The First Episode

Mentality Folder, The No-Phone Experiment, and The Future

This one was a fun one! In this episode, we cover a variety of topics. Everything from creating/reviewing a Mindset Folder 3x/day to Tej running a 1 year no phone experiment to Project 2050 to the future of human consciousness to giving up coffee. In between, we crack jokes and explore our immediate experience on a moment by moment basis. Here's the 'Tyler D' passages/quotes Tej references in this podcast (pulled from the book 'American Cosmic'): * "There is evidence for this, that our DNA is a receptor and transmitter. We have to tune our physical bodies and DNA. Sleep/rest well. Low alcohol consumption. Zero coffee: Interferes with the signal. Plenty of sun. Plenty of water. I know I've established connection when the thoughts that show up in my mind don't seem like my own. With practice you can feel the difference." * "We are made as the "ethereal beings," existing beyond our dimensions of recognized reality. These higher beings are in communication with us, reading our thoughts and sending us messages through celestial symbols which most of us do not even perceive, much less understand. A genius is one who comprehends and channels these messages from higher beings into technologies, products, and even art." * "I basically believe, and there is evidence for this, that our DNA is a receptor and transmitter. It works at a certain frequency - the same frequency, in fact, that we use to communicate with our satellites in deep space. Humans are a type of satellite, in fact. So in order to receive the signals and to transmit the signals, we have to tune our physical bodies and DNA. Because of this, I make sure I sleep really well. I use the eight plus one rule. That is, I sleep for eight hours and then make myself go back to bed for an hour. That one hour, the top-off really makes or breaks my day. I rarely drink alcohol, as it interferes with sleep, and I never drink coffee. Coffee really messes up the signal. I also have to be in the sun. So I wake up, and the previous night I will have gone to bed a little dehydrated. Then, I get my extra hour of sleep and go out into the sun. While I bask in the light of vitamin D, I drink a tall glass of water, which flushes my cells and rehydrates them. This is better than coffee. It is at this point that I can usually feel the connection. I know I've established connection when the thoughts that show up in my mind don't seem like my own. They are unfamiliar. With practice you can feel the difference." * "Maybe, in order to make the right call, you have to be in tune with your environment, and tune your DNA to receive the signal, and then pay attention. Be on the look out for the confirmations, and then act on it." * "Researcher Grant Cameron writes about the download experience and suggests that creativity does not necessarily stem from a high IQ or special talent, but instead comes from the ability to tap into "nonlocal intelligence." * "We're starting to understand a little bit more about that state and it seems that when people are being creative in the moment that the part of their brain that has to do with their sense of self, self awareness, self consciousness is turned down."

Joe Dispenza Weeklong Retreat Recap

in this episode, we discuss Danny's experience at Dr. Joe Dispenza's retreat. We talked about Danny's profound experiences of healing, what it was like meditating with 1,800 people, and what he learned from the experience. We also spoke about the power of taking space/rest, getting into greater coherence, and the quality of earnestness.

Late Night Conversation

In this episode, we run a late night conversation (our first ever?) and catch Danny after completing Day 2 of Dr Joe Dispenza's retreat and Tej fresh off a Diamond Approach retreat.

The Permission Slip

In this episode, we discussed our friend Doug Cartwright's brain cancer, Tej's experience doing standup comedy, and how to use the permission slip in order to create the reality that you desire.

The Creative Process (And How We Came Up With This Name)

This is the second episode of the podcast. Danny's perspective after relistening: I laughed my ass off. There is so much light and depth in these conversations. We covered a whole host of topics that spontaneously arose: naming the podcast, what we really think about astrology, past lives, freedom, space, Byron Katie, what this life thing is all about, and much more. And importantly, we had so many laughs along the way. Episodes are best listened to in nature at 1x speed.
