When you tune into the energy of the world right now, are we heading towards a more global awakening or more of a global breakdown?

Colette Baron-Reid 0:08
We cannot awaken without a disruption. So there's no way to to awaken anything if we go with the status quo. So we needed a disruptor. Like all of these things that are coming up right now are mirrors of our own human journey. People are coming together that had different opinions. Only way is to take that energy and the focus on the now and stay out of the hole. And we do know that the shift in consciousness is already happening too, and we don't need every single person on the planet to do that.

Alex Ferrari 0:45
So then let me ask you some questions in regards to what's happening now, and if you can give us any insights.

Colette Baron-Reid 0:51
But here's the deal, that's not I do not believe that that is....

Alex Ferrari 1:05
I like to welcome back to the show returning champion, Colette Baron-Reid, how you doing Colette?

Colette Baron-Reid 1:09
Great. I'm awesome, and I'm excited to be here today with you. Alex, you have the best interviews. You have the best anybody here has not yet signed up to Next Level Soul films, or what

Alex Ferrari 1:22
TV.

Colette Baron-Reid 1:23
You need to. You absolutely need to. The coolest things are there now anyway, for you,

Alex Ferrari 1:30
I appreciate that very, very, very much. And of course, you have a wonderful series on Next Level Soul TV, The motorcycle medium, which people love, they love like it's, it's just a cool thing of it. It was so much fun that was a while ago.

Colette Baron-Reid 1:45
Oh, my God, it's over 10 years old,

Alex Ferrari 1:48
Yeah, but it's great stuff.

Colette Baron-Reid 1:49
Yeah, Mark did that. My husband shot the whole thing and everything.

Alex Ferrari 1:54
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. So Collette, I wanted to bring you back on one because, of course, I missed talking to you, but, but there is a lot of insanity going on in the world.

Colette Baron-Reid 2:05
Oh, can we talk about that?

Alex Ferrari 2:08
Yeah, we're gonna get we're gonna get into it. Now, let's just talk about flowers for the rest of this conversation. No, there is a lot of things going on in the world, and people are, are there. Are scared, are terrified. Now, with all that said, our last conversation, we talked a lot about this. I've had multiple conversations on the show going back three or four years that we were that there were warnings about what was coming. Like guys, yeah, there is going to be some stuff coming. There is a storm of brewing, and a lot of it's going to get it's going to get worse before it gets better. We this is all new. It's not new. We've heard all of this before,

Colette Baron-Reid 2:48
Yeah, and we've seen it,

Alex Ferrari 2:50
And we've seen it. So the thing is this, that, in my opinion, look, the storm is coming. It's already here, in many ways.

Colette Baron-Reid 2:56
Yeah, I was going to say that,

Alex Ferrari 2:58
Yeah, it's already here. But this, but, and I've been in I lived in Florida for most of my life, a lot of my life in Florida. So I'm used to hurricanes, so I use that as an analogy. Like everyone with with an earthquake, you don't know when it hits, it just hits. But a hurricane, you get sometimes weeks ahead. Hey, it's coming. It's coming. It's coming. It's coming. It's one of those natural disasters that gives you warning, as opposed to a tornado, things like that. So the storms. So what do you do when you know the storm is coming? You can't argue with the storm. The storm is happening unless you completely get out of the way, leave the state, leave where it's going to hit. You're going to be affected. So what do you do to prepare? So what's coming and how to weather the storm, because it is just it will pass. But

Colette Baron-Reid 3:46
Yeah, totally,

Alex Ferrari 3:47
It's so first questions for you.

Colette Baron-Reid 3:49
Okay,

Alex Ferrari 3:50
Let's dive in. When you tune it, when you tune into the energy of the world right now, are we heading towards a more global awakening or more of a global breakdown in the short term or long term, All right? So let's get into it.

Colette Baron-Reid 4:05
Yeah. So first I want to talk about something that I saw many, many years ago. And one of the things that I noticed is a lot of people in that are mediums, or we're remote viewers, or whatever we do that we tap into outside of the timeline, have seen certain things, right? So for example, 11 years ago, I saw Trump as president. He wasn't yet president, and we're not going to talk politics, but I saw that and I but at the same time in the weirdest way, I saw a concentration camp, and I actually saw exactly that Alligator Alley place. So I told my husband, and he's like, What are you talking about? I went, I know it's so weird. Why would I dream that? Then I dreamt this other thing. Anyway, we moved back to Canada, and of course, you know these things have happened, but what happens to all of us? And the reason I'm bringing this up is because I want people to not be so scared. Because what happens is, what do we make it mean? Right? We might have visions. I saw a bomb. I saw an explosion coming from Yemen in one of my other dreams. And I had to look up Yemen on the map because I didn't know where it was. So I also said, this is also going back 10 years ago, I said to my husband, and surprise, I said, I saw this thing. Now the act of observation often changes that which is being observed. A few couple years later, I found a book by Michael drosnin called the Bible Code, and he actually predicted this very thing that I saw in a dream, but talked about Obama being in a bunker, right? So, but he had obviously also predicted accurately these other things that happened. So here's what I want to say about all of this. Like many of us have seen these visions, do they come true the way we see it? Or are these metaphors, or the fact that we see it at all gives us an opportunity to change things? And I think that what people get afraid of is that their certainty is being you know, definitely there is a lack of certainty. We have geopolitical shifting and changing. There's power dynamics going on. And if you believe in this, and keep an open mind, because you can throw what I'm about to say in the garbage too. But I believe that there is a level of a shadow government. And I do believe that there are people from different dimensional realities. They're people, not people, but there are other hierarchical beings that are part of this whole global we're like little people down here and and because we cannot awaken without a disruption, so there's no way to to awaken anything if we go with the status quo. So we needed a disruptor. And I think that, again, personal feelings aside, if we look at a bigger picture about how this is playing out, we're really scared, because we're humans, and we see mortality and we see our way of life being threatened. And we see like the thing that we were asleep because we were so used to it. The comfort zone is nobody wants to leave it, but the only way we grow and change and better things is if there is some type of dismantling of something that was before and a rebuilding of something else. So when people say, Oh, the world is collapsing. No, it isn't. It's, you know, it's like, a, it's like, when the caterpillar becomes the butterfly, right? It's like, yeah, the caterpillar has to die inside its little cocoon. Sorry, my dog was snoring, you know, and, and it's gonna parts of it has to die. And it's off, and it feels awful. It's got the flu. It's inside some like, it's getting claustrophobic. It's like, what the hell? Where are my little friends with the leaves, right? Where is my fuzziness? And all of a sudden, there it is, like, well, I'm scared. I'm like, in the dark and whatever. And next thing you know, it's like, so claustrophobic. And then it has to push, fight its way outside of the cocoon, and kerplowy, then it's flying. We can't get to the flying part without this sickening part in between. So, yes, go ahead,

Alex Ferrari 8:08
Yeah. Well, so so that you know I, I wasn't, yeah, we're in it right now. But I look back, everyone says, like, Oh, this is the worst time it's ever been. But if you look back, but if you look back in the 60s, it was so, at least from what I've seen, I wasn't alive then. But what, from what I've seen from movies and documentaries and books and and things in news, the world seemed like it was literally on fire back in the 60s, because the 50s were so 50 ish that, you know what I mean, then there was,

Colette Baron-Reid 8:41
I do.

