I was sitting in a pub. I was drinking. Not only that day, but I had been drinking every single day for nine months. And I was sitting there with my best friend at the time. And he saw where this was going. He also knew my heart. And he was trying to convince me, this is not your path in life, Peter. You have something else you need to do. And he took me to the worst places. The pubs were the most desperate alcoholics were sitting in their pity, the darkness and their violence. And he just pointed and said, this is where we're going. Cheers. And we drank. And it was so much frustration. It was so loaded, the whole thing. And I so wanted clarity because I knew something else was brewing in me because this very same guy, well, he ended up going down a path for a long while, ended in jail. But the same guy, he really did such a service. He was like one of my deepest gurus. He really wanted me to shine. And he had taken me to a temple just years before because I had. Growing up, I always had this warm, kind heart. I went to Sunday school once, and I came back and I said, you know, going to the church in Sundays for kids. And I said to my mom, I'm never going to go back there because they're too evil, too hard and harsh with each other. So I was this tender little kid and very sensitive. So I grew up with that. And when I was like 12, I actually stole a CD from the public library. I know it's the first and last time I stole, but there was something so tempting in that city. It was like a pop city, but Amongst the, like, 30 songs or something, there's one track of 42 seconds long with a spiritual mantra. And I just play that in on repeat throughout my. My adolescence from 12 until I was 19. Then I was at a rave party and a Nashville that went on for three days. I was the only one not on drugs. And there was this guy coming up to me with a CD and said, this series, amazing, but I'm too dark. You're light enough, you should have it. I got it. I put it in a CD player and it was the same song. And it just got me pumping with techno beats on. Perfect for my. Me at that age. I was dancing, I was pumping, it was amazing. And it got stuck in his heater player for a year. I couldn't get it out. So that was the only thing I was listening to on repeat every single day. And then this same guy I was drinking with a few months later, a year later, he came to my House for dinner. And he was like, are you listening to this thing? I was like, yeah. Oh, I used to be affiliated with these guys, this. Monks. Monks singing this song I like. Is it. And he said, yeah, I'll take you there tomorrow. And he drove me to that temple and I went in and he said, well, I'm not affiliated, so I shouldn't be there. So I left his car. He put. He dropped me off and I walked up the stairs. I walked into this temple building. It was opulent and amazing. And I went inside the doors and could. I could just see all the shoes. And I heard it singing. And something started happening in me. It was like. Like excitement of coming home, but I'd never been there before. And I went through a hallway and then I saw the doors, double doors going into this temple hall. And I went in and there's all these monks sitting on the floor and they're singing the same song from India. And I just sat down with them and I started singing and I fell into the song. And it was like my heart was melting like lava. It's like fluid, warm, liquid lava. And all my inside was just like a stream, a waterfall of this. I never felt like that before. And it was like my soul said, you are home. And it was so blissful. And it went on for. I had no time. Sense of time at that point. But they told me they're normally singing for 30 minutes. And then when I stopped, I just looked at them and said, can you please keep on? And they did it again for. For me, and it was fantastic. And then I said, no, we're taking a break. And we were eating this fantastic vegetarian food. I sat down, I ate with them. Then one of the guys came up to me and they started asking me questions like, did you like the song? Yes. Did you feel it in your heart? Yes. Do you believe that you have a soul? Yes. Do you believe you are a soul? Yes. And then some questions of more philosophical nature that I never ever thought about. And you don't have to agree with me. Do you believe that you have eternal life? Yes. Do you believe that you. You might be reincarnating in. In physical form again and again with the same soul? I was like, never thought of it, but feels right. Yeah. So. And he asked me about 17 questions. And then. And it was the sess all along, and a lot of them I never thought of. It just felt right. And then I said, then, you're one of us. You should become a monk. And that's when I became a Monkey and I started the journey. It's like, yes, I am all in. And here's a big key that I want you to take away because that the love that we are inside, the peace, the love, the calm, the joy, the bliss, the ecstasy that you are, I am, that makes us alive. It's the life force inside of us. It's so strong, it's such a strong pull that you can get a internal yes that is so strong that people will do extreme things. And that is the golden magnets that can pull whatever to you. But it's also a huge responsibility because I went down that route of becoming a monk for five years. But before I did that, I had this alcoholic experience because that temple shut down just a very short while after I came here. And I was so new, I had no idea what to do. That's why I started drinking. I was so frustrated. I drank with my friend every day for nine months. And then this very day, we sat in like the brownest, baddest pub. And then he said, so I have tried to show you where we're headed. I'm heading there. You shouldn't. So what's holding you back? I said, I just want to become a monk. And I said, wow, why? Because