As Derek Robinson and I, Clyde Young, weave through the emotional and mental intricacies of life on our latest Master Your Perception episode, we invite you to join us in a profound exploration that promises to enlighten and transform. This week blends the raw power of visualization meditation in leadership training with the captivating symbolism of spirals, circling us back to the Native American belief of life’s cyclical essence. Our heartfelt dialogues dig into the emotional charge of our week's experiences, how they shape us, and the importance of emotional and cognitive communication in our daily lives.
This episode is a tapestry of personal anecdotes and the wisdom they hold. We've all been there, wrestling with guilt and the shadows of our past, but it's the art of balancing them with discipline and love that forms the cornerstone of our discussion. The power of inherited energies and their role in societal movements is also up for examination, along with the unexpected insights numerology has brought into Derek’s life. As we share these stories and strategies, we reinforce the sanctity of confidentiality for anyone reaching out, extending a hand to those navigating their own emotional landscapes.
Embracing vulnerabilities and imperfections is our final chapter, where I open up about personal reflections and the peace that comes with accepting one's whole self. It's about finding courage in the face of self-awareness, the challenge of vulnerability, and the wisdom in our shared human experience. We thank you, our listeners, for tuning in and hope that our candid conversation empowers you to stride forward with a renewed sense of purpose and bravery to confront your own vulnerabilities. Join us, and let's continue to master our perceptions together.

What is up everybody? Welcome back to the Master Year Perception podcast with Clyde Young. I'm back with Derek Robinson. We had a really good first episode and just want to keep the train rolling, so I got Derek Robinson with me. What's up, man? How you doing it's good to be back.
Speaker 2:You know this is a good place to be Woke up this side of the ground, happy. But, I was thinking, man, I don't know if you're open to it I was thinking we'd start today. Oh, drop in crap. I was thinking, anyway, starting today, asking how each other's weak. You know, like, what was your week? Like Some ideas, I mean maybe inventions, some big ahas, and if you don't, if this is your first time hearing what an ah-ha is, just think of the word. You know ah-ha.
Speaker 1:So anything that stood out, ripple effects you may have noticed, or shifts that may have occurred, yeah, yeah, I mean I need to do a better job of journaling so that it's easier to reflect.
Speaker 1:But what really just jumps out at me is this week, at work, every other Wednesday I have an opportunity to do some training for our leadership, and so this last week we did some training and I kind of went out of my comfort zone and led us through a visualization meditation thing at the end of the training and kind of I like took two different examples, two different things, people that I've learned this from, and combined them and tried to make it my own. And so it was really like I'd never practiced it or it, just like I had the idea right before and then just did it. And it was really good probably a little too much for a work setting. Like I had one guy even he just opened his eyes and stopped doing it in the middle, which I was like oh, that's interesting. And so after I like talked to him and he's like that was too deep man, it was too.
Speaker 2:I was like oh shit, yeah. I was like oh yeah, yeah okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm glad you stopped then, because I didn't want to have to deal with that, you know.
Speaker 2:That sounds shitty, but yeah, but that can happen. Yeah, you time and place.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. And then at the end of the week we got done with production early on Thursday, and so you know, just because we don't want to like not give people their 40 hours when that happens, I try to just put on a little training for however much time is left, and there was about eight people that signed up for it.
Speaker 2:We had about an hour, so wait that way they can make up out and it's getting positive leaderships get wow. Yeah, that is cool.
Speaker 1:It's really cool. Yeah, where I work is incredible. We were kind of, I think, that like we're changing the game Ahead of the time in a sense yeah, I know that there's other companies that do some pretty cool shit, but like it's pretty unique to me and very fortunate yeah, it's right up my alley.
Speaker 2:You had eight people, though, sorry. No, no, you're good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and it was great man Like I wasn't as prepared as I typically am or would have liked to be, just in the sense of I actually was really prepared in one area and very underprepared in another which is like having my own life experiences to share with the things I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:I wasn't as prepared on that end as I was on the other end, but what it did was it opened the door for everybody to have a good conversation and I actually came away with a big aha moment from that. That, you know, maybe we can either get into an hour later.
Speaker 2:I'm all ears, man. I asked you how the week was. That opens a can, yeah it does, it does.
Speaker 1:And believe me, man, I could talk, I could talk for hours. So you know, reel me in, but yeah, so in our last episode we had talked about how emotion is energy and motion completely and it's trans, you transform it or you transmit it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there were three. I thought it was like transform, transmit and transfer, wasn't it, or something?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so transmitter transfer yeah, transfer, thank you.
Speaker 2:I think transmits that.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but anyways the aha. Yeah, so the aha was. I kind of just started picturing it like our emotions, as if they're it's like an electrical circuit within us. Oh yeah, so it's never ending. It actually doesn't go anywhere. Yeah, it stays within us, and so if it's, if it's a, if it starts off in motion as anger, it's going to be that until we transform it and do something else.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then it's going to be that until we transform it into something else. And then the way it's transferred is like if, like my anger, I can transfer it to you, I can get you pissed off about the same thing, or in that transfer you can transform that. You know, we kind of talked about that like what I've done with my dad's suicide. Yeah, like he transferred a lot of energy to me that I'm learning how to transform.