Alex Ferrari 8:41
And then there was so many different things that completely shake the foundation. Elvis shows up, The Beatles show up, and that's amusing. Movies show up. Then the politics of, you know, Nixon, and then the war showed up, and all of these things. So then, you know, drafts and yeah, and people Yeah. And then then the hippies show up, and everyone's love and peace. And that's when consciousness started. The New Age Movement literally started around that time. So that was, it's such a disruption. Then what happened? So we had the 60s, and then the 70s, and the 70s went down real quick.

Colette Baron-Reid 9:14
Yeah, we had the oil crisis. I love that you're talking like this. We need to remember the history.

Alex Ferrari 9:20
Right! And then there was, there was an inflation, and then things were getting out of hand. And then what happened? The 80s happened. And then the 80s was this magical money ride that we all went on. And then the 90s showed up. And the 90s basically continued that all the way into basically 2008 so we had a run of about 28 years of like going up. There was a lot of ups and downs during that time. It wasn't a magical, perfect time, but it wasn't what we have now. So we're going through something similar. The 20s seem to be an a really intense version of the 60s.

Colette Baron-Reid 9:58
You're right! Right! And I'm really glad you brought that up. I'm so happy you brought that out, because this is grounded and practical information. We have a map. We have already been we have tread many footsteps, and we have been here before, you know. And this is not new. This is the only difference now, is that the fear is because there is nuclear capacity that, in fact, that would really blow ourselves up. Here's the deal. That's not, I do not believe that that is. I don't I've never seen it. I've seen a bomb. I've seen big explosions, but I've also seen what happens after. And if you look at the astrology, I know you've had many astrologers on I know you have Deborah. It's all lining up right now, like all the things like, so we have the Civil War, right? We have that again, because it's Birthday, birthday time for the US. You've got the when the when the atom bomb hit, right? We had that. But also at the same time, it's pointing towards what happened in the 60s, where it was like peace, not war, like people were protesting. Then we also have the same configuration in the sky that that was the precursor to NATO. Now NATO is not what we're talking about, but it is, when things fall apart, we find a new way to come together, right? That's what we have to remember, that that's why I tell people what we need are protocols and and technologies and things that we can do on a daily basis, to stay grounded and not look to the outer world, to behave so that we can feel safe. Our safety and security has to come from the internal now, when you talked about all these historical things, most people are in denial, or they have they they didn't know. They forgot. Because when we're in it, and this is, this is something I'm going to say, we are being conditioned through media right now to be afraid, so that we are malleable and we are controllable. When a culture is afraid, when more people are afraid, then more people are grounded and making good decisions, then we are like lemmings, right? It's like, Oh, easy to make them do something, right? So keep in mind our sovereignty, our spiritual sovereignty, is a tantamount right now. And you know, like, if you could imagine, like, the matrix is the perfect movie to go watch. Everybody should go watch their matrix, you know? And right? It's like, what choice are we going to make? Right? And that is what's key for us right now, because we don't have any power or control at an individual level about what's actually going on on the bigger picture. We've seen that right now. We don't, but we do have the capacity to take the power that we were given as CO creators. We are incredibly, incredible co creators that when we come from a place of neutrality, and that doesn't mean sedation, right? So when I tell people about nervous system realignment, I'm not talking about sedating them or like saying, oh, let's not have any fear whatsoever. It's healthy to have some fear, healthy. But let's use the rage, the fear, all of that, which is, you know who was talked about this, Robert Monroe. I don't know if you remember. He passed away the Monroe Institute.

Alex Ferrari 13:13
Oh, yeah.

Colette Baron-Reid 13:14
Remember that? Like he talked about all these visions that he had when he did the gateway, which I've done that, right? So like, when you you know, you see all these beings, etc, and he believed that we were like The Matrix, where there anger, fear, drama, all this feeds. Like we're like a farm. Now, just keep an open mind, like you take that as a you will. Bottom line is, is that practical for the regular person watching this show to say, like, no, it's so not right. But we know the difference good enough to know when we feel the angst, the fear, when we're fixated on the news. We're allowing ourselves with algorithms to decide what we watch, what we feel, what we buy, what we see when we do that, we are in a zombie state. We're not good. We're scared all the time. We want to fight, when we're in an aligned state, when we make choices, we can actually choose something different. I don't have to expose myself to this. I can take whatever energy I have in the smallest way possible in my tiny life, and focus in the 24 hours. One of the reasons I no longer make predictions is, I think it's harmful for people, because you immediately state, get out of your Reg, your grounded state of now and go into the possibilities of blah blah land. And it's not helpful now, right now. We need how to stay grounded now, right now, so that our future does become what we want it to become. The only way is to take that energy and the focus on the now and stay out of the hole. Oh, my God, you know, look at this awful thing that could happen. Okay, what do you do when you've been told a hurricane is coming?

Colette Baron-Reid 14:59
Right? What do you do? You go get water. You go get the just in case things right, you get some extra potato juice. You know you get you prepare. And every day I prepare, I know I have hope. I have a very clear understanding of my relationship to a power greater than myself. I choose to call God, call it whatever you want, conscious universe, the quantum field. No, maybe at the end of the day, we're an alien board game. I doubt it, but who knows? You know, I'm a medium. I talk to dead people too. They seem to be there like the but the bottom line is, what is useful for us? What is our medicine right now? Our medicine isn't more fear and more reasons to be, like, freaked out, but, like, what about this? What if it's the aliens? What if it's that? What if it's a nuke? What if it's, you know what I mean, right? So the so, yes, and guess what, someone like me, I've got access to all that stuff, and I say to myself, Oh, well, what good is this going to do, knowing all of this? Like, Well, what do we do now? Right? Like the hurricane, you prep, you do what you need to do on a daily basis, like, maybe you need to be a little stronger, maybe, maybe you need to exercise your trust in a power grid, in yourself. Because, guess what, we are very resilient. Human beings are amazing. We come up with the most amazing stuff. You think for one second we're not going to come up for for an answer to dealing with AI we are this is these are great minds are looking at these things. But don't we just love drama? Don't we just love to say how horrible it all is. Oh, my God, this is happening. Oh, my God, look at that.

Alex Ferrari 16:40
I mean, well, that's why telenovellas are the most watched thing, right in South America, because it's just

Colette Baron-Reid 16:46
Entertaining.

Alex Ferrari 16:48
It's soap operas here. I mean, they're just, it's just so much drama. But as just so as a storyteller, I've studied story and story structure for a long time, and had privilege of speaking to many of the greatest storytellers and writers in the world. And there's one key thing to every story, you need conflict,

Colette Baron-Reid 17:12
Yes, yes, there's no story,

Alex Ferrari 17:16
Right! I mean, there's very, there's very, I don't think there's a story, or at least any major motion picture, or even book that without a without conflict, it gets boring very quick without Darth Vader, right? And have Star Wars without Agent Smith and the matrix itself. There is no matrix.

Colette Baron-Reid 17:39
To think also with the hero's journey that we overcome these things.

Alex Ferrari 17:44
Of course,

Colette Baron-Reid 17:45
This is the part of our humanity. We cannot erase all this. So don't try like my point is, is that it is what it is we have to live both and and let's discover who we are as our own heroes within this larger story, as opposed to defeating something that, well, we have to defeat it in ourselves. It's eyes above so below.

