Summer McStravick talks with Gary Temple Bodley, a former property developer who now channels a non-physical intelligence named Joshua. They discuss how vibration and limiting beliefs shape your reality, and what Joshua says about personal transformation.
Gary Temple Bodley is an ex property developer turned channeler. His arc from just a very normal guy into a voice for the non physical intelligences known as Joshua is really a remarkable story. And the appearance of Joshua in today's episode is just as remarkable as well. Their practical teachings provide a greater understanding of the mechanism of physical reality, the law of attraction, and how to leverage universal forces to enhance our lives. And today, Joshua explains the true nature of vibration, what it is, how it works, and they share the importance of inspiration as your soul's breadcrumb trail. And finally, they look deeply into what we all know of as lack thinking or limiting beliefs. It's a truly wonderful conversation and I'm glad you're here to join me. Flow Dreaming still kinda Woo Woo is just what it sounds like. An escape into the world of woo. Also a ride into you and how to feel happier, wiser and more self aware in every way. It's your ultimate journey into personal growth and inner power. We'll explore ideas like how your energy self influences the kinds of opportunities you encounter, or how your personal growth can drive your business growth, or even how that feeling of being stuck is really always coming from something else. We just have to figure out what. That's right. We're a dash of woo woo. A sprinkle of self care, a heap of problem solving and pattern busting, and a giant cup of encouragement. We're going to relight so much passion, purpose, self love and confidence in you that you practically stagger. I'm Summer McStravik, your host and welcome to Florida Dreaming still kind of woo woo.

It's so good to talk with you again.
Hi, Summer. It's great to see you too. Thanks for having me.
Yeah, yeah. And, and for anybody who is saying, again, wait, I haven't met this man before I met him. He had me on his podcast very recently. So go check that out. It debuted on July 17th and you can find his podcast called Joshua Live or An Unimaginable Life. Joshua Live.
Well, no, it's two podcasts. An Unimaginable Life is Christy and I together? Christy's a sister.
Oh, okay. All right. I didn't realize you had two.
Yep. And I channeled Joshua through Josh Joshua Live, and that's where they can find our call.
Great. Well, I want to just dive right in. I've already said a few words about you to everybody. I'm very excited that we get to talk with Joshua and so, you know, just kind of let that roll as it is. But before we do, tell me a little about you, like how did this happen to you? Why did this happen to you? What did you think when this began happening to you? Let me know.
Okay. I was in real estate in. I was investor, happily married, living in Florida, lived there for most of my life, enjoying life. And then 2008 came along, lost everything and our house went into foreclosure. We moved into a friend's house. And so it's first time, you know, we're living in a different house. Turned out to be a fantastic, beautiful house in a beautiful area and beautiful view and all that. Turned out to be great. But at the time I thought, oh my God, my life has ended last. My business lost everything. So starting over, a friend of ours, another friend, brought over the Secret. And so Lily and I listened to the Secret over and over and over again. And then in our own library was Abraham Hicks asking us, given that cd. So we listened to that over and over again and then booked a. Went to one of the big retreat things, not retreat, but web workshops. And it was a two day workshop. So it's a full day Saturday, a full day Sunday in Asheville. And at that retreat, I found a passion. It just a series of events happened and soon after that, my wife found her passion. And my passion really was two things was playing professional poker and I did not expect that. Renovating houses, right? And so it was just so much fun because before, I had a lot of employees, I had three big companies. I had this whole thing working out of an office my whole life. Now I'm working out of home. I'm buying these houses. I have crews fixing them up. I go check on them in the mornings, and in the afternoons, I go to a great poker room nearby, and I just start playing tournament poker. And this had a thrill. And so my life is carefree and easy, and so everything's going great, and we. And moving into another house in Palm Beach. We always wanted to live in Palm beach just from this starting. To listen to Abraham, Things just get flow and flow and flow. And then one day, my wife says, it's time for us to buy another house. And I say, we can't buy another house. We have no credit. We've got foreclosures, all this stuff. She says, well, check for owner financing. Well, I'm a realtor for many years, and this is crazy. People don't finance their own homes. And she says, just check. So it was her inspiration. So I reluctantly look it up, and there's one house in the area that we want to live in that needs total renovation, which is what we want. That was a great price and owner financing to 95% with a great rate. Right. The man had actually been raised as a kid in that house, and he inherited from his parents, and it needed a lot of work. And so he financed the house for us. We became friends with him, and we turn, you know, Lily, as an interior designer, turned this house into a dream house. It ended up being, you know, he had a coffee table magnet book, you know, one of those things. And in that house, I got the inspiration to start meditating. Well, I've been doing Abraham, and we've been doing some stuff like that, but I was not into meditating. I didn't want to do it. But the inspiration came. Jerry Seinfeld was doing a lot of other people just happened to be, you know, shown to me. So we use the Abraham meditations that we. You know, it was very hard at first, but soon, you know, I got into it. And then I started feeling a presence or a sensation on the side of my head. It was like a hand inside my skin moving around in my skull. And I don't know. Is this a side effect of meditation? I have no idea what it is, but it comes every time I start, and it goes away every time I'm done. And so one day, it's there. And I just got