His charisma and enthusiasm is infectious and his unique approach to distill profound wisdom into practical grounded advice is refreshing and empowering. And Brandon is joining us today to tell us about his book, The Golden Key, Modern Alchemy to Unlock Infinite Abundance. This book is amazing. I've been reading it over the past week and I love it, align with it, and I can't wait to hear more about it. So thank you,
Starting point is 00:01:39 Brandon, so much for being with us. Hey there, how are you? I'm good. How are you? Excellent. Great to see you. Yes, great to see you as well. I'm excited to talk to you. Yeah, thanks for taking the time to do so. You know what? We have a lot of similarities. I sensed that. Yeah, you know, listening to a lot of your, you know, references to Gen X. So, yeah, exactly. I mean, obviously, being a human in general is amazing. And I feel like what an interesting time we were born. Like, we got to see computers come into households and, you know, the Internet and cell phones when we're like 20, early 20s, you know, it's like, I mean, imagine 50 years from now, we're like, yeah, well, we saw it all like completely. We came into it. Yeah, we're like the first latchkey kids. So we were kind of like on our own.
Starting point is 00:02:38 You ate fruity pebbles and had chicken nuggets and styrofoam. And they were healthy. Pop- tarts had vitamins and minerals for oh shit one gen x thing that i talk about a lot is labyrinth the movie oh yeah yeah yeah love it yeah yeah my it's funny my son is obsessed with david bowie really i love that he's an actor and he got to audition for a part recently where it was like he got to play Bowie. That was like top of his list of characters he wants to play. That's pretty damn cool. Yeah. So where do you live? I'm in Venice Beach in L.A. Yeah. All right. Is that where you're from?
Starting point is 00:03:17 I'm from Virginia originally, but I've been in California, you know, 20 some years and we run a co-living space and I did retreats. Fans of my podcast would come and spend a week on retreat three out of four weeks a month. And then we were filming a late night style show called optimistic after COVID. I just switched to co-living and we do our own events pretty regularly. And it's a really special spot. It's sort of a vortex for transformational community in LA today, you know. So how long have you had your podcast or Optimist or which came first? This came first because the podcast Positive Head came first and Optimistic, we filmed 17 episodes and Positive Head, we've done almost to 2000. So since 2015, five days a week, a couple years ago, my friend, Erica started doing two of the
Starting point is 00:04:07 days, and I do three. And so yeah, that's awesome. Well, yes, it is a pleasure to have you and I'm excited to talk about some of your philosophies and theories that you've learned throughout your journey. Likewise. So by the end of this, hopefully, we'll figure out how to be the key master. Hopefully, if we're lucky. Yeah, which i definitely want to talk about synchronicities i love synchronicities i have a lot of those to share yeah right and so you know talking about synchronicity when i was listening to your book this morning i think i was on like chapter seven or eight and I got two texts while I was listening. So I decided to check them and they both are listeners, by the way. And one had a reference to the Beatles and the other one had a link that I should check out.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And it was about the matrix, which we dream in. And I was literally listening to you like right then. Right. I mean, I think it was still even on and you were you made a reference to the Beatles and you had just got done talking about the reality that we're in. And, you know, it being like sources dream and that we're all kind of a part of it. So I thought I was like, oh, of course, that happens. It never ends. All day. Me too. It used to be like whoa and now it's
Starting point is 00:05:26 like oh yeah it's life yeah i'm part of it just to start off brandon like how did you come into this were you born this way i'd love to hear your story and love to know if you had you know little he-man pajamas watching cartoons in the morning, thinking about, you know, the universe. I think it was more like He-Man underwear, but close enough, you know. Yeah. So backstory, essentially, I was raised very conservative Christian in a very conservative Christian household in Virginia. And, you know, I went to a Christian college, ended up getting kicked out, but that's another story. And around early 20s, I met someone who claimed to have some psychic ability, intuitive ability, and I was very intrigued. I saw her do some things that I couldn't quite explain, you know, and I'm like, oh, wow, this is interesting. So it intrigued me enough at the time, this is like, you know, what, probably 95 ish, 1995. So I started
Starting point is 00:06:29 checking out books on, you know, astral projection and psychic ability. And I can only imagine because it was my dharmic path to do what I do that it just clicked so much so that I was like, oh my gosh, you know, I remember one of the books I read early on too, was Conversations with God trilogy. Now it ended up nine books. I actually just had Neil Donald Walsh on my show a few weeks ago. And that was like a top desire manifestation of having, you know, I got to have Neil on. And then a few weeks later, Mike Dooley, who does notes from the universe. So I'm like, okay, this is a good month for me. I get to talk to God and the universe is proxy, you know? So conversations with God was definitely very impactful. And I'm like, you know, taking in all this information and these perspectives on the
Starting point is 00:07:15 ultimate nature of reality and who we are and how we're one with the source consciousness that creates and animates all things. And I'm like, oh my gosh, of course, this is how it's structured. It's so elegant and beautiful. And it's like that clear cognizance of like, I know, like, I know, like, I know, this is true. I can feel it. I can, and then started having my own things happen that were like synchronistic or spiritual breadcrumbs or, you know, kind of like supernaturally, you know? And so it was just confirmations for me at that time. Then I was just lit up about it. I'm like, this is, you know, pre social media and everything. So you didn't really have direct lines to people, you know, like, I just got to hang out with Neil Donald Walsh. I couldn't, you couldn't even find a way to contact him back then, you know? And so it was like,
Starting point is 00:07:57 I was sort of an Island back then of like, I would talk about the stuff to whoever would listen and people would either be like, Hmm, that's a very interesting perspective, or what are you smoking? And they'd go about their regular scheduled programming, their regular life. But for me, I was just super lit up to share and talk about it. And then from there, it's a journey. It's one thing to understand these ideas at a basic level, at a core level, like, okay, I'm God experiencing herself through this avatar. And you're me, you are that's the consciousness that animates my form is the consciousness that animates your form. Separation between this is illusory in nature. It's one thing to understand that. And then it's another thing to apply it as the core operating system as a very
