The Pathway To Your Results
New Levels = New Devils
In this episode, we explore the layers of personal development, where each achievement uncovers "new devils" that reveal the hidden aspects of our ego and unconscious mind. In this episode of the Pathway to Your Results Podcast, I share a personal tale of uncovering a deeply rooted issue with self-celebration and its impact on my life and my son's, illustrating the ongoing journey of self-awareness. We'll delve into the importance of embracing these challenges as opportunities for healing and growth, drawing inspiration from both biblical and cultural ideologies.
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. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Pathway Results podcast, presented by DG Mindset. It is your boy, dg. We are here, grateful. I'm so grateful that you're here joining me.
Speaker 1:I told you in 2025, it was the year to thrive. I told you in 2025, we was going to level up. I told you that 2025, 2024 was cool, it was great, but 2025 was time to come alive. 2025 was the time to thrive. I can make more, ron. I can make more if you want, but I'm not going to do that to you all. I can hear my son right now. Dad, stop being corny. I ain't going to do that to you all, but here's something that maybe you don't realize and a lot of people don't realize that I'm seeing on another level, and you know me when I see something, I got to talk about it. I got to talk about it on this podcast.
Speaker 1:People don't see that when you hit a new level, there's going to be some new devils. New level, there's going to be some new devils. Let me go ahead and say this again for you when you upgrade and you hit a new level, there's going to be some new devils. Now let's break down really what the devil is. In the Bible they refer to it as Satan. In the Hebrew word it's called Hasatan, the adversary, the thing that works against the soul. What is that? It's our unconscious mind, also referred to us as the ego. So let's go ahead and re-say that as you hit the new level, there's going to be new parts of your ego that need to be healed healed that will come up that you didn't even know that existed. Y'all ain't trying to hear nothing that I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Did you think that she was going to get to the next level? Did you think that she was going to hit that new tax bracket? Did you think that she was going to get this new body? Did you think that she was going to get that new house? Did you think that she was going to get this new mindset and you weren't going to have new adversaries? If you didn't have the adversaries on the last level, you wouldn't be at the level that you're at right now. Do you hear what I'm saying? If I didn't have him guarding me full court, I wouldn't be able to score in a half court so easily. So when you start to realize that the level that you were at came with their own set of wounds, their own set of unconscious programs that you had to become aware of, and once you did, you upgraded to the next level. There was a new pocket, there was a new layer, there was a new level of things that you were unaware of. Do we see things that you were unaware of? Do we see? So I'm learning in my life.
Speaker 1:It's like I think Meek Mills said it best Be careful whose rappers you put in your mouth. Nowadays you don't know what these rappers are doing behind closed scenes. But that's a whole nother story. But anyway, I think Meek Mills had a song called Levels. Right, he was saying that there's levels to this game. I don't want to call it levels, I want to call it layers. There's layers, there are layers. I'm learning what guilt looks like in the layers of guilt. I'm seeing what shame looks like in the layers of shame. So here's my point You'll never, ever, ever be done as you keep upgrading there's going to be a new layer. Be done as you keep upgrading there's going to be a new layer. There's going to be a new level. So I told you all the other day I mean last podcast how, like learning how to celebrate yourself, learning how to like I just learned, I literally just learned how the reason why I don't celebrate myself or the reason why I'm not proud of myself, it was because of a wound on another layer of the seven year old inside. I had already dealt with the seven year old on the layer of he'll play second fiddle because he doesn't believe in himself, but I didn't know that this layer was below that. This is the reason why he's not proud of himself.
Speaker 1:So the other day I played in the men's league, played in a 40 over league. I love it because I'm like a young guy in that league. I'm 42. I mean, they got guys in there. One guy looked like he was about 113 years old, but I'm a young guy, right, so I can go out there and run around. And one guy told me he said man, you need to slow your ass down, you're too fast for everybody. I said, look, sweat.
Speaker 1:But anyway, my son came to the game and he was just sitting there watching and he came up to me after the game because the guys at the score table was like how many points are you going to score? How many points? I scored 60 points one game and 50 points the next game. They think now every time I go out there I'm going to score 60 and 50. And I'm like, nah, it ain't going to be that. But anyway, my son was like, how many points did you have? And I said and then my words right after that were I should have had 50. You see how I just diminished what I did. See how it diminished what I just did.
