The Pathway To Your Results
Understanding The Metaphysics of Prayer
Can the act of prayer transcend cultural boundaries, or is it forever rooted in individual beliefs? Join us on an enlightening exploration as we challenge the traditional definitions of prayer and God, delving into how these concepts morph and adapt across different cultures and languages. Through compelling inquiries, we aim to uncover whether a universal mode of prayer exists or if it remains inherently personal and diverse. This journey seeks to bridge the gaps between various interpretations and practices, offering a more inclusive understanding of spirituality.
Once you see what you actually are, that you're an infinite, limitless being, you'll see that nothing exists outside of you. I'm your host, derek Grant, and this is the Pathway to your Results podcast. Register now at dgmindsetcom for DG MindFest October 18th through the 20th in Indianapolis, indiana. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Pathway to Results podcast. It is your boy, dg. Wait, did I say that? Right, it's presented by DG Mindset and DG is here. There you go, you got it. Let me just go ahead and drop this on you real quick. Okay, dg Mindfest is coming. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and say this I probably should have promoted this a little earlier, but I just wanted to wait until it was done. Okay, dg Mindfest is October 18th through the 20th. It's a live event you get in Friday.
Speaker 1:That evening I'm going to have an extended power hour where I'm going to break down human laws, universal laws, manifestation, all of that stuff. We're going to lay the groundwork from the way the system works. We're going to have dinner together that night. Dinner will be served. You'll love it. We haven't picked the menu exactly yet, but it's going to be something scrumptious. As we used to say, saturday, we get up in the morning nine o'clock. We're going through healing modules, healing modalities, how to heal, what healing is, energy, metaphysics. That whole day we're going through. We'll eat lunch there. Everything's going to be served while you're there.
Speaker 1:Then the next morning and people always ask me will you have merchandise? Yes, merchandise will be there. We'll have a little pop-up shop where you can buy Life is Mental apparel. You'll also be able to purchase my book that's coming out, my book that I've been working on here for a while. That will be out On that Sunday. I'm going to have those who purchased the book. I'm going to have a book signing, a book signing. That Sunday You'll be able to get your copy of the book. But here's my point that book doesn't come out to the public for another two and a half weeks three weeks actually, coming to DG Mindfest. You are going to get a hard copy in your hand first.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm not going to tell you what the book is yet. I will tell you here as we get closer. But it will be a book that will change the trajectory of your life. I will guarantee it. But that's all. I just wanted to tell you that.
Speaker 1:So this episode, this is something. This is the Sagittarius in me. I've been fascinated. I want to know how. I want to know. What do I have to do? What is it? Okay, prayer, prayer, prayer. What is prayer? Okay, what is prayer? And you know, I have not. I have not yet, but I will do it right now. Right, let's do it right now.
Speaker 1:I'm going to type this word in here and we're going to get it in real time. Um, let's see what this, what this, what this? Uh, okay, so the word prayer comes from, uh, earnest request, earnest request. Right, it's the old, this is the etymology of it. Right, the practice, or communing with God. Right, the practice or communing with God. Right, so stay with me here because I'm going to tie a lot of loose ends in your life. Right, so we always get told to pray. Right, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray.
Speaker 1:So first we get told to pray to God, first I got to before I can do that, otherwise there'll be abstract concepts. I got to ask myself what is God and I got to ask myself what is prayer. I got to come to an understanding of prayer and I got to come to an understanding of God. Otherwise it's just an abstract concept. Okay, when I tell you to jerk or yank the tail, right. He was like what does that mean? What does it mean to yank the tail? Well, first I need to know what it means to yank, and I need to know what a tail is right. And in order for this to be universal, that means it would have to transcend whatever or wherever it was learned, so I need to learn. I can't learn what prayer is, I can't learn what God is, and it's confined to a book. If it's confined to a book, it will only be for those who subscribe to it. We're talking on a universal plane, right?
