Timestamps: 00:00–04:31

• John emphasizes the difference between superficial legacies ("footprints in the sand") and lasting legacies with value and meaning.

---

2. Building Neo Masculinity Solutions

Timestamps: 04:32–06:45

• Neo Masculinity Solutions is about developing tools, processes, and curricula to reignite men’s intuition, critical thinking, logic, and reason, rather than forcing conformity to changing (sometimes unfounded) social norms.
• The company’s primary focus: empowering men to protect and nurture their families and loved ones.
  • "A man's primary role is to protect his loved ones... His family from threats." (A, 05:49)
• Both men and women possess protective instincts; it’s about roles, not rigid constructs.

---

3. Masculinity, Anger, and Purpose

Timestamps: 06:46–08:56

• The dangers of disempowering men through societal expectations, and the resulting anger or inauthenticity.
  • "A disempowered man is an angry man... a man off his purpose is an angry, violent man." (A, 05:03, 08:57)
• Modern confusion around masculinity, referencing cultural figures and the need for balance and tuning one’s internal "frequency."
• True masculinity is not about violence; rather, it’s about mental maturity and courage.

4. Healing from Trauma and Spiritual Journeys

Timestamps: 08:57–13:32

• John opens up about childhood trauma and his healing journey, including the limitations of traditional "proverbial drugs" and turning to plant medicine (DMT, the "spirit molecule") for deeper understanding and reconciliation.
  • "The proverbial drugs weren’t working. I was suicidal... Plant medicines help us on that journey." (A, 10:55, 12:01)
• Describes encountering new dimensions and confronting internal demons on DMT:
  • "I saw in those three times that I journeyed in the DMT world was different dimensions..." (A, 10:55)
• Discusses the universality of trauma: up to 70% of people experience it, 40% multiple times, and healing is about reuniting the soul and body.

---

5. Energy, Frequencies, and Courage

Timestamps: 09:44–10:32, 13:09–13:32

• Energy is described as operating on different "frequencies"—hate and anger are low frequencies, love and honesty are high.
• Courage sits at the center, seen as the emotional gear-shift to higher consciousness and change:

---

6. Finding Purpose and Self-Love

Timestamps: 13:32–15:41

• The host asks about men who don’t relate to conventional markers of legacy (like children), and John affirms that everyone’s journey is unique and valuable.

• John encourages the practice of self-affirmation and self-love, even advising looking in the mirror and saying "I love you, man."
  • "Love who you are... You have to find the love inside yourself first." (A, 16:13)

7. Intuition, Trust, and Moving Past Propaganda

Timestamps: 15:41–16:46

---

9. Theories on Human Consciousness and the Galaxy Analogy

Timestamps: 19:34–22:32

• John shares for the first time his “human galaxy theory”: people as galaxies, either "black hole" (consumed by negative energy) or "spiral galaxies" (radiating and sharing energy).
  • "We classified people as being galaxies. Most people are black hole galaxies... but all it takes is courage to step outside yourself." (A, 20:09)
  • Spiral galaxies share energy and ideas; contributory galaxies (creators) give back to the world.

---

10. The Problem of Algorithms and Need for Creators

Timestamps: 21:57–22:43

• John critiques the limitations of algorithms in shaping human behavior and stresses the irreplaceable value of real people and creators:

---

11. The “Oneness” of the Universe

Timestamps: 23:03–24:13

15. Parallels to the Music Industry & Legacy

Timestamps: 28:09–29:48

• The host draws a parallel to legacy and the music world: A “star is born” when an artist is discovered, nurtured, and encouraged to channel their energy. Now, that construct applies to influencers and creators.

Transcript

[A]

We're leaving footprints in the sand, right? And that's, that's the legacy. But those footprints get washed away. The legacies that get left are the ones that actually have value and a meaning. Your life has value.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

Any way you look at it. Don't compare yourself to others. You've heard that a million times.

[B]

Absolutely. Yeah. There's a reason for that.

