Detoxing the Barriers to Your Unlimited Success

Introduction and Deborah Pon's Background 0:00

Welcome back to the reverse Autoimmune Disease Summit series. Everybody of course you're joining me for the fourth of the series, the Autoimmune Detox. And I'm delighted to bring to you, Deborah Pon, a man who is an award winning speaker, bestselling author, sought after seminar leader, talk show host, and an in-demand media guest. As a speaker, Deborah delivers high energy, content rich, deeply impactful presentations that stay with audience members long after she leaves the stage. She began her speaking career in 1980 while she was working as an account executive for an LA investment firm.

She attended a seminar called Money Magic, and although she thought she was going to a financial tutorial to help her career, the seminar leader shared radical ideas about how prosperity is really created, ideas that had nothing to do with investing wisely, but rather using energetic tools and the power of the mind to create your ideal life. In early 1981, she founded yes two success seminars company dedicated to teaching enlightened, timeless principles of success and prosperity coupled with new solutions in contemporary language.

She's also a certified meditation teacher through both the Art of Living Foundation and the Transcendental Meditation organization, and has taught meditation to thousands of individuals and in companies throughout the world. Welcome to this series, Deborah. Thank you so much. I love that introduction. I haven't heard it in years. I forgot I did all those things. I know sometimes I hear my bio being read by someone else like, oh, that sounds like a really interesting person, right? I just, you know, I remember that I became a meditation teacher in the early 70s, and it's part of my, my journey.

But, anyway, I had forgotten some of those other things, so thank you for reminding me. Let me remind you of another thing. And that is, I think a lot of times when people are pulled to a spiritual path, then it seems to go with near-death experiences. I've had three of those. And so I know that you had a near-death experience. And, if you want to kind of describe what that experience was for you. Yes. Because when you were talking about you said that you would like me to talk about detoxing something.

I thought, well, I'm not a health expert, although I do do detoxes often. We'll talk about that some time that my daughter and I got the Optimum Health Institute together at least twice a year, and we detox lots of wheatgrass juice. But what I do teach people how to do is to detox habits that are keeping success away from them. And one of the things that I taught since 1980, when I founded my Yes to Success company, so that was over 40 years ago, is the power of our thoughts to create our reality.

And then, of course, the secret made that kind of into a household concept. And even though I taught it for decades, it wasn't until I had the near-death experience that I realized, oh my goodness, it's true. I'm teaching because what happened was, I mean, I knew it from my own life that I could speak things into existence, and I could tell you a million stories of instead of complaining that I was driving a beat up old Chevy Bel Air that my aunt had given me,

Near-Death Experience and the Power of Words 3:34

I went and got a picture of a Mercedes when I was broke, and I put it up on my bulletin board and I would look at it and say, that's for me. And I would visualize myself in it. And literally within three years, somebody gave me that exact Mercedes. True, true, true gave me that exact Mercedes. When when he called and he said, would you like a Mercedes? I said, well, what color is that? You know, who wanted the navy blue one? But what happened was about six years ago, you know, usually when I get sick, I feel a little sore coming on.

Whatever. I don't even like to name it. I just takes a mechanic is just some golden seal, you know, load up on electrolytes, and it never really takes hold. I'm such an incredibly healthy person, and this time I did all of those things and it didn't go away. As a matter of fact, the first time I had this little tickle on my throat was on a Monday. And I remember on the Saturday lying in bed and I was sicker than I had ever been in my life. And I remember thinking I could die here because I was living alone at the time, and my husband and I were separated, and I thought, I better do something because people might not find me for several days.

So I did what any intelligent person would do. I called my favorite healer and my favorite healer said, I will help you, but you have to promise that you'll do exactly what I tell you to do. So I said yes, anything because I really thought I was going to die, but it was more like yes. And he said, call 911 immediately. Well, I was so fading at that point. I said, you do it. So he called 911 and the paramedics came. They had to break in because I couldn't even get up out of the bed. And they said, what hospital do you want to go to?

