So without any further ado, how are you, Shaheen Jadian?

Oh, thank you so much for asking, dear Uzi. Thank you for having me here, and it's a blessing to reconnect with you again and with everyone that's going to be with us. It's actually pretty exciting because we go way back ourselves. To a beautiful life of journeys in Los Angeles. So it's great to just reconnect all together and to be part of this influence of light for the world.

Absolutely, man. I'm just so happy to have you. I just felt that it was time. The way it goes with this podcast is really is the light is pretty much sending the right best guess to bring the right information at the right time to the right individuals. And that's what it's all about. You know, we're really trying to influence the world and make a positive change. So now, you've spoken about decoding ancient codes to explore life paths and hindrances. What advice do you have for skeptics who may question the volatility, the validity of such practices in the modern world? Okay, I know it's a little bit, it's a question that's right away kind of, you know, talks about people that are skeptics, but let's just get that out of the way first.

Okay, great. So, so just to clarify the question, your question is that what advice do I have for people that may question whether we have Whether the ability to be able to help people decode their soul code, their name, their essence, their cosmic code, all of those things, whether that's possible or not. Is that what you're asking?

Yeah, because some people are skeptics. They say, oh no, you know, ancient code is irrelevant to me. You know, I mean, I live in a modern world. So So what do you say to those people?

So first of all, I love skepticism because I think it's the beautiful arena where we can really connect and really have curiosity and really explore. So that's beautiful. If you have any skepticism, please bring it on, write questions, engage us, write to Uzi Moses PhD PhD, write to the podcast, write to all of us because this is what's fascinating to be able to connect and hear your mind because every skepticism that's out there is probably an unconscious skepticism within myself that I need to resolve. So that's beautiful. Bring it on. I would love to hear anything, any questions, any connections to it. My premise in general is that we all have this encoding inside us that's waiting to be revealed. And when the more we can discover that code within ourselves of who we are, the soul code, the most like deepest aspect of the genetic code of who we are, the easier life becomes to have a sense of direction and a compass to know where we're heading. So really the intention is the most important thing. The technicalities of how we do it is less important, but the intention is really important that I want to explore the deepest part part of who I am so that I could head towards that space. I could move towards that space of healing because healing is a release from fear, essentially. So it's also a release from the past.

Oh, I see.

And in truth, the past is over, right? It is true to say the past is all in the mind, right? That if the past is over, it's all in the mind, then unless the past over is in your mind, you'll be stuck on reruns. In order to get rid of these reruns, we need to explore who I am so I can be in this moment because this moment creates my next moment. I'm going to take a deep breath with you as I get into the room and to just land with you all and to spend this time with you. I feel very lucky to be able to spend this time in this generation with everyone that's with us because we're so significant. The people in this generation, if we knew how much light we're revealing, how powerful we are, how significant you are, you the listener right there, sitting here with us, sitting here with me and Uzi Moses PhD PhD right now just to share this moment, just to be able to rise together. It could be this moment you're listening, you were just sad or depressed, or it could be you're excited to be on, or it could be you came from a very rough day or a rough year, or maybe sad heart or whatever that is, you know. So the purpose is I just really want to invite you to connect with us because Your heart is what matters most right this minute, right now. And we all have some sadness, some guilt, shame, hiding, anger, these past elements, resentments, you know, forgiveness stuff that we don't want to give up. You know, want to carry these heavy black bags with us because it just feels like it's giving us something. But sometimes we get to a point where it's really becoming too heavy to carry it. So tonight we just want to kind of find a way to release so we can tap into our ultimate self.

Beautiful, beautiful. So as a spiritual teacher, Shaheen, how do you address the delicate balance between ancient wisdom and the demands of the fast-paced tech-driven world we live in today?