I want this clarity. I want this love, I want this ecstasy, I want this clarity. I want. I just want to be in. In the flow of that stream that melted my heart like lava and give that to others. So all I want in my life. And I said, yeah, so why don't you do it? Because I went there, I found it and then the shut down, I'm. I'm cut off from it. I said, j, you know that you don't need a temple to do that. Said, what? Yeah, you can do it at home. Yeah, can I? I was. Remember I. I remember I had like this, this pint of beer. I was halfway through, I was sitting with it next to my mouth. As he said that, I was like, what? You can do it at home. He said, how you get up in the morning at five o' clock in the morning and you wash your house? He was mid sentence. That was all I needed. So I slammed my beer down. So the whole table was spilled with beer. I said, thanks. I was drunk. I got up and I ran home. I got to bed next morning, I rose at 5. I cleaned the floors, the whole house. I was so happy. And after that, I did not drink again. So what I'm trying to say here is that I'm a little puzzled because my camera just Went out to focus. So what happened is that I was so dedicated to go this route. So I washed the floors every morning at 5am for a week. Then my friend called me and said, hey, so mad of you never showing up anymore. Like no, no, no. I started getting up in the morning and washing, washing the floors. I was all in the mid sentence, man. Oh, is there more? Of course. Now you, you sing that song while you wash the floor. So it's a part of your loving service. Ah, that's the whole point. Okay, cool. Thanks. I hung up again. Small, small instructions was what I needed at the time. And I did that and I was so happy. And from there on I found a path with my friend guiding me to start traveling. So I went to several countries. I went to Denmark, I went to Sweden, I went to Germany, Netherlands, England, Ireland, Japan and India. And I found so much golden nuggets in my journey during those five years as a mon. And it really shaped me for the future. And I was never meant to be a monkey for five years. Oh, sorry. For the rest of my life. But for a period to have the basic fundamental training on how to be happy, on how to understand the love and the flow of love and this waterfall of love. Why, what is it? And how can I get in touch with it and how can I live from there? How can I utilize that to liberate people around me? And that's when I came back from being a monk. I started my journey giving this to others. And I still had a lot to learn, but also a lot to unlearn. And here's a big key that I. When I sat there, when my heart melted as lava, this guy asked me all these questions. I don't think that is the best route to go because I think it is much simpler. In those five years as a monk, there's a lot of dogma, a lot of politics and ideas and intellectual understanding and concepts and politics and which is totally unnecessary. I needed to unlearn, unlearn that. But I was always a rebel because I only wanted that love. The highest esoteric spiritual insights and all the rest are discarded. That means I was thrown out of the community in the temple. Not once. Because then I'm left to the next group because they looked more open minded and they're kind of like the rig in India. So I had to, to be in India with them. I was in India, walked around in the mountains for six weeks with them. It was just bliss. I had a guru there was fantastic man, really like a high spiritual being, but his congregation all follow the rules and regulations. And then I got thrown out of there as well, because for me the inner thing was more important than the rules. And I think that you don't have to become a monk to have your heart melt like lava. And that's, it's not bad. That's like the highest state of bliss and joy and oneness and expansiveness and love and connection you can ever have. Well, so far I'm ready for expansion from there. So the thing is, it is here in all of us. It doesn't have to be so hard. Simplicity, I found, is a big key. So simplicity and understanding that your thoughts are not you, your feelings are not you, they're signals, but that's not you. Even your needs are not you. So you have this small self, personal self, which has the needs and it's a vehicle that gets all these feelings and all these thoughts and it's powerful and can utilize them, use them. You are something else. You're something bigger. Then you rest into that. Your heart melts like lava. Everything is golden and fantastic. And from there on you, you have something to give. Your purpose, your mission, your gifting, to rule and on the way of you allowing this grander self to flow through this smaller self. The smaller self has a lot of limitations from upbringing, from understanding, from limitations, from beliefs, from the collective culture around you, from what others project onto you. Or all that stuff makes us entanglement of knots and blockages and limitations, which is totally unnecessary and not serving you to a purpose and your higher skill. And it's not serving the world at large. And it's possible to meet that with the same love. This is the second part. So the first one is awakening into your bliss. The second part is transforming everything that is standing in your way. And there's specific techniques that is extremely effective, very gentle and rapid and fast that we do work with in leadership art master coach training. The thing is, the next part is where you get to be in loving service and create your dream life. And there's also very mystical specific techniques that can help you. But all of them are simplified. All of them are very, very simple. But it's not easy because you are, you're invested. You know, if it was easy, could just give up your limitations and be free. But you're