Episode description

In this raw and deeply personal solo episode, Will opens up about a profound realization sparked by a recent conversation with the hosts from An Unimaginable Life. What begins as a reflection on manifestation and surrender quickly becomes an emotional reckoning with the uncomfortable truth: true spiritual evolution may require us to become someone we never intended—or even wanted—to be.
 
Will shares revelations about his desire for freedom, the hidden control issues holding him back, and the daunting but exhilarating idea of letting the universe take the lead. If you’ve ever thought you were ready to surrender… but weren’t quite prepared for what that truly means… this episode is your mirror.


What You’ll Learn:
  • Why letting go of expectations is the real key to manifestation
  • How hidden limiting beliefs can sabotage your spiritual journey
  • What happens when the universe calls your bluff on being “ready”
  • Why the version of yourself you’re becoming might surprise (and scare) you
  • The importance of surrender in spiritual evolution—and what it really requires
💡 Quote of the Episode:
“If you’re not ready to completely change everything about you and your life, then you’re not ready to make the commitment to the universe that you think you’re making.”


Perfect For:
  • Seekers who are feeling stuck or disillusioned on their path
  • Listeners questioning why their manifestations aren’t coming to life
  • Anyone teetering on the edge of a spiritual breakthrough

Transcript

Speaker 1

So we talk all the time about and we meaning the New Age movement or the metaphysical journeyers, the seekers and the coaches talk about the importance of feeling the energies behind what you want to have to draw it to you, but also the importance of letting it go and not expecting it to be delivered to you in a particular way. Nine times out of ten, the universe will provide exactly what you asked for in a way

that was very unexpected. Well, we just had the conversation with Gary and Christy gray Body and Christie from an Unimaginable Life, and they said something that there's lots of things that's doing me for a loop, but this thing specifically was something that made me really like it hit

home in a big way. See, they're walking us through a I want to say, it's a tactic or an activity that if you do fifteen minutes every day at the end of the day, it will help you to achieve your wildest dreams because you're getting rid of limiting

beliefs and all that kind of stuff. And they said in the conversation that they've been putting this into effect for a long time and not only do you have to let go of the expectations, but rather, if you are to do these things and let go of your limiting beliefs, the likelihood is going to be very big that the person you become might even be a person that you presently right now don't want to become. Maybe be a little specific. So it doesn't sound so weird.

I know it's too late, but a lot of people that do these this exercise over a course of things that have an eight week course, and I believe Christie's done it three times, so she's done this a bunch. But it seems that people will go through this course and put a lot of effort into it or really really take it seriously. Their talents activate. And Christy is a unbelievably talented spirit medium. She speaks to dead people and they talk back. Gary Bodley Gary Temple Bodley is

a chandler. He has channeled an unity named Joshua for a long time. That's how we know about them. Neither one of them wanted that to happen to them when they first started. Gary said, I mean right now, if I thought back ten years ago, I would have said I did not want to be this guy, because you know, I'm this weird guy now channeling this being like I never would have wanted this to happen to me. And Christy the last thing that she wanted was to be

a spirit medium. She doesn't want to talk to dead people, to see dead people, and yet that's what was activated in her. And she went on even went on to say that the gifts, because of course I asked, oh, that's production, right, that's what I really want, but she actually even said, the gifts that you want the least is probably most likely what will be activated. And so even though neither one of them wanted to have that particular talent activated for them, they don't want to become

that person that they are today. Their life today is way more fitting within their mindset of what they wanted in terms of abundance. They have been able to make a wonderful life together by being who they are being.

And so, coming back full circle when they said, you need to be prepared to be a completely different person than you ever expect it to be or you ever want to be, because that's the act of surrendering, and we talk about it all the time in this space, right the fact that you trust the universe, the true universe, will provide, but we can't control it. The act of controlling shuts down the manifestation. The act of wanting to control it is what causes us to not be able

to access it. So, of course, if we release control, if we relinquish all of our limitations or expectations that's a better word, all of our expectations than the universe. We truly do that, then the universe will provide for us in such a much better, more robust way than we possibly could have imagined. But we have to be willing to become the people that we had no idea or no interest in becoming. This is way deeper than what I'm making it out to be here, because give

you a perfect example, we had this whole conversation. I went through these exercise with them myself, and I found something so personally devastating. It was devastating only because I had been fooling myself for so long thinking one way. When I came to the realization that I had no idea, that I was heightened behind a facade like I am, and so of course I'm not getting the things I want in the speed at which I want. I talked

