Transcript

hello everyone uh welcome to season 6 episode 42 of the Dualistic Unity podcast um I just had a great moment where I pointed at the screen uh for a little eye that appears when you're recording on restream and it happened at the same time so it felt it felt pretty cool um and I was just uh sharing before this a moment of appreciation for uh a creative idea and uh I shared it with Andrew and and he had heard it before and he was like and I'm like I wish I could take full credit he's like you

didn't make that like no I didn't make that but it was so awesome that I just loved that it would existed and I appreciated it it existed so much that I didn't want to attach anything to it I didn't want to I there was like no desire to take credit I was like no it's really good I wish I could but it's just so good that I just so glad somebody thought of it and it's the uh rothen marketing campaign for the raw rolling papers and someone heard the raw and auth authentic and how the awe of raw

and the awe of authentic are the same and I'm just like kudos to their marketing department and whoever created that thank you because it's just uh it's really cool to see different ideas come to life and and to see the connections that you know are between two things that seem unrelated or untied and and it's just really cool to see that there are many more connections than first uh appear to be the case sure and so uh that's where that's where I'd like to start

this episode absolutely yeah those uh those hidden hidden Connections in a sense but yeah I think that uh it's like that balance between taking credit and taking responsibility for things I don't know as you were talking through taking credit for something I was like yeah it's it's seems like something that seems so important you know like taking credit for you know something you accomplish or achieve and like getting a medal for it and like putting that up on

your wall you feel really good about yourself but then it's like when you stop taking as much credit it doesn't mean that you're not still you know responsible for everything that you do and your life and everything you know everything about your life that you're it's not really on anyone else ever and so the less credit you have to take it's like there's a there's a weight that comes with wanting to take credit for you know everything all the thoughts they have all the any insights anything

you share you know you're interacting with someone and said oh you you know you help me a lot with that and like kind of pushing back against that not like forcefully necessarily but just understanding that you know to help someone it's it's not really you doing it or at least you don't have to feel any way about that it's like you can just do it and have that interaction and you know move on and not think about yourself so much as you're doing it which creates a lot more space to you

know see everyone else you know see other people and you know what they're going through when you're not you know solely focused on yourself all the time yeah but that's kind of a double-edged sword and I I mean this honestly like the beautiful part about what you just said is that there is a lightness to it but and at the same time you you do see people but that means you see what they've been doing the whole time without you being something that they come into conflict with right like a lot

of our interactions with people we stop them in their tracks from frankly running a muck with selfishness and the less that you make it about you the more you start to realize that people just don't notice like they will happily just make it about them over and over and over again and you see it more and more because you're not making it about you and so there still Comes This need to go hey I'm not taking it personally but that's some [ __ ] right there you I'm not taking it personally but I'm

certainly not going to condone that as an action that I I wouldn't do because of this and this and this and this and this you know there's a cons consequence there's a ripple to what we do and that that I think is the important part about letting go is is recognizing that doesn't negate your responsibility like that doesn't negate the fact that you're still a piece in the puzzle you're still a player on the board you're still interacting with everyone and if you just completely be

selfless and and by that I mean just give everybody what they want which is not the same is selflessness I want to make that very clear but often we make the assumption that it is people will just run rough rough shot over you they won't give a [ __ ] they won't even stop to hesitate and would you when you're really caught up in your stuff if somebody's not actively saying no man I'm not going to put up with that [ __ ] you wouldn't you just continue on with what you're

doing that's why consequence can be so useful but that means you have to continue being a consequence you just don't have to take it personally you it is still important that you set boundaries it is still important that you have your space that there are things that you just will not condone will not perpetuate you know that doesn't mean that you're not going to adjust you're not going to have softer edges or anything like that but it does mean that you're going to be

another point of reference you're going to be another part of that environment you know being selfless doesn't mean just laying down it means thinking about the consequence for everybody involved you included because if you're not taking care of yourself to some degree we all suffer you can't maintain that Clarity and so I just wanted to say that you know it's funny CU we we watched that video with the priest where he's like you know you have to die you have to you have to sacrifice

