Bass Rutten is a great mixed martial artist, entrepreneur, and actor. He was the first ever Rogan guest to take Joe Rogan over a million YouTube views. And he talks about martial arts, entrepreneurialism, and faith.
00:00:26.000Nurse, the screens for the first 15 minutes will be available on X and YouTube.
00:00:32.000Ultimately, we want you to join us on Rumble and Rumble Premium for, frankly, an unbelievable conversation with my beloved friend, Bas Rutten.
00:00:43.000Bas Rutten, as you know, is a great mixed martial artist, entrepreneur, and actor.
00:00:49.000He was the first ever Rogan guest to take Joe Rogan over a million views.
00:00:55.000What I thought I was dealing with when chatting to Bas Rutten is a kind of raw primordial force that could be directed towards any number of things, like a sort of a Niagara of energy that if it was able to flow towards chaos, it would.
00:01:11.000And if directed through the Heavenly Father and Lord, it would create all sorts of positive things.
00:01:15.000We talked to him about his O2 product, which is a device that helps you to breathe more deeply and better.
00:01:21.000We talk about martial arts, entrepreneurialism, and faith.
00:01:40.000One of the things that made me most excited to talk to you was that, in a sense, you midwifed Joe Rogan over the million mark, as well as being a Catholic, as well as being, it sounds like sort of inventor and innovator, early UFC warrior.
00:01:58.000But I'd like to start off firstly, of course, by extending my gratitude to you for joining us today and asking you about how you came to Christ.
00:02:10.000Oh, well, I was baptized, you know, named after a badass saint, Saint Sebastian, the guy who got martyred twice.
00:02:18.000But then when we were 12, around that age, I think my mom and dad, they didn't believe anymore.
00:02:23.000I saw a book where, you know, one cell and that turned into everything.
00:03:43.000Then I started drinking after I retired fighting, start doing drugs.
00:03:47.000You know, you try to replace that feeling, I guess, you know, from fighting in front of 15, 16,000 people with something else, which for me was drugs and alcohol.
00:03:56.000And although I'm always a happy guy dancing with the kids and doing funny things, it's still stupid.
00:08:30.000I like the extraordinary synchronicity that the person that brought you to faith used an image that you were predisposed to respond to because your own inkling that there were ulterior realities had been peaked by your own contemplation of that tree as a boy.
00:08:56.000I liken it to the rich young man in the gospel of, is it Matthew, who says to the Lord, what do I got to do?
00:09:05.000And he says, love God with all your heart.
00:09:11.000All right, then, leave everything you have and follow me.
00:09:15.000And like the young man sighed because he knew he wouldn't be able to do that.
00:09:20.000And I wonder if when you talk about these supernatural encounters, Bass, it's clear to me that the world of the senses and the world of our human understanding is limited.
00:09:35.000It's clear to me that the natural leads almost organically to the supernatural.
00:09:42.000Indeed, I think of many of the saints, in particular St. Francis, that St. Francis experienced the supernatural through the natural.
00:09:53.000Like these demonic encounters that you're describing are pretty intense, but I've got a real feeling that you were, I could feel that you were telling the truth.
00:10:02.000And I've had other people, I've never had an encounter like that that's so explicit, vivid, lurid, and clear as you're describing.
00:11:37.000It's grown high in the Bolivian mountains where the air is thin, the vibes are thick, and the beans basically whisper ancient truths to the winds.
00:11:46.000No acidic afterburn, no synthetic weirdness.
00:11:49.000This coffee doesn't leave you hung over in a feather boa or speaking fluent nonsense.
00:11:55.000Just bold, smooth, consciousness activating coffee with clean energy and antioxidants so potent I drank it and remembered three of my past lives.

00:12:06.000You had a pretty extraordinary life, the ill health that you described as a child going on to confront physical threat and live in combat in the way that you've described.
00:12:16.000It seems that you've been chosen to tell a very, very particular story and to demonstrate some very, very unusual ideas.
00:12:25.000And like I was saying about the demonic thing there, sometimes when you said that about like feeling the weight on your chest, sometimes that's where I feel it most.
00:12:36.000Like I feel like I'm encountering something there.
00:12:39.000I recently went back to the UK where I have some tribulations that seem to me somehow demonic.
00:12:44.000And when I consider Ephesians and the dark power and the dark authority, I feel like that plays out for sure in human institutions through human power.
