Hey, what's going on, my friend? It's Jordan Kanlish here. Thank you so much for joining me on the podcast. Really looking forward to sharing today's episode with you. Today I'm going to be sharing a solo episode. Now, these solo episodes will consist of either an Instagram Live that I've created or a separate video that I pulled from somewhere else that I really wanted to share on the podcast so you could have the audio experience. Now, whenever I do these solo episodes, particularly the Instagram Lives, they're really just a stream of consciousness. I try not to plan them too much. I just allow whatever needs to come through me in that moment to come through. And usually the content is just what is needed for the person on the other side. And I trust that if you're here about to receive this, there's something here for you. So I'm really looking forward to sharing it with you. My one request is if you did get some value from this solo episode, please ensure that you subscribe if you haven't already so that I can keep you posted when more of these come out and share it with a friend as well if you got something useful from, from this information. So again, I appreciate you so much. Thank you for being here. Thank you for taking in this. This knowledge. It says so much about you to be on this journey, and I really hope you get something from today's episode. So enjoy.
Friend, welcome. Thank you for joining me. Wanted to make this quick live video today to speak about something that, you know, I've been trying to contemplate and reflect on and ponder, which is the energy of the mystical in life. And to give you some backstory around what I'm going to speak about today. I want to kind of preface this by what I've been placing intentions on recently in my meditation, in my practice, in my spiritual work. And it's really been about cultivating the energy of the mystical in my journey. And you may or may not understand some of the things that I'm going to share today, but my invitation is just have an open heart. What's up, Steph? Good to see you. Have an open heart, have an open mind. Because I had a mystical experience today that I want to share with you, and that tends to happen with me. When I have experiences that are beyond comprehension, I immediately want to share them with someone. And I feel like the whole purpose of my platform is I want to just document what I'm learning in this growth journey. So the energy of the mystical, what is it and how I've been practicing tapping into that. Well, it's been going on for about six years now. I started meditating and really going deep in my spiritual practice probably six or seven years ago. And during that time I discovered Dr. Joe Dispenser. And I'd been attending a lot of his meditation or meditation retreats, doing a lot of these deeper inner practices. And a lot of the things he speaks about is learning how to tap into the pineal gland. And now the pineal gland is this aspect of ourselves which is connected to the divine, it's connected to the mystical. And he speaks about where you place your attention, is where you place your energy. And as you start to put light, this part of your body up, all of a sudden mystical things start happening because you can see this, this area, this gland is almost like a master gland. It's almost like your spiritual antenna that allows you to connect with higher frequencies. And most importantly, it allows you to cross the doors of dimensions. And after coming out of Dr. Joe's recent retreat a couple of months ago, I've been maintaining my practice of tuning into this pineal gland. There's different ways you can activate it through the breath or through just replacing your retention on it. But what he says is, you know, the mystical experience will come when you're not looking for it. And over the last few weeks I haven't been looking for it, but I've still been practicing my meditation. And last night I meditated before bed. And what I've realized as well, I want to share this with you. For those interested in this, in this kind of spiritual work of tapping into the divine and going through different dimensions, then there's specific moments, the specific environments where that the veil is thin. You know, it's easier to cross the door to these other dimensional realms at certain times of the day. Some of those times of the day is when most people are asleep. So if you're really committed to this process, you know, getting up at like 3am or 4am or being in an environment where there's less people, there's less energetic noise, it becomes a lot easier to, you know, access these mystical realms. And that's what it was been for me last night I was here in the Algarve in Portugal and you know, obviously there's, there's less people here than in a city. And one of the ways also that we tap into this space or we cross this, this doorway, this bridge to the unknown is when we sleep. So before going to sleep, it's a very opportune time. It's a very opportune time to start to open up this pathway. And it's what I did last night. So I meditate before bed most nights, but last night in particular, my mind got really still right before sleeping. And I believe this is when magical things start happening in our lives and we can learn to get really still and listen and. And allow the channels to be clear. Things start happening. And I believe sleep is an opportunity, is an opportunity to access the realm of spirit, access a realm outside of what our minds can comprehend. So the way we get there is we've got to be still. Our energy centers have to be open. There's an energy center above the head, the eighth energy center, that when you can open up all your lower chakras and open up your heart and open up your pineal gland. And the eighth center is the final doorway. And when you can have that open and. And go into sleep, go into bed with these open channels with a still mind, and all of a sudden I believe spirit can start to speak through you. And that's what happened with me last night. I had this really interesting dream where a young man who, you know, grew up in the same environment as me. His name is Dylan Tombides. He. He passed away when he was 20 years old. And he was on the path to be. He was a professional footballer, but he's on the path to leave a massive impact in the world. And I had this moment where his spirit came through me. I had a really clear dream, vivid. And I woke up the