What do you use to define your value to yourself and this world?

Have you ever considered the life-altering power that words hold over our reality? Join me, Blaire Stanislao and Justin Wood, as we unravel the profound vibrations of language and their impact on self-perception. Together, we explore the importance of teaching children about the potency of words early in life to cultivate self-awareness and independence. By dissecting labels and their potential to create misconceptions, we discuss the duality of human experiences and utilize tools like astrology and human design to aid in our journey toward a more compassionate and truthful world.

We are all interconnected through love, even amidst societal divisions. By reconnecting with this love, we can transform our lives and heal from personal traumas, much like overcoming addiction. Through raw personal stories, we discuss how self-love stands as a powerful healing force, encouraging us to face our fears and move beyond societal labels. This narrative serves as a guide to navigate life's difficult experiences and use them as educational tools to foster genuine connections with others, ultimately leading to a more authentic existence.

Humanity is on the cusp of a global awakening, as individuals reconnect with their true selves and challenge societal structures of fear and control. In our quest for authenticity, we emphasize the power of love and truth as catalysts for change.

Blaire Stanislao:

Hello, this is Blair Stanislao with the Happy Lion Center. Welcome to our podcast Mystical and Infamous, where we have playful and easy conversations about anything mystical, getting to the heart of all things, strange and weird. Join us in a bit of magical tomfoolery, spreading the alchemy of love and light. And now we invite you to enjoy the show.

Justin Wood:

And they come with a frequency right, like words are spells, they are vibrations. I mean, I wrote some children's books and one of the books is the Power of Words and I think that we should be taught that at a very young age how much power are inside of words, and not only to each other but to ourselves. I mean, how much of a conversation are we having in our mind in that language is towards ourselves. So if we don't understand that, you know the words like hate and I can't like our limited belief systems that create a reality to hold us back. I mean, geez, like we. We've got to be having these conversations and sharing this education because it can really set us up for success in this life in another way, like another idea of success, something that has us become sovereign, you know, and independent within our own thinking and feeling and not have to have that come externally or be validated externally from us.

Blaire Stanislao:

Yeah, I didn't really think about that too much until even really just last five or 10 years where I noticed I mean I guess I noticed other things when I was younger, like I would have friends, parents, who I would go over to their house or they'd be worried about their kid, like, oh, is my child going to do this, that bad behavior, or whatever. And then they'd say, oh, no, they're with blair, it's fine. And I was like, okay, I don't know about, but it did have to do with that same kind of thing there. I somehow I know when to say something and when you just don't say something. It's like picking words is extremely important.

Blaire Stanislao:

Um, greg brayden has a thing I don't know if you've heard this, but um, he has a little blurb. I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but he, he talks about some tribe somewhere, I'm guessing, in Africa, and they have, like I don't know, 25 different words for the color I don't remember it's green or blue, one or the other. They don't have a name for the other color, either green or blue or the other. They don't have a name for the other color, either green or blue. And so, and then their dynamic of what their culture is like is completely changed by that. So you're talking about words like hate or I don't know what you want to call I mean even even the word racist or any you know.

Justin Wood:

Any kind of insightful word does stir things up within people and it could be really eliminated if that was not used yeah, I think that just understanding I I don't know if we like eliminating them is a good idea, because I think we, we knowing both sides is very important. I think you know like everything has harmony and balance, just like when people leave their kids with you, they don't think anything about it. It's because you're balanced is because you, you know the negative side of things and you know the positive side of things and you also know when and where to use those things. So I think it is important to have a good understanding of of both sides. But I do understand what you're saying.

Justin Wood:

You know like we can reshape the way we are using words and the way we are using labels. I mean labels is such a detriment to society and to mankind because we throw a label on something and we have no idea what that is. But we've heard of this label. You know, take addiction or homelessness. You know we can meet someone and you can introduce them and say they're homeless, homelessness. You know we can meet someone and you can introduce them and say they're homeless. Well, immediately you think jail, drug, addict, untrustworthy, disrespectful. You know, watch your stuff like insecurities are all arising all out of this label and meanwhile you know, you might have someone in front of you who's been physically or sexually abused their whole life and they've just been victimized by an immense amount of trauma that they've held themselves in because they haven't been given the tools and the education on how to process it. Like, that's what a label can do, and I think that if we're able to really use words in another way to describe the truth, this world could be very different.

Blaire Stanislao:

I totally agree. So what we're touching on here is duality.

