Hello, my name is Ernest and this is

0:09

Advanced Perception where a very

0:12

lifeexperienced old guy like me offers

0:15

unconventional advice on a variety of

0:17

life situations and troubles. Now, let's

0:21

jump into this.

0:24

I want to fill you in on something that

0:26

actually very few people know about

0:31

and that is the fact that many of your

0:36

life issues or problems

0:39

are compounded by one simple problem.

0:43

You're not listening.

0:46

Now

0:48

lots of people have lots of information

0:52

especially here on you know places like

0:55

YouTube or podcast.

0:58

Many of them claim that uh in one way or

1:02

the other they have the answer. They may

1:06

in fact claim that they have the answers

1:10

to your problems.

1:13

But the problem with that is it's

1:15

ridiculous from the very beginning

1:18

because really, how in the hell can they

1:20

have answers to your problems when your

1:24

problems are unique?

1:26

Now, I'm claiming that I do have answers

1:30

to your problems, but what says this

1:34

apart is that I want to talk about your

1:38

problems specifically.

1:40

Now, in order for that to happen, you

1:45

have to actually be listening.

1:49

And overall, by and large,

1:52

um there's no communication between us

1:56

because the questions are not being

1:59

asked. The questions I'm saying coming

2:02

from you are not being asked.

2:05

And they're not being asked for this

2:07

simple reason. You're too damn

2:10

distracted.

2:12

And you can't get the information if

2:16

you're constantly distracted.

2:19

And I probably don't need to tell you

2:22

what those distractions are, but I'm

2:26

going to do that anyway. I'm talking

2:28

about the million distractions that you

2:30

have. And the vast majority of them come

2:35

from the so-called smartphones.

2:39

I'm talking about constantly being

2:42

besieged by just endless dril.

2:46

Anything whatsoever, anything that could

2:49

be thought of to keep you distracted.

2:53

So the people such as myself that really

2:57

want to help you, even if I had the best

3:03

information in the world, it's not going

3:06

to get through at all if uh you're not

3:10

listening.

3:12

So it's a a big circle. It's the dog

3:16

chasing its tail kind of scenario.

3:19

Now, if you want to have those issues in

3:25

your life addressed,

3:27

you're going to have to do that

3:28

yourself.

3:30

But you will also need proper

3:34

information to do that. And once again,

3:38

if you want that kind of information,

3:42

you're going to get it by listening and

3:46

asking questions.

3:48

And I'm really surprised a lot of times

3:52

that I've given people I mean even on a

3:55

personal level I've given them a world

3:58

of information

4:00

and I get the deer in the headlights

4:03

look and they say, "Uh-huh. Okay." And

4:08

then I run into them, I don't know, a

4:11

few weeks or a month or so later, and I

4:14

bring up what the, you know, what they

4:16

were talking about, what the issue was

4:18

in their life, and I said, "Well, did

4:20

you do you try as I said this, this,

4:24

that, and the other?" Oh, no, no, no. I

4:26

I haven't gotten around to it. I'm too

4:27

busy.

4:31

So, there you have it.

4:33

It always goes full circle that the best

4:37

message in the world, and I don't care

4:40

what it is, the best message in the

4:42

world does nothing if it falls on death

4:47

ears.

4:50

So, what do we do about that? Well, if

4:52

you're me,

4:54

uh, you do what I'm doing right now. you

4:57

uh try to bring you know people into a

5:01

state of awareness about this and part

5:05

of that is to let them know that you do

5:08

have something which is actively meant

5:13

it is purposely designed and actually

5:16

meant to constantly distract you.

5:21

if you would set aside I don't know 10

5:25

minutes what whatever the length of this

5:29

particular episode is and if you do that

5:33

it might break that uh uh that

5:37

distraction wave as I call it and uh you

5:42

might say hm wow that sounds really

5:45

interesting maybe I should uh maybe I

5:48

should check into this or I mean It's

5:51

not costing you anything. In other

5:53

words, you have nothing to lose. Uh the

5:56

only thing you do have to lose is if

6:01

you're not listening.

6:05

Listening is something that is very

6:09

important, but it all depends on, you

6:13

know, what you're listening to.

6:16

And if you want to spend your time

6:18

constantly listening to things which

6:22

ultimately don't really have a damn bit

6:26

of usage in your life or anyone's life,

6:29

a bigger picture, let's say. If it

6:32

doesn't, you know, even remotely attempt

6:37

to answer the problems of the bigger

6:40

picture, let's say, then it's time

6:43

wasted.

