Sometimes things are not funny. I get it. Sometimes you don’t just have to laugh. Sometimes I keep my funny thoughts in my thinking. When people aren’t ready to laugh the last thing they need is for anyone to force what they think is a funny on them. How do you know when to do this? It begins with this. YOU HAVE TO KNOW THEM.

628. Is being grateful and thankful the same thing? Yes and it's all about appreciation. And David proves it with a favorable eye.
You Just Have To Laugh – meets judgement with a favorable eye. Being both thankful and grateful are interchangeable with one another and are simply expressions of appreciation. Thankful is an expression of gratitude. Gratitude is the thought of appreciation. So let’s flip that around. Gratitude is an expression of thankfulness. Thankfulness is the thought of appreciation. You humble host, David Naster, breaks this all down and looking at any situation with a favorable eye helps get through any negativity or unpleasantness.

604. Vision can be fooled, but not what you hear. David explains why the YJHTL podcasts are audio only.
Seeing can trick you. Your hearing can’t, because hearing translates to thought. Seeing translates to a different filtering system. It can be deceiving, that’s how magicians make a living. When we listen to each other and hear a truth, it resonates in our thinking - it permeates every fiber of our being. That is why listening commits more to the divine truth than seeing. That is why I don’t have a visual podcast. Seeing disrupts truly listening. When experiencing the meaning of words in the intellect then moving to an emotional response - that heightens o...
