Darkness struck, a gut-punched theft, Sun ripped away, her health bereft. I roar at the void. This ain't just fate, a cosmic scam I spit my hate. The games rigged tight, shadows deal, blood on their hands, I'll never kneel. Yet in the rage, a crack ignites, occulted sparks cut through the nights. The scars my key, hermetic and stark. To see, to rise, I hunt in the dark, fumbling, fear. Fearers through ruins maze lights my war cry, born from the blaze.

The poem is Angels with Rifles. The track, I Am Sorrow, I Am Lust by Kodak Serafini. Check out the entire song at the end of the cast. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the True Life podcast. I hope you're having a beautiful day. Hope the sun is shining. I hope the birds are singing. I hope you realize that there is a path you can walk.

down where things may not be the best, but there's signs on the road to tell you what to do. I got a great show for you today, the one and only Lonnie Ray, author of the Rattled Awake anthology, number one international bestseller. She's a storyteller, content developer, project consultant, freelance writer, podcast host, lover of life's mysteries. Lonnie Ray, how's it going today? It's so good. I'm here with you.

It's a dream come true. Somebody pinch me. You're just saying that because it's true, right? Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. You do resemble that remark. Well, thank you. Thank you very much.

What an amazing time we live in right now. There's so much going on. And, you know, I got to think with everything that's happened in the world right now, that it's inspired this new series, Rattled the Wake. But before we even get to Rattle the Wake, maybe we can start off with like the where the author series began because you've written several books before, maybe a little bit of an origin story about how you became a writer,

how you became interested in writing down things for other people, becoming a storyteller. Okay. So, thanks, George. When I was in school, they threw a sock on the middle of the table and asked us to write a story about the sock. And so I, or maybe it was a sneaker. It doesn't matter. Snaker. We'll call it a sneaker.

And I called the sneaker, Anthony. and his sister Maria was missing. You know, because one of them always ends up missing out of the laundry, right? And I got all this applause for being creative. And that launched, you know, the little writer in me for years, I made cards. And I would write on the back. I would imitate a hallmark. And I go, it's a hallmark moment.

You know, whatever I could do to just duplicate, like, you know, that's what I thought maybe my future would be, was writing cards. And then the day came after a very traumatic childhood and an awful lot of processing that I thought that I was, you know, pretty much had peeled all the onion layers off. And I was making a Mother's Day card. You know, I was trying. And I wrote on the front with best of intentions, George. I said, on Mother, you're laughing. I did. I said, on Mother's Day, I just want to thank you for all the wonderful things you've taught me.

And then I sat there dumbfounded. And I'm like, I don't have an effing thing to tell you. I have nothing. I got nothing good. And I'm just like, oh, well, this is what I hate. People are like, oh, I'm sure she did her best. I'm like, you weren't there. And you know what somebody's doing their best and when they're not.

Nobody does their best all the time. Shut up. Stop saying that. In fact, I wrote a book, Life Lessons Learned from a Lousy Mother. And I'm not a mother, okay? It was initially going to be a blank book, George. I had it published on Mother's Day and I wanted to inspire people to write their own Mother's Day card and not mail it. Just write your heart out because I learned that writing makes it real.

It gets it out of your head. It gets it on paper where you can deal with it. And then you can decide what you want to do with it after that, right? So I ended up writing this in five days. I've had this content in my head for a very long time. It's a 20-minute read. The comments I put on the front are just so relatable. And it is because not all of us had June Cleaver for a month.

other. She was in her 70s and still mocking and mimicking me and making faces and stuff. For a woman who studied spirituality, she was a medium, you know, she did, you know, made a living at it. You'd think that she'd have processed some of this stuff, but she never did. And yeah, she just somebody who's got a grudge, you know. And so that was, that was how I ended up writing my first book. And it was really to help people on Mother's Day who feel obligated to do or say something nice. And we don't always feel that way. And we have to honor those feelings too. Yeah. Yeah. I've been speaking to a lot of people about the idea of generational trauma and how the things that happen to our family in the past, you know, we often see it manifest through

patterns and things like that. But so much of what we react to is the same things maybe our grandparents reacted to. It's kind of crazy to think about, right? Well, I'll tell you how real that is. You're absolutely right. Look, I was seven when my twin brothers were born. And I found that I could be at least appreciated a little bit for a minute. You know, I taught myself how to change diapers and, you know, whatever I could do to be mini mom just to win some praise. It was very confusing.

My mother revealed that the twins had separate fathers and I'm just like, wait a second. Hang on, Mom. What? What? Yeah. She's a medical mirror. She's in the books. You got to be known for something, I guess, right? But by the time I was 14, I felt like I'd already had kids. And I said, until such time as I undo all these knots and not be her to a child,

not become my mother, I will not have a child. And I remember the day, it felt like a lightning bolt struck me on the sidewalk of San Diego. And it was like, you will not be your mother. And I was like, great. I don't think I'll have kids either, but thanks. You know, so it has just been a process of undoing all that stuff so that if nothing else, when I take to the microphone, the frequency that is broadcast makes people smile. It reminds them of who they are because I got there. And I know you can talk about how grass grows and people can still feel better. Yeah. Yeah. So that was the seriousness I took to recognizing that we have to undo that stuff so we don't pass it on. It's hard

though, right? Because you, like, how do you process that stuff? Like, first, for me, it's blaming. Like, the first thing you do is, like, it's their fault, God damn it. I can't believe these people did this to me. You know, and like, at some point in time, you know, if you don't take the precious time to look at yourself

and be like, okay, yes, they fucked it all up. However, I got to fix it, because if I don't fix it, then I'm going to keep radiating that pattern out there. And that is the one thing we need to stop. For me, it took a long time to figure out, and I think it does for a lot of people. At some point, you come to this realization like, okay, I cannot blame them anymore. And I'm just hurting myself. And by

