1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,759 --> 00:00:07,679
yes to creativity totally and kad because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,800
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: Heye zero, and this is vocal d frag. We're not

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,239
on the path yet out there on that transition walk.

6
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:21,079
A transition walk is understanding and studying the transitions that

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,079
we each go through on a daily basis. Your mindset,

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,559
your mood swings, your happiness, your depression, your questions in life.

9
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:30,879
That's what a DFRAG is. It gives you an opportunity

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,399
to be with the universe. Now, the subject today is

11
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:35,719
going to be pretty heavy. I'm not out there yet,

12
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:37,119
but we will be. I got to get my God

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,000
on first. I've got to study the Word of God

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,719
and then we'll get out there. But this is what

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,280
came to me at seven fifty five this morning. What

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,320
are we in this moment is nothing more than space taken.

17
00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:52,600
It seems dark and totally misplaced until you reach others.

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,200
That's what was put on my page this morning, and

19
00:00:56,759 --> 00:00:59,399
it's like, wow, I need to really dive deep into

20
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:02,399
that thought. What are we in this moment is nothing

21
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:05,799
more than space taken. It seems dark and totally misplaced

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,079
until you reach others.

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: Now.

24
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: At nine to twelve this morning, I return to the

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,079
pages inside this journal. This is my d frag journal.

26
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,879
D fragging is asking questions and questioning answers.

27
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: And I put in there.

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,879
Speaker 2: It allows you to question your personal atmosphere. What are

29
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:24,480
you doing right now? That is valuable to the constantly

30
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:28,599
building story. What the author was asking is a simple question,

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,439
what are we but nothing? It's not dark unless you

32
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,280
aren't reaching others in a time where it's the art

33
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:42,640
of being Wow. Okay, we're going to talk about this

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,560
out on the path today. Let me get my church

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,000
on and we'll talk about this when we get on

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,400
the path. Right, all right, we're out on the path

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,959
inside this forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina. What we

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:02,719
are is space taken. God sounds I'm so negative, and

39
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:09,240
yet it's empowering. What we are is space taken. I

40
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,000
think it was given to me because what we are

41
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:18,800
is an opportunity to make a difference, to step through,

42
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,039
to become part of, to develop a relationship.

43
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: And to weed off what is weighing us down.

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,479
Speaker 2: Vocal d fragging gives us the opportunity to ask the

45
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,560
questions and question the answers. And while in church, I

46
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,280
was questioning myself a lot.

47
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: Why would I.

48
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: Even think about doing a subject that is based on

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,479
where we are and what we are is space Caken.

50
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,800
Every day I am with creative people, and I'm with

51
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,360
everyday people who don't realize they're creative people. And I

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,599
hear people say I don't have a purpose, I don't

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,719
have a VI and I don't have a dream. I'm

54
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:06,520
just here. Why did you come here? Are you wasted space?

55
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,240
I would like to ask them that question because I

56
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,759
think that there is a deeper revelation there to get

57
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,919
them to ignite what it is that they want to do,

58
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:20,400
because we're not.

59
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: Supposed to be just walking through life.

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: I am not just walking through this forest in South Charlotte,

61
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,319
North Carolina. I don't know if you can hear these

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,479
beautiful birds that are creating this amazing jazz above me.

63
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:37,240
I don't know if you can feel the nice, warm,

64
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:40,680
seventy four degree temperature that is out here with Jazzy

65
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:43,800
and I. But it's not going to be wasted space.

66
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:50,000
Nothing in this forest is wasted space. And you learn

67
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,240
from things like that, you learn that everything around you

68
00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:00,000
has a story, it has a purpose. And that's the question.

69
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:05,240
Where do you fit in? How do you fit in?

70
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:10,159
If you think of yourself as being you know, I

71
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,039
just got here because I just needed someplace to be.

72
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:17,639
That's not the true story. You were searching for something,

73
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,279
you needed something. Was it acceptance? Was it to be

74
00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:25,040
with community? But you don't want to admit to it,

75
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:29,800
or you don't realize what it is that you are seeking.

76
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,000
But you go to a certain place and you go here,

77
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,360
it is, well, what is it? I don't know? I

78
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:40,079
don't know. Come on, you know someone like that, right?