Speaker 2:Absolutely the best way to then share that energy the way it yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it was really cool. Like I never really pictured it as like this infinite cycle. You know the circuit is like electrical circuit is the spiral.
Speaker 2:Native Americans always, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, tell like what, tell a little more about that, like the. What is that? The, the man in the maze.
Speaker 2:There's that, but there is also just the simple spiral and it's the life path, suppose you know, I'm no expert.
Speaker 2:I just I try to be. That's a great way to me, like, to me, that's one of the most positive ways to live is. I follow this guy traditional Navajo teachings on YouTube and I mean, he's he's pretty cool down to earth guy and, yeah, if people stumble on him, they'll stumble on him, but I don't want to like preach him or nothing. The thing you were saying, though, is cool. That it's, you know, it's always there, it's always stirring and it's. I like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how you're going to transform it, to then transmit and transfer the outward, how yeah, yeah, because that's that's usually like a big question that comes up is like okay, so I'm not, I'm not supposed to feel this, and it's like like the way I have to have you to post to know yeah, yeah, and it's like.
Speaker 1:I know that the way I'm presenting kind of insinuates that like it, but that's not, that's not what I like. I don't think you're ever supposed to say this is right and wrong, ever, and you're supposed to just feel that. But I don't know, I haven't had like a good way of like saying what the point of what I'm saying is is like feel it, but just know that it's gonna be that way until you change it.
Speaker 1:So like, and then it's okay, it's like hey you can be sad for the rest of your life oh yeah, that's what you wanna do. Or you can learn how to transform that into something.
Speaker 2:And it's not even thinking that it's changed it. You know, like, I think it's just like we said before we started, like when I have pain or when I'm feeling something, I don't expect to change it. I feel it. Yeah, I feel it, I acknowledge it. You know, like back is hurting. I don't go oh, my back's hurting and I try to build some justification or some story to why it's hurting. I go, okay, and I breathe, and then I think of a shape and once I get that, I think of a color and once I have that, I say hi, friend, and I acknowledge it. I say hi, friend, or like greetings, or you know I struggle with the word hello, yeah, hello, how low it's. Like I'm not low, I'm pretty high, so don't hello me. Interesting, but anyway.
Speaker 2:No, I really like that whole idea of it's all energy and it's always within us, like I even go as far as my grandfather and all of his family died of cancer. But I go as far to say that that was just anger, anger and guilt that was never released, in a sense, that just stayed within the body, that festered, and they didn't know, though they didn't at all Like they thought they had shifted, but they once they shifted from not being angry, not being rude or hateful, or fearful or whatever you want to use as the word which I'm in the works of doing right now. We all are. But once they got from there, they reached this point where they were, you know, in a good phase, but guilt was still. Yeah, anyways, sorry, I'm D Rellin, I always it's-, no, I don't think so, man.
Speaker 1:I think you're taking it where it needs to go.
Speaker 2:Run it, no, maybe, but I the guilt is such a heavy energy. Then there's I was telling you too the David R Hawkins guy.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:What he's taught me, at least through the readings, was big, so he's an author, he's got one of those.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this guy, he's a doctorate, like he's got a PhD. He did all the schooling, all the stuff, worked in medicine and then fell from medicine and was like whoa, there's a disconnect here when a lot of our ailments, a lot of disease, a lot of those things are created through energy, it's not through genetics. Genetics play a role, but not the biggest and that's what his kind of teachings are is like hey, you know, anger Anger we were just talking festering in you in that circuit and it's a pinpoint and it can cause ailments. Anger is one that actually man it like, it will create some uncomfortable situations within the body and then from anger. So anger comes up to when, when you feel inferior, when you feel less than anger isn't something that's always there. They say it's a secondary emotion and a lot of people break it down to like oh, when I think of my bills, I get angry. You know, when I think of that debt, I get angry. I think of this. When I get scared, I get angry.
Speaker 2:It's like, yeah, that's true, but anger is actually also the fear of being weak. Anger comes up when you think you're not going to be stronger than that person and anger comes up when you want to prove that you're not lower than a person. You puff up, you yell, you throw things. So that's where anger and anger. I wish I remembered the number, but he actually has broken it down and like, looked at the frequency, the hurts that it's vibrating at and it is one of the most powerful, like just the vibration of it alone. And then from that you then work through your anger. Let's say, you know, you're like, oh, I'm at a good place, I'm happy, but like I'm saying that guilt, guilt is my biggest one personally that I'm working on. Maybe that was passed down from my grandfather, his father and his you know, it could be that chain of just passed down.
Speaker 1:Well, what I hear when you say that is like it goes back to the energies transferred. Yes, exactly, Generation to generation.
Speaker 2:Once you said that last week it really this whole week for me. I've just been kind of processing what we talked about last week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I made this comment to somebody. I was like I feel like that conversation was bigger than the moment. I was like there's, there's a lot to digest.
