It'll try to make us yield to perfectionism where we noodle over one sentence, you know, for three days, you know.

Or fear, all of the other things will stop us.

So many people live their entire lives and never enact their real calling, you know.

But we were talking about the more important to the growth of your soul.

That was what we started with this, right?

So that calling, whatever it is, to be a writer, a filmmaker, whatever it is, if we don't do that in our life, that energy doesn't go away.

it becomes, it goes into a more malignant channel, right?

And it shows itself in maybe an addiction, alcoholism, cruelty to others, abuse of others, abuse of ourselves, porn, you name it, any of the sort of vices that people have, because that

original, creative, divine energy that really wants to be the odyssey or something like that, if we yield to our own resistance and don't evolve that, then bad things happen.

On the other hand, if we do follow that, we kind of open ourselves up to becoming who we really are.

And

You know, a lot of people in the podcasting and the human development or whatever they call it, personal development world, they sort of promise like some sort of nirvana is going to happen if you do X, Y, Z. But what I'm promising is a fuck of a lot of hard work that's probably never going to be rewarded.

But you'll be on the track that, you know, your soul was meant to be on.

And God bless you.

You can't ask for any more than that.

I mean, there's validity to that, obviously.

But

I think what happens is that each person is dealing with their own resistance, their own calling that they know that they really should be doing.

And 99.999% of them are not doing it or are unconscious of it.

It's sort of a niggling thing, but they don't know about it.
