Anne: [00:00:00] Hi, I am Anne, and I'm Helen. And welcome to Metaphysical Street Smarts. What is Metaphysical Street Smarts? Helen 

Helen: Physical is everything you can see with your human eye. You can see, touch, feel, taste as a human. Metaphysical. Is that what you cannot see? Wifi microwave energy. When you feel somebody staring at you, you can't really feel eyesight.

Helen: So metaphysical is that what you can't perceive with the human eye? Street smarts means let's take the woowoo, the energetic, the airy fairy, and add it to logic so that you can have a better experience of yourself. In this one. 

Anne: As always, we invite you to take what blesses you and leave the rest. We're so glad you're here.

Anne: Let's jump in. Hi, Helen. Hi. Hi. How are you doing this week? 

Helen: Good. I'm [00:01:00] excited. Uh, I feel like it's pretty fun us talking and sharing how to think. Uh, with all our listeners and a again, I feel, uh, I do feel a little emotional that we're coming up on a whole year and wrapping it up for you to take a little break.

Helen: I'm hoping something else evolves out of it. Uh, I'm very excited about our workshop. 

Anne: Yeah, me too. We were just talking, uh, thinking about the, the price point for the workshop. Um, if you'd like to join, we were thinking it's gonna be October. 10th, we're gonna have a little bit of a sliding scale. So, um, $10 in honor of 10.

Anne: 10 or what. And then there were some additional options as well. 

Helen: Right? So Ann and I are both, we just wanna do it out of joy. And yet what I know about vibrational law is when you're in exchange, people receive more. And there are a lot of expenses with this podcast that Ann never let me know about [00:02:00] paying for domain and the website and the system and the editing and all of that stuff.

Helen: So we're gonna let everybody pick their price. You could pay $10 in honor of 10 10 or, or you could pay. $52, one for $1 per podcast that you might've listened to and benefited from. You can make up a number. You can pick, I don't know, $34 a seven for spirituality. What's your favorite number? What feels like a good exchange to you?

Helen: And again, if you can't join us live, you will get a recording and it'll be on Zoom, so you'll be able to see and there'll be handouts and. Even, and even those who do participate will receive the recording too, because I do like to overdeliver information and the format we're going to use to align you through principle based thought with what it is you chose for 2025 to get you an even more alignment to any goals [00:03:00] you did not yet accomplish, or new goals are fine too.

Helen: You can use the format over and over. So it'll be a power packed two hours of walking people through a formula over and over. And it's always nice in a group because other people will ask questions that you might not have thought about in that two hours. Mm-hmm. And I think we all learn from each other that it's a magnificent thing being in a group.

Helen: So, 10, 10. You get to pick your price point. It is an exchange, a charitable exchange, giving you some numbers to think about. Wait, what's 10, 10, 20, 25. That's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and five is 11. That's a two or or yeah. 10. 10 20. Uh, you can pick an amount. What you would do is email me. I'll send you back some payment options and you can pick whichever you'd like.

Helen: And we had something going for our first signups. I'll send you the audio book. Yeah, I did have that written down 

Anne: somewhere. So [00:04:00] we said, where did my notes go? Um, we were going to do a copy of the Logical Law of Attraction audio book, um, for the first, was it 10 or 20? 

Helen: I think we should say. Let's just make it.

Helen: Oh, okay. And if you already have the book, uh. I don't know what I could send you. I could send you, tell me where you're stuck in digital format, or I could send you logical law of attraction in digital format. I guess you'll have to pick your own price and tell me what you would like. Ann and I have done all the work for the podcast, and now we're putting the work on your end for this aspect.

Helen: How does that sound? 

Anne: A good exchange? I love it. I just, the people picking their own number, um, there's no pressure, no stress. It's just a joyful exchange of whatever, um, makes you happy in this. [00:05:00] And I would even love to hear why the number 

Helen: usually, you know, people don't like it when you say pick your own price, but we've given you some, some options.

Helen: Right. And yet our whole commitment with this podcast, you know, it is about the playful divine. And so we are being playful. It's not like just sticking it on you with no. Um, guidance or outline. And yeah, if you could tell us what your favorite number is and why you picked it or what the number means to you in a financial exchange, we would love that.

Helen: And if that's too much, don't worry about it. Just get registered. And um, again, you'll email me at Helen race@comcast.net. And let me know you want in for 10, 10 workshop. My website is going through all kinds of tech problems, so I don't know how often it's up or working. So even though the workshop will be listed there and hopefully available, you can just email me.

Helen: Perfect. My [00:06:00] email does work. Yeah. So, and if you don't hear back from me within two days, I didn't get 

Anne: it. Try me again. Yep. Or message us on Instagram. We'll get, we'll see your message there, so just let us know. Awesome. 

Helen: All right. So where are we at today? I think it's page 37. Yes. 

