@ReubenLangdon That is hilarious! And in the emerging world of Flock cameras we now get to experience what it is like to be camouflaged like the Predator.
The longer I coach, the more I’m convinced that it’s mostly about putting people in a place where they can perform out of joy, curiosity, exploring their potential, and taking on a challenge.
Too often we let fear, protecting our self or our ego take over.

Had a lot of fun hanging out with my buddy Faust on his podcast talking about how I got involved with ETs and making my show Interview with E.D. Part 1 of 2 https://t.co/0nmOS28eoO
There is a lot within this framework in how we operate in the world. The more you learn the more you realize you are magnetic. Which is why inner work is crucial. Something akin to Vadim Zelands reality transurfing.
History doesn’t remember people.
It remembers caricatures.
Take Franz Anton Mesmer.
Today, his name survives mainly through the word mesmerized, often used as shorthand for hypnosis, pseudoscience, or a strange idea that failed to survive the march of modern science.
But the word itself reveals something interesting.
Originally, to be mesmerized meant to be influenced by Mesmer’s methods or placed into a trance-like state.
Over time, the meaning drifted.
Today, if someone says, “I was mesmerized by the sunset,” they simply mean they were captivated, absorbed, or spellbound.
And here’s the irony:
Mesmer never used the word hypnosis.
That term was introduced decades later by the Scottish physician James Braid, who accepted that trance-like states were real.
Braid coined hypnotism from the Greek hypnos, meaning “sleep.”
The word survived.
The man became a caricature.
That happens more often than we realize.
Mesmer wasn’t a stage hypnotist.
He was an 18th-century physician educated in Vienna, one of Europe’s leading intellectual centers.
His doctoral thesis explored the influence of cosmic and magnetic forces on the human body.
It sounds bizarre today, but it was an idea discussed seriously within portions of the scientific framework of his time.
Mesmer believed that living beings existed within a subtle field of influences flowing between the heavens, the Earth, and the human body.
He called it animal magnetism.
Today, it is easy to assume “animal” meant beastly, primitive, or irrational.
But in Mesmer’s era, animal simply meant animated... something alive.
So he wasn’t describing “animal magnetism” in the modern sense.
He was describing an animating magnetism: a force associated with life itself.

I have been fortunate to work with some elite performers. Almost all (me too) had mentors or teachers. They had the humility to know they don’t know everything. We do all have blind spots. Someone who can show you a clear mirror is valuable. Appreciate the sentiment below 👇
No matter how far you go on any path, you will never outgrow the need for a mentor. One of the greatest dangers is believing you’ve reached a point where you no longer need correction. We all have blind spots. We all have habits and assumptions that become invisible to us because we’re the ones carrying them. A good teacher sees what you can’t see, challenges the stories you tell yourself, and prevents you from mistaking familiarity for mastery.
I’ve spent decades training in different traditions, and one thing has become more obvious with time: the deeper you go, the more valuable guidance becomes. A true mentor doesn’t create dependence or ask to be worshipped. They hold up a mirror. They call you out when your ego quietly takes the driver’s seat, and they keep you moving when you’ve convinced yourself you’ve already arrived. If you think you’ve reached the point where no one has anything left to teach you, that’s probably the moment you need a mentor the most.
