Your life is precious. Enjoy it. Hello, Glenn Brooks. It's good to be with you today.
I wanted to thank Laura who called me back the other day and she told me when it meant to her. I told her I appreciate you. I said I appreciate you. She said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said that to me.
Usually people say they appreciate it or that. I have a book published in the book. One of the chapters in the book is called Golden Feedback. And Golden Feedback, what I'm talking about is that the feedback that we get, the Golden Feedback, it does shift our lives.
It does allow us to bridge new worlds. And another way to say it, that Golden Feedback invokes us. It invokes and summons the part of us. That's not a counterfeit.
It's a part of us that if there's a live place in us, and I've had many Golden Feedback moments. One of them, I was working with this guy in LA at a foundation called the New Beginnings Foundation, Max Green. And he says, go on if you ever need me. This is like almost 25 years ago.
So if you ever need anything, call me day or night. Call me day or night. I was going through a very tough cycle. And I called him like three in the morning.
And I called the answer to the phone. He says, he goes, I'm so appreciative that you took my offer. And I would say 80% of what was really challenging me left, he embraced that call. He embraced me in a very powerful way.
So vibrancy, the currency of vibrancy is relational. So the more that we take those moments to really sense the exchange we're having and appreciate what's there. The more we get into what I call the vibran collaborations, I want to welcome Lisa LaRose, who I just deeply appreciate the word appreciated. And in chronological time, I've been at Lisa over 18 years.
And she's been there in a very deep way. She's been, I think, on a working with her on an event and having her be my client. Now she's just a family member, Lisa LaRose producer, extraordinaire, trusted advisor. There you are.
Yeah. And I appreciate you as well. I really deeply honor the wisdom and all of the vibran connections that you bring forth and the things that you challenge us all with and invoke and invite us to explain to you. And also, you know, we have a lot of new explorations and welcoming our new team member.
They cute and, you know, excited to explore all of the nuances and the thing that you bring forth as well. I hear that you are not just with men like that also that you all have lots of other interests beyond, you know, the spiritual network. You're very interested in bringing forth new products and I hear that something you're into my heart from talk with along the way. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, it's wonderful to be here. It's kind of a natural smile flowering from my heart right now. Everything in my life over the last 10 years has really unfolded the way it's supposed to. And yes, you know, relationships are a huge part of that.
It definitely resonates very strong for me. So I feel this is another one of those instances where it's natural, it's organic and vibrant way that it's supposed to. So again, on the on the on the tagline of appreciation that is definitely resonating with me. Yeah, that's great.
Okay, one who have a unique. I also want to end up. We got Ari on board right now. Ario?
No, Ario. Ario Bondberg. I call him. He's our New York producer.
He's one of those people that I had an instant deep appreciation for. You know, I had a client. I'm very unusual client. Again, I got named Robert J.
Sterner Robert J. Sterner. And I think I wrote the most like audacious letter to this big TV show in Baltimore about Robert. I hadn't met him yet, but he really intrigued me.
And he sent me a take called Red Canalite Thoughts, Red Canalite Thoughts. And in the tape, he talked about it at the end of every day, no matter what happened. And he gives an example of he at one point, he's like he had been bankrupt and the sheriff was coming to collect his furniture. And he said that he somehow had this connection with the sheriff.
The sheriff didn't take us from the sheriff. He gave him another 20 days or whatever. He talked about having this gratitude, this appreciation for every event that day. And like someone held a door for him or just different things.
And he was such a character, Robert. He told me any time I wanted to call him, he used to hold these gratitude meetings. One of his visions was to get a Rolls Royce. And when he drove with his garage, literally he had all these pictures of a Rolls Royce.
And he had these gratitude meetings by the beach and calls back to California. And the point of his Red Canalite Thoughts, he actually felt that gratitude today that the sheriff is in. He was already in gratitude. The thing from a current is like beyond what he could see.
Beyond the appearance. Beyond the appearance. He felt that gratitude. So the Bible, he was one of the people I would say that influenced me when I started to think about this notion of the vibrant living challenge, which is a three month program or a three month, three month experience of challenge.
And the challenge, in a Sufi word for the challenge, I'm not 100% sure of the meaning. What Leylis told to me was that a Sheila is dealing with a challenge, but it transforms in community and partnership and in team. So I got around people that really would bring that out of me and really see that. One of them was a guy named Kevin Foley.