[A]

There's a reason for that. And guess what? If you be you and you be authentic, people will gravitate towards that energy. John Krotek is a resilient, purpose driven and visionary entrepreneur and the founder of Neo Masculinity Solutions. Drawing from his journey of healing and military service, he helps individuals reclaim their personal truth and master self leadership, creating a lasting legacy of emotional resilience, clarity and fearless authenticity. Be your person. That's what it's all about. I think that's what this journey is all about. It's about helping each other, loving on each other and being authentic and being okay with I am me. It spans the globe like a super high Internet Elvis. Ready for free.

[B]

Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win.

[A]

The Living youg Legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy that's extraordinary.

[B]

The impossible has happened.

[A]

Oh, that is sensational. Jordan, Open Chicago with the lead.

[B]

You said Paul is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream. Welcome back to another episode of the Living your Legacy podcast. For inside Success. I am Ray Gutierrez, fresh off his taping of his filming of his Legacy Makers episode. Joining me today is John Crotek, an army veteran, entrepreneur, writer and founder of neomasculinity Solutions. Brother.

[A]

Oh man, you make me sound like the most famous person in the world.

[B]

You are.

[A]

Oh, thank you for that. You know, but before we get started, I just want to let the listeners and the viewers know you have got to visit this small studio. There's so much good vibe going on in here. It's, it's incredible. And this is a great place to decompress.

[B]

Thanks, John.

[A]

But you all have made everything really nice here.

[B]

No, man, I appreciate that, brother. Happy Tuesday to you. It's Tuesday, right? It is, it is, yeah, it is, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Time is flying.

[B]

I, I'm glad that you, you are in such a. An ascension. This is what this is about. To capture the moment of your, your power. You just finished filming your episode for Legacy Makers. John, what are we going to learn about you?

[A]

You know, authenticity is everything. And you know what, the professionals that you all have working here Bring that out. And we go through our lives wondering, who are we? What are we doing? Why are we here? You know, all those same questions that people ask forever. And you've done this before, so you have a way of drawing that out. And when somebody leaves the studio, I can assure you they're going to feel authentic and they're going to feel welcome and they're going to feel like they've been cared about. So that's cool.

[B]

Gosh, man, thank you so much for that affirmation. I think we're nearing our anniversary. Our first year as inside success. And the story started in that quarter in that studio. And I made sure when I spoke to Rudy, every cable, every angle, everything needs to be a certain way. Because folks like yourself that see reality in two ways. What's in our. In front of our eyeballs, the 10, and then there's the other 90 that folks don't recognize. I'm chasing the 90%, the where everything is at. So when you walk into a room, into a production, you feel it, you're just at ease and all you want to do is like, where's the camera? Let's do this. And that's kind of what the aura that we, we designed here.

[A]

Well, you've created it. Let me tell you something, and this is no nonsense. I'm old school, right?

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

And I'm used to, you know, shaking somebody's hand and telling them we're going to do that and then it doesn't get done. Right. But in the digital space today, companies like yours are so badly needed and I say to restore the faith, and I'll tell you what I mean, because everybody build a website and they will come.

[B]

That's not true anymore.

[A]

There's so much more to building a personal brand and, and sharing your story with others. And this puts faith back into that. So it's a one year anniversary. I can probably visit you again on the 10th year anniversary.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Because you're gonna. It's brilliant.

[B]

I can't wait to see what you look like in 10 years, my friend.

[A]

Well, you know, I hope I'm still around.

[B]

Oh, you definitely will, my friend. So let's talk about this Neo masculinity. What is this about? And sign me up.

[A]

Okay, well, if you. Great question. But if you go, if you go online.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

And you look up neo masculinity, and basically what it says is that you have for a man to be masculine, he has to accept changing social norms. Oh, yeah. Well, we're all about change. And all this. But what happens if the social norm is not based on facts or the truth? What happens if it's an ideology that you don't necessarily support? So you're telling me that I, in order for me to be a masculine man, that I have to accept something that's not true? Yeah. No. So immediately you get disempowered. And a disempowered man is an angry man. Yep. He's an inauthentic man. So what do we do? Neomasculinity. Dot solutions.

[B]

Or this is dot solutions.

[A]

Dot solutions. Correct. We are. We are. We are creating tools and processes and curricula. Oh, yeah. To reignite human intuition.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

Critical thinking. Oh, what is that? Right. Logic and reason and common sense. Yeah. So a man's primary role is to protect his loved ones. We did the research. That's it. That's his primary role in life. Protect his family from threats.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It could be the same for a

[B]

woman too, for sure.

