(Timestamps & Gold Gems)


[09:51 - 10:34] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem
What really struck me was the one thing that humans can do that no other species can do is humans can materialize the invisible human beings can actually have an idea and translate that idea into reality. And one of the things we talked about at the Summit of Greatness was that humans create futures in the same way that silkworms create silk. And beavers naturally intrinsically create dams and ants create colonies, and bees create beehives and honey, humans create futures. But it's so intrinsic to who we are that we do not realize that's our unique contribution to all the species on the planet.


[13:05 - 13:46] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem 
I'm absolutely convinced that if you want to find proof of God, look at human nature. Human beings were created to dream, and to imagine, and to create. It's one of the things I love telling people is, look, you were born in the imagination of God. God imagined you before you existed. In that sense, God dreamed about you before you ever had your first dream. And but you were, imagined to imagine, and you were created to create. And that every human being is both a work of art and an artist at work. And I just love the fact that the best reflection of the image of God is when a human being creates good in the world.


Topic: The 7 Frequencies of Communication
[23:07 - 24:01] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem  

I'm just gonna lay 'em out real quick. There's a frequency called MOTIVATOR, which inspires and encourages. There's a frequency called CHALLENGER that calls people out and calls people up. There's a frequency called COMMANDER that tells people what to do and takes authority and control. There's a frequency called HEALER that sees everyone as broken and they want to bring healing and care. There's a frequency called the PROFESSOR. They think all that matters is the information and the facts, and all they want to do is create a transference of knowledge. There's a frequency called SEER, and they're vision casters. They're visionaries and they elevate the room by helping people see a different picture of the future, a bigger picture of their life and of the world. And then there's a frequency called the MAVEN, and a maven is a psychological mental disruptor. They change paradigms, they change the way you see reality. Those are the seven frequencies. 


[35:11 - 36:00] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem 
I think one of the great challenges people have is that they keep trying to find their purpose in their career or in their job, or in what they do. And actually, your purpose should be rooted in who you are, who you're becoming, not what you're doing. Because, if your purpose is your job and you lose your job, you've lost your purpose. If your purpose is your career and you've lost your career, you've lost your purpose. If your purpose is your success and then you have a downturn and you lose that success, you've lost your purpose. And that's why so many people go through a crisis of purpose is because their purpose was externalized in something that was outside of their control. When your purpose is outside of your control, you're in danger of losing your purpose. The only thing within your control is the person you choose to become.


[38:27 - 39:10] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem
So I said, all right, you've lost that billion dollars, but you've gained a billion dollars worth of experience. You're not the same person you were. You're like exponentially more powerful, more knowledgeable, and you are bringing so much more to the table now than you did then. So if you could create a billion dollars from the person you were then, how much can you create with the person you are now?  And I've watched all of them rise back up, because it's not about having a million dollars or a billion dollars, it's about the person that makes you, the person you must become, to create that kinda wealth and that kind of future.


[46:30 - 46:57]  Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem
When you love what you're doing, you have more energy. So what I would say is, instead of saying, get outta bed and stop sleeping and stop being a bum and stop being lazy, I go, Hey, stop doing what you hate and find a way to do what you love and you only have one life. If, even if you spend your life making a hundred million dollars if you spent your whole life working, but you haven't enjoyed a single day, what did you make?


[52:10 - 53:05] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem
And, so when people say you need to focus, some of it is there are people who have been given this rare gift to have one talent, and that one talent becomes the full expression of their life. I happen to not be that talented,  and so my talents are diversified and my talent is in my diversity. My talent is in the uniqueness of my diversification. And I'm able to express that talent in multiple things. I think where it becomes a problem is when you're doing things that you shouldn't be doing. The things that you don't have the talent to do or things that you don't have the passion to do or things you don't have the skill to do. And the way of knowing if you're doing too many things is are you having to cheat the process? If you're cheating the process, you shouldn't be doing it.