I said, Evanston, and they commiserated and realized they didn't have 11 minutes to get me to Evanston. So they took me to a little hospital around the corner. And when I got into the air, they started hooked me up to every tube and and machine imaginable, trying to save my life. My blood pressure was 52 over 28 at the time, which is kind of incompatible with life. And it turned out that I had two. It was an advanced acute sepsis. And you know what an acute sepsis is. About 50% of the people don't survive.

It's bacteria in the blood. I had to I had just come back from a developing country, and I guess I wasn't that careful. And it could sit in your blood for a while and then manifest. So anyway, as I was lying there, I started dying. And I started, you know, that experience of leaving the body. I know you've had near-death experiences yourself. And while I was in this place between life and death, I saw two things. I saw that, you know how we say there are no mistakes in the universe? I saw that there were no mistakes in the universe.

I saw that there was this beautiful, radiant, divine light that was actually orchestrating everything that was going on in the room, that this divine white light was moving the doctor's hands. And I remember when one of the nurses, she fumbled an IV back and dropped it on the gurney, and everybody shattered these like glances, like, you idiot. But I saw that she moved her head down, and she moved it away from a monitor, that somebody ran across the room and made an adjustment and saved my life. And it was like the, you know, the wheels on a fine.

What? What do you call it? A fine too fine to watch. Whatever. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, so then. So I'm thinking, oh my gosh, this is crazy. Everything is orchestrated. There are no mistakes. And then my husband showed up because my healer had called him and he sat down and it didn't look like I was going to live. It looked really bad. And I saw a little tear going down his face, and I saw the nurse noticed it also, and she went over and she put her hand on his shoulder and she said, don't worry, she's going to be fine.

And when she said the words, she's going to be fine. I'm telling you, Keisha, I saw the words come out of her mouth and they were accompanied by this pink light. It was kind of like My Little Pony rainbow sparkly light right? That it and words. She's going to be fine. Coming in by the light went into me, spread throughout my body and gave me all my strength back. Wow. That's the word. She's going to be fine. And I'm thinking, oh my goodness, your word is your wand is. Catherine Ponder would say your words do have the power over life and death and then it got even crazier because the doctor came in, looked at my blood pressure and said, in this really kind of gruff voice, get that blood pressure up or we're going to lose her.

And when he said, we're going to lose her out of his mouth, I saw this brown, gray gunk. It even smelled like a swamp. It was so, like, disgusting. We're going to lose her. It went out of his mouth into my body, and it took my strength away. And I remember making a deal with God at that moment. I said, please, I said, please let me live. And I promise you two things. One, I would tell everybody that your word really can create your reality. And I also promise I will never say anything again that I don't want to happen.

I will never say, oh, you know, my son, so this is my daughter. So this I mean, I say funny things that I know that they love to like when I say my daughter is so crazy, she loves being crazy, you know, that's her identity. But I used to say all these things about my kids that I didn't want and they didn't want, and I made the promise, and I have I been 100% successful? No. Have I been probably 99% successful? My friends, I enjoy them with how positive I am, but I do not want to say anything that I do not want to manifest.

Because I saw the mechanics of creation in that moment between life and death. That's so beautiful. Like, I love the articulation of My Little Pony, because when what? My last near-death experience, I went into this grid of light that had geometrical like, it's it's the flower of life in the vase that we're connecting. We're we're lit up. They represented each one of us. And the ones that were lit up really bright were the ones that were doing what you're talking about. Like really moving in this space of I love.

I accept life, I, I'm here to make light, make all of it happen. Right. And the ones that were dark on the grid were the ones that were like, brown. I can't this is terrible. I see why me? This shouldn't be happening to me. I don't deserve this. And it was actually affecting the strength of our life support system here on the planet. And I got it. I was like, oh, each one of us is so important. And how we show up in the world, like how much light, you know, is actually beating that grid and how crazy is that, that we both thought in terms of light, and we both basically saw the same thing that when you say negative things, I can't I'll never I'll never be successful this or that.

We're creating it. And you saw this. Those dark bars and I saw it is that brown gunk. But it was both dark that it was so fantastic. And so one of the things that, you have found in your life is that when and do something differently that men than men, that keeps us in a small place. What is oh my goodness, we do many things that keep us small. So one thing that it talk about detoxing. We have got to detox our powerlessness, this thing, these lies that we were told about us being not as powerful as men.

