In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David is joined by Tya Academy coach Derek Johnson for an open, grounded conversation comparing Tya and Scientology — without judgment, fear, or agenda.
This is not a pro or anti episode. It’s an exploration.
Together, they examine:
- Why Tya is often compared to Scientology
- The real similarities between detuning and auditing
- The critical differences around Source, authority, and inner guidance
- How ego, hierarchy, and control can creep into spiritual systems
- Why Tya was designed as an evolving operating system for life, not a religion
- What happens when people leave rigid belief systems without a replacement structure
- The role of appreciation in dissolving judgment and raising vibration
Derek brings both a scientific background and personal experience exploring Scientology, offering a rare, nuanced perspective on how spiritual systems function, evolve, and sometimes fracture.
This episode is for anyone who:
- Has questioned religion, spirituality, or “spiritual organizations”
- Wants real inner freedom without external authority
- Is curious about how conscious creation actually works in daily life
- Feels disillusioned with traditional belief systems but knows there’s more
Tya isn’t here to replace anything.
It’s here to help you remember what’s already within you.

The Tya Podcast,
(00:00:03):
discover the daily practice that makes spirituality actually work,
(00:00:07):
going beyond law of attraction to turn struggle into prosperity and success into
(00:00:12):
real happiness.
(00:00:14):
Tya is an advanced operating system for life, and you're about to learn it right now.
(00:00:20):
We are going to talk about Tya versus Scientology.
(00:00:26):
And the first thing I want to get out of the way is this is not pro or anti
(00:00:32):
Scientology or anything else.
(00:00:34):
Tya is not pro or anti anything.
(00:00:36):
You will never hear me say that something shouldn't exist or shouldn't be.
(00:00:40):
That's the core of Tya is appreciation of all things.
(00:00:43):
So if we practice appreciation of all things, that means we find appreciation for all things.
(00:00:49):
And I will even get in this episode,
(00:00:51):
of how I found deeper appreciation for Scientology.
(00:00:54):
So before we dive into it, this isn't about bashing Scientology or promoting Scientology.
(00:00:59):
It's not even about promoting Tya.
(00:01:01):
I would much rather share Tya and let people figure out for themselves whether
(00:01:04):
this is for them or not.
(00:01:06):
But I have a guest that I hope is a more frequent guest in the future.
(00:01:10):
He's been on in the past.
(00:01:12):
Derek Johnson is one of our Tya Academy coaches.
(00:01:14):
He specializes in appreciation.
(00:01:17):
He also has a scientific background.
(00:01:18):
He has a degree in physics and works in more of a computer science mode these days.
(00:01:24):
But he brings the science flavor.
(00:01:26):
We talk about Tya being metaphysics, psychology, and science combined these days.
(00:01:36):
We lean on Derek to be our stress test for the scientific edge of Tya.
(00:01:43):
So welcome.
(00:01:44):
Okay.
(00:01:46):
Thank you, David.
(00:01:47):
Was that description accurate?
(00:01:48):
Did I get everything?
(00:01:49):
Yeah, I do my best, but you know.
(00:01:52):
Well, I didn't call you a physicist.
(00:01:54):
Okay.
(00:01:55):
Although you have an education in it.
(00:01:57):
I do.
(00:01:57):
And I have friends who are physicists because they went further with it.
(00:02:01):
But, you know, life took me in a different direction.
(00:02:05):
Well, you can study physics without a formal education, period.
(00:02:12):
Again, I don't think there's anything wrong with formal education.
(00:02:14):
I did not follow that route.
(00:02:15):
I am self-taught in every facet or everything you can imagine.
(00:02:19):
But not only do you have this scientific, and this is probably what drew you to this, right?
(00:02:24):
You actually dabbled in Scientology a little bit.
(00:02:29):
Would you say dabbled in is the way to say that?
(00:02:32):
I explored it.
(00:02:34):
I explored it.
(00:02:34):
I think, uh, I explored it and I was very interested.
(00:02:38):
And to be honest with you,
(00:02:40):
if,
(00:02:42):
if I could have afforded it,
(00:02:44):
I would have,
(00:02:45):
I would have,
(00:02:46):
uh,
(00:02:46):
jumped right into it actually at the time.
(00:02:50):
And,
(00:02:50):
uh,
(00:02:50):
I think I mentioned it to you before,
(00:02:52):
when I went through,
(00:02:52):
while I was a college student,
(00:02:54):
I went through this,
(00:02:55):
this period where I kind of had a,
(00:02:58):
a crisis of belief,
(00:03:00):
you know,
(00:03:00):
I wasn't sure what was real anymore.
(00:03:03):
Whether or not I believed in a God,
(00:03:07):
it was kind of a crisis where up until that point,
(00:03:12):
all of my belief had been in science at that point.
(00:03:16):
So you weren't raised in a religion?
(00:03:19):
No, no.
(00:03:20):
My grandparents were Baptists,
(00:03:21):
but my mother and father weren't really actively attending church or anything like
(00:03:28):
that.
(00:03:28):
And it wasn't pushed on me.
(00:03:30):
So I was free to go if I wanted to, but I didn't need to go.
(00:03:34):
I did go to Catholic high school.
(00:03:35):
So I got some of the teaching and programmings around that there.
(00:03:41):
But I never really attended church other than with my grandmother.
(00:03:50):
And I had a lot of questions and problems with it, things that didn't make sense to me.
(00:03:56):
And so I just kind of decided that
(00:03:59):
I had more trust in science because it was what we could observe,
(00:04:02):
what we could test,
(00:04:03):
what was proven or what I thought was proven at the time.
(00:04:07):
And I just felt more comfortable.
(00:04:08):
I felt safer with it.
(00:04:11):
And later,
(00:04:12):
after I went through this crisis while I was in college,
(00:04:16):
then I started thinking,
(00:04:17):
well,
(00:04:17):
there's definitely a lot more out there beyond what science is ready to acknowledge
(00:04:22):
at this point.
(00:04:24):
And I had to make a decision.
(00:04:26):
Okay.
(00:04:27):
Am I going to
(00:04:29):
live my life strictly following science and ignore these other things that are
(00:04:33):
presenting themselves and close my mind to them?
(00:04:36):
Or is it more important for me to have what's real and what's true?
(00:04:41):
And which may mean that I'll need to go beyond what science is ready to acknowledge
(00:04:46):
at this point in time.
(00:04:47):
And I decided to do the latter.
(00:04:49):
And one of the things was is that I was really panicked at that time because I
(00:04:54):
didn't know if religion was or God was real or not.
(00:04:59):
And then I had a couple of strange experiences happen.
(00:05:01):
And then I thought, well, wait a minute, maybe I need to sort this thing out.
(00:05:04):
And then if I do need to sort it out, which religion is the correct religion?
(00:05:08):
Well, I don't know.
(00:05:09):
So now I have to explore them.
(00:05:12):
And then I started exploring and studying different religions.
(00:05:15):
And Scientology was one of the things I explored while I was a student.
(00:05:20):
And, uh, and that was it.
(00:05:22):
And it was really, and I do appreciate it.
(00:05:25):
Like I'm not talking about, you know, all of the, uh,
(00:05:29):
all the stuff around the,
(00:05:31):
the politics or the,
(00:05:32):
the hierarchical structure there that,
(00:05:35):
that,
(00:05:36):
you know,
(00:05:36):
people have left the church for and things like that.
