Hello, I'm Glenn Brooks. It's good being with you today. And I promise I'll make it much simpler than the intro. It's really simple.
Simple. We go past the known and we allow something to inform our bodies. There's a movement. A movement of wisdom that's in us.
And I want to welcome you guys to the show today and all the wonderful people that kind of behind the scenes, they appreciate them so deeply. And it really is a relationship thing. Here we're here today with Lisa LaRose. And in mortal time and linear time, I've only survived downtime, but Lisa's certainly been a family member, a client, something beyond both.
She's a family member, extra. So welcome, Lisa. One wisdom. One wisdom.com.
There you are. Yep, absolutely. That's the one in the sunshine that's coming through my window today. I think grateful to see you.
Wow. That's like a true blessing. Yeah, sunshine is very helpful. Very beautiful.
You know, I want to talk about vibrant films and seeing things from the perspective of being a filmmaker. And I just want to be quote by a guy who's friendly and friend of mine. We had a guy who had many spirited conversations through this. He's been a lot of books and some of you might know them from the things called Life of Learning.
But he sent this book to me. And I just beautiful quote and he gets this and sees the love from your partner's eyes. Like sees things from their world from your partner's eyes. I was going to go back to my house and go to library just to get this beautiful quote.
So being a filmmaker, I'm not going to say I'm not going to have a whole team, a billion team of people around this. I want to thank Eric Morris. No, I'm not going to please. He's been an inside coach.
And he actually gave me a cell phone. It's all about 18 years ago. I'm telling you to be on my team and be a family member. You know, that write up that you wrote, Lisa, so beautifully about being a filmmaker.
So basically, the principle that you bring to filmmaking is the same principle that you bring to life. And so is an example to be a very powerful actor. You need to drop acting. You need to be able to be the character in the fullest expression, in the fullest emotion.
And from the eye of a filmmaker, what I do regularly now is I build little cast, little things around me. I give an example. I go to the clothing store. I work with several women.
I say, tell me what attributes this hat has, right? I talked to him about attributes of the hat. What do they see in me when I wear this hat? When I move this way.
And I'm sort of playing because it's all the play. It's all the play. The thing is when you're doing a film, people, when we change the language of something, we do something different, meaning people pay attention differently. So when I say to people, I'm making this film now, it's quite remarkable what happens.
It's like people, they give me the numbers, they tell me about a restaurant, they have the most romantic meal. When I was saying at the element hotel, I'm in Boston, incredible hotel. One of those green hotels in Boston area, I told the person, the desk person, when I was doing it. And I said, you know, I think you could be a great person in this film.
And he was just so into it. He came over to me and he kept coming over to me. I could tell, it lit him up. He saw something about that.
So one of the things that has happened in my life is I work with couples and I work with families and teens on becoming really vibrant and alive together. And I use imagery as a medicine for people. I work a lot with imagery. So the thing, how the film has worked is I share with people the vision of the film and I ask them to tell them what they see.
And that's how I do character development as well. So Lisa, will you, let's do a dialogue. I think it just, I mean, Ariel, I'll produce her from, Ariel Bonberg is working on something right now for vibrant living. Is anybody, you're not there, right?
No, right? I love the way you did that. Hey, we were getting attacked or something. That'd be great.
You didn't say anything to the table. I love that you did it. I was so super agent. It was cool.
Producer. Yeah. No, I love it. I love it.
I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
I want to be able to do this in a way where it kind of makes valuable for the people listening. And also if you guys are inspired to be on our team, you know, everyone is fired to be on our crew. So this, this film, it's called the announcement, it really is the imagery that I was able to rewrite my life from my heart from seeing a different life. And then people showed up in my life in a way that opened my heart again to something that I The opportunity of crisis is to see something implemented in a different way, relationally in your life, which is one of my biggest, biggest awarenesses.
And so... I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed.
Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business. But Shopify is the one that's so easy to use, it's like I can't stop on the dick-dick. Start your free trial at Shopify.com.

We, Glenn, you know, I have to just share with you. When you told me what you wanted to discuss about how people create a movie in their mind. And that's really the way that a lot of people live in the mind. You know, I have to agree with you that they sometimes get stuck in a script.
They've listened to the script that was their parents and, you know, they not really sure why they do something, but it was the belief systems that they got ingrained with. And when you invite people to play, you know, for instance, asking, you know, how do somebody see you in a hat, it evokes a new conversation. It's not you look nice. It's not the canned ant if you're actually inviting people to think.
And I think that's really what you're asking people to do to sort of soften their their eyes, to take a look at the world and to notice something that they may not have noticed beyond what, you know, the color of a car is or the shape of, say, for instance, a loaf of bread, you know, and see things in a new way, you know, I mean, you grow up and you have just white bread your whole life and never experience all the other flavors, you know, you're really missing out on a lot, right? Oh, yeah. You know, we said. Yeah.