6:45

Then when you total all of this up,

6:49

whether it be over the, you know, course

6:51

of a few weeks or a few months or hell,

6:56

even a few years, and you look back on

6:59

all this and not really a damn thing has

7:02

changed. Well, it hasn't changed because

7:07

you weren't listening. And apparently

7:09

for that reason you don't exactly get

7:13

how important the message is. So as a

7:16

consequence you don't act. So as a

7:19

consequence of that nothing really

7:22

changes.

7:23

So again we're constantly in a loop. Now

7:27

remember as I said this is by design.

7:32

It's not by accident. It is out of

7:36

design.

7:38

One of the main reasons for this that

7:40

the controlling interest in this country

7:44

and society as a whole is that and they

7:48

found this out for instance it's the yes

7:50

it's the old thing of you know going

7:53

back to the time of Rome and bread and

7:56

circuses

7:58

is that if you keep the masses of people

8:00

occupied enough just it doesn't matter

8:03

what it is just anything doesn't matter

8:06

you could any you know uh ads

8:09

information anything you know mother in

8:12

Kolkata has baby with six heads and then

8:15

you know make a 45minute docky series

8:18

out of that you know that kind of

8:20

nonsense um the point is is to keep them

8:23

distracted and entertained

8:27

now I don't necessarily per se have a

8:31

problem with entertainment

8:34

but when everything is And I mean

8:37

everything, including what's supposed to

8:39

be important in life, is based on

8:43

entertainment.

8:45

Yeah. Yeah. I I have a I have a problem

8:48

with that because like I said, you end

8:51

up wasting away your entire life and you

8:55

haven't really gotten anywhere.

8:57

So with this just this very message all

9:01

I'm all I'm really trying to put across

9:03

here is that I want to give on my end I

9:08

like to give the most useful practical

9:12

good advice that I can

9:15

but if no one's reacting

9:18

you're either not hearing my voice or

9:21

again you're too damn distracted.

9:24

Now I, you know, I go on YouTube

9:28

regularly and I check same thing with my

9:32

podcast

9:33

and I check the audio is just fine. So

9:37

because of that, the only other thing

9:39

that's left is that apparently again no

9:44

one's listening. So

9:47

um what does one say? I mean, what do

9:51

what do you what do you what do you say

9:53

about this? Um, well, you say you have a

9:56

society that is so busy surviving, you

10:02

know, work and all the other things that

10:04

that entails, you know, culture, hustle,

10:08

hustle, culture and everything else.

10:11

They are they are simply so distracted

10:14

that I suppose they feel as though that

10:18

if they dedicated just a whopping 10

10:21

minutes to actually put distractions

10:24

away and actually focus that somehow

10:27

it's I don't know they're they're going

10:29

to lose something when actually um it's

10:35

it's entirely the reverse.

10:38

Um it's been my observation that this

10:42

society is um has lost its ability to

10:47

basically communicate

10:49

except on again the simplest most

10:52

superficial level like uh I don't know

10:55

when they go out and order a combo meal

10:59

or um you know celebrity gossip or

11:02

anything else that is just totally

11:06

superficial and actually when it boils

11:09

right down to it has really nothing good

11:12

or productive to offer to their lives.

11:17

So I just wanted to take this

11:19

opportunity

11:21

um to put this out here and uh hopefully

11:25

to get your thoughts and um thoughts

11:29

about anything. But the important part

11:32

is just to put this out here to see how

11:36

many of you

11:39

uh my subscribers or what have you out

11:41

there

11:43

um are actually listening and um you

11:47

know want to give me a comment or a

11:49

thought or anything that's on your mind.

11:53

I mean, after all, you wouldn't go to a

11:56

tavern or a pub or some other kind of

11:59

local watering hole where you're

12:01

supposed to do something called

12:04

socializing with other people and

12:06

immediately sit there and pop out your

12:09

smartphone and start paging through that

12:13

and absolutely ignoring all the other

12:15

people around you. Would you?

12:19

Would you?

12:22

I hope you found this helpful or

12:24

interesting. And if you have any

12:26

questions about this or any of my other

12:28

episodes, you can reach out to me via my

12:31

contact link in the description below.

12:34

And if you really want to give me a

12:35

compliment besides hitting that

12:38

subscribe button, telling a friend about

12:40

the show would be the best compliment

12:43

you could ever give me. Until next time,

12:46

this is Ernest and that's all I've got

12:49

for today.