Starting point is 00:08:39 fiery person. It's been quite the journey, practicing what I preach, so to speak. And it's like Mike Tyson said it very well. He's like, everyone's practicing what I preach, so to speak. And it's like Mike Tyson said it very well. He's like, everyone's got a plan until you get punched in the face. And so it's like, that's really been a lot of the journey for me is like getting better and better at actually walking the talk. Right. And then, you know, of course, 2015, I launched the positive head podcast. And that was the first time I started, you know, if you listen to episode one, and we're almost to 2000 episodes now, it's, you'll hear me say I had to find an outlet. So my poor friends and family's ears don't bleed from hearing me talk about this stuff. So I understand that. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Did you have to go through a period of grieving? You know, who you were
Starting point is 00:09:21 in your religion? Or did that just kind of just really flow? I never, I've always been so fiercely independent. Like I'll use my, I have a brother who's two years younger than me. And for him, it was a more challenging transition. He, you know, the dogma that was sort of instilled in us and the perspectives that were instilled in us, my father, his, his own father was sort of abusive to him, you know? And so in to him, as he found religion, when I was like 11 years old or so, it's like, oh yeah, this is how the father behaves. Like if you don't get it right, he's going to, he's going to beat you,
Starting point is 00:09:56 you know, you're going to go to hell for eternity and get tortured. And so my brother being maybe more sensitive than me in some regards or taking things on and more, you know, I think for him, there was a little bit harder transition to like, oh my gosh, I'm going to get tortured forever for defying the ultimate father, you know? And for me, it was like, as soon as I saw anything outside that made any sense, that made more sense as my own perspectives and maturing took place and getting into my early twenties, getting more independent, more like, hold on, what do I think about things? And I was seeing stuff that didn't add up to me, you know, like the math doesn't make sense. God is love,
Starting point is 00:10:39 right? And yet, you know, if you get it wrong, you know, he tortures you forever. Like, but I love you. It's like, come on. I always to this day ask religious people if we ever get in some sort of a back and forth healthy debate, if you will. Me and my dad do that sometimes still. And it's like, well, let me ask you a question. You know, would you agree that you are a fraction, a small speck of love compared to the amount of love that is God, source, higher self, you know, God, when you're talking to a religious person, right? And they, oh, yeah, God is love to the nth degree.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I mean, you are, you know, we are a fraction of that love. Gotcha. So let me ask you, as a fraction of the love that God is with your own child, if they were to do something and get it wrong, is there anything they could do wrong where you would torture them for eternity? I've never had anyone say yes. And then they kind of like, uh, and I'm like, okay, so if you wouldn't torture them for eternity and you are a fraction of the love that God is. So what you're saying is if you become infinitely more loving, then torture makes sense.
Starting point is 00:11:52 It doesn't make sense at your level. God, that doesn't make sense to me at all. Or to cause genocide on an entire culture, you know. Yeah, right. You know, some, you know, and I think that for me, it was like, when I read the Bible with more awakened eyes, you know, with new eyes and being very present with the word and thinking, well, I never heard this before. I've never read this before. Right, right, right. Things that make you go, hmm. First off, the Bible, it's a bunch of writings that are put together and then have went through many people's hands and at times been like,
Starting point is 00:12:30 you know, edited and whatever. And even now, if I go into the next room and I say something in front of three people, right, and it's not recorded like this. And then you ask them tomorrow, what did Brandon say individually? You'll probably get three different answers. This was driven home for me big time in business. So I had a business that was an Inc. fastest growing private company. It went from me to 100 plus employees. And I brought in sort of a big wig who had big exits, taking a company from a million a year in sales to a billion. Many years into my own, the company I started a million a year in sales to a billion, you know, many years in to my own, the company I started is growth because he was going to get us to the next level
Starting point is 00:13:10 and help us to exit and all those things. And I learned a lot from him. And one of the things I remember a lesson he shared with me is we'd have meetings. And he goes, okay, everyone, we're done with this meeting. Everyone email me what you heard. And it was shocking to see how people heard what they wanted to hear or what they, you know, through their own lens. This is like human
Starting point is 00:13:31 nature for us to do this sort of thing. So let's take it by say something. And then tomorrow we get different answers. What about 30 years later, you know, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are, you know, there was no recording devices that I know of. And it's quoting Jesus verbatim. Like, I don't know. But even some of those quotes like I and the father are one, lest you become like a child, you can't enter the kingdom of heaven. You know, there's a lot of great wisdom, you know, even when he was put on trial, the way they quote Jesus in front of Pontius Pilate, I believe it was, who was like, okay, what do you have to say for your, you're saying you're God. It's the same thing I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:14:10 And a lot of us are saying. He said, do as I do. He literally was trying to tell everybody, I'm the example of what you all should be and do. Yeah. You'll do greater things than I, he said to his disciples. Like, you know, he's washing their feet. He's not saying I'm better or worship me. He wasn't a Christian, you know? And so he stood in front of Pontius Pilate and they, they quoted him in front of Pontius Pilate as saying,
Starting point is 00:14:33 you know, Pontius Pilate says, we're going to, we're, you're on trial because you're claiming your God and that's blasphemy. And he says, supposedly, uh, isn't it written in the old text talking about the Old Testament? Ye are gods, plural, plural. Ye are gods. So literally his last defense was, hold on. But even the old thing, the old books you follow says, ye, all of you are gods. That was his line of defense. And then we've taken it and turned it into put him on a pedestal and worship him.