[A]

So we're not talking about anything other than roles here. And so that's what we've done. So we're creating this curricula. We've got some really cool things coming online in the next six months. We have a rock solid professional team of men and women helping us to. To build this company. And being with legacy makers is like. Like a dream come true, because that's how the universe works. It brings authenticity to authenticity. This is a real value I can feel. How can you walk into your studio and not feel value right on. Or feel like you want me here?

[B]

Oh, I definitely want you here. And I'm just eager to learn more about you. I'm. I'm. We here collectively, we are all energy based. We recognize the. Let's say the all of your senses. So to feel his energy from you is amazing. Where. Where do you think you land? Five years ago, being a man was Andrew Tate. It was very. It was very lead with fire. And a lot of folks didn't quite understand why is. Why is this character that's speaking this way so misogynistic, so grotesque, so binary? He's getting all these clicks, all this attention. And I want to go ahead and tell you, because men are afraid to be men. And then when you kind of define what is a man, doesn't it play sports? Does it kick everyone's ass and punch the door in? Some men are like that, but absolutely necessary. Necessary. That's why we have Operation CEO. We've got marines, we've got trained killers. But then the intuition isn't Giving a lot of love. The. The. The frequencies are out of tune.

[A]

You.

[B]

You are about tuning things up, getting men aligned into their frequency, into their higher power. We've evolved the red pill into now something much greater. Talk about that evolution.

[A]

Well, thank you for that question. You know, that, that my masculinity was violated when I was very young. And so I had questions of masculinity in the third grade when a. When a. When a young man, Young boy shouldn't have those questions. Right. But what I've learned in my journey, and you'll find out as time goes by. But does time really exist? But we'll figure it out. Right?

[B]

So

[A]

a man doesn't have to be violent to be a man. And violence is, to me, quite honestly, the last emotion. A man will go to the ends of the earth not to be violent. Protect his loved ones.

[B]

Watch Fight Club.

[A]

Right? Yeah, exactly. You know, but. But we're all. We're all capable of violence.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

It takes a stronger person, the.

[B]

The. The mental maturity.

[A]

Right. To not be violent. And the whole thing with disempowering men, there's a reason for that.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

If you take a man off his game, what do you do? You divide his family. You take him off his purpose. And we said earlier, a man off his purpose is an angry, violent man. And so I was talking to somebody earlier, one of your professionals here about the bracelet. She asked me about it. I said, well, there's some men that wouldn't wear it. They wouldn't wear a bracelet. It's not a manly thing. But the reality is, man, woman, it's who we are.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

It doesn't have to be some construct, you know, and what it does is it comes from your heart. It comes from that authenticity. And check out these socks. That is as authentic as it freaking gets. And that's what raises the energy. And you talked about frequencies.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

I don't know how they did it, but they've been able to monitor frequencies. Right. You got these lower frequencies of hate and anger and, you know, all the things that you shouldn't be doing that you don't need to do. And then you got all this higher consciousness. Love, honesty, real virtues, not just signaling.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

And then there's a. Right in the middle, there's this emotion called courage. And if people took a moment to breathe and to be really courageous. It's not courageous to tell somebody you hate them. That's like low vibration. Find the courage to change. Find the courage to be yourself and be grateful. And proud of who you are. That's a tough place for a lot of people to get to.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

And what's cool is, is you talked about energy, right? So I don't know, but I was on a spirit molecule journey once in my healing journey.

[B]

See that one more time. A spirit molecule what?

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Plant medicine.

[B]

Hell yeah. But say the way you said it before, because that was. Yeah, yeah. See? Yeah.

[A]

So I was in a spirit molecule journey.

[B]

Hell yeah. That's awesome.

[A]

All in a laboratory. Right. But, but, but what, what I learned in those journeys, it was part of the healing process because the proverbial drugs weren't working. I was suicidal on those trying to deal with the demon of childhood assault. Right. And what I saw in those three times that I journeyed in the DMT world was different dimensions. Now look at me. Do I look like a crazy guy?

[B]

Not at all.