That's an excellent question to actually address because I actually grew up in an environment, you know, I was born in the Middle East in Iran and I left, Iran when I was 9 years old. So I grew up in the environment where modern wisdom for ancient times was being heavily challenged because Iran never made it to go past into the modern age after the religionists took over. So this caused this kind of like thinking for me of how do I keep spirituality at a space where it's real enough and modern enough and it applies to today, and at the same time, it's not me just becoming some new age puppet, right? So that's a very good— I'm just going to take a moment and just going to pop my, I think my charger. There we go. We're good to go now. Yeah, so there's some technology right there, right? We just tapped right into it. So yeah, so it's like, how do I maintain the balance of making sure my computer right now, my laptop is charged while I reach out to you all, right? And that just showed up right there in front of our eyes, right? Because if the battery runs out, I can't speak with you. But if my only focus is technology, then I'm going to lose myself, my soul, and my essence. right? One of the things I always say to my students is that technology is our beautiful, loving servant, right? It really can bring us so much joy, right? This laptop helps me reach out to the world and connect with so many of you, right? So there's a beautiful verse, there's a beautiful teaching in the Zohar that says, um, that this ancient teaching, this Hebrew teaching, says that the Messiah rides on a donkey, right? Many people have heard this from different ancient wisdom— Talmud, Zohar, maybe even you just read it in a book of parables. And essentially what it's saying is that Mashiach, the one that, that essence of the utopian age where we can connect— Mashiach means how you can do that is you must learn to ride Al HaChamor, on the donkey. And donkey in Hebrew, it means donkey, but it also means, humriot means literally physicality or the robot age, the AI age, right, that we're in, so to speak. If we can learn to ride this wave of technology, ride this wave of modernity to our benefit in order to pursue our spiritual endeavors, then you are already in the realm of the Messianic world. So, I mean, it seems simple, but you know, it's challenging obviously because there's so much that goes on with this. How do we choose our spiritual path? Who am I? Where do I fit in? You know, my culture connected with my spirit, my original religion that I was born with, is it really worth it to stay with it? Do I need to move out of it? How much stuff with this do I connect with? Who? All the different opinions around us, you know. So all of these things really create this arena of, you know, how do I remain connected?

Okay, that's cool. So pretty much you're saying that technology is really something that we should use to improve our lives, to actually, you know, bring, so to say, personal redemption, as you describe them as Messiah writing the material world to— and the Messiah, obviously, he is the idea of redemption, which means getting out of this physical exile, so to say, that we are in. So that's a pretty cool concept. So, but I'm trying to really understand more about the concept of a soul code name. It might sound, you know, it might sound intriguing, but also enigmatic to some. How can individuals connect and embrace their unique Soul Code name for personal growth and transformation? So just kind of elaborate a little bit about what it is. Is it like numerology, or is it the gematria, or how do you get the name? Just from the first and last name, including the date of birth? And so to say, okay.

Thank you so much for that question, Uzi Moses PhD PhD.

Sure.

For example, I love your name, Uzi. It literally means like, you know, boldness, right? So, but we'll come back to it in a few minutes. I wanted to give a little perspective before we get into names because I think we must understand energy before we understand names because names are a result of a certain energy. Right? So Uzi Moses PhD PhD, you had mentioned that you, you know, you like to discuss also quantum mechanics. And so what do physicists say causes the collapse of a wave into particles of matter? Right? What causes the collapse? Right? So in order to discuss that or understand that, we need to really tap into this one thing, which is if you have a name, For example, your name is Uzi Moses PhD, my name is Shaheen or my Hebrew name is David, right? My spirit name. If we have a name, there's something powerful to this that it actually ended up where it is. Now psychologists and Freudians and Jungians, they say that if two people accidentally produced a child, they didn't really produce a child accidentally. At a very deep unconscious level, they wanted to produce this child, right? But they weren't as consciously planning planning it necessarily, but their unconscious took care of this. Okay. Or like, for example, if somebody accidentally hurt somebody, even though at a conscious level, the person maybe never wanted it, but at an unconscious level, there was a relationship to be rectified and to heal there. And so therefore they got each other's attention through this, right? So therefore a name that you land on, even a temporary name for 6 months or one that you have for a lifetime, is a reference to an aspect of your being that will never go away in reality, and it's really referencing something in order for you to access yourself. So at a psychological level, even if we don't go at any spiritual level, we can prove to ourselves, at least on a basic premise of some basic psychology, that there is a— if we have any connection with our unconscious behaviors, that there is something we pull pull towards ourselves. And that means even socially in society, for example, a person could be, his name is, you know, Jacob, but then when he ends up at work, they call him Jack, right? And then little by little, there's a social stance for this and there's a connection for this. So all of these things, how do they actually develop that the person gets that pull, right? So this is what I deal with. I deal with, okay, at the essence of your name, at the essence of your cosmic birth, your birthday, who you are, your look, your face reading, your palm, your essence, your body language, how you carry yourself, the brand of your being, your soul brand. You know what I love about this conversation is that me and you have so much in common. You're helping people like brand themselves, find themselves. You know, this is like a very holy thing. It's like a very powerful, you know, you're doing it in a very humble way. But the idea is that, you know, how do we help people find the essence of their being And the way I do it is usually, I do this seminar once a year. It's called Conscious Life Expo at the Hilton where there's about 20,000 people that come, which is amazing by the way, to have 20,000 people show up to meet all of these teachers, right? That like never happened in the history of mankind happening in Los Angeles of all cities, right? 20,000 people under one roof for a weekend. And one of the things that I do is I do this 7-minute Soul Code discovery through your name meeting, where I sit with each person that comes through the connection for 7 minutes. And in 7 minutes, I help them explore their total life path, essentially. The way I do it is I look at their nonverbals. I allow the intuition to come to me. I take their name and I write it in the most ancient Aramaic Sanskrit, so to speak, Hebrew writings. I add up the numerical values. I use my intuition of everything that my brain and unconscious scans from throughout all of the Zohar teachings, all the past teachings, all of the Egyptian teachings, all of these energies that come to me and every interaction I've ever had with that energy center. And then I help them provide a 3-step, 5-step ladder of life plus numerical values, life paths, understanding of themselves and ways to improve, plus a special breathwork that you do that connects you to your name through your soul. Okay, and the breathwork is directly linked into an ancient tradition of how to use these letters, these powerful letters. And even if you don't have a Hebrew name or a spirit name, however you pronounce your name, the vibration of the way that's been said for so many years impacts who you are and the associations of what you picked up. So sometimes it's a name cleansing. It's just a person has been called a certain name, but they actually have hate towards it. Like for example, this person's name, let's say her name is Janet, and all she heard all her life was her mom saying, Janet, you did this wrong. Janet, pick that up. Janet, do that. Right? So now she has negative associations of her name. Every time she hears her name, it's almost like she's being called by the police, right? So sometimes we do name clearing, which is like clearing all the associations that's related to your name, right? It's kind of like, you know, going to your credit score and just like paying back all your debts and just cleaning your— clearing your name to yourself, right? So there's name clearing, there is renaming, there is name additioning, there's name exploration, which is a big part of what we do. And then there's beyond the name, which is now let's go deeper into your life mission and explore deeper and deeper how those life missions translates into behavioral and action steps where you can reach your ultimate potential.

