0:44 Denzel Washington, welcome to Inspire Vision. Our sole purpose is to elevate the lives of others and to inspire you to do the same. Neil, welcome to the show. Oh, thank you so much. It's a pleasure to be here. Well, and I really appreciate it. You know, you you've You've done a lot of things in your life, and you've obviously written this incredible book, and you have an amazing story. I'd love for you to share the audience who you are and what brought about your writing this book, and you know, feel free to share some of those experiences. Absolutely so, D Neil Elliott. The d's just initial for my first name, too, different me on the author on the internet. So who am I? Well, I am like you.

1:33 I'm a spiritual being having a human experience, okay, and I agree with that. And but from a human perspective? Who am I? Professional engineer MBA? You know, manage projects in the corporate world for you know, over thirty years, small and large, you know, multimillions, and you know, a few hundred thousand and married twice, second marriage, you know, three kids combined, five grandchildren sixth one at the end of this month perhaps, and what else you know, I, like everybody else, got into kind of following the corporate world, and you know, you do what you have to do to be able to survive and navigate through this world.

2:23 And as we and as we do that, we you know, we kind of lose, we lose who we really are and we become this a traumatron almost, you know, kind of just trying to fit in and trying to work and trying to navigate our way through the world and lose sight of, you know, kind of things that perhaps we should be focused on bottom line. You know, got really depressed, suicidal, and then I had a spiritual awakening and it's just been this. So I was fifty seven fifty eight by the time that happened, and then I just had this beautiful upward journey since then, and life is good. And you know, it doesn't mean I don't have challenges. Of course, we always do as we navigate this, but you know, I just view the world so differently than I did it before.

3:21 Yeah, And you know, you talk about how and someone uses phrase once before, and I just kind of fell into it that we're really living a life as an impostor because we're not really living our life. We're living the life of our parents, of our school, of our religion, or our society. We're living everything that we think we should be rather than living who we truly are. Would you say that's a fair accurate statement. I say that's a fair accurate, fair and accurate statement. The only thing I would add to that is, you know, it's all designed to work this way for us to have those experiences to learn and grow and to learn and bring balance back. Uh, you know, balance and masculine and the feminine and you know, we have been subjucated to this uh you know uh society which has rules and structure, and we adopted those beliefs and we followed those beliefs, and look where it's gotten us, you know, globally individually. That's so true.

4:32 And you know, you talk about a very sensitive issue, and that is suicide. And I just had a nephew that that took his life, and I think and I think that it's something that you know, it's probably not the main topic we want to talk about today, but I'd love for you to share with the audience what feelings were you going through, where you were near that situation, and then let's talk about what brought you out of that. Yeah. Absolutely, you know. So I was working in the corporate world up until about two thousand and two, and then I went into business on my own and then became a consultant and very successful in that business. You know, my wife and I, you know, we choose from Germany.

5:20 We had great times traveling all those kinds of things. So when I wasn't working, you know, I was having a lot of fun and I love to go out and see things. But in reality, you know, being a project manager is really what it is. It's a stressful job. It's stress because you're worried about everything. You're trying to mitigate risk all the time, and you're trying to meet the needs of the client or your bosses if you're working in an organization and they have high expectations, and you feel if you don't do well, you know you're going to be reprimanded or let go or whatever it is, right, and so you know you're balancing this all the time, and you I believed I was doing okay, but really what was happening was I was getting really depressed. And I didn't share it with my wife and my family, and I just kept it to myself, didn't talk to anybody about it, and just you know, we wear this facade, we project whatever, you know, we want that helps us navigate the world. But inside, you know what you see and you see how somebody behaves is not necessarily how they really are, how they're really feeling. True, And so I was just totally like I got to a point where I no matter what I did, I couldn't get out of this depression. It feels like it felt like I was working to try and keep up with the joneses or get ahead of them, so I could show off, you know, and feel good about myself, you know, achieve a goal, and then after a while it gets mundane

6:52 and boring. So it so set another goal to achieve. Achieve that, you know, by the car, by the house, by the motorcycle, you know, those kinds of things, and looking externally for all of these things that would fulfill me, you know, that make me happy. And but really what I was doing was I was I was really detaching myself from who I really who we really are, and just getting more and more depressed. And finally I got to the point of, what's the point of all of this? No matter how hard I work, no matter how much money I make, I can't seem to get ahead. You know, I'm just I'm just part of that system. Can't seem to get ahead. You know, everybody, you know, the banks make a lot of money from me, you know, everybody else makes a lot of money. I'm working really hard, as slaving away, and I can't seem to get ahead.

