Transcripts
Awakening is not a destination. There is no final moment where all mysteries are revealed. Consciousness is always expanding, always evolving. Civilization is an ongoing process. So growth is not about reaching an endpoint, but about deepening your understanding and fully experiencing life as it unfolds. True wisdom is not about knowing everything. It's about being present. True peace is not about avoiding challenges. It's about finding stillness within them. And true enlightenment is not about escaping the world. It's about embracing it completely. Living in awareness means choosing thoughts that uplift, responding to life with love, and creating peace within yourself, regardless of external chaos. And this isn't something that happens overnight. It's a practice. Welcome to a Changed Mind, a journey into the topics that matter to you most. From the neuroscience and spirituality of mindset and personal growth, to groundbreaking strategies for health, wealth, and relationships, to open and honest conversations about pressing global issues such as the environment, censorship, corporate capture, and democracy. Each and every episode reminds us of the certainty of the goodness of the future and provides the teachings, tools, and timeless wisdom, inspiring you to create real, lasting change in your life and in the world. If you've been desiring a sanctuary for your spirit, a place to go to tune out the distraction, negativity, and doom and gloom so that you can tap into the deep power, the vibrancy, and the potential you have inside, you're in the right place. Welcome to a Changed mind.
Hey, it's David. Welcome to a Changed mind. A sanctuary for your spirit. A place where each and every episode, I remind you of the certainty of the goodness of the future. I'm your friend, your host, your guide. David Bayer. What if I told you that your personal transformation isn't just about you? And that every realization you've had, every shift in your awareness, every breakthrough in consciousness isn't just changing your life, but it's changing the world. Because here's the truth. You are not separate from the whole. Your thoughts, your energy, your awakening. These things don't exist in isolation. They ripple outward, influencing an unseen web that connects all of us. Right now, something really incredible is happening. A global shift in consciousness. And more people than ever before are breaking free from limitation, waking up to their true nature and realizing that the world we see is a reflection of the consciousness that shapes it. But what does this matter to you? How does your personal awakening contribute to something greater? And how can understanding the collective consciousness help you step into even greater power and even greater purpose? That's exactly what we're exploring in this final episode. Now, by the end of this, you won't just understand your role in this global transformation. You'll feel it. So let's dive in. Now, the path of awakening is not one that you walk alone. While your personal journey may feel deeply individual, filled with all kinds of struggles, all kinds of breakthroughs, all kinds of transformation, its impact really extends way beyond just you. Every shift in awareness, every elevation in consciousness literally sends waves into the world, influencing the unseen fabric that connects all beings. Now, the Hindus referred to this as the Akasha. The Buddhists refer to it as the great shining body of radiance that has no beginning nor no end. Some people refer to it as the ether, or the unified field. Everything is connected, and your growth is not isolated. Every breakthrough in awareness contributes to the greater whole. The transformation of one person is the transformation of the collective. And that's why people have suggested that one awakened being has the power of millions of unawakened people. And so, just as a drop of water merges with the ocean, your consciousness is woven into a vast, interconnected field of energy. And when you awaken to this truth, you begin to see that your thoughts, your emotions, and your actions are not only shaping your personal experience, they're influencing the entire world. Every choice you make ripples outward. Every moment of clarity adds to the evolution of human consciousness, and every act of love and wisdom lifts the whole. Now, if you're listening to this show, you're probably somebody who sees a lot of things in the world that you'd like to see changed. And you're probably somebody who wants to play an active role in that change out there. So Gandhi talked about it, be the change that you want to see in the world, we're going to dive deep into how this is actually true. Because just like the transformation that is positive that occurs within you when you transform a limiting belief, when you let go of a childhood trauma, when you metabolize or digest some form of fear and you spit it out the other end, it ripples into the rest of humanity. Likewise, fear and ignorance do not exist in isolation. Resentment and judgment do not exist in isolation. So just as love expands, so too can limitation, reinforcing cycles of suffering when left unchallenged. And so this makes your role in raising the collective frequency undeniable. By elevating yourself, you help elevate humanity. Now, every living being is part of a vast, energetic web. Just as individual cells contribute to the health of an entire body, each person plays a role in shaping the energetic state of the whole. So whether you're aware of it or not, the frequency you hold meaning. Your consistent habit of thoughts and emotions, the consistency of the vibration that has resonated through your nervous system, influences not just your immediate surroundings, but extends far beyond affecting others in profound ways. So a single person radiating peace can literally calm an entire room. An individual choosing to embody love over fear uplifts those around them, even without them having to even speak a word. A mind free from limitation becomes an inspiration to those still caught in self imposed barriers. And when more people step into this level of awareness, the collective vibration begins to rise. And this is how great shifts in human evolution occur. Not through external force, but through. Not through