often enough coming from me um just expressing it without any particular, I don't know, any incentive other than just for the sake of getting it out, you know, you're not getting paid to do this, you're not trying to impress people with your, you know, emotional intelligence, it just is what it is and it's right just right for the moment um from for myself, I truly feel like that I am um I think the two things that I feel like are within my control is I think my level of gumption and secondly my anxious nous or or rigidity and anyway, you know, I put that kind of together, like because I feel like I've seeing my own anxieties be rooted in the things that I'm afraid to do um or I already have a belief that I've been so strongly in for so long and I'm realizing how, how much of that it became a part of my programming and something, I just stick to it and it eventually starts to nag at me like, hey, why have you always thought this thing? And it could be something as small as, you know the way the way I feel about a particular food or anything, It's like why have I remain rigid on these things? Why have I remain? And how does this rigidity of this pattern of rigidity in myself affect other parts of my life? What else am I like? Not just immobile on because I've always seen myself to be mutable, I've always seen myself to be a person that can be flexible, but the things that are really, uh not working for me, it feels like the doors that are need to be in, didn't need to go through, I can't get through them because I'm so blocking, I got corners, I'm shocked you feel me, I'm not even rounded enough to be able to curve myself into this door If I can't go straight into school, we just curve on in here if you know, just just to give a visual, I guess like if it's a big square thing with corners and you can't do nothing but scraped the side, you're gonna go through this door with some with some, you know, so mix, wow, yeah, if you're around it, have a sense of give ab and flow to you, not, not to the idea of just being quote unquote soft, but you, you give you bend so that you can get through this thing and be renewed and be new, being in a whole new region of yourself and reach higher the uncontrollables are really, uh, the changes within the world right now. Um, I think I am in the business of not only I'm in the perspective and media business, so things change very often about mass media, things change very often in terms of perception, I think I've noticed myself over the years to be able to recognize when I am um emulating some parts of society versus when I'm not, when I'm really feeling like I'm in a rare, rare air, this particular perspective concept opinion and that's why I like to stay, that's why I like to continuously cultivate for the business that I'm in. I want to, I know that there is money, know that there are rewards for having the idea of, I want to say this for the first time, I haven't heard this particular opinion being spoken to and it's not, I'm glad that I'm not getting there by way of being a contrarian, I'm not getting there by way of just trying my best to be, you know, give a hot take, it's like, this is what I feel, I don't think nobody thinking about it like this, and I think a lot of it has to do with me um curating a life that I can really stand in there and be the truest version of that, I'm not coming, I can, I can acknowledge, I can really say what I need to say, acknowledge my bias, say what I need to say, and then give you room to see what you need to say next. And I don't think that that's a space or a thing that people kind of make room for these days, instead they'll not preface not acknowledge their own feelings behind it, just say whatever, and then a ************ push back at them and now they're trying to, now you're trying to figure out why you gotta bring them out their chest a little bit. It's like I needed to calm down. You need to, you know, because it's like you just feel how you feel it is what it is. And I think I've been blessed enough to be able to communicate and for me to be able to tell people things that maybe startling some **** I never heard uncomfortable and for it to feel like it's at least being heard and received. Um so yeah, I think that's when uncontrollable, that say the other one I said to uncontrollable. Yeah yeah. Uh The last, the last question I have for y'all is um what do you believe your highest self looks and feels like, oh sports, ******* sports, ******* sports, ****. Uh break it down from, even though I'm joking, we're saying it's this idea that you can when you are *******, it's like nah, we look we ******* for sport, like we up here working on breathing techniques, like we like we've been out here in the world working out doing our thug, this was getting, getting our **** together, so when we **** is it, look we gotta put all these things to the test and I think my, one of my eyes that really looks like, oh we're going outside for fun, we're about to go climb trees were about to go on like a 10 mile hike for fun. We got to go do all the, you know what I'm saying, because we've been in the gym and ****, trying to like make sure all the joints and **** was good, make