Truth and Transcendence, brought to you by being Space with Katherine Llewellyn.

00:00:07.693 --> 00:00:24.370
Truth and Transcendence, episode 198, with special guest Brad Smith.

00:00:24.370 --> 00:00:28.536
Brad is here today to talk about deep intuition.

00:00:28.536 --> 00:00:34.490
Brad runs a masterclass for deep intuition development for CEOs and R&D teams.

00:00:34.490 --> 00:00:41.195
He has studied mysticism, intuition and human development for more than 55 years.

00:00:41.195 --> 00:00:52.753
He's been an analytical chemist, a production plant and equipment designer, a business manager, a business consultant and an executive coach for CEOs and business owners.

00:00:52.753 --> 00:01:13.534
So this is an interesting man of many parts And-Ccom.

00:01:13.534 --> 00:01:16.856
So that's where you can find him and that will be in the show notes as well.

00:01:16.856 --> 00:01:19.478
So, brad, thank you so much for coming on the show.

00:01:19.478 --> 00:01:20.700
I'm delighted.

00:01:23.432 --> 00:01:23.894
I'm delighted.

00:01:23.894 --> 00:01:30.677
So you have been interested in deep intuition for some time.

00:01:30.677 --> 00:01:38.260
Are you able?

00:01:40.084 --> 00:01:45.457
to kind of cast your mind back and remember the first time that you realized that intuition was very important.

00:01:45.457 --> 00:01:46.319
Well, my pursuit was not intuition.

00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.161
My pursuit was, if you would, spiritual evolution.

00:01:49.161 --> 00:02:14.302
And so I started doing practices, meditation included, and I realized to answer your question I had been doing those for about seven or maybe eight months and at the same time I was an analytical formulation chemist and in that work I would run into blocks.

00:02:14.302 --> 00:02:15.706
It's like okay, here's a dead end, I don't have the answers.

00:02:15.706 --> 00:02:17.110
On the other side of that chasm, if you would.

00:02:17.110 --> 00:02:20.441
And so I would stop and have to analyze things.

00:02:21.102 --> 00:02:42.810
I was standing in my lab thinking through the things that I had to work through to get to a product I was formulating, and I realized that I could hold six times as much information in my mind at the same time and correlate it than I could seven months earlier.

00:02:42.810 --> 00:02:57.729
That was like a huge aha, because I could literally hold and there's more stories behind that but I could hold six times as much information that I could when I was, you know, linear, analytically thinking about things.

00:02:57.729 --> 00:03:04.246
It would go point A, point B, point C and maybe jump a few steps right, but this time, in the lab.

00:03:04.246 --> 00:03:13.469
I was able to hold the whole experiment in my mind and correlate all the parts that worked and find out the specific puzzle.

00:03:13.469 --> 00:03:22.330
It's like being able to hold a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle in your head and find the four pieces you haven't put together yet.

00:03:24.092 --> 00:03:25.906
Right, and you suddenly were able to do this, and you weren't able to do it put together yet.

00:03:25.906 --> 00:03:29.698
Right, and you suddenly were able to do this, and you weren't able to do it seven months beforehand, right?

00:03:29.698 --> 00:03:30.959
So what?

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:33.144
What happened in between those two times?

00:03:33.425 --> 00:03:35.850
Well, it was like between before and after.

00:03:35.850 --> 00:03:36.812
It's like I worked.

00:03:36.812 --> 00:03:44.024
You know, I did my work right, but it was like one morning I had this realization that I had capabilities that I didn't.

00:03:44.024 --> 00:03:45.768
It was all right.

00:03:45.768 --> 00:04:25.370
Right, I'm going to describe it to people so they know what deep intuition is when you have an epiphany, the brain bounces into a whole system process that when you're doing any QEEG measuring the brain electrical activity we normally have beta for analytical thinking, alpha for daydreaming, theta for the first part of a 90-minute sleep cycle and delta for the deepest part of what our brain operates at in the bottom 30 minutes of a 90-minute sleep cycle.

00:04:25.370 --> 00:04:34.843
And occasionally you'll have gamma, which means the whole brain is active and synchronizing across the whole brain.

00:04:34.843 --> 00:04:44.682
What happens when you have an epiphany is the whole brain kits into gamma and you've got the whole brain working all at once.

00:04:44.682 --> 00:04:48.930
So what that means is you've gotten an information chunk.

00:04:48.930 --> 00:04:53.663
If you would, that correlates all the stuff that you've been working on.

00:04:53.663 --> 00:04:57.752
Whatever problem it is that you get the epiphany about right.

00:04:57.752 --> 00:05:08.427
I had an epiphany that was not a good speaker, so it's like oh, okay, fine, what are we going to do about that, right?

00:05:08.427 --> 00:05:12.951
So in the process of doing that.

00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:15.208
That's what deep intuition feels like.

00:05:15.208 --> 00:05:23.168
Think about every one of you that's listening has had an epiphany of one sort or another to answer a question.

00:05:23.168 --> 00:05:27.483
Maybe it's one you're working on, maybe it's one you've kind of daydreamed a little bit about.

00:05:27.483 --> 00:05:28.305
It's like okay.

00:05:28.305 --> 00:05:30.692
Or maybe it's just an aha about life.

00:05:30.692 --> 00:05:32.141
You've had them.

00:05:32.141 --> 00:05:34.487
That's what deep intuition is.