Anne: Yeah, so page 37. We're getting to, um, this chapter is talking about the end in mind and, uh, how that affects our vibration level.

Helen: Yeah. So we know. From science today, the higher vibration feels better than lower vibration. Like literally, they know that a diseased organ has a lower frequency than a, than when that organ is healthy. And for us, we just know laughter feels a hundred times better than the heaviness of grief, right? We, we know vibrationally being light feels better than being heavy and [00:07:00] dense, so.

Helen: When your end of mind is to have more good in your life, and remember, you want the clarity of good by your definition, not your parents, not authority figures, not mass consciousness, but you personally, in whatever form you're focusing on, then you proactively align vibrationally to the good that you already have.

Helen: These are, these are connected, they're combined. So when we allow negative circumstances to cause judgment or resistance. That's being reactive. It doesn't mean you skip this stage. Sometimes you will have the reaction like, oh, don't like this. Oh, judging this is not good. The clarity and the choice comes from feeling that, recognizing it, and then choosing, okay, I've got the message of what I don't like.

Helen: I've got clarity on this doesn't feel good, and how do I align to what does feel better? So when you choose gratitude for what's going well beyond the [00:08:00] current challenge, that's how you would be proactive and that supports you vibrationally to align to solutions instead of staying in that vibrational matched a victim consciousness.

Helen: So when we feel bad, we're disempowered. It doesn't mean it's wrong though, and it doesn't mean it doesn't have value. Feel bad. Figure out why you feel bad, figure out what the opposite would be, and then go bigger. So think of a telephoto lens. When you zoom into something that's, that's usually more of an egotistic, painful drama, trauma victim perspective.

Helen: When you zoom out to a larger picture, suddenly you can see more. Say you have a injured knee, the pain of the knee. Can consume your mind and make you feel horrible and create more pain. And yet, if you focus on all the other parts of your [00:09:00] body that are healthy, you can help balance with that pain and make better choices.

Helen: So when you're vibrating in low victim consciousness, it's very, very, very challenging to align to solution and bring in a better feeling experience. So you always want to figure out. What is it I'm aligned to for my end in mind that's positive. Like you wouldn't say I want knee pain for the rest of my life.

Helen: Right. So you think of what you would prefer as your end in mind, so you can think, speak, and act in vibrational alignment with a good outcome. I have a, uh, a friend, she said something that, I don't know, just it's, I still love it. She had injured her ankle and was doing pt and she said, when I feel it, I say, oh, ankle, I feel you healing.

Helen: Isn't that a great perspective? Yeah. That was just mind altering to me. [00:10:00] Talk about a paradigm shift. So synergies about staying in your business. How do you want to experience yourself in a hardship or with a physical pain or like, you know, in grief, you wanna get in clarity so that you, your authentic self.

Helen: What you're choosing at this level of consciousness in the present moment is aiming for. Don't forget everything. We want next is just outside our comfort zone.

Helen: So what is it you want to know about yourself? Going through whatever it is you're going through when you show up authentically in your own unique clarity with a challenge, a hardship, a circumstance, a relationship, a situation. Synergy is what is created between you and that. The win-win win is that you don't let [00:11:00] reality hijack your chemistry and health through stress.

Helen: The more you remain proactive and in clarity of how you prefer to experience yourself, you're also blessing all of us with the peace you're creating on earth. Remember, you're never not contributing to mass consciousness. 24 7, you're contributing. And so when you're saying, I'm not gonna get in a place where I expect to stay in overwhelm, stressed out mode, I'm gonna feel the stress and the overwhelm.

Helen: Get a list of priorities going, pick my end in mind, and I'm gonna show up the way I'd like to know myself as showing up in this. That's when you create something new with hardship. Seeking to understand allows a different focus and is proactive by having you sharpen the saw through learning a bigger picture of current circumstances and how not to take it personally, [00:12:00] 

Anne: biggest, whatever.

Anne: Right. It's so big. I mean, yeah. That's another life changer is when I figure out the moments, the time, the when I remember not to take it personally. Everything gets so much better, 

Helen: and we only take it personally if we're zoomed into the ego. 

Anne: Mm-hmm. 

Helen: When we zoom out, we realize other people might be hangry or in automatic patterns or haven't communicated well, or I'm not seeking to understand.

Helen: Then it's suddenly not personal. It's just something I wanna look at and learn through seeking to be understood from a higher vibration of patience and forgiveness. For self seeking to understand that I'm human and I'm not gonna always be perfect, and sometimes I'm gonna struggle and drop a principle or take things personally until I figure my way out of it or until I seek help, [00:13:00] means that I'm sharpening my saw and learning what I can receive today.