We think that we're liberated. We think that we're feminist. But it has been told to us our entire lives, you know, by our mothers who are conditioned and our fathers who are conditioned, and our teachers and our clergy and all of that. And so these lies get embedded in our psyche, even when we are doing things that are powerful, we still have these tapes running in the background that we are less than powerful. So I just tell people these little things that they can do to increase their, to detox their powerlessness and decrease their power.

And some of them are so simple. Can I give you a few, please? Okay. So about ten years ago, I read this article in Forbes that I've loved to refer to ever since. In the article, it was listed ways that women can stop being so complacent and accommodating and start being more powerful. And the article said that if we did these things, it would make a big difference in the way we were perceived in life and in the workplace. And one thing that was suggested was to use more powerful language. And one of the ways they said we can get started is by getting rid of the word just.

And I'm thinking, really get rid of the word. Just what is that going to do? But at work? So here's an example. What we usually say is, oh, I'm just checking in to see or I just wanted you to know or oh, I just called because. So they suggested listening to yourself for a week and listen to how many times you say just. And instead of I'm just checking in at, I'm checking in. I just wanted you to know, I wanted you to know because it's an energetic thing, right? Oh, I just called because I called because.

So can you feel the energetic difference? Yeah, totally. It's totally changes your energy field. And I remember I took the one week challenge. This was ten years ago, and I was astounded to notice that I hardly spoke a declarative sentence without modifying my power with the word just. And. And I also found that it was kind of scary for me to eliminate it, because it wasn't as nice. When you soften it with just, then you're nicer. Okay, here's another one. Women often let other people take credit for our ideas.

Okay, it goes like this. You bring up a point in a meeting and nobody hears you because you kind of whisper, okay, and then later someone else. Sometimes, not always, but more often than not, it might be a male and they repeat your thought. And people applaud this great idea. And when you stay silent and let others take credit for your ideas, you give your power away. So I say, take the credit back. And here's one way you can do it is simply say, thank you, John, for bringing up that idea that I proposed earlier.

And I have done it because usually I'm just like, whatever. And now I do that and there's sometimes some awkward silence. But again, it's an energetic thing and one other, and this is the quintessential way that we give our power away is when we have the knee jerk say yes to everything, right? And again, it's more of a female thing. But when you say no to something that doesn't totally feel right for you, you're not really saying no. You're actually saying yes. You're saying yes to yourself and to your needs and instead of someone else's needs.

And when you take care of your deepest needs in the long run, ultimately everyone else will be taken care of. But when we don't say when we don't say no, it's only because we want approval and we want people to like us. And we don't want to seem like we're selfish. But the behavior comes at the expense of your own health and happiness. So I say, next time you're about to say you're spontaneous, yes, remember that you're allowed to pause. So pause. Take a breath. Give yourself a few moments before you respond and ask yourself if it's really a yes.

And remind yourself that time is not a renewable resource. And you could remind yourself that the world, in fact, will go on even when you say no, and then give your genuine answer. And if you're not sure, you could always say, you know, I'm not sure if that will work for me. It's a lovely idea. Can I get back to you tomorrow? I know Warren Buffett, my favorite quote. He says the difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.

I've heard that before.

Detoxing Powerlessness and Speaking Up 16:48

Been practicing it too. And the more you do it, you know I always say when we do something outside our comfort zone, if this is where you've been playing in your life and you're afraid to do something outside your comfort zone, which is like saying no, you know, we start practicing with somebody who tries to give you some perfume, sample when you're walking to the department store. I learned this from my friend Marcy Child. Like you say, I'm sure it's lovely, but no, thank you. Like, I wasn't that hard.

So now your comfort zone is a little bit bigger. Okay. And then when the telemarketer calls, you could say, you know, I I'm. I would love to say yes to you because you sound like the nicest person, but not right now. That wasn't so hard. And now your comfort zone is this bug. And every time you say no, then your comfort zone gets bigger and bigger. Beautiful. So you've got, I've met one of your children that your your lovely Diana is a chiropractor who's been over the last two evenings at my house helping adjust my back, which has been so lovely.

