In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim challenges one of the most basic assumptions people carry: that they are their bodies. He asks listeners to ponder a simple but destabilizing question — who told you that you are a body? — and reveals how every limitation a person experiences, from health fears to financial lack, traces back to this single point of identification.

Jim unpacks how conditioning from parents, culture, science, and society trains people from childhood to identify as the body rather than as the awareness inhabiting it. Using examples like family-inherited illness and Angelina Jolie's preventative mastectomy, he shows how this identification keeps people trapped in the body's limitations — and offers a series of deliberate questions designed to shift that identity toward consciousness, life, and source instead.

Listeners are invited to sit with each question Jim poses and let a lifetime of body-based conditioning begin to loosen its grip.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

(00:00) Who told you that you are a body? — Jim opens with the central question of the episode, introducing the idea that the body is only a container, not the true self.

(02:57) Change starts with awareness, not effort — Jim explains that focusing on "fixing" yourself keeps you trapped in the identity you're trying to leave, and that real change begins with a shift in awareness.

(05:52) Your body is only an assumption — Jim breaks down how what you believe about your body, including inherited illness or limitation, is conditioning rather than truth.

(08:48) The body is a container, not you — Jim introduces the core distinction between the body as vehicle and the life force, soul, and awareness that inhabits it.

(12:12) Life doesn't need the body — Jim explains that consciousness is the cause and the body is the effect, and that identifying as life instead of body dissolves the limitations tied to illness, fear, and lack.

(17:53) You are not confined to the body — Jim explores how consciousness isn't limited to physical space, touching on dream time, astral travel, and remote viewing as evidence.

Listen, apply, and enjoy!



Transformational Takeaway

Every fear, illness, and limitation a person carries exists because they've identified as the body rather than as the life animating it. The body is simply the vehicle; the truth is consciousness, awareness, life itself. Letting that identification shift — even slightly — is where real freedom begins.

Are you one of those people who believe that money and spirituality are incompatible? Do you believe it’s OK to make money and be rich?

As you know, I’m a “spiritualist” and I’ve also learned that one of the most powerful things we can do for the world is to become rich, then use that as a tool and we can better the world.

In this episode, I have a guest, James Wedmore, and he’s a good friend. Not only that, but his business also attracted $9.4 million dollars last year.In this episode, we talk about Spirituality, Business, and Prosperity, and specifically, we talk about guiding principles that have helped him to become financially successful.

James is very spiritual and he lets his spiritualism guide him in business. I do the same, and working from this place has been financially good for both of us.

This is a candid, fun “interview” and my intention is that you see how we approach business and the rewards of prosperity and service that it brings us. You deserve to be abundant and prosperous!

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim explores why conflict isn't something that exists "out there" in the world, but is instead created the moment a person takes a side. He argues that all division — political, religious, personal — is a product of the human ego identifying with a single, limited interpretation of reality, and that true peace only returns when a person stops defending a position and remembers themselves as consciousness rather than the body or the belief.

Jim illustrates this with a personal story about getting scammed by a fake towing company, his upbringing around fundamentalist preachers in Texas, and a Coca-Cola versus Pepsi metaphor he uses to describe "mastering neutrality." He also examines how this same dynamic shows up in parenting, where trying to control or judge a adult child's choices is really just another form of taking sides.

This episode offers listeners a practical way to recognize when they've fallen into righteousness or division — and how to return to peace instead.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

(00:00) Where conflict actually comes from — Jim explains that disharmony isn't a lack of peace in the world; it exists because people don't know themselves as source rather than ego.

(07:38) Why institutions divide — Jim points to preachers, politicians, money, and religion as forces that split humanity by disguising ego and dogma as morality.

(11:02) The Coke and Pepsi metaphor — Jim introduces "mastering neutrality," showing that both sides of any argument are simply two versions of the same illusion.

(13:53) Whatever you fight weakens you — Using a Mother Teresa quote and Wayne Dyer's tree metaphor, Jim reveals how opposing anything grants it power and traps a person in conflict.

(20:00) Why the "correct side" winning never brings peace — Jim challenges the belief that healing the world means making one side win, and reframes what true unity requires.

(27:45) Peace as a realization, not a result — Jim closes with the truth that divine mind has never been divided or taken a side, and neither should the listener.

Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Transformational Takeaway

Every time a person declares one side right and the other wrong, they step out of consciousness and into the ego's illusion of division. Peace was never meant to come from winning an argument or fixing the world outside — it comes from remembering that the listener, at their core, is the same undivided source as everyone they're tempted to oppose. Letting go of the need to be right isn't weakness; it's the doorway back to harmony.

You’re already thinking, “What is my greatest advisor?”

Let me get to the point and be blunt, your own death is your greatest advisor.

We, humans, spend a large part of our lives avoiding the one thing that is inevitable in our lives, our own transition of the planet, or what we call death.The truth is this, when we embrace the totality of our being and we accept our “death” we can then use it as our “life advisor” and we can use it to understand what’s important to us and how best to live our lives.

Most of us persist in seeing our lives from the smallest “part” of ourselves and that keeps us blind.

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim opens a new series comparing North Korea's overt, state-mandated ideological conditioning — its real "Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Monolithic Ideological System" — to the covert brainwashing many Westerners experience through consumerism, nationalism, and religion. The difference, he argues, isn't whether brainwashing exists, but how visibly it's enforced. 

Jim details North Korean practices like mandatory portrait care and weekly self-criticism, then shows how Western consumerism and the need to feel "good enough" condition people just as thoroughly, only without coercion. His goal: separating listeners' true identity — their consciousness — from the conditioned "container" of the body and ego. 

This first episode in a multi-part series is an essential starting point for anyone ready to question who they really are. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

(00:00) The hidden link between North Korea and the West — Jim reveals that the only real difference between a brainwashed North Korean citizen and most Westerners is the name and method of the conditioning. 

(05:18) Who gave you your thoughts? — Jim challenges listeners to question who actually taught them their fears, preferences, and even their own name. 

(14:31) Inside North Korea's Ten Principles — Jim details real mechanisms like mandatory portrait care and weekly self-criticism as a mirror for subtler Western conditioning. 

(19:49) Consumerism as covert brainwashing — Jim traces his own teenage desire for Polo shirts to a culture that uses advertising to convince people they're incomplete. 

(28:22) Who chose your reality? — Using a scene from The Devil Wears Prada, Jim shows how decisions we believe are our own were often shaped long before we could choose them. 

(30:17) You are consciousness first — Jim reveals the series' foundational truth: listeners are consciousness that inhabits a body, not a body that has consciousness. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

Most of us believe we are free-thinking, autonomous beings, but the truth is that nearly every thought, preference, and fear we carry was downloaded into us by family, media, culture, and society long before we were old enough to question it. Recognizing this isn't a cause for despair — it's the first step toward real freedom. The body is a container, conditioned and shaped by the world around it, but the listener is not that container; they are the consciousness, the life force, that inhabits it. Reclaiming that truth is where authentic power begins.
