Are you facing a crisis in your life or business? It's time to steer yourself in the right direction through the real experiences, passion and courage of our guests. We're taking the helm with your host, Lynn McLaughlin.
[00:00:20]
Now, I'm just coming down off cloud nine. We had our Ontario reception for my son and new daughter-in-law just about a week ago and they were wed on the East Coast.
It was a beautiful ceremony. But here in Ontario, we have a very large family. My husband has five siblings, I have five, and we were all able to come together for a day of celebration. And in this episode with our guest Monty, I share a very powerful insight into a moment in time where I could have made a decision which would have not been a very good one. But instead, because I was present, I made the right decision and enjoyed some fabulous time with my children and husband altogether.
[00:01:35]
And that doesn't happen very often anymore. Now, let me introduce today's guest, Monty Richlings. He's always had a passion for the esoteric world. He studied core belief, engineering, mind dynamics, heart residence therapy, Jitsu and Reiki. He's developed a connection with source.
[00:01:52]
He has a never ending quest to understand the human mind and its impact on people's lives from an intuitive perspective. His passions are personal evolution, nature and traveling. He is the author of six books. We're going to talk about Aquarius, rising mind management, conscious parenting, and Monty and I will be bantering back and forth because of our different belief systems. Welcome to taking the helmet, Monty.
[00:02:18]
Hi, Monty. Thanks very much for joining us today. Wonderful to see you again. All right, well, listen, we're going to have a conversation that might be unsettling for many people, but I think it needs to happen. Monty and I will agree or won't agree on many points, and that's what a conversation is all about, right? Yeah. You know what I love? Monty and I have spoken on the phone. We've had to get to know you call. And I think a large part of our society has lost the ability to listen, to understand and graciously and respectfully disagree with each other rather than this road rage rage and this anger that seems to be surrounding us. Well, I can't agree with you more on that, Lynn. Wow. Okay, well, let's get right into it. So, Monty, I asked you earlier, taking the helm is all about crises that people have experienced in their work or in their personal lives.
[00:03:13]
And we've got a crisis that's facing our children. Absolutely. Jump right into it from your perspective, please. Well, the biggest thing that I see in society, Lynn, is being older. I can look back at the way that things were and the way that things operate and how I see things operate today.
[00:03:32]
And the biggest issue that I see is people are operating lives. It's like running your video tape at three times the speed that it can properly record at. And because of that, they can't input with themselves properly, never mind their children. They can't input with their children properly. And the problem is that psychologists say that children learn how to live their lives in the eight years prior to their 7th birthday.
[00:04:04]
So eight years because we have to include the gestation period. Okay? So if the parents are so busy running three times the speed that they can just to survive, where do they get the energy and the focus to raise their kids properly? And then we've got these lobby groups out there that are busy trying to fill in how would I say it? They're mind bending us in ways that are their supposed truth, but there's a lot of them and no value to them.
[00:04:41]
The only value to the people that are the lobbyists in these things are the people that they're trying to gain some power. And it's an artificial power rather than learning about true power, which is being inside yourself, knowing your own truth, and be able to stand there and say, look, this is not the way that I'm going to raise my children. I'm going to raise them this way. One of the defining factors in society is having rules, and we all need to abide by those rules. However, when a government, or especially one that's run by lobbyists, gets in the way there and forces rules into the system that are incorrect and do not support us to live in an ethical, growth-oriented way, and we sure can't help our children properly, then we need to break the law.
[00:05:39]
Absolutely. We need to force them to change the way that it's going. And I know that in both Canada and the United States, the laws that are being forced right now are absolutely abhorrent to the correct raising of children in the best way.
[00:05:20]
My mind is racing, as I'm sure our listeners and viewers are as well, because so many possibilities are coming to my head. So let's talk about one specific law. And I certainly wouldn't encourage people to break the laws that are in my head, but I don't think that's what you're referring to. What's one specific law that you're referring to that is harming our ability to raise our children?