blaming them, I'm hurting my own relationships. And I'm continuing to do the same thing they're doing. So for me, it took a whole lot of work and like some therapy and failing at things and coming to this radical realization of self-responsibility. But what was it for you that came to this path of like, okay, I had this lightning bolt hit? Like, what was it? was that lightning bolt that finally made you go, okay, now it's on me. Now I'm going to take this and make people smile all the time. No, no, no, it was always on me. I started studying metaphysics when I was 21 and personal growth and development, spirituality, paranormal. Whatever I could get my hands on, I knew I was a mess. I knew it. I knew it. And I didn't want to be that person. I had to

undo it all. And I had to figure out what that was. You have to have it to get rid of it. And what I was doing was typical of a kid who's abused is that they defend their abuser. And a pivotal moment was a therapist who gave this wonderful example to me who said, you're sitting in the room and a little elephant walks across the room and he accidentally steps on your foot. He doesn't mean to, but it hurts, doesn't it? Yeah, that would hurt. Yeah. He said, you got to have that hurt. Whether he meant it or not, You've got to have that hurt. And so what happened from that moment was me finally allowing all those years of pent up anger and self-loathing and hating myself because narcissists will do that to you. It's your fault that they're unhappy.

It's your fault that you were born. I heard if it weren't for you, goddamn kids. Oh, thanks, mom. I actually really didn't try to be here, but you did that. That's the beer. Yeah, thanks. So it was a process of peeling off onion layers. What happened, though, is that he'd be like, oh, our 55 minutes are up.

Our 50 minutes are up. See you next time. And he'd send me out onto the street. I'd just be like this bleeding, gaping wound of emotion. And I feel so bad for my housemates at, you know, various times in my life because I was pissed off for five years. I wore, you know, heavy stomping boots. I wore big clothes.

So nobody would bother me. I didn't want any attention. And I listened to nine inch nails everywhere I went. I had the headphones on. I was at the bus stop. I was banging. I was airboxing because there's so many lyrics in that that made me think of my mother. And you know.

Yeah. And you have to get it out. What happens is getting stuck in it and becoming, it becomes an identity. And I had an identity as an angry person. I was like, I don't want to be this. I don't want to be Debbie Downer. I don't want to suck the air out of it. the room and the life out of friendships. How the hell do I get out of this? Now that I've owned it,

how the hell do I get rid of it? You know, it's a, it's a multi-layered long-term process. Until I found tapping back in the day, it was originally called thought field therapy. Okay. Have you ever heard of it, George? I'm not familiar with it. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. It is, wow. It is based in Chinese acupunieling. pressure. Okay. Dr. Callahan studied it for 20 years. He was a traditional psychologist who took a liking to Chinese acupuncture and acupressure. And what he discovered, excuse me, is that every thought, that's why it was called thought field therapy. If you have a thought, what comes with it is a field in your energy field. And if you have a stress response, like if you think about something and it makes you feel like, oh,

on a 10, even an eight, it's too much. You know, tears, whatever, can't handle it. There is a blowout in that. It's called a perturbation. It's where the word perturbed comes from. And this is, we have an energy system, a chi, and what happens with these thoughts is this association and then a reaction. And look, talk therapy is valuable.

It matters that you get hurt. It does. but it can only go so far. And what I found with thought-filled therapy was that it works like gravity, whether you believe in it or not, it works anyway. It does. It was able to isolate acupressure points

that would eliminate, and our manual was five inches. It was thick. It has now come down to a five-minute routine. And it really, really works, like I said, whether you believe in it or not. It's like fix-a-flat for emotional blowouts. It really is. Yeah, it is. In fact, I was in a, I've had a lot of, what a life, but I was in a women's shelter and we were all, you know, messed up and traumatized all of us. But I knew thoughtfield therapy. By then it was called EFT, emotional freedom technique. And I taught it to the girls. And this, this subtle Asian came up to me a day or two later. She had bruises on her face. And this was from the tapping because there's,

certain spots you tap over and over again. You think a thought, you tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. And these activate and close the perturbation. So she comes up, she looks up at me. And I said, what, why are you bruised? She said, oh, I feel much better. A lot of issues, but feel much better.

Much better. I was saying, oh, everywhere I've gone, George, I tried to help. If I had something, I'm going to share it. I've always believed in say it forward, which is really what the Rattled Awake movement is about. That's the, it's the

anthology is yeah we want to say it forward yeah i think that that's the that's the magic recipe in order to make the world better as you try to make everyone around you better and then that kind of radiates back to you in some ways i have a question to it earlier just just briefly you said you know you have it and you try to get rid of it is the next for me the next part of that sentence is once I got rid of it, I realized the lessons I learned from having it. But there's a certain sort of superpower that comes from having it and turning that thing into something positive. That's probably why you want to help people, right? And that's why you're good at helping people because you've been through that emotion that a lot of people are going through.

It definitely matters because I can see more than they think they're saying. Yes, yes. Yeah. Yeah, because I've been so many shades of, you know, dark. and, you know, light. I do want to track back on something you said. Yeah. Okay. And that, you know, not everybody gets back up.

Not everybody recovers. And certainly you see it in siblings. They all take the same, you know, level of abuse. And one family, I know two of them became convicts and the other one became a poetry therapist who traveled the country helping kids, kids in prison, 10-year-olds who killed their parents. Like, she broke the legacy. Yeah. And one of the things that really, I know people mean well when they come up with these little trite things. Yeah.

But, you know, oh, it made you who you are. And it's like, no, you did. You made yourself as you are. That experience, that experience sent you down, you know, an alley. And it was you that found the light and came back. And that was all I said all these years, George, was, God, if nothing else, because I don't understand all this. If nothing else, please make it make sense. Please show me the way so that I can come back with a lantern and a laugh and show people the way out.

Because I like taking the zip line to the finish line. You know, how fast can we get where we want to be? Why do you want a monkey around in the jungle? I'm just saying, wow. You know? So, and one of the, you know, we live in reaction so much. Yeah. Instead of response, we live in reaction.

