“Think it's different for every single person. It is being separate, being a real I, because we are spirit. Spirit is regressive. We are one. It's much harder to be a person, a person, and to then find your place where you both, where the world has needs what you want and you need what you're given. So find your place in the world, that wonderful exchange.”

“You know, the most important step is such a simple one, which is have goals. I start the prism by asking you to just define three goals. And then to document, you know, we live in this mishmash, like a stew that's been on the pot too long and you can't tell the carrots from the beef. It's really important to notice that out of the blue things, all of a sudden you see the same poster 20 times. What is it actually saying? The person pops into your head that you haven't thought about in 10 years. Do something about it. It's not about thinking differently, knowing yourself differently. It's about doing one little thing differently and it can change your entire life. A miracle does take a moment.”

“Is interpersonally, if you deal with voice there, you'll also be able to deal with voice in that other situation which will take you to your fourth ego center of value and being valued and having dignity because you do know how to deal with grief. And it's often, it's interesting when we deal with that grief, how sometimes what we're grieving comes back to us. But valuing ourselves is really important. And I think I agree with you, Oprah, the best way to honor all those people in your history is to live your life.”

“Before you address that, I would get in touch with the headhunter. But I think you should also notice in every place in your life, including in like making dinner, where can you exercise your leadership? Because when you have that energy, it's interesting how those opportunities come to you. It's a kind of active telepathy in the world. It's what people call manifestation. I hate that word because it's a very magic word. But you make things happen by being what it is you're doing. So that's my suggestion.”

“Blows up, and you've got your answer right, but also by, because I do see ultimately you will be a leader, but don't be a leader by giving up your power. Be a leader within your power. So I bet you you can address this. You can keep what you're doing. You can be, believe me, you're a headhunter's dream. Headhunter's dream. I would actually get in touch with headhunters before you address, and we know what I'm talking about, right?”

“With everyone, but then when people don't converse in an appropriate way or respectful way and you are unable to use your leadership and your voice to correct that, I mean, that's like a porcupine in my hands. So my suggestion is that you A, address that conversation, address the other suggestions in the fifth ego center. Just pick one. And I always say, pick the one that doesn't, that makes you laugh. It's like, oh, really that? Because that's outside of the box of your prism that doesn't change, right? That one that you ridicule, as long as it's safe, that's the one to do. I also think, though, and I think you've already begun to do this, you should embrace leadership more, both by addressing the situation and take that risk. And if it blows up, it's...”

“Before I address your situation, I want to say the first thing you need to do just to heal at the Fifth Eco Center is you need to find a way to change the conversation. We don't leave those conversations. We're women, we're warriors. We change them. And you let a conversation go, which was not okay, should not be let go, and you actually can change it. So if you're going to take the risk, you take the risk first by changing that conversation. I think it is. So that's step one, okay? And you're going to do the fifth ego center in the book. Step two, fifth ego center still is, I agree with you that you are ready to embrace leadership with people that you want to be in conversation with. And you know, what's lovely about you is you are a leader and a teacher. You want to be in conversation.”

“Are able to accomplish things, your effect, but there is a way that you've adapted your voice, frankly in a way you didn't have to or you don't have to anymore, that doesn't sit right with you. And I think that this comes up as an issue. This came up as an issue in an interaction. I'm not good with time, but I think about four or five, six months ago, this came up as an issue which has galvanized this for you.”

“You know yourself so much better than you think. First of all, 40, I could have birthed you twice, but so I again, I don't hear the stories because of the way I process, but I looked at you in my way and I thought, this isn't a job. This isn't a decision about path or job or whatever. This is a decision and you named it. You're so intuitive. Trust yourself. And I don't believe in trust, but you have proof now. I'm about to give it to you. This is a fifth ego center issue, the issue of voice, conversation, and leadership. So the way, you know, we often foil ourselves by decisions. I think part of the problem, and I want to take this apart for you, part of the problem is on the job, you don't actually feel you have an authentic voice on the job. You have a voice.”