00:12:54.000And I sense that the way that the evil one has taken control of the world, the authority that he says in scripture that he has in his, you know, when tempting our Lord, I feel that power has captured media, a lot of government, the normalization of evil is like happening sort of at scale in our culture.
00:13:18.000And it's very interesting to me to discuss with you a voyage and a journey and a walk that's included sort of frailty and vulnerability as a child that I really strongly identify with.
00:13:32.000Trouble with addiction that I strongly identify with.
00:13:35.000And I wonder if you agree with me that addiction is, I believe, and so do the sort of people that came up with the 12-step program that I'm able one day at a time to use to stay clean and free, that addiction is an attempt to sanctify and make spiritual the material.
00:13:52.000That our thirst for God and our hunger for the holy is so strong that you have to have God and that you find one by one that the false idols can never give it to you.
00:14:25.000Yeah, but at that time it was like pushing love away or pushing bad feelings.
00:14:30.000It was like I was this guy who always felt good, always glass half full, always happy, always.
00:14:35.000And I think after fighting, it left, I don't know, something happened that I couldn't fight anymore and it really left the whole edge start to try to fill that.
00:14:54.000And then slowly but surely now I'm talking to you.
00:14:56.000You see, so 100%, I believe that is God.
00:14:58.000But in the beginning, I think that I got attacked a lot by the devil with God allowing it.
00:15:04.000Because of course, for him, and I always tell people this, this is the craziest thing, you know, for him, his whole existence, whatever he did, everything is one act for him.
00:17:39.000You know, so every time I was never put in a situation that I go, okay, this is payback from what I did last night or what I did last week.
00:17:47.000It was always, I always sailed through everything.
00:17:49.000I had car accidents that you cannot believe flying over a trash barrier, no seatbelts, my body flies through the car, no roof.
00:21:59.000Why would you, you do it because it's the right thing to do.
00:22:02.000You don't do it for a thank you, you know?
00:22:04.000And once I start seeing those little tiny things, I go, man, I got a lot of cleanup to do.
00:22:09.000So I started cleaning and now everything became better.
00:22:13.000It was easier to stop the drugs, to stop the alcohol, you know, because now I saw what a real man is, which is a guy who doesn't do everything because now he is controlled.
00:22:21.000Whatever overcomes a man through that, he is enslaved, right?
00:22:48.000I like the scripture, seek thee first the kingdom of God.
00:22:52.000And I feel that all of our interactions, if they can be directed primarily towards God rather than anything else, then opening a door and being spurned or a failed business venture or any challenges are secondary.
00:23:11.000I heard a Catholic priest, Thomas Merton, like relatively contemporary Catholic writer, say that sacrifice need not include suffering.
00:23:25.000That even though the primary image of sacrifice is obviously Christ on the cross and it is an image of suffering, that the point of sacrifice is to acknowledge that there is another realm, a primary realm, the realm of God, the realm of the Father.
00:23:43.000And the reason that involves suffering often is because we're attached to our body or we're attached to our money or attached to our food or attached to sex or identity or whatever it is.
00:23:53.000But sacrifice, but the sacrifice needn't include suffering.
00:23:58.000If you were not attached, if you had perfect non-attachment, then you, but, you know, and that's why I need Christ, because I know that Christ was tempted by the devil.
00:25:00.000If I start dedicating myself to the world, start caring about my success at work or whether I've got enough money, it just, it starts with one thread.
00:25:14.000And I think that you might be like that.
00:25:16.000I think you might be a, sounds to me like you're an extremist, but that when you devote that to something focused and targeted, like becoming a fighter, which is a pretty much no place to hide, serious questions asked environment, you're able to succeed.
00:25:32.000How do you regard that success through the lens of a saved man of God?
00:25:37.000How do you look back at even the things in your life that were apparently and evidently successful, victorious, glorious?
00:25:46.000Yeah, well, it's exactly like you said.
00:26:42.000So I should have seen it coming that once I take the training away, it's going to be a problem later on.
00:26:48.000But once you come to God and you realize and you live by those principles, you realize, I wish that I would have known this when I was thinking 20 years old.
00:26:57.000Somebody would have come to me, hammered some sense into me.
00:27:25.000Nobody ever talked to me like that because I came from a family, but he simply didn't believe.