00:05:34.487 --> 00:05:48.855
Being able to hold that state open on a constant basis and ask for continual feed of information from your subconscious and the collective unconscious is what deep intuition is about.

00:05:48.855 --> 00:05:50.906
I want people to have that.

00:05:51.788 --> 00:05:52.089
Got it.

00:05:52.089 --> 00:05:58.072
So you are describing deep intuition as a state, aren't you?

00:05:58.072 --> 00:06:02.252
Rather than a skill or a faculty or a…?

00:06:02.252 --> 00:06:04.084
It is both.

00:06:04.701 --> 00:06:09.408
It is a state of being, but it's something you can consciously regulate.

00:06:09.910 --> 00:06:17.389
Yeah, okay, but I'm just really struck by the way you're describing it as being different from how people often describe intuition.

00:06:17.389 --> 00:06:30.829
You know, they describe intuition as if it's some sort of talent as opposed to a state, because a state and a talent are not the same thing.

00:06:30.829 --> 00:06:36.552
They might be coexistent, but it's two different ways of looking at the same thing, isn't it?

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.430
Oh, dear Catherine just froze for the last 60 seconds or so.

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:43.848
Okay, well, I'm here now.

00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:45.100
Okay.

00:06:45.463 --> 00:06:46.807
So you didn't hear what I just said.

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:48.646
No, please say it again.

00:06:48.927 --> 00:06:51.017
Okay, cool, so listeners are going to hear it twice.

00:06:51.017 --> 00:06:52.583
Obviously there's an important reason for that.

00:06:52.583 --> 00:07:04.350
So I was saying that often when people talk about intuition, they talk about it as if it's some sort of talent or gift or something.

00:07:04.350 --> 00:07:07.798
People don't tend to speak about it as a state.

00:07:07.798 --> 00:07:10.466
It sounds like you're saying it's both.

00:07:11.723 --> 00:07:12.326
It's both.

00:07:12.326 --> 00:07:13.249
I mean it's a gift.

00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:25.312
Yeah, but you're emphasizing the state aspect of it and the way you're describing it in relationship to these different modes of awakeness or dreaming or whatever we might think of.

00:07:25.312 --> 00:07:31.206
I haven't heard people talk about intuition in exactly that way before, so I find that very interesting.

00:07:31.206 --> 00:07:33.307
So please continue.

00:07:34.401 --> 00:07:36.569
Well, it's been interesting to experience.

00:07:36.569 --> 00:07:40.872
So we have our physical, waking consciousness.

00:07:40.872 --> 00:07:42.807
We run around and we're comfortable.

00:07:42.807 --> 00:08:00.028
By the time you hit your 20s, you're comfortable with it and you have dreaming, which is where your brain remembers a dream state, and then you have higher levels of consciousness above that.

00:08:00.028 --> 00:08:11.334
So, as you meditate, what happens is especially with binaural beat meditation, but it doesn't matter whether you're using mantras or just counting your breath or whatever.

00:08:11.334 --> 00:08:18.233
Over time, what happens is the brain builds neural networks, because we're plastic, right.

00:08:18.233 --> 00:08:19.706
It remolds itself.

00:08:19.706 --> 00:08:28.865
It builds neural networks across the brain so that the whole brain eventually gets to the place where it operates together.

00:08:28.865 --> 00:08:39.128
In addition to that, we have lucid dreaming Okay, well, this is like being.

00:08:39.128 --> 00:08:55.029
Intuition is then a state above lucid dreaming, where you have access to more of the collective unconscious, the collective conscious mind, if you will.

00:08:55.029 --> 00:09:07.890
We have individual physical consciousness, we have the individual subconscious and we have the collective unconscious, as Carl Jung described it.

00:09:08.091 --> 00:09:08.312
Yes.

00:09:08.860 --> 00:09:25.596
And somewhere between normal analytical thinking point A, point B, point C and the way I describe intuition as being able to go to point A, point Q, point Z, whatever and you do that in jumps.

00:09:25.596 --> 00:09:34.090
Well, deep intuition is being able to stand back and be in the whole alphabet all at once.

00:09:34.090 --> 00:09:37.043
Yeah, that is more specific.

00:09:37.505 --> 00:09:38.347
Yes, thank you yes.

00:09:40.961 --> 00:09:49.491
Beyond that, what happens is we evolve eventually to where we are what's called omniscient.

00:09:49.491 --> 00:09:53.789
We know everything to do with Earth.

00:09:53.789 --> 00:09:55.866
That's a really exalted state.

00:09:55.866 --> 00:10:03.852
Buddha had that right and eventually Jesus evolved to that and the other mystics right.

00:10:03.852 --> 00:10:05.767
They eventually got to it.

00:10:05.767 --> 00:10:09.309
But Earth is a school for us to learn those skills.

00:10:09.309 --> 00:10:18.211
All of us have that potential in front of us Now if you've done a lot of the drugs you've burned out the receptor.

00:10:19.660 --> 00:10:20.885
That's why I don't do drugs.

00:10:20.885 --> 00:10:22.725
I heard that I'm going.

00:10:22.725 --> 00:10:27.964
Okay, I'm done Because I want this as a continual state, whether I'm in this body or another.

00:10:28.504 --> 00:10:29.067
Yeah, yeah.

00:10:29.106 --> 00:10:29.307
Yeah.

00:10:29.748 --> 00:10:33.361
Okay, so clearly you're very grounded in this understanding.

