The Spiritual Grind
Following Breadcrumbs
Have you ever followed a random inspiration that made absolutely no sense at the time? That's exactly what happened when we felt an inexplicable urge to visit the casino on what was supposed to be an ordinary day of appointments and errands.
What followed was a fascinating journey of synchronicity, intuitive nudges, and ultimately, profound self-discovery. Parking in space "2C" (literally "to see" why we were there), we wandered the casino floor following subtle guidance. The experience wasn't about winning or losing money—though we did walk away with some extra cash—but about uncovering deeply hidden beliefs that were limiting our relationship with abundance.
Through this spontaneous adventure, we discovered how fear of losing money was preventing one of us from fully following intuitive guidance, while the other harbored an unconscious belief that winning too much might lead to gambling addiction and financial ruin. Neither belief reflected our actual experiences or behaviors, but both were silently restricting our financial container.
The most powerful aspect wasn't just identifying these limiting beliefs but experiencing how automatically they dissolved once brought to awareness. This episode explores the remarkable way our higher selves communicate—sometimes through random inspirations, sometimes through our partners, and occasionally even through messages from old friends. When we remain open to following these breadcrumbs without resistance or expectations about what "should" happen, we create space for profound transformation.
What limiting beliefs might you discover by simply following an intuitive nudge? Join us as we share this illuminating experience and provide practical insights on recognizing and releasing the hidden fears that may be constraining your own abundance. The spiritual journey often looks crazy from the outside, but the internal revelations make it all worthwhile.
Welcome back to the Spiritual Grind. We are here today having a little fun. Went to Casino yesterday.
Speaker 2:Good morning.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, hang on, dr Jimmy. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Dr Ginny to the studio. What is that about? Sorry, that was funny. I thought it was funny, proper introduction yes sorry, yes, my queen, I apologize that I did not properly introduce you.
Speaker 2:Off with his head.
Speaker 1:Oh, no, help me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we went to the casino yesterday.
Speaker 1:We did.
Speaker 2:What was that about?
Speaker 1:Discovery Indeed Some old stuff.
Speaker 2:I think it's you know what. It's a good example.
Speaker 1:Yes, I agree.
Speaker 2:Of what people would consider the craziness of how we go through our journey.
Speaker 1:So, start us off with that story. So yesterday morning I wake up and I'm at this inkling just to go to the casino, and that never happens to me, it's like very rare. And so I was like you know what? Hey, what do you think? Let's go to the casino today and she's like's like okay follow the breadcrumb man and so I was like we get, we go to the.
Speaker 1:I don't know what's drawing me there. To be honest with you, don't have any clue. I just know that that once we get there, we parked on lucky street lucky street. We just happened to park in 2c.
Speaker 2:We were there 2c yeah, why we were there? Yeah, because we got out of the car and we always look to see where we're parked so we can find ourselves again yeah find our car and we get out and yeah it was in 2c yeah and we don't mean wa 2c, we mean like 2c.
Speaker 1:Why we're there? Yeah, it's pretty cool and so we walk in and, uh, we walk through one little part of the casino and I told jenny to follow her instinct and she leads us across the casino right to the bathroom, because she had to pee that's right.
Speaker 2:I was like, okay, follow me. And I'm getting drawn, I was drawn I was drawn, I was drawn looking for a machine, but what was obviously screaming much louder was my bladder, because I took us right to the bathroom and I did need to go tinkle, but I was trying to ignore it and I was like anyway, not gonna happen.
Speaker 1:I was like, oh sorry, my bad, let's stop here so we go, we go to the bathroom and then we continue on. We go downstairs to the second floor and to the casino. It's like the, it's like the second largest part of the casino, and we, I mean, I had like I, I had like I think I had like $50 in cash in my wallet.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had probably like $25 maybe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we go to this one machine and we put $40 in it and lost it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then Jenny jumped over there with her $20 and you got it up right Like 80 bucks, no you played the one where the little buckets fill up. Oh, yeah, yeah, Remember, you played that one first. Yeah, I played that one first.
Speaker 2:And that paid out.
Speaker 1:It did, it doubled my money actually.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then I go to the ATM. I got some cash at the ATM and we continue on and I go over to oh yeah, that's when I did it I went over to the Rags to Riches.
Speaker 2:At this point we kind of separated. We often when we go in there we'll kind of go our own way, so we can kind of do our own thing.
Speaker 1:But still in the back of my mind I was wondering why am I inkling to go to the casino? And so I sit down at rag to riches and I put a hundred dollar bill in it and cashed out with, uh, 356 dollars on the dollar right, right, right yeah and I get up and and I put my money back in my wallet that that I started with.