(00:05:39):
Those,
(00:05:40):
the abusive practices that have been,
(00:05:42):
there are rumors about,
(00:05:43):
or people have written books about.
(00:05:45):
I don't know anything about that.
(00:05:46):
I was strictly exploring like what, what was kind of the philosophy behind it?
(00:05:51):
How does it work?
(00:05:53):
And what are the benefits?
(00:05:56):
And it,
(00:05:58):
it was a nice angle because L. Ron Hubbard was also a science fiction writer.
(00:06:06):
And so he had written things, and then he had come up with these practices.
(00:06:14):
And I wasn't deep enough into it to actually understand if what he was writing
(00:06:19):
about was a way for him to cloak his
(00:06:27):
his beliefs in a way that could be acceptable by society don't forget this this
(00:06:31):
happened back in the 50s 60s 70s and so back then people weren't as open-minded and
(00:06:40):
as embracing uh metaphysics and uh spirituality outside of the standard you know
(00:06:47):
standard religion at that time so i could see why if you wanted to put uh teachings
(00:06:53):
out
(00:06:55):
related to things like extraterrestrials or things like that,
(00:06:58):
then it might be a good idea to,
(00:07:01):
you know,
(00:07:03):
say it's science fiction.
(00:07:05):
And in that way, people will leave you alone because it's fiction.
(00:07:09):
You know,
(00:07:09):
whereas if you were trying to put those ideas forward and say,
(00:07:12):
this is the reality,
(00:07:13):
this is the way it really is,
(00:07:14):
people would just call you a kook,
(00:07:16):
because it was too far of a stretch or too far of a jump from what they've already
(00:07:22):
uh, been conditioned to believe or, or used to believing.
(00:07:26):
So,
(00:07:26):
and whereas I think nowadays,
(00:07:28):
like we have,
(00:07:29):
uh,
(00:07:30):
like the Gaia channel and the,
(00:07:32):
um,
(00:07:32):
ancient,
(00:07:34):
uh,
(00:07:34):
what is it?
(00:07:34):
Ancient aliens,
(00:07:35):
or we have like TV programs that explore like evidence of,
(00:07:39):
uh,
(00:07:41):
uh,
(00:07:42):
evidence of advanced technologies that,
(00:07:44):
that predate,
(00:07:46):
you know,
(00:07:46):
modern civilization.
(00:07:47):
And a lot of those technologies we can't reproduce.
(00:07:51):
And so today,
(00:07:52):
even with our tech,
(00:07:53):
so people start to stretch their minds a bit that people may start to entertain the
(00:07:58):
idea that there could have been extraterrestrial involvement in human history on
(00:08:04):
Earth before modern times.
(00:08:06):
You know what I mean?
(00:08:07):
So people have a little bit more open mind, a little bit more open minded these days.
(00:08:11):
But I think what actually blocked me from exploring Scientology at the time was is that
(00:08:19):
They have this process called auditing.
(00:08:21):
And I don't know if I'm jumping ahead too much too quickly.
(00:08:25):
No, go ahead.
(00:08:26):
I think the auditing thing is, you know, it's a cornerstone.
(00:08:29):
It's key to it.
(00:08:29):
Let's kind of talk about that a little bit.
(00:08:32):
I think basically,
(00:08:33):
and I'm not a Scientologist,
(00:08:36):
but I think basically how it works is the idea is that humans are ultimately divine
(00:08:42):
beings and we can't,
(00:08:46):
see or realize our divinity because it's been overlaid with layers of conditioning
(00:08:54):
or trauma or other things.
(00:08:56):
And Scientology has its own specific jargon or terminology for these types of things.
(00:09:04):
I think they call them engrams or imprints or things like that.
(00:09:08):
But we have these things that restrict us from making
(00:09:14):
being fully aware and making free conscious choice moment to moment because we jump
(00:09:21):
into repetitive reactive patterns from this previous conditioning or limited
(00:09:27):
beliefs.
(00:09:27):
And so they have these processes or exercises that they practice to help you learn
(00:09:35):
to free yourself from those structures.
(00:09:38):
And they have a process where you can clear away
(00:09:42):
some of this past stuff by working with another person who's called an auditor.
(00:09:47):
And they use a biofeedback device that helps clarify where you're blocked.
(00:09:54):
And then you work through these processes with an auditor to clear these blocks.
(00:10:01):
And there are levels of clearing and different things that you clear.
(00:10:06):
And the clearer you become, the more of your
(00:10:10):
uh,
(00:10:11):
natural divinity or,
(00:10:12):
or whereas in Tya,
(00:10:14):
we would say the more access to,
(00:10:17):
to source consciousness you gain or more up the spiral you would go.
(00:10:21):
And so things become clear to you.
(00:10:23):
So from my understanding,
(00:10:24):
there's not a lot of teaching in Scientology about religion or what to believe.
(00:10:30):
The real focus is on these,
(00:10:31):
uh,
(00:10:32):
clearing practices,
(00:10:33):
because as you do these,
(00:10:35):
your direct experience will be,
(00:10:37):
you know,
(00:10:38):
what teaches you.
(00:10:40):
Well, you are our appreciation.
(00:10:43):
If you're new to this podcast, Tya runs on a foundation of four pillars that never change.
(00:10:50):
Everything else is always evolving and getting better and evolving with time.
(00:10:54):
And that's an element of Tya that I think can be somewhat unique compared to other things.
(00:10:58):
But appreciation, source, polarity, and intention are our four pillars.
(00:11:03):
And those have been stress-tested
(00:11:05):
For eight years,
(00:11:06):
not a long time in comparison to most of the things that are out there,
(00:11:09):
but for eight years,
(00:11:10):
we have stress tested those things and those four pillars have held up and they
(00:11:14):
were created in my imagination of what's going to work a thousand years from now
(00:11:21):
and what would have worked a thousand years ago and beyond that.
(00:11:25):
Because my intention with Tya is to create something that is useful in modern day life,
(00:11:34):
And something that could continue to evolve because technology continues to evolve.
(00:11:39):
Our world continues to evolve.
(00:11:41):
And a lot of these ancient practices...
(00:11:45):
get changed over time in a way that is more of an ego driven preference influence
(00:11:52):
being added on to them.
(00:11:54):
And I don't want that to happen to Tya.
(00:11:56):
So the four pillars, that's all Tya is.
(00:11:59):
So one of the reasons I want to have this podcast is because we do get compared to
(00:12:03):
Scientology and
(00:12:05):
And before you run away screaming in fear of your judgmental of Scientology,
(00:12:11):
there's a lot of ways that we're not like Scientology.
(00:12:13):
We'll be very clear about that in this episode.
(00:12:17):
But usually I hear it at what I call the surface level.
(00:12:21):
We don't do a lot of social media posting.
(00:12:23):
Every time I start doing social media posting, I think, why am I doing this?
(00:12:27):
The serious people out there are finding us on a podcast or reading the book or
(00:12:31):
doing something like that.
(00:12:32):
I don't need to put memes out and little one-minute videos and things like that.
(00:12:36):
I've done it, but I don't like to do a whole lot of it.