00:10:33.361 --> 00:10:36.908
How did, how did you gain this understanding?

00:10:38.890 --> 00:10:39.792
Years of study.

00:10:39.792 --> 00:10:45.169
It's like I wanted to understand what happened to me in the lab.

00:10:45.169 --> 00:10:54.203
What happened to me when I have that kind of altered state, the most expanded I have been.

00:10:54.203 --> 00:11:10.071
Well, I won't describe that, but when you get to a certain place you start having experiences above and outside your physical body and still grounded in your physical body.

00:11:10.071 --> 00:11:14.076
If you've developed that skill, yeah.

00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:18.530
So where did you go when you had this extraordinary experience?

00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.490
Oh, I realized what I had been doing was working.

00:11:22.490 --> 00:11:26.490
That was part of my second epiphany that day.

00:11:26.490 --> 00:11:33.048
It's like, oh look, I can hold the whole experiment in my mind and correlate all the parts that are working right.

00:11:33.309 --> 00:11:33.471
Yeah.

00:11:33.659 --> 00:11:40.587
And then my second thought was oh, what I've been doing works, we're going to keep doing it, yeah.

00:11:43.365 --> 00:11:45.951
So prior to that you've been meditating and doing other things.

00:11:46.780 --> 00:11:49.125
Right Meditation tanaynama.

00:11:49.125 --> 00:11:50.649
People have looked that up.

00:11:50.649 --> 00:11:56.410
So breathing exercises, energy movement exercises and a couple others.

00:11:58.221 --> 00:12:19.596
Do you think that if people follow those sorts of because someone could hear you saying this and think, yeah, but this guy's uniquely talented, you know, I'm never going to connect with all this stuff, right, you know do you think that if people do embark on some of those practices that you just described, that it's an inevitable path to reach that sort of awareness?

00:12:21.163 --> 00:12:24.385
Or you do think that oh, I know it for a fact.

00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:25.904
How do you know it for a?

00:12:25.945 --> 00:12:45.225
fact Because, all right, I'm going to go way down the rabbit hole right now I have memory of about 54 different lives over a 20,000, 40,000 year span Not the whole life, but chunks of them, right, and in that process.

00:12:45.225 --> 00:12:53.750
What I've watched in that process is the evolution of my abilities that showed up this lifetime.

00:12:53.750 --> 00:12:57.442
So if you put a lot of work into it, you get a lot of.

00:12:57.442 --> 00:13:00.654
You can do it in one lifetime but, you don't.

00:13:00.996 --> 00:13:09.394
You know, it doesn't necessarily have to be that way, but whatever you do adds to whatever you've done and it shows up that way.

00:13:09.394 --> 00:13:12.289
So that's one part of the description process.

00:13:12.289 --> 00:13:19.234
As I've studied who I am and what I am like, brad's the beaker right.

00:13:19.234 --> 00:13:24.792
Put things in the beaker and see what happens and experiment with Brad the beaker right.

00:13:24.792 --> 00:13:25.312
I love that.

00:13:25.312 --> 00:13:30.248
Oh, you know, I, I, yeah, it's, it's how I treat myself.

00:13:30.248 --> 00:13:31.029
It's like.

00:13:31.530 --> 00:13:33.914
I like me, I treat myself really well.

00:13:33.914 --> 00:13:40.553
But that's only after years of not treating myself really well, the start of my story.

00:13:40.553 --> 00:13:50.777
A couple of pieces, but one fall term, freshman year at Oregon State, I developed an ulcerated bleeding colon.

00:13:50.777 --> 00:13:56.206
Ouch, okay, got to the doctor and the doctor changed my life in three sentences.

00:13:56.206 --> 00:14:13.057
First one was gee, brad, if you'd have waited to come see me this is to an 18-year-old if you'd have waited to come see me, if you'd have waited six weeks to come see me this is to an 18-year-old if you'd have waited to come see me, if you'd have waited six weeks to come see me, you'd have bled to death.

00:14:13.057 --> 00:14:18.508
Right, he had my attention completely because it hurt all the time and it bled pretty much all the time.

00:14:18.508 --> 00:14:24.427
Okay, then he said you'll never eat strawberries, corn or lettuce or anything with roughage.

00:14:24.427 --> 00:14:28.105
These are things I liked Ever again in your life.

00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:31.890
And my 18-year-old brain said fat chance, buddy, that's not happening.

00:14:31.890 --> 00:14:35.549
And then he said you have a psychosomatic disease.

00:14:35.549 --> 00:14:39.490
Your emotions affect the severity of your symptoms.

00:14:39.490 --> 00:14:44.250
I knew what that word meant and it meant that I had created my disease.

00:14:44.250 --> 00:14:49.986
Knew what that word meant and it meant that I had created my disease.

00:14:49.986 --> 00:14:54.437
And if I had created it unconsciously, then I could figure out how to make it conscious and uncreated.

00:14:54.437 --> 00:14:57.384
So I had a 100% commitment to conquer this sucker.

00:14:57.864 --> 00:15:00.188
It's not if it was just when and how.

00:15:00.188 --> 00:15:05.403
So nine months later, 10 months later, I had the no.

00:15:05.403 --> 00:15:13.245
About six months later I had it down to where the bleeding was not all the time, it was episodic.

00:15:13.245 --> 00:15:19.274
Okay, then the pain was still there, and that took about another three years.

00:15:19.274 --> 00:15:27.354
So four years after the doctor visit, I had the pain settle down to where it was episodic.