on the show about wanting freedom. Specifically, we want in four years, we want to be digital nomadge, living out in Europe and going from country to country or whatever. That's very specific as to what we're asking for when we push deeper to find out what what the emotion is, what the actual desires were there. It came down to having the freedom to do the work that we love to do, versus having to do the things that we have to do in order to get the bills paid,

that kind of thing. So that freedom is what I need to focus on, not the I want to be in four years. I'm gonna be digital nobod. I'm gonna do it this way and decide it's going to happen. This is how we're gonna do it. I'm planning too much,

and so I'm backing the universe into a corner. And instead of doing that, I need to be able to say I love the freedom that I have, and because I do, I have incredible amounts of freedom and I'm unbelievably blessed to have the life that I have and focus on those things and then use this exercise that they shared with us today to help us to break down the limiting beliefs that are keeping us in check,

like the control issues that we have. Now, my realization that I came to during the conversation goes way deeper than what I just shared with you. It's probably wouldn't be interesting to you, but at some point in the future maybe I'll share. But what really resonated with me the most to begin with was that thought of shoe. If you're not ready to completely change everything about you in your life, then you're not ready to make the commitment to the universe that you think that you're making.

Because if you have ended yourself into a corner by having certain expectations that the universes had to pain itself into a corner to give to you, and now all they can do is give you exactly what you are wanting, which is exactly what you want here, except for a little bit more. And it becomes more difficult for that manifestition to come. If you instead surrender and allow, be grateful for, and allow the changes that will come of

you from you actually relinquishing control. Well, that that's what the magic happens. And that's the whole reason why I'm saying this to you right now, because WHOA. I was just in a meditation two days ago, maybe three days ago, where I sat there in the entire meditation, I was telling the universe, I'm ready, I surrender to tell me where you want me to go, show me how to move forward so that I can move my evolution forward

the next step. And then three days later this conversation smacks me straight in the face with the realization that, hey, are you really ready to surrender to the universe, because if you're ready, I mean this is this is I get. It's like a sign for me that says, all right, you sure you know what you're asking for, because if you are ready, I'm going to give it to you. But before you make that commitment, I want you to see what is going to take. And I just swallowed

really hard because it's scary. It's scary to think I need to change everything and it's not me changing. It would rather allow the universe to change it, to mold it into the design that it wants for me in order to provide me with those things that I want to create in a life of freedom. And I'm excited, I'm scared, and I need to sit down and really think through all of this because there's a lot more soul searching than I need to do before I can

fully surrender to the universe. Now that I think about it, I want to really badly. And I've said I'm ready. I've said that I've been ready for a whole long time. People who've listened to the show for a long time, i've heard me say, Okay, I'm ray, I'm ready, Way, let's go. I'm impatient. I didn't know what I was asking for, and the universe and its infinite wisdom did not give me what I was asking for because it

knew I wasn't ready. But I think I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of sudden Now I see how much work I need to do before I actually am ready, And for once, I'm excited. I'm excited about the possibility. I'm excited about the potential. Okay, this reminds me of this is a throwback to when the show first started, when I was speaking to my phone,

and make that into an episode. I don't know what the audio quality is going to be, so this might never make the light of day, but I felt the need not even it urge, the need to pick up my phone and start recording my thoughts because it's a lot, and I think it's for the right people. I know, the folks that aren't ready, this won't resonate with them. So this doesn't resonate with you. Don't worry about it,

don't take offense, don't be disappointed. Just keep working, keep meditating, keep reading the books, keep listening to the show, and keep questioning the decisions that you're making. Keep looking at your actions. And when this interview releases with Gary and Karen and Christie and I, I urge you strongly to listen to it because you might see the light bulb

might go off in you too. If it resonates with you, I would love, truly, I would love to hear from you, because this might be something where we might need to put together a little support group so we can all go through it together. I know Gary and Christy have a community that I'm considering joining because this is the kind of thing that I think would be extremely helpful. But why not form our own little spiritual support group. So if this fasitates with you, let me know and

let's see if we can move this thing forward. Because for the first time in a very long time, I see way more clearly the distance that I actually have yet to go before I can be ready for the changes that I'm asking for. And yet I'm excited to start taking a step in that direction. So I hope you take a step in a direction with me as we evolve together, because after all, this is one very lonely journey on your own. We're all in it alone

by ourselves. But like is it, Ram Das or Wayne Dyer, one of those wonderful teachers, said, we're all just walking each other home. Well, it's much more fun when you're walking down the path accompanied. So once your company me all right, thanks for listening, We'll see you again.