Speaker 1:and then I went over to a quarter machine and jenny and I were walking and suddenly she disappears. I have no idea where she goes. And I go to a quarter machine and I put a $100 bill in it and it's paying me. It's like every spend I'm winning something. And then I got my $100 turned into $285, and then I had this weird inkling to go find Jenny and so I cashed out. I don't know why I did, but anyway. So that brings us to what you did.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So on my journey I was like, okay, let me check in with my own energy, let me see what my frequency is. Am I aligned with the reality of being able to just walk to a machine, put my money in my $100 bill and first spin double my money, like that's what I was playing with? So I kind of checked in with it. I was like, yeah, I'm ready. So I turned to the machine, whatever it was, because I was like the conversation I was having is it doesn't matter the machine. It was because I was like the conversation I was having is it doesn't matter the machine, the machine doesn't matter, because I usually before yesterday I would go in and I would look for signs, as our previous podcast like what's the?
Speaker 2:sign, and when I saw something that kind of like rang my bell, I'd go play that machine Because I interpreted that as okay, this is the one that's going to pay out. Based on some sort of sign that resonated with me, what happened yesterday was what I got, was? It's not about necessarily always the signs, it's about getting you to check in with your vibrational frequency of the thing that you want, and it doesn't matter the machine, it doesn't matter the numbers. Sometimes it's just that doesn't matter. So it was for me, now that I've had time to look at it, was an opportunity to practice checking in with my frequency. And where am I vibrationally? Anyway, I digress Sat down at a machine. It was called Stinkin' Rich and it had a picture of a skunk Stinkin'.
Speaker 1:Rich.
Speaker 2:I said, all right, show me Stinkin' Rich Put my $100 bill in one spin, bada-bing, bada-bing, and my $100 changed into $215.
Speaker 2:So I was like, thank you very much, cash out, and I walked off took my voucher, traded it in for the cash, set my $115 aside and took my little $100 and went again just to kind of of see, can I find that frequency again right? And so first machine I pop it in. And what I noticed, though, is that I went back to my habit, yeah, of looking for machines that had a sign, rather than actually looking into what frequency am I in?
Speaker 2:So, then when I lost all of that 20, I was like, okay, I'm okay, so let's begin again. Anyway, long story short, in that experiment I ended up giving all of that hundred back and then I was like, okay, I'm done.
Speaker 1:Right. And so I continue on wondering why I got up from that machine that was paying me looking for Jenny. I have no idea why I did and it was kind of weird. So I go over to the Price is Right machine. Price is right, and the very first spin I got to roll the wheel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, very first spin.
Speaker 1:Right and it hit on $85, which was right next to the max jackpot.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 1:Which, by the way, the max jackpot was $39,000.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 1:And it paid. So I made $85. I was up $85 out there and I spun it again. Nothing Spun it on a third time. Hit the wheel again, okay. And so I spin the wheel and it goes to the other side Of the max, of the max price, to the $70 or $90 one. So now I was up $90. And I was sitting there thinking what do I do now? Because I'm really not a slot player, I'm a card player. I don't know why I was playing slots. Well, this is part of our discovery this morning.
Speaker 1:Right Some of this information didn't come to us until we had an opportunity for things to kind of marinate overnight. Yeah, why I'm there? Why I'm looking for Jenny? Why did I get it from a machine?
Speaker 2:that was paying me.
Speaker 1:What beliefs come up out of it. Yeah, and so I sit there. I was like you know what, I'm going to max bet this thing and see if it hits it. And of course I went through my winnings and we got to $113, I think, down to $113. And it hit the wheel again, and I hit the spin button and it hit $10. I was like, oh so you're going to play that game. I was max betting 13 and the wheel gave me $10. Um, and so I, I cash out and I walk away. And then I, and this whole time I'm being drawn to the Baccarat table but I'm not going. Okay, I'm like go play Baccarat, go play Baccarat, I love Baccarat table, but I'm not going. Okay, I'm like go play Baccarat, go play Baccarat, I love Baccarat, by the way, it's fun and anyway. So I continue on. And then Jenny's over there playing this cash wheel thing. It's kind of like roulette, but it's like a big cash wheel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like you pick your number and they spin the wheel for you and you put money down and they spin the wheel for you and you put money down yeah, and hedge your bets on it landing on one of the numbers that you pick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's kind of like craps and roulette combined, just on a cash flow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's kind of just it. And the guy I felt sorry for him because he was standing there and nobody was playing. All the people were passing him over and he looked bored so I was like, okay, let me go over and just see what this is about. So I went over and I was like what is this game? He's like you just put your money on the number and we spin the wheel, see if you win.