“Encourage Go You. I would do the first ego center, which is all about, am I in the right place with the right people, which not should I change the program, but literally in where you are right now, how do you finish your program in a way that edifies you, that makes you feel at home, how do you really use your power in different situations that are right in front of you? And how do you also use your discipline to work on what you think might be this dream or might be that dream? I wrote every book except for this one in one hour a day before my son woke up. You know, anything you want to do, you don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater to do it. This will be helpful to you in the future, but also changing it brings up a whole host of problems you don't need to deal with.”

“Using this as part of your bear's skin to make the rest of your life easier in what you want to do next? Absolutely. For some reason, I see you doing something very public. I see you in the public eye, not as what you would think a Harvard graduate does, but having a very public life, I think this gives you the gravitas and the structure to feel then like you can do that in a couple years. So that would be my gut. I think that if you don't do this, you will find, you know, I think a lot of this, it's more than just this question. You're questioning everything, you're questioning relationship, you're questioning what kind of family you want, you're questioning where you want to live. You're questioning maybe your old vision of certain people. There's a lot of questioning you're doing. And by the way, that's a sign of intelligence and...”

“But there's so much in you that's so vibrant and wants to explode it all. My sense is that this is a great impulse, a wrong interpretation. You are a structured person as much as you want to be free the one flying and dancing. You are a structured person. And that structure ultimately is going to give you the power to do whatever you want. I also, I think to not finish what you start is a very bad example for your energy. I think my gut is that finishing the program, it'll be over before you know it, finishing the program is something that's important to do. Do I see you doing this as part of your future? No. Do I see you being like the agent who went to law school but didn't become a lawyer?”

“So Again, this is one intuitive's experience. Never give your power away. When I look at your prism, I go right to your first ego center, the base of your spine. That is really, I think of it as welcome earthling. You are home. And what you get from it is power, but it references your structure. My sense is that you've kind of never felt you were home. You have so much drive and knowing and excitement that even with people you've loved and who've loved you, there's always been a little bit of standing out and feeling it wasn't okay to stand out. Like you want to be in the structure. You want to be, excuse this phrase, a good girl.”

“My suggestion to you is in everything, including your interaction with this person, your daughter, your whatever, get out of that paradigm, that thought paradigm. Where is the pleasure? Go toward the pleasure, healthy pleasure, you know. Go toward the pleasure, but also embrace that you've already, when I sense you intuitively, you love this person. You love your family. You care, but you have made this choice. So don't keep yourself stuck. And you don't have to do everything tomorrow. I sense you have a partner who's willing to work with you. They just don't want to be cast into the snow. So, you know, you'll work together and there'll be bumps. And I think he needs to find his ego center and he needs to find that for himself. And it shouldn't be attached to what you need from him because actually you don't need any of that.”

“to should I stay or should I go? To how do we evolve this relationship in a way that's supportive for this family we've put so much work into? And I would do the second egocenter and the second ego center is about one of the healings for the second ego center which will build abundance and build your creativity, your ability to take what you have and make what you want, which is what you want to do, is pleasure.”

“Not only okay, it's healthy, life-sustaining, and a very good example for your child. I don't think the issue is whether your intuition, intuition doesn't tell you. Intuition just gives you data. What you know is that you're done. And now how can you be done in a way that's nourishing? You don't have to sit in your grief. Let's make this into a goal, which is what the prism asks you to do, sitting in your grief just gives you more grief. What is the goal? You clearly value this person. You value your family. You value this relationship. You value also the support to be able to be a go-getter in the world. Like there are things also, if you think of them, and this I never do in public, if you think of them, there are things you value that you are getting. So what I would do is switch the target.”

“Before I speak, I want to say this is one intuitive's perception, and you should never give your power away to anybody. One of the ways I use the prism is I look at what is this really about and my sense is that what this is really about is that you want a passion, a creativity, you want the reward for your hard work and that it is really okay and sometimes very healing to be lovingly done and done because I see that at the second ego center right below your navel is nourishment, creativity and abundance. And I think that you are tired of wearing navy blue. You want to wear some pink. You want to dance in the tutu. You want to be alive. And that, by the way, is...”

