00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.366
there's a cool element to this cuz like, you know, here's the really cool part, all right?

00:00:03.366 --> 00:00:04.536
You trick the subconscious.

00:00:05.166 --> 00:00:07.206
You get the thing that you want.

00:00:07.206 --> 00:00:10.416
You all of a sudden you've gone from making five figures a year to six figures a year.

00:00:10.643 --> 00:00:16.103
Well, you do that for iRANO, four weeks, six weeks, eight weeks, 12 weeks, whatever.

00:00:16.342 --> 00:00:19.443
Your ego's gonna figure out that you're alive, meaning.

00:00:20.123 --> 00:00:26.753
You've got this new level that you've attained that your ego will fight tooth and nail to keep you out here.

00:00:27.481 --> 00:00:28.231
all right.

00:00:28.231 --> 00:00:29.800
Welcome to the new Human podcast.

00:00:30.361 --> 00:00:31.740
I'm your host, John a Stasio.

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:33.990
We have an awesome episode for you.

00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:37.920
We're gonna talk about Law of Attraction with my friend Andrew Ka.

00:00:38.341 --> 00:00:42.210
He is the author of The Last Law of Attraction book you'll ever need to read.

00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:45.095
But before we start, feel free to share.

00:00:45.095 --> 00:00:49.765
share this episode with a friend, if it's entertaining to you, if you're getting some laughs.

00:00:50.006 --> 00:00:54.176
Also, I heard that if you leave a review on Apple Podcast, that helps out a lot.

00:00:54.176 --> 00:00:55.076
But let's get into it.

00:00:55.076 --> 00:00:56.665
Andrew, thanks for coming on, man.

00:00:56.786 --> 00:00:57.595
Welcome to the show.

00:00:58.066 --> 00:00:58.246
Yeah.

00:00:58.246 --> 00:00:59.085
John, thanks for having me.

00:00:59.085 --> 00:01:02.896
Really excited to be here and, and little fun thing for your audience that like.

00:01:03.511 --> 00:01:06.271
I, I love situations where like everybody wins.

00:01:06.271 --> 00:01:07.740
It's always like a win-win situation.

00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:13.111
So let's see if we can't drop a few value bombs in this episode.

00:01:13.350 --> 00:01:21.240
And I'd invite the audience if they leave a review to kind of like, in your review, just include whatever you think is the most valuable bit of information you got out of this.

00:01:21.421 --> 00:01:29.820
So now I'm challenging myself to try and rise to the occasion and giving people hopefully an incentive to leave a review while continuing to enjoy your podcast and sharing with the others.

00:01:29.881 --> 00:01:31.290
Cause again, I'm all about win, win, win.

00:01:31.740 --> 00:01:33.001
That's, uh, that's a lot of wins.

00:01:33.001 --> 00:01:36.646
And I'm actually curious because, uh, I got some good questions for you.

00:01:36.936 --> 00:01:37.805
I got your book.

00:01:37.865 --> 00:01:42.126
I started listening to the audio in the car and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:43.415 --> 00:01:48.156
And I'm not new to the law of attraction myself, but I like what you're doing with it.

00:01:48.206 --> 00:01:57.325
You have an awesome story that can tie into why you even started the book and an example of how it worked for you, and I think people would be interested in that.

00:01:57.331 --> 00:01:58.195
So let's start off with that.

00:01:58.251 --> 00:01:58.700
Yeah.

00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:03.171
Well, you know, as, as we're about to hear, uh, not all of the story is, is awesome.

00:02:04.010 --> 00:02:05.301
Some of it wasn't so fun.

00:02:05.305 --> 00:02:07.460
But, um, I guess that's kind of the point.

00:02:07.911 --> 00:02:13.790
And, you know, I can't believe, you know, we're, we're recording this in 2023 and.

00:02:14.971 --> 00:02:28.931
If my math is right, I learned about the love of attraction about like 19 years ago, and it was a thing where I was starting out in, in a new business and I was, you know, for, for myself and I.

00:02:29.221 --> 00:02:35.341
I was looking forward a secret to happiness and success, which I think everyone, you know, does in some way, shape or form.

00:02:35.610 --> 00:02:40.950
And as I was doing, that, law of attraction was just like one modality of many that I was exploring.

00:02:41.251 --> 00:02:46.711
As you know, I was trying to find this thing and, and to me at that time, law of attraction felt like this very.

00:02:47.191 --> 00:02:49.770
Inconsistent hit and miss type of situation.

00:02:50.100 --> 00:03:07.050
And I would find out a couple years later that it was actually me who was the inconsistent one because, you know, four years later, I, I hit this really rough wall where in the span of less than a week, um, I lost that business of mind and my girlfriend of three years, like one answer or the other.

00:03:07.390 --> 00:03:10.501
And, and it was one of those things where like, I'll sound dramatic as I put it.

00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:14.281
I kind of felt like I lost 90% of my life in just like three days.

00:03:14.700 --> 00:03:19.855
And, um, You know, I, I had a look in the mirror and say like, listen Andrew, you've wasted your twenties here.

00:03:19.855 --> 00:03:20.966
Your business is done.

00:03:20.966 --> 00:03:22.225
You've, your your love.

00:03:22.225 --> 00:03:22.735
Life's done.

00:03:22.735 --> 00:03:25.256
Everything's done, and something's gotta be done about this.

00:03:25.556 --> 00:03:36.295
And I had this very weird, simultaneous, like, moment of indignation and epiphany of like, looking back in those few years beforehand and how I would do things like manifesting methods.

