Ep. 187: Why Decentralization & Psychedelics Go Hand In Hand (feat. Amethyst Flame)

On this One Time on Psychedelics If you guys have been following the show for even a small amount of time now then you already know how much I absolutely adore the idea of decentralization . I am careful to ever make anything into a quote unquote cure all .

However , for many of the issues we face as a collective today , the topic of decentralization offers many solutions and in this week's episode I bring back a returning guest and one of my dear brothers to pick up where we left off in our first episode and dive even deeper into the topic of decentralization , what the implications of this realm are for each of us

who choose to partake within it and some ways each of you who are interested can begin participating in it , starting today . So please help me in welcoming back my brother , amethyst Flame , to the show . Amethyst Flame , you gangster , you bro . I'm so excited to have you back on .

As I mentioned in the intro , you know we've been doing a lot of work together that we were still doing in the first episode we did together , but we've been doing it longer now . We also just got to meet in person out of the retreat that I hosted in Catskill , new York . We're going to get into all the details there for all you guys .

Sorry ahead of time for all the FOMO you're going to have when we talk about Nerf gun battles and all sorts of fun stuff , but , dude , I'm super excited to have you here with me today . How's your day going so far , you gangster ?

And today's amazing , you know , building off that , I just got off a session with Milan , who I got to meet in person at the retreat also , and then you know you and I are vibing , we're having our own conversation before we hop on here . I'm doing great because I love this . I love building a community and co-creating and coming together as people .

The illusion was that my mind was telling me and was like , oh well , I can't host retreats yet , I can't bring people together yet . What do I know ? Who am I to do that type of work ?

What I've realized over the last five years is that there's no bad opportunity to bring people together , and what we're going to get into today is a lot of this kind of stuff , and we're also going to go over all the fun details of the retreat too .

But I wanted to set an intention for this , for everyone at home listening , to ask yourself what can you do ? Can you have one of your buddies over and start talking about cool stuff like this stuff that we're going to talk about today ? Can you start a workshop ?

Do you have a property that maybe you can start hosting men's workshops or unisex workshops or sauna workshops or a workout together , or just have a fire in your backyard and invite your friends over and start talking about web three , blockchain , bringing community together .

You know , unlocking the deep why inside of you to be able to allow each person that you're with to light up the world collectively and together . Unlocking the deep why inside of you to be able to allow each person that you're with to light up the world collectively and together .

There's no point at which in your evolution you can't just go hey , you know what ? I got some people around me , and if you do , let's bring them together and let's figure out how we can all work to create a better world for generations to come and a greener earth for generations to come , and so I'm really excited to dive into all this shit .

Man , you know me , bro .

It showed up through me listening to a brother of mine inviting me to do something , through Rainbow Bridge into another organization that filtered me into this organization that then opened up into this conversation right now .

And none of that would have been possible without people overcoming their limiting belief and inner voices telling them that they're not worthy or capable of doing this kind of stuff . I got news for you If you're listening to this podcast , you're worthy and you're capable of doing this stuff . And the first step is just like my brother saying do something .

Ryan mentioned the inner why , right , and it's like when we are starting to do these things it's not about the how or the when , it's about the why and then the what . But the societal conditioning is based on the how and the when , because that's can mirror into scarcity and fear . How's it going to happen ? When's it going to , you know ?

Instead , it's like , well , why is it going to happen ? And when we start with that , that's when we start creating these , or let me say , we start aligning to these scenarios that are in higher frequencies than where we were before , because those lower thought patterns are limiting beliefs . And then , when we are aligning those higher frequency patterns , guess what ?

We align together with others in those frequency patterns and then you get magical opportunities to go to magical places and do magical things and carry that magic back to where you are .

You know , I had a lot of cool friends that I had grown up with and whatnot that I still love to this day I'll always love , but are interested in other things no judgment but they just weren't really into the same stuff I was into at that point in my life . I was really into spirituality .

I hadn't gotten into Web3 and blockchain and everything that we're going to be talking about today , or at least a lot of what we're going to be talking about today yet .

But you know again , like I had started to ask myself , like , what would it be , what would it feel like , or what would it look like to be an entrepreneur , what would it look like to start putting my voice out there ?

And all those kind of thoughts terrified me , especially because no one around me was doing it right , like I didn't have any examples , I didn't have any mentors , et cetera , yada , yada . So you know again , like once I met Mark England , who we were talking about before we hit record .

All of a sudden he was like hey , man , I like what you're writing out there , because I had tagged him and I had put myself out there and said , hey , this is what I'm feeling into , this is the method I'm going to use to deliver it , which was Facebook at the time , and because I had heard Mark in a podcast and I was talking about word magic , I tagged

him in a post I made and he reached out to me and so we formed a connection . That's how easy it can be right ? I didn't need to leave my house , I didn't need to go join a program or anything , yet it was just me tagging someone I had heard in the podcast . That inspired me . That was it and that changed the entire trajectory of my entire life .

The reason I'm here right now hanging out with this cool dude , amethyst , talking to you guys , is because I made that one decision . That ripple effect is still playing out to this very day .

And then , when I started actually going to meet Mark in person and started to hang out with other people I've been meeting on Zoom all of a sudden my whole friend group changed and also the vibration I was in changed because now I was around everyone who was like yeah , how do we be an entrepreneur , how do we get out of the system ?

How do we start really like allowing the purpose within us to win the battle here right , to not allow the limiting beliefs to come into play , but just allow the actual why inside of us . It's always been there , but maybe it's been covered over , maybe he hasn't had the place to come out , etc . To start winning . It happened through osmosis .

It wasn't even like I got into any certain groups that were like , okay , we're going to get really clear on this . I've been a part of those before and honestly , they didn't really do much for me .

But again , when I was just around other people and there was no pressure , it was just rising tides lift all ships , and so once I was around people like that , everything shifted .

And that's exactly one of the main reasons I do this show , because I understand that for a lot of people you may not have your community yet , you may not have found those people .

For me , my community before I found them was podcasts , and when you think about that idea of like you are the five people you spend the most time with , well , what you listen to counts for that . So maybe you're not like , maybe you don't know exactly where to go to find all the right people yet , but you know what you like to listen to Well .

That also starts to increase your influence of being around different types of people . And as you do , your thoughts will change , your emotions will change , your you know experience of life will change .

And you know again , like I wish there was a better process I could give you guys , but it's so much more cooking than baking and it's completely based off of and this is the best part following the fun .

There was no part of this where I was like oh , like , my calculations show that if I go down to Virginia and hang with Mark England , that I'm going to make more money per month . It wasn't about that , it was just like oh , this seems really fun , yeah , let me go do that .

And then I just kept doing that for the last four years and now I'm here , you know . So , again , like I wish there were a way that I could tell you exactly what you need to do , right , but that's the part that's actually the most fun , because , again , like you were saying , amethyst , our job is the why and the what .

God's job is the how and the when , and let me tell you , god does it much better than we can , you know . Leave that to him or leave that to it right . Allow us to really tap into the why and the what and allow that to allow us to thrive into the people , places and things that are right for us at this particular time in human history .

And that's the simplest thing Consciously place your attention on your why , and when you do that , you'll become aware of how many times in a day , unconsciously , you're placing your attention on the limiting belief . It starts with that . And then the next piece , what my brother was sharing , is that hey , look his story , how he started .

He used what was available . But the great thing is for the people listening to this , most of you are already in Ryan's incredible community , and that community is amazing , and when I walked into the retreat , I was the last person to show up and it felt like I was walking into a family gathering with everybody who had known each other a very long time .