next day going like, what was that? And I could feel this energy lingering in my body. And I immediately went into sub, and I opened up YouTube and I found that it was a documentary that literally just got released about him. And as I watched this, I felt this kind of. This connection with him. And it was so strange, you know, when you have those dreams where you just can't, like, fathom what just happened. But it awoken something in me that there was a. There was something occurred. There was a spirit that came through my body, there was an energy that came through. And what I took from that is we all have an opportunity to commune with this part, this aspect of the divine, which is spirit. Spirits that are here now, spirits that are not here anymore. And what I took from it is an archetypal energy within all these spirits. And, you know, for those who follow football and know about who Dylan, Tom Beatties was, this. This guy had a really special aura. I never got to meet him, but I reached out to some people who had Met him and said they told me he was a really special individual. So I was just thinking, why did he come through? Why did he come through in that dream? And why was it so clear for me? And what I practice in my life is invoking spirit. And when I watched this documentary that was online, what I felt from. What I felt from that was just deep inspiration, deep, kind of like just mysticism around him. And what can happen in our world when we tap into the spiritual aspect of ourself is that we can invoke certain spirits. And what invocation means is to call forth, is to call forth a spirit or an entity via prayer or via meditation to allow us to be inspired. And what I believe can happen with the people that we are inspired by, the loved ones or the people who have impacted us, either who are alive or dead. Their spirit can be invoked through us to channel a specific kind of energy as a part of our purpose and our mission. So I don't understand mentally why Dylan's spirit came through me last night, but I do understand spiritually there was a certain invocation that he wanted to pass through me, through this channel. And why I share and why I make this work is to pass that message on, to pass that energy on and, you know, remind. It reminded me so much of my friend Nathan Diabra, who passed away when, you know, in 2020. A similar kind of thing happened when I had my first DMT experience. His spirit came right through my body. And it was just this channeling of inspiration that was so profound that it stuck with me, it stayed with me. And now I continue, see, continuously invoke his energy, and his energy lives on through me. And it's just a great reminder that I want to pass on to you that, you know, if you've lost a loved one or someone who you really. Who really impacted you, their spirit, they. The energy can live on. And how it lives on is through communing with that part of ourselves, communing with the divine, communing with that dimensional realm where I believe all spirits go. So the point being is I want to share with you how to allow that bridge to occur, how to tap into these mystical states, right? Accessing those parts of the day when the veil is, then, you know, early in the morning, if you're in an environment where you're not around a lot of other humans, the veil is thin. If you can quieten your mind, if you can quiet the thought stream that is keeping you disconnected from this, this. This divine aspect which is through the heart and to the pineal gland. All of a sudden, you can play in that realm through sleep. Right through sleep. Thanks for sharing that. So before going to bed, if you want to play with that realm, meditate before bed. Try to get your mind to a place of stillness. Try to allow yourself to drift off into bed with an open heart with an activated pineal gland. And sometimes all you've got to do is place the intent and just breathe and put your attention on that area. Just. Just allow it to be there. And then open up the eighth center, which is where the channeling can happen, which is where the. The spirit can come through us. And when you go to bed in this. In this place, all of a sudden divine things start happening. And that's exactly what happened to me last night. Didn't plan it, wasn't looking for it, but it occurred. So I wanted to share that with you. And I reached out to Dylan's mom and his brother, and I'm going to connect with them. Because the reason Dylan passed away was because he had testicular cancer at 20 years old. This man on a mission just to play professional football. And it was. It was a huge loss to the community for the people who are in the professional football community, or if you played football, you would have known about this. So he has a foundation, and I want to continue to support his foundation. And I wanted to honor his life and just speak about him today because he came through me in my dream last night. So decoding the message is another part of that. If this occurs to you, if you have some sort of mystical experience, it's helpful to decode it. And that's what I was doing this morning. I was walking on the beach and just thinking about, what. What is this message? Like, why did this come through? Like, what was the point of this spirit coming through me? And sometimes in the moment, you don't know what it means, but in just asking the question, or even if you have a dream that's really hard to comprehend, a really vivid dream, like, what. What was the meaning of that? Sometimes you can wake up and just ask the question, like, what was the message here? What was I meant to receive from this dream? And that's some of the ways in which I kind of allow my heart and my mind to make sense of. Of what's happening and then try and bring that as an integration aspect, Try and bring that into my life and in my business and in my relationships and the impact I'm here to have on this world. So I really love the tapping into these These realms, these mystical states. Because what it does for me is, it is, provides inspiration, divine inspiration. And I believe that's the thing that's, that's moving all of us, right? These archetypal energies that are moving all of us. And you know, the larger archetypes, the themes of Christ, the themes of, of the Buddha or the Dalai Lama, you know, these are archetypal energies that are, that are around. But these archetypal energies live within the people