Alex Ferrari 18:06
I would agree with you 100% the thing is that people get caught up in trying to fix the world, which they can't, and because they can't fix the world, because, you know, it's not in our power to stop the war in Iran right now, it's just not as an individual. It's not in the power of the people fighting the war to stop the war, unless they all agree on it. There's not one person that could just, we don't have Superman that could just come in and go, Hey, that's enough. Like there isn't anything. There isn't any power like that. So we get caught up in that drama within ourselves, watching the news every night. Horrible thing to do. Don't watch the news. If something is really important, it'll get to you. Or watch it from news sources that are just telling you, hey, look, this is what's happening very you know, middle of the road, kind of way of approaching it. If you have to watch any at all, I don't watch any news, whatever I get, gets to me through either voice or maybe in a social media feed. I'm like, Oh, well, that happened today. Great. Oh, or someone tells me, dude, did you hear what happened? I'm like, Oh, sure, that's of course that happened. Like, it's insane, the stuff that is going on, like, now. But I think you're right. I think if people focus on themselves and not try to defeat something that is there. Because at the end of the day, your your hero's journey is your journey, and that is part of all of our lives. We all go through the hero's journey throughout our lives, from the moment and in multiple times, we get called the heroes, the call, call of the of the of the of the trip or the journey. You get the call. Hey, you need to

Colette Baron-Reid 19:42
Then you say no, and

Alex Ferrari 19:43
Then you say no, no, I can't do that.

Colette Baron-Reid 19:45
No, I can't do it. Oh, no, no, no, don't I'm not. I'm not leaving. I'm the Hobbit. I want my my my tea and crackers and biscuits.

Alex Ferrari 19:51
Yeah, I don't want to go to more. Yeah, of course, you have to go because something forces you or makes you go. I gotta go. You know? Like, like, Luke, his family gets burned alive. You know, he's the only family in me was like, I'm now an orphan.

Colette Baron-Reid 20:06
Love about you. I'll tell you this because I like you see the story, right? I see the story. And that's one of the things that I learned about being an intuitive because I've been doing this work now full time professionally for 38 years, is to realize this is all stories, because we're stories in motion. All of us are stories that are continuously evolving. And it's okay that right now we have so much polarization, because we need that until we get at some point, we're going to come to the middle, because that's what we have to learn at some point is I need to learn to listen to you, but it's got to get worse before it gets better. But looking at it from a narrative perspective, right? You know? And the fact that we are, we are our own heroes, our own story, right now, I believe we are in one of the most phenomenal periods of our life, most creative period in our lives, to ask ourselves really important questions. And actually we're recording this as we just head into Taurus, for example, where we're talking about we have to learn given that this whole warring scenario, War and Peace, War and Peace, peace and war, is going to be a conversation for all of us for quite some time ahead of us. So rather than try to fix that, what does it mean to me to see that, what are my values? Do they still count? Are they the same as before? Have I changed? How can I evolve my service to the world in the best way I can, and what in me looks like that? Because I will tell you per on a personal level, I've had to take a look at some of the things that come out. Where am I polarized? Where do I judge? Where am I at war internally, like, with myself or others, like, where do I all of these things that are coming up right now are mirrors of our own human journey, but we have to. We don't have to do anything. But if you're there, and I really do think that the split is also those people who want to awaken, who are really on this path, you're you're on this, you wouldn't be doing this if you weren't. Since the day I met you, you were like, on this whole thing, right? And it's like, I want to be awake and I want to tell the truth about what's really happening. Like we're all scared, all of us, me too, but I what my but my faith is greater than my fear, and not in some religious thing. I have faith that in humanity and in that power greater than me, and hopefully also I will say this is a joke, but maybe not. Maybe those aliens won't let the nukes happen anyway. So not your best interest. Who cares?

Alex Ferrari 22:41
Well, I listen. I've said this 1000 times on the show. I believe there are guardrails up for humanity. We should have blown ourselves up 1000 times over.

Colette Baron-Reid 22:50
Yeah, we did it,

Alex Ferrari 22:51
You know, and we haven't yet. The Missile Crisis was probably in the Cuban missile crisis in the 60s was probably the closest we ever got that, oh, that we know it was

Colette Baron-Reid 23:01
That we've had the atom bomb drop, so we know what, what? What that?

Alex Ferrari 23:04
Yes, and that's nothing compared to the technology we have today. But I don't believe, but I don't believe that, that it's just that, why? Then the game is over. We don't want to,

Colette Baron-Reid 23:12
Yeah, me too. I feel that way too. We're not meant to go like exactly. I feel that too. But so how do we? How do we, especially now, because people come and watch your show, and you are a resource. Let's let's be honest. You are a resource for information, for people who are frightened, who are looking for solutions. I don't have the panacea, but I know that I've developed solutions that work, oracle cards, for example, navigating this world one day at a time, finding out, okay, if I can't trust that, how can I trust what's next? So I have those. That's one of my tools that I've created for people. I'm 19 of them for people, 19 decks to pick from. I have Oracle school that's coming up in May. We moved it up because of this crisis, you know, I've got my drawings, and they are to manifesting, which helps nervous system, you know, realignment, so we find the protocols, and there's other teachers that have these available to find the thing that calls to you and use it.

Alex Ferrari 24:11
Yeah, absolutely. Have you ever seen those Kitchen Nightmare shows by

Colette Baron-Reid 24:18
Ohh my god

Alex Ferrari 24:19
Gordon Ramsey, he comes in and yells at everybody and transform everything. Yes. So I'm going to use this as an analogy for people to really grasp what's going on in my in my opinion, I believe that the world and human consciousness is a failing restaurant. We are in a rut. We're we're a failing restaurant. There's grease, there's rats,

Colette Baron-Reid 24:40
Yes,

Alex Ferrari 24:41
There is hair. The food is horrible quality. Things are happening. There are glimpses of, you know, occasionally, maybe you'll get something good, but generally speaking, we're in a rut and a bad rut. And then what's happening the family that owns this restaurant, which is humanity, we're arguing with each other constantly.

Colette Baron-Reid 24:58
Yeah,

Alex Ferrari 24:59
And we're just like, you're not doing it right. No, you're not doing it right. You're not doing right. And I'm just staying within the one restaurant. I'm not even talking about yeah restaurants. I'm just saying,

Colette Baron-Reid 25:09
Yeah, I get it right.

Alex Ferrari 25:10
Now, then all of a sudden, Gordon Ramsay shows up. Now, Gordon Ramsay is a disruptor, and he comes in and he tears everybody apart. He rips apart. He makes it worse. He makes a father. The father is about to throw throw fists at him. The mother who owns it, she's crying. The daughter is crying because she can't stand her mother because of what she's done to her father and and all of this kind of stuff. But Gordon is a catalyst that comes in and shakes everything to the court. Literally is a bull in a china shop, and he goes head on with whatever Ford I've seen, all of them, whatever force that

Colette Baron-Reid 25:51
I know, I love the show.

Alex Ferrari 25:56
So he comes in and he bat, he literally block runs, you know, hits horns with the owners, and they yell and they scream and everything. But what happens after they realize that this force, which is Gordon Ramsay, which he has failed very few times in the in the course of all of those episodes where there's just something that's unmovable, 98% 99% of all of them just go, Okay, it's over. Let's let's see. Let's start again. What does he do? He brings a team in, tears, out everything, rebuilds everything, adds new a new stove, a new kid. Walk in a new this, a new that builds everything up, gives them a new menu, gives them new direction, and goes here, you've got the system to move forward,

Colette Baron-Reid 26:46
Right!

