Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 687
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how to face a situation where the people close to you think your spiritual growth is crazy and how Wetiko shows up in our lives.
Today's Question
@Bijou_248: “Everything follows the process of life, death, and rebirth, and WETIKO holds the poison and CURE. EVOLUTION= LOVE. I tried to express this understanding to family but they thought I was talking Woo-woo, nonsense because SCIENCE can't explain our individual – phenomenal experiences. I am continually amazed by Synchronicity = soul timing.”

[00:00] Intro
What's up, everybody? It's Wellness + Wisdom. This is Josh Trent and today is our AMA where we talk about Ask Me Anything. Now look, anything means anything, right?
On this podcast, we explore the wellness pentagon, which is the way we nourish or starve ourselves through the 5 sides of self, our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial you. That's why you're here.
That's why you clicked on this because you're interested in growing the nourishment of all these 5 sides of yourself.
And this episode is really unique because it came from a YouTube question that we're going to read today. But before we get to the YouTube question, I want to introduce my co-pilot.
As always, Mar in the island of the Azores, living her best life with vitamin D and the ocean that I just love so much. Mar, How's life treating you today?
It's been treating me well, I would say. There are ups and downs all the time, but it's just how you approach it. And I really like the topic that we're going to discuss today because it's something that I've personally struggled with, especially lately.
I've been trying to find a way how to express this part of I've been trying to deny it for some reason, maybe feeling a little bit ashamed that I believe in God and I come from a country that's not a country that would believe in God at all. So I feel a little bit of shame around that topic. So I'm trying to discover what is a way for me to express this part of me…
[03:10] Why Is Your Spiritual Growth Seen As Crazy?
Let's get into the question.
Wow ~ I could relate to this and see resonance in both speakers. I was adopted by my maternal grandfather and his new wife when I was a year old. Deep taboos in the family and my birth.
It wasn't until 2000, a tragic breaking away that led me on the path of self-discovery. 2009, Dark Night of the Soul ~ (experience of maternal womb) I had a Rebirth. I knew, there's a battle for our SOULS – past history lists all the historical events of evil (timeline leading back to 180 A.D.)
I was on a mission to re-claim mine (SOUL). I realized this Wetiko – but called it, “Familial Hypnotic Trance” . . .. this global SPELL. I had BROKEN myself out of my ancestral SIN (blindness, missing the mark).
It felt like I was part of a BALL OF COSMIC STAR LIGHT, that had exploded into a million shattered pieces and then, it (LIGHT) came back into a NEW. Everything follows the process of life, death, and rebirth, and WETIKO holds the poison and CURE. EVOLUTION= LOVE
I tried to express this understanding to family but they thought I was talking Woo-woo, nonsense because SCIENCE can't explain our individual – phenomenal experiences. I am continually amazed by Synchronicity = soul timing. New Subscriber to your channel❤ 🙏
I can remember when I first started diving into plant medicine, 2016, 2017, I believe. My family thought I was crazy. And honestly, I thought it was crazy too. And I'm not here to start this conversation that people should run out and drink ayahuasca or do mushrooms at all.
But anytime you want to change your results, you have to be willing to look at changing your behavior. Because if you keep doing the same thing in your life, you're just going to get the same result over and over and over again.
You know, to quote Carl Jung, your faculty in your mind that Jung was talking about with this quote is really about the things that you cannot see the unconscious incompetence that you don't even know you don't know.
And he said, Until you make the unconscious conscious, it'll rule your life and you'll call it fate. So all the things I just did an Instagram LIVE on this by the way more like right before we recorded this. So y'all go to Instagram because I did a deeper dive on this too.
And it was all the things that we have been encoded or imprinted with, we believe those to be true and we don't even know why we believe it to be true, yet it continues to create for many of us challenging results, challenging relationships, challenging illness, and just challenges that we are creating because we're the author of our story, y'all.
This is just a game and we're playing the game so once you get clear on whatever game you're playing and you hold true to that game there really isn't space for people judging you and thinking your spiritual path is crazy because it's just part of your game What am I really trying to get out here?
