Unpopular Opinion: The Fundamentals Of An Alternative View

Henry Ford said it best: "if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." In this monthly podcast series, I talk about radically alternative ways of approaching life's conflict and offer peaceful solutions. As a lawyer I saw how we broke it all apart, as a modern shaman, I explain how we unify. This episode provided some fundamental metaphysical concepts behind these ideas and serves as a reference point for future episodes. The future is bright!

Transcript

Well,

Hello everybody.

My name is Virginia Warren.

I'm a shaman and lawyer,

And I,

It seems,

Have some unpopular opinions.

It's because I see the world quite differently to most people.

The reason I'm starting this podcast was I sat down one day at my computer starting to write an article called The Unpopular Opinion.

And as I sat there with the cursor blinking at me as I was about to embark on a reputational journey of no return,

I thought I could perhaps begin by prefacing my views with some fundamental concepts that I hold.

These are my belief systems,

And I say to everybody that's listening to take whatever resonates with you and leave the rest behind.

So,

But effectively what you can have now is a basis upon which to test my outside of the matrix ideas.

You see,

I think that most of us have been living the same life day in,

Day out for all of our lives.

Some of us live the same day for 75 years and wonder why it's not exciting.

In fact,

Most of life is getting boring,

Even the conflict.

So why would I bother bringing these ideas to people,

Particularly when I face the potential of ridicule for doing so?

Well,

It seems clear that questions are swirling around us about the normality of life.

People are asking questions such as,

When will life get back to normal?

As if there ever was a normal.

What is normal?

Define normal.

Normal for me is way different to normal for you or for normal for anybody else around you.

Normal is just a habit,

I believe.

So you know,

If the idea of normal was a few years back before all these things started creeping into our lives unexpectedly,

Then what is that?

Is that still a desirable status quo?

Was that truly a happy place for you?

Be honest.

Or was it simply a figment of an imagined idea that was no more than just a safe place or just a regular existence?

You knew what to expect.

This is like the old familiar.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's just that why do we reminisce on these things,

Thinking that that was the ideal?

It's like back in those good old days.

But really,

When we examine the good old days from the point of view of what is optimal,

They weren't that good.

In any event,

As we continue to step into the unknown,

We have an opportunity now to really,

Really start exploring and questioning every aspect of our lives.

If we have been taught anything in the recent years,

It's what does it feel like when everything's really taken away?

What is there left?

Have we questioned our existence?

It's very interesting as we watch our world reflect back to us,

A place that now appears to be falling apart.

If we look around us,

People are disagreeing everywhere.

We get this feeling that something might be off,

And that feeling is really a stirring deep within us,

That there is so much more to this life than meets the eye.

And that's where my opinions and ideas come from.

It's in my experience,

And my experience has been a really wild ride at times.

I have truly experienced this life on certain scales of domestic violence and abuse and all sorts of things that have occurred to me.

And I see the value in those.

But as we go on,

I will explain this in further episodes,

But just for the moment,

I see everything as always unfolding perfectly.

As I said,

I'll dive into the depths of all of that in later episodes,

But save to briefly say that from one point of view,

Destruction breeds creation.

Destruction breeds creation.

We need to tear down the old before we can build a new.

Now this may seem insensitive to some people,

Particularly with the state of the world as it's in at the moment,

But it is a crucial idea for those of you who are looking to seek or you're searching out deeper meaning,

Perhaps even with a view to reframing your own life.

You will be required at some point to let go of the old and to,

That's a tough thing.

That's a really tough thing to do.

I've done it.

And to the best of my ability,

I am living the reframed life.

It was simply a decision I needed to make before it was made for me,

So to speak.

That's really fundamentally how I see the universe working,

Is that if you don't follow the path that you've effectively chosen,

You will have it chosen for you and it can be really unpleasant.

So if you're not going to make those decisions to step into some darker places,

They can be made for you and it could be a little bit worse than what you thought.

That could be a bit of an unpopular opinion,

But it has happened.

I've seen it happen and it's happened to me too.

So now I look at the world from a largely peaceful place with a sense that all is always in correct order.

There is divine order.

And we even know this in physics and I'll talk about that too because what looks like chaos.

Lorenz's butterfly shows us that at this really,

Really,

Really small level,

Everything is in perfect,

Perfect order.

And as I progress,

In my life,

As I progress,

I need reminding less and less to choose to see life this way,

That everything's a problem.

You know,

I choose reminding less and less.

That means nobody has to keep reminding me to look at life like it's in perfect order.

Because every time I do this,

I can see the manifestation of that idea.

So basically when I look at life as perfection,

It comes up that way.