Speaker 2:Oh man, but a lot. And that's how I get kind of I get weary, you know talking about certain things, because there is such a thing as you can jump time zones in a sense and we're all in our own time zone and if, if you're in a different time zone, telling somebody about your time, they're going to be like what the hell? Like I'm on a completely different time zone, asshole, I don't get what you're saying. And so that's where I get weary is, I don't want to do that leap too quick. I want the people listening, I want people out there to you know, be able to kind of it'd be more tangible if it's absorbed, exactly, yeah, be the sponge, yeah, but the the whole week, though, like I was saying, I was processing the energies and, like you just said, it can just totally be transferred down to us.
Speaker 2:And last week, when you brought that up with your father, it hit somewhere in my soul. It wasn't just my mind, it was like whoa, okay, that that makes sense. Like I've lost a lot of friends, a lot of family, and you know, and even before the ones in this time, for me there's ones that are so far back, you know, and it's all this cool webbed connection, and for me, guilt, though, kept coming up. Okay, yeah, and that's one that like, and it's not, it's, it's like, yeah, it's a daily, I'd say actually, where, like you know, it comes up and it's just like oh, you didn't do this right, you could have done that different, you could have said this better, you could have, and this is shit.
Speaker 2:That goes back 15, maybe 20 years, maybe stuff from throughout this week, but it's there and so constantly, it's a never ending battle. That's what I mean. We come to get strong, not to get by. If you're getting by, you're going to fricking get by, you're not going to be healthy, you're not going to enjoy it, you're going to get by. But if you're here to get strong, you're going to daily. And this isn't a discipline. Discipline is a good word, but some people hate that word.
Speaker 2:I used to hate that word, discipline. I was like you, fucking ego fueled, maniac, like no, it's not, it's. It's love, you know, and discipline is a form of love. Some of the greatest people in my life were the people who told me you don't need that second drink. You know like boom, but then those people also are like it's tension release. They know when to let go. Coming back to guilt, though yeah, Sorry, I derail a bit but no no, no, it's great, yeah.
Speaker 2:The guilt, though, is one that creates. It doesn't create a better word would be, it fosters. So it fosters an environment for suffering and disease, and that's guilt, yeah. And you know, it sounds scary, it sounds spooky, but you just face it, you don't think about it, right, cause I mean, holy shit, you'll be there all day trying to think that energy out, it's energy. You don't think about energy. Energy just is their thought does not play a role. So what's what's beyond thought? What would you say beyond thought?
Speaker 2:Like like next or so you got thoughts and you have, I guess, like I guess, like I think, like feelings, beliefs you said it feelings.
Speaker 2:You have thoughts and you have feelings. And if you're trying to do your energy work through thinking, you're wearing yourself thin. It's infinite, your brain doesn't stop. If you're like me, I mean, I was up till two, now three, and then woke up at seven and I've been doing that for the past. I can't even remember, like you know. It's just so that that's energy, right, and if you try to, you know, think about it or any of it, you are going to be up all night. If you're thinking, you are running thin, but if you're feeling, you feel it. You feel it.
Speaker 2:Even pain, man, when I get hurt, yeah, and I, you know, and then I and I breathe and I feel it because I don't try to avoid it. If I avoid it, it'll hurt later and that's like with anything. So if there is energy and feelings, we've already established energy and motion. So if there is energy and it's an emotion, then definitely, you know, don't beat yourself up on it, but acknowledge it, say what's up to it, maybe write out a few sentences about it, like acknowledge the energy, because it's not going anywhere, like Clyde saying, until you do Like, it'll just spiral and the best way is not to think about it. The best thing your brain does. I've learned, and I'll I'll move on after this. I've kind of this is great. The best thing, though, that I've learned personally for myself is you can already understand that the brain is a tool. Right, you don't want to be in it all the time. You don't carry a hammer around all day expecting to fix shit. You don't.
Speaker 2:So, that's what the brain is. And then you realize that your brain actually is the most beautiful tool to your body in releasing, surrendering and letting go of stored energies or of energies that are flung your way, because your brain interprets it all. So let's say, something happened when you were a kid and you don't even remember it. It's in the back, you know, you. There are three ways we get rid of things we suppress, repress or escape. And if we're suppressing, it's, suppress, repress and escape. So if you're suppressing, it's in your conscience, it's a thought that's, you know, come up, it's something recent. But if you're repressing, it's something that's a little further in the file been. You know you're going to have to wait a little bit, but it'll come up. And the moment it comes up, do not push it back down. That's what I've learned. The moment your brain even thinks that thought again, don't go. Oh fuck, you Go back down. Why did you come up? You go, hello or not, hello, fuck that, greetings, or you know, hey, friend, you acknowledge it like it's a part of you in a sense. You don't have to be attached to it, but acknowledge it like it's a loving thing. And once you do that and you feel it. Holy crap, man. It might come up here and there again, but over time it stops, because your suppressed thoughts eventually become repressed, right, and your suppressed thoughts are still there, but the repressed, they'll come up randomly and those repressed ones are the ones you want to. When they come up, you deal with them, the suppressed ones you deal with daily. If you're not doing that right, then you're escaping.