Alex Ferrari 26:46
I'm leaving now and that. And they all like, Oh, I wish you could stay. Because, of course, who wouldn't want Gordon Ramsay to be around all the time to save his you know, in case, because he knows so much about the restaurant business and about cooking and so on. That's what we're going through right now.

Colette Baron-Reid 27:02
We don't have Gordon.

Alex Ferrari 27:03
No, no, we have something. We have, but we have a force we

Colette Baron-Reid 27:07
Yes we do

Alex Ferrari 27:08
We have, not only not we only have one Gordon. We have many Gordon's around the world, in leadership positions within corporations, within politics, within religion, within Media, who are bulls in China shops and are just destroying everything around them

Colette Baron-Reid 27:25
At the moment,

Alex Ferrari 27:26
At the moment, and not acting as with the good intentions that Gordon might be. Some of them might be egotistical, some of them be psychotic. Some of them might be power hungry, you know, in different countries around the world. But the the actions are still the actions. Crap is just being ripped apart. Things that were stable for 30 or 40 years in a restaurant are being knocked down. The Tiki hut that was in the corner because the father liked it and like, what are you doing with a tiki hut? This is a pizza restaurant,

Colette Baron-Reid 27:57
So, yeah, I'm gonna interrupt you on this story, because I think you're going in a really great direction. And one of the things, if anybody has not watched the show, one of the most successful things that happens as a result of him being the force that comes in, is that, after all the infighting, there is team building, right? People are coming together that had different opinions as before and starting from a new place, going, Okay, that didn't work, and that didn't work. Our extreme positions did not work. How do we create something new together now that there are these new, new potential systems, right? So, so what I love that you said there are there, like, let's call it two versions of Gordon Ramsay, right? So the Gordon Ramsay disruptor person is coming in, and you're right. We're like, in this restaurant that's fallen apart or whatever. But instead of one Gordon Ramsay, we do have access to one field of intelligence that when we are when we are grounded and aligned, inspiration can come to us to be those, our own version of the healer for the situation, and we come together and share new ideas. And that's what's being I feel excited about, is that that's also coming out of this disruption, we just unfortunately happen to be right in the middle of all the crowd, right where it looks really bad and it's there. And also, by the way, too, human beings, the way our brains operate, we actually believe when we're experiencing something with a heightened emotion, that that's going to be like that forever.

Alex Ferrari 29:36
Hey guys, I really hope you're enjoying this conversation. And the one thing I've noticed recently is that most of you are not subscribed to our YouTube channel. It's free, and it really helps us out a lot. So if you haven't subscribed, please subscribe, like and share this content so we can continue to help elevate the consciousness of the planet. Thank you so much, and let's get back to the conversation.

Colette Baron-Reid 29:57
I think our fear. Be there forever. But that's not true if you look back in history, just the way we started your show, and you talked about all these instances. And I was alive in the 60s. I'm much older than you, so I know it was, right. And my dad, my dad, was born in a home without running water, or before anything like he was born in 1908 right, passed away, obviously, you know, so like, there's the histories, you know, of all like we, we've never been the life of even impoverished places like, like the, if you look at the statistics of the of how people live today, there is, it is so elevated, right? Compared to what it was. We just feel the feelings, and we're back in the T rex is chasing us into the jungle, and so we're like, scared of annihilation, right? And there's enough people talking about that, so I think we just don't know. So we're trying to grab onto the thing that, because we have a negative bias built into the way we to fit for a survival so that negative bias has been turned on by so for so many of us, we can't see the unknown because the unknown is too scary. So we go to the negative instead of going, well, wow, maybe it could be something we don't know yet, because that's really the truth we don't know yet. And we do know that the shift in consciousness is already happening too, and we don't need every single person on the planet to do that, like the, you know, the imaginal cells in the butterfly. You only need a certain percentage of those cells to turn that caterpillar into the butterfly. So we don't need every person on this planet right to go there.

Alex Ferrari 31:43
You were saying that our lifestyle, I mean, like people who who make it just even just above the poverty line in many ways, yeah, have a better life than King George. You know? I mean, I mean, do you have warning hot running water? Yeah, you probably have internet. If you have a capability that you probably have a cheap phone of some sort, that you can communicate with the world like we have. We're so much, you know, so much more advanced than I heard somewhere, and I might be mistaken, but like, Einstein didn't have hot water. Like,

Colette Baron-Reid 32:20
No, I read that too.

Alex Ferrari 32:22
Einstein took cold showers, like warm, warm baths or a thing. But, right? That's been around for a while, but, but a running hot shower, that wasn't a thing when he was around.

Colette Baron-Reid 32:37
So, you know, what I think is super important is like that we learn to rehearse a different state of being, because the way in which we I want to go a little bit quantum, quantum here so, and you know, when I moved into this new level of the kind of work that I'm doing right now, around drawings, I did a lot of scientific research on how does, how do we co create reality? And what is necessary for us to see a shift in our reality external to us when we feel like we have no power over that reality, right? And I'm talking about in our personal life, right? And when we rehearse a particular state of being, we are going to see more of that in the outer world, because that is the way we're built. The reticular activating system of our brain is going to align with the quantum field and take our eyeballs and show us evidence in that field. Because everything is in the field, only the spotlight in the field is going to go and we're just going to see more reasons, especially if we're rehearsing fear and uncertainty, whatever we're going to see more reasons to feel like that. Now, when we rehearse gratitude and trust, and we make that as a commitment, even if we don't believe it right away, we rehearse a state, we rehearse that state over and over again, and what happens? Same thing happens. Brain does not differentiate between what you feed it. Your nervous system takes in whatever you give it all of a sudden, now, oh, I'm going to notice more things to be grateful for. So the more people that can find a way to purposely and consciously rehearse a different state of being. You have more power than you know, to co create a different life for yourself, first, on a smaller level, because you're going to start seeing synchronicities left, right, center and sideways that are more in alignment with the world that you say you want, as opposed to fixate like I always say, stand for something, not against something, because the more you stand against something that's more of that you're going to see, but the more you stand for something that's what you're going to start noticing, more and more of that.

Alex Ferrari 34:49
Something just popped in my head when you were saying that. Because there are, there are realities that we are living, so timelines, essentially, that you you know we're living. I. Yeah, and I'll use another analogy for this, and I'll use my my cousin for this one. We were growing up, my

Colette Baron-Reid 35:05
Love your stories

Alex Ferrari 35:06
When we were growing up, you know, we were young men, we were in our 20s, and we both did something similar. We went clubbing, because that's what you did when you're in your early 20s. You go clubbing. Now I can't even comprehend even going,

Colette Baron-Reid 35:22
Even went

Alex Ferrari 35:23
Going to one, let alone for fun. But, and if you really honest yourself, why would you go clubbing? You know, $15 waters, really, is that a thing anyway, so, but we would go to clubs, and it would be separate scenarios, so the environment was similar. Okay, they were going to different clubs. We were going to the same club, but every time he'd go, he'd get into a fight,

Colette Baron-Reid 35:49
Right!

Alex Ferrari 35:50
I've never gotten into a fight at a club,

Colette Baron-Reid 35:52
Right!

Alex Ferrari 35:52
Now, it's the same club, same reality,

Colette Baron-Reid 35:55
Yeah, but different internal reality,

Alex Ferrari 35:58
Right! So that was what was drawing to him. He kept and I turned to him one day, I go, Dude, I hate to tell you, you're the common denominator. Yeah, it's like, why is this? Why do I always get into fights? Like, it's like a magnet, like, I always get like, Dude, I go into the same club you're going into. I never get into fights. I never if I bump into someone, they're like, Oh, I'm so sorry, dude, you bump into someone, fist fly like, what's the energy? What? What do you do?

