Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity totally and kad because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Speaker 2: Heye zero, and this is vocal d frag. We're not
on the path yet out there on that transition walk.
A transition walk is understanding and studying the transitions that
we each go through on a daily basis. Your mindset,
your mood swings, your happiness, your depression, your questions in life.
That's what a DFRAG is. It gives you an opportunity
to be with the universe. Now, the subject today is
going to be pretty heavy. I'm not out there yet,
but we will be. I got to get my God
on first. I've got to study the Word of God
and then we'll get out there. But this is what
came to me at seven fifty five this morning. What
are we in this moment is nothing more than space taken.
It seems dark and totally misplaced until you reach others.
That's what was put on my page this morning, and
it's like, wow, I need to really dive deep into
that thought. What are we in this moment is nothing
more than space taken. It seems dark and totally misplaced
until you reach others.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: At nine to twelve this morning, I return to the
pages inside this journal. This is my d frag journal.
D fragging is asking questions and questioning answers.
Speaker 3: And I put in there.
Speaker 2: It allows you to question your personal atmosphere. What are
you doing right now? That is valuable to the constantly
building story. What the author was asking is a simple question,
what are we but nothing? It's not dark unless you
aren't reaching others in a time where it's the art
of being Wow. Okay, we're going to talk about this
out on the path today. Let me get my church
on and we'll talk about this when we get on
the path. Right, all right, we're out on the path
inside this forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina. What we
are is space taken. God sounds I'm so negative, and
yet it's empowering. What we are is space taken. I
think it was given to me because what we are
is an opportunity to make a difference, to step through,
to become part of, to develop a relationship.
Speaker 3: And to weed off what is weighing us down.
Speaker 2: Vocal d fragging gives us the opportunity to ask the
questions and question the answers. And while in church, I
was questioning myself a lot.
Speaker 3: Why would I.
Speaker 2: Even think about doing a subject that is based on
where we are and what we are is space Caken.
Every day I am with creative people, and I'm with
everyday people who don't realize they're creative people. And I
hear people say I don't have a purpose, I don't
have a VI and I don't have a dream. I'm
just here. Why did you come here? Are you wasted space?
I would like to ask them that question because I
think that there is a deeper revelation there to get
them to ignite what it is that they want to do,
because we're not.
Speaker 3: Supposed to be just walking through life.
Speaker 2: I am not just walking through this forest in South Charlotte,
North Carolina. I don't know if you can hear these
beautiful birds that are creating this amazing jazz above me.
I don't know if you can feel the nice, warm,
seventy four degree temperature that is out here with Jazzy
and I. But it's not going to be wasted space.
Nothing in this forest is wasted space. And you learn
from things like that, you learn that everything around you
has a story, it has a purpose. And that's the question.
Where do you fit in? How do you fit in?
If you think of yourself as being you know, I
just got here because I just needed someplace to be.
That's not the true story. You were searching for something,
you needed something. Was it acceptance? Was it to be
with community? But you don't want to admit to it,
or you don't realize what it is that you are seeking.
But you go to a certain place and you go here,
it is, well, what is it? I don't know? I
don't know. Come on, you know someone like that, right?
And that someone might be the image in your bathroom mirror.
But where we are and what we are is taking
up space. What are you going to do with your space?
Do you think it's easy for me to sit down
and host as many podcasts as I do a lot
of people don't know my true story, my testimony.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to reach people.
Speaker 2: That's all I ever wanted to do in my forty
three years of broadcasting, to reach people, not to read
liner cards, not to sit there and promote a radio
station giving away money to one person while nine hundred
and ninety nine thousand losers sat on the other end
going huh, I guess I'm just a loser taking up space.
Those who play the lottery, what are they really trying
to do? So many of them say I just want
to win. How much do you want to win? I
don't want to win at all. I just want to
win something. We're taking up space. You're filling up the
space that you have with ambitions that you may never reach.
So the question is what are you reaching for? Is
it physically achievable? Is it going to be a difficult walk. Yeah,
nothing's going to be handed it to you. There's no
such thing as overnight success. So in the space that
you are taking up, what is it that you would
like to accomplish? What would you like to feel, what
would you like to celebrate? What would you like to
set aside? Oh god, that's a big one. My wife
and I are on this journey right now. We're doing
the Swedish death cleaning. The Swedish death cleaning is we're
asking members of our family, if we pass today, would
you want this? And if the answer is no, you
get rid of it. We are so into the Swedish
death cleaning that we have it on our Google calendar,
what day we're doing it and what time we're doing it.