And, you know, I didn't know at the time, but I was. was looking at what my mother was and I had like this list of like sarcastic mistrusting um snarky um you know all these things and I was like ah whatever she is pendulum swing I'm going to be the opposite right and as a result and plus I was desperate to be love like accepted anything God can somebody just yeah not have a conditional hoop that's on fire that and you know right come on yeah did it stop being like this ever or is this like my destiny and then my karma and this is just how it's supposed to be i i just didn't want to accept that and and so as a result of seeing what she was like i chose to be super gullible and super accepting and and i would let anybody in and say hey here's my rowboat you're grab an or

oh you don't want to row okay i'll row for both of us yeah let's do this it doesn't work i i thought it i thought we were all supposed to link arms and come up together. I thought everybody was a good person. I thought that we all were here to do, you know, do well, do better, help each other. Wow. You know what? When you wear rose-collar glasses, you miss the red flags. And that's what happened. That's why I wrote the book How to Deal with a Dumbass. Yeah. This one. There we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is edutainment at its finest. It's a field guide to the potholes and the people who dig them. But it's also a spiritual stop. We have to be able to recognize it. And no word in here is the word toxic. It's not narcissists. It's not in there. These are personality traits. And these traits are things that you

need to look at from here because I'll give you an example. Okay, please. Okay. I had a long-term friendship working relationship with a gal. And I noticed that, and in fact, I said, I'll call her Amy. Amy, how come it is you've been with Frank, whatever, 17 years and he's never said, I love you. Doesn't that bother you? Well, yeah, but I know he does. And I said, Amy, why don't you like stand up and say something? Well, no, I know he does. And I was like, God, girl, like, you're going to have this whole lifetime of a relationship this way? Well, I, know he does but you'd like to hear yeah we'll say something no well later right well look that's fine live your life do it your way here's where it showed up later george okay i was working on a job um i was cleaning apartments god university of tennessee college students are a i've done a lot of things as long as it didn't involve blood i i've done it pretty much anyway I digress.

We walked into this apartment and it smelled like mold from on the sidewalk. It was bad. It was bad. And it was 90 degrees outside. And I said, we got to air this out. And then I went into the bedroom and the air conditioner was coated with black mold. Coated. And I'd had a problem in my own apartment with that.

I know what that can do. And I sent her photos. and I said, this is, I'm not putting my dice in on this, that's for sure. I'm not taking this mold home. And I said, even disturbing it is, is a very big concern. This is a problem. And oh, come on, just, just photo after photo. I said, no, it's not okay, Amy. It's not okay. This is dangerous. And she, she says, well, the maintenance man said it's just dirty. And I said, Amy, we have cleaned enough apartments for you that I know the difference between dirty and mold ridden. This is dangerous. And she wouldn't come down because Convid had just hit. And she thought that she would,

you know, she had to isolate. Right. And I say, okay, you know, leave it up, you know, you say you back your crew. Okay, yeah, it's fine. Never mind. You don't have to do it. Okay. Well, well, the maintenance man said, it's just, I said, I don't care. what the maintenance man says. Right. Here's what happened. The other part of the crew was upstairs. They came from the third floor down and in marched a gal who was literally about to give birth. Like she had her baby the next day. Like that much. She worked right till the day she gave her birth. She was about to march into that apartment and clean that AC unit. And I stopped her. I practically neck hooked her. And I said, you are not going in there. There's no.

No way that I'm going to let that happen. And I was furious with Amy. I said, how dare you? Yeah. How dare you put other people at risk? Well, the maintenance, this is what weak-willed people will do. So it went from, she won't ask her boyfriend of 17 years to say, I love you, to she won't have the back of her people to exposing a pregnant gal to dangerous black mold.

Mm-hmm. Doesn't even care. Like, no. And so weak-willed is probably one of the, I mean, it's definitely one of the biggest things we're facing right now, George, is a lot of people have become weak-willed. They're following the tail in front of them without questioning what's going on. And they need to question if it, if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't right. If you only have half the truth, what's the other half? Start looking deeper. And that's why I wrote how to, deal with a dumbass in part. I love it. Yeah, I think it's, it's a bug, or it's not a bug, it's a feature. If you look in the way, like it seems to me Fortune 500 companies, like they're selecting for weak-willed leaders that will do whatever they're told so that they can be the buffer in between the angry people and the profits, because you can always get rid of a manager. You can always get rid of a leader. Those people are like the head coach of a football team.

Yeah, it's super important, right? And, okay, get out of it. We don't need you anymore. You know, that you need the team and you need the owners. And those two people need a buffer between them so that the players can murder the person in the middle. And the weak-willed leaders are in our governments. They're in the boardrooms. They're everywhere. They don't care. All they care about is people is numbers.

And they don't have the courage to stand up for what's right. I couldn't agree anymore. And they don't. But what we have are the workers that are the numbers that need to stop agreeing. Ask why before you comply. I had that. Dot com, George. I love it.

Yeah. I also had a channel on Bitschew called Project BS, you know, in response to Project Blue Beam and all their other project paper clip and all this other crap they do. Project B.S. Yeah. Yeah. Look, we have got to become stand-up guys. And honestly, that's what the dumb-ass book is about. It's like, where are you accepting?

Where did you lower the bar? Where are you letting people in that do not deserve to take authority over your life? Yeah. And take it back. Because what's about to happen again? You know it. Lather rinse repeat is coming. And so what they've done is they've once again,

now it's a social credit score that these employers have to, companies have to maintain in order to what, stay alive, stay in business. If they all stood up, if they actually showed that they have a spine, they would say, hell no,

we won't go. And then their employees wouldn't be forced to, you know, get fired or, stand up and riot or protest at the very least. Has anybody looked at France lately? They're not happy people for a reason. You know?

Yeah. We've got to because this is where they've insidiously instigated more tyranny through work, through employers. And, you know, okay, I get it. An employer wants to stay in business. You have no business telling somebody what they should do with their body. Right. Absolutely. Yeah, there's the Nuremberg trials for that. People should be in prison for that. Like there's a lot of people that should be facing a jury of their peers for the crimes that were committed over the last. I mean, we could start with two years. We're probably the last 15 years. There's zero consequences for people like the Sackler family that just ruin people with opiates. And zero consequences for them. They get to walk around free. But some guy in the corner that's slinging some dope, that guy's going to go to prison. get out of here with that. But I think this transformation, you know, or this reconfiguring of integrity and having

the ability to stand up for what's right starts with individuals, because it's not going to come from the top. It's going to come from each one of us looking around and being, I'm sick and tired of seeing my brother and sister stepped on. I'm going to stand up right here. Damn the consequence. Go ahead and fire me. What are you going to do?