Justin Wood:

Yes, different I totally agree.

Blaire Stanislao:

So what we're touching on here is duality, yes, and the spectrum. Um, I don't, we don't. I mean, this is the first time we've met, so I don't know. I'm just gonna throw some stuff out there and you can do whatever.

Blaire Stanislao:

So I recently have been um diving a little into human design and I actually studied, started studying astrology in 2016. Didn't really know why, but I was like completely interested in it and couldn't get enough of it and so forth. Um, I now know, like it's in your chart, to be able to do that, but I really felt recently like now I know the more of the real reason why I got into astrology is because it was a back is background information for human design and in human design which is similar or connected to the gene keys, they have these numbers that are associated with a spectrum very similar to what you're talking about. So, like one of uh, I think it's my personality, son. Um, they're two. They call them gates as well, so there's two and oh, two ends and they're kind of like in a way. They're kind of opposites. They're not really opposites, but they're similar to opposites.

Blaire Stanislao:

So mine is like 40 and 37. So 40 is is about going inward and and regenerating by being alone. Okay, so in other words, I need time to myself, like this is a huge part of who I am and who I project to the world. And then the other end of the spectrum is embracing community, like family, like the new family, not necessarily what your blood family is, but the people around you. So I go back and forth between those two and that's what happens as people go through those gates. But, in terms of it, I also want to touch on, like you were talking about choosing the specific words and there is a limitation with language. So how do you get around the limitation of language to really talk about the ideas? We were just talking about that before I hit record a little bit, but Well, the avenue around a limited set of words is action.

Justin Wood:

Actions always speak louder than words and they are a language what you do. You may not have all of the words that you need to describe what you want to say, so just do what you want to do. You know what I mean. Say, say what you mean and mean what you say and do what you say Like I mean. That's, that's the the main thing about it.

Justin Wood:

I think all of us can be really held by our actions in this life. Words are kind of a limited way of talking about things, because there's many things that have a lot of power within them that really don't, you know, demand such action. And something that comes to mind is religion. You know, like religion is filled with words, but all of religion was built off of one man's actions. Let's talk Christianity for the sake of having a conversation. Or even Buddhism. I mean Buddhism was built around one man's action Buddha. You know we have Allah within the Muslim teachings.

Justin Wood:

You know they're all built off of an individual's actions, yet they seem to come with so many words to describe a very simplistic experience, and one that we all have the capability of acting in our own way in our own life, because I don't believe we need followers in this life. I think we need leaders. But I think the reason we lack leaders in this life is because we lack an example of what we can lead our lives by. You know, you look at the youth and people today. They're just so misled by what this idea of success is Celebrity money, ceo materialism. You know these work, work, work, be busy all the time. It's just an illusion or it's just a one-sided perspective. But then you have this huge thing called religion that many, many, many, many, many people are attracted to. Yet the whole fundamental of religion is to take action in your life to help your brothers and sisters and to remove judgment and not to live in fear but to live in love. Yet society's translation of those words is very different from their action.

Blaire Stanislao:

Yes and well, and, and, depending on where you live, that religion is not necessarily mandated, right or it's. It's not one religion, but um, but my thought about that is like it is about action, but it's more like almost like the feeling is a huge part of it.

Justin Wood:

So what do you think the sole purpose is of life in general? Love, it's love, it's love and it's connection. That is the purpose, because we are all one and we are all one and and we're all part of this, this same collective. Um, we're just individualistic within an experience, so we're all broken apart from the same thing, but the thing is love. It's that, the source is love. This is what we find within all of us, which is why, when many of us come together over one common interest, we can see the pieces of love all come back together, which is why there's a great demand for us to be divided within who we are and what we believe we can do.

Justin Wood:

I mean, we're being misled to think that we're different, based on culture, based on language, based on religion, based on color, and it's all an illusion because everything is from an external representation, when really what we are is beyond this. We're beyond the size and the color and the language and the culture and the. What we are is beyond this. We're beyond the size and the color and the language and the culture and the tradition. Everything is the light within, if the light within has been taught how to love and understand what love is in that shared connection to other pieces of love.

Justin Wood:

The world changes, everything changes, so the sole purpose is for all those pieces of love to remember that, to remember where they come from and to move through the density of the energies of the difficult experiences. Many people are just held back by the inability to be seen or to be heard or to find value within their story of, you know, maybe being brought up poor or their mother left or their father left, or they weren't loved. So they hide from that story and they create an identity that they display to other people, that has other people accept them for that identity, not their true, authentic selves, which is where we disconnect from ourselves to begin with. So our purpose begins with us navigating our difficult experiences and really finding the education within it to share with other people and that connects us to love and to each other. It really helps us find what's really meaningful in this life, not money and materialism and these labels that society places on us. It's actually within our story. It's it's all the education that comes with it so interesting.