Colette Baron-Reid 36:24
That's right, he rehearsed the energy that created the reality, yes,

Alex Ferrari 36:30
And his reality. So that's a great example of how we need to approach all of this. We're all in a

Colette Baron-Reid 36:38
Big nightclub, exactly, and you can't change because here's what's true, we all walked into the same club. We're listening to the same music. We're seeing the same wildness, our our waters are the same price, and what, what? Who's going to have, what experience in the same environment? That's exactly the best analogy. Oh, my God, I've ever heard. That's so good, right? So what are we going to experience like at whatever energy and expectation that we have? Because our expectation comes from what we rehearse. So that's why I say, be very careful. And you're a perfect example of why don't watch the news, because you don't. So you don't ever think about stuff like that. You know, I sometimes do to see, what are the people that I serve? What are they being exposed to? And I'm like, Holy shit, right? It's like, wow, this is so bad, you know? Then I get a little upset. Then I tell my husband, he goes, let me remind you what happened in 1918, and 1929 and I get that, right? So I'm like, Oh yeah, yeah, right, because I teach this stuff, so I have to remember, because it's that easy for you to be taken off,

Alex Ferrari 37:40
Ooh,

Colette Baron-Reid 37:41
Off your line.

Alex Ferrari 37:42
All you got to do

Colette Baron-Reid 37:42
You can just be thrown right off into the deep Yeah, forget. All you have to do is open your phone and spend more than five minutes Doom scrolling in your spirit.

Alex Ferrari 37:50
And you

Colette Baron-Reid 37:50
Got to start again.

Alex Ferrari 37:52
Right then the algorithm just starts kicking you in like, according to the algorithm, according to what you're seeing, the world is falling apart. But that's not the case. The world isn't falling apart. There are a lot of beautiful things happening in the world right now. There's a lot of advancements in medical science, in health, in Yeah, things are changing all around. There's a lot of beautiful things. I love. My algorithm feeds me a lot of fun stories. Yeah, you know, I like, I like animal videos. I like scare

Colette Baron-Reid 38:24
Me too.

Alex Ferrari 38:26
I love, I love scare I love scare videos. When they scare people, like, I just cry laughing. I think it's, did you funniest thing?

Colette Baron-Reid 38:35
Did you see the one? Okay, did you see the one when the babysitter was there and they set up the TV to have like a poltergeist in it, and it was like, or there was, actually, was called scare TV.

Alex Ferrari 38:46
No, I saw that

Colette Baron-Reid 38:50
When the guy is asleep, and then all of a sudden he turns into a monster. And the person's, yeah, although

Alex Ferrari 38:55
I just, I love all that stuff, so I have a lot of and then I also, I also follow a lot of positive stories me too, so I'm getting fed stories of beauty and things are happening and

Colette Baron-Reid 39:07
Good news

Alex Ferrari 39:09
I just saw this morning. I just saw this morning. I think Wales is going to be the first country to remove politicians for lying. Can you they actually just passed it? So,

Colette Baron-Reid 39:25
Wow, you're out,

Alex Ferrari 39:26
If you mislead the public. Is the term

Colette Baron-Reid 39:30
Y'all need to move the Wales.

Alex Ferrari 39:31
I mean, so that's but you could see that's the shift happening, and it's happening.

Colette Baron-Reid 39:37
And did you hear also that kids are not allowed to use the internet until they're 16 or 18 in Australia, Spain, in Spain now, and a couple other countries are following suit. They're having a vote, I think Belgium. I mean, we are taking it takes a minute, you guys. Like, it's not overnight. It's not like this, where it's going to be like, I wish it was bewitched, where we are. Wiggle our nose and everything is going to be good, but we're we are not stupid, like human beings are gonna figure it out, you know? And what is but the other thing is, too, what is yours to figure out? Because another reason why we get so squirrely in the head is we think, Oh, my God, we can't fix it. No, you can't. The serenity prayer says, God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, which is my inner world, and the wisdom to know the difference. It doesn't mean not to care about the world. It doesn't mean to be sedated, you know, so that you don't fight for something you believe in. That's not it either. It's about knowing what's yours to what is yours.

Alex Ferrari 40:46
And I want to bring this concept up because I forgot where I heard it. It might have been one of the productions we were to. I've been shooting so much with too many things, but there was a concept. Actually, I do remember who said it Acharya Shunya. She's a yogi from India,

Colette Baron-Reid 41:05
Yeah.

Alex Ferrari 41:05
And she said something which was very profound, which is about anger and being angry. And a lot of people, is like, Oh, you shouldn't be angry. You shouldn't be angry. And she's like, No, there's something called Conscious anger.

Colette Baron-Reid 41:19
Yes,

Alex Ferrari 41:21
You know Gandhi. Gandhi was consciously angry. You know Jesus, when he flipped the tables over, was consciously angry. It's not about not you have to sit there and be like all is good and everything. No, it's about what are you doing with that anger? If and you want to fight for something that you believe in

Colette Baron-Reid 41:40
Yeah, and Gandhi fought for it through passivity, like he was right. So his choice, he was not, oh, I'm just going to be passive. He's like, I am for peace. I'm going to choose this because of my anger. So anger is many of us have been taught not to feel our feelings, or we've been bullied like, I think, in the past number of years. I mean, I feel for, I feel for men, for, you know, too, for having been caught up in in and being blamed for literally everything I feel. You know, the so many things have happened since the mid to, you know, teens of 2000s that have created this fear of being able to speak to anything you feel like you have to walk on eggshells all the time. And I think it's so important to know feel your feelings.

Alex Ferrari 42:31
Agreed, right? I can't agree with you more, and I laugh. I'm laughing about it because your generation is behind my generation. So I'm a Gen Xer and Gen Xers don't give a crap. We don't care. We'll say whatever we want to say. We're going to be in your face. We're going to be that because that's how we were raised by the boomers. Like that's just

Colette Baron-Reid 42:50
I'm a generation giant. I'm not a boomer.

Alex Ferrari 42:55
I know you're not,

Colette Baron-Reid 42:57
But I get it. I'm way more a Gen X and in my heart.

Alex Ferrari 43:03
It's funny. Sometimes, you know, when you when you run into someone who's in Gen X, and we, like, tell you the truth, like, we don't get our heart our feelings hurt. Like, are you kidding? Do you know how we were raised? You know, like, Are you kidding me? We and I tell people, I'm like, I was in sixth grade, and we were rolled into the we were all brought into the library, and they rolled in a television, and they're like, Hey, we're gonna watch the Challenger, a space shuttle go up, guys, this is really Fun. All right. Great. We watch online TV, the Space Shuttle explode, and the teacher that was on explode, because that was the big thing. There was a teacher all of that, and then they turn it off, and they're like, Alright, guys, back to class. There was no trauma. There was no like, and we should have had it. Don't get me wrong. We should have had someone talk to us about

Colette Baron-Reid 44:01
But it's just, but it's just different

Alex Ferrari 44:02
That's who we were, that's how we were raised, regardless of whether it was good or not. I think, listen, I think

Colette Baron-Reid 44:09
It's an evolution of a story. I get it and I get it, yeah, the conscious anger piece, which I really love, that you brought that up, because I think people need to feel their feelings like even right now, and, you know, like my friend who has a young son, right? Like, who doesn't know, like, Okay, I wrote, I gotta be honest. Like, so, I came from a family of immigrants who came after World War Two. My mom picked up body parts in World War Two, okay, like, they were tough and resilient. And I, I grew up where, if a guy did something or whatever, and you told him that, you know, you know what. I mean, it was just like, Okay, off you go. Like, nobody had sat there and was scheming or any like, at the same time, right? I mean, I also had been violated and all that stuff, and have dealt with all this stuff over the years, but I am responsible. Them. So I really believe too, that right now, there's so many overly sensitive that we we have to get a bit tougher to deal with. What's going on in the world right now is what I want to come is we work better than in any way,

Alex Ferrari 45:14
Absolutely. But don't you believe that this is creating the environment for them to become tougher?

