StevePavlina.com Personal Development for Smart People podcast #23: Life, the Universe, and Everything This podcast really is about life, the universe, and everything… and this time, the answer isn’t 42.

It’s the first podcast I’ve recorded completely off the cuff — no pre-planned topic and no handwritten notes. When I sat down and pressed record, I had no idea what I was going to say. Consequently, my pace is much slower than in previous podcasts because my mind wasn’t racing with ideas. I imagine some of my listeners whose primary language is not English may find this slower pace easier to understand. I must have been in a rather philosophical mood since this became a high-level exploration of what it means to live as a conscious human being. I’m very pleased with how it came out. This material builds on concepts from the book Personal Development for Smart People, so if you’ve already read it, this podcast will give you another perspective on applying Truth, Love, and Power to your life. For example, did you know that all the problems you attract into your life arise from your lack of alignment with Truth, Love, and/or Power? In the podcast I explain how and why this happens and how it actually benefits you. If you haven’t read the book yet (what are you waiting for?!?!?), then this will introduce you to the first three principles of conscious growth. You’ll begin to see how these forces are directing your life in ways you didn’t realize. The point of this podcast is to help you gain clarity. When you view your life through the lens of Truth, Love, and Power, everything makes a lot more sense. You’ll understand why some parts of your life are working well and why other parts are a struggle. I recorded this podcast with a different equipment setup than I normally use, so this was a technical experiment as well. Most of my podcasts are recorded with a condenser mic routed through a mixer and then to my PC. This works well, but it results in a small amount of background noise due to the PC fan (barely noticeable for most people). For podcasts #21 and #22, I used my Edirol R-09 portable recorder with its built-in mic because Erin and I were recording together. This time I turned off the PC, and I used my condenser mic, running the signal through the mixer and straight into the R-09, which is a totally quiet setup. The R-09 records at better than CD quality, so it’s a high quality recorder. There was still some minor background noise while the laundry machine was running nearby, but that can be avoided in the future (I didn’t want to wait this time). Overall I’m very happy with the quality of this recording setup.

StevePavlina.com Personal Development for Smart People podcast #22: Loving Relationships This is a podcast about loving, intimate relationships that Erin and I recorded together this afternoon. We discuss the inner workings of our (almost 15-year) relationship in depth and share insights, advice, and stories regarding the following topics: Meeting each other’s needs and desires (emotional, physical, spiritual, etc) Creating and maintaining a deep connection Common interests Areas of compatibility and incompatibility Monogamous relationships What is cheating? The ultimate goal of an intimate relationship Polyamory The 6 styles of open relationships Jealousy Compersion Coming out publicly as a polyamorous person/couple The big picture – why intimate relationships are so important for personal growth Raising the consciousness of your relationship The 3 qualities of strong, loving, intimate relationships Commitment – what it means to commit How to know whether you should break up or stay together Our ultimate goal in creating this podcast is to help you enjoy more conscious, loving relationships in your own life. Of course the “elephant in the room” that spawned this podcast is that Erin and I recently announced that we’re shifting from a monogamous to a polyamorous relationship style. In this podcast we talk a lot about that decision, which wasn’t so much of a decision as it was a realization — and a major breakthrough in the way we’ve been relating to each other. We hope our love and caring for each other comes across in this recording. We appreciate the care and concern everyone is expressing toward us. We understand that this announcement was probably a shock to most people. That was to be expected. We’ve been discussing this for quite some time, but you weren’t privy to those conversations, so it may seem like this is a snap decision that happened abruptly and that our relationship is in trouble. The truth, however, is that because of this change, our relationship is actually stronger than ever. In recording this podcast, we want to help you understand where we’re coming from and why we’re excited to explore polyamory. We think this will help prevent misunderstandings based on inaccurate assumptions. We also think it will be very eye-opening for you if you’re interested in learning more about polyamory or if you’re currently experiencing problems in your current monogamous relationship. If you’re in a relationship right now, we encourage you to listen to this together with your partner, and feel free to pause and discuss the ideas that strike you as you go along. We expect this form of sharing could lead to some new breakthroughs in the way you relate to each other. Just be aware that we may challenge your pre-established notions about how your relationship is supposed to work and where it may be headed. Erin and I explain in detail how we relate to each other and the mindset we use to maintain a very conscious, loving, intimate relationship. We also discuss problems we encountered as a couple and how we overcame them together. When I began writing about polyamory a few days ago, there were lots of misunderstandings and misinterpretations of our motives. Many people assumed the worst. Part of the reason for those misunderstandings is that plain text is a weak medium for expressing such an emotional topic because you can’t hear our tone of voice. The words themselves don’t convey enough of the meaning we were trying to convey. We think this is one reason why our words are being interpreted in so many different ways… often not in the way they were intended. By using audio instead of text, we hope that misinterpretations will be greatly reduced. Hopefully when you hear us communicating about this together, you’ll get a better sense of how Erin and I relate to each other and why we believe polyamory (i.e. an open relationship) is an awesome next step in our journey together. A couple books are mentioned in this podcast: Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships by Tristan Taormino and The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. I highly recommend both of them. This is our longest podcast ever (103 minutes long). It’s more like an audio program on relationships than a podcast.