00:27:31.000I wish constantly I go back, if I could go back to 2000, just 2000 when the kids were very tiny still, you know, and then there from that moment on, so I have at least the finding behind me because, man, that was a crazy path.
00:27:44.000Learned from all these crazy mistakes, and then I should have jumped back into the church.
00:29:04.000So the proof is in the pudding is just, you know, doing it.
00:29:07.000The whole, everything changes and everything becomes better.
00:29:10.000That's the thing, the problem right now.
00:29:12.000Everybody's looking for that dopamine the whole time, you know, and we need to go with the serotonin, the ketonizer, relics, just feeling good.
00:29:20.000But those peaks, every time you need more of it, whatever it is that gives you that peak in order to get that same feeling.
00:29:26.000How many times did you not tell your friends?
00:29:29.000And I said, that first time you did cocaine, you never get that same experience again, right?
00:29:34.000And but that's with every feis and that's why the world is so out of control, because we all want to be free, but you shouldn't be free, you know, because then there's no meaning.
00:29:52.000And once you realize that, and I realized at a very late age, then you go, oh my God, I've been so stupid my entire life.
00:29:59.000Why didn't I do this all the way back?
00:30:01.000How cool would it be to be a fighter, to never use profanity, to have not won any, no tattoos, and just destroy everybody and spreading the word of God?
00:30:10.000I mean, that would have been a really cool thing to do.
00:30:12.000Now, I know a lot of people are going to say, I don't think God is okay with fighting, but I think that's a dumb statement.
00:30:21.000I think he is okay with it, as long as both fighters sign up for it in order to do it, to have a better life.
00:30:28.000Like, I say violence is when one of the guys doesn't want to fight.
00:30:33.000But I think when you both sign up to support your families, and you know, for people, it always looks like it's so violent because it's in a cage, right?
00:30:41.000And you put animals in a cage, you put prisoners in a cage, but it's actually there for your safety.
00:30:45.000And once you go through all the rules and what you can and cannot do, then you realize it's really not that dangerous.
00:30:51.000But there's way less death, like way less.
00:30:53.000I think we had maybe three deaths since mixed martial arts started.
00:30:59.000Taking the eight count away, it's a big thing.
00:31:02.000If I mount somebody and I start hitting him and he doesn't intelligently defend himself, before I connect through, the refuge is probably going to pull me off.
00:31:11.000Because eventually he knows it's going to happen.
00:31:14.000So it's much safer for the fighters, but people don't know that.
00:31:17.000They see the blood with the heartbeat of 150 pumping out and it looks all bad and it's in the cage, you know, but they don't see the sport of it.
00:31:25.000And they don't know what we feel towards each other.

00:32:28.000And if you haven't got Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium Now.
00:32:32.000I don't think you should filter anything out.
00:32:33.000I think you should put it all in and then do a pass on it.
00:32:36.000Like do a pass after you've put it in and write it from the perspect, like you're writing it as the man that you are now.
00:32:42.000So I've often thought myself that I should have been, you know, have you ever heard how they sort of select llamas in like Tibetan Buddhism, like when like four-year-old kids are like shown artifacts that belong to an apparently previous incarnation of the same soul that they are.
00:33:02.000And if they identify those artifacts, they're taken from the village and they're sort of shown a new path and a new way.
00:33:08.000And I've, you know, that seems kind of sometimes ridiculous to a Westerner and to a non-Buddhist, but I believe even as a follower of Christ, that I was a kind of person that you could have marked out at four years old, five years old, six years old, or whatever, as this person, the world's never going to be enough of this kid.
00:33:28.000This is someone that needs to be in a monastery or a friary.
00:33:33.000This person needs to follow the spiritual path, otherwise they're going to worship God in everything you put in front of them, in food, in sex, and everything.
00:33:41.000And, you know, so I identify it with that.
00:33:45.000I wonder how your relationship with fear has changed.
00:33:49.000Like, in spite of how you characterize yourself as a younger man, you knew enough to have the Dutch word for relax, tattooed on your body.
00:34:00.000And that, like, seems to me to be almost combat and secular equivalent of seek thee first the kingdom of God.
00:34:08.000Like, most people can't, and obviously I would strongly include myself in this.
00:34:14.000Mike Tyson's, you know, everyone has a plan until they get a punch in the face, a brilliant remark.