Speaker 1:So the first question that I asked myself I wanted to know and understand how this works it was what is prayer and what am I praying to? Is what I'm praying to the same thing that he's praying to? Because what he's praying to in his prayer looks completely different than mine. Is there a right way or is there a wrong way? If there's a wrong way and a right way, that means there's separation. If there's separation, that means that there's his version and then there's my version. Why is it? His version looks different in that side of the world and my version looks like different in this side of the world? These are all questions I started to ask.
Speaker 1:So I started to ask myself the next question Common logic, reasoning, right? This is the way the human mind would work. I would say, okay, if I'm praying in English to God, if I were to switch it up then and pray in Spanish to God, would God understand the Spanish prayer and the English prayer? Okay, so these are the questions that I would ask. Right, I would ask these in my mind. I would never talk about these out loud, I would just ask these questions.
Speaker 1:So I'm over here praying in English, but then somebody over in Mexico is praying to God in Spanish, but then when I go to Turkey and I'm in Istanbul, they're praying to Allah and they do it multiple times a day and you can hear the mosques. I can literally hear everything. The prayer is going off and I'm like how come it looks different? Why does it look different? And if I'm doing it differently, are we still playing the same thing? We can look at basketball. Basketball has different rules, minor rules here and there within the world. We have FIBA rules, we have the NBA rules, but for the most part, the game of basketball is still the same. It's still dribble the ball, no double dribble, no travel, put the ball in the hoop.
Speaker 1:But then you start to see that across the world there's all of these different modalities and methodologies of what, of how to pray and what prayer is, but then, more importantly, who they're actually praying to. So I started to ask myself, okay, importantly, who they're actually praying to. So I started to ask myself, okay, how like are we just talking about the same thing and we use, we get caught up in the semantics? Well, then we personify and then it becomes completely a whole different thing. Or there's actually all of these different gods that are creating everything. So you got like Allah. He's like yo, I got these people over here. And then like God's like yo, no, I got these people over here. And then Brahman's like I will take these people over here. Like how, like this is the way my mind would work. It's like yo. How does this work? Because I know when human beings now, when there's multiple people that are involved in things, inevitably it ends up being how it benefits those other people. So I was like yo.
Speaker 1:So I asked my mom this question one day. We were sitting talking. I said I just saw some thing in Peru, where they just found an un I forget what the word they used, but it was a civilization that had never had contact with the outside world, and they saw them on the banks of a river that was flowing through Peru and they were like this is the first time ever that it's ever been documented, ever. So I asked her I'm like now, these people because my mom talks about God. Right, mom, I know you're listening to this right now, I know you're going to hear it, but we had this open conversation in my garage. I was like yo, so is this? How does this work?
Speaker 1:Those people don't know who Jesus is and they can't pray to Jesus and accept Jesus in their heart. So now, do they not get access to heaven? Do they not have the same abilities or do they not have access to the Holy Spirit? And I was asking these questions because I genuinely wanted to know, because I'm trying to figure out how to do this thing that we call prayer and pray to God and all this stuff. And she's like, well, she didn't know what to say. She's like, well, I don't know, I've never thought about that. Okay, well, I'm going to think about it, because I'm a Sagittarius. I'm going to think about it.
Speaker 1:So I'm sitting here racking my mind, racking my mind, racking my mind. So I started to ask myself wait a minute, in order for this to be as powerful as it is, okay, it would have to be universal. It would have to be universal. It would have to be universal, because if it's not universal, it's really not that powerful. And I say powerful in air quotes, right, if it doesn't apply to every soul, then that means it's not as powerful as what we've been taught that it is. So I said what is universal? And we say that, the attributes of it? It's omnipresent, it's omnipotent, it's omniscient, it's all knowing, it's all good, it's everywhere all the time. Right, I'm just looking at it from the Western perspective. I said, wait, what is it? What is it? What is one thing? This is like a riddle that I'm trying to like, I was trying to solve. What is one thing that is everywhere all the time? Is there anything? Is there anything that is everywhere all the time? Anything, now, I've always been, you know, a science and math guy, right? I wanted to know.