sure we can squat and dad let them do all type of little **** so we can go out into the world and just gonna do all the cool **** like skin looking good, feeling healthy and ****, you know um You don't got to worry about no cash because it's like you're already um got all the systems in place, even if there are really simple systems tomorrow? I'm already, I'm, look, I'm eating off of this. I ain't even got to really put too much effort into it. You know what I'm saying? So after that, it's just like, all right, well, let's do this ****, you know? Let me go, let me go. Let me go ahead and take all the things because I really built myself in my own body and spirit, You know, hair long, ****, groomed. And like look at how I feel great. Like it's like you're ready to like a chick ready to do some sports *******. You know, even though it's funny that it does have a little bit of something behind it. Uh, but outside of that, when it comes to art, there's a certain level of being refined to where it's like, it's like, oh no, these motherfuckers put this **** together. Like to appoint the word I as the consumer. Don't have to think about what could this be. It's like, now I'm telling you this is it. This is all the things, but it's beautiful because that's what we were like, free it and making it beautiful. We were very like particular and refined on what the messages, that's what mature look like out here in these streets. I **** with that. I **** with that answer. That was, that was a smooth *** way to say that too. Uh Do you, do you know what's your areas, what you what your higher self looks like. It feels like what do you believe? It feels it looks like Yeah. Uh I like the fact that that many rose has said selves eluding the fact that there's more than one or that there are, there are many variations of that one. Um but one way to look at it, one way that I've been thinking about it is like just this top to your execution of dynamic harmony, right? And so and so so what I mean by that, is that in any given situation, in any given circumstance, Whatever way the scale is leaning, there was just a harmony, right? There's a harmony there. It doesn't always have to mean 50, 50 it doesn't always have to mean, you know, like like this like this dualistic approach of, well, I have this much and I have this much. It's just that at any given time as I'm navigating space, I'm in complete harmony in that moment. But to me, that's what, that's what I believe my particular higher self would look and feel like. Is that at any given time, like just outside of my body, just Any given moment, 2nd just being in that harmony with everything. The mind, my thoughts, my emotions, how I'm feeling, what I'm seeing uh you know what I'm what I'm what I'm what I'm uh feeling uh sensational wise, you know? And you said, am I feel like, I mean I am look at your uh I am I got a taste of, you know, but it's but it's but it's but it's a practice, right? So, so it's not something that that I that I feel yet is sustainable or that I can easily sustain it, right? That's why I mentioned it, It's like this is top to your execution, which is like every moment, I'm just like, I am harmonious as **** right now, like at any given time. So that would be, that would be what that looks like for me. Top here, Yeah, Top ************* tear. Um yeah, yeah, for me, for me, I think I came into that concept in the realist of ways last year And, you know, started reading um the seven spiritual laws of success and I think it helped me a lot, put in perspective how the way that I approached my life, like I said earlier, I seen human development as rail rounding this, what skill can I achieve? What thing can I put on to myself that I'm drawn to, that I have a knack for that could make my overall human experience better. Um and all those adjectives I said at the top of the episode, I think I was finally getting a depiction of how to do that with my spirituality, how to do that with my mindset and my mentality as well, and it felt I was drawn to it in that book, it gives you Mhm. You know, not only does it give you these particular laws and kind of ways and approaches and perspectives of how you think of the world, but it gives you these tangible practices and I think I didn't realize how tangible this was something that really, really resonated with me. And like I needed that sense of like being able to do something because I think the introduction of spirituality just being, you know, pray and let go wasn't didn't feel like enough to me, it always felt like I needed to do something else. And like, yeah, obviously I'm working on the thing I'm praying for or praying about. So it's like, yeah, faith without works and all that type of thing, but I'm like, is there anything else a brother can do? You know what I'm saying to feel like I am being as the most intuitive about this. And I feel like those, you know, practice of meditation and journaling and you know, stretching, putting yourself, you know, uh in nature or the way that you communicate with people based on the decisions that you made, all those different things helped me realize and form what I think my highest self looks like. And I