00:03:36.566 --> 00:03:43.795
Can I learn, you know, through my study of the law of attraction and how whenever I was actually doing them things would actually start to change before.

00:03:44.131 --> 00:03:48.091
I ended up stopping and um, I was like, you know what?

00:03:48.540 --> 00:03:49.860
I don't care what happens.

00:03:49.860 --> 00:03:53.191
I don't care when it happens, how it happens, why it happens, or any of that.

00:03:53.656 --> 00:03:55.665
I'm going to stop stopping.

00:03:55.846 --> 00:04:09.885
I'm going to go all in with this once and for all, you know, and when I say all in, I don't mean like I'm gonna feel happy and cheerful all day every day because as frustrated as I was, I was also wise enough and, and self-aware enough to know that that's not sustainable.

00:04:09.890 --> 00:04:11.056
That's not realistic.

00:04:11.056 --> 00:04:16.636
You can't be ha, I mean, if you can, more power to you, but I, I certainly at that point, that wasn't the possibility.

00:04:16.636 --> 00:04:17.956
But what I could do.

00:04:18.326 --> 00:04:40.286
Was I could commit to just five or 10 minutes every day of experiencing gratitude, of visualization, of visualizing, rather, um, of doing some kind of method where I'm just feeling good while thinking about what I have or what I want, or both, without even worrying about what's gonna come of it, without worrying about the result, the timing of the result, the how, the result, or anything like that.

00:04:40.855 --> 00:04:47.125
And as soon as I made that decision to just do this and not worry what happens, it was almost like a movie, John.

00:04:47.165 --> 00:04:54.906
Like within two weeks, uh, I didn't feel a hundred percent better, but I felt way better than anyone with a broken heart, had any business feeling.

00:04:55.355 --> 00:05:01.536
Within three months I was in a brand new, way better, way more, uh, relevant and appropriate relationship.

00:05:01.776 --> 00:05:06.245
Within four months, I was making more money than at any point in my life before then, and within six months.

00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:08.081
Everything was different.

00:05:08.141 --> 00:05:09.850
I was waking up happy and fulfilled.

00:05:10.091 --> 00:05:11.831
I was in the best shape of my life.

00:05:11.831 --> 00:05:21.221
And I basically learned that whatever this thing is, and we can call it the law of attraction, or we can go in any direction someone wants to, but what, whatever you call it, it works when you work it.

00:05:21.701 --> 00:05:31.721
And it wasn't until 11 years after that that I finally gave myself permission to, to write a book going into the details of, you know, why.

00:05:32.036 --> 00:05:46.406
Why people, why, why we get, why we learn about the love of attraction or about anything that seems like it's a good vehicle for a change in our lives and why we get really excited and why we begin to use these things and why we begin to get results and we still end up stopping.

00:05:46.766 --> 00:05:49.365
And I figured, okay, if I can articulate, I.

00:05:49.425 --> 00:06:01.706
Why that happens, what's getting in the way along with how to finally get past that, then I can live up to this promise of what I call very dramatically very ambitiously The last Law of Attraction book you'll ever need to read.

00:06:02.245 --> 00:06:04.855
First of all, devastating situation.

00:06:05.065 --> 00:06:16.425
And if anybody's been in, uh, in love and um, you know, you find yourself just separate from that person and the longer the, the relationship and the closer you are, the harder it is.

00:06:16.425 --> 00:06:22.365
That, but being able to know that there is a, uh, a way to get over that hump.

00:06:22.370 --> 00:06:30.036
I, I, I feel like that's like one thing that and I know people that are in a trouble troublesome relationships with their job with.

00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.161
Their friends with their spouse, with their significant other.

00:06:34.401 --> 00:06:43.651
Just knowing that your story knowing of your story and that someone can turn it around in less than a year is just very hopeful.

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.860
That's why I'm thinking of someone listening, like very hopeful of being able to get out.

00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:54.031
So if you've been attracted, pun intended, sorry to this episode there's hope out there.

00:06:54.036 --> 00:07:01.401
So I'm glad that you mentioned that and I asked that, I wanna get into I have some questions here that I thought the audience would like.

00:07:01.401 --> 00:07:05.031
So why do some people give up on the law of attraction?

00:07:05.031 --> 00:07:08.901
What would you say if there's like a lot, what would be like the top three that you could think of?

00:07:09.016 --> 00:07:13.336
Well, you know, it's interesting because, you know, you can say, why do they give up on the law of attraction?

00:07:13.516 --> 00:07:19.096
Why do they give up on their business goals, their money goals, their fitness and health goals?

00:07:19.096 --> 00:07:21.495
Like it doesn't just have to be law of attraction.

00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:23.266
Everything's rooted in the same way and.

00:07:24.076 --> 00:07:37.105
Um, the reason they, they give up they don't realize what's going on here is what I define as the ego, and I'm very careful to say that what I define, because the word ego, it's a very loaded word.

00:07:37.105 --> 00:07:40.826
It's obviously a psychological term and everyone has their own definition.

00:07:40.826 --> 00:07:46.435
And if you ask, uh, a psychologist or, or a therapist what the ego is, it would be a different definition in mind.

00:07:46.435 --> 00:07:53.065
So just for clarity, the ego as I define it, is that part of your mind that sits between.

00:07:53.425 --> 00:07:58.735
You're conscious and you're subconscious, not only in terms of position, but in terms of power and influence.

00:07:58.946 --> 00:08:06.386
Um, you know, first there's your conscious mind, which your ego is way more powerful then, but also fortunately as we'll, find out why this is relevant.

