My mom suggested I go to an energy healer. I had been very against all of this prior to that. I go, the second I stepped in her office, the pain left and I was just like, okay, whatever. Suddenly she's like, can you feel things around you? I'm like, yes, I feel things all the time now. I hate it. I hate all of this. The healing that came with what I thought was the worst moment and looking back now is like when my life really began. But I needed it because I was so suppressing everything that I think life was really asking me to focus on.
A
All right, guys, Rita Merchandani here. Today we're going to talk the Akashic records and how you can utilize it in your daily life. Thanks for coming on today.
B
Oh, thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here. And yeah, next on the Akashic and seeing how it can help each of us in our daily lives.
A
Absolutely. How did you get into this journey? Was it at a young age?
B
No. So actually, for most of my life, I have been. I was a very logical person. I grew up in a household where education, you know, learning to be logical was very valued. And while my mom was spiritual, it wasn't something I was ever personally interested in. I was. Every time she would be like, do you want to learn about this? I'd be like, no. I was actually a chess player for a lot of my life.
A
Oh, yeah, I'm a chess player.
B
You are?
A
What's your hila?
B
Oh, my gosh. Like 1900.
A
Holy crap.
B
What's yours?
A
1450. But you're really, I mean, you would.
B
Dominate chess board here.
A
Next time I'll have to practice to play you.
B
Yeah. So I haven't Played in a while, but I taught chess, like, so that's how my mind worked. Very logical. Wanted things to be in order. Went to college, no spiritual interest. When I was about 25, I had what we would call as a spiritual awakening, which basically means that to me, one day I was very logical. The next day I had zero. I was having all these experiences that I couldn't explain. Suddenly, I started to see energy. I started to see the world very differently. Um, and that's where my spiritual journey began. This spiritual journey eventually led me to finding the Akashic, many years later, about five years after the spiritual awakening.
A
Wow. So what do you think prompted that experience at age 25?
B
So there was an exact moment. So at 25, I was going through. It's kind of a weird story, but I was going through a breakup. We were, like, in the discussion of breaking up, and it was kind of happening over a few days where we were like, are we going to stay together? Are we not? And it was causing me such deep pain, like, the deepest pain I probably ever felt other than when someone had died. And during that process, one night we were like, all right, just come sleep over, and we'll talk about this more tomorrow. So the next day, or actually that night, I'm sleeping at his house, and I wake up, and in the corner of the room, I can only describe what I feel is, like, an energy that scares the crap out of me. And it basically. I don't know if this was intuitively. I don't know how it happened. I got this feeling of like, you need to leave this room right now. You need to go home, and this is not the life you're meant to be living.
A
Wow.
B
So I woke him up and I said, hey, something really weird just happened. This is verbatim, because we've talked about it. What happened? I said there was something like a monster in the corner. He obviously thinks I'm like, I don't know. But I've never said anything like this to him before. I said, I'm going to go home. We'll meet tomorrow and we'll talk. The relationship naturally disintegrated. But after that night, I kept having experiences with energy. And that was the first moment. And that led to about a year and a half of extreme pain. Wow. Where I was just constantly in emotional pain over the breakup. I had had parts of my life that really weren't in order, that had to kind of come in order. And that's where, synchronistically, one day I got this pain in My left knee. And this pain wouldn't go away. My mom suggested I go to an energy healer. I had been very against all of this prior to that.
A
Yeah.
B
So I was like, all right, I'll try it. So I go. The second I stepped in her. The, her office, the pain left.
A
Wow.
B
And I was just like, okay, whatever, you know. So I lay on her table and because I'm in such pain, I just am crying, just crying, crying, crying. But suddenly she's like, can you, can you feel things around you? I'm like, yes, I feel things all the time now. I hate it. I hate all of this. And she became my first teacher. And that's when I started to learn the healing that came with what I thought was the worst moment. And looking back now is like when my life really began.
A
Wow.
B
So it was a pretty dramatic shake up, but I needed it because I was so suppressing everything that I think life was really asking me to focus on. And I wasn't happy. Looking back, if I had to rate my Life on a 1 to 10, probably 4. But I thought I was very happy.
A
Interesting. So when you were feeling physical pain around your body, was that other people's pain you were feeling?