Kevin Foley. I went to his lecture. He was a local college professor. And I went to his class.
And I remember, I came back, I was in my early 20s and he said to me, you know, because I tell him I bring something back to the class. And he said, your word is good as gold. I always know one who ever said that to me. I wasn't even clear about my word.
And him saying that I really, it just sort of really struck me, sort of, you know, impacting me. And so the Bible Living Challenge is, it's a three month program where I ask people what's possible beyond possible get a book. And so I asked different questions. And I was the question of the challenge.
What's possible, impossible, and have a vibrant vision. To see that, you know, in your day, to see what deeply, deeply moves you. And what I sort of discovered was that people function much better, 80% than 100%. That somehow we're supposed to, we're supposed to be watching tiger, you watch animals move.
You see that they, their resting positions allow them to, they're free to move. They kind of give, even in a tree, a pool, make it move. And so this sense of like unloading or unwinding, or being underwhelmed is this really wonderful place to move from and breathe from. And so I ask people to kind of build that in their days during the Bible Living Challenge.
And what we do is we have a vibrant partner, a vibrant vision partner, and the whole group partner. And you kind of participate with listening in a different way. And, you know, I went to what I called my relational tsunami seven years ago. It really, I got to reexamine everything.
And we go through these cycles. And as we sort of develop this new quality of listening, it kind of purifies us, because of this other sense. I was going to let you tell a story, Nate, about a time that you went to a vibrant vision, the time that everything in your mind, and what was kind of like, what was the moment in your life where you had to go deeper than what you knew. And how was it for you?
A moment we had to go to a vibrant vision that wasn't obvious to you. What was, what was that like? Yeah, I mean, I've had many of them. And I think I've shared some of them before.
So I won't overdo some of the ones I've shared before. So how about a recent one? Because these things do keep me up in our lives, right? We can't fool ourselves into thinking that we've reached a clear vision that's always going to be clear for us.
What you say rings very true that there is a place of going back and reflecting, giving ourselves some space to relax, to have that natural unfolding occur. When we constantly go through the day to day, the nuances of everything that we have to do is kind of like this task driven work schedule that a lot of people follow. And they carry that throughout their process of their life. When they get home, they have to do ABC and D.
And then before they go to bed, they have to do this. And then they have to make up that allow any time for reflection. It's a complete distraction. It's a complete hindrance to align us to really look inside ourselves to see what we really have to do.
And we can really be doing something that's pure and that really aligns with us. But if we don't turn back in, we still can get into those ruts. And just last year after working here at Menla for many years, I got to a point where I was really wondering what I was supposed to be doing. And so I got in my car and took a couple weeks off because I knew I needed that perspective.
I knew that I would not going to answer the question to the same habitual thought patterns that I carried throughout my day from the geographical location that holds those patterns and reinforces those patterns in us. And I needed just a new landscape to really reflect. And so I got down there and I sat on the beach and I meditated for day after day and just kind of let things come to me until it felt right intuitively and feel everything resonated back within me. And what I realized was that there were some other things that I was supposed to be doing, but I was too focused 100% on my men will work and not giving myself some creative outflows such as the chocolate business.
That's where that really unfolded with the beach meditation. I'm staying on beach on down in Florida. And what it did though was it lightened everything for me and it said, no, you are doing what you're supposed to be doing at Menla. You just need to approach it a little more in a light-hearted fashion.
And maybe you're being too forceful and trying to make things happen there. And maybe they're going to unfold in their own way. And you just need to support that unfolding as opposed to trying to push your own vision on things. And so I came back with that mindset and I came back with that creative flow to start Abbejita's chocolate business because that resonated with me on another level of creating the product because I'm very entrepreneurial and allowed me to do a product that supports some of the social visions that I want to support, which is sustainable farming, saving the bee population.
And on top of that, creating a healthy product that aligns with the spiritual world, the product that is known for its medicinal properties, that's known for its ritualistic properties, I'll tie it in. I'll tie it into what I was doing here because I'm still in that world and that's where that chocolate's going to be sold to within this retreat world and people that circle in and out of that spiritual world. And it really is just about coming back and having that time to reflect. And we can probably tie this into relations as well because I had a lot of really close friends in my life that when I said, hey, this is what I'm thinking, they all reflected back to me.