Starting point is 00:15:07 And he's the pathway through, you know, I believe Jesus was a man. He isn't coming back. Christ consciousness is an energy that is flooding the planet at the moment, which is why you have lots of people sharing messages like this, you know? So that's when he said, when he talked about the prophecy part of, you know, coming back and that's the differentiation, I think. And then like, I always tell people who have not read like any of the Gnostic gospels, I mean, Jesus was a fricking Zen master. I mean, the shit that he taught in the Gnostic gospels, we only know a small, like a fourth of him in the Bible. I mean, he was wicked, full of allegorical stories that'll just fuck your head for days. I mean, I love the way you I love the way you're describing it right now.
Starting point is 00:15:58 It was unexpected and it's good. But really, truly, it's amazing. This is far more deeper than I ever thought. And I learned so much. And so that's why I got totally stuck in it. And some people would say, maybe I went down the deeper rabbit holes of it, but really it wasn't really that. It's actually just become my new Jesus who I've learned from. There's a great book, not very well-known. My friend knows the author and that's how I came about it. His's a great book, not very well-known. My friend knows the author and that's how I came about it. His dad was good friends with this guy. His name is GW Harding. He wrote a book called the messengers and you can actually, I haven't looked in a while, but you can
Starting point is 00:16:35 download it for free on his website. So the messengers and you spell Hardin H A R D I N. Yeah. So I checked this book out and it's supposedly a guy who he was doing like hypnosis or something for some ailment or something. And he had a full blown recollection of his life as Paul the apostle. And when I think of past life stuff, I mean, it's all us. So it's sort of like degrees of separation. Yeah. This gets into my whole philosophy on how we incarnate in avatars. I believe we play all the roles ultimately at some point. So whether he did or didn't, I don't know, you know, but he wasn't, he was very like, I don't want to share this with the world.
Starting point is 00:17:13 He's a successful businessman, but ended up putting it in a book and it's his firsthand account from the time he met Jesus till the time he died. And it's fascinating. I mean, it's a great story and a great read. And I can say for me as a sort of validator that there's some truth to it. In the books he would have at 4.44 AM, which is supposedly like the angelic frequency, he would have crazy downloads or angels would appear in his room. And so I had some really trippy stuff around that after reading the books
Starting point is 00:17:41 myself. Really wild stories. Yeah. I'll share it with you. My friend was over and I just read the books. I'm like, this book is fascinating. It's firsthand account of Jesus supposedly. And you know, angels would appear to him when he wasn't under hypnosis at 4 44 AM. That's the angelic frequency supposedly. And they would communicate through electricity. And as I'm telling it to my friend, the alarm goes off in my house at like midnight. And I'm like, Oh, this is weird. And I'm like, I was a smoke alarm. And so I went telling it to my friend, the alarm goes off in my house at like midnight. And I'm like, oh, this is weird. And I'm like, it was a smoke alarm. And so I went, no one's cooking, nothing's happening.
Starting point is 00:18:10 I'm like, what? I thought maybe my son had burned a pizza or something. And then we were up really late that night. It was like three in the morning. And then someone tagged me on social media, something about angels. And I was like, whoa, I just got tagged something about angels now. And it went off again. Wow. Such as validation. Then there was more someone soon thereafter,
Starting point is 00:18:30 and she came to visit from Texas. And she's like, Oh, I didn't sleep at all last night. These beans were yelling to me, you're on the 444 frequency all night. Oh, I didn't know what it meant. And I'm like, I do. Then I mean, I live with someone here at the mystic manor, the co living space, me and my partner manage in LA. and she moved in and we had all kinds of crazy synchronicity stuff. She has 444 tattooed on her wrist. It's been like on and on and on. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:18:53 You sound just like me. I could go on. I know you could go on forever because they just go on. They're so crazy. All of them are as good as the other. I know. They really are. You know what?
Starting point is 00:19:02 Here's not really a synchronicity, but a similarity. So I had Rena Kumersingham. She's a past life regressionist. I know they really are. she had different clients that talked about being there in the times of Jesus and knowing Jesus. Wow. And none of them knew each other. Some of them weren't even Christian and we're all telling like this story. And she was like, is this true? I don't know. You know, I don't know anything about Jesus. So she did a study academically on Jesus. And she was like, holy shit, the stuff they're saying is true. And it all was telling like this other narrative. Wow. There's some of that with the messengers. Like I said, the guy who authored the book, who was there for the sessions, I believe, if I'm recalling GW Harden, he was like
Starting point is 00:20:02 a good friend of my friend's dad. He knew him his whole life growing up and he, and they had some similar thing where there's quite a few of them in their circle where they all started recalling different connections. When you were talking about maybe the different layers of your avatar, you know, that make up, you know, all these different souls that maybe make up your avatar or make up really the essence of who you are. I feel like in this life, we have evolved to a higher place. We don't know, you know, we're starting all over. So we have to evolve back into maybe a closer place to where we were maybe the last life.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Are you thinking that, you know, as we come in to the next life, are we putting ourselves into hopefully a place where we'd be able to evolve quicker than the life before? Yeah, that's a great question. And of course, I can't speak for certain on any of these things, but I have very strong theories on them. And I actually referenced this in my book, The Golden Key. I referenced this short story called The Egg. I highly recommend it. I forget the author's name. It's a very, you can read it in a few minutes. Or if you go to YouTube, there's a great, actually, there's a few people that have made it into a little film, you know, short film, like 10 minutes or whatever. The one where God is a woman,
Starting point is 00:21:19 I really like, you know, there's two of them out there, but very well done, actually. I highly recommend it. And basically, the premise is very similar to my own theory. And it's like, you know, there's two of them out there, but very well done, actually, I highly recommend it. And basically, the premise is very similar to my own theory. And it's like, so we break off, I believe, from source, and we say, okay, we want to individuate into a soul pod of sorts, you know, and and, you know, the book journey of souls, I'm not sure if you're familiar with that, it sort of kind of supports this. And that's where they, this guy did tons of past life regression in between lives for, you know, decades and case studies. And he's very scientific approach, very, very good books, Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, I think is the other.