the thought to ask, who is this? Because up until this point I've been sort of asking questions to it and these answers would come to me. I knew it wasn't me and I assumed it was from some presence that was in my head while I'm meditating. And it was like I was in the hot seat at Abraham or something. And so one day I just asked, who is it? And they said, we are Joshua. I didn't believe it. I told Lily about it. She said, that's cool. I thought it was the weirdest thing in the world. I never heard of this before. And then it kept happening. And then one day, it was November 15, 2013. They said, get up and go write. Right? Right. So I went to my computer, closed the door in my office, just started typing and I typed for about 40 minutes straight, just flowing this nonsense coming out of me. And it turned out to be the introduction for the first book, A Perception of Reality. So I printed out. I showed Lily. Our friends came for dinner, the friend that Deborah Jo, who gave us the secret. And they're reading and they're like, this is amazing. And I'm like, I don't know what this is. And so I get back the next day, type for half an hour. I'm still doing houses, still playing poker. Just a half an hour, 45 minutes a day, every day. I didn't miss one day. In eight weeks, I have this 300 page book finished. And during that time we had met other people that were interested in Law of Attraction. So I'm sending that to them. It sounds like gibberish as it's coming through and as I'm reading back, it goes, well, this is pretty interesting. And I still didn't really understand it. And so by the time we get to the end of it, everyone's getting these dailies emailed to them and everyone's bummed because it's done. But the next day, the next book starts. Health, wealth and love. And eight weeks later, that book's done. So in 16 weeks, I've got two completed 300 page books. And then I just send them out to people. And then I get on Law of Attraction Radio Network and I. They invite me on the Law of Attraction cruise and people start finding me. And I started. By then I was just doing every. All the channeling by typing, by writing. And then on that Lava Traction cruise, I was hypn. Hypnotized and Joshua comes through. And so ever since then I was able to speak Jules Johnson, who's CEO of Live Attraction Radio Network, she's a hypnotist and she hypnotized me and allowed Joshua to come through and speaking. Well, that's nine, 10 years ago now. And since then we've done two, we had two podcasts and it's gone crazy. And now there's five books and tons of events and tons of retreats and tons of people doing all the different courses that we have. It's just turned into this thing that at the time I thought it was the weirdest thing in the world. In fact, I thought the only channel in the world was Esther. And I'm like, how could it be me? You know? And then over the course of that 10 years, I've had so many experiences just showing me I was born, like we're all born for something. This was my soul's journey, my, you know, path of self discovery. And just one experience after another experience after another experience, you know, led to this elevation of me understanding who I am and my role in this and the non physical side and all that. So it's been absolutely crazy.
Yeah. Your story reminds me so much of, you know, my own, which I shared with you already, that, that moment I call the come to Jesus moment, which is, am I really doing this? Wait a minute. Almost like a lightning rod, you know, you discover that you're a lightning rod and then you, you just like, oh, I'm just going to bring this down and through because there's nothing else I can do with all of this. I have to do this. And interestingly, I didn't tell you before, my mom had a very similar experience and she began bringing through what she calls the God is always happy material, which I, I fail to talk about often enough. But she has a. Two CDs. I mean she's got a full, she's in her 80s now, or almost 80s, so you know, she can't really get out there and promote it. But it's a similar sensation. Like we found you, we're going to dump all of this through you, like it or not. Get ready, buckle up, here it goes. But you.
Here's what I think about channeling. I think that everyone can channel. It's a basic empathic ability that we are channeling. Anyone who's ever written a book is channeled that book. You know, any written a song or done anything, it's all, it's all coming through anyway. You just don't realize where it's coming from. But as you start to, you know, shift your perspective about yourself and what's possible. In my case, it started with Abraham, and I was. I had so much experience with Abraham that it, like, led me into a vibration where I meditated and they came through. I happened to be in the position where it's easy for me to write, it's easy for me to have time. I didn't take it seriously. I didn't need to make money on it. I didn't care, and I was just doing it for fun. Well, as we do work with everyone, what we're finding is that. That as people do the same thing and shift their perspective, they start free writing, they start journaling, they start to be Claire cognizant. All these empathic abilities come online, but it's never the one you think you want. No one's ever gotten their empathic bill and said, oh, yeah, I want to be this, like, my friend Chris, the most normal guy in the world. He's gone through our boot camp, and I. I met him here in town, and great guy, totally normal guy. He speaks light language, and it just came out of him. We've seen this a lot of people, and so he's part of our activation. So it's Christy, Chris, and Crystal, and the three of them do these activations, and hundreds of people have gone through them, but Chris does them in. He speaks dragon language. Okay, that's the weirdest thing in the history of the world. It's still weird to me after going through all these activations.
Oh, hold on, hold on, Gary. Yeah, dragon language. I literally was sitting down with one of my own friends and clients last night for about three hours, and she is talking to me about the animal. The animal, human consciousness. I don't say hybrid, but literally that all of these animal, like dragons or fish or other creatures are all kind of stepping in to kind of help the humans right now. So this is right on point, what's happening around me right now. So dragons. Bring it on.
