First, a quick blurb on loving my home yoga practice. And second,A Course In Miracles was super juicy today and sparks a lot of thinking. “Seek not outside yourself”…Or stop trying to fill the God sized hole with shiny objects. I’m all in on that idea right now. With one of my main thoughts being: Just because we let go of wanting shiny objects It doesn’t mean we won’t get them. It just means we won’t care. But that can be a hard spot to get too.

Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 Can I tell you that my yoga practice is strong. The home yoga practice is strong and thriving. Um, uh, two full. I do two, at least two sessions a week or two, I guess two days, two of the days right now, I'm currently doing it on Friday and Sundays, an hour, an hour home practice. That's very good. Has got forward bands back then, side bends, twists. Um, what else it's supposed to have in there? I don't know. I have a buddy below who says the things that make a good yoga class forward, bends back bends, side bends, twists. And what else? At least that perhaps more, but it's good. Rigorous. The breathing is awesome and I'm feeling the benefits. I believe I will add in a third day, I can lift my arms above my head. Again, I can't even believe I'm admitting that during the peak of the COVID after walking for a year and not doing any yoga or pushups or, or anything like that, I was just walking and walking and walking and I found that it was indeed hard to take my shirt off.
Mischa Z: 01:33 I was like, this is insane at the end of the day. I'm that stiff because I think I was, I will. The other thing, not only was I doing less or zero yoga, um, or a lot of the other, you know, I was doing all this construction on my house and my free time not doing any of that. Um, what was I gonna say? Uh, I just, oh yeah. Sitting on the computer and doing all this to CCX Russell Brunson, coaching summit, podcasting, all this stuff w pulled me to the desk a lot more. So lots more typing, lots more staring at screens a lot more, perhaps hunched forward. Rolling my shoulders, needing to work on my posture, sitting sideways, sitting crooked, heck just sitting a lot more. I went from barely ever sitting to sitting a ton and no, none of the stretching and twisting and all that.
Mischa Z: 02:39 And so my body was like, "yo dude, get after it, get your routine together." So anyway, I feel, um, it's nice to feel flexible and have that illusory body strength that yoga can provide didn't mean to go that long about that, but it is true. Um, I was going to talk today. The rest of this episode is going to be, was going to be a pure A Course In Miracles episode. Been a while since I've done one of those. So I wrote some notes, the section of chapter 29 that I read today was so juicy. I was like, eh, I just took so many notes. I thought, you know what, I'm going to try an episode and see if I can expand on the sentences that I wrote down. So, ACIM from the text section, chapter 29 The Awakening, section seven, seek not outside yourself. Not outside yourself.
Mischa Z: 04:05 First thing I think about that as I'm all in on that right now, I'm like, yeah, go within find that God within that capital S self packets in my intro of my podcast, but, but filling that God size hole that's in me with the God within. Right. And, uh, so what I think is really interesting about that is somebody else might already have that section of their life sort of shored up and whole and complete and good. And so this part of the course in miracles night bite not jump out as the them as strongly might not jump out as you as strongly or resonate as much. So I just had that awareness. I was like, oh, wow, that's pretty cool. Like this section is just compelling me to write down all these sentences. Um, so paragraph six.one, "all idols of this world were made to keep the truth within from being known to you."
Mischa Z: 05:16 "All idols of this world were made to keep the truth within from being known to you and to maintain allegiances to the dream that you must find what is outside yourself to be complete and happy". "And to maintain the allegiances to the dream that you must find what is outside yourself to be complete and happy." So all those shiny objects that are out there for me right now, it can be since I'm single women, um, it can be new levels of success or new success, or the summit success, or looks likes, follows, or validation from the 2CCX crew. My coaches, um, you know, financial financially finding financial success again. Um, cause it's, it's been a little bit and that's okay. And all these things, if I can, if I can fill the God-sized hole with God, with infinite intelligence, with whatever, then those allegiances to the dream, to the outside shiny objects. Um, I'm not looking at those for the short term happiness, um, or to make me feel complete. And I would even go so far as to say that could be, you know, your girlfriend doing what you want her to do in the moment. Like she's acting like you want her to, or your boyfriend or whatever, whatever way you swing, um, guy, girl, or your whatever, I'm going to save it.