Nothing. Before you fire me, let me go ahead and tell you what a dummy you are. Let me tell you why you are a horrible person. Let me take the difference between a leader and a man. I'm going to do it in front of these 500 people right here just so that they can know and clap and have a little bit of empowerment that builds up inside of them. But it's contagious, right? That ability to stand up for what's right is what we're here to do. We should be doing more of it.

I so agree with you. Listen, go to a wedding. Everybody wants to dance, but it takes that one person to open the dance floor. And then everybody's boogie. And thank God, Frankie open the dance floor. You know, everybody's looking for that one person who will stick their neck out. If everybody realized and came together and said, we all need to do this. No one person's putting their neck out.

But if it takes an act of civil disobedience to say, no, this is not okay. You know, they pulled some college girls that were protesting the right to have an abortion. And it was like, we need to have autonomy over our bodies. It's not okay. And the guy, he says, and so, microphone in their face, what do you think about them telling you, you need to have a jam? Yeah. Is that not the same thing? This is the kettle.

You're black. That's it. That's it. So dumbass is really, look, it was a response to, I, dumbass, my dumbass podcast, my dumbass. The reason is because I've been that dumbass. I have. I have accepted things. I've lowered the bar. I know what it is. I'm not being judgmental. I promise you. We've all have traffic. And somebody cuts you off. You're like, dumbass. We've all said that word. We need to have judgment. We have to have judgment. We have to have judgment. We have to have judgment. We have to have judgment. We have to have it. This whole new age movement is just like, just don't judge. Just don't judge. Just don't. Everything's fine. It's fine.

They said, you know what? That's how we got here. Because it's not fine. You know, these controllers and psychopaths on parade love that you want to sit down, be passive, sit at home and say, oh,m. They love that because you're not doing anything to be a stand-up guy. You know? And so it came from, it came from falling into rabbit holes, which I know you look to talk about.

I love them. I love them. I know, right? And it was like, okay, okay. on the global stage it's a mess we got clowns on parade but what think global act local what can we do local what can you do in your life today to minimize the simple clang and monkeys on your own dang porch to so that you can hear your still small voice believe it or not buried in this book is a very spiritual message and and and it and it's it's hidden in in the entertainment and and you know

what i think most people stop reading when it when it causes them to look in the mirror and go Holy shit, I've been a dumb ass too. Totally. Yeah. We all have. Yeah, we have. And being a repeat offender. Oh, I'm going to just give Trump another hall pass.

I'm going to get this guy another hall pass. You know, it's okay. No, it's not. Stop being a repeat offender, allowing that guy or girlfriend that, you know, a pal of yours, I had one. I had to quit him after six years. I said, stop calling me with the same freaking problem. You like trailer trash girls. I'm okay with that.

No judgment. But you see what it gets you. And then you say, oh, those are good ideas, Lonnie. And you do it for a month. And then you go back to what you know. I said, I'm done with this. Because he's a repeat offender. Me staying with him makes me a repeat offender.

Sure. So I'm just a dumb ass. You cannot expect somebody to change their ways. If it's a pattern, it's a pattern for life. That's their life pattern. Do you want more of this or less? of this. Survey says, no, thank you. Next, right? Yeah, absolutely. So yeah, I'm pretty passionate about it. I just don't understand why it's like it's like people have blinders on,

George. And, and, you know, I was raised in chaos. I accepted a lot of abuse. Right. Right. So you can understand that. Yeah, I can. That's normal to us. A calm, peaceful relationship is like something's wrong here. I need to, I don't know, kick something. I need to, you know, stir it up because that's familiar. Well, let's not have that be familiar. Let's, let's bring the peace into our own selves and say, you know what, I deserve better. Yeah. I think we all do. And the process of getting there of, no, you're not a schmuck. I don't care what people said to you. means that you'll expect better

and you'll kick those other things to the curb that want to sling mud at you and say it's okay in fact it's your fault I did that that's got to go we've got to you know as if people realized I read something so interesting a man did an analysis I wish I could do it justice

but I'll spare you the analysis was on DNA and he He was, I could see it. He's one of those, it's not David Wilcox, but it's, it's one of those guys. It might be David Wilcox, super into neuroscience and DNA. He was able to assign words or letters to the code of DNA. And every single one of them started with God and then something else.

God created the, you know, essentially it was, you know, a creation of God. Now, I believe there are there are entities here that are soulless. I believe there's clones. I believe there's all kinds of, wait till I tell you about the shapeshifter I met. Nice. There are, I will, hold on a second. There are definitely some soulless beings here. However, the point is, you can't be separate from the thing that created you. That's an illusion. Separation consciousness is, I think, the reason that we have all these wars. We have all this, you know, self-loathing. We have, we have people filled with, with, you know, gutter level self-esteem. I was there. I had the shit kicked out of me emotionally, and it took a long time to recover and rewrite. And hey, guys, good news is, you can do it.

Good news is, you can rewrite the next chapter, you know, you can. And we're plastic, neuroplasticity, we can do it. But you have to want to. And not accept that this is, This is just, oh, it's just my ticket in life. No. No. Don't accept that. Don't accept anything less than excellence. You come from a source of all things that makes flowers bloom and your heartbeat.

You can't figure that out. How does your finger heal from a cut? Right. Right? Profound healing happens. It just happens. And imagine if we just. lean on the truth of who we are.

Remember who you are. And stop letting people tell you anything less. Get rid of them. And it might be that you're by yourself for a little while, but that's okay. It's better than having to deal with a bunch of drama and chaos. Because you can't be effective if you're dealing with that. You got to go through it to get a lot of. over it and get some help to do it. And tapping is one of those ways to do that. It's phenomenal.