B
I'm sure it was. I think. Now look.

B
It was. But I think I had suppressed who I was so deeply, a lot of.
A
It was just coming out.
B
Yeah. It was like, accept me, accept me, see me, feel me, become me. And I just had never allowed myself to do that.
A
Interesting. So did that first mentor read your Akashic records for you?
B
No. So what ended up happening is that first mentor would just be like, all right, think of a word. And I would think of a word and then she would be like. She would write the word down and then I would say the word and it would be the same word. And I'd be like, oh, this is real. Like, this is. Something's happening. I don't know what's happening.
A
But she could read your mind.
B
I wouldn't say that. I'd say, there's patterns in a field that we can all connect to. And when people are open, you could potentially tap into the same pattern.
A
Wow.
B
So you know you can just feel things. Right. Like it sounds out there. But you and I could look at a person and be like, that person looks sad. You know, you can just kind of feel things off people, even if they don't look it, or that person looks like they know something. It's the same way, but you start to go a little deeper. Or if we go deep enough, there's not much we can't, if it's for our highest good, tap into.
A
Wow.
B
So she started to teach me through this, like, showing me that I already had this. We all have this, but that I was kind of wanting to open to it. And then during that time, I was working at a corporate job. I was doing, actually weddings, so totally different job. I would do my wedding job, and then I would go do all this energy stuff, because I didn't know what it meant. I just knew that it was making me feel better. I started to feel like. Started to actually have, like, life in my face again. I started to kind of look more like myself. So I was like, okay, this is good. And then I started to have this random calling to go to Asia, and this calling would not go away again. I tried to suppress it, but at this point, things started to happen so rapidly in my life that, like, if I suppress something, I would dream about it. If I would suppress something, someone else would be like, oh, you should go do that. So I couldn't look away from what I felt like was being asked of me.
A
Yeah.
B
So that prompted me to quit my job, sell everything I owned. And the crazy part of this story is that, okay, it sounds great to do all that. I had no money. I had $2,000 to my name when I did that. So that was crazy. I had just graduated with my master's degree, and I just felt that it was what needed to happen in my life. So I did it.
A
Crazy, because the flight alone was probably a thousand.
B
I had points.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
So that's how I was like, I've managed it in my mind. I was like, all right, if I have enough points to get me to Asia, I will go, right? And I did.
A
Was there a specific part of Asia that called to you?
B
I. So this is where the spiritual part starts to come in more. I basically said, all right, universe, if you're asking this of me, I'm going to trust you. And wherever I have enough points to, I'll go. So I had two places that I could go. One was Seoul, South Korea, and one was to Beijing. Beijing required a visa. So I was like, all right, that's out. So I started in Seoul.
A
Wow.
B
And I went. And what ended up happening was, like, literally About a month before I left for the trip, no one knew. My parents didn't know I had that little money. No one knew this because of course everyone would be like, just wait a few more months and then go. But I was like, no, like, I'm going. And like, if this is what I need to do, I'm going to go. So about a month before I left for the trip, I got in a bad car accident. And long story short, that ended up giving me some money for my trip. I didn't ask for it, but the insurance company was like, oh, since you're not keeping your car, here's the money. So then I ended up having money to fund a lot of my trip.
A
Wow. So everything happens for a reason, right?
B
I like to believe that. Looking back, I can see how crazy it was at the time for me to do that, when I could have been more logically minded about a lot of it. Yeah. But the calling was too loud to ignore it.
A
That's so interesting, because a lot of people plan their vacation so logically they're like, oh, let me save up money, and then we could book this a year from now. You know what I mean?
B
Yeah. And I think if you are on a budget and stuff and you have a family, it makes sense why we have to, like, plan things out. Right. But if you are young and you are able to have the ability to travel on your own, I think you should listen to that nudge.
A
So were you getting a lot of downloads in Asia? Was there specific things happening to you out there?
B
Yeah, so before I left, I. I'm really big on, like, in the spiritual process experiences and also, like, trying things out for yourself. Like, it's great to hear. Oh, yeah, this is how the universe works. But no, like, become one with the universe and find out for yourself how it works. So I set out on my trip with the intention that I would only listen to the nut. This episode is brought to you by Allstate. Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate First. Like, you know, to check the date of the big game first before you accidentally buy tickets on your 20th wedding anniversary and have to spend the next 20 years of your marriage making up for it. Yeah, checking first is smart. So check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate Savings. Vary terms apply.