Speaker 1:And then I started to notice he does the same thing and I started to see the layers, the levels, this new level of awareness that I have. I see more. So it's not that there's more devils, it's not that there's more of the ego. You have more eyes to see the unconscious. You have more vision to see what was previously unseen, but it was there too. So my point of this is, when I told you the story, this new level of awareness in 2025, and I say February, really that's come around. February has been a drastic and January it's been quite a bit of upgrade in the collective of seeing these wounds.
Speaker 1:Please know that, this new level of awareness that you have, you're going to see more of the shadow as well. You're going to see more of the shadow as well. You can see more of stuff that you've been running away from as well. So the reason why I'm saying that don't think that it's going to get easier, don't think that it's going to get lighter, don't think that it's like okay, I did it, ah, yep, ah. Went on a retreat. I did ayahuasca. I'm good. Ah, ayahuasca, I'm good. Yep, I did my shadow work. I've been journaling. Yep, I do yoga and breath work. I'm fine.
Speaker 1:Now You're going to see more stuff that you were unaware of. This is why we say ignorance is bliss. You're not ignoring it because you're unaware of it. Now you see it and you will feel it. So the new levels come with new devils. The new level of awareness comes with the new layers that you were unaware of. So now, if we know this, now you can start using that vision now Because, see, you went from having 20-20 vision to now you got x-ray vision.
Speaker 1:See, they didn't tell you that when you upgrade, when you heal, when you keep expanding your awareness and your consciousness, they didn't tell you that you was going to get that x-ray vision they didn't tell you you're going to be able to see through things. So now I can have a conversation with somebody, I can see friends that maybe were old friends I put them in air quote because nowadays they ain't friends because I can actually see that this relationship was built on your insecurity, that you actually needed me to people. Please, I can see it now, you see, and we've been friends for a long time, but now, all of a sudden, we don't really talk to each other anymore, because you just don't resonate with me, because I'm at a new level of awareness. So I see stuff a little bit differently. That doesn't mean that I'm any better than you, but now that's triggering for you, because you also have wounds of abandonment and rejection.
Speaker 1:And you wonder why I'm not calling you so much to go out. You wonder why, when you ask me to go out, I'm like oh, I'm busy, I got stuff to do. We just don't click anymore. Yeah, the reason why is because you see stuff that before you didn't see. So now you're at a new level, a new frequency, a new vibration. So now I guess you could say there's new devils, there's new opposition, there's new adversity, there's new resistance. There's new struggle and all that is is to upgrade you, to get you to the next level. So I'm telling you right now, everything, everything, everything, everything that I'm experiencing, I'm seeing in this new earth, is to get us to keep upgrading, keep going. It's like a full-time workout. Now. You know, you used to work out a couple of days a week. Now it's like no, every time. We're going to work out every single day, every single day.
Speaker 1:The universe is giving you something for you to see a little bit more, so you can heal a little bit more. And the more that I see, the more that I will feel, and the more that I will feel, the more I have to heal. Do you see how this works? So, if we start thinking about the layers, the levels, as just a column, it's like a spectrum. The higher I go up, the more I see. The higher up, the more I see, and the more I see, the more I'll feel and the more that I feel. I now know what I need to heal. Do you see the framework of this universe and how this works?
Speaker 1:So the universe, god, source, the creator, allah, brahman, whatever you want to call it it is working out for you to be able to see these new devils. It wants you to see these new devils because if you're really doing the work and you do see these new devils, do we not know that what comes after that is the new level, and then the cycle repeats itself. You'll hit the new level, you'll have a little bit of joy, and that's time to get back to work New devils and then you'll get through that. You'll go through the dark night. Maybe it won't last months and weeks, it only lasts a day or so, a couple hours. And then you'll get through that and guess what? You're back on the next frequency and life is going to just keep doing this cycle over and over and over and over and over again, and over and over and over and over again.