StevePavlina.com Personal Development for Smart People podcast #22: Loving Relationships This is a podcast about loving, intimate relationships that Erin and I recorded together this afternoon. We discuss the inner workings of our (almost 15-year) relationship in depth and share insights, advice, and stories regarding the following topics: Meeting each other’s needs and desires (emotional, physical, spiritual, etc) Creating and maintaining a deep connection Common interests Areas of compatibility and incompatibility Monogamous relationships What is cheating? The ultimate goal of an intimate relationship Polyamory The 6 styles of open relationships Jealousy Compersion Coming out publicly as a polyamorous person/couple The big picture – why intimate relationships are so important for personal growth Raising the consciousness of your relationship The 3 qualities of strong, loving, intimate relationships Commitment – what it means to commit How to know whether you should break up or stay together Our ultimate goal in creating this podcast is to help you enjoy more conscious, loving relationships in your own life. Of course the “elephant in the room” that spawned this podcast is that Erin and I recently announced that we’re shifting from a monogamous to a polyamorous relationship style. In this podcast we talk a lot about that decision, which wasn’t so much of a decision as it was a realization — and a major breakthrough in the way we’ve been relating to each other. We hope our love and caring for each other comes across in this recording. We appreciate the care and concern everyone is expressing toward us. We understand that this announcement was probably a shock to most people. That was to be expected. We’ve been discussing this for quite some time, but you weren’t privy to those conversations, so it may seem like this is a snap decision that happened abruptly and that our relationship is in trouble. The truth, however, is that because of this change, our relationship is actually stronger than ever. In recording this podcast, we want to help you understand where we’re coming from and why we’re excited to explore polyamory. We think this will help prevent misunderstandings based on inaccurate assumptions. We also think it will be very eye-opening for you if you’re interested in learning more about polyamory or if you’re currently experiencing problems in your current monogamous relationship. If you’re in a relationship right now, we encourage you to listen to this together with your partner, and feel free to pause and discuss the ideas that strike you as you go along. We expect this form of sharing could lead to some new breakthroughs in the way you relate to each other. Just be aware that we may challenge your pre-established notions about how your relationship is supposed to work and where it may be headed. Erin and I explain in detail how we relate to each other and the mindset we use to maintain a very conscious, loving, intimate relationship. We also discuss problems we encountered as a couple and how we overcame them together. When I began writing about polyamory a few days ago, there were lots of misunderstandings and misinterpretations of our motives. Many people assumed the worst. Part of the reason for those misunderstandings is that plain text is a weak medium for expressing such an emotional topic because you can’t hear our tone of voice. The words themselves don’t convey enough of the meaning we were trying to convey. We think this is one reason why our words are being interpreted in so many different ways… often not in the way they were intended. By using audio instead of text, we hope that misinterpretations will be greatly reduced. Hopefully when you hear us communicating about this together, you’ll get a better sense of how Erin and I relate to each other and why we believe polyamory (i.e. an open relationship) is an awesome next step in our journey together. A couple books are mentioned in this podcast: Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships by Tristan Taormino and The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. I highly recommend both of them. This is our longest podcast ever (103 minutes long). It’s more like an audio program on relationships than a podcast.

