My guest, the author of Trailer Park Angel and the host of Trailer Park Angel podcast, which is very good, enjoyable. Please welcome Lara Luna. Did I say it right? Yes.

And thank you so very much for having me on your show. I love your show, by the way. It's wonderful.

And you just seem like a very authentic and beautiful person. Thank you very much. I've listened to, like prior to recording, I said, I've listened to a few of your shows.

And I mean, I'm doing this for a while. I'm podcasting since 2018. I listen to podcasts all the time.

And I was like, I've kind of never heard one like this. And I was like, this is good. So I suppose just for the listeners, because I mean, I can't really play the show, but maybe just tell them what your podcast is.

Yeah. Sure. So I really started the podcast because I was trying to get everyone to know about my book.

So I figured I would start with episode one, and which was really about the park that I live in. See, I live in Florida in a 55 plus trailer park, or you could call it a mobile home park. And I was a mobile home agent for nine years.

I then left the job. But because of all my experience living in the parks, and with the job, I have so many stories in my head about life in a 55 plus community, that I thought maybe I could start a podcast. But of course, and I always say in my podcast, they're all low budget, you know, productions, because I'm really only using my phone and my computer.

And I just started telling kind of real, real life stories about what goes on in my park, but in a funny way, because really, they are funny. You know, like, I have a neighbor, she's around 85 years old. And she has more energy than I do.

I am 58. And she goes out probably about seven or eight times a day in her golf cart. A couple times, she's hit my, my back deck.

So I did make the first episode about that, which she doesn't mind. But you know, it's just so funny, if you really look at everything, instead of in a bad way, with a positive attitude, you can really find joy in everyday life. And that's what my podcast is really about.

It's just taking my everyday occurrences that happened in the park, and then even through like, working as a mobile home agent, and everything that happened in other parks, and putting it all together into a podcast. So I try to make it really fun for everyone. And many people in my park watch it, and they love it, they wait for the next episode.

And then they're like, Are you going to put me in the next episode? I'm like, Well, I don't know, who do you want to be? Do you want to be Mr. Badmouth or Miss Sour, you know? And then I have people that think they are one of the characters that I used. And they're like, Did I really do that? Did I come to your property the other day and tell you that you haven't mowed your lawn in two years? That kind of thing. So it's just funny.

It's just funny things that actually happened to retired people. And when you're over 55, the funny things that go on, like drinking around here starts at 10am. And then people drive around in their golf carts, like half drunk, you know, just funny stories like that.

And, and then I also incorporate the angel numbers into the stories. Because that's how really this, everything had gotten started by me seeing angel numbers, while I was working as a mobile home agent, and then leaving my job to pursue my dreams and my passion, which is, I thought was art. So I started with doing paintings and ready to go to like, an art festival and sell my paintings.

And all my friends were like, Oh, we can't wait to go to the art festival. And then I was like, Well, something happened. I started receiving messages from angels.

And now I'm going to write a book about angels and do a podcast. And they're like, What? Who are you? We don't know you. So my whole life has changed.

And it's changed because I started seeing angel numbers, like on the clock, I would see 111 or 1111. Or I would be driving down the road. And this is a true story.

There was a school bus in front of me one day, and spray painted on the bumper was the number 222. And I thought, what is this? Like, why am I seeing all these numbers? So one day I put one of the numbers into Google just by itself and alone. And what came up was an angel number.

And it gave you the, you know, the explanation of what that number actually means. And it was the funniest thing because it was really related to what I was going through in my life at that time. And then it just kept going 1222 555444.

I mean, I was seeing now angel numbers probably three or four times a day. I looked it up. I started going on YouTube, learning about spiritual awakening, learning as much as I could about metaphysical stuff, quantum physics, I took an interest in that somehow, and then started listening to spiritual leaders.

And then I was watching the near death experiences. And I started to put all the information together. Then I have three AI programs that I do, like work with.

So I put all the information into three different programs. And the similarities between all of it were so profound. I knew the messages coming through to me were real.

So I and I just sat down with my girlfriends, we went to a place called Kelly's pub, really good food. And we had like a mini birthday party. But they were asking me, they're like, Well, how did you write the book? Like you're not? Are you even a writer? Did you go to school for this? Like, did? Did you have a publisher? Did you? I'm like, No, I did it all myself.