Speaker 2:And you know, I find myself it's funny I'm saying this, but I find myself. I go back and forth. There are moments where I have to escape. I feel, yeah, and it's not that it's a need, it's more of a in that moment I feel I have to escape this. It's, I think, a natural I don't like the word human, human, but it's a natural thing as beings and people that we have. And so I've just found that feeling. It is the only way to not repress it, suppress it or to then escape it. Feel it, be the buffalo, face that storm. Yeah, and you know, just yeah, it's. You got to first accept it and you don't, you don't attach it to you Any energy. It's not us, like you're saying. It could have been from my great, great, great, great, great, so far fucking back grandfather. I don't even know what he looks like, right, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I mean throughout history. Everybody, like I think that's what's going on right now in the world, like with all these movements, with all this stuff going on, I think it's just so much energy that has not been felt and I feel there's a shift going on and people are starting to wake up in a sense, to feeling it. But I think we have a long road headband. I personally do, and I I'm happy to be here to share this stuff, because I'm not perfect. I am not at all. I strive to be. Daily I fall short because I am a person. Yeah, yet that's the beauty in it. The perfect is in the imperfection. Yeah, absolutely yeah. Just because the flower doesn't blossom when you want it to, doesn't mean it's not perfect. Yeah, doesn't mean it's not a flower, right?
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I ran with that, sorry, that's how the week was, that's how life is so that was you were thinking about all that this week, yeah. I mean it never stops, for my brain at least, Like yeah. I'm always philosophizing, like I learned, about life path numbers. Have you ever heard of those? I haven't either, and you know I try not to buy into astrology or numerology or physical any of the odd ideologies.
Speaker 2:I'm like, yeah, scientology, that's the first one that comes up. I'm like, no, no, I'm okay. But this one was kind of cool where I found out I'm a life path number eight. Okay, and that's interesting and it actually made sense. What is it? Yeah, what is it? So you have one through nine and then you have these master numbers and I space them, but it's like 11, 22, 30, something. You know I'm spacing it.
Speaker 2:I'll have to pull up the article to the gal who does it. I mean, she's cool and it was actually a friend, you know. Uh, him and his wife, they go and play pool sometime. Cool, cool couple. Cool couple, pool sharks. They won't admit it. Yeah, oh man, that's complete pool sharks. But life, life path number eight though it, it basically says what your traits are, what your positives are, what your negatives are, and the positive and negative is what stood out to me. She didn't use it as like astrology, where it's like this is what you're like in bed, this is what you're like, you know the crazy out there, things, right, I found out. So her name is. I'll find it eventually. But I found out, though the, the life path number eight's positives are guru and angel, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:And the negative. So you have two positives to the negative. That's how an atom, that's how it all works, right? Yeah, two positives to one negative. Yeah, narcissist, oh yeah, so it made sense, complete sense, because I've questioned at times if I was, and that question proves that you're not fully.
Speaker 2:But when I'm in my lowest form, in when I am not taking care of my energies, my emotions, my world, I am that narcissist, I am the consumer of worlds, in a sense in my mind, which is dangerous and scary, but you face that. You accept that. Which was cool about this, because I had felt that I was like man at times. I just want to uplift people, I want to teach people, I want to just be there and cry with them and you know, like just Christ, love, you know, I grew up religious, but just love. And on the flip coin, when I'm in my lowest, when I'm not taking care of me and my world first, I am that consumer, I am there to. It's a dangerous, you know, but it's a cool thing to become aware of, I felt.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I think awareness is the beginning of everything. Like yeah. It's you know, when we talk self-awareness and gaining emotional intelligence, all this for me, when I started down this journey, this path, like it really got hard. It got difficult realizing things about myself, Absolutely you know, finally taking accountability on stuff that I it wasn't that I didn't want to or that I didn't think I needed to, it was just I never did, and so it all caught up in a sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah and then just becoming aware of it, like at first, was one of those moments that was like nah, that's, I don't want to do this Complete.
Speaker 2:That's why you have to sometimes escape. I'm not lying. Yeah, you sometimes feel that you like it's a lot like you're saying yeah, yeah, keep going, though I love what you're saying because I think a lot of people have that I did. I mean I shit. Yeah, we all man, until we are, we're not, and once we are, it's kind of. You want to go back to autopilot, you want to go back to sleep? It's the matrix, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I still do. You know, I like I definitely still go on autopilot. Life. It's just the push through, it Like, really, I there's so much liberation and freedom on the on the other side of that of yeah, just push it through and realizing that that is a moment, it's like a rebirthing moment when you, when you really start to become aware of who you are, who you've been, who you're becoming, it's like so true when you, when you just say, okay, all, yeah, I am, I have done all these things or I have you know, you just become more aware of why you do what you do, and there's, there's, there really is just a lot of freedom on the other end of that I love.
Speaker 2:You said why you do what you do, and something that always sticks out to me is what you do speak so loudly, I cannot hear what you say.
Speaker 1:Hmm, you know, because it is so true.