think it's it's definitely an abundant version of me in every single way holistically. I see it being abundant from a standpoint of where all the things that I'm motivated by are in front of me and the rewards are, you know, endless um so that I can do what I want for whoever I want or just for myself. Either way, I could have the choice in that particular domain over the things because I know that I'm I don't know, I think I was just at least given that particular designation, that I'm definitely meant to help people and serve people and be a be an aide of sorts, because it's like, why the **** would I, why the **** with one of the biggest talents and gifts of mind being, talking to people, having conversation if I'm not supposed to already to get people to a particular point and provides a new perspective and connecting, I don't know, vibrate differently. And so I felt drawn to the ideas of, you know, taking care of the world in the world, to take care of you um by doing this, and I think it's a beautiful service of just giving perspective or seeing what's on your mind, that you couldn't find the words for whatever that may be, because you deserve the clarity you deserve to have the perspective that fits this feeling that you feel about yourself, about the world, about somebody else, whatever it is. I think that's why I've always been so close to that, you know, um but also I see my highest, my highest self being, um able to b one and whole with the good and bad of myself and I think um I think I reckon with that because I always feel like any and I am in a high frequency, nothing really stops me, nothing really matters. I'm living in a pair like a paradise that never ends. That's bountiful with all the fruit in the world, everything. And just being in that space always feels good. And it's almost the worst feeling now, I guess is having this regret for staying in that space for so long because it's like, damn, did I should maybe I should have pulled out of that mindset and got back to this or got back into the, you know, the grind of the work or whatever, maybe I did this wrong and I think that my higher self is can live in there, can live in that, live in the understanding that I don't have to self sabotage the well is going to bring me new challenges on its own naturally just because of how things change and how the journey goes. So I'm gonna fill away about myself. I'm never gonna get to a point where, you know, I can just turn off emotions. I'm just living in this nirvana perfect type of world, just because that's the one I curated for myself. I think it's more so making those things more um being intuitive about them and being prepared for them, you know, it's like, I think I need to sit down because I don't know what's about to occur, I need to sit down because, you know, I don't know this, I maybe need to, you know, be a little more active and be a little more of this because I'm actually guided with some inner knowing more than I am just allowing the world to just happen around me and I contribute minor and major league. So that's what I see. You know what I'm saying, That's what I see my higher self being and it feels great to feel like that's who I'm about to truly be introduced to. It feels good because I feel like that's, that's where I need to be. That's why I need to go wasn't anything. Um, but I think we can wrap up this young celebration. I went a little bit longer than I wanted to, but we're good because we're making great time. But I want, I want everybody who's listening to understand that, you know, like I said, this is the soulfully conscious podcast humans simply being humans and I want try to really understand that that tag line probably came in maybe year two, year three, I believe I want to say you're too. And just for me, the human experiences with the only thing that we can truly control and if you personal beliefs in the presence then, um why not have the best version of that, why not? You know, live that up so laugh analyzed love, you know what I'm saying, fall in, fall out breakdown, come up whatever it is because it's all going to happen um and it's cool because you're just simply being human, you know? Um The last thing, oh the mice ended on portion of the episode, which is one of my favorites because that means it's the end, but also uhh it is a call to action. You'll hear great sounds of d'Angelo right behind my voice right now. So I hope you know what I'm saying? You ain't hope that you ain't listening to this late at night. This might get you. It's my get is that what they're the voice both together is what I'm saying. Nevertheless might get you. Yeah, so I'm stupid. Uh my sending on is actually a homework assignment, right? Give them homework. I want you to write down how you are in your own way. Uh And I hope that you shared with me. You can hashtag yeah, I'm hoping I want them to do it, but you can share it as well um with me, at least for me at least you can hashtag Yeah, you can hashtag simply human and just you can post it, you can give a little snippet and I'm definitely share mine as well. Um share mine as well on my story or just in a curated post doing some human **** because they don't