Hello, everybody. You are listening or watching

0:05

Chatting with Candice. I'm your host, Candice

0:07

Horbach. And this week we are doing

0:09

something a little bit different. Normally

0:12

we have a guest. I think I've

0:14

only done one or two solo casts

0:17

this entire podcast, which is more than

0:20

two years old at this point. It's

0:22

not my strong suit. I definitely still get

0:24

a lot of nerves. I don't have anything

0:27

written out. It's usually I feel

0:29

inspired or things kind of

0:32

seem to lead in a

0:34

way where I feel called to

0:36

do a solo episode. I had

0:41

a lot of spiritual

0:43

influencers that were scheduled for this month.

0:45

I was booked up. I was going

0:47

to work my butt off in

0:49

November and then take all of

0:52

December off to enjoy that with my family. And

0:54

then for one reason or another, most of my

0:56

guests fell through. Yesterday

0:59

I was supposed to

1:01

record with somebody. Admittedly,

1:03

I need to be doing better research before

1:05

I have guests on. Sometimes I'll

1:07

overlook certain things I disagree with because I think

1:10

that I can find value in other areas. I

1:12

think that that's important. It's to keep a balance

1:14

between what's for me, what's

1:16

not for me, and not to write off

1:18

someone entirely because they're not perfect for you.

1:21

And very few people are, if anyone

1:24

at all, including ourselves. So it's

1:27

not to judge people on the things I disagree with.

1:30

It's to take them as a whole and

1:32

say, are they a good person or a bad person?

1:34

Do they have something valuable to offer? Can

1:37

I learn from them and then have them on or

1:39

not? And I feel like when

1:41

it comes to being more strict and more

1:43

diligent as to who I come on, it's

1:45

especially I hate this word and

1:48

I don't have a better

1:50

alternative. I'm going to say platforming.

1:52

And typically that's used when you have

1:55

someone who's massive and they go

1:57

on a show and it's controversial and they're like, how could

1:59

you platform this person? So this person already had a

2:01

platform, right? So you can't platform someone who's already

2:03

successful in their own right. There

2:05

are scenarios where you have someone

2:07

who is not necessarily successful or

2:09

popularly known yet. So to bring

2:11

them onto my show would be

2:13

platforming in that regard. Regardless,

2:18

because I don't think it necessarily depends on

2:20

how popular the person is,

2:22

but I think it's especially popular if that

2:24

person hasn't caught traction yet, is does

2:28

this person represent

2:32

the values and principles that I want to put into

2:34

the world that I want to instill for my children

2:36

that I hope to present

2:40

to you, the listener, and myself,

2:42

holding yourself accountable. And if they

2:44

don't have the same values and

2:46

principles, then I think I shouldn't have

2:48

them on. Regardless of if

2:51

there's this one little manifestation trick

2:53

that they can teach you or they're really

2:55

cool with psychology or plug

2:57

and play whatever that thing is. So

3:01

that's a very long-winded way of saying the guests that I

3:03

was supposed to have on, I went to look

3:05

at their profile. And it's a lot of

3:07

the same critiques that I have about the

3:10

spiritual community, which is it seems

3:12

to be detached

3:14

from reality. It's this place

3:16

of virtue signaling

3:19

and blind

3:21

compassion, almost weaponized compassion. So

3:24

that you can feel good

3:27

about yourself. You can convince yourself in the

3:29

world that you are the good guy because

3:31

you feel the most, you

3:33

love the most, you have pushed your

3:35

ego aside the most. And

3:38

it's exhausting and it's nauseating. And it's,

3:40

again, it's detached. Good and evil are

3:43

very real in this world. We live

3:45

in a world of polarity, right? There's

3:47

hot, there's cold, there's night, there's day,

3:49

there's right, there's wrong, there's good, there's

3:52

evil. I

3:55

think that some of these people in this community

3:57

get to a place where everything

3:59

is... kumbaya and all you have to do

4:01

is meditate for peace. That's

4:04

bullshit. And I don't

4:06

support that. And I don't support this constant

4:09

oppression Olympics and

4:12

you know, who's

4:15

been wronged the most throughout history.

4:17

It's do the next right

4:19

thing now. Regardless,

4:22

a good person does the right thing

4:24

regardless. It doesn't matter how

4:26

someone else behaves to you, you're

4:28

accountable to yourself. And those

4:30

are my principles. So with

4:33

that being said, I found a great example.

4:35

I should say my husband found a great

4:37

example last night on the couch. He of

4:39

this post, this is not

4:41

the guest, by the way, this is this person.

4:44

I don't know this person never was scheduled to

4:46

never will be scheduled, but this

4:48

is what's wrong with the spiritual

4:50

space summed up in one

4:52

clip. And I'm not just picking on him

4:54

right there are endless examples of content just

4:56

like this out. So we're going to roll

4:58

that footage and then we'll break it down.

5:02

I'd love to know what you think,

5:04

right? I'm always open to feedback. I'm

5:06

always entertaining the possibility that I am

5:08

wrong. My opinion is wrong. I'm open

5:10

to that feedback. So please let me know what

5:12

you think, but let's open up that clip. Let's

5:14

play it. And then we'll get into why

5:17

I've got so many opinions about it. I

5:19

think one on one. So I

5:22

put out a video the other day

5:24

around this Israeli and Hamas war, and

5:26

it was really talking about how we

5:28

can go within and become wildly energetic

5:30

within ourselves between the divine, feminine and

5:32

masculine aspects of ourselves, the energy around

5:34

us to be able to really start

5:36

stepping into a different lens of abundance.