00:34:20.000Like, me, I'm a person that was, once I'm frightened, I don't think very clearly at all.
00:34:25.000And look, my connection with God, it's very hard to maintain my connection to God if I'm overstimulated, if someone stimulates too much desire or too much fear or if circumstances rather than someone.
00:34:37.000So how did you know that fundamental to success in combat was going to be the maintenance of a state of relaxation?
00:35:08.000But an unstoppable mind, a guy who can literally stop at the moment when that's when shit hit the fan and cancel everything out on the side.
00:35:22.000Now I was very fortunate because I just destroyed the people that I knocked them out.
00:35:26.000But if I would have had a really good opponent who knew how to stay out of my reach and just pick me apart from the side, I would have run out of gas and then he would have gotten me.
00:36:25.000So that, together with him being like 33 pounds heavier, and now knowing that if I can't put the guy away, which was a Japanese guy and known for being tough, what if I can't put him away in the first one and a half minute?
00:36:42.000And then I put these big R's on my hand from those things, you know, like, and I told my corner, which was, I'll trade myself, was my manager in the corner.
00:36:49.000If he hits me, just shout, be calm, stay calm, stay calm, because I'm a hothead and I didn't want to lose my cool.
00:36:55.000And then the most crazy thing, experience in my life happened till this day.
00:37:00.000It's like one of the coolest things that I ever had in my life.
00:37:03.000The fight started and I'm in the bubble.
00:37:07.000And I hear my corner talk to each other.
00:37:39.000And then these two voices in my head started talking.
00:37:42.000One is a very aggressive voice and the other one was a very calm guy.
00:37:46.000And the aggressive guy says, run to the corner, because as soon as you're in the corner, that's when they start counting.
00:37:51.000So the later you're in the corner, the more rest you're going to give your opponent.
00:37:56.000But the other guy somehow was telling me, and it was not with the voice, that it was way more intimidating to just walk towards the guy, because I know he had his eyes open, to give him a look, and then to walk back very slowly.
00:38:09.000So he would think, my God, this guy's not afraid at all.
00:38:13.000And then I'm hanging in the corner like this.
00:38:15.000But while I'm hanging in the corner, the other guy goes, you gotta go, you gotta ride, right, right, right.
00:38:20.000And then boom, the fight started again.
00:38:22.000And that's where I knocked him out with another palm strike, liver to the kick, a kick to the liver, hands went down, another palm strike, and then I kneed him in the head.
00:38:31.000And that was a very scary moment because he went, he was two days out.
00:38:36.000You know, so he got up like three minutes and he crashed again right away.
00:38:40.000He got up after another three minutes, crashed again.
00:38:42.000They had to bring him to the hospital.
00:39:06.000It was just at that moment given to me.
00:39:08.000Maybe it's also the audience because they're super quiet in Japan, right?
00:39:12.000I mean, you can sit in the 30th row and I can speak like I'm speaking right now, and he can hear what I'm saying because nobody makes a sound.
00:39:18.000Or when you knock somebody out, the whole place goes crazy for 10 seconds, and then it's quiet again.
00:39:23.000Maybe that combination with the 30-minute round and with the 33-pounds heavier guy, and then the quietness really got me in that Fudo Shin logo, the unstoppable mind, not able, nobody could throw me off my game.
00:39:38.000That's why till this day, I say for my ADHD, fighting and sparring, elite sparring against good guys is the most peaceful time for me there is.
00:39:47.000Because you have no time for all the other craziness coming in.
00:41:40.000If we direct it according to the principles of our Lord, then it will realize in his image.
00:41:44.000If we allow the evil one to intercede, then it will play out through his false idols.
00:41:50.000It will play out in his temples, in his temporality.
00:41:54.000But so I wonder if it sounds like that you were particularly predisposed to strikes and that your early career were perhaps in formats and forums that were predisposed to strike in martial arts.
00:42:08.000What happened as you had to incorporate ground game and whether that jiu-jitsu or wrestling, how did that alter the trajectory?
00:45:14.000I have to know why it's hurting and why this will put more pressure on if it would.
00:45:19.000Like I figure for a lot of people, and this is a white belt move, right?
00:45:22.000You learn this pretty much for if they lift your elbow up.
00:45:25.000Now here you can see my elbow can come up to this and then I can roll out.
00:45:28.000But look, if I push my hand down, the elbow cannot come up.