She has a brother who she told me the story of last night was was kind of rocking it at the at a young age, at 15, I think is what she said right in high school. So tell me the story of his success rules that how he got there. Well, I love this. Okay. I'll tell you the whole story. And again, it is it's a principle of success. And it's a principle of again, detoxing an old habit. And that will absolutely lead to incredible success in your life. But let me tell you a little story about him, how it came about.

Okay, so Daniel loved basketball from the time he was a baby. Okay. Literally the kid was holding on before he could even walk. And he's shooting hoops and his little Fisher-Price, you know that yellow and blue. And then rebel Fisher-Price. I bet your boys or girls had to do, usually just the boys. And that would give it to the girls too. But anyway, and then when he got older, when he was a freshman in high school, he, got on the A-Team. The only problem is, he was the only white kid. And white kids decidedly cannot jump.

And yet he had to go to all of the basketball games around Chicago. He had to go to the freshman games and the junior varsity and the varsity games. And since he was on the bench, the whole time, he noticed, though, when he was watching the other games, that he had an eye for talent, that he could actually pick out the people who would not only make it into the best colleges, but who would even go into the leagues one day, right? And he started his own website called Illinois High School basketball.com when he was like 15 years old.

And he became known as they go to scout for college coaches who are looking for high school talent in Chicago. I mean, I could tell you some crazy stories, like, you know, the system coach from Harvard flying into Chicago and and showing up at the game. And, and we had to drive him there because he, he was 15, he didn't have his license. And the guy walked in and he was like, looking for Daniel Parham. And there's this kid's with a mouth full of braces equals I am Daniel. And the look on this guy's face.

But anyway, so what happened was, was that, actually there was a full page article about him in Sports Illustrated when he was 16. Like college hoops coaches seek the advice of the 16 year old scout. But the part of the story that I that is the lesson that he taught me was that, he looked around and he realized that the Derrick Rose is in the Anthony Davis of the world that didn't really need him, although he did discover Anthony Davis. You could look on Google Kid who discovered Anthony Davis. You know, he's on the Lakers. And that was my son.

But he looked and he's in he has a very, very kind heart. And he realized that the Division two kids that nobody was putting on showcases for them. And if they were, they were charging him an arm and a leg and they couldn't afford to be in the showcases to be seen by college coaches. So at the age of 16, he decided that he was going to start a nonprofit, and he was going to put on the showcases for Division two kids. In his first showcase, he had, about ten coaches and about 30 kids, and he collected money.

He didn't make the kids pay. It was all free. Collected money, mostly from my friends. And, and then the next year, maybe it was like 30 coaches and maybe 60 kids, and it grew and grew. And today, my son has now raised over $50 million in college scholarship money for the kids on the South and West sides of Chicago. What is the lesson that he taught me? Well, as he was getting more and more kids scholarships and generating literally millions of dollars for these, college programs that he would get them top players for, he wasn't taking a penny for himself in one day.

I said to him, Daniel, I love what you're doing, but don't you think there's a way that you can pay yourself? And he said to me, mom, be patient. I'm building relationship capital. And I said, all right. He said, you just have to watch. You just have to be patient. I said, okay, so then more months passed, maybe a year. And again, I'm like, Daniel, I know that you've generated like a few more million dollars in scholarship money, maybe a little bit for yourself. He's his mom. You just have to trust me.

And of course, he said, and chill. He's our relationship capital. So the end of the story is, as the years went on, everybody wanted to be on team Daniel. He wanted to make a movie on basketball in Chicago, a documentary that showed that basketball was the only way out for a lot of these kids. And somebody gave him half $1 million to make his movie because he had built relationship capital that, somebody else who he had built relationship capital with, was an NBA player. So I didn't have to collect money from my friends anymore.

And they. And he gave him $20,000 that the NBA match to put on his showcases. And then big shoe brands and clothing brands because he knew people who he had built relationship capital with, started sponsoring his showcases. And then ultimately he now owns a, sports management firm that's called beyond dot am not.com beyond that. Am and he, is the agent manager and he has 16 people working for him. He's still in his 20s. He has 16 employees, and they. And he is the, agent manager for, a ton of NBA players and, and NFL players.

