Transformational Takeaway

Our 3D reality is a limitation created by the analytical mind. True transformation begins when we let go of rigid thinking and merge with the infinite wisdom that exists beyond our logical understanding. The path to deeper awareness starts with humility, trust, and opening the heart to possibilities we cannot yet explain.

Full Episode Transcript

You’re listening to the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast. This episode is titled, Who is Don Xavier the Shaman? Now, I don’t know why I had never thought about this in the past, because I know in every episode or every couple of episodes when I talk about him, it becomes repetitive for me. And I’m sure for many of you listening for any amount of time, you’re like, why does he keep saying he’s Don Xavier the Shaman, his brother-in-law? And so I don’t know why a long time ago I didn’t realize that I should just 
 
do one episode and say, refer to the episode. So in this episode, I want to talk to you and share about who Don Xavier is, how I know him, and I want to share his background and how he became a shaman. So if you’d like to learn more about the person, the being, the shaman, I’ve been referencing for many, many hundreds of episodes now. 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, 
 
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, so who is Don Xavier, the shaman? And as I said in the intro, I don’t know why it never dawned on me until now. 
 
to create this episode. I mean, I should have done it in the first five episodes and I didn’t. Oh well, you live and learn. But anyway, going forward, if you listen for any amount of time, I’m gonna share things here I’ve not shared before. But if you’re listening in the future and you might wonder, I’m gonna keep referring people back to this episode by the number. So let me dig in here and share a little bit about my story. And I think part of the reason I haven’t shared this before is because 
 
In all the work that I do, I’m literally more concerned about what you get from the work. And I want to make it about you, not about me. So I tend to literally just not talk about myself. And I found that I started thinking that maybe I’m not doing you guys a service by not sharing more with you guys about how I came to know him, how I work with him, what it looks like to work with him, the journeys that I’ve been on with him, how he became a shaman and et cetera. 
 
So in this episode, I’ll move faster in some places, slower in others, but I’ll share that with you. So I want to go back here. I think I might’ve shared it before, maybe not, but I was adopted within the immediate family. And when I was 25, my mom said, you’re adopted and I want to introduce you to your mother because my adoptive mother and biological mother were childhood friends, an extended family, but also friends. And when my biological mother had me, she couldn’t keep me. 
 
She already had five kids, four kids, believe, five, I don’t know. Anyway, she couldn’t keep me. And so my adoptive parents didn’t believe they could conceive. And so they wanted to adopt me. Financially, they helped my biological mother out while she was pregnant. And then the night I was born, my biological mother turned me over to my adoptive mother. And she said, please never tell him about this. 
 
And my adoptive mother said, well, I’ll tell him when he’s 25, he has a right to know. And by the way, at 25, my mom told me about my biological mother. And at that point, I was really close to my adoptive mother and I had no desire to meet my biological mother. Literally, I had no desire. I didn’t see any reason to. Why? I already had a mom. I didn’t need a second mom in my 25-year-old thinking. 
 
I wasn’t even curious about it. I didn’t care about it. I wasn’t angry. Nothing. I just had no desire. So at 25, my mom said, I want to introduce you to your mom. She got back in touch with my mom and they, they talked quite a bit for the next five years. I didn’t do anything for five years. And five years later, when I was 30, I had to go to Dallas on business. lived in Atlanta. And so I’m like, what the hell? Why don’t I just call my mom and meet my mom? And I met her for dinner one night and at dinner, 
 
we hit it off and she said, you know, your brother-in-law is a shaman and his name is Don Xavier and he’s apprenticed with another shaman and a sorcerer named Don Juan Matus. Now I knew of Don Juan Matus because Wayne Dyer, who I was already following since the early 90s, often talked about Don Juan Matus. I do want to say also that when my mom told me that my brother-in-law, Don Xavier, who I had not met, 
 
had an apprentice with Don Juan Matus, candidly, there was a fair amount of skepticism. There was a fair amount of, I don’t know if I believe that or not. I don’t know what I think about that. And even as I say that, I think back to a story that I heard from Wayne Dyer a couple of years prior to that. And the whole moral of that story is be careful what you believe, because when the truth comes knocking, you’re not going to recognize it. So anyway, 
 
I didn’t really vehemently disbelieve it. I just didn’t know how much I did believe it, but I went along with it. And so I said, Mom, can you take me? I want to meet him on this. Is it possible to meet him on this trip? I’m leaving tomorrow. Can I meet him? So my mom called my sister, her daughter, and said, Hey, I’m here with your brother, who my sister had at least been alerted to. So I went over to their house that night. It was an apartment, the very tiny apartment. 
 