As I traveled, so what this looked like is when I got to Seoul, I didn't know where I would go next. I'm like, I will stay here until I get the nudge or the calling to go somewhere else. And what started to happen was just miracle upon miracle started to happen because you, like, I know a lot of people in poker talk about this or in sports, you get into a flow state. I feel like I was in a flow state with the universe. We're literally, for six months, I would wait till I got that nudge of like, okay, you're in the right spot. You're not in the right spot. Like, you know, you kind of look, we can call them signs, but when you're in that process, things start to kind of become magic.
A
Right? So you were there for six months.
B
Have you had an experience like that? You know, where you get in that state where you're like, all right, things are kind of aligning.
A
I feel it definitely in the workplace. And I used to be a distance runner, so on certain runs, like, I would just feel like, so in touch with everything.
B
Yes.
A
They call it runner's high.
B
Yes, it was kind of like that, but more so just like a lot. Like it felt like you're in a river and you're just kind of being carried.
A
Right. So after Asia, where. Where was the next place?
B
So I ended up after Asia. I kind of just got this knowing of like, all right, you're done searching now. Now you can come back. And like, I don't believe everyone on your spiritual path needs to leave the country or do it. Like, of course what we need is within here. But I didn't know that back then. I came back to the US and that's when I got connected to the Akashic records. So my experience with the Akashic is I was like, all right, I'm just going to book a reading. I don't know why. Let's see what happens. I booked a reading. It was mind blowing, the experience. And in the reading, the woman told me, oh, yeah, you're meant to be doing that. Like, are you not reading the records? And I was like, I don't even know what those are. Um, I don't even know. And she's like, we'll just go try it. And like, just see what happens. So that very day, I, after the call, I was like, all right, I'm going to try it. And I had an experience. So I was like, okay, cool. I had one for myself, like, and then I just went online and I posted something on Instagram and I was like, anyone want to try this?
A
Yeah.
B
Anyone want to try this with me?
A
You might test on me.
B
Yeah. Do you want to just try this? And this girl who I don't even remember how we connected, she's like, yeah, I'll do it. So we did it. And she's like, I think you're onto something. I think you should keep doing this. So I just kept offering free readings. I'd be like, I'm not claiming anything, just like, let's try it.
A
Yeah.
B
And then slowly it started to build where it was like, oh, this has become a full time thing where you're now offering readings and like people are resonating with it.
A
Wow. And for people watching this that don't know what the Akashic records is, could you explain that?
B
Yes. So if you were to Google it, it's known as the Google of energy. And basically what that means is that imagine there's a field of energy that contain the past, present and future of existence. To break that down into human words. It's where our soul essence lives. And it's, to me, it's where we can connect to our soul. You don't need someone else to read it for you. You on your own can just say, I would like to intentionally and loving connect to my own Akashic record and just notice what happens. Do it in a quiet place.
A
Wow.
B
I believe it's something we can all do. It's available to us now. Whether we want to is a different story. And whether it feels like we need to is a different story. But in my experience, it changed my whole life. And so now I teach people, but again, you don't necessarily. I learned on my own. You don't need a teacher. It just might speed up the process of how fast you learn how to quickly tap into things and how quickly you. Yeah. Basically learn how to navigate it.
A
Right. So you could find your soul's purpose by doing this.
B
Yeah. And you can find a lot more. So I think a lot of times people go to a reading, like, that's the number one Question I'm asked, what's my soul's purpose? Yeah, so I see things a little differently than. Maybe it's not black and white. Like, a lot of people will be like, so, what's my purpose in this lifetime? And they want to hear something like, oh, you're meant to be a healer. You're meant to be an entrepreneur. You're meant to be a billionaire. We have so many different purposes. I'm like, well, which area of purpose are you speaking to? And, like, also different parts of our life. Like, when you were in high school, right? Maybe your purpose was to be. Was that. Were you a runner in high school or later?
A
Yeah, high school.