00:08:06.565 --> 00:08:09.355
Your subconscious mind is even more re uh, powerful than the ego.

00:08:09.805 --> 00:08:19.286
But the thing about the ego is the reason we quit is because the ego, as I define it, is that part of your mind that only has one job in this world.

00:08:19.536 --> 00:08:21.516
And that is your survival.

00:08:21.846 --> 00:08:35.296
And that's really relevant because wherever you are in your life right now, whatever money problems, whatever, relationship problems, even whatever health problems, your ego is scanning the terrain, looking around and saying, you know what?

00:08:35.921 --> 00:08:37.600
My person is alive.

00:08:37.841 --> 00:08:44.081
Therefore, I do not want to risk the status quo, even if it's, even if they think it's a positive change.

00:08:44.291 --> 00:08:51.311
I don't wanna risk anything changing because I can't predict the probability of survival if that person gets this thing that they want.

00:08:51.895 --> 00:09:00.895
So, for example, someone out there might wanna, um, end up, you know, they wanna be rich and famous, but for all your ego knows is when you become famous, you're gonna get a stalker.

00:09:01.166 --> 00:09:03.385
And that's a threat to your survival for all.

00:09:03.385 --> 00:09:03.926
Your ego knows.

00:09:03.926 --> 00:09:08.186
When you get rich, you're gonna have distant family coming out of, uh, outta nowhere to try to s.

00:09:08.206 --> 00:09:12.135
You know, sue you for your home or, or who knows what another threat to survival.

00:09:12.135 --> 00:09:25.966
So this, this ego, it actually loves you and it's, it's a misguided attempt to protect you by, because it's not interested against, it doesn't care about your satisfaction, it doesn't care about your comfort, it certainly doesn't care about your fulfillment.

00:09:25.966 --> 00:09:27.436
It only cares about your survival.

00:09:27.441 --> 00:09:30.821
And right now it's like, I know my person's alive.

00:09:30.821 --> 00:09:31.750
I don't wanna risk it.

00:09:31.780 --> 00:09:40.270
And because it's got more influence than the conscious mind, it's gonna be that, that voice, that whisper in your ear, you know that devil on your shoulder.

00:09:41.096 --> 00:09:47.245
That when you've like started working out consistently, it'll be the one to tell you, you know, you've done such a good job, you don't gotta work out today.

00:09:47.456 --> 00:09:49.975
Or, you know what, you've done so great in your diet.

00:09:50.125 --> 00:09:51.655
You can grab a box of donuts.

00:09:51.686 --> 00:09:55.495
Or, you know, you've done so great in your lava traction manifesting methods.

00:09:55.615 --> 00:09:56.995
You could skip a week.

00:09:57.115 --> 00:09:58.076
It's fine.

00:09:58.081 --> 00:10:00.985
Like whatever it is, whatever that nudge it can do it through.

00:10:01.431 --> 00:10:06.740
Through, um, doubt it can do it through, um, you know, a subversion of your, of your ambition.

00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:08.091
It could do it in so many different ways.

00:10:08.091 --> 00:10:13.791
I know this is a long-winded answer, but I'm really trying to drive home the point because this is everything.

00:10:13.791 --> 00:10:26.421
If, if anyone just has that self-awareness and they know what's going on, suddenly they are operating from a brand new position in their life in order to prevent this from continually holding them back in whatever they want in their life.

00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:27.461
I see.

00:10:27.461 --> 00:10:27.880
Yeah, it is.

00:10:27.931 --> 00:10:42.001
When you put ego and then you said it's like a, the, that survivor mentality I got like this I don't wanna say shiver, but it, it reminded me of like, man, that's like one of the lowest vibratory levels of conscious of.

00:10:42.255 --> 00:10:47.485
Of just thinking of opportunities, thinking of outside the box.

00:10:47.495 --> 00:10:49.086
When you're in survival mode, you're not creative.

00:10:49.086 --> 00:10:52.535
You're just trying to survive and you're running and you know, you're in that fear mode.

00:10:52.541 --> 00:10:52.865
You're right.

00:10:53.105 --> 00:10:55.115
F e a r forget everything and run.

00:10:55.525 --> 00:11:01.926
So it's interesting how you put that in there and then you have the logic trying to keep you in that one spot.

00:11:01.926 --> 00:11:03.245
I'm glad that you brought that up.

00:11:03.296 --> 00:11:06.571
The issue of ego being something that can.

00:11:06.816 --> 00:11:14.225
Keep you behind, but is there a way to position the ego to put you in a higher state of mind, like using it for good.

00:11:14.230 --> 00:11:17.542
Like what's the positive side of ego with law of attraction, if any?

00:11:18.316 --> 00:11:20.655
Yeah, well, you'll notice I, I talked about three minds.

00:11:20.655 --> 00:11:24.255
We talked about the conscious, the ego, and the subconscious.

00:11:24.615 --> 00:11:29.086
And the subconscious really is the powerhouse that can be your friend in the situation.

00:11:29.326 --> 00:11:37.755
Because to me, what I found in my own life, the, the answer to solution here is bypassing the ego by feeding your subconscious mind.

00:11:38.311 --> 00:11:41.160
Thoughts, feelings, images of the things that you want.

00:11:41.400 --> 00:11:52.230
Because once that's going on, once your subconscious mind has that vision of it, it doesn't matter what your ego does, because it's like, as I wrote in my book, it's kind of like, you know, fighting, you know, wrestling with a grizzly bear.