And the person who, invested in that company, who he had built relationship. He just who noticed that Daniel was helping all these kids and not taking a penny for himself, noticed Daniel and gave him millions to start his management firm. So. And but here's the end of the story. So I said to him one day, Daniel, thank you so much for teaching me that concept of relationship capital. And he said, mom, what are you talking about? I said, you know how you didn't take money and you built relationship capitalism?

Mom, I learned it from you. I said, you dad. He said, yeah, it's the same thing that you teach. You teach that if you want true success, that you have to treat everybody as the most important person in the world. That's one of the things I teach in my Yes to Success seminars, that the person standing in front of you at every given, any given moment is the most important person in the world. And not to judge by the way they wear their hair, their crooked glasses, their other day suit. If they're standing in front of you, whatever they're saying is the most important thing that you could be hearing right now.

And don't look around the room to see if there's somebody more important to talk to. And he said, mom, I learned that from you. And I just gave it a name, and it's so interesting because in my own career, the reason why I was able to become successful is because when I started my Yes to Success Company, you know, Marcy, I'm up. Who is the number one female nonfiction author of all time? She sold 16 million chicks and sell books. And, also happy for no reason to love for no reason. She came up to me after one of my seminars.

This tiny little thing. She was a college student. I want to work for you. I don't work here. I said, well, you're in college. I'm going to quit. And I just listened to her. I gave her my full attention. I treated her is the most important person in the world. And she was brilliant. I mean, the woman is still one of the most brilliant business minds I have ever met in my life. She left college, much to her parents dismay. She became my personal assistant, and a lot of my success is because I didn't dismiss her.

Because she was this bouncy little college student. I listened to every word she had to say. And then when I, you know, I took my 21 year hiatus to be a full time mom at home, I left the world. Speaking in 1988, came back in 2009. And, one of the reasons why I was able to have $1 million launch out of the gate is because Marcy invited me to,

Relationship Capital and Building Success 26:18

co-found Your Year of Miracles with her, which is still going strong. And, and another person who I built, relationship capital of Janet Atwood, who is the founder of the Passion Test. As soon as she knew that I was coming. But actually, she was the one who made me come back and become a speaker. She actually once said to me, Debbie, when are you going to stop pretending that your kids still need you and get back on the stage? And you know what I said to her? I said, you know, Janet, I don't know if my kids ever really needed me.

There are plenty of wonderful kids that were raised by nannies and in daycare, and by foster parents and grandparents and aunties, so I don't know if they ever really needed me, but I know that I needed them, and it was really hard for me to give it up. Because you know what? I love you. Mommy is worth more than a thousand standing ovations. So. But she said, that's a they're 18 years old. They could read Harry Potter to themselves. Oh, and so I got back on the speaking circuit. She got me relationship capital because I had put her on my stage, you know, 21 years before.

She didn't have any speaking, experience. But I liked her and I put her on my stage. 21 years later, there were New York Times bestselling authors. Who do you think? And they immediately put on their stage. Yeah. Relationship capital. It's the only capital you really need. It's true. And so you coming from meditation teacher. Right. And starting a company, it was it only relationship capital or was there something else. Well, it's interesting they should say that because I worked for the TM organization for so many years and, and so I kind of had a built in audience all over the world, you know, people, because there was a TM teacher there alone is TM teacher's teaching success.

So but again, it's because I taught TM for years for nothing. A tiny, tiny little stipend, just because I saw how much it did for people. I didn't care about the money. So that was it. Yeah. Years. Years. It always comes back to you. But also here's the other thing. I think the reason why my Yes to Success seminar is so successful, it's been successful. The, you know, from 1980 when I founded the company, to 1988, when I gave it up to be home with my kids. And then now again, it's because I don't just teach how to have the beautiful house and the Tesla and the driveway, which there is nothing wrong with.

But I teach people how to create inner silence, because if you don't have that inner silence first, you can walk into that house. But it'll be like walking into a Hollywood movie set. There's nothing there on the other side. The most beautiful house on in the country is not going to take away the emptiness. It's not going to fill the emptiness. So we have to start filling that emptiness inside with meditation, with practices that, increase our silence and our self-love. And then it's much easier to create success on the outside because you have that just like it's easier to build a building when you have a found, silent, strong foundation, it's easier to build a building of success when you have a silent, strong foundation of self-love and the silence that meditation brings you while you're anchoring to like an Irish Vedic medicine.