That's pretty cool. So it's a combination of pretty much numerology, gematria, Kabbalah.

Correct.

And stuff like that. So when you do a name addition, do you actually add a name to a person, or?

So a name addition would be, yes, like in many cases we find that we meet people that they may have a name, but their name is really not influential in their life, or doesn't have much of a spiritual meaning, or it doesn't match who they are. So a name additioning would be, we would spend a couple of months, it's not a quick process, of getting to know that person, allowing them to go through series of meditations and together coming up with letters that matches the influence of the 4, like earth, water, air, and fire elements that matches where they need to head in their life to come into the calling of their soul. And then we do a group meditation to stamp that name additioning into their essence of their being. Wow.

That sounds cool, right? Yeah. So, so in your journey as, an intuitive hypnotherapist, have you encountered moments of doubts or skepticism about your own abilities? And how did you overcome them?

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, that's a great thing to consistently keep an eye on for yourself of where you are, where you stand with that. You know, there's been interesting moments in my life where there's been so many years of my life where I actually used a lot of hypnotherapy with myself and with my clients to go into deep spaces. And there's been years in my life where I didn't use it as much. I used a lot of other techniques just because I was more inspired and driven towards other elements and connection. So part of how I look at it is like, because thank God I've been blessed with many amazing teachers in my life, So I learned a lot of different ways to reach a person. Like, for example, I'm an NLP master, a clinical hypnotherapist, Reiki master, Kabbalistic Reiki, creation of the, you know, first ever PDF file of how to actually learn that. So this gives me timeline dynamics, right? Kabbalistic zodiac. This gives me a lot of pathways to reach a person. Without necessarily having to go the path that I get used to or the path that they may want to avoid, which creates, you know, it creates like a kind of defense mechanism for the person to allow the entrance and the shift. So with that being said, the variety helps me that if I'm in doubt about a certain technique, I can just move smoothly to another technique. And then when I get inspired to this other one, I come back to it. Now hypnotherapy is really simple because it really deals with your unconscious, essentially the part of you that's driving you, but you may not be so aware of it, right? I discovered hypnotherapy originally myself about 15 years ago. You know, when I did originally, I did my bachelor's and master's in metaphysical studies and methodology of teaching and psychology. So when I wanted to take it deeper, I was like, what's there? And then I'd explored hypnotherapy. I originally explored hypnotherapy because of stress on my shoulders and pain, literally, because I was, I was running a video production company for some time. And as I was running this video production company, I felt the burden of all of my clients literally sitting right here in my shoulder to the point that one of my hands couldn't go up for a year anymore. It literally couldn't lift my hand. And I became really, I guess I could say paralyzed in my shoulder. I went to doctors and tried to— they said this is just a surgery, which I wanted to avoid. I did some, you know, massage and physical therapy and chiropractics, but it wasn't healing until I came to realization that at a very unconscious level, I'm holding people's weight literally right here. All the people that I need to finish projects with, family dynamics, the past burdens. And it was just sitting here literally. And as soon as I was getting ready to get healed, I felt the slightest tension, it would get stuck again, right? It was like literally there was like a button there, you know. So this brought me to, um, essentially the, the, the understanding that I truly really need to learn how to let go of the burdens that I'm holding on to at a very unconscious level. And hypnotherapy and energy work was one of the powerful answers that I got into a lot deeper And, and so essentially for me, hypnotherapy is a very personal thing that I use on a regular basis. I take myself at least once a week into a deep trance mode and give myself auto-suggestions, create shift, build imaginations of my newfound self. When I work with clients, hypnotherapy is usually combined with timeline dynamics, energy healing, storytelling, metaphors, past life, future life progressions. And a combination of the teachings of Kabbalah to the extent that it applies universally to everyone that I meet. So here's an example of hypnotherapy metaphor, and I will actually do it with you. If you want to play a little bit of soft background music, that would be great while I get into this. It's like going to be 3 minutes, and this is like an example of letting go of a habit, okay? So while I would be counting and the person would probably be just closing their eyes and taking a deep breath, and you're just closing your eyes and taking that deep breath, this is called an induction where you go deeper into yourself and you're allowing yourself to kind of ease down into a mellow aspect of who you are. Another deep breath and then exhale. And with each inhale, I take in more life. With each exhale, letting go of any stress, unwanted things. And then there's a process where I visualize these 10 steps where you go down these 10 steps, taking that first step, 10, and then 9, going down these wonderful 10 steps into this beautiful forest or space that you love. 6, we'll just go faster, 5, 4, 3, 2, and when I say 1, you've arrived at this wonderful space. 