00:15:28.921 --> 00:15:30.625
But I was looking for the cause.

00:15:30.625 --> 00:15:34.432
What decisions had I made, even unconsciously?

00:15:34.432 --> 00:15:39.729
What decisions had I made that put my body into that state?

00:15:39.729 --> 00:15:48.731
And so I tracked it back and back, and back and back and back and finally uncovered what I thought was my first spanking at about normal memory.

00:15:48.731 --> 00:15:50.855
At about 11 months old.

00:15:51.981 --> 00:16:06.664
I was walking, I had the lid off the diaper pail, I was playing with the diapers because there was a cool cloud that came off the back end of it right, I mean a really clear memory, the back end of it, right, let me know really clearly.

00:16:06.706 --> 00:16:15.450
And so my poor mom saw that totally freaked out which is very understandable and spanked me and hauled me away from it, washed my hands, put the lid on the diaper pail right and scolded me.

00:16:15.450 --> 00:16:30.264
And I felt at that moment, emotionally, I made the decision that I'd gone from unconditional love from her to conditional love, that I had to be a certain way, and that's what was the core of my disease at 47.

00:16:30.264 --> 00:16:57.692
So 18 was the wake up, and 47, I finally found a hypnotherapist she's a good friend now, but a hypnotherapist that took me back into that, regressed me back to that 11-month-old, one-year state and reworked that memory from an adult perspective rather than a one-year-old's perspective, and within a year all my symptoms were gone permanently.

00:16:57.692 --> 00:16:59.605
Wow, congratulations.

00:16:59.605 --> 00:17:05.852
Well, so if we can conquer that, there is nothing in our life we can't conquer.

00:17:06.272 --> 00:17:18.256
Yeah, so you sound to me like somebody who, when something's got your attention, you're going to grab it and you're going to address it Right.

00:17:18.256 --> 00:17:19.665
Have you always been like that?

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:27.848
Well, no, as near as I can remember.

00:17:32.101 --> 00:17:40.990
Because that's a fantastic asset to have really, because otherwise we can get these epiphanies and these insights but then we sort of moan and whinge about it for another 30 years.

00:17:40.990 --> 00:17:43.420
Well, I don't like being a victim.

00:17:45.324 --> 00:17:52.845
So what this psychosomatic word taught me was I was already in charge, I just didn't know it.

00:17:52.845 --> 00:18:00.633
And so if your life has certain aspects to it that you don't like, you're the one that created it.

00:18:00.633 --> 00:18:02.105
What's the purpose of that?

00:18:02.105 --> 00:18:03.546
So I got deeper into that.

00:18:03.546 --> 00:18:05.968
What's the purpose of our life the way it is?

00:18:05.968 --> 00:18:13.580
Good relationship, bad relationship, good money, bad money, good money, bad money, good world, bad world.

00:18:13.580 --> 00:18:15.965
That's the one we're working on right now right.

00:18:16.247 --> 00:18:22.803
And so you go back into what are the decisions that make that?

00:18:22.803 --> 00:18:41.347
So here's another piece out of my business, woke up in a business, woke up in a business coaching people, and I realized about two years into oh gee, brad, if you don't go, get new clients, you're not going to have a business and you'll have to go back and get a job.

00:18:41.347 --> 00:18:42.672
Do you want to work for somebody else?

00:18:42.672 --> 00:18:44.096
No, I like what I do.

00:18:44.096 --> 00:18:44.598
A lot.

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:47.041
So what are you going to do about that?

00:18:47.041 --> 00:18:49.266
Oh, go get new clients.

00:18:49.266 --> 00:18:50.207
Well, what's that going to mean?

00:18:50.207 --> 00:18:51.710
So what are you going to do about that?

00:18:51.710 --> 00:18:53.932
Oh, go get new clients.

00:18:53.932 --> 00:18:55.134
Well, what's that going to mean?

00:18:55.134 --> 00:19:02.070
Well, the only solution I had at that time was get a list of all the business employers you know big employers in the area and cold call them and, you know, find out who wants to evolve and grow.

00:19:02.070 --> 00:19:05.948
That's not how I put it, it's like who wants to achieve certain goals, right.

00:19:12.299 --> 00:19:24.813
So I did cold calling and one afternoon I was halfway you know, partway through the list, worked from the bottom up to practice, right, and I ran into five people and finally the last guy and I appreciate this from him he just shredded me to death.

00:19:24.813 --> 00:19:28.266
It's like, ow, that was really, really bad.

00:19:28.266 --> 00:19:32.673
I got off the phone, I hung up why does that feel so bad?

00:19:32.673 --> 00:19:41.162
And I realized after you know, put paper up, start writing, coaching myself if you would.

00:19:41.162 --> 00:19:49.031
And what I got to was oh, you're giving everyone you call the permission, the responsibility, of setting my value with me.

00:19:49.031 --> 00:19:53.685
Yes, that is huge, that's from the outside in.

00:19:54.180 --> 00:20:01.112
Well, I'm going to give my parents that responsibility and that's what I gave them when I was, you know, one year old, right, two years old.

00:20:01.112 --> 00:20:08.788
I gave them the responsibility Didn't know that, but I gave them the responsibility of setting my value with myself.

00:20:08.788 --> 00:20:19.402
So if I don't set my value with myself only and I give that responsibility to everybody else, I'm going to continue to have really bad phone calls.