Speaker 2:Like, but that ties into how we are day to day and yeah, that's yeah it's interesting, the rebirth too. I love that because it's it's truth, like there's a lot of those moments in life. I feel I'm rebirthed every day. Yeah, I do Like I, I don't know man. The older I get, the more childlike I want to become.
Speaker 1:Isn't that interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like, and it's not childish. You know, like there's a difference, childish and childlike. And the older I become, the more I want to get back to the four year old me that was holding ladybugs, that was stroking the leaves of plants, that was, you know, didn't label this place because labels are dangerous. Oh yeah, I mean, I even, it's funny, but I'll, I'll be driving and I'll see a deer and I like it's a weird mindset, mind you, in a sense to some starting out, but if you don't label an object like Larry, your dog, cute dog, if you don't label him a dog, what would you? What would you, you know? And then you ask yourself what, what would I say? That is, if I don't say it's what I've been taught it is.
Speaker 2:And you kind of start then questioning that. And I mean the funniest thing I saw, these deer, and I just for a moment laughed, like you find the beauty, the funniest beautiful things in life are right in front of our face all the time. We just label it and then it gets boring. Yeah, the ones you say it's a deer, it's like that's another deer, there's another deer, there's a. But once you really look at the deer, it's like they're not all the same?
Speaker 2:Yeah, they might appear to be, but it's a funny, like you know, they got these big eyes and giant ears that move around and twist and I mean, in a movie they'd make an alien out of that but they'd add two more eyes. But really, if you don't label it as a deer, what is it? Yeah, you know, it's beautiful, it's interesting, it's funny, it's cute, it's love it's, and so I just I'm weird with labels personally. I found her name too. That numerology gal is Kaylee Mason. Kaylee Mason, yeah, it adds K, a, l, e, I, g, h, and then Mason, like the Mason V, or Mason rock, like M A S O N, and she's, she's pretty with it.
Speaker 2:I feel, with this, the way she does numerology is different than I've ever learned, but I still am funny with it all because it it all just comes back to love and fear and that's the simplest like Even I think I've told, brought it up before but the last supper painting that the Vinci did. It shows all the astrology symbols. You can do research whoever's listening, you can do research and find this out yourself. And so I grew up with astrology and it was like I'm a Virgo. You know the water lady, yeah, and in the last supper she's sitting right next to Christ, and then you have cancer. You have Jim and I, libra, all of them are doing their symbol motion. Interesting and yeah, they're all there and it's 12, 12 months, three seasons, for you know, it's broken down four seasons, three months. All that and it's just interesting to me because it's all in a sense connected To me. It all is L, all the religion, all the things, all the numerology, all the astrology. It's all connected and and if you become too focused on the light, you actually lose sight, if that makes sense, where I just like to view it, as you know, like I Love the creator, not the creation.
Speaker 2:I'm grateful to be here after the miscarriage, after all of that you know in life recently, yeah, it's just like, okay, I'm, I'm grateful, it's always working out the way it's meant to. It might not seem like it, it, it might hurt in the moment, but the universe, man, if you know, like the rebirth, once you wake up to your emotions and yourself, then you wake up to this kind of Perception. In a sense, you start perceiving things very different. Yeah, and that's why I love master your perception that Nate, like it is a great, because it is always a Rebirth and a new perception, and once you gain that of yourself, then you start perceiving Spirituality in a different way. And but we're here to be in this, so I try not to go too deep. I I find myself going deep and then it's like yeah, like no, be here, enjoy the body, have fun, get to know people, share your teachings and knowledge that you've learned from people like right, yeah it's all just a willingness to talk, get to know and spread, and yeah, yeah, I'm running a ton.
Speaker 2:Sorry man, I'm deep rellen, I'm all no man, it's great.
Speaker 1:I love it, I love it, I love it. It's just so much to talk about. It's yeah there is that?
Speaker 2:What's something, though, this week, like what would you say? Something that challenged you, challenged me. What was a challenge this week? That was kind of like you had to use some of the skills and things you've learned.
Speaker 1:Yeah um, I Think so I've learned that there's three spheres of life, or whatever you want to call them three pieces of life, okay you can focus all of almost all of your attention on one, some of your attention on another and none, almost none, on a third, and so those are our personal life, our relationship, or ships, relationships and work, and I realized that I might have you know, after such a great shout out to my girlfriend last week, I Almost I feel like and I you know, I'd love to get her feedback on this, but I do feel like my focus wasn't quite on our relationship this week as it has been.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what do you mean, though, by that?
Speaker 1:so I think Kind of like you said, like I tend to think quite a bit pretty deep and I Think that instead of you know, I know, I know some tools and tricks to get present, to get myself out of my own head. I didn't do those Before I would get home, like I don't bring work home, but I bring thoughts home. Hmm, you know what I mean. I'm not thinking about work all the time, or thinking about the podcast, or thinking about this and that more interactions. But I am like thinking about stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, connections maybe like what do you mean? Stuff, what's?
Speaker 1:the stuff I think I think you know. Just to make it simple, like I am thinking about work but it's not like I don't I don't know how to put it like a project or but it does. You're thinking of work for you?