Speaker 1:Interesting side note. You know, did you see that sign that was to the left of him? That said that this is not an approved Florida Gaming Commission game. It has been developed by the Hard Rock Casino.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:And so all complaints and whatever has to be waged through the Gaming Commission because it is not an approved game. Oh, no I didn't see that sign, and so I was reading it afterwards as we walked off. I was like, hmm, we get done with that and we walk over and we sit down on one of our old favorite games that we play together, but this whole time I've been driving the buck route and I'm not going to play, and I don't know why.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And so we get done. We're up like I don't know $145, $145. I don't even remember what it was. So we were there for like three hours and we get done, and we're walking out to the truck and I'm still puzzled to why I went.
Speaker 2:Why we were drawn to go.
Speaker 1:Why did I have to get up from that machine that was paying me quite well, and why what was going on? Why didn't I go play Baccarat?
Speaker 2:Right, and so the process for you was, at this point, you're just asking the questions, yeah, waiting for the information to come Correct, not being aggravated annoyed?
Speaker 1:No, no, not at all Frustrated.
Speaker 2:No, I had a good time, it was fine, Not being confused, necessarily, but just asking the questions for additional information. Correct and clarification, yeah, and clarification yes, because going there didn't instantaneously give you what you were there for.
Speaker 1:Correct.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm sharing with the audience, that's right when I'm wanting to take us Sometimes, and just to remind everybody, we didn't get up that morning and say, oh, you know what we're going to go, do X, Y, Z and then go to the lottery house.
Speaker 1:What's it called? We went somewhere. Oh, we went to get a haircut. No, yeah, I went to get a haircut.
Speaker 2:Well, I went to the dentist first. That morning.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's right, and it was at the dentist, right. So let's go to the casino.
Speaker 2:Right, right, and so it was. It was like just going with the flow. He had an inspiration to go to the casino and I mean it wasn't on my agenda necessarily and I could have been like, oh, I don't want to go. But that's not how we live life. We change the plans, if we have any, and we go with that inspirational place.
Speaker 2:Because we did have plans because we had a hair appointment at last appointment too. And so I said to him I said, well, are you thinking like go now? Are you thinking go after our appointments? Or what are you thinking? He's like no, you know what I think go now. So we ran by the house, I got my little fanny pouch and our driver's license.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, that's right, we couldn't find our cards.
Speaker 2:Couldn't find our cards, so then we head over and we left not knowing the answers to some of those questions.
Speaker 1:It was pretty crazy.
Speaker 2:Not knowing why we were actually there. It took us marinating overnight. Yeah, well you brought me messages from a friend from an old friend of mine Give the next part of the story, and so.
Speaker 1:Jenny, she's like I don't remember where you oh yeah, you went when we got the haircut.
Speaker 2:I went to my lash appointment.
Speaker 1:And she came back with messages from a friend of mine and I don't know if he's deceased or if he's alive and he was just actual projecting or whatever it was, but the backstory behind it was me and four friends used to go to the casino a lot together.
Speaker 2:I call him Eggs. That's another story.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's another story and we would go to the casino and there was this one time that nobody could afford to go, and so I gave everybody money to go and we go to the casino.
Speaker 2:So before you tell the story, tell them what I came back and said.
Speaker 1:I don't even remember what all you said.
Speaker 2:Well, so you were getting haircut. I drove over to the lash appointment, which was on the wrong day, by the way.
Speaker 1:So even the plans we thought we had we didn't really have.
Speaker 2:Right, but if I hadn't had gone to an erroneous lash appointment, I wouldn't have seen this big, huge sign that said eggs on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah sign that said eggs on it. Yeah, because the minute I saw that sign that said eggs his essence, whether he's celestial or, like james said, just astral, projecting to bring a message through that james could relate to he came through giving me a visual of what he looks like for validation for me and James, and then came through with information. So I text, I text James and I said yeah, last appointment, wrong day, I'll be back in a minute. I'm headed back your way.
Speaker 1:I was in the barber chair getting haircut.
Speaker 2:So he's like, okay, I'll see you in a minute chair getting haircut. So he's like, okay, I'll see you in a minute. I, he, we come back together. And I'm like, yeah, so eggs is reaching out to me and he said, um yeah, I said his name remember me in the casino.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I was like I don't know what that means. It means something to you, so you're going to have to check in with your journey and your adventures with him in the casino, because he's bringing through a message of remember what he said. Remember him in the casino.