It's the right to have honest communication with your children. There are things that are appropriate and there are things that are not appropriate. My daughter had a child at 16, and a child raising a child is really tough. So when her daughter was in grade six or seven, I guess it was, they had a tough relationship. My daughter was at home and her daughter came in and they got into a bit of a discourse and my granddaughter turned around and smacked her mother across the face. And my daughter just stepped back and went, what do I do? So she stopped and moved away. She went to see the principal at the school the next day because she wanted some information about how do I deal with this situation. Do you know what the principal's answer was? Suck it up.
[00:06:30]
Well, as a retired school administrator, I have to tell you that never would have happened if your daughter had come to me. My goodness, when someone comes to you and discloses something so personal, you don't slough that off. That person is desperate for help.
[00:07:00]
So my only recourse I had for having any input on the kids was with the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program. So I had to pay whatever amount it was every month. And the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program said, we want you to give us a check, and we want you to give us a bulk check for every year ahead of time. So we just process them. And I said, no, I'm not doing that. I'm going to give you one check a month, and I'm only going to give that to you if the stipulations in our divorce agreement how to raise the children are met. And she was not happy about it, neither was my wife. And I said, that is the way that's going to be. I am going to pay. I'm not a dad beat dad.
I will pay every month providing the rules are met. And so my daughter got a little on the wild side and she started not showing up for school and mother wasn't doing anything about it. So I phoned the FMEP, I said, daughter is not in school. No cheque this month. The rules say she has to go to school. And at the end of it, this was several years later, my son was around 14 provincial children's organizers, I don't know what you call them, the government agency that looks after kids. They had come in and taken my son out of the family because they lived far away from where I lived, and he had gone to live with it, with her brother. My wife was an alcoholic, and that lasted for about two years, and it was just horrific for my son. And finally one day they phoned me up and they said, monty, will you please make room for your son and your life? And I said, I bought a two bedroom condo. His bedroom is waiting for him.
[00:08:46]
Again. I'm kind of all over the place because I'm going to put on my other hat. Not giving a check that month. Did that stop her from being able to pay the rent, to put food on the table? I'm thinking all of those things, and I'm sure when you make those decisions no, I think your point is there are laws, there are societal norms that are not necessarily black and white, and sometimes we have to find our ways around them for what we believe is the best for our children and our families. Absolutely. Is that what you are trying to say in a more direct way.
The big model that I'm working on right now is that parenting is a full time, 168 hours week job for the rest of your life. You don't stop teaching your children once they're adult. I thoroughly believe that we have to stay in their lives and because as they grow older, they start to want to understand who they are as human beings. And the way that you do that is by being there and being able to explain who they are and why things are the way they are. I just came back from Calgary last night.
[00:10:15]
I was with my new sister. My new sister is five years older than me, and I met her three years ago, and it's been absolutely fabulous. There is just no qualming about the fact that she's related. She is identical to my cousin over in Mission. There's just no argument at all. And she and I are so much like she's also an author. And so one of the things that we're pushing right now is for our family members, we're reaching out to them and saying, hey, you need to understand the dynamics, particularly the genetic history of our families, so that you can understand why you are making the choices that you are. It's one of the factors that's in there. So you've got this genetic history and you've also got the day-to-day choice history. And the day-to-day choice history is the part I'm most adamant about because we need to be able to recognize that we have far more ability in this world.
[00:11:05]
That's why I wrote The Ascenders Return to Grace, because we have more ability in this world than we're led to believe. And I want people to step back and say, is that belief that I have really valued? Is it a right belief? And it's your prerogative to step back and say, no, that is not correct, and then to take steps to fix it. Okay, I got a couple of questions to jump in here. You're new sister. Are you going to go further with Ancestries.com just to check about the DNA connection? That's how we found her. Oh, that's how you found her. Okay, miss that part 95.4%.
