A few days ago, Ashley opened social media looking for something to lighten her mood. Within 45 seconds, one video title, not even the video itself, sent her spiraling. If this can happen to someone who has been practicing nervous system regulation for years, what's happening to everyone else?

This episode explores an important question: How does your individual stress and trauma connect to the state of the world around you?

Ashley introduces two foundational concepts that may change how you see yourself and your place in the world: True State and Trauma State.

You are not an isolated organism. You are a superorganism, wired through mirror neurons to be in constant connection with everyone around you. And every time you bring your system into a True State, the ripple effects extend far beyond you.

Listen to Learn More About:

- Why you're not an organism, you're a superorganism (and what that means)

- How mirror neurons wire us for connection

- The difference between True State and Trauma State

- Why things always feel worse when they're finally getting better

- How propaganda is designed to dysregulate you, and what to do about it

- Why healing yourself IS healing the world

If you've ever felt deeply impacted by what's happening in the world and wondered what you could possibly do about it, this episode shows you exactly where your power lies.

Episode Transcript

A FEW DAYS AGO I OPENED SOCIAL MEDIA
WHICH I RARELY DO OUTSIDE OF WORK
BUT I WAS FEELING KIND OF OFF AND LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FUNNY
YOU KNOW LIKE SOMETHING TO UPLIFT MY MOOD A BIT
LIKE A CRAZY CAT VIDEO OR SILLY PUPPY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT
IT DID NOT GO AS PLANNED WITHIN 45 SECONDS
I WAS REALLY UPSET TRIGGERED
CONFUSED AND COMPLETELY DISREGULATED AND REALLY CAUGHT OFF GUARD
SO LET ME START OUT BY SAYING
THE VIDEO I SAW WAS DEFINITELY BASED ON SCARCITY AND SHAME
LIKE IT WAS BUILT ON THE CHAOS
BEING DRUMMED UP BY ALL THE PROPAGANDA IN THE MEDIA
RIGHT NOW AND I WILL ALSO SAY THAT MY ALGORITHM IS MOSTLY PEACEFUL
AND IT PRIMARILY CONNECTS ME WITH THE WELLNESS WORLD
AND FOLKS IN SPIRITUAL SPACES
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE NOTICED THIS
THOSE SPACES ARE A LITTLE WONKY RIGHT NOW TOO
AS MORE AND MORE FOLKS GET SUCKED INTO BELIEVING THE PROPAGANDA
AND I USE THAT WORD PROPAGANDA VERY PURPOSEFULLY
PROPAGANDA IS A FORM OF COMMUNICATION DESIGNED TO INFLUENCE
RATHER THAN INFORM IT'S THE SYSTEMATIC
STRATEGIC SPREADING OF MESSAGES BASED ON A PARTICULAR DOCTRINE
RIGHT OR SET OF BELIEFS
SPECIFICALLY CURATED TO CHANGE THE BELIEFS AND BEHAVIORS OF OTHERS
SO SOMETIMES PROPAGANDA CAN BE OBJECTIVE AND TRUE
BUT EVEN THEN THESE QUOTE
FACTS ARE DISSEMINATED WITH A SPECIFIC INTENTION
FOR A SPECIFIC OUTCOME
FOR EXAMPLE GETTING PEOPLE TO FEAR THEIR NEIGHBORS
DISTRUST INSTITUTIONS
TURN AGAINST SPECIFIC GROUPS OR ATTACK SPECIFIC PEOPLE
MORE OFTEN THOUGH
PROPAGANDA IS HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE
IT'S OFTEN DESIGNED BY SELECTIVELY PRESENTING INFORMATION
TO ENCOURAGE A PARTICULAR PERCEPTION
AND IT'S OFTEN ROOTED IN VERY LOADED LANGUAGE LIKE QUOTE
RADICAL OR PATRIOT OR ILLEGAL
AND THIS PRODUCES AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED RESPONSE
RATHER THAN A RATIONAL ONE
AND SADLY MUCH OF THE QUOTE
NEWS TODAY IS NOT NEWS AT ALL
IT'S CONTENT THAT HAS BEEN STRATEGICALLY SELECTED
AND DISTRIBUTED AT VERY SPECIFIC TIMES
IN VERY SPECIFIC WAYS ATTACKING VERY SPECIFIC PEOPLE
THAT CERTAIN GROUPS CONSIDERED TO BE THEIR ADVERSARIES
AND ALL OF THIS IS INTENTIONAL BECAUSE IT CURATES A CULTURE OF CHAOS
AND THIS VIDEO THAT I STUMBLED UPON
WAS NO EXCEPTION
EVEN THOUGH THIS VIDEO WAS DELIVERED BY SOMEONE IN A SPIRITUAL SPACE
THIS PARTICULAR PERSON HAD MASTERED STRESS BASED MARKETING
AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT PROPAGANDA IS AT ITS HEART
SO THIS PERSON KNEW THE EXACT TITLE TO ADD TO THEIR VIDEO
SO THAT IT WOULD HIJACK MY STRESS RESPONSE
AND MANIPULATE MY FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS
TO ULTIMATELY CONTROL MY ACTIONS
AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU I DIDN'T EVEN WATCH THE VIDEO
THE TITLE ITSELF WAS ENOUGH TO SEND ME
YOU KNOW LIKE SPIRALING INTO CONFUSION AND DISTRESS
AND SEVERAL MINUTES OF DESPERATELY GOOGLING
TRYING TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING ON
BECAUSE THE TITLE WAS SUCH LIKE A GRANDIOSE LIE
AND HERE'S THE THING THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS PERSON WANTED ME TO DO
THEY CREATED A CALCULATED
SPECIFIC TITLE BECAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO CLICK ON THEIR VIDEO
SO THAT THEY COULD HAVE MORE WATCH TIME ON THE PLATFORM
NOW LIKE I SAID I DIDN'T CLICK ON THEIR VIDEO
I DID NOT DO WHAT THEY WANTED ME TO DO