Speaker 1:And so I'm running through my head when she says that with all these stories, because we all went to the casino a lot. It was probably once or twice a month that we would go. So I went through all these scenarios in my head and there was this one time that the five of us took about 50 grand to spend and we ended up being up a ton of money before it was over with. But he was one of them that used to say just do it, man, just do it. He was that guy. That know, he was that guy that you see in the background. That's kind of clownish, that, but he had a very deep spiritual connection. Uh, he would. Uh, he was very energetically inclined and could. Uh, his son was too.
Speaker 2:His son was like crazy yeah, good crazy, spiritually connected and just following that intuitional gut feeling yeah, yeah, but anyway there's.
Speaker 1:A story was when I was at the casino. One time I was going through all these stories in my head. The one that I woke up with was I was at um, a slot machine in a very pronounced, very well-known casino. They're gonna say your names and he kept saying to me max, it, just do it, follow the energy. You know he's like blah, blah, blah going on behind me, and so it leads to this morning us discussing this.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Realizing that I was there because I had a fear of losing money.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And he would, because if you go to the casino with a fear of losing money, you're gonna lose money well not following your intuition not following.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what you had said is I didn't go to play locker interrupting your intuitive guidance of going and playing a different game, or even inhibiting your own self by sitting at the machine and continuing on right because you had a fear of losing, losing and losing your money and I was using going to find jenny as a human excuse oh, I see and so the part about it was is I'm always a loner at the casino, like we would all go with friends and we would meet back later at the bar and anytime I've ever went, if I go with anybody I just kind of go off on myself.
Speaker 1:But I wasn't doing that for some reason, not listening to myself, and it was because I had a fear of losing and I don't know why. I mean, we spend more money than that every weekend, so I don't know why I had this fear and I'm still trying to identify that I'm working on it, but did you lose a bunch of money one time or something? No, I've never lost a bunch of money, because I never allowed myself to lose a bunch of money, right.
Speaker 2:Um, somebody you know that was prominent in your upbringing have a problem with it or nobody?
Speaker 1:might bring anybody money to go to a casino.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:I remember going to a casino after I turned 18 and me and my family members that had went had lost a ton and we actually had to leave early because we were out of money. We had just no money to drive home. But here's the crazy part Back then in Vegas, all the grocery stores had slot machines in them too. They might still to this day, I don't know, but because we had just enough money for gas, a loaf of bread, bologna and a two liter of Pepsi and some mustard.
Speaker 2:When you say family, this was like your mom, your dad.
Speaker 1:Well, there was a couple people involved. I don't want to put them on front.
Speaker 2:I see.
Speaker 1:But when they were cashing out my family member reached in his pocket to pay for the products at the grocery store and found a dollar coin and back then in Vegas you could use dollar coins anywhere. That was back in the early 90s.
Speaker 2:Right right.
Speaker 1:You could cross play coins.
Speaker 2:Oh, I see.
Speaker 1:Because they would cash each other's out and do that back then in the day at least some of them and so he walks up and he puts the dollar coin in the slot machine, pulls the handle and walks off and hits the jackpot oh, wow and it started ringing the bells and the next thing, you know, we end up staying for another seven days. And so, even then, when we lost money, it wasn't.
Speaker 2:It didn't work, it didn't create any fears, it didn't create underlying of losing money and having to be that close to being uncomfortable.
Speaker 1:No, I don't think so. It didn't bother me that I was young. I mean we were going to eat bologna sandwiches and drink Pepsi, that was it. I mean at the time it was like an 18-hour, 19-hour car ride home. I mean I was going to eat bologna sandwiches for one day. Who?
Speaker 2:cares. Maybe it's entangled with society's perspective of gambling or something. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm still checking into it yeah. But the whole part of it was is following those signs, like we talked about in our last podcast or podcast before last is being open and receptive to learn and expand and being able to change your vibration and allow yourself to follow your intuition. In those spots of fear and you know, I had this fear of losing money when who cares?
Speaker 2:Which you hadn't identified before. I hadn't identified right, Right. Until this morning, and I'm still not done with all this.
Speaker 1:I'm still checking in with all of it. Yeah, right, and so for me.
Speaker 2:What came up was I have a fear that if you and I gamble past a certain amount of money or win a certain amount of money, any winnings over that, we will become addicted to it and gamble our life away, our life savings away. And that's the fear that I was holding onto underneath. That I didn't realize was even there, and the weird thing about it is that belief, I think for me comes from my father and his perspective of gambling. You know, he's very conservative. He would go in. He would. He's very conservative, he would go in, he would give himself a set amount. He would. You know, with that set amount he may play the dollar machine, but he wouldn't go past that set amount. Either he won or he didn't. But regardless, even if he was winning, if he said you know what? Here's, I've set aside $500. I'm going in here, I'm spending $500, period.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Even if he was winning, he would not go past that certain amount Because he would do kind of like you and I did that yesterday Win, take the winnings set the winnings aside and pay back the initial investment basically.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then continue to play on that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So it was like he would set the money aside and not touch it, and it was like it didn't exist.