They talk about the five layers, right? So we have our physical body that has our DNA and our organs and our tissues and all of those pieces that we feed and water and take for walks. But then the out, the fifth one is that connection to the collective unconscious, right? That's our spiritual porta portal or Ananda Maya kosha. If you're anchored to that one, then you have access to your mental emotional world, your higher consciousness, your energetic body, your physical body actually has is being fed through that, you know, and and that doesn't just that takes some practice.

You have to be able to have those practices that allow for that anchoring. Otherwise you don't get that bliss consciousness all the time. When you want it on, you know, on demand, so to speak. Yes. And actually, one of the things that I teach, I, I take them through the project, the, five sheets. Yeah. I do a bunch of kosher meditation, as I'm sure you do, because it's very basic meditation, beginning meditation, doing conscious kosher and taking people through the five sheets or the five coaches.

Yeah. And, you know, I think people, don't realize that that that place that you can get glimpses of, you can actually have that all the time if you're not toxic in the other layers. Right? Absolutely. And again, that's the thing. You know, people say to me what is real success? And I say, well, success is when you feel successful. But I think that success is loving what it is. And when you are anchoring in that silent depths of yourself, if you get the bestselling book, great. If you don't get the bestselling book, great, right?

You see the perfection and everything. You don't even have to tell yourself, oh, it must be for the good. You spent it when you are anchored to the silent depths of yourself, then you spontaneously see the perfection in everything. So success is loving what is spontaneously, and success is having the different layers, having the self-love, being able to contribute. And yeah, having the outer success. There is nothing wrong with having a beautiful home. My daughter says your home is beautiful by the way.

And there's nothing wrong with it. As long as you don't think that that's what's going to make you happy, right? Well, in the the other piece around this that I think is so important is that also the loving what is happens in the form of loving your Hashimoto's thyroiditis or your rheumatoid arthritis or your cancer or your Ms.. That's really not yours, right? When you say mine, it's actually just a manifestation of the physicality, giving you information about toxicity in these other layers, you know, and it's it's like data.

And so if you can love it for showing up and, and giving you that data, that information, then there's not this intense contracting around it that, that says, I have to get rid of it as fast as I can. I to get out of my suffering. I have to get out of pain, you know, it's like, oh, hey, I'm listening. I, I used to tell you a great story about that. We have time for one more story. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Okay, so I always say to people like, you're just saying to have gratitude for everything of it, right?

Not just gratitude. When you get the parking space right in front of the the office, but gratitude when you have to drive around the block five times and then park. I mean, I remember I live in Chicago and when my husband and I, got divorced, I said, you keep the house. We had a beautiful house on the lake. And I said, I just felt like getting my own little apartment, you know, a little cozy space. And. But I was so kind of not wanting to live in this bourgeois neighborhood that I got a place that didn't have indoor parking in Chicago.

You know, where it could be? 30 below with the wind chill. So. But I remember one time I could not find a parking space and I two big bags of groceries, and it literally was like sleeting. And it was about 20 below the windshield. And the sleet went onto my eyelids and it actually, the tears froze. It was so cold out and I couldn't open my eyes because the tears frozen. They froze, my eyes shut. And, I mean, it was like a horror movie, right? And as I'm carrying the groceries, trying to open my eyes and going, thank you, God, thank you.

Oh, and it was so great because when I went in and and and I realized I'm leaving, there's no reason for me to live in Chicago. And by the next few months later, my daughter and I moved to California. So that's what I was saying. Thank you, God, for this miserable, horrible weather because it gave me the idea. And then all kinds of possibilities opened up in Chicago. I mean, in, California. But that wasn't even the story is going to tell you. So one time I belong to this group called the Transformational Leadership Council, which Jack Canfield started years ago.

And, we were having a meeting up at a resort, in Napa, and we only get to be the speakers once every few years because there was like over 100 of us. And we're pretty much all speakers. So this was my TLC that I got to be the speaker. I was so excited. And the first night I was there, I left something in my car, you know, and so I like ran across this lawn instead of taking the sidewalk. And I thought that the lawn went right into the sidewalk. But the lawn ended. And then there was a drop that connected with the sidewalk, and I tripped and I broke my right foot, sprained my right ankle and badly, badly bruised.

