1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,320
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:09,759
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged,

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,720
hey zero, And this is vocal d frag. Asking the questions,

5
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:18,000
questioning the answers. The preacher guy today said something pretty interesting.

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,160
Sometimes I wonder if he's reading my notes. But he goes,

7
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:26,160
when you ask questions, you go deeper ooooooooo, he says.

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,280
The inner side of you begins to listen when you

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,359
ask questions. But most people run away from questions. See,

10
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:36,240
that's why we vocal d frag. Actually, I d ffrag

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,719
in two different areas. I have a journal that I

12
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:42,520
keep I've been doing that since November of twenty seventeen,

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,520
and I have this the vocal d frag, which we

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,520
do on a transition walk. A transition walk is walking

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,359
through this beautiful forest. Man, if you could see the

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,719
hills that we climb while just having a conversation, the hills,

17
00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:56,840
the birds are just wild, the trees are taller than

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,759
the sky itself. It's a beautiful place. I can't see

19
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:02,200
the yet, but we will be in just in a

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,239
matter of moments. But it's a very peaceful place to

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,760
take a transition walk, not just to walk a transition walk.

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,640
You understand that there's changes going on in your life

23
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:16,280
at all times, and the majority of us we want

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,959
to ignore those because it means change, challenge, doubt, fear, shame, guilt.

25
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:25,280
Oh my god, So we like to redecorate those things.

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,840
You know, what's the term reimagining, reinventing. Yeah, well, you're

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,599
supposed to be catching up with something, and that's something

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,400
is you. Oh look at this man, it's a lily.

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,239
Oh this is beautiful. Oh my god. I love that.

30
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,239
You find a lot of things when you Oh, oh Jesus,

31
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:47,079
look at the size of that hawk. You find a

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,920
lot of things out in nature that speak with you.

33
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:54,200
It's almost like nature has been waiting for you to

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,519
step out here into your transition. Instead of listening to

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,359
human words, you're picking up on the vibration of the universe.

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,640
Pretty deep. Did I go too fast? Did I go

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:10,199
way too fast? Too early? Yeah? Defragging, asking the questions,

38
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,639
questioning the answers. Do you do anything to help yourself

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,280
out on the inside. I'm just asking if if in

40
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:23,360
those moments that you find yourself in a disconnected state.

41
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,280
Do you ask the questions and question the answers. Are

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,599
you honest enough with yourself to where you can go deeper?

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,719
I like what somebody recently said to me. They go, Man,

44
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,759
I do all my talking in front of the psychotherapist

45
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,879
and a psychologist, and then when you get the bill,

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,800
you go ooh, I'm gonna stop. I'll tell you what.

47
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,479
Other people's questions get easier when you question yourself and

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,120
then you question the answers that you give yourself this

49
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:55,879
way when other people are coming at you, going what

50
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,560
are you doing that for? Oh, I've got an answer

51
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:02,039
for everything that I do, and you know what, you

52
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,719
may not like it, It may not agree with what

53
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:07,639
your current situation is, but there's going to be an

54
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,199
answer because in all things that I do, I plan

55
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,800
it out, I prep it. And maybe that's something that

56
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:18,840
you could try when you are questioning the environment that

57
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:22,439
you're living in. Instead of going deeper and deeper and deeper,

58
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,319
what would happen if you started preparing for a better day.

59
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,960
Don't just wake up, put your shoes on, hit the floor,

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,240
and go out that door. You prepare for it. You

61
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:36,039
kind of have a few expectations or what we learn

62
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,240
in meditation. What are your intentions? We've all got intentions,

63
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:46,400
we just don't talk about them. We all have expectations. Oh,

64
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,919
we'll talk about that, we'll brag about that, we'll enforce that.

65
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,759
But I want to know what is your intention? That's

66
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,719
the question? Now question the answer. Oh, you don't know

67
00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:00,719
how many times I've heard from PEP people say, Oh,

68
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:04,719
that's too hard, that's too much weight to carry around.