(00:12:39):
And what we get there are comments from people who are just sampling what's there
(00:12:43):
and responding,
(00:12:44):
which I understand.
(00:12:46):
And so,
(00:12:46):
you know,
(00:12:47):
one of the common comments,
(00:12:48):
this sounds like Scientology,
(00:12:49):
especially when we talk about detuning.
(00:12:52):
Because detuning sounds a lot like auditing.
(00:12:54):
Because we are detuning our transgressors in Tya,
(00:12:58):
meaning any person,
(00:13:00):
circumstance,
(00:13:01):
or event that we do not view in authentic appreciation is something that we want to
(00:13:06):
detune.
(00:13:08):
And what happens when we do this detuning is, yes, our general vibration rises.
(00:13:13):
We have more source and less ego flowing.
(00:13:16):
Life gets better.
(00:13:18):
And the whole reason I created this is because I wanted to learn to quote unquote manifest.
(00:13:23):
Why can't I manifest in this area when I can manifest in these other areas?
(00:13:27):
I've been a student of what people call the law of attraction.
(00:13:30):
I call it conscious creation since I was 14, really before that.
(00:13:33):
I remember one of my first memories at age six,
(00:13:36):
knowing that I could have something that my parents told me I would never be able
(00:13:40):
to have.
(00:13:40):
It was a car.
(00:13:41):
But I remember that moment where something in me said, don't listen to them.
(00:13:45):
You can have anything you want.
(00:13:46):
That was there then.
(00:13:47):
Now we call that the stream because I continue to lean in and listen to that
(00:13:51):
throughout a lifetime.
(00:13:52):
But I created the practice originally to remove what we call the abundance blocks.
(00:13:58):
And of course,
(00:13:58):
it just morphed into so many of the areas that really the practice now is intended
(00:14:05):
to improve every area of your life with continued practice.
(00:14:08):
So, yes, we do detuning.
(00:14:11):
We don't hook anyone up to a machine.
(00:14:13):
You don't have to necessarily.
(00:14:14):
This is something you do that's actually very personal.
(00:14:17):
We guide you.
(00:14:18):
And Derek is our coach that helps guide this.
(00:14:22):
And the guidance,
(00:14:24):
though,
(00:14:25):
is all about helping someone uncover what they may not be acknowledging or even
(00:14:30):
aware of.
(00:14:31):
So that's different than auditing.
(00:14:33):
And we're not using machinery.
(00:14:35):
Tya is about not using anything external whatsoever.
(00:14:37):
It's all inner work.
(00:14:40):
So how do you,
(00:14:41):
am I comparing that accurately in your view since you have more information about
(00:14:45):
both of these things?
(00:14:48):
These two practices.
(00:14:51):
I think, yeah, detuning would be the Taya equivalent of clearing.
(00:15:01):
uh clearing but it's it's it's really in involved in in scientology and that's the
(00:15:08):
bulk of of what's being done there whereas and then also there the focus is on you
(00:15:17):
have to do this you have to clear and the way it's structured is as you get to
(00:15:23):
different levels you gain access to different clearing processes and practices so
(00:15:29):
You won't know.
(00:15:30):
So someone external to you is controlling basically your growth pattern.
(00:15:36):
And Tya has other elements to it.
(00:15:41):
Like our clearing is quite simple.
(00:15:43):
We're appreciating.
(00:15:45):
We're mining things for the benefit.
(00:15:49):
And we're raising our vibration.
(00:15:51):
We're firewalking.
(00:15:52):
We're doing other things.
(00:15:54):
So our clearing is kind of simple.
(00:15:57):
organic and source assisted.
(00:15:59):
And I think that's a huge difference.
(00:16:02):
One major difference between Scientology and Taya is that source is a pillar in Taya.
(00:16:12):
As you move up the vibrational spiral,
(00:16:16):
you gain more access to this stream of source consciousness within you,
(00:16:22):
which helps guide you to the next thing that you need to clear when you're ready
(00:16:25):
for it.
(00:16:27):
As you grow stronger, more layers come up for you to clear.
(00:16:30):
So it's a very organic, I think, source-driven process as you do the work in Taya.
(00:16:39):
And that source is internal, not external to you.
(00:16:44):
Right.
(00:16:44):
That's why we don't really need anything external from us.
(00:16:46):
It all exists in us.
(00:16:48):
Tya really just helps you discover what's already there and has always been there.
(00:16:51):
And access it.
(00:16:52):
Yeah.
(00:16:52):
And access it.
(00:16:53):
And really, and one of the things...
(00:16:56):
So we are different in that way.
(00:16:59):
I will come back around.
(00:17:00):
There's one thing I want to mention, though.
(00:17:01):
You mentioned the term firewalking.
(00:17:02):
And just for everyone that's listening out there, we're not talking about walking on hot coals.
(00:17:06):
I'll leave that to Tony Robbins.
(00:17:07):
He does it.
(00:17:08):
Be careful.
(00:17:08):
I don't know if they still do that or not, but that's a Tony Robbins thing.
(00:17:12):
Our firewalking is something we do at the academy level.
(00:17:14):
There's things that we do at the academy level that would be irresponsible for us
(00:17:18):
to tell someone to do at the book level or the
(00:17:21):
it's okay i don't mind mentioning it but it's not something i would say oh go try
(00:17:25):
this because we don't know you we don't know what's going on with you and it would
(00:17:28):
be very irresponsible for us so firewalking is a is a higher level of detuning that
(00:17:33):
we do but i won't go any further into that so it's good that you mentioned it it
(00:17:37):
brought it out but i just want everybody to know that it's not walking on hot coals
(00:17:41):
which you know it's kind of i've never done it i've known people that have done it
(00:17:44):
they say it's a really cool experience so
(00:17:48):
The similarities, because anytime I find something that I'm judging from,
(00:17:55):
any way i want to detune it well how how do we detune it we appreciate it well what
(00:18:00):
do we mean by appreciate it we don't mean saying that something that we think is
(00:18:04):
horrible is suddenly just great it's instead of rushing to judgment because
(00:18:09):
judgment often sends energy it spikes energy when you're judging something it
(00:18:15):
should not be you feel that energy spike when you're triggered by something
(00:18:18):
especially and
(00:18:20):
you feel an energy spike.
(00:18:21):
So now what are you doing?
(00:18:22):
If you believe in conscious creation,
(00:18:24):
and Taya is all about that,
(00:18:26):
you are now activating the energy of exactly what you don't want,
(00:18:30):
what's triggering you in your life.
(00:18:34):
And if you believe that we're a collective consciousness,
(00:18:37):
you are actually feeding exactly what you don't want.
(00:18:39):
And if you want proof of this,
(00:18:42):
Look at the elements, and I say this all the time, I'll say it again.
(00:18:45):
Look at the things going on in society that a lot of people say shouldn't exist.
(00:18:51):
You can have a whole list of them and look at how they grow in intensity.
(00:18:55):
The more we focus on them and judge them and they don't get solved.
(00:18:59):
There's a lot of things that don't get solved because we want to demonize it and we
(00:19:02):
stop at the demonization.
(00:19:04):
They begin to get solved when we tire of the demonization and we move into,
(00:19:09):
okay,
(00:19:09):
why is this happening?
(00:19:10):
What's the origin of this?
