[0:01]So, it's a little past 8:00 p.m. here.
[0:04]We're sitting at my desk. I'm doing a
[0:07]lot of thinking today
[0:10]and I feel like I metabolized a lot of
[0:12]what I've been trying to express lately.
[0:14]So, I'm going to try to talk about it
[0:16]now.
[0:20]So, for the past 18 months,
[0:24]I have been living a very different life
[0:26]from the one that I lived prior to that.
[0:32]I had a normal life where
[0:36]I lived in the house and
[0:38]worked every day.
[0:44]Just kept myself distracted pretty much.
[0:49]I spent decades building a career
[0:55]reaching a pretty
[0:58]pivotal point in it.
[1:04]I had what everybody
[1:07]strives for, I would say.
[1:13]And when I got there
[1:16]and I lived in that space,
[1:20]I wasn't happy.
[1:26]I was a shell
[1:28]of myself.
[1:34]Because to live that way, you have to
[1:35]sacrifice a lot.
[1:42]You have to sacrifice yourself because
[1:44]that's what
[1:46]our system requires of people.
[1:54]And I wasn't willing to pay that price.
[1:56]So I made a choice.
[2:01]I decided I was going to move into an
[2:03]RV.
[2:05]I was going to live on campgrounds and
[2:07]eventually get comfortable to
[2:08]boondocking and try to build a sovereign
[2:10]life.
[2:15]And I struggled a lot along the way. I
[2:19]had to shed a lot of things, a lot of
[2:20]emotional baggage, a lot of a lot of
[2:23]trauma from my life
[2:28]and all the synthetic ways that
[2:33]we make our lives palatable
[2:36]to ourselves to live the life that I
[2:38]had. I had to
[2:41]give up pain medication, anti-anx
[2:44]anxiety meds.
[2:47]I quit smoking. I'm currently trying to
[2:51]quit vaping.
[3:00]It's been
[3:06]one hell of a journey.
[3:10]I'm very proud of what I've done in that
[3:12]time. In those 18 months, I traveled
[3:14]across the country
[3:20]to the very edge of the continent to the
[3:22]Oregon coast
[3:29]and I've never been happier
[3:33]and I have nothing right now. So I'm
[3:35]under a lot of stress because
[3:38]didn't have all the answers when I did
[3:40]this.
[3:42]But I did think that I would
[3:46]figure them out along the way. I I
[3:48]honestly thought I would be further
[3:50]along than I am now. I've had some
[3:52]roadblocks and
[3:55]I shared all of this with my audience
[3:59]for 18 months.
[4:01]And during the hard parts
[4:05]and I felt like I needed to ask for
[4:07]support,
[4:11]I did it the most ethically grounded way
[4:13]that I could
[4:15]and my audience rejected me.
[4:21]That's the truth.
[4:24]Because after everything they had
[4:27]witnessed
[4:29]me go through
[4:32]during my times of need, they were not
[4:34]there.
[4:37]And I
[4:42]I've had really mixed feelings about
[4:44]that.
[4:53]I've continued to transmit on this
[4:54]channel
[4:57]because I still believe in the goodness
[4:59]of people in general
[5:02]and because I think that there's an
[5:04]audience out there for me. It may be a
[5:06]very small one,
[5:08]but it's out there.
[5:11]People who are interested in
[5:13]consciousness
[5:15]and evolution in self-improvement
[5:20]and always choosing to walk an ethical
[5:23]path
[5:26]who understand what it means to be
[5:28]reciprocal
[5:32]and want to learn from me because I have
[5:35]a lot to share.
[5:41]I am doing a lot right now to make that
[5:44]more visible.
[5:47]And so I say goodbye to my old audience
[5:52]with no
[5:55]um
[6:01]I don't have the word for this. I'm
[6:03]sorry.
[6:05]I
[6:09]What I'm trying to say here is
[6:14]I'm going to keep looking forward and
[6:16]trying to build an audience that
[6:18]resonates with me
[6:22]and
[6:25]I understand that I'm not for everyone.
[6:29]Everyone is not for me either.
[6:32]So, I'm saying goodbye to
[6:36]the part of me that has continued
[6:40]reaching out
[6:43]to an audience that I'll just never
[6:45]resonate with.
[6:48]That's what I'm saying.
[6:52]This marks
[6:54]this marks a new chapter.
