Time Text
Have you ever asked yourself where your taxes go?
What your hard-earned money is actually being spent on, because it isn't public services.
They're all but gone.
Good luck finding a public toilet the day after you've had a dodgy curry and a few beers, because you'll need to be able to undo a padlock, as well as your trousers.
The roads in this country are like Dresden in 1945, so where's your road tax going?
Where's your TV license fee going?
Because it feels like they're only creating shows focused on how rubbish and bigoted you and your ancestors are.
So where's any of our money going?
Well...
He's going to Zelensky, of course, so he can spend it on tracksuits, casino chips and luxury houses.
He's going on weapons to Ukraine that miraculously find their way into the hands of terrorist organisations like Boko Haram in West Africa.
He's going to pay for hotels and mobile phones for people being smuggled into the country intentionally to completely destabilise the place and take away any semblance of the cultural past and community cohesion, not to mention create even more strain on the public services.
That aren't being funded.
And by the way, you can apply this to almost every Western nation.
It's going on equality officers that claim the country needs to fix its racism and discrimination problem while judging and therefore discriminating against people entirely on the basis of their race or gender.
All 200 of them.
Although it's only the original two genders being judged.
It's going on local councils paying weird lads in stockings to read twisted gender ideology books to kids in libraries.
That's the few libraries that haven't been shut down, of course.
It's gone on injectables that definitely haven't killed and maimed thousands.
So how dare you even suggest such a thing, you anti-vaxxer?
It's going to the NHS so you can't get a doctor's appointment until after your funeral.
It's going to pay tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of pounds in expenses to MPs who are already paid an average of £86,000 of your money per year to work for corporations, globalists and lobbyists to the detriment of you, the person that pays their inflated wages.
And sometimes super injunction fees.
It's going in billions of pounds of aid to India, a country that overtook the UK in terms of its economy two years ago.
Oh well, here you go.
Buy yourself something nice.
So why are we standing for it?
This country, and pretty much every other country to be fair, is run by a mafia.
They metaphorically and sometimes literally knock on your door and empty your wallet so that you don't get punished for not handing over the money.
But you're not getting anything out of it.
You're just paying the crooks not to smash up you and your house.
So what's the difference between a government that takes your money under threat of punishment and a gang of lads in balaclavas doing it?
It's a racket and we're allowing it to happen.
This is the United Kingdom.
It's considered to be, by those that don't know any better, the mother of democracy.
A nation whose head of state King's Charles is, well he's, oh he's unelected.
Whose Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is, um, yeah he's unelected as well isn't he, yeah.
And whose First Minister of Scotland Hamza Yousaf is...
He's unelected.
If the UK ever was the mother of democracy, it went to see Dr. Harold Shipman for a routine appointment a long, long time ago.
So let's sever with the pretense.
We are no better than the nations we label dictatorships.
And before you come at me with the, we've got a general election in 12 weeks as evidence of democracy, a chance to vote between a World Economic Forum fluffer and a World Economic Forum fluffer is not democracy.
It's not.
I'm sorry.
How do we create the life we want?
I mean, it's hard enough making ends meet, let alone chasing your dreams in a world that seemingly wants to crush them at every turn.
Our next guests are New York Times bestselling author James Arthur Ray and his wife, intuitive healer Bersabe Ray.
They believe they've cracked the formula and through their organization, Harmonic Wealth Global, can help others to achieve their life goals.
James Bersabe, welcome to the show.
James, first of all, you talk about Transforming your current thoughts, beliefs and assumptions in order to open yourself up to achieving your goals.
In my experience, thoughts and assumptions are generally changed by an event, and rarely a nice one.
Is that something that happened to yourself?
Absolutely, Gareth, and thanks for having us.
You know, I'll be brief here, but anyone who knows the history of my life, I went through an incredible accident in 2009.
My team, my company and I were conducting a deep dive event in Sedona, Arizona, and at the end of that five days, five people who became my friends throughout the week actually lost their lives.
Unfortunately, We don't know to this day why that occurred, because frankly, and this is all public knowledge, the DA and the state of Arizona didn't follow up on the forensic evidence.
And if you're ahead of me, Gareth, given that there was a DA and a detective and forensic evidence, three people lost their lives.
in that lodge and the evidence came out in trial that it was actually pesticides, organophosphates,
and yet they charged me with manslaughter.
And I could go on and I don't know what our time limit is here today so I'll be as brief
as possible, but they brought, they came at me with both barrels loaded.
And they told me they would if I didn't take a plea deal.
And I refused to take a plea deal because manslaughter is intentional harm.
And it was a lie.
And anyone who was a thinking individual knew it was a horrible accident.
It broke my heart.
And so, coming through that, I learned a lot about myself, about my country, about my so-called freedoms, about my liberty, about my government, about my legal system.
And it really woke me up to begin to see things clearly and to let go of the assumptions that you mentioned
and the perceptions that we create our reality with and to start to think more clearly and think independently.
