EPISODE 324: “The Most Important Question You Will Ever Ask Yourself”
June 12, 2024
In this episode, we delve into the significant distinction between living a path with heart and merely existing or marking time until death. Many of us find ourselves caught in the routines of daily life, trapped in obligations, bound by debt, societal expectations, and the conditioning we've received since childhood. We explore the essential question: Why are you here at this time on the planet?
Throughout our conversation, we dive deeper into the importance of aligning our lives with our soul's intentions rather than pursuing superficial external achievements. By focusing on our true purpose and spiritual growth rather than fleeting materialistic gains like status, money, or power, we can profoundly transform our experiences and fulfill our life's mission.
We also reflect on the enlightening conversations with my brother-in-law, Don Xavier, a true shaman. His deep spiritual insights and genuine connection to the spiritual realms have not only enriched my understanding but also opened new pathways to spiritual awakening. Don Xavier's teachings underscore the significance of spiritual authenticity and the impact it has on our personal evolution.
The episode challenges you to assess whether you are merely passing time until death or actively engaging in a life filled with passion and purpose. It's a prompt to recognize that living a fulfilling life isn't about accumulating wealth or status but about nurturing a soul-driven existence that transcends the physical and enriches our spiritual journey.
Listen, apply, enjoy!

You're listening to the Transform your Life from the Inside Out podcast. This episode is titled The Most Important Question You Will Ever Ask Yourself. I have a question for you. Are you living a path with heart or are you existing or are you marking time until your body dies? And by the way, that's not the most important question, but I'm framing this episode for you. Many of us live lives of obligation and we live in slavery to debt, money, chasing money, family expectations and societal expectations and what we've been conditioned with as kids. And what I want to look at in this episode is the important question of, and we'll dig into it because it's not the question yet. But the important question of is. Why are you here at this time on the planet? So, to dig into that, keep listening.
Hi, I'm Jim Fortin, and you're about to start Transforming your Life from the Inside Out with this podcast. I'm widely considered the leader in Subconscious Transformation, and I've coached super achievers all around the world for over 25 years. Here you're going to find no rah-rah motivation and no hype because this podcast is a combination of Brain Science, Transformational Psychology, and Ancient Wisdom all rolled into one to take your life to levels you've never thought possible. If you're wanting a lot more in life to feel better, to heal, to have peace of mind, to feel powerful and alive, and to bring more abundance and prosperity into your life, then this podcast is for you because you're going to start learning how to master your mind and evolve your consciousness and when you do that, anything you want then becomes possible for you. I'm glad you're here.
Okay as I'm looking at this episode and thinking about it, when I say looking at it, you know, I was thinking today and looking at some things and thinking about what I wanted to do for this episode. And what I do intend to do is go more spiritual. I did an extremely spiritual episode recently about planetary changes and I got a lot of email about that. And I want to keep doing those. And I want to share a lot of conversations that I've had with my brother-in-law Don Xavier, over the years. Anytime he and I talk anything spiritual outside of family things I recorded. You know, I don't know if this is your first episode, if you are, if you listened for a while, but he is a shaman or a sorcerer, a Babalawo and Nagual. And he's not somebody who just calls himself a shaman.
He is a real shaman, like you would find in the Amazon. And when he and I chat about spiritual things. They're generally pretty profound conversations and I want to start sharing some of those conversations with you guys. This particular episode can be an extremely profound episode and simultaneously also very easy to dismiss. So, let me ask you a question. If I gave you $1 million in cash. Would you invest it well and try to make it grow and serve you, or would you gamble it away as an example and squander it? So, ponder that. Another question there's a lot of questions in this episode. Are you living a path with heart? Or something I said in the opening or are you existing or are you marking time until you die. Until your body dies because we don't die. Our bodies do, but we don't die. So, it's so easy when you think about that, it's so easy to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Blah, blah blah. Okay. Dismiss or a perfunctory response.