and he's like crying about it and say you don't need to cry about and just just set a certain degree of boundary understand that you are still a part of that like it's not all sacrifice for the greater good by any means it's not even sacrificed for the greater good it's sacrificing the petty [ __ ] that's hurting you you're not sacrificing for other people you're sacrificing because you're hurting yourself that's all you're doing right and it can help to recognize that it's not for some like

large worldly impact it really is for the impact it has on each and every moment that you're living and that changes each and every other moment that everybody else is living accordingly because we're all connected you so selflessness doesn't mean being a doormat I guess is what I'm saying it means just not having as much of yourself as the focus so that way other people can take up an equal amount of space we are all in this together and we should all be considerate of

everything and everyone ourselves included equally and yeah and I think that's the process of growing up you know in a massive way is just how many considerations you're taking in you know because that sense of you know not doing what you want doing something for someone else as you grow up you know that that that net widens that bubble widens the considerations widen and you know as much as it's like life simple not easy it's like when you're being honest with yourself there's a

Simplicity to it cuz answers aren't as complex despite all of the considerations that you're taking in it's still the choices that you make moment to moment and and how many considerations you're taking in as those expand sometimes there's conflicting considerations and and you can't just do what everyone wants because that splits you into a bunch of different pieces and it's like in certain experiences you know there's priorities over one thing or another things you're used to you

know kind of being a doormat for you know throughout your life without realizing it so much and then you start to notice that and and and wh what's left when you're not doing that as much as you're taking in more considerations there can be more of a a balance found but it's got to come from you it's still got to be you know your choice and I think that's that's the difference is it almost like can feel selfless when you're doing what other people want you to do and not

really noticing that like not really realizing it cuz I think that being nice you know being selfless it's you start taking in more considerations and it comes into conflict with a lot of different things and and you try to do everything for a bit try and like hold all those like the example of the spinning plates the guys who hold all the spill spinning plates and it can start to feel like that trying to stay in in control as you expand your considerations it's like

there's more plates and trying to balance all of that and it they start falling off because you understand that there's more to consider you know there there's a lot in the world there's a lot of things going on but it's still stems from you and so there is that sense of like looking at what you know how certain actions make you feel personally and you start to be more sensitive you start to take in more considerations and it's not like that's not that complex

it's certain things you know tie up in knots and certain things you're you're more relaxed cuz you're living your life and you know doing your best and being yourself and expressing yourself as you know as best you can and I think you know that's just the process of growing up is taking in more considerations and understanding that like sometimes choices and decisions they're not going to be easy you know they're not going to be this simple sort of basic thing there's there's a lot of

considerations out there and you do your best but you know you're willing to understand that there's there's a lot there's a lot there and and not every decision is going to be simple or easy but you know when when it's coming from you then there is almost a a Simplicity to it although the it doesn't always I don't know sometimes it can contradict previous experiences there was a a quote by Da Vinci um that the ultimate sophistication is Simplicity and it's because often we're

taking all these considerations about what people want from us what people might perceive us to be what we want what the world wants you know what's logical and where we want to go in our lives we're looking at all this stuff and we come up with dozens of things that we need to do to compensate for all of them instead of just one from moment to moment to moment instead of looking at right but what is the one thing I can do right now that addresses all of that in a foundational

way that addresses all of that even in a subtle or new way wanted way like I can relax oh [ __ ] that's going to make everything a lot easier cuz now I'm I'm not so tense I'm more aware every problem from here on in you know gets a little bit more simple right or at least I'm a little bit more clear and able to deal with it and so it really helps to remember that that you know the ultimate sophistication is Simplicity like what is the one thing that you can do it's

kind of like um so the um archways in architecture archways were one of the like biggest discoveries of the early ancient world like being able to make an archway that didn't just collapse and from that technology they were able to make uh aqueducts and bridges using archways to support that weight and it was all because they figured out how to make an archway that didn't collapse and it was all dependent on one thing the Keystone the Keystone in the middle of

the archway had to be the perfect shape and the perfect weight to support the rest of the the stones that were leaning against it and so despite all the stones being important it was the Simplicity of that one Keystone that actually made the whole thing work and that's what we have to find in our day-to-day lives in Our momentto Moment lives you know what's the Keystone that keeps this you know going you know what's the Keystone that I can apply in this situation that's

going to support everything I'm doing in the most simplistic way possible just not by adding any weight to it right but actually adding not structure so much as a a degree of stability because your life is stable like you'll notice that as you go through your life you're going to make giant fuckups you're going to to hurt people's feelings you're going to get fired from a job you're you're going to get a divorce you're going to go do through all of this stuff

and while you're going through all that there's just so many things that you can start thinking about so many things that you can start trying to take in and you start running around like a chicken with your head cut off you know but ultimately what you realize is at the end of the day you're going to pick up you're going to look at the next piece and you're going to keep going and it's because your life regardless of what you might think is fairly stable you can