And so, you know, so for, you know, for you, Ariel, because since you're the secret agent of the day, how in your life, you know, have you sort of softened your eyes and seen something new from a unique perspective that's really made an impact for you? That's a really powerful question, actually. I mean, other I could say, definitely my everyday experiences when I work with my practice, you know, you really have to do like that all the time. You know, I need different people, different backgrounds with like coming to the whole, completely different issues, psychological, physical, spiritual, et cetera.
And in that state, I really have to be really forced to be being on prejudice observer. So I mean, it's something I see on the daily basis. But if you mean on a more personal level for myself as a person, I would say, again, I've just something I've brought up last time, but I think my experience is, you know, I'm living in Israel because when you live in America or any Western country, you know, we're very used to the materialism, the lifestyle and the and the pleasures and everything that offers us and the blessings are up to us as well. So get me wrong.
But when you go somewhere like, you know, Israel or anywhere in the East India, you know, any place where there's there's a large option and foundation of spirituality and mindfulness and connections and something more higher in the vine, you really, it's really something you have to be very open to in order to be a vessel to receive that influx of metaphysical power and spirituality. And for me, you know, my first child is when I spent my time learning in Israel, I, you know, I'm a, I'm a, you can, you can see biases that always going to be, you know, fun time, you know, going to go to the beach, let's do this and that, you know, but the longer I was, I stayed in that area, the more I was able to take in the, the atmosphere and the mindset and all the other factors that I really impacted me as a person overall in all different aspects of levels. I think I could definitely send points in my overall experience of learning and learning in Israel really impacting my life and I think that's something that I'd be open to in order to really tap into that, which, you know, I eventually was able to. I just want to say this in the Library of Living, I'm Ariel Bonberg, Lisa LaRosa, Glen Brooks.
I promise myself I let you guys know about this today on the segment. So I'm starting the Library Living Challenge January 1st and basically the film that I'm, I feel like I'm on a boat, you know, and the boats are, has a certain momentum, life's like a boat, it's like a cosmic boat. Can you dream the momentum of the boat? Like last night I came back from Vermont and I was going to take this one route and there's two and a half feet of snow in Vermont, by the way, it's absolutely gorgeous over Vermont, but this roaded closed.
Next thing I knew, this guy was waving me on, when we got, we stopped, he was over me on, I stopped, I said, I don't know which way to go. I said, you did the right thing, it's just confusing what we're doing. So I drove 10 miles to a state forest last night where I see dirt roads. It was something else.
So it was like, it took me totally off the trajectory and then I was on this other whole ride, right? And this was what it stopped, she said, I don't know where to go here. And it was sort of interesting. She was ahead of me for like maybe six miles, she knew the roads, the roads that were pretty much summer roads, they turned into an alternate route.
So the film has become a part of my life, it's in four of my relationships. It's a way of life, it's kind of like where I was saying, it's kind of like you go from one regular conversation or at least it was saying you go from white bread to, you feel fiber, you know, or as my teacher used to say to me, Paul Brad, we got to re-educate her, not just our physical face buds, but our consciousness awareness. So this is a real physical thing. Let me give you an example.
I saw a friend of mine at Whole Foods the other day, he's about six foot seven, things not that you want, he's a Sikh. And I stood behind him, you know, I was saying, I realize he's walking like he's like 87, you know, I love him a lot. So I walked up to him and I said, walk past the salad bar again, I walk as if you're like 10 years old though. And I showed him, I said, I want you to feel what's like right now, close your eyes.
Before you take your next step, just get a feeling of that lightness. I haven't gone. And if you don't feel the lightness, kind of shake your feet, like when you take a step, I kind of shake it off a little bit. See, we collect stuff in our bone marrow, we collect it in a memory, all of a sudden we get up in the morning unless we were awake, right?
And this is to get the relationship because we can wake up each other. So I said to him, just do it again, you know, just play with it, like you're a kid. Forget your like, you know, in your 60s, you need every place. Forget about that.
Yesterday I stood up at the gasoline station with this woman, get a double knee replacement. And she told me it was her back and I could see like we get things fixed, but no one teaches us very rarely do we understand that we can still play. Like life really is about the emotional mobility. So I want to say with you about the so the vibrant living challenge where I'm going to be inside, you'll be on the inside of this film and you'll be on the inside of your vibrant vision.
And you're one of a kind, vibrant, unique power, your special power. And we come together, we all have our vibrant journals, and when the next segment I'm going to share about this is a couple, and really we'll finally go on competing. You know, when I was growing up, I really don't, it keeps us stuck really. It's two barriers.
