And I can tell you that each one of us is walking a very thin razor's edge between sanity and insanity at all times. Serotonin regulates a lot of how we perceive reality. I had a surge of serotonin in this lightning bolt like no other. It was basically this surge of energy that went from the base of my spine out the top of my skull. And suddenly everything in the world looked different. Everything.

I started viewing signs differently. I started viewing art differently, conversations I was having with people differently. And I realized everything around us is a projection of our perception minds. We, when we're born, when we are born, we come online with like going back to parts work and things like that. But when we're born, we come online with about four distinct things.

But when we're born, we come online with about four distinct things.

systems that come online. And then through stimulus of interacting in the world, we develop a personality. And we think this personality is fixed. We think it can't be changed. But it turns out it absolutely can be changed. Many parts of it can. How I had the spiritual awakening was the realization that all the trauma in my past was a construct of my imagination.

That basically, yeah, it happened. But it happened like a dream happened, like a nightmare. A nightmare you wake up from and it's gone and you're relieved. You're like, oh, that was just a dream.

Well, it turns out trauma is also just a dream because if you can overcome it and you can get past it and you can move forward, you have to realize that that thing, when you spin it up in your mind, creates all kinds of hormones that get released that shape your reality and how you see the world. We forget that we're an animal that has hormones and a mind.

And then there's this really special thing called consciousness, right? And so I believe that consciousness is kind of like an operating system and it brings these parts of us online that benefited us at one point that no longer benefit us because they have jobs. I think of them as kind of like processes that come online to assist you.

I think of them as kind of like processes that come online to assist you.

They're like cron jobs and they're like, I'm here to assist you. And we don't know to put them away and tell them that they don't have that job anymore. They don't need to do that anymore. So once I let go of this huge amount of trauma and I realized that it just didn't matter that these things happened to me in the past, what matters is literally right now.

And you hear people say this and you wonder, what does it mean when they say this? And I always wondered it. I was like, what does it mean? When you have the true realization, it's almost like it's written in your DNA, right? what that really, really means, then you start to let go of so much. And when you let go, all of a sudden you realize, oh, life isn't so hard. It's actually quite easy.

And I just have to trust myself and I have to trust my intuition and I have to just be. And once you learn how just to be, life gets a lot more simple. All of a sudden, everything you ever wished for in your life just starts coming true. It becomes effortless. It's really weird. It's really super weird. And the only thing that changed in my life was having faith in something higher than myself.

That was it. This is why when you ask me what sort of insight or brilliance or whatever led to whatever, it's too easy for our ego mind to take credit for everything. Something gave me that feeling that said, you ought to go deeper into this. You ought to do this. You've got to take this risk. You've got to jump right now.