And perfection is,

Wow,

Look at this opportunity.

Look at what's happening here.

What can I learn from this?

And this is really,

Really cool.

It's a cool way of looking at things if there's nothing else in it for you.

But I assure you that there is emerging scientific support for my opinions.

And from a very fundamental perspective,

What I share is basic physics.

It isn't woo woo.

It isn't some ideas that nobody's really come up with before.

It's physics.

And I will be framing some physics into my discussions as time goes on.

So you might have to learn a little science.

It's all good fun.

And that said,

The words I write are not intended to convince you of anything at all.

But all I'm perhaps hoping for or doing this is perhaps to awaken within you.

That's a spark of knowing that there's a deeper truth of reality,

Something for you to explore yourself.

Our commonly held belief of reality,

It feeds us data every day by people we've trusted,

The news politicians,

Even social media,

Some of our friends,

By those we've trusted to have the answers.

But it seems that we no longer know who to trust anymore.

We don't know who to trust.

Trust has been really eroded.

And my view on that is that it's time for us now to start trusting in our own knowing.

This is the basic principle of my discussions is you all have this innate knowing about things.

We are just clouding that knowing with thoughts and fear-based,

Fear-based thoughts,

Essentially.

But it's too much thinking things rather than feeling into them.

And that knowing is my guidance.

So I do all this and it's worked for me.

Indeed,

From the place of my darkest experiences,

I've found light.

And I know that sounds crazy and there's no one to blame.

There's no blaming any more people.

So I believe this qualifies me because I've been able to see this as having accumulated sufficient experiential knowledge,

Which might be beneficial to you also.

Now I want to make it very clear that I do not have your answers.

I have my own.

I do not have yours.

You have your answers.

Only you,

You and nobody else.

So this is what has been happening.

We've been out there looking for the answers everywhere.

So if even this small concept is something you can take away from this episode,

Then I've been effective in delivery.

So nothing and no one out there can be responsible for your experience of this life.

So without all the sparkles and unicorns,

All the woo woo,

I'm called to bring some grounded guidance so that you can readily access the knowing that you already have within you.

So this episode,

As I said at the beginning,

Is just providing you with a little bit of a framework for my ideas as I go on so that you might understand where I'm coming from because I don't want to have to keep repeating it,

Although I probably will because that's who I am.

But in no particular order of importance and very briefly because these are simple concepts,

But also very complex.

That's the paradox here.

So the concepts I'm imparting for you are that number one,

Life is a game.

That's a fun idea.

And that's how I approach it.

I approach it like some sneaky devil or devils hid love away from me.

And it's my mission to find it again.

I believe that each of us was born as pure,

Loving,

Innocent beings until the rules of society were placed upon us.

Those rules of societies created fears within us and disconnected us from love.

So we started to look to our parents for love and then outside of us to our boyfriend,

Girlfriend,

Chocolate,

Sports car,

Other people,

Other fun things for the love that we are.

We felt empty.

But it's because we disconnected or we were disconnected from love at a very young age.

And I will explain more about that in episodes to come.

But the thing is,

The love is always there.

You just disconnected from it like you are.

You are love incarnate.

You've just clouded the access to the state of unconditional love that you are.

You reside in that state at all times.

It's just the unconscious fears and they're unconscious.

You don't know that they exist.

Beliefs that are not authentically yours.

And those unconscious fears are keeping you back from your authentic self.

They're keeping you away from your autonomy,

Your authenticity.

And they are effectively keeping you away from feeling at peace.

But these are all choices and these are self-created.

It's crazy.

But when you can see it this way,

It's just like,

Wow,

This is all within my own power.

I can do this myself.

So very simply though,

Where you hold onto a fear of life,

You're just denying your own access to love.

And why would you choose to do that?

Sounds a bit silly,

Doesn't it?

But fear and love are just states of being.

That's all they are.

I'm not talking about love the doing word,

Because that terrifies people.

They've been hurt by love so many times because of the way it's been approached.

Love is a state of being where fear doesn't exist.

The big deal is you cannot exist in the state of love and the state of fear at the same time.

Try something for me.

So,

Feel what seriousness feels like.

Just feel serious.

Like,

This is all very serious,

You know,

Very,

Very serious stuff this life.

Just feel it in your body for a moment.

You can start feeling,

You feel a little bit of tension.

Now what I would like you to do is feel what peace feels like in your body.

What does peace feel like?

Feel an overwhelming sensation of peace flood your body right now.

Two different states of being.

They are two different states of being.

One is based in fear,

The other is based in love.

You cannot exist in the two places at once,

And this is simply a choice.

Now the next thing is,

Number two,

It's all energy.