Speaker 2:Yeah set the money aside and not touch it, and it was like it didn't exist, yeah, so if he lost the new investment, so to speak, of 500, even if he was winning and setting it aside, he wasn't registering that he was winning, he was just looking at it from uh okay, well, my 500 is yeah and so I'm done. And so my entanglement came from him and from society's viewpoint on addiction to gambling and gambling your money away and becoming poor and destitute because you gamble it all away. That's what came up for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you gamble it all the way. That's what came up for me, and I find it comical because neither one of us has ever we've always restricted ourselves.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So we've never gone in and even really gambled.
Speaker 1:Well, we don't go to the casino very much at all.
Speaker 2:What I consider a crap. Ton of money we always give ourselves, you know, like a $100, $200. Limit.
Speaker 2:We take this you know, $200 or $300, whatever very minuscule limit out of the bank and when it's gone, it's gone. When we're done, we're done, right. So it's not ever like we've gone out and just dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars in it, right, dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars in it. So for me to have a belief that, oh my god, if either one of us spends whatever that amount of money is that I had to find and I don't even know it is at this point then we're going to be addicts and we're going to gamble our life away and we're going to be destitute and I have anything.
Speaker 2:And so I would find myself as I go back and look at yesterday for myself.
Speaker 2:I would sit down at a machine, and if it didn't pay me in a couple of spins I could feel the tension raise in my body and kind of cringe on wanting to push the button again, and so I would just cash out yeah and I was like nope, I'm, I'm, this machine is not the machine, and it was me trying to link up with the energy of the winning machine rather than trying to link up with the frequency of the reality that exists of me winning, and so I was going about it kind of ass backwards, but that's what popped up for me. So very interesting, very, very interesting, and that's kind of how our journey works you know there's part of that.
Speaker 1:That. You know I was watching. There's a guy because you know how your phone listens to you and I guess because we're at the casino yesterday, everything in my feed this morning was about casinos, yeah, and when I'm sitting here drinking my coffee and this guy named I can't remember his name he's a very well-known professional gambler and he said his advice to any and all slot machine players that in your first hour in the casino, put enough money in the machine to max bet the first five spins on a machine in your first hour, because the the casino set it up for you to win big or to win in your first hours when you get there, because they know if you you're, if they tease you with that, you, you that you'll continue to stay and spend more money. It's like a bait and switch type thing yeah, you're gonna do this and you win that, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1:And he said if it don't pay you in the first five spins, then get up and walk away because that machine is not going to pay you. And he said 92% of the time. That's how they work. That's what he said. Now, who knows if that's true, but the part of it that I thought. What resonated with me was is we were kind of doing that and it subconsciously doing it and not realizing that we were doing it, and it's crazy because we both kind of stopped winning after like the first hour it is.
Speaker 2:It slowed way down yeah, I mean for me. When I put my money in, I literally said out loud when I put my money in and I turned a hundred dollars into $215 on one spin, I was like, okay, I did my part, I doubled my money, I'm done.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And so I tried to realign with the frequency and you know, I lost 20 and gave it back and I was like, yeah, no, I'm done, I can't find it again today and that's okay, so so there's a, there's a guy that popped up this morning too on kind of the same scenario.
Speaker 1:Him he is. He was an attorney for me.
Speaker 2:That stuff doesn't resonate with me.
Speaker 1:No, no it doesn't resonate with me, but I thought this was a good story because it's kind of cool of him following his spiritual guidance. He was an attorney in California and he came to Vegas one weekend with three of his friends and they walk in there and he says out loud to these guys I'm going to turn this $100 into $200,000 in the next year oh, he gave himself a whole year to do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so he started with the hundred dollar bill. He walked in and he this is all. I actually started. I went through and watched and over the course of the last seven months, he takes that money like he walks into the casino the first day because he's videoing all of this. He puts a hundred dollars on black on the roulette, doubles his money, quits with that money and then he goes and gambles about his way and he's put this money back the next time he comes in. He put a hundred dollars on black and, and, and it doubled up, and so he now he's sitting at three hundred dollars in this pile and he is actually up to a hundred and twelve thousand dollars just by doing things like that going to the craps table and putting $1,000 on the pass line and just waiting for it to win. And he's been doing that now and he's like nine months in and he's over $100,000 and just keeping that money off to the side. And he's got like 800,000 followers now because he posts the video.
