Ep 407: Throwback to Ep95: The Power Or Morning Rituals

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  Jim Rohn said, “Never start your day until you finish it on paper,” and I say, “Never start your day until you finish it in your mind”. I kept this episode short and simple and I talk about my morning routine.Most of us get “swept away” by the world the minute we open our eyes in the morning, and we lose ourselves in the world. In this episode I talk about:[3:12] How simple and powerful a morning routine can be[4:57] How I start my day[6:11] Where I start my day in my home[9:27] And, the power of setting your morning intent. I cannot stress enough the importance of setting your intent every morning and soon I’ll follow up with an episode on the Power of Intention. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Never start your day until you have first finished it in your mind.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim shares an intimate and powerful conversation with Don Xavier, a sorcerer and spiritual teacher, about the concept of cosmic seniority. Through personal anecdotes and ancient wisdom, Jim explains that we are not just passive beings in a chaotic world—we are divine co-creators with the universe itself. Drawing from a dinner dialogue with Don avier, this episode explores the immense creative and healing power that lives within us, and how we unknowingly give it away to external forces like fear, ego, and the 3D world. Jim breaks down what it means to reclaim our seniority—the energetic authority we carry as conscious souls on this planet. He dives into how dis-ease begins in the mind, how modern medicine often strips us of our power, and why it’s vital to recognize that we are in charge of our reality. Whether you’re navigating a health crisis, financial difficulty, or spiritual confusion, this episode will remind you that you already have everything within you to transform your life—if you learn to manage your energy and remember who you truly are. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your purpose, your health, or your power—this episode is your call to remember. It’s time to stop giving your energy away and start living from your cosmic seniority. What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Don Xavier on Disease and Divine Intelligence (03:00) Illness begins in the mind and manifests in the body—your health is a reflection of your harmony with the universe.  The Power of Seniority and Energetic Responsibility (10:00) Your energy is your power, and reclaiming it is the key to healing, creating, and living fully.  Why You Are on This Planet but Not of This Planet (13:30) Understanding your divine origin shifts how you approach life, fear, and your sense of belonging.  How Modern Medicine Can Strip Away Your Power (18:00) Jim shares how giving seniority to doctors and institutions can limit healing and keep us in “mediocrity.”  We’re Always Creating—Even as Newborns (16:30) You are a creator from birth, and your energy impacts others and yourself from the start.  Matter Creates Matter—And Why That’s Empowering (26:00) You can shape your physical reality when you consciously co-create with the universe through your energy.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You are not here to surrender your power to external forces—you are here to master it. The universe lives within you, in your organs, in your consciousness, and in your ability to choose. Every moment, you’re either evolving or devolving. The difference? Your awareness of your seniority. You are the artist of your life, painting with the brush of divine intelligence. So choose presence over panic, soul over struggle, and power over passivity. Life is not happening to you—it’s happening through you. Remember who you are.  Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  In Star Wars there was the phrase, “May the Force be with you.” Well, this isn’t Star Wars but there is a force and you can use it to create any life you want. This force is called Intention and Will. You’re an energy being, you’re bio electro-magnetic. You are an energy system that functions on many levels: you function physically and you function “energetically.” Both are energy but they are different levels of energy. In this episode I talk about:[5:29] A physics experiment that proves you can bend the world to your consciousness[6:44] Another experiment that proves your thoughts affect people around you[9:55] The fact that most people are currently trapped in their 3D reality[23:41] Why it’s vital to be at peace and well being[24:36] A powerful to question to ask yourself as the world is in fear all around you[26:45] How your BEing and life work on multiple levels[28:43] How I set my intention daily[36:18] And, why you must set your intention and use your will With all that’s going on in the world, it’s so easy to get caught up in the fear and frenzy and get swept away. Do NOT give yourself to the fear and chaos in the world. Slow down, center yourself and learn how to “cast” your will and intention out into the world to create the life experience that you want.If/when you apply what I talk about in this episode, things will shift dramatically in your life. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You can use your intention and will to create any life experience you want.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this powerful and urgent episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim challenges listeners to confront a critical question: Which part of humanity will you fracture into? As the world undergoes rapid change and spiritual divergence, Jim explores the growing split between those who are awakening into higher consciousness and those entrenched in fear, ego, and distraction. Drawing on wisdom from Don Xavier, Nostradamus, and spiritual science, Jim helps frame today’s chaos as not merely political or economic—but vibrational and evolutionary.  Jim discusses how humanity is fracturing into two paths: one aligned with love, light, and soul awareness, and another trapped in fear, density, and the illusions of the 3D world. He speaks directly to the lightworkers, healers, and seekers who sense that something deeper is happening beneath the surface of global events. With clarity and compassion, he reminds us that the path to immunity from chaos begins by raising our frequency—starting from within.  This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels out of place in today’s noisy world. If you’ve ever felt that you were born for more, that your role is to bring light, or that the world doesn’t quite feel like home—this episode will help you see why.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Humanity is Fracturing into Two Paths (02:15) Jim outlines how society is splitting into two distinct energetic realities: one of love and evolution, the other of fear and ego.  Why “Raising Your Frequency” Is the Ultimate Solution (07:35) Learn how raising your inner frequency can protect you from the chaos and lower energies dominating today’s world.  The Role of Sentinels and Sleepwalkers in Human Evolution (13:05) Jim introduces the concepts of sentinels (the awakened) and sleepwalkers (the lost), and invites listeners to identify their path.  What Nostradamus Got Right About Our Current World (22:40) Explore prophetic insights from Nostradamus, including the “inversion ritual” and the rise of metal tongues—an eerie foreshadowing of modern digital life.  How to Raise Your Frequency Through Thought and Emotion (31:20) Jim breaks down the path from thought to feeling to frequency and why managing emotions is essential to spiritual growth.  The Children of the Divide and the Second Dawn (41:00)  Discover how younger generations—Indigo and crystalline children—are ushering in the next era of higher consciousness and soulful living.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  We are not waiting for the shift—it’s already happening. Humanity is evolving, and with it, the vibrational split between fear and love is widening. You are here for a reason. You are not lost, and you are not alone. You are a sentinel, a light bearer, a guardian of higher truth. Your path is not to fight the darkness, but to stand so fully in your light that darkness cannot persist. Remember: the greatest rebellion is joy. The strongest shield is peace. And the most radical act is to raise your frequency and lead with love.  Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  As I was thinking about this week’s episode and what I wanted to share I had an epiphany: I have tons of things to share with you sitting right on my desk. For decades I have taken notes when talking to my brother-in-law, the shaman. Over the years I’ve gone through the notes and taken an inventory of myself and my own growth and often I add to the notes with my own assessment of self-growth. As I was thinking about this week’s episode I had a stack of notes on my desk that are simply personal notes to myself and I thought, “Why don’t I share this with people?” The podcast is never contrived or orchestrated in any way others than to serve you and perhaps give you food for thought, and when I had this idea earlier I decided to just share with you some of the bullets from my personal notes. The thoughts I share this week have been life-changing for me and I think you’ll also find value. I could give the bullet points I talk about here in this write-up but that ruins all the fun of new discovery, so, listen to this week’s episode and I’m curious so to whether or not you like the impromptu format of this episode. The general theme this week is random thoughts regarding spiritual responsibility for our lives and our personal evolution. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  What you’re in agreement with is what you’re in alignment with. Mentioned Resources: Episode 2: Who Are You And What Is Your Identity?

