Ep 377: Throwback to Ep75: Why Changing Your Mindset Never Works Mar 27, 2025

Show notes

If you’re like just about every person on the planet you’ve wanted something different in your life and you’ve tried to “change your mindset” to create new things in life, right?

And, if you’re like most of the planet, a few days later you’ve found yourself right back in your old patterns and ways.

Why does this happen?

Easy, “changing your mindset” does not work. It’s a left-brain process and behavior and habits come from a different part of the brain, the reptilian brain…so, when trying to think our way to change we have two parts of our brain at odds and the reptilian brain will dominate and always win!

In this episode I talk about why changing your mindset never works and I give you a path to what works and what to do instead.

Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Transformational Takeaway

Changing mindset does not work - changing identity and habits does

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim finally answers one of the most frequently asked questions: Who is Don Xavier, the shaman? For years, Jim has referenced Don Xavier in passing, but he’s never fully shared his story—until now. In this deeply personal episode, Jim reveals how he met Don Xavier, the profound impact he has had on his life, and the powerful spiritual wisdom he has shared over the decades.

Jim takes listeners behind the scenes, offering an inside look into Don Xavier’s journey, from his early apprenticeship with Don Juan Matus to his work as a shaman and healer. He also shares his own experiences, including remarkable moments of transformation, dreamtime teachings, and lessons about merging with higher consciousness.

If you've ever been curious about the man behind the wisdom that has shaped so much of Jim's teachings, this episode is a must-listen.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

Who is Don Xavier? (00:55) – A closer look at his background and how he became a shaman.
Jim’s first meeting with Don Xavier (10:20) – How skepticism turned into a life-changing journey.
The teachings of Don Juan Matus (18:45) – The connection between Don Xavier, Carlos Castaneda, and ancient Toltec wisdom.

Our 3D reality is a limitation created by the analytical mind. True transformation begins when we let go of rigid thinking and merge with the infinite wisdom that exists beyond our logical understanding. The path to deeper awareness starts with humility, trust, and opening the heart to possibilities we cannot yet explain.

Ep 375: Throwback to Ep13: The Master Key To Everything You Want In Life Is In This Episode Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

If you’ve read all the books, been to all the seminars, followed all the gurus and you still don’t have what you want in life it’s because you’ve not learned to master your attention – it’s the Master Key in life.

The definition of ATTENTION IS: the act or state of applying the mind to something. Attention filters into every single aspect of your life: Health, money, happiness, marriage, relationships and every other aspect of your life. If you find yourself somewhere that you don’t want to be in life it’s because that’s “where your attention is.” Want something different, then move your attention.

In this episode I talk about mastering attention and how that applies to health, wealth and happiness.

And, I talk about how MOST people keep their attention in the past and future and very few people live in the present moment. I also give you an example of how most are trapped in the past and future and don’t live from and for NOW.

If you want more in life then listen to this episode and start to work on mastering your attention. You’ll be glad you did.

Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Transformational Takeaway

You are where your attention is.

Ep 374: The Human Context of Your Life Mar 18, 2025

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim explores the fundamental idea that everything in life happens within the context of what we assume to be true. He introduces the concept of "the human context" and challenges listeners to shift to a higher frame of reference. By recognizing that we are in this world but not of this world, we gain freedom from limiting beliefs and self-imposed constraints.

Diving deeper, Jim discusses how our subconscious identity shapes our life experiences. He shares personal anecdotes, including a powerful metaphor about life being like a rental car, emphasizing the temporary nature of our physical existence. Through this lens, he encourages listeners to rethink their attachments, step out of limiting human identity, and embrace a higher consciousness.

If you're ready to break free from the lower-frequency identity that keeps you stuck, this episode will open your eyes to a profound shift in perspective.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

The Power of Assumptions (01:45) – How our life experiences are shaped by the unconscious assumptions we hold.
The Rental Car Metaphor (07:12) – A simple yet profound analogy that changes how you see your physical existence.
Being in This World, But Not of It (14:30) – Understanding why your true essence transcends human experience.
Releasing the Old Identity (21:05) – How detaching from past narratives can create space for transformation.
How External Context Drains You (30:40) – The energetic cost of consuming news, social media, and other distractions.
A 30-Day Detox Challenge (38:50) – A practical exercise to help reclaim your power and shift your awareness.

Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Transformational Takeaway

Your power lies beyond the tangible world. When you recognize that you are not merely your human identity but a part of something infinite, you free yourself from the limitations of fear, scarcity, and external control. Shift your focus inward, release attachment to the human context, and embrace the limitless potential of your true essence.

Ep 373: Throwback to Ep8: Reprogramming Your Subconscious Mind For Health, Wealth And Happiness Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

Everyone knows and I know that you know you have what people call a subconscious or unconscious mind. Less than one percent of people know how to use this part of your mind. And this part of your mind pretty much controls every bit of your life.

If you're not making the kind of money that you want to make or you don't have the health that you want or the relationships or the body or money or whatever it is… the reason you do not have all of that is because everything that you have in your external life is a reflection of what you hold in your unconscious paradigms.

The big mistake that everyone makes is that they try to change something in their behavior. They try to change something in their external world never recognizing that their entire external world is created and driven and perpetuated by their internal world.

Stop trying to DO things to make it happen and start BECOMING. In this podcast episode you're going to start learning about the unconscious mind and you're going to start learning about how you can use this part of your mind to create anything that you want.

In this episode I discuss:

The big mistake people make when trying to change

Why people who read “Think and Grow Rich” don’t get rich

How to use repetition and programming to change your identity

Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Transformational Takeaway

When you change your subconscious paradigms your external world changes automatically. So stop trying to DO things to make it happen and start BECOMING.