Speaker 1:Well, I started to study science, started to study, really study Science was always my favorite class growing up, but I really started to study science. I started to study really study. Science was always my favorite class growing up, but I really started to study. I started to understand thermodynamics. I started to study and understand the generative and radiative properties of energy and electromagnetism and how it actually works. I started to realize, good God, almighty, there is one thing that is constant everywhere in this universe, all the time, and it's this thing that we refer to as energy, or sometimes we call it. We refer to it in another form, what we call light. Okay, cool, all right, that's a breadcrumb. That's another tunnel that I can go down. It's a rabbit hole. But now I got to figure out if energy is omnipresent, it's everywhere. I need to understand the properties of energy, but in order to do that, I have to take off my spiritual hat. I got to take off my religious hat and I have to go into the world of science.
Speaker 1:So I started to study the properties of energy. What is it? Energy carries information. It carries information. It's everywhere, all the time. When you start understanding energy, it's quantumly entangled, right? This is another part of physics, that's the quantum side of the unseen side, the subatomic side. But I started to realize, like, wait, hold on. It carries information. If it carries information, that means all of the information is encoded in this thing that we call energy. That's number one. Number two it's omnipresent. It's everywhere all the time. Okay, cool. Number three energy through thermodynamics. Right, it can neither be created nor destroyed. It can neither be created nor destroyed and it carries information. And it's everywhere all the time.
Speaker 1:Well, golly, this is starting to sound like a lot of the attributes of what we were told, that we were referred to as God. So I started to ask myself I'm like, wait, hold on man. Wait, this isn't man, hold on, let me learn more, a little bit more. I got to learn more about energy. I got to learn more about energy. I got to learn more about light, right, so energy is the movement of light. I got to learn more about light, right, so energy is the movement of light. I got to learn more about what it like. What is this? What is this? So, naturally, naturally, I start to move towards the religious side, right, and I'm pulling something up right now so you can, so I can read it to you and I don't want to butcher it. You start to see how much, how much.
Speaker 1:Everything, everything was telling you this in like sacred text right, everything carries light. Sorry, light is everything. Everything is comprised of subatomic particles, photons of light. Everything is light. Light creates energy, energy, carries information. Light is everything. Everything is comprised of subatomic particles, photons of light. Everything is light. Light creates energy, energy, carries information.
Speaker 1:So I started to realize, when people have near-death experiences, when people have near-death experiences, what do they say? I saw a light. I saw a light. I saw a light. Stay with me here, because we're going to get back to what the main premise of this is. I started to say okay, what are these attributes of light? What is it? Nothing can go faster than the speed of light in this physical reality. Okay, I think we're getting somewhere now. These are all questions I would think out loud. Then one day it hit me In order for me to talk to this I don't want to call it this entity, this being that we've been told what God is in order to do that, I'm going to have to first speak its language.
Speaker 1:I'm going to have to speak its language. Right, I'm going to have to speak its language. Okay, because here's the deal. I'm going to have to speak its language. Okay, because here's the deal, I'm going to go ahead and say some stuff, and it's going to put some of us on pins and needles, but this is just my perspective. Right? This is the way my mind works. I'm not saying that it's right, I'm not saying that it's wrong. All I'm saying is, in order for us to say something, made something, we first have to understand what that something was, and then we can better understand what that something is. Or you can understand what that something is and come in through the back door to understand what that thing was.
Speaker 1:But here's what we'll do we will take something that has been told to us, misinterpret it, misinterpret it and then form our own narrative around it, and then we completely missed it. Right? I can say this because I've been on both sides. I've been in it, I've been out of it, I was inside the yard, I went outside the yard, and I know I'm speaking in abstract terms right now, but the key to me and from my perspective, in being able to quote unquote pray to God, is to first understand what God was.