And so the great thing is here is that your story is going to be your individual story , your individual fractalized human experience of creation , but you're already in a space that there is awareness around growth and leveling up and coming together as community .

And when you dial in with people that are already stewarding and co-creating community , you're creating more exponential amplification , because you don't know who you're going to meet in this community . That's going to link you to other communities , that's going to link you beyond . That's aligned with your purpose .

When we place our attention on our purpose , like Ryan said , you don't think about the calculations of it . It just starts to show up and it usually shows up in ways that you can't even imagine or anticipate , Dude , 100% .

Yet the challenge that most people have , because we never learned this , is that , oh , I'm going to use logic before I bring my heart into the equation . Actually , it's opposite , because no matter what you feel into , you can make it happen . But at the end of the day , why do people say if you love what you do , you never work a day in your life ?

Well , what's the opposite ? If you don't love what you do , you never work a day in your life . Well , what's the opposite ? If you don't love what you do , you work every single moment of your life .

And at the end of the day , that's speaking to the fact that whatever you're going to do in life , whether it's what you want to do , what you don't want to do , there's going to be challenges .

The only difference is do you want those challenges to be able to actually make sense and be contextualized within the concept of why you're here , why you're a human being at this time , or do you want it to be for someone else's mission that you're not in alignment with , you know .

So , at the end of the day , if you're able to put your heart first and figure out who am I , you know , what am I ? What is my purpose ? These deeper questions and again , like you don't need to know the answer , you just need to have a direction . Like I don't know what my entire grandiose purpose is , but maybe I like podcasting . I'll start with that .

That's what I did . I didn't know I was going to be cannabis coaching and all this stuff . I just knew that I loved podcasting and I had been wanting to podcast . So I started there , you know , and then , as a result of the next step formed itself . That's when I met Mark and then , through meeting Mark , I got into the coaching . But it was just for me .

You know , I wasn't going to ever be a coach . Me , you know , I wasn't going to ever be a coach . Then , all of a sudden , it was like Mark started pushing me right A little bit more , pulling me rather , and I was like all right , well , I'll try it for some free clients . Then I started realizing , wow , this is really fun .

Then I got my first paid client , one-on-one . But I was like I'll never do group coaching . And now you know , fast forward to today , I I didn't need to know all that . All I needed to know was how do I follow my fun here and what is really going to allow me to feel like me ? Well , podcasting is the first step .

So I guarantee for anyone listening , you probably don't know the entire trajectory of what's going to happen . That would be boring if you did , but you probably know the first step or the next step , and all you have to do is start there . Maybe you've been wanting to go to yoga . Go to a yoga class . You never know who you're going to meet there .

Right , Get yourself out of your normal environment and watch how magic ensues . It's the best .

I have children , they remind me to play , but otherwise I'm also deep in my responsibilities as a father and what it means to provide , and beyond just what I'm doing for my family now Right , but helping and coaching others , what they're doing with their family now , but thinking more , much more long term , which really might mean that you don't see all the

benefits of what you're doing right now and getting okay with that . It's part of a bigger thing to think like I've been really tapping in with the trees right like they're so patient , rooted deep in mother earth , arms always reaching up , and they don't move .

They got to just stand there through whatever gets thrown their way and you know , we get the opportunity , we can run around , we can jump . So I'm finding like where is it this balance of being a steward on earth right now for the next generations , of having patience and also being able to play , and I'd like to get really real here for a second .

So I'm the kind of individual that likes to place himself in scenarios that could be considered very high risk or high pressure to others , and it's been an MO of mine through most of my life and it's led to great growth and it's also led to some really hard times that are self-inflicted because of programming around .

I got to do it this one way and even for all the work I've done for everybody that I coach , like I'm a human Well , I'm a soul having a human experience . So I still got my stuff and the other day this week I was pushing myself for something that I had as a plan and I've been having so much fun with most of this project .

But this piece I was not having that much fun with and it eventually got to a point where I wasted a lot of time and I essentially had a breakdown where I was just really upset on the ground why isn't this working ? It's this one thing , and if this one thing doesn't work , the whole month's work isn't worth what I did .

You know , making this huge story out of it and in the moment it's cool . I allowed myself , even though I knew it wasn't the right approach or , let me say , the most conscious approach .

I was like I want to feel my feelings , but what I'm saying here is like , look , if I had just gone with play from the beginning , I wouldn't have gotten to that whole little loop there . And as soon as I went through that and just was like whatever it's going to be what it be the next day , things just started to open up , open up , open up .

It's going to be what it be the next day , things just started to open up , open up , open up . And it's to the point where I had a visit from an angel in a human form give me a message that I was already aware of , but it was the confirmation I needed to be 100% with it . And at that moment I was like , oh yeah , play , dude . What are you doing ?

What you been doing this week , thinking you gotta , like , push things forward , yeah , dude , but that's the balance right . So , like the balance I see of being a steward here now is like the play and the patience . Yeah , because we are gonna have to stand through some pretty uncomfortable stuff on these paths that we're on 100 .

But the training in that is to find the play even when it's uncomfortable .

So I'm happy to be a work in progress , you know , but at the same time , like , what allows the play to be found in those otherwise uncomfortable situations is being able to attach it to something that really matters to you . That's where the why is the most important thing . It's the foundation of everything . There's a famous quote that I love .

It says if you know your why , you can bear any how . And trust me when I say life's going to throw you some hows . It's just a thing , right . So think of it this way If you decide randomly , you're just going to start doing ice baths , right ? Those are a pretty challenging thing to do , especially for most people .

So let's say you have no why , you just start doing ice baths . Well , the second , your first foot touches that water . Everything inside of you , no matter if you have a why or not , is going to tell you get the fuck out of here . What are you doing ?

Everything inside of you , no matter if you have a why or not is going to tell you get the fuck out of here . What are you doing ? This is crazy . You don't need to do this , and the only way that you can actually find peace within that ice bath is if you know why you're in there , right .

So your why could simply be I want to experience uncomfortability Now when your mind says get the fuck out , you know . Oh , that's the uncomfortability I was wanting to experience , thank you , okay , cool , now I can contextualize this ice bath as making sense within my reality Because , again , life is going to be challenging .

So if you don't have any reason why you're going through these challenges , it's very easy to end up in the victim mindset and when we look at the mainstream right now , they are glorifying the absolute fucking hell out of victimizing yourself , right Out of believing that you're a victim , believing that other people are .

Who makes you upset , right , taking all the power away from the challenging truth at times that everything is an inside job and , at the end of the day , if you choose to fall into that , good luck , right ? I've never met anyone in my life and I never will . I guarantee that that is truly fulfilled , truly successful . That also plays the victim card in life .

They just don't . So again , like I imagine for everyone listening to this podcast , you would have already gotten triggered by this point of me talking about this stuff . So if you're still here , you're not falling into that . I don't mean to say that you won't have moments where you fall into it . I think we all do . I definitely do .

But that ability to go whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , that's the mind virus right there . That's the virus of telling me that whoa , it's me and all this stuff , when in reality no one's going to come save the day for me .

So if I want to fall into myself out , I'm going to have to go so much effort just to get back to neutral before I can actually start to go above that , you know .

And so for me I've learned by touching the hot stove it's just not worth going into that anymore , and I think everyone's got to go through a certain degree of that before they realize for themselves . But you know that . Why is the most important thing ? Without that , life has no objective , there's no reason to be here . It's just nihilism central .

I guess I'll just fall into hedonism and whatever you know like . So having that why allows you to bear the uncomfortability associated with life , and when you go through that uncomfortability , you're going to naturally if you continue to go through it find people , places and things that resonate with you . And then one day you'll wake up and you'll do this .