Speaker 2:Maybe like what, what's my next step? And I mean it's survive our brains. If your brains not thinking steps ahead, then your family might have missed some evolution. Yeah, that's, I don't know, because it's, it's a primitive. Yeah, the brain's always. Yeah, how do I find my food? Where do I sleep? Where's fire, where's? Yeah, yeah, that's a good one, but anyway.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, relationship what, like I just didn't do some of the the stuff that I've been doing, you know, like Cleaning, up here and there. Yeah like simple stuff. Oh, yeah, but simple stuff that have a big impact on on a relationship Absolutely you know, and it like so yeah, I really did.
Speaker 1:Just, I reflected on it this morning when I was getting ready and I was like, okay, and to your point, you know it's I. I don't I'm not developing guilt, I'm not developing these like, damn, I could have done better, I should have done better. It was, hey, you know what I didn't do as good as I would have liked, and here's, here's some reasons why boom. And then, so now this week, those are gonna be the things I think of absolutely, and that I can do those things.
Speaker 2:Do you think that's also? You're at that. I think you're at the their phases in this. It's not just you don't just wake up one morning and things have shifted. You know, you got to take initiative, you got to make effort, you got it. It's a daily, but actually you're. You're at a new phase where you know like people will start out with acknowledging the feeling, but then they get to where it's quicker, like you're saying, you didn't even, you didn't even give that energy that you know the time of day, in a sense, to foster. You went Okay, it popped up. You went how's it going? What's up? Okay, I get it. Next time I'll lay out bump, bump, bump and you know, the biggest thing to me is just don't beat yourself up.
Speaker 2:You know that's what like, and that's what we're trying to hopefully help others understand is like it's, don't beat yourself up, like it doesn't win. You know you'll kick your own ass day in, day out and then you'll just wear it out. You know it's, yeah, but what you're saying is Acknowledge it, yeah, yeah, come up with a game plan, maybe even to move forward, and if you don't even fall through with the game plan, come up with a better game plan. Keep coming up with game. Don't beat yourself up because that just wastes time. Yeah, and that puts you in the hole deeper.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, absolutely it is okay. I even man like I get what you're mean and you weren't there for the relationship you felt at that time. But, yeah, it's something that you're not going to get. Yeah, it's. Sometimes we got to be there for us. And it's funny because they say our outside world, the space we live in, is a Projection of our inside, is a projection of where we are internally, mentally, physically, spiritually, all of that. Right, yeah, mine goes up and down. Motherfucker, I don't just have a. If you have a clean house all the time, you're a psychopath. Yeah, in my own opinion, if your house is always squeaky clean, where's the blood specs?
Speaker 1:They did that morning it smells like bleach. Yeah, you know you got it.
Speaker 2:You got to honor yourself in the moments where you it's the four agreements, you know. But you got to honor yourself in the moments where you're you're giving it your hundred, but sometimes that hundred isn't your max. You know like, yeah, hundred percent can shift, just like we do daily.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and yeah it's.
Speaker 2:It's funny the words shift man, that's even energy to like. Oh yeah, shift the energy. Like you, you'd brought up that the coffee bean.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I really liked that analogy. It would you want to share just the coffee bean analogy. You don't have to get the whole three, but just that one of what you kind of as a person, want to be. Yeah, working towards.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's a story out there and I can't remember the guy's name I want to say it's Trent something. But long story short. Like somebody told him, you can be these, this one of three things, and I Right now can't remember the other two. But the takeaway from the story is the one that I remember, which is be a coffee bean. So you put a coffee bean in water and turns it to coffee. So you're changing the environment around you. You're not becoming the environment.
Speaker 2:That's and and.
Speaker 1:I want to say one of them might have been an egg Because, like, if you resist the environment, you become hard to it. Hmm, so there it's really good story and hopefully next, by the next episode where you court out, I could give some direction of where people could find the story, because it's it's, it's important.
Speaker 2:I'd even love to. I it's yeah, it's so good because that is that's, and there's a.
Speaker 1:He has a book. Be be the coffee bean, I think okay, it's called. Yeah, if you want to hear it from the source, read the book.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I have the book myself. You got me intrigued.
Speaker 1:I might have to check it out, yeah it's a good analogy and that's really like what it yeah, it's, we can be Okay. So yeah, there was. The three is like when you're put into the water, you either become hardened to it or you become dissolved.
Speaker 2:Also maybe a sugar cube or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, as I'm like trying to think through this the stories, yeah, and, or it's. You change the water, you change it.
Speaker 2:And we can do that as people. It's funny. We lose sight that we have that liberation, we have that love within that. At any point, we could just you either go into a space and you're like, oh, I don't want to be here, and you bring the space down. In a sense. You go into a space and you dissolve into it. Yeah and that's some. I think that's sometimes dangerous, the most dangerous, like when you just yeah, I mean, what if they're murdering some?
Speaker 2:you'd know and you just dissolve right in and follow, or you go in and Make some coffee. Yeah, change that space, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's good. Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2:How we doing the time wise we 40 minutes.
Speaker 1:I was actually just making sure we're still recording, just cuz you know you never know.