7:45 And so I just got to this point of I'm done, you know, like I'm gonna you know, our house finally sold after being on the market for five years. I felt my wife would be okay because you know, my life insurance. I did it in the right way. Life insurance would pay out and she'd be fine financially and I could just exit without any harm to anybody. Now that's ridiculous now when I think about it, because of all the people that would be upset about that, But at the time that's how I felt. So yeah, it's just, you know, it's hard to describe, but just like totally done with life and what happened?

8:30 What brought you out of that situation? Well, the house sold and live in Canada, Western Coast, West Coast, Canada, and my wife got on a plane to We're in this little one bedroom mental apartment, you know, the house. We still had to move out and stuff. So about three months way till it actually closed, but we had this signed deal. My wife got on a plane to fly to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to visit family and friends. I sat down in this little one bedroom room kitchen table and my suicide crafted my suicide note. And about a week prior to that, some information came to me in this really fortuitous fashion, and it promised to liberate me from my thinking. If I studied it, then I followed it, and I thought, well, you know one last you know, they'll sliver of hope here. I'll give it a go. If it doesn't work, I can always I can always pull the trigger. And so I thought, okay, well I'll try this, and this is the information I share in my book. I share this whole story and then this information in the book. So if people want to know what information that is, you know, they get my book, they'll find out there's very lude to the story until you get to the information. And so I started studying it and following it. And part of the process is this meditation. And the meditation you learn to go beyond in the intellect, beyond all reasoning, and going

10:03 to the silence and stillness your mind. So there's a practice for doing that. There's a way to do it, and you have to know what your target is. And this information was so it was based in Newtonian science, and it bridged this gap between spirituality and science in a way which I had never read before. And what I did was I read it without judging it and with and if I came across something that I was reading that I kind of learned, and I don't know about that. I just put it aside and I thought about all the things that did make sense to me at the time, and so I just followed it. And it took about a month and a half or so to go through the material, maybe two months to go through the material. And I just kept cycling through that material as I was learning to practicing meditation, and at about the seven month mark, kind of building faith as I was going this was so logical and rational. I thought, okay, well, I'll just keep going on this and i'll try it.

11:06 You know, if it doesn't work in a year or two, I can always pull the trigger. And but the seven month park, I felt this little tingling at the top of my head. I didn't know what it was, felt really strange, never felt it before, but I thought, okay, well, you know whatever, I'll just keep going on this. And about the ninth month, that little tingling about the size of diamond grute, about four inches in diameter, and then it just kept growing. Like today, you put a bowl over my head and that opening is as you know, big as that below my ears. And what was happening was I was building new brain cells impressed with new knowledge, the under the top of the or at the top of the brain, underneath the skull, and they operated at a higher vibrational frequency which allowed whatever you want to call it, God or creator, source, prime, the universal, whatever you want to call it, make this connection. And then this energy would flow in through my head, and it might reside in my head or in my chest or my throat or my solar plexus. It would come into my body and go down one side of the body and up the other side of the body, or go down the whole body and the backup, or just sit in certain areas in the body. And I could feel all of this going on as I meditate, and I meditate ninety minutes every morning. First thing when I get up, I get coffee, I sit down, I listen to a little bit of material, and then I met it. And

12:39 then at the end of December, so that was beginning. This was November twenty seventeen. The end of December twenty eighteenth, I had two meditations two days apart. I went into this meditation and you know, kind of got settled and in it into the south and some stillness of the mind, and then all of a sudden, like in a flash, like in a nanosecond, I was just filled with unconditional love and totally like I was a deep sea diver suspended in an ocean of unconditioned It was just I felt non judged. I felt it didn't matter what I had done to anybody. I felt didn't matter what anybody had done to me. I just felt totally loved and supported.