You'll be at this fucking awesome retreat in New York , like we were at , where you know that was a really interesting moment for me too , like being able to like look around and go , holy shit , like it was all a dream . You know , this was all a dream .

You know , even in just the last couple of years , like , I've hosted retreats before , but never for a community that I had created , never for people that I had brought together like that Milan and Banksy . It was their first time in America . They were like kids in candy stores with dispensaries over here , oh my God .

And that was so much fun to watch and it was so much fun to be able to bring people together , allow them to live what I call the highly optimized lifestyle of like , yeah , we work out , yeah , we take hikes , yeah , we have intimate talks and we also rip Nerf guns .

We also run around and play cornhole and can jam and play basketball and shoot pool and all these things . We also take steam saunas together . We also do cold plunges together and cheer each other on . We also eat high quality food together . We also go on adventures together . We also really talk about like hey , what's bugging you recently ?

Let's all talk about it . So we realize we're not alone here . Like you know , all of that stuff is the giblets of life , as my canadian client says , right , like you know , they really are the giblet . That's .

That's what real living is , you know , and you can extrapolate that into your whole life being true living , if you know your why , because then every moment of your life can be intentional , because you're working towards a goal , and then you'll find other people that are working towards a common goal , and then you don't have to do it alone , you're together and

magic ensues . And that's really what I feel like the world is waking up to . Now more than ever is like . Obviously we realize we can't trust politics , right , we can't trust the mainstream , we can't trust any of this shit , because it's probably all lizard beings at the fucking front of it , right ?

Or some other type of humanoid creature that is not human beings with a soul . So , at the end of the day , if we , you know , if we're relying on these powers , that shouldn't be for our food supply and things like that . Well , how do we get the fuck out of that position ? So they have no power over us anymore ?

And here comes the conversation of decentralization and a lot of the reason why I fucking love you so much and everything we've done together , because it's allowed me to really extrapolate decentralization into a much not only broader concept , but also one that I can see playing out in different areas , like , for instance , I get all my food from the Amish now ,

right , so if Whole Foods decided tomorrow to clear their shelves wouldn't affect me at all . Right , because I'm going to the Amish for my food .

The more of us to get together collectively and go hey , when we all hit in crypto or as we're building businesses , let's start buying land together and start really like building houses together , right , commune style if you want to call it that , you know , but at the end of the day , that's how humanity is supposed to exist .

We're not supposed to be a man and a woman , two men , two women , whatever it is out in the world alone , with no friends or family to call on if shit gets rough . And , yeah , we're living the American dream . Like again , if you want to love that cool , that's your free will , you can do that . But for me that's never been what I've wanted .

For me , having solid people around you that you can depend on is the most important thing , and that all comes again from the why . So it's just really cool to think about all these things and to have looked around at that retreating gun . If the world ended right now , we'd be totally fine .

We'd have everything we needed , we'd have a magician here for every type of role that we need and we'd be able to exist , you know , and not to be grim or you know that kind of talk . But at the same time , it's like we never know what's going to happen in the world .

But if we have the right people with us , we're in the right places and we're doing the right things . It's going to make it a lot easier to contextualize if and when shit gets weird , put it that way .

And the thing is , the rub is that deep in the DNA of almost every human being on earth is encoded trauma , that in that encoded trauma lives limiting belief patterns . So we have chosen to come here , stewards of the DNA , at this time and place our attention and intention on different ways to be here than what we've been ingrained and programmed .

That's literally living in the biologic quantum code of the human vessel . The DNA lives in the cytoplasm of the cell , which is 80% water . So the DNA is 80% water .

That means it structures to light and sound , and water by Dr Masaru Emoto shows that it also structures according to thought and sound , and Water by Dr Masaru Emoto shows that it also structures according to thought and prayer .

So when you start putting these pieces together , it's very important that we are conscious of where we place our attention and intention , but also gentle with ourselves , because we're undoing thousands of years of programming that has trained humans to unconsciously place their attention on limiting beliefs and believing that they are victims , giving their power away to

something external of themselves . Decentralization , centralization they're opposite in this realm right now , but in creation , it's all whole . Creator is centered , creator is decentralized , creator is fractalized amongst these individual reflections . Creator is whole as all things .

So when we get as my brother was sharing about the retreat when we come to gather in these places where we're consciously placing our attention ccc , conscious cannabis collect , yeah , yeah , consciously placing their collective attention towards something in a way that's beneficial for others , as I shared I had , I felt like I walked into a family gathering .

I had deep connection with every person there one-on-one , collective , communal steam bats , incredible food , shout outs to will and kim . Yeah , they were amazing .

I don't even know what the caffeine stuff was that we were drinking , but I don't drink a lot of caffeine , but I love those , those are the update energy drinks working out yeah , the update energy drinks . The working out was great and and so what ? You know , it's so beautiful because get to have these personal connections in a great space .

And why is it all there ? My journey to there was bookended by two experiences that almost didn't . I almost didn't go and then when I got back , it was kind of a hard landing and these two things were based around limiting belief patterns . Of a hard landing , and these two things were based around limiting belief patterns .

Okay , this in the middle wasn't so when we start talking about Ryan sharing about , you know where did he shift his attention ? From shopping at a store to shopping with real people , to shopping for products , to sourcing real food from real people .

So the attention is now there , and that's what I'm saying , and I said it in response to what my brother's saying . This is the paradigm shift Us choosing to place our attention consciously and enter into these realms of digital stewardship over this next unfolding a right on earth , right here on earth .

It hasn't been like this , like we're entering into a space where what we do can really ripple out quickly for generations and it's already been happening , but let's say that it's already unconsciously been happening a lot in the way the world is built , right , unconsciously being part of these centralized systems that are disempowering and living out of alignment with

natural law , right , right . And then we're talking about wow , now we have this digital space where we can connect instantly and then turn it into the physical and we can do things in here much faster and amplify them . So when we do come together in the physical , it's much more harmonized .

And that's what I really wanted to say about this experience at this retreat , or this advancement , however one looks at it , is we come together and we level up , and when we're doing that in these types of containers , all the people that are there , it's like naturally aligned for the optimal experience experience .

So then everybody gets what they need so they can go back to their area of the earth grid and be the pillar in the community , anchoring these frequencies and codes in yeah , dude , it's literally the wu-tang clan like for anyone who likes rap .

It's all people at the top of their game coming together to be able to create something epic together . And when you are someone with that why , you're someone that knows how to put pen to paper or whatever it's going to take , you will naturally just start finding these people and , like Amethyst is talking about , like , this is the wave of the future .

This is why I'm so bullish to use a crypto term on Web3 and blockchain . But not just that the whole idea of decentralization . Like you know , it was about halfway through Amethyst's program where it actually clicked to me and I was like , oh , my whole life I've been practicing decentralization . Before cannabis was legal . How did any of us get it ?

We didn't get it through centralized means and then , when the pandemic happened , guess what happened to centralized cannabis ? All of a sudden , all the people that were depending on these dispensaries for the medicine got shut down right , for health reasons , which was the most hilarious thing . Now , again , that's what happens in centralization .

If you want to be part of centralized shit , well then you're going to have to be okay with whatever the powers that shouldn't be decide to play on you for a power play . But if you're decentralized , you're unfuckwithable , right , cool , whatever . Think of it this way . Let's talk about the cannabis black market for a second .

When the pandemic happened , how many black market dealers were like , oh , sorry , I can't do it ? They were like , dude , they're shutting down , we're going to make more money , right ? So again , you can see just in that little tiny microcosm of why decentralization matters .