Downloadable Interviews If you’d like to hear some of the interviews I’ve already done, here are links to several that are available online: We Like It Raw interview with Dhrumil Purohit (75-minute podcast) WEEU interview with Nick Lawrence, Philadelphia radio station (44:41 mp3) Tools to Life interview with Devlyn Steele (25:28 podcast) The Displaced African interview with Mwangi Njanja (60-minute podcast) Warm 106.9 FM interview with Tom McCarthy, Seattle radio station (10 minutes, only available online for 2 weeks) Upcoming Live Interviews And here are some upcoming live interviews if you wish to tune in. The first one is on Wednesday morning. Raw Vegan Radio interview with Steve Prussack (Live on Oct 22, 2008 at 7am Pacific Time, 60 minutes). Topics include 30-day trials, being a vegan, and my new book. Empowered Living Radio interview with Steve Maraboli (Live on Nov 14, 2008 at 10am Pacific time, 60 minutes). Walking with Spirit with Monique Chapman interview on Achieve Radio Network (Live on Dec 9, 2008 at 5pm Pacific time, 60 minutes). Thanks to the book, I’m getting more interview requests than ever before, and I’ve been enjoying them immensely. Lately I’ve been doing as many as three phone interviews per day. I did two of them earlier today. I’m certainly getting a lot of practice in a short period of time. I definitely prefer the radio/podcast interviews to doing text interviews. Audio interviews are more fun and interactive, and they take a lot less time as well. I don’t care if the interviews are live or pre-recorded since I enjoy being spontaneous either way. Radio Pros vs. Podcasters I’ve noticed a difference in the interviewing styles of most podcasters vs. professional radio show hosts. The radio hosts are usually extremely polished, especially with respect to how they handle introductions and transitions, probably because they’ve had so much practice at honing their on-air skills. The podcasters on the other hand tend to be more tentative and not as smooth with their questions and transitions, but they often ask very thoughtful questions, and they can go much deeper into certain topics because they aren’t limited by airtime. Personally I enjoy both types of interviews, but I think I prefer the podcast interviews overall because there are no forced commercial breaks or hard cut-off points. Being an Author Opens Doors When it comes to interview requests, being an author seems to open more doors than running a popular blog. Before my book was out, I used to get maybe 1-2 interview requests per month. Now I’m getting at least a few requests per week. At this point, I can’t tell if this is a temporary surge due to the book’s recent release or if it’s likely to be a semi-permanent change. Time will tell. Doing these interviews has made me very grateful that I didn’t pick such a narrow niche for my blog or my book. I think I’d be pulling my hair out if I had to do dozens of interviews on the same topic like blogging or polyphasic sleep — over and over again. One day I did a morning interview on blogging, an afternoon interview on Internet business, and an evening interview on personal growth topics. I really enjoy that kind of variety — it’s a nice benefit of having many different interests.

We’re both very candid and share many stories about our personal experiences. I also toss in a few of my own theories about how various psychic phenomena work. If you’re curious about any of the the topics above, I think you’ll learn a lot from this exploration of psychic development, regardless of how skeptical you may be. This podcast was recorded on different equipment that I normally use. I just bought an Edirol R-09 portable recording device, which makes it easy to record podcasts away from my PC, so I was eager to test it out. The recording quality isn’t ideal because we casually recorded this in our living room with the R-09’s built-in mic instead of using my higher quality condenser mic, but you shouldn’t have any trouble hearing us clearly. Erin and I enjoyed recording this together, so we may do more two-person recordings down the road if this one is well-received.