79
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,079
And that someone might be the image in your bathroom mirror.

80
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,439
But where we are and what we are is taking

81
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:54,360
up space. What are you going to do with your space?

82
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,439
Do you think it's easy for me to sit down

83
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:01,519
and host as many podcasts as I do a lot

84
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,800
of people don't know my true story, my testimony.

85
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: I just wanted to reach people.

86
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,759
Speaker 2: That's all I ever wanted to do in my forty

87
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,800
three years of broadcasting, to reach people, not to read

88
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,680
liner cards, not to sit there and promote a radio

89
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,800
station giving away money to one person while nine hundred

90
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,920
and ninety nine thousand losers sat on the other end

91
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:26,079
going huh, I guess I'm just a loser taking up space.

92
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,600
Those who play the lottery, what are they really trying

93
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,279
to do? So many of them say I just want

94
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:35,839
to win. How much do you want to win? I

95
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:38,240
don't want to win at all. I just want to

96
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,480
win something. We're taking up space. You're filling up the

97
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:47,240
space that you have with ambitions that you may never reach.

98
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,480
So the question is what are you reaching for? Is

99
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:58,759
it physically achievable? Is it going to be a difficult walk. Yeah,

100
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,360
nothing's going to be handed it to you. There's no

101
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,439
such thing as overnight success. So in the space that

102
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,399
you are taking up, what is it that you would

103
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,360
like to accomplish? What would you like to feel, what

104
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,240
would you like to celebrate? What would you like to

105
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,480
set aside? Oh god, that's a big one. My wife

106
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:24,560
and I are on this journey right now. We're doing

107
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:28,079
the Swedish death cleaning. The Swedish death cleaning is we're

108
00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:32,000
asking members of our family, if we pass today, would

109
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:35,879
you want this? And if the answer is no, you

110
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,360
get rid of it. We are so into the Swedish

111
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,120
death cleaning that we have it on our Google calendar,

112
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,920
what day we're doing it and what time we're doing it.

113
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:49,120
The reason being is because we're trying to take up

114
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:53,240
our space and whittle it down to not take it

115
00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:54,279
up too much space.

116
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: But you've got to be able to do that mentally, spiritually,

117
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,000
and physically as well.

118
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: You've got it aside. How much space do you really

119
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,920
require and what are you going to do with it?

120
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:09,199
Are you involved with the community. Would you like to

121
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,879
be involved with those that are in need or you

122
00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:15,319
know it doesn't even have to go there. Would you

123
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,560
like to be involved with people who are involved with

124
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:21,560
other people, who are involved with other people, and the

125
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,040
outreach is that a victory doesn't have to be searching

126
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,839
for somebody who's always in need. I learned that lesson

127
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,920
a man of homelessness. I was giving him something. He

128
00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:36,279
looked at me and said, I don't need that. I

129
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:40,079
don't need it. I'm happy where I am. I am

130
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:45,399
here by choice, I'm off the grid. I'm living the

131
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:49,120
life that I always wanted to live, and it's not

132
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:52,000
with the weight of someone telling me what to do.

133
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,519
So I don't want to receive what it is that

134
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,399
you're trying to give change my life. I assume, I

135
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:06,480
assume that anybody of homelessness was always in need, and

136
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,480
that's not true. That's not true at all. They are

137
00:08:10,759 --> 00:08:13,600
where they want to be. They're in their own space.

138
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,480
So on, d frag, I'm asking you the question, why

139
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:23,319
aren't you doing what you want to do and the

140
00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:26,199
process of developing what it is that you think that

141
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,720
you need. How much space do you require? And in

142
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,879
that space does it involve other people or is it

143
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,159
a self taught journey? Because I want to tell you

144
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,960
right now, there's a lot of people out there that

145
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,559
are willing to teach you, but more than often it

146
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:49,440
is us, us, you and me. We're the ones that decide.

147
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:53,279
I can do this on my own. I believe, deep

148
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,879
inside my heart that's where most of us are when

149
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:58,519
it comes to our personal emotions. I can do this

150
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,679
on my own. This is my space, this is my time.