Speaker 1:When I understand what God is and that it cannot be comprehended, it can only be experienced. It cannot be read in a book, it cannot be heard in a sermon. It cannot be done through these abstract concepts. It can only be experienced. This is why, if you look back at ancient Judaism, ancient Kabbalism, you were not allowed to even say it because it could not be articulated. It could only be experienced. The moment that you say the flower is beautiful, you've actually just dumbed down the flower. The moment that you sit here and try to articulate something, you have just lowered its vibration. The moment that you try to encapsulate it in words, you have just limited its infinite nature of what it actually was, words. You have just limited its infinite nature of what it actually was.
Speaker 1:So I had to step outside of this paradigm, this belief system, this perspective that I had been molded to see, and I stepped outside of it so I could see it from a more universal perspective. So I went and studied Hinduism. I went and studied Buddhism. I went and studied Islam. I went back and studied Kabbalism. I went and studied Judaism. I went and studied the esoteric teaching, the Essenes, this side of Christianity. I went and studied all of these things because I wanted to see are we all talking about the same thing? And that same thing that we're talking about, what is that? And if I can find that I can better understand that and when I understand that, I can start to speak the language of it. And when I can start to speak the language of it, now we can start to pray. But in order to do that, I was going to have to step outside the box, and this is what's scary. This is what's scary.
Speaker 1:Sometimes You're in your house and you think this is all that exists, this is all that I think that exists. And then you leave your house. You're like, wow, there's a street. And now you think your street is all that exists. And then you leave your street and go into the neighborhood. You're like, wow, there's all their houses here, oh my God. And then you slowly start branching out, branching out, branching out. You start to expand your awareness. You start to see wait a minute, there's more than what I was led to believe and what I was told. So here's my point If we start to understand the language of energy, we can start to understand how we can communicate with whatever name. Fill it in you want, because this is the only thing that is universal. Words are not universal. Go and try to learn the English language. When I say to you don't know which one I'm talking about. Am I talking about T-O? Am I talking about T-W-O? Am I talking about T-O-O?
Speaker 1:Words are man-made. Words are man-made. Words are man-made because spirit needs something to program the soul. Spirit needed something to program the mind, so, which is why we use words. This is why man created words. There's a lot of arguments. There's a lot of heinous acts that are committed because people misinterpret words. There's a lot of arguments. There's a lot of heinous acts that are committed because people misinterpret words. We can look at what's going on right now. Wars will literally be started because of the interpretation of words.
Speaker 1:Words were created by man. If it was created by man, it was created by the ego. If it was created by the ego, chances are it will only benefit that which who has created, and we see this. What's happening in our world? What did James Brown say? This is a man's world. Yeah, look at the pay scale. Look at women. Women don't get paid like they should. Women don't get treated like they should. Let me go to the sports world. Look at WNBA. These girls oh man, wow, they're on TV. These girls still ain't getting nothing close to what these men should be getting. What these men get and what they should be getting. Why? Because man created the system, so man created the system. Man's going to create the system to benefit man. You see how this works.
Speaker 1:So when you start looking at, maybe, life from this universal perspective, now you can start learning how to pray. Because here's what I used to do. I went through the toughest time of my life, the hardest time of my life, good God, almighty. I used to be out there every night in the middle of the night, looking up, looking up at the sky, looking, because that's where I thought God was right. Looking up, praying, saying God, please, please, god, please deliver me, god, please deliver me, god, please deliver me. Well, I'd be out there praying, but I'll be. Hey, I was out there praying, air quotes. So I thought.
Speaker 1:But then I started to understand that prayer was intention. Right, prayer was intention. Prayer was intention. Prayer was what you intended, what you intended in I am. That means it was already inside of you. It was the intention. Prayer was what you intended, what you intended in I-N. That means it was already inside of you. It was the intention. And then the intention was where I put my attention. That was outside. But if, whatever I was on my heart, my heart was where the intentions lied right. So my intentions were what I needed to take care of care of. That's what was going to be manifested through my prayers.