13:25 And we don't have the human language to describe it, but you know, I was in that meditation and I just I wanted to stay there. I didn't care what aches and paints my body had, what illness has had, nothing. And so I came out of that meditation, and uh, two days later I had the exact same meditation, and yeah, it was just it was just beautiful. So I've just setting here, just want to make sure that the audio in the video is coming through. Okay, Oh everything's coming through. Okay, yeah, okay, perfect and anyway, So I came out of that, and then two days later I had the exact same meditation, and at that point I knew that what I experienced brings brought me back, and brings us back if we follow this kind of process, brings us back to our truth of who we really are. And then from that point forward, it's just been this all onward upward knowing.

14:34 You know, you get to a point where you know that what you know is true and then things just start to unfold and it's a learning process. It's an experiential process. Well it is, Yeah, it is. And I noticed you know you refer the book, but you don't really want to talk about it. That what I find, and I challenge my authors who I love to interview and such, to yourself to really talk about what's in the book and to give the give the audience just a sense of what's there, because what I find is if they get a sense of what's really in the book, and if they get a sense of what you really were doing, that actually will help them and you know, potentially instigate them to get the book and to read further and to really understand what you experience. I love how you talk about meditation. So how did you come across meditation and which meditation process did you come across?

15:32 Yeah? Absolutely, And I talk about what I meant, was this material that came to me? I share that in the book. I don't And the reason I don't tell people what it is. I can talk about it, but I don't tell them what it is because it's marketed in such a way most people would run from it. I certainly would have, but I was at such a depressed state that I was willing to read or look at anything. So that's the thing, right, But the book, yeah, absolutely, so the meditative states. So you know, in the in the late nineties and early two thousands, I, you know, tried various meditations. None of them really stuck. You know, Wayne Dyer had a CD of you know, twenty different types of medities and I tried them all out, and you know, they lower blood pressure and the lower anxiety, especially when you're in it. But there wasn't any any real experiential thing. But spiritual spirituality is not an intellectual thing.

16:32 It's an experiential thing. And so what I found out was by reading these materials, we we really need, or at least I needed. I needed to understand in a logical way why and how we are here and how the universe is created, and then how we become in this physical form, and then and what our purpose in life is. I needed to understand those elements. Then in this material, and you don't learn until you're near the end of this material how to really do it, because there's a bunch of information you need first before this meditation works in the effective way that it does. But essentially, what you're doing is you are going into a state of silence and stillness in the mind, and so all I can stop all my thoughts and if any thought comes in, I just let it flow past. I don't think on it, I don't dwell on I'm just in the state of stillness and silence, so I don't have I'm not listening to somebody give me a guided meditation.

17:37 What I want to do is what I want to do in this meditation, and what it's structured to do is get you beyond the human intellect, beyond your own imagination, because in the imaginative a realm of your mind, your ego may or may not be a dormant and typically when you go into meditation, if you are walked through a meditation, you are going further into the imaginative realms of whatever somebody is telling you to imagine. And our creator, you know, there's two states of creation. But the original cause, if you will, is in this silence and stillness and equilibrium, and it is these opposing impulses that were torn apart at the time of the Big Bang to create this active state of creation and the silence and illness of the universal as it were. Is these mutual impulses that are opposing that are locked in this embrace, and when they were torn apart, they were able to work independently but also jointly. And so it's this will to move out and create with the with the purpose to give

19:08 form to that creative consciousness plan and experience it. And we see it as electromagnetism. Essentially, you know this, it's this energy of creation that enables us to and we could describe this in quantum physics, we can describe it in Newtonian physics. There's different ways to describe it. But essentially, your thinking is a creative consi consciousness plan, and your feeling is magnetism. These impulses of drawing things together or pushing them apart, and your feelings what form to this creative consciousness plan. So the more you think about something, the more you dwell upon something. That is what you experience in your life. If you want to change that, you need to understand that what you think is right, wrong, good, bad, true, false is really just a belief. And then if it's just a belief, when you have the methodology to do it, you can actually go in and you can dismantle those beliefs and change them. And if you change those beliefs to be consistent from where we come from before we die and where we return to after we're dead. When we die, excuse me, before we're born, and then after we die, you invite the universal to come in and help you and start to cleanse your consciousness and then

20:40 rebuild it to be consistent with who we are. And I'd love for you to just kind of share with the audience. You know, you talk about where we were before we came here and where we go after we die, and you know there are very very many people with different religious beliefs or non religious beliefs about all of that. Based on your experience and your perception of what happened, what would you share with the audience as far as what your thoughts are about that? Good question. So I'm going to use human language to do this, and it's going to be kind of the shadow consciousness form. Okay, that's all right, so we'll call it in the beginning, although that's wrong, because all that exists is consciousness. Okay, consciousness, awareness, those are the only things that exist. They are inseparable. You can't have awareness without consciousness, and you can't if you were not aware, you would be like a statue, right, a blomb could go off and you wouldn't be So consciousness awareness are conjoined and never separated. And consciousness is all that exists.

