Overview

MetallicMan kicks off his discussion by addressing a common issue faced by many of his followers: the lack of perceived results from affirmations. He emphasizes that changes in life, akin to monumental achievements such as earning a degree or becoming an elite soldier, require committed effort and time. He draws from his experiences and likens initial affirmation efforts to overcoming inertia, a concept familiar to anyone who’s had to push a stalled vehicle. This slow buildup is normal and intrinsic to achieving long-term results.

Throughout the video, MetallicMan talks about the significance of expressing affirmations in present tense versus future tense. By stating affirmations in the present, the desires are drawn into immediacy rather than being perpetually positioned in the future, out of reach. He stresses that while vocalizing desires can eventually bring long-term impacts on one's quality of life, this process isn't instant and depends heavily on the sincerity of intent, the positivity of one’s environment, and the clarity of goals.

MetallicMan concludes by reflecting on his personal stories of affirmation success and failure, which highlighted unexpected outcomes and reinforced the importance of aligning current realities with future aspirations. He advises to keep desires simple, combine them with immediately attainable goals, and use affirmations as a life-long tool to guide and adjust one's life path. With a caution against expecting Hollywood-style results, he encourages patience, resilience, and a genuine belief in the power of one's thoughts and spoken words.

• 00:00 - 00:30 good morning everybody I hope this video finds you well today in this video I just want to address about expectations I've written many things and I've got a lot of people who avidly read what I read what I write and um a lot of them uh try to do things and it
• 00:30 - 01:00 just doesn't seem to be working and this morning I got in an email from a guy who I've been he's a follower and he sent me numerous emails and I have a lot of respect for him but you know he's saying he's saying you know he's doing the affirmation he's running a 3-4 he's not seeing any results he volunteered for domain but he's not experiencing anything in his life it just seems like it's the same old same old he's saying what is he doing wrong
• 01:00 - 01:30 I don't know but what I can do is I can tell you my experiences okay and maybe you all can figure out what's going on the first thing I have to tell you the first thing I have to say is Meaningful change takes time
• 01:30 - 02:00 you don't just get a college degree by filling a signing up a form and you they hand you a diploma you don't become a a seal a U.S Navy SEAL by uh pledging your life for the United States government and then they give you a uniform and then you start swimming you have to rise to that point and training alone
• 02:00 - 02:30 isn't it you have to have some excursions under your belt so uh what's going on for those of you who are doing fade forecasting and doing your affirmation campaigns or you have uh requested assistance from domain or you can't even communicate it all to your mantet what is going on and I want to talk about that
• 02:30 - 03:00 now I've got to tell you guys um I've been doing uh affirmation campaigns for a long time because I needed to do it out of necessity or else I would go batshit crazy because of my anchoring role within Majestic my reality was constantly changing I had to vocalize what I wanted to happen when I vocalized things things became mitigated much better than
• 03:00 - 03:30 what they were beforehand and so over a period of time I I came to realize that vocalizations cause long-term impacts on your quality of life vocalizations cause long-term impacts on your quality of life and it takes a while things aren't long and it depends if you're sitting in a mud style a pigsty
• 03:30 - 04:00 covered in mud and pigs are honking around oinking around you and you are just in misery because it stinks and you're uncomfortable and it's cold and wet and muddy and you went out of there and you're saying I want out of here I want out of here and you're not seeing anything you have to um make sure you're doing things the proper way one of the big mistakes people make when they do an affirmation campaign if they don't
• 04:00 - 04:30 do it in present tense they say things like someday I will be rich or there will come a time in the future when I will meet this girl of my dreams or if you're a woman this guy of my dreams you're always putting things out there in the future somewhere
• 04:30 - 05:00 and that's exactly what happens they're out there in the future you're always getting closer but it's always just out of your reach like a carrot dangling in front of the Donkey for those of you who know the Little Rascals or our gang right that's what I'm referring to the carrot stick that's dangling in front of the Donkey another thing you have to keep in mind is the greater your desires the further off they are you