I would not want to speak dragon language because it is so strange, but people love it, and it just flows out of them. And so these light languages we learn are the soul language, depending on where. What realm you're from. And so some might sound angelic. Christy is angelic, and some might sound like Native American. And so now all these people, when they're going through the activations, they do. They start, you know, responding to this by speaking some form of light language. And so I'm looking this up on TikTok, and it's everywhere. And we did a. We did a dead Talk with Princess. And so I asked Prince what would have, what could you, could you have put light language in the recordings? And he said, yeah, it would have been very beneficial. But back at the time it would have been, people would have gotten into it and gotten really scared by it. So it wasn't the right time for it. But now, I mean, it really is the leading edge. But just your empathic ability is what it is. And it only serves you if you get out of this illusion of fear and start seeing yourself as the creator of your reality and having fun with it and not worrying about it. But Chrissy is a full on unbelievable psychic and all. She has all kinds of powers that came two and a half years ago. Right. She's in her 50s now. And suddenly this ability came out of the blue. And it's like you're seeing this happening all the time. It's not an unusual thing anymore. On TikTok, you can see empaths talking all the time. It's really interesting. But back 10 years ago, I thought it was crazy.
Yeah. You wouldn't believe how many people right now are listening going, please, I would love it. I've just been praying for something like this to happen to me. You're so lucky.
Yeah, but again, it's not going to be what you want.
Yeah, it's not going to be what you want, but it'll probably happen. You just keep that focus. And for anybody who doesn't know what light language is, because it is a term that's kind of really risen up quickly. It's sort of like speaking in tongues is more, more traditional religion, but it's, it's the same concept. It's just no longer locked into more, you know, traditional religions.
Yeah, well, we've discovered by it, apparently it speaks directly to the soul or to the essence, to the DNA, to the cells of the body. You get more information downloaded. It's a combination of words of power, the light language, certain frequencies that go with that, visuals that they do. And all you do is you close, you know, you wear blindfold. It lasts less than an hour. And people's shifts are crazy. A lot of what's happening is they're releasing trapped emotional energy that's been stored in the body through trauma or even, you know, just being really sensitive and emotional and that can't get released any other way. So it, the activations tend to release this stuff and people have like little sniffles and colds or little headaches or, or coughs or, you know, some other thing will happen. And they feel so much better after it. And then the beliefs open up. The belief system is the thing that keeps us limiting. Everything that we believe about ourselves is not true. It's just a very limited. And what it does, it limits your experience of life because by holding on to a very strong identity, you have a firm list of, I can't do that, I shouldn't do that, I won't do that, because that's not who I am. You expand that identity, and now you have many more options available to you. And when you open the beliefs, at the same time, you see yourself from a higher perspective. And this allows you to realize certain opportunities that are coming to you and invitations. And you're able to push past fear a lot easier. What I've learned over this last 11 years is that there is a physical density layer on Earth and it's actually pressure. And those who are most in fear are living at a density that is very slow. Nothing manifests quickly because they're looking at everything as if it's wrong or bad or evil or whatever.
Yeah.
Grinding, grinding. And nothing really happens. As you shift your perspective of yourself just by seeing yourself as the creator of your reality, not the victim, to what's going on, as things are working out for you, not happening to you, you begin to rise out of these densities and it becomes faster, easier, lighter, clearer. You have more clarity. This illusion of separation that causes all fear is not as intense as you move up. And this is what we're all here, you and I, and, and those who are, you know, have, you know, living life in a new way are becoming examples of how easy life could be if you just reframe your perspective from the victim to the creator. And then that allows you to go on this journey to discover more about what it means to be the creator of your reality, which is completely different than you think in the beginning. We all get into it going, I'm going to learn how to be the creator of my reality so that I can create better feeling conditions outside of me, so I can change things. That's not how it works. You become the creator of your reality by creating inner peace and joy and looking at things a different way. And then the reality reflects that.
I was going to ask you to share, you know, a couple of the core teachings of Joshua, but I think you may have just done so. That's what I hear.
Well, I'll. I'll tell you the first words that were ever written. The first sentence is, everything is right. There's no wrong anywhere in the universe. Anything seen as wrong comes from a limited perspective, but from a higher perspective, whether that's after a bit of time's gone by or. Or from the non physical, everything is always, always right. Okay. So there is no right wrong. There's no good or bad news. No. It is subjective based in your perspective. You change that perspective, you change those beliefs, and then your reality looks completely different and feels different.
And it is a very radical perspective to say that, because people will challenge. Wait a minute, Murder that. What do you mean? That's nothing wrong with that. And it's like we have to redefine the terms and sort of reinterpret even what we're. Even the words that we're using, you know? God, Gary, I'm gonna send you my mom's channeled material because I am just. It's like I'm in an echo chamber right here between the two of you. It's amazing. I had no idea. Yeah. No idea. Wow. Okay. Do you feel now would be a good time to bring Joshua on?
Yes. Perfect. What I'll do is I'll, you know, set my intention stuff, be quiet for about 30 seconds. They'll come on and say, we're thrilled to be here. And then they'll. They'll go into a few minutes of saying something, and then you can just ask anything you want to ask.