151
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,440
I don't need anybody else on the sidelines. I've got this.

152
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,200
What are you wearing on your face today? What expression?

153
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,120
Is it a frown? Is it a candy coate of

154
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,279
plastic bathroom mere smile? Is it true happiness? Is it

155
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,879
a resting bitchface? What is it that you're holding on

156
00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:29,399
to that. We can see in your eyes. Body language

157
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,799
tells this martial artist, the third degree black belt, what

158
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:34,960
the potential of your next step is going to be.

159
00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:41,159
I find great pleasure in being in big crowds because

160
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:45,360
my imagination is fed. Where are they when it comes

161
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,879
to my personal zones? The same is true about your emotions.

162
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,960
Where are you that will infect other people's personal zones?

163
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: Where you are what you are?

164
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: It is in a space, and are you taking up

165
00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:06,240
too much space in that place?

166
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: Now?

167
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of materialistic friends who feel they

168
00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:14,200
don't have enough. I get that. I like having a lot.

169
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:18,559
That's a good feeling until the day you do a

170
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:23,000
Swedish death cleaning and you realize all those things you

171
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,600
thought you had to have have not been touched, looked at,

172
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,879
or even been a part of your everyday process for

173
00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:36,720
months and or years. This week, we're going underneath my house.

174
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:40,200
Our house is built over a hill. Our crawl space

175
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,600
is not a crawl space. It could be a living

176
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,639
quarters for somebody. It's twelve feet high. There's a lot

177
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,279
of stuff down there that I haven't been a part

178
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:56,039
of for thirty frickin years. It's been sitting down there

179
00:10:56,519 --> 00:11:02,799
taking up space where you are. What you are is

180
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:08,559
taking up space, and it is, but it's going away

181
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,320
this week during our Swedish death cleaning. Do I know

182
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,759
what it is? No, it's in bags bags. There are

183
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:21,559
two doll houses down there that my daughter had when

184
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,000
she was a child. I asked her, if I die today,

185
00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:27,639
would you want them?

186
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, please.

187
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,639
Speaker 2: I totally forgot that that was a part of my childhood. See,

188
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,639
you have a lot of valuable things in your life,

189
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,360
but is it valuable to others? I think the same

190
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:44,240
is true with the words that you share, the thoughts

191
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:47,519
that you set free. Is that you've got a lot

192
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,799
of space that's been taken up and you feel like

193
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,200
there's no room for anymore.

194
00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: And I got to.

195
00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:00,799
Speaker 2: Ask you why. Asking the questions, questioning the answers is

196
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,799
called vocal defragging. If your computer was all screwed up

197
00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:07,200
and moving kind of slow, the first thing you would

198
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,159
do is get in there and clean up the junk.

199
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,039
But we don't do that with our mind, body.

200
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:12,159
Speaker 3: And soul.

201
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,519
Speaker 2: We just happen to show up every day and wander

202
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,960
through a world where we're taking up space.

203
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: I've struggled with this all day.

204
00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: I did not want to talk about it because it

205
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:28,279
seems so ugly and so cruel to say, Hey, you're

206
00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:33,679
taking up space and your space is screwing up my space,

207
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:37,720
So what do you want to do about it? Ask questions,

208
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,679
question The answers get to know why, when, where, how,

209
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:49,919
Listen to your innercore, build up a relationship with that

210
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:54,159
self you are, and do a mental sweetish death cleaning.

211
00:12:55,039 --> 00:12:57,080
The physical one is pretty emotional. I'm going to tell

212
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,679
you that right now. We first jumped into it during

213
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,519
the lock down in twenty twenty. That was the first level.

214
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,600
That means we got rid of the stuff that we

215
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:09,600
really didn't need. Well, we're now at the level where

216
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:12,399
it's getting personal. There's going to be some stuff that's

217
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,759
going to go to that dump that is still very

218
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,559
very powerful in my mind, body and soul, but it's

219
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:24,279
got to go because nobody beyond me wants it.

220
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,759
Speaker 3: Who I'm taking up too much space?

221
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: Admitting it is the first step of a brand new beginning.

222
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,399
Speaker 3: I'm Eryl and that's vocal d freg
