The Pathway To Your Results

Sacrifice Is Required

• Derick Grant • Season 5 • Episode 211

Share episode

The language of the universe is energy, and when we understand how to speak energy, our conversation with life becomes more fluid and manifesting our desires becomes natural.

• Sacrifice is not about suffering but exchanging an old frequency for a new, better one
• The universe constantly seeks balance and harmony, replacing lower energies with higher ones
• We must let go of old beliefs and ways of thinking to receive our desired reality
• You cannot drive two cars at once – you must choose between your old reality and your new one
• The "liminal space" between letting go and receiving is where growth happens
• Manifestation is instant in the embodiment of a frequency, not in physical appearance
• Life mirrors your frequency – it will only give you what you are, not what you want
• Your frequency distorts reality to reflect itself, both positively and negatively
• True freedom comes from releasing old beliefs that no longer serve your desired reality
• When we all embody our highest frequencies, we create heaven on earth

Go and give yourself permission to let go of what no longer serves you. The world has been waiting for you to be everything you're truly capable of being.

Speaker 1:

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 to Results podcast. It is your boy, dg. We are here, unbelievably grateful that we get to share space and time right now.

Speaker 1:

Today, I want to talk to you about something that we throw this word around a lot and we talk about it, but I don't think we really understand it in terms of energy. We don't understand it in terms of frequency, because remember, I told you, I've told you this many times when you start understanding the language of the universe is energy, you learn how to speak energy. Now, the conversation between you and life good God, almighty, we're about to get started the conversation between you and life becomes just a little bit more fluid. You ever been in a conversation where you didn't understand what they were saying and they didn't understand what you were saying? You guys were speaking from two different frequencies and it didn't work, and you said something one way and they interpreted a completely different other way. And now here you are, arguing and fighting, disagreeing over different perspectives, but it was all because you were on two different frequencies, speaking two different languages, because you were unaware. So now, if we understand, the language of this universe is energy, it is frequency. Remember what frequency was? Frequency is the culmination of your mental and emotional energy.

Speaker 1:

When I start understanding the language of this universe, you're going to start to realize that this word that we refer to as sacrifice is a part of frequency exchange. So when we say we have to sacrifice something, we think usually we have to give up something to go without. But that's not actually the way the language of this universe works, because if you look at this universe, this universe is constantly seeking balance. It's constantly seeking harmony. Universe is constantly seeking balance, it's constantly seeking harmony. Right? We say this in some terms. When we say, what do we say? When one door closes, another one opens? That is sacrifice. That is the way sacrifice works in terms of frequency. So when one thing of a lower energy is taken away, it is replaced then with something of a higher energy. Good God, almighty, you ain't trying to hear nothing I'm saying right now. You might as well go ahead and turn the thing off and get off, so you don't realize that your life is a frequency that you're in which is considered new compared to the old, but you right now is the old compared to what you could be. And in order to move into the new life, you're going to have to sacrifice. I'm going to have to give up. I'm going to have to give up the smaller I'm going to have to give up, the less aware I'm going to have to give up, the less advantageous I'm going to have to give up the lower frequency so I can have the higher frequency. Do you see how this works?

Speaker 1:

So this is really how we create this transaction and how we move into these frequencies it's by sacrificing, it's by exchanging the old way of belief, the old way of mind, the old way of processing and reacting to things. When I exchange that, when I exchange that, I now sorry, when I'm willing to let go of that. Now I can have the opportunity to move into the new frequency. Do we see how this works? So, to receive your new frequency or your new reality, it simply requires you to sacrifice your current reality, meaning I'm going to have to exchange it. I can't go into this new life with this old way of mind. I can't go into this new life with this old way of mind. I can't go into this new relationship with the old rules from the past. I can't go and expect to make new money when I still got the old money's way of thinking. Do we see how this works? Y'all ain't trying to hear me. So you're going to have to be willing to give up everything that was so you can have everything that you desired in your reality. And that is what we call frequency, meaning I'm letting go of the old version of me. That old version of me only worked to a point. That old version of me doesn't work anymore for what I'm trying to do and who I'm trying to become. Does this make sense to you? So when we start to look at it as sacrifice is nothing more, it's another way of saying exchanging, it's another word, another way of saying alchemize, transmute. I am exchanging this old version of me for the new version of me.