Because someone doesn't get to make the objective answer for everyone oh , he's got to shut down , sorry , I guess everything's got to shut down , right . That is not a good place to be in . He's got to shut down , sorry , I guess everything's got to shut down , right .

That is not a good place to be in , especially when we know how fucking corrupt these people are right . So , at the end of the day , no judgment , but clear discernment . That is not my flavor of ice cream . So therefore , I got to build my own sundae over here .

I'm not going to go to them to get ice cream anymore , because not only is it not the right flavor , but also they keep fucking with the ice cream machines every time I go there and be like sorry they were down for three hours Now it costs double amount , you know , and things like that .

So at the end of the day , the more that we all just start thinking about decentralized community the same kind of idea , right ? How can you bring people together ? Just the same way that during the pandemic bullshit , it didn't matter , I didn't , you know like it was kind of funny how people were like oh , you can't go to restaurants , you can't go whatever .

I was like dude , I'm hanging out with people nonstop . Why ? Because we're not part of centralization . So at the end of the day , I can easily go down to Mark's farmhouse , be with a bunch of other people like , yeah , this is a big scam and it didn't matter . Most of these restaurants have seed oils . Thank you guys for taking that away .

Well , you can't go to movie theaters . Well , I can't really hit volcano bags in the movie theater . So I guess it's actually better to just , you know , watch movies at home oh , you're not going to be able to go to concerts oh , that's okay .

Some of my friends , dj , actually this is much healthier staying home , lot of money , not having to drive home in traffic or whatever . Thank you , this is actually awesome . That's what happens when you start going on the decentralized movement .

As they take away more centralized things , you're actually grateful for it because they're just distractions and that's what you realize . They're just all distractions and you can't realize it until you start practicing this way of being .

And , like I said , it was about halfway through your mentorship when I realized like , oh , no wonder this idea of DeFi decentralized finance resonates with me so much , because my entire life has been about me trying to live my life decentralized . I just never had a term to describe it before . So that was a huge aha moment for me .

I mean currency as the energy of where we humans place our attention and intention . There's a reason why , when you look at money specifically US money , especially the dollar bill , which right now still probably is the most prevalent dollar on earth it has prayers written on it . From chaos comes order . It has the owl . It's got all these signs and symbols . Why ?

Because people look at it and place their attention on these prayers that were written by somebody . There's rules to this place . There's rules to this reality . There are principles to how it functions and when you learn the techniques that align you to the principles , things happen faster .

So one of those is we have to , as beings on earth , let me say , to level up into our birthright is required that we come into true stewardship of our currency , individually , collectively , and the recognition that it's actually none of ours and it's all of ours because it's creation , so acknowledging that we're a piece of it .

It's a vessel that flows to and moves through , but it's not ours to hold on to . If you think about your vessel , this beautiful gift , this human spacesuit that's so popular in the universe that you've got multidimensional things battling over it , seeking to place its attention one place or the other , it's such an amazing thing .

But when you think about it , I think it's every seven years your body goes through and makes all new cells , so it's not holding on to that . I was only given this many cells . I have to hold on to these . No , every seven years , oh , here we go , I got new ones . So when we start thinking about currency , it's like the currency is not limited .

The perspective of the belief system is limited is phenomenal for allowing us to first of all be conscious that . What does it mean to be in charge of your currency ? It means you got to be responsible . And that victim mindset , that's an irresponsible mindset .

So oftentimes not oftentimes , just about every time with anybody I work with the main thing is where's your mindset ? And when Ryan and I clicked up , I'm like Ryan's mindset is in a strong , good place . We're going us together in that way and you know that concept of decentralization and anchoring it in and it's like moving that one step further into that .

You know the ebook I wrote digital stewardship , the inner circle group that you're in , the DAO that we're forming , and this is all part of the long term right training people up in mindset and fundamentals , in mindset fundamentals and crypto fundamentals , finding what your passion and your archetype is within those spaces and moving into it and then collectively working

together over time to keep building , because we're anchoring in a new reality and we anchor that reality and through where we consciously place our attention , intention and joy , fun and play . Yeah , because if we're not having fun doing it , guess what ? The same freaking thing's gonna come back . We'll be .

We'll be watching the same crazy show that's happened on earth . It's the best show in the universe right now .

You got like a guy running for the presidency that's been almost killed twice and another guy that could be a robot and who knows what the other one is and all this crazy stuff happening and all of those things are places that a lot of unconscious attention is placed and , as Ryan was sharing , it's all centralized all that stuff .

So when we start to become aware of what is centralization , what is decentralization ? Then it becomes a lot easier to see . Well , where does my why align to ?

Think about politics for a second In the idea , right , the idea of politics sounds great . Right , we're going to work together to make a greater world , right ? But what do we know about human beings ? And what do we know about the whole idea of government ? Right , it's like , hey , humans are naturally untrustworthy , so what do we do ?

Okay , here's what we do . We create an elite class of human beings to rule over other human beings . But wait , weren't human beings naturally untrustworthy because of all these negative polarizing things and all of these things ? Yeah , but it makes sense , right ? No , it doesn't actually at all , but a lot of us have just bought into it . And what do you get ?

You know not to go into the nuts and bolts here , but what do you get ? When you talk to people about , like , decentralization , yeah , well , have fun fixing your roads with no government and things like that .

People are unaware of the fact that income tax literally zero , zero , big fat zero of that goes to any of our roads , goes to anything like that Sales tax , gas tax , those are what pay for our police , fire , et cetera . So , at the end of the day , the idea of working together to create harmony in society , that idea is awesome .

But that idea is not what centralization is . It's actually what decentralization means . And , at the end of the day , think about social media .

Right , one of the things that I loathe about Instagram and I still choose to be on there right , I'm not victimizing myself here , but one of the things that I don't like about it is the fact that they have an algorithm and they can just push whoever they want to push . And what do we know about social media ?

There's so many amazing things on there , right , conversations like this happening , you know , incredible people talking about how to change your mindset , how to you know really find your . Why all these incredible things ? Well , what gets prioritized ? Thirst traps and cat videos .

What if there were a thousand different Instagram type organizations and one of them started doing that ? Well , people would just be like nah , thanks , we're going to go to the other ones .

And they wouldn't be able to do that , because if they went to go do that , we would just go no thanks , we don't want that information anymore those of us that didn't anyway and we move on to other platforms that prioritize the right kind of information . So , wherever you look at it , centralization to me is like a cancerous growth . It really is right .

It sounds great in theory , but how it plays out is very similar to communism . Communism , oh , sounds great in theory , right , we're all going to work together , we're going to be equal . Doesn't play out that way , obviously , right .

So at the end of the day , a lot of things can sound good in theory , but through actual adaptation of it , you start to realize that this doesn't work , you know , and the answer I really , really feel is decentralization . That's my personal belief around it . And when we look at , like you know everything that we both work on , you know crypto , whatever .

It is fun , man . It's fun to see a bunch of new projects popping up and for them to all know like I have to really put my best foot forward if I want to survive in this world . Right , there's not just BlackRock coming in making one cryptocurrency and that's it .

Right , they can do whatever the fuck they want and we just have to deal with it because we're all bought into this cryptocurrency . No , if they did that , see ya , we're just going to go to another one , right ? So it's a really cool concept , man , and I'm very to use a crypto term again bullish on it because it's fucking fun .

Always learned in my life , or I've always known in my life , that if I follow the fun , it doesn't make any logical sense .