BUT THAT'S BECAUSE I'VE BEEN PRACTICING THE GRAVITY POINT METHOD
FOR STRESS RESOLUTION FOR A REALLY LONG TIME
SO I KNOW MUCH OF THE TIME ANYWAY WHEN I'M BEING MANIPULATED
SO I DIDN'T CLICK THE VIDEO OR BELIEVE THE TITLE
AND INSTEAD WENT AND FOUND THE DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE
ABOUT WHAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING ON
AND IT DID MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT THE OBJECTIVE
MEASURABLE FACTS IN THE SITUATION
THE TITLE REALLY DISTORTED THE WHOLE THING
BUT EVEN THEN
I WALKED AWAY FEELING REALLY DYSREGULATED AND OUT OF SORTS
THE FACT THAT SO MANY FOLKS ONLINE
EVEN THOSE WHO ARE ASCENDED AND SPIRITUAL AND IN THE WELLNESS WORLD
THEY'RE TAKING FACTS AND THIS PROPAGANDA AND FIRST OF ALL
THEY'RE BELIEVING IT
AND THEN THEY ARE RECKLESSLY DISTRIBUTING DISINFORMATION
WITHOUT ACTUALLY LOOKING AT DOCUMENTATION
AND THAT IN AND OF ITSELF
LIKE SEEING THAT PROPAGANDA IS WORKING
EVEN ON THE FOLKS WHERE I'M REALLY HOPING THAT IT DOESN'T
LIKE THAT WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME FEEL REALLY HOPELESS AND HELPLESS
AND STUCK IN A STATE WHERE
HONESTLY
I JUST DIDN'T SEE THE POINT IN SHOWING UP TO CREATE THIS PODCAST
ANYMORE LIKE THAT'S HOW BAD I SPIRALED
THIS SMALL AND SEEMINGLY BENIGN MOMENT IN MY DAY
TOTALLY DISRUPTED MY ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO AN ELEVATED WORLD
SO I SPENT THE NEXT FEW DAYS
WORKING THROUGH THE GRAVITY POINT METHOD OF STRESS RESOLUTION
TO REGULATE MYSELF AGAIN RIGHT
LIKE I DIDN'T TAKE ACTION
I PAUSED WHICH IS STEP 1 AND I DIDN'T DO OR DID NOT DO ANYTHING RIGHT
AND I REGULATED MYSELF AND OF COURSE
LIKE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
THE METHOD WORKED AND I'M HERE
HERE I AM
SHOWING UP AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE WORLD IN THE WAY
THAT I AM UNIQUELY DESIGNED TO DO
BUT EVEN THEN I JUST KEEP
THINKING ABOUT ALL THE FOLKS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO COPE
WITH WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW
WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE DISINFORMATION FROM FACT
WHO CAN'T RECOGNIZE WHEN THEY'RE BEING MANIPULATED BY THE MEDIA
AND WHO DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE PROPAGANDA WHEN THEY SEE IT
INSTEAD IT'S JUST NEWS
WE ALL KNOW THAT
IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO BE REMINDED THAT THE WORLD IS IN TURMOIL
RIGHT NOW IT'S REALLY
REALLY EASY TO GET THROWN OFF CENTER
AND TO BE SORT OF FLUNG IN A PIT OF DESPAIR
WHICH IS WHAT I WAS
AND IN FACT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT DARK FORCES ARE DESIGNED TO DO
THROW YOU OFF CREATE CHAOS
DISTRIBUTE DISINFORMATION
DISGUISE PROPAGANDA AS PURPOSE
AND DISTRACT YOU WITH YOUR OWN DYSREGULATION
SO THAT THEY CAN GO ON
BUILDING THE WORLD IN A WAY THAT BENEFITS THEM MOST
THEY DISEMPOWER YOU WITH DEREGULATION
SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE DOING WHAT THEY WANT TO DO
SO LONG STORY SHORT THAT LITTLE TAILSPIN
WHERE I RECENTLY FELL INTO THE GRAVITY OF THOSE DARK FORCES
IS WHAT INSPIRED TODAY'S EPISODE
BECAUSE AT ITS HEART MY BOOK AND GRAVITY POINT
AND THE METHOD WITHIN IT
IS REALLY A MANUAL FOR KEEPING OURSELVES STEADY AND CENTERED
SO THAT WE BUILD A BETTER WORLD
A LOT OF US ARE LOOKING AT THE WORLD RIGHT NOW AND FEELING POWERLESS
AND MANY OF US ARE ASKING
WHAT CAN I POSSIBLY DO ABOUT ANY OF THIS
I'M JUST ONE PERSON I DON'T HAVE POLITICAL POWER
I'M NOT RICH I DON'T HAVE A PLATFORM
SO WHAT DIFFERENCE COULD I POSSIBLY MAKE
THE TRUTH IS IS THAT YOU MAKE AN IMPACT EVERY SINGLE DAY
BECAUSE EVERY SENSATION YOU FEEL
STORY YOU THINK AND SIGNAL YOU ACT ON
CONTRIBUTES TO THE REALITY THAT WE ARE BUILDING ON THIS PLANET
YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO PROTECT YOURSELF
FROM THE MANIPULATION OF PROPAGANDA
AND TO MAKE SURE THOSE SENSATIONS
STORIES AND SIGNALS THAT YOU ARE CONSTANTLY SPINNING OUT ARE BALANCED
REGULATED AND HEALED SO THAT EVERY TIME YOU FEEL THINK AND ACT
YOU ARE BUILDING SOMETHING BETTER
TODAY I WANNA SHOW YOU WHY THAT'S TRUE OVER THE LAST FEW EPISODES
WELCOME TO THE GRAVITY POINT PODCAST
I'M YOUR HOST DR. ASHLEY ANNE
I USED TO BE A LICENSED TRAUMA THERAPIST AND UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR
BUT EVENTUALLY
I LEFT BOTH BEHIND BECAUSE I REALIZED I DIDN'T WANT TO TREAT ILLNESS
I WANTED TO PREVENT IT
THAT'S WHAT WE'LL EXPLORE TOGETHER ON THIS PODCAST
HOW TO RESOLVE STRESS AND TRAUMA BEFORE IT MAKES YOU SICK
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE COMPLETE METHOD TO RESOLVE STRESS AND TRAUMA
IN ANY TRIGGERING SITUATION
CLICK THE LINK IN THE DESCRIPTION
TO DOWNLOAD THE FREE GRAVITY POINT GUIDEBOOK TODAY
WE'VE BUILT A SOLID FOUNDATION TOGETHER
YOU UNDERSTAND STRESS TRAUMA
AND THE STRESS RESPONSE CYCLE
AND THE 20 GRAVITY POINTS YOUR SYSTEM USES TO PROCESS
WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND YOU
MY GOAL LIKE
MY HIGHEST INTENTION FOR THIS PODCAST
IS TO USE IT AS A PLATFORM TO TRULY TEACH YOU SOMETHING THAT STICKS
SO IN THESE EARLY EPISODES
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR SOME OF THE CORE CONCEPTS REPEATED QUITE A BIT
AND HONESTLY
THAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE LONG RUN AND THIS IS ON PURPOSE RIGHT
IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M FORGETTING THAT WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT SOMETHING
I'M REPEATING THESE CONCEPTS AS A TOOL OF PEDAGOGY RIGHT
LIKE A A TOOL FOR TEACHING
AND IT'S SO THAT DOWN THE LINE
WHEN WE START ACTUALLY APPLYING THESE CONCEPTS
YOU'VE REALLY RETAINED THEM
SO
YOU MIGHT HEAR SOME FAMILIAR THEMES IN THIS EPISODE AND THE NEXT FEW
BUT REALLY STICK WITH ME BECAUSE TODAY'S TAKEAWAY
AND THE NEW LANGUAGE I'M INTRODUCING IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
IN THIS EPISODE
WE'RE ZOOMING OUT TO LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE
HOW YOUR INDIVIDUAL HEALING CONNECTS TO COLLECTIVE HEALING
HOW PERSONAL REGULATION CONTRIBUTES TO PLANETARY REGULATION
AND WHY HEALING YOURSELF ISN'T JUST ABOUT YOU
IT'S ABOUT US
THIS IS BASED ON THE INTRODUCTION AND FINAL CHAPTER OF MY BOOK
WHERE I INTRODUCE A CONCEPT THAT MIGHT CHANGE HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF
AND YOUR PLACE IN THE WORLD
SO LET'S START THERE
YOU ARE NOT AN ORGANISM YOU ARE A SUPER ORGANISM
BASICALLY YOU'RE A BEE
I'M A BEE WE ARE ALL BEES
AND THIS PRECIOUS PLANET IT'S OUR HIVE
IN A BEEHIVE EACH BEE HAS ITS OWN JOB
SOME BEES ARE WORKER BEES
TAKING ON TASKS LIKE NURSING LARVAE AND BUILDING HONEYCOMB
FORAGING FOR NECTAR OR DEFENDING THE HIVE
AND OTHER BEES MATE WITH THE QUEEN
AND THE QUEEN SITS ON HER THRONE MAKING BABY BEES ALL DAY LONG
EVERY SINGLE BEE IS IN CONSTANT CONNECTION WITH THE OTHERS
THROUGH PHYSICAL
ELECTRICAL AND CHEMICAL COMMUNICATION THAT CONVEYS DISTANCE
DIRECTION AND DANGER
THIS ALLOWS THEM TO FULFILL THEIR INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL
WHILE CONTRIBUTING TO THE COLLECTIVE GOOD OF THE HIVE
THE HIVE THRIVES WHEN THE BEES THRIVE
AND THE BEES THRIVE WHEN THE HIVE THRIVES TOO
AS HUMANS WE'RE DESIGNED TO WORK EXACTLY THE SAME WAY
EACH OF US HAS A SPECIAL SET OF CELLS IN OUR BRAIN
CALLED MIRROR NEURONS AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THESE BEFORE RIGHT
REPEATING CONCEPTS WHEN YOU INTERACT WITH SOMEONE
WHETHER FACE TO FACE ON THE PHONE OR WATCHING A VIDEO
THESE SPECIALIZED CELLS PICK UP KEY INFORMATION FROM THEM
SO LIKE THEIR BREATH RATE AND THEIR HEART RATE
THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR FACE
THE TONE OF THEIR VOICE EYE CONTACT AND
AND A LOT MORE
THIS INFORMATION TRAVELS THROUGH YOUR BRAIN AND INTO YOUR BODY
CREATING SENSATIONS IN YOUR OWN CELLS
BASED ON WHAT WAS DETECTED IN THERE
SO SIMPLY PUT MIRRORING CREATES EXPERIENCES IN YOUR BODY
THAT ORIGINATE IN SOMEONE ELSE
WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO BE IN CONSTANT
CONNECTION AND COMMUNICATION WITH OTHERS
WHETHER YOU'RE CONSCIOUS OF IT OR NOT RIGHT
LIKE WHETHER YOU'RE PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS MIRRORING OR NOT
IT'S HAPPENING CAUSE YOUR BRAIN IS DOING IT AS A MODE TO SURVIVE
SO YOU'VE PROBABLY EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE
YOU WALK INTO A ROOM AFTER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARGUING
AND YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING WENT DOWN
AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING
OR YOU MIGHT ENTER INTO A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY SOLEMN
AND SILENT AND YOU MIGHT FEEL YOUR GUTS SINK ALONG WITH THEM
OR IF YOU ENTER A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING
YOU PROBABLY SMILE WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THEY'RE LAUGHING AT
SO WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN EPISODE 2
WHEN I SHARED MY OWN STORY ABOUT BEING HIGHLY SENSITIVE
AND NEURODIVERGENT UM
BUT THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT SENSITIVE PEOPLE
THIS IS ACTUALLY HOW ALL HUMANS WORK
WE'RE WIRED FOR CONNECTION
SO IN ADDITION TO SYNCING UP WITH OTHERS
WE ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE
AND MAINTAIN OUR INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY
SO DIFFERENTIATION
IS WHAT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO FEEL SOMEONE ELSE'S ANGER
RIGHT YOU CAN FEEL IT IN YOUR BODY
BUT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT YOURS
SO BALANCING OUR ABILITY TO CONNECT
WHILE MAINTAINING OUR INDIVIDUAL SENSE OF SELF
RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO MIRROR AND BE CONNECTED
AND DIFFERENTIATE AND BE SEPARATE
THAT'S THE KEY TO UNLOCKING THE POWER OF THE SUPER ORGANISM RIGHT