Speaker 1:

We do this all the time in life, but we don't do it when it comes to consciously creating our reality. And I've told you before what's the point of you having all of this information and this understanding if you are not consciously creating your reality. So when you start to realize that life, life. Life has been trying to get you to sacrifice. It has been trying to get you to let go. You know the old saying that we say easy come, easy go. This is how we ensure that the sacrifice helps us to keep evolving. Easy come, easy go, meaning when I can let go of the old, it's going to be easy for it to come in. The easier it is that you can let go, the easier that it will be when it comes in. The easier that it is that it comes in, the easier it was that you let go. But what we don't realize is there's going to be a giving first. This is why they call it the law of giving and receiving. Giving and receiving, giving then receiving, giving then receiving. I might get on here, I might make an album and rap Giving then receiving. You give and then you receive. Because when you give, that means you're letting go of an old. In order to receive, you would have to receive the new. Does this make sense? So, when I can let go of my old way and I'm in a constant cycle of exchanging frequencies for realities and realities for frequencies, this, my friends, good God almighty, this, my friends, is the nature of this universe. This is the nature of it.

Speaker 1:

Look at your skin cells. You don't give up the old cells when you go to bed. Look, I got a wife, I got a daughter. They're doing the. What do they call it? Self-care, self-care you get the exfoliator and you clean your face and get all the old skin. You don't then replace the old skin cells with the same exact skin cells. What do they do? It comes with something a little bit more pure, a little bit something, something a little bit more new. Does this make sense? So this is the same thing that's happened in life. We don't get, we don't let go of something, and they get replaced with the same thing. It's going to be newer, it's going to be more evolved. But here's the thing that makes it challenging for us. It's hard for us because we got so accustomed and we became so familiar with the old. Okay, now we can start moving into beliefs. This is why it's so hard for us to make change and make growth and evolve in a way that's sustainable, because we don't want to let go of the old.

Speaker 1:

You're not willing to sacrifice the old beliefs, even though good and well. I'm about to say something that's going to trigger some people. You know good and well that those beliefs that you have right now, they ain't working for the life that you want to live, and you know that. You know that you don't want to be in a relationship with them. You know that the relationship ain't working, but your heart had a button. You're still staying in it, ain't you? And then guess what you're going to do? You're going to hop on, live. You're going to send me an email, you're going to say something and be like well, I don't, what do I do? It's not working. Well, if you know it's working, why are you still doing it? Because you're not willing to sacrifice me, you're not willing to exchange.

Speaker 1:

The old is why it's so important for us to let go, let go of everything that does not, does, does not serve your, your desire, reality. So, before we start pointing fingers and complaining about this and that and this, you need to ask yourself why am I still holding on to this right now, knowing good and well it is not serving what it is that I want to live? I must sacrifice, I must let go. This old frequency must be exchanged for a newer frequency. And in between then, when you let go of the old and the new hasn't come in. We've talked about this before. Go back and listen to the episode. This is the liminal space. This is the space in between, when you ain't there yet, you're not quite yet a butterfly and you ain't a caterpillar anymore, and you're in this in-between stage. This is where I'm trying to tell you where the growth begins. But first you're going to have to be okay with letting go.

Speaker 1:

So if we start to think of it like if you had two cars, two cars, right, you got a red car, you got a blue car. Blue car is the desired reality. Red car is your old reality. You can only be in one of those cars at one time. You can have all the cars you want. Look at guys NBA players, nfl players got all these cars. We can only drive one at a time. So which one are you going to drive? Which one are you going to get in? You're going to get in the red car or you're going to get in the blue car? You've been in the red car. You know the red car ain't going to get you where, been used to it and you know how that car works, meaning you know how those beliefs are. It's familiar.

