(00:00:01): 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 real happiness. (00:00:14): Tya is an advanced operating system for life and you're about to learn it right now. (00:00:21): We have to stop looking for external saviors. (00:00:29): And when you hear that, you may think, well, I don't do that. (00:00:32): Why would I want to listen to this episode? (00:00:34): I don't do that. (00:00:37): Have you really explored whether or not you're still doing that on some level, (00:00:45): even unconsciously? (00:00:48): Because I always say that spirituality is a big tent. (00:00:54): There's all sorts of (00:00:56): modalities and beliefs and philosophies and things out there being taught. (00:01:03): It all sort of gets lumped under this big umbrella. (00:01:07): I have long since moved through and released the need or even the curiosity for most of it. (00:01:18): Wherever you are in this process is fine. (00:01:21): I'm not saying you're not allowed to be there. (00:01:24): And I will never tell you what you're supposed to believe or not believe. (00:01:27): I'm not into that, but I have been on sort of a spiritual journey. (00:01:36): This, this podcast, which was originally called the stream of David podcast. (00:01:40): It's called the Tya podcast started back in 2017 and it started with me channeling. (00:01:47): It was the first time I ever channeled publicly ever. (00:01:52): I taught myself to channel locked in my car in the parking garage of my condo (00:01:59): building in San Francisco because I was too embarrassed for other people to hear (00:02:04): me. (00:02:06): I taught myself to speak this inner knowing that I had been receiving my whole life. (00:02:12): And I refer to that as channeling. (00:02:15): I think when we talk about channeling and this episode is not about that, (00:02:19): we just talked about that, (00:02:20): what a week or two ago. (00:02:22): When we talk about channeling, it definitely falls under the spirituality umbrella. (00:02:29): You are sharing something that you believe is beyond you. (00:02:36): Definitely, that was still part of my exploration of what you might call spirituality. (00:02:43): If you care to go way back, and people do, (00:02:47): I don't necessarily recommend it, (00:02:49): but there are people that have gone back to 2017 and they have listened to every (00:02:55): single episode of the stream of David podcast all the way through when we convert (00:03:00): it to the tie up podcast, (00:03:02): which was just in 2025 and they're getting up to date with it. (00:03:07): And I think that's fine. (00:03:08): It's an archive. (00:03:09): It's sort of an archive of the entire experience that I've had with all of these (00:03:15): things and how I have (00:03:18): applied them, explored them. (00:03:21): A lot of them I was never interested in. (00:03:23): I can tell you that we are generally a top one, 1.5% podcast. (00:03:30): We are certainly not getting numbers that Joe Rogan or anybody that I was getting (00:03:33): anywhere near that. (00:03:34): But if you're in the top 1%, you've got a decent-sized audience. (00:03:39): And I get requests for guest appearances on here multiple times every day. (00:03:47): Thankfully, (00:03:49): my general business email is not public, (00:03:51): so I have to go to a specific email address to see how many we get. (00:03:55): It's insane how many we get. (00:03:59): I never respond to any of them because I'm not interested in having somebody come (00:04:03): on here and share something that is not Taya. (00:04:08): You're listening to this because you're at least somewhat curious about what Taya is. (00:04:13): The stream of David was me sharing a stream of consciousness that I was tapping (00:04:19): into and that stream of consciousness absolutely delivered clarity. (00:04:26): And it delivered clarity about things that we have stress tested that have proven (00:04:31): to be accurate. (00:04:33): And if I ever come up with something and we stress test it and it's not true, (00:04:37): it's not accurate, (00:04:38): I will be the first to tell you about that. (00:04:41): So if you've listened to recent episodes, (00:04:45): you know that I'm no longer trance channeling, (00:04:47): meaning I'm no longer getting into that high meditative space on purpose. (00:04:54): to share that information in the same way with the same level of purity that I used (00:05:00): to and I'm not necessarily saying I'm never going to do that again but I just don't (00:05:04): feel called to do that anymore and one of the reasons that I'm not doing that is (00:05:09): because the last thing I ever intended and the last thing that I want now is to (00:05:13): create dependency on that because again I created Tya so that anyone who wants to (00:05:24): understand themselves on a very high level, (00:05:29): anyone that wants to rein in their emotions and recalibrate what they're focusing (00:05:36): on to make the changes in their lives that they are seeking to make, (00:05:42): whatever those are, (00:05:44): these tools have proven to do that. (00:05:47): We know now they work. (00:05:48): We have years of evidence now with people practicing this at the highest level. (00:05:52): We know this works for that. (00:05:55): And I have moved through talking about law of attraction. (00:06:00): Very early on, (00:06:01): I really stopped talking about law of attraction so much because I think it's so (00:06:05): misunderstood and misused and overused and really moved more into what I call the (00:06:10): universal process of creation, (00:06:12): which is more scientific. (00:06:14): I don't just mean what science is proving. (00:06:16): I'm not just referring to quantum physics. (00:06:18): I think there's a strong correlation there. (00:06:21): And I think the universal process of creation and quantum physics are moving closer (00:06:25): and closer together all the time. (00:06:27): But there's still a little bit of magic in that, that we're still not really sure what that is. (00:06:33): And I will tell you that magic may always be there because I identify that creative magic. (00:06:42): It's not magic, but it feels like magic sometimes. (00:06:45): when things just miraculously work out, even when you don't think they necessarily are. (00:06:49): But that creative magic, I call that source. (00:06:54): I don't believe that that is a deity. (00:06:56): I don't believe it has rules. (00:06:58): I don't believe it has direction in our lives. (00:07:00): That's all our ego discerning preference and choosing paths. (00:07:04): And the outcome that we generate is very much going to be a reflection of the (00:07:09): energy and attention and focus that we put into the path. (00:07:13): So I don't think there's anything out there telling us this is where you need to go (00:07:16): next and this is