SO WHEN WE HONOR OUR INDIVIDUALITY RIGHT
YOUR INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY
ALONGSIDE OUR COLLECTIVE REALITY THAT WE'RE ALL CONNECTED
WE ENTER WHAT I CALL A TRUE STATE
A TRUE STATE ENABLES US TO LIVE ALIGNED WITH THE HIGHEST TRUTH
THAT ALTHOUGH WE ARE INDIVIDUALS
WE ARE ALSO PART OF A LARGER WHOLE
NOW THE ALTERNATIVE TO A TRUE STATE
IS TO LIVE FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF SEPARATION
RELATING TO REALITY AS IF WE'RE ISOLATED INDIVIDUALS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE WHOLE
THIS ISN'T REFERRING TO THAT HEALTHY YOU KNOW
DIFFERENTIATION THAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT OR OR PERSONAL BOUNDARIES
INSTEAD
THIS REFLECTS A FRACTURE IN HOW WE PERCEIVE OUR WORLD
AND THIS FRACTURE IS A WOUND AND ANOTHER NAME FOR WOUND IS TRAUMA
SO A TRAUMA STATE KEEPS US OPERATING AS IF WE'RE ALONE
CUT OFF FROM THE SUPER ORGANISM WE'RE ACTUALLY A PART OF
NOW THE LANGUAGE I'VE CHOSEN HERE
AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE INTRODUCING IN THIS EPISODE RIGHT
IS TRUE STATE AND TRAUMA STATE
THIS IS A FRAMEWORK THAT
SORT OF
PUTTING FORTH TO HELP US UNDERSTAND SOMETHING REALLY ESSENTIAL
ABOUT HOW WE RELATE TO REALITY
THE WORD TRUE IN THIS CONTEXT RIGHT
TRUE STATE
ISN'T NECESSARILY REFERRING TO VERIFIABLE FACTS OR SUBJECTIVE TRUTHS
INSTEAD IT CAPTURES A
FOUNDATIONAL ASSUMPTION THAT'S HELD BY MANY WORLD RELIGIONS
AND SPIRITUAL FRAMEWORKS
METAPHYSICAL DISCIPLINES AND SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES
AND THAT'S THIS
ALL FORMS OF LIFE ARE CONNECTED AND INTEGRATED
AND THE WORD TRAUMA ON THE OTHER HAND
IS MEANT TO CAPTURE THE WOUND THAT'S CREATED
WHEN WE LIVE OUTSIDE THIS FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH
SO AS LIFE UNFOLDS
WE EITHER RESPOND TO IT FROM A TRUE STATE OR A TRAUMA STATE
A TRAUMA STATE HARMS THE INDIVIDUAL ORGANISM AND THE SUPER ORGANISM
BUT A TRUE STATE HEALS THEM BOTH
THE ISSUE
AND THAT WE KIND OF RUN INTO WITH ALL OF THIS
IS THAT MANY OF US ARE TAUGHT TO VALUE ONE SIDE OF OUR DUAL NATURE
OVER THE OTHER
SOME OF US GROW UP IN CULTURES OR FAMILIES THAT EMPHASIZE INDEPENDENCE
TEACHING US THAT WE EACH HAVE A SEPARATE BODY AND MIND
AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING HAPPENING WITHIN THEM RIGHT
THAT'S MINE THAT'S YOURS
AND THIS CREATES THE ILLUSION THAT WE'RE ALONE
FENDING FOR OURSELVES IN A VAST AND SOMEWHAT OVERWHELMING WORLD
OTHERS OF US ON THE OTHER HAND
ARE TAUGHT TO PRIORITIZE COMMUNITY
OR COLLECTIVE HARMONY ABOVE PERSONAL NEEDS
AND THIS CAN LEAD TO PATTERNS OF SELF SACRIFICE
PEOPLE PLEASING
AND SILENT SUFFERING THAT ERODE AUTHENTICITY AND WELL BEING
NEITHER EXTREME RIGHT
COMPLETE INDIVIDUALITY
NOR TOTAL COLLECTIVITY REFLECTS HOW BEING HUMAN ACTUALLY WORKS
AND I BELIEVE
OPERATING FROM THESE EXTREMES HAS CREATED A GLOBAL TRAUMA STATE
AND THE CONSEQUENCES ARE REALLY THREATENING THE LIFE OF THE HIVE
SO HOW DO WE FIX THIS RIGHT
THAT'S THE QUESTION WE'RE ALL ASKING
HOW DO WE HEAL A GLOBAL TRAUMA STATE
WELL WE CAN START
WITH UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COLLECTIVE IS BUILT FROM INDIVIDUALS
THE HIVE IS MADE OF BEES WHICH MEANS
THE GLOBAL TRAUMA STATE
IS BUILT FROM MILLIONS OF INDIVIDUAL TRAUMA STATES
INCLUDING YOURS AND INCLUDING MINE
YOUR WORLD INCLUDES YOUR BODY
YOUR MIND AND THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT YOU HAVE WITH OBJECTS AND OTHERS
SO THROUGH YOUR FEELINGS THOUGHTS
AND ACTIONS YOU CREATE RIPPLE EFFECTS THAT EXTEND OUTWARD
TOUCHING EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AROUND YOU
SO THIS IS WHAT I CALL YOUR ORB OF INFLUENCE
LIKE ORB AS IN YOUR LIGHT
AND THE REACH OF YOUR LIGHT
AND THE IMPACT YOU GENERATE THROUGH YOUR RESPONSES
EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY
THAT'S YOUR ORB OF INFLUENCE
SO RIGHT NOW IF I LOOK AROUND ME
MY ORB OF INFLUENCE IS THE LINE OF PLANTS I HAVE BEHIND ME
MY DOG THAT'S SNOOZING ON THE FLOOR
THE REST OF MY HOME AND I'M REACHING MY ORB OUT TO YOU TOO
SO RIGHT NOW YOU ARE IN MY ORB OF INFLUENCE AS YOU LISTEN TO THIS
RIGHT
SO LET ME ACTUALLY CONNECT TO THIS CONCEPT OF ORB OF INFLUENCE
BACK TO WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IN EARLIER EPISODES
IF YOU REMEMBER WE HAVE THE FEEL THINK
ACT FLOW
AND THAT'S YOUR STRESS RESPONSE CYCLE
SO EVERY TIME A SITUATION CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE
YOUR BODY CREATES SENSATIONS YOU FEEL
YOUR MIND CREATES STORIES YOU THINK
AND THEN YOU USE SIGNALS TO ACT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
THAT IS THE STRESS RESPONSE CYCLE
WHEN YOUR STRESS RESPONSE CYCLE STAYS INTEGRATED RIGHT
LIKE WHEN YOUR FEELINGS IN YOUR BODY MATCH YOUR THOUGHTS IN YOUR MIND
AND YOUR ACTIONS IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
THEY'RE ALL LINED UP
YOU OPERATE FROM A TRUE STATE