Speaker 1:He goes down there every weekend just to do this video and it's been a couple hours there, and it was interesting, though, how he's doing it, because he's just not playing the same game every time and he's not bidding all the money at the same time. He's not like doubling up every single time he is, he just follows his energetic path, cause you see him in the video. He's like okay, so what am I going to play today? No, blackjack, don't feel good. Um, you know we're letting out or the stop machine.
Speaker 1:He walks through the slots and on the last video I watched him this morning he was. He had walked up to the uh three card poker table and he puts down the ante and they deal in double aces, a pair of aces, and and then the video cuts off, says to be continued, because you know that's a big payout on that table. And so now he's got to bet and hope that the he don't match the house. But make it long story short, it's interesting how he's following his spiritual journey, setting an intention and going and doing it yeah it was pretty impressive to me I mean, that's kind of the direction I wanted to take.
Speaker 2:This experience that we had yesterday is no matter how cuckoo brain it sounds, just following your breadcrumbs and allowing it to be okay for your daily journey to change and look different, because you're following some harebrained inspiration that you get. And clearing history Just go follow it and see what happens.
Speaker 1:See what happens, yep.
Speaker 2:Just because and that's how we do life, that's how we do life all the time Right, we just have harebrained idea. And we just run with it, we just go with it. Why not Like sometimes I'll come to him and I'll say, listen, I don't really know why, but I need to go to this store and we go there. It's not that I really need to buy anything from that store. We walk around for a little bit and maybe a book will fall off the shelf or Like that Target time.
Speaker 1:We did that at Target and that dude. And we're like outside at Target by the car waiting trying to figure out why we just did that and this random homeless guy walks up to us and says I don't know what you're doing. Or he says something like keep doing it.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:And so we were like okay, yeah. So it was crazy how you follow the journey and the little breadcrumbs yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But the, I think, the more realistic part of this for me that really hit home this morning as I was thinking about all of it, was the fact of we are open enough for me to come to you and say, listen, I need to go to the casino today.
Speaker 2:I got this idea. I need to go do this.
Speaker 1:You know, and it made me, it made me very appreciative. I even said that yesterday. I'm like you know, I love our relationship because I can say stuff like that to you and and there is no emotions involved.
Speaker 2:There's no kickback or any emotions involved.
Speaker 1:There's no kickback or any. No, I really enjoy it. But being able to work through those little breadcrumbs of old beliefs and baggage is a key to living that fulfilled, energetic life, I think, and yeah when, when we allow each other to do that, it's. Yeah, it can put you in some weird stories, but it's really fun.
Speaker 2:It is fun, it is and that's another part of all of it is instead of, because I could have very well been like oh all, right, here we go again, begrudgingly go, yeah, and that would have closed me off to having an opportunity to Double your money, having an opportunity to double your money believe, not clear beliefs that were layered up on my side of things because it was not what I had planned on my to-do list, necessarily, and I'm just it wasn't even on mine either but instead we don't.
Speaker 2:We don't go about it that way. If one or both of us comes to each other and has a breadcrumb that we want to follow, I mean, we grab hands and we say a lot, you and me kid, here we go Skip to the loo. And let's see where it takes us. Because of that, you know that, just that curiosity, wonderment of where's this going to take us?
Speaker 1:And what's going to happen next? Right, you just never know, because when you don't allow yourself to finish those um beliefs and stuff, who knows what could happen or what? And if you do follow them like you, just never know. You could, we could, we could have walked in there and and put a dollar in a dollar machine and won it $100 million.
Speaker 2:Or you could have met somebody that could have changed your life?
Speaker 1:You just don't know.
Speaker 2:I mean, it was life-changing it is life-changing Because we had the opportunity to open up resistance to hidden beliefs that we didn't realize were even in there, agreed, and now we're forever changed because of that, because the process works like this, just to recap when you have a belief in place, once you are aware of it and you are done with it, or you decide that you're ready to re-script that belief or let it go, it's automatic, like it happens automatically. And so now, having done that, we have actually increased our money container because we no longer have beliefs that are keeping that container small and not allowing it to have room by these beliefs around gambling, which includes all forms you know scratch, tickets, lottery- Because, I win a lot of lottery, but it's only tiny amounts.
Speaker 2:It may be $10 here. It may be only $100. Like that, one time I won $500, and I haven't been able to repeat that and I'm like why is that 170 last weekend?
Speaker 2:I did. But I can't seem to get past that threshold of 500 and I always use the lottery to kind of play with and I was like and sometimes we do that we play with different things just to see if beliefs will pop up, and I can't ever seem to get to anything bigger than 500, and so I'm always kind of digging around in that and by doing this random adventure and having no insistence on what it must look like and no assumption of what it must look like, just being completely open to if I win, I win, if I don't, I don't. If I go in there just to have a cup of coffee, if I gamble at all, like I'm just open to whatever this storyline ends up being, whether it be for me or for him, and I had no expectation and no insistence on what this must look like. I didn't go in there saying, all right, I'm going in there, I'm gonna win X amount of dollars and I must, or at least, if I don't, it's a ruined trip and I'm gonna be aggravated.