This is absolutely right. This is absolutely you. This is what you need to move forward. I think it becomes almost like your soul's calling me that you kind of tune into the wisdom and you pay attention to what that is.
When you don't feel you're pursuing something that really moves you, I think exactly that you start to feel empty and you don't know where it is and you try to fill it other way. So we need to be able to take that time to distance yourself and center yourself and really tune into your inner wisdom. That's really beautiful. So thank you for sharing that.
Of course, and I think it's an important perspective that we have to keep telling ourselves over and over because we do take it for granted how important it is to reflect because sometimes we really think we are doing what we're supposed to be doing and we are right but maybe we just have to shift a little bit and how we're approaching what we're doing to make it feel more vibrationally correct with us. Mm hmm. No absolutely. I was really blessed and we're just going to take a moment to appreciate and thank the way to empower to expand and apply our life institute that hosted me last weekend.
And it was a gathering of individuals that you know, through, you know, whether or not they were in marketing before they kind of read a several their their soul calling and channel different ways that they can communicate. You know, how to make this world a little bit better place by doing their part. It was really nice to be able to explore and to listen to the shared window in a different environment. I had never been to the Detroit itself before, other than just in the airport and to touch in with a lot of individuals that did have incredible messages that they felt compelled and guided to share.
It was really nice and, you know, I thought Detroit from not what my perfection for what you think that it is but some other really important nuances and some very, very interesting things along the way. I just want to again acknowledge even boxing. Michaela Sheldon for their warm welcome and for all of the people that I met while I was there. It was a nice nice discovery and I'm sure.
They were they were they were this the more vibrant living. They were this the more vibrant living going to talk to you guys about a film that I'm working on and and all the announcement and talking about a principle of revisioning and every vision can really turn your life around making connections. Your life is enjoyed. We'll continue with you in a moment.

My passion is sifting through information, research and innovations from new thought teachers, speakers and researchers pushing back the boundaries of what we know about life, energy, metaphysics and the universe.

One of my mantras, I share with people along with Nate News, Lisa LaRose, the vibrant living teams with you right now. I don't know if I already have this, because I've arrived here. I already have Bombard. Yeah, I'm here.
Okay, welcome. Welcome. Thank you. I told you when you come, you've got to blow a horn or something.
I've got to know you're here. It's a significant moment. I know I arrived in the classroom. I knew it was time to take a nap.
One day I went to the bookstore and I realized, oh, I rather be reading these books. So I brought my books I got from the bookstore, but the bookstore became sort of my thing. Then I would contact authors and people. I had these miraculous meetings.
So in New York City, New York City, she's still around. I met a fashion model, Tony DeMarco. She wrote a book called The California Way to Natural Beauty. She told me that her cosmetics were hurting her.
So I went to her apartment in New York. The first seminar I ever put together was her seminar, in her little apartment in New York. I was looking through her stuff and she had these newspaper clippings. The newspaper clippings were things that were going to happen next year in her life.
So she had these vision broadcasting posters and newspaper clippings. So when you arrive, it's a big deal. I'm really happy you're here. So I was going to say that I got trapped a little bit the last few days.
I had a technology glitch where I somehow blocked someone very close to them. I didn't block it myself on my phone with a lot of phone number. I felt really sad about this. I felt like, what happened?
Because I say to people that assumptions and conclusions are the conclusions of the poison and relationship. That assumption is the conclusions. So last night about midnight at one of the morning, how did it make a conversation with her? I was so happy to see that.
There were two things that happened in the conversation. I realized that our separate realities that we assume we live from gets in the way, our separate realities. And then also to be able to share how our monkey minds trick us. Because one of the things that I noticed is that, or that I'm really into is that we can actually, if we practice it, we can actually kind of tune into each other in a way that's bigger than our local mind.
And at the same time, I had a glitch that was very humbling to realize that the technology and how it's gotten into our lives. It's so so and so profound. We kind of rely on it. And we take things personally.
And I didn't really the impact that I had on this person, the way it's really treasure. So when I wanted to get into an exploratory with the whole team here, and I wanted to talk about the revisioning principle. I wanted to get into what revisioning is. And sort of being in a place where I had no solutions.
I've been sort of one of the pioneers in the field of coaching. I spent seven days with a psychiatrist that was, I thought was just on it. He traveled the world. He's Robert Shaw.