BECAUSE HOW YOU'RE FEELING AND THINKING INSIDE OF YOU
IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THOSE RELATIONSHIPS
AND THOSE CONNECTIONS OUTSIDE OF YOU
IN THAT COLLECTIVE SUPER ORGANISM
SO IN A TRUE STATE YOUR SYSTEM IS WHOLE AND CONNECTED
BUT WHEN THAT CYCLE GETS INTERRUPTED
WHEN DISSOCIATION SEVERS THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN YOUR BODY
MIND AND RELATIONSHIPS
YOU OPERATE FROM A TRAUMA STATE
SO YOU FEEL ONE THING AND YOU THINK ANOTHER
AND YOU ACT IN WAYS THAT DON'T MATCH EITHER
WHEN YOUR WORLD
RIGHT YOUR ORB OF INFLUENCE IS DISSOCIATED AND DISCONNECTED
AND YOU'RE OPERATING FROM A TRAUMA STATE
THE LIGHT YOU CARRY BECOMES DIM AND DISTORTED AND YOUR FEELINGS
THOUGHTS
AND ACTIONS INEVITABLY CONTRIBUTE TO BUILDING A DISSOCIATED WORLD
AROUND YOU SO I'M GONNA USE MYSELF AS AN EXAMPLE RIGHT
EARLIER IN THE EPISODE
I TALKED ABOUT THAT MOMENT WHERE I WAS REALLY DISREGULATED
AND MY OWN SYSTEM WAS IN A TRAUMA STATE RIGHT
I WAS FEELING ONE THING AND THINKING ANOTHER
AND ACTING IN WAYS THAT DIDN'T LINE UP WITH EITHER
NOW IMAGINE THAT I TOOK THAT RIGHT
THAT WAS MY ORB IT'S ALL DISTORTED AND DISSOCIATED AND DISGRUNTLED
AND RESENTFUL AND HOPELESS
AND THEN I GOT ON THIS MICROPHONE AND THAT'S WHAT I SAID TO YOU
LIKE THAT'S HOW I ACTED
THAT WOULD THEN CREATE THOSE DISTORTIONS AND THAT
SORT OF DEPRESSION IN YOU
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE OPERATE IN A DISSOCIATED STATE
AND QUITE HONESTLY
THAT VIDEO THAT I DID NOT CLICK ON
BUT SAW THE TITLE AND THEY GOT DISREGULATED
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME
THIS PERSON DECIDED TO CREATE A TITLE ON THEIR VIDEO
THAT DISTORTED THE TRUTH INTO SOMETHING STRESS INDUCING
SO THAT WAS THE ORB OF INFLUENCE THAT THEY HAD
INSTEAD OF HAVING A REGULATED BALANCED
OPTIMISTIC AND FACTUALLY BASED TITLE AND CONTENT
WHICH WOULD HAVE CREATED BALANCE AND TRUTH
AND HONESTY AND HOPE WITHIN MYSELF
THIS PERSON DECIDED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO USE STRESS BASED
MARKETING TACTICS AND SPREAD THIS REGULATION
INSTEAD OF SORT OF A MORE DYNAMIC
BALANCED STATE
SO DYSREGULATION IS REALLY CONTAGIOUS
AND IT COMES FROM DISSOCIATION WITHIN YOU
RIGHT WITHIN INDIVIDUALS WHO THEN DISSEMINATE THAT OUT INTO THE WORLD
AND LOOK AROUND AT WHAT WE'VE BUILT IN THIS DISSOCIATED STATE
RIGHT THE CRISES WE'RE FACING RIGHT NOW ENVIRONMENTAL
SOCIAL POLITICAL HEALTH
THEY ACTUALLY AREN'T SEPARATE PROBLEMS
THEY'RE ALL SYMPTOMS OF THE SAME WOUND
COLLECTIVE DISCONNECTION
AND DISREGULATION IS WHAT MAKES THESE CRISES POSSIBLE
SO
THIS CULTURE WE'VE CREATED IS WHAT COLLECTIVE DYSREGULATION LOOKS AT
SCALE
AND HERE'S THE UNCOMFORTABLE SORT OF PERSPECTIVE ON THE WHOLE THING
MANY FORCES ON THIS PLANET BENEFIT FROM THE PHYSICAL DISEASE
MENTAL DISORDER
AND RELATIONAL DISCORD CAUSED BY THIS UNDERLYING DYSREGULATION
RIGHT
SO THERE ARE SYSTEMS BUILT ON CONTROL AND CONFORMITY AND EXPLOITATION
EVEN RIGHT
LIKE HAVING AN ONLINE PRESENCE WHERE YOU'RE PAID PER CLICK
ALL OF THOSE SYSTEMS THRIVE WHEN THE REST OF US ARE DISCONNECTED
DISTRACTED AND DISSOCIATED
SO KEEPING US DYSREGULATED
IS ACTUALLY HOW OPPRESSIVE SYSTEMS DOMINATE AND KEEP BENEFITING
FROM THAT DYSFUNCTION
SO AGAIN REMEMBER THAT VIDEO TITLE I TOLD YOU AT THE BEGINNING
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
THAT CONTENT WAS STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED TO HIJACK MY STRESS RESPONSE
IT WAS PROPAGANDA DISGUISED AS PURPOSE OR DISINFORMATION
SPREAD TO CREATE CHAOS AND NOW AGAIN
THIS IS JUST A PERSPECTIVE
YOU CAN TAKE IT IF IT RESONATES
LEAVE IT IF IT DOESN'T
BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND ABOUT CULTURE AND HISTORY
THIS IS NOT ACCIDENTAL
THE DISSEMINATION OF DISINFORMATION AND DISREGULATION IS ACTUALLY
VERY INTENTIONAL
PROPAGANDA HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A REALLY LONG TIME
BUT THE THING IS NOW
THE EFFECTS HAVE BEEN AMPLIFIED IN THE PAST FEW DECADES
BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED TO SIT DOWN TO WAIT FOR THE NEWS HOUR ANYMORE
WE DON'T NEED TO PICK UP A NEWSPAPER RIGHT
MASS MEDIA
AND THE PROPAGANDA IT CAN INCLUDE
IS SOMETHING MOST OF US CARRY ON OUR PHYSICAL BODIES EVERY SINGLE DAY
BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT
MOST OF US ARE NEVER MORE THAN 3 FEET AWAY FROM OUR PHONES
SO IT'S SIMPLY GOTTEN EASIER TO DYSREGULATE US
WHEN YOU'RE DYSREGULATED YOU ARE EASIER TO MANIPULATE
YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO CLICK TO REACT
TO SPREAD MISINFORMATION
OR MORE TOXIC DISINFORMATION WITHOUT ACTUALLY CHECKING FACTS
YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO GIVE UP AND STOP CONTRIBUTING
WHAT ONLY YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE
WHICH AS I SHARED IS EXACTLY WHAT I FELT LIKE DOING
AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO THAT TOXIC PROPAGANDA
