What is the Eli Effect?

The Eli Effect, soul, mind, purpose, vulnerability, life chessboard, inner voice, manifestation, spiritual guidance, regrets

In this talk, Eli introduces his new book and the concept of the “Eli Effect,” which emphasizes letting the soul, rather than the fear-driven mind, guide one’s life choices. He explains that individuals must embrace vulnerability and step out of their comfort zones to discover and manifest their true purpose, which often reveals itself as early as childhood. Ultimately, he urges his audience to listen to their inner voice and take necessary risks to avoid experiencing profound regrets at the end of their lives.

Introduction to The Eli Effect

• Eli announces that his new book, “The Eli Effect,” is currently available on Amazon.
• He explains that the “Eli Effect” refers to the inner soul force that guides individuals to manifest their life’s purpose.
• He uses the name “Eli” because it represents his own higher soul name.

The Soul Versus The Mind

• Eli suggests that the soul, rather than the mind, should serve as the rudder guiding our life’s ship.
• The human mind is often programmed with fear, distractions, and negative stories that prevent us from finding our purpose.
• Following the soul’s guidance requires embracing vulnerability, which Brene Brown defines as risk, uncertainty, and emotional exposure.

Following the Inner Voice

• The soul acts as a nudging voice that encourages people to take leaps, whether literal or figurative.
• Eli shares an example of his friend Kendra, who is following her soul’s strong urge to visit Denmark despite financial constraints.
• He also recounts his own experience of following a prompt to move to a log cabin in Colorado in 2004, which led him to meet a highly influential rabbi.

The Life Chessboard and Childhood Signs

• Eli describes life events as moves on a “chessboard” that spiritually guide individuals toward their ultimate purpose.
• He notes that a person’s life purpose often begins manifesting between the ages of eight and ten.
• He highlights his six-and-a-half-year-old great-niece, whose passion for drawing buildings indicates her soul’s essence is perfectly aligned with becoming an architect.

Avoiding Regrets and Moving Forward

• Eli warns that ignoring the soul’s guidance will keep you in your comfort zone and eventually lead to a deathbed full of regrets.
• He emphasizes that anyone can live their soul’s purpose if they are willing to step out of their comfort zone and endure hard times.
• He concludes the talk by inviting people to read his book or reach out for online FaceTime consultations.

