I've tried to say, oh my God, if I'm on a spiritual platform, I can't make any mistakes. I used to not leave my house for fear that I would make a mistake and ruin my reputation. It was that bad. That was why I said in the last podcast, I didn't even date a woman.

From the age of 20 to 29 until the day I got married because I was so afraid... Of making a mistake or... Hurting somebody, having a bad reputation, somebody calling me an asshole, somebody calling me a creep, somebody calling me whatever. And then I realized I was actually avoiding very much what my probably spiritual work was at the time, which was, you know, need for approval, let's say.

I feel like I would be... If I had to get on a stage and say something and feel that when I got off of it I did the exact opposite intentionally, it I would die inside. Like, I would feel like I could not. And I think most people cannot do that. Like, you cannot get on and talk when you know you're doing something else. Yeah, it's not authentic.

I think in some of my most recent walks and meditations and prayer, and I ask like, what is my soul meant to do? And I see, I see like a future. I see a vision of something I know I would love to do and a desire to do and believe I'm meant to do. Let's say, for example, it's an audience. Cause again, I only started this like half a year ago, eight months ago. I, if I want to reach people,

if I want to be of service to, let's say, 100 million people, that they learn this wisdom of the Creator. Not my wisdom, like, totally be clear about that. This is not my wisdom. This is not my content. This is all stuff I've learned from my teachers, I've learned it from their teachers, thousands of years, and I love that we can have access to it.

And I would love to be part of that process of bringing it to the world. But how would I ask my question? How would I sabotage that? Because if I'm a vessel for that, the question's going to be, what do I need to do to expand the vessel to fit that energy through to 100 million people? I don't know.

If my audience is a couple million now, I would have to become a completely different person to service 100 million people or a billion people and not fall. There's a lot of times we can get to those numbers and then there's a crash that happens. I'm always asking myself, what do I need to do to the best of my ability to expand my vessel to service those souls if I feel that's my purpose?

One of the things that's come up, and I'll just be vulnerable about it, is that I think the most dangerous thing we all face, and I have it real big, is the need for validation. We all love being validated. We love when people message us and say, You're amazing. You're awesome. Every time somebody says, that was the best podcast with you and Lewis, I'm like sending it to you right away.

Did you see that? And the truth is, it's great to receive thank yous and compliments and validation. But I ask myself, what's going to happen when... You give a seminar for 1,000 people. I came to your seminar. You have 4,000 or 5,000 people there. And I asked myself, if I was on the stage, I would be like, wow, look at me.

And the fact that that would affect me and change me means I'm not ready for it.