“If your ego was properly formed, and that is true of some people, then you're resilient and you're adaptive. It doesn't mean bad things don't happen, but it means you bounce back because the parts of self know how to use what's around you. If it wasn't properly formed by age seven, then you need something outside of yourself to guide you. But the good news is not only can you choose, but because we are intricate systems within another intricate system of our world and relationships, a tiny little change, and I always use the red dress example since I wrote that article for you, just even wearing a color you never wear, a tiny little change changes the world's response to you and you change change is much easier than we think.”

“Yes, our ego is our structure. So our ego starts at conception with our genetics and our inutero experience. And you're locked and loaded by age seven. And your ego is anything that says I. I want, I love, I hate, I choose, I direct. So that structure that really is you, but also how you create your life, you can change that from the moment it's set and it is set at age seven. And that's developmental psychology. I didn't come up with that. Working with tens of thousands of students, I have observed that that is true. Sometimes we bump up against people and experiences that impact us in a way that causes change, like Dimitri dragging me on your show. And sometimes we are forced to look for it because something's missing in our lives.”

“I wrote the book in the comfort of my bed. What motivated me is you showed up at my door and put me on a plane and took me to Chicago and got makeup on me and you introduced me to this fabulous woman and you guys literally tag teamed me and it was amazing. But you knew that I was going to not just wither, but that I was not going to get my message out and also to be honest, I was going to lose my son if I didn't make a huge amount of money to be able to fight for his safety. You knew that intuitively. And so you made me do what I didn't have the vision to do for myself and made me not using that euphemistically. She literally made me.”

“But I also think that one of the ways that you're such a good example of the prism is that when you haven't been doing one thing, you've been doing another. You haven't neglected the prism of your life and your being, all of the different parts. So because you're public, and I know you very intimately, sometimes publicly they'll think, oh, what's she doing? Where did she go? It's been a while. But I know you're doing a million things you wanted to do. You needed to do. You had to show up for other people. And I think that that is such an important part of the prism. And part of the things that people don't see in celebrity, they see like when a magazine covers you are a movie comes out, but they don't see how much work and how much achievement you do and have done in so many other parts of your life, including a New York Times bestseller.”

“You and to me were a light in my prism. And that is why kindness is so important. That's why community is so important. We bump up against each other. And even if it's a hard bump, at least it shatters for a moment. Our old paradigm. And if your old paradigm isn't working for you, it's important to bump up into something new or you don't change. You do the same thing over and over and over again. You were my change and that book, first time book, became a bestseller, allowed me to pay for my custody battle of my beautiful 30-year-old son, you know, allowed me to buy back my home, you know, really and have a voice in the world and be able to offer something to others.”

What Demi did for me in dragging me. Literally, she dragged me to your show. And you, you aren't going to remember this, but I was shaking like a leaf. And what you didn't know was I was in the middle of a terrible custody battle with no skills because I had been 16 when I met my husband. So I was shaking like a leaf.

So I have to really work hard to enjoy the pleasure of being in this interview with you And seeing you after all this time. But in a second, if you asked me a question, my attention would go there, no matter where it was in time or who it was about, and I'd be able to get all of this information. It didn't help me in life. I mean, my brother, who's dead, graduated from Harvard and Stanford and UVA all with degrees. I mean, he was the most brilliant math student at Stuyveson, a school we all went to that's math and science. He wasn't able to move out of his reality. And I think that that's true of many of us. Some of it, it really is the pathology being my potential, the fact that I can be not present. I don't have a solid prism in the moment, a solid eye.”

So the way that the human mind can travel into another person in time, in space, go into the future, they were interested in how the mind works and also how healing works, how focusing on something physical can change it. It started in Italy. It started with a man named Bruno Del Rosso, and he gathered a whole bunch of other people and then word got around and I was kind of passed around because I was in my early 20s and didn't really have a life unlike the cold thing.”