Speaker 1:

This is why we have a fear of the unknown. We have a fear of the unknown. Raise your hand if you have a fear of the unknown. If you have a fear of unknown or the uncertainty, it's because you're not willing to sacrifice the old for the new. You're not willing to get out of that red car to get into the blue car.

Speaker 1:

It's dark, I can't see anything. Where's the blue car? The blue car is there. Just keep walking, just keep moving. You will get there Eventually. You're going to bump into the car. Okay, there's the door handle.

Speaker 1:

True story. My garage door wasn't opening, my garage door opener was not working. So I would get in my car in the garage when it was and I would get in the car and I'd have to, like, feel around on the car to find the handle. I knew it was there, but I couldn't find it. I couldn't see it. Do we see how this works? But I knew it was there. That blue car is there. That desired reality is there. That future life is there. That abundant relationship is there. The prosperity, the health, all of that is there. It's waiting for you, but you're in the dark right now. You can't see it. And the reason why we can't see it is because we're too caught up in comparing it to the old red car.

Speaker 1:

The door handles ain't in the same place. You over here looking for it in the same place as the red car, meaning you looking for it to look like the old life. It ain't going to look like the old life. It ain't going to feel like the old life when you move into a new way of being, a new frequency, a new mental and emotional state. It ain't going to be like the last Because, just like those skin cells, it does not create something that is the exact same. It's going to be what's the word? More refined, more defined, more aware. Does this make sense to you?

Speaker 1:

So if I know that, on the front end, my job is to make sure that I trust, my job is to make sure that I have faith. My job is to make sure that I have courage. My job is to make sure that I have clarity. And when I do that, when I can start to do that, here's what's going to end up happening. You're going to start to see that, this constant cycle of exchanging frequencies for realities and realities for frequencies it's going to be like an easy. What do they call it? Lazy Susan. You know, lazy Susan, where you just turn around and let me turn this and give you this, it's just going to be like a revolving door, and now you'll start to see how quickly you can transform.

Speaker 1:

So if you look at the Bible, the Bible is telling you this in Matthew 13, 12. Form. So if you look at the Bible, the Bible was telling you this in Matthew 13, 12. Remember, jesus said whoever has will be given more and they will have an abundance, and whoever does not have, even they will be taken away from, because this universe is seeking to maintain and magnify whatever frequency you're in. So if I can keep moving and keep evolving and keep growing, then life will help me to keep evolving and keep growing. And here's what it's going to do. It's going to match you wherever you are at.

Speaker 1:

But here's the work that a lot of people don't want to do. And this is where it gets difficult. We get comfortable, we get safe, because in that stage of when you are moving from one frequency to the other, there is a lot of uncertainty. There is the unknown, because we don't know, and then we try to hold on to what we know, and that keeps us stuck. That keeps us stunted. You see what I'm saying. So for you, for everybody here, you can hear me, you have ears and can hear me.

Speaker 1:

This is, for you, what I'm trying to get you to understand, what I'm trying to get you to pick up what I'm dropping off is that at some point in your life you are going to have to sacrifice. And when I say sacrifice, it's not the human way we think of See. Here's what we've been conditioned to believe that when I say sacrifice, I'm supposed to put myself down less and make myself less than somebody else. I'm supposed to sacrifice my happiness and my emotional and mental well-being for everybody else. That's what we believe sacrifice means. Let me go ahead and be miserable so everybody else can be happy. That's what you probably think sacrifice means. That ain't what sacrifice means.

Speaker 1:

Sacrifice just means I'm going to exchange this reality for a newer, more aligned reality. So maybe my old reality is I'm a people pleaser. Maybe my old reality is I depend on other people for validation and approval. Maybe my old reality is I need you to like me because I don't like myself. Reality is I need you to like me because I don't like myself. But the new reality is I'm self-sufficient, I love myself, I honor myself, I see myself, I accept myself, do we see?