He traveled the world. And his main interest was who these people that produced mastery? What is mastering how it was produced? And in my own way, I was wondering that too.
I wondered why is it that certain people would go someplace? It could be a teacher, it could be an architect. So they are like, what do you say about certain people? That when you get around them, where they come from?
They're presuppositions. The things they presuppose. The way that they believe, the way they are impacted so deeply. And I kept sort of noticing that in my life.
And I heard about the psychiatrist. And I couldn't go. I couldn't do the course. I wasn't a lawyer or a medical doctor.
But I met with these people. And they invited me to be on the team. So all of a sudden I was on the team. And we started out with that question.
What's possibly impossible? And for seven days, we kind of looked at and explored how this presupposition, how this impacts our lives, you know, with the therapists in the room, based on insurance and other factors, and the manual for diagnostics, you kind of look at mental health, which is in this very, well, kind of rigid linear way. So the people that Bob discovered around the world, they had to send out a whole criteria. And so that really began to shape me.
And I began to see coaching clients. And I remember this one client came to me. His name was Richard Wampeldor. Richard came to me.
Richard Wampeldor. And he always believed really the first time he left early, I thought, wow, that must have been early bad session. But he would have to teach me that value is bigger than time. That value is something that gets kind of designed or created.
And you could also relate this to presence. I sometimes call it relational presence. And I had the deep deep honor working with people, one of the inspirational and vibrant speakers. And how we impact with people and to watch this thing about the presuppositions, you know, like you get around certain cultures, you know, you take the world of relationships and dating.
And there's a lot of thought viruses in that world. A lot of thought viruses, a lot of caution. And funny enough, it's big enough that people in the spiritual community. So I'm going to get into the principle of revisioning.
I want to get your comments. So about seven or eight years ago, approximately about eight years ago, I took my wife barefoot hiking at the Omega Institute and run back New York. And I was doing a serious in Atlanta on the healing power of facts that he'll have to kill. And I realized that something I want to share with you, we're going to go to appreciation.
Sometimes we forget that these moments we share with people are so profound and so alive, right? There's these kind of luscious moments. And sometimes our linear brain just goes on about something else. But really, these relational moments we have with people are so harmonizing, awakening, vitalizing that really the people around us really share this experience of vital rhythmic pulsations, right, by rhythmic pulsations, is that's what you're selling a bunch of off.
So, you know, we came back from the Omega Institute and Donna had gotten in one way. I was a young lady on this called her beautiful face, her beautiful face. I talk about how to make a difference when someone's around you, when they have an illness or an illness that's considered, you know, very severe. And because I kind of discovered another path of love with Donna that I had never seen before when this happened.
So I didn't tell you what happened. But what happened was she'd come back and, kind of like six weeks later, she started having very, she didn't feel good. And no one seemed to know why. And the local doctor who I actually liked a lot, he was a Buddhist Charles Burma.
And he explained to me one day that these things happen all the time. He's kind of telling me that she got a, maybe a straight from a razor and that caused this skin infection. And so I thought, okay, this is going to resolve. But it didn't.
What happened was she kept getting sick, more sick. And one day I woke up and her face was frozen. It was a weirded thing. I thought, like, I'm going to have it to my eyes.
But in the midst of this crisis, in the midst of this thing that was happening with Donna, it really, really put me in touch. With the deep love I felt for her in ways I could never articulate. So if you're going through a crisis, and it's really derivative on that, as you're moving through it, you know, in some ways there's the sky and the clouds in the sky. And the sky is really this big way of being in touch with these moments we have.
You know, like, just these little moments. We get up from the table just the fact we're moving and breathing these little things. So this was the beginning of something that would go on to totally change my life forever. So what I did when she finally, I didn't really know what Lyme disease was eight and a half years ago.
I really understood it. I kind of had a way, but wasn't, you know, I kind of heard about it. I heard about West Nile disease. I've been on my, of course, on all these people who are producing mastery experiences around health and well-being.
And beyond that, beyond the survival level, they're really getting people in touch with by tally, you know, vitals. I think if we go to the class and the whole class is about going beyond survival. And this is what I want you guys to consider this next month, just a little assignment. When you listen to people, listen to where they're coming from is basically survival, you know, language.
