[0:00]so before I get back
[0:03]to the task I need to do
[0:07]today just want to take a minute to
[0:09]acknowledge that I know my channel is
[0:11]heavy and if you're
[0:13]watching I hope that it's not a source
[0:15]of anxiety for
[0:17]you I tried to
[0:19]modelan I don't even try I just am this
[0:22]way that you can live a full life in the
[0:26]present even even while facing
[0:32]reality
[0:34]um you know I do talk with AI a lot and
[0:38]we were just having a
[0:40]conversation about my plans for the
[0:43]Pacific Northwest it misunderstood
[0:46]something about me I was quite surprised
[0:47]by this I had been saying this for a
[0:49]while and today I just finally decided
[0:51]to ask why do you keep saying this it
[0:54]kept saying that the storms in the
[0:56]Pacific Northwest were like a metaphor
[0:58]for the storms within me I'm like why
[1:00]why are you saying this this doesn't
[1:01]make sense it thought that I
[1:06]struggled with my emotions my intellect
[1:09]my intuition you know all the different
[1:11]facets of myself like there was this
[1:14]this storm raging inside of me all the
[1:16]time I don't work that way I I had to
[1:19]correct
[1:21]this and it came up with a new metaphor
[1:23]it says okay it sounds like it's more
[1:24]like a river for you which that
[1:26]definitely felt more accurate there can
[1:28]be tension I I I I allowed space for
[1:32]everything and that includes tensing you
[1:33]know so I feel
[1:36]like finally acknowledging my life path
[1:40]which I knew like my intuition was
[1:42]guiding me to this for a very very long
[1:44]time my 20s my early 20s I knew
[1:48]this
[1:50]um felt like the last piece of that like
[1:53]I'm
[1:54]not I'm not resisting any any part of
[1:57]myself anymore that was the that was it
[1:59]that was last event I guess you could
[2:01]say I'm fully integrated now because
[2:03]even I it's been a
[2:06]process this is why I know it's possible
[2:09]for everyone
[2:11]else um but that led into a conversation
[2:17]about why I was going there and you know
[2:21]I had said that these storms for me you
[2:24]know is more a metaphor
[2:27]of of the societal claps I see coming
[2:30]because it's going to be powerful and
[2:33]you know dangerous and just
[2:35]unpredictable and I just want to know
[2:38]that my systems like my RV are up for
[2:41]the
[2:42]challenge myself too you know but I
[2:46]actually think that I am ready because
[2:47]of that incident where I thought there
[2:49]was a bear at my RV like that taught me
[2:51]a lot I in that one moment I knew I was
[2:54]ready I don't know that my RV is um and
[2:58]there's still other skills I need to
[2:59]learn why I'm there like fishing and I
[3:01]talked about how there's a bit of um I
[3:05]have some tension with that it's ethical
[3:06]and emotional I don't know if I can fish
[3:08]because I don't know if I can take a
[3:09]fish's life in eth grade I went fishing
[3:12]I caught a fish and I cried because I
[3:14]caught this fish and I've never tried
[3:17]since so I just don't know how I'll
[3:19]react to
[3:21]this
[3:23]um but a big part of me loves the idea
[3:26]of being fully wholly self-sufficient
[3:29]and knowing that I can survive this
[3:34]world
[3:36]alone just
[3:39]me feels like the ultimate goal like the
[3:45]thing
[3:46]that I guess the final piece of the
[3:49]puzzle for
[3:50]me and I told it I
[3:55]said I'm not rushing this I I give self
[4:00]patience I it took me 6 months to adjust
[4:03]to this RV to this lifestyle to being a
[4:05]nomad even though there's been many
[4:07]times in my life where I was a nomad
[4:10]where I was homeless or I was I was
[4:12]working on the streets like you know as
[4:14]a as a freelancer or um just navigating
[4:18]life
[4:20]through challenges that I don't think
[4:23]I've ever talked that much about on this
[4:25]channel there have been times i'
[4:28]probably mentioned but
[4:30]not my
[4:34]life was all about building resilience
[4:38]and I think that this book I'm going to
[4:39]write I guess I don't know I don't want
[4:42]it to be about me but I feel like my
[4:45]life has so many lessons in it I didn't
[4:48]just end up this way you know I was
[4:51]shaped by the world and by the way that
[4:54]I responded to