Colette Baron-Reid 45:19
Yeah, I hope so. I mean, I really hope so. I really hope so,

Alex Ferrari 45:25
But that's but that's the case for us in our lives. I mean, we go through breakups, we go through fire, we go through that's what makes us harder, makes us stronger, makes us more resilient, give us a little bit more armor as we move during life. That's why you mean, you finally get to, you know, your 70s, your 80s, your 90s, if you're lucky enough to get to that age in good health, then, you know, you talk to some of these people, and they're like, Yeah, you know, I'll eventually talk to my grandkids. And like, you were around before the internet. And I'm like, right, yeah, I was around before the internet. You were around before Facebook. I'm like, Yeah. And you know, like, yeah, they're like, you would before self only. So I know I'm gonna have this already. I already have those conversations with my kids,

Colette Baron-Reid 46:10
Right? And I think what's really great right now too, I think we all have to remember is, and in no way, shape or form, am I suggesting that people's traumas don't mean something, or that people shouldn't be held accountable, absolutely right? I'm not saying that at all, but what I am saying and humanity as a spiritual teacher, as a person who is fascinated with what we're going through right now, is that we need a little more toughness, and I do think friction is what brings in that quality of toughness, like when I practice guitar now, it hurts right now, because I don't I lost my calluses, but now I'm getting them back again, right? So it's like, okay, it's going to hurt a little bit until you get the callus right. Because it's like, I got some resilience going on. We all have to know that in order for us to progress into this new world order that is here. It's already being made in front of us, right? We need a lot more resilience, a bigger sense of humor. I'm sorry, but we do. We need a big sense of humor right now. We can't take ourselves so seriously and recognizing that things are changing so rapidly. We just got to do the best we can and be kind. Be kind.

Alex Ferrari 47:20
I mean, I think we need Don Rickles back. I think Don Rickles and Robin Williams. I think we need both of Oh, my instantly.

Colette Baron-Reid 47:29
Oh my god, you remind No, you're not, you're not mean. Don Rickles was mean.

Alex Ferrari 47:33
No, no, no, he was not mean. The same. That's the thing about Don Rickles, is this. He was mean, but with love. Everyone wanted Don to Yeah, that's true. Everyone loved it and laughed. He was never

Colette Baron-Reid 47:47
Used to watch him with my parents Don Rickles,

Alex Ferrari 47:51
I just love Don because he was just tear people apart, but with absolute love, and people just loved it. He was this weird, wonderful person

Colette Baron-Reid 48:01
Was he?

Alex Ferrari 48:01
He could get away with, like, like, talking to Ronald Reagan at an inaugural ball and just ripping into him in this beautiful way that everybody is just pissing themselves, and

Colette Baron-Reid 48:14
Actually, you're right, his meanness was, was actually it wasn't more so social commentary. Now, what? Who's that person who passed away that used to make all of that stuff in the 60s and 70s? Oh, my God. He was like an icon. It was a comedian,

Alex Ferrari 48:32
Bob Newhart.

Colette Baron-Reid 48:33
No, no, he was, he was adorable. I loved Bob Newhart. No, he was rough around the edges. And he was kind of like, oh, you know what? Never mind. This is important, but we're going to be on memory lane here. But why is this important to people watching the show? Okay, so. So what we're trying to say is this, is this? We need a way in which we can see the world a little more humor, recognizing that none of us has a roadmap for what's ahead. We have to make a new one. We're doing it together. Do something together. Be in that greasy kitchen, right? And and once we're done screaming and yelling and we want to put in a new stove, we have to go get a new stove. We have to get new then we all got to get get along.

Alex Ferrari 49:15
Yeah, we got to train to staff. We got to staff, we got to we got to train the chef on the new menu, and we got to change the new systems that we put it's all exactly what it is,

Colette Baron-Reid 49:25
And it's okay. And that's the thing too. Like, I think, I think it's really okay. We're going through some severe Growing Pains right now, you know? And, yeah, it's just so fascinating, because all the things that all of us have read, all of us remote viewers, all of us intuitives and mediums, we all see the same thing the way we interpret those things. That's subject to this, the you know, whoever's seeing it. I don't know. Maybe there's a quality I'm not a Pollyanna, but I believe I have so much hope. For humanity. I really believe in us, and I believe in the power greater than and I also believe in those guardrails that you talked about. I know that. I've seen it since I was a kid. I've I know it. I know that something is there, and we are here to learn some very painful lessons here on Project Earth, right? You know, the school room, but we also have some fun. We also have to like where, right? We do, no matter what, there's joy can coexist with this crazy. The chaos is not going to go away, so let's not wait. Let's find a way now.

Alex Ferrari 50:35
I have to remind people, I mean, I grew up during the Cold War in the 80s, right, yeah. So in the 80s the, I mean, the 70s was the Cold War, but the 80s is kind of like the height of the Cold War, um, and, you know, people forget that, you know we were, I mean, every morning you would wake up be like, are the Russians gonna send I mean, then you've got, What's that movie of, God,

Colette Baron-Reid 51:03
Russians are coming? Was,

Alex Ferrari 51:05
There was the Russians are coming with Patrick Swayze,

Colette Baron-Reid 51:11
Yeah,

Alex Ferrari 51:12
The Russians fall in. A guy, can't believe, I can't remember. It'll come to me. But all of those kind of things, oh yeah, hunt for an October and the day after. I remember, if you remember the date the movie, the week the day after,

Colette Baron-Reid 51:28
Get out of me,

Alex Ferrari 51:29
Right?

Colette Baron-Reid 51:29
The British one was even worse. There was a British version

Alex Ferrari 51:34
About the bomb actually going on, yeah, absolutely going off, and what would happen, and all this stuff. I remember in first or second grade, that that was like. So I was when I said earlier that the 80s and the 90s were a good run. There were for a lot of things, but we were still living in this kind of insanity. So I use that as, again, as an analogy that we are going we've always been going through something.

Colette Baron-Reid 51:55
Yeah,

Alex Ferrari 51:55
The Romans, the Romans were going through something, that the Egyptians were going through something.

Colette Baron-Reid 52:00
And you know what? We also take turns as to who the leaders are. Like, I'm going to tell you China. You say whatever you want, China is rising up. And this is like Nostradamus, the yellow man, will rule the world, right? I mean, there's like British, the Brits, the Portuguese were the first ones, and the Spaniards then the British. Or like the French, the Dutch, you know, the Americans like but nobody's civilization disappeared completely. I mean, they did years and years ago.