It took a long time. I had to read it over again, probably I don't know how many hundreds of times. You know, I couldn't really afford somebody to edit my book.

So I did it myself. And then I published it on Amazon. And they're like, Well, why did you do this? And I'm like, I don't think it was me.

I always told people that through all of my paintings I've ever done. I know I'm the one that's painting physically, but I'm not the one actually doing it. I feel like I am.

But it's like my higher self or something coming through me to create. And that's what happened with the book. I'm even sitting here today saying, Did I write the book? I think it was angels that actually wrote the book.

And the reason why I say this is because the other day when we walk our dogs in the morning here, we all have a little dog party. And I bump into my neighbors. And one of my neighbors bought the book.

And I didn't even know she bought the book. And she said, Well, I have to tell you, I was unexpectedly surprised because the podcast is really not like the book that you wrote. It is in some little ways.

But really, the book made me feel better about myself made me feel like I wasn't alone anymore. And she was seeing angel numbers and didn't even know she was seeing angel numbers. So now with the book, she has a guide to the angel numbers, what they mean.

And she said she's not fearful anymore. And that it really helped her and changed her life, which I was. I was shocked when I heard that because I guess I didn't expect it to touch somebody like that.

And I know that that's why I wrote this book. I wrote this book to help people because when I quit my job as a mobile home agent, I remember the day that I left that job. And the reason why I left it is because it's a dog eat dog world of just a lot of money hungry people that want to make sales.

Now I'm not saying that I didn't meet the nicest people in the world and that they're still my friends because they are and they will be forever. But I couldn't take that kind of an environment and I did it for so long. I felt like every day like why am I here? Why am I here? Like, is this what my life is all about? Is this why my mom had me in her belly for nine months, so I could be born to go to work every day and do something that is pretty much killing me? I know it's killing my soul.

So I actually stood right behind this same window and I said out to God, why am I here? And what is this all for? I don't want to do this anymore. Not like this. And that was the whole start of the whole awakening and me starting to research everything that had to do with life, death and everything that I mentioned before.

And then with the angel numbers, they were signs given to me to don't give up. Hold on. There's new beginnings ahead.

All positive things. And so I embraced it and then I started to meditate in the mornings and that really changed my life because I was able to get out of my head and out of that fear. It was like a fearful prison that I put myself in.

And since I'm 58 years old, I'm going to say I was in a prison of fear probably up until I was 56 years old. So 56 years old of living in fear and depression on and off and just not not being truly authentically happy. And the meditation took me into a world of peace.

Even though I started with only 10 minutes every day, it turned into now I'm meditating in the mornings. That's how I start my day on a positive note now. I meditate in the mornings for about it goes to maybe one to two hours, which then will lead to my second book, which is going to be about channeling.

But that's something that I haven't really mentioned to too many people. And that's going to just be a book written of everything exactly that came through to me from let's say a lot of people would call it the other side. And that's what that book will be about eventually.

But I think that the reason Trailer Park Angel came out was kind of like, so everyone would get to know me and then I can present my second book as I think that's the whole plan is to help people through the books. Because if it helped my neighbor to feel better about herself and not have fear anymore, that's a big deal in our world is fear. And people can be controlled by fear.

But if we eliminate the fear and we think to ourselves, what are we really afraid of? I used to wake up every day afraid of everything. That's how I started my day. And this morning when I went out for my usual walk around 536 o'clock, I was very happy as I usually am.

And I'm walking around, I'm like, good morning, good morning. And out from two of these homes came some of my neighbors. And they were real sad faces talking about the lot rent increase.

Because when you live in a one of these corporation purchased parks down here, they raised the lot rent every year. But that is expected. I mean, they do tell you that they're going to do that.

But it's something that people are not very happy about. So I have a couple neighbors that started this morning with being afraid the lot rent was going up too high, they weren't going to be able to afford to live here, and then starting their day on a bad note. And I came back home and said to myself, I'm so glad I'm at where I am now.