00:45:32.000Okay, so that is a better torque on the shoulder.
00:45:35.000now you're watching fights, guys in main events, and they have the hand here.
00:45:39.000I go, if you understand the submission and you know exactly how to do it and how it works, that's how I realized how to stay out of submissions.
00:45:49.000Because in the beginning, I was learning how to defend the armbar, how to defend the triangle choke.
00:45:54.000Why don't I learn everything about the armbar and everything about the submission so I can already see it coming when they try to put it on?
00:48:46.000And that's really helping me right now with all these little things that are happening in my life.
00:48:51.000If something stressful happens, I just, well, God has a plan.
00:48:55.000How do you manage the apparent contradiction between allowing God to use you and the requirement to be persistent, to push past where most people might concede or submit?
00:51:18.000You see, and those guys, most of the time, that's what I believe, they're not going to make it because they're doing it to project into, oh, hey, look how cool I am.
00:51:31.000And then at the critical moment, maybe they don't make it.
00:51:34.000But it's because they never really wanted it.
00:51:36.000It was just because their dad really forced it upon them.
00:51:39.000I think it has something to do with that.
00:51:41.000We're going to have a quick word from one of our partners now.
00:51:43.000We can't make this content without them.
00:51:44.000Rumble is farting out the fierce cock of authoritarianism and clamping shut the butt cheeks of free speech, baby.
00:51:53.000When major advertisers conspired to pull their dollary dues, even brands like Dunking Donuts turned their back, claiming Rumble had a right-wing culture.
00:52:38.000Do you feel like we are living in an age of bewilderment and confusion and overstimulation?
00:52:43.000That there's a sustained sense of panic in the world now, both culturally and politically.
00:52:49.000And if you do believe that bewilderment is real, certainly what I believe, and I feel like a really good example of it was the Olympic opening ceremony.
00:52:56.000Like, why bother to create a sort of a pageant of blasphemy other than to sort of suggest that nothing is sacred?
00:53:03.000And if nothing is sacred, all that really exists are your urges.
00:53:06.000All that exists are those wrong motives that you've described a lot, Bas, like just pursuing things because you think it will make you feel good.
00:53:13.000And I spent a lot of my life thinking that the purpose and point of my life was my own satisfaction or my own aggrandizement.
00:53:33.000This is what, you know, I drift back into false idolatry.
00:53:37.000Do you think that the culture is creating an environment of bewilderment, of delirium, so that false idols and false motives can succeed?
00:53:47.000And if you do agree with that, how are you managing your, like now you're more involved in business?
00:53:54.000For example, the O2 trainer that you invented, which increases lung capacity, which I could do because I have amphycema, by the way, and I could do a bit more stamina.
00:54:03.000I roll a little bit as a hobby, you know, I'm a purple belt in jiu-jitsu.
00:54:09.000And I'd like to have a bit more sort of stamina.
00:54:13.000And so how do you focus on entrepreneurialism, success, and business in a bewildering environment?
00:54:20.000And most importantly, my initial question, do you think that the culture creates a sort of bewilderment in order to succeed and direct people towards false idolatry?
00:55:19.000And the more they complain, the more it gets.
00:55:20.000So 100%, because a population that cannot think, you know, and we see this a lot, they simply cannot think anymore because the emotions are out of freaking control, the emotional boundaries are completely shut.
00:56:08.000I'm pretty sure there's nobody who wants that guy.
00:56:11.000So we want weak people who don't think anymore and just do whatever the forces here are saying to do.
00:56:19.000And if you listen to that, that KGB, I'm pretty sure you heard that, the guy when he said how to get the whole country weak, you know, and everything he says, oh, actually, there's a better one.
00:56:31.000If you were the devil, you know, how would you do it?
00:56:34.000And if you Google that, every point he hits, it's exactly how the whole thing is working right now.
00:58:03.000But it really works now with me also in business, of course, you know, because now I understand I have to know everything about breathing, what you're talking about, Yoto Trainer, in order to bring it over to the people.
00:58:15.000Because there were things that I got like, you know, if you tell a person how your lungs don't do anything, you know, they're just too bags.
00:58:29.000Your lungs actually breathe by chest expansion.
00:58:32.000And that expansion is done by your diaphragm and your intercostal muscles.
00:58:35.000And that expansion creates a vacuum between the body and the lungs.