And he came down from the loft and he had just finished a journey and he gave me a necklace. And he said, here, this belongs to you. I’m supposed to give this to you. And it was a necklace that I’m under the impression was created by Don Juan or Dona Maria Sabina. It was a very, very, very old necklace that I still have to today. But let me go to Don Xavier for a minute. As a boy, he met 
 
Don Juan Matus, and he started working with Don Juan Matus as a small boy. And he knew a lady in Oaxaca, Mexico named Connie Mendez, who was a metaphysician. You can even buy her books now, and they’re, I guess, like 50 years old. But Connie Menendez knew Don Xavier, and Don Xavier, of course, was working with Don Juan. But Connie Menendez also knew a graduate student that was visiting Oaxaca who was looking for Don Juan. 
 
and his name was Carlos Castaneda. And right there, that might ring some bells for some of you guys, because some of you are like, well, yes, of course, and other teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda, which is sold like 20 million copies around the world. And quite literally, they’re iconic books. And there’s a lot of debate about them over the years. But have you ever wondered why Castaneda was never in public? Interesting. I’ll talk more about that. But anyway. 
 
Connie asked Don Xavier, well, he’s just a boy, Xavier at that time, can you introduce Carlos to Don Juan? And Xavier said, well, I don’t know, I’ll ask. And by the way, I’m conveying this story the best I remember it or best I understand it. Xavier said he asked Don Juan and Don Juan said, no, he’s not on my path. No, I’m not interested. And as I understand, then Don Juan did not meet with Carlos Castaneda. So Carlos Castaneda then asked Don Xavier, 
 
Can you help me with what you know about Don Juan? So anyways, turned out Don Xavier asked Don Juan, well, can I recount, know, can I answer questions? And Don Juan said, whatever you wish. He’s not on my path. I don’t care. Do whatever you want to do. And so Don Xavier helped Carlos Castaneda pen the first, I believe it was four books, Journey to Ixalan, The Teachings of Don Juan, et cetera. And Don Xavier worked of Don Juan until he was, I believe about 19 years old. 
 
And around that time, and I may have this little mixed up again, I’ve not been told the story in 20 years, but there was a point where Don Juan said, it’s time for you to go in the world. And Don Xavier’s words were to be a man, meaning to carve your own path, to live your own life. And Xavier is a very shrewd businessman. He enjoys business as a game. And he did extremely, extremely well in the business world. 
 
He did that for many years, until he was about 40. And when he turned 40, he was directed back to get on the path again as a shaman and as a healer. He had to give up everything. He and my sister had to give up everything. And as I said, he was a very shrewd and very smart businessman. He had accumulated a fair amount of success financially and he had to give it all up. And he had no money. and my sister had to call my mom and say, hey, can you send this bus fare? We have no money. 
 
can you send this bus fare to get to Dallas? And then he started building by word of mouth, building his, I don’t know the right word, but people would come to him for healing. And now it’s literally today, his list is like 800 people long. Now I want to step back here. I remember the first time I sat in presence with Don Juan was in 1996. And Don Juan came through Don Xavier, who’s a medium. And when 
 
Don Hovey here is a medium. He doesn’t know what’s happening. It’s not like, who’s that medium, Abraham, Esther Hicks, where she’s president and animated and all that. He’s completely just gone. He doesn’t even know what happened. And Don one came and he talked to me. This was the first time in 1996. And he said something to me that I want to share. He said to me, he goes, you think too much. 
 