00:11:52.410 --> 00:11:54.000
You're not gonna beat the grizzly bear.

00:11:54.270 --> 00:11:59.160
And to the ego, and certainly to the conscious mind, your subconscious is a grizzly.

00:11:59.370 --> 00:12:01.321
So the key to this is, okay.

00:12:02.115 --> 00:12:02.865
How do I do this?

00:12:02.865 --> 00:12:04.426
How do I stop the eagle from getting an I way?

00:12:04.696 --> 00:12:16.966
Let me experiment and find manifesting methods, whether it's visualization or scripting, or simple gratitude exercises that are so enjoyable that I can actually look forward to doing them for only five minutes a day.

00:12:16.971 --> 00:12:21.735
Because five minutes is all it takes because positive thoughts and emotions are so much more powerful than the negative ones.

00:12:22.066 --> 00:12:26.505
And so if I can just find something that's so enjoyable that I can do it every single day for a few minutes.

00:12:26.865 --> 00:12:36.375
That's feeding the messages what you want to the subconscious mind and also in my belief to the universe and to the, the energetic ether out there for, for things to happen as well.

00:12:36.380 --> 00:12:43.905
So the key is, um, five minutes a day of something that feels good to visualize on for gratitude, and that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

00:12:44.431 --> 00:12:44.791
Mm.

00:12:44.850 --> 00:12:45.331
Okay.

00:12:45.541 --> 00:12:45.900
Okay.

00:12:45.931 --> 00:12:46.530
Five minutes.

00:12:46.530 --> 00:12:46.980
That's it.

00:12:47.520 --> 00:12:55.186
Speaking of gratitude, I'm looking at something that I want to ask you and you tied into it, but the concept of.

00:12:55.785 --> 00:13:03.826
The of time and the time lapse method that you have on that sheet of information that you gave me?

00:13:03.855 --> 00:13:07.255
I think I like back to the future, I like time travel movies.

00:13:07.316 --> 00:13:12.787
I'm thinking of time like this could be like traveling through timer, like it intrigued me.

00:13:12.836 --> 00:13:15.346
Time lapse method can you go into that?

00:13:15.395 --> 00:13:22.035
I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with time travel, but it does sound like it's like one of those five minute methods that we can share, right?

00:13:22.181 --> 00:13:23.620
If you can elaborate on that.

00:13:23.865 --> 00:13:25.576
It's a form of time travel.

00:13:25.605 --> 00:13:28.936
When, when you think, like, you know, you can think about it in that way, but I'll put it this way.

00:13:28.936 --> 00:13:30.015
Time lapse method.

00:13:30.495 --> 00:13:35.056
Um, one of my absolute fa uh, favorite methods that I, that I included in, in my book.

00:13:35.178 --> 00:13:43.447
so the way I kind of describe this is, This is all about thinking, you know, feeling good while thinking about what you have or what you want, or both.

00:13:43.777 --> 00:13:46.417
And the way the time Lapse Method works is very simple.

00:13:46.417 --> 00:13:51.486
What you're gonna do is you're going to write down 15 things that you are grateful for.

00:13:51.876 --> 00:13:53.677
Five of them are things from your past.

00:13:53.947 --> 00:13:58.147
Five of them are things in your present, and five are things that you want in your future.

00:13:58.506 --> 00:14:02.976
Only you're gonna phrase every single sentence in the present tense as if it's already happening.

00:14:03.397 --> 00:14:05.287
Like for example, my penthouse apartment.

00:14:05.557 --> 00:14:07.657
You know, I'm so, I'm so grateful for my penthouse apartment.

00:14:07.866 --> 00:14:09.037
Is it the one that I had?

00:14:09.157 --> 00:14:10.777
The one I have, or the one I'm gonna have?

00:14:11.047 --> 00:14:11.797
You can't tell.

00:14:12.067 --> 00:14:14.677
And neither, by the way, can your ego, your subconscious mind.

00:14:14.677 --> 00:14:20.917
But, so you're gonna write down these 15 statements, you know, five past five present, five future, and then you're gonna jumble up the list.

00:14:21.261 --> 00:14:26.121
Maybe the first thing is a present item, then a future, then a past, then another future, another present.

00:14:26.331 --> 00:14:42.802
And all you're gonna do is you're going to take that list and you can say it in your mind, or you could say it out loud, but you're going to read each item one at a time and you're gonna give yourself, you know, about 60 seconds to bask in the joy and the emotion and the appreciation of whatever that thing is.

00:14:43.341 --> 00:14:47.392
And then you're gonna do the next one, and then you're gonna do the next one, and then the next one.

00:14:47.392 --> 00:14:49.282
So this is more like a 15 minute one if you really wanna.

00:14:49.596 --> 00:14:53.557
Soak up the vibes, although you can always choose three, three and three or, or do whatever.

00:14:53.736 --> 00:14:57.846
But the really cool thing about this is, you know, um, 10, I'm sorry.

00:14:58.317 --> 00:15:03.177
Uh, I, you said you could do 15 minutes if, if it's longer, if you have more.

00:15:03.386 --> 00:15:04.976
Is does that more magnetic or no.

00:15:05.527 --> 00:15:08.106
Um, it, it can be, but I don't worry about that.

00:15:08.106 --> 00:15:11.677
I mean, technically it is, but like, I'll put it this way, five is enough.

00:15:11.706 --> 00:15:13.206
Anything more is gravy.

00:15:13.206 --> 00:15:27.802
But, but the one thing that you don't want to do is you don't wanna like do 30 minutes for the sake of 30 minutes to the point where you're bored and impatient, because if you're bored and you're impatient, While you're trying to do this, you're actually putting out the, the negative energy of, of the lack of what you want.