Starting point is 00:21:56 So think about it like this. We're, we are source. We're one with source. And we say, okay, we want to, we want to do something different. We want to individuate and sign a contract for a journey called physicality in human life. And what I believe we've done is we then wrote the story of 3D existence, you know, beyond what our little minds can even fathom. You know, think about it even beyond just human existence, but even beyond perhaps. But, you know, we'll just use earth
Starting point is 00:22:25 for now. It's, it's, it's enough to wrap our minds around. Now think about having eternity in front of you. So no time, infinite time to do it all and saying, okay, I'm going to start out at the beginning and evolve my way through. And because time doesn't exist and it's all happening in the eternal now, all the stories have been written. It's all happening on a different channel right now. We're just not tuned into it. And it's like a divine dichotomy.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Time doesn't exist. It's true. And time exists when you're within this realm. That's true. It's a relative truth, depending on the vantage point from which you're speaking. So there's a lot of those. Yeah. A lot of those. So you and I are separate. True. You and I are one. True. What vantage point from which are we speaking? And so now the soul goes on the adventure and starts perhaps as an amoeba or whatever. It lives that life back and it just keeps upgrading. Okay, now we've evolved to human. We've evolved enough to become experienced human. Now you're at the beginning of the human journey, which is, you know, a whole nother thing. And so when you see
Starting point is 00:23:31 the person down the road, who's killing someone right now, perhaps, and obviously very less evolved in their perspectives, that's just a younger human. So you get to the point where you cross back over and it says, great job. You just lived another life. Now your soul is advanced and evolved enough to experience. It's a vibrational match for the character arc, story arc of Shanna or Brandon, or, you know, or maybe you're, you get options. Hey, you could be Brandon this time around, or there's this, you know, Viking in a different time.
Starting point is 00:24:04 That's actually a very close vibrational match to where you're at in your own evolution at this moment. So then you drop into that story arc. Now that story arc itself, there's a lot of potential Brandon's timelines, right? There's probably not one from this seat forward though. There is some limitation I would say to some degree because there's probably not one where I go audition for the Los Angeles Lakers and they make me the center of next year's team right age or height they're not or skills that are not intact for that you drop into that avatar and there's a certain potentiality within that avatar's journey I you know Brandon's born in a certain place he's not going to ever be born as, you know, a Portuguese man.
Starting point is 00:24:48 He's, you know, whatever. And so you get to play all the roles. And it's like in the egg, you know, as God is talking to this man that he just crossed back over and explaining how you play every character. And then you've grown enough, evolved enough and experienced enough to be born to your godhood or the next level, whatever. So you mean all of existence is an egg? You know, it's like literally we're just experiencing enough to go to the next level of the game.
Starting point is 00:25:18 And it's really intense to think about playing every character. But, you know, I look at it like you and I talked a little bit, I think is before recording, I have a lot of synchronicity with my birthday. It's it's July 28. It's my dad's birthday, my grandmother's birthday, great grandmother died on that day, ex business partner, who is the villain in my book, reference him as part of my hero's journey tale, his baby mama and grandmother July 28. And it's like, like, I'll take my dad, he's a great example. He's door knocked. He's mid seventies and up until COVID he would door knock every Saturday to invite people to his church. We're both very committed spiritually. His is
Starting point is 00:25:55 based in fear. And I want to avoid father tormenting me. And it's like, but it's, it's like, it's a less evolved version of what God is. And it's like, oh, I feel like his name is Roger. I feel like my soul in this avatar currently probably already played Roger. Might just did. Yeah. It's a younger soul. It's a younger avatar. And then, but, but I'll move on from Brandon to something else.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Roger that sold us currently in Roger will have an opportunity to drop into Brandon. And you know what I mean? And it goes, it's like my, my, my business partner that betrayed me. And now as my friend again, and I probably already played that role and then I got the experience. So it's, it's a very great perspective on how we are at all. You know, when I was in Roger, maybe there's another Brandon, a soul and Brandon that I'm very closely connected to on the infinite tree of source. You know, if it's all one, then you happen to have branches with leaves that are floating in eternity, you know, next to each other that are closer related in a sense, you know. Right. Like more of your soul family or support each other in some way. Who knows? Right.
Starting point is 00:27:10 All the experiences and things that I had come to know to be true for my soul anyways. It was like there was part of me through all of this where, you know, maybe this information is always around us and me just grabbing at it. Like it's in my field. And so I'm going to grab this information. It's already there. So it's for me to remember, you know, really connect with the vibration or frequency of what I need right now. And I think that what I've seen is that some people become so overwhelmed. So I needed space in that space. I was able to connect with what was in my field and bring it in gently. It was very interesting. I don't know if you can feel what I'm saying, but there was times where I felt it was too much. And so I was rejecting it, repelling it.