And when you think too much, you make yourself heavy. And when you make yourself heavy, you cannot fly. And what he was telling me was, is stop being so logical. Stop thinking so much. Because, I mean, come on, for crying out loud, I’m a college graduate, I went to a good private school, of course I can think, and I got good grades, and I got rewarded for that. But let me tell you where my first epiphany happened, and then I want to start sharing some experiences. 
 
with Don Xavier. So I’d always remembered that Don Juan told me that I think too much and I’m too logical. And then I think back and it dawned on me one day that in the first book, The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda, at the end of the book is an appendix that is extremely logical. And in that moment, it dawned on me that if Castaneda were truly a student of Don Juan’s, 
 
he never would have been that logical. Because Don Xavier, even today, never, and I mean, he is a logical person, but he’s always and constantly and incessantly go beyond the mind, go beyond the mind, go beyond logic. And if constinated wherever the actual student, he never would have been the logical person to be able to write the book that logically. Therefore, ostensibly, he was not the student which gave validity 
 
to the assertion that Don Xavier was the actual student. And I saw many other instances after that, and I’ll share some things with you, not related to Don Juan per se, but my work with Don Xavier. And I think even you will find some, perhaps just some interest here, some curiosity, but maybe some illumination as to what’s possible for you and available for you. So as a shaman, Don Xavier works with the elements, earth, wind, fire, and water, and air. 
 
When he works with people, helping them heal their luminous body and devolve and grow, I’ve worked with him now since 1996. What he does is he uses what’s called candlework fire, and there’s herbs involved and water involved, earth, wind, fire, water, and air. And so when I started working with him, he gave me the instructions and he said, okay, here’s your list of instructions and you have to take a bath for nine days. And 
 
When I asked him about that, I don’t fully recall why he told me the nine days, but he does everything by three, six and nine. Tesla said if you want to understand the keys to the universe, it’s three, six and nine. So he does everything by three, six and nine. But if I remember correctly, was something along the lines of aligning your electromagnetics to a higher frequency with the Earth or something like that. But anyway, when you take these baths, you have to do them every single day for nine days. 
 
You cannot have after your bath any kind of sexual intimacy whatsoever. And in the bath water, you have to put elements in the water. And he told me things like, okay, you have to find dirt that literally was a mile within where you grew up. So where you grew up, get dirt, like at least a pound of it, get dirt from there. And then you have to have all these herbs. And he had like 10 different herbs. And then you have to have tree bark. And I remember him telling me about the tree bark. 
 
He said, get the tree bark, literally like less than a mile from where you live now. I remember him telling me this and just kind of thinking, and then he stopped and he goes and ask before you take the bark from the tree. And in that moment, I was like, what do you mean ask? I didn’t say this to Don Hovier, but so that was, that was my beginning with him. Now, when I started the nine days, I don’t remember who it was day number one, when I did the baths. 
 
or day number nine when I started this cycle of candles. Because after the nine days, then he has you burn configurations of candles, seven day candles, the Mexican type candles you see in the Mexican marts that are the tall ones that burn well, they used to for seven days. And you would do them in various colors and configurations. And you would have bowls of water around them and glasses of water and herbs and different things. And he would always give me instructions, which he still does today. 
 
for what my assignments will be. Every month I get them, a four week sequence, and then I do the month and then I get more candles. And he’s always working on something with you energetically. But I remember he said, and I don’t know if it was the night of my first bath or the first night after the nine days, but he said, if I hit you too hard, because he called me on the phone and he goes, if I hit you too hard, let me know tomorrow. At about three o’clock that morning, I woke up 
 
like, and I’ve never done cocaine before, but I woke up like I’ve seen in the movies, people doing cocaine and they want to just literally put a new roof on a house and they want to run a marathon and all these kinds of things, you know? So I woke up and I was like, my God, I want to run a marathon at three o’clock in the morning. But I remember a dream that I had. And in that dream, we were dressed in Roman garb, he and I, and he walked up like a Roman soldier to me. 
 