What is it like on the other side? Distinguishing genuine psychic impressions from emotions and imagination Why charge money for readings? Why not do them for free? How to price your readings when you read professionally What happens during a psychic reading? How does it work? Why do different people get such different readings? Chakras Do psychics predict the future? Difference between a psychic and a medium How to develop your own psychic/intuitive skills How personal development continues after you die Aside from jotting down a short list of topics to address, this was totally unscripted. We’re both very candid and share many stories about our personal experiences. I also toss in a few of my own theories about how various psychic phenomena work. If you’re curious about any of the the topics above, I think you’ll learn a lot from this exploration of psychic development, regardless of how skeptical you may be. This podcast was recorded on different equipment that I normally use. I just bought an Edirol R-09 portable recording device, which makes it easy to record podcasts away from my PC, so I was eager to test it out. The recording quality isn’t ideal because we casually recorded this in our living room with the R-09’s built-in mic instead of using my higher quality condenser mic, but you shouldn’t have any trouble hearing us clearly. Erin and I enjoyed recording this together, so we may do more two-person recordings down the road if this one is well-received.

The second half covers the topic of polarity and the fundamental question that determines our choice of polarity:  Are we fundamentally, unconditionally safe here? There’s an interesting story behind this podcast.  I originally recorded it on August 13, 2006, so this would have been podcast #16 if I’d posted it back then.  Somehow every time I sat down to edit and post it, I’d get interrupted by something that would pull me away from the computer.  The pattern became so ridiculous that even a couple weeks later, I still hadn’t been able to edit it yet.  I began wondering if I wasn’t supposed to post it for some reason.  With some frustration I put it on the back burner and went on to record and post other podcasts instead, experiencing no trouble with those.  The podcast that became #16 was The True Nature of Reality, one of the most popular podcasts I’ve recorded (and also one of the longest). Now more recently I’ve been meaning to do a podcast on polarity to help clarify and unify some of the concepts from recent articles on this topic.  Once again I experienced this strange pattern of delay.  Every time I tried to sit down and create the podcast, something unexpected would interrupt me and take me away from my desk.  For example, our network would mysteriously cut out, and Erin would be yelling that her Internet connection went down. Eventually I remembered this old podcast I recorded but never finished editing.  I wondered if I should edit and post it now and thought, “Nah.  My views on this topic have been refined a lot since then, and I’m sure I can do a better job on this today.  Plus it will only take about 30 minutes to do a fresh recording.”  But each time I rejected the idea and went to work on the new podcast, I’d get mysteriously interrupted. Today I decided to just listen to the old podcast to see how “bad” it was.  Out of habit I fell into the pattern of editing it as I went along.  In seemingly no time, I had a finished recording ready to post.  By the time I got to the end, I thought it was halfway decent considering it was recorded before I wrote any of the polarity articles.  There’s a lot more I could say on the subject, but perhaps this simpler treatment was somehow meant to be posted now. I want to point out a couple differences in the terminology I use in this podcast vs. my recent polarity articles.  First, at one point in the podcast, I mention how polarizing on the light (love) side can raise your consciousness.  I’m not referring to your level of consciousness here but rather your general state of awareness.  So I’m not saying that polarizing is going to instantly move you up in levels, merely that it will help make you aware of different things because you’re seeing reality through a new lens. Secondly, this podcast is clearly lightworker-biased, so I definitely don’t give a balanced treatment to the dark side.  The whole first half is about how you can use your dark side experiences to benefit you on the light side, implying that being on the dark side is somehow a mistake.  Near the end of the podcast, I do mention that you’re free to make a conscious choice between the two polarities, but only after I’ve introduced it with labels like “evil” and “negative.”  This isn’t because I’m biased against darkworkers — it’s because I’m talking from the perspective of my own personal experience.  When I was dabbling with the dark side, my application of this energy was self-destructive.  You could have said I was suffering from darkworker syndrome.  But as I’ve stated more recently, it’s possible to act from a fear-based model of reality without self-destructing if your level of consciousness is high enough. What I like about this podcast is that it explains where the fear and love polarities ultimately come from — your personal answer to the fundamental question we all face.  How you answer this question is what determines your polarity.  Since most people cannot answer it with a firm yes or no, most people aren’t polarized.  But life gets pretty interesting once you start leaning harder to one side or the other.