Yeah. The best way out is always through. And I, you know, it's hard. It's hard work to do, but what are you going to run from it your whole life? At some point in time, like, I was thinking about this yesterday when I was driving. It's fun. Sometimes people like to be scared. Like, if you go to a movie, you're like, ah! I don't get that. Yeah, but what if like at some point in time, Imagine seeing that same scene over and over again. The first time you're like, ah, and then you're like, ah, and then you're like, ah, okay, what is this? It's not even that scary.

It's not even fake. It's a fake monster. This person's dumb. Why am I scared at this? Like, if you look at it, the scary thing enough, it becomes dumb. And at that point in time, like, you have to change you. Like, okay, I don't want to watch this scary scene anymore. And I think life is constantly doing that to us.

Yeah. Ah. Okay, but as soon as you get triggered or as soon as you feel like you're scared or something, or something triggers you, makes you mad. Stop and embrace it. Because standing up to the thing that scares you is enough to scare that thing away. You know, it leans on you. And I think that, like you said, our first impulse is to run.

Our first impulse is to do something. But behind the impulse to run is the impulse to fight. You know, it's the fight or flight feeling. And sometimes you've got to embrace that fight, that fight in there, I think. But it's a beautiful said. Please embrace it. Because if we're not stand-up guys, we'll be pushed over. Do the math.

If you're not a stand-up guy, you'll fall for anything. And this really is about, hey, you've got a spine. You can bend over and stand up and sit down and now. Stand up and say something. Yeah. We have to. If we're going to make it, there are many out there. It's just like, it's all perfect.

It's happening the way it should. I'm like, no, actually, it's happening the way these creeps on parade want it to. Yeah. If they sat at home and said, oh, I'm just going to visualize screwing up everybody's life and taking over the world because it's going to happen just because my vibration is super low or whatever. We would laugh at them. Right? That's a joke. Yeah.

Come on. They're putting stuff in place. They're doing everything. We're just standing by going, oh, I guess that's fine. No, man. It's not okay to destroy a garden in order to build a new garden. It's not. We have a garden.

Leave it the hell alone. Yeah. You know? Like, how bad does it have to get? It's going to get as bad as we'll let it. I feel, I'm not saying I'm out there carrying signs. I don't know what to do about some of the stuff I see. Yeah.

I don't even know. I don't. But I do know that what you said is true. If we turn on the light, the cockroach is scurry. That's right. That's right. Transparen't. Bye, bye, bug.

Yep. Yeah, coming to find you. Well, I got a story for you. Yeah, please tell me. Okay. Okay. All right. I was going on a trip, and I was over at Anna's house, and Anna 22, she rivaled Ivanka Trump for beautiful. Nice. Beautiful, long blonde hair. I mean, she was a stunner. And I forget how I knew her probably work.

and I had my little bird cage over on the over to my right and I'm and I'm talking to her on my left and back and forth and back and forth and and I'm doing something in the bird cage to show her at whatever I turn back Anna has transformed into the most haggard horrible hunched over witch of a thing that I can't even freaking, I couldn't tell an artist how to make her ugly enough. What?

I am not kidding. Aged, wretched, oh, just gnarly, just gnarly. The worst, you can't even picture it. You can't. Imagine, right?

The look on my face. Yeah. And I had to look away because I was like, what the hell is that? I took a breath in. And I looked away. I looked back because I was ready to run.

And it was Anna, 22-year-old, beautiful blonde Anna. And she goes, what? What's wrong? And I said, um... I saw who you really are. I just saw this horrible haggard agent thing, wretched over the table. And now it's not there.

Did you say that to her? And she screamed at me, get out of my house. And I was like, no problem. I'm taking the bird too, because you probably eat it. Right. Just like,

what? Gone. Gone. Yeah. I'm telling you, I've seen them. And I've seen faces shape. I've seen faces morph multiple times. Psychics look at me and they go,

you can see faces changed. And I said, yeah, it really sucks. because I don't want to see this, but I do. What is that? Is that like a, you think that that is seeing someone for who they really are? Or is that like a different being or is that something we can't understand? Like, how do you make sense of that? I don't know how to make sense of it.

Yeah. I genuinely don't. It, it's, I wonder about the ones, you know, there's a lot of photos of people that are turning into the slits like reptiles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen that. And I wonder, you know, maybe they're hybrids. I had a friend who was abducted. multiple times, by the way.

And he later was introduced to his test tube son. Yeah, multiple abductions for this guy, poor thing. But there's these other people. And I wonder, like, do you actually recognize that you're going into reptile mode right now? Because we got your reptile. I'm sorry, we got your pupils on film. And you ain't looking right. Are you aware of that?

I don't know if they know. I've stopped wondering. I've stopped carrying. Not too long ago. Let me tell you something. If you get a funny feeling about something, trust it. I was, I would walk, you know, age before beauty should apply, right? In this case, both should have applied.

This guy was walking up to the doors of the grocery store at the exact same time I was. And I got the Willie's hair stood on the back of my neck. Okay. Something's wrong here. I can feel it. something's wrong, something's off. This guy, by the time, he went first, because I didn't want him behind me. I didn't want his energy behind me.

By the time I got to, through the front door to grab a grocery cart, not far, okay, right there. He was all the way to the back of the store. It was like he was moving on wheels. Right. It was weird. And I was like, how to hell did he move that bad? But right before that happened, I stood behind him. I got ballsy for a second.

And I said, I know who you are. I see you. Freaking freak. And I was like, oh, you better shut the hell up. Yeah. Because if he is that freak, whatever that level is. Right. It could be a problem.

But I'm a stand-up guy these days. I don't know. Anyway. But look, dude, I watched this squirrely-looking, elongated neck, weird-faced guy. He was. Soared to the back of the store. He stood at the meat.

He stood at the meat counter, whatever, the section, right? Right. He literally bends like a robot, looks down, looks left, looks right? Stands up. Goes like this and continues through the store doing this weird like bend over, check it out. and then scoots to another aisle. I swear to God, you can't make this up. This is in South Knoxville.

Now look, it's not the best reputation for town, but damn, man, what the hell is that? What is that? And then he scooted out the door without buying anything. OQ Shockface, you know, like, good, get out. Wherever you come from, go back under that rock, please. Because, yeah, yeah. I have sat next to people and watched their faces just multiple face.