21:55 And so you and this human body is really everything is consciousness made visible in this world that we live in. So this microphone is consciousness made visible. I am what consciousness made visible. You everything is, and from my perspective or yours, we can go either way. But I'm the only one in the room, so to speak. Everything that I experience is merely a reflection of my thinking and feeling. And if I change my thinking and feeling to be congruent with where we come from before we're born and where we return to after we die, what we do is we come back to the state of unconditional love and then we're here to experience. So what this form does allow for us that it allows us to experience all of those things that seem to be contrary to the light light dark. You can't experience light without knowing what dark is. You can experience eight without knowing what love is, et cetera. And so being in this body allows us to experience those things. And when we come to understand everything comes from love and it's just you know, we go from a low vibrational frequency of all of these things which are contrary to what we would consider to be loved, so hate, anger, judgment, all of those

23:25 things to this state of unconditional love. And beyond the unconditional love that a parent has for a child, it is absolutely just accepting and know that everything is now I'll call it God for this for the lack of a better term at this point. But everything comes from unconditional love. Everything comes from the light, from the love. And so even something that we don't like, that I experience, that I don't like or I judge, is my creation and it's and my goal here and our purpose here is really to learn that that's my creation. To experience what I feel, let that energy of you know, hate or anger, whatever just flow through me, but learn to love what I'm experiencing because it's part of my creation.

24:24 If I reject it, what I'm doing is setting myself up for a cycle for that to continue to come back because I'm rejecting part of my creation. Yeah. And I love the concept of that which we resist persists. Yeah. Man, that's exactly what you're saying. And so in your book you talk about seven steps to being able to really turn yourself around. So for people that are listening to find themselves in that moment of time where they are discouraged or depressed, they're just so frustrated with their lives, what are those seven steps that they could be at least aware of and maybe even do some more research on by getting your book that can help them. Do you mind sharing those.

25:09 No, No, not at all. So the first thing I had to do was and I have a chapter or a section in the book that describes us. There's some background material that I had to read. So one I had to learn and understand that everything that I thought. So this is before I get to the seven steps, but I'll just give you a quicker review of this. So before I could get to the point where what I believe to be right is right and what I believe to be wrong is wrong, I had to understand that those were just beliefs. So I read this book that helped me understand that even though I think it's right and wrong, it's really just a belief, and if I change my belief, I can do that. Next thing I read was a book on epigenetics that explained to me that what we think about and what we feel affects our biology. So if we're feeling ill and we're feeling sick er, we're having illnesses come to us, or we're in really good health, it's predominantly due to how we think and how we feel, So we can draw illnesses to us, or we can draw health to us.

26:16 Then I read a book on neuroplasticity, which helped me to understand that, you know, contrary to a belief back in the sixties that as we get older our brains you know, shrink and get atrophy, we can actually build new brain cells. So that was all a prelude. Then I read a near death experience of this step one. This is stretching your consciousness. I read a near death experience of a woman who suffered from an aggressive form of cancer for about six years, and she went from a weight of a normal body weight down to about ninety pounds seventy five to ninety pounds, and she couldn't lift her head anymore. She was bedridden, she was at home, had to be an oxygen to twenty four to seven needed twenty four. By seventh care, she fell into a coma.

27:04 She's riddled with cancer from her head to her waist, some tumors the size of lemons in her body, and she was fell into this coma. They rushed to the hospital. The admitting physicians told her family she wasn't going to make it through the night. And in that twenty four hour period after getting in the hospital, they did a bunch of tests and scans and stuff. She went through this near death experience and she came out of that and within two weeks they couldn't find a trace of cancer in her body, all medically documented, and they called it spontaneous remission. And she describes what she experienced in such a way that is neutral, it's free of any human on sets of religion or anything else. So she just described what she experienced. That gave me. That book gave me the permission for myself to commit suicide because I had this little nagging doubt, and what I learned from her was that we're not judged after death. I didn't necessarily understand at all, but it gave me all the concepts, and so it was something to hang on to.