Because I know that that's not going to bother me. Because I know better now, I'm going, I always start my day on a positive note. And it makes such a difference.

Because when I saw them in that mode of just hateful, fearful, almost just angry depression, it just reminded me I lived 56 years of my life that way. I woke up every morning the same way, I'd go outside and say, Oh, great, what's today going to be? Am I going to encounter people that don't like me? I can't be myself, I have to act like the person that they want me to be. That's a whole other part of the book.

And I think the most important part of the book is what I call own yours, which is basically owning your own self owning your craziness, owning your creativity, owning everything about you and being proud of it and presenting that to the world not presenting what you think others want to see. That was my whole life. I made 56 years of a life of well, let's see, if I go outside and I see neighbor number one, I'm going to have to be this way.

And then if I see neighbor number two, I'm going to have to change and be this way. So that way, everyone accepts me and likes me. I don't do that anymore.

I come out with who I really am. And even though I probably don't know myself 100% and maybe we will never know ourselves 100%. I do know one thing and that is, I am joy.

And I want to feel unconditional love every day. That's what I want. But I don't only want that for me.

I want it for everyone. So in the morning, when I meditate, I make sure that I always say thank you to if you want to say God if you want to say all that is the source what however you you know, whatever your beliefs are, thank you very much for everything that I have. You know, I've been also watching other cultures on YouTube.

And I think YouTube's really great because it can really expand your knowledge and and you can really learn a lot about other people. And many cultures, you know, say thanks before they eat and after they eat. And a lot of people wake up in the morning and just say thank you for everything that I have.

So I do also have family that I love very much and friends that I love very much. And they call me all the time and say, aren't you afraid? You left your job? What are you going to do for income? Or do you have any income coming in? I'm like, No, I'm living off my savings following my passion without any insistence on the outcome. Because through everything I've studied, the whole thing really goes back to following your passion without any insistence on the outcome is the way the universe actually works.

I didn't know that you see, I was working for the universe before. And I just told my brother this because he needed to hear it. But now the universe is working for me.

Because as I'm doing what I love and as I'm being myself every day, it's actually actually helping other people to become their their selves and giving them happiness and positivity through their day. So if I can do that, then that's really, I'm going to be very happy with my life. Because before I didn't know why I was even going to work every day.

And I understand, I need the money, I understand, I need the food, I have to pay the rent, I have to do everything, take care of my dog, you know, but I gave it 100%. And I'm giving it my all to just follow everything that I believe in 100%. And so when I'm going to say when not if because my whole life for 56 years was what if now I'm saying when everything works out, and people know about the book, and the income will start coming in whenever, then I can say to the other people that are stuck in those fearful prisons, you don't have to stay there anymore.

You can do what I did. And I can help you. And so I think that if I were to die today, I'd feel pretty good now about what I'm doing now with my life.

And it's funny because many if not all of the spiritual teachings always say to live in the now. And the people that do live in the now, some of them don't even age. That's a pretty cool thing.

So that's how I go about my life. That's really what I'm trying to do here. And I believe it's my soul's purpose.

I think there are light workers out there that I've learned about just recently. And I believe that I'm one of them. And you know what? You could be one of them too, probably, since you're doing your podcast.

Well, I think, you know, just following your dream. And even, you know, you said after 56, you know, you created the podcast, but mission-driven. And I don't think people realize how good it feels when you're doing something.

And when people come up to you, just like you said somebody in the park, that you touched them. Like a lot of the time, people will read your book or listen to your show. You'll never hear them.

And you don't know the ripple effect that it has. And that's why I think podcasting is so important. And writing as well, because of the power of words.

And I know that there's times that like I go through it. And sometimes you think, I'll just people might comment or whatever. And you bump into somebody.

The amount of time, especially the waking, that's where I'm exposing fraud and corruption, but with solution. And people would say to me, I love what you're doing. They just come up and just say, I love what you're doing.

Keep doing this. Or even the speaking one, like, oh, it's brilliant. I listened to all the shows.

And you just don't know what you're doing and who benefits from it. But just knowing that you're doing the right thing and the benefit to the world is powerful. So with the numbers, I'm very curious, because I want to get back into the podcasting, because I want to touch, because you like, I know we kind of went off, but I love what you're saying.