Blaire Stanislao:

You said that about essentially we're separating we we as all one separate parts of ourselves to then remember that we are one again right through. What you're saying is through the lens of love, which I agree to. But let's speak a little bit, because I think you probably have some experience of this working through those traumas, because a lot of times people will. I just talked to a friend yesterday who I think it was yesterday within the last two days who is at a really really or was at a really really low place because she just realized some of the experiences that she had in life that were extremely horrible. She had completely blocked them out of her memory. She was actually shown this stuff in a dream and they were really horrible. She had completely blocked them out of her memory. She was actually shown this stuff in that dream and they were really horrible things.

Blaire Stanislao:

Now I don't know what your experience is, but my experience is is, if the person is not really ready to see whatever they won't get shown it Like, they just won't see it. So just the utter fact that she actually saw that in her dream, what was happening, is a testimony to how brave she is and how ready her soul is to work through those traumas. But in that moment of it feels like it's right before you have the breakthrough. But that moment of pain or it feels like torture or whatever you want to call it right before you start to get to that recognition, either of oneness or love or whatever is your next step. What is your experience with that? The moment of I almost feel like it could be represented in if you're addicted to drugs and this particular drug has this very dramatic withdrawal process, almost like that withdrawal process where, like, you feel like you're physically dying and with a drug it might be actually a physical experience, but it doesn't always have to be that. It's almost like that for trauma anywhere.

Justin Wood:

Yeah, of course, as an individual who did experience 23 years of using heroin and all the drugs and like 16 years with the needle, you know, I mean, I know all about withdrawal, but withdrawal was at the time a very difficult teacher, but now it's a very wonderful teacher to me because you're exactly right within your example Humans that are not using opiates or drugs that demand them to be used. What the body is reacting to is a disconnection from love. So, like this is the power of love we think as humans, like love comes from another individual as a feeling. And yes, of course we can share love with another individual, but we cannot share love with another individual authentically, honestly and openly. But we cannot share love with another individual authentically, honestly and openly unless we first understand what it means to love ourselves. And this is where we feel these emotional body responses to trauma. So the body is stuck in fight or flight mode and it's because of this our nervous system is obstructed. So the calibration that can take place with using the energy of love, like with through self love and self care applications, it is the medicine we all possess, the medicine you don't need to get these synthetics externally from us, like the healthcare system dictates that they have our best interests at hand, when in reality, what that does is it obstructs the vibrational frequency. To even heal the body like have the body heal itself, because we possess everything that we need, we just really have to understand how to use it.

Justin Wood:

So you know, with myself, for example, um, you know I, I woke up from a 23 year journey in a jail cell because I surrendered my life to. I surrendered my life to Jesus is what happened. But the interesting thing with those words again with words came great intention. I was homeless for years and I just, I'd lost everything. I was homeless for years and you know I just I'd lost everything. I wasn't a bad guy, I wasn't a bad person, I just didn't love myself and I didn't have the language for that. So I had lost love. I'd lost my children, I'd lost, you know, a couple of women that I was with, the houses, the materialism. I lost everything because what happened was is I lost myself. Now you don't have to be a drug addict, you don't have to be homeless to lose yourself. Many, many, many people are losing themselves and we call this mental health. So mental health is a wonderful label to just really put people inside of boxes and prescribe the medication for a disconnection to love, because we don't talk about love in this life. But I was so grateful to speak those words.

Justin Wood:

I surrender my life to Jesus, but what I did was I aligned with the frequency of love? It never dictated me to go and study the Bible and go to church and preach scripture on the street. What it showed me was that my action would speak louder than words, and I had an example of how I could lead my life. So the only thing I really took from that entire experience of surrendering my life to Jesus was to look at Jesus as an example. And here I knew there was a man who didn't have nothing. He wasn't a king, he wasn't this living in this castle somewhere. He was a man with nothing, but he cultivated this thing within himself that he could go into places with less and where there were sick people and he could heal them using his energy. So that was something that I could comprehend and I could understand.