00:15:28.101 --> 00:15:30.772
But, uh, but real quick, just to finish up the, the method here.

00:15:30.772 --> 00:15:37.011
So the, a critical thing about this, this thing is two-thirds of that list is actually real.

00:15:37.402 --> 00:15:41.481
Because two-thirds are things that have either happened for you already or are happening.

00:15:41.932 --> 00:15:53.152
Therefore, the gratitude that you feel for those things, there's a level of certainty and power and, and just enthusiasm to it that you just can't manufacture, that you just can't fake.

00:15:53.542 --> 00:16:03.621
But because we as humans don't downshift very easily, that level of gratitude will also carry over into the future items, which again, we've jumbled up into the list.

00:16:03.831 --> 00:16:05.932
So the kind of confidence that you have.

00:16:06.307 --> 00:16:12.456
In that first job that you ever gave, that you ever got that you're grateful for will be the same thing for the promotion that you want.

00:16:12.636 --> 00:16:13.456
You'll feel that enthusiasm.

00:16:13.927 --> 00:16:19.596
So it's time travel in the sense that I'm, this method is a great way of feeling wonderful.

00:16:19.777 --> 00:16:33.576
Not only about the things that you have, but the things that are on the way, and as a way of instilling confidence and enthusiasm and joy, and opening the floodgates and opening the energy to invite those things way more quickly and way more easily into your life.

00:16:34.371 --> 00:16:35.241
That's pretty cool.

00:16:35.272 --> 00:16:42.442
You are literally tricking the ego and I, I see the ego as like this character that's like, I don't know what's going on.

00:16:42.532 --> 00:16:44.361
Like does he have a penthouse?

00:16:44.782 --> 00:16:45.861
What's really going on?

00:16:46.042 --> 00:16:50.991
I have no choice but to just give it energy, like, all right, let's, let's make some decisions.

00:16:50.991 --> 00:16:51.922
All right, subconscious.

00:16:52.011 --> 00:16:52.282
All right.

00:16:52.522 --> 00:16:53.241
Let's work with each other.

00:16:53.241 --> 00:16:57.892
Cuz we, we just have a list and it's all happening now, but logic, I don't get it.

00:16:57.892 --> 00:16:58.851
All right, let's just go.

00:16:58.856 --> 00:16:59.243
Let's just go.

00:16:59.282 --> 00:17:00.471
He, he got us.

00:17:00.471 --> 00:17:01.011
I don't know.

00:17:01.072 --> 00:17:01.701
I don't know.

00:17:02.356 --> 00:17:07.971
And there's a cool element to this cuz like, you know, while you're, I guess for lack of a better word, you're tricking the subconscious mind.

00:17:08.241 --> 00:17:10.041
But here's the really cool part, all right?

00:17:10.041 --> 00:17:11.211
You trick the subconscious.

00:17:11.842 --> 00:17:13.882
You get the thing that you want.

00:17:13.882 --> 00:17:17.092
You all of a sudden you've gone from making five figures a year to six figures a year.

00:17:17.632 --> 00:17:23.092
Well, you do that for iRANO, four weeks, six weeks, eight weeks, 12 weeks, whatever.

00:17:23.332 --> 00:17:26.432
Your ego's gonna figure out that you're alive, meaning.

00:17:27.162 --> 00:17:34.392
From you've, you've got this new level that you've attained that your ego will fight tooth and nail to keep you out here.

00:17:34.632 --> 00:17:38.862
So just as like, maybe it's gonna be hard, like it's still gonna try to keep you from seven figures.

00:17:39.102 --> 00:17:46.332
It's also trying to try to keep you from going back to five figures because it now recognizes a new point that you reached in your life.

00:17:46.541 --> 00:17:48.701
A level of wealth, a level of health.

00:17:48.916 --> 00:17:53.027
A level of positivity relationships that now it will fight tooth and nail to protect.

00:17:53.207 --> 00:18:05.656
This is why sometimes people like they get these big jobs and, and they get these big wins, and then they get fired or they quit or something and they lose their wealth, but only temporarily and before long they're back at that station of life.

00:18:05.866 --> 00:18:10.096
It's because they've already established with their ego that it's safe to be there.

00:18:10.247 --> 00:18:14.356
Therefore, it's a smoother, quicker road to get their way back whenever they need to.

00:18:14.981 --> 00:18:16.902
Mm, I like that.

00:18:16.932 --> 00:18:18.221
I can totally see that.

00:18:18.221 --> 00:18:27.352
I can totally see myself and other people fighting themselves on like, whether you don't deserve it or, you know, more money, more problems type of thing.

00:18:27.352 --> 00:18:32.201
Where you, you just listen to that on the radio, you go outside and you, you know, you start applying it.

00:18:32.531 --> 00:18:33.133
So I like that.

00:18:33.692 --> 00:18:35.922
Um, I was actually thinking, I want to ask you this.

00:18:37.446 --> 00:18:41.916
I wonder how the Wheel of Karma has to do with all this.

00:18:41.916 --> 00:18:59.916
Is it possible for Karma if you, let's say you have bagged karma and you're like using the law of attraction and you have these affirmations and you're appreciative, um, have you seen any instances where karma would block you if you have like really bad karma?

00:19:00.561 --> 00:19:12.912
So, so there's interesting levels to this because, um, I have levels of answer to this question cuz like, like one level on, I'm, I'm gonna give you a number of levels, but one level of my answer is I don't know.