5:38

Somebody then jumped on the comments and

5:40

said, you're totally spiritual bypassing this entire

5:42

thing. And it really had me go

5:44

within to think about what is this

5:46

actually spiritual bypassing? What does that specifically

5:49

mean? And maybe it was, I don't know. But

5:51

the one thing that I did

5:53

recognize within that opportunity is the fact that

5:55

when we go into our hearts and we

5:58

set our intentions and we start to. Life

8:01

is evil. What

8:03

they did on October 7th was evil. And

8:06

we have become so detached

8:08

and so worried of any

8:10

kind of feedback from

8:13

anyone. Like how dare you, your

8:15

opinion, you don't know. It's

8:17

complicated. It's not complicated. It's

8:20

not complicated. There is endless footage that they

8:22

want you to see. They filmed it and

8:24

released it with the intention of showing you

8:26

how evil this could be. Right?

8:29

There's no hiding. They don't want to. They don't

8:32

think there's anything wrong with anything that they did.

8:34

So go ahead, go watch all of that footage

8:36

and try to come up with an it's complicated

8:38

justification for any of that. There's

8:40

not one. Oh, they're backed into a wall. No.

8:44

No, no, no, no, no. Just simply no. So

8:48

this whole moral equivalency

8:51

is trash. And I think

8:53

people are doing it. Some people

8:56

probably believe it. I think other people are

8:58

also doing it as a virtue signal. I

9:00

am so enlightened that everything is the same.

9:02

All people are the same. We all want to

9:04

take care of our children. We all want to

9:06

make sure that they have a better life than

9:08

we did, that they have clean drinking water, that

9:10

they stay warm and fed, that we can build

9:13

the infrastructure. We know that's not true. Right.

9:15

Hamas has had billions of dollars that they

9:18

have taken from their people to spend

9:20

on terrorism. So

9:23

not all people have the same values. And

9:25

we need to look at people who have an

9:28

utter disregard for life, for

9:30

children, for sovereignty, for freedom, and

9:32

maybe not tolerate that because

9:34

they're sure not tolerating this. Another

9:39

issue is this idea of our truth, my

9:41

truth that was said a couple of times

9:43

in the video, this detachment from a universal

9:45

truth. And they'll try to use quantum physics

9:47

to say, well, if you look at split

9:49

theory or quantum entanglement, everyone has a different

9:52

reality. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Bring it

9:54

back down, ground yourself a little bit. We

9:56

can both look at this curtain and say,

9:58

well, I'm going to do this. say

10:00

it's green, right? You might have

10:02

a different shade than I do. We need to

10:04

be able to say this curtain is green. We

10:07

need to be able to recognize evil for the

10:09

obvious atrocity that it is and

10:11

call it for what it is and not be

10:13

scared to hurt feelings. So yeah, I

10:16

have no patience for anyone that's sympathizing

10:19

with evil, that's sympathizing with terrorism, that's

10:21

sympathizing with anyone that supports those ideologies.

10:23

And I'm not saying every single Palestinian

10:26

is a terrorist. It's not what I'm

10:28

saying before anyone jumps to that into

10:31

the comments or says that every Palestinian

10:33

or every Arab is supporting Hamas. Obviously

10:35

I know that that's not true. But

10:38

what I am saying is that there

10:40

is a vast difference between people that

10:42

are intentionally trying to save lives by

10:45

sending out notice, by getting thousands of

10:47

women and children out before they do any

10:49

attack versus other people that are quite literally

10:52

using people as human shields. There's

10:54

a difference. If you can't see

10:56

that difference, then that's really alarming.

10:58

And I don't even know if you can come back from that. I

11:01

don't know if you can come back from that. I don't even know

11:03

if anyone's home if that's your perspective, if you think that those two

11:06

things are the same. So I'm exhausted

11:08

with the spiritual community. I need more

11:10

people to stop

11:13

caring about the comment section, to

11:15

stop caring about offending someone, especially

11:18

when we're talking about good and evil. There

11:23

is no transcending the human condition. I think

11:26

you came here for a reason to have

11:29

this human experience. And

11:32

what I consider spiritual bypassing is

11:34

bypassing the human experience. It's the

11:36

same thing. So

11:38

to stop denying humanity

11:41

and all of its ugliness and

11:45

to do the right thing. Do

11:47

the right thing when it's unpopular. That's

11:50

the only time that it matters. It's very

11:52

easy when the quote right thing

11:56

is an alignment with group think. But for

11:58

some reason, when it comes to to

12:00

the Jewish community. They're

12:02

just allowed to be violated. They're

12:05

allowed to have people call for

12:07

them to be exterminated. They're allowed

12:09

to have their women raped, their

12:12

children killed, and they're expected to

12:14

not do anything. Don't retaliate. You

12:17

deserved it. How

12:20

does that make sense? Yeah,

12:25

so enough with the bypassing. Thanks

12:28

everybody. I'll

12:32

see you next week. Maybe we'll do another solo.

12:34

We'll see.