[ __ ] up feel bad you can burn your whole life to the ground and you'll still be here the next day we forget that when we're looking at the future we forget that when we're invested in a job or a relationship or a new place to live or a new career in school or whatever it might be like we forget that as we're so afraid of that not succeeding as we're so afraid of that falling apart we forget it's okay you know it might suck but life is going to continue on there is a stability to

life if you stop making yourself so fragile and the fragility just comes from the Panic it comes from the Panic like oh God if this doesn't work out my life is over it's like it's not though it's not and I know that sucks to hear because it is the motivator behind so much of what we do but the fact is that everything you're trying to do right now could fail and you would still be okay to start something again you know because as long as you're here you have

potential so just try not to take things quite so seriously I think is the lesson here I I like that aspect of this as we go into season 7 very shortly just just remembering like at the end of the day it really is just relax pay attention be yourself those are really simple things and the more that you practice them the more you recognize they're the same thing just settle into your life you know all the thoughts are Panic about things that you think are important that ultimately age will show

you art that's why I love talking to old people you know when when something just goes to [ __ ] in their life they're just like all right you know we'll see what's next you know like it's like I'm in my 70s there's nothing left you can really throw at me that's going to knock me off guard at this point you know it's me and death that's pretty much it you know but that that's it as you start to go through life you realize that's always the case you I could die tomorrow or I could die in 50

years am I going to continue to go through the up and down roller coaster of [ __ ] Panic just because I'm overinvestment comes from is is understanding that a lot of those you know considerations that you're taking in all the time as you grow up like you start to realize there more and more of them are all assumptions like so many of those like spinning plates are assumptions and you start you know being honest with people chatting with people and people start

surprising you it's like oh those were all my own assumptions they weren't actually you know rooted in anything outside of outside of myself and you know that that sort of key you know the the archway that led to so many things a lot of times is is thinking about yourself you know in in one way or another and the the actions that stem from that and I don't know finding a balance between that CU you can kind of double down on thinking about yourself too or thinking that you know there's a

right way or a wrong way to be yourself or you know Express yourself or or do something but you start to notice what you know actions are more self- involved versus which ones aren't and you know when you simplify things and to just relax a little bit more it's like things start to become more more and more obvious in yourself you know in in your actions and whatnot and yeah I mean that's that's a big part of the process of of growing up an older person most most old people don't give too many

[ __ ] anymore it's like you become gets easier and easier to be yourself the more real you know the quote unquote end becomes but that's a constant a constant all the time it's like we you know you can have this idea that it's like oh about 80 years 90 years but that's not like you don't get to see what's next you don't get to see tomorrow so you could be just as close to that you know end point as anyone you know it's like it doesn't it does it it becomes more

obvious when it's like oh yeah this body is is deteriorating but it can you know it happens in a moment and keeping that in mind can you know at least help simplify things a little bit at the very least because it's like you don't take yourself with you when you die either like this whole thing that you're you know afraid of you know you mentioned [ __ ] up really bad but we'll blow out of proportion you know just a little thing you know like saying one thing to someone in a silly way or

make forgot to use my coupon at the grocery store you know I forgot to bring something to someone else or tried to make a joke and it didn't land it's like those things are the things that we can blow up into these massive things it's like you're still going to wake up tomorrow and probably no one's going to be thinking about it except for you and and you know that's that's all the time that can go with anything and you start to realize more and more that like oh

this is you know this is it right here it's what are you you know what exactly are you living for which moment are you living for is it some random moment down the road or is it this moment you know which one are you prioritizing yeah and you don't need 80 90 100 years to to think about you know I was like if if if someone died at 30 and someone died at 80 you know they could both feel the same way like I have lived you know I I have I have shot I you know I was