And I recognized it was Xavier. I knew it was him and he had this really long spear. And what he did is I kind of like, hey, how you doing? You know, all friendly. And he took the spear and stabbed me right in the heart and killed me. And I watched myself die in that dream. Now, let me change topics here a little bit. I had always read, I didn’t know if it’s true or not, that you do not and cannot die in your dreams. But anyway, 
 
I died in that dream. And then as the dream continued, he literally, I don’t remember the exact placement of him, but what he did, or somehow a curtain got pulled open and he was standing on the other side of the curtain. And he said to me very poignantly, see, I told you death is an illusion. Nothing dies. It is not real. And over the years I have had 
 
thousands of awarenesses and epiphanies and lessons like that. I remember one time I was traveling from Atlanta to New York City and I’m always doing my spiritual work when I’m with Don Xavier. I shouldn’t even say that. I’ve always done it for decades now. And I remember that I checked into a hotel in Richmond, Virginia. And by the way, the shamans don’t teach analytically. They teach in dream time. They teach beyond words. They teach in the ethers. 
 
They teach in the dimensions. And in this dream, there was this little bitty, little bitty rickety school table between us. Mother Teresa was sitting across from me. And I just recognized something after all these years. It was Donya Maria disguised as Mother Teresa. I never caught that until just now. So Donya Maria was sitting across from me at this little bitty table. And there were two, number two pencils sitting on the table. 
 
And what happened was, is I had my hands on the table and she had her hands on the table and the pencil started rising and spinning in the air. I didn’t say anything and she didn’t say anything. And then the pencils very gently kept spinning and then just literally landed on the table and stopped spinning. And what she said to me was, see, I told you everything is moved. 
 
with your mind. She got up and she left. I didn’t say anything. As I mentioned, he’s always bringing lessons in the dream time. And as a matter of fact, this day and age, when I need help on something, like right now today, literally today that I’m recording this, I need some help on something business related. And I texted him and I’m like, can you talk tonight? But 
 
If I need something simple and I’ve got a more complex question I want to share with him and ask him, and candidly it is about the podcast and it’s about Aini, but I want to get his feedback on what I should do with the podcast. But if it’s something simple, I will simply text him and say, Hey, here’s the situation. And he will say, okay, I will satellite the answer back to you. Meaning just be alert, be aware, be intuitive, and let me send that energetically back to you and you’ll get the answer. 
 
But many times it’s in dream time because I am, as we all are, we’re dreamers. But I’ve developed the gift over the years to know how to pull and how to decipher the dreams for the messages that I need. We were doing ceremony. And by the way, we have done ceremony inside Kyopsie Great Pyramid, Machu Picchu, Isla de Sol, Chaco Canyon, Haleakala. 
 
and many, power spots around the world. know at Teotihuacan were allowed, as I mentioned before, by the president of Mexico to do ceremony in Teotihuacan. My family was allowed two nights unsupervised in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid and ceremony was done there. But we were doing ceremony in a small town in Arizona and we lived in Dallas and we had to come to this location to do ceremony. And I remember in Dreamtime that night, 
 
It was a very dimly lit room. And I remember in this dimly lit room, he was standing across from me, maybe 10 feet from me. This was about 20 years ago. And as I was looking at him about 10 feet from me, by the way, in my physical body, I’m not a screamer. I don’t scream at people. I don’t yell at people. This is not part of my nature. But in this dream, I was screaming at him and I was screaming. 
 
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. And that in itself is so not like me, the 3D ego, Jim, the bag of skin, the container. And I was saying, I hate you. I hate you. And as I was saying that the smoke screen came up between us. And with that smoke screen, I saw him. I didn’t see him, but the smoke screen came between us. 
 
And then the smoke screen dissipated and he was gone. But I was looking in the mirror and I recognized in that moment he was being the mirror for me to see how I was feeling about myself and treating myself. And over the decades, I’ve had many, many thousands of scenarios and stories like that that have brought epiphanies to me and awareness. 
 
and all kinds of learning and knowing. And I bring a lot of that to you guys in the podcast, but I don’t tell you where it came from, but that’s where it comes from. But I want to share some other stories with you here, some very 3D things that I’ll share to just kind of give you a glimpse into my world with Don Xavier. It was Mexico, 1996. We were doing a sacred journey at Chitinitza. There was like 20 of us there. 
 
And there were several of us that got pretty messed up on really cheap tequila. And I know I’ve told this story in the podcast before, but I don’t think I told all the story. We were drinking cheap tequila, and the next day we were driving to Tulum. And it was one of those days in Mexico that’s really hot and really humid, and you’re by the water. I mean, I was having kind of like the dry heaves and the sweats, and I feel really bad. 
 
