Vocal De Frag Episode 191 If They Don't Wear Your Socks They Aren't You

Arrow dot net. It's more than just a podcast. It's a choice of podcasts. In other words,

it is a podcast network of choices. I don't know about you, but when it comes to listening

to a podcast, I'm not always in the mood for the latest news. I need something that's

going to be fun. You know, like foodie paradise cooking food, being with chefs I can relate

with or people that just really like to do the right thing when it comes to putting protein

inside of you, foodie paradise on arrow dot net, a R R O E dot net. Enjoy your exploration.

Hey, it's arrow. And this is vocal D frag vocal D fragging is the opportunity to ask yourself

the questions and question the answers, which can be a very difficult task for a lot of people,

because when you ask yourself the questions, you're going, what do I do? Do I go to chat GPT?

What do I do? Do I go to Google? Do I go to Grock? Where am I going to go to get answers?

Why don't you just go to the source? You ask yourself the questions and then question the answers.

I mean, you can surround yourself with a lot of people that think they know who you are,

but unless they smell your underwear or put their foot inside your socks, which then go inside

your shoe, which then goes onto your path and then enters your full day and experiences the

ups and downs of twist, the spins, the ends, the outs, you know what? They don't have anything for

you. They suggest Native American medicine man once sat down with me and he says, you know what's

wrong with the Western culture is that your medicine men practice medicine. And I was like,

what? He says, yeah, your doctors, they practice medicine. How many times have you been to a doctor?

They don't know what the hell is wrong with you, but we ran to them for answers. And they're going

to try this and they're going to try that. Then they're going to try this pill, that pill, go

every direction, but you know, you did go there to ask the questions and then you question their

answers, but you left somebody very, very important out of this equation. You left yourself out of

the questions. And that's the whole thing about being a deep rager is that you've got to include

yourself. I mean, I, I was that dude that I asked myself every fricking day, who are you? Where are

you? Why are you? When are you? How? And, and all of these other things that stood in the way.

And then the thing is, is that I finally started locating answers where?

By deep ragen, November of 2017. It's 2026 now. Nine years have gone by. Hundreds, if not thousands,

of journals with pages in them that are stained by the ink that refuse to fall on my hand,

but rather they fell through my hand. So when I say, hey, ask yourself the questions and question

the answers. I'm not sitting there trying to challenge you to, to look for all of your,

your faults to, you know, to, to take a guilt trip and write it for five or six miles and think

you're going to be, you know, whoa, I'm going to be blessed or I'm going to have this great day

because I took a day to ask myself the questions. It's not just today. It is a lifestyle.

It is a journey. It is the process of understanding who you are because your sticky ass feet

are going into those socks. I don't care if you had a bath today. You stepped on your wooden floor

or your carpeted floor and there's so much crap on that that has fallen off your body.

Oh, yeah, dead skin, hair. Come on. It doesn't matter how many times you vacuum that floor,

you didn't suck it all up. And so where does that go? On to the bottom of your feet,

into your socks, into that shoe, and onto your path to go through your day. Well, what the hell is

the situation in this journey? Well, the situation is, is that you've got to ask, who are you?

Where are you? Why are you? When are you? And just ask those questions. But if you're running off

to everybody else to say, well, what can I do in this situation? Now, I'm not making fun of you.

I'm just saying this is the way that it really is. When it comes to asking questions and questioning

answers, we tend to say, ah, you know, I'm going to pass the baton on this one. Even though I'm in a

four person relay race around this track, no, the fact of the matter is you're not in a relay race,

okay? You're in a personal race. You could be from a family of 10 like I was and still am.

And it still was about me. It was. Where are those other nine people? Where they at? Sure,

we can call upon them, but they're not living your lifestyle. They're not living your,

your unanswered questions, your changes, your challenges, your imbalances, your indifferences.

They're not living that. But you are and you hold that method of madness that could give you

inner peace in ways that you know what? Not even a Native American medicine man can give it to you.

And drags that same one that I sat with would probably tell you the same thing. If it ain't coming

from you, then it's not you. If it's coming from everybody else, then you are them. Ask yourself

the questions, question, the answers I call it vocal deep ragging. I do it on a digital device

because pitch, volume, and tone are everything. You can always come back and you can recapture the

emotion of what was going on and what was moving through you and your present place of right now.

Whereas if you write it, then it's the interpretation of what your mood was in that moment.

And you can't find yourself in a position of doing nothing more, but basing your life upon

what was written. It's your interpretation. Like if I go back to my journals of July of 1994, okay?

It's my interpretation of what he wrote in 1994. It's not how I know it as because how it's

1994. Once again, it's 2026. Do you really think that I can remember it to the tea, how things

planned out and worked out? No, no. So record it. Don't be afraid of it. Don't be afraid of yourself

and don't be afraid that somebody's going to find it. Who cares? Do you know what they're going to

find it anyway after you transition? Ask yourself the questions, question, the answers I call it vocal

de-fraggin. I'm your own.