B
That might have been that purpose at that time in your life. Now, where you're at right now, this could be your purpose, right? You're spreading information through this podcast. You know, you're. You're reaching so many people, helping people through this. It's. It's not always so simple as, like, just one word. But what I find the akashic to be really, like, monumentally helpful with is patterns. And what I mean with patterns is everyone has patterns. Every human, every person. And when we are in patterns, we're not present. So that's, like, the number one word in spirituality, right? Like, be here now, find presence. Come back to the now. There are some people who are living around 60% of their lives out of presence. Even higher. They've mapped this, like, in the brain. We know that our subconscious dictates. I don't know the exact percentage. I think it's up to 80 to 90% of our daily lives. So we can make assumptions that a lot of us are not living in the present moment. But when we look around, you know, why do we want to go? Like, what's the point of being present? We're all being driven by our past. So, like, you know, in dating, oh, well, I'm scared this person's gonna hurt me, because even though that person's done nothing to you, I'm scared of this because of my past, you know, in business. Well, I'm just scared to make that big jump, because what if this happens again? We're living in the past, right? And to me, the power of the akashic is that you can go to the past and unhook yourself so you no longer have that power or that pattern dictating your now.
A
Interesting. Yeah, I used to live in the past, for sure, in high school.
B
I think most of us do. It's a comfortable place, and we don't often Even recognize we're in it.
A
Wow, that's so fascinating because you get these belief systems from the past, right?
B
Yes. And some are ancestral, so they're not even. Some of these are not even ours. That's the crazy part, too. Like, a lot of this is not even ours. We could say it's past life. If you don't believe in past life, we'll say it's ancestral. The truth is, it doesn't matter where it came from. It matters that somewhere there's a pattern that's influencing your life now. And, like, I had one client just as an example of how it could work. She was deathly afraid at night. Very successful, like, amazing woman. But at nighttime, she would always be afraid. And she's like, I don't know why I have this fear. Nothing consciously has ever happened to me to, like, influence this fear. And we. We went into her akashic. She found. I didn't find it. So I. I like to guide people to the root so they can see it for themselves. Cause I find that's even more impactful if you yourself see it, than me telling you she found her root. She was de. Plugged from it, and then a few months later, I receive an email where she's like, oh, I just wanted to tell you that I didn't even notice. I'm not afraid of the dark anymore. It happened so gently that, like, it wasn't until my parents were here that they noticed I'm no longer afraid.
A
Wow.
B
I forgot about it. Like, I forgot that that even existed.
A
Crazy.
B
Yeah. So that's just a small example, but we all have things in our life that are, you know, pulling us in different ways that we're not fully free from.
A
I used to sleep with the light on as a kid.
B
Yeah.
A
I found out later that my house was haunted.
B
Oh.
A
Yeah. So I was shutting off my powers. And I know you experienced a similar thing too, right?
B
Yeah.
A
Where you shut off your powers.
B
Yes. Yeah. You can suppress it.
A
Yeah. What happened with you?
B
I can't trace back to where it all began. I just know it felt like it wasn't safe to be open. So.
A
Yeah. I think a lot of children go through that without even knowing.
B
I agree. I agree. And that's cool that you actually know where it began, because now you can go back to, you know, your little self and let him know again. Going back to the past and de. Plugging and let him know, hey, I see that you were onto something. Let me just let you know you were onto something because you picked up that this was haunted. And I know adults may not know that or may not believe in that, but you. You can recognize this. And it's okay that you were afraid.
A
Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing, right? Telling your parents, like, there's a ghost in my room. They're going to be like, you're crazy.
B
Yes. Well, actually, now that you mentioned that, I did have a moment as a kid where I remember. I don't remember the exact situation, but I remember saying something that triggered a fear in adults. Oh, I remember now. It. There was a situation where. Long story short, My. I felt like something bad had happened at our neighbor's house, and my parents were kind of just like, no, it's fine. You know, it's fine. Nothing happened there. And I ended up getting dropped off at school. My mom kind of like, for whatever reason, it lingered in her mind. Like, that's kind of weird that she said that. Let me just go check. And when she went over there, she saw that there was blood in the pool.
A
Whoa.
B
And she went and grabbed a ladder, and their dog had fallen in the pool.
A
What?
B
And it was, like, completely covered in blood, struggling to get out. She. She got it out and it lived.
A
Wow.