Rarely do we look deeply at that question? Am I here to simply make a living? Am I here to exist? Am I here to simply mark time until this body of mine gives out and this body dies? So, as I said, many times we look at that as a more distant dancer. We look at it as more of a philosophical answer. Our question I'm sorry, but when we look into it, this can be a lifetime guiding path to have the most powerful experience we can have while we're on the planet.
So many people, let me go back here to probably 15 years ago. I was with a woman that I had on the podcast maybe two years ago. Dr. Laurie Emery, and she said something to me that hit me hard. And I've mentioned it before on the podcast, but I want to share it again. And she said, Jim, what you're basically doing with your life despite the fact that I had worked with a shaman for decades. And I compartmentalize my life. My spiritual life, so to speak was in one compartment and my professional life, so to speak was another compartment. And I recognized that I was building my professional life and living my spiritual life. But Laurie asked me a question about integrating both of them. And she said, Jim, basically it sounds like you're marking time until you die. Think about that.
So simple to dismiss that statement. But look at your own life and instead of answering it, look at your life. Look at the circumstances, look at your thought processes. Look how you think. Look what you think. Are you living to have the most amazing experience while you're here? Or are you simply marking time? Creating things for the human ego and the human ego satiation or to satiate the human ego. And simply marking time until you leave the planet. I want to take you back to 1996. Now, if you've listened for any amount of time, you know that my brother-in-law Don Xavier is a shaman. And I remember one time in 1996, I was sitting with him. And being a shaman. He's also a medium and he's able to, I'm just going to just say it. It just makes it so much easier for me. Whether you believe it, you don't believe it. It's fine out of their way to follow along. He's able to leave his body and by the way we all do that. You do it when you sleep at night. He's able, and by the way, you do it with your consciousness all day long, but he's able to consciously at will leave his body and other beings kind of habit to his body that come through him and impart universal wisdom. And, and, and esoteric wisdom, an ancient wisdom. And things that I've been given for many, many years. And one night when I first had met him. It was my first experience with that with him, with Don Xavier. And he left his body and his mentor. Don Juan Mature came and came through him.
And I remember sitting there thinking I wasn't scared, but I was kind of. I don't know, perplexed maybe a bit like, okay, what's happening here? What is this about? But as I think back, it felt perfectly normal and natural to me. And I can't explain why. But Don Juan came and it was just myself and my mom and Don Xavier and my sister, Mandy. And Don Juan said to me, you have so much confusion. I'm here at your service. How may I serve you? And I'm kind of like, uh, okay. And my mom stepped in. He goes, ask him a question. And I basically asked him a ridiculous question. I didn't know any better at that time. Something about like, what's my life mission. What's my life path or something like that. And he said to me, quote it does not matter. When you leave this life. You will not be judged for what you have acquired but you will be judged for the passion and heart with which you lived. He went on to say, all past and your life lead to the same place and that is death. And all that matters is you live a path with heart.
Some of you more analytical types might be thinking, okay, well, Jim, you used the word judged. I mean, we don't get judged when we leave. And perhaps a better choice of words might have been for our time on the planet and our experience here. But the question is. And it's not the main question yet, but, but a question is, is do you live your life for externals for 3d things, for things that appeal to your 3d ego. Money. Power. Prestige. Maybe to prove yourself. Family approval. Status. Recognition. These are all things that are factors of the ego and the personality self. And they're all available to you. But are they from the soul? Is this what your soul would choose for you? So, in this episode as best you can think from your soul. Now your soul is continuity and you might've heard me since continuous. And you might've heard me say before that many people will say things like past lives.
And I remember Don Xavier sharing this with me about a decade ago. He goes, we don't have past lives. Our soul is continuous. It exists forever. Now, those might not be the exact words. I'm paraphrasing here, but he said you don't die. Your soul energy doesn't die. And actually, he did tell me years later, like last year the soul can die. But it's nothing that I want to go into in this episode. And certainly nothing that anyone listening has to be concerned about. But he did tell me it's about working and he explained it very thoroughly, but I won't go into it here. That when he works with beings that are extraordinarily advanced beyond human capability. And the capability of the beings on this planet. He said, if I'm not in an extreme impeccability and able to manage the soul energy in that, that's my words. He goes, my soul could be annihilated by the sheer intensity of those energies and I would cease to exist at all times. Period. But we're not going to go there in this episode.