And we have a four seat passenger, a four like bench van, passenger van, and he’s in the very back seat. And I’m in the third row of seats. And I felt so bad. said, I’m going to just leave my body till I get there. But I didn’t say it verbally. I simply thought it. And the second I thought that all he did tap, tap, tap, tap me on the shoulder and goes, get back in your body. There’s time for that later. I remember. 
 
thinking, I didn’t say anything. How could he possibly know this? But he can read your mind. And I one time asked him, I’m like, can you read people’s minds? And he’s like, yeah, when I’m in close proximity to them, I can literally not only read what’s in their conscious mind, many times I can read what’s in their subconscious mind. And he’s demonstrated that to me because there’s things he said to me that I have thought there was no way, no probing. 
 
No cold reading, no way he could have known. And he can repeat it back to me verbatim. But my point was I’ve never seen him use that in any kind of abusive way against anyone at any point, at any time, anywhere. He just doesn’t do it. And he keeps it all private. When I lived in New York City, back to the candles again, one morning I woke up and my candles were literally, before I went to bed, one of my candles had broken. And I’m like, I need to put this out before I go to bed so it’s not a fire hazard. 
 
And I had it inside another glass container in case the seven day candle broke, it wouldn’t be a fire danger. So I had it inside a bigger glass container and it broke. And I said, you know, I probably need to blow it out tonight. I tried to blow it out and it went out and then it re-lit. And I’m like, the hell with it, I’m going to bed. Next morning I woke up and that candle was still burning, but not only was it still burning, it was like a factory smoke stack with dark smoke. 
 
coming funneling up out of my candle. And I’m like, holy mackerel, if my roommate sees this, he had his own bedroom across the apartment in New York. We were on different sides of the building. In our apartment, we had a three bedroom apartment. But I’m like, if my roommate sees this, he’s going to have a cowl. So I ran to the kitchen sink and got a glass of water and I poured it into my candle and it literally shot flames like a bazooka, like a flamethrower up my wall. 
 
And I had, it was my altar. I had pictures on the altar. It burned it all. I was literally in a panic. I did it again and the same thing happened again. And so I called his house that day at noon and my sister answered and she thought I was calling because they had dinner with somebody I was very close to. And I heard him say in the background that I know I’ve mentioned this in the podcast before. No, he wants to know what happened to his candles last night. Mind you, there’s no way. 
 
He could have known zero because I did not tell him. So he called me and he jokingly says, Cunha, which is brother-in-law, what happened? And that kind of just, you know, kind of like prompting voice. And I said, you know what happened? And he said, yeah. And he goes, I didn’t want to do it, but they made me do it. And he said, we’ve been trying to get your attention for a while. 
 
Now he goes, I got your attention in a way that you cannot explain, which with your logical 3D mind, you cannot rationalize this away. I need to talk to you about some things you need to do. And that’s when I went to Peru with him, you know, a couple of months later. So, you know, that was another example of him. I’ll give you another example. It just dawned on my mind. Also burning candles and configurations. When I moved to New York City, I got really distracted from my, from my spiritual work. 
 
I was like a kid in a candy store in New York, paying very little attention to my spiritual work. And I came home from work one day and these candles, the seven day candles, you let them burn 24 seven till they burn out. But again, the seven day candles I would have inside a bigger container in case the seven day candle broke it when the fire hazard. So I came home from work and all of my candles were put out. And I’m like, what the hell? Why are my candles out? 
 
I called my sister and she goes, well, let me ask him. And I would always, now I just text him directly, but in the past I’d always call her first. She said, he said, you are not being serious about your spiritual work and it’s going to be taken away from you until you become serious about it again. So in that moment I recognized I need to realign myself, I’m out of alignment. And about three months later he called and goes, okay, it’s time for you to start candle work again. 
 
Now that particular story, I had not even thought about it in years. I want to go back to 2012. I was having lunch with a friend of mine and I was driving home. was on the North Dallas tollway driving home. Two exits from my house, I started feeling some tingling in my left arm and in my left jaw. And I thought, I didn’t know what it was, but I thought, oh my God, I’m having a heart attack. And as I’m driving home, I literally also live a block from the fire station. I called him. 
 