If you could release these two barriers, your whole world will share. And I'll defer the leisure and our health force. They'll be the audience today. They'll take your mind and conscious right for you.
So these are the two things that I have found that makes me make the most profound difference for people unconditionally. So these are two things, two barriers, visionist and survival. And so when a person is able to disengage from some survival, what does it mean? I'm not saying don't survive.
I'm saying be conscious that if your core contact is just survival and you come from survival and security, it's hard to experience a richness and wonder in living as experience called vital rhythmic pulsations. Now in terms of visionist, I noticed it seemed like there was a period of time when everybody was switching to fax machines. And people would say to me things like what they loved about the fact is they could wait a couple of days or some time and contemplate their response or something like that. So one of the things I've learned with my body to move faster, you must move slower.
Say that again. So I'm going to do slower. So as an example, in a film, and I love this Lisa and Ariel, I love in a film when I'm setting a scene with someone, I'll play with them. I'll say, you know when you start to tear up by the door and we just slow down.
And I say make that sink into that. Make that the most relevant thing. I want you to like cry as if you could let every every bit of sorrow you felt it out that moment before you got to the doorway. And by the way, don't be nice.
This is what I'm trying to be nice. This is like we got to really speak to the audience. And if you're busy focusing on nice, she'll get in the way. And I want to call it Eric Morris for this.
Eric Morris is, and by the way, he pounded on me for almost an hour. So he says, Glenn, because I love you. We're going to do this. I'm going to come here back, but I want to communicate these things.
He's like my 88 year old sense that he was so strong. And I want to thank him and tell him I do love him because I've actually called me up and he just here's the thing. When you live your life that way and you're making a film, I don't care if you're making a film, I'm not going to five people see it. You're making a film.
You are running movies in your mind. And when you run those movies, you get your running them. They have physical consequences. The purpose of the vibrant living challenge and the film, which are connected, is I make the film engaging in this thing called the vibrant living challenges, which is a three month group of people that are dedicated to have relational transformations together.
So when you look at someone, you know, this relates to acting, this relates to the film, usually we have two snapshots or two things that happen. We see the person at the script as Lisa said. Another thing that could happen is we see them beyond the script. I'll give you an example.
Sometimes, and I teach it to our meet at New York City, says, you know when you see someone begging? He goes, never give a beggar money. He goes, never give a beggar money. Because when you give someone money, see the riches in them.
When you give someone a gift or you give them money, see them as where they could be. Like this is a principle of other than one of the greatest active lunches in the world. He says, when someone walks in early and he goes, anybody can see a drug addict. He goes, what about seeing the person playing the fiddle?
And this is a relational principle. Anybody could see something that's not working. It takes true skill to see what's working and amplify it. So in this film, the two characters, Diana, and Gordon and Geine Banks, which require the characters, they have to see each other in a different way and see life in a different way.
Beyond the thought viruses, everybody around them. Then what do I mean when I say thought viruses? The people who say, well, your relationships over, it would be bad to go back there. Like all the feedback that's collapsing your relationships has a lot to do with people's feedback.
You know, I want to tell you guys how much I love Boley Madonna's. Chloe's probably one of the most significant people in my life. She took me to decide during a very tough period. And she's the person, by the way, who's responsible for taking Tony Robbins aside.
And she said to anyone there, she said, Glenn, you know, it's the girlfriend. I said, what do you mean it's the girlfriend? She said, they'll take the, they'll take, you know, they'll take people down. She focused on that.
And what she meant was that a lot of times what happens is people have their own far virus. So they have things they don't see and they pass it on to someone else. And they ask you a question in your life, and I want to ask you, Lisa and Ariel, do you see people that come around you and they say something? And it's a far virus.
They're not even conscious of it. But if you listen to it, it wouldn't appear to flow your life. It wouldn't appear to your relationships. That's a far virus.
Absolutely. All right. We'll continue, we'll continue. All right.
Let's continue. Ariel saying absolutely Lisa just a water balloon and she's ready to. You like your precious enjoy. Stay with us.

In listening to the vibrant living network on Glen Brooks, we'll ponder, we'll see the rose. Oh, you said absolutely. We're talking about the hidden world of thought viruses, the thing that, you know, right now, somehow it's smooth season. It's, you know, it's stressful because of this.
It's that it's all the knowledge of the world. It gets shared, and people forget they have their own identity, that's independent of that. And people's views and opinions from thought viruses are pretty much as dead. You know, when Paul Bragg took me aside, he was in his 90s, and he says, you know, Glen, he goes, dying is a bad habit, don't get into it.
He goes, don't buy into all the nonsense about death and dying. He says, all the people who criticized me for the last 90 years or whatever, they're underneath me now. He goes, don't let people's thoughts get in the way, just feel that vitalness. So you said, absolutely.