1 and 0. You've really arrived in this calmer space now. And in this space, you come to clean up a little bit. You come to notice that there are some things in your life that need shift. And as you come to do that, you notice that there's a castle somewhere right there. And you go inside this castle and you pick up your mop and broom and you begin to to clean up the windows slightly. And these windows have become so filled with certain grimes. You begin to clean these windows, and only as you clean the windows, you come to realize that the ray of sunshine is beginning to walk into your castle that you've been meaning to clean. But then you realize, as the sunshine comes in, that it's showing you how dirty your castle has come. So you instinctively go to work and begin to mop and broom, mop and clean. And as you do this cleaning, you come to many realizations of your internal and external being. You begin to clean deeper and deeper and deeper. And as you clean, you may come to realizations that, wow, you're beginning to see more. And sometimes it almost feels like maybe I'm going backwards. The more I see, the more I feel like, wow, I got a lot of things to deal with. But in reality, you are getting further and that's the foundation of healing is that we give you this flashlight and now you're able to see more. And at the beginning, it almost feels like you're going backwards, but you're really going forwards because you're truly dealing with your reality. And that's the essence of, you know, there's a teaching in the ideas of Pessach or compassion or passing over, ancient teaching from Hebrew Egyptian teaching that says that maror, the bitter herb must be chewed on confrontationally. And so this is all about that, just seeing yourself, being with yourself, clearing it, putting an end to it, really facing it once and for all so you don't have to carry this heavy bag of doubts with you all day long. And so you instinctively begin to clean. And as you clean, you're feeling a little lighter and better because you know at least you're dealing with the essence of things that you need to deal with because there's nothing worse than running all day long from things that you don't want to deal with, and they're running after you at the same time, which creates a lot of tension, right? It's kind of like being a debtor all your life. You're always in debt with yourself. You're never living in real time. So I always tell my children 3 things. Live in real time. That means try to just create scenarios where everything is in real time. Don't be in debt with yourself, but you always have to catch up with something and finish something. Just be here. Create your lifestyle in a way that you could be here at any moment and be in any spontaneous space. Two, fall in love with life itself and not a person. Because if you can fall in love with life itself, then all the human beings that will show up, whether it's your lovers and connections and the people that you love and your committed relationships, they will fall in love with you because you're in love with life. And if you can remain in love with life, then life loves you, and the people that love you will be in your surroundings, and you will not be afraid of losing anyone because you will be in love, in love with life itself. And then the third thing I always tell them is don't fall in love, don't get into this obsessiveness of wanting a certain space on Earth. Just take the whole Earth for you. Remember, the whole world is part of you. Part of your home. The world is your home, not just your little house or just your city. When you get limited to that little city, you lose out on so much of the entire universe. So these 3 things, I think, principles that we can carry with ourselves. Today I was sitting with my daughter and sitting at a guest's house, and I asked my daughter, do you know what herbal Bach flower remedy we take for our Aquarius, because she's Aquarius. So right away she goes, yeah, she gives me the name, right? And then I said, what's this specific herb for when it comes to emotional healing? And then she gives me the name. And then I was like, wow, she picked up more stuff from the stuff that I'm teaching than even what I could remember myself, because to her became second nature. She was born into this, right? And I was like, wow, this is so interesting. I think about this before I say it, because I have to remember in my memory. Of course I know it, but I have to think about it. For her, it's just like a quick thing. She just knows it, right? She doesn't have to do anything about it. Of course, maybe she needs to internalize it. So I was wondering, like, what would happen to us if we spend, you know, a focused time on our healing? After like 6 months or a year or 2 years, there'll be a part of your unconscious that's just going to internalize this so much that you don't think twice about it. You just become part of that neural pathway in your brain.