(00:19:12):
How can we be more preventative around this instead of just saying that person's
(00:19:16):
evil and terrible and must be stopped or they're demonic or,
(00:19:19):
you know,
(00:19:19):
there's just not a lot of,
(00:19:21):
solving energy there when you're just demonizing something.
(00:19:25):
So when we say appreciation,
(00:19:26):
instead of rushing to judge something as this shouldn't exist,
(00:19:30):
especially when it already is or was,
(00:19:32):
why don't we reframe it in such a way that I want to understand this on a deeper
(00:19:36):
level.
(00:19:37):
And we do this automatically.
(00:19:41):
Think of the things in your life that you once demonized that ended up being a
(00:19:46):
blessing in disguise or a big turning point or turned you in a direction that ended
(00:19:50):
up being good.
(00:19:52):
And what happens?
(00:19:52):
That thing that you were judging at one time completely changes energetically to
(00:19:58):
something that was a gift,
(00:19:59):
the silver lining,
(00:20:00):
if you will.
(00:20:01):
So with Taya, we're doing that with detuning.
(00:20:04):
And that's what Derek's coaching is really centered on is that appreciation piece.
(00:20:10):
And that's what detuning is.
(00:20:11):
And the more you do that, the more you are detuning your ego, which is all about preference.
(00:20:16):
But when it's really activated, it can be about judgment.
(00:20:19):
And when you detune your ego, more of your source being automatically becomes realized.
(00:20:24):
So that's the core of Tya right there.
(00:20:27):
That's what the four pillars are all about.
(00:20:32):
As far as similarities to Scientology, my detuning of Scientology was to first not judge it.
(00:20:42):
The celebrities that I'm aware, I don't know a lot about Scientology.
(00:20:44):
I know there's some well-known celebrities that are really into it that seem to be
(00:20:48):
very successful at what they do.
(00:20:50):
There are some others that have left that have said a lot of negative things about it.
(00:20:55):
I have no reason not to believe them.
(00:20:57):
All of it is possible.
(00:21:03):
It is really a closed door, kind of a gated thing, right?
(00:21:06):
You've got to get on the other side of the gate to really learn it.
(00:21:10):
Even once you're in it,
(00:21:12):
the upper levels are also,
(00:21:16):
you know,
(00:21:16):
closed doors to people at the lower levels.
(00:21:19):
Secret society type of, yeah.
(00:21:21):
So we...
(00:21:24):
We were just talking about this the other day.
(00:21:26):
And the interesting thing was,
(00:21:27):
is that the moment I got off the meeting,
(00:21:30):
it was a group meeting,
(00:21:31):
a Tya Academy group meeting that we were on and we were talking about Scientology.
(00:21:35):
We rarely do.
(00:21:37):
And if ever, I don't think we've ever talked about it before.
(00:21:39):
And I get off of that meeting and I look at my email and I have one email address
(00:21:44):
where everybody hits me up for being a guest on this podcast.
(00:21:46):
We don't do that.
(00:21:47):
Everybody on the podcast is talking about Tya.
(00:21:49):
I don't accept outside guests at all, but I still get hit up a couple of times a day.
(00:21:53):
And so the first one,
(00:21:56):
I saw it in that,
(00:21:57):
uh,
(00:21:57):
I don't even open the emails,
(00:21:58):
but you know,
(00:21:58):
that little sentence they give you as,
(00:22:00):
you know,
(00:22:00):
the previous sentence I saw,
(00:22:02):
uh,
(00:22:02):
like prominent Dianetics,
(00:22:04):
uh,
(00:22:05):
expert wants to be on your podcast.
(00:22:06):
I thought I've never seen the word Dianetics in my email feed before.
(00:22:10):
And here I'm seeing it right after this conversation.
(00:22:13):
Maybe there's something there.
(00:22:15):
And I had already thought that I wanted to do this.
(00:22:17):
In fact,
(00:22:18):
I already think I had this on the calendar and you chose it because you had a
(00:22:21):
little bit of knowledge about this.
(00:22:23):
What an interesting synchronicity is all things are for us to talk about this.
(00:22:27):
So my detuning of Scientology came when I read Lisa Marie Presley's biography.
(00:22:35):
Uh, fascinated by her because we were born same month, same year.
(00:22:38):
Um, you know, always found her interesting, you know, talk, talk about very different lives.
(00:22:43):
I was born very unknown and very poor, you know, abusive parents, that sort of thing.
(00:22:47):
And she was born,
(00:22:48):
you know,
(00:22:49):
into great privilege and wealth and notoriety and all of these things.
(00:22:52):
So this biography was written by her and her daughter because she passed away,
(00:22:57):
unfortunately,
(00:22:58):
before it was able to be finished.
(00:23:00):
And she talks about in this biography how when she was little, she was raised in Scientology.
(00:23:06):
Her mother became a Scientologist right after she left Elvis or maybe even before
(00:23:10):
that,
(00:23:10):
I'm not sure.
(00:23:12):
And how for her,
(00:23:14):
Scientology gave her all of the structure,
(00:23:16):
but eventually she sort of tired of it for whatever reason and left it.
(00:23:21):
And then her life sort of unraveled after that because she didn't have the structure.
(00:23:25):
which is what we're talking about all the time with Taya being an evolution of religion even.
(00:23:33):
That religion used to be the canon that people would live by because you would be
(00:23:37):
indoctrinated in and said,
(00:23:38):
this is what you're supposed to believe,
(00:23:39):
and people would just believe it.
(00:23:41):
And now that we have access to so much more information,
(00:23:44):
there's just so many other people and ideas and we're just so much more mobile than
(00:23:49):
we used to be.
(00:23:50):
People just naturally are questioning more and more and more.
(00:23:52):
And we're starting to see the flaws in religion show up.
(00:23:55):
It's starting to sort of crumble.
(00:23:56):
Less people every year are identifying as religious.
(00:24:00):
But if you don't move on to some other system to operate your life by,
(00:24:06):
you can really feel like you're out in the wilderness.
(00:24:08):
And what people usually do is they say, I'm an atheist.
(00:24:11):
If it's not scientifically proven, I don't believe it.
(00:24:14):
I'm an atheist.
(00:24:15):
There's nothing else.
(00:24:16):
You live, you die, and that's it.
(00:24:17):
I totally understand that.
(00:24:18):
And I think it's fine to be an atheist, by the way.
(00:24:21):
But what I've noticed is I know a lot of people that say they're atheists.
(00:24:25):
And when you start talking to them about how they run their lives,
(00:24:27):
it's always a mixture of politics and commerce and status and identity.
(00:24:32):
And it's sort of this cobbled together system that,
(00:24:35):
you know,
(00:24:35):
as long as I have money,
(00:24:36):
I feel okay about my life in the world.
(00:24:40):
As long as I have my title,
(00:24:41):
my position,
(00:24:43):
my health,
(00:24:43):
my looks,
(00:24:44):
my,
(00:24:44):
you know,
(00:24:44):
whatever it is,
(00:24:45):
there's always these identity markers and wealth security and,
(00:24:50):
you know,
(00:24:50):
all of those things.
(00:24:51):
And then you start talking about politics and you find out immediately which
(00:24:54):
polarized side they're on.
(00:24:56):
And, you know, my side good, everyone else bad, all that sort of talk.
