I'm your host , derek Grant , and this is the Pathway to your Results Podcast . Ladies and gentlemen , welcome back to the Pathway to your Results Podcast . It is your boy , dg . We are here live and in effect , this episode .

I may go ahead and just flat out preach , but I was cleaning up my office and I found some old journals and it's always like a blessing when you find stuff from like two , three , four , five years ago , because you start to see the evolution .

You can really see the growth that you've made where you were , the state of consciousness , the state of being that you were at back then . But I find this journal and this journal was talking about how like and I remember I don't remember writing it , but I remember that time when I was in that space and it was about like how hard life is .

I say hard and air quotes , but like how much I was like when will it happen , when will it happen ? When will it happen ? I'm like what was it ? What was the ? It ? And it wasn't that long ago .

I think it was dated in 2019 , but I realized something when I was sitting here looking at it , because I almost got like a blast into the past it's always going to happen , it will always work itself out , it will always . You will always get to where you were going .

If you can keep going , if you can keep walking , if you can keep showing up each day , if you can just keep going , you will eventually get there . And I said when will it happen ?

And I looked at it and I'm like man , I'm saying the same thing right now at times , but the version of me today , where I'm at right now , that version of me four years ago , will be looking at me and saying wow . And I said , oh , my goodness , the ego . The ego lives in not . It's not enough , nothing's ever enough , nothing's ever good enough .

When will I get there ? When will I be there ? When will ? It's never enough . But the self realizes already has everything . And that was the frequency , that was the energy that we were supposed to live in . So then I realized something . You have to understand this Everything is always working itself out so the self can increase its awareness .

It's constantly working itself out so the self can increase its awareness . Because that's all the game was . It was the game of the self becoming more aware of the self .

So if you look at it from the cosmic , if you zoom out and you look at it from the universal perspective , the cosmic perspective , it is this self aware universe , this conscious living being that is playing , hiding , go , seek with itself through all of these different perspectives .

So the reason why I'm saying this here's what I'm saying is it's about you understanding that's all this journey is is to get you to become more self aware . So when it feels like it's not working out , it's not that it's not working out .

The reason why it's perceived that it's not working out is because you're not getting the lesson that would help you to become more self aware . Do you see this hack ? Now I know when something keeps happening . Or maybe I keep bumping my head . The reason why the head is being bumped is because there's a lesson that I ain't learned yet .

There's a lesson hid up underneath the surface for me to become more aware of the self . Do you see ? Dg is supposed to become aware of the self , so now it can live from self awareness instead of from ego awareness . That's why this thing keeps happening . This is why it feels like it's happening so slow .

Literally , the universe is saying to itself through you , because there was no separation between self awareness and the universe . They are the same thing God , source , creator , whatever you wanna refer to it as self awareness , and it are the same thing .

Your self awareness is the microcosm of the thing that is creating this entire universe , so all it's trying to do is to become more aware of itself . Now I had downloads that came in over the last couple years through plant ceremonies and just being in alignment , and one thing that I was told I never forget I was at a roundabout .

Right , you've been to Indiana , there's a lot of roundabouts in Indiana , but I was at a roundabout . In this voice , the self , the higher self . I say all these words , but they're all the same . They're all the same thing it says if you get to know yourself now you can have this , because the conversation is like how do I do this ?

How do I get to here ? I'm trying to do this because I'm still living from ego awareness , trying to manifest physical things . It said it literally the self says all you have to do is become more aware of self . I want to become more aware of myself through you .

Translation oh , you gonna have a hardship , you gonna have a little bit of adversity , you gonna have a little bit of a setback , you gonna have a little bit something that feels like you can't move forward , because this is the built in structure , this is the weight of life's weight room , so that the self can become just a little bit more aware of itself .

So when I say ego awareness , ego awareness is you being unaware of the self . But when you become aware of the self , you'll know . When you become aware of the self , you'll know . When you're living in self awareness , you'll know it . You'll know it . You'll know it Because the self's gonna let you know .