SO WHAT DO WE DO RIGHT
THAT'S THE QUESTION
HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY HEAL THE TRAUMA STATE OF THIS WORLD
WHEN IT FEELS SO BROKEN OR WORSE
WHEN WE FEEL SO BEYOND BROKEN AND INCAPACITATED
WELL DESPITE MY LITTLE BLIPS INTO HOPELESSNESS EVERY NOW AND THEN
I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT WE CAN TRANSCEND THESE SYSTEMS
AND THIS IS PARTLY BECAUSE
MAYBE NOT PARTLY
IT ACTUALLY MIGHT BE ENTIRELY BECAUSE I'M A TRAUMA SPECIALIST
SO I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
I KNOW THE PATTERN OF WHAT IT TAKES TO HEAL TRAUMA
I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF HEALING CYCLES MYSELF
AND I'VE WITNESSED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF HEALING CYCLES
IN OTHERS AND IF THERE'S ONE THING I WANT YOU TO HOLD ON TO FROM TODAY
IT'S THIS
THINGS ALWAYS FEEL WORSE WHEN THEY ARE FINALLY GETTING BETTER
I CANNOT COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I'VE SAT ACROSS FROM A CLIENT
OR A STUDENT
OR A FRIEND OR A FAMILY MEMBER WHO'S HEALING AND TELLS ME
I FEEL WORSE NOW LIKE BACK WHEN I WAS A TRAUMA THERAPIST
I WOULD HAVE CLIENTS COME IN FOR LIKE THE FIRST AND SECOND SESSION
FEELING LIKE REALLY HOPEFUL AND REALLY OPTIMISTIC
BUT THEN THEY'D HAVE A COUPLE OF MOMENTS OF INTEGRATION
AND WHERE THEY WERE ACTUALLY STARTING TO FEEL THINGS
THAT THEY HAD DISSOCIATED
AND THEN BY THE THIRD SESSION
THEY WOULD SIT DOWN AND BE LIKE
I FEEL AWFUL AND THIS FEELS WRONG
BUT BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THE HEALING CYCLE SO MANY TIMES
RIGHT TO THE EXTENT WHERE I OPERATIONALIZED IT
RIGHT AND CREATED THE STEP BY STEP PROCESS IN THE BOOK
I FIRMLY BELIEVE AND SO I TELL THEM
FEELING WORSE IS A VERY GOOD SIGN
BECAUSE YOU'RE FINALLY FEELING
THE DISCOMFORT THAT YOU'VE BEEN DISSOCIATING FOR
SO LONG RIGHT
LIKE YOUR BRAIN IS RECONNECTING
IT'S WITH THE PAIN IT'S
STARTING TO REALIZE
THOSE STORIES AND THOSE SITUATIONS ACTUALLY HURT YOU
IN OTHER WORDS
YOU'RE FINALLY FEELING IT
WHICH MEANS YOU CAN FINALLY HEAL IT
THE REASON THERE'S A WOUND IN YOUR SYSTEM IS BECAUSE AT SOME POINT
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE
YOU HAD TO DISCONNECT FROM THE THINGS THAT FELT WRONG IN YOUR LIFE
RIGHT THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT FELT HOSTILE OR REJECTING
BUT YOU NEEDED THEM TO SURVIVE
THE SITUATIONS IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT THAT WERE REALLY TOXIC
OR UNCOMFORTABLE
BUT YOU NEEDED IT BECAUSE YOU NEEDED SHELTER OVER YOUR HEAD
THE FOOD THAT HAD ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING
BUT YOU HAD TO EAT IT BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY WHAT WAS AVAILABLE
LIKE TRAUMA HAPPENS BECAUSE WE'RE FACED
WITH SITUATIONS WE NEED TO SURVIVE
AND SO WE DISCONNECT FROM OUR AUTHENTIC FEELINGS
OUR NATURAL FEELINGS
OUR NATURAL PAIN SO WHEN THAT PAIN STARTS TO COME TO THE SURFACE
IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD SIGN THAT YOUR SYSTEM IS HEALING
BECAUSE IT'S TELLING YOU NOW IT IS SAFE ENOUGH
YOU ARE SUPPORTED ENOUGH NOW
YOU HAVE THE RESOURCES ENOUGH
YOU HAVE THE FINANCES YOU HAVE THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
YOU HAVE ETCETERA ETCETERA ETCETERA RIGHT
YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES NOW TO ACTUALLY FACE THIS PAIN
AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
SO I KNOW THAT IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE LIVING IN THE WORST OF TIME FOLKS
AND MAKE NO MISTAKE RIGHT
IN MANY WAYS THINGS ARE TRULY MORE VIOLENT AND AWFUL THAN EVER BEFORE
I DON'T MEAN TO MINIMIZE
OR EXCUSE THE HORROR THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
IT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING
WHAT I'M TRYING TO INTRODUCE IS THE PERSPECTIVE
OF THE LONGER ARC OF HEALING
AND WHAT I HAVE SEEN ABOUT THE LAWS OF TRAUMA HEALING
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WOUNDS EXPOSE THEMSELVES FOR HEALING
WE CAN'T HEAL WHAT WE CAN'T FEEL
SO
AGAIN WHAT FOLLOWS IS JUST MY PERSPECTIVE FROM A TRAUMA FOCUS LENS
AND YOU CAN TAKE IT IF IT RESONATES
LEAVE IT IF IT DOESN'T BUT IN THE PAST 40 YEARS
LIKE IF WE REALLY ZOOM OUT
RIGHT
IN THE PAST 40 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN ALIVE
I HAVE WITNESSED THIS COUNTRY LARGELY LIVING IN DENIAL
DENIAL OF THE DAMAGE WE'VE DONE TO THIS EARTH
DENIAL OF THE EXPLOITATION WE'VE INFLICTED ON MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES
DENIAL OF THE ECONOMIC SYSTEMS
DESIGNED TO CONCENTRATE WEALTH AND POWER
AND THEN THE INTERNET CAME ALONG AND WE CAME
BECAME A LOT MORE CONNECTED
AND WE BECAME A LOT MORE AWARE OF OUR DIVERSITY
AND OF WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT'S POSSIBLE
AND THEN SOMETHING SHIFTED
FOR ABOUT
YOU KNOW EIGHT YEARS
WE STARTED HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE
WE BEGAN NAMING SYSTEMIC RACISM AND ECONOMIC INEQUALITY
AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION
WE CREATED THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE BY ADDRESSING THE HEALTHCARE
HOUSING AND ECONOMIC CRISES
WALL STREET WAS REFORMED MARRIAGE EQUALITY WAS PUT IN PLACE
REPARATIONS WERE MADE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD
AND WE TREATED CHILDREN AS DREAMERS INSTEAD OF DETAINING THEM
IF YOU REMEMBER THE POLITICAL MESSAGES BACK THEN
WE WERE GETTING MESSAGES FROM FOLKS WHO HAD HOPE
AND WE HAD LEADERS WHO BELIEVED THAT YES
WE CAN BUILD SOMETHING BETTER
AND SO FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
FROM A TRAUMA LENS THE BACKLASH THAT WE'VE BEEN SUBJECTED TO RIGHT
TRYING TO GO BACK AGAIN
TO A PLACE THAT WAS NEVER GOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE
THIS VIOLENCE THIS CHAOS
THIS FLOOD OF PROPAGANDA AND DISINFORMATION
LIKE THIS
IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SYSTEMS THAT HAVE BEEN IN CONTROL FOR CENTURIES
REALIZE THAT THEY ARE LOSING THAT CONTROL
THE TRAUMA PATTERN IS DYING
SO IT IS AMPLIFYING IT IS FIGHTING TO SURVIVE
AND THE FOLKS INVESTED IN
THIS GLOBAL TRAUMA STATE
ARE USING EVERY SINGLE TOOL THEY HAVE TO THROW US OFF
COURSE
TO DEREGULATE US TO MANIPULATE US
TO TURN MORE FOLKS INTO AUTOMATA
AND SPITTING OUT PROPAGANDA
AND DISGUISING IT AS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND REALITY
ALL OF THIS IS DESIGNED TO MAKE US SHUT UP
GIVE UP AND GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS WERE AGAIN
BUT THIS RIGHT HERE IN ALL THIS CHAOS AND THIS PAIN
THIS IS THE MOMENT WHERE WE NEED TO BE AT OUR BEST
THIS IS WHEN WE NEED TO HOLD ON TO HOPE
TO STAND OUR GROUND
AND TO CONTINUE TO GO HIGH AS THEY TRY TO MAKE US GO LOW
THE GOAL IS TO ELEVATE THIS PLANET
WHICH MEANS WE NEED TO ELEVATE OURSELVES
AND HAVE THE REST OF THE WORLD MEET US THERE
WHICH MEANS WE CANNOT LET THEM TEAR US DOWN
AND THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING TO DO WITH REGULATING
OUR STRESS RESPONSE
DETECTING PROPAGANDA RECOGNIZING WHEN YOU'RE BEING MANIPULATED
REFUSING TO CLICK ON CONTENT DESIGNED TO DYSREGULATE YOU
PAUSING BEFORE YOU REACT FACT CHECKING BEFORE YOU SHARE
NOTICING WHEN YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS BEING HIJACKED BY A VIDEO TITLE
OR A HEADLINE OR A TWEET
OR A COMMENT
BY SOMEBODY WHO'S SPREADING INFORMATION WITHOUT CHECKING IT
IT'S ABOUT PUTTING DOWN OUR PHONES
STARING AT THE SKY REACHING OUT TO A NEIGHBOR
PLANTING A TREE PETTING YOUR DOG
HUGGING YOUR CHILD
AND REALLY RECOGNIZING RIGHT NOW
WHEN YOU NEED TO CIRCLE UP SOME FRIENDS AND LAUGH FOR A WHILE
IT'S ABOUT TRANSCENDING THE CHAOS
AND THAT REALLY COMES DOWN TO MAINTAINING INFLUENCE
OVER YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM SO THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN
YOU CONTROL WHAT YOU FEEL
THINK AND ACT AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID WHEN I WAS THROWN OFF
RIGHT
I USED THE 20 STEPS IN THE GRAVITY POINT METHOD OF STRESS RESOLUTION
CAUSE MY ORB
MY LIGHT WAS DIMMED AND DISREGULATED AND REALLY IN A PIT OF DESPAIR
AND I CAN'T SHOW UP AND DISSEMINATE THAT
I JUST REFUSED TO
SO I STOPPED
RIGHT AND I DID THE WORK
AND I WENT THROUGH THE STEPS AND I TRANSMUTED THAT GROSS
TOXIC PROPAGANDA THAT GOT INSIDE OF ME
AND I RECALIBRATED MYSELF
SO I COULD SHOW UP AND TURN IT INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
AND THAT IS MY OWN
I DON'T WANNA SAY REVOLUTION
CAUSE I'M NOT PUSHING BACK AGAINST ANYTHING
IT'S MY EVOLUTION
AND MY OWN STRESS RESPONSE REGULATION IS HOW I DENY ATTEMPTS
RIGHT
IT'S HOW YOU CAN DENY ATTEMPTS TO CONTROL YOU
AND INSTEAD REMAIN UNCONQUERED
INVINCIBLE
OR TO USE THE LATIN TERM
INVICTUS
THERE'S ACTUALLY A POEM CALLED INVICTUS BY WILLIAM ERNEST HEMINGWAY
AND IT'S BEEN COMING TO MIND AS I CREATED THIS EPISODE
I FIRST HEARD ABOUT IT LISTENING TO OPRAH QUOTE IT
AND NELSON MANDELA IS ACTUALLY SAID TO HAVE DRAWN
STRENGTH FROM IT DURING HIS IMPRISONMENT
SO I'LL READ IT FOR YOU WHEN I CLOSE OUR CONVERSATION TODAY
ESSENTIALLY THE TAKEAWAY OF IT IS THAT WE MUST EACH REMAIN
THE CAPTAIN OF OUR OWN SOUL
AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT'S NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER
AND I DON'T SAY THIS TO DENY OPPRESSIVE SYSTEMS
RIGHT
OR PRETEND THAT MINDSET ALONE FIXES EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
I ACTUALLY DON'T BELIEVE THAT
CHANGING YOUR FEELINGS AND YOUR THOUGHTS
NATURALLY LEADS TO DIFFERENT BELIEFS AND DIFFERENT ACTIONS
YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO THE WORK
SO BUT I AM SAYING THIS RIGHT
THIS NEED FOR INVICTUS TO BE UNCONQUERABLE IS VERY NEEDED RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE RECLAIMING OUR OWN NERVOUS SYSTEM