Okay. And I'm going to go into MySpace too, which means I'm not going to be looking at you as we're recording this anymore because I find it to be very distracting to where I want to be. So we're both. No, you're lovely. I find that I tune in better and I want to ask the best questions. So I'm also gonna go and meet you halfway.
Okay. Right where you are.
But I'm gonna get as close as I can tiptoe.
Okay. I'll go get them. So here we go.
Yeah. Please invite them in on our behalf.
We're thrilled to be here.
I love it. I'm thrilled that you're here as well.
We want you to know. We want you to know that it's our great pleasure to be with you. We want you to understand just who you truly are and what you're doing and how you. Your effect on this world and the mass consciousness is rippling out from a center place of your heart. Joy, knowing who you are, knowing what you're interested in, following that trail, being open to what's happening. What you are doing here is far more effective than anything you can imagine. It's not changing anything that you think it should change. It's not correcting any wrongs or. Or solving any problems. It's just the vibration of love. You by putting yourself forward as you are, by doing what you're inspired to do, by sharing what you've learned, by bringing in ideas and thoughts from your inner self, and by expressing love through opening up this dialogue with us and others and sharing your techniques and your insights into how to live this life in joy. You can't imagine the ripples that are affecting the mass consciousness at this time of awakening. It is no accident that you're here. It's no accident that you had that mother. It's no accident that your belief system has risen to this level. It's no accident that you're emotionally sensitive. It's no accident that any of your life has ever happened any other way than perfect. Because there are no accidents. There is no luck. Nothing is random. Everything is always working out for your benefit and the benefit of those around you. By doing what you know you want to do, what gives you joy, what thrills you and excites you, and by pushing past fear to take the action and have the experiences. You are a beaming example of light for billions of that you have no idea who they are and will never meet. Your leadership and faith and confidence and ability to communicate as you do and share that communication with others is your soul's path is what you intended to explore in this lifetime. And you're doing it perfectly. There is nothing you need change. It is playing out exactly as you intended. And when you return to the non physical, you'll see that now. You'll see it. Obviously there'll be no illusion in the way, no fear. But you can endeavor to do whatever you want to do and know that the only limitation is that which you've imposed on yourself through a belief system that you picked up along the way. But as you open that belief system, you'll receive more inspiration and there'll be less fear popping up to stop you from acting on that inspiration. Know that there's no outcome that needs to be completed or achieved and there is no ideal in your mind that needs to manifest the universe. Your inner self, Your guides and supporters are all guiding you to the most elegant manifestation of the life of your dreams. But you can't see it now because where you exist now compared to where you will be is a limited perspective. As you open that perspective, you will begin to see it and allow it to flow into you more effortlessly than you can possibly imagine. By seeing yourself from a higher perspective as the creator of your reality, that there is no wrong anywhere in the universe, and that by looking at things that you previously thought were wrong and just saying, how could they possibly be right? By looking at those things from a higher perspective, you'll give yourself ease and you'll maintain focus on what you want, not what needs to be corrected or changed or improved. Somehow you're doing everything right. Every experience you've ever had was the experience you needed so that you could be here now doing what you intended to do. And with that, we'd like to talk to you about any thought, anything you'd like to talk about. Where would you like to start?
Thank you. Oh, there's so many directions here. This idea that we're all exactly where we need to be and that there is a kind of awakening going on. I know just from a big perspective view right now a lot of people are feeling like the world is sort of coming apart, and there's a lot of fear and density. What is your perspective on our very current state of affairs as people, as a world evolving?