shooting my shot you know and I gave it a good WHL and you know and I I gave I gave everything I could to each of the days that I did have you know cuz sometimes people think you know I oh I need to plan for 80 90 he like no you you don't need to plan for a certain appropriate number of decades you know you don't have to plan for anything you know and even when you are planning and I think about that it's that's just the one choice to now explore and write down

relevant choices that you think are going to come up or or are worth considering but in every moment you're only making one choice it's and so Choice choices are inherently simple because you can only make one at a time and even when I'm thinking about my planning stages it's like yeah but that is the one choice to list relevant choices that's still just one choice even my planning you know in every moment is still down to this to this single experience and yet it it's

constantly shape-shifting and yet it feels like you know there's different days and weeks and you know I'm I'm Different At 20 and 30 and 40 and it's like you know although it seems very different it is just one beautiful culmination of of one Focus one Keystone you know here right now and and I love that that Keystone can be relaxation because that is the foundation that holds the entire Archway up and the archway can be different shapes and and or not necessarily different shapes but

it can be different designs and sizes and made from different materials But ultimately the Keystone for all of our individual experience of arches is the relaxation Keystone or pay attention or be yourself these are the keystones that I found in my life apply to everything else every other decision I make hinges on those on those keystones because if I'm not being myself so many more of my thoughts are about who I think I should be or who I'm afraid I'm not that clouds

everything I look at it clouds every decision I make whether it's about my finances or my life as a whole relationships [ __ ] how I respond to somebody saying hi on the street you like everything is changed by that one simple thing am I being myself you know am I paying attention that's another foundational one you know this is yeah U this is where eart to his Keystone is be present mhm right for Krishna murty it was that the there is no eye you know the eye is

is the source of conflict that was a keystone him these are all everybody looks at things differently but they're all finding a very simple foundational Insight or a foundational perspective or a foundational Choice as Amanda said that changes everything you know it's like when you get up in the morning if you don't first choose to breathe your day is going to be real [ __ ] short mhm you know breathing is the foundational Keystone to your day right from there everything else can continue

but what else do you do psychologically you know what else do you do that isn't necessary where are you choking yourself and stopping yourself from breathing emotionally right a mental breath yeah mental emotional breath right cuz thank goodness physically it's involuntary because I was just thinking oh I would have died so long ago dolphins are one of the species that do quote unquote voluntarily breathe and so I wonder how much you know you know how much of our life is

and and you know just uh and involuntarily breathing like you know it's like we're forced to breathe but we're not emotionally breathing you know by we're not choosing to we're not paying attention to the fact that we're holding our breath MH and we're living a life on one held breath yeah and and that sense of like trying to be something you know trying to play a role not being yourself trying to trying to balance all the plates trying to be something for someone else is again just in a

too but there's not like you don't get the the sense of looking outside of yourself or passing off anything outside of yourself when you're being yourself it's like they both kind of go together and as you become more aware of your your choices it's like you you got nothing but being yourself and it's like why would you try to be anything else it hasn't actually helped you at all through your life trying to be something trying to play a role based on you know

for your assumptions about how someone you know you think someone should see you or how you want someone to see you as if there's control in that because there's not control in that in how someone sees you like people are going to see you how they see you and a lot of times like you know the things that you do sometimes you do you know [ __ ] up bad and things play out in certain ways and people do see you in certain ways but again you can't really know how someone

looks at you like you can't see through someone else's eyes you you don't get that no but it ties really great into the question that we have in our comment section which was do you guys think in your mid to late 20 point in life that you need to accomplish certain things society makes it seem like you need to have everything accomplished by your 30s that ties into that that that like shared expectation that we kind of are introduced to very early on that you

know you're supposed to know what kind of person you are you're supposed to know like what your life is supposed to be you're supposed to have like your life purpose laid out and they give you that impression in like grade school what do you want to be when you grow up yeah which is funny because we're not even a developed person until 25 26 but they ask you at five what do you want to be oh yeah but isn't it funny like the question here is do you think you're supposed to have all of this

accomplished if you have a fully functioning brain and an adult body at that age that's pretty much the bar well done you've made it this far and you haven't died you and then from there you get to Fig I I don't think you really do start figuring anything out until your mid 20s I think your mid 20s are where you start to realize the most important Insight of all [ __ ] I don't know everything that's really it because you'll notice most of your young life you're like I know that I know that I

know that and you never want to admit that you don't know then all of a sudden you get a fully formed brand and you're just like well of course I don't [ __ ] know and now you have to deal with that mhm and that's where most of our our real creativity comes from that's where a lot of our entrepreneurship really comes from I mean you get your your you know 19 20 year olds that are out there you know doing the grind making money doing all that but they're given up