[00:11:48]
Oh, that's fantastic. But you're so right. When we go back and you go back to your childhood and like you said, all of your morals and all of that, that is instilled in us in the first eight years of life, however you wanted to find that to be those experiences are a very large part of who we end up being and what we believe in and what we portray. So you mentioned Ascenders Returning to Grace, and that's your book that I read back in March and the title of my review is, it's time to shift the negative energies around us to those of love rather than Fear. And I have to tell you, as I was reading the book, it was so unpredictable because you take us to these realms of I couldn't even imagine where you took the characters to and what they were able to do by tapping into, I want to call it unconsciousness, a higher level and all of those kinds of things that you wouldn't even possibly imagine.
And what I loved about the book is whether or not readers agree or disagree or say, oh, this is a load of crap, this could never happen. It still makes you reconsider where you are in your life right now and what your beliefs are. Is that not what your bottom line was, what your purpose was? Absolutely. There you go.
[00:12:55]
Talk a little bit more about your book. Well, I actually channeled the book. That was really cool. I was working with a friend of mine who has a coaching program called The Intuitive Life, and as I was talking with her, all of a sudden I got this female voice, intuitive anyway, this female voice in my head just starts ragging on me. So after I got finished, we're working with her a few minutes later.
A male voice would be ragging on you too, though, right? Absolutely. We're not being biased about this, but it was a female voice. And so I closed my eyes and I said, what do you want? And she said, get on your computer. You're going to write a book. It's called the Ascenders Return to Grace. And I said, okay. And fortunately, in my work, I travel to Vancouver Island frequently, so that's what I would do on the island. I get so excited about getting on the boat because I can get my computer open.
How is it going to come out today? I had no idea how the story was going to evolve, and so it was really cool as each of the pieces came out. But this is what I've written about. I've got, what, seven books or something like that out now. And the whole basis of the centers is just exactly what you said in there. It's about recognizing how the way that we have been raised in this world and how we interact in our present time we have created, and we maintain position of severe limitation. And my goal through these books is that people don't do anything except step back and say, hey, am I living the best life that I can? It's not about going out and getting wealthy and whatever like that. We came to this lifetime to grow and to learn to be part of the universal source. That's how it grows.
[00:14:48]
And by stepping back and saying, is it really important to me that when my friend tells me the color is red and I say, It's fushia, is it really important that I have to hold my ego in place in order to win with that? It's not important.
Yeah, there's so much. If I could share a quick little story. My kids are I have one in Nova Scotia, I have one in Niagara, and one who's just moved back home. And we had a family celebration. My oldest son got married. Long story short, we were all together in Ontario for a reception last weekend. And I have really been trying Monty for the last year to be in tune and more present. And after the reception, my house was a disaster area. But my husband, myself and my three children were sitting in the backyard having a conversation. I stood up to go and do dishes and I caught myself because we're getting into conscious parenting, even though my kids are adults, I thought, when is the next time the five of us and my daughter-in-law who joined us, are going to be able to be together, to just enjoy each other's company and share stories and memories? It was the most beautiful time, and I almost got up and left.
[00:17:51]
Being aware, being aware of what is important around us. The dishes could wait. my house could wait. It didn't matter. One thing about dishes is they never go away.
[00:16:28]
It's time to take a short break.
When a child you know is feeling worried or scared, do they have the tools they need to make positive decisions? The power of thought. Children's book series is what you've been looking for. The children on the planet Tesla cannot hide their emotions because they haven't learned how to control them yet. I Have Choices, the first book in the series begins with a conflict that every child can relate to and teaches an evidencebased strategy that adults can model for everyday use.
Children will learn in a fun way how to problem solve and find positive solutions to everyday situations. The Power of Thought Children's Book Series has been developed alongside clinicians, educators, and parents to use as a proactive resource in teaching children emotional literacy. We're Tasmanians who hover and live on a planet made of crystals. Join us and have some fun. You can become an alien too.
Read this imaginary fun and practical book to your child, your grandchild, or to your students so they can start practicing the strategy of I Have Choices right away. Check it out@lynmclachlan.com under the books tab. Now let's get back to our guest.