• 05:00 - 05:30 you have to mix up your affirmations with uh some immediately attainable things we call those telltales so you can see if something's working or not um I'm absolutely I am absolutely convinced all this works um everything from living with a beautiful gorgeous blonde model to uh
• 05:30 - 06:00 uh living in a penthouse on the beach to having billions of dollars of access it all came true my utmost outrageous requests came true but with each outrageous requests came negatives uh and uh some of those could be pretty
• 06:00 - 06:30 steep so you have to watch it that's why I always say keep things simple keep things simple now if you are convinced that the affirmation plan prayer campaigns don't work then I recommend that you stop doing them not just for for four months maybe even longer give yourself a year then try up again so a really long period of time
• 06:30 - 07:00 then see what happens you might be surprised I also have to tell you that some of my affirmations did not come come come true I I'm kind of flummoxed sure I can get billions of dollars here on this easy little affirmation but this other thing that I want isn't happening why
• 07:00 - 07:30 it seems like this one would be easier to get there's something missing now that's a personal thing that I have to deal with and I haven't no answers okay I know that there's physical Trends and event sequences that are going on that and prior belief thoughts that I had and statements I made that is preventing the manifestation of some of these things yeah what you wanted what you verbalized back
• 07:30 - 08:00 when you were seven years old affects you today so you have to make sure that you didn't do any interruptive stuff as well as the the potential of people putting curses and hexes on you which really disrupts everything that is also a reality if you are surrounded by negative people or work in a nugget of place your affirmations aren't going to do jack because the the forces of negativity is just too much you are
• 08:00 - 08:30 saturated you may want to fly a plane but if that plane is encased in cement it ain't going anywhere okay now for whatever it's worth my affirmation campaigns work but I have to tell you when I first started doing them they didn't seem to work very much in fact it took between three or four
• 08:30 - 09:00 years not months years for some of these things to manifest and then over time the amount of time got shorter and shorter and shorter because I had been doing it for such a long period of time so if you just started and you just landed on your feet right now and you are just getting started right now with these affirmations and they're not manifesting I say slow down guys you are making a radical change in your
• 09:00 - 09:30 life right now going from no affirmations to making affirmations you're doing it but your body is still moving forward in the no affirmations phase okay it's called inertia it's like this have you ever tried getting out of your car to push it they put your the car isn't working you it died you got to push it off the road now you put your car in neutral and you
• 09:30 - 10:00 get out pushing it when you first start pushing it it is difficult ah but after you get it rolling it's not so hard right it's called inertia resistance to change so all your life you got this big balloon of inertia this big rock okay doing affirmations is you're starting to move it it's starting to move but until you start doing sequences of
• 10:00 - 10:30 affirmations it's not going to start a rolling you have to counteract your initial inertia before things will start happening now for some people it happens pretty quickly but for many people it doesn't it didn't happen quickly for me like I said three to four years [Music] but then by doing things on and off and on and off and on and off they all happened um and I've talked before about trade-offs I keep on wanting to mention
• 10:30 - 11:00 here about my penthouse yeah so here I am I wanted a penthouse on the beach you know uh like Miami Vice style for those of you who lived through the 1980s and 1990s you know Miami Vice was the cool show you know where they're driving Ferraris and and Lamborghinis and uh and they're they're doing with mob bosses and cocaine everywhere and and tubs and they've got the uh the cool ass
• 11:00 - 11:30 clothes into a a cool 1980s pop soundtrack you know and they're shooting guns and I can and I could feel it happening in the air tonight as they're shooting and I was like I want I want that that nice bow s nice houses and one of the things I wanted was you know a penthouse okay
• 11:30 - 12:00 that was in the 1980s 90s early 1900s I got it uh I my first house on the beach was 2018. and then I moved into a penthouse no this is 2016 I moved into a penthouse in 2019.