Anyone I've ever spoke to who had kind of got to that position where they'd done away
with their old belief system had a story, not obviously similar to yourself,
but they had a story of something went through a hardship.
I find that every time.
Bersabe, was this a similar experience for yourself?
I mean, you fled Iran for the US and that must have been quite nerve-wracking.
Yeah, we actually left when Iran was at war with Iraq and it was right when the so-called revolution took place and the Islamic Republic took over.
So we had to pay someone to smuggle us out of the country and I'll be really short about this.
So when coming to the States, so I was kind of used to before what happened in 2020, it was kind of a shock I guess for everyone.
But for me, it was kind of like, well, yeah, the government is not your friend.
They're not for you.
They're not for the people.
So it was much easier for me to swallow something like that and see that it was, you know, it's how they program you.
And interestingly enough, the revolution that took place in Iran was funded by Soros.
Now, I don't know how far you want me to go into that.
If it's got his fingerprints on it, it's never good news.
I know that much.
Right.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
And there is a lot of things that went on there when they broke out in the streets.
My father ended up, they came and took my father, the military, threw him in prison.
But my mother went to go visit him.
She was raped by the guards there.
And this was something that went on.
It was totally normal because it was, if you're not Muslim, you know, forget it.
The Jewish people, the Christian people, I grew up in a Baha'i background, all had a hard time.
You're thrown in prison, you can't own a business there, you can't go to school there, and the women forget it.
So if I may just interject, you know, on the tail end of our stories, which has brought us together, frankly, and helped her support me in my comeback since 2013, is that pain is the mother of all growth.
Now that's not popular, but just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not true.
We grow the most in the crucible of challenge.
We grow the most, we learn the most, we become the most.
And so, consequently, right now, Garrett, you, like me, know that we're in challenging times, but challenging times build strength.
Comfortable times build weakness.
I think we have a great opportunity right now in our world today to wake up and to really start to see things clearly.
I understand we can manifest the world around us through positive thoughts and stuff like that, but obviously that's not easy.
During a time of hardship.
So is it a case of sometimes, and I do this all the time, to try and find that silver lining?
It's almost like take COVID for instance and all that happened with the lockdowns and the vaccine, the fake vaccine, all the stuff that was pushed on people.
It's like that was horrendous.
But look how many people woke up as a result of it.
Look at how many people built friendships and groups and social circles and stuff like that as a result.
Is that basically how we can manifest good times is essentially by taking those little nuggets of gold in the hard times?
Absolutely.
You know, what we've been conditioned to believe by the personal development and spiritual so-called traditional spiritual movements, is you have to be positive the whole time.
Yeah.
Well, I think that's an illusion.
You know, true positivity is not expecting the best.
That's an illusion.
The true positive person accepts that what is happening is the best.
And so, going back to your example of COVID, you know, Beersma and I thrived in COVID because we were locked down together and And we're totally good with that, because we like being with each other.
Some people didn't like being with others.
Some of our clients realized they lived with people that they couldn't stand, and that's unfortunate.
But the reality is that the nightmare, if you've ever had a nightmare, and you wake up in the middle of the night, and you're in a cold sweat, and your heart is palpitating, and you're breathing rapidly, and you go, oh my God, thank God, it was just a nightmare.
Well, let's remember, the nightmare is what woke you up.
And so we could say that we're going through a nightmare right now for many, many people.
But you're absolutely correct, Gareth.
It's waking people up.
And the more people wake up, the more they go, wait a second, you know, I'm more than this.
I don't have to just be a pawn in someone else's game.
Absolutely.
I remember I broke my leg pretty badly, broke my tib and fib, it was flapping around, it was pretty gruesome.
And I was lying there in a hospital bed and I remember my dad saying that this would be, you know, one of the greatest things that ever happens to you.
And I remember looking at him thinking, are you having a laugh?
How much this hurts, for one.
But actually it's completely true and it changed my life.
Completely.
It changed the way I looked at things, including myself probably more importantly.
In terms of Harmonic Wealth Global, obviously that's the organisation that the two of you have set up.
What are the principles behind that and what made you set up the organisation?
Three fundamental principles.
First of all, my New York Times bestseller is Harmonic Wealth, and I believe we have a gift for your viewers today of a free e-copy, and Marisa can give you the link, but that's why we set the company up.
But Harmonic Wealth is a state of harmony and well-being in the five key areas.
I call those the five pillars of your life.
Financial, relational, mental, physical, spiritual.
And when those are in harmony, not balance, Harmony, then you're truly wealthy.
Wealth is something money can't buy.
And a lot of people think it's just money, but money is part of it, but money is one-fifth of the equation.
Our three fundamental drivers of harmonic wealth is that we transform consciousness, communication, and culture.
And if you want, if you look throughout history, Gareth, and I'm sure you, I hope you would agree, anytime there's been significant shifts in the world, it has to start with consciousness.
