And it makes them feel much more precious about how quick time moves and how important every little moment is because you see the fragility of it too.
I don't think I've ever seen this before. Cause I was woke up from a dream and it was like trying to remember it. You know, you're like, God, it's so, so real. If you don't write it down right away, right. It kind of fades away, but you, while you're dreaming it, it's really real. And it's like,
almost see the walls but i went to go tell somebody it's like shit i forgot most of it but i wonder if that's what it's like when you wake up in your consciousness after you die you wake up in your next consciousness getting ready to move into whatever your next body is and you're like wow i was a filmmaker had five kids and oh well i'm gonna be a fish now it's like it's like a dream it's like that gone that way and it's like that's what past lives are they're like
distant memories like a dream that's faded away that's why you barely feel remnants of it do i feel sad about the when i tell people they flip out when i tell them that yeah like i said i want a character to be like that like he's dying he's like i don't want to forget this dream i don't want to forget don't let me wake up don't let me wake up but you forget especially the moment you try to tell somebody yeah you tell the next fish yeah the next is gonna be a fish next but uh uh yeah yeah like it feels like
I'm a little sad about it, but then it just makes you even more double down to be precious about the life you're in now. What do you think is the meaning? And record it, record it.
I mean, I really feel like my kids and I were just talking about this last night. We were just blown away. We did this Asterian astrology thing, which is the oldest form of astrology. It just nails each person. And it's like, yeah, because when you have a kid, you realize right away, this isn't my kid. This is not my, I'm just in charge of him. It's a completely different soul.
He's a different soul that ended up in my hands. It's not, there's physical characteristics that get passed on because of just how biology works. Even sometimes posture and movement is the same, but the actual person is somebody else. And all the kids, I have five kids and I have nine brothers and sisters. They're all different.
You realize we made a pact in a past life to gather together because every time it's like so good you were born in this family because you were given free reign to go find who you're really supposed to be. You find out everyone is doing what they were supposed to be doing. It's cool. Almost like this clarity you get by just saying it.
they now know that they were always supposed to be like this creative person. And now they can double down on it because they know that's who they were supposed to be. They don't have to have any doubt anymore. They don't have to wonder, well, am I supposed to be more business-minded or can I be creative? Isn't that some kind of frivolous? Is that a real job? Can I do that?
Now they realize, no, you're supposed to be doing that for these, these, these, these reasons. And now they can double down. You can skip all that and just decide, I feel like I want to be that person. So I'm just going to declare I am that person. And as soon as you say it, you are that. And tomorrow your activities will conform to that. That's how powerful that decision is.
So when you walk out of here, it's going to be with a complete commitment. I'm a technical and creative person like my first boss. I'm unstoppable. Because my boss told me that and he was right. I became technical and creative and you're just unstoppable. You can just keep going and just go, I'm unstoppable. That's me.
You're going to use your powers for bad, but you've just changed your life by just declaring that. And I'm also a creative person who lives his life creatively. I'm going to find creative ways to use that technology. If somebody says, you're not the same kind of artist I was expecting, that's their own opinion. Don't blink. Just keep going.
All these things that you've learned that people were supposed to tell you along the way, they're telling you for a reason. Anytime you got pushed, like if you go back to your life at your really critical moments in your life where you went that way instead of that way, there was probably somebody there who said something to you that kind of pushed you
There was one guy when I was in high school, it was like senior year. I wrote a paper and I wasn't a great writer at all. I wrote a paper for a Latin American studies class, gave it to the teacher. And he said, wow, you're going to be rich and famous in four years. It's based on what I read. He goes like, really? I'm like 17 or 18.
Four years later, I did mariachi and I went to him later at a reunion and I said, you called it. You said I was going to be, why did you say that? And he's like, I said that? It looked like he would never say that to somebody. You'd think he would own it and say, oh yeah, I knew and I told you. No, he was like... He looked like he didn't even know who that was.
He was like asking, acting like he never would have said that in a million years. So again, sometimes things come out of our mouth that's not us, that comes through us. So if you think of it that way, why are we here? We're here for a reason. We're going to get nudged along. Listen to the signs. Own who you're supposed to be because you are that person. Don't let your human doubt get in the way.
That's like the guy closing the pipe. I don't know if I'm really creative. I don't know if I'm really a businessman. And you're just closing the pipe. You're not going to let it flow. Just be a good pipe. Just say, I just want to be a good pipe. Clean, open. And then that's when the magic happens. And no matter what, don't blink. Don't blink.
Don't matter how many, that dude was getting so much shit thrown at him. I wish you knew that time period because then you would go like, yeah, that's right. It's incredible. It was unbelievable. I can't even convey. There was no internet and stuff back then. This was like literal press reviews everywhere. Public. It was like, why are they targeting this guy?
You know, they just did not like, he just had unprecedented success and was a really great guy and was making amazing shit. So it was the triple threat of make people jealous.
I appreciate that. It's a huge honor to talk to you, brother. So great talking with you. Great questions. You're going to change your life. Thank you, brother. A million dollars. Yeah, right there.
