#130 - Learning from Legends with Alex Petkas

Understand the 3 Human Dilemma’s: God, Money and Sex: GOD Last episode we began a discussion of the 3 human dilemma’s: God, Money and Sex. As we discussed I cover these in depth and detail in my latest book by the same title: God,  Money and Sex. We really encourage you to grab a copy as it covers many issues that must be understood in today’s turbulent times. In fact, not only do we suggest that these are the dilemmas that have caused us to be where we currently are. We also cover in specific detail how we can escape from the chaos into a new realm of order. Obviously, we won’t be able to cover this topic in depth here like we do in the book but let’s discuss one important principle in relation to God...

Join us for an insightful discussion with expert Jeremy Ryan Slate on the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire. From Glory to Dust. Once the beacon of civilization with unmatched military might, engineering marvels, and cultural richness, its rise symbolized human achievement. Yet, internal decay, corruption, and external pressures led to its inevitable fall, reminding us that even the mightiest can crumble. Sound familiar?

Our world is quite chaotic right now. That’s inarguable. But what has gotten us to this point? I’ve been on this planet for 66 years and there has never been a time like this. If you’ve been here the same or a smaller number of years I know the same can be said by you. It appears that we are at war. Not just globally, but internally. But the real war we are fighting is not with planes, drones, bombs, bioweapons and guns. The true war we are fighting is a spiritual war—and every great tradition has talked about it and predicted it. We submit these are the times of which we’ve all been told for thousands of years; and have been predicted by all great spiritual traditions and prophets. On the surface it appears to be nation against nation. Democrat versus Republican. Liberal versus Conservative. Capitalism and Democracy against Marxism and Communism. But these are all the effects of something bigger, wider and deeper…

We’ve been discussing the various aspects of your community: who you want them to be, who you must be for them to want you as a community member, and today, Where must you be to meet these people? Here’s a fact: people with same values, principles and virtues tend to frequent the same places: Gyms (patriots) Churches Synagogues Restaurants Grocery stores Social events Clubs—not nightclubs but speaking clubs, rotary clubs, etc. Networking events There are probably more but that gives you a good start. Once you have come up with these places, the next step is to devise an action plan, based upon the most leveraged ideas you’ve come up with, to schedule yourself time to get out to these places…

Define the Qualities You Must Possess to have the people you want in your community be attracted to you when you meet them. We’ve been discussing the empowering or disempowering capabilities of your community. We’re pretty sure this is not news to you. Most have heard all the memes, and it just makes common sense—unfortunately it’s just not commonly used. If you haven’t seen our previous episodes on this topic, we strongly recommend you catch up on them—they lay a lot of ground work for this one. We discussed in the last episode specific strategies for choosing your community. This cannot be haphazard, and it will not automatically include your family and friends. In fact, if you’re building your community correctly, choosing family and friends could be incredibly disempowering.

Define the Qualities and Characteristics of Your Ideal Community We discussed in the last episode that your community is not as simple and straightforward as it initially appears. Just as a reminder: It’s not as simple as family and friends. Community is not automatically defined as: family (either nuclear or extended), childhood friends, business associates, or college alumni. As the Christ stated and was quoted: (He) said unto them, my mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God and do it.

You’re here to make a difference.  Complex, powerful, and true things most often disrupt the controlling narrative and social norm. Here is something that is antithetical to conventional wisdom. You are not sent here to make friends; you are sent here to make a difference. Nowhere has the friendly, loving, all we need is unity message been more propagated than in personal development and most all spiritual arenas. But if you really study your Bible the Christian prophet stated “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. ~ Matthew 10:34

Run from what's comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I'll be mad. ~ Rumi When Rumi speaks about being mad, he’s not talking about being angry. He’s talking about being “insane” by the standard measure of the world. What the world considers sanity is actually in many, if not most, cases, not that sane. So, to be considered “insane” by the worlds standards may just be the most sane thing you can do…