00:58:38.000And that vacuum, that opens up the lungs.
00:58:41.000So now it's a really crazy thing to say.
00:58:43.000So when your chest expands, it's not because you put air in it.
00:58:47.000When your chest expands, that's how you pull the air in.
00:58:50.000And once people start seeing that and realizing they have 11 pounds of breathing muscles that you can actually work out and make stronger, that's why all the Olympians are doing it.
00:59:00.000It's called the Spiritory Muscle Training.
00:59:02.000Then you go, oh, okay, see, but I have to learn everything.
00:59:06.000I want to learn how the lungs work, the alveolus, what they're doing.
00:59:09.000The three parts of the lungs, the bronchus and the secondary bronchia, the tertiary bronchia, all these things I want to know.
00:59:16.000But now I know that I have to understand it in order to go to a person that goes, dude, you know a lot about breathing.
01:03:14.000Now, many years later, I realized I was stimulating the vagus nerve, the vagus nerve.
01:03:19.000They say, the vagus nerve is also called the wonder.
01:03:22.000It's the 10th cranial nerve that goes through all the body.
01:03:24.000And it's actually involved in all the crazy actions that you don't know you're doing.
01:03:28.000Like blinking, reading, sniffing, watching, looking, hearing your lungs, your heart, digestion, all the stuff that you don't focus on, but it automatically does.
01:03:39.000Now, that is also involved in the parasympathetic nervous system, which is a nervous system that calms you down.
01:03:46.000And there's four ways to stimulate that vagus nerve.
01:03:49.000There's splashing cold water in your face.
01:03:51.000There's putting, this is a weird one, Q-tips in your ears and you start massaging your eardrums on the back and the Indian side.
01:03:57.000And then there's singing, there's humming and one breathing technique, four seconds in, eight seconds out.
01:04:03.000Now, so unknowingly, all the way back in Japan in 93, I was connecting two.
01:04:38.000if he just inhaled he can only hold that move for as long as he can hold his breath as soon as he exhales he can't inhale anymore and I started tapping people with that and then Fidel started using it now I know I was stopping his chest from expansion you know so he couldn't breathe you see all these things that I was doing unknown and good now I realize oh it had all had a reason it was the vagus nerve that I was stimulating with humming and with with the breathing part, and it freaking worked.
01:05:06.000Once I start breathing and using all my 360 degrees breathing muscles around my body, dude, my stamina now is like crazy compared to what it was.
01:05:15.000You see me in World Title V breathing like this.
01:05:18.000Now I come off on a hard round, it's literally this.
01:05:22.000And every time I go like, this is so crazy.
01:05:52.000You're running a steep hill, and suddenly it feels like you get hit in the face, you start gassing.
01:05:57.000Metaborflex, that's the word for gassing.
01:06:00.000What happens at that moment is that your body starts redirecting oxygenated blood and it takes it away from your legs and you go, wait, I'm running.
01:06:09.000Yeah, but it sends it to the number one priority of the body, which is breathing.
01:06:40.000Wait, you just, what if I work out those 11 parts of breathing muscles, so they don't have to steal the blood anymore, which, by the way, I always say it's a medical term, blood stealing.
01:06:51.000They don't have to steal the blood from the legs or the arms, whatever you're using at the time.
01:07:01.000I came up with it when I was 14 because I was a track athlete.
01:07:06.000And if I had an asthma attack for a week in bed, which was everything in bed, not able to eat, not able to drink water very easy because I couldn't freaking breathe.
01:07:18.000But then when I resumed my track and field, I was always breaking my running times.
01:07:37.000I go, dude, I've been working out my lungs because that's, I thought, my lungs were doing the work at the time, through an infected area, you know, so I unknowingly made them stronger over the last seven days, 24-7.
01:07:48.000Okay, so why don't I come up with something that controls the air intake?
01:07:52.000And I got these washes, bolts, washers, nuts, you know, like these round things with a hole in it.
01:07:57.000I start putting it in front of my mouth and tried to breathe through it.
01:10:07.000All the tests say that doesn't really work.
01:10:09.000Now, if you separate both exercises, then it becomes really good.
01:10:13.000Because if you breathe out with resistance, you can't really empty out everything.
01:10:17.000So you want to completely empty yourself and then you start inhaling.
01:10:21.000It comes with some exercises, but in the beginning, just sit still.