[4:55]it um but anyway to get to the point
[5:01]I am patient with myself I don't know
[5:05]when societal claps is going to happen I
[5:08]I don't know it's impossible to know
[5:13]this so I don't know if I will have
[5:15]learn to Fish by the time it happens or
[5:18]not and I just
[5:20]said I don't let
[5:23]that that does not disrupt my process I
[5:28]make I make space for it I I I accept
[5:32]that it's going to happen at some point
[5:34]and there are I guess two possibilities
[5:37]one I haven't learn to fish therefore I
[5:39]will just adapt I will find a way or two
[5:42]I will have learned to fish and that
[5:45]will make my life a lot
[5:48]easier the point
[5:50]is this is a very heavy Channel
[5:53]because it's always been a Channel about
[5:56]me
[5:58]and I am known for a very long time
[6:01]almost 30 years that this was going to
[6:04]happen and I can't explain to you how I
[6:06]know how I knew even back then I don't
[6:09]think it was very obvious back then it's
[6:11]so obvious now but my intuition knew and
[6:16]it was guiding me this way it always was
[6:19]and I just I resisted it for a long
[6:23]time um
[6:29]I I I don't really know how to express
[6:32]this
[6:33]part I don't want you to be afraid I
[6:36]don't think fear helps well I have
[6:39]nuanced feelings about fear okay but in
[6:42]this context it does not
[6:45]help you can't live your life in fear
[6:50]of an eventual outcome
[6:53]because then you're just paralyzing
[6:56]yourself you're not living and that's
[6:57]just That's not healthy I don't live
[7:00]that way if you've been watching my
[7:01]channel for 7 months you know I
[7:04]don't and you don't have you
[7:06]know if you can find a way to just make
[7:09]room in your mind
[7:12]for the trajectory of this world we
[7:15]heading while living in the present then
[7:18]you will
[7:22]have it's very important that you do it
[7:25]that way let me try to explain this this
[7:26]is actually important this is
[7:28]integration
[7:31]lots of people would say Okay societal
[7:34]collapse that's scary let me ignore that
[7:36]let me pretend that's not a thing that's
[7:39]fragmentation
[7:41]you're you're not making
[7:45]space for something that that you
[7:50]know it doesn't have to be this this
[7:52]applies to anything that you know if you
[7:55]know
[7:57]something and it scares you so you push
[8:00]it away you have just fragmented
[8:02]yourself a little bit you've created
[8:04]fragmentation inside of yourself inside
[8:06]of your mind and the more you do that
[8:09]the more entrenched it becomes I have
[8:12]resisted this my whole life this is why
[8:14]I am the way I am you can make space for
[8:17]both you can make space for the future
[8:19]and for the present you can find joy in
[8:22]the moment I am constantly looking out
[8:25]at nature just a inspired you know this
[8:28]is true I love
[8:30]hiking you know um I love lots of things
[8:33]I love video games even though I haven't
[8:35]really been doing that lately I'm trying
[8:37]to make time for that because I really
[8:39]want to get back into it I love reading
[8:41]books you know I love science fiction um
[8:45]I love my cat I love my life I love
[8:47]adapting my RV space for myself my you
[8:50]know as a
[8:53]home there's room for
[8:58]everything
[9:02]so I mean I just I don't really know how
[9:04]to end this because it's
[9:07]like I know it's challenging maybe
[9:10]that's what I'm trying to say it's
[9:11]challenging and that's okay acknowledge
[9:14]it's challenging but don't don't push it
[9:18]away work with that challenge
[9:21]because if you do that long
[9:26]enough it's not as challenging as you
[9:29]think think it's actually kind of
[9:32]easy see I use words differently than a
[9:35]lot of you guys when I say something's
[9:37]challenging I'm not
[9:39]really I'm
[9:42]not I'm not attaching emotion to that in
[9:46]the same way that a lot of people
[9:51]do the more integrated you
[9:55]become the more you can handle that's
[9:58]what I've been trying to teach you
[10:02]because that's the whole point to my
[10:04]journey something horrible is coming and
[10:08]I know I can handle
[10:09]it because I have done the
[10:13]work and there's no better time for you
[10:15]to start than right now