what you need to do. (00:07:18): I don't believe in guides. (00:07:19): I don't believe in angels. (00:07:21): I absolutely believe in that creative energy, (00:07:23): however, (00:07:23): and I believe that creative energy can reveal itself in ways that may make us (00:07:28): believe that that's what's present. (00:07:32): I've had experiences that probably should have killed me, especially as a teenager. (00:07:35): If you read my first book, I talk about all kinds of crazy shit that we did. (00:07:40): And I look back now, pushing 58, and think, God, I would never do that now. (00:07:45): But as a teenager, you feel invincible. (00:07:47): I did crazy things. (00:07:49): I should have died several times as a teenager with the things that I did, (00:07:52): even in my 20s with some of the things that I did. (00:07:54): But I didn't. (00:07:56): And I do feel like there was a protective energy around me that was looking out for me. (00:08:02): But was that not just the energy of creation, (00:08:07): the energy of well-being that I was simply allowing that we all have access to? (00:08:12): And was I aligned with it enough to survive some of the stupid things that I did? (00:08:19): That's where I am today in my belief patterns, in my belief system. (00:08:24): But there's a difference between belief system and operating system. (00:08:30): We talk about the Taya practice as more of a practice, a belief system. (00:08:37): You can call it spiritual if you want. (00:08:39): We're absolutely talking about energy creating things and focus creating things and (00:08:44): where you focus, (00:08:46): you are creating. (00:08:48): And the four pillars of the Taya practice, (00:08:50): which are appreciation, (00:08:51): source, (00:08:52): polarity, (00:08:52): and tension, (00:08:53): we created those four pillars so that we have this sort of guiding canon of what (00:08:59): Taya is and more importantly, (00:09:01): what it is not and shall never be. (00:09:04): And the reason I created that is because I realized that these four things really (00:09:08): are the four things that if we focus on those and apply those and continue to apply (00:09:14): them as a way of life, (00:09:17): then our lives get more interesting. (00:09:22): Things certainly get better. (00:09:23): We navigate better. (00:09:25): But I have yet to discover perfection. (00:09:29): And I will tell you, (00:09:30): and you've probably heard me say this a million times, (00:09:32): if you listen often, (00:09:34): I don't believe perfection exists because I know some of the coaches and the gurus (00:09:38): out there that sort of project that perfect image. (00:09:42): They've got the most dialed in physique and they're getting on the private jet and (00:09:46): they've got the hottest partner with them. (00:09:48): And they're talking about all the millions and billions that they're bringing in. (00:09:52): And (00:09:55): I believe a lot of those things are probably true for those folks, (00:09:57): but I also know enough about them to know that there's other areas where they (00:10:00): struggle and they suffer and they have crisis. (00:10:02): They have all sorts of problems to solve. (00:10:04): If you are wealthy enough, (00:10:07): successful enough that you are flying private, (00:10:09): well, (00:10:10): you know that that presents a whole other set of problems beyond flying commercial. (00:10:16): Is the experience better? (00:10:18): Yes, it's better. (00:10:19): But there are still, (00:10:21): there's a heightened level of responsibility with operating a jet and absolutely a (00:10:26): heightened level of responsibility of owning and operating a jet (00:10:31): If it's just the cost associated with, (00:10:33): with maintaining all of those things, (00:10:34): that's one thing, (00:10:35): but also just the management of it. (00:10:37): So anything that you do that looks or signals, (00:10:41): wow, (00:10:42): this person is really crushing it on the outside, (00:10:44): which is what I call the matrix, (00:10:46): you know, (00:10:46): the Instagram version of life very often. (00:10:51): You should also acknowledge all of the other things that come along with that and (00:10:54): just say that in my life, (00:10:56): I've decided that having this identity (00:11:01): is worth that much more challenge in my life. (00:11:08): And you've made a choice and that's fine, (00:11:09): but don't pretend like it doesn't come with challenge because it does. (00:11:12): Everything is going to take some sort of work, effort, focus. (00:11:15): It just is. (00:11:16): That's the way our universe works. (00:11:18): I know one of the reasons that I really got away from the law of attraction (00:11:22): teachings is because it was this mindset. (00:11:24): I kept hearing these questions over and over again in any law of attraction seminar or workshop (00:11:30): was always, how do I manifest with doing nothing? (00:11:34): How do I sit on my sofa and just manifest? (00:11:36): Well, of course you can make money sitting on your sofa. (00:11:39): We all know about passive income, but why the nothing? (00:11:44): Why does that have to be the doing nothing part? (00:11:47): Why does the doing nothing part have to be so important if you are trying to figure (00:11:54): out this conscious creation thing? (00:11:57): And again, there's no rules in what I teach. (00:11:59): So if that's your path, that's fine. (00:12:01): But I'm just challenging that idea a little bit because there is some sort of (00:12:06): underlying fear if you are wanting to figure out how to manifest with zero effort (00:12:13): all the time. (00:12:15): Because if you're wanting to do that, (00:12:16): the manifestation itself is going to require effort of focus, (00:12:19): if nothing else. (00:12:22): And we all know that quote-unquote passive income is (00:12:25): deserves your attention if it doesn't just downright require it or it's not going (00:12:31): to stabilize unless you're really, (00:12:32): really, (00:12:32): really dialed into the zone where you can just invest in something, (00:12:35): forget all about it. (00:12:36): I know that happens and it just pays you and pays you and pays you and you never (00:12:39): have to think about it again. (00:12:40): Energetically, you can get there. (00:12:42): But are you really there in your belief system is the question. (00:12:46): Because what you would like to believe and be able to believe and practice and what (00:12:51): you're actually up to speed with subconsciously are very often two different (00:12:57): things. (00:12:59): So we discover these things. (00:13:01): We get into this big tent of manifestation, law of attraction. (00:13:04): Spirituality is sort of the broader tent over all of that. (00:13:07): There's certainly factions of spirituality that would say that anything