Helen: How much further can I go with personal growth or spiritual growth right now? Or maybe it'll provoke me to go get help energy work. Um. Coaching body work therapy, you know, seeking to understand how you can sharpen your saw, which means getting new information is helping you to learn what can be received, um, what you can give yourself and give in the situation.

Anne: I like the idea that, um, especially if there's a strong tendency toward codependence or. Healthy interdependence. Then being able to zoom out and, and go, what am I contributing? Because I care about how what I'm doing here affects the people around me and what my footprint [00:14:00] is. I care about that. So even if I'm having a hard time in stuck in my own experience, being able to zoom out of that and.

Anne: Look at the bigger picture of, okay, I'm feeling messy about this situation. What's my overall, I don't think I did it perfectly, but I showed up. I may have been triggered and then spent a few minutes feeling, or a little while not feeling great, but then I thought about it and showed up the way I wanted to.

Anne: That's so powerful to know that I. Made a mistake with my kids or didn't show up the way I wanted to, and then in that I made the choice to go and take it higher. That's a contribution, and I don't have to feel bad about getting it wrong. I can feel really good about the contribution of being in a lower frequency and upping my level, 

Helen: which ideally is what children can learn from.

Helen: Mm-hmm. Seeing their [00:15:00] parents that mistakes are normal or. Evolution. Personal growth is normal. You know, instead of it's just black and white and you get it right or you get it wrong, and that's it. Right? 

Anne: Some people, parent or used to parent in a way that even if they know they're wrong, they have such an inability to recognize, um, that they're not showing up in a, in a way that's contributing positively that they.

Anne: Kind of logic it into that what they're doing is the right way anyway. Like basically making what they're doing right instead of going, uh, yeah, I wish I had done that differently. And then moving, moving up that way instead of bringing the vibration down to them, moving up to what they want, I guess. 

Helen: Yes.

Helen: And so one of two things happens. One, they make it the new the right way because. [00:16:00] It just is. Mm-hmm. Or two, they blame the victim. Yeah. They blame the one they beat or yelled at or criticized, or unfairly treated. And do you wanna know why that happens? 

Anne: Yes. 

Helen: It is a part of the human brain that fears survival if they're wrong.

Helen: So many people can't say I'm wrong. Mm-hmm. Without having their heart start racing, they'd sweat. I mean, everybody listening, just try it after the podcast. Stand in front of the mirror and say, I was wrong. Sometimes I'm wrong. I am wrong. And then try it with a loved one and you'll find out, uh, it's really freaking hard to say.

Helen: Are you feeling it, Dan? 

Anne: Yeah. Even just, I'm like, oh man, I really do hate being wrong. 

Helen: And so you don't. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Um, and so what that is, is it's wired in the brain that if you are wrong, [00:17:00] you could be thrown out of the tribe and you won't survive alone. It's like prehistoric brainwashing. It's really literally in the oldest part of the brain, the reptilian part, and it's just, it takes so much personal and ethical growth to just say, oh, look at that.

Helen: I made a mistake. Let's, let's fix it. Right, and I will give a tip here, one of my favorite ways to apologize so that my mind tears and so that I benefit from it. Pretty sure it bugged my husband and sons for a while, but I did it anyway 'cause I really wanted to evolve. I would say, Hey, when I said blah, blah, blah, I wish instead I would've acknowledged how great you are.

Helen: And I wish I would've said this instead, and then I, I, I like redo it with a witness the way I would've preferred to do it. And that has rewired my brain. 

Anne: It works, it works. I'm, I'm taking so many notes 'cause there are things, I'm so glad we're going back [00:18:00] over this because there's so many things that I use as a tool and then forget about, so that's going in my notes here.

Helen: Okay, let me see where, oh, so. Now I'm on page 38. All of your ends in mind, or all of your goals or your targets would logically, that means smartly, intelligently be about the best outcome possible for you and others. You know, we're in 2025 right now. We're coming into the first time on Mother Earth and recorded history where we are coming into a unified field of consciousness, a more of a oneness perspective.

Helen: We are part of the whole, the more we can think of putting the oxygen mask on ourselves first, being in our own business first, and then seeking to understand how it benefits others, the easier time we'll have in this chaotic times. So think of this in [00:19:00] reverse. Um, this often stops me, Helen, from being reactive out loud.

Helen: This is because I never ever have an end in mind of making someone wrong. That never gives me good long-term results. Make somebody wrong and they will dig in into defensiveness attack energy because it, you've threatened their survival at an unconscious level and I've gotten really good at it. Now. I just don't make anything wrong.

Helen: I just say, well, okay, what would you, you know, let's focus on how you can uplevel that. And it's really served me as a coach. It's just amazing all the different life experiences out there. If I had a right and wrong scale, it would be exhausting. Instead, it's about, let's not make anything wrong. Let's focus on what we prefer next.