But he was saying to me, is that the soul is continuous. So, there is no past in continuity. There are simply different lives. So, what I want to look at as soul energy and I want to talk about. Looking at. Why? Why your soul chose to incarnate on planet earth at this time? The planet's changing very, very quickly. Human consciousness is changing. Human evolution is changing. And many people are looking for. They're looking for their purpose. And they will say things like I'm looking for my purpose. I'm looking for my purpose. I'm looking for my purpose. And even the last, perhaps generation. The 20 somethings and the 30 somethings. They're waking up and they're coming to the planet more energetically complete than prior generations came. And my generation when I was in college in the 80's, my generation was focused on one thing for the most part generationally. We were focused on success and homes and cars and wall street. And you look at the movies in the 80's. One of the biggest movies in the mid 80's was Wall Street with Michael Douglas.
But if you notice the last several years. The kids when I say the kids at the 20 somethings, to 30 somethings. They're not driven by money. They're driven by making a difference in the world. So many people will say, what is my purpose? Your purpose is not your occupation. Your purpose very simply is to be and exist. Now in that purpose, you have freewill and you have choice. Because in the human experience for the most part. You can be for the most part, not entirely, but for the most part, you can be anything that you want to be. So, I want to concretize this a bit for you. And I want to talk about a few people that we all know. That in my opinion they lived from there and they do live from their soul.
One. If you've listened for any amount of time, you might've heard the episodes of Gary Zukav. And Oprah Winfrey was saying that when she wanted Gary on the Oprah Winfrey show back in the 90's. Her producers told her no, don't do it. And Oprah knew and Gary and I talked about this privately. Is Oprah knowing that at a soul level she needed to be opening up people to spirituality. So, she read his book many years ago, the Seat of the Soul. And she knew she had had to have him as a guest on the Oprah Winfrey show. He's the most visited guest to the Oprah Winfrey show. And that he's been on the Oprah 36 times. And then she had a lot of other guests like Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Neale Donald Walsch Conversations with God. Which, by the way, I talked to Neale a couple of weeks ago and Neale will be on the podcast probably sometime next month. So, I'm looking forward to having Neale and bringing him to you guys.
So, Oprah she said she never would have created the impact she had created had she not gone to soulful direction and Gary and I were talking about it, and he's like, she was very much committed to this direction. Why? Because it was soul led. So, think about that soul led. Another word or words, soul inspired. Many of us live ego inspired. Anytime we're working towards things and things give us a value. That value was false value because it's not real because we are simply temporary beings on the planet. I think back to a good friend of mine. We've been friends for 25 years. His name is Akio Matsumura. A K I O M A T S U M U R A. Matsumura. And I've known Akio since 2001. He stayed in my home many, many times, and we've done some things together. Akio has one mission and one mission only to leave the world a better place for the next generation than it was before he arrived on the planet. Now Akio's in his seventies. And Akio is the only private citizen in the world to bring together 1000 world leaders six times. Akio used to host the global forum. Now you might you probably don't know what the global forum is, but many of you, or some of you might know. About the earth summit in Rio in the 1990's. That was Akio and he brought together a thousand world leaders.
He brought together kings, presidents, prime ministers, united states senators, royalty, the Dalai Lama, mother Theresa, Carl Sagan. I mean, some of the most influential people on the planet. And you don't know the thing I love about Akio he is the humblest guy in the world. I can't. I wish I could. I wish you could see in his experience, his humblest yet he's personal friends with Mikhail Gorbachev. And he was personal friends and advisor to a Mother Teresa. He's been in there for like guests multiple times and the Dalai Lama's home. And he has these kinds of connections. I was joking with him one day. When the Dalai Lama gave him, gave him a white scarf. And I, I they're called something. I don't know the name. But I said, Akio, do you still have it? And he's like, now I lost that a long time ago. He just doesn't attach to things. And he is a person like Oprah, but in his own way, on his own path truly soulful. And it's cost him a great deal, a personal sacrifice, but he refuses to stop his soulful journey.