material is (00:13:11): wrong, (00:13:13): that you shouldn't be focused on that at all. (00:13:14): The law of attraction is something you shouldn't even be thinking about. (00:13:17): And there's just all these thoughts and ideas, (00:13:20): and it's all bundled together under one big umbrella, (00:13:23): and we call that spirituality. (00:13:25): And as we have... (00:13:27): by and large, stepped away from religion. (00:13:31): I am not aware of many people today that are practicing the brand of Christianity (00:13:38): that I was raised in. (00:13:42): I will tell you that my Christian upbringing is something that I would not go back (00:13:46): and change for anything. (00:13:49): I love that I had that available to me at that time in my life. (00:13:54): I believe it served me. (00:13:56): I believe it kept me grounded in a belief structure, (00:14:01): even if it was just the community and the thing to focus on that wasn't school, (00:14:11): that gave me some sort of identity and community and place to go and thing to do (00:14:17): other than mischief. (00:14:21): Because a lot of kids that grew up in a situation that I grew up in, (00:14:25): disconnected parents, (00:14:26): very disconnected parents, (00:14:27): mentally ill, (00:14:28): mother, (00:14:29): poverty, (00:14:30): they end up getting into trouble. (00:14:34): And I always managed to keep myself out of trouble. (00:14:38): And I think part of that church-going identity that was absolutely forced upon me (00:14:43): by my grandmother, (00:14:44): I see how that served me for that time. (00:14:46): But then I got to a place where I questioned it and I questioned it deeper and (00:14:50): there weren't satisfactory answers to my questions. (00:14:53): And then part of my own identity was inconsistent with what I was being told in (00:14:58): that religion and I stepped away from it. (00:15:00): And I was so turned off by it that I identified as an atheist for a little bit. (00:15:04): Not long, but for a little bit. (00:15:06): And I think a lot of people have followed that. (00:15:09): They are indoctrinated into a religion that... (00:15:13): is not consistent with who they are, (00:15:15): what they want, (00:15:15): and what they're believing as they get out into the world and discover other (00:15:19): things. (00:15:20): And maybe they move to other forms of religion or maybe they just move out of it completely. (00:15:25): And then they're out in that space that I like to call out in the wilderness. (00:15:28): But you're trying to figure out how life happens, what can give you a leg up. (00:15:33): what's the unfair advantage of you. (00:15:34): If you ever talk to marketing people, (00:15:36): they're always talking about, (00:15:37): you know, (00:15:37): signaling an unfair advantage is, (00:15:39): is, (00:15:39): is key because everyone wants an unfair advantage. (00:15:42): Everyone has an ego. (00:15:43): Everyone wants to live another day and have a little more. (00:15:46): And that's why our world operates the way that it does. (00:15:48): And of course there's, there's positives and negatives to that as well. (00:15:52): But this energetic thing that started out as new age spirituality, (00:16:02): of course there is an ego driven desire or need behind our exploration of that. (00:16:10): How can I find joy in a world that can seem chaotic? (00:16:15): How can I return myself to wellbeing even when the odds are stacked against me on paper? (00:16:24): And so if we're not going to go back to the rules and the dogma of religion, (00:16:28): then we're going to move into sometimes the exploration of something that might be (00:16:33): labeled spiritual. (00:16:35): And I believe that started out in the late 60s. (00:16:41): I know there were factions of that going on well before that, (00:16:44): but really the mainstream spirituality movement started happening in the 60s, (00:16:49): into the 70s. (00:16:51): It probably had a little bit of a regression in the 80s, (00:16:53): which were a little more about showing off and greed is good and all of that. (00:16:57): And then (00:16:58): you know that sort of gave way to the pendulum swinging the other direction sort of (00:17:02): the grunge culture back to kind of a hippie mindset that lasted for a minute until (00:17:07): all of my generation's hippies started understanding how much money could be made (00:17:11): in software development and things like that and you know certainly a lot of people (00:17:15): of my generation made billions of dollars and millions of dollars and decided hey (00:17:20): that grunge thing is long gone you know now we're capitalist because we found out (00:17:24): how to make that work so (00:17:27): For anyone struggling with any of that, the lure of energetic creation is very sexy. (00:17:36): It's very seductive. (00:17:38): And some of those folks that have done really, (00:17:41): really well will share that they understand that there's a bit of magic in their (00:17:47): success sometimes. (00:17:49): And we hear that and we really, really latch onto that. (00:17:53): And we double down and we just keep moving toward that. (00:17:56): How do we get better at manifesting? (00:17:58): How do we get better at mindset? (00:18:01): What is the success mindset? (00:18:03): What is the abundance mindset? (00:18:07): So I've been through all of that. (00:18:09): I have explored it. (00:18:11): I have tested it. (00:18:14): I have tested it personally. (00:18:16): And then when I tested enough personally and got enough evidence, (00:18:20): I started sharing what I had discovered. (00:18:24): And when enough people were interested in learning what I had discovered and (00:18:28): applied and worked and they started applying it and seeing it show up for them, (00:18:35): it became a thing. (00:18:36): And so I dedicated my life to this, (00:18:40): to creating this, (00:18:41): this practice, (00:18:43): which is more than just a practice. (00:18:48): Lately, we've called it an operating system. (00:18:50): In fact, in the book, the subtitle of the Taya book, an upgraded operating system for your life. (00:18:59): we're shifting that a little bit. (00:19:00): We're redoing the cover. (00:19:01): We're not redoing the interior because people seem to really love what the book says inside. (00:19:05): There's nothing more to add to that at this time, (00:19:08): but the way that we're sharing it, (00:19:10): we're changing. (00:19:11): So we're changing the cover because I am moving a little further away from (00:19:16): mainstream spirituality. (00:19:19): I have found that a lot of it (00:19:22): didn't really hold up under the stress test that we've done in the Thai Academy and (00:19:29): just in my own personal practice. (00:19:31): So we are allowing the elements that didn't really work so well to sort