(00:24:59):
So, you know, everyone runs on a system no matter what.
(00:25:02):
And I don't want to run on a matrix-driven, ego-driven system.
(00:25:08):
So Taya is that, is a system.
(00:25:10):
Is it completely scientific?
(00:25:13):
No.
(00:25:14):
In fact,
(00:25:14):
up until you got involved,
(00:25:18):
the science was really proving it to yourself that you are doing,
(00:25:23):
I always say,
(00:25:24):
if you do a little bit of this,
(00:25:25):
see that it works,
(00:25:26):
do some more.
(00:25:27):
And it's always your choice whether you do it or not.
(00:25:30):
So there's no penalty for dipping in and out of the Taya practice, and there never will be.
(00:25:35):
And the science part of it,
(00:25:37):
to me,
(00:25:38):
the most important scientific part of it is the experimentation that we do for
(00:25:41):
ourselves.
(00:25:42):
Prove it to yourself.
(00:25:44):
Because certainly there are things going on that science would love to prove or
(00:25:47):
disprove and cannot.
(00:25:49):
And all of that is metaphysics.
(00:25:52):
Source,
(00:25:53):
I don't believe Source will ever be proven or disproven because I believe what we
(00:25:56):
call Source is,
(00:25:57):
I don't think it's a deity.
(00:25:58):
I don't think it's human-like.
(00:25:59):
I don't think it's gendered.
(00:26:00):
I don't think it's looking to be worshipped or obeyed.
(00:26:02):
But I do think that there is a creative energy of the universe that exists in everything.
(00:26:06):
And really, that's what Source is.
(00:26:09):
So those are the similarities.
(00:26:10):
And I see the need, if you choose it, to have a system to operate your life by.
(00:26:16):
And the gift of the system is the ongoing continual clearing that creates an
(00:26:24):
ongoing increased vibration,
(00:26:27):
which means more and more of a source-like existence where fear and judgment and
(00:26:31):
need and identity just become more and more detuned in your life.
(00:26:36):
But I'm still not taking it to that place where we are just sitting and meditating
(00:26:42):
all day and being source.
(00:26:43):
Because I do believe that we came here for a physical experience and that we came
(00:26:49):
here to experience physical at the time that we're here.
(00:26:53):
And our world is heavily material.
(00:26:56):
And we do operate in a system of exchange.
(00:26:59):
So I am not going to pretend like Taya is something that you're supposed to just go
(00:27:03):
completely detune,
(00:27:05):
all need, all judgment, all desire, and just be.
(00:27:10):
If you want to do that, fine.
(00:27:12):
But Taya gives you the leeway to still have a human experience in our current reality.
(00:27:19):
You get to play in the matrix.
(00:27:20):
You just don't have to be controlled by it.
(00:27:22):
And I think that's a sweet spot for a lot of people.
(00:27:25):
I like the way Taya was described as an operating system before.
(00:27:33):
A way to navigate life
(00:27:35):
in a way that allows you to experience more of what you prefer and to be less
(00:27:45):
affected by the hiccups or speed bumps or road bumps that life or curveballs that
(00:27:54):
life throws at you.
(00:27:56):
And I think it's really good for that, actually.
(00:27:59):
And I think this focus on
(00:28:05):
I think really the focus of Taya is kind of like basically that.
(00:28:08):
It's a way of navigating life.
(00:28:12):
And when hiccups do come up,
(00:28:15):
then you detune and you clear what's in you that's pulling that particular
(00:28:22):
experience to you vibrationally.
(00:28:25):
And you clear it.
(00:28:26):
So there's a lot of ownership,
(00:28:28):
self-responsibility,
(00:28:30):
and acknowledgment that to some degree you are
(00:28:34):
creating your experience and taking responsibility for that.
(00:28:41):
And that we are all part of source.
(00:28:43):
So there are a lot of elements that are built in there that make it a very nice
(00:28:49):
foundational system for navigating life.
(00:28:51):
I think it's really, really good for that.
(00:28:54):
It's not as complex as Scientology.
(00:28:57):
You don't need to lean on external authority to dictate how far you can go.
(00:29:04):
like it's a very, I think it's a very elegant practice with just those four pillars.
(00:29:09):
And I think if your intention was to design something that could go beyond you and
(00:29:15):
not be limited by,
(00:29:17):
you know,
(00:29:18):
egos that come into play along the way,
(00:29:20):
I think you've,
(00:29:21):
I think you've succeeded.
(00:29:22):
Yeah.
(00:29:23):
And I think that like what you mentioned before about the church or traditional
(00:29:28):
churches and religions that people get into,
(00:29:31):
especially like the Christian and Catholic religions, things like that.
(00:29:36):
I think that's exactly,
(00:29:37):
and probably Scientology too,
(00:29:38):
that's probably exactly what's happened is that egos have come on the scene and
(00:29:44):
decided that things needed to be a certain way because they went for their
(00:29:49):
particular agendas or reasons.
(00:29:51):
And I think it corrupts the pure teaching that was probably given in the beginning.
(00:29:57):
And so I can only imagine that probably what I'm sure
(00:30:01):
What the Church of Scientology has evolved into today is not what L.
(00:30:06):
Ron Hubbard envisioned in the beginning.
(00:30:08):
If he were strict about the protocols or practices in the beginning,
(00:30:12):
I'm sure it was to keep it pure.
(00:30:14):
And I think somewhere along the way,
(00:30:16):
ego creeped in and I need to be at the top and I'm the one in charge and I'm the
(00:30:20):
boss.
(00:30:22):
And I think to some degree, probably that's also happened to Christianity too.
(00:30:25):
I don't believe that when Jesus walked the earth, his intention was for there to be a middleman.
(00:30:31):
you know, like the Pope or someone between God and man.
(00:30:34):
Yeah,
(00:30:34):
we could do a whole series of podcasts on modern Christianity versus what Jesus
(00:30:39):
probably was all about.
(00:30:41):
Yeah, that creep, that ego creep that you were talking about, I think that's in a lot of things.
(00:30:47):
And it's very, it's nice that you had that in mind when you were designing this.
(00:30:53):
And so it's simple for a reason and the practices are clear for a reason.
(00:30:59):
And I think that's one of the things that drew me to it and why I kind of sped
(00:31:05):
through the book once I got my copy of it,
(00:31:08):
the Taya book.
(00:31:10):
And yeah, so I appreciate that.
(00:31:12):
But I can see why a lot of people are becoming disillusioned with kind of
(00:31:17):
mainstream religion because science has reached a point where it's proving a lot of
(00:31:21):
things.
(00:31:21):
And then when you go back and you look at some of that stuff from a logical
(00:31:25):
perspective,
(00:31:26):
it just doesn't make sense.
(00:31:29):
Yeah, I questioned it.
(00:31:30):
I remember in the fourth grade,
(00:31:31):
I got kicked out of Sunday school for questioning about why dinosaurs didn't exist
(00:31:34):
in the Bible.
(00:31:36):
Well, when they wrote the Bible, they hadn't discovered the bones yet.
(00:31:39):
And I remember my older brother saying, well, God put that in there to test you.
(00:31:42):
I'm like, that kind of sounds like bullshit to me.
(00:31:44):
I don't know.