IS THE ONE PLACE THAT THOSE SYSTEMS CANNOT ULTIMATELY TOUCH
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR EACH OF US TO REGULATE OUR STRESS
RESPONSE TO MASTER THE WAY WE RESPOND TO THE WORLD RIGHT NOW
WHEN YOU REGULATE YOURSELF
YOU CAN'T BE MANIPULATED WHEN YOU STAY INTEGRATED
YOU CAN'T BE THROWN OFF COURSE WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR OWN TRUTH
PROPAGANDA LOSES ITS POWER
SO WE DON'T ACTUALLY TRANSCEND
OPPRESSIVE SYSTEMS BY FIGHTING AGAINST THEM
THEY'RE TOO POWERFUL
THEY GOT TOO MUCH MONEY AND WE ARE GOING TO LOSE EVERY TIME
INSTEAD WE TRANSCEND OPPRESSIVE SYSTEMS BY LEAVING THEM
AND USING OUR PRECIOUS ENERGY TO BUILD SOMETHING NEW
AND THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT GRAVITY POINT TEACHES YOU TO DO
IT'S THE CONSCIOUS AND SYSTEMATIC WAY RIGHT
STEP BY STEP TO LEAVE AND LET GO OF THAT WHICH NO LONGER SERVES
SO THAT YOU CAN PUT ALL YOUR ENERGY INTO WHAT WILL SERVE YOU BETTER
RIGHT
IT WOULD HAVE SERVED NOBODY FOR ME TO COME ON THIS PODCAST AND VENT
OR TO TALK ABOUT HOW SCARED I AM
OR TO TALK ABOUT HOW HOPELESS I FELT OR TO
YOU KNOW DISSEMINATE DESPAIR
IT HELPS NO ONE
SO I LET GO OF THAT I MOVED THROUGH IT
AND HOPEFULLY THIS CREATED SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE
THE THING IS YOUR BODY MIND RELATIONSHIP SYSTEM
WHETHER YOU'RE AWARE OF IT OR NOT
IS ALREADY CYCLING THROUGH ENERGY EVERY SINGLE DAY
WHEN YOU HARNESS THAT CYCLE AND USE IT TO HEAL RATHER THAN TO HURT
YOU NATURALLY ELEVATE AND ALCHEMIZE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AROUND YOU
BECAUSE YOUR BODY
MIND RELATIONSHIP SYSTEM IS PART OF THAT SUPER ORGANISM
WHEN YOU USE A TRAUMA STATE TO RESPOND TO YOUR WORLD
YOU ADD MORE TRAUMA TO OUR WORLD
BUT WHEN YOU USE A TRUE STATE TO RESPOND TO YOUR WORLD
YOU ADD MORE TRUTH TO OUR WORLD
SO LET ME COME BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED
YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE POLITICAL POWER
YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE WEALTH
YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE A PLATFORM
BUT YOU HAVE SOMETHING INCREDIBLY POWERFUL
THE ABILITY TO REGULATE YOUR OWN SYSTEM EVERY SINGLE DAY
NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE HEARING ABOUT THE FATE OF THE WORLD
OR THE FUTURE BEING CARVED OUT BY DARK FORCES
I HOPE THAT YOU CAN REMEMBER
THE ABILITY TO MOVE FROM DYSREGULATION TO REGULATION
FROM TRAUMA TO TRUTH
THIS POWER
IT'S WITHIN YOU AND IT CANNOT BE TOUCHED BY THE FORCES OUTSIDE YOU
YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO HARNESS IT
AND EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU DO THAT
EVERY TIME YOU BRING YOUR OWN SYSTEM INTO A HEALED STATE
YOU DON'T JUST HEAL YOURSELF
YOUR INDIVIDUAL ORGANISM BECOMES A CONDUIT OF HEALING FOR THE ENTIRE
SUPER ORGANISM
YOU JUST NEED TO TAKE CONTROL OF HOW YOU FEEL
THINK AND ACT TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LEARNING TOGETHER HERE
TODAY'S TAKEAWAY IS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR CERTAIN FORCES
THAT ARE HIJACKING OUR NERVOUS SYSTEM
WHEN THEY DO
THEY CAN REWIRE YOUR SYSTEM SO THAT YOU ACT IN WAYS THAT SERVE THEM
THE METHOD TO HEAL YOURSELF RIGHT
RELEASE YOURSELF FROM THAT CONTROL AND TO TRANSCEND THOSE ATTEMPTS
NOT FIGHT AGAINST THEM BUT TRANSCEND THEM AND LEAVE THEM ALL TOGETHER
IS AS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR FREE IN THE GUIDEBOOK
IN THE SHOW NOTES
AND IF YOU WANT THE DEEP DIVE
I REALLY HOPE YOU CONSIDER BUYING THE BOOK
I PUT MY HEART AND SOUL INTO IT
BECAUSE I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT HEALING THIS WORLD
BEGINS WHEN EACH OF US HEAL OURSELVES
WE JUST NEED A MANUAL FOR IT
AND THAT'S WHAT I CREATED IN VOLUME 1 OF THE GRAVITY POINT ANTHOLOGY
THANK YOU FOR INVESTING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME
AND ENERGY INTO YOUR HEALING TODAY
AS YOU KNOW WHEN YOU DO
YOU'RE ALSO INVESTING IN MINE
AND I'M SO VERY GRATEFUL
IF TODAY INSPIRED OR HELPED YOU OR PEAKED YOUR INTEREST
WE'D BE SO HONORED IF YOU TAKE A MOMENT TO RATE AND REVIEW THE SHOW
AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND
UNTIL NEXT TIME
LET ME LEAVE YOU WITH INVICTUS BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY
OUT OF THE NIGHT THAT COVERS ME BLACK AS THE PIT FROM POLE TO POLE
I THINK WHATEVER GODS MAY BE FOR MY UNCONQUERABLE SOUL
IN THE FELL CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE
I HAVE NOT WINCED NOR CRIED ALOUD
UNDER THE BLUDGEONINGS OF CHANCE
MY HEAD IS BLOODY BUT UNBOWED
BEYOND THIS PLACE OF WRATH AND TEARS LOOMS BUT THE HORROR OF THE SHADE
AND YET THE MENACE OF THE YEARS FINDS AND SHALL FIND ME UNAFRAID
IT MATTERS NOT HOW STRAIGHT THE GATE
HOW CHARGED WITH PUNISHMENTS THE SCROLL
I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE
I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL
LIKE I MENTIONED
