0:51What is the best thing they can start doing to feel more emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically free just to allow possibilities in their life or intuition to come in or I should see the signs. Because there's been seasons in my life where I felt like everywhere I look, I'm getting signals and signs. And then other seasons where I don't feel like anything's coming to me. Yeah. And I think it's really worth saying that's completely normal. So even when I was like at the height of my manifesting powers, it would feel like for months, nothing would happen. And then it would be like everything's coming at the same time.

1:23And I always say, ask for what you want in that moment, because that's when you're manifesting. And you don't necessarily know whether it's the cycles of the moon or the seasons or your mindset or, you know, what it is, but just take advantage of it when it's working. And so in terms of that physicality, which I think a lot of us are cut off from, you know, there's a real disconnect between our minds and our bodies. The first thing I want to ask you all is, have you ever had a visceral reaction to something where you've received a piece of news and a shiver goes down your spine or you get goosebumps?

1:53So that's the start of learning the language that your body is speaking to you. And so, you know, I have this favourite thing, which I think you enjoy, which is when I don't know the answer from modern science, I go back to evolution. So our ancestors didn't have spare resources for anything that was just fun or a luxury. All the resources were for survival. So in that case, why did they dance, hum, drum, chant, make cave paintings? it must be because art and beauty is crucial to human survival. Interesting. And so we know that we were painting caves 40 ,000 years ago. But 10 and 20 ,000 years before that, we were making, in Southern Africa, they were carving ostrich eggshells and, you know, just for fun, for beauty.

2:48They were making necklaces out of shells and wearing them. They were using ochre crumbled from the ground to paint their faces and their bodies. And 500 ,000 years before that, we were making tools that were more beautiful and symmetrical than they had to be to complete the task that they were for. So it really goes to show that art and beauty and creativity and physicality and movement are very crucial ways that we've always operated. And since the world has modernized, we've kind of like forgotten those things. So it's not really anything new. It's just things, it's ancient wisdom that we really need to remember.

3:26Interesting. So I'm hearing you say that art, beauty, dance is designed for our survival. And it also is designed to heighten our experience, it sounds like, but we forget that sometimes. Yeah, because if you think about when we lived on the savannah, we had to access our instincts and our physicality to read the land. to read the weather. But the beauty of ancient wisdom is that a cloud formation could say rain is coming or it could be a pattern that you recognize as a message from your ancestors. And it's just such a beautiful way to live. Speaking of ancestors, do you believe it's possible for us to connect with our ancestors and have, like, they're with us?

4:09I know some people do, some people don't, but what's been the research and the science around the signs around either reincarnation or connecting with ancestors or people who have passed? What have you researched or personally experienced? I just want to say, because I have been teasing you about this for several years, I'm very impressed with your Spanish now. It's getting a little better. It really wasn't good for a long time. It still needs to get better, but it's getting better. Thank you. I'll take it. And I'm saying that because I want to ask you about your own wife's culture. I mean, Mexican Day of the Dead, need I say?

4:42Yeah, it's beautiful. But in the book, I've researched, you know, the major ancient civilizations, the Greeks, the Romans, the Mayans, the Aboriginal Australians, the Maoris. And in all of those cultures, there is ancestor worship, there is communication with ancestors. When I worked in Aboriginal Australia, I worked with Aboriginal liaison officers. And the very common bird in Darwin is the cockatoo, the white cockatoo. but he told me that when they see the much rarer black cockatoo they believe that's their ancestors in animal form um just letting them know that they're still around wow that's beautiful