Alex Ferrari 52:29
Even, even Rome is still around

Colette Baron-Reid 52:31
And it still stayed up like it just, you know what? I mean, it fell and got back up again, like so well,

Alex Ferrari 52:36
It became the Vatican. But that's a whole other conversation.

Colette Baron-Reid 52:40
But, you know? So I think that we, if we could just remember that we are a continuum, that we are constant changing creature, that humanity is always going to experience. What's good for us to have some friction? Is it this is and maybe it's good that we're right, you know, but it is what it is. It is what it is. So what do we want to choose?

Alex Ferrari 53:06
So then, so, so then let me ask you some questions in regards to what's happening now, and if you can give us any insight so people can feel a little bit more just general ideas. So obviously, the Iran war is escalating, then it, yeah, because it comes, it kind of come.

Colette Baron-Reid 53:24
Proud people. I saw me, I saw you this.

Alex Ferrari 53:28
I saw I saw a meme this morning with Bill Murray in Groundhog's Day, and it's just him going well, the streets of her most are now closed again. It's just like this, like, you know, all been closed, all that kind of thing. Then you got North Korea doing whatever they're, they want, hey, we want to be in the show too. So they're, they're doing their thing. And then Russia still at war with the Ukraine and China, say,

Colette Baron-Reid 53:55
There are wars that, you know, it's an interesting thing. You know, we are not paying attention, because right now it's America's in the middle of that. But if you really want to do some of your own research, you want to see how many wars are going on right now, absolute genocide and all over the world. So it's going on in so many other countries, besides the ones that you named, or because those are the ones that are most impact, you know, people in North America, but there are so many others, which one you want to pick, to look at. So the bottom line is this, that human beings can be evil and cruel. We have the capacity human beings did those things. Nobody made us all right, like power, greed, all of those kind of things come up for people, poverty, famine, all of these things are going on in the world and have since the beginning of time, right? So in our whoever's watching this, we, if you're watching this show, you have some privilege not as a bad word, not to punish you with the word P, the P word. But it's the fact is that you're likely pretty safe right now, and you can contribute something to the world, but this is going on and then so many places. And if, if we have the privilege and the opportunity to do something where we are locally, like go think globally, act locally, right? Do something small, even if all you have to serve today is to be kind to somebody in the line at Starbucks, it looks freaked out. You know what I'm saying? Like, use the life force energy that you have, because this is not getting any better on overnight. And I know you want me to give you a prediction. Oh, it's going to be gone the next two weeks. No, it's not.

Alex Ferrari 55:39
No, no,

Colette Baron-Reid 55:39
I don't think it will be. It'll look like it is. But then you are dealing with a very old, old, proud culture that, yes, I get it. They're like, I look at them and go, What kind of life do these people have? They have no rights. They have no this. I take for granted my North American rights. I take for granted that as a woman, I can say what I want wear, what I want dye my hair the way I want, not have to wear a thing all of that, right? Like I that I forget that we're very fortunate, right? So, and there's lots of places on the earth that's not but that particular culture cannot be humiliated. And I think that that's a big thing on an energetic level, once there's some type of coming together, then things will calm down. But none of that's over, that's been and in the Middle East, they have been going to this story. We have no clue the detail of their their narrative for so long. And you know, you should have these two on your show. There's a they've just written a book called Peace Palestinian and an Israeli who lost family during this they knew each other in the tourism business, and they go around and they they talk, and they bring the stories to these communities to say, like, the only way that we can coexist, we've been coexisting on this land, but we all coexist on the planet, so wherever you are, what you can contribute, does make a difference. It really does. So no, I don't see this ending nicely with the ball on it at all. I think we're going to be going through these growing pains for at least another couple of years. And yeah, and it's going to impact our economies. It's going to impact but we will get through this. And I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. And listen, a lot of people are going to get very wealthy right now too, like we're seeing that taking advantage of like we're seeing the underbelly of everything. Let's just be honest. Let's anything dark that could possibly come up. The boil has popped. Let's just say, all right.

Alex Ferrari 57:45
I mean, yeah, we're

Colette Baron-Reid 57:46
Gonna see some more. But you don't have to have that in your life, and that's the truth. You need to have take, take a pair of balls and just say, I'm going to choose my life right now, because I can't do anything about all that.

Alex Ferrari 57:59
And I'll tell you, I mean, a lot of people, you know, you and I are both old enough to remember that when the internet showed up, a lot of people were terrified.

Colette Baron-Reid 58:07
They thought it was demonic. Some people, some people were afraid to use it

Alex Ferrari 58:12
Right, because they were afraid. Remember the day that they were people were afraid to put their credit card online? You know, remember those days that people were terrified of that. People were terrified. Oh, my God, I'm leaning towards that.

Colette Baron-Reid 58:25
Yeah,

Alex Ferrari 58:26
That's where I'm leading. So then with with the internet again, people were scared it was going to take away jobs. And it did. It did all of that. Internet revolutionized humanity and connected us in a way that I don't think has been done on the on the planet before, in all of his iterations and all of its civilizations over the course of 10s of 1000s and 1000s. I don't think it's done like that AI. Now I'm not afraid of AI, and I've seen terminated, and that's terminated to 1000 times. Yeah, I still am not scared of AI. Because

Colette Baron-Reid 58:59
Can I say this too. I'm really glad you brought that up because fear of AI. Here's what I don't like about AI. One of the I read, I put up a sub stack. I only wrote two things in there, and then every freaking thing I read sounds like an AI. Wrote it. So I hate lazy writers. I'll just say that I can't stand it when I read that, and I can see you didn't write that, right? So I don't like that. I also, I'm a musician. I'm in the middle of recording, the first time in 25 years, I'm recording an album with, like, the most amazing people. I'm working with such great and we don't use now, there's a little bit of AI because Logic Pro and, right? That's, that's, it's a computer program

Alex Ferrari 59:41
As a tool. It's a tool.

Colette Baron-Reid 59:42
It's a tool. Pro, tools and Logic Pro. They are tools. But I am singing myself. I do not want to go machine. I know the difference between AI music and music that comes from genuine pain of a human. So that's the other thing. Do not. Mistake AI as a spiritual thing. I find when people are saying, oh my god, it knows me. Yeah, it's, it's, it's programmed to know you. It's programmed to guess too. It watches. It's a pattern recognizer. So people are saying, oh my god, there's going to be an AI. God. I'm like, Okay, well, bye, because I'm like, AI is an excellent tool. It is a machine. It is always going to be a machine. And the thing is, the only thing I am a bit worried about is that it has no conscience, and a human being like in in warfare, for example, you know, you've got aI warfare, it doesn't care that it's killed people. It impacts us when we take a life, it it does something to a person, does something to people work. There has to be some consequence. So am I a little bit nervous about that? Yeah, but I also believe that we're going to figure out a solution, because I know that people don't really want that, and if it happens once, and we see consequences that are horrific. We're not going to allow that to happen again. So hopefully it doesn't go that far. But AI is here to stay. We have to work with it. And if you're not working with it right now, you are going to be sorry later, or in some way.

Alex Ferrari 1:01:14
Yeah, I mean, I can't even imagine, like, trying to come up in the bit like, I'll use another example is the film industry. Right now, where I got from, the film industry has completely been it's been rocked to its core. It doesn't know what to do. It is flailing in many ways, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah, exactly. But it's flailing in many ways. Everyone's trying to figure what the hell's happening. What's going on. What do we do? How do we do this? Everyone, everything. And I mean, now I just saw a new workflow with AI that incorporates human beings in a much higher level. And it's not just like typing in a prompt. I'm like, make me avatar, make me Star Wars. Like, that's not going to do that, but it's a tool. Like, it's like, like, looking at a hammer and go build me a house that's not, no, it's not capable of that. So,

Colette Baron-Reid 1:02:07
Which I love. I love that you said that too, because I want us to not be scared, like to recognize how it can help. How can it really help, right? You know, like, how can it it's

Alex Ferrari 1:02:16
Going to cure cancer.