• 12:00 - 12:30 and uh Penthouse is basically the top floor in China there's all these big skyscrapers here okay so I got the top floor I did have my own elevator I had a shared elevator but nobody else is going up there because I was the only one who lived on that floor so I I'm at the topmost floor I'm the only one who's living there the elevators go up to it but nobody else gets off because I'm the only one who lives up there big place great ocean view I think I've
• 12:30 - 13:00 showed some of you my pictures in the view from the place and uh everybody the occasioners would come out there and hang on the beach and I could look watch them if I wanted to okay now the reality okay so let me go back here how long did it take nearly 35 40 years that's how long it took a lot of back and forth and a lot of stuff but it did happen
• 13:00 - 13:30 but it was a big change from living in a trailer park in a Mobile Home in a Trailer Park living in a 15 year old Mobile Home in a Trailer Park big change you have to to get to your dreams it takes time and it takes concerted effort don't think it's just going to happen automatically now I did get it and after spending a couple years there I said no way and I moved out because let me tell you what it's like
• 13:30 - 14:00 do you know what happens the Sun beats on the top yeah if you're living in a tropical area like this open the window for a breeze yeah you get a great Breeze with a lot of dirt and sand the house is perpetually Dusty and because of the nice beautiful ocean breezes everything rusts
• 14:00 - 14:30 silverware by the sink all resting silverware all rusting even though it's stainless steel all rusting didn't think about that when I made these affirmations didn't think about that when I achieved my goals and my desires I wanted that lifestyle well I didn't have that lifestyle I had a little bit I I ended up having metallic man lifestyle
• 14:30 - 15:00 in that place because I Hollywood is a fiction Hollywood is a fiction it's a fiction it's nice to to desire that but you want something that makes you happy anyways nobody's gonna find a couple how three or four houses doesn't matter guys doesn't matter the point that I'm trying to make here is that your desires and your affirmations will come true but
• 15:00 - 15:30 how long it takes depends on a lot of factors and so you've got to be careful now I have also had other affirmations manifest in different ways different ways okay and um
• 15:30 - 16:00 some of it's actually comical I blame my Manta GP for that stuff whether I have a manta GP I'm still I'm still debating upon that I I'm I'm like some kind of hybrid Frankenstein Appliance kind of thing you do so I I don't even know what I got it doesn't really matter to me I'll find out when I die but um but the important thing here for you guys is to understand that
• 16:00 - 16:30 real life is not fast okay it doesn't go that fast it goes slow and if it goes slow you can make a course Corrections that's a good thing remember it's the journey not the destination blah blah blah blah blah you probably heard that too so look I uh con uh you continue doing your affirmation campaigns do three four campaigns that seems to work really good with me remember that you have to overcome inertia first
• 16:30 - 17:00 before they start rolling that may take a year or two before you overcome that inertia it depends on the amount of inertia you had remember friends and family environment and geography will play a role in your inertia that you have to overcome if you have particularly negative spouse or friends that is going to be something you're going to need to overcome because their influences are like tentacles
• 17:00 - 17:30 holding you down don't let it don't let it um I do my affirmation campaigns I was reading my affirmations today this was um this is going to be my last week of my uh three month affirmation campaigns I'm going to stop here say Friday or Saturday maybe a little earlier maybe a little later I don't really care it's not critical and by the way one more thing um turning
• 17:30 - 18:00 about affirmations if you can't do your affirmations daily uh there's an emergency or in a hospital life is crazy you get up early you work all day and then you're you sleep you don't have time for affirmations that's okay affirmations can be considered to be like a job you do them uh five days out of the week and then you have a two day rest if you're comfortable with that when a holiday comes you don't do your
• 18:00 - 18:30 affirmations okay just think of it like a regular work routine there's exceptions to everything you want to do affirmations you want to take your time reading your affirmations but if life comes in and interrupts it don't lose sleep over it it's okay it's normal in general there's many mechanisms that uh these affirmations uh appeal upon but primarily it is consciousness generating
• 18:30 - 19:00 thoughts and vocalizing those thoughts within a physical environment so a container physical container resonating to our thoughts causing a new Vector change on what will happen in your reality you can use different models you don't have to use a topographical template that's my methodology there's other ones okay my mother believed in Seth and there's
• 19:00 - 19:30 other people who follow um the enlightened ones and other people follow white hat black hats and all kinds of stuff I don't know what this what the elf is it's not for me this is what works for me I think if you're going to get involved in any kind of cult or any kind of belief system you gotta have something tangible popping out in front of you or else you're not going to believe it okay okay um