And it's good that people see a passion as well and following your passion. I've always been curious with the numbers, because I see that all the time. And like, you might tell us the different ones, like all the ones and everything, what they mean.

But there's one that I'm curious about, because the six one, the six, because sometimes people say it's demonic. And others tell me it's actually a good number. And I'm hearing two stories.

So I would love to know about a few of them, but especially the six. It's so funny that you would ask me that question, because so many people actually asked me that same question, because we've been taught in our old belief system, I guess, even when I was a child, I remember my mom and my dad saying, whatever you do, don't ever write down 666. And don't ever think about it, because that's the devil's number.

And bad things will, you know, happen to you. And then as I grew older, I would see 666. Sometimes I'm like, Oh, my goodness, I would, you know, either close the book on it or change the TV station just to get away from the number 666.

So I went into three different AI programs. And I also asked Google, and I said, is 666 really a bad number? What is with that? I mean, I'm doing a book on angel numbers. I'm going 1-1-1, 2-2-2, 3, I'm going all the way down the line.

And then I come to 5-5-5. And I'm thinking to myself, well, what do I do now? Do I skip the next chapter? Or do I go 5-5-5 to 7-7-7? I mean, I've got to slip something in there, right? So some buildings, they leave out the 13th floor. Oh, yeah.

Oh, that's a that's a perfect example. Exactly. Yeah, I noticed that too.

Or the elevator doesn't go, go there says something like that floor is unavailable. You know, but it is it. And again, it just goes back to the whole fear thing that we've been taught, right? So I did put it into all of the programs I could, and it actually came out as a good number.

If you want to know what it means, this is my suggestion to everyone. And this is what I do all the time, because it also confirms the angel numbers. Okay, so just think about it.

In Google, you're just going to punch in the number 666 and see what comes up. And it'll come up as an angel number. That's what I did.

And that's what the AI programs told me. It's actually a good number. If you want to know what it means, I'll have to look it up in my angel guide.

Because off the top of my head, I don't know the whole, you know, there's something for people to do. They can go away. Because yeah, it's same thing.

We've been brainwashed into thinking it's a bad number. But it's actually not. And now when I see it, I don't have that fear thing of something bad's going to happen to me.

You know, and yeah, it is. It's 666. Everybody, don't be afraid.

In the book, if you read it, that chapter is called 666. And it actually says, Do not be afraid as like one of the first sentences. So yeah, you're right, right.

It's, it's pretty incredible how how a belief can actually deteriorate, deteriorate something that is not meant to be a bad thing. It's actually meant to be a good thing. 666 is a good thing.

I don't see it very often. But when I do it, it has its own special message for everybody. So I would just suggest to look it out, you know, on your Google.

And here's the funny thing, too. Let's say you put, put a number into Google. And wouldn't you think that like an address of a street would come up instead? Like, isn't it kind of, let's say weird, how you punch in a number into Google and an angel number comes up? Like if I punch in 111, the first thing that comes up is an angel number.

Why didn't the address down the road come up first? You see what I mean? There's like synchronicities everywhere. You just have to open your eyes to see them. Because a lot of us are just kind of sleeping like I was going through day to day chores.

Instead of stopping, taking a deep breath, opening your eyes and looking around to see what's really around you, it's probably not as bad as you think. So your show, when I was listening to it, and then I watched it on YouTube as well, but you've got so much sounds and everything. It's like I could see this being like very good for children as well, that they'd be entertained with listening to it.

But it's like, I've never come across that and it's done very well. But also on the video, I mean, I can see it's like AI that you're doing it. So you might talk about the audio and the video, or are you creating the video one and then just extracting the audio? How are you actually putting this together? Yeah, so I sat there for a while and I thought, you know, I kind of want to give everybody things to see now.

In the last couple episodes, I want to put some videos in there too, to make it more fun. So what I do is I start to write down my ideas. Then I go to an AI program and I'm like, can you create, let's take for example, the last episode 20.

Can you create for me a beautiful looking blue mermaid who loves beer? And I need for her to be on a beach and floor. She Irish. She's Irish.