I mean, there are times I'm with him. I'm like, okay. Akio can we talk about something other than healing the planet and making a better for the next generation. How about, we talk about a movie. How about we talk about. You know, something else besides the advancement of humanity and a better world for the next generation. You know, and even that whole premise is native American and that a native American philosophy, the elders taught. That you live your life now for the next seven generations. I think back to myself in the early 2010's. I was with a good friend of mine. Some of you guys might know him. He was the biggest name in internet marketing in the 2000. We've been friends since 1999. His name is Rich Schefren. He literally is one of the biggest marketing gurus in the world. I've known Rich for a lot of years. I've been friends with Rich for a lot of years.
And he and I were hanging out at his home in Boca Raton. And he was just very pensively asked and said to me. Because I taught persuasion and influence for many years and I really enjoyed doing it. And candidly, I was pretty damn good at it. And I liked it and I made a lot of money doing it. And he said to me, you know, Jim, you work with a shaman, your brother-in-law's a shaman. Have you considered that you're on the wrong path and my nanosecond response was, Nope, I'm not on the wrong path? And I thought about it and Don Xavier said to me in 2001 or 2002 or so at one night after a channeling, he looked at me and he said, how come people like Wayne Dyer constantly talk about my work because Don Xavier, his life story was ghost written and it sold millions of copies. And Wayne Dyer actually even asked me one time, if I would take him and introduce him to Don Xavier. I asked Don Xavier, if he wanted to meet Wayne Dyer, he said, I don't know. Let me check.
And it came back to me about a week later and goes, no, I can't meet him. I'm not going to meet him. I mean, how many people would have refused to meet Wayne Dyer? And in Wayne asked me, Wayne said to me, quote, I will go anywhere, anytime, anyplace to meet Don Xavier. And he said to me, Don Xavier said how come Wayne Dyer is out there talking about the work that I do. You're my brother-in-law you sit at my side, you know me, he doesn't know me. How come he's talking about the work and you're not. It still took it about a good 10 years for it to settle in when Rich Schefren asked me that question.
And what I want to share with you. Is that once I started doing the Transformational Coaching Program, which is the program that helps people evolve, both their ego and their spiritual side and combine them. It exploded in one year. To the top 1% of business growth for online companies in the United States. Personal development companies. I mean, it exploded like somebody just, you know put underneath dynamite. It exploded in a good way and so much so that last year in 2023, that was a challenging year for me. And in the 2024. I've not had a year of that challenging and many years, decades. And I'll explain where I'm going here. And it was so challenging and candidly I've made tens of millions of dollars over the years. And I basically said, fuck everything. I want to just; I want to rest. I'm tired. I'm burned out. It's a lot of work. And you, you know, you listen to these podcasts that you might not think there are any work. These podcasts are a lot of work. Why? Because I have to think about each and every episode and I have to organize it. Many people that have a podcast, they have guests, all they simply do is interview somebody. Each and every podcast episode that I do might take me I don't know when they were for 3, 5, 8, 10 hours to do each and every episode because I do each and every one. And I think pensively about what I want to bring to you. And I was burned out.
And Don Xavier said no. You can't quit. And I said, yes, I can. And he said, no, you can't. He said we have Dharma together because what I know it may, it might not, you know, appeal to you or apply to you. But a lot of people that listen to the podcast will reach out and say, how do I reach Don Xavier? He's a healer. He really only asked for money the very first time he chats with you. And it's not a lot of money. After that he never charges anyone, anything ever again, and he will help you for a lifetime. So, it's not about the money. It's not about as somebody erroneously and foolishly said it's a multi-level marketing ploy and that I'm actually marketing what I do to, to send people to him. Nonsense and candidly bullshit. I'm basically living my Dharma by doing what I do. The Transformational Coaching Program, which by the way, we're going to be changing name, I believe to evolve. Because if you want to have the best possible experience on your life, uh, you know, the best possible experience you can have on this planet. You must, it's not an option you must evolve. And if I quit doing these episodes. I'm not living my Dharma. And we'll get to that big question in a little bit. But I wouldn't be living my Dharma if I quit.