What came to you? What came to you awareness? What you said, absolutely? Well, I mentioned that idea of thought viruses.
So there's no question we all do with thought viruses all the time. Like I said, myself included. It doesn't necessarily need that these thought viruses can, they affect all the time. You know, there's always people that make comments, people with the right people, I say things.
You know, they're going to be rude. And yeah, I would say 90% of the time for my experience, that I can realize it. But I think for myself, yeah, as a person, you know, I've been a day on the human being, you know, sometimes, you know, it affects. I would say, basically, because I had the tools and resources needed to really work on myself to not let it affect me as much.
You know, I think it's something that, you know, these are things I can handle with daily basis. But yeah, I think we just have to, I think, morally, we just have to all realize that we've got these thought virus that are negativity and negative worries or energies of us. You know, as long as they're grounded in our own state of being, and we know we're headed and we have confidence in ourselves, you think something's going to be getting an effect of ending. It's a fluffy stupidity.
And that's why we have to try to view it. And that's how we can move on to reach out of that negative and the far-right, something more positive and productive. You know, I want to share this one thing, and I want to hear from you from what your take is. And this is the whole purpose of vibrant living, whether, you know, because I work now, I work with couples, I want to keep one of a kind talks together.
I work with teams. I'm really into vibrant teams and families and couples and this vibrant living challenge, which I love you guys to be a part of, because it's so exuberant, so opening. Here's something that I have to say with vibrant living is about. I was listening to a medical doctor talk, pretty monomonical doctor, and she was saying, this guy came to the clinic.
I think it was a Cleveland clinic. And all the doctors had diagnosed him. He had multiple tumors. They all said that, you know, he was going to pass away in the next very short time.
And Lebhemos Freud used chemotherapy. And so the doctors, they all, they all, what he called, they all, you know, agreed that he, that was it. Now he had a spontaneous remission. And she said she sat in this room with many, many doctors at this big, big clinic.
And they all agreed. They signed off on their scientific consensus, which was, it was at the chemotherapy kicked in 11 months later. And what she said, which actually loves, she said, you know, she said it's taken me 15 years to realize that with other nonsense. And in fact, it was a miraculous thing.
Listening to the listening and not letting our mechanical, our knowledge get in the way. And so she said she departed from that level of conformist listening. In the same way that people get divorced and all kinds of things happen, because we think that's a thing to do rather than let a deeper, a deeper post of listening inform us. Lisa, the thought virus equation is one of the greatest things that I've seen in my life in terms of, actually, I want to, you know, I call this club, I remember, I used to be a member of the sub club and I wasn't happy with the service and what was happening.
And he, he'd known to call me back and he gave me this line with a lot of people saying to me, he said, well, you're the only one that calls about things like this. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, people do that all the time. They deter, like, you know, Bernie's got to me many times, the guy wrote 11 minutes in a miracle. It's a hospital that people that can form and then basically, well, they die really quickly.
He said it's a troublemaker's disruptors and the, and the dark horses. Can they question? And that's uncomfortable. So Lisa, I wanted you to come into this state something here about this equation, about talk viruses and your experience.
You know, I'm actually chuckling, Glenn, because, you know, the thought virus, first of all, around aging and going into decline has always been one of my, my peckeys. I never really understood it. I never wanted to embrace it. And, you know, I loved when, you know, I started learning about, you know, Paul Bragg and his idea around, you know, health and happiness and where we could see ourselves and celebrating his, you know, 120th birthday.
And, yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean, we're fed on through the media so that you can purchase products to help keep you, you know, young and vibrant. You know, you're right when you sort of change the idea around your movie and you see yourself in that place. That's, that's where you vibrate from.
You know, I think, you know, your inspiration of getting on your bike and going out and some people would say, well, you know, oh my gosh, you know, that's a lot of biking or, you know, how you choose to spend your evenings going to the sauna or playing volleyball. And, you know, you have different individuals on your team who put their beliefs about what's possible, but you know, you don't, you never really seem to allow that to get in your way. And you go, you know, which I really admire. Thank you.
You know, you know, the night I went to play volleyball, and just one man plays, just got mad. And that is just a good man. He's just a good person. And I was, and there's a couple of people on the team, the other team, one of the, one of the, one of the players, and they have in-positional notions about how volleyball should be played.
And so I was, there's knowing it's going to be. And I was going to say something to one of those guys. This is, he's like a six-foot-five gentleman from India, but he's very, he gives, he gives in-positional feedback. And I don't think what volleyball and I don't think the teams were, were one tiger.
We need to be really in sync and coin, we need to win, coin it our best breath. I looked at Matt and I saw Matt, he basically stopped some fighting that was going on. And I had such reverence that he, he does that. He took my spirit of running to like, you know, disrupt this guy.