Speaker 1:Right, you're creating a limit too when you do that.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:And people don't understand. I've gotta win at least $1,000. Well, if you align with it, you're going to win $1,000. But you had just capped off what you're going to win with an intention.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it could have been a whole lot more than that. Oh yeah, most of the time it will. You could very well not win anything.
Speaker 1:That's right, depending on what it is, because the universe says if you're going to cap me, I'm not going to give you nothing.
Speaker 2:And I didn't walk away with the With the huffy, puffy frustration of I only won $115. Woe is me Grumble and gruff, like it was still this fun, childlike exploration of. Okay, I'm interested and excited to see what this brings up. Right, even if I got to wait till tomorrow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know it's kind of crazy. It's a fun world to live in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and because for me one of the other fun components of it was I love whenever uh, dead people or essence of people when they astral project come through. I, I like to do that yeah and so when eggs came through. However, because we haven't been able to find any evidence that, he's dead or alive dead.
Speaker 2:So what can happen sometimes is people higher self will use the essence of certain people right in our path to get us to resonate with an experience, to open up your frequency, to be able to see the message coming through.
Speaker 1:Yeah, good times.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, the crazy part about that is how accurate you are, because he was saying he used to always use the word bro you were like come on, bro. Everything was bro, bro, bro. What are you doing, bro? Right, and that's how you were saying it. I was like, oh, that's weird, because we've you know I've never even seen him and I was explaining to you, yeah, and you described him visually how he coming across, so you would know who I was talking about. Tall skinny beard, yeah, dark hair.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And he had dark wavy hair. He kind of kept all slick back like Elvis and he had a beard. I mean he's a real cool guy. He always was in my book because of the way he lived.
Speaker 2:Well, we were good friends. I mean, we don't know for sure that he's gone. Oh, I don't have no idea.
Speaker 1:Non-physical but I mean, I do know that one of my five friends that we would all go, I'd go with. You know, one of them did die the year before last and he died in a weird situation. But it that he is dead, it would completely surprise me if he is dead. If he is dead because surprised? Yeah he, he is a religious guy that stays healthy, he eats well, he's that. He's that kind of guy to where he's always like he's a jogger, a bicycler, he, yeah, he except for when he goes and is on his binge.
Speaker 2:Yeah, smoke.
Speaker 1:Yeah, him and his wife would go on vacation once a week. They were going for a week vacation somewhere every normally four to six months, and they would stay freaking high for a week while they were gone and do crazy stuff and then come back and be sober. But anyway, that's why I'm not naming any names. But he always lived a very healthy, happy life.
Speaker 2:Well, but that brings up a rabbit hole thing is just because you live a healthy, happy life doesn't mean that you aren't you. You create an exit plan oh yeah and it doesn't mean that you have to be sick and old and decrepit to exit that's correct. Planet yeah, you can be perfectly healthy and fine, and when your exit plan time comes, it's your turn. You're getting sucked off this planet.
Speaker 1:But you know, I think to kind of finish up this podcast is I think the main part of all of this is for people to remember is being open to. If you're in a partnership or relationship or whatever it is, be open to the other person. Because that's a very good feeling that I had yesterday when I could openly say that to Jenny and be like listen, I know we get plans to do things, but I'm having this inkling to go to the casino. I don know why, I have no clue why, and but you know she was like okay, you can just, okay, let's go change gears.
Speaker 2:I go get my casino fanny pack on yeah, get a jacket here we go, and the reason for me on my side of it is that I know that one of two things. Here's what I know. A. Along your journey, I will learn something about myself and about you. Right and B, your inkling may be for me.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:It may be for me and I just can't. I'm not in a place on the on the particular topic that I can hear directly from my hair self. So my hair self is using you as the vehicle of information and vice versa, and you never know that.
Speaker 2:Yeah and so, by being open and receptive to go on the journey, it could be that that journey was solely and totally, completely my higher self taking me on a journey yeah and it just so happened that this one was a journey for you and a journey for me, separate and apart from yeah and then together because I kind of looped it all together of oh my god, we're both going to go in here, we're going to spend our life savings and we're going to become addicts and have to be, broken destitute, and so that's why I would recommend it.
Speaker 2:If your spouse comes to you or your mate or your significant other or your best friend or whatever, and says come on, we got to go, do this, go with the flow. Because you never know what the message is in it for you.