gotta be any more complicated than that, you know? That sounds like it just, it just be human, like a real human, What does that mean to you, you know? Yes. Alright, alright, yeah, but that's that's all I have, I want to thank you all for uhh hold up, I got a call that that's what this part about me, you got to wrap it up. It is, but it's that's how I go, I have a deposit so many roads and areas, I want you to let me know, I want you first, I want to thank you for doing this with me bringing it in anniversary, you know, I'm saying episode, But in addition to that, I want you to tell the people anything that you would like them to know any call to action that you would like to give and then uh yeah, uh huh I would like to hit this **** of simple um uh huh How about this? One of when a boxer is actually doing anything and throwing jabs and punches, they're not thinking about, I'm about to hit this ************ little right? It's already an intuitive thing, they're thinking it and they're doing it. It's this idea that when you try to hear something too much, then you kind of lose that ability to hear, like if you stare at something long enough, then you can start to see your vision like going and like it's a very interesting thing when we're trying to do something, so I say you do it intuitively, you know what I think a whole bunch about it because your brain is already wired to do all type of cool ****, you know, it's the consistency of this boxer constantly taking jabs at the back. So by the time you go to fight, it's already mom muscle connection, you know, so get into that bag, make sure you're doing something on a very consistent basis of all the time. You're, you know, it's time for you to show up and show out you already in tune you already in that moment. You already trust yourself. That doesn't require a whole bunch of talking ****. The only amount of doing that it is that is that is actually going to cost us something consistent every day because we can't show how bright we are when all the lights are on. You feel me, it's just in those dark times, that's how we can like, we can show up for ourselves. That's the bar bar bar, you said it was simple. That was that was really, yeah, it's really simple to me what they use. So, so I want to come back to this, to this, to this decision making process, right? That we talked about liberality, right? And this could really go and be applied to really any situation that a person may maybe in when it comes to making a decision, when you're met with that unknown and that uncertainty, write your initial instinct is to kind of go to your comfort zone, right? Be comfortable, right? And and a lot of folks say, well, you know, I'm just trying to get comfortable with the with the unknown or what the outcome was like, I mean, you can't really do that because that's that's that's that's that's it's part of that new experience as soon as you become comfortable with it and no longer becomes unknown and can never be unknown again, right? Like if that's what you're trying to be comfortable with. So the unknown of the uncertainty is part of the process, that's part of the growth. So I am calling out for people to even if you don't know your next decision whether it's right or wrong, you know, like try to try to reframe your mind and to not think about it is right or wrong. It's just listen, I was doing this, this is what was happening, but I need to do something that I need to decide on something else and it can be anything else despite the consequences, despite the risk, the associated risk to it and choose, choose that right, choose differently. So a lot of people say, well, you know, like I've grown a lot, it's like, I think, I think a good indicator that it's like, if you're choosing differently, even if you're not choosing the way that you want, right? Like that's that's ultimately, that would be great if we could choose and be like, you know, this is exactly what I want. I'm choosing what I want. So call to action is really just just try choosing differently and you'll see that the host of opportunities, the host of uh new decisions that you can make, are there right? People, people always kind of kind of scared of all. If I choose this way, I can come back or I don't want to deal with the time it takes to come back because I had already gone down this road. You don't have to go and stay on that same path. You can continually trail blaze your entire life. You know what I mean? If you do it that way. Um, so I would, I would, I would draw a, yeah, I would, I would encourage folks to give that a try. Right? I think people get hung up on Hubble. It's not the right decision or it's not the best decision. It's like, well, it's a decision, it's a decision and it's better than not deciding at all and being stuck and being where it is that you are right now. So I'll leave, I'll leave folks to ruminate on that. Hey, come on, ruminate. Come on, ruminate. Um, I hear that. I appreciate y'all I really do. I think that was a good, great call to actions. Everybody. I think y'all need to tap in with this. Uh, if you don't know, you should know, you can stream simply can't podcast everywhere, podcasts are available.