01:10:34.000And you literally do this for 30 repetitions only.
01:10:36.000Guys, this is four, four and a half minutes a day.
01:10:39.000And it will dramatically change everything it does.
01:10:42.000Now, of course, it comes with two exercises.
01:10:44.000One is to attack the front breathing muscles and there's one to attack the back breathing muscles.
01:10:48.000And that gives you that 360 circumferential breathing around the body.
01:10:53.000And it just changes right away everything.
01:10:56.000And this thing will also force you to breathe the correct way.
01:10:59.000Because if I'm trying to raise my shoulders, pulling in on a high intensity tiny hole that I have here, you're not going to be able to pull it in because you need more power.
01:11:09.000Therefore, you're going to need your real breathing muscles, which are your diaphragm and your gut and your intercostals.
01:11:14.000So it forces you to breathe correctly by prohibiting your potential to breathe badly.
01:11:21.000So you, and what are the exercises that locate it at the front or rear?
01:11:39.000I had literally bodybuilders buying it now for their abs.
01:11:43.000If you see my core, it all sticks out here at the front because the diaphragm is located at the bottom, it's attached to the bottom of your rib cage.
01:11:51.000Your diaphragm for the people at home because then you have an idea how it works.
01:12:45.000What I'm doing here is I exhale, then I bend on diaphragm level because that will push all the air out.
01:12:52.000I lean over, I start inhaling, and then I come up slowly and I try to time it as such a way that once I sit up straight, this is the end of my inhale.
01:13:00.000And I really try to feel my body expand.
01:13:40.000And for the people who do this for the first time, do not do 30 reps because the next day, these muscles you never used, you're really going to feel it.
01:13:48.000Like your muscle aches are going to be insane.
01:15:26.000Anyway, I go from being on like on my butt to a standing, like, you know, camel position in yoga.
01:15:33.000And you just take a strong inhale and you're pushing your chin back and you're pushing your chest out.
01:15:40.000And I swear, I think maybe it shuts down the systems of the ego and the self, but there is still a remnant consciousness.
01:15:49.000And that remnant consciousness, I consider to be the unindividuated consciousness, like it's pure flow.
01:15:58.000You know, I'm just beginning it now, you know, but I realize, I feel like if you, like, that you aren't, like the where the evil one gets you is when you're in self.
01:16:51.000Like, that's why I use the paper towel now, because I already start feeling it, because your core gets really thick and it's all around those breathing muscles, about the diaphragm.
01:17:01.000In the beginning, we talk about belly breathing, but that's kind of, we just say that, to get your mind away from the chest breathing.
01:17:07.000And once the belly breathing is there, then you will start focusing on the bottom part of your rib cage because that's where the real diaphragm is and that pushes it out.
01:17:16.000I do now want laying down, like in a little bit of an incline.
01:17:20.000And those two muscles, I have made a video about it.
01:18:00.000I see what I learned is that there's when you have raw potential running through you, if that potential is not tutored and directed, it will destroy you.
01:18:12.000I think this is a strong characteristic of addiction, but it's also amazing that in faith and through Christ, it can be directed.
01:18:20.000I don't know that there's another way of doing it.
01:18:22.000I don't think you can do it the new age way.
01:18:24.000I don't think you can do it through Buddhism.
01:18:27.000But like, you know, like how you said, like with the virtues, like if you're willing to get into the architecture and, you know, deep theology, there are ways of, you know, it's all covered.
01:18:39.000The ways of bringing forth, whether it's via saints or whether it's via the virtues or whatever other somewhat esoteric values you bring to the forefront, there are ways of directing that potential through Christ and through his church.
01:18:59.000You have to understand God wants you the very best person that you can be.
01:19:03.000Mind and body, and that's automatically your soul, right?
01:19:06.000So whatever he says will get you in the best shape possible.
01:19:10.000So make sure that you just do the work.
01:19:12.000You got to stop all these, follow the virtues, the cardinal virtues, the most crazy ones.
01:19:17.000Of course, faith, hope, charity, the theological ones are very important, but the cardinal virtues, the prudence, the justice, the temperance, the fortitude, especially fortitude.
01:20:18.000But if you're persistent and you're good at what you're doing and you're going to find out if you're good, you know, then it's, but if it's your wish and you love it, most of the time you will be good because people can tell that you love it.