00:20:19.402 --> 00:20:21.425
So it took about a week.

00:20:21.425 --> 00:20:23.711
I changed that.

00:20:23.711 --> 00:20:26.743
I was only giving people the opportunity to work with me.

00:20:26.743 --> 00:20:34.746
I was no longer giving them the responsibility to set my value with myself, and I changed my whole life.

00:20:35.207 --> 00:20:38.361
Yeah, and I'll bet it's much more attractive as a coach as well.

00:20:39.041 --> 00:20:46.784
Well, it meant what I was working on with people was to help them be the power in their lives, not everything else.

00:20:46.784 --> 00:20:49.288
Yes, Fantastic.

00:20:49.308 --> 00:20:51.953
You're very good at the self-adjusting business, Mind you.

00:20:51.953 --> 00:20:53.523
You're looking back now, aren't you?

00:20:53.523 --> 00:20:55.770
I bet it wasn't quite as smooth as it might sound now.

00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:59.305
Well, but that's the intuition.

00:20:59.305 --> 00:21:01.710
Like Brad, here's a trail.

00:21:01.710 --> 00:21:04.153
Follow this sucker right.

00:21:04.153 --> 00:21:06.262
Conquer this disease.

00:21:06.262 --> 00:21:09.167
Well, the disease is my best teacher.

00:21:09.167 --> 00:21:11.571
I know Rav really well now.

00:21:11.571 --> 00:21:14.663
I know my emotions, I know my character.

00:21:14.663 --> 00:21:17.429
I know what works, I know what doesn't work.

00:21:17.429 --> 00:21:19.834
Look everyone here's homework.

00:21:19.834 --> 00:21:24.048
Look at your life and see what works and what doesn't work.

00:21:24.048 --> 00:21:25.551
What are you good at right?

00:21:25.551 --> 00:21:28.124
Well, that's a set of skills you've developed.

00:21:28.124 --> 00:21:29.567
What are you not good at?

00:21:29.567 --> 00:21:31.092
What doesn't work in your life?

00:21:31.092 --> 00:21:36.970
That's a set of skills and decisions you've made to have it be different than what you want.

00:21:38.153 --> 00:21:38.894
Yeah, yeah.

00:21:38.894 --> 00:21:43.682
So it's a complete responsibility for the state of play.

00:21:43.682 --> 00:21:48.086
Adulthood Right, what Adulthood.

00:21:48.165 --> 00:21:49.026
Adulthood, right?

00:21:49.026 --> 00:21:57.330
It's like the whole point of being a human being is to have that wake-up call I'm responsible for everything in my life.

00:21:57.330 --> 00:22:02.595
Well, if I'm not responsible for something in my life, who am I giving that responsibility to?

00:22:02.595 --> 00:22:07.337
Yeah, right, I might share it with my partner, right?

00:22:07.337 --> 00:22:15.487
But it's like, okay, if I'm not sharing it, then I'm irresponsible.

00:22:15.507 --> 00:22:18.273
Yeah right, yeah, fantastic, well, amazing.

00:22:18.273 --> 00:22:25.332
So you've you've done all this work and you brought yourself to this place you're at now, which means you're now a great resource for other people.

00:22:25.332 --> 00:22:41.528
So you sounds like you made some significant shifts after having started doing coaching with people, and you were, you were working with corporate clients, and you're still doing that now yep, I mean, I've got a skill I might as well do.

00:22:41.968 --> 00:22:45.074
I love doing the work yeah, the way I describe it.

00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:59.028
The reason I renamed my company stellar insight is what I do when I work with a client is I listen carefully to what they want and where they're at, and almost always there's a gap.

00:22:59.361 --> 00:23:04.405
And if they're where they're at and it's what they want, then fine, there's no need for coaching.

00:23:04.405 --> 00:23:13.944
But if there's a gap between where they are and what they want, for whatever reason, right, they need a whole string of epiphanies to get there.

00:23:13.944 --> 00:23:34.744
And what I do is I, when I sit down with someone, is I look at them, I look at their character, I listen deeply to how they see themselves, how they feel about themselves and their world, and then I understand the epiphanies they have to go through in order to get to their goal.

00:23:34.744 --> 00:23:55.807
Maybe I don't know them all immediately to articulate them, but I know there's a string of them and my job is to listen deeply enough to them and ask them the right questions so that they get to their epiphanies when they are ready for them, not before, but when they're ready for it, as soon as they can handle them.

00:23:55.807 --> 00:24:03.054
So I get them ready to handle the epiphanies and they start popping and they get to their goal.

00:24:03.054 --> 00:24:07.790
I named my company Stellar Insight, because what I sell is insight.

00:24:08.311 --> 00:24:09.685
Yeah, and why Stellar?

00:24:09.685 --> 00:24:10.213
Because of the is insight.

00:24:10.213 --> 00:24:10.640
Yeah, and why stellar?

00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:17.548
Because of the low stars, ah Right, well, stand back and think about it.

00:24:17.548 --> 00:24:39.603
If there is evolution and I know this for a fact because I've had conversations with them each one of those beings, each one of those stars, each one of the galaxies we see in the night sky is a conscious, designed, active being Human beings.

00:24:39.603 --> 00:24:41.990
We've got 8 billion of us on the planet right now.

00:24:41.990 --> 00:24:50.875
Our eventual goal is to either be a planet or some range of thing between there and here.

00:24:52.881 --> 00:25:01.670
Okay, so are you saying that the Earth is a being, also Yep, and the Sun and the solar system?

