Peter Crone explores how recurring patterns in relationships, money, and health all point to the same inner theme the person is here to resolve. Everything in life, he argues, is happening exactly on schedule.

It's like, you know, wherever you go, there you are. And it's so funny that whatever somebody has as a [snorts] series of relationship issues, a series of money and business issues, like, oh, wow, you're the consistent theme. Do you think there might be some sort of correlation? >> Right. [laughter] Right. Right. >> Um, so we are today on East Coast time. I think home for you when you're not traveling the globe is mountain time. >> Yeah. But there's another sphere of time that I've heard you refer to as DST, divine standard timing. >> I love this. >> Yeah. >> So, do you think that everything in life happens according to divine timing? And if everything happens according to divine timing, does that mean that it's unfolding exactly as it should be and it's happening for our highest good? >> Yes. Next question. [laughter] Final answer. >> Final answer. Next. >> Yeah. Well, it's like Einstein said, you either look at everything as a miracle or nothing as a miracle, right? So, it's an either or. It's not a gradient, you know? It's not like, oh, well, that person died at the wrong time, but that person died at the right time. Like, it just doesn't even make sense when you break it down, >> you know? I I I really love this. Like, when you said this, it was such a simple thing, but like if people don't get a lot of things, like people can get timing and like time zones, and it was such a cool way to like present that. Yeah, >> it's like just to take it away from that like every single thing that's unfolding for you is literally happening according to plan >> and it's going to take you to your next level. Just trust that and then just ride the wave with that, you know, a very simplistic way of >> shooting it down. >> It it just it helps to again like so all suffering to me or the majority of suffering is based in time, right? So there's never a problem here. There's always the problem in terms of what we're regretting or frustrated or disappointed or angry about past or worried about anxious about fearful about future right that's usually we're in some sort of chronological emotional mental time but where we're at I mean echoi wrote a whole book and as as far as I know 20 plus years been talking about the now that's all he talks about [laughter] right but it does well and it touches the lives of millions of people because if you're just in the now there's no problem right so All problems exist, I tell people, in perspective, not in reality. That's not to say that people's realities are easy, and I'm not saying that there aren't hardships that people go through. That is what you signed up for, being a hero as a human. >> Um, but suffering is what we do in the way that we relate to circumstances, right? That's where the distinction between pain, unavoidable, sentient being, you're going to, you know, twist your knee and your ankle, you're going to chip your tooth, like that's just going to happen. But suffering, there's at least the option to not suffer once you can realize these distinctions that life is where it is. I'm here with a set of constraints that I arrive with and my mission if I choose to accept is to break out of them and I'm going to be presented with people and circumstances to reveal where I'm not free. Aka people are going to piss the out of me. No, they're not. They're going to be the gifts. You know, these like what do they call them? NPCs or non-player characters and videos, games that like trigger you. And isn't it amazing that wherever you live, wherever you're born, whoever you marry, whether you have kids or not, whatever job you have, you're going to get precisely the the circumstances you need for your own set of constraints >> to free you. >> Isn't that incredible? >> It is incredible. >> Like it doesn't matter. Like that's what I'm saying. your three quid, your three kids, same roof, maybe even same school, same group of friends, same parents, they will absolutely attract what they need for their own soul's evolution. >> Yeah, it's wild. >> Yeah, >> it's just so beautiful though if you really see it. >> And it's just getting out of your own way, I guess, with whatever you're imposing onto the situations. >> Yeah. >> To be on the receiving end of what you need. >> Cuz otherwise, if you don't look at it that way, then you're always a victim. >> Yeah. you know, it is cuz your dad was a jerk or it is cuz your parents got divorced or your mom never showed affection. Well, then you're going to go through life constantly as a victim and it's like, okay, now you're 30 and it's, you know, it's your your ex-girlfriend or now you're 40 and it's like you're whatever. It always becomes something else. >> It's just always something else that you're at the effect of. Right. Right. Yeah. >> It's just But that's exhausting. >> Yeah, that is exhausting. >> Yeah. part of your teachings is for people to understand 10 mental prisons that we all live in. I'm still learning about these prisons as we as we walk through the the mastermind. Yeah. >> But one of those prisons that I am familiar with um that I wanted to talk a little bit about is the notion of I am not okay. >> Okay. >> And I can remember a conversation I had had a few years ago with a friend. I don't remember what we were talking about, but I remember at the end of the conversation saying to her, I just want to know that everything's going to be okay. >> Yeah. And you know, looking