Speaker 1:Never know.
Speaker 2:And you know your higher self may be working through that person to get you to hear them.
Speaker 1:Correct, I do have a good casino story.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like this one time. It was probably At band camp Back in the late 90s, early 2000s I think. It was like 2000, 2001. I went to Boisier City with some friends him and his wife and we had went to the poker or the blackjack table in the back and his wife said that there's a quarter slot right by the entry and we had this. We had a five o'clock appointment. This was like eight o'clock in the morning. We had a five o'clock dinner at the Binion Steakhouse reservation. And so we're at the blackjack, we go in and out, we're going around doing things. We wouldn't eat lunch. She didn't want to go, she wasn't hungry.
Speaker 1:And so hungry, and so we come back and we go back to the poker room. We were playing poker, yada yada, but she's still sitting at four o'clock on this same machine okay she is set there and she's actually up like 800 bucks okay.
Speaker 1:And there there was two guys that were sitting in the slot machines, kind of behind her, just watching her play, and so we get, we're you, so we're ready to go back, take a shower, get ready to go to Binion's eat a steak, and we're standing there. It's like 4 o'clock, maybe 10 to 4, something like that, and we sit there until like 4.30, 4.40. And then finally my friend was like come on.
Speaker 1:We've got to go. We've got a 5 o'clock reservation. She was like okay, and she said I don't want to, but okay and she cashes out. And she started with $100, and she cashes out like $800. And she'd been there all day. And so she gets up. One of those two guys that are back there watching her walks over.
Speaker 1:Oh no, while we're waiting on the elevator and we're bing, hit the the elevator and he walks up behind her, puts player card in, puts a 20 bill in, hits max bet and all you hear is the buzzers and the bells going off. Damn, it's the largest quarter jackpot in louisiana state history 14.9 million dollars in quarters oh my god, she was steaming oh, my god, is she that?
Speaker 1:she heard the bells go off and we knew it was close. And the look on my friend's face, his name I'll call him randy he's passed. He looks over at her and you get to see the fear in his eyes because she swarmed down that machine was going to pay her. And we turn around and, sure enough, that guy's like, yeah, he's doing this, like that. And he points at her oh, and that was the. That was the nail in the coffin for him. And then the next morning we were teasing her and him and we went down and bought a bunch of papers because the guy was on the front page of the bozer city paper.
Speaker 2:We had them all over the hotel room.
Speaker 1:Oh goodness me it was so funny though it was, I mean, the reality is is it wasn't gonna pay her yeah, she wasn't aligned with no, it wasn't gonna pay her, but I thought it was pretty funny 14.8 million dollars in quarters oh my god yeah, I didn't realize those machines would actually get up that high yeah, but you know this was back before progressive slots, I believe. I don't think they even had progressive slots back then maybe they did I don't know, but it was.
Speaker 2:It was huge, it was like crazy big really yeah, I didn't know that the machine slots would pay that amount of money.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, it was nuts. I want to see if I can find that article, but anyway, so it was Wow.
Speaker 2:Goodness me, life changing experience Huh.
Speaker 1:But anyway, so it was a, it was a big deal. It was all over the front page of the paper and and we kept giving giving them a hard time.
Speaker 2:It was pretty crazy, yeah, so just to recap, I I wanted to share yesterday's adventure because you know, we're going through this same life with you guys. We have human experiences, and that's just another good example of how we navigate the weirdness yeah and when it pops up, we just follow the crumb man and go with the flow and see what it's about with a curious mindset not, yeah, not getting frustrated, aggravated, trying to really listen to and watch the signs and follow the nudge.
Speaker 1:Follow your instinct.
Speaker 2:Take the action that you can best take If a message comes through that you need to go to this place and you're at work. Well, you can't obviously leave work, but the minute that you can pop in there and just see, what information might be there, and just be open and don't have any insistence on what it must look like or what has to happen. Just kind of stay easy with it and go with the flow.
Speaker 1:Take it easy, will you?
Speaker 2:You never know what the information is or what will pop up for you and be revealed on what you're ready to release and redefine or let go of.
Speaker 1:I think the biggest reward of that is what happens after you get all that cleared out of the way. What happens next? That's kind of the optimism for me. Yeah, that's what. What door does that open?
Speaker 2:Right, we're kind of at that stage of okay, now that we've cleared that.
Speaker 1:What's next? What amazing Do I need to go back to you, Sina? I mean, what's going on?
Speaker 2:Right, what amazing things are going to pop up and we're going to get to experience from going through that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, pretty fun. Yeah, well, I feel pretty complete. How do you feel?
Speaker 2:I feel good, all right, as always.