And his match is in this really good, he comes there and he really gets it, he's really about to be played. See, we can put, we can, we can live our lives without sports. We don't need sports, gone tomorrow. But we do need to be play.
By the way, good luck making is be play. See, deep play is really what we're supposed to be about. We're supposed to be about deep play. And it's usually, if you really listen deeply, when you're something going on, it's usually that people have been serious and tense.
When there's a so-called accident, or there's a mishap, a lot of times, people under the tension, people lose their open focus in seeing. So in this film, one of these I'm playing with, one of the camera people, and I was kind of like, how to shoot these scenes. So how we have a battle of seeing. And by the way, I have a dance coach now.
And so this is going to be an important moment. I'll be sharing with you guys, I'll be sharing clips. Because I've only just begun, I've only just begun to see this. And I want to share with you something, because he goes here on his journey, he said to me, Lucio Balson.
So he was in many movies. He played his father in a movie called Mambo Kings. And he told me before the movie, actually, he got his his father and he opened cab doors at his father. And he said it was the first time he's like, he really got his father.
Because everybody thought his father was pretty much not a bad guy, even Lucio Balson, towards the end of his life, wasn't a big fan of his senior. But it was definitely in his junior kind of guiding into his world without having a grave image or a scripted. So if you guys have your move, I don't want to just talk to you guys once a week. I want it several times a week.
Become part of my living challenge. Now every three months I give away a vacation to one of my favorite places like Staupermont, where we've got big confidence coming to. The other thing I want you to say is we learn the habit or the awareness of building our business's life beyond competing. There's no competition.
We have an uncontested market share that we could serve distinctly. And when we come together in relational intelligence and the spirit of creative success, the creative developing ourselves together, it changes the whole focus. That's relevant for our nervous system. This woman told me once, she said, you know Glenn, I didn't learn much of this guy named Kenneth.
He lost $50,000. He said he lost $2,000. It didn't really impact the rest of his day. That's pretty powerful.
So I give my number. I'm doing this thing this month. If you, I'm willing to do what I call a vibrant message portrait. I'm willing to work with you on your message.
I'm here. I want to bring on a message you've never spoken before. And if you're moved to, you know, to reveal, I'll help you reveal it to the audience. Give me a call.
I'm going to do a special series just just to January. So if you move to speak a message, you haven't spoken before. In your body can say it's shared, communicate it. I'd like to wait if you're a couple.
I'd love that as well. So if you're ready for some vibrant speaking, you know, and, you know, there's tons of interviews out there. There's tons of that. I don't do interviews.
I work with people as a conductor. I assist them in feeling and sensing that message and conveying it through their body, their soul, and their being. And also, if you want to be a host on our network, there's a six-month education period where I work with you. And you come here and you really can convince, at least it did.
I met Lisa with you fluency me here to design her own show in the Santa Cruz market. And I think if I buy your dinner, she'll tell you guys how great it was. Maybe not. She's a very generous person.
413-345-3747. 413-345-3747. You know, Lisa, I'd like to know all of you all to say that these things come to us. And we all get talk viruses and thinking.
And you got to see that when you're in a basement, right, in a basement, things look a certain way. As we develop, we need to be able to realize that consciousness, our awareness will raise and things will seem different. And that's a difference between a good day sometimes. It's not to see things from the perspective that you're showing in a low mood.
So the part of this film, the announcement, is really that this couple, sees things differently. And they see beyond the family trance, they see beyond the thought viruses. And I'm honored to say, at the deepest level, that some people, I've shared this, say this reminds them of Groundhog Day, which is one of my favorite movies. So Groundhog Day was a 13-part series by a booze philosopher, I think Oxford, who shared how people got the deep message of that movie with Transformed Over Life.
So yeah, there's many things that have touched my being. And there's so many people, some of them I don't know their names, have come in my life during a period. I didn't think I would have my life again. And so my life is an example, even though I had a relational tsunami, I never call my wife, my actual wife.
I don't use the language of death. I don't use the language of ending. I focus on a language of a beginning and seeing things anew. And in my life now, I see my mother, now my mother has not passed away.
My mother hasn't been able to speak to me and have a sense of who I am, except I feel like the people level she does. But I make it a point, like in this last month, Lisa and Ariel, I learned two things my mother did that I didn't appreciate. I didn't even realize, as an example, I talked to my girlfriend from Fort Great, Brenda Berry, and Brenda said to me, she said, you always dress so well. And all I can remember up to that point was I didn't like going shopping.
It was annoying. I didn't like it. And then I realized, oh my God, my mother, they sure looked well before I left the house. Now, the second one, Joey Callan, my best friend at junior high school.