So, I know that I'm on the planet here at this time in human history for a reason. You are on the planet at this time in human history for a reason. And we have to ask herself, I'm asking you to ask yourself, am I living my Dharma or living from externals? Things that don't matter. Things that are hollow. Things that are superficial. Things that make me feel proud ego wise. Things that make other people look at me and pat me on the back and reward me. Am I living to prove things to people? Am I living, you know, I look, I won't mention any names? But there's this guy that he's, he's, he's really big online. And he's got a book and all that, and he talks about living a life of greatness. But candidly, he's doing his job. I mean, he's doing what he needs to be doing. But he doesn't understand what it means to live a life of greatness because he ties a lot of his message to 3d ego. Now I want you to have everything that you could possibly want, desire, whatever. I want you to have all of that. But all of that is easier to have when you're living soulfully and you're living, you've all heard this word when you're living aligned. Because see when you're living aligned with your soul path. Things will come to you very easily as they have to me. I mean, almost freakishly easy. Things come to you. And you're like, what the F oh my God. How did. It's the universe organizing around the path that you're living?
Hey there, I want to segue from the episode for just one moment. And I have a question for you. You're listening for a reason, and I would assume you're listening to the podcast because you want to transform your life and create more, a better experience of life, you want a whole lot more question for you is this. Do you want to transform your life slowly? Or do you want to transform your life quickly? And then ways you haven't even imagined because you can't see those ways because of your blind spots. If you want to transform your life slowly. Then keep listening to the podcast because I get emails every day about how much of this podcast helps people. If you want to transform your life dramatically, and in the next couple of months, and transform your life in ways you hadn't even thought possible. Watch the video here from Susan, a student of mine. She'll tell you all the reasons why you want to get enrolled in my Transformational Coaching program.
And then after the video and after the episode, if you're someone that would like to create dramatic results in your life in the next 90 days, go to jimfortin.com/TCP. jImfortin.com/TCP. There is another video there on the page. That will walk you through what we offer you in the Transformational Coaching Program. Okay, so watch your quick video, and if you're the kind of person that wants to dramatically change your life with my coaching in the next 90 days, again, go to jimfortin.com/TCP. Enjoy the video, and then I'll catch you back over on the episode. Bye bye.
Hi, Jim Fortin podcast fans, it's me, Susan, and I wanted to talk to you guys just for a few minutes about joining TCP because much like yourself, I listened to the podcast for a really long time, and I kept thinking, I don't think I need the paid programs. I mean, why would I when this stuff is free? It's so completely different. It is literally life changing and you may hear that in the ads, but I'm not getting paid to tell you this. I just want to help you guys save some time. TCP has changed my marriage. It has changed my mental health. It has changed my relationship with my mother and my kids. It has changed my relationship with myself and my confidence. My peace of mind. It's amazing. Now you may say, well, I don't know that I have time for TCP. You will make the time once you dive in and see what it is instead of watching Netflix for an hour or two, you know, during the week, I would just go upstairs and be quiet and I would do my homework. The live coaching calls are amazing. And you may say, well, but it's not always Jim coaching. His coaches that he's hired are incredible. They give such wonderful, some of the best advice and aha moments. I had. We're on the coaching calls with his team of coaches. They are incredible. You, when you listen and other people talk through their problems, you come, you relate and media like, Oh my gosh, okay. That's what I wanted to talk about. It happens quite often. So, if you're worried about the money, stop, stop. Don't worry about the money. If you're worried about the time commitment, it's, it's worth it. It's worth it to give up some of the silly things that you do like relaxing and watching TV. I mean, to change your life.
So, I highly, highly, highly encourage you guys to do it because it makes a world, a world of difference.
