The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now

In this episode, Your Belief and the Problem Is The Problem, Jim Fortin challenges one of the most deeply ingrained assumptions in personal growth—that problems are something to be fixed. Drawing from shamanic wisdom, neuroscience, and lived experience, Jim reveals that what we call “problems” are often creations of the ego, sustained by the belief that something is wrong in the first place. When identity is rooted in the ego, struggle feels real and persistent—but when awareness shifts, problems lose their power.

Jim goes deeper into how focusing on healing, money, love, or solutions can actually reinforce the very conditions people want to escape. He explains why techniques, hustling, and even prayer can unintentionally affirm lack, separation, and struggle when they come from ego-based identity. Instead, Jim invites listeners to recognize themselves as consciousness first—and to allow universal intelligence to work through them rather than forcing outcomes through effort.

If you’ve been working hard to “solve” your life but still feel stuck, this episode offers a powerful reframing that can change how you experience challenges altogether.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

(02:01) Why believing you have a problem is often the real problem Jim explains how problems exist primarily because the ego believes they do. 

(06:45) How focusing on healing, money, or love can reinforce lack Learn why trying to fix conditions from ego-based identity keeps them alive. 

(11:58) Why prayer, visualization, and techniques can backfire Discover how effort-based approaches affirm separation from Source. 

(17:01) The identity shift from ego to consciousness Jim breaks down the difference between having consciousness and being consciousness. 

(23:45) Why stopping the struggle allows life to realign Understand how silence, presence, and service open the door to effortless change. 

(32:55) A simple sentence that dissolves ego-based problems Jim shares a practical way to separate who you are from what you’re experiencing. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

The moment you stop identifying as the condition and recognize yourself as the one experiencing it, everything changes. Problems don’t disappear because you fix them—they dissolve when you stop feeding them with belief, fear, and effort. When you shift from ego to consciousness, life no longer pushes against you. It moves with you. Let go of the struggle, return to awareness, and allow transformation to unfold naturally.

We’ve all heard it before, “Wow, that blows my mind, it’s mind boggling.”

The truth is this, anything mind boggling is something that simply exists outside your personal model of reality.

We humans work from tiny models of reality and most of us stay trapped in our small models of the world.

St. Germain said, “If humans knew how the laws of the universe worked they’d cease to believe in miracles.”

When we learn to think outside our models of reality, life opens up for us.In this episode I talk about:[9:13] The importance of stopping internal dialog[9:45] Why “100% Possible – 100% Of The Time” is liberating[10:50] How your entire world is a 3D interpretation[13:00] How you give up your true power when you’re born[15:25] Why when you “stop thinking” you become pure possibility[25:05] Why working from evidence is a trap

And, as you know, I tend to cover a lot of ancillary ideas in each episode.

If you’re wanting to stop working from circumstances you’re probably going to really like this episode.

In this powerful first installment of a two-part mini-series, Jim Fortin explores one of the deepest causes of human suffering: the illusion of identity. He explains how most people unknowingly live from a limited, ego-based sense of self—and how this illusion quietly shapes fear, lack, struggle, and disconnection. Jim begins guiding listeners toward a more profound understanding of who they truly are beyond the human identity they’ve learned to accept as “self.”

Jim goes deeper into what it means to be consciousness having a human experience, rather than a human trying to become spiritual. He breaks down how identifying with the 3D ego creates separation from inner power, and why most problems don’t need to be solved—but seen through. Listeners are invited to shift from operating inside the illusion to recognizing the awareness behind it, where true transformation begins.

This episode sets the foundation for a radical identity shift that changes how life, challenges, and possibilities are experienced. If you’ve ever felt stuck despite doing “all the right things,” this conversation opens the doorway to a completely different way of living. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

(02:10) Why most suffering comes from misunderstanding identity Jim explains why people struggle not because life is hard, but because they don’t truly know who they are. 

(05:48) The hidden trap of the 3D ego identity Learn how identifying with race, roles, history, and labels creates the illusion of separation and fuels fear and lack. 

(11:41) What it really means to be consciousness first Jim introduces the identity “flip” that shifts life from effort and struggle to ease and alignment. 

(17:00) Why ego problems don’t get solved—they dissolve Discover why trying to fix life from the ego is like rearranging furniture on the Titanic. 

(23:08) How prayer and begging reinforce separation Jim explains how traditional prayer often reinforces the illusion instead of reconnecting us to our inherent power. 

(27:11) The one realization that ends the ‘beast of burden’ life Understand why identifying as consciousness first restores power, peace, and clarity. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

The greatest illusion you can break is the belief that you are the human identity you’ve learned to be. When you stop trying to fix your life from the ego and begin recognizing yourself as consciousness having a human experience, struggle loses its grip. Problems no longer define you—and often dissolve entirely. True transformation begins not with effort, but with awareness. Shift your identity, and your life follows.

How often have you asked yourself this question: “What is my life’s purpose?” If you’re like almost all people, you’ve asked yourself this question over and over and you still haven’t found your answer.

In this episode I dig deeper and take a look at your life’s purpose from a much higher perspective. For most people, they have never thought in this way. They’ve never expanded the level from which they see and experience their lives.

In this episode I talk about:[5:38] “Where you’re living from”[9:59] Looking at your life in a bigger context[10:45] Why your purpose is internal and not external[13:28] Why your external purpose is not your real purpose[24:54] And, how working from your highest potential will help you connect with your real purpose

Also, I talk about meditation and why this is so important.

The easiest way to work from higher purpose is to quiet your mind and connect at the deepest levels of who you are.

Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Transformational Takeaway

Your TRUE purpose is alignment

In this profound and far-reaching conversation, Jim Fortin sits down with Gary Zukav, author of The Seat of the Soul, to explore what he calls an unprecedented shift in human consciousness. Gary explains that humanity is moving beyond a five-sensory, fear-based way of living into a multisensory awareness rooted in love, responsibility, and authentic power. This transformation, he says, is not a future possibility—it is happening now, within each individual.

The discussion dives deeply into what authentic power truly means: the alignment of personality with soul. Gary contrasts external power—control, manipulation, and fear—with authentic power, which comes from emotional awareness and conscious choice. He offers practical guidance on how to recognize frightened versus loving parts of the personality and how everyday emotional experiences are actually gateways to spiritual growth and personal evolution.

If you’ve ever wondered how inner change can affect the world, how to move beyond fear, or how to live with greater meaning and integrity during uncertain times, this episode offers both clarity and direction.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

(02:58) The New Human Consciousness Why humanity is undergoing a rapid, historic shift from five-sensory awareness to multisensory perception. 

(04:20) External Power vs. Authentic Power How control and manipulation differ from soul-aligned power—and why the old model no longer works. 

(13:57) Love and Fear as Choice Points How every moment presents a decision between fear-based reactions and love-based responses. 

(18:59) Emotional Awareness as a Tool How physical sensations in the body reveal frightened or loving parts of your personality. 

(41:59) Temptation and Conscious Choice Why temptation is a spiritual gift and how it serves as a rehearsal for growth—or karma. 

(51:30) Creating Change from the Inside Out Why transforming yourself is the only way meaningful change happens in the world. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Transformational Takeaway 

True transformation doesn’t come from fixing the world outside of you—it begins by turning inward. As Gary Zukav reminds us, the frightened parts of your personality are not obstacles, but doorways to deeper awareness, compassion, and authentic power. When you learn to recognize fear, choose love, and act from alignment with your soul, you step into a life guided not by reaction, but by conscious creation.