But when I follow the fun , I end up exactly where I'm meant to be , with the exact right people I'm meant to be with , doing the exact things that fire me and the rest of the people I'm around with up the most you know , and when that happens , magic ensues and you start to feel like a kid again , but a kid that can do really cool adult shit .

You don't become adulterated . You end up being a kid that remembers how fun it was as a kid to drive a car or to be able to buy whatever you want and have fun and have your friends over and have sleepovers whenever you want All these things that we loved as kids . They're still in there .

They're just clouded over with a bunch of coulda , shoulda , woulda , a bunch of that .

Would be nice if all these diseases , all these fucking victim thoughts , all these things , all these pressures of I got to pay taxes and all these things , when in reality , let's just say that that's not the only frame of reference here , that's not the only way you can live life , and I see most people that , see some people that maybe they think live this

life like an Elon Musk or even a Donald Trump or whatever . They just get mad why are they not paying taxes ? Why , instead of asking why am I paying taxes ? Like , wait a minute , if they can get away with it , what do they know that I don't ?

That's when life starts getting fun , because what you'll realize is that all of that stuff is extremely available these days , right like the internet , in quite a few different ways , is decentralized , and obviously we've realized that over the last , you know , decade or two decades , they've they've worked really hard to centralize a lot of parts of it , but you can

still find some really cool information out there that will free you , free your family and allow the rest of life to just be play , where you are just doing exactly what you were meant to do here on earth and you are giving that magic to the world and you are pouring from an endlessly overflowing cup , because you were so charged up and fulfilled from what you

do that nothing can stop you , even if they kill you . You're an infinite being . So , whatever you know , just like Jesus went through right , the crucifixion was not , you know , painful to jesus . Why ? Because he had a guiltless mind . He understood that he was infinite . He understood that he had never left god .

And so , as they're driving the stakes into him and asking , why don't you feel pain ? He's like trying to tell him like guys , I have a guiltless mind . Like the body isn't real , it's just a projection from the ego . None of this is actually the way that we think it is , unless we choose to believe . It is because , whatever we believe , we become so true .

And when we start talking about decentralization or centralization , you cannot be unconscious in a centralized experience and be educated , empowered and embodied . You cannot do it . It won't work that way . Okay , maybe you've got the physique , but you won't be there in the mind , in the mind , in the spirit .

Like you can have a piece of it is what I'm saying but it won't be the full thing . So when we start to enter into that space of sovereign beings , of free will , what does it mean to be sovereign , right ? Like , okay , your individual cell in a human vessel is sovereign , it has all its its own functions , but it cannot last without the whole .

So when I say I'm a sovereign being , I recognize I'm a sovereign vessel of creation , like that's really where it is , I'm just this piece of it . Like you were saying , it's not real . Right , don't get caught up in the illusion . But we've been educated as humans here on earth to believe the illusion . The ego is in my opinion and I'm not gonna .

This is how the inside I've come to . Creator gave itself a great gift by being able to forget it was creator and remember itself again . So a lot of people are like kill the ego . And I'm like , yeah , but more actually like kill your attachment to thinking you're the ego , let the ego be . The ego is like a little child .

You've got to give it its rules , you can let it out . Sometimes it's never going to grow to an adult . I think . Mostly it maybe will get to 12 years old . So you always kind of hold that perspective and in doing that it allows the space to realize where has the education been to keep us in a certain frequency ?

And my brother mentioned how you mentioned something about cancer .

So dr raymond royal rife for anybody who is not familiar made these Rife machines in the 50s using frequencies , high radio frequencies , and he would play it and it would kill the cancer cells . Well , what do you think happened ? Of course his career got destroyed , his machines got destroyed and he got sabotaged . And the technology went , quote unquote nowhere .

Well , it didn't go nowhere , it's still out there and I used it to beat Lyme . Nowhere . Well , it didn't go nowhere , it's still out there and I used it to beat Lyme . But so what we're doing is we're killing this cancer of miseducation , and the only way to do that is by raising the frequency .

And the only way to do that is by educating yourself about what's possible , like you were bringing up Christ , and it's like Christ is educated on a multidimensional level to know that this isn't where it ends . So the response God gave us a mind . It's up to us to use it . But first feel .

You know you got to feel in the heart , because if we're not feeling in the heart and it's just the mind , we come back to this and then . So how does this fractal into the crypto space ? Well , look to be here on earth right now . Embodiment is mind , body , spiritual and digital .

You know , unless you're living in the middle of the jungle most of us are not . Most of us are are direct . Our life is directly impacted every single day by technology . So if we're not choosing to be consciously embodied in that space , where else are we choosing not to be consciously embodied in ? And so what I'm saying is the digital is a hack y'all .

You can do so much work so much faster on the digital side and watch it anchor into the physical Rather than look . You can have the vision of wanting to go to Tibet and pray with the monks , but it's going to take a lot to get there . Alternatively , you could probably find something online , a community that you have that linked up right away .

And there it is . There's a step forward , and you know whether it's through a centralized platform or decentralized . I think what's important is to think about it like this Neither Ryan nor I are accredited professors at a university . Neither Ryan nor I have any sort of university or doctorates or any of that stuff .

But what Ryan and I both have is a shit ton of life experience and knowing some ways that maybe don't work . And what does it take to become a master in a field ? 10,000 hours . So I like to think of it 10,000 tries .

If I try something 10,000 times , I'm going to do it wrong 10,000 times , so the best thing to do is come together with people who've already done shit wrong so you can get a jump ahead .

And so what I'm saying about the decentralization is look , whether we're on Riverside or we're on school or we're on Telegram or we're on Instagram , we are decentralized educators and the first people that we're educating is ourselves .

And when I heard my brother say this earlier in his share , we educate ourselves , we implement it , we heal , we embody it and then we teach it beyond to ourselves , like we're teaching it to ourselves . Learn , heal , teach , or is it learn , teach , heal Could be all three , any direction . Brian shared that .

It starts about placing the attention on the why and the play , and this space allows us to do that really quick , and this space allows us to do that really quick . Now , of course , there's all the other parts . Do I know coins that most likely are going to 10x , 20x or 30x ? Yeah , I know a lot of those .

Uh , do I know , do do we here , ryan and I know , how to make moves fundamentally across chains ? Yes , we know how to do that . Are we building together in community for the long term ? Absolutely , but it didn't happen without all that other stuff I mentioned before .

50 forget if it was in his course or you know where it was , but you remember 30% of what you hear , 50% of what you write down and 80% of what you teach . And so it's a natural progression , right , you're going to hear something . If it really resonates with you , you're going to be like oh shit , let me jot that down for later , right .

And then , as you go through the process , the final step is to then teach it , because we also , like you were saying , are teaching it to ourselves . You know , I tell everyone in the conscious cannabis collective like I'm learning more about my relationship with cannabis each and every day as well .

It's not like I've reached this destination and I'm the guru in the group , like I think that shit is toxic as hell .

I make sure everyone that works with me knows like I'm not a guru , guys , the only thing I may have that you might not have is more times fucking around and finding out to know what doesn't work and maybe have a better idea of what is working at the current time . That's it right and that's ultimately .

You know for me why I always work with people like yourself . You know people like my buddy Mark , like people like Ani , my business coach , because I understand the best coaches and mentors are not people that are like I have it all figured out , I am a perfect human being .

They're the people that are like hey , I've been at this for a while and I've tried a lot of things and I can help you disseminate through the immense amount of information out there to just get really clear on what's working right now , and also to be able to have someone on your team that's like hey , that old thing we were doing isn't really working anymore .

Let's figure out a new way to go forward and try . And if you get three people together , even just three people , well , now you've magnified your chances of finding what works and what doesn't work times three .