So. You know, many people are listening to this podcast. And I would have to assume I know my tribe and I'm grateful and I'm blessed that you're here. But I would have to guess at many people. Are listening to the podcast because they want a more meaningful experience of their time on the planet. But yet what they're also doing is they're also living by the shackles of their 3d ego personality/ big, big letters. FEAR. I'm afraid to live from my soul is where many people live from. Many people live from I'm afraid to live from my soul because how can I make a living? I'm afraid to live for my soul. How can I pay my bills? When you live from your soul. I promise. As long as you stay present, and then excuse me, the hiccups and then action. If you're looking, if you're new to the podcast, I don't, we don't edit these. I basically, if I have the hiccups, I have hiccups, I keep on going. So, we, I want these to be as authentic and real as possible. I just want to talk to you as if we're sitting in the living room and sitting across from each other. And I want to make an impact. It's important to make an impact in your life. So, I look at. When we're living in my experience, when we live from soul. Everything. Everything opens up for you. So, another question is not the big question yet. About marking time or living from your soul. Which do you do? Now you probably fall into one of two camps, either doing a job that you say you want to live from your soul and you want a better experience of life. But you're doing a job that you don't like. And you're doing a job that you hate. In that moment you are a cosmic being, having a human experience. That's being a human being. But you're not even living as a human being you're living at per se. You're living as a human doing. So be honest with yourself right now.
You may say yes, you may say no, I don't know. But the question, this isn't the big question yet. I'm almost there. The question to ask yourself is this. My life right now, is this the experience of life? That makes my heart sing. Is this the experience of life that makes my heart sing. Because if you're not living up an experience of life, that makes your heart sing. You were not living from soul. You are living from ego. Because see, as I've just alluded to, when you live from soul, nothing. Nothing. Third time, nothing can stop you. How the hell did Akio a private, private citizen. How did he literally bring together 1000 world leaders and the most influential people on the planet? He had no government behind him. He had none of that. No state. No nationality. Nothing. And he made it happen.
He was also the first person to introduce for being in Arafat in Jericho in 1995. He is some people even credit him with. And it's a bit of a stretch, but maybe. Some people even credit him with the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Because he got Gorbachev to allow the Dalai Lama. And mother Teresa into the Kremlin in 1992. The first time in 74 years that a spiritual leader has stepped foot inside the Kremlin. And Akio taught Mikhail Gorbachev into allowing it to happen and some people say that the hard right, didn't like it. And that was the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union. That's the power of your soul.
So, I told you, and I've alluded two or three times. So, the most important question. You will ever ask yourself. So, we can phrase this in any way you want, but here is the question. And Don Juan the mentor to Don Xavier. Don Juan was a Don Xavier; my brother-in-law is a sorcerer and Nagual. And by the way, if you look up the definition. Definition Nagual on Wikipedia. The definition is wrong. A hundred percent Nagual can be both or they're either or. They're either light and they work in the light, like my brother-in-law Don Xavier, or they work in the dark, which would be called in my terminology, a Diablero which is a black shaman, a black sorcerer of the darkness. And I'm not even going to go with what I was going to say but Don Juan said to me. He said the most important thing. I ever did. Was I decided what I needed to do before I crossed over? Those are his exact words. I decided what I needed to do before I crossed over. Now crossing over would be called transitioning, leaving the planet. And many of you might even refer to it as dying.
But the question is. Have you thought about sitting with that question? What's the most important thing that I can do before I cross over. And you want to look at some people, look at Alan Turing. The inventor of the computer. He did his role. He did his job. You look at Steve Jobs. He did his job. And many people who come and do great things. Tesla. They did their job. Now, the first place that many of you might go to is, well, Jim, those are big people. I mean, come on. I'm not Steve jobs. I'm not Tesla. I'm not Turing. It doesn't matter. They did their Dharma. That was their Dharma. That was their sole mission. Yours could be. Maybe like Martha Graham. To teach dance. And to bring our, maybe, you know, artists to bring art and beauty on the planet. Mozart did his Dharma. And you look at people and you could say, well, I'm not a great person like that. But maybe your Dharma is to raise someone who does great things on the planet and it doesn't mean great things. It means simply living your mission. Why are you here? And for all of us, it's different reasons that we are here on our soulful soulful journey.