00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:13.330
We've had conversations with both and that is very rare and a dear gift, the fact that they would even pay attention to the little rat ant.

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:17.545
So how did that would you describe?

00:25:17.545 --> 00:25:20.893
I mean, that sounds like you've had that experience more than once.

00:25:20.893 --> 00:25:23.808
So what's that experience like?

00:25:23.808 --> 00:25:26.028
Can you describe it to someone?

00:25:26.028 --> 00:25:27.747
Because I haven't had that experience.

00:25:27.747 --> 00:25:33.346
So do you think you might be able to describe it in a way where I can get some sense of it, of what it feels like?

00:25:34.868 --> 00:25:37.433
I had an experience and I've had no.

00:25:37.433 --> 00:25:41.105
I've had two.

00:25:41.105 --> 00:25:41.807
I'll describe.

00:25:41.807 --> 00:26:04.090
Um, one day in meditation, I was sitting down this was 1996, sat down in meditation and this 30-foot angel stands up out of me, out of me right, stands up and looks down at me and says you've forgotten who you are right.

00:26:04.090 --> 00:26:05.564
And it passed.

00:26:05.564 --> 00:26:06.848
And that was that day.

00:26:06.848 --> 00:26:16.186
The next day I sat down in meditation and there's a shift in my consciousness, just like that, right.

00:26:16.186 --> 00:26:25.670
It's like going from not aware to more present, right, and all of a sudden, my body.

00:26:25.670 --> 00:26:26.943
So we identify.

00:26:26.943 --> 00:26:28.103
You know, I identify.

00:26:28.103 --> 00:26:39.153
This is my body, right, my body was the solar system, my body was the solar system and my consciousness was kind of off to the side a little bit.

00:26:39.153 --> 00:26:50.988
But I could look down inside me and all the planets and the sun and recognize that there were conscious, active beings, alive.

00:26:50.988 --> 00:26:56.307
Alive, maybe not physical, but alive on every one of the planets and some of the moons.

00:26:56.307 --> 00:26:59.796
Inside me that's.

00:26:59.796 --> 00:27:01.359
That was like bible in my brain.

00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:05.998
You can't think you weren't where the whole solar system, I was, the whole solar system.

00:27:05.998 --> 00:27:20.588
I could look down and see the planets were inside me, the moons were inside me, all of these live beings were inside me, and the dust in between, the solar dust right, planetary, the solar disk, if you would right, the planetary disk.

00:27:20.588 --> 00:27:25.203
That was all me, right, and that lasted about two minutes and then it went away.

00:27:25.203 --> 00:27:31.766
That was a very exalted state, but I recognized how conscious everything was all the way through.

00:27:31.766 --> 00:27:32.106
Well, that's one.

00:27:32.106 --> 00:27:34.576
That was the very exalted state, but I recognized how conscious everything was all the way through.

00:27:34.576 --> 00:27:34.816
That's one.

00:27:34.816 --> 00:27:37.981
That was the first one, the next one that I had.

00:27:41.165 --> 00:27:49.516
I went to a practitioner that does more now, but she did the planetary reconnection work.

00:27:49.516 --> 00:27:53.060
I haven't heard of that.

00:27:53.060 --> 00:27:57.691
That's where the ley lines are reconstructed, right, okay, and there, and you're hooked back into it.

00:27:57.691 --> 00:28:00.061
Yeah, but she was doing that to me.

00:28:00.061 --> 00:28:09.152
I'm aware of people in the astral plane, the next level up, where ghosts hang out, and then above that, where souls hang out, right.

00:28:09.152 --> 00:28:13.811
I'm aware that, where souls hang out, right, I'm aware of that.

00:28:13.811 --> 00:28:36.190
So I lay down on the table and she turns the lights down just a little bit so it's dimmer, and then starts working on my feet and instantly there's people all around me on the other side working on me and as she works her way up my left side and around me, but the first thing that happens, she puts her hands on my feet and this woman on the other side said, oh goody, it's him.

00:28:37.281 --> 00:28:38.507
I have no idea what that meant.

00:28:38.507 --> 00:28:45.788
And so she's working her way around me, she gets to my head and then she starts down my right side.

00:28:45.788 --> 00:29:07.080
She got about level with my heart on my right side and all of a sudden all of those people went away and it got still and quiet and vast and a star showed up and this Earth showed up.

00:29:07.080 --> 00:29:17.471
And then two other big planets, not from this solar system, showed up and I went through some sort of initiation, if you would.

00:29:17.471 --> 00:29:32.944
I've never heard this described anywhere, but every one of those the sun had a consciousness to it and a personality and a personality, consciousness to it and a personality and a personality.

00:29:32.944 --> 00:29:37.019
Well, all three of the planets kind of like earth was my sponsor and the other two planets were there, but they had personalities.

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:43.894
You know, I'm in the field to who they were, as well as being conscious beings.

00:29:43.894 --> 00:29:45.843
What they did.

00:29:45.843 --> 00:29:49.409
I have no idea, but I got reconnected to the earth apparently.

00:29:49.409 --> 00:29:52.053
So there we are.

00:29:52.053 --> 00:29:54.403
It's funny just before.

00:29:54.544 --> 00:29:55.906
Thank you so much for sharing that.

00:29:55.906 --> 00:30:00.685
Uh, just before you mentioned that, the female voice said oh goody, it's him.