Now more recently I’ve been meaning to do a podcast on polarity to help clarify and unify some of the concepts from recent articles on this topic.  Once again I experienced this strange pattern of delay.  Every time I tried to sit down and create the podcast, something unexpected would interrupt me and take me away from my desk.  For example, our network would mysteriously cut out, and Erin would be yelling that her Internet connection went down. Eventually I remembered this old podcast I recorded but never finished editing.  I wondered if I should edit and post it now and thought, “Nah.  My views on this topic have been refined a lot since then, and I’m sure I can do a better job on this today.  Plus it will only take about 30 minutes to do a fresh recording.”  But each time I rejected the idea and went to work on the new podcast, I’d get mysteriously interrupted. Today I decided to just listen to the old podcast to see how “bad” it was.  Out of habit I fell into the pattern of editing it as I went along.  In seemingly no time, I had a finished recording ready to post.  By the time I got to the end, I thought it was halfway decent considering it was recorded before I wrote any of the polarity articles.  There’s a lot more I could say on the subject, but perhaps this simpler treatment was somehow meant to be posted now. I want to point out a couple differences in the terminology I use in this podcast vs. my recent polarity articles.  First, at one point in the podcast, I mention how polarizing on the light (love) side can raise your consciousness.  I’m not referring to your level of consciousness here but rather your general state of awareness.  So I’m not saying that polarizing is going to instantly move you up in levels, merely that it will help make you aware of different things because you’re seeing reality through a new lens. Secondly, this podcast is clearly lightworker-biased, so I definitely don’t give a balanced treatment to the dark side.  The whole first half is about how you can use your dark side experiences to benefit you on the light side, implying that being on the dark side is somehow a mistake.  Near the end of the podcast, I do mention that you’re free to make a conscious choice between the two polarities, but only after I’ve introduced it with labels like “evil” and “negative.”  This isn’t because I’m biased against darkworkers — it’s because I’m talking from the perspective of my own personal experience.  When I was dabbling with the dark side, my application of this energy was self-destructive.  You could have said I was suffering from darkworker syndrome.  But as I’ve stated more recently, it’s possible to act from a fear-based model of reality without self-destructing if your level of consciousness is high enough. What I like about this podcast is that it explains where the fear and love polarities ultimately come from — your personal answer to the fundamental question we all face.  How you answer this question is what determines your polarity.  Since most people cannot answer it with a firm yes or no, most people aren’t polarized.  But life gets pretty interesting once you start leaning harder to one side or the other.

There’s a vast difference between knowing what to do vs. actually doing it, and this podcast aims to help you move from knowing to being, doing, and having.  Whether you embrace traditional goal setting practices or the Law of Attraction or both, you won’t get very far until you learn to shift your identity from point A (your current position) to point B (your goal persona).  This identity shift is the difference between struggling with procrastination, laziness, ineffective action, and deluded wishful thinking vs. enjoying the ongoing flow of positive results from inspired action. When your identity is out of sync with your goal, action is very difficult — it is doing.  When your identify comes into sync with your goal, action is inspired and effortless — it is being. In this podcast I’ll share a couple internal shifts I experienced as a result of participating in the ongoing Million Dollar Experiment and how those shifts are bringing greater financial abundance into my life.  I’m not a millionaire yet, but I did recently pass the $100,000 mark, and I’ll offer up a few insights I gained along the way.  It’s been my experience that even seemingly subtle shifts in thinking can yield dramatic, measurable results on the outside.

In the language of Intention-Manifestation or the Law of Attraction, these ideas address how to come into resonance with your goal or to become a vibrational match for it.  If you prefer less new agey terms, it’s about how to shift your identity from where you are now to the person you’ll eventually be once you achieve your goal.  As your identity shifts to your new goal persona, you’ll feel naturally drawn to take whatever actions are necessary.  But if your identity remains fixed at your starting point, you usually won’t feel much inclination to act, and your progress will be minimal or nonexistent.