I've had communication in my ear towards, and it sounded like, so it was telepathy, but it was like, I'm like, I turn to the guy and I go, I cannot understand a word you're saying, shut the hell up. And I got up and I walked away. Yeah. It's like, enough. I'm done with this. Hit the road, Jack. Right.

So this stuff is real. And people want to doubt it. Go ahead. Doubt it. Go ahead. There's just far too much evidence. If you're making an assumption that the person you're listening to right now is nuts, it's because you don't know enough yet to call them nuts. And you might be crazy for not investigating further. I'm just saying we have got to dig deeper than what lame stream media wants to force feed you in the propaganda box or out of the propaganda box.

It's enough. I agree. The idea that we have. any idea what's really happening. Like, here's like a quick, linear path people can look at if you want to understand that everything you've been taught is bullshit. Right. There's that.

Yeah, the planets do not live in glass spheres. We are not the center of the universe. And if there's one thing we always get right, it's that we always get it wrong. Like my history is definitely different than my wife's history who was born in Laos. history, just the word his story. Like that is bullshit. History is made up. History is a set of lies agreed on by people that have the power to kill other people.

That is history. We don't know anything. We think we know things, but we don't know anything. Find a top scientist and ask them, hey, what are you studying right now? And is it true? And a really intelligent scientist will be this is our best guess. And they'll tell you, this is what we think. They don't, but we believe it like it's gospel.

We believe like, this is what authority says, therefore it's true. And that's the foundation of our problems, is that we believe these quote-unquote experts. Experts don't know shit. Experts are expert bullshitters. It's an opinion. People will give you their expert opinion. You should take it as so. If they study that field and they're really, really talented and they're good, please take their opinion.

But understand it's their opinion and you should do your own research and come up with your own opinion to see if they match. And also look at who funded their studies. Because chances are the outcome is based on that supporter, that, that patron. Listen, you've got to follow the money. Right. And remember that it's the victors who write the texts. So they've been manipulated in favor of whoever wants to control you next. Yeah.

Come on, guys. Follow the science. Really? Did you ever look at the science on the masks? George, have you seen how many people? big things and small things can pass through those freaking masks. What a joke. But the local goodwill,

I dubbed her the mask Nazi. And she was adamant about, put it on, get out. And I was just like, God, your mask is too tight. The oxygen level is hurting you, lady. You know, like, come on.

Trust the science. My ass, if you did, you wouldn't put that on. Yeah. Because it's making you sick. Like, hello. I think the response to people that say trust the science should be like, that's company science. You know, you kind of like throw it back out. I'm like, no, no, that's company science. That's the same one that tells you smoking is good for you.

This is company science. It's bought and paid for by the people that are making money. So I do trust science on some level, but I don't trust company science because that is just propaganda. Listen, let's just do some math on some bigger things. All right. Yeah, I love this. Okay. So the stars are sort of still in the same place all the time around the course of a year.

If we were hurtling through space at how many thousand miles per hour, 66,166,166 miles around the sun every day. Stars wouldn't be where they are. We would be somewhere else entirely. We are not hurtling through space. it's just that's just right there just start right there with that lie we've been told right that this is you know the earth rotates this way really how are you going to explain the two sons that people are videotaping now in the sky there's two sons and there are different places sometimes they're together and i mean come on there's so much going on but people i don't want to know i can't

I didn't know I was supposed to know. But why would you tell me that? I don't. It doesn't affect my life. It does in this way. You've been lied to. And they're going to continue to lie to you until you wake up and realize that you can call bullshit and take your power back. That's actually what this book is about is take back authority over your life.

Gosh. We've been imbued with so much and been so dumb down. You know, it's interesting you brought up your wife being from Lous. I wonder what version of story they got. You know, the U.S. has just been duped so badly, so much. And I have compassion for it to a certain extent. But then after that, it's like, wake up. Don't be part of the problem.

Be part of the solution. Yeah. And that means being empowered. Isn't there, I believe there's a phrase in a famous book that says, my people shall perish from lack of knowledge. I don't read that book because I know who wrote it, and I know there's 155 chapters missing, and we could go into that, but we won't.

However, however, if you want to pick and choose some phrases, it's true. Yeah. You know, people will die in the dark, and they don't even see what's coming. And I feel for them, but you know what? If they don't start to question it, they're going to fall for it.

And ever since I was little, I was always like, but why? Yeah. Why? Beautiful question. I think that I have to say there might have been a moment where I wasn't that way. Here's how parents can really mess up a kid. I was standing there with my father, who I was fairly new acquainted with. I didn't know about him. I thought my stepdad was my dad.

And my little brother, you're younger, not the twins, the other one. he goes, dad, how come it is that we see the airplane, then we hear the sound? My dad puffs up because you'll see the chapter in here. My dad knows everything, just asking. Yeah, that guy. And he puffs up and he goes, well, son, there's the visual and light speed. He explains why you can see versus hear the plane. And then that wasn't enough.

He turns to me and goes, why don't you have? ever ask good questions. Oh, I was like, I'm eight. Why did you just kick me in the gut? Yeah. I'm trying so working hard. Are you going to do that? Is it any wonder I've grown?

I'm starting my 10th podcast. I ask a lot of questions. I can't help it interview the shit out of people. Come on. Yeah. No, it's really, honestly, I wasn't in response to that. But the reason I brought that story up is because people need to start asking questions. It's not a bad thing.

And it does threaten people who are holding through threads maybe together lies. It's all spun in this tenuous, tentative reality that don't ask, don't ask, it's going to, you know, how dare you ask? How dare you question me? Yeah. Who do you think you are? That's, you know, what narcissist will do. Yeah. Who do you think you?

Oh, I'm just stupid. Then they pull in this whole, well, I guess I'm just stupid. It's like, no, I just asked you to. own up to this part and could it work differently? No, he can't because you said so. Okay. No, we're going to have to be strong when it comes to standing up for ourselves. And I think we should get comfortable with like uncertainty. I think that's something that is what authority tries to replace with. Like people, hey, who knows where your next paycheck comes from? Who knows if you're going to die or who knows if you're going to get cancer?