00:30:00.685 --> 00:30:09.587
Just before you said that, I had a thought which was I get the feeling you're quite popular with these various entities, and then suddenly you said that.

00:30:12.030 --> 00:30:15.940
You know, but it's like that's not from being Brad right, no.

00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:24.886
So, of the 54 lives, 10 of them, eight of them I actively remember and two have been alluded to.

00:30:24.886 --> 00:30:36.308
I've had 10 waters as a monk, right, hindu, buddhist, and one as a Catholic monk, which is monk in Spain in the 1600s.

00:30:36.308 --> 00:30:38.126
That was not a fun one, wow.

00:30:38.126 --> 00:30:40.547
I've had to work through a lot of garbage from that one.

00:30:40.547 --> 00:30:47.152
Yeah Right, but it's like what are my two big issues in this life that I've worked through?

00:30:47.152 --> 00:30:54.386
Well, romance is one, because you take a chastity file, right, and the other one is you take a poverty file.

00:30:54.386 --> 00:30:55.789
So what's that about?

00:30:55.789 --> 00:30:58.944
So money and what do I work with?

00:30:58.944 --> 00:31:03.262
I help make people millionaires, and I've got a couple I'm going to help make billionaires.

00:31:03.262 --> 00:31:06.932
So it's like what do you do with them, right?

00:31:06.932 --> 00:31:12.932
It's like you work through my issues and, as a result of that, I get to help other people work through their issues.

00:31:13.380 --> 00:31:14.578
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.589
If you dug out the trench, you know exactly what it's all about.

00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:20.125
Yeah, great.

00:31:20.125 --> 00:31:24.391
Well, you seem very happy as you describe all of this.

00:31:24.391 --> 00:31:28.070
You seem to be really loving it doing all of this, Am I right?

00:31:29.540 --> 00:31:33.845
I'm what I call a compulsive optimist right right.

00:31:34.145 --> 00:31:35.188
it's like it's not.

00:31:35.188 --> 00:31:40.480
If it has a good, I'll jump back, but it's not if it has a good purpose.

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:43.207
It's how long it takes you to figure it out.

00:31:43.207 --> 00:31:48.405
It's like colitis wasn't fun, but it's the best, one of the best things that ever happened to me.

00:31:48.405 --> 00:31:51.212
Yeah, right, I mean, it was really good.

00:31:51.212 --> 00:31:58.469
I picked my dad, who was a chemical engineer with a PhD in biochemistry, because he taught me to think like an engineer.

00:31:58.469 --> 00:32:07.845
If there's a cause, if there's an outcome, there's a cause, right, and if I'm responsible, then I did it.

00:32:07.845 --> 00:32:16.530
If I did it, then I've got control of it, right, and if not, then I've chosen to share that responsibility.

00:32:16.530 --> 00:32:25.367
Well, I've chosen to be part of the human race and I'm sharing the responsibility we all have for making this a better planet.

00:32:26.003 --> 00:32:31.409
Yeah, Amazing, that's my part and my part is to wake people up to what's possible.

00:32:31.409 --> 00:32:39.740
If you can't be omniscient, but you could be a work your way to it, go for deep intuition and be able to hold yourself.

00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:40.463
In the middle of that.

00:32:40.463 --> 00:32:49.606
There's an exercise I do when I was doing my analytical formulation work and I'd have the epiphany.

00:32:49.606 --> 00:33:01.060
I trained myself into using that just awake state, you know, in theta and alpha brainwave level, to pull answers out of the subconscious.

00:33:01.643 --> 00:33:10.667
If I had a problem, I would map out all the stuff that I knew for a fact right in my lab and the part I didn't have.

00:33:10.667 --> 00:33:19.253
And then I would train myself into go, take a 15-minute nap in my office, wake up from the nap and have the answer.

00:33:19.253 --> 00:33:25.942
And I got the answer about 80 to 90 percent of the time when I woke up and if not, it would be a couple more days.

00:33:25.942 --> 00:33:35.146
I would and that's what I did, tra did trained myself into that use the state when you wake up to answer the questions you don't have answers to yet.

00:33:35.146 --> 00:33:45.167
Okay, write it down, talk about it to yourself just before you go to sleep and write down what you get when you wake up.

00:33:45.167 --> 00:33:47.612
Everybody use that.

00:33:48.012 --> 00:33:51.278
We'll be better off I have used that myself.

00:33:51.278 --> 00:33:52.819
It's invaluable.

00:33:52.819 --> 00:33:56.972
It is particularly useful in a situation I can't find the answer.

00:33:56.972 --> 00:34:08.865
So I better just open to being given the answer from elsewhere and accepted and say thank you yeah, thank you, thank you amazing.

00:34:08.925 --> 00:34:10.670
Well, I honestly I could talk to you for hours.

00:34:10.670 --> 00:34:29.181
It's so fascinating, and I also really respect the work's not quite the right word, but the path you've trodden in terms of all the work you've done, all the dedicated exploration and study and practice, on yourself and on behalf of other people.

00:34:29.181 --> 00:34:46.199
I have great respect and gratitude for people who do that kind of thing and I also really appreciate your description of that experience with the planets and the stars, because that's outside of my experience.

00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:50.519
I mean, I have had interesting experiences, but not those interesting experiences.

00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:52.847
I mean there's others, but still.

00:34:53.840 --> 00:35:04.974
I'm sure there are many, many more, but when somebody shares something like that, particularly on something like a podcast, I consider that to be a gift, because it's a slightly risky thing to share.