It could have been broken. My left kneecap. And I remember lying there in the worst pain, probably, that I had ever had in my life. Can you even imagine? And it was late at night and there was nobody around, and I couldn't walk because it was my foot, my ankle and my other leg. Well, and I lie there going, thank you God, you got to the God of my understanding. Thank you God. Thank you God. Thank you God, because I know that you say thank you. And I know what I had to bring me something good. I am.

I really do live my teaching. I have to say, I don't teach anything that I don't do. So I'm lying there and there was miracle after me. I could see Jean Houston and a like in her little villa, which was about 50ft away. And I watched and I'm going she Jean I could not I could not like eke out a g g I mean because I the wind was so knocked out of me and I could just tell you miracle after miracle. But I'll tell you one thing. A few minutes later, the triage was in my room. Helping me. I don't even know how I got to my room.

Nobody knows how I got to my room. I might have crawled, but I don't think I crawled because I couldn't have put pressure on my knee. I couldn't have walked, but I wasn't, and nobody took me and said that they brought me in. And then I'm lying in bed and I said, but they said, what do you want? I said, I want to mortar to doctors, to mortar to come and work on me. And I said, but don't call her because it was like 11:00 at night, and I didn't want to bother her. And all of a sudden I hear this, and I said, Marcy, my Marcy went, Marcy to come and take care of me, but I don't want to bother her.

And then I hear these voices. I said, well, you go outside. And who that who that is. It was Marcy and Sue taking a walk at 11:00 at night. And this is a huge, like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of acres, you know, a resort with little villas all over the place. They happened to be walking past my little villa at that moment. So again, I mean, I could go on and on. They said they wanted me to get a scalar wand, and the only person we knew that had a scalar one was Jennifer McClain. And while we're saying about, well, should we wake her up,

Meditation, Inner Silence, and True Success 38:08

we hear a knock on the adjoining door to my room. It was Jennifer McClain. And the reason I share that with you is because I think when you say thank you, then it's like all the energies of the universe are like. That is so sweet of you to say thank you. I know right there. You're right. So those are just a few ways I got taken care of by saying thank you instead of why did this happen to me? And I have to give my lecture and no, I can't walk and I am in so much pain, and what am I going to do when I go home?

Thank you God. Thank you God, because we know that everything is in our favor, that the God of our understanding does not do anything that isn't in our best interest. But we will see it much more quickly if we say thank you much more quickly. I love that story. I got in an accident a couple of Novembers ago and and as it was happening, I was saying the same thing. Thank you. Thank you. And then and then sitting there, you know, like waiting for the impact of other cars on the freeway, which didn't happen, you know, because I could just feel this bubble just went up around me and then saying, okay, so what am I supposed to see that I'm not seeing, you know, and just inviting that, like, what do you want me to see?

And like, that's a whole nother thing. But it was just amazing when I invited that, you know, it immediately came up. Oh, here it is. Okay. Thank you. Right. Yeah, I love that. I think we're twins separated at birth number one. But number two. What? What is good about this that I'm not saying, which is I also say that what is right about this that I am not getting I got that from access consciousness. What is right about this that I'm not getting. But what happened was, you know what I got a first.

I was going to cancel my talk because I was going to work on it for a few days, but I was in so much pain I couldn't think of thought. So Sunday morning, world around, I was a Sunday morning speaker and I said to channel it, well, here's the thing I said to to, Donna, who was I said, Donna, I'm still in pain. I don't know if I could do this. And she said, oh, don't worry about it. No, that was on Saturday night. I'll find somebody else. I saw her Sunday morning. I said, so who's going to take my slot?

She goes, we couldn't find anybody. I said, you know what, I'll do it. And you know what I discovered? I had never sat down and done a lecture in my life because I prance around the stage and I have my whole dog and pony show, the whiteboard and the slides and the PowerPoint and that and, and I just had to sit on a stool and be honest and be authentic with no props to prop me up. And I remember afterwards Jack Canfield saying to me, that was a textbook example of the perfect presentation. Beautiful. And then and I and not.