[A]

I was on a spaceship.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I was in places that I never dreamed of. In one of those journeys, a demon was in my face. And you'd say, oh, he's just doing drugs. No. DMT is produced in the human body. When a woman gives birth, it's in this little gland in the middle of your brain. Right. Or when you. When you die, the human body. So I've been there. There's other dimensions. This isn't everything that you see, but the dimension that Legacy Makers has created is real.

[B]

Oh, yeah. I love how that's cool. That was quite the segue, my friend. DMT to Legacy Makers.

[A]

But think about that. There's a bridge there and it's all authenticity.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

Plant medicine. So we talked about this, you know when you're violated and we all have been through traumas. What's it, 70% of people have been through traumas in their lives and 40% have been through multiple traumas. Our souls get separated from our physical being and they spend a lifetime, we spend a lifetime trying to get it back. And all those plant medicines do is help us on that journey. There was a reason shamans used to be respected.

[B]

Oh, for sure. They still are. Yeah, they still are within. Within certain circles.

[A]

I probably digress too much, but. No, what I wanted to get back to was the authenticity of it all. And in an earlier conversation I had with somebody, that's what makes the world go around.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Quite the cliche, but flat earther.

[B]

Yeah. Okay.

[A]

Yeah. But the reality is this, and I totally believe this, is that everything is love based.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And it's not the creepy kind of love.

[B]

Sure, sure.

[A]

It's. It's a natural love that permeates from somewhere deep in our being. It's universal. Why is there so much hate? Why is there so much anger and vitriol? Why is there so much debate, vision?

[B]

It's a yin yang. You got to have a balance. Right?

[A]

You got to have a balance. But imagine a world that's balanced with love. Imagine that world for sure. So that's what we're doing. We're creating tools to help people find themselves. Really. But really to protect their, their families and their loved ones from the threats that are being caused by unreliable information.

[B]

So who, what do you tell to someone like myself that is a 42 year old man without children and is held on to this unre reliable information. Well, has held on to this truth that I do not want to create my legacy into this unreliable reality until I fix it. What do you tell men like, like me? Where do I find my purpose? My purpose is to procreate, to create love. But I, my, my love is different. My love isn't through my children. My love is through my work, through the energy, through the conversations that I have. What do you tell to men like me? Are, are we lost or are we on a different divine path, Sir?

[A]

Well, first of all, you're not lost. You're not unlike probably quite a few men like that out there. Everybody's on a different journey. Right. And this is why I like Legacy Makers. A name because we're all, and I, and I explained this one time, we're, we're leaving footprints in the sand, right? And that's, that's the legacy. But those footprints get washed away. The legacies that get left are the ones that actually have value and a meaning. Your life has value.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

Any way you look at it. Don't compare yourself to others. You've heard that a million times.

[B]

Absolutely. Yeah. There's a reason for that.

[A]

Yeah, there's a reason for that. And guess what? If you be you and you be authentic, people will gravitate towards that energy.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

That's why, and I'm not just joking, that this studio, there's an energy in here that's really authentic and really cool and honest. And anytime we can have honesty in a conversation, anytime you can make your people that you're interviewing relax like this. That's 99 of the battle. Because it's all about trust.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

And how often do we go through life? People tell us something, they do something, and we don't trust them. Yeah. Without that trust, without your primary purpose in life, yes, sir. I'm not even here.

[B]

Yeah. We managed to each other. Yeah.

[A]

You're not here. So, you know, so you. There's nothing wrong with you, and you're not alone. Do what you have to do to be you. Yeah. And be integral about it. And we talked about this. Look in the mirror when you get done today. Go. There's a mirror over there. Look in the mirror and say to yourself, I love you, man.

[B]

I love you, man. You know that commercial.

[A]

You're not getting my Budweiser. No, but that was a commercial. Yes, but that's. But so many guys are uncomfortable. Oh, yeah.

[B]

No, 100%.

[A]

I wish my dad, God bless him, he's gone now. But I wish my dad. He was tough, man.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I was. You know, I was raised between love and corporal punishment somewhere. If my dad had told me more, if he loved me.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

That I. I could have had. I could have gotten over some pitfalls very quickly. But you have to find the love inside yourself first.