Starting point is 00:27:56 And I was just more focusing on other people's journeys and stuff. But then like all of a sudden, like all of this wisdom started to come in and I needed space to just really, truly let it absorb into my being. Yeah. I totally hear you. I heard it said, like, if you had the full Kundalini upgrade, full expansion all at once, it would, you know, you're an electrical system. You would fry your system. It's like being plugged into a light socket with way too much voltage. So for us to be able to expand and become more and hold more knowledge, wisdom, energy flowing through us as a conduit, there's a process to making that doable or you'll, you could get blown out essentially, I think. So, so it's, it's, it's like growth in general. It's like, you know, there can be growing pains. It's
Starting point is 00:28:51 like, you know, you kind of stretch and then once you've stretched yourself, your system acclimates to it. There's examples of this, let's say, oh, I'm going to start giving talks in front of large groups of people. At first it's like your nervous system is like a wreck. And then you acclimate and your nervous system acclimates. And so you've stretched your capacity in a certain way. And so I think that's very much the same with a lot of the spiritual wisdom. And there's someone who might've just heard the perspective that I just shared on how we incarnate in bodies, you know, and it really clicks for them as like, oh my gosh, that makes so much sense. And it really clicks for them as like, oh my gosh, that makes so much sense. And all of a sudden it's like, it's almost like shocking to your system a little bit. I mean, have you ever seen these images of what we actually are?
Starting point is 00:29:33 Just our nervous system. It's like eyeballs with like the strings of like an electrical system. I also had a bunch of ancestral stuff that I needed to actually acknowledge in this life. It was once I was able to acknowledge it, like really free it. And it stopped with me and my future lineages. Then I kind of was able to move more into a higher spiritual place. But it's so, I mean, we have not just ancestral stuff. We have stuff, you know, just all throughout our lives or childhood. And like healing those things was creating like the space for me to receive more light, more know, just all throughout our lives or childhood and like healing those things was creating like the space for me to receive more light, more light, right. As soon as I got rid
Starting point is 00:30:10 of stuff, I was able to receive and I had space to carry that light. Yeah. Yeah. And part of it is clearing energy encoded in our DNA is of course, you know, we're carrying our ancestral, you know, stuff forward, uh, all of us. And, you know, stuff forward, all of us. And, you know, it's kind of like we pass the baton to one another. Took it as far as I could. Here's the DNA, your turn. Discovering all these things in myself, I was like, holy crap. No one's ever even known about this, let alone acknowledged it or tried to heal it.
Starting point is 00:30:41 And really, do you feel that? Oh, I feel in my journey, awareness is like the number one thing, whether you're, you have awareness of, you know, where you came from, whether you have awareness in a conversation or your pain or that you are more than a meat soup. Yeah. I think being, yeah. Constantly aware, you know, the way I try and view my reality is, um, I think the more we can take, um, you know, it's like Don Miguel Ruiz and the four agreements says one of them is don't take anything personally, take nothing personally. And I think that's a good example of relative truths or divine dichotomy because it's a totally agree with it from one perspective from another,
Starting point is 00:31:24 I could make an argument that everything is personal. But the reason I bring it up is that when you when you take on the vantage point of take nothing personally, like if it's all feedback, right, everything is your whether it's in your physical body, whether it's external, it's all reflecting everywhere you go. You're there waiting for yourself. So it's always reflecting you back to you in some way, shape or form. So, you know, a great example of taking something personal or not, if I were to, you know, come and slap you in the face, right. You could tell us, I think the story we tell around things is the most important
Starting point is 00:31:59 thing. I often say the only thing I'm good at is making up stories about myself. I don't believe in getting sick or whatever. And a lot of times we can make up bad stories. And if you're good at making up good stories, abracadabra translates to I create as I speak and our words are our wands, we're spelling, we're casting spells. And so, yeah, for sure. So if I came in, I slapped you, you can tell two different stories that come to mind. Oh my gosh, Brandon abused me. I'm a victim of abuse. I'm I've been violated, traumatized, all of the energy that goes with that story or the most impersonal way you can make it. There was a hand. It was 72 degrees in the room. A hand struck my cheek. There was a stinging sensation. It, you know, so completely like, it's just an
Starting point is 00:32:46 event that happened in the universe without the story attached to it. It is a very different impact energetically in our heart, mind, soul, you know, body. And so I found the more I can make it about feedback, showing me something about me, you know, this idea it's happening for me, not to me. Okay. I might not want to be slapped in the face or hurt my, you know, hand or whatever happened. And then, but instead of like this disempowering way of looking at it, it's like, oh, okay. Why, why did I track this? What, what is this showing me about myself? What can I learn from it? Why did the guy flip me off on the road? Is it to, maybe it's to test my own resolve not to get into a reactive state. And
Starting point is 00:33:31 it's like conversation says, I've sent you nothing but angels. It's all happening to, you know, smoothies never made for a skilled sailor. And we all came to be skilled sailors. So if you think of it in this, I want to grow, I want to stretch, I want to become more. Okay. Well, sometimes that's going to involve tension in your perspective. So it's, it's actually happening for the greater good at the highest perspective. And if you can take away the personal piece of it, it's easier to, that's right. You know, that also, when you think about my son who is 19 and and he's also he's on the spectrum and his perception is so different.