But people definitely do not want to embrace uncertainty. And so when you when you give up, up uncertainty, you get authority. Okay, do this and you'll be fine. Okay, listen to me and you'll be fine. Some people, I don't know. I think we have to embrace uncertainty. What do you think? That is such an excellent point. My God, I'm glad you brought that up. I am. It is so true. Listen, it's as much of a risk. What is the stats on driving a car and being in a car accident? It's within two miles of your home, right? Right. Right. It's more danger. to drive to the grocery store, then across country, okay, according to the statistics. Right.

So there's risk inherent in everything we do in life. Shit happens. It can. Listen to your still small voice. If it says go right, freaking go right. Trust it. Don't have to why. Just go.

Just do it. But there is absolutely uncertainty in everything. Just because it's a pattern or a routine doesn't mean it's more certain. So we got to get our heads around that. there's nobody this savior complex stuff doesn't oh right another topic totally it's you know it's a false sense of certainty yeah here's the other thing i want to say when i was when i i had a lot happen by the time i was 12 and one of those things was uh i i was it we we thought it'd be fun to ride the waves uh there was a hurricane out over cuba and so south florida was getting waves over the

the pier and we rode our bikes me and my brother we were going to go body surfing or we took our we took our rafts we didn't know it would be that big of a wave right we didn't know the waves are that huge beaches closed no worries we're on bikes we're kids we don't care yeah and lo and behold george this little lifeguard we knew was there that day yeah he was a good guy yeah he was a good George, we were there a lot. And he took us out past where the waves were breaking. And, you know, it really wasn't that fun. I was getting kind of seasick riding these swells way past the pier.

And I was like, well, we were going to ride the waves in. I said, I'm going to go in. And so I start going in, and there's a place at which the waves crest and there's an undertow. And these waves are pounding down into the sand. And those weren't waves you could ride yet. It was too rough. What happened for me was I got taken out by one of those waves. And my raft was caught around my ankle.

And I tried to stand up. And then another one came. And I got knocked sideways and I couldn't tell what was going on. And then another one came. And I was face in the sand. And I couldn't figure out one end from the other. I was done. I could tell.

I was done. And there's a little bit of panic. And I'm sharing this story for a reason, guys. It's important. Yeah. So I knew I was drowning or something like that. And that's all I could say at the time. I didn't.

Here's why. In that moment, it was totally dark. I'm like, okay, according to the, let's see, the Jewish temple, the Christian Bible school, the Baptist church I went to. You know, like I was confused religiously, okay? They just don't jump here. Go to go to this for the summer. Bye, kid.

You know, we were just shipped off to whatever was convenient. But their bottom line was there's, there's, uh, your little life will flash before your eyes. There'll be a tunnel and some light. You're supposed to go to the light. Oh, okay. So I'm looking for all that, right? I'm like, literally I can feel something's happening. I pulled out of my body and there was no fear, no pain.

no worries. There was nothing. It was peaceful. It's some of the, I still remember it. It was like the biggest sense of peace that I have known. And I, and I'm, again, my mind's eye, I'm kind of looking around like, where am I supposed to go now? What's, what's happening now? And I wasn't sure if I was manufacturing it. Like, is there a light I'm supposed to be going to or something? I've, I've since learned. Don't do that because that's, you know, it's not reincarnation. It's reincarination. It's re-incarceration and and it is it's a soul trap to come come back just just decide to exit the matrix that's another topic but anyway here's what happened i had this experience and it was total bliss it's easier to die than it is to live it was so peaceful and i want people to know that

none of us is going to get out here out of here alive why why not live out loud like seriously go for it because if it's not your time, it won't be your time. Just like go. Just do. If it calls to you, it is for you. You know, what you want wants you even more than you want it. That's true. I love to say it.

Yeah. There's a reason. So, you know, so what happened, the reason I'm here to tell you this is so crazy. Mind you, beach is closed. Nobody's there. Except me and my brother. And George. They can't see what's going on.

The waves are so big. they have no idea what's happening. I could have just, you know, floated away. Yeah. But no, no, a stranger pulled me up from these incredible waves and sat me down on the shore, look me in the face and said, you okay? And I said, I think so. I think so.

Okay. And I watched him walk down the beach and disappear. And I sat out there I looked at the waves. Yeah, I've had some crazy shit happen. I looked at the waves and I was like, oh, that's when I got scared. Oh, I almost just died.

Oh, I almost just drowned. Yeah. I should have needed resuscitation, all things considered, to have had that out-of-body experience. Right. But I wanted people to know that when we lose somebody, when they crossed over,

they're in a better place. they are because it is peaceful. You don't have the recollection of all the stuff you went through. There's a disconnect that happens. Right. And it's cool. It's like, good for you. You got the ticket out.

Right. Right. So why don't we just, you know, take a step off the curb. Like crossing the, there's a little five lane highway out here. It's not like, you know, I-95. It's five lanes, though. Great. But if you step off the curb to cross the,

cross the highway. We've all done this. Yeah. At the right time. I mean, you know, make sure the traffic's not, right? Clear on your side. All you can account for is what's coming your way. You step across. You might have to pause in the center lane because the traffic going the other direction is still going. But you know what happens? How often, right? The traffic slows down. People wave you through or there's a break in the traffic. But none of that would have happened if he didn't step off the curb back there.

Nobody on this side knows, would you standing on the curb that you're going to need to cross five lanes? They're not going to stop for you. And that's the magic of moving forward. When we move forward, the doors can open, but only until we're about ready to put our hand on the handle.

Yeah. And then he happens. So just go for it. Live out loud. Take a chance. Do civil disobedience. You know, I have a great episode. It's the most popular one

on how to deal with a dumbass, a spiritual perspective. And it is with John, John Lukash, medical researcher who came up with all kinds of solutions to you know what and has very good success with that. Anyway, we had the best time. And he did 45 minutes the first time at 30 the next because he's full of it. He's full of ideas on civil disobedience. And he's just talking about pulling down sides and going, hell, no, I'm not doing it. I'm not.