There are two ways to look at any specific thing. You can look at it from a limited perspective where you have very little information, and from that limited perspective, you'll primarily be interested in making sure that you're okay. When we say you're okay, that includes everyone you know, everyone you're close to, everyone you love. The reason you want everything and everyone around you to be okay is you don't want to go through the experience that you deem from that perspective to be wrong or bad or painful or hurtful, or lead you into something you don't want. But you must remember, this universe does not make mistakes. Your inner self does not make mistakes. You cannot make a mistake. You cannot fail. Every experience that you will ever have has the benefit to lead you to a higher perspective of yourself. If you see the experiences as good and right and perfect and beneficial to all around you, you'll be in the vibration that will allow you to accept the true information regarding that experience. If you're looking at from a limited perspective, perceiving that experience outside of you can make you feel something. Then, because you're emotionally sensitive, you will want to guard yourself from experiences in this. You want to change, control, improve, fix problems outside of you. But every single thing outside of you, every hair in your head, every blade of grass, every sand on the beach, grain of sand, everything is in its perfect place for you specifically to live the life as you intended. Enjoy it's. Just that you can't see it from a limited perspective because you're believing that the conditions do make you feel something instead of beliefs being triggered that cause fear and correspond to a fear based emotion. So imagine you're walking down the street, some crazy blue haired person says your sunglasses are ugly, you do not care, it means nothing to you. You look at that person with empathy and you understand that they have something going on in their life. Your mother in law says the same thing and it triggers a belief, a belief that your mother in law should like you. You need her respect, you need her admiration, you need her to think of you in a certain way and that it matters what she says. That's the only reason you feel negative emotion, because that belief causes you to perceive that her opinion matters has some bearing on your life, some effect on how happy you can be. But in essence, it's just an event that shows you that you have a belief, a belief that's limiting. Now that limiting belief is keeping you actually physically limited. You won't act on certain information, you won't act on certain inspiration. You won't act to take advantage of experiences that will lead you to the life that you truly want to live. Because you're concerned about what your mother in law says. Every inspiration you receive because you care what she thinks, you'll have to say, well, if I act on that inspiration, it might lead to her disapproval. And so I don't want to risk that, so I'm not going to act. Well, the inspiration to act is the idea coming from your inner self that will lead you into an experience that will help you see yourself as more. And this is a game of a shifting perspective, moving from a limited perspective to higher and higher and higher perspectives. As you shift your perspective of yourself away from this idea that the outside conditions can make you feel something and you need to control them, to the idea that you are the creator of your reality and that your reality is simply a reflection of how you feel about yourself right now. As you feel better and better and better about yourself, as you process limiting beliefs, as you take more action, as you have more experiences, as you shift that perspective of yourself higher and higher and higher, the reality changes to reflect that vibration. That's what's actually happening here. The default perception of humans in this reality is that outside conditions have an effect on how they feel. They want to have control over how they feel. And so it seems to them, by controlling the outside conditions, they will feel better. But there is no way to control that which is a perfect reflection to the vibration you're offering without altering it, altering that vibration yourself. It's inside work. It's your beliefs about yourself in your reality. If you believe you can't do something, that belief is limiting you. If you believe you can do something, that belief is empowering you. If you modulate your set of beliefs about yourself from limiting to empowering, you open up a radical field of opportunities that will lead you to more joy, more self discovery, more clarity, into higher, lighter, easier, faster densities and into the life of joy that you intended to live.
Okay, on the same note, if a person, I'm. By the way, I'm obsessed by this conversation around fear and lack thoughts or limiting thoughts. And when I've spoken and worked with many, many people, they'll say, I want to quit my job as an accountant and become an artist. I want to write books. I want to basically drop a route that became safe or that they felt was going to materially support them, but they feel that they can't. And I said, why can't you? And they say, because when I tried before, I believed in it and it didn't work out. So what, what do you say to somebody who wants to get rid of that limiting belief, but they've somehow had it proven to themselves that they're right in thinking that's not the line of work for me or the destiny for me, or the kind of partnership that I'll ever get. What do you tell somebody who's at that frustrated point?
This reality is designed to provide you with anything you want, anything at all, any possibility. But you must make the journey. The transformation from the vibration that you're emitting right now that causes this reality to form around you. If you don't like anything in this reality, why don't you like it? Because something about it triggers a belief and you feel fear. If you had no limiting beliefs, you would have no fear. You would never feel negative emotion. It would be impossible. You could not see the bad or wrong in anything. There'd be no need to protect yourself. And your reality would form around that. You have coming in a vibration that's full of the intentions you set prior to your birth. So you will experience everything you intended to experience. How you, the human experiences those things depends on your perspective of yourself. If you believe that that job that you hate is providing you security, you are perceiving that you, the human, are controlling this reality, not that your vibration is creating the reality. That's just a misunderstanding of how the system works. You are the creator of your reality. And you can't not be the creator of your reality. You can't be the victim of this reality unless you perceive that outside conditions can make you feel something. So if you want something, you can have, be, or do anything, but you first have to be it, and then you have to do, and then you'll have it. You'll have to go on a journey that transforms the vibration you're offering now into a more broader, wider open, some would say higher vibration that meets the equivalent of that thing you want. If you are an accountant and you want to be an artist, it's an internal journey, an internal transformation from that who's doing something that causes them to believe that they're having some sort of security from it to that who needs no security other than the security of knowing that you're fully supported by your inner self guidance, border source itself, that the universe is creating the conditions based in your vibration. Can you see that? You would have to adjust your belief system, your mental construct, from the accountant eking out a certain amount of salary, living in a certain lifestyle, needing to be admired by neighbors and loved ones and friends and family, to one who doesn't care about anything other than art, who doesn't need any of the accolades or achievements or status or like love and respect from others, who doesn't need a consistent paycheck, who doesn't need to believe that security is based in a certain amount of income. That's a transformation. You can have this as long as you're willing to go on the journey to adjust your beliefs to become that which you want. Now, the wonderful thing about this process is that your inner self, guides and supporters are. Are fully behind you on anything you want, because this is a transformational journey. You are transforming your identity for the identity of an accountant to the identity of an artist. You don't just take the accountant with those belief systems and put them in front of a canvas. They won't have the flow of ideas and thoughts and inspiration coming through them. They won't know which courses to take, which gallery owners to talk to, what to price things for. That's the artist. That's a different vibration, a different perspective. So what the inner self does is drop breadcrumbs along a trail that will naturally transform the accountant into the artist, and that's inspiration. So as this accountant acts on inspired ideas and has experiences, they start to see how they could be this artist. They get to see examples of other people who were accountants, who've become artists. They have Conversations, they listen to podcasts. They get inspired to buy these books, to watch these videos. All these experiences happen. They don't read a book how an accountant can be an artist that's passive. They have to have experiences. Of course, the learning is great because it sets up the framework to have the experience and receive the inspiration. But they have to go on that journey. The inner self is never going to snap its fingers and produce an artist out of an accountant. There's no journey of self discovery there. This is what this earth reality is, is forgetting who you are and feeling separate. And as you go on a journey from not thinking of yourself so much and feeling like an outcast and not fitting in to becoming whoever you want to be, it's by altering beliefs that are not true, limiting beliefs and adopting more and more empowering beliefs. And that is a shift in vibration. The vibration of the artist who was an accountant is much different than the accountant who wants to be an artist.