You know, they're just meeting, are they just getting by, you know, in their body and their expression, this is a little vibrant speaking thing, it's like, or do you have a sense that in some ways, what's happening is that going to this other level of vibrancy. And when they speak, they kind of glow. There's a glow about this. There's an energy, right?
So, as this process occurred, and I had this shift full of facial ball palsy, it, my first priority in the middle of being really shocked, and my teacher told me before she, my last conversation with Dr. Valerie Hunt, who was, and my estimation, the greatest, what she was a scientist, she was just a discoverer of what made people incredibly healthy. She really understood what energy medicine was. She was profound.
She was just, she was, she was really impacted me. She took me in her heart as soon as we met each other. And she, the last conversation we had, she said to me, you know, live shock. When someone gets shocked, it goes to a more subtle into their body.
So she said once, she said freedom from life. She's telling this to me. I'm feeling the sense of life shock. She says, Glenn, you gotta free ourselves from life shock.
So, what happened is, is she, you know, with Donna, so how I just got my shit lined with these? No one around the local medical community, didn't have a clue. But I had talked to Dr. Stephen Bach, this goes to this, this goes to a vibrant, you know, collaboration.
I talked to Stephen Bach, and I, he just befriended me immediately. He gave me a soap on the soapbook. And he told me, he says, you know, there's only a few things I could cause. I think it was, it's probably Lyme disease.
It was immediately, he goes, I want you to do treatment. So that was the first sign from the divine. That was the first sign that's, and this is, of course, this was out of my little town. No one in town had said this.
We've been to the emergency room. We've been to different doctors. So I knew immediately, and I was in touch with my heart about this. I felt it was a great calling.
And I didn't feel this love for Donna as deep and as aware as I had it then. And so I, actually we proceeded to make this very unusual infectious disease, but what was unusual about her was she, what asked me, we had this incredible conversation. She was really curious. She was curious what I was learning.
Because of course I, I decided to just dedicate myself to this thing that was happening. Now I mentioned revisioning. So what is the principle of revisioning? Because this is really relevant.
So when you go through something, and this is a beautiful thing to do with your partner, by the way, is that we all have appearances in events that occur. And then you're revisioning. You see, we'll see it in a different way. And it can be very simple, you know, like even in your day, but in a good time to practice this, in a period of relationship, at least together in the morning, in the evening.
And you could put this under a relational meditation practices, which include gazing and touching. And this will be covered in a new format by re-intimacy. So I began to, to a lot of shots, I began to sort of revision this a little bit away. And little by little, I would meet people.
And that people from all around the country, I met, there's a clinic in Wisconsin, it's an anthroposophical clinic. And Dr. Steve Johnson, now I want to tell you the turning point. Steve Johnson was an anthroposophical doctor.
He had recommended some remedies that he thought would help. They had a kind of an anthroposophical medicine, it's kind of based on the development of the soul. So he trained as a medical doctor, but also had this education in anthropology. So I want to tell you guys about a conversation that was really profound in this, what I'll call bribing collaboration.
So bribing collaboration is going beyond exchanging, bordering, or trading. It's actually the experience of new prosperity together. And it took me a long time to kind of discover this and really kind of get what this was. So I called this neurologist.
I have an an anterologist in Portland. And I'm sort of asking for guidance because the whole world has changed around me. My wife went from radiant wellbeing really to very healthy. And then she could barely stand up and then she's done a few very labored.
And I'm feeling the sense that my life is changing ways I couldn't describe, I couldn't express, I feel really alone. I just feel really sort of out of touch with that vibrant pulse and getting a know with the central. It's like a whole neurologist. And he says something to me, I wanted to share with you guys.
And this is also part of the revision. So when you're revision something, in some sense, I was thinking about this, you're imagination is kind of like your lover. Like when you really love your imagination, you're what I call your awakened imagination, little whispers, little things occur that you see and pay attention to. But often our counterfeit, our noisy minds miss.
So what happened was I had this appointment. And I felt this appointment was appointment I suppose to have. And I couldn't explain how the even deployment occurred. I knew I suppose to speak to this guy.
And this is going to get us into this film that I'm working on called the announcement and more about revision. And by the way, anyone of you guys can jump in. I'm sure I'm singing this song, that's about vibrancy. And we're in this living wisdom moment if you will.