political manipulation, but through an internal awakening in enough individuals to tip the balance. And this is actually what we see happening today. A lot of what we're seeing in terms of changes externally, whether you like them or not, are a result of changes in consciousness. Right now, the old system, a system that's been around for thousands of years, is beginning to fall apart as a new system is emerging. And that new system will be dependent upon our level of consciousness. A lot of people have had a lot of different opinions about a lot of different presidents. But one of the things I like to say is we always get the president that we deserve. And if there is somebody out there who you think is a noble candidate for president, who upholds the values that you represent, that you share, and they don't win for president, it's simply because our collective consciousness is not there yet. And throughout history, movements of profound change have often started with a handful of awakened individuals. Beings who transcended the illusion of separation and recognized their influence within the greater Design. And their mere presence began to shift consciousness. Their energy ignited transformation in those around them. So true leaders do not impose change. They embody it. And the change follows. For centuries, sciences focused on the tangible and the measurable, dismissing what could not be seen. Yet now modern research and science is beginning to confirm what ancient wisdom has long taught. Consciousness is not confined to an individual. It is a force that shapes reality itself. So studies on group intention reveal that when large numbers of people focus on a shared thought, whether for peace or healing or transformation, measurable changes occur in the physical world. Experiments have demonstrated that collective meditation can reduce crime rates, lower societal stress, and even influence global events. And we can measure that the energy field of a single person in a heightened state of awareness can alter the electromagnetic field of those nearby, creating a ripple effect of coherence and balance. So the universe is not separate from your mind. The world is not merely observed. It is Influenced by the consciousness that is perceiving it. And this is not just theory, it is a fundamental truth. When you shift your focus, the world actually shifts in response. You remember that great scene from the Matrix where there's the. I think it's a little girl or a little boy, it's a little bald child sitting in a room. When Neo walks in to talk to the Oracle about whether or not he's the One. And the spoon bends and the young child says, it's actually not the spoon that bends, it's actually you that bend. And the spoon responds. This is the world shifting in that response. And when enough people hold a vision of peace, of unity and higher understanding, reality begins to bend toward that frequency and really anything is possible. Like the little child said, there actually is no spoon. Everything that we're experiencing externally is a projection of our internal consciousness. And when you move beyond personal awakening and into awareness of the collective, your perspective expands. And that's why I saved this conversation for the last of this four part series. If you haven't caught any of the other three episodes, the links are in the show description below. But this is the final stage where really you have maximum influence on your surroundings, surroundings and reality itself. Because you no longer see your own evolution as separate from the whole. Instead, you recognize yourself as a part of something vast, something immeasurable. You stop living solely for personal gain and you begin aligning with a greater purpose. Your presence becomes a source of healing, not by effort, but by your state of being. And you stop trying to fix the world and instead embody the change that allows it to transform naturally. And this is really the silent revolution. The movement that does not rely on force, but on the undeniable power of presence itself. And so the world as we know it is shifting right now. The rise in awareness, all of this great work that we're all doing in personal growth or spiritual awakening, learning how to take our past and create a re perspective of it that empowers us to move forward as that takes an effect on our nervous system. As we start to learn how to downregulate our nervous system rather than living in fight or flight or fear. The rise in awareness happening today is not actually random. It is the natural progression of human consciousness breaking free from limitation. What we're actually seeing is an evolution of consciousness, which I believe is truly what the process of civilization is. As more people awaken to their inherent power, the old systems built on fear and division begin to dissolve. No structure built on illusion can withstand the light of the Truth. And so, as humanity's frequency rises, what no longer serves will fall away, making room for a new paradigm, one that's built on interconnectedness, wisdom, and harmony. What's so interesting about this is that the old system falls apart not by us discovering how to tear it down, but simply by no longer feeding our attention, our energy, and our consciousness into it. Of course, we'll look back and we'll say, well, so and so developed this new thing, like blockchain or cryptocurrency or Bitcoin or a new political party emerged. But all of that is actually, in effect, it's a byproduct of a change in consciousness. As we elevate our consciousness, as we heal what is inside of us that's ready to be healed, we activate ideas that have always existed in consciousness, and we become the recipients of those ideas, and we translate those ideas into actual material phenomenon in the world. So we will create the change. But make no mistake, the change itself is a byproduct of a change in consciousness. So this transformation is not happening to the world. It is happening through those who choose to awaken within it. To understand collective consciousness is to understand the immense significance of every thought, every word, every action. Nothing is meaningless. Everything you do has an impact. Every moment of self awareness expands the potential for others to awaken.