Justin Wood:

So for the first time in my life, I had understood what love and peace could do if I was willing to become a student on how to learn it. So in that jail cell, that day, I became a student of love, and that was almost five years ago. And it has been my pursuit to understand like this application of love. And today, here we are like five years later I have two companies, I have a beautiful wife, I you know, I have all of these wonderful things, but the thing I'm most proud about is is the love that I have for myself, because I took action to understand tools like boundaries, forgiveness, gratitude, honesty, authenticity. These are the tools that we need to really navigate our trauma and see them from a place of happening for us rather than to us, and that's a big one that people get lost in the blame and victim mentality, which I can appreciate. It's something that society dictates as an acceptable measure of avoidance.

Blaire Stanislao:

Right, but I think we're in a culture of. I mean, I've never lived in the East like Eastern world, so I don't know completely about that, I know a little bit about it, but at least in the Western world we have this culture of going outward, and I would venture to say that you had. What you just shared with us is an experience of, yes, okay, you use the substance, right, but you use the substance, I'm guessing, to disconnect. Whether you were conscious of it or not, you're trying to disconnect, and part of that was feelings that you didn't enjoy. They weren't pleasant, and I would venture to say that, to be honest, it doesn't really even require a drug, because I see people constantly looking outside of themselves to find exactly what you were talking about.

Blaire Stanislao:

I know a teenager who is dating somebody, and this person that she is dating is kind of always reaching out for this. It feels like it's clingy to her, but it's very obvious that they're reaching out for love, right, like they're reaching out for affirmation. They're reaching out to understand that they are okay, and and that's where I think, at least in relationships, you wind up having those issues is if you've got somebody who is very close to themselves and does understand that inner love, and then you've got somebody who's kind of at least on some level looking for that validation outward. You don't have a two whole. The way I've heard it described is you don't have two whole beings coming together to experience life together. The way I've heard it described is you don't have two whole beings coming together to experience life together. You have one who might be whole and then one who's still looking on the outside, and so it was always clinging to these things that are outside themselves but yet if they turn around inside they'll find it Right.

Justin Wood:

Right, but they've not been given the tools in the education which is, which is why they have the podcast.

Blaire Stanislao:

That's what it's to put it out there.

Justin Wood:

Right, exactly, and that's why I started mine as well and that's why I did drugs, and I mean this is why we have codependency. Like drugs is not a problem, like being addiction is not the problem. Addiction is a solution to a problem.

Blaire Stanislao:

Yeah, yes, yep.

Justin Wood:

Like that's. It's not a negative. We don't need to it any more negative than it already is, but the reality of the situation is always the truth. So where does the truth lie? Where did the attachment begin to become curated within one's life? And for me, I, in my family, like families all over the world, we do not talk about how we feel and it's not that I didn't come from a wonderful family, because I did but my parents were never given the tools of how to love themselves and communicate about that, so they couldn't teach me something they didn't know, because my grandparents never taught them that our generational trauma that we all carry is an inability to love ourselves and to avoid communicating about how we feel, which is why 80% of homes are experiencing mental health and addiction and almost 80% of people are medicated in some form, way or or, or some some way or shape or form. And and that reality just really dictates something is very, very wrong. But it's not this big global problem. It's, it's a personal problem. So, if we are able to find solutions to these problems by offering the tools and the education that those of us who have experienced these same detriments but found and used love as a tool to alchemize these difficult experiences. I mean, this is it and this is what we're showing up for.

Justin Wood:

And a lot of people right now are experiencing these shifts, like you were talking about, your friend with this dream. Um, there's an awakening happening, like there, there is absolutely an awakening happening and it can't be stopped, no matter what anyone tries to do to try and avoid it. You can't it it's. It's light, penetrating the light body, which is the vessel. So it's it's bringing in information that recalibrate a nervous system and a connection to source. This is just the evolutionary process. We've not come here to this planet to retire and pay taxes. You came here to have all of the pieces of this thing called God. I don't like to say God, but like this source of love, let's say the source of love to come all back together.

Justin Wood:

This is what we're doing, but we have to do that within ourselves first, so that we know the importance of connecting with our brothers and sisters around us, because we're all part of the same whole. So when you have codependency issues in so many different formats, it's more so an attachment issue you look at like shopping or food or video games, social media, porn, reading, work, alcohol, drugs, nicotine, coffee pick one, they're all the same. It's all the same. It's there to be used in a form to distract an individual from having an ability to process a feeling on the inside because they lack the language. So these things, externally from us, have become solutions. But now, like you say, in these podcasts and individuals that have learned how to speak their truth, we're bringing the truth into what these substances and these attachments are actually doing to us. So you know, we're we're seeing a great awakening within people that were living very difficult lives, which is beautiful. It's a beautiful time.

