Ep. 85: Why Are We Here? What is Reality?

How do the consciously awakened people of this world fight back against oppression, fear and control in this technology-heavy world we live in?  Do we need a revolution to take back our freedom from tyranny?  A revolution in the classical sense would be easily overrun by the military industrial complex. So how do we fight back?  A revolution in consciousness!!! Join us as we welcome our newest Co-Host BEN CARROLL for his official first episode hosting the podcast! This conversation being one of many rabbit holes we dove down in our previous episode with Ben!

We are diving back into ONENESS! Today we are talking about the “plate of life” and how You can pick anything you want off the buffet to fill your plate, but you can’t go back for more until you finish it. The life cycles we go through often reinforce this premise, and it’s sometimes hard to clear the plate. But once we do we find that we’re in an amazingly unique opportunity from where we were with the full plate and things often start to come our way.

The April 8th eclipse is a day many people have been looking forward to for quite some time. Some look forward in anticipation to watch nature’s spectacular Light show! Others are worried about the end of the world. With NASA firing 3 rockets that day to create atmospheric sounds, naming the project APEP (the serpent deity Of Egypt- the equivalent to the devil) as well as the CERN large hadron collider firing up that day, I’d Say there is some cause for a bit of investigation. People should be focused on admiring this amazing event and the symbolism of how this can enhance their lives, not the FEAR based rhetoric that is being circulated. Let’s dive into both polarities and see what comes out! Stay tuned for a YouTube special on Heath’s experience of the day in Northern Vermont In the path of totality, available on the YouTube channel a few days after the eclipse!

This age of human history will unfortunately be known as the age of deception. People in positions of leadership used their influence for person gain, with money being the motivation of that of the general wellbeing of the planet and humankind. There will also be two different types of people who will be remembered at this time as well. Those who knew of the deception, were open minded and used critical thinking to challenge the status quo’s- even in the face of ridicule and destruction. And then there will be everyone else. Everyone who locked in step and followed the words of the corrupt, despite evidence to the contrary. Which side will you be remembered for?

THE SEASON 4 FINALE: Two of the most important and mesmerizing words: “WHAT IF” What if we took Complete control of our lives? What if we ditch the mainstream narrative of school, work, death and actually lived our life on our terms. What if we allowed ourselves to dream more? Allow those dreams to come true? When we ask ourselves to ask the questions, and demand an answer- that is a life worth living!

In todays episode have the return of Alexis after a few months away, and this time she brought her friend Jami Clark, who is co hosting an upcoming new podcast called “I’m Bored, What’s Next?”. Today we discuss SPIRITUAL SNOBBERY and how those in leadership roles who are teaching others about religion or spirituality often hold themselves in a higher regard because of their supposed “knowledge”. Heath, Jami and Alexis talk about the trappings of these self-proclaimed “higher perspectives” and how they can Be dangerous ego-traps that can leave you more disconnected from spirituality than heightening your connection. Does having money and material possessions and the desire to be seen as a religious patriarch or guru make you less enlightened? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/livethislife/support

In this episode, Heath takes another deep dive into the Tao Te Ching, and ancient philosophical text from over 2400 years ago. Verse 50 is the focus of this talk, where the author Lao Tzu who wrote the Tao Te Ching, talks about not fearing death during the course of your life. That the worry about death can rob you of the experience of living. Heath applies this to the very busy and dopamine-filled modern lives that we live, and how slowing down can sometimes get us ahead of reaching our goals.

A quote from the Roman Philosopher Marcus Aurelius was the inspiration of this episode. Heath came across this one while watching a speech by Wes Watson on “internal cultivation” of the type of person you want to become and mastering the self. This all on a day when it was needed most, when things weren’t flowing as optimal as they had in the past and it was a rough start to the day- Heath was reminded that it is the WHO is going to cultivate what we want in life- not so much the HOW. We need the straighten ourselves out daily so that one day we end up just being straight; like hardened iron! Join us live on the Wisdom App for live episodes.

Does being spiritual/awakened/enlightened have to be a passive doormat for conflict? If you give someone a taste of their own medicine (disrespect) does that mean you’re no longer in “the club”? Heath responds to a (former) listener who reacted to him telling off an internet troll who was attempting to body-shame him. Having gone through the challenges of the last few decades, he had had enough and let this particular troll have it. This angered the listener to the point where they told Heath they were no longer going to follow the podcast after listening to every single episode, and that Heath “isn’t who they thought he was”. Heath’s response: *tune in to find out* Episode was live recorded on the Wisdom App with two contributors joining in for the conversation: Angelina Frost https://wisdom.app/the-angelina-frost Dr. Delsue Frankson https://wisdom.app/wisdomdelejourney SONG: Yula- Soaring https://open.spotify.com/track/1pE4sDZ6dMtEwC6aBArNGd?si=5g_6lScKRNuGWvYD9M2NVQ Livethislife.org --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/livethislife/support

We are diving back into ONENESS for the start of 2024! In these chapters we are exploring how your intention and expression beyond just the "lip service" of using trendy buzzwords like "world peace" can actually effect the collective of humanity when fully expressed. The civilization that we live in now does not have the luxary of not being aware of what goes on in the world at large. And sometimes our views toward the world (what goes in) is what we get out of the world (what comes out). But when we approach the world with the intention of what we would like to get back out of the world rather than the happenstance of what we see (which therefore comes back to us in our observations and reverberates into more of THAT) we can see that a shift in our intention could be a shift in the reality that we observe.