That makes sense. Is there any way to provide a little kindling for that inspiration?
You have interests and passions. Many people may not say, I can't find my passion in this life. Well, that's because you are firmly saying, I can't. You have an inspired idea and instantly you knock it away by saying, that's not me. I can't do that. That'll never happen. I don't want to put myself out there. I don't want to do these things. What if I happen to go into some experience and something happens and I feel negative emotion? I don't want to fail. I don't want to lose. I don't want people to think I'm made a mistake. I want to be good. I want to maintain what I have. These are all things that are keeping you in place. And it's just an accumulation of beliefs that are not true. From experiences you had as a child, from what you were taught in school, from what your parents and grandparents taught you to what society taught you, all beliefs that are not true, just limiting. So here's how we would go about it. We get the inspiration, some interest in subject. We notice the fear that pops up. Oh, that's not going to be any good. That's going to be a waste of money to buy that book. I don't have time to watch that video. I don't think this podcast is going to lead me anywhere. And we notice that that is fear. Those thoughts are just fear. Those thoughts are coming from a belief system. The belief is generating those thoughts. The belief itself is responsible for those Thoughts, find that belief. Why do I think I can't do it? Why do I think it'll be a waste of time? Why do I think that would be a waste of money? Why do I think I care what other people think? Why do I think that failure is a bad thing? Why do I think experience is a bad thing? Why do I think negative emotion is a bad thing? Why do I want to play it safe? Why do I need to feel secure? Why can I open my belief system and follow this trail of breadcrumbs that I'm interested in? You see, your inner self will only give you inspiration that you can actually do in that moment. And so whenever you receive inspiration, it's not to do this thing you're inspired to do. It's not the end result. It's the thing you can do at the moment. So if you receive the inspiration to take a trip to Paris, it's not to take out your checkbook, write a check, get in the plane, fly to Paris that minute. It's to get interested. It watch a video about Paris, talk to a friend who's been there. What can you do in that moment? If you can get good at taking little actions on inspiration that comes to you, you'll soon find yourself on a trail that builds momentum. By taking that first step, that little tiny first step, you build confidence, and that confidence builds momentum. So it's easier and easier and easier to take these little steps. And soon enough you'll be in a place where you can take a big step because you've done all the vibrational work through all these little steps, and you'll be prepared.
That makes perfect sense. It, it follows along a philosophy. I always say, take the, the value of tiny steps. Like just make, just take tiny, tiny steps, and it will still get you there as much as if you were running. So to go back to vibration, because you, you've used that term a lot and it's a very popular word, but it can be very vague, I think, sometimes. What do. How do you define a soul's vibration? Personality's vibration? Is there a way to know your own vibration and. Or to lift it or lower it?
Absolutely. Everything is vibrational. There is nothing that is not vibrational. There is nothing static. Everything is in movement. Everything is moving according to vibration. Yours, everyone else's, the mass consciousness. Everything is in concert with everything else. Everything is one. If you would like to know your vibration, simply look at your life, your reality, that is your vibration being reflected back to you in physical terms. That is you if you think about where in your life you think it's working, you feel good, you're happy with, you're succeeding, and what areas of life aren't working as you'd like them to, that's your vibration in those areas. It all boils down to your perspective of yourself. You can't know what anyone actually sees when they look at you. You can't know what anyone else feels. You can't know what is difficult for anyone else compared to you. You have no comparison. It's impossible. Everyone has unique intentions that they made prior to their birth. They have an absolutely unique perspective. And if you'll notice, everything in physical reality is unique. There are no copies of anything because all of it is a discovery mechanism, a discovery mechanism for source. Source wants to know, how do you know? You become what feels like individual in this reality and you birth desires that could not be birthed any other way. Your desires, what you want, might seem similar to everyone else, but they're absolutely unique to you. Your perspective of yourself in every area of your life is unique to you. And that perspective is translated into a vibration, a vibration overall, a vibration in every area. We'll ask you this question. What's the vibration of glass? If you could think about it, you can feel the vibration of glass. What's the vibration of a flower? What's the vibration of a yellow flower? What's the vibration of a dead yellow flower? It's all unique, all different. But you can feel if you dip inside, you can get a sense of what these vibrations are. Your vibration is expressed in the decisions you make, the choices you make, the actions you take, your perspective of yourself, your courage to act on, the inspiration to start. The work that you're doing in the podcast and to put yourselves out there is the culmination of, of all of your experiences and has created a belief system, a belief that I can do this, that I'm qualified, that I'm capable, that I have something to offer. All of these empowering beliefs, where did those empowering beliefs come from? They came from a lot of tough times, a lot of challenges, a lot of situations where you would have said