Speaker 1:

And in order for you to move from that old, unworthy version to this newer, more refined version who sees just a little bit more of myself, I'm going to have to let go of it, I'm going to have to exchange it, I'm going to have to sacrifice it, and I'm here to tell you this. When you can do this, that version of you was waiting for you. It was waiting for you. That's why I tell you manifestation is instant. Manifestation is instant. I'm teaching manifestation right now. I'm teaching you how to do this, and you look at the last four weeks of these podcasts. This is what I've been trying to teach you.

Speaker 1:

Manifestation is instant, not instant in the sense you're going to see it in your physical world. That isn't what I'm talking about. It's instant because it's the embodiment of a new frequency. May I say that again for the people in the back, just in case you didn't understand what I'm saying, because some of us in the spiritual world, in the world of manifestation, we think that it means I manifested and I see it in my physical reality. That isn't what it is. It is the embodiment of an abstract thought. I am embodying a frequency, and when I do that it will show itself in a physical reality. But the embodiment can happen instantly. Do you hear what I'm saying? It can happen at a moment's notice. You can go from being down and out to now. All of a sudden I'm walking around like I'm him, instantly. And if you can hold that consistently, you will then see that in your physical reality.

Speaker 1:

And here's the paradox. We've talked about this. You ain't going to need to see it in your physical reality anymore because you were it already. And once you are it, the desire is gone. You won't even want it anymore. Nobody wants what they already have. Shall I say that again, nobody wants what they already have. The key was to become it, to be it. But in order to be it, I got to stop being what I was. Good God, almighty, they ain't trying to hear nothing that I'm saying right now. We over here trying to be something in the future, but you can't be nothing in the future when you still being what you was in the past. I'm over here trying to walk in abundance, but I'm still walking around with the same programs and scarcity and beliefs of the impoverished past. How in the world are you going to be that? How in the world are you going to be abundant when you're still walking in poverty? You can't do both now. You can't drive both cars. You might as well figure out which one you're going to get in. Am I going to get in the red one? Am I going to stay in the red one? Am I going to get in the blue one? That is your choice and this is what I'm trying to tell you. It's a choice. It's a choice. It's a choice.

Speaker 1:

So some of us I'm not saying everybody, but some of us would rather stay in that old, beat up, crusty red car than, instead of getting in this new blue one that could fly you to the moon and drive you any place, and it was smooth. Some of us would rather stay in that old, rickety red car Because that's the car that we knew how to drive, that's the car that we've only had. Some of us, some of us I'm not saying everybody now Some of us would rather stay in that old, beat up red car, all because it was comfortable, all because it was familiar, all because that's what I believed I was capable of. I'm here to tell you, you can get a blue car. And guess what? When you get that blue car, if we do it right, that blue car is going to become like a red car. When I'm in that blue car long enough, eventually there's going to be a purple car. And then, when I get used to that purple car, there's going to be a yellow car. Do you see, there's going to be a constant evolution. There's always going to be another version of you that is waiting.

Speaker 1:

And this, my friends, is what we came here to do. From my perspective of this human game, was to evolve and grow and then see how much we could evolve and grow and then see what kind of experience we could create in this physical reality. To see could we bring this spiritual, celestial, cosmic understanding into this physical reality, to bring heaven into earth? Do we see how this works? So for you to do that, you will have to sacrifice Good God Almighty. Why do you think we look at the story of Jesus? Y'all ain't trying to hear nothing. Everybody thinks, oh, he sacrificed his life for us. Why do you think we look at the story of Jesus? Y'all ain't trying to hear nothing. Everybody think, oh, he sacrificed his life for us. He sacrificed.

Speaker 1:

Do we not understand what the word sacrifice means? It didn't have nothing to do with death, it didn't have nothing to do with him getting up on a cross. That's what it was about. It was about the exchange, the exchange of one frequency, of one way of being, of one level of awareness, of one vibration for another that was more aware. But see, here's the issue, here's the issue. We took it literal and we think oh, he died for my sins. He died. What the what does that even mean? What does that even mean? Die all the time? They die all the time. What does that even mean? You got to understand the deeper meaning, the deeper meaning so that it would apply to you regardless of your belief. The sacrifice was the exchange, the exchange for a higher awareness. Why do you think he came back? Why do you think he came back? He could walk through walls and they put their hands through him. It was like how's this motherfuckers translucent? How's he walking?