00:19:13.596 --> 00:19:14.196
You know what I mean?

00:19:14.196 --> 00:19:20.767
It's like I can say, I know, I can think, I know, I can say and think that I saw something that was karma when maybe it wasn't karma.

00:19:20.977 --> 00:19:39.727
So like, on one level, I don't know, on another level of my experience or on a hunch or, or based on my intuition or based on a download I'm getting right now as I'm inspired to answer this question, I, I think there, there's a level of influence, like, you know, what the person believes impacts what they let or don't let into their life.

00:19:40.027 --> 00:19:42.007
I, so for example, you know, I think.

00:19:42.426 --> 00:19:44.406
When we hear karma, you probably think like, you know what?

00:19:44.406 --> 00:19:47.826
Goes round, comes round, you do good, you get good, you do bad, you get bad.

00:19:48.007 --> 00:19:53.527
So the way I'm interpreting your question is like, if you do bad in the past, will that hold you back for the present?

00:19:53.707 --> 00:19:56.047
And, and here's, here's where it really gets interesting.

00:19:57.037 --> 00:20:11.902
Um, if you feel guilty or you believe you deserve to be punished, You're going to be carrying that belief and that's going to manifest itself again, whether it's through the energetic ether or it's just through your subconscious mind, being programmed by you, by these thoughts and feelings and opinions.

00:20:12.261 --> 00:20:24.321
Um, by that same token, maybe again, karma is a thing and even if you have that level of belief and you've forgiven yourself, there might be a residual, um, energetic receipt that you've gotta deal with.

00:20:24.622 --> 00:20:29.662
So, so my ultimate answer is like, if you've done bad, Worked.

00:20:29.662 --> 00:20:31.221
Do your best to make it right.

00:20:31.281 --> 00:20:37.281
Do your best to forgive yourself, do your best to pay things forward, and do your best to focus on good.

00:20:37.551 --> 00:20:57.051
Because the only thing you can do from this point is, you know, seek what in your mind really is a redemption because, you know, ultimately, um, the goal would hopefully be, you know, for your happiness and your success and your fulfillment to be living a good life where you're serving others and you're doing right by others, rather than, you know, screwing them over or anything like that.

00:20:57.616 --> 00:20:58.156
Mm.

00:20:58.366 --> 00:21:15.336
And, and as I'm reflecting on your answer, I'm also thinking, um, Uh, you getting into your ego, let's say if you have a goal, I can see the universe and just everything being set up so that you can become the person that deserves it.

00:21:15.396 --> 00:21:21.977
And at the same time, I I, I'm aware that appreciation helps alleviate a lot of karma based off of what I've.

00:21:22.672 --> 00:21:23.811
Red and hurt.

00:21:23.811 --> 00:21:34.491
So it aligns with what you were saying, which is you may be carrying a lot of baggage of regrets of things you've done and you know better, but it's like, I don't deserve this.

00:21:34.521 --> 00:21:39.321
You know, you go home and you look at yourself in the mirror and you're like, you're still piece of stuff.

00:21:40.162 --> 00:21:43.882
You know, and, and you know, you don't deserve the good things that happened.

00:21:43.882 --> 00:21:45.201
You just got lucky.

00:21:45.531 --> 00:21:47.001
Um, and I feel like.

00:21:48.231 --> 00:21:51.922
Gratitude is like one of the hugest things that you could do.

00:21:52.342 --> 00:22:03.652
Um, and are, are you familiar with like, you know, how they take pictures of your energy field and your different emotions that are associated with like different brightness in different areas of your body?

00:22:03.892 --> 00:22:04.132
Mm-hmm.

00:22:04.761 --> 00:22:14.362
Um, from what I understand last time I checked, the energy of appreciation is like the brightest right?

00:22:15.007 --> 00:22:20.406
well, so different people define things differently, but like appreciation and gratitude and love.

00:22:20.737 --> 00:22:30.906
Those depending on the study or depending on, you know, the person reporting the results, it's usually one or all of those that are always like on the top.

00:22:31.146 --> 00:22:34.086
And the cool thing about that is like, you know, love.

00:22:34.747 --> 00:22:42.906
Love is to a certain extent, it's reserved for someone where there's like an emotional connection or things like that, whereas gratitude and appreciation don't carry that requirement.

00:22:43.146 --> 00:22:49.416
So they're better in the sense that they're more easily accessible regardless of where you are in your life and and who you're interacting with.

00:22:49.791 --> 00:22:50.332
Hmm.

00:22:50.511 --> 00:22:52.041
What do you, th what are your thoughts on this?

00:22:52.372 --> 00:22:54.301
If love is oneness, right?

00:22:55.582 --> 00:23:04.011
Um, would appreciation be, um, being in the state of being present?

00:23:04.017 --> 00:23:04.942
In the state of oneness?

00:23:06.277 --> 00:23:07.146
I would agree with that.

00:23:07.152 --> 00:23:16.477
I mean, I was just about to word it a little bit differently where like, you know, gratitude or appreciation are, are a pathway or an, or an access point.

00:23:17.781 --> 00:23:20.872
the energy and the feeling and the experience of love.

00:23:22.221 --> 00:23:22.791
Interesting.

00:23:23.481 --> 00:23:24.501
Very interesting.

00:23:26.092 --> 00:23:28.271
This is like we, we've got, I feel like.

00:23:29.436 --> 00:23:31.116
Good content in a short period of time.

00:23:31.957 --> 00:23:32.977
I'm a fast talker.