Speaker 1:So when I went back and read and I go back and read the Bible and you read these ancient texts and Jesus was telling his disciples how to pray, what to pray, when to pray you start realizing that in order for us to have this conversation, we're going to have to have it on a universal level. Meaning I can't use words. It's about energy, because I ask myself if I pray out loud, like because some people at church pray out loud and some people pray in their mind, they don't. So what is it? So I'm not using words, I'm not speaking. How does God know this? How does God know this? Then? How does this thing know this If we're not even talking words? Right now? He's quiet. I'm sitting here whispering to myself is this entity, is God picking up? These are the questions that I would ask. So then I said oh, wait, hold on now. In order for it to pick it up, to pick up the order, that means it was going to have to speak the energy of emotions, it was going to have to speak the energy of energy. It was going to have to speak the energy of feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings. Because feelings were the soul communicating to the body. See, the spirit, the spirit. The spirit communicated to the soul through words. But then the words, the soul communicate to the body through feelings, emotions, emotions, emotions.
Speaker 1:What is the Latin word of emotion? What does that mean? I'm going to just look this up real quick, because I don't. You know my memory. I got the memory of a fish right, right, so my memory. I got the. I got the memory of a fish right, right? So E? I just put it in French. I don't want it in French, guys, stay with me.
Speaker 1:Emotions, etymology. You go and look it up, right? The French comes from the French word émouvir, which means to stir up. Okay, or you can look at it from another right Latin is imuvere, which means to agitate, motion, energy in motion, energy in motion, energy in motion, energy in motion. So my emotions are actually how I'm communicating on a universal level.
Speaker 1:So if I want to pray, I have to put emotions behind it. Emotions, I can't just give lip service, I can't just say I actually you, to put your full emotion into it, not for what you don't want, it was for what you wanted. So if I'm praying for someone who is sick, I'm not praying saying please heal them, please heal them. That means I'm actually acknowledging that they're not healed. Instead, I would have to speak the language of energy, and energy only exists in the present moment. So therefore, my energy must be in the present state. I must speak from a place of energetically already being. That meaning I'm already living through the space that they are healed. They are already healed. I'm not even acknowledging that they're not. I'm carrying the vibration. The emotion of this person is already healed and we're just using this as an example. With healing, it can be with anything.
Speaker 1:So when you go back to the text, when Jesus said in Mark 11, 24, whatever ye asked for in prayer, believe that you have already received it. Well, what are beliefs? Beliefs happen in your subconscious. Where does your subconscious take place? Inside of your heart. Where's your heart? It's your intentions. So now we're speaking the language of this universe. We're able to communicate to God, source creator. Whatever you refer to as the universe, you're able to communicate the way it communicates.
Speaker 1:So this is why I keep telling you to act like it, because when you act like it, you are carrying out your life as a prayer instead of having to quote unquote pray. You have just become intentional with your life. When you act like it, remember, we can substitute the word Y'all about to make me start getting going. We about to go to church right now. Go ahead and take out your Bible, take out your pen and paper if you need to. When we start looking at it from the perspective of my, prayers are nothing more than me being intentional with my mind, intentional with my actions.
Speaker 1:So, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have already received it, meaning whatever you believe sorry whatever you intend for in your life, believe that you already got it. Walk like you already got it. Talk like you already got it. Walk out on that water. You see why you told Peter to walk out on that water? Because in order to do that, you would have to exercise one intent, but two. You're walking out on the water, like you know. You're going to walk out on that water, but nobody had ever walked on the water before. How are we going to do this? How am I going to? He took that first step. And what happened? What does the story say? What is the metaphor, what is the analogy? He walked until he experienced fear and doubt, because every time that you experience fear and doubt, you're not actually walking as if it was already done. Do you see how this works? There's story after story after story after story.