Speaker 1:

Because you, when you get to a certain place and a certain level of awareness, you will see that you will transcend every law in this physical world. You transcend man's laws, you transcend man's understanding, you transcend man's comprehension. So the reason why I'm saying that? Because a lot of people ain't going to understand why you left your job. A lot of people ain't going to understand why you chose this path. A lot of people ain't going to understand how chose this path. A lot of people ain't gonna understand how come you don't keep doing that, how come you still don't keep moving and moving in this place of lack. Why don't what? Because they became familiar with that. They got so used, so used to seeing you in that old, beat-up red car. Now, now they think there's something wrong with you because you got in a blue car and if we're not careful, we'll start to question whether or not we should have gotten the blue car. But I'm telling you that blue car was waiting for you, that new reality was waiting for you, that desired reality was waiting for you to become it. That's all life was getting.

Speaker 1:

Good God, almighty, you ain't trying to hear nothing. I'm saying right now you ain't trying to hear nothing. Life is literally looking at you, saying I'm going to show you everything, I will give you everything in this physical reality, but I need you to show me what it feels like. I need you to show me what it feels like. Imagine that. Imagine life, god, the source, the creator, the universe. Imagine it's saying I'm going to give you, I'll show you, I will manifest anything in this physical reality, but you first need to show me what it feels like. You need to show me what it feels like so I can show you what it looks like. And this is the exchange.

Speaker 1:

But here's where we get it backwards. We expect life to show us what it looks like before we've shown life what it feels like. So now, here I am, walking around with impoverished, limiting belief, but yet I'm asking life and praying on my knees every day to God. God, please, please, show me the abundance that lives. You ain't going to get it. You can't. You ain't speaking the language. You're going to have to speak the language.

Speaker 1:

But here's the issue. A lot of us are speaking the language, but we're speaking it to the undesired reality. So we over here complaining that we don't have a job, we complain about the relationship, we complain we ain't got enough money. You're giving too much energy to the thing that you don't want. So this is what life says.

Speaker 1:

Well, you show me how it feels not to have it. You show me how it feels to go without. So life says well, let me show you what it feels, what it looks like to not have it. Let me show you what it looks like to go without. Do you see how this works? And it does not care. That's the first thing we have to understand. Universe don't give a, don't care, because if you look at it, if you look at it, gravity treat everybody just the same. Fire treats everybody just the same, all of these things that are universal. It treats everybody the same. It don't care what your credit look like. Gravity don't care what your credit look like, it don't matter how much you weigh, it doesn't matter what you did yesterday, it don't matter whether you were morally or ethically quote unquote right, it does not give a, it does not care, it treats you just like it treats the other person. So life, life is the same way.

Speaker 1:

But what you don't realize is life is just you, your reality is just you. So before you start looking at what isn't happening, you need to start looking on the inside first, because life is just mirroring the inside. Life has been sitting here looking at you saying, hey, hey, I'm going to give you everything, but you're going to have to be it first, and I'm only going to give you whatever you are. Let me say this again I'm only going to give you what you are. And you, over here, mad at life, you looking at life, cussing like, oh my gosh, life is so hard. I can't believe this is happening. I'm not realizing, not realizing that life was just being you because we were too unaware.

Speaker 1:

And this is what it meant to be self-aware. He who becomes self-aware becomes a self-master, and the one who has self-mastery is the one who can start to master and consciously create his physical reality, because he realized that his physical reality was not separate from him. So this is why, when I tell you you're going to have to sacrifice, you're going to have to let go of the old way of consciousness, the old way of awareness, in order to have the new. And it's really quite simple. And it becomes this trade and bartering of this evolutionary path that we take, of giving up the old for the new. And now it's just a transaction, do we see? And then here's the deal you ready All we're giving up is the old beliefs. All we're doing is giving up the old beliefs, not realizing that our life is just the culmination of whatever we believe, because whatever you believe is truth, and whatever is truth to you will be your reality. So this is why we don't realize that we all have different realities, because we have different truths, because we have different belief systems.