of fall away. (00:19:38): And we're taking the elements that worked and we're moving forward with it because (00:19:42): there's pieces of this that have really worked well. (00:19:44): And that's what Taya really is. (00:19:45): So I want the book now externally to match the energy and the level of (00:19:54): sophistication that's inside the book. (00:19:57): And I didn't put a whole lot of thought into the original cover. (00:20:00): So we're updating the cover. (00:20:01): I don't know when the new cover is going to be out. (00:20:02): If you're interested in the book, just get the book. (00:20:04): The interior is not going to change. (00:20:06): You know, (00:20:06): the price and the interior will be the same, (00:20:09): but the cover will change and it will shift. (00:20:11): So we're thinking about not changing the title, (00:20:14): but changing the subtitle to be a little more accurate about what it really is. (00:20:19): And so the too long for usefulness subtitle became an advanced operating system for (00:20:29): elite emotional mastery. (00:20:31): And then I even tagged on for a minute for the spiritually exhausted. (00:20:38): if I had to, that's not a good elevator pitch, is it? (00:20:42): That's a mouthful. (00:20:43): So obviously it's not going to be that, (00:20:45): but if I had to define today where Taya is, (00:20:49): what it is for someone just discovering us, (00:20:51): I would absolutely say it's an advanced operating system for life, (00:20:57): which is simple, (00:20:58): but to take it a little further, (00:21:00): well, (00:21:00): operating system, (00:21:01): what does that mean? (00:21:01): You know, where are you a computer? (00:21:02): What is that? (00:21:03): Okay. (00:21:03): I need to define it a little more. (00:21:05): Well, (00:21:06): What do those four pillars do? (00:21:09): Appreciation, source, polarity, and intention. (00:21:12): That gives us a canon to manage our emotional reaction to what we're experiencing 24-7. (00:21:25): That's the magic of Taya because Taya is created to give you the tools to (00:21:33): reorganize your subconscious. (00:21:36): And your subconscious mind, as you probably are aware, is your core operating system. (00:21:42): There are things that you respond to and react to and build beliefs upon that are (00:21:48): very much rooted deep in your emotional architecture, (00:21:54): your core operating system, (00:21:56): your subconscious mind. (00:21:58): And some of those things are so deeply rooted that we often feel like we just can't change them. (00:22:05): It's too late to change. (00:22:07): I've been this way for a long time. (00:22:08): I'm setting my ways. (00:22:11): But we are finding at the academy level that this isn't true because we've had (00:22:15): people over 70, (00:22:18): and they've been guests on here recently, (00:22:21): come in and shift core beliefs that they created in early childhood that they know (00:22:27): have been revealing themselves in unwanted ways over and over again in cycles for a (00:22:32): lifetime. (00:22:34): And we've seen that be solved in people over 70. (00:22:40): And yes, (00:22:41): it's been helpful to bring a psychologist into this and a scientist into this and (00:22:44): all of these people that we have that you hear from from time to time on here. (00:22:48): Yes, it's helpful to have that. (00:22:50): But what we boil down to is what works and what doesn't. (00:22:56): And those four pillars are all about emotion. (00:23:01): So the elevator pitch, yes, it's, it's an advanced operating system for life. (00:23:05): Absolutely. (00:23:06): It is the, (00:23:07): the folks that are practicing this are absolutely practicing or experiencing life (00:23:13): at an advanced level. (00:23:15): Are they crushing an Instagram style? (00:23:18): No, we're not even concerned about that. (00:23:21): Are we experiencing joy and clarity on a daily basis? (00:23:26): Yeah. (00:23:27): Yeah. (00:23:29): Are we leveraging our lower vibrational periods, (00:23:32): our spin outs when we're not in that high vibration, (00:23:35): joyful space and we're triggered by something or we're moving through a prolonged (00:23:40): lower vibrational period? (00:23:41): We call that a spin out. (00:23:43): instead of pretending like that doesn't exist, (00:23:46): as some spiritual practices may lead you to do, (00:23:50): or racing away from them because we don't want to be in low vibration. (00:23:53): That's terrible. (00:23:54): One of my big beefs with law of attraction teachings and manifestation work is all of this. (00:23:59): You've got to raise your vibration, raise your vibration, be in high vibration all the time. (00:24:03): Well, first of all, you can't. (00:24:06): And secondly, why the hell do you need to be in high vibration all the time? (00:24:10): Nobody can. (00:24:11): There's obviously a reason that low vibration exists. (00:24:14): Why don't we really look into what that's for? (00:24:17): And not only what it's for, let's use this practice to leverage that. (00:24:23): Your emotions are feedback. (00:24:29): Your emotions are a clear indicator of what you're experiencing in the moment, (00:24:34): what your core beliefs are. (00:24:37): Wow, I'm really triggered by that. (00:24:38): Why? (00:24:40): Wow, (00:24:42): that topic, (00:24:42): I just can't even think about it because it's just been so painful for me (00:24:47): throughout my lifetime that I have to avoid it. (00:24:49): Why? (00:24:49): I can't even watch the news anymore because I get so angry. (00:24:59): Well, then maybe there's something in there that you want to look at and work on. (00:25:03): Maybe there's some reorganizing of how you're viewing something. (00:25:07): Because the things that we demonize expand. (00:25:13): The things that we demonize in our lives reveal themselves in our life journey (00:25:19): again and again and again and again, (00:25:21): often in various ways. (00:25:23): You see patterns. (00:25:27): If you don't want those patterns, then what are you going to do about it? (00:25:37): It's very valuable, especially for people who are successful. (00:25:47): The reason I say this is because when you're successful in life, (00:25:54): the matrix, (00:25:55): the human collective belief system that we tend to operate on, (00:26:02): rewards us and tells us that we're doing everything correctly. (00:26:11): But then we get triggered. (00:26:13): Then our emotions come in and we feel like in some ways we can't control them. (00:26:20): And if you want a good example of this, I'll give you a very good, well-known example of this. (00:26:25): A couple of years ago, (00:26:26): I think it's two or three years ago now, (00:26:29): Will Smith, (00:26:31): my age, (00:26:31): I think he was born the same year I am, (00:26:33): very successful guy. (00:26:39): jumped