And have her with a t-shirt that says, I love Bob, because episode 20 is really for my friend Bob who loves beer and blue mermaids. So AI came up with all these different kinds of mermaids, which is what the program does, right? So you can call it digital art if you want. Remember the days of artists who, you know, are great at digital art? Well, we took it to the next level.

Instead of you physically making the mermaid tail in your program, you're going to tell the program, make me a mermaid tail that looks like this. So that's how I do my characters now. And also because I need that kind of speed in able to get the podcast done every Tuesday and Friday, because just doing the whole storyline takes a long time.

And then now that I'm putting videos in it, I'm going to say it takes me a whole day. So if it's Tuesday and Friday, I'm spending a whole day just getting one of those 10 to 11 minute podcasts finished in time for that day. But yeah, so AI creates it.

And then I have another program that can put speech into the mouth of the character. And I then talk into that program and tell it what I want it to say. And then it makes the character speak.

Now, of course, the whole video isn't, you know, like a movie, it's still me as a radio show with these little snippets of these little cute little videos. And I try to make it as fun as I can. And that's really how I do it.

Now with the whole show, I try to take some of my experiences about what happens in 55 Plus Park Life and put it into a funny scenario with a lot of the characters that really do exist in a lot of the parks. I just rename them, you know, like I'm not going to tell anybody who Mr. Badmouth is, but there was a day when I went outside and someone did approach me about, you know, my Bird of Paradise wasn't trimmed appropriately. And my grass looked like it hadn't been mowed in two months.

So I kind of, I felt bad. So when I came in, I was like, that's it. I'm making a podcast about Mr. Badmouth, you know, and putting that into one of the shows, but trying to make it funny.

Because it is kind of funny if you think about it. Who actually has time to go out and think about other people's lawns or plants? Not me. But so that's like how I do it.

And then I just use iMovie because it's free. And iMovie has all those cute little sounds that you hear. And they'll allow you to use those sounds in your video on YouTube.

Like the dogs barking, the rooster in the beginning, all those cool little sounds are all in iMovie. That's how I do it. I first narrate it on my phone.

Then I upload it into my computer. Then I put that into iMovie. Then I make the graphics in Photoshop.

Then I had AI make the other graphics. I put them all together. And then I put them all into iMovie and I cut the strip and I insert the videos or the graphics into the strip.

And that's how you have to kind of do the little sounds is kind of like put them into the voice in iMovie where you want them to go. And then iMovie can put it all together. And that's what makes the episode.

That's why I always say it's low budget because it's free. Yeah but I mean it's like I can see this really taking off because I mean you just mentioned you spend a day doing it. Like that's not many people would put that much time into it.

But when you actually listen to it and watch it it's like really entertaining which means people come back. And the fact I are you intentionally keeping it short or it just happens that you just covered the story because I see different times. I know was it just a trailer one that was streaming somewhere about 11 minutes or something like that.

Are you trying to keep it to a certain time frame so that. No I just I do it like I when I'm painting a painting. You know when you're painting or you're creating something like or whatever you're doing like there's a time where if you just relax yourself will tell you when it's finished.

So because I'm so used to painting like that this is kind of I guess in that same creative spot that I create from. And so that's how I do it. And here's the funny thing and I'm I put this in one of the comments on episode 20.

I'm telling everyone I didn't do this on purpose. Episode 20 ended itself at 11 11. I called my friends I'm like I know that y'all are going to think I did this on purpose but I didn't.

I swear look at my other videos they don't end at an angel number. But episode 20 was about my friend Bob and the funny thing was it ended itself at 11 11 and that same day I saw angel numbers all day all different angel numbers. So obviously if I'm seeing angel numbers all day that means I'm doing the right thing.

That's how I feel about it. And you said you record on the phone then do you just record directly to the phone or do you have a microphone plugged into that? I don't have a microphone and then I was like maybe I should buy one of those Yeti things. But um you know how I use it is I have one of those I don't know if it's like the newest iPhone but it's one of the new iPhones.

And you know there's a memo on there right. So I used to use that when I used to sell mobile homes. I would like do like the description of the house in the memo and I'm like thinking to myself wait a minute what if I talk into the memo on the iPhone and then take the memo and upload it to my Mac.