28:22 So that's number one. So that will give you a new understanding, or the reader a new understanding of what consciousness is. Then in step two, I share this compendium of material that came to me that I utilized over the course of that year, and I share some of the what I call truth in this material as excerpts, so that the reader can see where it comes from, understand where it comes from, and then get a concept of how easy it is to understand. But the brilliance of the writing. Then step three is to sit down and write yourself a letter. I call it a reflection stuff.

29:08 And if you write yourself a letter that will never be shown to anybody else. It's only for you, and you really are honest with yourself about how you feel about the world and about your situation, and I mean really honest, don't hide anything. You write it down, then you put it in an envelope, you seal it, and if you follow this process, you open it a year later. Because it becomes a benchmark of the changes that will occur. And then step four is really this cleansing your consciousness. So it's going through this process of understanding how and how you're going to cleanse your consciousness, how you make connection with source that helps you go through and starts to change your beliefs in your consciousness. Step five is this process to rebuild your consciousness. So you're doing these simultaneously.

29:59 You're starting to cleanse, you're starting to rebuild, and this is an iterative process. It's not a one and done and uh. Step six, as I mentioned later in this companion material, you're going to learn this meditation. So in the in the material, it's going to ask you to meditate, and you just do the best you can to begin with and be patient to learn the material that you need to learn. And then it's going to teach you about it's going to give you a prayer to use before you go into this meditation, and it's gonna and you'll know what your target is at that point. So then you're going to go into this meditation. Now I give some some people some tips. Before I started this journey, I started to listen to audio books and for me, I'm, you know, visual learner, engineer. So it's like I can be easy. I'm distracted by shiny objects. I'm doing something shiny, let me go over there and do that. And so in order to slow my mind down and really be able to focus the outcome of having to listen to those audio books that I started this process on helped me to. I'd sit down in my chair as if I was going to read a book, I'd put on headphones, I'd close my eyes, and I just focus on listening to the speaking, to the word speaking. That taught me to train my mind to be able to stop my thinking.

31:30 So I didn't struggle with that process as much during this year as I would have if I hadn't done that process ahead of time. And that was just a fortuitous process. So you'll then you'll learn this meditation stuff. Stepsticks has learned this meditation and Step seven is kind of rinse and repeat. You're going to go back and you're just going to keep cycling through it. You're not going to continue to write yourself this letter because you've done it, but you're going to go back. You're going to listen to some material or read some of this material and you're going to meditate, and you're just going to continue to go through this process. And the key is it doesn't happen overnight. It's not a one and done.

32:10 You've got to put time, energy, and effort in it, and you have to be consistent. All right. So you talk a lot about meditation, and I love those seven steps, and obviously near the end is that meditation, and then they don't mean to jump through the rest of them. But as we talk about meditation, you're talking about how you're meditating ninety minutes morning each morning. Yeah, I guarantee you not many people could start meditation and do it for ninety minutes. So I have a few questions with that. Number one, how do you begin the process to continue number one? Number two, one of the things that you mentioned was the guided meditation that you kind of have avoided that guided meditation concept for whatever reason.

32:55 So I'd love for you to kind of share your thoughts of why you do that and what type of meditation are you actually doing? Three questions. Yeah, okay, So so you're right, you know, most people are not going to be able to do ninety minutes, and you don't have to I'm going to suggest to you you want to practice with at least starting with fifteen minutes and build up to whatever you're comfortable with over time. So it might be fifteen minutes, might be fifteen minutes always, you know, you might build up fifteen, twenty, thirty, forty hour, whatever it is, right. I So the first the thing that I do is I sorted out really early that meditating after I engaged my brain by talking to other people or being involved in work didn't work for me because my because I'm too active. So I decided, first thing I'm going to get up. I get up early, I relax, I have my go to the washroom, have a coffee, sit down, get into the mode by listening to some audio of this material, and then put in foamere plugs. Get relaxed in a chair like I use a reclining chair so that I relax my head, my face, my neck, via my entire body. I'm not using any muscles to keep me upright. And what that allows me to do is get into this relaxed state of almost like as simple as slipping into slumber, so to speak. Yeah,

34:30 and so you're in the SATA state. And then because I listen to these audiobooks, I could train my mind to understand that these thoughts that come to my brain are not necessarily originated from me. So I see them as a stream of thoughts that go by my awareness. And what we typically do is we pick a thought out of that stream. If it's consistent with way we're thinking, we keep it. If it's not, we throw it back. And so what I do is I don't pick any thoughts out of the stream. I just let them go through, and I just go into this state of silence and then the energy. Like today, the energy comes to me even before I started my meditation, But back then I would have to just get into this and get really relaxed, and then all of a sudden the energy would start to come might come in fast, might come in slowly.