00:35:04.974 --> 00:35:07.628
You know, there's a lot of people who could think, well, what?

00:35:07.628 --> 00:35:18.927
But actually no, the fact is there are a lot of interesting and unusual and surprising experiences to be had, and let's share those, let's hear people sharing those.

00:35:18.927 --> 00:35:21.085
I think that's part of the way forward for us.

00:35:21.085 --> 00:35:22.550
I really do.

00:35:22.550 --> 00:35:26.242
So I'm just going to switch slightly and talk about leaders.

00:35:26.242 --> 00:35:35.974
Okay, and talk about leaders Okay, and you mentioned one of the things we're working on at the moment is good world, bad world.

00:35:35.974 --> 00:35:37.195
How are we going to?

00:35:37.554 --> 00:35:38.697
do that Well, yeah.

00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:40.811
I describe it this way Go on.

00:35:41.260 --> 00:35:54.815
I describe it this way If Earth is the first kindergarten preschool, most of us are in preschool Kindergarten first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade.

00:35:54.815 --> 00:36:03.842
The standard process on earth is to learn our way through five grades of evolution.

00:36:03.842 --> 00:36:18.333
Okay, I'll describe it this way for the people that are Christians or at least have gotten close to the Bible Jesus, when he went through the crucifixion, went through the fourth level.

00:36:18.333 --> 00:36:22.202
He graduated from the fourth grade, from the fourth grade.

00:36:22.202 --> 00:36:25.032
Okay, that was the graduation process.

00:36:25.032 --> 00:36:29.864
You can dig into it deeper and I can describe that to other people, but not on this.

00:36:30.605 --> 00:36:37.034
The fifth grade that he demonstrated for us was the conscious resurrection.

00:36:37.034 --> 00:36:42.764
Conscious resurrection of his physical body.

00:36:42.764 --> 00:36:53.592
Okay, what that means is when you've gone through the top level on this earth, right, you can consciously recreate a physical body.

00:36:53.592 --> 00:37:08.831
Think about that All the molecules, all the systems, the brain, the nervous system, all the different organs consciously recreated, right?

00:37:08.831 --> 00:37:13.947
So if we can do that, what would we be able to give other people?

00:37:13.947 --> 00:37:21.367
Right, you have to love yourself a lot and not identify with the physical body, but identify with your consciousness.

00:37:21.367 --> 00:37:24.860
That's the goal for all of us on earth.

00:37:24.860 --> 00:37:33.153
So as we grow and evolve, we're going to learn as a population how to conquer.

00:37:33.153 --> 00:37:38.592
First you have to have ethics Good, bad, indifferent.

00:37:38.592 --> 00:37:50.713
And if you haven't gotten to the place where you can know consciously you're truthful all the time, then you're not ready to do that work.

00:37:50.713 --> 00:37:54.447
When was the last time you told a white lie?

00:37:54.447 --> 00:37:57.586
Check into that right.

00:37:59.900 --> 00:38:24.983
Well, I think you might have answered the question I was about to ask you, which was about I like to think that there are a lot of people who are either in leadership positions or who are simply trying to be leaders in their own lives including me who are trying to be part of the solution, you know, trying to be helpful, um, in in the best, in the best way.

00:38:24.983 --> 00:38:38.481
They know how right and I think there are these people all over the planet and I was going to say to you is is there something you'd like to say, particularly to those people, because some of them are listening to this podcast?

00:38:40.065 --> 00:38:40.364
okay.

00:38:40.364 --> 00:38:43.532
So there's a lot of things you can do to become a better leader.

00:38:44.293 --> 00:39:00.152
One of them is just call me and talk to me, but yes, call brand listening listening with your whole being, not just listen with part of your brain when you're listening and thinking about what you're going to say in response.

00:39:00.152 --> 00:39:05.891
Listen with your full attention to whoever is talking.

00:39:05.891 --> 00:39:10.471
Then ask appropriate questions to draw them out further.

00:39:10.471 --> 00:39:17.605
So if we share that wisdom between us and insight between us, then we get better.

00:39:17.605 --> 00:39:19.090
That's a good leader.

00:39:19.090 --> 00:39:29.867
Okay, a good leader uses all the brains in the room and it's been described as like if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

00:39:29.867 --> 00:39:31.570
That's a quote from somebody.

00:39:32.132 --> 00:39:32.972
I like that quote.

00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:33.659
Right.

00:39:33.659 --> 00:39:40.210
If you're the smartest person in the room, go get a different room right.

00:39:40.210 --> 00:39:47.384
Hire people that are smarter than you, that in maybe specific areas, but hire them.

00:39:47.384 --> 00:39:50.351
Delegate the thinking beyond your own brain.

00:39:50.351 --> 00:39:57.554
That's what I would have as leaders Listen, ask questions and inspire.

00:39:57.554 --> 00:40:00.483
The job of a manager is to tell people.

00:40:00.483 --> 00:40:05.333
The job of a leader is to inspire them and draw them out.

00:40:05.333 --> 00:40:10.409
Make it a safe place for people to share their best.

00:40:10.409 --> 00:40:12.793
That's leading.

00:40:12.793 --> 00:40:14.400
Thank you.

00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:15.304
I cannot disagree with that.

00:40:15.304 --> 00:40:15.644
That's brilliant.

00:40:15.664 --> 00:40:16.588