[B]

For sure. For sure.

[A]

Love who you are. Don't listen to what the naysayers say. Quit going through all that ridiculous propaganda or go through it, analyze it, educate

[B]

it from an educated point of view. Higher ground. If you hire.

[A]

Use your human intuition. Something that we don't use anymore. We don't use our intuition.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

If the hairs on the back of your neck go up and somebody tells you something and you know it's just flat out wrong, you don't have to believe it.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Be your person. That's what it's all about. I think that's what this journey is all about. It's about helping each other, loving on each other and being authentic and being okay with I am me.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

We're working on a company. You might hear about it later on because you probably help us do some work with it. But it's called Task Force Zen. And I'm kind of proud of this because in the logo we use some special air service wings from the. The British special, but on a. On a cracked heart that's been stitched up.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And in the stitches with the logo, it says I am. It's a global holistic healing project with commerce and education involved. And we're going to teach people all about these different modalities that can help them lead better lives. Really excited about that. But we're also very super excited to be working with you all on neomasculinity.solutions.

[B]

right on.

[A]

Because you're helping us to put some final pieces into place.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

And we know that to work with professionals is what it's all about, especially

[B]

professionals that understand what's really happening, reading between the lines and understanding. We're. We're releasing this frequency, this energy into the war. It's really a sonar. It's a. And we're expecting it to bounce.

[A]

It's totally working in here.

[B]

The fifth dimension. We want to have that in this podcast. No, we could.

[A]

Fifth dimension, yes. There's more dimensions than that.

[B]

Yes, apparently 11. Well, that's a different 11th podcast. But I do want to talk about this DMT experience. I, A couple of years ago I, I was pervy to. To and I have it, but I, I am eager to try it. I'm. And I'm surrounding myself with folks that are now intravenously doing the DMT experience and they've expanded the 15 minute moment into an hour or two to a

[A]

point where that's kind of interesting. I don't know if I'd want to be there for that long.

[B]

But that's the thing. We are entering into a world where folks are, are plugging in and plugging out and returning to realities into other dimensions, starting to map it. We're entering into that, my friend.

[A]

That's pretty cool, you know?

[B]

I know, I know. His eyes are like, wait, what? I'm like, oh, yeah. And it's awful. It's happening off a resort. A collective few. We're all, we're escaping to this island and plugging in and going, all right, let's start mapping where. What is in that fifth dimension that is speaking to the third. I'm. I'm. I'm a person that believes. Are you in your antagonist role, your protagonist? Are you walking forward? Are you walking backwards? Am I the hero in your story, the villain? I can even take even further what we're saying to each other. These words are just noises, drugs, constructs. And you are now communicating. That's all we're doing.

[A]

We're not alone in this room. I mean, Lawrence here, but we're not alone.

[B]

Lauren's right over there as well.

[A]

Hey, girl, what you doing now? But, but we, we. You know what, you talk about fifth dimension, and from what I understand, quantum theory and all, and all of the things that are higher consciousness type conversation. There's like 22 dimensions.

[B]

22.

[A]

And this is the latest number. One of my friends, one of my mentors is actually an engineer and he believes that everything is consciousness. Yes. Every single thing that happens on this planet is that, that's.

[B]

And then we call it Life, you

[A]

know, we thought, yeah, that's a simple way of putting it. But you know what? But, but here's the thing.

[B]

Is.

[A]

Is fear.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So we developed sitting, having lunch in Sarasota several years ago with a really freaking awesome intelligent woman. Overweight a little bit, but she was working on a program to help kids with overeating. Right.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And we started thinking about humans as galaxies. Yep. I didn't share this before. First time ever, right here on this show, we started talking about we are. We classified people as being galaxies. And most people are black hole galaxies. Their energies inside, they wallow in the mire of guilt, shame, blame. And they spend throughout their whole lives sucking in people's energy. And it's just not healthy. But there's a lot of black hole people out there. All it takes when you talk about frequencies is courage to step outside of yourself and to take a look. And when that breakoff point happens, you start to become. Look up spiral galaxy on Google and you'll see what it looks like. They start to spin. A spiral galaxy spins. They're beautiful. They're a ball of energy and they have these arms and spiral galaxies start

[B]

to meet each other.