And I got his voicemail and I just said, Hey, Don, I’m having a heart attack. I’m driving to the fire station because I just got off the tollway. You can’t pull off. I just pulled off the tollway. I’m driving like two blocks away to the fire station. My cell phone rings and he says, um, you’re not having a heart attack. I’m like, yes, yes, I am. Don, I’m having a heart attack. And he’s like, no, you’re not having a heart attack. He goes, I already looked, you’re fine. Go home. I’m like, I’m not going home and I’m having a heart attack. 
 
And he goes, go home. And I’m like, no, I want to go to the ER. And he goes, fine. If you want to go to the ER to give yourself peace of mind, they’re going to probe, they’re going to stick pins in you, they’re going to send you home at three in the morning. They’ll find nothing wrong with you. Or you can go home and rest and you’ll be fine. Well, I didn’t go to the ER. I went home and rested. The next day I went to my acupuncture, so he put some pins in my right shin. And I felt like somebody hit me with a sledgehammer in my right leg. 
 
 
And my acupuncture has said that’s how much energy you had trapped up in your right and your left shoulder. So it wasn’t a heart attack. It was the energy trapped in my meridians and my body. Don Xavier could see that. There were other times that I can’t share many significant times of things that I’ve seen, but I will share one more. I’m living here in Sedona. Sedona is known as the home of the ancient ones. And there’s a lot of nighttime activity in Sedona. 
 
When I say nighttime activity, I mean what people would call extraterrestrial, which by the way doesn’t exist. Meaning, do beings from other galaxies and universes exist? Absolutely. Are they extraterrestrial? I guess by definition, yes, but we’re all part of the same universe and the universe is, so we’re all the same. But I was walking out to take my trash out and I didn’t see it, but I saw it when Don Xavier pointed. 
 
it out, but when he was visiting before he moved here, out in front of my house was a big mountain. And in that mountain, he goes, do you see that up there? And there’s like this big cutout space in the mountain. And I said, yeah. And it looked like somebody carved it out. looked like a big doorway and a mountain. He goes, that’s a stargate. And by the way, I have been with him to the stargate in Peru. You can look it up online, not our trip to Peru, but the stargate, but he goes, that’s a stargate. 
 
So I walking my crash out to the curb one night, and as I’m walking back down my driveway, I see this fluorescent green light come down out of the sky, and it comes down as precisely as a laser. I mean, it wasn’t like a flare that was all jagged. I mean, it was like a luminescent green. It was crazy luminescent green and very thin. 
 
and coming down on the straight line and it disappeared into the mountain. Now I know Don Xavier and I know if you ask half-assed questions, you’re going to get a half-assed answer. And I said, hey, I just saw something outside, blah, blah, blah. He didn’t get back to me. And I said, hey, I know that you’re not going to get back to me unless I ask. I just saw something. It looked not from this planet. I’ll put it that way, OK? Put it simply. I said, could everyone see that? And he goes, no. 
 
He goes, you saw that in the fifth dimension. He goes, you had that ability until you turned about five where you could see into the fifth dimension. And then when you turned about five or so, you lost that. And now that gift is coming back to you. And basically what he said was without going into too much detail, those are beings that are coming to assist transitions that are happening on the planet. 
 
And he said, I’ve been working with them for quite some time. And he gave me some specific numbers I won’t share here, but because I’ve been working with them for a very specific amount of time and here’s what we’re doing. And then he kind of jokingly finished with, well, how about that? So over the years, I’ve had exposure to many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many things like this. And he’s opened up many doors to knowledge and physics and 
 
the history of humanity and the times humans have been on planet, even the role that AI is playing now, how humans have used AI and past epochs of human history to destroy humanity. He’s brought a lot of understanding about the concept of time, universes, multiple dimensions, multi-dimensions, alternative realities, non-ordinary realities, dream time, awarenesses in dream time, awarenesses out of dream time, and the list goes on. 
 