Helen: How can we uplevel what would be better for me and for them? Um, I still might use tone or firmness to get things moving along, yet I never have an end in mind to be [00:20:00] bitter, insulting, belittling to get something. And since studying Course in Miracles, I now. Never had the intention of being defensive because defending is just arguing with somebody who's not ready to hear, right?

Helen: Mm-hmm. That took me a long line to, to get clear on. Um, my end in mind never aligns to acting or responding and lower vibrations. So there's a famous adage, pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. And I really wanna give up suffering. The other, there's a quote I really like, but before I tell you that, let me give you this.

Helen: When you're skilled in principle-based thinking, consider, you would never pick suffering as your end in mind. You would never pick hurt feelings, you would never pick taking things personally. [00:21:00] Right. That's the cool thing about principles. They're self-evident. Just flip 'em and you'll see, oh yeah, no, don't want that.

Helen: Right? So here's the quote I really love. Well, I didn't like it at first, but I like it now. Circumstance does not make the man, it reveals him to himself. This is James Allen. So there was a lot of years in my life when circumstance would reveal that I was an overwhelmed, reactive person. Uh huh. Now it reveals to me that even if it takes a red hot minute or two or more, I'll always revert to principal based thought and have a, the best quality of experience possible.

Anne: It's a 

Helen: nice 

Anne: place to 

Helen: be. Okay. So this was on the practice of setting a high vibration. Okay. When giving or helping another, a healthy ended mind. Is that we want to feel good in the giving and have the receiver feel good too. [00:22:00] That sounds so simple and logical, doesn't it? You might think of times when that has not been accurate for you.

Helen: Being proactive to understand what is desired by another, which would be putting first things first, means you can create a win, win win. You feel good, they feel good, and it definitely ripples out. Without seeking to understand what can be received or the timing of it, we leave out the chance to sharpen the saw with a higher level of clarity of our end in mind.

Helen: Watch any movie and notice how often so much of the communication, drama, and trauma in the movie could have easily been avoided if strategic timing were used, which includes strong skill in being in your own business. Which is a must for creating synergy. It would be your business to see when the other person could receive what you're saying in, [00:23:00] in a better way to create success.

Helen: So how you give as in what, when, and where is always your business. So I have a, a, um, a little story on this one. So I use, this took me a minute, but every morning have a ritual with the. A big male German Shepherd. It's we. I throw the ball for him and then he'll eat his breakfast. Well, he is a big brother.

Helen: He was raised with his sister sibling and his favorite game in the world is hogging the toy and not giving it to him. So I used to get annoyed and frustrated that he wouldn't play fetch the way. Apparently I wanted to play fetch where he came and dropped it when I wanted him to. And then it occurred to me, really, what are we doing here?

Helen: Why are we playing ball with the dog? For him to have fun, then why am I expecting him to wanna play the way I want him to play? So now a lot of my morning is spent doing his favorite game, which is saying, [00:24:00] gimme that. And then he holds the ball in his mouth and he wags his entire body. He's so happy to have what I want and keep it away from me.

Helen: And then I go into the kitchen, I leave the door open, I go into the kitchen to make my tea or work on his food or do whatever. And he'll come and he'll drop it at the back door where I can hear it, and then I just go pick it up and throw it. And yes, sometimes he doesn't drop it for a while, and sometimes it's one after another.

Helen: Um, and yet it goes back to what's my role? Wanting, what am I really wanting to give him playtime. It doesn't have to be by what I think it should be. It's by what he wants and enjoys, and he's so expressive. But isn't that interesting that I let myself suffer a few times overthinking, he's a, he's just not doing it right?

Helen: Mm-hmm. Whereas now it's just a joyful playtime. It just looks different than I expected. So that's my example of giving and receiving with clear. Happiness for both [00:25:00] the giver and the receiver 

Anne: makes a big difference. Yeah. Uh, just allowing people to be who they are in their own way instead of thinking we know how to make them happy, 

Helen: or that their happiness is gonna be our version of it.

Anne: Mm-hmm. 

Helen: Which I'm sure you get to practice all the time with two little boys. 

Anne: Oh. Creates a lot of diversity even between the two. One's idea is not the others. So awesome. Well, I, yeah, to be loved that way is, is a joy to get to experience it. So, 

Helen: and it, and is giver. It is too. Like when you can really deliver for each of those little individual personalities that you mother fun.

Helen: Don't you enjoy it too? 

Anne: Oh, I know when I've hit my mark. Yep. Hmm. 

Helen: It's so fun. Yeah, it is. Boy, parenting and principal based thought is a [00:26:00] really fast way to master it even. Yeah. Because you'll get 400 opportunities a day to practice. Mm-hmm. 

Anne: Even, um, even reparenting yourself like myself. Uh, lots of opportunities.

Anne: So great. Okay, well our next episode is episode 52. We've got some, oh my gosh.