Now what happens when you get five people , 10 people , 100 people , 1,000 people , 10,000 people , a million people , right , like that gets exponentially wilder . And when you think about it this way , you know I'm kind of torn between two things , but let's put it this way Our most valuable resource , I really feel here , is time .

Right , attention and intention are very close , but without time you can't have any attention or intention . So time has to be the most valuable . And at the end of the day , what do we know about life ?

Right , in this reality that is not really reality , but if we're going to take it , you know , as just to not be confusing this reality , everything has a start date and an end date . So we're not going to be here in this meat suit , in this illusion of separation , forever .

And so if we can find things that allow us to get to a particular destination or a particular stop on the endless journey that is life in a quicker and more efficient manner , why wouldn't we want to do that ?

Right , If time is the most valuable resource , then why wouldn't we want to seek out ways that we can quantum leap and kind of hack the time equation here ? And that's what all of this stuff is . You know , for me , when I went to college , it was almost the opposite . Like the idea was hey , you're going to come here .

You're going to learn things so you can go do something really cool in life . But when I went there it was like , well , it has to take four years . You know that's how much time we have decided upon as a governing body it takes to learn a certain subject .

Then you go there and you realize how fucked up it is , because the first two years of my psychology degree were not me learning anything about psychology . It was like the same general education shit I had just learned in school . So immediately I was like , wait a minute , I could have learned how to get this degree in two years .

But it has to be for because , because , basically right . And so you start realizing that once again , centralization is not really working in the same way that decentralization is . Decentralization speeds up time . Centralization makes time almost take longer . It takes longer to get to certain destinations .

So for me , understanding that time is the most valuable resource , it's a no-brainer which one I choose . And again , everyone gets to make that choice for themselves .

There's no judgment here , it's just you know , going through this , I now know , discerning wise , what I will do and what I will not do , and in a year from now I'll probably have a whole new list of things I will no longer do and will choose to now . Do you know ? So , again , life is just a cyclical process of learning this stuff .

But you know , I'm 33 . So when the dot-com boom happened , I was like nine years old . So at the end of the day , I don't really remember what it was like , my dad was really bullish on the internet and my dad made a lot of money because he believed in something . Most people were like dude , that's stupid , it's never going to take off .

What are you even doing , right ? So it's very much like history is deemed to repeat itself , right ?

And so when we look at web3 and blockchain and we look at some of the players getting into it , like the black rocks , like the vanguard , like the state street , you know , I was talking to my neighbor the other day and you know she's older and she was like you know , ryan , like I , totally I feel it with you , but like you know what happens ?

If you know , like what happens if I lose my money and things like that , and I'm like , yeah , that's , that's always something that can happen within the space . Only put in what you're willing to lose , right ? Nothing's guaranteed .

But also when you start looking at , like you know , 10 years ago , if you're looking at , let's say , bitcoin just to make it very realistic and easy for people to understand , because I'm sure they've heard of Bitcoin If you were looking at Bitcoin 10 years ago , yeah , there was a much stronger argument of like , what even is this thing ?

You know , like a lot of people already got it . But like there was a bigger argument of like , oh , what is this ? You know not a lot of , you know people are backing it , yada , yada these days , when I hear that I get it because I was uneducated at one point too . So I understand , right , no judgment .

But also like the feeling that comes up inside of me when people are like I don't know if I can put a hundred bucks into like Velo , let's say , right , I don't know what if something goes wrong with it . And I'm like , listen , it's really at this point , as long as something has real world utility , it's not just like a meme coin which are very volatile .

You can make a lot of money , but you can also lose a lot of money very quickly . As long as something has real world utility , the chances of it just completely getting annihilated are like next to none . And also , the most important thing is learning lessons .

Right , Throw in $10 to something and play with watching charts and learning how to read charts and with five or $10 , see what happens . Don't go crazy and just put all your life savings in something you know nothing about . We're not telling you to do that , but start practicing right .

There are even places I know , you know where you can go and basically mock trade . You can basically just like , take fake money it's not real , obviously , but like , it's like a simulation where , like , let's say , you could onboard 10,000 of fake money .

You know , do your best to make good picks on different cryptos and things like that and just see over time , like , what your track record is . You know , like this does not mean you have to go put your life savings in there or stop , you know , funding your IRA or any of these kinds of things that you might be doing .

It just means like , listen , guys , personally for me , personally , for Amethyst , we really believe this technology is going to continue to get wild and wild and , like we talked about , it's not even really about crypto , like . There's so many other amazing aspects to the idea of Web3 and blockchain , but let's just take it very literal .

You know , for most people , because they've heard about cryptocurrency , you know , at the end of the day , like you know , this is going to continue to take off . So even if you don't want to put any money in right now , that's fine . Just go on a simulation and practice , you know , get your feet wet with it . Look up some mining things you can do .

Right , I'll link some of the miners that I use in the show notes that do not require you putting any money in and , worst case , they go to zero and you just wasted a couple minutes every day hitting some buttons . Best case , you make , let's say , even $10 . Let's say , what about $1,000 ?

I mean , one of your brothers shared that he's made over 200 grand mining , just like hitting buttons on his phone , forgetting about it for a year , going back and be like , oh shit , I guess there's money that ended up there , right ? So there are a lot of ways to get into just the cryptocurrency side without ever having to put money into it .

Then you think about apps like Bloom , right , bloom is a miner that Amethyst and I both use , and they have a great educational platform too . They teach a lot of basics about crypto , you know .

And then you got Amethyst here when you want to learn the real deal of how to move in the private and a lot of things we're not going to talk about specifically in detail here . But there's a lot of fun stuff you can do here and it's supposed to be fun . It gets to be fun , right .

Go find out where you have fun in this space , because there's infinite things you can do in this space , so it doesn't have to be just one thing or just the other thing that someone's talking about . You don't have to be stuck on reading charts all day . If that's boring to you , just go find what Web3 and blockchain is and go you know what .

Yeah , maybe these guys interested me a little bit here . Talking to this podcast , I'm going to look up what the hell even is Web3 ? What are people doing with it ? And maybe you find like , oh my God , I'm an artist and people are doing stuff with NFTs . That's cool , I'd never heard of that before . Maybe that's the way you get into it .

You know , for me , I like the cryptocurrency play , I like the mining play , I like the trust plays . That's how I got into it , because that's what excited me . That's what was fun for me . So , once again , follow the fun .

You don't need to do anything that feels like work to you right off the bat , unless it's just one of those things of like the ice bath analogy right , yeah , you want to get healthier but you got to go in a nice bath to do it .

That's going to be a little uncomfortable , but if you remember that it's going to get you healthier and it matters to your why , then it's going to be easy to do so . Again , there are things in the space I've done that aren't like , oh boy , that's the most exciting thing ever .

But I can contextualize them in helping me get to the thing that really does matter for me , my why .

And because of that they become more fun and I can contextualize it and then essentially make magic happen where now I've been able to shift the story on top of this one individual task that maybe isn't exciting for me and be able to grandiose , you know , scheme it into the full vision .

And now I've created the spiritual alchemical process where now I can be like , yes , I'm excited to do that thing . Even though it doesn't really beam me up that one thing , what it leads to beams me up , and so , if this is the , price I got to pay .

And I want to say you know , in regards to a lot of what you're talking about with the blockchain and cryptocurrency and the possibilities out there , and then how you opened it with cycles right , and how things move cyclically , and you brought in your dad's experience during the internet when people were like , yeah , it's crazy If people are saying that , pay

attention , because they're saying that now about a lot of the stuff that you have access to through people that you know , like Ryan and I , and that things move cyclically . Get rid of the story that you're going to be a millionaire from your first investment . Just throw that right out the door .

