Main Theme

This episode explores the profound difference between externally acquired knowledge and true inner knowing, emphasizing how to awaken and activate the dormant (right) side of the brain. The conversation delves into the limitations of traditional learning, the value of intuition ("inner tuition"), and spiritual alignment by turning inward. Derrick Abaitey and his guest discuss overcoming limiting beliefs and achieving higher consciousness, moving listeners from the pursuit of information to genuine self-realization and peace.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. External Action vs. Inward Attention

• The episode opens by highlighting humanity’s compulsion to continually seek answers outwardly, only to find that fulfillment and realization require turning within.
  • Quote: "We move, it doesn't move. And it's like you are compelled to awaken. You are compelled to turn the attention inward, you see." (A, 00:00)
• Crises and life challenges are framed as catalysts that shake people into considering a more spiritual, inward approach.

2. The Two Hemispheres of the Brain and Modern Imbalance

• The guest (A) explains the left and right hemispheres: the left is associated with analytical, external-focused activity, while the right is tied to intuition and inner peace.
  • Most people today predominantly use the left hemisphere, ignoring the dormant right side which helps connect to intuition and a sense of inner divinity.
  • Quote: "This generation is unnatural to move with one leg alone. We have two legs, so we have two brain compartments and we are functioning with one side." (A, 04:57)
• Awakening the right hemisphere is described as key to accessing genuine "flow," peace, and balance.

3. From Learning to Knowing

• Derrick (B) presses on how the guest’s apparent deep knowledge aligns with the notion that knowledge itself is not enough to connect with the divine.
  • The guest distinguishes between book knowledge and inner knowing, stressing that real awakening comes not from outside study but from inward experience.
  • Quote: "Truly speaking, when I'm speaking like this, it's like a flow. It is not like book learning… it's not a question of learning. Learning from outside is not the answer. But let the flow come to balance it." (A, 03:45)

4. Spiritual Texts as Pointers, Not Endpoints

• Derrick asks whether revered texts like the Bible, Zohar, Torah, and others should be abandoned.
  • The guest responds that such texts are guides or pointers, not the truth itself.
  • Quote: "All these things... they are pointers to the truth. They point to your very self inside. So once you can pick it correctly, then they have served a purpose for you." (A, 05:51)
• The essential “kingdom of God is within you” teaching (Luke 17:20) is cited, emphasizing inner discovery over external seeking.

5. The Search for Truth: A Parable

• The guest offers a metaphor likening the spiritual search to someone searching everywhere for keys that are right beside them, highlighting how people bypass the essence of their search by focusing on externalities.
  • Quote: "We bypass where the truth is, searching for it in scripture. Scripture is only a pointer to it, you see." (A, 07:29)
• Derrick shares a similar analogy of a trapped fly overlooking the open window, reinforcing the lesson that liberation is simple once the correct perspective is found.

6. On Spiritual Societies and Hierarchies

• The discussion shifts to spiritual societies (e.g., Freemasonry, Theosophical Society, etc.) and their hierarchical systems of enlightenment.
  • The guest (A) frames the physical, mental, and spiritual as a hierarchy of consciousness, stating that only by moving past bodily and overly mental focus can one approach true spiritual realization.
  • Quote: "External zone is only 4% and the inner zone is 96%." (A, 09:50)