I would prefer if that never happened or I wish I could have changed how that happened. But all of those experiences were based in the vibration that you were offering in that time, which includes your pre birth intentions. So your inner self and you, prior to your birth knew that this is something you want to explore. I want to explore communication, I want to explore joy, I want to explore teaching, I want to explore what it's like to help some of those things. And so when you were born, that was part of your vibration, part of your DNA. And the universe puts you with the best mother, the best family, the best location, the best time and date, the best gender for you to have that exploration. Everything was designed perfectly and encapsulated the moment you are born. The moment you are born was a perfect moment. The vibration that you were offering prior to your birth with the intentions you set was matched by the people, place and time of your birth. You were perfect on that day. You were perfect the next day and the next week and the next month and the next year. Can you point to a time where you became imperfect? You never did. It was just a perception that caused you to see imperfection. And that's simply the illusion of separation creates all fear. Without that illusion, you could not see imperfection. When you return to the non physical, you cannot see imperfection. It's impossible. Only here in this reality, the animals don't see imperfection. Mostly it is a human thing. This is what you're exploring because you can't explore this idea of imperfection. Wrong, bad duality in the non physical, in the non physical. You can't have the experiences that you're having here because it's visceral here. It provides context and, and it creates great expansion. So however anyone lives this life will be seen as perfect for the non physical. But you as the human want to live a life of joy. There's only one way to do it and that's to remove your attention from how things could be improved, or better or worse, or right or wrong or evil. Remove your attention from that and focus on how things could be working out for you. How you might be the creator of your reality. How everything that happened in the past led you perfectly here. Even if you wanted to change it. Had you been able to change it, you wouldn't be here now. Who knows where you'd be? You assume you might be someplace better, but this is from a limited perspective. In a non physical, you'll know that was the perfect course to bring you here. Knowing that everything happened perfectly to bring you here and that this moment is perfect. You have everything you need in this moment. You are alive in this moment. Everything is working out for you in this moment and every moment you'll ever have. And therefore the future will also be perfect. But can you see the perfection rather than the imperfection? Well, certainly you're going to notice imperfections. You're going to notice when someone's Late, you're going to notice. When they missed your reservation, you're going to notice. When the car tire gets a flat, you're going to notice. But that's simply a perceptual matter. If you notice the tire got flat and you say, that's going to ruin my whole day, that's one perspective. But if you look at the tire and say, hmm, there's a reason that tire is flat right now. I wonder if it's preventing me from getting into an accident down the road. I wonder if maybe I'll meet someone who stops and helps me out. I wonder if maybe they'll find something else with the car that's broken that I didn't know. If you look at every detail from that higher perspective, you will start to see why things are happening. If you're noticing that numbers are lining up. 3, 3, 3, 11, 11. If you're noticing these things, if you have a number in mind or a name in mind or a birth, if your mother who passed away said, notice red cardinals and you'll know that I'm near you, you'll start to see that everything is actually working out for you. It is a ride from a limited perspective to a higher perspective. And as you push past fear to act on inspiration, your inner self will put you in the experiences that will give you the greatest opportunity for joy. Joy is nothing more than a higher perspective.
Yes, you anticipated almost all my questions. I'm left without any doubt. Joshua, thank you for being here with us and sharing this wisdom. And is there any final thought you wanted to offer to us or everybody listening right now to me, any of us?
Never doubt, never doubt that everything is always working out for you, that everything is there to support you, that you will always have whatever you need in any moment to do whatever you need to do. And if it's not there, in that moment, you don't need, need not be there. If it's going to be a distraction, you wouldn't want it. You want what's next. You want what's next? You want what's next? Be open to what's next and lean into it fully. Make mistakes, mess it up, fail, disappoint others, say the wrong things, but have experiences because experience teaches. Words don't teach. And with that, we are complete.
Thank you. Hi, Gary. Welcome back. Were they good? Yeah, I was pretty darn good.
Is it everyone channels differently. I am very present there and it's just a translation of blocks of thought that come through. I can stop at any time. I can start Anytime the phone could ring, I could not go right back into it. It's a lot different than a lot of others who are really taken over quite a bit. And it's fun, it's different. And as I open my belief systems more stuff comes in and more stuff, it's easier to communicate it.
Yeah, I'm starting to really think there's a kind of fundamental similarity between what a lot of us do. When I go into flow with people and it's a very similar thing. It's just, I feel like I'm just taking a dam and opening it and letting all the water come through. And I can be present with the water, I can stand back, I can observe it, I can be hardly there at all or I. But it's still going to come through until you go and then it stops.