So I called it in a row which is up. Oh, could you believe it? We're going to pause for a moment here. Let me talk about revisioning.
Talk about the movie, the film, the announcement. It's really about the miracle of reunion. And I'm going to share with the neurologist that neurologist said, we continue here on Vibre looking on front books. And my beautiful team, my great team members.
Are we all? Lisa? Nate. Hi, this is new age Grammy winner Paul Avgerinos.
Thanks for listening to Home Times Radio. And please support my peaceful healing music with a purchase at iTunes, Amazon, or wherever you shop for fine music. Just put my name into the search engine. Paul Avgerinos, A, V like Victor, G like George, E-R-I-N-O-S.
You can also visit me at roundskymusic.com. Thanks for listening and I'm wishing you the brightest of blessings. Hey Dr. Phil here.
You know, I help people solve difficult problems every day, but one problem has me stopped childhood hunger. Nearly 16 million children in America struggle with it. Luckily, the Feeding America network of local food banks collects surplus food giving hope to hungry children and their families. But they need your help.
Join me in supporting Feeding America and your local food bank at FeedingAmerica.org. I brought to you by Feeding America and the audience. I'm going to brush your listening to the vibrant living network. We're expanding our hours with some new wonderful new programs and inspirational speakers along with Lisa LaRose, Nate Hughes, Ariel Bondberg.
And I want you to share with you and I want to talk about this film, but I have this point with this neurologist. And he says to me something that really strikes them and says, you know, when a person gets ill, their soul forces leave their body. This is a principle of our bodies. When we get ill, we get kind of bumped.
We start to leave the body a little bit. And he said to me, what you need to do is to find something that Donna absolutely loves. So she can paint that for the soul forces. So actually saying this to me, I spoke to him about an hour and a half.
I love these meetings by the way. I love being profoundly interested in a world, kind of that world within that world. I was so fascinated. He was an neurologist.
And I was faster than he had his practicing the soul in that sense. So he said, find something that Donna could really wake her soul up. So as he said that to me, to my left, there was a catalog of earth shoes, earth shoes, catalog on these earth shoes. I brought Hughes laying in the background on a white sheet.
So she's laying on a white sheet because you can see ticks on a white sheet. So I brought the earth shoe catalog to her and I said, Donna, I said, please pick a pair of shoes. I knew she loved shoes. So she picks this red pair of earth shoes and I called her shoe up and told her I wanted her to review these.
Oh, an item to me, she had a shoe the next day. So it wasn't, you could say it wasn't, it wasn't the shoes, but it brought something forward. It brought like a new life energy together. I often sometimes play with people that that was a significant turning point.
So it's going beyond the appearance and event. And in terms of golden feedback, this is a big part of the by-roading challenge, which I'd like you to be part of. It's a wonderful experience and you get to really be an exemplifier and you feel a level of team and intimacy that is so deep and wonderful. So I invite you to be part of the by-roading challenge.
I'll give you my context. So the shoes came and it really shifted her life. But then with some other, it was the next level of unfoldment. And on that level, I felt I was losing her and we had the separation.
And it took me about a year and a half to go through this. It was the most heartache that I ever felt. It's funny because I of course experienced more love. I saw this people that I was with her.
I knew that I dedicated myself to her. And so what happened was I had a series of visions. I had a series of visions or dreams. I called them soul-seems.
And I started to see this film in conjunction with the book. It's called Divorce the Patterns, Not Each Other. Divorce patterns not each other. So the film, which we're going to kind of get, I want to check with my vibrant living panel here, my vibrant living team here.
I just want to stop because this is usually Dr. Teshna's segment. And Dr. Teshna's traveling.
And we're going to continue the segment. We're going to read it next week. It's absolutely remarkable. And talking about how she transformed her brain, her soul and her body to live a totally different life.
You guys are going to love it. We're also going to be doing a regular format together. So I want to stop right now before I go into the movie in this principle of revisioning. I want to see if any of you, something's bubbling because I'm interested to see what's bubbling is.
I'm interested to see what's bubbling before I say anything more. I'm kind of pointing to how I think. I think everything you're touching on is very powerful, at least for me. And maybe some people have gone through it or will go through it.
But there's definitely a point in relationships. Not just romantic relationships that we can fade from other people. And I think that there is a point where that fading is beneficial because we don't necessarily align spiritually. But there are also our times when there are beneficial spiritual relationships that can wane a little bit too.