When I was 14, I got into this idea that betting was a good idea. Kind of a dumb, dumb idea, but I did it. And I bet Joey, my rally bicycle. Thank you.
I bet Joey Callan, my rally bicycle in a tennis match. And I love tennis at pieces, okay? I lost a dang match. And Joey packed my bicycle.
I got to eat them, my friendship with him. He packed my bicycle to take on a trip to the next day. And my mother unbeknownst to me, what over it, is that Mr. Joey, unpack the bike, cut it out, give his body's bicycle back.
Joey told me that 42 years later yesterday, and I was like, oh my God, my mom's there again. And I'm thinking she's not there for me. Well, we got one our seeing comes up. We feel gratitude to wear things we aren't aware of.
And we're not, we're in a scripted reaction. Yeah, we wanted to divorce them. Yeah, we can't stand them. But we see our hormones become all, but we start to see this way.
It changes our hormones and our, it changes our seeing. And our seeing is what reveals what's really there. You know, there was a pretty famous series of books. And that was the whole theme of the books is that these, there was a scientist in these mystics.
And the mystics had a camera that really showed what happened. And the scientists couldn't see it. They couldn't see it. But the mystics were able to show them something different.
And it was like, they could just see what they were confused or felt fearful about. Come to the vibrant living challenges. It's one of the most wonderful things to share and to go back and forth as we discover, going beyond getting to our virus and the physical practices. Yeah, I think I told you, at least I'm not going to say who this was, but I couldn't believe someone I loved very much about, who's an innovator.
You know, I said to him yesterday, he's 73. And I said, when you were, I said, when we worked together, I want to see you live 160. And he told me to be happy to make it the 74. Is there any fun to like to make?
But I want to say that aging, the notion of aging as the thought virus is the notion of degeneration, it's the nature of limitation, the crepitness, like all those things. Like, you know, your parents is an example, maybe not your parents, but a lot of parents don't say to their kids, hey, it's going to be terrible one day, you're going to grow up, you're going to get stuff, it's going to be awful. And then you're going to be a retirement. And that's it for you.
No more sex or whatever. They don't say a lot of things in their body. That's why we do physical practices. That's, we got a great segment coming up.
Next segment. Only good at this moment is great. We're talking about vibrant writing. How vibrant writing can transform your relationships, how to write from your body, and how to get a sense of other people's bodies who are writing.
That's right with the pen and paper. Play with this from our albondberg and Lisa. And me, art, art, when we get to it. Well, listen up from Michigan.
I work an extra part-time job serving lunch at my child's school. But I still can't afford to put food on our table. Daniel from California. Choosing whether to pay the rent or pay to fix the car to get to work doesn't leave us with much at all.
Now we can't even pay for meals. Hunger is a story we can end. I'm not a part of the world. I'm a part of the world.
I'm a part of the world. I'm a part of the world. I'm a part of the world. I'm a part of the world.
Hunger is a story we can end. End it at FeedingAmerica.org. Brought to you by Feeding America and the Ad Council. Hello, welcome to the Library Living Network.
We don't want to ask you guys questions if you heard this spot by Paul Abdoreen on them. He should really become a hostage negotiator. I just thought he could get his voice on a bullhorn if you'd like. Hi, it's a new agent of Paul Abdoreen.
Please put your hands up and come out. Before you do, give the person an extra big hug and go to my website on New Age Recording. You've got that voice. I just think he should be helping with hostage negotiation and nervous systems for people.
So, right now writing, I had a wild story. I had something pretty wild happen. So, I want to say what vibrant writing is. Write writing is the ability to write something that you feel so deeply about.
You almost don't have words for it. That your body almost goes into a different posture because you want to express it so much. If you have a hidden message, if you want to write something about your work, you haven't been able to put your finger on. That's invisible.
That you could use someone to dialogue and assist you with. I'd love to assist you with me and my wonderful team, at least in Ariel here. And a whole bunch of other people. I realize this morning when I was just seeing what I really wanted to share people to share, I want to share this vibrant writing.
I don't really write stuff that's really hard. 99% of people are not written. We're not talking about school writing. We're talking about writing something that reveals a dimension that you want to share with people.
It's an issue going beyond competing. It's what you do. You want to express it. If you're a couple, every couple has an amplified gift together.
When we get our survival, there's another whole level of expression in abundance. So, if you're interested in vibrant writing, I did this one on colleges, Dr. Debbie Lenquist. I have a conversation with you guys right now.
She said to me, I want to help you help me write my website. This is what I do. We sit down and we have a dialogue. I think it's down.
I called it beyond belief healing. We must go beyond our beliefs to have real healing and to have real exuberant success or you want to call it fulfillment. So, the fulfillment of vibrant writing is that you write in a non-linear way. So, when you start to write this way, your body will change.