The money that you're going to make in the space , for the most part , is most likely you're going to have the greatest windfall from places that maybe you didn't really always expect it . Okay , so a project that is like that is Dr Kim Chi , ryan and I have talked about it .

It's a meme coin that's made by people who are consciously aware here to do the greatest things for earth , and it's meant to expose the lies of big pharma and bring the truth , actual cures for cancer . They have doctors on the team . It already did a crazy run , broke back down , is building back up for another one .

So it's amazing when you see the type of people doing things in this space too , and the cyclical nature . Okay , so this space moves cyclically . The charts all the charts are are a representation of human energy , intention , attention and emotion . That's it .

Then they attach names and currency to them , but they all read basically most of them move similar , right ? Any chart you look at is going to move according to the fibonacci sequence . So it's grasping that all of this stuff moves according to universal principles .

Okay , so once we learn those , we learn that we align our reality through the techniques to get us in that frequency .

And one of the key things here on earth my brother was saying is learning how to work with time , and I love the analogy you made that centralized slows it down and basically puts a fucking limiter on humans here on earth , and decentralized allows us to move into our highest , most optimal timeline , right ? So in that space , what ?

What are we able to do when we come together in supportive community where there is trust , because it is the leading edge right now . You are still so early , even if you aren't in crypto , but you're just listening to this podcast . You could literally buy a current buy a crypto right now for under two cents .

That BlackRock owns a bunch of is like partnered with . You can't go buy any stock of theirs for that little bit of money . So think about that .

And when we're talking about BlackRock , look , these players are around , okay , and in the centralized world it's hard for us to redirect their currency , but in this decentralized world it's pretty easy to buy stuff and move it and move your currency wherever you want , and the goal is my goal in this space is to have private blockchains with private AI apps and

I'm working with you know . Ryan mentioned a bunch of his teachers . I'm glad he did . I love mentioning my teachers Bully and Congo and Quasi and Human and Page and El Crypto and Napoleon Hill . Notice , I mentioned an author .

Some of these people I work with in real life , other ones I study and I learn and I template things from how they became successful in mindset into my own experience .

But the goal is to basically create private spaces that are outside the purview of anybody's observation that is not a member in those spaces , and to become a member in those spaces requires certain moves to be made . Is your mindset stuff square ? Is your crypto fundamentals square ? Great , have we met ? Do we know each other ?

Okay , cool , now we're building longer term . Each other is there ? Okay , cool , now we're building longer term . And this is one of the most beautiful things I experienced on the retreat is like I didn't know , but they've all .

Everybody's been getting on calls for like a year and a half , so everybody's already got relationships with each other and it's just now we're stepping forward into those relationships , and that , to me , is the beauty of the space . There's's people I work with . Unity is one of my teachers .

He's also my partner in digital stewardship , so it's like be humble enough , let me say humble , just be aware enough to always be learning . And that's the great thing about this space right now is there's a crazy amount of areas that you can learn , and Ryan is right , the timing of it is that more than likely .

If you invest in a project that has history , you're going to do well , okay Now . But you can also play meme coins , whatever you want to do .

So the timing , the seasonal , the cycle of it is , and to do it , the right to do it the way that's most aligned , not because you want to make a lot of money fast , not because you want to get out of the job you're in , that you don't like , but to actually make the real deal , foundational shifts , that you're not going to be making decisions based on

limiting beliefs . And when we link up and click up in this way in this space , the currency becomes so much more active and agile and it becomes I love to think of currency as water , and then in this space , it's like air , it's like electric , it's like electric . It's like zipping and zapping all around .

Water moves , water holds information , but it takes a lot to move water , it's heavy to move water and it can move in crazy ways . The electric stuff can just zip , zip , zip , zip , zap so fast . It's really an amazing time to be here and to be able to step into these spaces of awareness , because that's really what we're talking about .

It's like coming into awareness around . Hey , what am I doing ?

The communities are a big win . All these things I do are wins . But the biggest win for me is when we're all in person having a fucking blast together . And , like you said right , I've had some of these students for just about two years now in the Conscious Cannabis Collective . We met up .

It was like we had known each other for years because we have , like , we've talked online and there was no like buffer period there . It was just like , oh my god , I can't believe you're a real human in person . And then let's go play , can jam , let's go do something right ?

So the highlight for me was one night it was me , you big will and anyone else who was , you know , a night owl , like we are , and it was after dinner , I know , because we were really stuffed dude , and we made a silly decision to go down and play with Nerf guns .

And it was so funny , man , because I remember in this house , for everyone listening , it was a 12,000 square foot , they called it the game villa , and so the basement .

They had this gigantic room that they had AstroTurfed the whole thing and they had these two bouncy houses inside that you could inflate , and so it was great for Nerf guns because we could use them as like towers .

So Will kept jumping over this ramp type thing into the inside of this bouncy house and he pops up and I forget if it was you it might have been you Someone shot him directly between the eyes , dude . And I remember just like , laughing so hard I could barely breathe .

Will's laughing , all you heard was like across the whole room because everyone was laughing so hard I could barely breathe . Will's laughing , all you heard was across the whole room because everyone was laughing so hard and I was like that . That , right , there is the ultimate win for me Hearing grown men . It was just men playing at that point .

Hearing grown men laugh like little kids , unable to breathe because we're having so much fun . We're all lined in a similar mission . Right Again , wu-tang Clan . We all got our individual things going . We're all lined in a similar mission . Right Again , wu-tang Clan .

We all got our individual things going , we're all coming together and we're just really living , like that's real living , right , just laughing until you can't breathe . Right , then , having the fireside chat we had a very similar chat to this around the fire , right , a legitimate reasoning session from the Rastafarian culture , you know , and ?

And really just connecting with cannabis and talking about web three , blockchain , the new earth and all of these things . And , you know , one of my other favorite ones was Milan , you know , mentioning hey , I'm going to go back to Europe and start a faction over there .

Right , I'm going to start a conscious circle , and you know , he teamed up with Banksy , who's the UK , and he's also going to be teaming up with one of my other students , jelle , who's from , I think , germany or around there somewhere , and now they're going to start meeting up and connecting and whatever , right , and like .

That's what it's all about , you know . It's about being able to have fun with the people that you love and being able to usher in a new generation or a new beautiful world for generations to come , and I think that for me , that's all I'm interested in these days , you know , and the other things are just bonus . Right , making money from crypto , bonus .

Now we can give that money back , buy land back . You know like be able to do good things with the money . Because , like you were saying , you know BlackRock , these companies , they're there and they play an important role in the world . Right , they're not useless , they're not bad , they're just the villain in the story that we're playing out here .

And just the same way that in Star Wars , luke would have never become the Jedi that saved the entire universe if it weren't for Darth Vader , right , he needed that villain to be able to really discover his true self .

So , at the end of the day , I am grateful for this centralization and everything that's happened , because it's allowed us to really start figuring out like , hey , how do we do this on our own ? How ? And everything that's happened because it's allowed us to really start figuring out like , hey , how do we do this on our own ?

How do we take back all of our power ? And , at the end of the day , these companies like BlackRock , we can't just wish them away , right , we don't have our manifestation powers to that point yet .

Right , nor would we want to , because we need them here , right , to allow us to rise to the occasion , but the best thing we can do is start realizing what they're backing . Get into that stuff , make a metric fuck ton of paper money or digital money and then be able to do real world shit with that .