[A]

It's really cool. And then spiral galaxy people are intersecting with each other.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

They're sharing ideas. They're trading stuff. They're spinning. It's a universal.

[B]

They're talking through their eyes while I even open their mouth.

[A]

It's freaking incredible. But the last. And then when they finally reach that fifth dimension, maybe they get into what I call a contributory galaxy person. Not even in the. We're making it up.

[B]

It's fucking awful.

[A]

But it's competitive. But it's contributory galaxy. A contributory galaxy person is you?

[B]

Hell yeah. A creator.

[A]

It's Lauren. Fundamental creators, man.

[B]

No, dude.

[A]

Fundamental creators. And we're giving back. And the world in general despises fundamental creators, of course, because we're pushing the needle forward. Think about this. What's an algorithm?

[B]

Algorithm? It's the, the, the, the formula of this, this technology that can predict what you're going to do, and then once you do it, it will give. Feed you something else.

[A]

There are rules based on computations. Yeah, they're constructs. You cannot take a human organism and create a. An algorithm to make him something else. These algorithms, these computations are changing humanity in a negative way. We need you, you and you. We need her.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Thank you. And because we need real people to create the love and to create the trust and to propel humankind Forward.

[B]

It's. It's beautiful, what you just described.

[A]

Thank you for that. But, but, but, and only here on this set. That's the first time I've ever shared.

[B]

That's awesome.

[A]

The human galaxy theory.

[B]

No, it's absolutely true. It's absolutely. I always say, if you look up, you see all these stars and you look down, you see these tiny, microscopic things, and you kind of look up and you kind of look down like this is the exact same thing.

[A]

Well, no, no, you raise a good point. Crystals. Right, Crystals. You know, so I got this one crystal that a friend of mine gave me. She was awesome. And, and it's a really nice polished quartz crystal. And there's a red spot in it, formed millions of years ago. And that red spot, if you were to take radioisotope, it's iron.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Right. So it's a really cool crystal with a little iron spot in it. Now you look at the sun. You just mentioned what makes fusion is iron. It's the same. If you were to take that crystal and take that iron in the sun, it's the same. Right, but even better, we'll take it another step. Take your blood, take red.

[B]

That's where you're going.

[A]

Red. It's the iron that's in your blood. Isn't that kind of crazy? Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

And your blood isn't red in space, by the way.

[A]

The same, the same iron that's in your blood is in the sun and it's in that crystal.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

How can you deny that the universe is not one?

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

You cannot deny that. And that's what makes this experience so gratifying and satisfying, is that it's iron on steroids.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

You know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. It's the universe on steroids here.

[B]

That, that's the beautiful thing. After a dmt, DMT experience or myself with lsd, you're not quite sure if the experience ever ends. Like, if I stepped out of it, like, I can still manipulate time and reality around me, did I unlock something? And then you realize, oh, shit, I kind of did. And then you start to meet other folks that have unlocked this superpower.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. And, you know, he says it like that, but. But it's true. I'll share one experience real quick. So I didn't know what to expect. You know, I come from old school, you know, I'm not into drugs really, but I've tried a lot of them. But, but so my first journey, we smoked It. It lasted, I don't know, 7, 8, 9, 10 minutes. Who's counting, Right? And immediately after inhaling a couple of blasts, right. I was transported to another place. And it was dark and there was a corridor. And it sounded like somebody was tapping on metal. Like taking a pipe wrench and tapping on metal. But I was obviously not on Earth anymore. So I walked down this corridor and I see this light emanating from this room. This is all happening right up here. And I walk into this room and there's these two beings, I kid you not. Sitting at a table.

[B]

I believe you.

[A]

With a screen of the universe, all the stars in the universe. And they're manipulating something. But they both turned and they both looked like they expected me. Oh, it's him. And they went back to doing whatever they were doing. But what was cool was there were these Plexiglas or glass tubes in that room with red liquid. Look like blood, but there were hieroglyphics floating in it. I was on. I was on that spaceship.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

I was in a different dementia. And the feeling that I got was this. It's a big universe.

[B]

It's massive.

[A]

And you are not alone.