[ __ ] years and years of quality time that they could have spent on self-development this is [ __ ] that's going to Ripple throughout the next two decades three decades of their life where they just didn't take that [ __ ] time and now they can't sleep at night because no matter how successful they are they don't feel like they're enough you know like there's so much to that but on paper they're accomplished because they've got the title and the office and the car and the bank account

balance and and so they are accomplished and on paper yeah but their life feels empty the experience feels Hollow and so it's like you know society makes it seem like you're supposed to have a life on paper but you don't live on paper it's you know it's just insane it's absurd when you think about it you know because people people make relationships and friendships and they and they and it's because of somebody looks good on paper you know oh I don't associate with

people like that oh you don't you mean a a person you know it's funny cuz to reframe this question rather than do you think a person should have a great deal of accomplishments by by their their mid to late 20s I would want somebody in their mid to late 20s to have a [ __ ] ton of failures like I would love by the time you reach you know full adulthood that you've tried so many [ __ ] things that you just learned so much about your ability to try new [ __ ] and that the

failures didn't mean anything about you I think the failures are far more important at that age than the successes by a long shot because the failures are what teach you your value has nothing to do with whether or not you got the accomplishment whether or not you achieved it it has everything to do and you're willingness to express your potential everything mhm yeah cuz that Val values in your head the accomplishments are in your head and like it's interesting because you know

despite that being the best thing going through a bunch of failures it's like that time in life where it's the most petrifying you know to to fail or feel like you're failing or not doing enough like there's it feels like so much on the bar you know in your teenage years through high school you know the time where it's like trying to it could be messing up a bunch that would set you up great for adulthood or you know trying something that's a little bit different

than what everyone else is doing and yet it seems like that bar of doing what everyone else is doing is so that like that's the most important thing is fitting in fitting in and that sense of fitting in like it's really hard to have faith in yourself and and just make decisions for yourself when that priority is fitting into some you know Society you know the soet with the question the all the things you want to have accomplished by you know 30 or 40 or 20 or whatever age it is like they're

all in our head you know and and they all are for someone else it's like they're for you when you if you think about yourself you know and take that time to to think in a certain way that's like a very individual experience if you're thinking about yourself and how much you've accomplished like it's probably rare that someone sits down and thinks about how much someone else has accomplished unless they're measuring thems versus them and and trying to be something better or

worse than this other person and then they're still not looking at all the details they're not looking at all the failures that led to those accomplishments or anything else like they're just looking at the superficial they're looking at enough to validate how they want to see well the Keystone is validation and it's the wrong size guys and there's no like there there's no understanding of like you have no idea what their experience is like you don't know what's going on you know in

their head how they see thems whether they think that they've even succeeded no matter what they say or Express internally it could be a you know nightmare uh the hell storm we might be able to guess that they're not relaxed or paying attention enough to see that they're not relaxed and are probably not being themselves those are some pretty safe guesses that we can that we can you know consider might be a possibility because you know I they they very much are reflecting the same the same

Keystone or the same priority you know this moment this moment is enough this moment as is you know regardless of the opinion and and you know when you aren't relaxed you know you rarely do you pay attention to the stress you know and and but when you do when the attention is caught and you and you're noticing that you are stressed it almost feels like it's uh like you relax there's almost like relief you're like oh I'm stressed you're like oh [ __ ] I'm stressed all

right I'm a little tense it's pretty much you know and then it's like why and then you're like well can't really come up with many good reasons I wasn't being myself I was trying to be something trying to yeah having something else in mind something in mind kind of the question is is that why you're tense or or are you doing that as a result of tension both yeah it's like where does it start right isn't it funny like is it one and the same and I think it is I think tension and egotism go hand in