So, the question again, is this. Don Juan said the most important thing I ever did was I decided what I needed to do before I crossed over. He asked himself that question. I'm asking you that question. What is the most important thing that you must do before you cross over? And I'm not advocating you crossover tomorrow, next week, next month or 10 years from now. I'm simply saying, start thinking along those lines. And truth be told for me. It was the thousands of lives that I've changed and helped change. I didn't do anything. I simply was a leader for people that enrolled in coaching with me in the transformational coaching program. Now I need to evolve and it's time for me to do new things. And it's a combination of TCP, the transformational coaching program. But also coupling that with what I used to have as my more advanced spiritual programs and bringing them together to help people evolve in a more spiritual mindful way. So, I'm living my Dharma and I couldn't even imagine walking away from that.
So, a question for you to ask yourself. If you've listened to any of the Gary Zukav's interviews, that's no disrespect to Gary. I love Gary. He's a good friend. But that's all news to me. Because Don Juan and Don Xavier had been talking to me for 20 years about changes coming to the planet. So, what I look at, how may I serve the world? As it's in transition right now and as humanity is transitioning from a personality based, 3d based system to a soulful system, so to speak. And I didn't say that properly. But I'm looking at how can I assist the transitions that are happening on the planet. Now my job is to help people. But see, what is your job? Is it music? Is it art? Is it business? Is it technology? What is your job? What did your soul bring you here for? If you're on a soul path. Congratulations. But I want to ask you. What fears stop you? From living a more powerful a more daring soul path.
Because even though you're living a soul path, many people that live a soul path also get into the fear of the 3d ego about what the path is and what it's not. And. You know, I was talking to someone else that will be on the podcast. It's a very famous author. And they said to me, Jim, I've got a new book coming out there in New York times, bestselling author. And they said I've got a new book coming out. But I'm telling you. It's about the new world that's coming. And I'm a little afraid to put it out. What do you think that I should do? And I said, because this friend is also friends with, Brian Weiss who wrote Many Lives, Many Masters and I said, Brian Weiss had that same fear back in the 1990s.
He was afraid to put out many lives, many masters because he was a, MD. He was psychiatrist and he was afraid that he'd be laughed out of his industry. That book is still a classic 25 years later and it came from the soul. So, are you working, even though you may be soulful, are you working from fear ego ponder that because I'm going to tell you all this shit that you get into fear-based? When you shed the body. This container you're in. All those fears are going to stay here and your soul is going to continue which journey. So, your fears are not soulful. They are 3D ego. And what you need is the courage to live from your soul. And every bit of fear you have is your soul inviting you to transcend that fear, to expand yourself out of soulful level. So, ask yourself. What am I to do? Before I cross over.
Couple of more questions here. If you were sitting metaphorically in the living room on the couch. And it was your ego you, listening to me now, the physical bag of skin, the container and your soul was sitting on the other side of the couch. And you were talking to your soul. What would your soul say to you? How would your soul instruct you? What would your soul advise you to do with your experience on the planet? What would your soul say to you about your fears? So, your transformational takeaway as getting the habit of asking yourself. Am I living from a soul or squandering my life? Because of my service to my ego personality, which is temporary. And as I've just indicated. What and how would my soul instruct me? Does my soul care about my petty fears? Do I choose my petty fears of this transient physical, temporary body? Or do I choose my soul path and my Dharma.
And the final question. Takes a lot of courage. And I encourage you to spend some time with us. Go sit with it. Go walk in nature. Just sit with it. Go do a medicine wheel. Get quiet. What am I to do with my life with this life before I pass over? What is it that I'm here to do with this life? Before I Passover. Thanks for listening and I catch you over on another episode. Take care. Bye-bye.