B
So I don't know if it would have. Hopefully it wouldn't have died, but it was definitely struggling at that point.
A
Wow. And you sense that from houses down.
B
The street and to this day. I don't know. Right. I just. I don't know why little me said that at that moment, but she did. And I remember, though, that, like, at least my recollection, whether this is made up or not, when I think of that moment, was that adults didn't like that. Nobody likes that someone can pick up on something like that. It makes them uncomfortable. So I picked up like, oh, but they like. When I'm logical, when I'm playing chess, that's when, you know, people are like, oh, good job.
A
You know, that's interesting. You said earlier your mother was spiritual, though, right?
B
Yes, she was very supportive. And my dad was always. He's been supportive in so many ways. His thing was never spirituality. So I think it was just more. You know, I don't even know if it was my parents. I think it was more the world.
A
That's interesting that you got both perspectives.
B
Yeah. And I. I like a lot of the spirituality I hope to teach and kind of bring forward is logical and mystical.
A
Right.
B
I think that's where everything's supposed to meet.
A
It should be. Yeah. Some people go too far down.
B
Yes.
A
One. One or the other, right? Yes, but I think you need both.
B
I think you do, too. We're in a human body. Like, the human body matters. We need to keep that perspective.
A
Yeah. Do you ever deal with sleep paralysis or nightmares?
B
I luckily have only had a few experiences. Have you had that?
A
Every time I travel, I have nightmares.
B
Really?
A
And I asked my spiritual advisor why, and she said, I'm picking up on the energy from the previous people sleeping at the hotel.
B
Oh, do you clear the room?
A
No, she said, I need to start doing that.
B
I can recommend you a spray. So I bring it everywhere. It's a sage spray. It's charged in the Sedona vortex.
A
Wow.
B
It is by far. Like, I love this spray. I'll show it to you after.
A
No, I need that for my studio too, because I have hundreds of different energies coming in, so.
B
Oh. The other thing is rose oil. Highest vibration on the planet really comes from roses. So rose oil, like, put it anywhere, just a dab. It's very expensive. Pure rose oil. That will knock anything out.
A
Great to know.
B
That will knock anything out. Also, what I like to do is I carry palo santo, essential oils. Just take a cup of water, dab it in there. That'll clear the room.
A
I love that.
B
So it's just small things, but also, if you are like, oh, crap, I forgot everything, just picture the room being cleared out. You can. Visualization will do a lot.
A
It can literally, like, manifest the ghost out of there.
B
You might have to say, like, get the hell out. But, yeah, you can do that. Like, for example, if I ever sense anything and I don't want it there. No. Just no.
A
Do you struggle in crowded places, like, sensing energies?
B
No, I actually don't. I used to a ton. So, like, I would consider myself hyper empath, but the more I've embraced my, like, human self, the more I found it easier to be in those places. I just choose to no longer believe it can impact me.
A
I love that. Yeah, because like we said earlier, when you go down too far the path, you can't even go in public. Like.
B
Well, they say that. And, like, that's like, a lot of. A lot of people I work with are like, well, I'm an empath, so I can't do this. I'm. I'm like, I can't do this. And I'm like, no, no, no, no. We're calling our power back. And, like, you are taking control of that room, you know? And I think, yeah, like, that's. Nothing can take it from you unless.
A
We let it powerful you. Recently got called to Ireland two weeks ago. And you said it's actually a very spiritual place there.
B
Yes. So I'm half Irish. I know you're half Irish. So. So growing up, I spent every summer there and I wasn't really connected to the. Yes. Spiritual side of Ireland, but it's a. I find a lot of Irish people, even those who weren't born there, because there was such a huge shift of the population, especially to the US A lot of us are being called back there because it's time to connect back to our roots. But the land there is. It's something else. Um, there's really no words for how connected they are. Like, they still actually. This is going to sound strange, but they. Fairies are a known thing there. So not F A I R Y F A E R I E, fairy. And while the Western mindset is going to be like, oh, that's kind of ridiculous, like, why people still believe in it. Okay. Exactly. They're like. They literally said on the tour, they were like, no, not like Tinkerbell. They're like, these fairies we have look like people. And there's ancient legends in Ireland that go back in time. So there's something in Ireland called the hawthorn tree. Very, very sacred tree. In Ireland. You will not find one person who will knock it down because that's where the fairies live. And there's actually one spot, a famous story. I don't know. I think this happened a few years back. There was a hawthorn tree that all the local farmers refused to knock down because, again, it's very sacred. So they hired some other workers. I don't think they were from Ireland, who was like, okay, I'll knock down the hawthorne tree. They knock it down. And someone. I think they've had about five deaths in the spot where the tree was knocked down.
