Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Stages of Human Development: The Age Analogy

• Derrick likens personal growth to a plant's progression and ties human spiritual development to metaphorical ages:
  • Iron Age: Majority of people; driven by material objects, lack inner peace, experience anxiety and constant "hustle."
    • "This period we are in is the period we call Iron Age. So majority are in that category." (01:26)
  • Golden Age: Higher state; focused on service to all, rooted in peace and magnetism.
    • "That goal is the golden age human, where you actually target service ideals that benefit the whole universe." (01:54)

2. Foundations: The Role of Peace

• Inner peace is the starting point for sustainable success and authentic giving.
  • "The beginning is the peace. The peace is the basis, you see, it's like sowing a seed where the ground is fertile is the basis." (01:05)
• Without inner silence, all calculations and efforts are flawed, like using the wrong formula in mathematics.
  • "If you are connecting things and it's like no peace, no magnetism, then the foundation is already wrong." (01:19)

3. Service and the Trap of Selfishness

• Many struggle to serve because their motivation is unconscious self-interest, not pure service.
  • "All that you want to do for people is because of what you want. So indirectly, it is not the people that you want to really serve. You want to serve yourself." (04:11)
• True service arises when the heart, not just the mind, is involved and is rooted in inner peace.

4. Transcending the Mind: Inner Silence vs. External Quiet

• Transcendence is not about withdrawing from the world, but about quieting internal noise, which persists regardless of environment.
  • "You can go into even the forest and sit down. And you are not silent. Because what you left at home, your parents, your children, your days thinking. People go to monasteries, but they are more in town than in the monastery." (05:38)
• Achieving inner silence allows for peace even in the midst of a crowd.

5. Practices and Natural Cycles

• Nature sets up periods of activity (day) and withdrawal (night); following these cycles can help restore balance.
  • "We live in a zone of polarity. So night comes and nature's language is now withdrawal." (07:09)
• Insomnia or restless sleep is caused by ongoing inner noise; true rest requires inner peace.

6. Children and the Loss of Peace

• Children naturally possess inner peace (theta brain wave state), but quickly lose it due to societal pressures and anxious adults.
  • "Babies are always in deep rest and there is an inner noise they haven't picked. So they are so rested. And as you grow up... they quickly push you into the inner noise state." (08:43)

7. Iron Age Symptoms: Anxiety and Disconnection

• When peace and magnetism are lacking, anxiety, fear, anger, and constant striving result.
  • "With that means anxiety. Anxiety, anxiety, fear, anger, this, that, that is the symptom. Those are the symptoms that we've lost the peace." (10:35)
• Without magnetism, people are always struggling, reaching for material things that stay "above" them.

8. Moving Beyond the Iron Age:

• Through understanding and specific practices, one can transcend to higher stages (the "Copper Age" and beyond), characterized by increasing peace and magnetism.

9. Definition of True Success

• True success is defined as a life free from anxiety, fear, anger, and grief—rooted in spirit and expressed as authentic, universal service.
  • "Certainly the true success will leave out anxieties, fears, anger, grief. All those things will be out of it. Why? Because spirit has its attributes." (12:12)

Summary Takeaway

Inner peace is not just a luxury—it's the non-negotiable foundation for magnetism, authentic service, and lasting success. Most struggle because they chase outcomes and service without first establishing inner silence. With conscious understanding and practice, anyone can transcend the "Iron Age" anxieties and reach a higher state defined by spirit, service, and natural abundance.

Transcript

[A]

It's just like when a plant is growing. The final point is the fruits ripening, you see? So when you can proceed from the lower stage, it's understanding those in the lower, let me use the word class, the lower side, where they are targeting objects and their inner piece is covered up. They are not then a lot of anxieties, they are not magnetic and they hustle. And they are in the majority. This period we are in is the period we call Iron Age. So majority are in that category. But with understanding, one can, even today, Today, Today, with proper understanding, move.

[B]

Right, that was my question. Can we move from one stage to the other?

[A]

Surely, right? Surely. But where the beginning is, if you miss it, then you'll be searching everywhere. The beginning is the peace. The peace is the basis, you see, it's like sowing a seed where the ground is fertile is the basis. And the other conditions like water coming and so on. So if it is wrongly placed, for example, you place the seed on bare rock, then from the start you are looser. So if you are connecting things and it's like no peace, no magnetism, then the foundation is already wrong. And it's like you are making a calculation and maybe mathematics, you are calculating. But your fair statement, you made a mistake. And you are using the mistake to calculate to get an answer. You see, the formula is wrong. Formula is wrong. So if you get that piece, then you have gotten the basis for going up. And then the success, success, success. But you need to get the goal. And that goal is the golden age human, where you actually target service ideals that benefits the whole universe, including humans, animals, trees, everything, even the seen and unseen. They all come in and at a point you realize that it's returned in service to you all the time. You don't hustle.