This internal identity shift is a critical but often overlooked part of achieving goals and manifesting intentions.  If you frequently set goals or put out intentions and then watch them die on the vine, it’s probably because you aren’t embracing the identity shift required to get there.  You may know what needs to be done intellectually, but you haven’t reached the point of inspired action because you’re sticking to your comfort zone instead of walking away from it. There’s a vast difference between knowing what to do vs. actually doing it, and this podcast aims to help you move from knowing to being, doing, and having.  Whether you embrace traditional goal setting practices or the Law of Attraction or both, you won’t get very far until you learn to shift your identity from point A (your current position) to point B (your goal persona).  This identity shift is the difference between struggling with procrastination, laziness, ineffective action, and deluded wishful thinking vs. enjoying the ongoing flow of positive results from inspired action. When your identity is out of sync with your goal, action is very difficult — it is doing.  When your identity comes into sync with your goal, action is inspired and effortless — it is being. In this podcast I’ll share a couple internal shifts I experienced as a result of participating in the ongoing Million Dollar Experiment and how those shifts are bringing greater financial abundance into my life.  I’m not a millionaire yet, but I did recently pass the $100,000 mark, and I’ll offer up a few insights I gained along the way.  It’s been my experience that even seemingly subtle shifts in thinking can yield dramatic, measurable results on the outside.

StevePavlina.com Personal Development for Smart People podcast #15:  What Is Your Purpose? This was one of my favorite podcasts to record because it takes the high concept of purpose and brings it down to the level of practical application.  If you’ve completed the exercise on discovering your life purpose, then you already have a general purpose statement for your life.  This podcast explains how to take that general purpose and turn it into a more specific one, such that you can realistically reach the delightful position of being able to make a great living while doing work that deeply fulfills and inspires you. Here are some additional resources to help you along your path to purpose:  How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes Why Does Purpose Matter? Purpose = Freedom Living Congruently The Meaning of Life:  Discover Your Purpose The Meaning of Life:  From Purpose to Action The Meaning of Life:  Transitioning Becoming the Person You Were Meant to Be To Thine Own Self Be True Enjoy the podcast… Pavlina-015-What-Is-Your-Purpose.mp3 (Time = 30:10, Size = 13.8MB) Visit the audio section to play this podcast directly through your web browser and to view the entire podcast collection.

One of the things I love most about my marriage is that I get to participate in the unfolding of Erin’s life path as well as my own.  Since the beginning of the year, she’s made the most enormous quantum leaps forward I’ve seen in the 12+ years I’ve known her.  She is completely on fire with passion, and we’re savoring every delicious minute of this time in our lives.  Often when I see her now, she will jump up and say, “I am so excited.  I am so excited!” In this podcast Erin talks about how she initially chose to put security ahead of passion in her life, opting to go to graduate school and get a “real” job.  Eventually, however, she re-awakened to her spiritual purpose after ye...

In this podcast Erin mentions a blog post she wrote about her upcoming TV appearance on the Criss Angel Mindfreak show, where she actually went to a haunted house with a team of paranormal investigators to attempt to get in contact with spirits there.  She hasn’t been the same since she returned.  Enjoy the podcast… Pavlina-014-Embracing-Your-Passion.mp3 (Time = 12:17, Size = 5.6MB) Visit the audio section to play this podcast directly through your web browser and to view the entire podcast collection.

One of the reasons people don’t feel confident is that they harbor limiting beliefs that block them from tapping into this inner resource.  For example, do you believe that in order to feel confident, you must be well-prepared?  Believe it or not, that’s a limiting belief.  Even if you aren’t well prepared for a situation, you can still choose to feel confident.  Confidence is an internal state, and you don’t need an outside-in reason to justify triggering it.  While preparation is important, sometimes preparation and experience by themselves aren’t enough to create the feeling of confidence.  It’s entirely possible to be competent and well-prepared and still feel tremendous self-doubt.  This podcast w...