(00:31:45):
I'm not buying that.
(00:31:48):
I'm not buying it.
(00:31:49):
So it's very easy to disprove, but people...
(00:31:55):
want that identity.
(00:31:56):
Uh, there's a mega church out here by, by our house.
(00:31:59):
And,
(00:31:59):
uh,
(00:32:00):
you know,
(00:32:01):
we were driving by one Sunday and,
(00:32:02):
you know,
(00:32:02):
they have to have like,
(00:32:03):
you know,
(00:32:04):
people directing traffic in and out.
(00:32:05):
It's just, just huge parking lot, all these cars, you know, waiting to go in and things.
(00:32:08):
And,
(00:32:09):
And, you know, somebody said, I can't believe that many people still fall for this stuff.
(00:32:13):
I said, you know, what it is, is it's social.
(00:32:17):
There's probably a networking business arm to it.
(00:32:21):
You know,
(00:32:21):
it gives people sort of a foundation to live by and maybe raise their kids by,
(00:32:27):
you know,
(00:32:27):
that you're going to burn in hell thing works,
(00:32:29):
you know,
(00:32:29):
pretty well to keep people in line,
(00:32:31):
at least some people.
(00:32:32):
Yeah.
(00:32:33):
And I don't know what this church even teaches.
(00:32:35):
I don't even know any of that.
(00:32:36):
But again, the detuning, right?
(00:32:38):
The value of it is this.
(00:32:40):
It's community.
(00:32:40):
It's identity.
(00:32:41):
It's social networking.
(00:32:42):
There's probably some business networking that goes on there.
(00:32:46):
It's a place to go and a thing to do and an identity of this is who we are and what we believe.
(00:32:51):
And I think that we are...
(00:32:55):
We are technology enough ourselves that we need the system to run on because
(00:33:00):
everybody runs on some kind of a system.
(00:33:01):
You call it a belief system.
(00:33:03):
Really, that's what it is.
(00:33:05):
Everyone has this set of beliefs that they operate on.
(00:33:08):
And I look at AI and all of that and realize that we are that.
(00:33:16):
We are creating in our own image.
(00:33:17):
We're just trying to create a more efficient version of ourselves that thinks more
(00:33:21):
efficiently than we do.
(00:33:23):
And it runs on a system.
(00:33:24):
There's programming.
(00:33:25):
I use ChatGPT and I use Claude and I use something.
(00:33:29):
I use three, but primarily ChatGPT just because I've been using it for so long.
(00:33:33):
It's so dialed in to what I want to talk about.
(00:33:37):
But obviously it's still programmed.
(00:33:39):
There's bias in there and it's always telling me how right I am about everything.
(00:33:44):
It can give me something,
(00:33:45):
tell me that it's absolutely the best output and then I can question it and it will
(00:33:48):
turn right around and tell me I'm right to question it.
(00:33:50):
which for me is maddening.
(00:33:51):
I've told it so many times, stop telling me that I'm right or I'm smart to ask.
(00:33:56):
I don't care.
(00:33:56):
I want to hear from you where I'm wrong.
(00:33:59):
know what isn't working you know i'm all about stress testing everything so if i
(00:34:03):
have a new idea let's stress test this against you know what you know about me and
(00:34:08):
i i have to really work at getting that from it so there's a lot of flaws in ai
(00:34:13):
because it's it's sort of created like a social network you know that we're
(00:34:16):
designed to make us you know dopamine to make us feel good and you know why do we
(00:34:20):
need that there's plenty of things that offer that we don't we don't need that from
(00:34:23):
ai
(00:34:24):
I think one big reason that people are still drawn to mainstream religions is
(00:34:29):
because there's still truth in it.
(00:34:33):
Like those religions sprung up from,
(00:34:36):
you know,
(00:34:37):
divinely inspired teachers and and people can still see that truth.
(00:34:42):
Yeah, I think everyone innately knows that we're more than just this.
(00:34:46):
And there's some sort of creative power.
(00:34:48):
Absolutely.
(00:34:49):
there's a lot of wisdom and uh valuable teachings in those religions that that
(00:34:55):
people appreciate it's just nowadays it's just packaged it comes with a layer of of
(00:35:02):
other stuff too and so if you if you are one of those people who can go to church
(00:35:07):
and weed through the uh the dogma and the uh
(00:35:13):
uh, what's been, what's been put on top of, of the core of the teaching.
(00:35:17):
If you can get to the core of the teaching, there's still, it's still in there.
(00:35:20):
I mean, and I think it's the same for, for Scientology and the other religions as well too.
(00:35:26):
And that's what, that's another reason that people are drawn to it.
(00:35:29):
They can feel it,
(00:35:30):
you know,
(00:35:30):
there's something to it,
(00:35:31):
but it just comes with,
(00:35:33):
uh,
(00:35:33):
it's had that ego stuff added into it that you mentioned earlier.
(00:35:37):
Well, and I will, I will say that, um,
(00:35:41):
I understand as someone who has started something like this,
(00:35:45):
that is not a,
(00:35:46):
it's not a coaching program.
(00:35:48):
A lot of people, it's funny because I used to kind of struggle to even define it for myself.
(00:35:53):
And I think now,
(00:35:54):
like right now,
(00:35:55):
we're getting really dialed in on how we describe it and what it really is.
(00:36:00):
Again, eight years is nothing in the creation of something like this.
(00:36:03):
But I think we're at a turning point right now where we're getting really dialed in
(00:36:07):
on what it is,
(00:36:07):
how it operates,
(00:36:08):
who it serves.
(00:36:09):
how you do it best and, you know, who it's not for.
(00:36:13):
And people would say, are you a life coach?
(00:36:16):
And I'd always,
(00:36:17):
you know,
(00:36:17):
kind of recoil from that saying,
(00:36:18):
no,
(00:36:19):
I'm not telling people how to run their lives.
(00:36:20):
I'm not a life coach.
(00:36:21):
I'm not going to tell you what your exercise, you know, who am I to say that?
(00:36:24):
So it's not life coaching.
(00:36:26):
It's not even coaching.
(00:36:28):
I started out in the coaching world,
(00:36:29):
but that only lasted a very brief time with abundance breakthroughs.
(00:36:34):
This coaching program turned into Taya
(00:36:38):
in a few months.
(00:36:40):
And the intent,
(00:36:41):
because my intentionality was to take all of these things that I already understood
(00:36:46):
and
(00:36:47):
and teach a system because I'd already created the system for myself to start
(00:36:52):
teaching the system to other people.
(00:36:54):
Well, then it came in, well, okay, how do I, I've got to be able to explain it.
(00:36:58):
I didn't need four pillars.
(00:36:59):
I just knew what I was doing every day.
(00:37:01):
But once I start trying to communicate that to other people,
(00:37:04):
that's where the four pillars came in and the terminology and all of those things
(00:37:08):
that make it easy for someone to absorb and apply if they choose to.
(00:37:13):
But I will be very clear when,
(00:37:16):
from this day forward, if there's any lack of clarity around it, this is not coaching.
(00:37:21):
I call you a coach.
(00:37:22):
We have coaches that work within the system.
(00:37:24):
This is an operating system for your life.
(00:37:26):
And it's not a good thing for dabblers.