Blaire Stanislao:

It is. And actually you know, you, you touched on something. So as we talk about this, it gives me great hope it always has, because I kind of had known this for a very long time. But how does that change the world? Like, I can remember being a teacher and I had great hope in the years that I taught with those children because, of course, like every generation, their brains work differently than the generations before, like they utilize different parts of their brain, and so as we gradually stop a lot of people call it programming stop teaching them.

Blaire Stanislao:

This is how you do it and you know you've got to use your mind for everything, and so forth. As they start to kind of become less programmed and they start to live in their heart, then we have adults who are better able to live in their heart and make their decisions from their heart. That turns out to be is a society of adults who are grounded and centered in that love, take steps forward from there and their relationships are better. The things they produce are helpful to not only themselves but society and humanity as a whole, and I think that's where there is hope for the future, whereas if we were to stay in the old programming like what our parents or our grandparents were to teach us the way that they operated not out of the heart, not with those tools that you're talking about then, yeah, we're going to create the world that you know. Sometimes the news presents as doom and gloom and this is.

Justin Wood:

You know, all this is bad, that kind of thing then says doom and gloom, and this is, you know, all this is bad, that kind of thing. It is because we have people, you know, avoiding their truth and afraid to be their authentic selves. And I think that any society that's built out of fear, with this, you know, looming, overview of an entity, an organization that kind of can control that fear through. Overview of an entity, an organization that kind of can control that fear through, you know, organizations and establishments we'll just call them that for the sake of the podcast. But you know, you kind of look at that for what it is and you go, wow, like why is fear so normal within our society? Well, because if you're afraid, you can be controlled. Yes, you can be controlled, and these practices of life through the generations have been crumbling each generation a little bit and a little bit more, because we start to see the reality of what's actually transpiring.

Justin Wood:

I mean, you have companies and organizations that are using money as a way to control and dominate mankind, when in reality, money is just a fictitious source. The only thing that allows it to have any value is a belief system. There's a belief system curated inside of people to say this fictitious thing, this little piece of paper is worth this much, and the human life that doesn't have this little piece of paper that is worth this much is actually worth less. This organic, physical being that was born into poverty and had no hope, just because of its you know circumstances and demographic, I mean it's worth less. So I'm going to have you indoctrinated into this belief system, which is what the education system does, and you know it's.

Justin Wood:

It's really. It's hard to carry on that, that education that our parents try to put into us. It's like, actually, you know what. That's not true. That's, that's not good for people, and I actually don't think it's right for a baby that is born of poverty to not have any food or access to education based on these fictitious, you know, pieces of paper, like you know. So it really changing the world is is always been happening within us. It's just our truth. It's our truth and our connection to love. That is our true power. Yet again, when we we talk about these, these control measures of fear, um, that's, they work very well like they. They do, it's true and it's almost like.

Blaire Stanislao:

It's almost like the. Um, what do you call that finger handcuff thing like?

Blaire Stanislao:

chinese finger yeah, the more you tighter it gets, and I've thought about this a lot. So the money thing, I totally am. I mean even. It even goes in religion, like you know, or government, or whatever you want to call it. There's like, okay, there are people who are let's put a quote at the top. Right, they're at the top of the organization and they like being at the top, they like the power, they like whatever, and so they're going to continue to perpetuate this belief structure around money has value. You know, you don't have freedom unless you do. We protect you or whatever. It is right. They're going to continue to perpetuate that because it keeps them there.

Blaire Stanislao:

So if we can get the people who are in those positions to connect with the message of love, then we have to. We're going to have. I think what we'll have is like mass changes throughout the world. Because if, if a leader is able to go into that space of self-love and project that out to other people, then there's a sense of safety. Others can kind of get into their, their heart space and kind of live from that place.

Blaire Stanislao:

But but that's the interesting key is like, how are we? I'm really interested to see how this is going to play out. How does it? How do we go from this paradigm of these little people, pieces of paper or some kind of value based on something, and all of these structures around? What makes you valuable, what makes you not valuable? And there is a time I feel like we can see it actually evolve into becoming more of humanity. And this is also in the gene keys and the human design and I don't remember which one it is but there's this concept that you know, letting go and operating from the heart space. For someone who is not able to do that or is not familiar with it is really scary, because what if things aren't organized? But in reality, if you really just led from the heart space, you'll find that there is complete organization. There is complete, there's structure that things will flow and things will work.