Starting point is 00:34:09 He's very literal. And so my older kids like my nephew, I wish that I could be like Ethan. You know, he doesn't give a fuck about what he's wearing every day. You don't care about what people think about him, what he's going to be when he grows up. He just is. He's just in this piece that we all wish that we were because of all the stories that we were told. Yeah. And he's reflecting that to everyone who's impacted by him as this is an example, and this is an extension of you. This is a perspective. If you see benefit in it, you know, a lot of times we get into comparison, I believe in a negative way, like, oh my gosh, I'll never be like them. They have more followers or they're so good looking, whatever. And instead of that story, the story I tell us, oh my gosh, this thing I want more of is so close to me that out of the billions of things vying for my precious attention, this is the thing that's a close enough vibrational match that's in my face, right? Instead of I'll never have what they have. It's like, oh my gosh, it's appearing here because I'm so close to embodying that. There's a great example of
Starting point is 00:35:14 two different stories that give you very different results energetically. Yeah. I know. I think we also forget that our thoughts are energy. Like literally your thoughts are so powerful because they're energy, everything about, you know, that is so huge that you would, you know, all of the things that are holding you back or these thoughts that are just energetically blocking you. Well, the opposite could be true. All of the amazing thoughts that you could manifest that could be true. And so, yeah, it's, it's a, it's a mind fuck. That's for sure. You know, one of the synchronicities, you know, talking about awareness and like seeing synchronicities
Starting point is 00:35:50 in your life. Cause I mean, like most of us, I think they happen all around us. They're happening all day, but we're so fricking busy. So crazy, but they have led me like literally, I mean, anytime I'm looking for something that I can't find, I'm like, you know, asking source or whatever, show me the way, right. You know, I know I'm going to find it if I look, so show me, you know, I would love for you to tell the story about the Demiurge painting and because it was so powerful. And I was like, Oh, my God, we have to share this with our listeners. But it's just a real tangible, I feel example about how powerful that can be. Yeah, yeah, it's a great one. You know, I like to call them spiritual breadcrumbs.
Starting point is 00:36:39 So the Demiurge is a painting that a dear friend of mine, Vajra, is his artist name, V-A-J-R-A. He's an incredible visionary artist, so, so talented. And I am at an event and he's live painting this painting he named The Demiurge, which if you've never heard the term The Demiurge, it is according to Platonic philosophy, the Demiurge is the creator being that emerged from the void to bring order to the chaos of creation. Well, and our listeners would know that because I have told them Sophia was actually the lesser Sophia was a creator of the Demiurge. Ah, interesting. Interesting. So, you know, the Demiurge in some perspectives, they view it even as a negative or dark entity. And once again, what's the story that you tell? And my friend Roger, what's interesting, he actually painted an inverse version. There's
Starting point is 00:37:35 the Demiurge, which I own the original painting of at this point. I'm going to share that story. But he also painted an inverse of it. The brighter the light, the greater the shadow it cast, right? So you need that. And so I saw this painting. I was very moved by it. It felt like that's a self portrait, you know, like that's, that's an extension of me in some way. I want to own this painting. So connected at the event, we talked a little bit, I got his number and reached out afterwards and said, you know, what would it take to buy this when you complete it? He's like, oh, $7,777 to buy the original, not inexpensive, right? You know, at the time, I didn't have an extra $7,777 that I was ready to put into a piece of art that has no function except for looking great.
Starting point is 00:38:22 And I was, i liked him i liked the idea energetically of what it would stand for for me to support art in that way and what does this represent more abundance in my life i have it to give and so i said you know would you work with me and allow me to maybe make payments to you over time and he's like like, yeah, I'd be open to that. I'd give you a print until, you know, it's a, well, no, actually I would want, if we're going to do that, I want the original. I want it next to me when I'm podcasting, or I want to see it every day. You know, the energy of the original is the original, right? He's like, well, I don't know about that. You know, we just met, I had a bad experience in the past, you know, with something like this, where he got kind
Starting point is 00:39:08 of ripped off. The guy just ghosted him and took his work. Or he's like, so he's like, basically, he said, sorry, I can't do that. And I said, you know what? I completely understand what I will leave you with on this phone call is something that I've found in my own life when I really want guidance on whether something is a good idea or not. I'll ask for a sign, universe, God, higher self, consciousness, whatever you want to
Starting point is 00:39:34 call it. And I would, I'll specifically name if this happens within this timeframe, then I'll take that as a yes. If this happens and what, and I'll take that as a no. And he's like, well, I'll consider that, you know, but kind of like, you know, I didn't expect to hear from him again, really. Well, he did.
Starting point is 00:39:52 He took that advice. He said, okay, this painting is very cosmic looking. The Demiurge painting Bajor did, very cosmic. He's like, so I saw a UFO once years ago and I'd like to have that experience again, he thought. So if I see a UFO within the next week or something, I'll take that as a sign that I should trust this guy and work out a payment plan with him. Week goes by, he doesn't see anything. About two weeks later, if I'm recalling, it was shortly after the timeframe was up, he goes to and live paints at an event called Disclosure Fest that happens in LA.
Starting point is 00:40:29 And it's like a free event and, you know, speakers and music and painters, you know, and vendors and which it's kind of the heart of it is disclosing the extraterrestrial life, whatever, like the theme of it. And while he's painting, someone comes up to him and goes, oh my gosh, a bunch of us just saw a UFO. I mean, he was painting. It was like right over his head and they took pictures of it. He showed me the pictures. They're wild.