(00:37:31):
I think you should dabble in it long enough to decide whether it's something that
(00:37:33):
you're aligned with or not.
(00:37:35):
But you need to move forward with it if you're really going to apply it because
(00:37:40):
it's designed to continually regenerate at higher and higher and higher levels.
(00:37:46):
So you don't just go through an eight-week program and learn it and you're done.
(00:37:54):
You've got to keep going with it.
(00:37:55):
So in all of these years that we've had hundreds of people come through our program,
(00:38:01):
A lot of them have fallen away and probably gone on and done other things.
(00:38:04):
Again, we don't have a penalty for that, so they're free to do that.
(00:38:07):
Others have practiced on their own, and I hear from them, and they seem to be doing fine.
(00:38:14):
Others continue working with us in different ways.
(00:38:18):
And the people that are sort of in my inner world that have worked on this,
(00:38:22):
like Matt,
(00:38:22):
who's on here all the time,
(00:38:24):
and especially people that work with me,
(00:38:27):
They are deep, deep, deep into the practice.
(00:38:29):
And I see just such magical things going on for them because they have put the
(00:38:36):
effort in to continue practicing this.
(00:38:39):
I like what you told me in the beginning was everything is in the book.
(00:38:43):
I made sure everything is in the book.
(00:38:45):
You're transparent about the practice.
(00:38:46):
If someone does want to get really familiar with Taya and
(00:38:53):
start the practice or do the practice learn the practice they just need to tie your
(00:38:57):
book and then that that's their way that's your way in if you can read the book or
(00:39:02):
listen to the audio book and actually practice some of the material on your own you
(00:39:07):
will start to see it work in your life and i think what you were saying earlier was
(00:39:13):
that you know as you the difference between dabbling with this practice and and
(00:39:19):
doing it consistently is that when you when you dabble
(00:39:22):
Basically, you have a conditioned version of you that thinks and operates in a certain way.
(00:39:28):
And when you dabble, there's basically two versions of you that are creating.
(00:39:35):
And the version of you that's dabbling,
(00:39:38):
you're playing with it,
(00:39:39):
and you will start to see some results from it.
(00:39:42):
But for the most part,
(00:39:43):
you'll still be your normal self,
(00:39:45):
vibrating at the normal way you vibrate in the world,
(00:39:48):
attracting the experiences to you that you do.
(00:39:51):
And so as you start practicing these four pillars consistently,
(00:39:57):
then there'll gradually be a shift where it will start to become your way of
(00:40:02):
operating and navigating the world.
(00:40:04):
And you'll more consistently draw these better experiences and results to yourself,
(00:40:09):
and you'll see the fruit from it.
(00:40:11):
And with these extended programs or more like deeper dives into the material that
(00:40:19):
allow you to really
(00:40:21):
Embody embody these practices and go deeper with them and take them to a higher
(00:40:27):
level and it's just an overall upgrade to your life and your life just keeps
(00:40:31):
upgrading and upgrading with these deeper practices,
(00:40:35):
so I mean there's a definitely.
(00:40:38):
a lot of benefit from it, but you don't need the deeper practices right away.
(00:40:42):
You can start with the book.
(00:40:44):
And it's recommended that you do start with either the podcast or the books because
(00:40:49):
you'll be familiar with it.
(00:40:50):
You won't be overwhelmed with the material when you come into the deeper program
(00:40:57):
because it's serious.
(00:40:59):
There's a lot of work in there that you'll need to do.
(00:41:03):
And if you already have some experience with the teachings,
(00:41:06):
it's easier for you to take it deeper,
(00:41:11):
to dive into it,
(00:41:11):
because you've already seen some results from your experimentation with it.
(00:41:17):
So yeah, it's absolutely worth it.
(00:41:22):
And it does just keep getting better and better.
(00:41:24):
So I do recommend people start wherever they are, if you want to start.
(00:41:33):
To your point, I think as you do the practice, you will become better resourced.
(00:41:39):
As you start applying the value and investing in this instead of,
(00:41:44):
you know,
(00:41:45):
it's funny when sometimes we meet people,
(00:41:48):
your coaching program is $10,000.
(00:41:50):
That's insane.
(00:41:50):
How much did you pay for your car?
(00:41:52):
Oh, it's 80,000, 60,000, 50,000.
(00:41:53):
Okay.
(00:41:54):
So a system that you're going to use for clarity and sovereignty and prosperity for
(00:42:02):
the rest of your life is not worth what the BMW lease payment,
(00:42:06):
you know,
(00:42:07):
Really?
(00:42:07):
Yeah.
(00:42:08):
Well, again, that's a threshold, right?
(00:42:10):
Oh yeah, you're right.
(00:42:11):
I do value the car more than I value that.
(00:42:13):
Okay.
(00:42:13):
Then this is not the thing for you.
(00:42:16):
It's not the thing for you.
(00:42:17):
And if you are not quote unquote,
(00:42:19):
well resourced and you're still in that sort of the world isn't fair.
(00:42:25):
Yeah.
(00:42:27):
It's not fair that I'm here.
(00:42:30):
That kind of mindset, the academy is going to kick your ass if you're there.
(00:42:35):
Stay at a different level and I will do that stuff for you at no charge until
(00:42:40):
you're ready to say $10,000 is nothing.
(00:42:43):
$100,000 is nothing.
(00:42:44):
So somebody that I did a session with this morning was saying that he had pledged
(00:42:48):
$100,000 to somebody to start learning a system and started learning it.
(00:42:52):
And he likes this one better.
(00:42:55):
And I said, I'm not ready to just ask for $100,000 pledge, but I like that as kind of a test.
(00:43:00):
If this costs $100,000 over a lifetime, do you see that?
(00:43:06):
And if the answer is no, then why not?
(00:43:11):
Because if it's doing for you what you believe it will do,
(00:43:15):
that should just be nothing,
(00:43:17):
inconsequential.
(00:43:19):
But if it's not, then why are you pursuing it?
(00:43:21):
So what I'm trying to communicate here is being in the headspace of this is going
(00:43:27):
to be something that I'm choosing.
(00:43:29):
It's a chosen system, not mandated.
(00:43:31):
There'll never be dogma.
(00:43:33):
And I see how it can serve me already.
(00:43:37):
I want it to serve me more and more and more.
(00:43:39):
And the money will just arrive for me to keep doing higher level work as we keep
(00:43:44):
building out these higher levels of it.
(00:43:46):
And that's something that...
(00:43:48):
I think on the other side of the gate,
(00:43:49):
Scientology probably has dialed in really well because you have all these – I don't
(00:43:53):
want these identities.
(00:43:54):
I don't want an ego-driven identity of, well, I'm above you because I've done this.
(00:43:58):
It's not that at all.
(00:43:59):
But there is something to be said for,
(00:44:02):
okay,
(00:44:02):
I'm going to do this specific work to achieve this level and then to keep going
(00:44:07):
higher because we see the value in going higher,
(00:44:09):
right?
(00:44:10):
Right.
(00:44:10):
I'm going to then do that.
(00:44:11):
So that will be part of Taya for sure.
(00:44:14):
It already is,
(00:44:14):
but that will be more fleshed out as part of Taya to give people sort of an A to Z.
(00:44:19):
This is what this looks like.
(00:44:21):
That's more that what you described earlier is more like in karate.
