And my good friend Antonio and my brother were in the hospital, and I was like, I'm going to work on kids and food. Because they were like, he's crazy. He lost his mind. Not that they weren't already. No one was arguing with me.

But I was like, I'm just going to do that. I need to say it out loud. And I remember resigning from my job as the CEO from the hospital. And that was it. It was just clear. It was a clear voice. It wasn't for a moment. It wasn't like a flash of light or anything. It was probably two weeks of clear voice. Of clarity. Clarity. Exactly. Clarity. No monkey brain. Nothing. No monkey brain.

Well, I've done ayahuasca, and I've spoken to what they call Mother Aya, which is another version of God. It's a divine presence. Maybe I think it's a better way to say it. I've also had this debate in my head. Maybe it's just me. I'm talking to me. And it's my peaceful, more kinder, less caught up in the emotion of the day version of me. Maybe it's me.

I think there's one, you know, so one of the things I do is meditate. And this was, I've been meditating for many, many years. And the way I meditate is I sit and I listen to my thoughts.