There has to be a shift in consciousness, and then that has to be communicated repeatedly and clearly, and then the whole culture begins to shift.
And so those are the things that we work with, with both individuals and with businesses.
It's interesting, isn't it?
Because you're right, the term wealth, most people would instantly think money.
But actually, Bursa Bay, for me, I think, I'm asking you because as a healer, so when it comes to health, I was always taught that actually if you've got your health, you're a millionaire.
It doesn't matter what you've got in the bank.
That's so true.
I work with and in the health part, let's just say beyond the physical body goes beyond that as to what I do with people is help them resolve their mostly with they've experienced traumas or PTSD and it's mostly traumas and what happens is that we get stuck In these repeating patterns of traumatic experiences that affect how we behave now.
And the cause being the trauma is what I help individuals resolve to be able to change their habits so that they don't have the bad behaviors.
And I've been through all of them myself.
And what we work mostly for people is to be able to break Absolutely.
And we're not taught that, are we?
We're taught to have thought leaders as well, aren't we?
and create independent thinkers for people to be able to think for themselves
and stop getting fed by the media and you know music anything they watch but
just start looking at things and start thinking for yourself. Absolutely.
We're not taught that are we? We're taught to have thought leaders as well
aren't we? Even our thoughts have someone else in charge of them. Right.
Yes, absolutely.
We always tell the people that we work with, Hey, don't take our word, you know, for as, as it is, but think for yourself, even question what we say, do your own research.
You have to be able to look at things clearly.
You can't, you question what you do and why do I do this?
Why do I like this?
Why do I believe this?
So we're not very popular in the arena, if you can imagine.
Yeah, the best people are never popular anyway, I've got to say, I've got to say.
Just finally, for people that are watching this that are kind of, because I think there's a lot of people that they probably realise that they're actually in some kind of loop, that they actually acknowledge that, that actually I have this repeated cycle, whether it be relationships, work, or whatever, that actually I keep almost self-sabotaging myself with the same thing over and over again.
They acknowledge that, but they're not quite sure how to break that cycle and how to get out of that.
So how can people that are watching this, that are listening to you both, going, I agree, how can they break that cycle and how can they find you for a start to assist them with that?
Well, why don't you, you want to take that one?
And you can give them the link for the book.
I think the book will help if they're interested in that and it's free and they can find us in the same place.
Go ahead.
The book will help, which is harmonicwealthglobal.com forward slash harmonic or book.
I'm sorry.
The other way that they can do that is you could do one-on-one sessions with me.
It's very cost effective and I've made it that way on purpose.
is to be able to, it's a meditative state.
It's hard to explain what an intuitive healer is.
But I take you into whatever the situation may be that you're having a hard time with.
And we'll go into it, and it's a practical application.
And I will have you reaccess those memories.
It's kind of called like a soul retrieval, where we go back in time and see what's causing that.
And you get a completely different view.
And then all of a sudden, you don't have that hook that keeps coming back to now and creating this repeating pattern for you.
You break that.
So now you come back to now and you can start all over brand new and fresh, which it's really, it sets you free.
And I've done this stuff on myself because I have a background that was full of traumas, to say the least.
I bet that's incredibly liberating, isn't it?
To actually be given almost a blank canvas.
Well, you know, it's interesting, Gareth, it is liberating.
And we've been together for 11 years and I have repeatedly received a brand new wife.
Which is kind of fun, you know?
And it's an improvement every single time.
That's a relief.
Can I swap it for the last one?
You know, we repeatedly work with and on each other, and it's an ongoing... It's hard work.
Let's be frank.
It's hard work.
It's very hard work.
It takes commitment.
It takes discipline.
It takes perseverance.
But the outcomes are so worthwhile.
They really are.
Because Beersaba, and I would say to me, after going through what I went through in 2009-10, And going to prison and all the things that came from my experience.
I'm a better man.
I know that.
And that's why I can say with experience that if you're struggling today as a viewer, take heart.
Keep the faith.
Because we grow the most and learn the most, as I've said, in the crucible of challenge.
And one thing you can do, besides working with us directly, just do on your own, is what Bersaba already mentioned, and it's very Toltec.
You know, I've been exposed to a lot of the ancient traditions, but the Toltecs call it hunting.
And hunting is to continually ask yourself, why am I doing this?
Why am I attracted to this?
Why do I think a certain car is better than another?
And what you'll find, if you're really, really honest, Is that it's not even your original thought.
It's something that you've been given as an unsolicited gift from an outside source at a very early age.
And so when you start to recognize that, then you can move towards transforming that.
Fantastic.
Thank you so much for joining us.
I've loved talking to you.
I love everything that's positive, especially when people have gone through challenges and instead of, you know, sitting down and saying, woe is me, life's hard, it's always me, I never have anything nice, that actually go, no, you know, I had a challenge and look at me, I came through it and I'm stronger than I was.
That's a great message.
Thank you.
Thanks for having us here.
Keep doing great work.