Here's an interesting thing, is that there are two sources of all thought. There's fear based thought that's in the math consciousness that we can tap into whenever we're not feeling good, whenever we're angry. We bring in urges to take action to control or change conditions. Right. And then there's the non physical guide supporters inner self that are feeding us thought. And so when we're tapped in and tuned in, we have access to those thoughts. Everyone does. They said to me recently, you know, I was saying, did you like the name? I gave this new course, Quantum Life Theory and they're saying oh yeah, it's a great name. And then I said, you've never had a good idea your whole life, right? Because your brain doesn't manufacture thoughts, you receive thoughts. So when you're tuned in you receive brilliant thoughts. And when you're upset about something, you receive urges. You know, all the thoughts that humans have ever thought ever before, you can tell are generally based in fear. The ones that are coming from non physical, they're all the brilliant ideas. So no one's ever had their own brilliant idea. It's all been. They've become the path of least resistance. Resistance to that idea. All inventions, our downloads, all books are channeled, you know.
Yeah. Joshua gave me a lot to think about in terms of inspiration as well and how I feel very inspired right now to open the channels for more of just feels. Right. So that's why I was asking, is there any way to kindle that? Because you know. Absolutely, I got a good answer.
You'll always have enough time, you'll always have enough money. People will always show up to help you as long as you keep in that high emotional state of being and know that it's going to work out. And you will always go into a manifestation event, which means you go into some event that a limiting belief is triggered and you feel negative emotion. Right. So it seems like a bad event, but that's just showing you the limiting belief. And if you can notice that limiting belief and process that and prove to yourself it's not true, then you'll shift your whole perspective and vibration and everything. So anything you want to get into, you can do anything you want. But just know that you can have to adjust your beliefs as you go along.
Yeah, I feel like we're one of those TV shows where you watch the show and it's so good. Then they have the little bit afterwards where the actors and the directors are talking and unpacking what was just happening there. I feel like that's what we're doing right now.
Well, you and I could, we could literally have a four hour podcast. It'd be so easy.
Yeah, totally. We totally could. Yeah. There was that part about like, what is the essence of a flower? And I'm like, oh my God. I call that an energy signature, but I'm not gonna interrupt. And I'm like, yes, I can feel the flower. Yes, I can feel the yellow flower. Last night I was telling my friend, I said, go feel a fig tree. Fig trees are the most amazing vibration ever. I know why the sat under one.
That's great. Yeah, the Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree, which I named my dog Bodhi.
The Bodhi tree. Well, who. Wait, then who sat under the fig tree? I think there was a fig in there as well. There is definitely a fig in there. I've got to go research it now.
He demanded to be enlightened. He was going to stay there and meditate. Or died. Right. And that was under that Bodhi tree.
Oh, okay. Well, I'm going to look up fig tree because I swear, maybe he sat under both the different, different points. I'm. I'm going to hope I'm right. So for a person who wants to get started, you have all these books. I mean, you have a lot, your programs. What, what, what is the first point that you would say? This is your stepping off into these teachings. The best thing for someone, I would.
Say, just listen to an episode of Joshua Live and if it resonates with you at all, you'll know you're at the right place. If you're a reader, there's four great books, whatever piques your interest, just Amazon, Google, Gary Temple Bodley if you like videos. There's videos you can watch if you like meditations. There's tons of meditations to listen to. I would really highly suggest some form of contemplation by being still meditation or flow dreaming or whatever works for you that being able to distinguish the chatter from the inspired ideas and the thoughts. That's very helpful. And just know that you are the creator of your reality. You can't even be listening to this podcast if you weren't. You can't be here by accident, right?
True, true, true. Well, thank you so much, Gary. I am delighted. And we went a little longer than normal, but it was such good stuff that of course we had to. So thank you so much for being on with me. And I put all of these links up in the show description as well to know name your podcast and the teachings of Joshua.com and people can explore wherever they want to start and maybe even come see you live do a retreat with you sometime.
Great. Well, Summer, thanks so much. It's been a privilege being here and I really appreciate it and great having fun talking to you.
Well, I sure hope you enjoyed that conversation with Gary Temple Bodley. I had to look it up afterwards. The Bodhi tree. Yes. Is also known as a sacred fig tree, Ficus religiosa, and that is indeed the tree the Buddha sat under to attain enlightenment. Also, fun fact, he first approached a mango tree, but declined and chose the fig tree instead. So everybody's right because I was feeling like I was crazy for a moment there, but it is indeed known as both. With that, we're going to wrap up today. I I sure hope you had a wonderful and fun time. If you're also curious at all about God is always happy. The the CDs and and writings that I mentioned from my mother, you can visit her Venus andrecht@godisalwayshappy.com that's godisalwayshappy.com and I believe she still has downloads of the complete transmissions of that dialogue that took place. Oh boy. It was about at least 12 or maybe 14 years ago now. So with that, my dears, my darlings, love to you all. I will see you again next time for another episode of Flow Dreaming. In the meantime, don't be a stranger. Reach out to me. You can find me on instagram @Summer McStravic. You can also find me on YouTube. You can find this podcast there, as well as a full tutorial on what Flow Dreaming is and the philosophy behind it. Sometimes in the show I talk and teach and sometimes I have an interesting and fascinating.