A
Whoa.
B
It's like on. By a main road.
A
Holy crap.
B
So in Ireland, legends hold merit, and I think it's easy to assume in the west, we know better, but when you go to places like that, you're like, interesting.
A
Yeah.
B
There's some interesting things going on in the world.
A
It's funny because you think of Ireland, you think it just drunk people, but there's some spiritual meaning there.
B
Oh, there's so much. And I think we also have to look at why that stigma is there in Ireland and the pain that has been cause to Ireland, which you learn when you go there. Really, like Ireland, Irish people are incredibly strong, but they've had a lot of pain.
A
The famines and the living off potatoes Right, Yeah.
B
Well, that's a whole interesting topic. So a lot of people would say there was no famine. It's. It's a very triggering topic for a lot of Irish people. Because, for example, what is Ireland surrounded by?
A
Is it water?
B
How can you starve if there's fish everywhere?
A
That's a good point.
B
Yeah. There was no famine there. It was regulations that were imposed.
A
Oh, so they just blocked off trades.
B
Yeah, they were with the British. So, yeah, that's a thing that's coming to light. Like, even growing up Irish, it wasn't really known to me. The more research I've done, I'm like, oh, okay.
A
Wow. And a lot of. A lot of history I'm finding out now is kind of either made up or exaggerated that we were taught growing up.
B
Yeah. And I don't. It's like, we can only do better when we know better, you know? So now I'm like, all right. I think it's part of my duty to share that wisdom now that I'm like, oh, there was no famine. You know, even though that's what we were taught in school.
A
And you gotta be super open these days. Cause some people get triggered when you kind of challenge these previously taught topics.
B
Yeah. And I mean, it's also hard, too, when you're, like, still Googling things and you're getting conflicting information because you're like, am I doing more harm than good?
A
Right.
B
But again, it's an island. How can people starve on an island?
A
Yeah. It's such a basic thought that no one really thought of it. Right.
B
Like, you know, because I'm like, okay, I could see that in a huge country. But, like, from one coast of Ireland to the other is less. You can do that in three to four hours in a car.
A
Wow.
B
So it's very small.
A
Interesting.
B
The bottom to the top. That would probably be like 6, 7. But still, it's such a small country. There was no famine. Wow.
A
So fairies and leprechauns out there.
B
Yeah. And I mean, you know, that's a whole different discussion. But I think whether they're real or not. How. How do we know love's real? You feel it. You have an experience with it. And there is a collective experience with those beings in Ireland.
A
Yeah. I do believe at some point there were mystical beings. I've seen Matthias talk about giants.
B
Yeah. And I mean, to be honest with the way we treat each other humans, why would anything that's of a higher vibration ever reveal itself?
A
Yeah. They probably see us as like a nuisance. Right.
B
I mean, I think maybe this is glamorizing, but I think they're, like, very loving, a lot of these creatures or beings, and, like, they're not going to lower themselves to the amount of hate that we kind of all hold and even the amount of judgment.
A
Well, I've seen some things where it says earth is at a low vibration right now or something. Right.
B
Yeah. Well, and I think that, you know, again, this goes back to so many of us are living in the past. Like, I hear this all the time. You can tell me if you hear this too.
A
Like.
B
Like, we're going back in time. Like, nothing's getting better. Like, things are going backwards. Um, yeah. Because we're all living unconsciously, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
It's a lot of self. Yeah. Just what is for my highest good, not looking at, like, how do we evolve as a collective?
A
Right. We got to go back to communities. That's when I feel the best. And now they're doing longevity studies on health, and they're saying community is the number one factor.
B
Yes. For increasing lifespan, interestingly enough. I agree. And I totally agree with that Right now. Most of our interactions. Right. Are via. Like, I love that this is in person.
A
Yeah.