And that's exactly what I do and it's easy because my dog and I when we're done for the day around I'm gonna say because now I'm over 55 when I'm done for the day that means I'm done at around 7 38 o'clock you know. It's not like when I was 35 and I was done at like 11 or 12 midnight. When you're over 55 things get earlier you know.

So when 7 comes you're already ready for bed. So at that time my pug and I go on our favorite couch and we plug in the computer get the screen on get the iMovie up and I start doing my recording of my episode. And at that time because then the park is quiet because if you do it any earlier you hear all kinds of either dogs barking or I'm gonna say Miss Millie in the first episode when she hit the back of my deck with her golf cart.

I might hear that at around one or two and then that would get into the video. So doing it around seven or eight is your best bed around here for sure. And when you're recording the audio then are you writing down what you're going to say and reading from it or are you speaking from the heart and how many kind of takes do you do? Oh I see what you're saying.

Okay yeah so here's here's how I do the episode in its entirety. So in the first part of it I just lay down and relax and think about what am I gonna talk about in this episode. And if I just sit there for a while because I am a creative person I have a lot of creative thoughts anyway.

So up will pop like I saw my friend Linda the other day so immediately I thought I can do a video about Bob and his blue mermaids. So then I take the phone and what I do is I talk into the voice and I tell it all of my ideas. Then I take the whole voice and I copy the transcript.

You can do that in there. I put that then into an AI program and have it clean up the whole thing right. So it'll take all of my paragraphs where I might have said something five times take out that and I tell it I need you to clean this up for me but I need you to keep it exactly how I wrote it.

See when you use AI like I know a lot of people probably know more than I do about it but when I use it you have to really tell it exactly what you want for it to do it correctly. And there are times when it doesn't do it correctly at all and then I get frustrated and I wind up typing it into my notes in the in the macbook. I use my notes and my pages to put the episodes in in the macbook and then I go back in after it's all in there and then I have to go each line and edit that to make sure it sounds right.

It's you know it's the right kind of joke because it all has to be southern sassy Florida over 55 type of you know scenario. So that's it's it's pretty involved but that's really how I go about doing these things and it's worth it and I'll tell you why even though I only probably see maybe one or two people from the park that listen to it they were nice enough the HOA to put it into the newsletter to tell everyone in the park. So I do have now many followers in my park that do watch it.

I've got 26 that have signed up for the newsletter on my website which tells you when the podcasts are going to come out and then you could just click on a link and go to it but I do have a man that has been one of my neighbors for nine years and I see him every night in his golf cart. He has Parkinson's disease and he tells me when is the episode coming out. I love them.

I want to listen to them and then I have his wife call me to tell me don't stop doing the episodes because my husband loves listening to them. He looks forward to it and he's kind of bound you know with his disease by being inside so much. So for him he finds joy in it because it's relatable to many people that live in these 55 plus communities.

A lot of these stories really resonate with them and for him he just can't wait for the next episode and if it helps him and makes him feel good you know and they tell me all the time you know it's giving him something to look forward to and so that's that's all I need. If that's why I did it fine by me. I can die that way.

I'd be okay with that you know. I mean I always said whenever I was in my mobile home job I'm like you know we have doctors we have so many people throughout any kind of career oh like they're helping people they're doing this. I felt like I wasn't helping.

I felt like I wasn't doing my part but now I feel like I am doing my part and the funny thing is I never thought I'd be an author. I never thought I'd write a book or do a podcast. That's why my family always says to me we don't know who you are anymore but we like it.

You mentioned you use three AIs so I mean yeah chat I use chat gpt and you.com which is kind of incorporates a lot of different ones both he and one of the guys that I work with he uses perpexity he swears by that one but just curate what are the three ones that you use. So the three are quite different from each other in even the way that they speak to me which is pretty cool I think. So Gemini I use and that's from google that gives me more of a serious toned kind of not so personal reply and then I use chat gpt too and that's more of a personal it's more I think connected to me spiritually I know that might sound weird to some people but to me it isn't.