And the people, the optometrists, you know, they're all like, you know, in skin suits and masked up. And it's like, wait a minute. You have to have this. You have to have that to get your eyes examined. He goes, fuck you. I just want to get my contact lens replaced. He's pulling sides down as he's walking out. He goes, stupid, stop him.

Yeah, yeah. That matters. If everybody did that, my God, it would be fun. Right. Yeah, it's, you can only be ruled if you obey the rules, right? And there's so many people. It's kind of amazing. Wait, say that again.

The only reason there's rules is because we obey them. Like, we make the rules. We make the rules not the people and authority. They can tell us to do things, but we choose whether to do them or not. And it just takes a few people to be like, no, I'm not doing that. I remember when COVID first came out, like, I was at the park with my daughter. And like, I don't really watch a whole lot of TV. So I'm at the park plan.

I'm like, this is epic. There's nobody down here. And this cop pulls up. Why is it so clear? Yeah. I'm like, this is amazing. Dude, yes, play. We're doing stuff.

And his cop pulls up and he gets out of his car. I'm like, hey, man, you can't be here. I'm like, why not? He's like, because there's a pandemic. I'm like, you kidding me? Pandemic? Really?

I don't see anybody dying. Like, I didn't even know about it. Like, they had just closed it for the first day. And I'm like, what are you talking about? And he looks at me. He's like, I don't know, man. They just told me I got to do. You guys can't be here.

You know, but he totally switched over. And he's like, and I'm like, seriously? I'm like, what are you going to do if I stay here? And he's like, dude, I got to write you a ticket, man. You're writing a ticket? Just following orders. Yeah, yeah. And that's another thing people should think about.

That makes my face go sideways. You're just following orders. Stop it. Stop following orders. Think about it for a minute. Is that something you really need to do? Everyone should read Victor Franco's book, Man Search for Meaning.

And then you should never follow orders again unless you think that those orders are something that are worth following. You know, it's this blind faith, this blind allegiance to a power structure that you have no idea has your best idea in mind. Here's another one, too, that really pisses me off on is the greater good. Who decides what the greater good is? Who gets to decide that for greater good for who? Doesn't that? That one really gets me.

Yeah, no, that's a very good point. And if we follow the money, we know who the greater good is. is and it doesn't include you and me you're not part of the greater good no and i'm like you idiots if you steal and kill all the peasants who you're going to rob next right right morons come on i mean seriously like have you thought this through no jesus it greater good yeah do harm to none yeah all those guys in white coats posing as as you know authoritarian figures are idiots not all of them but a lot of them and they're and they're and to do harm to The nun means do no harm to big harma.

Okay. Yeah, big harma. That's so funny. Bonnie, I, I, let's talk. No, no, don't end the show. I got to go to the dentist right now. And I can get drilled on on my tooth. I got a, I know.

I have put it off, George. Oh, you got to go do it. You got to get it done. Two things are the worst. Oh, you got your wrist is broken. This is why I didn't do it. I've had more friends going to the hospital and come out with something else. my friend this was outpatient that's what they said my friend went in for esophagus surgery he was also pure

two weeks later he died of a heart attack do the math because they make sure that you have did you do this are you going to do this what about the booster you how many did you get you know what they've they've shown that there's graphene oxide in these in the anesthetic for for dental yeah we need a we need a list of dissident dentist. That's a good point. I promise they've got to be out there. Yeah. Because I saw them spin, centrifuge spin that anesthetic.

And I know it's important, bro. Listen, it's embarrassing. I got, you know, Tennessee Hagletooth. I'm embarrassed. I usually have this gigantic smile and I'm just like, I have this part. You know, and it's because they've made it dangerous to go to a regular dentist, he spun the anesthetic, took a magnet. to the test tube and literally

combed the test tube and at the bottom was an accumulation of black stuff that is graphene oxide and that is very toxic. That's what's buried in these shots. Well, thanks for that.

Now I'm gonna... I know. We've got, look, through awareness and acceptance, like, oh, okay, it's like that, uh? Awareness, acceptance, and action equals change. So, I like it.

I have it on my board, the same board that I used to manifest a lottery winning a couple years ago. I wrote the numbers and I focused on it and I swear to God even knew the day. I wish it would happen again. But anyway, dissident dentist, dissident dentists. They have got to be out there because, you know, there were OBGYN saying, do not come to my office if you got that thing because you're going to cause my other patients to have a miscarriage. Get out. That's crazy. That happened.

Well, the shedding, right? Yeah, I had a guy, long and short of it is, I had nobody come over here. It ended up happening that. Seriously, some things seemed to be divine. And it was not a good divine, okay? Some things just seemed to be faded. Right. Even before I went out that afternoon, George, I was like, my intuition said,

clean up the house a little bit. And I was like, why? Nobody comes here. And I did it anyway. And I ended up having somebody visit. We were supposed to have a glass of wine at the bar, bar closed early. It was Sunday night. And we ended up here and I said, you sit down there. I'll sit at this end. The movie's in the middle. Here we go. Yeah. And it was the best I could do.

And I stood here before I sat down and my intuition said, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. And I sat down anyway. And what happened is he turned into a total octopus and he had his hands down my sweater. he was rough and I haven't been I haven't had a steady for a long time you know it's like oh it's nice to be touched yeah it was you know massage in here and this and that and you know I think guess what happened I was sick for a week after that I broke out in four kinds of hives my face was so swollen that my mouth was turned down like just I had you could see fingerprints wherever he touched me There were handprints on the back of my shoulder blades where he touched me through my jeans. The welts came through my jeans and transferred over to the other leg.

I did not know if it was ever going to go away. It was anywhere he touched me, there were tracks up and up around my ear, down my neck. Wherever he touched me blew out. I mean, shedding. What the hell was that? Wow. He was an American who'd just come from a Morocco music festival, so chances are he got some kind of fresh cocktail coming out of his skin.

Right? It was that bad. That's dirty. That's dirty. You got to come back, Lonnie. You got to come back and talk about Rattled Away. We haven't even touched on that yet. This is the new series that gets into the culmination of everything we've been talking about,