Starting point is 00:40:53 They're like very clear, weird shaped thing in the sky. It was like weird cube like thing. And a lot of people saw it. He didn't see it, but it was taken right above his head by his painting so he gets thinking he's like well shit like this ufos happened i didn't see it personally i saw it on the person's phone and it happened a little after the time frame so i don't know well meanwhile my very close friend and a whole nother trippy story how this person yeah his name is sh Shane he's like a
Starting point is 00:41:26 brother and we found out we're related years later we met and people told us oh you guys are going to be best friends and then we hit it off and then there was all the synchronicity and then years later we found out we're actually fifth cousins and anyway Shane is pretty wealthy and him and I had done actually an ayahuasca journey together that same day before a disclosure or something. And so I'm hanging out with Shane afterwards and he shows me a painting that he's going to get. And I'm like, that looks like Vajra. And I'm like, oh, I was going to get this one from Vajra, but he didn't trust me. You know, he didn't know me. And Shane's like, oh, I know Vajra well, I'll talk to him. Like, you know, he'd already, he'd known him for years and bought work from him before. And
Starting point is 00:42:02 the next day, this thing at Disclosure happened. Shane attends it. He runs into Vajra right after everything happens. And Vajra's kind of like, oh, I'm kind of seeing a UFO. And then Shane comes up and goes, hey, by the way, my friend Brandon is like a brother to me. You can totally trust him. I didn't even know this until years later. Shane even offered
Starting point is 00:42:25 like, look, I'll just pay you for it and let him make payments to you. And they don't even say anything to him about it. And so I didn't learn that till way later. So all I heard was all of a sudden Vajra calls me back, said, Hey, there's this UFO thing. Shane told me you're trustworthy. Let's do it. So that led to me and Vajra being great friends. Fast forward a couple of years and I set up the Mystic Manor, this co-living space, event center, studio in LA where I'm filming my new video production, late night style show called Optimistic. And I reach out to Vajra and said, hey, part of it, I'm going to do an opening monologue and, you know, live audience and opening monologue and retreat guest and interviewee and music performance. And I want a visionary artist live painting while I'm doing the opening monologue.
Starting point is 00:43:13 You know, all the great visionary artists in the world. Would you mind helping me to book those out? And so he's like, absolutely, I'll help. And I'll be on episode one, you know. So episode one, taping of Optimistic. If you go watch it, you can go to optimistic. Oh, I want to. Or on YouTube and you'll see Vajra live painting. I step over, I talked to him about his piece, then the interview and retreat guests and all the elements of the show. And the last thing is a musical performance song by a woman named a Magica.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Oh, it was, you know, that would be the outro of the show well because vajra trusted me and we became good friends and now because of that him and a magica ohm were my first two visionary artists and musical artists for the show and they met that night and fell madly in love no that was uh what in july-11-2019, they got married at the Mystic Manor and now they're very happily married. And so it's a great example of someone going from love and trust instead of fear. And then what can open up for it? Because of that, because of my willingness to buy this art that was way out of what I was wanting to spend. Now I have art all over my house because he got all his friends to put it on commission, like as a gallery. So I literally have like,
Starting point is 00:44:30 you know, tons of visionary art, lots of originals, amazing stuff. It just led to so much abundance for, I mean, both of us. Right. So it's a great example of love over fear and what the gifts that come his name is just one letter off of my last name oh really yeah that's his artist name his real name is eric seister but yeah i mean that's what he goes by is yeah i just looked at the painting i don't know if this is it for sure but the painting is it very like blue and pink and yellow and yeah and she's like the world yep yeah yeah so the original is a few feet away from me just outside of our that's it's absolutely amazing so that painting ended up being like the reason why he yeah met his love of his life that's right yeah yeah i mean oh my gosh that was amazing and then he ended up coming and doing another epic painting
Starting point is 00:45:27 with like three of his friends. They would just, they camped out in our backyard and just spent all day painting on the side of the house, like another really epic piece. But yeah. So another piece was actually created here. That was like, it's, it's pretty mind blowing. That's amazing. Let me ask you, do you know other people who have had as many synchronicities and connected stories like this? Great question. I mean, you know, having interviewed
Starting point is 00:45:52 many, many people on the show, I always ask. That's like a question for me, a story of synchronicity, serendipity, or a positive paranormal story. So I've heard a bunch of amazing stories. I'll say this. I know a lot of people, you know, very involved in sort of transformational community festival, transformational festival community.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Yeah. So I'm around, you know, people on this wavelength, you know, in my physical life, virtual life with the podcast and everything. So, you know, I come across a lot of people who are like, oh, I'm channeling this entity. Oh, I'm psychically intuitive and perceiving this. I'm a medium. A lot of, I astral project every night when I sleep or, you know, I hear all these things. I mean, I have some intuitive things for sure that happened, but a lot of this is like aliens aren't sitting on the edge of my bed every night and talking to me. I'm not getting ripped out of my body and going to some other dimension every night when I sleep that I will remember where I find that I am having a high
Starting point is 00:46:50 level of experience is the spiritual breadcrumb stories like that one. And sort of synchronicities for me seem to be more than most. Yeah. My friend and I'd walk into a room and he'd be like, Mr. Synchronicity. Yeah. I would say that, you know, I, you are one of the only other people that I know who has as much as I have. I mean, as or as many, I mean, because it's, it pretty, it's pretty insane. I mean, it never ends. There's some that are just, there's no fricking way it's impossible. And so it like,