35:23 That then kept me going, okay, So does that answer your first question? That is yes, okay. Second question was, oh I can't even remember? Oh yes, guided versus music versus no sound at all? Oh okay. So the reason I don't do the music is because then I start focusing on the music. Or if somebody speaking to me, they are typically directing me in terms of a thought process yes, and so I'm focused on that thought process. And as I said earlier, you know, when you're in your imagination, your ego may or may not be dormant. And what you want to do is you want to go beyond human intellect and reasoning, which means you want to keep your ego out of it.

36:15 And so by going into the silence and the stillness and just allowing those thoughts to go by without choosing any I sit in that space where I'll call it the universal that is in silence and stillness that emanates unconditional love to us twenty four seven. We don't feel it because our vibrational frequency is so low that it can't penetrate and make itself known to us. When we go into this state of silence and stillness, what we're doing and know what our target is. We are inviting that source energy to make itself known to us us and it takes a while to build these new brain cells impressed with this new knowledge that then operated this higher frequency. So those are the reasons I don't do guided meditations, all right.

37:13 And you talk about these frequencies, and you know everybody has a different You mentioned quantum field. You know, oftentimes we've heard about meditation. We hear about all of these things, and it's like it's a little woo woo, you know, a little bit out in left corner. But actually there's a lot of scientific backing now as far as the advantage of meditation and what it can do for you. Can you kind of share what your thoughts and what your knowledge is about the quantum field and this energy or these frequencies that are available for us to bring into ourselves if we're just able to do that and meditating it to do that.

37:56 Yeah, so there's different ways to describe this, but you know, essentially, when you so you look at an atom and then you get in as smaller and you get into these quirks and other things, you get to a place where we understand that, you know, string theory of quantum physics is that everything is just energy, and so we're just energy made visible through the drawing of particles together, uh, creation of atoms, molecules, you know, those kinds of things. And so if everything is just energy, you know, there has been scientific evidence now that when you think or you're observing something, you actually create essentially a molecule, a ball of energy. That draws part that draws particles together to create a molecule. And so you actually create the experience that you want through the bonding and the bringing of all these things together. Your thinking is consciousness. We are consciousness beings made visible. So everything is consciousness. And when you think of something, what you're doing is you're putting a consciousness plan together. When you feel, what you're doing is you're starting to draw this energy together to

39:26 create this experience that you're going to experience. So I give an example in my book in twenty eleven, so since I was twenty years old, well since I was a kid, my mom we used to go to these fairs, the Pacific National Exhibition, and it was every year they had a house in twelve cars they were given a way. So my mom used to buy tickets all the time to either win the house or the car. And when I was twenty nineteen eighty, I adopted buying these tickets. So I just religiously buy them. It supports the fair, gives me the opportunity to win. Siming. In twenty eleven, I thought, oh, I'd like, you know, a hard top Lexus convertible, and so I started to fantasize about that.

40:09 Every day for a year, I thought about what that owned, that car, top down, windy road, wind in my hair, and the joy I would feel about that car. And I had a picture of it on my wall. And I do that fifteen twenty times a day, sitting a chair just for three four minutes, you know, visualizing and doing that. I bought a ticket in the spring to this fair that had the draws in the fall, always hoping to win the house. I had a nice car. I was hoping to win the house. And I didn't even look at the cars. And in September, so about a year later, almost exactly a year later since I started this visualization process, I got a phone call one day and said p and E Pacific National Exhibition, p Anda, So I picked it up. I said hello, and they said, you know, blah blah blah. They asked who I was and verified that. Then they said you want a car and I said, really, Oh what kind of car? That?