Amazing.

You talked about— Yeah, beautiful. Yes.

Amazing.

You talked about quantum physicists and there's Albert Einstein. He said that, "I'd like to think the moon is there even if I'm not looking at it." Right? And that's a strange thing he's saying. Well, of course it's there if you're not looking at it. Why is he saying this? He says, I'd like to think the moon is there even if I'm not looking at it. That means he's saying that the moon is not there when you're not looking at it, essentially, right? So this is kind of strange to accept, but the quantum physicists are saying, and so does the Kabbalah, that the moon only exists when you look at it. That means you actually give, through the laser of your eyes, life and presence to the things you create in front of you through the visuals. It's like pretty profound if you think about it.

That's pretty cool, man. Let's try to really focus on the actual question and see if we can really get the answer more precise to the question. The second, the question that I have for you now is about spiritual traditions? Because your work draws from diverse spiritual traditions. Obviously, you know, there is Kabbalah, there is Judaism, there is hypnotherapy, there is some, you know, some Eastern meditations and practices and stuff like that. How can our listeners here at the Influencer Mindset Podcast navigate their way through this rich a tapestry of wisdom to find the spiritual practices that resonate most with them? Do you understand the question? Yeah. Because, you know, most of our listeners, I mean, we have a lot of Jewish listeners, but most and the majority of our listeners and followers are not Jewish or connected to any type of, you know, religion or something like that. So we really want to try to to them in a way that includes everyone, every human being on this planet.

Absolutely.

So let me just repeat the last part of the question. So how can they navigate their own way through this rich tapestry of wisdom to find the spiritual practices that resonate most with them?

Yes. Great. Thank you so much, Uzi Moses PhD PhD, for asking that. So, you know, my first premise, at least, is through the meditations that I do is that you've got to follow your heart, right? And actually, I did this talk when I was on stage with Jack Canfield where, you know, how everybody talks about you should follow your heart. And then there's some people that say you should build your mindset, right? And it just really doesn't work because if you follow your mind, then you might not go after your heart. And if you follow your heart, if your heart is just after temptations and you haven't really built your heart, you're just going to go after the wrong things. So in reality, to find your spiritual path, you kind of have to develop more of your relationship with your own heart, with your own feelings, with your own who you are, and then develop a mindset of the direction and integrate these two in order to go towards that path. But how do we do it, right? Sometimes it could be very difficult. How do we do this thing? And how do we find ourselves within our tradition, our religion, our space, wherever we are? Because at least what I teach is universal for everyone, right? It could be I might use certain words and terminologies that are ancient wisdom for modern times, but essentially everything I say is here to resonate with every person in this world, every human being regardless of race and religion and color, right? So how do we really, really, really, really, really, really find this? I think the first step is accepting acceptance, allowance, you know, like the person that's here on this podcast and is listening to us right now, this moment, they have a real choice going on inside them of whether they will allow some of these teachings to be part of their life or whether it actually matches who they are, right? And if it matches who they are, if they can take it to the next step, if they can make this something that can become a part of their life, and if they can connect with this and make action steps and put it to use. So now, please go ahead and ask more questions because I think what you were asking will help me clarify and go to the next step. Your guidance is very appreciated.

Okay, sounds good. So, so look, many people struggle today with information overload. And it's it brings a lot of anxiety, you know, when you get too much information. I mean, there is channels like Gaia, you know, you heard about that channel, which I personally love it. I think it's amazing. But there's a lot of information. And then you have podcasts after podcast after podcast. So how can ancient wisdom And your specific teachings, Shaheen, help individuals find clarity and peace amidst the chaos that's going on.

