Summary
*This episode was recorded at cabins in the woods on both ends! There was a tech glitch near the end but we cleaned that up as well as we could, you'll just miss the usual sign-offs. In this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about… * the rollercoaster of thoughts that play through our minds * remembering our humanity within whatever we’re feeling * the intensity of these current times and the many uncertainties * making time for nature, no matter where you are (plants!) * the power of visualizing nature through meditation * not “shoulding” our thoughts away, not even the hard ones * the fears and insecurities we feel at major crossroads * how we stay in miserable situations just to avoid the fear of change * our soul’s desire for evolution, not comfort * Jacob’s decision process in ending his marriage * the importance of focusing on the potential benefits of a change, especially because our minds will always focus on the negatives * the ability within each of us to call on our courage, to be willing to be courageous * distinguishing between an intuitive impulse and an ego-driven impulse * taking small steps when making big changes * the willingness to consider our comfort, especially in uncomfortable situations * our inherent intuitive gifts * Jacob’s experience doing the exercises he recommended in his own book Here’s the poem Scott read today, by e.e. cummings: I thank You God for most this amazing day For the leaping greenly spirits of trees And a blue true dream of sky And for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes I who have died am alive again today And this is the sun's birthday This is the birth day of life and of love and wings And of the gay great happening illimitably earth How should tasting, touching, hearing, seeing, breathing any Lifted from the no of all nothing Human merely being doubt unimaginable You? Now the ears of my ears awake And now the eyes of my eyes are opened