Speaker 1:So now that we know this, we know the framework of how we expand, you better start rejoicing every time you got them new devils. You better rejoice every time you got those haters, or you got people saying you can't do this, or these naysayers, or someone abandoned you and rejects you or makes you feel unworthy or makes you feel less than you better start celebrating it, because now you know the framework, you know the system, you know the process of how this actually works. So the trigger right now is actually working for me. It's trying to show me what I haven't been feeling and because I haven't been feeling I haven't had the opportunity to heal. But if I heal, I'm going to hit that next layer, that next level, and when I go to the next level it expands my abilities. It expands my capabilities. I can do more. I see just a little bit more of myself. I believe in myself. I see more of myself now. I know myself more. Do you see how this works?
Speaker 1:So it's the cool part about this thing that we call life. Life is looking you out. Life is looking you out. Life is actually trying. It's trying to get you to upgrade and evolve. But here's the issue Nobody ever told you what the point of life was.
Speaker 1:I wish they would have told us that Instead of us teachers in school, you over here teaching me algebra and teaching me calculus and teaching me all this stuff. Why don't you teach me what the point of life is? Why don't you teach me on a spiritual level why I'm here? Why did I come here to this school? If I'm going to be in school, you might as well tell me about this big school that we call Earth. Why am I here? See, they didn't tell you that you came here to grow, that you came here to evolve, that you came here to see just a little bit more of yourself through all of these experiences. See, they didn't tell you that. So now you're over here playing this game of what we call being human, didn't know, didn't even know how to do it, didn't even know why we were here. But how much differently is something if you know why? Why do you think little children, every time you tell them a five and under, every time you tell them something, they always say why.
Speaker 1:I remember my son was five years old. My son used to ask me a question. He'd be like why, why, why, why. And I used to look at Carlin and be like how long is he going to ask why? For? And he still asks why. And I realize why they ask why, because why gives you context. See, when we came into this earth and we crossed this veil, we purposely forgot why we were here, and it was our job to remember why. And that's what you're on right now. You're on a journey to remember why. This is why I'm here to help you remember why you came here to grow.
Speaker 1:You didn't come here to stay the same. You came here to evolve. You didn't come here to stay the same. You came here to see who you could become, what you could do. In order to do that, you're going to have to become somebody new. This is why you're here. It can be done on a macro level, on a micro level. You were constantly.
Speaker 1:Think about what's happening on the micro level. The same thing that creates your cells is the same thing that's created you. The same thing that emanates through this whole entire physical universe on a mass level, on a gross level, is the same thing that's happening on the smallest micro level. Look at your cells. Your cells are constantly recreating themselves. Every single night you go to bed, they regenerate themselves. They make new ones. Oh, you thought you weren't going to make a new cell, a new version of you. How is it the cells got to grow and evolve, but you don't? How is it the cells in our body got to grow and evolve, but you don't?
Speaker 1:I'm starting to wonder, as above so below, do people who grow taller than others? Is it because at a younger age they're asking why? A little bit more. They want to know why. So, because they're asking why they're constantly growing and evolving. I don't know, I'm the tallest one in my family. I ask more questions than a little bit. I ask more questions than anybody. I want to know why. I want to know why. Well, if I want to know why, on a psychological, on an emotional, on a spiritual level, my cells are only responding. My DNA is literally only listening and responding to whatever's going on in this environment. My mental landscape is a part of the environment. So what if? What if it was about you asking the question why? I started to realize? Kids are asking the question why? Because that was the question when we came into this world as humans, when we crossed over to that veil and we forgot it was why.
Speaker 1:Why am I here? Why are we here? Why To grow, to hit new levels. Here's what happens with the ego. Here's what happens with the ego. Here's what happens with the matrix. It puts accomplishment and ties attachment to the new level. So I got to hit the new level. If I don't hit the new level, then I'm not good enough. If I don't get to this place, I'm not good enough. If it doesn't look like this. I'm not good enough.
Speaker 1:So now we've just made growth and evolution and expansion and ascension. We've just made it into a man-made construct instead of it being a universal, a spiritual concept. So now we're not focusing on being, we're focusing more on doing. But you are a being, you are not a doing. Nobody here is called a doing. You are called a being. And this, my friends, is how we hit new levels. This is the paradox when you get to a new level, you will only want to be. There will be no desire for you to do, because the attachment is gone. And here's the beauty of it I can choose anything that I want now. Whoever I want to be, I can choose it because there's no attachment. I'm not like oh my gosh, I got to do this. No, choose what it is and then go, be it. And if it doesn't show itself in this physical reality, that's okay too. So I made a commitment to myself here in 2025. I'm going to start over. I'm going to start over. I'm going to now approach life as if this awakening never happened and I just want to better myself. I just want to grow, I just want to learn.
