Hola, happy Thursday. How are you guys? I just had to think it is Thursday. It’s been a while, but wider white ride of a week. I’m still buzzing for the psychodrama workshop last Sunday. How powerful it was for everybody, plus we had 26 volunteers. Oh, my God, see when you’re on your right path, the universe, God, whatever you want to call it, will support you move things in place. So there’s Living Proof we’re on the right path with this work. So this Sunday, we’re doing something really unique. And if you’ve noticed, the beard is growing in. Yes, it’s coming in very white. Hopefully by next week, you’ll see the fuzzy face in full form. So Sunday, we’re doing something I’ve never tried before in cycle drama, and I wanted to share it today. I’m a Carl Jungian advocate. I spent two years in young in analysis when I was a young puppy in my 20s, and Young’s big thing is you have to make the unconscious conscious, otherwise it works on you through your subconscious mind. It’s there, but you don’t know. It’s like a boogey man hiding inside. And then when you least expect that surprise, something comes out and you didn’t see it coming. So why not make that conscious so you’re not acting out all this stuff. And in shadow work, I call it the shadow bag, that we hide pieces of ourself that we don’t want people to see or recognize or know, right? It’s like, No, they can’t see this in me, like my a hole part. When I was younger, somebody said, you know, you’re being an a hole. I’d get all defensive because I didn’t own that part. I didn’t make it conscious. So now, when somebody says, Yeah, you’re right. I don’t get triggered like I did. But here’s my theory on this, a lot of people say they do their shadow work, but they don’t embody it, and see the body is here for a reason. So what we’re going to do on Sunday this young lady that’s working, she’s identified. Wait for this 16 parts of herself that she don’t want anybody to see. You know, her needy, part her liar, part her a bad mom, part etc, etc. And so when people call her out, she gets real defensive. Wants to go all puffer fish, and that’s what happens with our shadow stuff. Well, if we make it conscious and own it, doesn’t mean we have to use it all the time, then you don’t have to hide it. And what Young said, and I know Freud said this too, when we repress things, push them down, it takes energy. So if we let these guys out, we don’t, we got more energy. And that’s what I’m hoping this young lady is going to experience. So we’re going to do this work at 10am she’s going to be first up on the platform. So if you guys are interested in checking out something very unique, something you may want to try. That’s partly why I’m talking about it today. Get there. We’re only doing two this Sunday. We had somebody had to drop out. They were ill. So we’ll be done by around two. If you come for the whole day, it’ll be a shorter day. The second one’s going to be an amazing psycho drama too. Some guy trying to get his cojones back. So you’ll see what we did. My brother, Tim made him some cojones. My brother’s real creative that way, and he’s going to have to fight to get him back. But the shadow work, which I think is really important, you know how often we do things, make decisions, and they were like, What the hell was I thinking? Because the unconscious took over. And you know, my dear buddy Joe Dispenza talks about that 95% of our choices are either subconscious or unconsciously made. Now, if that doesn’t scare the crap out of you, nothing will right. Think about that 95% so all the choices you’re going to make today are part of your program. It’s not your authentic self. So wouldn’t it make sense to bring that stuff to the surface? And I think the Shadow Work cycle drama is one really good way to do it. You know, I’ve, I know you can analyze things. Oh, that’s the shadow part, but imagine the power of being the part. So what this young lady is going to do, we’re going to put a blanket over her, maybe, or something. I got to come up with something. And then when we. Take it off. She’s going to be her needy part, her liar part, she’s going to embody it. It’s going to be in the body. See, the body holds things. It has memories, and if you can release that, it’s kind of like raw fish, you know, massage work, where they push down on your muscles and get all that stuff out. Well, this is another way to get that stuff out, but to do it consciously, because she’s acting it out unconsciously. She knows this. You know, people have noticed it with her, but then she gets all expert, because they called her out. Well, she’s going to own it in front of the whole group, and then we’re going to have a judge there judging her. So if you come, you’ll see what that’s going to look like. So if you guys want to come, Sunday, we start at 945 to get all the paperwork done, and then right around 10 o’clock, we’ll get her on the platform, and we’ll show you what this work looks like. In case you want to try it, I’m excited. Eli loves trying new things. I get bored easy. That’s That’s my gift and my curse. Okay, that’s what’s happened to me in a lot of relationships. I get bored too easy. So the other thing I wanted to share real quickly today, I’ve been talking about this a lot last couple weeks projections, and I see this all the time with people with their relationships, they meet somebody new, whether it’s a significant other or friend, we’re projecting stuff onto them. We’re seeing what’s not there. It’s called the fantasy mate. I call it. And then all of a sudden, the projections die down, and you see what you got, and it’s like, oh my god. So that’s another thing we can do to work on, I do that individually with people, is to become aware of their projections, why they’re doing that, how they’re doing that, what’s, what’s the core issue behind projecting so much? And some people do this a lot, you know, they don’t see the world. They see the world they project. Get it so that that’s the shadow work is going to be kind of helping that for her a little bit. So so stop by. It’s going to be a lot cooler out. Last Sunday, it was a oven in that office. We got an AC unit, but it just couldn’t keep up. So I appreciate all the people that tolerated the heat, including Eli, because, I mean, I was sweating. So alright, God bless you guys. Love you. Enjoy your Thursday. Beautiful weather here in Northwest Indiana, bye, bye. You.