back, I feel like that was for sure little Lauren that was kind of projecting forward being like, I just want to make sure everything's going to be okay and I'm going to be safe. [clears throat] >> Yeah. >> What are ways that people can process that notion on their own? And we've certainly touched upon it, you know, a little bit with with what we've been talking about, but like >> when something presents itself that starts to get you riled up, how can you process that of like, hang on one second, >> I really am okay and everything is going to be okay. Is there a way that we can kind of walk ourselves off the ledge to kind of start this rewiring process? >> Uh yes. Uh again, it's through the two main buckets that I've talked about in the mastermind. You got to start with awareness, right? Awareness not of the circumstances which most people are always trying to manage, control, mitigate or whatever, but rather the way that you're reacting to circumstances, right? awareness of for you I would even say right okay I'm not okay is a present state statement >> I think for you based on what you were explaining it's more that I'm not going to be okay >> subtle right so I'm not okay is present state but I'm not going to be okay is the fear >> correct >> so and that's that's the main prison that I talk about in terms of how humans relate to future conversations right we're never in our future we're always just talking about it thinking about it but the lens that we look through as it relates to futures. The default setting, the factory settings of the human brain is I'm not going to be okay. Worst case scenario, right? So, first of all is to recognize that if you're here as a human, which I'm assuming if you're listening to this, you are. So, hello. Welcome. >> Hello. Welcome. Welcome to planet Earth. >> You don't have to worry about it. You have the filter, the prison, you're not going to be okay. Now, the older you've gotten, the more evidence you have that you keep surviving. Maybe that's softened a little bit. If you're younger and you're, you know, don't have any real trials and tribulations yet, you know, because you haven't had the first heartbreak or the first firing or the first death, >> you might be like, I don't know, I'm going to be fine. You know, it hasn't sort of been turned on yet. It's still maybe dormant in their operating system. >> But just consider that that's just part of being human. Like, >> so the way to actually get beyond that is to recognize it's part of what it is to be human. No one's walking around going, "Oh like how do I figure out the fact that I've only got two arms?" You know, it's like >> no one's worried about that, right? It's just inbuilt. So, if you realize that this operating system that we're born into, albeit blind, and people are oblivious to it, and so that's why people just rush around trying to, you know, save themselves, control everything, and make sure they're going to be okay. >> But that's what then becomes self-fulfilling, right? Because then people get sick and they're exha they're exhausted and their adrenals are shot because they're trying to control the universe. >> Yeah. >> Which as a nanobacteria trying >> you start to realize how how futile that is. >> So yes. So it is by recognizing through awareness that oh I'm human therefore I'm designed to make it. I'm designed to survive. And then pick your poison of whatever is you're trying to survive. Right? It could be the fact that your parents want you to be a teacher or they want you to be a doctor or they want you to be a lawyer and you're like, "No, I'm just an artist, but now you're trying to survive that." So maybe you even go to law school to appease them, but you're unhappy. And you know, we go through those processes until we realize, "No, I'm a sovereign being. I get to do whatever I want to do." And people can have whatever opinion they have of that. And the whole I'm worried what people think about me is another misnomer, right? No, you're not worried what other people think about you. you're worried what you think other people think about you, which is still you worrying about you. >> Right. >> Right. So that whole gamut there that I just described is the operating system that you're stepping out of. So there's no answer within the system. You just have to see the system for what it is and then hopefully learn to get out of it. >> And when you said that, something came to mind is when you were [clears throat] speaking about the awareness is have awareness that you are just having an experience that it's just something that you're just experiencing. It doesn't make it good or bad. It's just something that you're experiencing >> for sure >> and you are okay and whatever you're experiencing you will work through and you will come out on the other end of it >> and you might not. >> So that's the bigger leap right is that I always joke I say you're going to survive until you don't. >> Mhm. >> So the worrying about survival becomes futile. >> And then when's the don't when you just have like >> I don't freaking know whenever time's up. I mean I might keel over right now in the middle of the podcast. I mean, it's not great timing, but I'm okay with it. Right. Right. >> You know, so it's just >> it's the full integration of all of it is freedom. >> Yeah. >> You know, like, you know, I work with a lot of athletes and I use the quote by Jack Nicholas a lot because it's so profound. He's the most winning professional golfer of all time, even more than Tiger. And he said that one of the most important parts of winning is being okay losing. This one.