And this is like amazing if you get this idea.

When you can see life as all energy,

The game changes.

I probably say this a hundred times,

So forgive me about that,

And I will talk about forgiveness too.

So,

We have been duped into hanging on tightly to the belief that what you see is what you get.

But the reality is our physical eyes see very little at all.

And I actually believe,

Don't quote me on the number of zeros here,

But I think it's 0.

0035% of light is all that our eyes can process.

So that is crazy.

It's hardly,

You're hardly seeing anything at all,

And we think we see it and we know it,

And it's just beyond me really,

That we think that what we see is what we get.

But so we are more than our physicality.

We are connected to all things for all time.

We are energetic fields.

And look,

This is science.

It's not something that we've just made up here,

And it's not something that's woo-woo.

Again,

Just look it up.

It's really important because when you understand that it's all energy,

It's a huge concept,

But if you work with this idea,

You can reframe your view to understand that aside from being inherently connected to everything,

Energy also has the properties of frequency and flow.

And it's like low vibes and high vibes.

A high frequency is like a love-based frequency.

A low frequency or low vibes is a fear-based frequency,

And you resonate with like frequencies.

You also flow.

Energy flows.

If you are creating resistances in your life,

You're blocking your flow,

And it doesn't feel good,

And we'll talk about all that.

But these are helpful concepts in the game.

And remember,

It's just physics.

And the third thing I'd like to mention,

A third concept,

Is that time is an illusion.

All you have is right now,

And now that moment is gone.

And now that moment is gone.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Time helps you play the game in a linear fashion.

But all you really have is right this moment.

You don't have the next moment until the next moment comes.

And that moment that just went by is gone now.

Every single moment is precious and will never happen again.

But when we remain in time,

So to speak,

We are holding onto the past to predict our future events.

And this is limiting us,

Because we are going into the past all the time.

It doesn't exist anymore.

This moment is fresh.

The past doesn't exist.

We think we can go back there,

And we can look at it and then predict the future from it.

That limits your choices in the game.

You think you know what's going to happen.

You actually have no idea.

You have no control.

You see,

Time,

The past and the future,

Is where fear exists.

Because if you are going into the past,

You're usually concerned about something.

You're usually feeling anxious or depressed.

You're worried about what's going to happen in the future.

These are fear-based places to live in.

Letting go of the concept of time is a game changer for you.

You learn that you can only truly access unconditional love in this present moment.

That means you have dropped all fear.

That fear cannot exist in this present moment.

Fear is never justified.

These are really,

Really fun things to play with.

There's a lot of stuff here.

But if you play this back and just jot down a few notes,

You'll certainly get the idea of what I'm saying.

And I'll repeat them as episodes come by.

But now,

Why are my opinions unpopular?

I just want to finish off with that idea.

Because humans are afraid of the unknown.

We really don't like change.

In case you haven't noticed,

We have been moved into the unknown more and more as we are progressing through life at the moment.

Every time we turn around,

Something else is happening that we didn't imagine could happen.

And this is why I'm saying this is all out of your control.

The externals are out of your control.

You cannot worry about anybody else.

My view is that living on the edge of the unknown and trusting that all in this moment is in perfect order is the only way to live your life going forward.

It is really time to take ownership of your state of being.

That's it.

You choose love or fear.

You stop casting blame on somebody else for how you feel.

Period.

When you embody the ideas that I'm sort of sharing with you,

You'll no longer make use of words such as victim,

Perpetrator,

Survivor,

Fault,

Should,

Must,

Right or wrong.

In your vocabulary,

These words just are words of expectation and judgment or obligation,

And they are of no use to you in a peaceful life.

If you write them down on a piece of paper,

You can just set fire to them in a safe place and just burn those words.

They don't belong to you anymore.

They do not belong to you.

There are no more shoulds and ought and rights and wrongs,

Victims,

Perpetrators,

Survivors,

Musts,

Ought.

Forget all that.

Now,

In the episodes that follow,

I'll give you some examples of the way I see things and how I apply these concepts into day-to-day life.

I am able to find peaceful solutions and my peaceful place very,

Very readily.

I cannot remind you enough that it is all energy.

It is all energy.

And when we start to see life from that way,

We understand that we cannot have ownership or power over things anymore.

We are part of the one.

If I'm feeling happy,

If I'm feeling uplifted,

So are you.

So now,

As I said before,

Take whatever resonates with you in these episodes and just leave the rest behind.

If there's something that sparks your interest,

Go explore it,

Go have fun.

That's what this whole life is about.

Everything is there for the exploration.

You are here to experience it all.

Thank you so much for listening and I'll see you in the next episode.