41:05 I went and I said, they told me the model ones some Oh what kind of car is that? And I said it's a Lexus hard Talk convertible. It was the exact car I had in the picture. Wow, This is the way we create our reality every day and we don't even know it. Everything that you experience is due to your thinking and your feeling, the things you like, the things you don't like. So when you learn to dismantle your current thinking, your current beliefs, and bring it back to be congruent, you will learn to view the world in an entirely different way. So when I look at somebody else, I know that their soul is equal to my soul. Their soul is perfect, their soul is unconditional love, and anything that they are doing is nearly the things that they have come here to learn, to experience and to bring balance back. We are here to balance the masculine and the feminine, and you balance the feminine or the masculine by bringing balance through your feelings.

42:19 And when you learn to bring these feelings in, experience them for what they are, love them for what they are, what you're experiencing, but choose to think loving kind, unconditionally loving thoughts to everything and every experience and accept it as your creation. You start to bring balance back within yourself and harmony back within yourself, and you view the world no matter what's going on in the world right now, there's many horrific things. I don't get fussed or concerned about anything, because it's all to create this experience of us to bring this world into a new era of love and peace. There's going to be a lot of changes in the next ten years. There's going to be drastic changes in the next hundred and over this millennium, you know, we will this this world will come into the state of unconditional love and peace, and all of these things, all of these structural things we have in society about finances and people, that's all going to disappear.

43:26 It's going to be an entirely new way to live. It's going to be a way of love and peace and joy and abundance and everything that you want, everything that you need to be happy and joyous and peaceful and loving and kind will come to you without this struggle that we currently are in. Well, and what a beautiful, beautiful thing that's going to be. And as you say it, it really starts with the one, doesn't It starts with each one of us us seeking to become better, seeking to become who we truly are. And then obviously, as we give forth that energy and share that with others and they start to do the same thing as you say, maybe millennium, but ultimately we're going to get there. And I love that. How do people find your book number one? And go ahead and reframe what your book's name is, and then how do they find you?

44:27 So the book is called a Higher Road cleans your consciousness to transcend the ego and ascend spiritually, and it's a seven step process to interpeace, joy, love, abundance, and prosperity. It's sold globally wherever books are sold. The easy way to find it's on Amazon and it's by d as In Donald Neil Elliott. If you go to a Higher Road dot com, that'll take you to my author website, and you know it's there's many paths to the top of the mountain. This is one that made sense to me. It's logical, it's rational. I shared my personal experience of my life and I gave a memoir about the kinds of way I grew up in, the kinds of thinking that shaped my thinking and my feelings that then I reinforced and adopted over my lifetime that really bound down my soul and shut it off from the light and by cleansing your consciousness. What you do is you take these bondages off and you allow your soul to make this connection back, and then that starts to manifest in your outer world.

45:33 Oh and I love that. And you know, you said something I think so important. Everyone has a different path, but so often we try to do it on our own, when in fact, as you said, you read books, you did all the studying that really helped you to get to a point. It's the same with you writing this book. You're going to reach people who are going to identify and connect with your experience and it will make all the difference in the world to their lives. So kudos to you for writing the book, for being you know, so transparent as you're willing to share your life story and so forth. I think that's wonderful and I really appreciate you being on the show today.

46:16 Well, thank you, and I appreciate being here. And you know, my goal is to give people a way forward that gets them out of this cycle that we're currently in. And you know, and I say, look, you might have to read four or five or ten twenty books, and it might take a while, but one day you're going to find that path that makes sense to you. You know, we need something that works for the logic that we have. You know, you put one hundred people in a room, you deliver a message one way, it hits ten percent. You deliver the exact same information, but you do it a different way, it hits another ten percent, and so on, and so you know these many ways that are available to us. I can tell you this important piece is that when you find something that makes sense to you and work, stop looking without everything that is within, and learn to go within and learn to go through this process and then begin to trust, you will be given guidance.

47:18 You will be given instructions, and you have free will. You can choose to ignore it, you can choose to do it. But you will come to a place where you are given instructions and you will follow them with faith and understanding. Yet you don't know how it's going to work, but it will all work out for the best for you. Amen to that. Well, Thanks so much Neil for being on the show, and folks, thanks for listening. I hope you really enjoyed this and get a hold of this book. It sounds like it's something that could be a very great benefit for many of us that are experiencing different things in our lives.