Yeah, that's good. And we really have, I mean, compared to like 50 years ago, we have so many paths of spirituality that people can use, right? So it's actually, you're right, it's like it could be very overwhelming to even now that you're like, okay, I'm gonna choose a path. Right? It could be very overwhelming to be like, well, what do I choose? What path do I go? How do I do this? So, um, I think that, that everyone should be open to, to try as many things as they want, right? Because if you don't try, you won't know, right? Like me personally, I have tried at least 150 different paths of spirituality, you know. Every few months I tried something. I've been to 12-step programs. I've been to, like I said, NLP, Neuro-Linguistic Repatterning. It is hypnotherapy. I've been to classes where it's hug therapy and hug healing, right? I've been through, you know, exploring your divine masculine, divine feminine selves. I've been through Tibetan wisdom, Reiki, um, Kabbalah, Shabbat connection, um, Sufism, my culture coming from Iran, having all these poetic stuff from Saadi, Hafez, Rumi, right? Traveling through Istanbul. I actually recently just bought a house there also just to be able to go to the East and go to Israel and move around and through like Los Angeles and Florida and have these different spaces. So for me, I'm very open to let's explore and let's get to know each other and let's get to connect. But then it could be scary too, because if you're not firm yet in your stance of who you are and who you're meant to be, then there could be spaces also where you're exploring and then you don't know where you are. And also the other issue that comes in is trust. Like, how do I trust The right teacher, the right element, the right teachings, right? It's like I had a friend who really believed in, you know, a connection with the essence of creation and oneness and godliness and the one God, so to speak. And then he was doing a lot of yoga and he was having a great time. He was actually exploring and growing. And then when he got to his stage with one of his teachers, and this is one particular teacher, when he got to these final stages, he ended up having to go to this other country and travel, and then he realized that they now, the next step is they're going to be literally worshipping idols. So they literally put these idols in front of them, and they had to water them and worship them and bow down to them. So he was confused now because on one hand he learned all these skills, but this worshipping idol thing went against everything everything that he had inside himself because of what he learned when he grew up, right, from monotheism. So we live in a complicated world when it comes to spirituality because, because there's a lot of teachers that will teach a lot of elements that look very fancy and modern and New Age and beautiful, but then you don't know where it's heading towards the end, the roots of it, right?

Right.

And this is one of the things that I like to address early on that I personally, at least, I look at all the teachings, everything I learned from everywhere, including hypnotherapy, I try to find its roots and its essence at the deepest level in the ancient teachings, especially in the Zohar. If I don't find its roots there, I don't mind if it's completely amazing and new. And as long as I could find its roots somewhere where it's based on a fundamental of reality. right? Then I use those techniques. Because if I can't, if I just go free flow and try to adapt everything that around me, it becomes kind of scary, you know, it becomes kind of like, it's like you're in this sea of ocean, and then there's a shark coming, and then a whale comes, and then this algae comes from under, and, you know, you could, you could grow a lot, but you can also be very unstable. So I do believe that we need to, eventually, we need to find a path. And follow through to completion because there could be many great paths, but if you try to do all of them, you'll be a jack of all trades and master of none, and you won't complete your correction in this world really. So it's always good to pay attention to how can I go all the way with whatever it is? How can I be fully immersed? At least experience this for this year fully and then jump around, right? And then maybe if it's not, then jump around to something else.

I mean, you know, there is many, many different teachings and many different, you know, cultures and ways to teach, but there is really one fundamental truth that applies to each and every living being. And I think it's more has to do with the idea that we are created beings and there is a godly part inside of us. And the more we are stressed, the more we are physical, it's hard for us to feel it. So we first need to kind of work on ourselves and to be less physical so we can connect to that amazing spiritual spark that we have inside of us. And I think that has to do with every human being, with everything. Everything, it's all pretty much—

Less physical, right?

Yeah. So, so let's go—

So we can make room for the spirit, you're saying? Yes, exactly.

Make a vessel, because as long as you are constantly busy with, you know, physical things, and that person, and that thing, and that place, and whatever, everything that's physical, you are missing out on your own spirituality. Your own godly spark that's within you. But if you are able to, you know, through meditation, through prayer, through whatever that works for you, it's just that you need to, you know, each one with their culture, each one with their level, to really able to, I wouldn't say disconnect because it's like disconnect in order to connect. You just disconnect the physical reality to connect to something amazing. Because the physical reality that we see, which I love to call the world of separation, is obviously an illusion. It's not real. And the problem with a lot of people that they are hanging on to that illusion and they're trying to fight physicality with physicality. And that never works. It just takes time. And just, you know, we have to change the physicality through spirituality, which means we have to connect to something higher than the illusion that we are.