[00:17:20]
Okay, so let's talk about conscious parenting, which obviously has a direct connection to my podcast, Taking the Helm which is about making conscious choices. So you know that I'm writing a children's book series with my niece who is a social worker, and our whole premise is moving to a proactive place where we can give children the tools they need, that are evidence based, that are grounded in research that they can use every single day when facing problems in their lives.
If you could say and you have so many different things in terms of conscious parenting, whatever you'd want to say, what are some guiding words that we can give to people who are maybe about to become parents or going, I'm not doing a great job of this. What do I need to change? What would you say, Monty?
The number one thing I would say right off the bat is you need to stop. We don't stop in this world. We get out of bed and we go until we drop back into bed at night time. Again, we need to stop. We need to take the time to actually sit on a chair on the couch or whatever like that and have some quiet time. And a big part of that quiet time, most of us don't breathe properly. And you learn this in yoga.
When you take a deep breath, always move your belly because it allows your full lungs to be able to function. If you only breathe with your lungs, there's three sections to the belly, to the lungs, and the toxins sit in the bottom of the lungs. If you're not moving your abdominal muscles when you breathe, you're not clearing those toxins out of your belly, having a hard time with that one out of the bottom of your lungs. And so when you take the next breath, it's going right back through those toxins again. So how could you possibly relax if you're breathing toxic fumes right from your own body?
And the next thing is we don't drink enough water. We are 80 whatever it is, percent water. We need to keep our water supply up. If we drink I'm a coffee drinker. If I drink coffee, I always try to make sure that I extra supplement my body because coffee is a diuretic. And then we need to focus on, okay, this is my day. So now we've got children. You cannot say, well, I'm not going to participate with my children today. They don't exist. That doesn't happen.
[00:19:43]
Even if you're going to work, you're still a parent. That's all there is to it. And even if you're not in front of your children, what choices you make still impact your children. Right. Are you saying that by … and I never did this as an early parent, taking care of ourselves? We always put everybody else first, right? Absolutely. We have to ground ourselves. We have to be relaxed. We have to be because then we can be conscious and say, this is important to me.
That's not important to me. Yes, I'm going to actually have a conversation with my family around the dinner table rather than just serving, serving, serving, getting up and going. Yeah, right. It's the moments and being present that is so important. Yeah.
[00:22:14]
And sitting down with your spouse when you are raising children. And I'm going to get into a whole lot of trouble for this because it's not socially acceptable these days, but I'm going to say it anyway. God created men and women. That is the only way you produce children. And whether you want to raise them in a homosexual relationship or whatever, it is secondary.
The bottom line is that we all carry male and female components of ourselves and we need to honor both the male and the female side in every individual. Children need to learn from both genders in order to be completely fulfilled children and become that way as adults. When we are determining, we want our children to be the absolute best humans that they can be. That's initially amongst us. But we need to step back before we start making decisions about our children and ask, are we projecting onto our children?
[00:23:18]
That something that we want, it may not be theirs. Are we looking at what are the attributes of that child? Do they show any special skills that we can build on? But are there deficiencies in the way that that child is acting that we need to address? And are those deficiencies that child is expressing, are they a reflection of what we're communicating to our child.
[00:23:43]
Well the questions you just asked I am totally in line with because I’ve caught myself, many of us have caught ourselves projecting what we want on our children gathering than letting them discover what’s right for them. And that means letting them take falls and tumbles. And what you say about the difference between the male and the female influence, absolutely. I agree with that, too. There's a lot of research to support it. But I want to go back to what you said about the parenting piece and in the introduction as well.
[00:22:30]
You know as we all know that what a family looks like today is very different than the past and certainly not what we would call traditional in many ways. Same sex marriages and partners, single-parent families shared parenting. I don’t think someone has to be living in my home to have a positive influence on my children. It could be a brother or sister, a lesbian or queer friend. It could be anyone whose going to help my children see things through different lenses. And the way your wrote your book Monty, it really did open up endless possibilities. I don’t want to give away any spoilers but you did a lot with the male, female characters crossing genders etc etc. So I guess I want to ask if we can think about role models in a more global way.