Justin Wood:

The most important thing there is when we're leading from the heart, space is balance, and you don't really have to worry about chaos externally from you because you're recalibrating the chaos within. So when we operate from balance, we find ourselves in communities and environments and in conversations that are balanced because we understand this frequency within ourselves. So the fear will cause chaos within the nervous system and within the mind to believe that nothing can be organized because we are not organized within ourselves. So this living from the open heart centeredness really comes from an understanding of balance, and we really have to have the light and the dark, or the difficult experiences and the blessings to calibrate that balance and have a perspective of both. It's very important, just like with words. That being said, we need not look to the leaders that are currently in place as they live from an egotistical standpoint, and the amount of work that it would take to undo a lifetime of being told that you're more and then you're better and that money is the power tool of control that we are in possession of, is a long process, one that an individual can move through at its own speed, with its willingness.

Justin Wood:

But where we're moving in this new earth is looking to indigenous cultures, indigenous teachings. So we have indigenous teachings that can help us organize communities and live back on a land-based model. Now, that doesn't mean that we won't use modern technology, but it doesn't come in the format of these computers and the cell phones, which are completely detrimental to mankind. It comes more so in harnessing free energy from the earth and using the energy of the atmosphere to grow an abundance of food that is clean and free from GMO, and we curate the nature as we tap back into our connection with it and we understand it's just like the movie Avatar that we are so connected to this source, this frequency, this energy that is right under our feet and provides this beautiful thing called life that we as a whole are able to thrive. And we don't like. These systems are just defective. They only keep a small number of people in power and the rest of us, you know, under its thumb. But that's changing, like this is, we're moving out of it.

Blaire Stanislao:

This time is very difficult, but it's so beautiful yeah, it is really, uh, inspiring, I think, and it's it leads to a lot of hope.

Blaire Stanislao:

I think, yeah, if people can see past which I think is one of the reasons why pretty much everybody's on this path stops watching the news, because that's where those programs are just like. That is just like beating it into your head. And even as a person who's on this path, when I go out into the world and I'm around other people who maybe, maybe they're not on this path or whatever they don't get it Right it's it is still sometimes very hard to be like, okay, well, let me tell you this thing, and you know, there's this huge fear of, I think a lot of people experience where you're going to be called crazy. I mean, that's a legitimate fear because within the structure there is a potential. I mean, I have known people I have you see it in movies like you get labeled some kind of mental disability or mental condition and they're going to look you up, you know, and then you have no ability, and if they feed you with drugs it's even worse. So they're very real fears.

Justin Wood:

But we have examples like, let's say I'll take one that most people can understand it's like John Lennon. You know, like John Lennon was killed for his action. The man was creating a movement, regardless of what we saw, with a man shooting, him reading JD Salinger's book like the Catcher in the Rye. Sure, that's a narrative that was created, but the reality of the situation is John Lennon was creating a movement. People were beginning to stand up against the military based on a man's actions, through his words. So we all have the same ability to become these examples. So I look to these guys like this, you know, that are willing to step out of line, you know, and really take back their sovereign entity and stand in that and stand for what you believe in. But it doesn't come through the avenues of aggression, intimidation and violence. You know you become an example of love and you know I'll walk into some rooms, like I mean, I work with addicts here all the time on the street and I can walk into some very dark areas. But because I have this love for myself, it changes the room, it changes the area, because it's infectious, because we are vibrations and frequencies. So if we can curate this within us, somebody who might call you crazy. You walk into a room and they see you and they see your example. They might go. They're, they're lost for words because that word doesn't have any value, it's not valid anymore. They can't call it that because they're like what the hell does this guy have? That happens to me all the time. Like what, how do you have this thing? Which is why we're starting to create this six week courses.

Justin Wood:

Uh, myself, through my difficult experience in my alchemization of my um densities, my my dense emotional misunderstanding, into this beautiful transition of light. Uh, I've got like eight other people that have same kind of stories, different, all within their not all addiction, because it's not all addiction, right, it's so many different things mental health, physical abuse, sexual abuse, trauma in so many different forms. So I've got like 10 people that are all coming in and all of us are throwing our best tools in there, everything that we have that helped us overcome and alchemize these very difficult experiences and live authentically in this, this place of love. We're going to give it to people. So this is what we're, we're working on right now.