The self is gonna let you know when it's aware of itself . That is why you see angel numbers . It's to the point now where I'm all right , know what it is . One , one , one , yep , one one one's coming in . Yep , I'm five , six , seven times a day .

And I know that it's this conscious being telling the conscious self awareness that , hey , you're living from self awareness , you are living from self awareness instead of ego awareness , and that's all that's trying to happen now . I just try to live in that frequency .

So here's my point as you're continuing in this physical incarnation as the self , you're operating now from the realm of the timeless . You're operating from the realm outside of space and time . So now there is no . When is it going to happen ? How come it's not happening yet ? What's taking it so long ? There will be no element of this thing that we call time .

You are now tapping into the infinite , the timeless part of you , the part of you that existed before . Sorry , the part of you that has always existed . I know it's hard for us to wrap our heads around because we live in this third dimension , but the part of you that has always been and always will be the alpha and the omega .

When you tap into that part Now you can exercise this thing called patience . But patience can't be exercised within the egoic three-dimensional plane . Patience can only be exercised from the spiritual plane , from the self plane , from the awareness of self .

So when you have self awareness and you're living from that awareness each and every moment , now you can zoom back out and see wow , this argument is for me to become more self aware . Wow , this is happening . So I can become more self aware and you'll see that this is all this game was .

I was sitting here thinking like man what is the whole point of it ?

Why , why , why , why , why , why , why ? It's literally an effing game . That's all it is , literally . You know how kids play hide and go seek . That's all it is . It's playing hide and go seek with itself , with itself . There is no separation . Everything was self . Self-awareness is the only thing that exists in this entire physical universe , do you see ?

So , when you know that it's just playing a game with itself , it's like the right hand is trying to hide from the left hand as if they were separate , not realizing they were both part of the arms that were part of the body . They're part of the same body , same thing , just opposite ends of it .

The macro was trying to find the micro and the micro was trying to find the macro . Do you see how this works ? So I have to tell you that , just from that foundational level , it's always going to work itself out . You got to keep going . You got to keep going . Just keep moving forward , just keep moving forward . I told you this many times .

My dad used to tell me if you just keep moving forward , eventually you're going to get to where you were going . Just keep moving , just keep swimming . Just keep swimming , just keep swimming . You just got to keep moving forward , just keep moving forward , just keep moving forward . Stop wondering when , stop worrying how . Just keep moving forward .

This self is going to drive itself to where it needs to go to become more aware of self . So the game is already set up , the foundation is already laid , the pieces are moving , whether they want to or not . All you have to do is get in alignment and get in harmony with the self , and then you'll see , it's literally effortless .

You can just flow , just flow through life . You can raise a finger and the whole building will fall over . It will take so much less energy because now you're pulling from the universal force instead of the limited , lacking , egoic force . So I don't know who needed to hear this right now . I don't know who needed to know this . But no , nothing is wasted .

Nothing is wasted . Everything along this journey , everything is so you can become more aware of the self .

So this is what I'm telling you to keep going , because as you keep moving down the line , up the ladder , every time you keep moving , you get just a little bit more awareness and a little bit more awareness , and a little bit more awareness , and a little bit more awareness .

And as you keep moving , here's what's going to end up happening the self because it is the self , it's all knowing it's going to start to recoggnize itself . You see how the word recognize it has recognize . Cognize has to do with the mental faculty thinking right .

Recognize , reeve means to do it over again , meaning it had already known it before because it existed outside of space and time . So now , when I recognize sorry , when the eye recognizes the self , this is when the journey begins . This is when it really begins and it becomes self perpetuating . It starts to feed off of itself .

It keeps going and finding and hunting so it can know itself . It'll see a synchronicity , see a bird landed or a lady bug , and to see anything to remind itself that this journey is still happening . So I'm telling you from the depths of my soul keep going , just keep moving forward . I don't care if you're trying to start a business , you don't .

