Who’s In Charge, Anyway?

You may remember during Episode 49, David & Tommy talked about the inmates running the asylum, a situation that can occur when the ego-mind gets out of control and begins to believe it’s in charge. Well, this week, the Soul Talk Guys revisit those cute but oh-so-dangerous gremlins and help you find a path toward resuming command of your own life situation!

Why do you suppose we call them gremlins anyway? Well, it’s because each one of them is a different aspect of the ego-mind, and each one has its own unique personality. In some ways, these gremlins seem to be cute and cuddly and somewhat endearing, but when they don’t get their way, look out! That’s when real trouble happens!

Make no mistake: the ego-mind in all its variations certainly has a place in the overall picture for your life, but it’s pretty clear that the ego-mind was never intended to be a Commander-in-Chief. It’s just far too immature and short-sighted for that job. While the ego-mind is ideal for handling specific details of life and helping us to navigate our way through the physical world, it doesn’t really have the capability for big-picture thinking. We all need a much more powerful part of ourselves to manage that job.

And what part do you think we’re referring to here? Why, your Soul of course—that part of you that is connected to whatever you might imagine as your Higher Power, which has the big-picture of what your life is supposed to look like.

When you quiet the chatter of your ego-mind and connect in with that bigger part of yourself, you become aware of who you really are. And this leads you to realize that you are much, much bigger than you ever gave yourself credit for. In fact, your Soul knows just how boundless and amazing you really are, and will—if you listen very carefully—provide all the information you need to regain control of your life and begin following the path you always intended to follow.

Think if it as a crossroads:

• Do you want to be controlled by the gremlin aspects of your ego-mind, or
• Do you want to align with the real truth of who you are and live a life of complete fulfillment and satisfaction?

Let the Soul Talk Guys provide some guidance here! You already know the amazing wisdom and unconditional love they bring, so watch the video now and give yourself permission to get your fair share!

When things get out of control, it can seem like the crew has mutinied or the gremlins have stormed the control tower!

• Have you noticed that we all seem to believe that life is supposed to be a challenge and that we are supposed to struggle and suffer?
• Have you noticed how much stress and worry and misery we all seem to be living with?
• Have you ever wondered why this is so?
• Have you ever wondered what you can do about it?

Getting all caught up in the drama of your ego-mind can create all kinds of havoc, chaos, and confusion in your life. And this can lead to more undesirable consequences than you might care to admit! And the stress that accompanies the chaos can have lots of negative—and sometimes even devastating—effects on your well-being…as well as the well-being of your loved ones.

You know what it feels like—pick your favorite metaphor:

• A VW pulled up under the Big Top and unloaded 192 uncooperative clowns into my brain!
• The crew of my ship have all mutinied and locked me up in the brig!
• The gremlins have managed to shut down all services and have taken over the control room!
• The inmates have revolted, demolished the security system, and are now running the asylum!

So how does this happen? Why do we all have our own version of one of these chaotic metaphors? Mainly, it’s because we haven’t been taught how to tame the rogue elephant brain. We didn’t learn this—in school or anywhere else—because our parents didn’t learn if from their parents…whose parents didn’t know either! But, guess what? It’s not all that difficult to regain control of all the crazy thoughts in your head and the confused emotions in your heart.

It’s just a question of learning a new skill.

Are you ready to try?

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired; if you are ready to take control of your life, once and for all; well, then this episode of Life Mastery TV might just be the one that will help you change everything. For good and forever!

As the “Holiday Season” approaches, are you filled with joy or overcome with stress? We had invited a surprise guest to provide a different perspective, but unfortunately he was unable to attend.

What happens for you as the holidays approach?

• Do you jump for joy at the prospect of creating and sharing a wonderful occasion for yourself and your family, complete with all the gifts and trimmings?
• Do you find yourself feeling tight, compressed, and full of dread about all the things you imagine you “have to do” as part of your “holiday celebration”?
• Or do you find yourself somewhere between these two extremes, excited about the holidays, but stressed out about the toll it’s going to take?

The holidays can be a stressful time for people, for all kinds of different reasons.

• Maybe you’re concerned about making space in your calendar for all the people you “have to” meet.
• Maybe you don’t like the idea of writing out 10, 50, 100, or even 500 cards to everyone on your list.
• Maybe you are fed up trying to find special gifts for all the people you are “supposed to” buy for.
• Maybe you just don’t want one more cup of mulled wine, or one more piece of Christmas cake.

So, how do we deal with this stress and still show up to be present for all the people that matter to us? Well, that’s what this week’s episode is all about. David & Tommy welcome a special “Mystery Guest” (rumor has it that he has some kind of association with the north pole…) to help find answers to some of these questions.

Society constantly challenges us to buy, consume, collect & acquire “more”. It’s debilitating and stressful. This week, find out how break the cycle.

A few weeks ago, during our special “Life Matters Free-For-All” episode, we fielded quite a few questions from viewers. Well, one of the questions that we didn’t actually address had to do with the challenge of Keeping up with the Joneses. You know, the consumerist mantra of “More, More, More!”

Well, the person who posed that question, Frances, was actually pointing out how debilitating and stressful the whole “get more stuff” attitude can be, and she asked about how to break the cycle.

We figured this was a pretty great question, and something that was worthy of a whole show. So, check out our in-depth view into the stuff-hungry world of Keeping up with the Joneses. Learn more about the Grand Illusion that seeps into every part of our life. Join us as we pull back the covers and expose the tricks and traps that suck us into the vicious cycle of “buy more, get more, never enough”.

As always, you can count on us to keep it light. After all, that’s what this Life Mastery TV is all about! Right?

Sometimes, you just gotta laugh, and this week’s guest, comedian Dickey Bill Wagner, will put some funny in your bones.

If you’ve been following our show with any regularity, you’ll remember that we had an episode a few weeks back called “Go Out and Play!” Well, this week, we invited a special guest, Dickey Bill Wagner, to take it to the next level and to bring some joy and laughter into your life.

Dickey Bill is a professional comedian, actor and producer from the Denver area in Colorado. Like so many gifted comedians, he has a keen power of observation, and he knows how to bring his own quirky perspective to everything.

So, why would we invite a comedian to our show? Well, for a number of reasons:

• Comedy is a great stress reliever, and humor is one of the best medicines in the universe.
• Comedians know how to have fun, and have a gift of seeing the humor in everything.
• This helps us all to reduce the drama in our lives and to take ourselves a little less seriously…
• Which means we get to keep things in perspective, and

LIGHTEN UP!

…in more ways than one!