invested because the limitations have given you a lot of stuff and you think that it will keep on giving. Well, it will, but it will only give in a limited fashion. But when you go out of there, you can actually give in A grander way, when you let the limitations go, everything is possible. That's what's possible for you. So that is the inner journey of personal development and spiritual development. Getting into the flow of bliss and loving yourself through and transforming everything that's holding you back and moving into being, flowing service and flowing your purpose and your love into the royal world. And that is the three simple steps of being more and more awake and more and more alive and more and more joyful and blissful and full of love and freedom and ease and joy. Then comes the next level, which is now I got all this and this is where I ended up. Sitting there in the temple, being so blissful, everything feeling so smoothly, having all these strong experiences. I'll tell you more about them later when but I was bathing in the Ganges Gangis Ganga for the first time and got pulled down and smashed with blood all over. That was the purification. I want to tell you about. Also want to tell about the one time I was in a jeep made for like five people with 11 monks in it. And I was hanging on outside because there are no doors and all windows and reading the most esoteric and high spirited book ever. And I was so blissful and so in touch with the greater grandness. And then this is in India, mind you. Then it was a car coming towards us and both of them are trying to avoid big pits and holes in the roads. They're driving like racer trucks. Race the cars, the Indian taxi drivers. They're the most amazing drivers I have ever seen. And these cars are passing each other so you can hear the scratching of the two cars. The only problem is that the scratching of the two cars happening but my body is hanging outside of the car, the body of the car. So just then one of the monks in rapid speed just pulled me in towards the lap of two other monks and I fell in and I'm just escaped dying. I turned to my, my friend that was sitting in the back of the car and he looked at me and it's like whoa, that was close. And I just looked at him and said I'm almost there. Obviously not done here on earth. I have something I need to give because I had this high spiritual experience and then I wasn't brought home yet. That means this high spiritual experience needs to be given. That was my only big takeaway. That's when I came home. That's when I started to teach. That's why when I simplified and and unwield and took away all that clutter, made it super simple, not Only the spiritual journey, but of course not easy. That's why we have accountability, support, mentoring, coaching and a community that thrives, loves each other. It's like a family because we need that to make that simple. 3, 3 point journey, 3 step journey, available and possible and fun and easy and fast. But I came back because the next level of evol evolving is to give back. And how do you give back? Well, for me, I found that best way is coaching because I can preach, I can tell people this is how it is and this is how it is and this is what you should do. But then it is hitting all their stuff and they're not even hearing 20% of it. So what I need to do is start asking questions that gets them in the opening reflexive mode and reflection and then unveiling and looking at all the stuff that is popping up in them and uncovering all hidden blocks. Then guiding them from a loving place to get connection with their grander being, with their true nature and, and learning them how to embrace all those blocks so they transform into the light that they really are and unfold their purpose and their gifting and their joy in the world. And spreading that each coaching client, spreading it to their spouse, their partner, the wife or husband, their kids, the grandkids, if they have one, friends, family, colleagues, clients. The rippling effects from one changed person, one soul brought home to the lights, has like an amazing effect in at least 2, 300 people's lives. And that is what we do with leadership, our coaching. And what I found is the best way I can do that is to inspire as many people I can with my videos. And then the people are ready to step in and do the work and be master coaches to make this happen for others. I train them. And a simple thing, I train them because again, simplicity. You don't have to go on a journey to become a monk for five years to get these three simple things. And I didn't even learn all of them as a monk. I needed to take five different top educations on top of that, to top it off and make my toolbox big enough to pick out the three golden power tools. Then comes how do you actually become a master coach? How do you make a difference? How do you change lives? Well, you could do the same thing, but in a coaching setting. So there's special methods to make that happen. Then again comes the next thing. Okay, now I know how to get people into the joy, into their loving essence. And then now I know how to transform whatever is holding them back in their Life. And now I know how to get people on track to live their purpose with joy every day, transforming their life and 2, 300 people around them. Cool, we got that in place. And then how do you actually, as a coach, make a living and make this your journey without having to juggle other jobs on the side and all that crap? Well, it is simple as well because there's a lot of marketing gurus out there who want to show you stuff which is really complicated and takes a lot of energy, a lot of time because complexion makes false procrastinate and wanting to buy their services. But it's really, really simple. It's basically three things. From your heart, you attract the