Speaker 1:Disciples asked him hey, how do you remove the demons out of the demon-possessed boy? How do you remove the demons out of the demon-possessed boy? What do we have to do? Can you do it? He looked at him and said please, what are you talking? Can I do this? Why y'all, even y'all perverted minds, are asking me can I do this? You too could do this If you carried yourself like you could, meaning, if you believe. What do you say? You too could do the same If you had, if you had, faith.
Speaker 1:Faith was the belief that something positive was going to come from it, meaning, I'm walking as if it's already going to come. I ain't worried about not walking in faith. What are you talking about? Well, how are we going to get there? I'm not worried about how we're going to get there. I'm walking as if it's already done. And guess what? When it shows itself, I'll tell you exactly how I did it. So what did he do? He went out and did it and he told them. He literally told them you all can do the same things. You can do the same things. And they did, they did. They did all the same things. Go ahead and heal that leper. Go ahead and raise that man from the dead, you see, so you start to read these things.
Speaker 1:And when you understand the science though because this is why I keep trying to tell you science, spirituality and religion are not separate. They're not separate. Each one of them is part of the trinity. They're each needed. I can understand the Father through the Son. I can understand the Son through the Holy Spirit, and vice versa. I can come all the way back. I can understand religion through spirituality. I can understand spirituality through science and come all the way back. They are all intertwined together, but what we'll do is we'll negate one, we'll negate one and say, no, I don't want to hear nothing about this, I don't hear nothing about that. That don't fit within this box. I don't want to hear nothing about it. And now, guess what? We just lost the ability to have access to information that would have expanded our awareness for us to better to understand. And now we don't have to understand anymore. Y'all stop playing.
Speaker 1:So when I started to understand how prayer is an energetic game good God almighty, y'all stay with me it was less about what I was saying and more about how I was feeling, and more about what I was doing and how I was acting, because that was what was going to create in my physical life. So I can sit here and pray, say God, please help him, please help. Or I could walk around and say I ain't even going to acknowledge your sickness right now. I'm not even going to acknowledge it. I don't walk in that vibration, I'm not even going to acknowledge it. I know you want me to say oh my gosh, are you okay? I'm not even going to do it. I'm going to treat you just as if you healed. And I ask you for permission. I ask you for permission that I may be able to send you that same energy that I may be able to treat you as if you were already healed. I just ask that you receive that. And here's what's going to end up happening. Good God Almighty, if he's walking around sick and I'm asking for him to receive my prayer, meaning receive my intention that he's already healed.
Speaker 1:What's going to happen is on an energetic level. There's something that we call energy entrainment. Energy entrainment you know what it is. You've been around somebody and you can feel their energy. You can feel them. You don't even need to say nothing, you can just feel it. Oh, get away from me. Energy entrainment is a real thing.
Speaker 1:So by now, me asking hey, will you receive my prayer, will you receive my intention for me as already seeing you as healed, I'm just going to act as if you already healed. I'm going to talk as if you don't have a terminal illness. I'm going to talk as if you ain't even on bed rest. I'm going to talk as if you haven't got the dough. I'm just going to treat you like a regular dude. Is that okay? Yeah, that's fine, because I'm carrying this frequency.
Speaker 1:What's going to end up happening through this thing called energy entrainment? I will slowly start to raise his vibration, and now guess what ends up happening. He's going to slowly start to shift the way he sees himself. He's going to start to slowly shift the way he talks to himself. He's going to slowly shift his perspective around this illness that he may have. And now guess what ended up happening. He's walking out on that water, he's healing the blind man, he's bringing the dead back to life. The dead back to life. He is acting as if he has already received it.
Speaker 1:I don't think a lot of us really understand what that means. We don't understand what it means to act like we've already received it. Do you hear that? Ed? At the end of receive, that means it's already here, not that it's on the way, it's already here. I already got it. I already got. It's literally in my hand. That's the energy. That is the energy that we have been told to walk in, because that is the only way to pray.