Speaker 2:Never know what have been funny. That would have been pretty good.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, there was a quite a bit of different things. We talked about what's like the the number one, if you know, if we wanted to leave the listeners was something to think about Out of this conversation. What might it be?
Speaker 2:To leave them with? Can I leave them with a little to chew on, maybe I? I'd say that the suppress, repress and escape is something to you know, become aware of. You don't got to beat yourself up on it, but it ties into the transferring and transforming and transmitting of the energies and it's going to really, yeah, you're not going to enjoy it at first. It's not comfy, but that's where growth occurs, and so that would be the biggest is get into that, and when your brain brings up something that you're not so happy about, let's say, just honor it.
Speaker 2:You know, don't focus on the thought. It already your brain already brought it up. You don't want to fight your brain. You're not going to war, so just feel it. You know, turn to your heart, to your soul, and feel it. You know, if it's anger, feel it, ask yourself, and you can talk through this with yourself.
Speaker 2:It sounds weird, but I talk to myself daily. When I feel stuff stern, I breathe. Focus on the breathing and just ask yourself what am I feeling? Always bring it back to the feeling. If you do have a thought, it shouldn't be. Oh, what could I have done better? What could I? You know, how can I fix this. Don't be a fixer of the thought. Just honor it and feel it and ask yourself when it starts to wander back to that feeling. Just always guide yourself back. Yeah, yeah, let's surrender it. No one likes the word surrender, but I do. I choose to surrender. I'm a fucking asshole. I can be man Like I can. I can be one of the meanest people on this planet and I choose to be the kindest. And that's because I surrender to the anger, the mean. And that's not because I'm weak, that's because I'm choosing to spread something other than hate.
Speaker 2:You know, fear and all that. So surrender, guys, over the course of the week, any of those emotions. Somebody cuts you off, somebody flips you off, somebody says, fuck you. Just smile at them and say, if that's what you think, and send them some love yeah, if that's what you can, I like that. What about? What would you leave them with? I mean, yeah, we got to have something so we can come back next week and have a good tie.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So for some reason, as you were saying, what you were just saying, like patterns kept coming up for me is, you know, and maybe we'll touch on this next time. I think it would be really cool to get our the guy that taught us the thought, belief, behavior outcome pattern.
Speaker 2:Mr S, yeah, oh, I think because I don't know if we can tell his name, he probably be okay.
Speaker 1:We said his first name yeah.
Speaker 2:We'll have to ask him. We'll bring him on and introduce. That would be beautiful. It'd be really cool. That would be amazing.
Speaker 1:Oh, anyways, it's a pattern, and so, and what you were just talking about is like yeah, when things happen, we suppress, repress, escape. That could be a pattern that we're used to, and so, for me, learning some pattern interrupts have been pretty game changing and and so what are?
Speaker 2:I'm not? I don't think I've ever heard, is that like the counting backwards one? But what is a pattern interrupt?
Speaker 1:So the one that I've been sharing probably over sharing at work lately, just because it makes people uncomfortable when I love it is like when you start to hear these negative thoughts, so like you brought up a situation, somebody cut you off. A typical thing we say is fuck you or whatever.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:And so, instead of just getting stuck in that, or not even just getting stuck, but while you're saying fuck you to them, just take your your index finger and just stick it in your nose and just say, ah, fuck you. And then you're like, oh wait, I look like a goon, like I'm, I look so stout, that's pretty good. And then it just stops that from like taking you over. You know, it breaks that circuit. That is so funny and so that's a really good one. And like I've used it for even bigger thoughts of like, um, feeling like I I mean, I won't lie to you sometimes throughout the week, and even this morning when I woke up, I'm like, ah, this is, should we really be doing this podcast? Like, what's it going to lead to? Is it going to take off? Is it going to do anything special? Oh man, should we do this podcast?
Speaker 1:And then I was like no the finger up the nose and so like it totally just interrupts that, that pattern. I liked that.
Speaker 2:And then it makes it a joke. It makes it, it makes it a show light. You gotta have humility and being humiliated even by your, I think. Humiliate yourself so much that no one else ever will be able to. That's the simplest way to word it. I.
Speaker 1:I M&Ms like the prime example of that, I think he's, he's pretty good at that. I, but he, he, he, he'll say all the shit that anybody else could say about him before the other person gets, and that's to me it is their weapon.
Speaker 2:Yes, and well, yeah it. It takes their idea of power away, because I, yeah, no one ever has power over me, no one. I sometimes trick myself into thinking that and that's where you know I'm a person I fall short. Yeah, that's why we're here talking, we're sharing. Yeah, we're all growing, but yeah, I, I won't run with that. I liked we were wrapping up. I felt the episode where we I didn't want to keep it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think so. Yeah, unless we don't need to, unless you want to keep going, hey.
Speaker 2:I always could, but I think we'll leave them with this to chew on and come back another time.
Speaker 1:All right, so suppressed, repress escape.
Speaker 2:Patterns and patterns. Yeah, Because pattern that really ties in big time.
Speaker 1:But your main message in that is instead of suppressed, repress, escape, and I'm I'm saying this more to make sure I understand it's feel it, it's surrender Completely.