It does change. And so, one of the things that I want to share with you is that this is the segment texture is supposed to be on. It actually asks me to call this morning, which I use that. Dr.
Tester, and I watch my phones. I was like, I didn't call her. So, I want to start off by saying, can I just do show up anyway? I guess that was a no.
All right. So, I'm going to give you guys something that this segment is becoming the divorce of patterns on each other. It's also the segment we talk about vibrant matchmaking. I want to use this as a moment to say that vibrant matchmaking is a system that I was shown, that I was educated in, to a period of time of life where it's like I just, I guess it because I went through a significant relationship tsunami.
And I knew that dating got in the way. I knew that trying to get to know something got in the way. I was thinking that nonsense. It's missing so much.
So, I want to give you guys something to practice right now, whether you identify yourself as single, and then we'll have Lisa and Ariel's brilliant comments. Whether you're single or you're married, I want you guys to start a journal. I'm going to have these available soon. I don't have available right now.
We're going to have a vibrant vision journal for couples. And the way this works, even if you're single, even if you're done by yourself, part of what the challenge of being single is you identify yourself as single. I want you to start to think about your life as a we. Even if you're not with someone, I want you to begin today as if in your imagination to start to begin to feel and say, what it would be like to deliver the day from a we.
How would you practice? How would you walk together? What would you breathe together? Right now, without the outside giving you that and the way that you're used to, I want you to start to write in that vibrant couples journal what that day is like.
And I said to last week, I said, when you meet someone, actually I'm going to give you an example, one of my clients, she just said to me something. I said, when you go out the world today, I want you to feel this quality called masculine. What is the masculine? What is the masculine?
What does that mean? I'll tell you one thing. We know that's all the time of itself. We hear about during the day.
Real truth. Real awareness is always discovered in we, not me. It's discovered as a we awareness. So I said to her, when you go on to see men today and you see the masculine, what is the masculine?
What's the highest, what's the highest attribute to the masculine? The highest, not the conditioning that we hear about men, but what is the highest attribute to the masculine that humbly, the monolith you drop to your knees, that move your bones. Is that something you could relate to about the masculine? For me, you know, my partner has a saying that when you're with somebody, you're with them till the hakaps fall off.
And I'll tell you, I mean, it really defines it. You know, it's being beyond just sticking through the thick and thin. It's being there for somebody no matter what the circumstance might appear like. You know, you think about driving your car till the hakaps fall off.
But you know, for that attribute, I think that, you know, to be able to, you know, women have, the feminine tend to be a more nurturing aspect where I think, you know, that strengthen that commitment, I think is what I really admire about the masculine. All right. So you're a man, you're a man, obviously. So when you think about the thing, I was growing up, I didn't really totally get with the masculine.
I kind of caught it to other men. And let me just report, I want you to respond to your girl. So the masculine to me is this, kind of Lisa said, it's kind of this powerful presence. It's, it's patient, it's stabilizing, it's always stabilizing.
It's heroic. I was at the library yesterday, by the way, I looked at you guys' story because I asked sometimes the invisible, I kind of say, well, what should I do here with this situation? Because I'm going to start a project, sort of a dialogue project with men and women. That's going to be very unique.
We got a name for it, it's a powerful name. But I was only one decided about it. So I guess I'm going to, I was at the library and I'm sitting next to the woman. And the library was helping her so much.
And she looks at me and she goes, this librarian's great. And I said, yes, Linda is great. And she goes, she goes, we don't even, I don't even, Linda stop. She looked at her and she said, I need men in my life.
And I appreciate it in my life. And that to me was a signal to do a project. It's important to know that the women that come together and we start to really show, not the collapsing we read about men and women from men, particularly now. I read an article this morning that I called it, Me Too, Me Too, Rode Kill.
Me Too Rode Kill. The conversation is so dehumanizing. Most men couldn't survive it. I was so missing.
Who men really are? Men, who are you really? And who are you really? And I want to say go ahead.
Because nobody really is, after you see there, nobody understands the essence of men and women and what their true potential is. And also, and those that do know, they want to, they want to change it and you can gender or uniform for everybody, which also it's everyone's entire fabric of that relationship. Yes, yes. I think in a nutshell, the way you can describe masculine and feminine is like this, and this is based off of Catholic teaching also, many other traditions.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's, masculine, anything masculine usually refers to something being given, done or given over, or for actively giving over, I would say. And feminine usually refers to more receiving energy or that power and nurturing it and making it manifesting into reality.