The reason being is because we're trying to take up
our space and whittle it down to not take it
up too much space.
Speaker 3: But you've got to be able to do that mentally, spiritually,
and physically as well.
Speaker 2: You've got it aside. How much space do you really
require and what are you going to do with it?
Are you involved with the community. Would you like to
be involved with those that are in need or you
know it doesn't even have to go there. Would you
like to be involved with people who are involved with
other people, who are involved with other people, and the
outreach is that a victory doesn't have to be searching
for somebody who's always in need. I learned that lesson
a man of homelessness. I was giving him something. He
looked at me and said, I don't need that. I
don't need it. I'm happy where I am. I am
here by choice, I'm off the grid. I'm living the
life that I always wanted to live, and it's not
with the weight of someone telling me what to do.
So I don't want to receive what it is that
you're trying to give change my life. I assume, I
assume that anybody of homelessness was always in need, and
that's not true. That's not true at all. They are
where they want to be. They're in their own space.
So on, d frag, I'm asking you the question, why
aren't you doing what you want to do and the
process of developing what it is that you think that
you need. How much space do you require? And in
that space does it involve other people or is it
a self taught journey? Because I want to tell you
right now, there's a lot of people out there that
are willing to teach you, but more than often it
is us, us, you and me. We're the ones that decide.
I can do this on my own. I believe, deep
inside my heart that's where most of us are when
it comes to our personal emotions. I can do this
on my own. This is my space, this is my time.
I don't need anybody else on the sidelines. I've got this.
What are you wearing on your face today? What expression?
Is it a frown? Is it a candy coate of
plastic bathroom mere smile? Is it true happiness? Is it
a resting bitchface? What is it that you're holding on
to that. We can see in your eyes. Body language
tells this martial artist, the third degree black belt, what
the potential of your next step is going to be.
I find great pleasure in being in big crowds because
my imagination is fed. Where are they when it comes
to my personal zones? The same is true about your emotions.
Where are you that will infect other people's personal zones?
Speaker 3: Where you are what you are?
Speaker 2: It is in a space, and are you taking up
too much space in that place?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of materialistic friends who feel they
don't have enough. I get that. I like having a lot.
That's a good feeling until the day you do a
Swedish death cleaning and you realize all those things you
thought you had to have have not been touched, looked at,
or even been a part of your everyday process for
months and or years. This week, we're going underneath my house.
Our house is built over a hill. Our crawl space
is not a crawl space. It could be a living
quarters for somebody. It's twelve feet high. There's a lot
of stuff down there that I haven't been a part
of for thirty frickin years. It's been sitting down there
taking up space where you are. What you are is
taking up space, and it is, but it's going away
this week during our Swedish death cleaning. Do I know
what it is? No, it's in bags bags. There are
two doll houses down there that my daughter had when
she was a child. I asked her, if I die today,
would you want them?
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, please.
Speaker 2: I totally forgot that that was a part of my childhood. See,
you have a lot of valuable things in your life,
but is it valuable to others? I think the same
is true with the words that you share, the thoughts
that you set free. Is that you've got a lot
of space that's been taken up and you feel like
there's no room for anymore.
Speaker 3: And I got to.
Speaker 2: Ask you why. Asking the questions, questioning the answers is
called vocal defragging. If your computer was all screwed up
and moving kind of slow, the first thing you would
do is get in there and clean up the junk.
But we don't do that with our mind, body.
Speaker 3: And soul.
Speaker 2: We just happen to show up every day and wander
through a world where we're taking up space.
Speaker 3: I've struggled with this all day.
Speaker 2: I did not want to talk about it because it
seems so ugly and so cruel to say, Hey, you're
taking up space and your space is screwing up my space,
So what do you want to do about it? Ask questions,
question The answers get to know why, when, where, how,
Listen to your innercore, build up a relationship with that
self you are, and do a mental sweetish death cleaning.
The physical one is pretty emotional. I'm going to tell
you that right now. We first jumped into it during
the lock down in twenty twenty. That was the first level.
That means we got rid of the stuff that we
really didn't need. Well, we're now at the level where
it's getting personal. There's going to be some stuff that's
going to go to that dump that is still very
very powerful in my mind, body and soul, but it's
got to go because nobody beyond me wants it.
Speaker 3: Who I'm taking up too much space?
Speaker 2: Admitting it is the first step of a brand new beginning.
Speaker 3: I'm Eryl and that's vocal d freg