• 19:30 - 20:00 so what I do is I have a list I keep a list of my affirmations that have come true I put them at the bar my affirmation list and I'm constantly adding to them one of my affirmations come true I then take it out of my spreadsheet move it to the very bottom and color it green on the list so whenever I start doubting myself and people as humans you will doubt yourself you'll go back to that list and you'll
• 20:00 - 20:30 be like oh I forgot about that other than that yeah that came true seriously some of the things that I wished for was near impossible to occur there's no way they would have occurred I would give them less than a five percent chance of it actually occurring and it did occur my affirmations manifested exactly as I said that underlines to me personally that it
• 20:30 - 21:00 works so this system works for me whether it works for you is up to other things but I can tell you that everything is about except understanding what the system is and then running with the system with a long-term repeatability you just do it you just do it how do you get rich selling apples you sell them every single day okay rain or shine
• 21:00 - 21:30 that will occur Stop Believing the people who says I could be another Steve Jobs you could be another Steve Jobs too you can be the best you can be but you can't be somebody else so don't try Steve dry Steve Jobs died in his late 50s early 60s forget when he died 58 something like that
• 21:30 - 22:00 you really want to be like him okay Humphrey Bogart died in his late 40s you really want to be like that do you want to live till you're like 140 I don't but I don't want to uh I want to live a good full life and then when it's about time to go I just kind of go I don't go to a home where people like visit me
• 22:00 - 22:30 once a month okay here you go let me see they water in the plants here okay good okay bye-bye that I don't want either okay okay you have to Define your life on your terms and that's what affirmation campaigns are about let's talk about something about something so if you don't think they're working they probably won't work your thoughts are what cause things to happen if you
• 22:30 - 23:00 have doubts and you're saying I don't think they're working it doesn't seem to be working you know I I asked I asked to uh marry this I asked to meet this big Buxom woman who's the woman of my dreams that that meets me in her Lamborghini and whistling off to her Penthouse and it didn't happen yet it's like it might happen in about 50 years
• 23:00 - 23:30 be patient but in the meantime if you say you know my favorite foods I eat my favorite foods all the time that's more attainable isn't it let's talk here a little bit about domain and other commitments okay yeah we can talk about domain
• 23:30 - 24:00 um you volunteer for domain doesn't mean that you're going to see much of anything you may not even experience anything most of what people experience in their non-physical bodies are completely isolated between your consciousness in other words they turn off your Consciousness do the changes okay
• 24:00 - 24:30 and you don't know anything that's going on there's a reason for that if they turn on the Consciousness and allow you to participate you will probably the fear snares will will arise and you'll start having terrible terrible nightmares and you will be freaking out really really bad so there's it doesn't mean just because you're not experiencing something doesn't mean things aren't happening okay right now I'm going to use geopolitical
• 24:30 - 25:00 reference right now the SEO is binding a gas line between Russia and a number of the stands to include China right now they're doing it they're building it there's guys bolting pipes together and all kinds of stuff you're unaware of it does it mean that that's not going on no of course it's going on but you're not aware of it why aren't
• 25:00 - 25:30 you aware of it well the news isn't reporting it exactly that's the situation the domain when you need to know something and participate in something it will be presented to you if you don't need to know about it you don't worry about it okay all you need to know is when it comes time for you to die you start screaming for domain you start screaming for your manted whether it's guardian angel or whatever
• 25:30 - 26:00 and you start screaming if you're associated with other people you start screaming for your friends if you have some passed on kitty cats scream for them too it'll make you feel a lot better to have your little buddies hanging out with so keep that in mind okay don't freak out about anything it's not all that bad you know

• 28:00 - 28:30 because yearning and desire are Amplified by vocalization you get the stuff you want or at least the stuff you think you want some of these things you must have they're musts and when they come you're fine with it and as I said always when you're doing your affirmations the things you like in your life and you want them to stay you

• 29:30 - 30:00 good things will come you do affirmation campaigns you volunteer to be domain and you become Rufus life act like actions and things should be fine if you however aren't sincere in what you want and who you are the kinds of events that will occur may not necessarily come your way