on stage and slapped the shit out of Chris Rock over a joke at the Academy (00:26:46): Awards ceremony, (00:26:47): something that was being viewed all over the world by millions of people at a time (00:26:51): when he was nominated for the highest award and won it. (00:26:59): You're smart enough and talented enough, (00:27:01): I'm certain that he is, (00:27:04): to get there, (00:27:07): to be at the top of your game (00:27:10): bringing in that much income and accolades and, (00:27:13): and, (00:27:13): and from what I can tell everybody liked the guy, (00:27:20): certainly popular publicly. (00:27:21): I, I, you know, I don't pay attention to how many followers anybody has or any of that stuff. (00:27:24): And I don't really pay attention to social media much anymore, (00:27:27): period or celebrities for that matter. (00:27:29): But we all knew that this happened and gosh, you know, this guy at the top of his game, (00:27:34): so much money, (00:27:35): so much adoration, (00:27:39): and he's going to have that sort of emotional reaction, (00:27:42): which is rooted in so much more than just that joke in that moment. (00:27:48): That was an early childhood root that grew branches that created a massive trigger (00:27:55): that was maybe dormant inside him. (00:27:56): Maybe it revealed itself in other ways, probably, that we're not aware of. (00:28:00): But (00:28:04): And it was never addressed because for him in the matrix, you're crushing life. (00:28:17): You've got it all. (00:28:23): So where are we not optimized emotionally? (00:28:31): That's what I want to look at. (00:28:35): What are we reacting to in a way that makes us feel like we're not in control? (00:28:46): We know that when something is presented to us and creates this emotional reaction (00:28:53): that we feel like we don't have control over, (00:28:57): we are now able to be controlled by something or someone else. (00:29:05): And we know there's great power in that. (00:29:08): That's what the matrix is. (00:29:12): Here's something to be afraid of. (00:29:14): Now do what we want. (00:29:17): Whether it's behave the way that we tell you to behave, (00:29:20): live the way we tell you to live, (00:29:23): do what we tell you to do, (00:29:24): buy what we tell you to buy, (00:29:27): invest in what we tell you to invest in. (00:29:31): We know this. (00:29:34): And as smart as we are and as many boxes of success we can check off and feel good (00:29:43): about ourselves, (00:29:46): we all know that there's those few little things that are still there that we don't (00:29:52): want to think about, (00:29:52): we don't want to look at, (00:29:53): we don't want to examine. (00:29:57): We say, that's so long ago. (00:29:58): It doesn't matter. (00:29:59): It's in the past. (00:30:00): I've moved through it. (00:30:01): I'm over it. (00:30:03): I've forgiven. (00:30:06): I will tell you that the litmus test for Taya is forgiveness is lovely. (00:30:16): Wonderful. (00:30:17): You forgave. (00:30:18): Do authentically appreciate. (00:30:23): Not this fake spiritual gratitude. (00:30:25): Oh, I'm so grateful for everything. (00:30:27): Not that. (00:30:27): It's not that. (00:30:29): No. (00:30:31): Do you understand it so deeply that it no longer triggers you? (00:30:35): You no longer fear it. (00:30:36): You no longer judge it. (00:30:41): What's in your basement? (00:30:43): I talk about the vibrational basement. (00:30:45): What's down there? (00:30:45): What's really your deep psyche, your subconscious mind? (00:30:48): What's back there that you think you don't have to deal with anymore because it's been so long. (00:30:57): It was early childhood very often because this is what happens. (00:31:01): Your core operating system is established very early in life. (00:31:06): Any psychologist will say this. (00:31:08): Your core operating system. (00:31:09): That's why they want to go back to, tell me about your childhood. (00:31:12): Tell me about the earliest thing you can remember. (00:31:14): And that's why a lot of spiritual practices will say, heal the inner child. (00:31:20): But if you're not moving into full-blown, authentic appreciation of it, it's not detuned. (00:31:31): Healing isn't enough. (00:31:34): Healing is still a band-aid. (00:31:35): Healing is, I'm going to choose to get over this and try to forget about it. (00:31:44): Forgiveness is kind of that vibration too. (00:31:45): Forgiveness is still, (00:31:47): you did something wrong to me and I'm going to choose to let you off the hook and (00:31:52): get over it for my own sake, (00:31:54): usually. (00:31:56): And it's a good thing to do. (00:31:59): But it's just a stop on the path to completely detuning something. (00:32:07): And there are things that we do this naturally with, but this is what we do. (00:32:13): Appreciation for all things. (00:32:15): Well, how in the hell do you do that? (00:32:17): And it sounds so easy. (00:32:21): But are you really doing it? (00:32:22): Are you really practicing it? (00:32:23): Are you really aware of what you need to detune? (00:32:27): Those are the questions. (00:32:29): And if you're bouncing around through spirituality because you walked away from (00:32:33): religion, (00:32:34): which is very common, (00:32:36): then you're probably going to find a lot of dead ends because there's a lot of (00:32:40): those things that are lovely for a moment. (00:32:44): And then you realize there's nothing really here for me. (00:32:51): I was deep into a very specific channel that talked a lot about law of attraction. (00:32:59): And I loved it in the beginning. (00:33:03): In the beginning, (00:33:04): music to my ears, (00:33:05): it was exactly what I had had dropping into my mind since my teens, (00:33:09): probably even before that. (00:33:11): I always say my earliest recollection of something inside me saying, (00:33:17): you are worthy, (00:33:18): you can have this. (00:33:20): I think I had to be younger than six. (00:33:25): My father left when I was six, (00:33:27): and I remember a friend coming by our house in Texas City, (00:33:31): Texas on Princeton Place. (00:33:33): Go Google that. (00:33:34): You'll see what a dump that is now. (00:33:37): What an impoverished neighborhood I was living in. (00:33:39): It was a new neighborhood back then, but it was certainly not a wealthy neighborhood. (00:33:42): And so we didn't have money. (00:33:44): And some friend of my parents came by and she had a new Lincoln, (00:33:50): Mark, (00:33:52): I'm supposed to be the car guy, (00:33:53): I should know this, (00:33:54): Mark IV, (00:33:54): early 70s. (00:33:58): And it was silver. (00:33:58): It was all silver. (00:34:00): And it had like a silver leather interior. (00:34:02): It had all these shiny buttons. (00:34:03): My parents were looking at it. (00:34:04): I was looking