Starting point is 00:47:24 it's funny because the transition that I did have and the grief that I experienced in having that I lost my religion, you know, not sure what I believed in anymore. Right. I mean, my belief system, I didn't know I had to like recreate that. And I've really, truly said like, if I never believed in God before, as much as I do now, I mean, I truly, you know what I mean? Like all full heartedly know there is something divine, you know, that is higher than I, I do believe I'm a part of that as well. Like you believe in your book that we are a part of that source. And so, and none of us are really more special than others either. There may be these different
Starting point is 00:48:02 levels of understanding higher consciousness and whatnot, but we're all, you know, just the same parts. Yeah. Yeah. It's all necessary. It's all necessary parts of the recipe for God to experience what it's seeking to experience. So we're all equal and all unique simultaneously. Yeah. I know another one of those things yeah right that's a tough one for people to really wrap their minds and hearts around is it's like the egg you know the guy's quizzing god in this in the story so hold on you're saying that i'm hitler and everyone he killed so you're saying i'm gandhi and everyone he you know, so there's no, it's all necessary for the story and the evolution that wants to be expressed and experienced to exist. So the person who you would ever judge, that's why I believe to the degree you judge is to the degree you are
Starting point is 00:49:00 ignorant in a sense of what is going on. You know, it's like a relative. So I just want to say that I love your language. You have a very unique language of your own. I love your words that you created. I think that's very unique. I, at first I was like, does he keep saying understanding? And I was like, wait, is he saying understanding wrong? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like to say understanding when it's like a deep truth,
Starting point is 00:49:24 you know, when you really get it at your core within when you really it's like, I understand this on a deeper level. I understand it. Yeah, I love it. Because you know, it's just so authentic, like you are, I really appreciate you coming on. Can you tell everybody where they can find your book? And you also give it for free and tell them about your game and your podcast. Well, first off the podcast positive head I've been doing for, you know, eight years going on nine years, there's almost 2000 episodes, uh, anywhere that you find podcasts, search positive head. You'll find it. If you go to the positive head.com website, I have this great game. I call it the game with the Y O U universe where you can, okay, universe, serve up the episode that I most need to hear at this time. And I've gotten so much fun feedback from that. And it allows synchronicity to unfold, right? And so that's something you can do at positivehead.com. But the book, what I decided
Starting point is 00:50:19 I wanted to do with the golden key, modern alchemy to unlock infinite abundance. It's basically my 25 years of deep exploration of all of this stuff, the ultimate nature of reality distilled into three hours to listen to a hundred pages to read. And I was like, you know, I want to allow people to gift it. You know, if you read the book and then if you want to pay something for it, you can, and then you can, you can create your own free code that you can then gift to other people. If they pay something for it, then can, and then you can, you can create your own free code that you can then gift to other people. If they pay something for it, then you get a piece of that. It's just like, share the abundance, keep it for free. There is no expectation or requirement. It's just a, it's sort of an experiment and, you know, sharing, writing the message.
Starting point is 00:51:00 It's so good too. It is so good. I mean, it's something that I really, really truly aligned with. I don't think that there was anything I wouldn't, I'm like reading it and I'd had no expectations. And I'm like, wait, what did he, what, what? Hold on a minute. I want to wait. I got to pay attention. He's speaking to my soul right now. So he's very good. I highly recommend it. Yeah. Oh, thank you so much. Yeah. And if you go to goldenkey.gift, so if you go and you, and you use the code sense of soul, uh, you'll be able to get the audio or ebook as a gift or both. Yeah. And now it's time to break that shit down. Break that shit down. I like it. So the thing that comes to mind, I think it's really important.
Starting point is 00:51:43 I like to leave people with this a lot of times when asked something similar is I think it's really, really important. This, this thing I touched on earlier, the comparison game, so many people, it's such a natural inclination for us to start comparing. Oh, okay. Yeah. I'm listening to this guy, Brandon, and I, I couldn't do that. I, he's got this going for him. He, of course, you know, whatever the story is, you know, we do that a lot of times, this comparison game. And it's like, what I think is so important
Starting point is 00:52:13 for everyone listening to get, there has never been a soul more worthy of all the things, all the good life has to offer. There's never been a soul more worthy in all of time and space than you are. You are as worthy as they come for all the best that life has to offer. And it's time that you start telling that story. Don't use me or anyone as a reason to push it away. Actually use it as a reason to pull it in. Like, oh, I'm such a close vibrational reflection to
Starting point is 00:52:45 this person thing I'm seeing on Instagram that, you know, I wish I had more of that. It's actually appearing in my movie out of infinite things that could be in my field and vying for my precious attention. This is what I've attracted. And I think making that little change to understand and really feel into the worthiness, you are perfectly imperfect. You with all your bumps and bruises and ugly spots, it's all divine because without it, you're exactly in the perfect spot to step into the next greatest and greatest version of yourself, perfectly primed.
Starting point is 00:53:21 And the end result of that, well, there is no end from one perspective. It's beautiful. It's like you don't dance to get to a certain place on the dance floor. You don't listen to a song for the last note. The journey is the goal and you're in the journey. And what you are journeying as is source, as Ram Dass said, everyone is God in drag. And that goes for you too. And so you are it. You are as divine as any other being ever has been, could be, or will be, and therefore as worthy as any other being. So congratulations. Anchor that in. Oh my God. That was fucking awesome. And I am so glad that you came on. This is just great. I think that you are such a gift yourself to everybody that listens to you. Thank you for saying so. And
Starting point is 00:54:05 we are both beautiful reflections of each other. And so thank you for doing the work that you do and being such a epic host and having me on. It's been wonderful. Awesome. All right. Well, I'll see you soon. Cause I'll be coming on yours. Yeah. I look forward to that. That'll be fun. All right, Brandon, thank you. Thank you so much. This has been a pleasure. All right, see you soon. I would like to thank you and our special guests for being with me today. If you like what you hear, don't forget to rate, like, and subscribe.