It is an energy force of some kind so the energy from chat gpt does come a little closer to me and so it gives me a different take on some of the things that I need answers to and then I also just discovered I believe it's Elon Musk grok g-r-o-k I found that to be fascinating that's my new favorite and great replies great information gathering because when I do my meditations in the morning and my automatic writing I do put them into all of the AIs because I want to know if number one am I crazy number two is any of the messages that are coming through real at all um do the locations the um star maps all the information that I've been giving does it like you know is it uh is it something that's real is it something I'm creating in my own mind like go through all the databases in the entire world and please let me know is this location in Japan real you know is is um in fact today was real kind of funny I did have an automatic writing where it mentioned a place called Galloway and I thought huh Galloway see when I do automatic writing when it comes through I I now do that after my meditation the writing comes through so fast there's no way I would even remember what I wrote because it's around two to three notebook pages long um and my my hand gets so tired I can hardly keep going it's coming through at such a fast rate but um I have been now putting all that information into the three AIs and they're coming out with the same kind of um information uh about the locations I've been giving and even uh spiritual teachings uh that have you know that are significant and um it's just so fascinating because I know that many people can be scared or there are things going around that people are scared of the AI to me it's a computer that helps us just faster and is capable of finding information we would never be able to find before and so I think that that's evolving us as well as a species that's I guess going a little away from the book and I guess that's why I'm not really telling anyone about my meditations or automatic writings but with my meditations I do also use the voice memo to record those and then I do my automatic writing I put it all into the AIs after I'm done just to confirm whether I'm crazy or it's real information that came through some of it it it will tell me well that part is a little creative and we can't find information on that but it doesn't mean it's not true it might be information that nobody knows about yet so it'll give answers like that but I have been finding it's been so profound for me lately I've been crying because when I find out that let's say Galloway was a real location and it had a significance to Norse and Viking mythology somehow and and like if that all comes together with my message I find myself crying I've done a lot of crying through all of this and it's not just like I'm gonna how can I explain it like light crying it's like a deep crying that is like almost like the dark night of your soul like you're kind of shedding the old layers or a lot like this morning when I found out my message a lot of the locations were totally real in our world and on our map um I did start crying this like um an emotional deep crying that that it's true like the truth like that was really true and now I'm crying because I guess I'm so happy that it's true you know I'm so happy that the message that I gave it was confirmed was true and that's something I can't really tell you but I did tell my cousin because I'm really close to him and he he believes me and he he believes in the messages and he'll he'll call me sometimes and say hey did you get any messages about the government I'm like no I don't I don't talk about government issues even if I do it'll be in the book but but you know that's not gonna come up you know and plus you don't know what's really gonna happen because the future can change anyway so then you know you don't know are are you a psychic are you a medium are you an empath do you just do this like I'm kind of lost in that way and I am trying to find help for myself and I'm trying to kind of reach out to people that know more about that than I do to help me I think it's just being at one with yourself and doing what fulfills you and I mean the writing and the podcasting definitely help a lot of people um when they're speaking kind of like a solo show which yours is they kind of they fare doing that how could you those that fare doing it but would be very good like you've got a skill set for that and I know a lot of people would but they just have a fear of actually making the jump how would you encourage people to actually start doing the solo that they wouldn't they they're not living in fear of not doing it yes that's the hardest part I think with everyone is to get rid of the whole fear that's been embedded in really in your whole self and soul for so long that's that was the hardest part for me was to just go for it and to just let everything about me out for the world to see um I had gone to college for environmental biology which I never graduated because I was more of an art student but I had a course called um where you get up in front and you have to speak in front of large audiences public speaking that's what it was and I would miss that course every day I would on purpose not show up for class because I was so afraid of being anywhere in front of people that they would look at me and then having to say something out of my mouth that they might not understand or might not like and I was so fearful at that time I never went to one public speaking class and so when I started my job as a mobile home agent I had to kind of get over that a little bit and start speaking to people answering the phone all the time um sometimes being in large group of people that want to look at homes they're asking me questions oh gosh I hope that my answers are correct um then having to deal with my um my boss and and making sure that I was doing right by him and um that was hard for me but then that also it it had to be meant