Speaker 1:You sit here and keep praying for things to be ain't nothing going to be. You had to pray as if they were. When you pray as if they were and you walk around and you act like it, if you do it right, they ain't going to like you. They're not going to like you. So now we can look at the deeper metaphor of why Jesus was being lambasted and ridiculed from the Romans. Huh, because they knew the power. They knew the power of this individual who's walking as if. He's walking as if.
Speaker 1:If you walk as if, you become a threat to the establishment. I'm not saying this as nothing like oh the man, oh the man. No, I'm telling you Because the matrix, the establishment, is set up for you to walk in fear. Because if you walk in fear Now, you can be used. And if you can be used, I can use you to build what I'm trying to do. Do you see how this works? What happens when you walk as if? What if you were to walk as if? Hold on, now, y'all, stop playing, I'm about to go. What would happen if you walked as if I walked, as if I stepped out on the water?
Speaker 1:I approached every situation as if good God Almighty was going to change. I approached every situation with the perspective of it ain't got no choice but to work out for me. Every day that I woke up, I took every step of my day in the energy as if it was already donezo. It was a done deal. I'm just waiting for life to catch up. If I walked inside of that energy, because some of us right now, we're going to go back to the good book, we're going to go back to the Bible and say, yeah, but gee, okay, I'm telling you then do exactly what Jesus is saying Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that he received it.
Speaker 1:So don't be questioning how am I going to get to DG MindFest? How am I going to sign for a retreat? How am I going to get this new job? That's not you walking as if it's done. Instead, ask yourself a different question how am I going to act when I show up and I see everybody from the DG Mindset community in person? How am I going to act when I get that new job and that first pay stub comes in on that Friday at 12.01 and I feel good because I know I ain't got to go back and see that boss anymore? Start asking yourself those questions. You see. This is why I keep trying to tell you. The quality of your questions will be directly correlated to the quality of your life.
Speaker 1:I ask questions based on as if it's already done. There's times when my team thinks I'm crazy. There's times that my wife thinks I'm crazy at times. Ain't that right? She said yeah. My point of this is this I know that there's no other way. There is no other way for me to get to where I need to go and where I can go and what I can do, unless I act as if, unless I walked out on that water, unless I believe that I have already received it. When I believe that I have already received it, when I believe that I have already received it, guess what I ain't got to receive it because I already have it. Good God, almighty, go ahead and don't at me on that one.
Speaker 1:We like to pick and choose. We like to pick and choose when we like to go into the book or go into religion. And I'm telling you, if you just take it for what it's telling you, in some facets it's telling you what you had to do, and it's speaking in terms of metaphor. The only reason why we're speaking in metaphor is so it would apply to everybody. We're personifying it because otherwise, if I don't personify it, guess what you're gonna do? You're gonna take it literally, and now that you took it literal, you just made it your own. And now that you made it your own, it's not universal. And when it's not universal, you done dumbed it down, and now it doesn't have the power that it had. So I'm trying to tell you how to pray. Right, right, the secret was the feeling. Right, the secret was the feeling. The secret was the feeling. Stay with me here. I'm going to show you how to do this right.
Speaker 1:If you're driving, go ahead and pull over real quick, or wait till you get home. Go and close your eyes real quick. You can close your eyes, you don't have to, but I prefer to close my eyes if I need to. The reason why is because when your eyes are open, you're in the physical plane, but when we close our eyes, we can move to the mental plane, which has quicker access to the spiritual plane. And then also, too, it's a little easier for us to regulate our emotions when our eyes are closed.
Speaker 1:But we go ahead and close our eyes and we think about what it is that we want, where it is that we want to go. What are we looking for? What is the intention? Figure out what the intention is. Figure out what the intention is, because now we're going to speak the universal language of energy. We're going to put some energy in motion, right?