right person to you. Of course you need to attract it in your heart. You also need a message that is appealing, which is story based. You just tell a really appealing story about the transformation. And that's what people want. Because they also want to move from being stuck to being free from darkness to light, from depression and frustration to joy, from inner stress and worry and burnout to calm, inner peace and bliss. That's what people want. And if you can actually make that happen in this three part process, which is attract the right people, talk to them in a way where they beg you to become your clients. Yes, it's possible. And you use that spiritual gift again, the gold magnet. And the third thing is to transform their lives. You need to start with the transformation. Of course you transform their lives in a very specific manner in just a few short weeks. And when you have that story, that's what you lead with and to tell people about the journey of transmission you have guided you people through because you're so safe and secure and confident and certain in yourself that I know that I have changed my life. I know that I can change other people's lives. I have the tools, I have the stories, I have the track record. Then you bring that out in a story like this, or not like this, because this is 15 stories in one, but a very simple story. And I'll help you how I'll help you craft it. Then you have an honest conversation. In an honest conversation, you help your potential client understand where they are and where they want to go and what's holding them back. But moreover, you're coming in with a deeper, higher perspective of why they're holding themselves back and why they're stuck in what they're really looking for. And when you ask them if that sounds true, rings true for them, they'll say, yeah, wow, this is the best thing ever of Course, this is fantastic. And when you're asking them, telling them the truth and asking if that rings true, and they say yes, it rings true. And then asking them, do you want to work with me on that? I not only want to work with you, I need to, I have to work with you. And that's what's happening. That is the biggest thing that I really want you to take away, that when you are connected to your spiritual truth and you understand what's happening through the work we do, you can actually talk to very few people and 80 to 90 to maybe 100% of them will say, yes, I need to work with you. And then we start that transformational journey that will transform their life and the life of everyone they love. Their, their partner, their kids, their friends, their family, their colleagues, their clients, like two, 300 people. And that person for that person that is so valuable, they will pay you a premium price. And if you're like most people, you only need like four or five of those clients a month, let's say four clients a month. It will replace your other income and this becomes the thing you do. And since you know how to transform your life so strongly, you have amazing stories since you know that you can speak to them in a way that resonates with your deepest core. You know that 80%, if you talk to five people a month, four of them will say yes to sign up. And getting those five people in is really easy when you have those transformational stories and you, you put them out in the right way and I'll help you with that. I even, I actually have a turnkey funnel which is I actually help people and craft the message with them and help them craft the conversation I have with your clients and framework and template use, I hand it out as well. And also the templates for how to guide this transformational journey. So it's three simple steps. This is what our master coaches are doing. This is what transformed their lives, their lives and their, their family and friends and colleagues lives. This is what transformed their health most of the time. Can never advertise and guarantee that, but I see it again and again and again. People will get in a better shape, they get in a better flow and alignment. They're more happy to get to live their purpose and give their love and the change look lives around them. And now if you see in this far, you know who I am, where I came from, and the simple strategy to be free and a simple strategy to set others free. And if you feel like, wow, Peter, this resonates with me. I want to get connected and find out if this is for me. You can just leave me comments. Just send me a comment. Wherever you see this or hear this, just reach out to me and I would be delighted to see if any of whatever we knew can support you in whatever way. We have different levels we work with people with. The highest level is the master coach training. But there's also levels where I make whatever you need available to you, where you're at right now. The thing is, follow your heart. If your heart says yes, don't make this complicated. That's the first thing. Because when you get to your heart, there's so such a strong gold magnetism in your heart that attracts just what you want. And if you're watching or listening to this, it is a sign. This is why you're here. This is what you need. This is what you want. So don't make it complicated. Just reach out, send me a message or leave a comment and I'll personally connect with you. Because I'm here to love you. I have everything I need, inside and out. Seriously, inside, I'm surrendering it to love. Every hour, every day, it's fantastic. Outside, I live in my dream family, in my dream home, in my dream place of peace. Everything is perfect. The next thing for me, the only thing, is to dedicate myself and surrender myself into a flow of loving service. And I want to love you as a master coach. Take much care. Leave my comments, send a message if that's right for you, and I'll see you in the next one. Much love.