Every decision that you make from love instead of fear, helps dissolve the old patterns of suffering, not just in your own life, but everywhere. And even in solitude, the work that you do within yourself ripples outward, touching lives in ways you cannot see. So as more people rise into this understanding, the vision of a world built on love, wisdom, and peace is no longer an abstract hope. It becomes an unfolding reality. And one of my favorite stories in the Bible, and I have many, is the story of Moses who goes to Pharaoh and says, listen, my higher power. The burning bush. The I am that I am. God commanded that I come to you and tell you, you must free the slaves. Free the Hebrew slaves. And what you'll note in that story is not that Moses led a revolution or an uprising against Pharaoh or a military battle. What happened in that great shift, one of the greatest historical shifts of all time, they simply walked away. They stopped feeding their attention into the fear, into the fear of Pharaoh. And as they walked away, the old system fell apart. How did the old system fall apart? Well, through a series of miracles that occurred right in the Bible. They were being pursued into the Red Sea, and Moses, upon command of God, stretched out his hand, the seas parted, and they were able to pass through to the other side while Pharaoh's armies were drowned in the seas. But you can see the story of humanity unfolding now through the lens of that great walking away, that great opt out that occurred in the Old Testament. We can also see how scary it is because it's not lined with logic. This idea that, wait a minute, all we need to do is stop paying attention and then the old systems will fall. Yes, again, not that we won't have thoughts, we won't have ideas, we won't take action, we won't create new aspects of a system. But it's not by feeding into or overthrowing the old system, and as we do that there is a fear, there is an uncertainty. If you'll remember in that story, as Moses was leading the Hebrews into the promised land, meaning the new system, they were afraid because of the uncertainty and they wanted to be taken back to slavery or to Pharaoh. But this is the great shift, and the great shift is already in motion. And the question is not whether the world will change, it's how you will choose to participate in that change. Will you recognize your role in the rising consciousness of humanity and therefore embrace your power to influence the world not through control, not through scarcity, not through fear, but through the clarity of your being. Will you allow yourself to become an instrument of transformation simply by embodying the highest truth that you can access? So a new reality is emerging, not through revolution, but through an awakening that cannot be stopped. I hear a lot of people, political pundits, talking about all these black swan events and all the things that may go wrong and how there's more things that could go wrong and wrong in the biggest way possible than ever before. Whether it's a World War 3 or whether it's another pandemic, or whether it's a financial collapse. And one of the things that motivated me to start this channel was actually my belief in the certainty of the goodness of the future. You hear that in every episode. Welcome to a changed mind, a sanctuary for your spirit. A place where each and every episode I remind you of the certainty of the future. And the reason why I'm so certain about it is because consciousness cannot be stopped. It will continue to evolve, it will continue to grow towards the promised land, towards the realization of what you might call heaven on earth. Does that mean it's going to be a linear path? No. Does that mean that there won't be some significant bumps along the way? No. That's what change is. As old falls away and new Forms. It's a pretty dramatic experience, but it's going to occur, and you can be a part of it. The only choice is whether you will step into it fully, allowing your light to guide the way for others or not. There comes a point in your journey when the search itself begins to dissolve. The mind, once filled with endless questions and restlessness, starts to quiet, not because it has found all the answers, but because it finally realizes that there was never anything to chase in the first place. And what once felt like an outward journey of seeking wisdom and enlightenment turns inward, revealing that everything you were looking for was always within you. And this is the moment of surrender. And this is the point where the ego, with all its illusions of control and separation, begin to fade. And so in this final stage of collective consciousness, this is where we transcend the ego. And it doesn't mean destroying it. It means seeing it for what it is, a temporary identity, a construct designed to help you navigate this physical world. And the ego convinces you that you are separate, that you must fight, that you must achieve, that you must prove your worth. It thrives on comparison, division and attachment. It is always searching for something more, yet never feeling fully satisfied.