Speaker 1:So, whatever your intention was, let's say I want to make more money. I want to make more money. I just want more money so I can have freedom, so I can move and shake however I want. I want more money so I can have freedom. Okay, let's speak the energy language. Then you don't want the physical thing. It's not the physical thing behind your intention, it is not the physical thing. It will be the emotion that you will feel when you get the physical thing. This is how you pray, you all, this is how we do this. So now that, if I know I want more money, money represents freedom for me. So now what I'm going to do is start to speak the language so that God, source, the creator of the universe, the subconscious mind, the universal mind, the universal consciousness, it may pick up my order, because now I'm speaking its language.
Speaker 1:I'm going to sit here and feel through my imagination, through emotionalizing this energy of freedom. So this is electromagnetism. This is how science works, right. Electric is my intention, with my head. Right, I'm going to say consciously what it is I want. I want to experience freedom, and then I'm going to feel freedom in my body, in my heart. What would that feel like? Start to feel that excitement, start to feel that gratitude, start to feel that joy. See, when I put and said consciously what it was, I sent a ripple out in space and time from my head. That is the electric Magnetic means. It comes back through my heart space. That's what the emotion does. It creates a gravity, well, and pulls it back.
Speaker 1:So now, as I'm sitting here and emotionalizing what it would feel like to be free oh my gosh, how would it feel. Give yourself full permission to feel in your body, you start to smile, something that helps me. As I raise my eyebrows, I start to literally carry out whatever that energy is. I want to feel what freedom feels like. And then I'm telling myself this is what it feels like when I've earned more money. This is exactly what it feels like. So now, what we've just done is you've just felt what it felt like from the beginning, at the end, from the beginning, right, the alpha and the omega. You are here at the beginning of your journey, feeling what it would feel like at the end. You have just connected the two. They have just become one. You have just brought the non-physical into physical reality by feeling it. So pretty, quite simple, right, pretty, quite simple, pretty easy, simple.
Speaker 1:So now, as you become more intentional with your life, your life will be an act of prayer, just like meditation. Meditation was supposed to become an active part. Like I am in a meditative state, I'm aware, I'm mindful. You see, it was to become a way of being. So now your whole walk, your whole journey, your whole rest of your experience is prayerful. You are literally the epitome of prayer. You're walking as if you don't acknowledge things as being negative. You look at them and say this is for me in some way, shape or form, because I know that everything is for me. So now life is happening for you. You see, that energy that you're walking, that's a completely different energy than the victim mindset. How most of us have been programmed that life is happening to us. Now you walk into the energy of life is happening for me. And now you are believing that you have already received it because you have the feeling to go along with it. And once you feel something, it will be real in your life. Whether or not you actually get it in your physical reality is irrelevant.
Speaker 1:I told you about something that I intended to do and it took eight years. It took eight years, eight years, eight years for it to show itself. Eight. I had already forgotten all about it, but now I can tell you why it took eight years Because I had to get to a certain level of self-awareness. When I got to a certain level of self-awareness. Guess what that did? I said, okay, let's start this, let's do this. I got to figure out how to hire these two guys because these guys helped me. It was through that thing that came eight years later that these two guys were able to be hired. It took eight years because that eight years was right on time.
Speaker 1:Good God, almighty, y'all, stop playing with me. Do you understand how this works? So you don't have to worry about the timing of anything, you don't have to worry about when, because it's always going to be right on time. Just because you can't see the end from the beginning doesn't mean that it ain't coming right on time. And this, my friends, is how you can have patience and you can trust.
Speaker 1:So stay prayed up, continue to walk as if, continue to move as if, continue to act like it. Hold that energy. And if you can't hold that energy, it's okay. That just means you got some demons on you, demons of the past, the past narrative, the past perspective, the past programs. Go and deal with those. Work on those. You see how this works, so keep going. I look forward to seeing you at MindFest DG MindFest October 18th through the 20th In Indianapolis, indiana. Get your tickets now. I look forward to seeing you within the DG Mindset community, but just keep going, don't stop. Keep going, and hear me when I say I look forward to seeing you. You may not physically be there, but energetically you can be there. Keep going, be there, but energetically you can be there. Keep going, and I wish you nothing but the best on the pathway to your results. You.