You know, masculine can also be, because of that, that also branches down to more intellectual things, like for example, masculine, masculine, and also stems into more intellectual, intellectual, intellectuality, you know, like, we make a respect to more of wisdom, which is, which means not just wisdom, like, oh, like, he's wise in the sense, something, it's more of the fact that it's understanding that flash of knowledge of that wisdom, of the fact and seeing it for seeing it and knowing anything about it just on that flash. And then from the feminine side, you have more of what's understanding and understanding means that you see that flash, you see that flash of that, that's fact that that's different, that headline for that idea. And and you're now you're trying to understand it and you're trying to break into what it means and how it relates, and all of it's more minute and fine detail. And I think this is really the starkest difference between men and women.
And of course, you have exceptions of both. You have you have males who have feminine aspects, and you definitely have females who have massive aspects in them as well. And in general, you have these are, I would say these are the basic differences being, you know, masculine feminine and women are, and when these are projected and expressed in the proper and healthy and channel in channel way, they can bring out the potential for both sides of that, and we'll help you as a relationship as possible. And I think, you know, I was just going to say that there's a few women, tons of women really, but some women who come in my life, I want to acknowledge Dr.
Bowery Hahn, one of my greatest teachers and family members ever, Dr. Bowery Hahn, scientist at UCLA who was studying energy goes from around the world and really revealed the scientific reality of what that was about just brilliant. I'd be on the phone with the two, three hours, and I'm actually my last conversation with the guy, Dr. Ressoul was in the night, right, again, when I called my relational tsunami.
I want to thank Catherine, who medical doctor, she said to me, she says, Glenn, you saw me, no one has seen you, my parents had seen you, medical people, medical school, I want to say that we need each other. See, what they did with, I guess you could say in the exchange was they acknowledged in language something and helped me bring it forward to another level. Same thing with Janet, Janet came to see me in the summer and she called me a love visionary, but she said it with her full heart, she didn't say it to be entertained to be cute, she said, Glenn, what you're about is being a love visionary, and it was like, it had me take notice of something. That's the power and purpose of having a transformational dialogue together, to have sincerity about it in reverence, because we bring things forward, the miraculous begins by agreement and awareness of an agreement.
See, it's the people make vows, they think about vows in your wedding, living those vows, and total help cash flow off, each moment breathing that and feeling the rhythm of that together. That becomes that whole thing that, you know, when you read the biologist, the guy wrote the biology believe, he talks about the idea that you change it. What's your name? Dr.
Bruce Lipton. Okay, Dr. Bouss, please send at least a big pie or something. That was a bonus point question.
He just won the bonus one, that was a little show, so get her a Jewish pie again. Yeah, so what happened is, it's not abstract, it's not abstract, it's kind of like, we lived in these small universes together, we impact each other so, I mean, the death virus, when I see people eradicated, they're my heroes, I mean, I really, I had a woman, I mentioned, you wrote a book, who says so, she had a self in her mess, but it's not the one healing, it's the ongoing thing, that's why this film, what this film is really about is bringing this trip of life or this winter's into your life, and not letting the scripts and the beliefs and the story and the movement of the film and the characters is when I'm humbled and inspired. And by the way, inviting the characters up, I get to meet these people and bring, have the opportunity to have a partnership, acting relationship with them, that's what I'm exuberant about. I'm going to share this in the vibrant living challenge, starting the beginning of January, I want you guys to be part of it, if you're ready to go to the level, and you haven't enough just reading books and having concepts and you meditate on your own forever, and you're ready to have a relational meditation division, please join us, 413-345-3747, 413-45-3747.
What do you want to say, at least since you won that bonus go round, anything you want to share with her on your end, that was a pretty significant win for her. I just want to say, yeah, so I think he definitely deserves the Jewish pizza, with lots of mata, and gift, and drink some of that. That's a good new combo, new combo, new competition. I wish at least, as many things as we should find, whether it's travel in the world, trying poetry in the mountains, it's a bad.
Have you had a pizza with kyftl? I can't say that I have. Exactly. You know it's been close to your heart.
You'd be having glutafits, so it's along the same lines. Oh. I like to hang on to Finland for a month in the summer. I like to feel like with Finland, like, I think Finland.
Have you been to Norway? No, it's on my list of things to do, I still have family there, so absolutely I would have to go. It's interesting that the beginning of the conversation today is so tied into what you're saying, though, about rewriting and writing a script and also envisioning your life. It really got me to think, here we are, we're approaching the end of the year, and what is that you do want to revisit.
When you have a team of individuals that can encourage you to play and to try on a hat and see things see the world in a new way, I think it's very powerful. So, as you said, it's so beautiful and so well. I needed your part of the brain conscious to share that. I needed your brain conscious to R.L.
We are a team of our children. Join our team at 413-345-3747. Thank you. Thank you, Lisa and R.L.
and all you guys. Stay with us. And by the way, we're expanding our private living network. Thank you, Chris.