Colette Baron-Reid 1:02:18
Yeah, I believe it will too.

Alex Ferrari 1:02:19
It will cure it will cure cancer. Why? Because it's going to be able to ingest billions of pieces of data and information and reports and research, and it will process data at a level that we cannot comprehend, and because it's going to see everything, then it can go, Well, wait a minute, you haven't tried this, this, this, this, and this,

Colette Baron-Reid 1:02:42
Yeah,

Alex Ferrari 1:02:43
That's what it's amazing at. It is amazing at data processing and grabbing information and synthesizing large amounts of information, things that human beings will take literally centuries. So that is what it's really good,

Colette Baron-Reid 1:03:00
I agree,

Alex Ferrari 1:03:01
And that's what's going to help us to do,

Colette Baron-Reid 1:03:04
Yeah, but I do think there's, I believe there should be a healthy there should be healthy skepticism and health a little bit of healthy fear, because I think in this case, like, you know, like, what does it mean, but being paranoid about it, like it's not going anywhere, but it's also Not going to here's the other thing, because it uses so much energy, like so that's the other thing. Like, AI cannot exist and cannot grow without, without data centers, right? Because so in order to get and it needs to also be profitable. And right now it's not right. So people are so worried that it's going to hit general intelligence be smart, and that's actually pretty cool, if any of it does. But at the same point, it's the it's going to happen fast, but slower, because it needs energy and data. We don't have enough data centers to feed it at the moment, right at the moment, it'll come but I think people think overnight, by tomorrow, all the jobs will be gone. That's not how it's going to go. We're going to have plenty of warning,

Alex Ferrari 1:04:07
Right! Look, just because, because operators, you remember the old operators from the 20s that you know, that totally like, would plug in cables to connect

Colette Baron-Reid 1:04:17
Party to who I'm speaking,

Alex Ferrari 1:04:19
Yeah, all of that. But that was a career that was

Colette Baron-Reid 1:04:23
Yeah,

Alex Ferrari 1:04:24
And that was gone. I

Colette Baron-Reid 1:04:26
Had it.

Alex Ferrari 1:04:27
I mean, oh god, she was great, yeah, and, but yeah, like the guy who made the little switch to hit the horse, for the horse to go on the horse and carriage. That was an industry overnight.

Colette Baron-Reid 1:04:41
You know what's really interesting. So my my brother in law, is a master carpenter. But when I say master carpenter, this guy can make but you feel his years of experience, how he how he works with the wood, how he does what he does with it. And, you know, like we sense energy, right? So the commitment to the now, is there shortcuts to do certain things? Sure, but, but the person part of it, right? We feel that. We feel that. We feel that with antiquities, right? When we look at, you know, some of those knob and my parents had they lived because they lost all their money, but they lived off the sale of all their antiques. And we had stuff that didn't even have nails in, you know, from the from the 15th century that were like, wow, that's how people built things back.

Alex Ferrari 1:05:32
Oh, Japanese, yeah, the Japanese, right? They've no nails in their buildings,

Colette Baron-Reid 1:05:37
Right! They

Alex Ferrari 1:05:38
All a system like this, but it's so precise and such. It's a craft apps. It's amazing.

Colette Baron-Reid 1:05:44
But, you know, it's like, I would like, I want to stay curious. I think that's the other thing. I think humanity superpower right now is our curiosity. If we could remain curious, the only way we can stay curious is to do whatever it takes to manage our nervous system so that we're not constantly in a fight, flight, freeze, Bond, attached. We're not going to stay there and do the best that we can, and there's a million ways to do it right, but find a way to stay as grounded as you can and stay curious and trust that one of the things we know what's happening. We're not stupid. We can see when we're being manipulated and whatever, but they're but, you know, we also, like you said, whales, like, look at Wales, like, we can make changes. We actually can do it right. We can implement changes just right. Now, it looks like the world is going to shit, and it's not.

Alex Ferrari 1:06:35
But, you know,

Colette Baron-Reid 1:06:36
And that's before,

Alex Ferrari 1:06:38
And speaking of Robin Williams, the great late, oh, Robin Williams. Robin Williams, he said that. I'm not sure if he, he got it from somewhere else, but I heard it from him. He's like, politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often.

Colette Baron-Reid 1:06:56
No, I get it and, you know, I get it and, also, like, you know, when you look again, because you've had astrologers on, if you look at what's going on in the stars, it's all about power and control, but eventually Power to the people. Because we are looking also at, you know, Pluto and Aquarius is we the underbelly is concentrated power over and also all these dubious lies, etc, but it all gets uncovered and there eventually the pendulum swings. Yeah, right. So what we're seeing, we're all aghast, oh, my God. Then we're looking to blame other people. We're all in, you know, caught up in this. But if we learn to be a little bit more observant, just step back a little bit, just a little bit, try not to take the world personally. That's easy to say. I'm a cancer. So are you? We're sensitive. Little franchisee,

Alex Ferrari 1:07:48
Very much so

Colette Baron-Reid 1:07:50
Ty one day at a time. You can only live one day at a time. Anyway, we can't. I don't. I don't care how many timelines you visit.

Alex Ferrari 1:07:56
So Colette, tell me, where can people find out more about you and the amazing work you're doing?

Colette Baron-Reid 1:08:00

Alex Ferrari 1:08:30
And of course, your amazing show, the motorcycle medium, is on Next Level Soul TV as well,

Colette Baron-Reid 1:08:36
Which I gave to this beautiful man exclusively. It's the only place you can actually see what I did.

Alex Ferrari 1:08:42
I appreciate that. So so much,

Colette Baron-Reid 1:08:45
Thank you so much for having me.

Alex Ferrari 1:08:47
And one last question, if someone is feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world right now, what is the one shift that you would invite them to make immediately?

Colette Baron-Reid 1:08:57
Oh, honestly, I'm going to tell you something really quick that they can do like it, because I feel overwhelmed. Sometimes there's a thing just hug hugging yourself, hugging yourself and humming at the same time. It's amazing. And the other thing is to do bigger eights. If you feel super overwhelmed, stop what you're doing and just do this until you yawn, and then you won't be overwhelmed anymore. These are like little weird techniques that you can pick up. Go to Donna Edens. I don't know if you've had her on your show. You should, you know, energy medicine, that's where you can learn all these things. Just find a technique that works you. Because I've been I'm not going to give you anything. If you're in overwhelm, you're in overwhelm, right? So how do we get out of overwhelm? It's not some false, hopeful statement. It's knowing that you are exactly where you're meant to be. You would have chosen to incarnate. You're here right now, but you don't have to feel like this. You can feel a little bit more relaxed by doing these little protocols.

Alex Ferrari 1:09:54
Well, Colette, it is always a pleasure talking to you. I look forward to our next conversation. Maybe we can get you. Maybe we can get you down to Next Level Soul Studios, so we can do this in person.

Colette Baron-Reid 1:10:04
In person, I would love that. Thank you so much, Alex. Love you so much.