hand you know I I I I think that you know it's just it's the the clenching it's the fear response as soon as I'm afraid there's an eye yep I'm afraid it's the best eye are you do you know that you're afraid or is that something and how often are is it the things like we confirm within ourselves like oh I'm I'm this type of person oh I'm anxious right now it's like are you like are you really and like what exactly is telling you that you can feel certain things are you

afraid right now you can feel a wave of something you can feel emotions you can feel all these things but like do you know it like do you know that thing that you're afraid that you're frightened you you know are doing a great job that you're doing a terrible job like you you really don't know these things and like even just in moments where it's like oh I'm I'm so tense right now I need to relax or I'm I'm more relaxed right now it's like you don't really think about

how relaxed you are when you're actually relaxed it's like you're doing things you know you're living life it's not oh am I this am I that and then the focus on oh I feel really really tense right now I got to do something to you know relax or to not be tense and like just in those moments where you start telling yourself more of those things like do you know that like are you sure or uh or could you not exactly be sure of that and then you won't at least panic in

response to you know thinking that there's something you got to do about the tension about the you know anxiety or concern or nerve or fear or whatever whatever it is it's like Uh something's going to go how it goes and then you know you go and do something else and there's going to be feelings that bubble up as you do those things too but you don't really know what what they're called you know what where they come from exactly and yeah that just being willing to be on certain like you know

take the next step see how it goes but you know you don't to try and be something for everyone else or for someone else cuz that'll uh yeah you just keep adding plates to the spinning plates and then you know you can't hold on to them forever you start paying attention to something besides all the plates and they all come crashing down yeah and then you may realize that you never had to focus on all the different plates anyway um a couple of them having to do with you know

how you see yourself yeah what you want to be what you want to you know someone else to see you as which you know there's no way to guarantee that either no but I do want to zoom in on one plate and then that's like the plate that's taking things personally and in that you know there's really only one consideration the idea of you you know like we we talked about you know or what has come up in this conversation is like growing up and how you know the process

of growing up can could be described as as taking in more considerations because of accumulation of experiences that kind of made other considerations relevant or or or brought the relevancy of other considerations to the table or to your attention but when you're taking things personally and that tends to be the case or tends to be a frequent experience when you're quote unquote younger you're only taking in one consideration me I'm not getting something this means something like I'm

not getting my way I you know I'm the most important consideration people are not giving me what I want like however we want to what however we want to word that it's basically you have one and only consideration when you take things personally and that consideration is you and only you and so you know growing up and taking in more considerations and the relaxation and the paying attention it's like it's it doesn't feel like a sacrifice to take in other considerations to consider other people

because it is a shitty experience to only have one consideration and you can learn that at any age and so it's just uh I really like the the the reminder that that when you are relaxed when you are paying attention to the state that you're in being yourself isn't a concept it isn't a goal anymore it's just what you are doing in every single moment when you're not trying to do something else yeah absolutely this has been a great conversation I've been really enjoy

doing this and I wanted to Circle back to where we started with the the Renity um specifically I wanted to talk about what was said there in terms of just you know seeing two things that could tie together but didn't and then just tying them together because they make sense and I want to celebrate uh a recent development in dualistic unity and we're going to see this going into season 7 um in that we identified two very obvious things that very much aligned with conversation that we're

having very much aligned with the practice that we're talking about and and in fact the um the ability to make ripples in an environment that is more accepting and does have a certain degree of more awareness and maybe even a bit more doubt and fear that's in there because otherwise what are we dealing with right um karaoke which we've known for a long time is a magical experience that frankly in the right environment with the right mentality can change your

life um and of course the conversation around cannabis and hemp uh that is a conversation that's very conscious very aware very much expanding as it does have to do with mental health physical health the the health of our economy the health of our world our ecosystem that whole thing uh so that's another topic that aligns seamlessly with dualistic unity and I'm so I'm really excited because in season 7 we're going into a lot more of the being high episodes with

dualistic Unity we've got a lot more people from the Cannabis and hemp industry coming to talk to us about what they know what's happening in the world how things are changing which is incredibly exciting and then on the other hand we now have a karaoke service dualistic Unity is now hosting karaoke services in the Nao British Columbia area uh We've teamed up with a number of Awesome people here in town and uh we are going to be basically creating these Live Events very much with the