Speaker 1:

But when you start to realize that you can create your beliefs however you want, so that they are conducive to the desired reality, now you don't have to walk around complaining about life and how life isn't the way you want. You just had to become aware of the beliefs that you had that did not support the life that you want. Once I let go of them, I can now replace them. We've talked about this is why it's so hard, though it's hard to do this, and that's just a belief. It is challenging because you were not aware of your beliefs and life is just trying to show you where all of your beliefs are, and that's what we call triggers, that's what we call hardship, that's what we call struggle and I know, I know it seems like this is this, this and this on the outside, but that ain't it. That ain't it at all.

Speaker 1:

When you start to realize that life is just trying to show you where you are creating your truths, and then here's the deal it's going to seek to create that, it's going to seek to magnify that, it's going to seek to maintain that Because, remember, it maintains balance. That's what it's seeking to do. So now life shows me whatever I thought I was. But what I thought I was was unconscious, it was subconscious. So now, because of this, your frequency is distorting your reality to reflect your frequency. Let me go ahead and say that again for the people in the back your frequency distorts reality to reflect your frequency, both the positive and the negative. So this is why you have to become aware of what you maintain and what you magnify.

Speaker 1:

You're going to have to become aware of what beliefs am I still holding on to. You're going to have to become aware of which car I'm actually sitting in. Am I sitting in the red or am I sitting in the blue? All right, whether it's going to move the matrix red pill, blue pill, all right. Red car, blue car Same thing Meaning.

Speaker 1:

Are you going to hold on to the old beliefs that were probably passed down, that were probably taught, that were probably ingrained, or are you going to live through the new? Or are you going to go out and step out and not conform and not be like everybody else and not walk in this place of okay. Well, what are people going to think about me? Who gives a what people think about you? Who cares? Why don't you ask yourself what do you think about yourself? What do you think about yourself? Ask yourself that, what do I think about me? And then you'll start to see, oh my goodness, oh my goodness, it really was just about me developing a belief around who it was I wanted to be. And this is life, and this is the sacrifice that we all must make. You've made sacrifices before. Now, it's about consciously doing this. And now, because you don't have the need to conform and people, please, now you can start to blaze your own path. You can form your own beliefs.

Speaker 1:

I'm gonna walk my life the way I want Frank Sinatra and his mother. I did it. Own beliefs. I'm going to walk my life the way I want to Frank Sinatra and his mother. I did it my way. I'm going to do it my way now. I'm going to live my life the way I want to live it now. I'm going to experience my realities the way I want to experience it. So I'm not going to live by mom's perspective of me. Anymore I don't have to hold that belief no more. That was mom's belief. I ain't got to do that no more. I can look at life and say, man, life is so good to me, everything that I do is just, it just magnifies. And I'm prosperous, and I'm this, and I'm that, I'm healthy.

Speaker 1:

You can develop that belief, you. I just had to come on here to give you some encouragement, to know that sacrifice is going to be a part of the journey, not sacrifice in the way you've probably been conditioned, but there is going to be an exchange that needs to take place. And give yourself permission to do so along this journey. Look, I'm doing this in my own life and I'm just teaching you how to do it, how I've been doing it. And there's a feeling of liberation, of freedom, when you know that you can let go of the old that no longer serves you. That's what freedom is. I'm not bound and constrained and limited by my old beliefs anymore. That's freedom.

Speaker 1:

You can develop your belief system based on wherever you're at, whatever you need for this point of life. Give yourself permission to do so. I can't give you permission. You got to give yourself permission. Go and do it now, because this world has been waiting for you to be everything that you're truly capable of being. I'm telling you, the world's waiting, waiting.

Speaker 1:

Imagine if every person walked around free. Imagine if every person walked around with a smile on their face and they felt whole and happy. Imagine if every person did that, what this world would look like you can't even imagine, but you will when you start to do it for yourself.