Speaker 1:So I bought a book, right, I was at the bookstore. I was at the bookstore, I was flying, I was an Indy flying to New York and I bought a book. And I didn't plan on buying a book, because I'm reading two of them right now and I'm like, well, you know me, I just I like to read, though. So I ended up buying this book. And then I get on the plane and I fly to New York City and I get off the plane. I'm like crap, I left the book on the plane. How many water bottle? I go through more water bottles than anybody else because I leave them on the plane.
Speaker 1:But this time it was a book and I read like the first 20 pages. I'm like man, this book is so good. But isn't that funny? That morning I made a commitment to myself that I was going to grow like no other this year, and I buy this book. And this book is like feeding me. I can literally feel it. It's opening me up. And then I leave the book and I felt that that was a test for the universe to say are you going to continue on? Are you just going to say, eh, who cares? Ironically, it just so happened that I was going to New York City to go meet with somebody. And where was I meeting them? At Barnes and Nobles, a bookstore, and I took this as a test. Are you going to go back and go buy that $30 book? Are you going to go buy it again? I bought the same book twice in a day and guess what? When I got back on the plane going home, I started the book over and read it like it was my first time ever opening the book.
Speaker 1:So here's my point the tests are going to come. The tests are going to come to get you to the next level, but sometimes the tests are going to come to make sure that you're strong enough to stay at the level that you're at. Sometimes they bump you up and sometimes they cement you into where you are, because sometimes, where you are, you're going to have to stay here for a little bit of a season. You're going to have some things that are going on in your life. There's going to be some relationships that's going to fracture. There's going to be some things that have to crumble away. But the universe just wants to make sure that you really built, that you got enough resistance, that you got enough persistence, that you got enough willpower, that you got enough discipline. Just stay your butt put where you are and hunker down for the storm.
Speaker 1:Now I realized that this test was to see this intention that you set, and you say you want to grow and you're going to learn. Are you going to let this not having this book be an excuse? Are you going to let this be an excuse as to why you couldn't go back and go get that book again? So this is what I did. I call them vibe checks. You said you wanted to grow, you wanted to evolve. This book found you. This book found you. You weren't going to buy a book, but this book found you and you got it.
Speaker 1:And the universe said all right, let's see if he really want to see. Are you going to do what he says he's going to do? Take it away, make him forget it, see if he's going to really be who he says he's going to be. And that's your vibe check. So it's not like the world is hating. It's not like, oh my gosh, I'm so stupid I forgot the book. It's none of that. It's just saying if you said that you was going to be who you are, then be who you are. Do we see how this works.
Speaker 1:So life is just trying to get you to step into this new level and own it, own it, own it. And this, my friend, is why these new devils come at the new levels. They're just trying to get you to own this new frequency of where you're at. They're trying to get you to own the frequency of where you are at, and when you get that, when you get it, it's going to see and help you to get to the next level, the next layer of wounds, the next part of you being unconscious. So you can deal with that too. So you can deal with that too. So, if you got new tests, if you got new devils, if you got new layers that you're working through, congratulations. You made it to the next frequency, the next level, the next layer. Continue your work, do your work, hunker down, figure out what it is that you need to learn, see what this is trying to help you with, see if you could go back and do it all over again. What would you do differently? Extract the information so you can get to the next level. And this is how you continue to expand and grow. I hope this resonated with you. I hope you have many new devils because of the new levels that you're at.
Speaker 1:Keep going, keep, keep going. We still got spots for our Tulum retreats and Arizona retreats. They're still available. I encourage you to come. Hang out. You guys will enjoy it. You'll love it. Every retreat that I'm on, I always enjoy meeting new souls and hanging out with them and eating dinner with them, and, yeah, you will definitely. It will be an experience that your soul will never forget. So keep going and, as always, I wish you nothing but the best on the pathway to your results.