Mischa Z: 07:12 I believe you get what I'm saying. Or, you know, your kids a loser in the moment or doing what you want, acting, how you want having success, whatever it is not being a pain in the butt, blah, blah, blah. Right? It's like, oh yes, I'm whole life is so great. That can change in a heartbeat. The more source that happiness is within seven.one, the more that's from within the more long-term happiness completeness, we will feel. Seven.one. Let us forget the purposes. "Let us forget the purpose of the world. The past has given it." "Let us forget the purpose of the world. The past has given it" 7.24. "Otherwise the future will be like the past. And, but a set, a series of depressing dreams in which all idols fail you one by one and you see death and disappointment, everywhere."
Mischa Z: 08:19 Everything we get attached to, we will lose. Right? Everything that I think I can't live without, I will have to learn to live with without, including my health, my hair life. As I know it, the way that I currently relate to this world. Um, but forget the, let us forget the purpose of the world. The past has given it, which means that whatever purpose we thought there was, we don't know it was illusory. It was. People are full of crap. They tell us that they know what the purpose is. Oh my God. Cause no one's ever living up to it. To change all this eight.one. "To change all this and open up a road of hope and of release in what appears to be an endless circle of despair you need, but to decide you do not know the purpose of the world." Oh, that was just the bomb set right there.
Mischa Z: 09:32 My gosh, I've got so much to go with times that I lost track of how long this, this one was going. And then I was going on my yoga rant to start. Um, all we need to do is decide, I do not know the purpose of the world. And I love that, man. I love when I'm in the mindset of more will be revealed, who knows? It's not for me to know. I don't know. It's so big who knows what's going on out there? Like how much freedom that creates in me. And that can be, it can be a tough, that could be a tough wall to get over or a tough wall to breakthrough. Say it however you want. But when I truly believe at none of that man, how freeing is that, then I don't need to know. And I don't need to pretend that I know for you or anything.
Mischa Z: 10:28 So good. Nine dot six. "The fear of God is, but the death is, but the fear of loss of idols". Nine, six, "The fear of God is, but the fear of loss of idols". Nine.Seven, "It is not the fear of loss of your reality." I I love that, man. It's like this idea that if I go all in on God or source or the infinite or whatever, again, call it whatever you want. I'm just going to say God, if I go all in on God, that I'm like what I have to let go of success. I have to let go of girls. I have to let go of money. I have to let go of all this stuff and I won't get it, all these things that I'm unwilling to go of perhaps. And the cool thing is if we can let go, if we, if we can stop fearing the loss of those idols, all those shiny objects who knows what it is for you, long-term marriage, or I have no idea, healthy kids or dating, lots and lots of multiple girlfriends who knows what it is, can be so many different things.
Mischa Z: 11:37 But, um, "the fear of God is, but the fear of loss of idols." Yes. So the point is, if you can let go of those, the fear of loss, and then you just don't, it doesn't mean you won't get it, but you just don't care. How cool was that? Like, I don't care if this or that happens or I get this for that. And if I do great, if I don't, so be it anyway, I better chop chop nine dot eight. "But you have made of your reality, an idol, which you must protect against the light of truth." I mean, how true is that you have made that you have made of your reality and idle meaning fear of losing what I have or not getting what I want.
Mischa Z: 12:32 Salvation ten.two. "Salvation seeks to prove there is no death and only life exists. That's a deep one. I'm not even sure how to talk about that. Let's see. I believe the idea is that when we're attached to these idols and these illusions and these things, they are constantly going away and changing and follow falling apart and quote unquote dying or going away, or we're losing them, fear, death, all these, right? Like wrap it up however you want. And so if we find salvation we're able to find source and be so full of God and source that we let go of all of this illusions. It there's no illusions, there's nothing to lose. There is no death and fracturing and, and all these things and change. So love that. Hey, I think I did a pretty good job. Thank you. Explaining 10 dot two. 10.5 in the last one. "Let him remind you of his love for you and do not seek to drown his voice in chance of deep despair to idols of yourself" more of what is a different spin on the same, turn the source. And, uh, don't drown out source with the shiny objects with the sirens call.
Mischa Z: 14:21 Oh my God. There's so much up there. Everybody have a great day. Actually. I won't stop right there. I want to say what I said. So you got to hear me talk about how powerful yoga is to keeping a nice, flexible life and a empowered life. And then also, um, some ACIM goodness, there we go. Have yourself a great day.