00:23:32.977 --> 00:23:33.396
That helps.

00:23:33.402 --> 00:23:33.727
Right.

00:23:33.967 --> 00:23:39.636
And one quick thing just to throw back on the karma, just cuz it came to mind and I, I want to help people with one thing.

00:23:40.446 --> 00:23:49.576
Not that I'm condoning violence, but say you, 10 years ago, you punched somebody really hard in the face and you feel horrible about it for all you know, when you punched them in the face.

00:23:50.507 --> 00:23:58.547
You force'em to go to the hospital where they did a scan of their head and they found, they found a tumor that if you had not punched them, they would not have found it in time and helped them.

00:23:58.817 --> 00:24:02.777
Like sometimes the things that you do wrong end up serving people.

00:24:02.781 --> 00:24:12.136
I'm not saying to let yourself off the hook, I'm just saying, you know, there's so much going on that we don't even realize where sometimes things that we do that we think that we should be guilty for where we should.

00:24:12.136 --> 00:24:15.527
I mean, you know, you don't wanna hit somebody, but you might have technically done that.

00:24:15.527 --> 00:24:17.416
Somebody a, a begrudging favor.

00:24:17.721 --> 00:24:20.392
In whatever thing that you perceive as negative towards them.

00:24:20.817 --> 00:24:27.626
I was actually I was, when you said, you know, you punched somebody I'm visualizing someone and saying, all right, cool.

00:24:27.632 --> 00:24:29.906
And they're just punching someone like, I'm serving you.

00:24:30.116 --> 00:24:31.317
We don't know what's going

00:24:31.436 --> 00:24:32.876
This is for you, not for me.

00:24:32.876 --> 00:24:33.987
This is for you.

00:24:34.856 --> 00:24:36.057
I'm building my karma.

00:24:37.817 --> 00:24:42.257
I had a conversation earlier today with somebody and it's relevant to.

00:24:43.517 --> 00:24:55.856
I guess you can say the Dark Knight of the Soul and also the, the idea of just there are certain times where like just the overall energy of the atmosphere is just negative or just dark or heavy.

00:24:56.487 --> 00:25:07.146
How is there a way, and if there is, how can you use the love of attraction or any type of exercises to get out of like that dark space, right?

00:25:07.176 --> 00:25:15.277
Like, I've been to an event, for example, and I was just drained, you know, and there was just, at that point there was just nowhere to go.

00:25:15.666 --> 00:25:18.507
Do you have any exercises for that or any thoughts on that?

00:25:18.777 --> 00:25:19.106
Yeah.

00:25:19.106 --> 00:25:21.656
Well, it's interesting you said like, you know, use law of attraction.

00:25:21.656 --> 00:25:26.547
I mean, I don't view the law of attraction as something that I get what you mean, but not something that can be used.

00:25:26.547 --> 00:25:28.287
It's just, it just is, you know what I mean?

00:25:28.467 --> 00:25:36.896
Like attracts like, but based on the knowledge of law of attraction, what you can use or what you can leverage is gratitude and appreciation.

00:25:36.902 --> 00:25:41.156
So put it this, this way, you know, you're going through your dark Night of the soul and.

00:25:41.656 --> 00:25:42.406
I've been through it.

00:25:42.686 --> 00:25:53.136
I'm sure you've been through it, like, you know, we've, we've be been through these things and sometimes there's a, there's a necessary element to this, but also there's something where you want to experience a level of relief where you wanna move yourself into the light.

00:25:53.497 --> 00:25:57.757
The fastest, easiest way for all of this is to find a way of accessing appreciation.

00:25:57.757 --> 00:26:11.571
Accessing gratitude, to which some p some people say, well, You know, that's easier said than done when there's something really horrible going on and, and I'll agree with that and I can't pretend like I know what it feels for anybody else when they're in a negative state.

00:26:11.842 --> 00:26:25.942
But I would say this, wherever you are in your life, whatever's going on, it's still very possible to be grateful for your heart, which is beating every second of every minute.

00:26:26.362 --> 00:26:49.132
Of every hour, of every day, of every week, of every month, of every year, of every decade that you've been alive, tirelessly and selflessly pumping blood, oxygen, nutrients, to all these other organs in your body that serve you for your hands, your fingers, your toes, your feet, your legs, your arms, your eyes, your sense of sight, your ears, your sense of hearing, your skin, your sense of of touch.

00:26:49.432 --> 00:26:50.392
You know, it taste.

00:26:50.406 --> 00:26:52.116
Smell like all of these things.

00:26:52.247 --> 00:27:10.156
Every person, even if they're not there with you right now, that's been there for you in the past, every person that's done you a favor, every meal that you've had that you never even had to pay for every night you've had a roof over your head, every moment you've had clothes on your back, like there's always something to be grateful for, even in the midst of whatever's going on.

00:27:10.547 --> 00:27:14.207
And by having the self-awareness to be able to access this.

00:27:14.686 --> 00:27:19.517
Ideally it's, it could hopefully help you get past whatever's going on.

00:27:19.817 --> 00:27:23.386
Not to the point of, of like, oh, I'm, I'm completely over this.

00:27:23.386 --> 00:27:24.136
That's up to you.

00:27:24.376 --> 00:27:29.237
But to the point where you can do what the most important thing is right now, and that's live life.

00:27:29.267 --> 00:27:34.696
I mean, you're alive, you might as well enjoy being alive and, and that's kind of my viewpoint on it.

00:27:35.192 --> 00:27:35.521
Wow.