I'm sorry. I didn't include that in there, because that's exactly right. If a woman is raising her child as a single parent, what I'm saying is, having a good male friend, you don't have to be intimately involved with this person, but somebody who will commit for the long term to be there as a role model for that boy or the girl, because girls need it, too. We have organizations like Big Brothers and Big Sisters absolutely like that as well. Yes, absolutely.
And that's that one more piece of that. Get your bloody kids off those computers. Especially young kids. When kids are under seven years old, they need to have direct input with other people.
[00:23:40]
So let’s give that a context Monty. Let’s say we’re in a restaurant with our family, whatever that looks like and we see it every day. Children on devices and parents on cell phones. Ask yourself a question. When you’re out with your family is that a time that provides an opportunity for us as parents maybe to ask questions, to celebrate to give them positive reinforcement we know that every child craves. If we could catch ourselves in those moments before we take out our phones before we hand them a device and ask ourselves what’s the most important thing to me right now and make a conscious choice, my guess is that most of us, except in the case of emergencies of course, we’re going to decide it’s the children sitting in front of us.
You cannot be in your power in the future. You can't be in your power in the past. And when you're in your power in the present, if you're sitting in a restaurant, if you're sitting on your cell phone, your present time is a distraction. There's another level. That's why I wrote healthy kids only need Three things.
[00:24:47]
There's another level that goes with it. That's really cool. I'm a member of the Rosicrucian Order. It's a mystical organization. I've been a member for 40 years. So we work with the non physical universe. Really simple thing to do when you're dealing with kids. You want to input positive energy into your child. Wait until they go to bed and they're asleep and go in very quietly with all the love and intention that you possibly can muster. Sit down with them and say to them positive statements, I love you. I'm glad that you're here. I'm glad that you chose to be with me. I wish you the very best. I will give you the very best and then walk away.
Well, I need to know they're in a different level of consciousness. They still hear you. They still feel that. I love that. I want to jump in about Aquarius rising. The effects of living at this time as we move into the Age of Aquarius.
Help me understand that Monty. You know what? It's all the fault of the fifth dimension. Do you remember the band back in the 1960s? Okay. They brought out a song, the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius. Oh, yes. Okay.
In between, in any kind of an age, whether it's in the monthly astrology or whatever, there are what are called a cusp, and it's the crossover energy between the two time slots. So I'm not a Bible person, but I know just enough to be dangerous. So in the Old Testament, I think it was Solomon or Abraham or something, they talk about him killing the Ram, what they were referring to. That when you're dealing with ages, the astrology signs go backwards to the way that they do when you're doing your annual. So it doesn't go Capricorn, Aquarius, PISCES. And so that goes the other way. So the killing of the Ram signified the end of the Age of Aries. And Aries was about government and total structure. What happened in Egypt was a prime example of what Aries was about.
[00:27:04]
So now we move into the Age of PISCES. That's when Jesus was born. When Jesus was born, it was about exploring the world. The representative of PISCES is the hands. So we took our hands and we learned about the world. And through our hands, we also learned about philosophy, and we learned about religion and we developed these religions and so on. So what's happened is we're now in 2022. So an age is 2000 years long, give or take a couple of years. So back in about probably the late 1950s, we started to move into the cusp between PISCES and Aquarius. Aquarius is about the big picture. It's about attaining Christ consciousness. It's about seeing the world is much larger than the way that we see it. Now. A cusp is about 350 years long, so we have a long way to go through this process. So the reason why I wrote the ascendant the reason why I wrote the other books that I write, it's about understanding what moving into Aquarius is about.
[00:28:210]
So the reason why I wrote the ascendant the reason why I wrote the other books that I write, it's about understanding what moving into Aquarius is about.Yeah, okay. We got 350 years to go before we're in Aquarius, but we need to be in a position to accept being there to do it. Because if we don't move forward, you think that the hell in the Bible, that it is bad, wait till you see what's there. Because the reason why it's going to be helped is because if you show up in a paint shop with your salad plate, you're not going to fit. That's basically what it's about.