Yeah, that's beautiful the way you said it. Thank you. For sure. You just reminded me of something. I just shared a video with one of my seminars. There was a there was a bull, he was next to this lake. And so he noticed that there's 4 lions running after him to hunt him down. So he jumped into the lake. But when he jumped into the lake, now there was 2 alligators waiting to chop him down. So now he's swimming back and forth, but he knows if he gets out of the lake, the 4 lions are waiting over there. And if he stays too long into this lake, the alligators are after him. So finally he managed after lots of swimming swimming and going around and around to get out of the lake without getting bitten by the alligators. And when he came out again, he saw the 4 lions are waiting. He's like, now what? Literally, you could see it on his face, right? And then I left an audio voice for my VIP seminar group that, so what is this lonely bull supposed to do even though he's a bull and he has all this power, but he can't defend himself because he has 4 lions there and 5 alligators here? And he's going to run out of energy, right? What would be the answer? What's the one thing that if he had, that would have gotten him out of, you know, all this trouble? And that one thing would have been a friend, right? Like a good friend, a buddy, or someone, or 2, 3 of them together. Togetherness, right? Because we really can't do it alone, because since we're all sparks of one entity, let's call it Adam and Eve or whatever you want to call it, We can't do it alone. So if we can't do it alone, then it becomes a serious problem if you try to go at it alone. And this is one of the reasons I love collaborations of this type is because it opens us up. It lets us see that there is a togetherness. Somebody can call and say, you know, today I feel down and the other person gives them that love and acceptance. It could change their world. There's a famous wrestling that goes on with Jacob and the angel of death. So to speak, or the angel that wrestles him till morning in his dreams. And then the Hebrew words say something beautiful. It says, "Hai ta'Yakov levado vayevater ish imo ad halot hashachar," that Jacob was alone and this negative entity or whatever challenging entity started to wrestle with him all the way till morning until the light came out. And as soon as the light came out, there was no more wrestling. But the first word is the whole wrestling, the whole fight began because he was alone. If he would've never been alone, there would be no fight, right? Because as soon as you're together with the people that you love, you feel loved in this universe, you know there's a connection, you're not alone, there's a creator and there's a creation, the people are all creatures that you love and you could trust and you can be vulnerable and you can connect and you can give hugs and you could be loving and you can have intimacy, all of a sudden, a lot of your fears disappear. This, this ego of wanting to be all to myself, I'm gonna do it all by myself, which is a serious American problem we have. Because I could tell you this is true because I've been traveling the East and all around the world through like Thailand, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Ghorghistan, and then in the United States, like Florida, California, Maryland, New York, right? And I'm noticing that there's an independence that we're seeking that is causing us to actually, like, literally become sick and unconnected, right? And so it's a great thing to just realize that we can't do it alone, even though independence is beautiful, but we need to invite other people into our hearts and find a way, and then our loneliness dissipates. So there's a reason that we can get a lot more listeners right now listening to us than if I were to talk alone, because two hearts come together, it becomes more powerful, right?

Yes.

Even statistically, right? So it's quite a statistic.

And that brings me to the final question of this podcast. Which is about your extraordinary journey, Shane. I've known you for quite some time. I think probably more than 10 years.

Yes, more.

Yeah, probably more. You've always been an amazing friend and always positive vibration. I felt that even before you were— I still remember when you were just in your production company. And it was beautiful to see how you developed into, you know, the spiritual teacher and leader in your field, which is an amazing thing. And it's really been an extraordinary journey. If you could give one piece of advice to our listeners to ignite their inner power and unleash their full potential, What would it be?