[B]

But though doesn't it get difficult if you choose service? Because what is going to happen is that I have started out, I want.

[A]

To feed children in my village, but.

[B]

I have very little coming in. I've still got bills to pay, I still have people to take care of. But this is what I really want to do. And I feel it deep within.

[A]

You may have that feeling, but if that feeling is originated from the man you see, you actually get the conditions like water on your crop you are providing. You are expecting it to grow. Meanwhile the soil is not good. So in the long, long run becomes a struggle that you don't actually overcome all your life.

[B]

So why do most people suffer when.

[A]

They are trying to do good to people? Yes, it's because the Good people is not rooted in the peace. You see, Let me be clear. Say you have the mind, you have the heart. Frequencies from the mind are not the highest frequencies from the heart, closer to spirit. Sometimes you from the mind, you want to reach out, you want to do something for people. But whenever money is involved, it is coming from a selfish point. All that you want to do for people is because of what you want. So indirectly, it is not the people that you want to really serve. You want to serve yourself. But it's like, if I can reach out and help these people, then I will get this, then I'll get that. So behind it all is not the people. Honestly, deeply, you see, it is a little tricky. Really tricky.

[B]

How do we transcend. How do we transcend the mind?

[A]

Very good. Okay, very good. Well, we come to that. See, transcending the mind becomes a basic topic. It's not as difficult when one doesn't understand. It becomes difficult initially when we talk of transcending the mind, it is not like the things that we are getting involved with in the world. You withdraw from it, then it means you are getting to the peace. No, it is the inner noise. Inner noise, Even when you keep silence, there is things expressed from inside. Like you are. You are thinking of this and that, you see? So once the inner noise is going on, for example, he's referring you to yesterday, he's referring you to tomorrow. He's referring you to somebody who is doing better. And you need to be like that. You need to do this, you need. So it's coming from inside. Even though you have left all the external noise, you can go into even the forest and sit down. And you are not silent. Because what you left at home, your parents, your children, your days thinking. People go to monasteries, but they are more in town than in the monastery. So the inside topic, if you achieve the inside peace, you can be in the crowd and be peaceful. So first there must be understanding about what I'm talking about. That's where the magnetism comes forward.

[B]

So then how do we achieve it?

[A]

I'm coming to practices, I'm coming to that. But the point is understanding. Okay? Yes. So initially, because external noise distracts and internal also distracts, internal noise also distracts. So it appears as if you try to begin by. As a beginner may have a little withdrawal and nature is helping it. That is why we have day and night. The day you get involved in so many things, we live in a zone of polarity. So night comes and nature's language is now withdrawn you see, now we live on natural life. We don't follow what nature says. But let me be more so. Nature has set everything in such a way that there is activity and then there is withdrawal from activity. So you do things, you have to also rest. But the rest in if like you go to bed thinking you are resting and the inside is not resting, you see, the inner noise is going on and you are there turning, turning inner noise. So you are not resting. So we have techniques to help you to rest. How when you are getting rested, your brainwave will switch to the theta theta brainwave and you are in rest. So we see babies, they keep in theta state, always deep in deep rest. See, babies are always in deep rest and there is an inner noise they haven't picked. So they are so rested. And as you grow up, initially that peace is still with you up to some point. But because all around us, they have lost that peace, they quickly push you into the inner noise state. So they come out of the theta state very early, the children. And that is the Iron age. So iron Age, even the children, they are in the stress, they are also side the anxieties. And some are giving guns to shoot, giving this that we are training them into that inner noise state. And they are agitated all the time. But then if we come to the today, today you can be, you can move from that ion age state into copper age. But copper age, that is where the piece is beginning. And then your magnetism. So the technique can leave some techniques for that, for people. Yes, I will give some for before we close. Okay. But the understanding has to be clear, you see. So life is a drama like a school. And even though we are plenty on the planet, but each person is stuck in some category. And in this generation called Iron Age, majority are stuck in connecting things. Whilst they have no magnetism, they have no inner peace. And with that means anxiety. Anxiety, anxiety, fear, anger, this, that, that is the symptom. Those are the symptoms that we've lost the peace. So in truth, being a spirit, if your inner peace is coming forward and you are magnetic, then you are higher than things of this world. Therefore, magnetically you can draw them. And it is. If not, then once your piece is not coming forward, your magnetism is not coming forward. The things stay up their view. And then what happens is struggle to reach them because they are above you. Money is above you, so you have to be tense to reach it. But when you are up above the things of the world, then no struggle. The only thing is your target is service. Others. And once you are doing that properly, you become amazed.

[B]

Is that what true success is?

[A]

Yes, yes, yes. Certainly the true success will leave out anxieties, fears, anger, grief. All those things will be out of it. Why? Because spirit has its attributes. Different connected minds podcast.