Moving into Aquarius is about becoming more conscious. Okay. There's nothing to do with religion in that at all. It's basically what we've been talking about already. We need to step back and say, is this the right way for me to be doing this?
Does the belief that I have support me in making my life the best place that I can possibly be living in Vancouver? I tell you, it drives me nuts. You watch people going down the road and they're zipping in and practically killing people just to get a block ahead. People walk out in front of cars and pedestrians demanding that they stop. Those are belief systems that are not supportive.
[00:29:40]
We need to stop. They're certainly not building love and acceptance and understanding. Yeah. You have two choices, love and fear. Which one do you want to live in?
Now the next step is to ask yourself, what does that mean? We all live in fear because we learned it. But now we have the opportunity. Our society we have today is the first time in the existence of mankind on this plane that we have the support in the system to allow us to not just have to survive, we can thrive. We have the ability to step back and say, you know what? I need to reframe how this is going because it's not going I can feel it inside myself that it's not going right. And so being able to get back to that and say, okay, if it's not feeling right, it's nice if you know the why, but it's about being able to take the steps, breathing properly, drinking water, taking a minute to sit down.
Yeah, And realizing that we're bigger than our physical selves. Right. Absolutely. and if we can open up our minds to the possibility of that higher level of consciousness, of the source, as you refer, to whatever you want to call that the higher power, that higher being, that intuitiveness, that enlightenment, whatever. Then there's other possibilities, and I think we just get caught up in this rat race, and there are many reasons for that. The last couple of years with Kova didn't force us to take some time to realize, and it sure did for me, what is important and what is not. And those things that you used to think were like, they're just inconsequential. And I learned this lesson with my brain tumor nine years ago. But, you know, it does start to come back into your life where you forget about things and you have to stop. Like you said, Monty, you have to stop and say what is important to me, and then this is the hard part, the stuff that's not or the people that are not important to you or bringing in that negativity, you’ve got to find a way to push that away. And it’s not that easy. If you’ve got a job you rely on for financial reasons, is there a way you can ground yourself every day? I'll tell you, I can't meditate by sitting here and doing the grounding thing, but I can meditate when I'm walking in nature.
Absolutely. Yes. You and I are twins that way. I'll tell you, one of the things that I've also done through my writing of books and stuff is on my website. I have some recorded visualizations on there.
[00:32:02]
And one of the techniques that is really good for dealing with issues that are really hard to deal with and I have to be really upfront about this. I totally support, and I tell people directly, if you're going to do growth work, get support, get yourself a good counselor, one that works for you, the one that is there for you to help you move through the stuff. What I do is I provide really good tools to help you to move through it faster. So in this one visualization, basically what you do is if you've got something that's really nagging at you, what causes that? It has two components.
One is the thought, the other is the emotion. As long as the two of those are melded together, you're not going to do anything, because that emotion is going to continually feed it all the time. And that comes from the ego. What you have to do is go through it, and you have to turn off the emotion. When the emotion is turned off, it's just a thought.
Then you can replace the thought with what you want.
Oh, that's funny.
[00:33:15]
It's terrible. No offense to people who are called Henrietta. I don't think a lot of them anymore. But when I start to have that, I say, that's Henrietta talking. That's not rational. That doesn't make any sense. And I push Henry out aside. See you later. And there are many facets of counseling that will help people get there. And sometimes it takes a long time to do that, but once you can recognize that that's not right and slap it aside, it just becomes so much easier, doesn't it?
Yeah, but it's amazing how so many people these days, a lot of times their belief systems are just cop outs. You need to step back and say, why did this happen, and what did I do to help cause it? And sometimes, you know what?
