The Manifestation Of Fulfillment

Mark introduces the topic of manifestation and the power of the subconscious mind.  Then he brings up the wheel and attaches manifestation to health - mental health

Jim had introduced Dr James Doty having heard him on Lewis Howe’s podcast Mark reads from the show notes to give context to what the guys are about to discuss. Mark mentions the work he’s been doing and throws it to Jim

Jim mentions that he’s been reading and studying about manifestation for years. He talks about adversity and how it’s how you react to it that matters

Jim brings up the wheel and self awareness and lays out the 5 areas of life on our wheel

He references our past and then shares Dr Doty’s past traumas and how he overcame them. Doty mentions a billionaire he met who wasn’t happy in spite of his wealth. Your success doesn’t necessarily make you happy

Mark brings up what the podcast is all about. A forum for men to talk about things they don’t normally talk about

Mark says there’s an interesting balance between fortitude and sharing emotions

He discusses his current program and the picture of him as a 5 year old - see that kid. You are still that kid

Mark then goes into the past and Jim runs with it. We need to figure out how to process the trauma from our past in order to move on

Jim brings up our vibrational influence on the world and others

Mark tells his yoga/vibrational bowls - energy reading

Jim gives context to the vibrations we can put out. That can be good or bad

Jim says happiness should not be the goal. It should be fulfillment. The distinction between happiness, pleasure, joy, service, etc…

Mark says we misuse words like happy and crazy - what do they really mean

Jim shares another point Dr Doty spoke of. We can live in the past, present or future

The present is the goal

Jim shares his dyslexia story and how it shaped his aggressive behavior. He became self aware and has worked on it successfully

Mark shares his visualization practice and some successes that have come from it. Jim compliments Mark and gives him credit for his work and consistency

Jim goes deeper into how he uses manifestation as an inventor

He tells his patent story in the context of vibrations

Mark brings back up Jim’s past, present and future comment and gets into detail about how important processing trauma is - his anger at his ex-wife and his parents “scarcity” vibe as Depression kids

Mark mentions our sage and saboteur  The sage would see the great things that came from his divorce. He the talks about worrying about what might happen in the future and how 90% of the things he worried about never happen

Jim brings up his bitter or better concept. He sees a lot of people in pain, projecting that pain in to the world   The victim mentality and the negative vibrations that creates

Jim thinks we can help shift that pain to positivity.  Marl appreciates his ability to shift people in a better direction

Both guys agree that sometimes you hold people accountable to their negativity and sometimes you don’t. You gotta pick your spots

Jim brings up politics and suggests that talking about it without using names. Not personalizing political discussion. Positive progress can be made. Self awareness comes into play again and questions are great tools to keep discussions civil

Questions are disarming and make people think. Add positive energy and it’s magical

Great leaders create hope for the future vibrationally

Jim asks Mark to remember what moments he was able to vibrate out positivity and change the outcome of a situation

Mark brings up some sports memories and Jim jumps in

Mark shares his Sept 11 work story - how he dismissed his staff for the day and shifted the emotion in the room

Jim shares a story about his friends loss and then his rugby national championship story. He played against doctors orders and raised the energy of his whole team leading to a victory

Mark remembers a Larry Bird and Willis Reed story. Coming back into the game injured and how energy shifted for both teams

Momentum shifts in sports and how quickly they occur…and then it’s game over

Mark shares his takeaways - The past vs the present vs the future and how much influence we have at our disposal if we do the work (meditation, visualization, exercise…)

Jim says it’s all a choice. Negative or positive and the energy in the room