at it. (00:34:05): It was the nicest car I'd ever seen. (00:34:06): It had a sunroof. (00:34:07): And I was so impressed by it and so taken. (00:34:09): I've been a car person my entire life because of that moment. (00:34:12): And as she drove away, I remember my parents saying, oh, you know, must be nice. (00:34:16): We'll never have that, that sort of attitude. (00:34:19): And I remember one of my first memories was something inside me was saying, (00:34:24): don't listen to them. (00:34:26): You can have anything that you want. (00:34:29): don't listen to them. (00:34:30): And I really leaned into that voice. (00:34:35): And so listening to this channel, (00:34:41): having already been told by a psychic that I was a channel and being really freaked (00:34:44): out by that, (00:34:44): I didn't want any part of that stuff. (00:34:47): But listening to this channel made it not so weird for me. (00:34:51): And so I really listened to them all the time. (00:34:53): And (00:34:55): It wasn't that they were telling me something that I didn't already know. (00:34:58): It was more the way it was explained helped me put some puzzle pieces together. (00:35:04): But then there was this sort of a wall that it hit, (00:35:07): and it stayed in that same space, (00:35:09): and it never moved beyond that space. (00:35:12): And it was that just think about what you want, (00:35:15): never think about what you don't want, (00:35:17): raise your vibration, (00:35:19): do all of this to get your vibe high, (00:35:22): and only look forward. (00:35:24): And I knew there was more than that. (00:35:28): I knew that I had things in my vibrational basement that I had to deal with. (00:35:37): I couldn't just do that. (00:35:38): So I moved on from that. (00:35:43): And then when I started teaching this and started sharing my own version of it and (00:35:48): saying, (00:35:49): hey, (00:35:49): there's more to this and here's what it is. (00:35:50): That's where the Stream of David started. (00:35:53): And that has evolved since then as well. (00:35:56): But I started meeting people that were into these other modalities and people would (00:35:59): say, (00:35:59): oh, (00:35:59): you should read about this or try that. (00:36:02): And I would dip my toe in it for a minute and then realize, (00:36:06): okay, (00:36:07): there's nothing really here of value for me. (00:36:10): It doesn't mean that there's not value for other people, but there's nothing really here. (00:36:13): So I can understand how somebody can be spiritually exhausted because there's just so much. (00:36:20): And the energy part is, (00:36:22): the creation part, (00:36:23): the quantum physics part, (00:36:24): the part science does align with, (00:36:27): I believe is true. (00:36:29): I know it's true because I've seen it reveal itself in my life and I've seen other (00:36:32): people adopt this and it shows up in their lives. (00:36:36): At the academy level, we don't graduate anybody until it's shown up and revealed itself. (00:36:41): They know it works. (00:36:42): That's why everybody that graduates is so thrilled with what they did. (00:36:48): That part is true and that part works. (00:36:51): Everything else is a tool to use to get you there if you choose to give it power. (00:36:58): The thing about Taya is, (00:37:00): yes, (00:37:00): there's tools that help you support those four pillars, (00:37:03): but it's never anything external from you. (00:37:06): It's all about you going inward, (00:37:08): inward, (00:37:09): inward, (00:37:10): and using these tools and this mindset and the exploration of it with other people (00:37:15): because that's very helpful for anyone. (00:37:18): I'm a very self-taught person, (00:37:21): very much so, (00:37:22): but there are elements of this that I needed to confer with others and learn from (00:37:26): others to be able to really get to where I am with it. (00:37:30): And I feel like I'm very advanced. (00:37:31): In fact, I know I'm very advanced with it at this point. (00:37:37): Being spiritually exhausted in a post-COVID world is very understandable because I (00:37:42): think a lot of people had to revisit spirituality to make sense of what was going (00:37:46): on during COVID. (00:37:47): That was a very odd time for us. (00:37:51): Then that gave way to a very odd time politically. (00:37:56): In fact, they were kind of coinciding if you think about it. (00:38:01): There was so much doomsday, and we're still in this ongoing doomsday scenario. (00:38:08): But what I have found in my many years of life is that doomsday never comes. (00:38:11): It's just a threat to keep us under control. (00:38:14): And the way that I manage doomsday is we're all going to die. (00:38:23): We are all going to depart the physical experience period. (00:38:26): What happens next is a belief that you choose, (00:38:29): but we know for a fact the physical experience is going to come to a conclusion. (00:38:34): The physical vehicle will be released. (00:38:38): Whether our consciousness moves on or not is completely up to you to define. (00:38:42): I believe that it does. (00:38:43): I can reason that it does, (00:38:47): but if we know we're all going to depart, (00:38:52): why are we bothering judging that, (00:38:57): fearing that? (00:38:59): Oh, because I don't want it to happen right now. (00:39:04): Why is there a right amount of time to be on this earth? (00:39:11): because our ego wants to experience another day? (00:39:14): Of course it does. (00:39:15): That's part of its functionality. (00:39:19): But obviously, we don't all have the same experience. (00:39:26): Some don't make it out of the womb. (00:39:29): Some depart in early childhood. (00:39:31): Some depart in early adulthood. (00:39:36): I'm amazed at how many people from my high school graduating class (00:39:42): men mostly, I guess statistically that stacks up, already gone. (00:39:48): I'm turning 58, (00:39:49): and there's a good handful of guys that I went to high school with that have (00:39:52): already died, (00:39:53): and that started in our 20s, (00:39:55): and another one just died this year. (00:40:00): So there's an ideal, there's a desire, there's a preference, but the concept of fearing death is (00:40:14): What if we just choose not to fear that? (00:40:18): I promise you my authentic belief right now, (00:40:23): my authentic vibe, (00:40:26): my foundational core mindset around this is I could die tomorrow and I've lived. (00:40:38): I've had the experience. (00:40:39): I've had an experience. (00:40:41): I've had a collection of experiences, (00:40:44): as we all have, (00:40:46): and I no longer label any of them as bad or should not be or damaging or any of (00:40:52): those things. (00:40:54): My life has not been perfection, nowhere near it. (00:41:00): I'm simply not going to fear