You feel stuck , you don't know where it is . Keep moving forward with what you believe . Right now , at this moment in space and time , is best for you . Keep moving forward , just keep moving forward . I turn my shot clock off . I don't , I'm not here . I'm not here , I'm not in the third , I do not exist inside of space and time . I never have .

Dg does , but I don't . So I am telling you just keep moving forward . That's it . Just keep moving forward and there will be times that you feel like you're moving backwards . That's actually when you're moving forward the most . There will be days when it feels like it's not working and you're asking yourself why am I doing this ? Those are the days .

Those are the days . Those are the moments that it's actually working the most for self , to become aware of self . So here's my challenge to you Can you just take one step in front of the other , today , just today , not tomorrow . We don't have to worry about tomorrow . We don't have to worry about it Just today .

Jesus tried to tell y'all Did you have anything ? I'm telling y'all . I'm not saying I'm the modern day Jesus , that's not what I'm saying . But what I am saying is the same thing we try to teach you Do not worry about tomorrow , for tomorrow will worry about itself . You ain't got to worry about tomorrow . Just focus on it right now .

Just focus on it right now . Just focus on it right now , just right now , right now , right now . Drive forward today , right now , in His moment . Can I just pick up a journal and write down what's bothered me ? Can I write down my insecurities ? Just for today , right now .

Can I look myself in the mirror for right now and say I love you , even with all the quote unquote baggage and pain and the trauma that you've endured . I love you . Can you look yourself in the mirror just today and try that today ? And if we're so fortunate enough to continue this existence in this physical realm tomorrow , then we do it tomorrow as well .

Do you see how this works ? So this is all this journey . I told you when I was having thoughts of suicide didn't want to continue in this physical vessel anymore . So I thought but really , what it was was this part of my ego was ready to die . It was saying it did not want to live anymore because it was time for the self , the spirit , to awaken .

It was time for this awakening to happen . And the ego knew that it had no say in it and it said I don't want to do this anymore . But because it was speaking and using the word I , it seemed like it was me . But understanding the ego versus the I are two different things . They're one of the same but they're two separate . So here's my point .

It was about me focusing on one step in front of the other . That's all I started to do . I was focusing on one step on the other . I don't even know how I'm going to make it to tomorrow . I'm just going to focus on right now , just focus on right now . So now it's the way I live my life .

I don't worry about what we got coming up here in three , four , five , six , seven months . Let me just focus on right now . Let me just focus on this healing .

Let me just focus on increasing the level of self awareness today , today and , if I'm granted tomorrow , if I live to see tomorrow in this physical vessel , we'll do the same thing tomorrow and we'll take whatever comes . Do you see ? So now what we're doing is we're taking care of the causes instead of focusing on the effect .

We're giving all of our energy to the process instead of focus on the end product . You put your energy and your attention on the journey instead of the destination , and this is how you , this is how you played the game of being a human . This was how you played the game of being a human .

It was living from the awareness of self , projecting and using the tool called the ego , and then taking it one moment at a time . So I'm just telling you as a word of encouragement keep going , keep going , keep going , keep going , keep going , keep going , keep going , keep going , because I'm telling you from the depths of my soul .

I was there , I know , I've experienced it . I've told you I can only come from a place of experience . There's days where I want to quit , there's days when I didn't want to do it anymore . There's days when it felt like it wasn't working . There's days when people thought I was crazy . There's days when family wasn't talking to me .

They was treating me different . I'm telling you just keep going . It will always be worth it in the end , because you will always find more of the self if you just keep moving forward , as always , always , always . I'm talking about always , left down , up , right left , don't matter . Always know that you are loved . Please know that you matter .

You matter so much this journey . Don't quit , just keep going . Do not give up . Do not give up . Do not give up . You hear that when you give up , you allow us the opportunity to continue to keep moving forward . Do not give up , keep moving forward , keep moving up , keep ascending . This world needs you . This world needs your vibration .

This world needs your frequency . This world needs your heart . This world needs your love . This world needs your gratitude . This world needs your peace .