Cornerstone uh the Cornerstone or the Keystone of authenticity as the core everything that we talk about here is what we want to embody as the environment for these people who are willing to express themselves and so I'm very excited there's a QR code on the screen you can also go to dualistic unity.com and look under events if you want to see a little description of what it is is that we're doing but uh karaoke and cannabis and hemp this is going to be a great season coming up and I just

want to just celebrate because it really was a leap of insight in in these two directions just to go well [ __ ] like we keep talking to people from one of those two worlds maybe they're not that far apart who who knows what other worlds aren't that far apart and and so if anybody in the audience has an idea of of an activity or a business or even just a topic of conversation out there that we're not currently involved with that you feel aligns well with dualistic

Unity let us know uh join our Discord let us know in the patreon call whatever you can do because uh season 7 is going to be great it's really going to be about integration it's really going to be about communication collaboration I couldn't be more excited so before we wrap this up I just want to say thank you to everyone and I want to say thank you to Amanda and Andrew because man it's been a long road you know it's been six seasons we've gone through a lot of

stuff and throughout all of that all of our conversations and events all of the places we've traveled all of the things that we've done all of the weird [ __ ] that that we've also dealt with along the way um the fact is is that we've never really known each other in all of that time and in the last 3 months months that you two have been here in Nimo we've learned more about one another you know we've learned more about ourselves as a result you know because it's very easy to have the

conversations online but then when you're with those people you're like right I am that person MH you know it's not just when I'm with these people that I'm that person I am that person and that takes a lot of reconciling too because sometimes we want to beat ourselves up sometimes we want to look at ourselves in a certain way and we just don't know and so I I love the expression that the proof is in the pudding I I love the um reality that the life you're experiencing is the life

that you have built that you ultimately not deserve but that is appropriate to all the work that you have done and I'm very happy about the life that I am experiencing and sharing with the both of you and everybody on this podcast everybody in the community and the groups whether you're with the groups or not it doesn't matter the fact is is that things are changing and we're changing with it and it's changing with us because there is no division want to take a moment to

celebrate this was a good one and I look forward to episode 43 uh I also wanted to give a shout out to Fiona and Jazz and our buddy Orin uh as well as Jackie we appreciate all of you and all of the things that you've helped us learn in the entirety of season 6 especially but even up up until then um we hope hope you're all doing very well and we look forward to chatting with you uh in the future at some point when we all come back together uh I know two of you are

like I talk you all the [ __ ] time and that's okay I just wanted to make sure everybody was included I'm done talking now don't forget about Levi yes [ __ ] Levi oh my God Levi we got to get you see Levi is making content and so that was the reason I didn't include Levi in there it well still shout out to him shout out to Levi and if you haven't checked out Levi with Levi or or mental stretching or of the yoga stuffo Jesus Levi gives us options for sure for sure

and um we're going to have a chat with Levi in the near future about some of the things that we've also been talking about uh all right I'm going to stop there because we've been steing we've been plotting but given away stuff that coming up in the investor newsletter so we got to wait um stay tuned everybody there's going to be a lot of cool [ __ ] happening and thank you so much yeah this has been awesome we got one more episode of season 6 so I won't get too sentimental about you know all the

seasons leading up but it's been a transformative season in a lot of ways you know a lot of shifts with the business and you know just being in person it's been it's been incredible you know to see that and see those changes and see just more of yourself you know seeing more sides to yourself and and seeing you know as we were talking about before you you go through things and you still wake up the next day you know there's still opportunity no matter what there's always the

potential to make a ripple make a new type of Ripple different type of Ripple and that's exciting you know as as much as we go through things in our life ups and downs it's like there's still just this moment there's still this moment and as much opportunity as he had yesterday as much opportunity as he had when you were you know 5 years old 15 years old 50 years old and you're going to have the same potential when you're you know 80 years old to you know make a

ripple and you know just not always put yourself first because it's really hard to see past yourself when you're just staring at that all the time and uh and it doesn't have the payoff that you maybe once thought that it would so so um it's been it's been a great episode and I look forward to the season finale whenever that happens oh oh thanks for joining us everyone it has been a real treat and a hell of a ride to sit here in awe of the Simplicity and the

magnificence of existence of this moment and uh we look forward to exploring it more see you soon bye everyone bye everyone for
