Hmm, hey, Happy Hump Day. Wednesday. How are you guys? So we’re planning to do the first ever psychodrama coffin work on June 22 that’s a Sunday. Looks like we’re going to do it at 10 in the morning. So if you’re planning your schedule, you want to come and support it. But I also want to explain the coffin is not just a coffin like anything in this reality. It’s a metaphor for something else. That statement that we use on the flyer, get busy living or get busy dying means a lot to me. What does that mean? You’re either living or dying here there’s so many people that are already in their coffin. They don’t know it. They’re not dead, but they might as well be. So the coffin metaphor is, are you not growing? Do you have an addiction? Are you in a horrible relationship or marriage you don’t want to be in? Or you have a career or a job that is just not feeding your soul? Or you’re resisting change, or you’re resisting taking risks, you know, in some ways, the coffin, to me, is a metaphor for the comfort zone, that’s where souls go to die. And you know, how many people out there are, you know, they like their security and all that. And you know, I shared yesterday on Facebook. I’m almost done reading Mel Robbins book, The let them theory, amazing book. I highly recommend it. Oh my gosh, one of the best books I’ve read ever. And it’s pretty practical information, but it’s full of research and science about why humans are the way we are. We like easy, we like pleasure, we like our comfort. But that’s the body controlling you, as Joe Dispenza talks about, you know, if I listen to my body, I’d probably still be snorting cocaine, or I’d be in jail or probably dead from it, because the body liked it. You know, I got a client now that had the recently had the tummy surgery. You know his stomach is going to shrink because his love for food, especially certain types of food, put him in the coffin. So when we do this work, it’s not just about a coffin. The coffin, I hope you’ve seen the pictures yet. The coffin is cool. We’ve got George the dummy in there now with little mask on when people come in. It looks like awake when you come in our office. But the coffin is also a symbol for you’re not living your life fully. You’re not You’re not doing the things you’re here to do. You know my rabbis that I study, they all talk about, we have a sole purpose. We’re integral parts to this machinery of creation, just like a car engine. You know, certain parts of your engine don’t do their job. The engine don’t work well. Well, look at reality. This reality ain’t working real well, all the greed and lust and gluttony and all these other things out there, because we like it easy. And in Mel Robbins book, she quoted this one addiction counselor psychiatrist. He said, The only way people are going to quit doing their addiction is they’re willing to face the pain of giving it up, and that’s makes so much sense to me. I don’t see people in my office unless they’re in pain. Pain is a great freaking motivator, okay, but a lot of us are just eking out a living. How do you know you’re dead in the coffin already? You have no spark, you have no life. It’s Groundhog Day. Bill Murray, okay, so if you don’t wake up every day and you’re excited about your day and what you’re doing and who you’re living with, and who you associate with, and what you’re going to do this weekend, instead of doing the same thing over and over and over, that hamster wheel, as I call it. So I just wanted to clarify for anybody that’s thinking of doing this work in the future, you need to wake up, get busy living, and that’s what we’re hoping. The coffin does wake people up. We have the delusion that we’re immortal here. No, we’re not. Someday, we’re all going to die, and we know that intellectually, but we don’t know it emotionally. That’s what spurs me on a lot. You know, I, I’ll do it tomorrow. No, I tomorrow’s not promised to me or you or anybody. I’m going to get it done today. I was going to do this video actually tomorrow, because I’m off part. I’m going to work a little bit, but I take Thursdays off now it’s on. No, what if I’m not here tomorrow, do today what you can do, and don’t wait to do it tomorrow. Get out of that relationship that is sucking your life blood away from you. Okay, quit that job that’s not feeding you. Change states if you have to, or countries, whatever it takes. But that takes a lot of courage, that takes a lot of grit to say, You know what I’m here to do, what I’m here to do, and no matter what it is, what it feels like, I’m going to do it. Be willing to do 180, or 360 if you want to go in circles, okay, start all over, because our programming has really screwed us. You know what we were taught as kids, our religious beliefs, society and all that. You know this rabbi, Freeman, one of my favorite rabbis, wrote something recently. I handed it out at the office about don’t let the world tell you who you are. Let your soul tell you who you are, because the world’s got a plan for you. You’re going to be born, you’re going to work till you’re 65 or longer. I’m going on 74 but I love what I do, so I’m not planning to retire. You’re going to have three kids, and you’ll do all these things. That’s what the world wants. That way, it keeps you distracted and busy from doing what you’re really here to do. Because if everybody was doing what they were here to do, in six months, this reality will look so different. The world will be so different. So how many of you are already in your coffin? You don’t even know it. Just be honest with yourself. Are you? Are you making the changes you need to make? Are you getting out of situations you don’t want to be in anymore, or tolerating? Okay? Because if you’re not, you’re in that coffin. You just don’t know it. Your body’s alive, but your soul is just a life support. Alright? Enjoy your day. June 22 I’m doing the Peniel meditation too. Next Wednesday, June 11, and I’m going to do another one. July 9. Get there at 645 if you want to try it. My friend Steve did me a great mitzvah. I can now email people the pineal meditation, the narrated version. So you can do it at home with your phone, and I’ll be narrating the whole thing, what we’re doing together. So keep that in mind, and that’s free. I just don’t like to charge for that stuff. So but June 22 come and see the coffin work. It’s going to be epic. I’m so excited. I wanted to be tomorrow. I can’t wait to see how it goes. So we’re going to start the thing with the guy that’s working that Sunday. He’s going to be on his deathbed with all his loved ones around him, and then he takes his last breath, we dump him in the coffin, and then we’re going to have a little debate going on between two people. Should he come back and you’ll see it. It’s very Jewish. What we’re what we’re going to do with that. And then at some point we close the lid, and the person in the box has to wait to see what the judge or creator decides. Do you get another do over? Are you going in the ground or getting fried? Whatever the hell people are doing. So anyway, love you. Take care. Bye, bye. You.