[00:34:00]
Excuse me expressing, but shit happens. I tell a story about my husband and I. It doesn't even matter the circumstances, but we were driving. We were near Boston. We're Canadian. We're coming home. We're towing an empty trailer. I felt like the trailer was planning behind us, and I was getting very nervous. My husband is a retired OPP officer. He's driven in all kinds of weather. But I kept saying, Hon, would you please drive? Would you please slow down? And he wasn't slowing down. And finally I thought stop. Because all I was doing was raising the tension in the truck. I took out a Sudoku puzzle. I looked down, I trusted him, and we got through it just fine. But I was feeding the anxiety because of my fear in that situation. Once we can be aware of that and then change our own behaviors, man, is it powerful? Absolutely.
We are all powerful, no matter what. And when we have this incessant need to control all the time, we undermine everybody's ability to have any power in this situation. Had you continued doing that, nobody would have had power over the situation because your husband would have just had his emotional levels going through the roof, and his ego would have kicked in and said, screw you. I'm going to do this the way I want to do it, and the. Vacation would have been ruined.
Or worse yet, we would have had an accident. Absolutely. Yeah. So you did the right thing by just stopping and taking a breath and got into the snowcu. Yeah.
[00:35:20]
All right, Monty. Wow. We've talked about so many things. I'm going to ask you how people can reach you, what you have to offer, and then closing comments to wrap it up.
Okay.I have two websites that are related to this. One is Ascendersbooks.com is the official book or the official website for the Ascenders Return to Grace series, and it's strictly about the books link to it is my main website, which is called Power for You, Power for Me, and it's a resource website. At this point, I'm not doing any workshops or anything like that. I do intend to do that in the future. But what I do provide on there is information about my books that are available on Amazon and various other places like this, and videos with visualizations and so on that people can go on for free. And learn these visualizations. So they've got tools teaching them how like we were talking about how to shut that emotion off to get that thing that thought down to a tolerable level. And I do different videos. I'm building a resource panel in there or resource page in there for other organizations that I support in that process.

I do a lot of work with. a friend of mine does body code and it's just an amazing program for doing healing work. I even didn't even have to go get an access done on my right upper tooth here, which would have cost me $2,800 by doing one section of body code that cost me $85. Because everything in your body has emotions tied to it. Because the Chinese talk about the meridians and so on like that. And there was in an hour that the abscess was gone and I've never had it again.
Through this website, I'm putting out the resources for other people that can support people in their journey and also understanding why the website is called Powerful You. Powerful me. In order to truly empower yourself, you need to empower other people without selling yourself short. And that's the key to it. You cannot empower people by overpowering them and you can't help people by reducing your own power.
And so it's going to expand from there. The websites are up now, so we're working on these. And as I can, I'm going to start doing some workshops on teaching people how to understand, first of all, how you can change your belief systems. And believe me, in my life I have had and do have to work through on a daily basis trying to deal with the issues that pop up. And I come from a very dysfunctional childhood. My father was a person who provided a lot of fodder for growing and I'm very fortunate that I have chosen to move in that direction to learn rather than to let what he provided embedded to myself as a human. And as the layers come up, I try to deal with them. I want other people to have the same tools that I have to be able to do that. So powerful you Powerful me got born.

Awesome. Beautiful closing comments too. And you know what? As I said at the very beginning, you said some things that may have stirred the pot and that's okay. If you are listening and viewing and you're a little upset or taken aback or think, I hope you're taking this to the point where you say, I want to read a little bit more about that. I want to understand about that. And yes, I might emphatically still disagree with you, Monty, but at least I've listened to better understand. If we could all do that, we're going to be in a much better place moving into the Age of Aquarius.
Absolutely. And that's why I wrote the Sanders Return to Grace in a way that they're written is because they're fun. It's a fun story. It's fantastical. It's magical realism and all that. But it's got truth in it for you to step and stop and say, hey, maybe I can do this or maybe it's crap. I don't care. Read the book and at least think about it.

Let me just read a part of the review at the very end that I wrote on Amazon. We each have an impact on everyone we touch. Imagine what it would be like if we fully embrace our higher levels.