Hola! Happy Fry’s Day, or fried day. I hope you’re not fried. I got a break today. I had four appointments at the office. My last two had to reschedule. So, yay! I decided to come home and do a video. So, here I am. So, the Eli Effect book is now available on Amazon. And if you’re local, I’ve already autographed a few. Feel free to bring it to me or we’ll hook up somewhere and I’ll write something nice in the book. But still feeling surreal. But today, what I wanted to talk about is what is the Eli Effect? And I talk about a lot in the book, but I want to explain it to you guys on this video if you’re interested in reading it. So, the rudder to our ship, our life ship, should be our soul, not our mind. Because this thing is so programmed, so full of fear, so full of boogeyman stories, and on and on it goes. The rudder, the soul, that force inside of us was divinely orchestrated when we were born. Eli truly believes that. And it’s up to us to discover it. There was a rabbi, Rabbi Gaffney, he wrote a book I read, I don’t know, maybe 10 years ago. He calls it the soul print. So, whatever, it doesn’t matter what you want to call it. I like Eli Effect because it’s that force inside that lets you manifest what you’re here to do in your lifetime. And sadly, I’ve seen thousands of people over the 40 plus years I’ve been, you know, sitting in my office that didn’t do it. And it’s in there. And it gnaws at you. You know, if you don’t listen to that, that little voice that’s in there. And sometimes it’s going to encourage you to go skydiving, either literally, literally like it did for me, or figuratively like it does for many. I’ve got a friend now. She wrote the forward to the book, Kendra. And I did a shamanic journey for her last Sunday because she’s got this thing inside her soul saying, go visit Denmark, go visit Denmark. And she’s got a little eight-year-old girl and all that summertime. And she doesn’t have a lot of money. And so, I did the journey for her and pretty much it came thumbs up, like when I moved to Colorado. So, whatever that is in her soul nudging her, pushing her, she’s going to do it. And I messaged her this morning to see if she’s got her plane ticket yet. She’s waiting for this new charge card to come in. But I’m so proud of her. She’s going to do it. Guys, you have the same thing inside of you, but you got to get out of here. Now, I’m not saying do a lobotomy or anything. You know, my mind guides things, helps me with things and that. But when you’re trying to figure out your purpose here, it’s going to distract you. It’s going to tell you, don’t do this. That’s too scary. That’ll never work out. You know, all that crap we hurt as kids. I was talking to a young lady at the bank I go to today and had some paperwork to fill out. So, we were talking and she asked me a really weird question, which was a good question. She said, are there people here that are never going to live their sole purpose, that they’re unable to or whatever. I said, absolutely not. Anybody, hey, if this knucklehead from Cal City, Illinois could do it, anybody could do it. But you’ve got to be willing to get uncomfortable. It’s the definition of vulnerability from Brene Brown. Risk, uncertainty, and emotional exposure. And if you’re not willing to deal with that, you won’t do it. Because you won’t take the risk, the uncertainty is there. No, I need to have this in place and that. No, you don’t. Your soul is not going to give up on you. Your soul is not going to crash and burn you. Now, will it have you go through some hard times? Yes, I’ve been there, done that, soon to be 75 years. But whatever you’re going to go through, it’s going to help you move on your life chessboard, which is kind of like the soul print, but I call it a chessboard. In the book, I did a chapter. I identified 34 life events starting at the age of 18 that I had to go through to get to doing my first Kabbalah class in 2012. And it was really fun doing that. As you get older, you get to look back more down that road. And all these crazy things that happened, but I was being guided. I didn’t see it at the time. I didn’t see it most of the time. But as I look back at it, I was like, holy cow, that’s what your spiritual self will do for you. This thing will keep you safe. It’ll keep you settling. It’ll keep you in your comfort zone, but you’re not going to figure out what you’re here to do and then go do it. And that’s what I told this young lady at the bank today. I said, look back to when you were young, eight, nine, 10 years old, it was already manifesting. You’re already showing the world what you were here to do. But for most of us, we don’t get the support. We don’t get the guidance. We don’t get the mentorship and that. And then it goes away. My great niece, she’s six and a half. This little girl likes to draw, but especially buildings, things like that. So my brother and I did a calibration for her. How much of her soul essence would be actualized as an architect? One hundred percent. This little girl at six and a half is already showing what her soul is here to do. And I know she’s got a wonderful mom and grandparents, and they’re going to guide that little girl to do it. So when you think of the Eli effect, I call it Eli because that’s my higher soul name. It could, whatever your higher soul name is, or you could just say it’s your soul force. It’s that little voice that taps you on the shoulder. Go do this. Go try that. And sometimes you won’t get it right then if you go do it, but you may meet somebody like I did to get you over here, to get you over here, to get you where you need to be. Like when my friend Roxanne sent me a message back in 2004, come on to Colorado, we got a log cabin to rent. Now, I’ve always been crazy about log cabins for some reason. That’s in my soul. I don’t get it. So, of course, I did a shamanic journey. I got the thumbs up. And when I got there, within two weeks in, I met this amazing rabbi that has changed so many people’s lives through his teaching and through his wisdom. But you got to be willing to jump out of the plane sometimes and hope to land safely. But even if you break a leg, it’s going to heal. So the Eli effect book talks about my journey of how I listened to that inner voice, that force inside and guys and gals, I’m so, so grateful I did. And so will you. If you don’t, you’re going to be on your deathbed with full of regrets and you’re going to be miserable because you only got one time here, as far as I know, at least in this body. You may come back into another body. All right. Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and chew on this. And if it sounds interesting, you want to learn more about it, buy the book. It’s on Amazon, the Eli Effect. And if you’re interested in doing some FaceTime stuff, because I’m now doing online work, feel free to reach out. All right. Love you guys. Be good. Bye-bye.