And so what we see right now in the world is this simultaneous awakening with the simultaneous last throes of the ego. While more and more people are learning how to live in compassion and love and are searching a spiritual solution to the world's problems, there are also more and more people who are moving into greater and greater levels of fear. But when awareness shines on the ego, its grip weakens. And you begin to see that the self you've been defending, the version of you shaped by labels and achievements and fears, is not the real you. It is simply a mask, a collection of ideas and experiences. And the moment you realize this, the need to control, to be right, to seek validation, begins to fall away. So surrender is not giving up. It's actually letting go. And it is the willingness to trust, to trust in the unfolding of life, to trust in the intelligence of the universe, to trust that you don't have to control everything for it to work out. And when you surrender, struggle disappears. So a lot of what's occurring in the world today is an invitation to surrender. There are so many things in our individual lives or our collective lives that we cannot control. And that does not mean to give up in a hopelessness or a desperation. It means to allow life to provide the solutions and to put in front of us the action that we should take, rather than living in fear. So Instead of resisting life, you flow with it. Instead of trying to manipulate circumstances, you. You align with them. Fear fades because you no longer see yourself as separate from the greater whole. So judgment begins to disappear. The mind, once quick to label things as right or wrong, good or bad, worthy or unworthy, softens. And you begin to see beyond appearances. So that person who once seemed like an enemy, they're simply another soul on their own journey. That challenge that once felt unfair, it was simply a lesson leading you to something greater. That fear of failure, it was never real, Just a story your ego told to keep you safe. And when you start to see life through this lens, resentment fades. Compassion replaces judgment. And you no longer feel the need to hold onto grudges because you understand that everyone is doing the best they can from their level of awareness. Now, the ego clings to control because it believes that safety comes from certainty. It tries to shape reality through force, chasing after things, manipulating outcomes, and grasping tightly to what feels secure. But in truth, real power doesn't come from control. It comes from alignment. And so, when you trust in the oneness, in the natural rhythm of life, you no longer have to force things into place. You start to believe that what is meant for you will come, that what is meant for you will leave. Or what is not meant for you will leave. And in both cases, you'll be exactly where you are supposed to be. And this realization brings the greatest freedom, which is the release of attachment. So, no longer bound by the illusion that happiness exists outside of you, you begin to experience life in a new way. Relationships become about connection, not dependence. You love freely, without the fear of loss or rejection. Success is no longer measured by external standards. You define it by the depth of your peace, not by what society expects. And the fear of endings dissolves. You understand that nothing is ever truly lost. Everything is simply shifting, changing, and evolving. And at this stage, love is no longer a transaction. It is your natural state of being. And so you give without expectation. You love without conditions, not because you expect something in return, but because it is simply who you are. And so this is the state of oneness. In this awareness, service to others becomes effortless. There is no longer a feeling of separation between me and them. And helping another person is so clearly helping yourself. Because you see that you're all connected. Every act of kindness ripples outward, affecting far more than you could possibly see. Every moment of compassion raises the collective energy of the world. Every time you choose love over fear, you create space for others to do the same. You know the greatest Teachers didn't serve out of obligation or personal gain. They served because they had reached a level of understanding where giving was simply a natural expression of their being. And when you overflow with abundance of love, of wisdom, of peace, you naturally share it. And in giving, nothing is lost. In fact, the more you give, the more you realize that true abundance was never external, it was always within you. So this is the final realization that there is nothing to seek, there's nothing to achieve, there's nothing to become, and you are safe. The illusion of separation dissolves, and what remains is the eternal truth that you were never separate from the whole in the first place, and that you were never apart from the divine, that you were always connected, always complete. And so the journey really ends where it started. I reminded of this now more than ever with my two and a half year old son. Someone who's living in his joy, who's expressing his emotions, who believes in possibility. We're returning to where the journey started in the first place. And not in some distant place, not in a future paradise, but right here in this moment. The world is the same, but you get to experience it differently. The sun still rises and sets, the wind still moves, life still unfolds. But now you're moving with it instead of against it. And there's no more searching, because the search is over. There's nothing left to do but to live, to love, and to be. Now, awakening is not a destination. There is no final moment where all mysteries are revealed. Consciousness is always expanding, always evolving. Civilization is an ongoing process. So growth is not about reaching an endpoint, but about deepening your understanding and fully experiencing life as it unfolds. True wisdom is not about knowing everything, it's about being present. True peace is not about avoiding challenges, it's about finding stillness within them. And true enlightenment is not about escaping the world, it's about embracing it completely. Living in awareness means choosing thoughts that uplift, responding to life with love and creating peace within yourself, regardless of external chaos. And this isn't something that happens overnight. It's a practice beyond personal growth. Your awakening is not just for you, it's for the world. You uplift others not through forceful teachings, but by simply being an example. Every act of kindness, every moment of presence, every choice made from love instead of fear sends ripples further than you can imagine. The journey of consciousness never ends, and that is its greatest gift. The more you embrace the unknown with an open heart, the more you find that everything you were searching for was always right here, waiting to be seen. So the best thing to do is keep walking forward. Not because you're incomplete or you're broken or there's something to fix, but because life itself is an invitation to experience, to love, and to expand. And you're exactly where you're meant to be. So I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you.