B
Because most of our interactions are on the screen. And with AI, we're looking at, you know, a huge shift from connection, community in person to. We're soon gonna have it. You know, I just tried on these goggles.
A
You know, go to Oculus.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Your whole world is here. But we're losing the connection to each other in that process. And it's. So there has to be a balance act. But, you know, we don't need to be able to predict the future or be psychic to know we're headed in a dangerous direction. Because I just read an article that said the average American IQ dropped three points.
A
Right.
B
Yeah.
A
Which is a lot.
B
Yes. And we don't even have that much AI yet. Like, what's going to happen when your paper is being written just as you're looking at it? And, like, you. You know, you forget to connect to the Earth. You. We've lost the heart of, like, what it means to be human.
A
Well, they're not teaching critical thinking anymore.
B
Yeah.
A
They're teaching memorization.
B
Well, that, too. And even then, you may not need even that. You can just put it into the computer.
A
Why would I need a calculator anymore?
B
Why do I need anything? I don't even know that many people who carry around a physical book. It's, like, on your Kindle now, Right. We've lost touch with just things that are actually, like, tangible.
A
Yeah. That connection's super important as humans. Right.
B
I think it is. And I mean, I think I heard someone say this. I think it was RFK said recently that nature is a mystical experience. And we're just detaching from. Yeah. The things that bring us back to our spiritual path. Like, if you really meditate, you will have an experience that's more profound than anything AI could ever show you. But so many of us are afraid of what we're going to find when we go inwards that it's easier to keep distracting.
A
Right.
B
So we get that little nudge of, like, oh, but no, but look at this new thing that I can do. But I don't know. Don't you believe that, like, you could create something even more magnificent?
A
Shiny object syndrome. Right. And attention spans are dropping, so it's getting harder to meditate for people.
B
Yeah. And I even saw, like, I did a meditation, actually, with the Oculus.
A
Really?
B
Yes. And it was interesting, but, like, my internal being was never at peace, and I thought that was interesting. Like, okay, I'm seeing everything. That looks like a real meditation. This feels like I'm hearing the birds. I'm feeling everything, but something within me is saying, no, come back. Come back here. And I think we're going to start. My prediction is that we're going to see a huge correction in one direction. And what we can each do, my belief is keep coming back and holding that while we see this correction.
A
Yeah. Yeah. I wonder how spirit feels about AI.
B
I think it is AI, but.
A
Oh, what?
B
Yeah.
A
You think spirit is AI?
B
Well, I think it's everything.
A
Okay.
B
So. But it waits for us to correct it. So, you know, it's kind of like a teenager just, you know, experimenting in some way. Your parent has to correct you. And I think there's not as many of us aware of, like, how to hold the, you know, the ground when we're having this huge change in society.
A
Right.
B
So my suggestion would be keep coming back within before you look to other things.
A
Yeah. It's a scary time right now. Do you ever talk to your future self and just ask them about what's going on right now and what the message is?
B
Yeah. What I always hear is Earth. Like, Earth cries every time. Like, I've had this. It's kind of a sad meditation. But one day I was meditating, and I just saw the whole world based. And this is not from the Akashic. I just want to be clear. I just saw the Whole world basically destroyed. Like, it was gone. And what my soul asked me was, if this was the. If this is what's going to happen, would you still do what you're doing? And my answer was yes. And that's how I knew on a soul level, I was doing the right thing, the right work that would fulfill me. Because no matter what happens, I feel like, yes, no matter what happens, I'll feel like I played a part that I'm proud of. And in that it was like, then keep coming back to the Earth. Keep spreading the message of the Earth. Like, you know, we're creating these toys, but look at our planet. We're making species extinct every single year. 23 went extinct last year.
A
Holy crap.
B
They. Somewhere I read something which mostly was like, bacteria or fungi, but like, up to 10,000 species can go extinct almost every year.
A
Geez.
B
And I'm like, I don't even know how that's possible, but who knows, you know? But yeah, 23 last year. Look at our. Our waters. Like, if you go to the ocean, you're going to find trash in it. You know, why can't we take care of what we have before we keep jumping to the next thing?
A
Yeah. Super scary. And World War 3 is definitely a possibility these days.
B
Hopefully not, but you never know. I think again, it's just holding a vision where, like, what, you know, for you, what's the world you want to see?