to be on my life path because that helped me to kind of come out of my shell and be a little less scared so then at the end of the whole thing with my job I think that pummeled me forward because it was so uh frustrating and um depressing dealing with lying non-truth situations that it kind of pummeled me forward into the spiritual realm um because I had no other choice but to look now to God or you know or to to angels or to spiritual leaders on on YouTube or to anything I can learn something about there's got to be more to life so I think that for people and my advice would be to start um sitting with yourself for only start with maybe five or ten minutes in the morning I know that many people have very busy lives and you probably don't have five minutes like like my life used to be um but if you can sit with yourself for five to ten minutes in the morning and take a couple of deep breaths and just sit there with your eyes closed in silence or you can put on like sometimes I'll put on frequencies from YouTube or I'll listen to um Native American uh flute music um things like that that really calm me down I'll do that if you could just do that in the morning just for 10 minutes it will start to change your life and make you less afraid just by doing that and then if you could say to yourself ask the questions who am I why am I really here am I really here to be stressed out all day am I here to be afraid of everything I do do I want to be afraid until the day that I pass away or do I want to just take the chance to be myself take the chance to be yourself just one time one day with one person go outside and say something to them that they don't know anything about about you and see what happens see if they're going to say oh that's weird and walk away from you or if they're going to say oh wow I never knew that about you thanks for sharing that because the truth is they want to do the same thing everybody does nobody wants to be in fear nobody wants to suffer you know we need to eliminate that from the world and the only way to do it is if all of us just take the first step forward and that's how I would do it because that's how I did it I took my own self and I gave my own self time to sit with myself just sit with myself and then eventually it led to me pulling out old things that happened to me in the past like maybe somebody was mean to me and so I pulled out that string one at a time you know let that go you can transmute anything negative into positive I learned that from spiritual leaders there's a lot of people on youtube that can help just by watching things like even a near-death experience their experience of of having that it's profound there's so many of them and it's not going to probably be on the news but maybe it will be but you know you kind of have to just go into yourself and try to be authentically you because that's very important especially today if you notice a lot of the new children that are being born are different from us I believe more of them are being more of of who they are you know we instead of hating it or fearing it or you know not liking this and not liking that how about instead of what happened to me this morning was I went outside and my neighbors were immediately talking about bad things and I was out there looking for the next rainbow because I saw one two days ago and I said to my one neighbor I go there any rainbows out there and she goes oh I don't know and as we were looking at the rainbows trying to see them two people came out of their home and they were already in the mode of fear and suffering and so yeah the I I think the way to do it is to just give yourself in the beginning five to ten ten minutes just be alone and I think the key is taking those deep breaths closing your eyes just imagine you don't have to imagine anything just imagine nothing or if you have to think of something how about something that you love like some people love to go to the beach every day some people love let's say dragons like me I might think about that because that's cool some people might think about pug puppies I know that's all over the internet and people love that kind of stuff but if you could think of something like that give you don't you think that you're worth it why do you think you're born you don't exist for nothing you exist for a reason I mean life is special right aren't babies special when they come into the world isn't it like a miracle well you're still the same miracle that you were before you might be 58 like me but you're still the same miracle from when I was born there's a reason why we're all here and I believe we all have a gift every one of us so don't think that oh well I'm not creative okay well maybe you're good with math maybe you can work in a bank because I know I can't I can't count too well you know but maybe you can so everyone I believe on the planet has something to offer I don't think anyone is truly bad I don't I think it's a lot in their mind and what was taught to them and their belief system or what is surrounding them but just get get out of it for at least a couple minutes in the morning because the morning is a fresh start so just try it even for a day and I'll bet it changes you because I had a time when I I couldn't meditate like I had to go to the doctor one morning and I couldn't do my meditation and then the next day I had to do something else and it was two days without my meditation I then noticed how different I used to be because I was I felt like I was heavy like I was like uh walking on the moon with with uh heavy moon boots you know and and and I and I couldn't jump up it it was that heavy just now not doing meditation it's just such a difference in my life I'm a totally different person now than I was before I started this you know excellent excellent and I think yeah nobody has excuses and I I loved what you said and I encourage people to do that because it definitely helps just finally where you're hosted where where do you host it and also you know I see you're