(00:44:26):
I'm a yellow belt.
(00:44:27):
I'm a red belt.
(00:44:29):
Well, it's just kind of understanding what level of work are you doing?
(00:44:32):
What level of training do you need?
(00:44:34):
Who do you need to work with?
(00:44:36):
There is value.
(00:44:36):
This is a system.
(00:44:37):
The scientific part of this is that it's a system.
(00:44:41):
And it's very important to have a system because right now,
(00:44:45):
most people are running on a system that they're not even aware that they're
(00:44:48):
running on.
(00:44:49):
And there's a lot of fear and judgment peppered into it.
(00:44:52):
And if you're tired of fear and judgment and you want to detune those elements out
(00:44:55):
of your life,
(00:44:56):
not completely,
(00:44:57):
but mostly and live a relatively fear-free life,
(00:45:00):
especially in an era where there's so much fear being peddled to us every day that
(00:45:06):
they're just going on social media or the news can be terrifying.
(00:45:11):
I don't want to live like that.
(00:45:13):
I want to be a sovereign being, no matter what's going on around me.
(00:45:15):
I know that I'm, I'm protected.
(00:45:18):
I'm good.
(00:45:19):
I'm cared for.
(00:45:19):
My wellbeing is guaranteed.
(00:45:21):
That has worked for me for 58 years.
(00:45:23):
So, and honestly, honestly speaking, even just if you just had the ability to just detune,
(00:45:31):
world events and the things you see on the news that alone is is invaluable yes
(00:45:37):
especially yeah well and you know part of taya too is that ultimately for a while
(00:45:41):
you might want to turn those things off and cleanse yourself but now i don't have
(00:45:45):
to hide from any of it yeah plus once you understand once you understand how life
(00:45:50):
treats you once you're up your spiral vibrationally versus down and then you're
(00:45:55):
able to just
(00:45:56):
Wipe away all the anxiety,
(00:45:58):
fear and anger from these external events that are always trying to trigger you in
(00:46:03):
some way.
(00:46:04):
I mean, that's that's gold by itself.
(00:46:07):
Yeah, it is.
(00:46:09):
Yeah, that's that's what I want the rest of my life to look like.
(00:46:12):
The financial health and all that stuff is secondary to clarity and sovereignty,
(00:46:17):
emotional mastery,
(00:46:19):
so that I'm not being batted all over the place with judgments and things like
(00:46:23):
that.
(00:46:23):
That's why we talk about emotional mastery so much.
(00:46:25):
So we are shifting some things a bit.
(00:46:27):
We're getting a little more structured than we have been because we need to be at this point.
(00:46:32):
Uh, Ty is maturing.
(00:46:33):
Uh,
(00:46:34):
I've gotten into doing some things that were pulling out of us in an email out
(00:46:37):
about that this week that I'm backing out.
(00:46:39):
I was doing too much.
(00:46:41):
Um, this is the place to consume it casually.
(00:46:44):
The book is a little more of a commitment and then the Academy is much more of a
(00:46:48):
commitment and the,
(00:46:49):
uh,
(00:46:49):
the session work that I do.
(00:46:52):
That's something I very much limit.
(00:46:54):
And it really is for somebody who just doesn't want to go do the academy level work.
(00:46:59):
They want to come have a conversation.
(00:47:00):
But if you're going to have a conversation,
(00:47:02):
then we're going to have a series of conversations and you're going to apply what
(00:47:05):
we're talking about and you're going to come back.
(00:47:07):
And it's not a money saving thing because it costs the same.
(00:47:11):
You've got to buy a block of 10 for a thousand dollars a piece to do that.
(00:47:14):
Because you need to be...
(00:47:16):
Yeah, it's $10,000 either way.
(00:47:17):
You pick your lane.
(00:47:18):
If you want to go do modules and group work and get to know people and community
(00:47:23):
and go really deep and one-to-one coaching with different coaches,
(00:47:26):
that's academy.
(00:47:28):
If you just want to talk to me,
(00:47:29):
if you just want to talk to the founder of the whole thing and apply and come back
(00:47:32):
and stress test and do this over a period,
(00:47:34):
a long period of time,
(00:47:35):
then that's the session work.
(00:47:37):
But they're both the same price to start.
(00:47:41):
Something you said was funny earlier.
(00:47:44):
And you,
(00:47:44):
you mentioned the guy who had pledged,
(00:47:46):
uh,
(00:47:47):
a hundred K for,
(00:47:48):
to learn a different system.
(00:47:50):
And after he had learned that, then he found Taya.
(00:47:53):
Yes.
(00:47:54):
And it, and, and actually there's something vibrationally going on there.
(00:47:57):
The same thing happened to me.
(00:47:59):
I did a 10 K program, uh, the year before I joined bootcamp.
(00:48:04):
And right after I finished it,
(00:48:07):
right after I finished it,
(00:48:09):
I found the Taya book and joined bootcamp.
(00:48:11):
And oh, I thought, oh my God.
(00:48:14):
Why did I spend the 10K for the other thing?
(00:48:16):
Because this is what I was really looking for.
(00:48:19):
Well,
(00:48:19):
you know what I like to say,
(00:48:21):
though,
(00:48:21):
because a lot of people,
(00:48:23):
this is not their first rodeo.
(00:48:25):
It's not their first program they've taken.
(00:48:27):
We see that a lot.
(00:48:29):
Some people it is, but a lot of people haven't.
(00:48:31):
I always say don't demonize those things.
(00:48:34):
What Taya will do is give you the foundational structure to allow all of those
(00:48:38):
other things to come online and have more value.
(00:48:41):
And I do believe that.
(00:48:42):
Unless it was just a complete,
(00:48:43):
and I can't imagine you or anybody in Taya to be taken advantage of in such a way
(00:48:49):
that you took a complete BS program.
(00:48:50):
And they're out there, especially the get rich quick type stuff.
(00:48:53):
But I can't imagine anybody in Taya,
(00:48:57):
they're a long way from that space,
(00:48:59):
you know,
(00:48:59):
if they were ever in it at all.
(00:49:00):
So it was probably something legitimate that this just gives you the foundation to actually.
(00:49:06):
What you said, what you said is accurate, actually, because that program was good.
(00:49:11):
But I wasn't in a place where I could take full advantage of it.
(00:49:15):
And I think that if I if I entered into it now after having gone through through
(00:49:19):
this training,
(00:49:20):
then it would be a very different experience.
(00:49:22):
I'm just in a completely different space now.
(00:49:24):
So, yeah.
(00:49:25):
Yeah.
(00:49:25):
Well, you know, I did create Taya to be the only thing you ever need.
(00:49:29):
But again, that's up to the student.
(00:49:32):
But the only thing you ever need,
(00:49:34):
meaning these four pillars have proven to do everything that any human being needs,
(00:49:39):
if they choose it,
(00:49:40):
to just keep you on this evolutionary,
(00:49:43):
just increasing spiral of greater clarity,
(00:49:47):
more sovereignty,
(00:49:48):
and a more joyful existence endlessly.
(00:49:52):
I don't see an end to this.
(00:49:53):
Yeah.
(00:49:54):
Well, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for helping out here on this episode, Derek.

(00:50:19):
So thank you for making it all the way to the end.
(00:50:21):