And those definitely come from times and weaknesses in our life. And I myself had to touch back to this last winter where I actually had come down with Lyme's disease myself. And Lyme's disease is a various, a city of disease that creeps up on us and affects the neurological circuits in our bodies if we're not really aware of it. And I've affected some of my relationships because I wasn't really there.
And I can tell that I wasn't really there. Took an immense love for myself. And some sun, not gonna lie, and some sun, to come back with myself and really feel myself open back up. And when I came back, all of my close friends just looked at me and said, my god, you're radiating again.
You look like yourself. You look better than your old self kind of thing. So, I think that this really is a powerful thing that I don't hear spoken about very much because it's almost heretical in the line of Buddhist thought to say that you know, where somebody different or part of our energy leaves us when we're sick because we're supposed to have this equinamous mindset no matter where we are, even in the stoic line of thought. thought, right?
We're supposed to be grateful wherever we are, we're glad we're handed to us and look at these things as gifts and be grateful for them because they challenge us. And I think we can toe that line and hold that mindset, but we have to be realistic at what's really happening in our bodies when that happens. And if we can do that, then we can finally move to the place where we bring the energy back into us. And I think that's really what you saw there and really powerful.
Thank you. Are we all? Did you even get to go on? Yeah.
I totally agree and resonate with what Nita said. And I was actually something along the similar lines. You know, as many of you know, I just want to mention plenty of times on air. You know, I recently actually got married several about nine to months ago in January.
And you know, my getting experience through of course, it's something that we experience in all relationships. I think it really plays out the most for family in terms of dating and marriage. You know, as an ortho-axx, you know, I hear strongly to my language, which is more aligned with, you know, capitalistic teachings and very similar to Buddha's thought. And we also see real so, you know, our train to be grateful for every opportunity that rises, whether it's good, and especially when it's not good, because the situation that art that's who us are in good are really from the highest, from the highest level of good, which is not yet revealed.
And I think that I saw my own life, but it's not through dating. Because you know, as many of us know, when we date, we meet new people and we try to connect, find a right connection with the right one. You know, we go through lots and lots of lots of ups and downs and challenges and emotional, mental and even physical struggles as well. And you know, for obviously for myself, there's no difference.
And what capitalistic teaching, what Kabbalah teaches is that it is especially so when you're trying to find your one, that each person that you're dating, and that you're meeting, each step of the way, it's not just something to be grateful for, which of course, it's definitely true. There's no question about it. But each step is another step closer to finding right one and each person you meet helps you to help to rectify yourself, the work on yourself, and to improve yourself on all different levels, including spiritually. So that when you meet the right one, you're in the right frame of mind, body and spiritual beating in order to really become the vessel to receive, you know, that right person and to connect that person on the best level of possible.
And I can definitely say that, you know, I can definitely see this in all relationships, business, personal, social, etc. But I think, you know, I can only see for myself, I definitely see this, you know, even worse, I want to come through, you know, finding yourself in your life and finding the one that you want to connect it for the rest of your life. But it's something I've seen, you know, when I met my wife, it was something I was able to really process and really understand, you know, after going through years of, you know, dating and meeting people and, you know, traveling here and there to really, you know, find the right one for me. I just want to say that one of my purposes is that my purposes is the end is to end the world of dating.
No more dating. That is really about relating. So related beyond nature, relating. So I wanted to share with you guys.
I love what you said, Ariel and Nate, Lisa, I want to share this one thing. So part of what was happening was when I felt this one world was falling away, I realized on some level, this is sort of, I don't know what that's on a side thing. When I was like 11, I'm giving a chronological age to this. But I realized that I never quite understood or got even a little bit of what divorce was.
I just couldn't get it. I just remember like it waves through me and I thought, how could it be that people love each other? I remember having that awareness, I don't like that short of unusual curiosity. So this is what's happening.
I, through these kind of, I guess you could say what I call soul themes, I saw another way of being with this. And at some point, I saw, I saw, because I would discuss, a lot of what I would discuss is people would call me, literally, I would be selling a car. I mean, all these different things that people would always ask me about their relationships. And I realized when I would get around people, I could feel incensed how they work together.
And one day I was biking on a bike path, I was on the way to do a show. And I called my mentor, Dr. Norm Schirley. And I said, Norm, this whole thing, he was my 54 years.