And this has been my life now for 28 years and I bring it to you guys, but I don’t share all this because I want to make it as practical as I can. And part of me is like, if I go too deep with people, I’m going to lose them. Plus I’m kind of limited in what I can share. But I remember one time, was probably two or three years ago, I said, Dawn, how did you become a shaman? And I texted him that. I might’ve even read that text here on the pod, but he said, Anima. 
 
Mundi. The point is when you can commune, when you can merge with all life on the planet. And notice what a lot of you’re doing right now. You’re thinking about merging with all life on the planet, but not even thinking the planet is something you want to merge with as well. Because Pachamama, Mother Earth, is alive. It is an organism. He’s like, when you learn to 
 
My word’s going to be commune. But when you learn to, I forgot what he had said, but basically merge with all that is, all that is becomes available to you. And for you listening, the way that we cut ourselves off is that we get into our ego, we get into our logic, which is where I started. And in that moment, we get into our logic and that literally separates us from observation of the world. 
 
Because when we get into our logic, we start analyzing the world as opposed to observing the world. And the merging is in the observation, not the analysis. So I know I would not be in my life where I am today without his guidance, his support, his awareness, his mentorship, his unconditional love, his kindness, his compassion, and basically him showing the way for the path that we’re on. 
 
So the awarenesses that I have developed that I bring to you guys, I attribute it to thank you to him because he’s helped me open and further develop my awarenesses to bring things to you guys. And I had a guy, as I said maybe six months ago, telling me, well, I shouldn’t talk about him and I should own it as my own. Absolutely incorrect. I’m not owning it as my own because nothing is my own. This is not my own. I’m being the medium for this. 
 
but he’s the catalyst, he’s the dynamo, he’s the powerhouse and the energy behind me that brings the awarenesses so I can bring things to you guys. So over the years, I’ve developed a lot of skills and one of my predominant skills is clair sentience, meaning I can feel, which is one of the reasons I’ve done so well in coaching, because when I’m coaching people, I can feel their heart, I can feel their fears, I can feel what’s going on with them. 
 
and I automatically know how to coach them based upon what I can feel. But every one of you listening right now, you have extrasensory gifts, but you have to get out of the way. You have to move the ego out of the way, open up and expand yourself. Merge with anemomundi. Merge and that’s where the knowing at a much deeper level comes. 
 
Okay, I want to go to the transformational takeaways, but on the secret podcast, I want to continue with one more story that I did not tell in the public episode about a trip to Peru that I went on with Don Xavier. And that’s when I recognized that beings can, beings of higher ability can infiltrate your thinking. Literally, they can pervade and infiltrate 
 
and even plant thoughts in your mind from being another being. And I’ll tell that story on this secret podcast. Okay, so your transformational takeaway is understand based upon some of the things that I shared is that we’re living in a very mega limited reality. When we try to function from our 3D analysis analytical mind that keeps us trapped in our 3D reality. And what we want is we want to merge with all that is a Nima Mundi. 
 
And the way to do that is to humble ourselves, to let go, less attachment, less ego, and more opening our heart and more loving. And, you know, I’ve been reluctant to share a lot of this and I wanted to share even more because one of the biggest lessons that I’m still assimilating from him is that we know nothing. He told me the day that Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad became Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad were the day that they realized they knew nothing. 
 
And I even started crafting a podcast, which I have partly written and bulleted out. But the conundrum is, is to say that I know nothing means that I know enough to say that I don’t know nothing, which means I know something, which then means it’s not true that I don’t know anything. I know nothing. So it’s kind of like a cone. You can’t get out of it. That’s why I’ve not created an episode on it. But I’ll simplify this. The more you stop thinking, you know everything and you’ve got everything figured out. 
 
And that reminds me of Neil Donald Walsh when he was on Good Morning America. He was telling me when I interviewed him about God is it’s not like you have it figured out. And even Don Juan told me that once. He goes, the life that you live is not like you have it figured out. So we analytically think we have it figured out. And candidly, not only did we not have it figured out, we’re lost and we don’t even know that we’re lost. 
 
So thank you for listening to this episode. So now, Sherrod Houdon of years, his relationship to me, how I know him, and a little bit of my experience with him. Hopefully you found some great value here for you and some things that you can use for your own transformation from the inside out. Thanks for listening. I’ll catch you over on another episode. Bye bye.