69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,800
I can't deal with that. I'd rather be doing this

70
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:12,840
than that. Well, then do it? Do it? What's stopping

71
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:16,040
you from just walking away from what you're complaining about

72
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:18,079
and finding that one thing that you feel that you're

73
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,480
not going to complain about, the one thing that we're

74
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:30,199
all very guilty about our habit of complaining or lame excuses. Lam,

75
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:33,920
Look at me, everybody. I'm going to give you an

76
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,439
excuse as to why this is happening. Why an excuse?

77
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,439
Why not just do it? Get it over with. I

78
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,240
once wrote a song that included these lyrics. The sites

79
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:51,040
we see are only dreams? Is that how we allow

80
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,759
life to happen. We get this vision of what we

81
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,399
would like to do, what we would like to experience,

82
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,199
to turn into a story, to grow into a different area.

83
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,160
And if it doesn't live up to what you want,

84
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:07,439
then all of a sudden, your journey begins to change,

85
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,879
your vision changes, and everything that you wanted to become

86
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,079
sits in a box underneath your bed or tucked away

87
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,000
in the garage. The hardest thing about being in this

88
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,519
present place of now is asking the questions it is.

89
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:28,079
Try it sometime. Just sit down with a pen and

90
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:34,079
paper and ask yourself an honest question. Now go deeper.

91
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,360
Answer the question, and go deeper answer the question. Then

92
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:43,000
go deeper. There are places where you're going to get

93
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:47,000
pretty angry because either somebody got in your way or

94
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,000
you got in the way of yourself, and so you've

95
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,120
got to be able to stand up and walk move

96
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,240
away from where you were. I get it, man, In

97
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,639
this day and age, it is so easy to get

98
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,519
bogged down with the content and expectation of other people.

99
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,279
But I really truly believe that we are feeding ourselves

100
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,319
that content and the expectation of other people. We want

101
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,639
others to guide us, only to bitch about it in

102
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,879
the end. Oh I didn't like the way that they

103
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:19,279
were treating me, then go, then go. If it's going

104
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,600
to create a lame excuse, then go just go, just

105
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,519
get up, or just sit there. But as one man

106
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,000
once said to me, what you see sitting down is

107
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,480
not what you see if you were to stand up.

108
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,879
The conversations that you have while sitting down with those

109
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,439
that are willing to help pick you up for the

110
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:42,639
moment are not going to be the same if you

111
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,560
just stand up and not rely on them to carry

112
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,279
you around. Yeah. I get it, I get it. It's

113
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,399
very difficult to go out and do things on your own.

114
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,839
I get it. But sometimes when you go out there

115
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:59,079
and you give it your all and it doesn't involve

116
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:03,639
the expectations of us people, the payoff might be painful,

117
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,279
but it's priceless because you learn something new tricks, new goals,

118
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:16,879
new ambitions, intentions. I just want to know what questions

119
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,000
are you asking and the answers that you get. How

120
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,319
often do you lie to yourself? Do you do it

121
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,759
a lot? There are many times that I look at

122
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:26,959
myself in the mirror and I say, I don't care

123
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:30,360
how you feel today, buddy, you got to get this done.

124
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,920
I know it's an expectation that needs to be met

125
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,160
or there will be consequences, But put on that plastic

126
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,240
candy coat of bathroom mirror, smile, and let's rock the planet.

127
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:41,920
And if you can't do it, that means you let

128
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:45,920
me down. I don't need for you and your lame

129
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:52,000
excuses to let me down. Have that conversation and then

130
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,839
ask the question, how do you feel about that? Did

131
00:07:56,839 --> 00:07:58,800
it help you grow? Did it open up your eyes

132
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:05,000
your heart? Did it create more conversation? Asking the questions,

133
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:10,160
questioning the answers. D fragging. I know it's a pain

134
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:12,519
in the ass. What if somebody finds my writing? What

135
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,399
if somebody listens to what I put on my digital device?

136
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Oh my god, what if somebody finds out something about me?

137
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:21,680
They're gonna tell them anyway. You're just gonna put it

138
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,199
in your own words, and you're gonna leave us in

139
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,480
a state where we just assume, but in fact, you

140
00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:30,360
could just flat out say it. We're all gonna be okay.

141
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,399
I'm Marylyn And that spook with D fragging