A
I could just be basic and say peace, but I mean, just fostering innovation and like, furthering humanity, you know, I want every generation to be better than the last. Spiritually, physically, you know, we should be evolving, not going backwards. The lifespan is dropping right now instead of going up.
B
Yeah. And what do you think is needed for that?
A
The comp. The problem is these companies are so large now, they have so much influence, so they don't care about health issues, so they'll just launch a product and then, oh, it's just like a legal bill. They see it as, like, harming people, causing disease. So something needs to happen there.
B
So would you say that more like going back to your. The word you used earlier, community, like connectivity between, like, the masses, basically.
A
Yeah, yeah. If we can go back to local communities where we're growing our own food, having our own teacher. Teachers, like, teach the kids. Like, that would do so much because if everyone gets healthy, that would put a lot of big evil companies out of business.
B
Yeah, I agree with that. Now the question is like, yeah, how do we create that? And to me, it's more, I feel like, the answer to me is coming back to the Earth. And what I mean by that is, like, once you realize, like, oh, I'm connected to literally everything around me, like, there's nothing I'm separated from. All of a sudden you're like, oh, I don't need to keep thinking about me just getting to the next step in my corporate job. This, this, this, this. You come back to this planet's failing. Like, if. If I might not be able to shift things, but I can start, and then maybe that will spread to others too.
A
Wow. So you think it's failing right now, the whole planet?
B
I think. I think there's a lot that's failing.
A
In what sense?
B
You know, just even in the US if you look at. I don't. And I don't want to be, like, pessimistic because, of course there's so many people doing amazing work. But I mean, if you. I guess I can speak more to the U.S. you know, you have a school shooting yesterday. It's not even like, the top of the headline today because it's fast news.
A
And there was one in Nashville last year, too.
B
Yeah, it. Then you have. I think it's. Half of all kids are facing obesity in the US Is that. I don't think that's a.
A
Something like, yeah, something's worked.
B
Something's not working.
A
It's terrible. You know, half the kids. US kids are so innocent and they don't even know they're being poisoned.
B
And I don't even think parents know that they're. It's like no one knows. I think that's the problem too. We all think we're people innately want to do what's right and want to do what's best. But, like, if we can't trust the places that we're getting it from, what are we supposed to do? You know, we become educated, but then things become more expensive the more educated you are as well, because you're like, wow, I can't even shop here. I can't even. And then it becomes a money problem of like, oh, no, I'm not getting. I can't take time off. I'm sick. I can't do this. Like, the systems are failing so not the world. Like, I want to backtrack on that. The systems are failing.
A
Yeah.
B
And it creates a disempowerment in the average person.
A
That's a good point, though. You do need a safety net of wealth to do what you want to do. Right. You can't just have no money now.
B
With that Said I'll go back to, like when I felt that calling to go to Asia, I had no money. I had. I had no. My safety net was I knew that I had people who loved me and of course they would give me a place to sleep if I needed it.
A
Right.
B
But other than that, there was no safety net. The safety net came from within of knowing, like, well, I want to experiment. Like, let's go try this. Let's see what actually happens. If you experiment and play around with the universe. Yeah, but when you have families, I know I wouldn't have felt that way. Because you're responsible for other people.
A
Right. That makes sense.
B
It's coming back to. For me at least advocating for. Yeah. The world to change. A lot of people are doing that.
A
Yeah. No, it's cool to see. I think there is a spiritual evolution taking place right now.
B
Yes. I think so too. I mean, the masses have definitely, like, there's been a huge shift. I think more people are becoming conscious and yeah, things are just spreading, like in a good way.
A
Yeah.
B
But I also think it's sometimes harder to spread things because some platforms don't want you to spread it.
A
Oh yeah, I just got banned on Tick Tock two days ago for.
B
You got it back, right?
A
Got it back for now. But yeah, with Tulsi Gabbard just for. And she's on a watch list. I mean, I don't want to get too political, but just crazy that people are being watched like that for voicing their opinion.
B
Yeah. And I mean, I. For me, I just always come back to that internal knowing, like, if this is what I'm meant to be talking about, it'll get put back. It'll come back.
A
Absolutely.
B
I just have to keep trusting that and keep letting it like flow through.
A