death. (00:41:03): How freeing is that not to fear death at all? (00:41:11): How freeing is it to not have that threat hanging over? (00:41:15): And then here's the thing. (00:41:19): When you detune the fear and judgment around your own demise and then start (00:41:26): detuning the fear and judgment around the ripple effect of that, (00:41:32): your kids, (00:41:32): your family, (00:41:33): your friends, (00:41:33): your partner, (00:41:34): your husband, (00:41:35): your wife, (00:41:36): whomever, (00:41:38): because they're going to have their experience. (00:41:41): all of those people are going to experience loss and sadness and setbacks and challenges. (00:41:46): All of them are. (00:41:48): And it's only our ego that thinks that we're here to be the savior of other (00:41:52): people's experiences. (00:41:57): All of this channeling that I do that has brought so much clarity that has proven (00:42:03): to be accurate and effective by many of hundreds of other people, (00:42:08): thousands of other people really, (00:42:11): None of it has ever guided me to believe that I was here to be the savior of anyone else. (00:42:19): Does my ego have a preference for everyone to be happy and healthy and successful and abundant? (00:42:24): Of course. (00:42:26): That's good ego-driven stuff, right? (00:42:28): We want to live another day. (00:42:30): We want to have more fun. (00:42:31): We want to have more of the things that we enjoy, right? (00:42:34): Of course we do, but I'm able to categorize my ego in its proper place. (00:42:43): That's my ego. (00:42:45): I understand my ego's desire to have a joyful day, (00:42:48): to live in appreciation, (00:42:50): to laugh and have fun and experience all of the things that I prefer in life and (00:42:54): keep it going. (00:42:55): I know that's my ego. (00:42:56): That's great. (00:42:57): It's a great mechanism that we all have. (00:43:00): One of the things about spirituality that drives me crazy is these people that say (00:43:03): they have an ego death and they don't have an ego anymore. (00:43:05): I always think there's nothing more egotistical than thinking that you don't have (00:43:08): an ego anymore. (00:43:12): That's the ego portion of us, (00:43:15): but we don't have to make that our key driver of our operating system. (00:43:20): That other part of us that very much overshadowed in our current day reality part (00:43:28): of us that we're all rediscovering, (00:43:30): that part of us is not saying we're supposed to be the savior of other people. (00:43:39): When I observe something, (00:43:41): that other people are saying is tragic or should not be, (00:43:45): and we all have plenty of that fed to us all the time. (00:43:47): I don't even have to give you an example. (00:43:48): I'm sure you've already thought of one. (00:43:51): I have my mind trained now to, (00:43:53): instead of racing to an opinion, (00:43:57): which is what the matrix wants, (00:43:59): take a side, (00:44:00): be divided, (00:44:00): live in fear, (00:44:01): period. (00:44:03): I don't react that way. (00:44:04): And if I do, I want to explore that really quickly. (00:44:07): Oh, here's something new to explore. (00:44:08): Here's something to explore that triggered me a little bit. (00:44:11): What the hell's going on down there? (00:44:12): What can I work on? (00:44:15): But most of the time, it's not that. (00:44:17): Most of the time is, okay, here's the perspective from over here, and here's that perspective. (00:44:22): Here's what's going on. (00:44:23): I can see this very clearly now, (00:44:24): and I understand that anything that I'm observing, (00:44:27): there is an energy present that is consistent across all players, (00:44:32): even though they look like they're opposing. (00:44:40): That is a superpower. (00:44:43): I'm not being arrogant saying that because it's a superpower that I know we can all (00:44:47): adopt if we choose to. (00:44:52): It takes time and effort, absolutely. (00:44:55): This is not a place that I arrived at overnight. (00:44:58): Absolutely, I did not. (00:44:59): It takes time and effort and a desire to operate your life from a higher plane of (00:45:07): emotional intelligence to be able to process life that way. (00:45:16): So I don't mind calling it elite emotional mastery. (00:45:20): It doesn't mean I'm superior, (00:45:21): anybody superior that's doing this because part of it is understanding that (00:45:25): everyone's having their journey, (00:45:27): their experience. (00:45:29): And so the people that are heavily triggered, most of society, they're having their experience. (00:45:36): They're doing that. (00:45:36): I've been there. (00:45:37): I've done that. (00:45:38): I've been them. (00:45:38): I would be a hypocrite to say that they're wrong and shouldn't be doing that or (00:45:42): that I'm better than them. (00:45:43): I'm having a different experience. (00:45:46): That's part of the elite emotional mastery is understanding what we mean by elite. (00:45:51): It is rare, but it is something that's available to everybody. (00:45:55): Are we choosing the path? (00:45:58): I want to talk to the people and associate with the people that are choosing that path. (00:46:04): Those are interesting conversations. (00:46:07): They're stimulating to me. (00:46:09): I don't care what the real housewives of so-and-so are doing. (00:46:12): I've been there. (00:46:13): I've done that. (00:46:13): I've watched that. (00:46:14): I've done all of these things. (00:46:16): I've done all of those things. (00:46:16): It just doesn't interest me anymore. (00:46:18): I don't care what's happening in pop culture. (00:46:20): I'll talk about it a little bit. (00:46:21): It's interesting to a point, (00:46:22): but generally, (00:46:24): I really enjoy talking to people with this leading-edge mindset of, (00:46:28): wow, (00:46:29): Where could humanity go if we really did start solving things energetically and (00:46:35): efficiently instead of hammering away at something in fear and judgment, (00:46:39): noticing that it's not doing a damn thing? (00:46:44): That's what I like to talk about. (00:46:47): But if the idea of authentic appreciation of all things lights you up, (00:46:55): wow, (00:46:55): I want to be able to process things without being emotionally triggered. (00:47:00): I want to be able to respond to life when the shit hits the fan. (00:47:06): I open that email or that letter or get that news or that phone call or that text (00:47:11): and something unimaginable has happened or something that's potentially very scary (00:47:17): may be about to happen. (00:47:22): I not only want to be able to keep my shit together in that moment, but (00:47:27): I want to be able to just have the experience without fearing and judging it and it (00:47:35): really disrupting my energy. (00:47:40): I