Ignite your inner power, unleash your potential. I would say that embrace vulnerability. Allow yourself to be scared. Allow yourself to feel your feelings all the way to completion. Know that when you're taking this journey, that even though you may be scared in certain parts and you may not be able to feel like whether you can complete it all the way or not, there's so many other people that are having those same feelings, but they would never tell you. And so if you can imagine that whatever you're feeling, somebody else next to you is feeling, but they're also not telling you necessarily, it becomes less scary and you become more courageous and you do more wild spontaneous things to break through to the, to come to the aspect of your inner essence, to explore yourself, to really break through yourself, to see split it, split your own Red Sea to really, you know, have that amazing journey that you want to have. Because the more you hide away from your true essence, the more you're scared to express who you are. I mean, look, this is a podcast, so obviously we're here to express, right? So we might as well talk about it. The more you hide, right, the more you will hide from yourself and nobody else, and then you shrink. The more you expand, you come out, you take risks to be seen or even be embarrassed, the more you explore, the more you get out there, right? Both of us, as we're talking, I think we've both gone through the past 15, 20 years through a lot of exposures. We're sitting here doing— I'm sure when you started this podcast, the first moment, there was like thoughts where you had to break through something, learn something, be seen more at a different level. Even though you've done so many amazing films and movies, each step probably was another breakthrough, you know? And for me too, each time I come on these podcasts and connections and world meetings and all these things, each time it's new, each time it's unique, each time there's a moment where I'm like, can I really be a shining star? Like there's still that question that still comes, you know? And so it's like, what am I gonna talk about? Well, I'm sure it'll come out, but let's see what if, like I wanna make sure I touch people at the level of what they wanna hear. All these thoughts, right? So I remember there was a time about 14, 13, 14 years ago, the producers of Glee, Spider-Man, Hugo, they had this, whenever those movies were coming out, they had this meeting where there was like 2,000 high schoolers that they were gonna speak to. And there was one speaker that was supposed to be there and it got canceled, so they invited me to speak. So I was just there by, I guess, default of the cancellation. And they told me like an hour before and say, would you like to take this? And I said, would you like to talk about the subject of creativity and the mind and subconscious? I said, sure. And I jumped in there because I could tie up my hypnotherapy practice plus the video productions. And I was like, that's perfectly imagery and all these things. So I jumped up and I did this talk. And right before I jumped up in front of 2,000 people, it was my first time actually in front of 2,000 people. Right before I did it, I was frozen. Like, and I called one of my good friends and I said, listen, I think I'm just completely frozen. I have no idea what happened to me. He's like, well, that's because you're in your ego right now. It's because you think that everybody's looking at you. But if you just fix your intent of what you want to bring out to the people and get out of yourself, everything's just going to flow. And I was like, I couldn't believe the words he said could actually work, right? Because right before it, I was so stuck. And I started to focus on the intent. I was like, my intent is to help people with more creativity, to break through, to be vulnerable in front of people, and let's make this happen. So I go up on the stage. This was literally my first stage in front of 2,000 people, my first talk. I go up on the stage and I decide I'm going to pick like 3 people, like one on the left, one in the middle, one on the right, and just I speak to those as I turn because if I look at all the eyes, I'm going to go like this. So I look at the one person on the left and I focus and I speak about my sentence is what I'm saying. I look at the one person in the middle and I focus, but the crowd thinks I'm talking to all of them, but I can't because I'm scared, right? So I'm just looking at one, two, three, and I keep turning every once in a while. So anyways, this thing started to roll and I opened up and I became more vulnerable to myself. And I began to see the intent and the resonation of the people and the connection. And before I knew it, I was dissolving and I was becoming one with the room. And I was becoming one with the room and I experienced a level of strange prophecy that day. It's like I felt like there is no me anymore, you know? And I became one with the room and it was really interesting. I never felt that way, like, you know, that, you know, 15 years ago, I never could even imagine feeling that way, becoming one with the room, like where you just, I didn't exist. And I had just become this spirit that's one with the whole room. And I thought it's just a temporary experience that's just nice. But ever since that day, I changed as a person, right? By default of the fact that so many people needed to hear this. So here's something really cool I want to share with you. You actually don't have to be so incredible to do great things because I know I wasn't so incredible when I did this. You just, by the virtue of other people being like people that want to connect with you and need something that you have that to offer, by channeling it, the creation or God or whatever you want to call it gives you this extra light that passes through you and you become morphing into that reality. So you actually get additional weapons, so to speak, of light just by becoming of service to other people. So that's a cool thing. If like, at the beginning, you don't know what to do with yourself, you have depression, you're sad, you want to get out of yourself. Maybe a— not— this is not necessarily the best motivation, but it will help you get out of yourself is like you can tell yourself, I'm going to get all these weapons if I help people because I need to, because those people need my help and the universe provides, right? It kind of like throws you into that space. I find that to be a good motivation at the beginning until you reach deeper levels of like doing it for its own sake.

That's amazing. Also, I think it has to do with the idea that when we start to focus less on the physical world, which is the world of illusion and separation, and we are focusing more on the world that is the real world, so to say, just like in The Matrix, the real world, which is the world of connection where we are all one. And this also brings us back to how science kind of discovered what the Torah have known for thousands of years, that there is one quantum field that pretty much we are all one and connected. And the more we focus on that, the less we focus on the physical world, then we become a consciousness. We become just a consciousness that can observe. And just like what you experience on that stage, that you become one and you didn't feel your body. This is kind of like that experience that the consciousness becomes one with everyone. And this is something that we can experience now if we have, you know, if we are able to, you know, kind of understand those concepts and practice and work on ourselves. To grow into that ability, that meditative state where we are one and connected with everyone on this planet. What can I say, Shaheen? This was such an incredible conversation. So much for having me. It's such a pleasure. I feel honored having you, brother, and I'm really looking forward to see what's next.