Start putting it into education , start putting it into potentially low-income communities for education . Start putting it into buying land back , starting permaculture , food forests . All these things take money also to do , and so why not take advantage of these systems so we can start doing the right things with this currency ? And think about it .

If every one of you listening right now I get around I don't know a thousand downloads a week , if every single one of you does something like this , well , now we have a thousand more people doing it right . Imagine if all of you get in . Maybe you put your money on the right spot and you end up making $100,000 .

Now we have 1,000 people that made $100,000 . Think about what we can do with all that money . Think about what we could all do collectively . We could all get together and say , hey , I really like this aspect of life , so I'm going to build this .

And then someone else goes oh well , I really like this thing , so I'll build that and hey , when we need each other's service , other's service , we'll trade , we'll do a trade scene right . So now that's once again decentralized . So you know again , these are the things that really excite me . I know they really excite you .

I know they really excite you guys , cause I got a shit ton of you guys hitting me up when I had Amethyst on the first time , and so we'll make sure to put you know some of the resources for Amethyst down in the show notes and everything like that . But , amethyst , as we start to wrap up here , man , you know I'm curious for you .

What was your ultimate highlight from the retreat ? Is there one thing that sticks out to you ? You can also break the rule and do two or three . I did it . So if you have multiple moments , do share .

We had a lot of nerf battles , it wasn't just one and we had different games in different areas , so that was definitely one . That aspect of play . I loved going to the waterfall and I also loved that .

The fireside chat , how you and I had our own talk , our own tapping before that and then into that , and then after that how the container moved that night so it was the last night how everybody was moving together after that fireside chat , just like in communion , with each other moving around , talking to each other . Can Jam was amazing too , and you know .

So the highlights of it , it's just the absolute highlight .

For me , the biggest win is getting together with people that are in a similar frequency and a place in life , and I got to meet Jen , og and I got to meet Jen and Pete and I got to meet sheev in person and everybody else that was there and you know , I got to meet rachel and you and it was just like wow , like real people in real community and

watching this decentralized aspect . Now you're talking about milan and banksy and your other other friend out there who's to start some kind of fractal of this experience or anchor in some new thing over there , and so to me it's just like that's the biggest win .

And then , coming home from that into what I'm doing with that energy , like okay , here it is , this is where we're moving with .

I want to say one thing too , like what I love is that we can have these types of conversations around a fire or through a podcast and just plant some seeds of like look , think about what it's like to be able to instantly send currency with no uh record between you and the ones that you love .

There's protocols out there right now that are done on the Bitcoin blockchain but don't record any information , so you could send things back and forth without a record . So when you start to think and this goes to what Ryan was saying look , this place has rules . Right now , this place is polarized . Why is it so polarized ?

Well , there's been a lot of subconscious , collective mushing down of the shadow and now the shadow is so big , everybody's got to look at it and integrate their piece of the shadow , because it's all of our shadow projected outwards .

And when we become aware of these possibilities , of what we can do , and we're feeling happy and playful and joyous about it , things like this open up . Like man , how am I going to off-ramp money ? Oh well , here's a non-KYC debit card . Oh man , how am I going to get my money out of the bank in case the banks all collapse ?

Here's a link to upma , united precious metal association , a gold back private membership bank in utah , where you can get a debit card issued and you can send your money ach from the bank over there . Oh and , by the way , when you open an upma account , it's actually a trust , so you just granted your funds into a trust . So it's like all .

When you start to get in these spaces , these things just start showing up and it's like that time acceleration . So my biggest win is being able to be in the space of doing these things , while also knowing that this is physically happening in reality .

And it all started from Ryan and I'm saying this in this way right , this is the retreat that it all started . Like he said , it was all a dream . It all started with him deciding to make a change in how he was showing up and look at what has blossomed into .

And I'll say like one of my favorite things about my relationship with my brother here is like I've learned so much from him . We trade things with each other . Yes , he was in my mentorship program . I'm learning from him as a mentor in a lot of ways as well .

So I love to see this and this is the thing as y'all are in this community , start turning on and making these choices . You're going to watch what happens and grows and builds in this community and beyond and who you're connecting , and it's beyond what anything can be imagined .

So thank you , bro , for inviting me to this podcast , thank you for inviting me to the retreat , thank you for inviting me in your life and thank you for this whole community being amazing .

I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth , neither was amethyst , you know , and I definitely had all the limiting beliefs about putting myself out there . What will people think if I say something stupid ?

You know , all these things that I can now look back and realize were silly , but I had to work through those things , right , you know , at the end of the day , just that last belief , for instance , it wasn't about what other people would think . It was about what I would think of myself . Would I still love myself ?

Would I still be able to continue to love myself if I messed up a word on a podcast or things like that ? That was the real fear .

But I had to figure that out through going out there and doing it and realizing oh actually , if someone ever decided to diss me about something I said or whatever , that says everything about them and nothing about me , unless I get triggered over it , then what they just gave me was the gift of seeing something that I believed about myself through the projection

of another person . Right , anything that we are talking about here , you guys can totally go do , and you'll do it amazing and in totally unique ways that we could never do it right , and that's the beauty of all of this . So , bro , it's been so amazing to have you on and I'm going to ask you a last question .

I'm going to do this off the cuff , so we'll see how this goes here . But let's say someone listening to this is really interested in the idea of decentralization . Where is the first place place you would have them go to as a good jumping off point , to kind of dip their toes in or maybe get their feet wet , something of that nature .

There's a group of people that were working with at the time that were in it , but it's an ebook , a two-part master class and a workbook and that we're working with at the time that were in it , but it's an e-book , a two-part master class and a workbook , and basically my whole goal with that piece right there is to give the keys for the fundamentals of

mindset and awareness in crypto , so you can be in the frequency with it that it's not thinking about it from limiting beliefs . It's like what's possible , not what do I need , what do I have to get . And that's a great place to start because I talk a lot .

It's a vast space , but the key things to know is the basic principles of the space and , foundationally , how it is . So beyond that , there's tons of resources out there , but my whole thing is I want to give people a space that they can come to in trusted community and build with long term .

A lot of this stuff out here you catch on YouTube is going to be people that are working with specific coins or protocols or whatever . I'm not saying everybody , but you know it's not too far off for someone to offer somebody a wallet full of coins to make a few videos and you'll see people every run .

This is the thing I'm going to be here in the bull run and I'm going to be here in the bear market . I'm not going anywhere . I've been here since 2017 and I'm in communities that haven't gone anywhere either . So , whether the market's up or down , we're still going to be working together , because there's ways to keep things moving in either season .

Really feel into a lot of the things we talked about . Right , what is your ? Why ? Have you taken time to really get clear on that ?

Have you taken time to really ask yourself what you want your life to look like , what kind of people you really feel alive around , where you might find those types of people , how you can get involved and make your life more exciting and more enjoyable and more euphoric and more fun ? Have you thought about what crypto is or what the blockchain is ?

Don't let these things just be more information you take in and just lose . We all have an immense amount of information coming into us , but I promise you , if you take what's in this episode and you run with it , you will have amazing things happen in your life . This is not stuff that I came up with .

This is stuff that I've learned from the greatest mentors I've learned from , and this is learned from the greatest mentors he's learned from , and we're bringing together to really allow you guys to see at least for us , you know what has really supported us in moving through life and being able to have a lot of fucking fun and a lot of fulfillment doing it .

So I hope you guys enjoyed this episode . If you loved the show , of course , you know what I'm going to say . Next , please go give us a five star review . It helps out so much with getting the show out to more people , which we are super appreciative of .

And until next time , no matter where you are in the world , I hope you were having the best day ever and , as always , may