am better when my vibration is high. (00:47:44): We all are. (00:47:46): But you don't get there by falsely raising your vibration and trying to hold it (00:47:51): there all the time. (00:47:53): That's what a lot of other (00:47:56): teachers are teaching. (00:47:58): What happens when you do that is you get an inevitable crash because all of those (00:48:04): things that you ignore are building up momentum and they're building up pressure (00:48:10): and they're going to erupt at some point. (00:48:13): And you don't want that point to be when you need to have your wits about you most (00:48:18): in a crisis and (00:48:22): We all face crisis at least a few times in our lives in some way. (00:48:28): How are you showing up for yourself in those crisis moments? (00:48:33): If your ego is wanting you to show up for others, how are you able to do that? (00:48:39): Are you processing? (00:48:41): If you own a business or if you're running a big company or you have a lot of (00:48:44): responsibility, (00:48:47): are you terrified of something going wrong? (00:48:53): Or are you able to meet that calmly and navigate a massive challenge that you've (00:49:00): given a lot of power to, (00:49:01): that perhaps a lot of people give power to? (00:49:05): Are you able to navigate that calmly, which leads you to your own brand of wisdom? (00:49:13): You've got your wits about you because you're not freaking out. (00:49:17): You're not scared. (00:49:20): And by the way, this is also the thing that helps you take risks in life. (00:49:26): Can you step out and take that big risk? (00:49:29): Because failure isn't something that instills fear. (00:49:36): The concept of losing it all or backtracking or even plateauing. (00:49:43): Are you able to do that? (00:49:47): Are you able to reconcile that when something fails or doesn't work out, (00:49:51): that that's not the end of it? (00:49:54): That is just an indicator of where you are in your process of creation, (00:49:58): and you can move through that and forward, (00:50:01): even if you don't know how. (00:50:05): That's why emotional mastery is so important and so valuable. (00:50:12): Not many people will choose what (00:50:15): to explore at that level and that's why it's elite. (00:50:22): The way that you apply it and explore it is by choosing to adopt a system that (00:50:31): allows you to make this your new way of life for the rest of your days. (00:50:38): The system that you create with these tools is what gives you the power to shift (00:50:45): your emotional reaction. (00:50:46): You work on these things before you're in the crisis. (00:50:50): I promise you then when you are in the crisis, (00:50:52): they will show up for you because you've done the work. (00:50:58): The only way you're ever going to know if it works is when you stress test it in real time. (00:51:06): And no matter where you are on the scale of, (00:51:09): okay, (00:51:09): I reacted a lot better than I would not long ago, (00:51:12): or I reacted completely different than I would, (00:51:14): that's just where you are in your process. (00:51:18): That's good feedback. (00:51:20): Okay, you've got more work to do. (00:51:23): I don't think the work ever ends. (00:51:24): In fact, I love the work. (00:51:26): To do this operating system, you've got to love it. (00:51:28): You can't just install an operating system and forget about it. (00:51:32): How would our computers act today if we just installed an operating system and (00:51:37): never updated it, (00:51:38): upgraded it? (00:51:39): They're being stress tested all the time, right? (00:51:41): They're continually being upgraded and updated and then there's updates that don't (00:51:45): work or there's aspects that don't, (00:51:47): that need tweaks. (00:51:49): That's why I call this an operating system. (00:51:51): You've got to be ready for that to do this. (00:51:53): And most people simply aren't. (00:51:55): And that's okay. (00:51:57): That's okay. (00:51:59): So an advanced operating system for life that produces elite emotional mastery. (00:52:08): And very often it is for people who have already moved through and experienced (00:52:13): spirituality to the point where perhaps they're exhausted of it and they want to (00:52:18): know what of this really works, (00:52:19): if anything. (00:52:21): What can I apply and choose to give power to that I don't have to pretend doesn't exist? (00:52:29): I don't have to hide it. (00:52:31): I can talk to colleagues about it proudly. (00:52:38): As we've evolved at the academy level, (00:52:41): in the early days, (00:52:42): there were people showing up to do the work that would say, (00:52:45): I can't talk about this publicly. (00:52:47): Nobody that I know can know that I'm doing this. (00:52:50): And today it's very different. (00:52:51): The people that show up today say, I don't care what anybody thinks about this. (00:52:53): This works for me. (00:52:54): So I'm going to do it. (00:52:55): If somebody asks me, I'll tell them about it, but I'm not going to hide from it. (00:52:59): I'm not going to be ashamed of it. (00:53:00): You know, it shows how much we've evolved as a community in the Taya community. (00:53:05): Now that nobody is bothering to hide this or pretend like they're not doing it. (00:53:10): They're not necessarily out shouting it from the rooftops. (00:53:12): There's, you know, again, we're not preaching this because this isn't for most people. (00:53:16): Most people are nowhere near this in their journey. (00:53:20): They're not. (00:53:21): They're not ready for it. (00:53:24): They're still stuck a little bit in victimhood or a little bit in waiting for some (00:53:28): magical savior to come along or waiting for guidance from something external. (00:53:33): They're just not here yet in their journey. (00:53:37): And this has never been for that. (00:53:40): We don't need another one of those. (00:53:42): There's plenty of people out there doing that sort of work. (00:53:45): I've always been about what is the leading edge? (00:53:47): What's after that? (00:53:48): What's next? (00:53:49): We are evolutionary beings. (00:53:51): What's the forefront of thought? (00:53:52): That's where I want to be. (00:53:56): That's why we are always evolving. (00:53:59): The four pillars have worked now for years. (00:54:02): That has proven to be true, that those four things are canon and they work. (00:54:05): But how we think about it, (00:54:06): how we apply it, (00:54:08): how we're communicating it, (00:54:10): that's never going to stop evolving because we don't stop evolving. (00:54:16): Thanks for listening. (00:54:18): That's it for today. (00:54:20): Taya is a system of elite emotional mastery. (00:54:23): The work lives at TayaAcademy.com. (00:54:26): That's T-Y-A-Academy.com. (00:54:29): I'll leave it there.