I don't like namedrop all over, but I just want to say, I'll just have to tell you this. And then John Gray came up and said, I've been in TLC for ten years. I think that was my favorite presentation. Because I didn't depend on the dog and pony show, because I did did say thank you, God. Because I did say, what is great about this one that I'm not getting. And what was right about it was I found a whole new way to give a presentation that also works. And it's called being calm and being centered and not propping yourself up.

Being beautiful. All right. Is there anything that we have not talked about in detoxing? What's up here that you want to make sure that you say before we end well okay. Gosh, there's so many things. So many things. One last thing, one last thing that I just feel like there's some people who need to hear this, that we need to detox and that is, it might sound like way out in left field. We have to detox. False humility. You know, I really feel that everybody who's listening, if you're drawn to something like this with Kesha, it's because you want to move your life ahead.

You want high level information. You want to interact with people who are making a difference and who have something to say to contribute to the planet. And if you didn't have it, you, like attracts like. You wouldn't be drawn to this, but you need to stop pretending that you are less than great and powerful. The people whose lives you're supposed to change are not going to wait for you to stop acting like, oh, little old me. I'm the one that's supposed to change the world. You know, the world is not in great shape right now, and there's no time to be acting like that anymore.

That false humility is just your ego wanting to protect you in case what you do doesn't work out. So you go around masquerading as somebody who isn't great, you know, wearing that humility like a Halloween mask.

Gratitude, False Humility, and Living Your Purpose 43:28

You need to take it off, because under that humility mask is Wonder Woman or Superman. So you have to stop wasting your time with that craziness. I once heard somebody say, you're not great enough to be that humble, but I think you're talking about false humility. False. You know, nobody. Right? But but humility itself that's authentic is not what she's pointing to. Right. But see but it's stop. And what I'm saying is stop acting like you don't know who you are. Yes. Give yourself permission to be who you are put on or earth to be.

Don't make excuses. I'm too young. I'm too old. I had a horrible childhood. I don't have any money. I never went to college. My second cousin, twice removed says I'm a loser, right? Forget about it. Those are all excuses. And you are too great to be using excuses. And you know what? You can either have success or you can have excuses or you can have that possibility. Oh, little old me. Yeah, little old you. The world is waiting for you. So go ahead and take those steps from which there is no turning back.

Don't just be talking about what you're going to do. You know you can't steer a parked car. You got to pull that car out of the driveway if you have to. Course correct, that's okay. But you can't steer a parked car and you got to get out of the driveway. You got to get going. That idea that you have to change the world was given to you by the creator, because a creator needs you to manifest it. Okay? God has no hands but yours. So no, we each get different ideas and we get the ideas that the creator is asking you to manifest on earth at this time.

So don't pretend little old me, which powers my head when you're little meeting. That means that your light bar is dim and that actually drains all of us. So like, it's really important that we show up. That's what my last near-death experience showed, is how important every single one of us living into our life purpose in our own unique ways are so vital, it's essential. It's not even an opt optional thing. You have to do it. Yeah, it's a piece of the puzzle. Everybody is a piece of the puzzle, you know that.

The remember is to go around the internet, that somebody put a piece of, you know, a puzzle together. And it was the world. But if you turned it over, it was you. Yeah, or something like that. But it's true. You have to shine. Your light is so bright. Don't dim it. Right. And one white house can bring light to a thousand ships. Don't think. Oh, but so many people have written books on happiness. So many people speak on leadership. They're not you. Hey, there are people waiting to hear your angle on leadership.

Their contract in this lifetime is to learn about happiness or success or how to grow orchids, or be a chiropractor from you. And the world needs you, or you wouldn't have had that idea. It's very true. Thank you so much for your message, for the energy that you bring to this world and all of it. Really appreciate you. Likewise, I'm so glad that I was able to do this with you. And you are amazing and you rock. And I'm glad you met my daughter, and I'm glad we're family now. And I'm glad that you brought me into your extended cause family.

Me too. Everyone's going to really get so much room. What you're bringing here all right, everybody will have different continents. Information below this link. And I just really want to encourage you to look into yes to success and everything that she's up to. And until next time, be well.