who have impacted us on a day to day level, or loved ones who have passed away. And it's important to remember that you can always commune with these parts. You can always commune with these beings because spirit, we all come from Source, we all are aspects of Source. So that spiritual dimension to all of us is always available. So you just ask yourself what happens when you go to sleep? Well, you go back to Source. You go back to this place where all spirit exists. But for so many of us, we lose the ability to access these channeling. So we lose the ability to receive messages from Source because when we go to sleep, our mind is so full of noise, we're so closed off from the ability to connect to the divine. So there's a purification process that I believe has to go on and be on this purification. I'm committed to this purification process because, you know, I meditate every day and I try to keep myself open and clear. But the benefit of doing that is these mystical experiences that just leave a huge impact, huge impact on myself, like massive. And they fill me with so much kind of drive and an inspiration for life. So my suggestion to you is if you, if you want to go down this path, and I know this isn't for everyone, some of you guys probably listen to this, go, what the fuck this guy talking about? This is airy fairy stuff. But it's just my own experience and what I've, what I've gone through in my own life to allow me to have such a strong belief system in the spirit world, in the spirit realm. And you know, that purification process happens on a daily basis. But one of the ways I believe we can master it is but before going to bed, treat that time very sacredly. You know, that pre bed ritual for you, whatever it is, it's sacred. Don't go to the bed with your phone on. Don't go to bed with, you know, music playing. Have a little ritual where you get out of your mind. You open your heart, you activate your pineal gland. You go to bed with a prayer. You go to bed with you Know, hey spirit, work through me, God, whatever I need to receive to purify this vessel, to allow me to be a divine channel for greater inspiration. Work through me, support me, rejuvenate me, nourish me, renew. Renew my soul. Just like declare these things before going to bed, declare them all the fucking time. But ideally before you go to bed because you're in a place of deep receptivity to source energy when you're asleep. And you never know like these mystical things will happen. You can't go looking for them. They just happen. They just happen. Just keep showing up in your practice, purifying the heart and purifying the soul, purifying your mind and all kinds of magical things start happening. So I wanted to share that with you guys today. Just a beautiful symbol, a symbol symbolism coming through in my life. A beautiful reminder that spirits always communicating through us, to us, within us or all around us. It's just about fine tuning the channel, fine tuning the antenna. So I'll leave it at that. If you want to go back and re listen to the live today, it's going to be on my podcast as well. You don't need to make sense of it. But if you're on this path and you're resonating with what I'm putting out, then I guess you, you'll find your own way of tuning in and tapping in and receiving guidance. Ultimately that's what it is, right? Guidance on the path we're meant to walk, the impact we're here to have. And that guidance goes beyond the mind. The guidance is already built in to your mechanism as a spiritual being having an human experience. So my invitation is tune into that guidance. What's trying to be expressed through you, what spirits are trying to communicate through you and can you be attuned enough to listen to that and receive it? That's my commitment. That's my commitment. Once you have that guidance, man, you have so much trust, so much faith and trust, so much courage. Just, just awakens. We only a little bit of that right now. Right there we have it, my friend.
Thank you so much for tuning into today's episode.
One last thing before you take off, want to tell you a little bit.
About the path, which is a four month men's program that I facilitate. Enrollments are currently open. And if you're a man listening to this or you know, a man that may feel the call to step into a men's program and men's group, then this is the opportunity for him. And if you're tuning into my content. If you're here, you're listening to this, there's some sort of resonance through what I'm putting out. There's something that's calling you to step into this work. And I have decided that I wanted to, you know, create opportunities for men to come together to attract the right kinds of men who are willing to support each other in this journey and what the path is. It's a four month men's program where we go into each of the domains, all of the domains of a man's life, his relationships, his finances, his spirituality, his health, his fitness, all the areas to help him achieve full potency. And we do this through a very specific, measurable, tracked program where we have structure and we have accountability and we have guidance. And essentially we meet every week, we come together, we measurably track progress in each of these areas and we have safe spaces where we can open up around other men to release the things we've been holding onto, to release the blockages that holding us back from being true, authentic, grounded warriors in this earth. And if you're here, you know the urgency, you know the need for this kind of work, especially, especially for us men to step into this new level of leadership. So I just wanted to let you know that we're now taking enrollments for the next round. It's something that, you know, I really feel that this is my heart and soul's calling to bring this work to fellow men, to fellow brothers like yourself. So if you head over to thepathbrotherhood.com you'll be able to learn more information about the path, what it's about and how to apply. And if there's something in your soul that's resonating with what I'm sharing, then please follow that. Follow, follow that calling. Because on the other side of it is a whole new realm of possibility, power and confidence that will just start to emit from you. It will emanate out of you. You deserve it, my friend. You fucking deserve it. Thank you for being here. I appreciate you and hopefully we'll see you on the inside. Take care.