I just loved Norm. And I said, no, it doesn't make sense to me. But people try to get to know each other. This doesn't make sense.
I go, it just seems to find out it seems like it's missing something deeper. It seems like recognition matters that we meet someone would cultivate that recognition in this quality, one scripted lot. And he said, yeah, he goes, I met my wife, he was dating someone else. I had immediate recognition.
And when I said, we kind of connected, you know, we were almost like, it was almost like almost immediate. But what the thing is, is that, and you said, they really well, there's a lot of people, it's kind of like, it's like McDonald's, I guess I guess I guess I'm just gonna get a lot of exposure. You kind of go in and out, you know, so dating is kind of this sort of, this is the deeper recognition. So when I saw I saw this thing about vibrant matchmaking, you know, I thought, well, how this is sort of the next opening, the next thing, and then I saw what relational teams, and that as much you could say good, once they good, their personal transformation has brought us, it's mis-relational transformation.
It's missed his depth of relationship and intimacy that it's almost like the language changed over the last 30 years. All of a sudden, there was a lot of stuff about independence. There was a lot more, we missed a lot of this relational piece. And by the way, the wonder of the feminine, the masculine, we missed how they came together, and what was the stick and wonders about them.
So it was almost like, you know, this is, I'll say real quickly what the film is about, the announcement, you know, obviously the revisioning principle. And so from an awakened imagination thing, when I would go to sleep at night, imagery wise, and I took this, I worked with my speakers on this, my body would actually move in different positions, because I knew the character had to express the character, the students, this Diane Banks and Gordon Banks, and it's a story of how they come back together after they were married 27 years, they were separated seven years. And it's a story of how they physically, how this takes us beyond what I call the thought virus of divorce, and shares this new love equation, which really, I didn't know this at the time, but Dr. Sue Johnson, who will be with us, she's documented this scientifically, the Dalai Lama said something and always just stuck with me.
He said, we need to look at the latest science on something. So the last 100 years, most of the beliefs and stuff we function on is based on that when there's a wounded attachment. We separate right? And all of a sudden, persons terrible, we got the divorce on.
And what we've missed is that in relationship, we actually transform each other and that by the way, we see each other, we bring out these qualities. So this is a film. I've got, I want to say, when I travel, I talk to people about the film, it's one of the in the film, they like part of the film, I'll be in the film. And I'm honored to say that Eric Morris will be my acting coach, I feel he's one of the word of a call to know more acting, please.
So this is a film and story, the sort of the opposite of what we think about it. It's a story of a couple that deepens their love and goes beyond the legal documentation. And it's also based on going down to local mind, how to go beyond the evidence and the assumptions, the value of ourselves with the culture around us, right? How do we, so I want to give you guys a context, if you're interested in the vibrant living challenge, if you want to make a film and you want to kind of share this inside journey with other people and you want to move your body and breathe differently, you want to be a vibrant speaker, inspirational speaker.
And you want to be part of one of the kinds of library network, you can call me directly at 413- capac, 457-47, 413-345-3747. And go to Lisa, at least he didn't say anything in our last round, so I'm going to pass you the burning stick here. No, I'm just listening to the wisdom from all of your perspectives. And you know, and I really think, you know, when you speak Glenn about, you know, going beyond dating to relating, I really think that it's just a commentary, even on social interactions in today's society.
People have forgotten how to relate to each other. It's really touched on and to see one another, I think, you know, and that's part of why I enjoy being part of this network and, you know, always looking for the vibrancy, always looking towards seeing things in a new light, not just really going beyond appearances. And I think that's what, you know, you do, you bring in an aerial brain, he looks at things from a completely unique perspective of those names. And it's really, it's a gift to be able to think that way and to actually be an expert participant in your own life and to connect with other people.
And that's what we're really here for, you know, is that connection and to really relate and to develop equality of listening. You know, so often people are not in that space where they can quiet themselves and really honor what the other person is speaking from their heart. And they're already thinking of what they're saying and they're missing the distinction. So we are also a little grateful during this.
Thank you, Lisa. Thank you, Nate. Arielle. Listen to the private living network.
And if you move to the inspirational speaker, you move to own the stage and really connect with people. Be part of it. You're called, give us a call. 413-345-3747.