[B]

Yeah. And it's huge because you're only operating in this frequency and there's so many other frequencies.

[A]

Unbelievable.

[B]

All sorts of things that we only can feel and instinctually kind of understand and realize, but we cannot see because our eyes are not designed to see those things.

[A]

Right. And you know what? I just had cataract surgery. I did.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

And this. I was acting up last week and it was weird because I actually saw my eye healing itself. Beautiful. I could see the cells. I don't look half baked, do I? No, I can see the cells.

[B]

I know what you mean. No, I know what you mean. It's a little like it was.

[A]

They was fixing my eyeball. Was fixing. I was telling Lauren, who's another professional here, that last week my eye was shut. Look at it now. Yeah. So the universe does work in miraculous ways. And. And you can, too. You can come out of the black hole right on. And. But visit Neomasculinity Solutions. Just go there. Look at what we've got. There's a. There's a complimentary strategy guide where you can change your life right now. Neomasculinity Dot Solutions. Download it. It's a PDF. We've got a Sentinel Handbook. That's really trippy. Love these labels and that. We've all got copies for you.

[B]

But.

[A]

But it's in nine languages for eighth graders and I know that you're beyond that, so.

[B]

No, you know, so I don't go beyond fifth grader, really.

[A]

But we can't.

[B]

Can we say that? Yeah, we totally can. We are podc. Yes.

[A]

But. Yeah, that's so. So there's a lot of interesting things and all I can say is this, you know, I can say a lot of things, but be open minded. Don't shut yourself out from a world out there that's got so many experiences. And I can assure you you haven't experienced everything yet. New. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah.

[B]

We're just experiencing life. This is part one, so maybe part

[A]

three in two dimensions. Somebody was saying two dimensions and now it's. Now there's 22 dimensions. And my, my mentor as a combat veteran from Vietnam who has taught me a lot about human interaction.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

And looking death in the face and coming back from a jungle to a world that hated you for it. And you know, just doing your duty and, you know, we've all got a duty to ourselves.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

Be you.

[B]

I was gonna say just to give you that affirmation. Wrap it up here. Everything you just described is literally the first meeting you have when you sign to a music label. Back in the 80s and 90s, in the early 2000s, when record labels were a thing and you had a hundred guys, a hundred of individuals that are at A and R and they're, they're scouting, they're hunting. When you hear the phrase a star is born, it is quite literally what that means.

[A]

It's true.

[B]

A label was designed to scour and find these stars. And you sit with John Ivy in the room and go, this is how the world works. We've discovered you. A star is born. We're going to put all these resources into you. We're going to create your music. You're this, you're that. Yeah. And all you are is a soul star. And then you will go through the artist journey, you'll ascend, you'll create you. Everyone around you will make money. And then we hide you because now we have to protect your energy. You're going to go on tour and we're going to surround you and put you in a green room. We're going to give you the skittles, the television, everything you need to be in this high frequency. Because when you're in that high frequency, you're performing, you're working. Because we just spent half a million dollars on your music video. So you're happy. So the other 10,000 people that are working for you are happy as well, because a star is born. Now. They're called influencers.

[A]

That's a whole different podcast right there.

[B]

But, you know, they're called celebrities. And there is no more music label. There is no more Warner Brothers, for God sakes.

[A]

I know, I know. You know what?

[B]

No, no, don't go. I'm gonna hold you back. No, no, we're gonna wrap it up now.

[A]

But it's funny, so I'll say this to the. Thank you for listening. Thank you to the viewers. Thank you for the song, man. So go in, get on YouTube, plug it in. You've heard the song before. John Lennon, the Beatles, all you need is love.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Think about that for a while.

[B]

Yeah. And that's a beautiful thing. Back then, you had the Bowies, the Princes, the Jacksons, all of these people that just took that first jump.

[A]

Led Zeppelin.

[B]

The Zeppelins. And now you look around and it's like, where are the artists?

[A]

Mellon camp, you know, Bon Jovi.

[B]

And now we're channeling these energies of all these peoples that influenced us. And now it's our job to be the carry on. The celebrities, the influencers, all these dumb names. We're just alive. This is John. I'm Ray. That's Lauren. That's Jason. And we are inside success.