Start Your Transformation Now  Are you unknowingly trapped in a mental cage, mistaking endurance for strength? In this episode, Jim Fortin shares a powerful metaphor inspired by a real-life conversation that challenges the way we think about resilience, struggle, and healing. Through the story of James, a man battling cancer, Jim explores the difference between truly healing and simply enduring—and how many of us are doing the latter in our own lives without even realizing it.  Jim dives deep into the concept of the “lion’s cage”—a mental construct where we fight, struggle, and endure without seeking liberation. Whether it’s money, health, or relationships, many people are stuck in survival mode, believing that fighting harder is the path to success. But what if the real answer is learning to let go, rewire your subconscious beliefs, and finally walk out of the cage?  If you’re tired of feeling stuck, fighting the same battles, and not seeing progress, this episode is the wake-up call you need to finally break free.    What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  (01:05) The Story of James and the Lion’s Cage How one man’s battle with illness reveals the difference between surviving and truly healing.  (05:40) The Subconscious Trap of Endurance  Why a “positive mindset” isn’t enough—and how subconscious beliefs silently keep us stuck.  (14:43) Why Fighting Weakens You  Jim unpacks a quote from Mother Teresa to show why resistance only strengthens what we resist.  (16:17) The Real Way Out of the Cage  What it takes to stop running, open up to new possibilities, and break free from mental traps.  (21:42) You Don’t Know What You Think You Know  A humbling and freeing reminder that awareness, not knowledge, is the first step to transformation.  (29:00) The True Price of Freedom  It costs nothing but your willingness to change—and everything if you don’t.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  The lion’s cage is an illusion—one built by years of conditioning, false beliefs, and a refusal to question what you think you know. You may believe you’re strong for enduring, but true strength lies in walking away from the fight altogether. You don’t have to keep running. The moment you realize that your current thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs are the very things keeping you trapped, is the moment you unlock the door. Nothing changes until you change. So, ask yourself: What price are you willing to pay to be free?    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn    LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  I KNOW you’ve heard it a bazillion times, you know, something along the lines of “You are the creator of your life,” etc…etc, blah, blah. Well, it’s true and the $64,000 question you should be asking yourself is this: “If it’s true then how come I don’t have everything I want in life?” The reason you don’t have all that you want is because, the conundrum, you are the creator of your life. Better said, you’re full of self-deception, self-illusion and full of mental toxicity…even if you don’t yet recognize it. Being a BEing of consciousness and energy you go through your days absorbing everything you see, hear and experience. And, because you do this, you absorb toxicity and don’t know it. The unfortunate thing is that this toxicity is actually what keeps you from what you want in life. I have to admit, what I’m going to suggest in this episode can be a lifetime growth process for most of us, however, it’s a higher stage of evolution for all of us and it helps you create the life experience you want in this lifetime. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your life is your life because of you.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this powerful conversation, Jim sits down with Cathy Heller—author, speaker, spiritual teacher, and host of the “Abundant Ever After” podcast—to explore how abundance isn’t something we chase; it’s something we receive. Cathy opens up about her journey from emotional hardship and scarcity to spiritual clarity and profound wealth, and how Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah, and deep soul work have helped shape her reality. Together, they share wisdom on tuning into divine energy, healing past wounds, and becoming a vessel for true abundance.  Cathy shares deeply personal stories, including how a spontaneous trip to Jerusalem led her to a rabbi who helped rewire her understanding of purpose and abundance. They discuss the shame we carry around money, why spiritual fulfillment is the true foundation of prosperity, and how being unapologetically authentic can create a ripple effect of healing. If you’ve ever felt “too much” or struggled with your worthiness to receive, this episode offers a transformational perspective.  This conversation is both soulful and practical, reminding us that we’re here not to “fit in,” but to stand out. You’ll walk away feeling empowered to plug into your own divine outlet and reframe how you think about money, self-worth, and your soul’s assignment.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  (02:16) Why Cathy Held Back Her Truth at First Cathy explains why she was initially hesitant to talk openly about her beliefs and how leaning into her spiritual roots transformed her voice and work.  (10:00) Her Mystical Experience in Jerusalem That Changed Everything A spontaneous class in the Old City led to years of mentorship and soul expansion—and it completely reshaped Cathy’s life and purpose.  (21:41) Why Abundance Isn’t About Money—It’s About Frequency Cathy shares the real reason she wrote Abundant Ever After and how to “tune” your inner receiver to align with divine abundance.  (34:06) Depression vs. Purpose—A Life-Changing Truth A deeply moving reflection on Cathy’s mother’s depression and what it taught her about how purpose—not happiness—is the antidote to despair.  (48:43) The “Breaker Panel” Metaphor for Receiving More in Life Learn why your nervous system might be short-circuiting your desires—and how to rewire your capacity to receive.  (55:28) What You Can Give, Even When You’re Broke Cathy illustrates that abundance isn’t measured in money—it’s measured in presence, energy, and intention.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your ability to receive is directly linked to your belief in your own worthiness. As Cathy reminds us, abundance isn’t something “out there”—it’s something you tune into by remembering that your soul is infinite, generous, and already enough. Whether it’s a smile, a compliment, or a moment of true presence, you always have something of value to give—and the more you give, the more you open yourself up to receive. True wealth starts with recognizing the light within and letting it shine.  Mentioned Resources: 📖 Abundant Ever After (Book by Cathy Heller) Connect with her: 🌐 Website 📸 Instagram Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