[1:03:20 - 1:04:17] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem
And what is amazing is, what the study showed was that creativity and genius isn't something you learn, it's something you have to hold onto, and that actually human beings are created intrinsically creative. That every human being has a unique genius to them.

Gold Gems

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem  

Number one, I could make sure I can figure out, how did I get here? Number two, how do I make sure this never happens again? And if I can, and then if I can do number one and number two, can I potentially have a healthy relationship? The answer is yes. And if I can do these three, then number four, which is how do I teach other people how to not go through the exact same pathway that I did? So that's really the backstory of why I'm teaching it.

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem 
Most of the time relationships are fantasies. They're in a fantasy, and what I discovered, is that's why every relationship I was having, I was divorced back in 2011, every relationship was failed, a failed relationship because I was entering them thinking that the other person is there to heal me from my insecurities and make me happy and all of our unresolved woundings from childhood are going to be saved by the other person. And that fails miserably when we enter that with the covert agreement that that's what's gonna happen, the relationship is doomed to fail. 

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem
Now there's an option here, you either project that past wounding onto the other person and say, “Why are you doing this to me”? Which, you both are gonna be doing this to one another.Or you learn the skills of understanding your wounding, your attachment distress responses, fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. This is what happens when you get into conflict. You fight, (poke), you flight (run), “I'm getting the hell outta here”. You freeze, which is you hide or you just shut down or you fawn, which means just fixing. Let's just fix, abandon yourself and fix.

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem
Trauma is stuck, stored energy in our system. If you take on the work of shifting that stored traumatic energy through the system, your partner that used to trigger all of those past stuff, all of a sudden they'll say the thing that won't evoke the same response in you. Option number one, the dynamic shifts and arising tide lift all boats and the relationship transforms.

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem
What I do is I work with people and get 'em to a place where they have an open heart and they can move on. What's the most loving thing for both parties to do? And sometimes the most loving thing is to move on. That's the question. The work is to get the person to a place where they can have a deep love for themselves. When you have a deep love for yourself, you won't tolerate being treated less than that. So a lot of people do move on and a lot of people, the relationship dynamic completely changes. And it's a work in progress. 

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem
Why do we step over these red flags when it comes to love? When it comes to sex, and it comes to money? And the answer to that is "FANTASY". We have fantasies from childhood when it comes to love. When it comes to sexuality, we have sexual trauma. There is your first sexual experience. Oftentimes, there's incest with family members. This is gonna be very triggering to a lot of people, but we talk about it very openly. Our sexual identity, our love identity, and our money identity comes from past experiences, our culture

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem
If you don't experience that level of feeling seen and attuned emotionally by a conscious parent, a fantasy gets implanted with love. I'm gonna have somebody make, totally adore and worship me with money. Oh, I'm gonna be rich and famous. So now you have this fantasy of I wanna be famous,

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem
So what happens is when you get into a relationship with somebody, two people have these uncovered fantasies that they project onto one another called a shared fantasy. And this is what fuels the trauma bond, it's the shared fantasy. And so part of healing from a trauma bond is dismantling that fantasy and really finding appreciation in reality. Changing your relationship to dopamine and getting the reward of the fame or the likes and the whatever, and to really give, learn how to give that to self.

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem
It's like you've been born into a fishbowl with dirty water. You're saying, how do you heal from that? You gotta get out of that fishbowl. You gotta be planted into an aquarium that's clean or a garden where the soil has been toxic and deficient. You gotta remove yourself from that and put yourself in healthy soil and learn how to create a boundary around that soil that says, this is who I am. So now when you go in different places and other people have opinions about you that are different than you, you're able to say, no, this is what I feel about me regardless, and that is a spiritual journey.

Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem
The first place to begin starts to learn how to the different parts of the nervous system and learn what they feel like when they get activated and how to operate the machinery.Because without that, business doesn't work. Your relationship with money wouldn't work. Your intimate partnerships, they're always, you're always activating one another. Yep. So this was critical information that I really needed to learn and so I teach what I most need to learn now.
