Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged,
hey zero, And this is vocal d frag. Asking the questions,
questioning the answers. The preacher guy today said something pretty interesting.
Sometimes I wonder if he's reading my notes. But he goes,
when you ask questions, you go deeper ooooooooo, he says.
The inner side of you begins to listen when you
ask questions. But most people run away from questions. See,
that's why we vocal d frag. Actually, I d ffrag
in two different areas. I have a journal that I
keep I've been doing that since November of twenty seventeen,
and I have this the vocal d frag, which we
do on a transition walk. A transition walk is walking
through this beautiful forest. Man, if you could see the
hills that we climb while just having a conversation, the hills,
the birds are just wild, the trees are taller than
the sky itself. It's a beautiful place. I can't see
the yet, but we will be in just in a
matter of moments. But it's a very peaceful place to
take a transition walk, not just to walk a transition walk.
You understand that there's changes going on in your life
at all times, and the majority of us we want
to ignore those because it means change, challenge, doubt, fear, shame, guilt.
Oh my god, So we like to redecorate those things.
You know, what's the term reimagining, reinventing. Yeah, well, you're
supposed to be catching up with something, and that's something
is you. Oh look at this man, it's a lily.
Oh this is beautiful. Oh my god. I love that.
You find a lot of things when you Oh, oh Jesus,
look at the size of that hawk. You find a
lot of things out in nature that speak with you.
It's almost like nature has been waiting for you to
step out here into your transition. Instead of listening to
human words, you're picking up on the vibration of the universe.
Pretty deep. Did I go too fast? Did I go
way too fast? Too early? Yeah? Defragging, asking the questions,
questioning the answers. Do you do anything to help yourself
out on the inside. I'm just asking if if in
those moments that you find yourself in a disconnected state.
Do you ask the questions and question the answers. Are
you honest enough with yourself to where you can go deeper?
I like what somebody recently said to me. They go, Man,
I do all my talking in front of the psychotherapist
and a psychologist, and then when you get the bill,
you go ooh, I'm gonna stop. I'll tell you what.
Other people's questions get easier when you question yourself and
then you question the answers that you give yourself this
way when other people are coming at you, going what
are you doing that for? Oh, I've got an answer
for everything that I do, and you know what, you
may not like it, It may not agree with what
your current situation is, but there's going to be an
answer because in all things that I do, I plan
it out, I prep it. And maybe that's something that
you could try when you are questioning the environment that
you're living in. Instead of going deeper and deeper and deeper,
what would happen if you started preparing for a better day.
Don't just wake up, put your shoes on, hit the floor,
and go out that door. You prepare for it. You
kind of have a few expectations or what we learn
in meditation. What are your intentions? We've all got intentions,
we just don't talk about them. We all have expectations. Oh,
we'll talk about that, we'll brag about that, we'll enforce that.
But I want to know what is your intention? That's
the question? Now question the answer. Oh, you don't know
how many times I've heard from PEP people say, Oh,
that's too hard, that's too much weight to carry around.
I can't deal with that. I'd rather be doing this
than that. Well, then do it? Do it? What's stopping
you from just walking away from what you're complaining about
and finding that one thing that you feel that you're
not going to complain about, the one thing that we're
all very guilty about our habit of complaining or lame excuses. Lam,
Look at me, everybody. I'm going to give you an
excuse as to why this is happening. Why an excuse?
Why not just do it? Get it over with. I
once wrote a song that included these lyrics. The sites
we see are only dreams? Is that how we allow
life to happen. We get this vision of what we
would like to do, what we would like to experience,
to turn into a story, to grow into a different area.
And if it doesn't live up to what you want,
then all of a sudden, your journey begins to change,
your vision changes, and everything that you wanted to become
sits in a box underneath your bed or tucked away
in the garage. The hardest thing about being in this
present place of now is asking the questions it is.
Try it sometime. Just sit down with a pen and
paper and ask yourself an honest question. Now go deeper.
Answer the question, and go deeper answer the question. Then
go deeper. There are places where you're going to get
pretty angry because either somebody got in your way or
you got in the way of yourself, and so you've
got to be able to stand up and walk move
away from where you were. I get it, man, In
this day and age, it is so easy to get
bogged down with the content and expectation of other people.
But I really truly believe that we are feeding ourselves
that content and the expectation of other people. We want
others to guide us, only to bitch about it in
the end. Oh I didn't like the way that they
were treating me, then go, then go. If it's going
to create a lame excuse, then go just go, just
get up, or just sit there. But as one man
once said to me, what you see sitting down is
not what you see if you were to stand up.
The conversations that you have while sitting down with those
that are willing to help pick you up for the
moment are not going to be the same if you
just stand up and not rely on them to carry
you around. Yeah. I get it, I get it. It's
very difficult to go out and do things on your own.
I get it. But sometimes when you go out there
and you give it your all and it doesn't involve
the expectations of us people, the payoff might be painful,
but it's priceless because you learn something new tricks, new goals,
new ambitions, intentions. I just want to know what questions
are you asking and the answers that you get. How
often do you lie to yourself? Do you do it
a lot? There are many times that I look at
myself in the mirror and I say, I don't care
how you feel today, buddy, you got to get this done.
I know it's an expectation that needs to be met
or there will be consequences, But put on that plastic
candy coat of bathroom mirror, smile, and let's rock the planet.
And if you can't do it, that means you let
me down. I don't need for you and your lame
excuses to let me down. Have that conversation and then
ask the question, how do you feel about that? Did
it help you grow? Did it open up your eyes
your heart? Did it create more conversation? Asking the questions,
questioning the answers. D fragging. I know it's a pain
in the ass. What if somebody finds my writing? What
if somebody listens to what I put on my digital device?
Oh my god, what if somebody finds out something about me?
They're gonna tell them anyway. You're just gonna put it
in your own words, and you're gonna leave us in
a state where we just assume, but in fact, you
could just flat out say it. We're all gonna be okay.
I'm Marylyn And that spook with D fragging