Speaker 2:Okay, completely, yeah, I mean, and it's, it's not something that happens overnight, just work on it. It's yeah, I mean you have, like we said, hundreds of thousands of people's energy that's been passed to you in a sense. And that's not to be scared of, that's to just acknowledge and go okay, and so it's not something that just you wake up one day and it's better. It's not something that you wake up one day and all of a sudden you've shifted. It's something that you do, you know, constantly, and then eventually it gets to where you're not even aware that you're doing it. And then it gets to where you look back five, 10 years and you go, holy crap, like I totally left that version of me in the dust, like completely there might be slivers of their existence still within me, but I left that in the dust.
Speaker 2:And then I feel, as you do, that you, you really you get a chance to release yourself and liberate yourself, but you get a chance to really help out your ancestors, in a sense, and the people before the friends. I mean, yeah, and it's an honor to do it. It's not something to be scared of, it's not something to be like, oh yeah, it's the easiest, simplest and you'll find, as you do it, this is just derailed a little, but as you do it you'll find that life begins to flow with you. You're no longer battling the currents, there aren't currents, you're just flowing with the stream and you know it gives you that growth and you learn that it's just the flow. The trees don't come back cause they're scared. They come back in the spring cause they know and they're ready and they're loving. So it's kind of how I think of us as people is do the work, do the things that are uncomfortable, and constantly challenge yourself and the patterns. Really find out your patterns, get to know yourself and the way you tick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all energy, baby All energy.
Speaker 1:All right, well, thanks man, thank you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this was fun and if you have questions too, please reach out to myself. Or Clyde I mean, he's got a better area to reach out to. He's more laid out than I am. I just have an Instagram and it's goofy but you can jump on there. Or Facebook. It's Derick Robinson, but crunkle C-R-U-N-C-L-E, underscore Rick R-I-C-K. It's a goofy account but we're in the works of building. That's your Instagram.
Speaker 2:Yeah that's Instagram, but I mean, that was where I was like, yeah, kind of making it was Tom Fulery, ass fucker. Yeah, not really. It's good, I like it, I like it. And then where do we again? What are yours?
Speaker 1:So you can email me at perceptioncoachthenumberone, at gmail or, yeah, just find me on Instagram. Facebook Clyde Young. My Facebook is Clyde Denton Young. I can't remember my actual Instagram account.
Speaker 2:I know there's a one in there. Yeah, I remember it, it might be Clyde Youngone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I can't remember. I have two like that email is pretty sweet, though the perception.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's like where I think if anybody has questions, I need to get an email set up, because that's kind of I'd say that'd be the spot where you could really type up a fucking story. I mean, share your life with us if you're comfortable with it. We are in this alone. We're all here trying to help each other get home.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's actually. It reminds me just real quick. I know we're trying to wrap this up. Me and my cousin had started a Facebook page I won't say the name of it because it's a whole nother thing but we basically were inviting people to ask us for advice. It was kind of interesting because we're like at the time, I think I was 19- and he was like 17, going on 18 and it's like who the hell are we?
Speaker 1:But we're just like, let's just see, and we got quite a bit of people telling us a scenario that they're in and what should we do? I'd love that.
Speaker 1:And what we realized, though, is like people they like asking for help, especially if it's somebody that they don't know Absolutely, there's no connection to. And the other piece to it was like it wasn't face to face, so it was easier to ask Completely, and so I kind of see that as like hey, if there's anything in your life, even a pattern that you're recognizing, that you just need help with hit us up.
Speaker 2:We all need mentors, man. I got at least three right now. We always all need a mentor.
Speaker 1:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Is there a way we could? Is there an anonymous Type chat? I mean that'd be beautiful and I mean I, I understand they're not. Everybody is like kind of I don't. I don't want to find words that are too harsh, but not everybody is at a place where they are comfortable even with their photo being shown or their name. They want no likeness, they just want to say hey, because that's where you know you'll get the most honesty. I think is we, we, what is it? Who you are? What's that saying oh dang it, it's the person you are is when no one is around. So that is something that, like you know yeah.
Speaker 2:So when people don't have to have their name attached or any likeness to them, they would definitely. I feel. At least let's do our homework.
Speaker 1:Don't feel that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll do some homework, but also, in the time being, don't feel that you can't we.
Speaker 1:I have no anonymous yeah.
Speaker 2:We won't say a name, we won't at all. We'll maybe share some situation, but I've got my own crap going on. I don't need, you know, I don't need other people's. You know stuff in a sense. So I'm here to just help through that stuff. I don't want to. You know no likeness to you.
Speaker 1:You come to us and I think, I think a way some other podcasters do it is like when they're getting stories from other people, they just they say call me this.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:See, yeah, if you want yeah absolutely so we could do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because, yeah, I'm a person. I got my crap and eventually, you know, as time goes on, you guys are going to get to know it. I'm vulnerable, I'm not. You know, no arrow can do more damage than my own and I've already undone my quills, so I'm okay.
Speaker 1:Awesome. All right, until next time, yeah, thank you. Thanks everybody for listening. We'll catch you next week.