00:27:35.622 --> 00:27:40.271
I think we can close there because that was just like a good perspective.

00:27:40.751 --> 00:27:42.192
I, I mean, I saw my heart beating.

00:27:42.192 --> 00:27:43.031
I saw everything.

00:27:43.122 --> 00:27:52.638
I'm very visual, I do hope that um, you listening out there in the audience that you, Considerate if you were a skeptic.

00:27:52.818 --> 00:27:53.328
Considerate.

00:27:53.328 --> 00:27:58.489
Especially if you, I mean, if you're, if it's 28, almost 29 minutes in, if you're still listening, then awesome.

00:27:58.489 --> 00:28:02.209
This is awesome because you got a lot out of this, cuz I know I did.

00:28:02.328 --> 00:28:03.318
So this is pretty cool.

00:28:03.528 --> 00:28:11.037
Andrew any last tips, tricks, or pieces of advice that you wanna close on after doing that?

00:28:11.037 --> 00:28:12.027
Nice closure.

00:28:12.277 --> 00:28:12.567
Yeah.

00:28:12.567 --> 00:28:12.767
Yeah.

00:28:12.767 --> 00:28:22.916
Well first of all, like what I just did was a version of what I call gratitude blitz, where like all you have to do is, you know, you set a timer for one minute, three minutes, five minutes, whatever.

00:28:23.382 --> 00:28:26.981
And in that time, just think for as many things as you can that you can be grateful for.

00:28:27.402 --> 00:28:31.392
And by the way, if you don't believe in the law of attraction, guess what?

00:28:31.451 --> 00:28:32.142
That's okay.

00:28:32.142 --> 00:28:37.182
You don't need to, in order for things to get better, simply take five minutes out every single day.

00:28:37.182 --> 00:28:40.392
Think of things to be grateful for, and then watch and see what happens.

00:28:40.392 --> 00:28:41.413
And here's the really cool part.

00:28:41.531 --> 00:28:43.692
Here's the thing that you know, you can write in the review.

00:28:43.692 --> 00:28:45.251
Remember I said like, what's the golden nugget?

00:28:46.467 --> 00:28:51.356
Even if nothing is manifested, the fancy car doesn't come, the fancy house doesn't come to whatever.

00:28:51.416 --> 00:28:54.416
You know, let's say I'm either wrong or I'm diluted or aligned, or whatever.

00:28:54.866 --> 00:29:05.936
Just those five minutes that you're feeling good, that is a win in and of itself where you would otherwise might have been stressed over your spouse, your business, the state of the world, or something else.

00:29:06.237 --> 00:29:11.217
Every minute, every moment that you can just feel good and feel grateful, that's a win.

00:29:11.487 --> 00:29:13.646
And that's a real takeaway that I want people to have.

00:29:14.906 --> 00:29:15.686
I like that win.

00:29:16.136 --> 00:29:18.567
We all knew wins and wins.

00:29:19.751 --> 00:29:23.642
That, that feeling of achievement can do so much, especially for confidence.

00:29:23.642 --> 00:29:32.011
It helps me a lot in, in a state where you may not feel confident and you wanna make decisions, especially if you're over decisive.

00:29:32.461 --> 00:29:35.201
Undecisive not over indecisive, under un indecisive.

00:29:35.201 --> 00:29:35.561
There you go.

00:29:35.561 --> 00:29:36.102
That's the word.

00:29:36.291 --> 00:29:38.721
Yeah, counting those wins is huge.

00:29:38.721 --> 00:29:40.612
So that really, that really got me.

00:29:41.031 --> 00:29:41.902
Andrew, thank you.

00:29:42.172 --> 00:29:43.731
Thank you so much for being on the show.

00:29:43.771 --> 00:29:49.912
I know that You are working on something else, and feel free to share as we close out what you're working on right now.

00:29:50.112 --> 00:29:51.311
I think it's a new book, right?

00:29:51.701 --> 00:29:54.652
Yeah, well, I've actually I just launched it a couple weeks ago.

00:29:54.652 --> 00:29:56.602
It's called Just Feel Good.

00:29:56.692 --> 00:30:01.521
And it's interesting that you bring it up now because, you know, I remember I said like, you don't have to believe in the love of attraction.

00:30:01.821 --> 00:30:04.821
Just feel good is basically me explaining this stuff.

00:30:05.011 --> 00:30:09.362
Without ever using Law of Attraction or manifestation in the explanations.

00:30:09.571 --> 00:30:23.162
So it is basically the purpose of it was that, you know, if, if people were not down with Law of Attraction or they were, but they, they don't think that their friend is, here's a, here's an easy book that you can give them where there's, you know, there's no resistance to, to whatever.

00:30:23.162 --> 00:30:23.792
They're gonna learn from it.

00:30:24.301 --> 00:30:29.491
And you can get either book on Amazon, you can get either book on Audible, you can get the audio book on Apple Books.

00:30:29.801 --> 00:30:34.211
And if you're in the States, I have easy links to these@awesomemarvelous.com.

00:30:34.632 --> 00:30:42.211
Or again, you can search for on your local Amazon, your regional audible for the last Law of attraction book you'll ever need to read or my new book.

00:30:42.211 --> 00:30:43.382
Just feel good

00:30:44.086 --> 00:30:45.436
Awesome sauce.

00:30:45.911 --> 00:30:49.931
thank you again for coming on the show, man, and I look forward to staying connected.

00:30:50.306 --> 00:30:51.026
pleasures all mine.

00:30:51.026 --> 00:30:51.996
John, thanks so much for having me.