What I'm getting at is many people's beliefs when religion or God or spirituality came from when we were together in hunter-gatherer tribes.
We needed a way thousands and thousands of years ago to give a moral understanding of what God is. And so we put language to it, which is religion. And religion became its own construct, where it became really bastardized by the ego of man, where the church had to be a dealer between you and God.
And I'm here to tell you, you do not need a church, you do not need plant medicine, you don't need anything to connect with God, except for your own willing heart. So I can relate to what he's saying here, Bijou, it may be a man or a woman, I don't know. I'm guessing it's a woman if it's Bijou, it's kind of sounds like a cool cat name, Bijou.
So let's just say it's a woman. So what I hear from her is that she could see resonance and she brought up something really interesting because in the word evolution is the word love, which I absolutely connect with.
And I've said this many times on the podcast and just in my own personal life too, in order for us to evolve we have to be to embody love and a lot of times embodying love means you're gonna piss some people off especially in your family a lot of the times what was taught to be loving in a family is actually not loving at all, right?…
[17:55] Wetiko = Coldness of The Heart
The Bible indirectly describes what Wetiko is. As a blindness of the mind correlated to the coldness of the heart.
So when you have a coldness of the heart, when you have closed your heart to curiosity, when you've closed your heart to playfulness, when I have closed my heart to someone calling me crazy, then I have 0 curiosity about anything they're saying that could be true and I have no reference point for my individual truth or my journey actually being real because I have no reference point for someone else's point of view.
When I have a coldness of the heart, when I've closed my heart to everyone else's verbiage or everyone else's opinion, I actually robbed myself of a spiritual growth moment. Now, it doesn't mean that you have to take what your family is saying as reality, right?
You don't have to wear it. You don't have to let it hit your heart and go deep in there and start to create a belief. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that, look at what's happening on social media right now, where we have camps that are Democrats and Republicans, pro this, anti that, fight for this, defend against that.
All it does is just create more war, more suffering, and more division. That's the opposite of evolution. But paradoxically, it has to occur this way because the only way that we know is through conflict.
So what Paul is talking about, and what the Bible indirectly says, the blindness of the mind is correlated to the coldness of the heart, what that means is, and what the Bible is saying, if you can have a beginner's mind, and we talked about this on an upcoming episode with Paul Chek that we'll link in the show notes, it is a barn-buster episode.
It is literally one of my favorite episodes about this topic, right? Paul was labeled as absolutely insane when he came out with Swiss ball training. People called him a weirdo, why would you train with a Swiss ball, and now Swiss balls are totally accepted.
It's the same thing with his spirit gym and with all his teachings around God and modernity. So if we have a coldness of the heart, and I can think back in my life to even being a parent, I used to believe more, this is how crazy the coldness of my heart was.
I used to believe that circumcision was not only normal, but it was healthy. I actually believe that. And it wasn't until getting informed by the feminine wisdom of Carrie Michelle, watching documentaries, seeing how it's a very barbaric Judaic practice that's 1 step away, Jung described, from child mutilation, child sacrifice. That's what, that's essentially what it is.
I became aware that my beliefs were not only not of service, that they were truly unloving and they could have been, I mean, I'm so thankful that my beliefs didn't get transferred onto my son. Can you imagine if I would have allowed the tip of his penis to get cut off in the first day or year or week of his life? That would have been so traumatic for him, right? So traumatic.
But I used to believe I was harbored by Wetiko that was taught to me by my parents who were taught society who is actually informed by a very demonic energy in the Judaic faith. And I'm not anti-Semitism, so don't label me that. Every religion has its darkness, right? Christianity, Islam, they all have darkness.
But what I'm saying is that the coldness in my heart and the lack of open-mindedness to even hearing someone else's point of view could have caused my son pain. Could have caused my son pain.
So this is a call to be emotionally regulated enough and to do the work of emotional regulation, to be open to what your family is saying to you when they say that you're crazy.
Does it mean you're crazy? Maybe, maybe not. But it's up to you and your soul to decide what is gonna evolve here in the most loving way and are the that I'm making actually going to provide myself and my loved ones and the people I care about a good result? Because that's the game that we're playing…
