How To Have Peace of Mind In The Chaos All Around…that’s huge right? I mean,it would be amazing. And, I want you to know, it’s possible.

I’ve decided to change the content format of the podcast. I want to bring a more “spiritual” approach to the podcast and I start that this week. (Bear with me as I fumble a bit trying to find my content and delivery style for this new approach.)

In this episode, I talk about how to have peace of mind in the midst of what’s happening in the world and I approach it from a “spiritual” aspect.

In this episode I talk about:[11:47] How all the fear in the world is all “3D ego”[15:47] Reinforcement of the Be Do Have theme in the podcast and look at your BEing[21:15] How you’re responding to the world[22:50] What you’re learning about yourself in the world in the midst of this all[26:17] Taking advantage of the change in the world[27:32] Shamanism and letting a part of your ego “die”[29:15] Leaving your old life and routines for a new life[31:16] Letting your old “reality” die

And, overall, I talk about who you have to be and what you have to do to cultivate POM (Peace of Mind) through this huge life transition we’re all going through.

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

As I’m shifting content and thinking about what I want to share, again, bear with me and overall this whole episode is about you leaving the old you behind you as the result of this global situation.

Transformational Takeaway

Without fear you have POM.

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin reveals a perspective on fear that most people have never considered — one that doesn't require techniques, hacks, or willpower. Drawing on decades of work with his shaman mentor Don Javier, Jim makes the case that everything most people do to fight fear — affirmations, breathing exercises, reframing, even sheer determination — is the very thing keeping fear alive. The real problem, he argues, isn't fear itself. It's the illusion that fear is real. 

Jim breaks down why fear has no place in the present moment, why it is always a story about a future that hasn't happened and likely never will, and why resisting fear is like throwing gasoline on a fire. From the neuroscience of the amygdala to ancient Buddhist wisdom, Jim draws a clear and practical distinction between being consumed by fear and simply observing it — and explains why that single shift changes everything. 

This episode doesn't offer a better way to fight fear. It offers something far more powerful: a way to see through it entirely. Listen closely. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

(03:51) Fear lives in the future, not the present — Why fear almost never exists in the actual present moment and how most people are unknowingly living now from something that hasn't happened yet. 

(08:16) Most of what you fear will never come to pass — The sobering truth that the vast majority of things people catastrophize about never materialize, and why suffering through fear is always optional. 

(10:12) Fear is a story, not a fact — How recognizing fear as a self-generated narrative — rather than an objective reality — is the moment it begins to lose its grip on you. 

(13:07) Why techniques and hacks make fear worse — The neuroscientific reason that fighting fear through tools and strategies actually amplifies it, and what Jim calls the resistance trap. 

(17:21) Observation dissolves what resistance amplifies — The Buddhist practice of naming and witnessing fear as an outside observer, rather than being consumed by it, and why this creates genuine freedom. 

(29:26) Surrender is not weakness — it's the only way out — Why accepting what is in the present moment, rather than trying to control an outcome that can never be guaranteed, is the true path to eliminating fear for good. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

Fear is not your enemy — it is a story your mind has been telling you so convincingly that you forgot it was a story at all. Every fear you carry is a thought about the future, lived as if it were a fact right now. And the harder you fight it, the more real it becomes. The way out is not force — it is observation, surrender, and the quiet recognition that right now, in this breath, you are okay. The next time fear comes knocking, name it. Recognize it as a story. You are not the fear. You are the awareness watching it arise — and that is exactly where your freedom lives.

Money, money, money…it’s what 80% of my listeners struggle with and it’s the thing that’s easiest to attract, really.

So, if money is so easy to attract then how come you’ve had such a hard time with it? Easy, I give you that answer in this episode, and no, it’s not some “pie-in-the-sky” answer. It’s practical and it will make perfect sense to you.

Trust me, I know how easy it is to get lost in podcasts and episodes and books and content and this direct message will be easy for you,that’s why I titled the episode, “please get it.” Until you “get it,” you'll keep having problems.

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin explores the ancient wisdom of the Hopi people and its startling relevance to the world unfolding right now. Drawing from a personal conversation with his shaman mentor Don Javier—sparked by the appearance of Atlas, a rare interstellar object—Jim unpacks centuries-old Hopi prophecies that describe exactly the kind of world we are living in today: materialistic, imperialistic, and spiritually unmoored. Far from a doomsday warning, these prophecies are, as Jim frames them, a map—patterns that ancient peoples observed, documented, and passed down to guide future generations. 

Jim traces humanity's journey through four worlds, each destroyed by the collective disregard for spiritual teachings, and zeroes in on the Hopi's most critical teaching for this moment: the choice between the path of two hearts and the path of one heart. The two hearts path—the upper path—is the zigzag of chasing money, ego, and external identity. The one heart path—the lower path—is the path of divine essence, peace, love, and stewardship of the earth. Every ancient prophecy Jim references, from Nostradamus to Edgar Cayce to Baba Vanga, converges on this same crossroads humanity faces right now, in 2026. 

This is not a moment for passivity. It is, as Jim calls it, go time—not in a frantic way, but in a deeply intentional, spiritually grounded way. Listen closely. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

(02:53) The Hopi: peaceful stewards of consciousness — How the Hopi built an entire culture around a single purpose: maintaining balance with the earth and with consciousness itself. 

(05:47) Two worlds diverging right now — Humanity is splitting into two distinct paths—one driven by money, ego, and greed, and the other by heart, soul, and spiritual stewardship—and both are visible in the world today. 

(09:09) The fourth world and the patterns we keep repeating — How the Hopi described our current world as ruthless and materialistic, and why ancient prophecies from Cayce, Nostradamus, and Baba Vanga all point to this same moment in history. 

(14:58) The Hopi's two paths for the end of the fourth world — A closer look at the upper path (two hearts) and the lower path (one heart), and why outsourcing your identity to material things keeps you in disharmony with the energies shifting on the planet. 

(17:53) Purification, not annihilation—and why now is go time — The Hopi were not predicting destruction; they were prophesying purification, and why spiritual evolution is the most urgent work any of us can do right now. 

(20:50) The fifth world is an inner state available to you today — The next world the Hopi envisioned isn't a geographic destination—it's a consciousness that becomes accessible the moment you choose the path of one heart. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

The Hopi knew. Across centuries, they mapped the patterns of human civilization and left a clear message for this exact moment: the world does not change until the individual does. You are standing at the crossroads of two paths—one leading outward toward noise, hustle, and identity built from status and distraction; the other leading inward toward soul, peace, and consciousness that helps heal the planet. You don't have to renounce the material world. You simply have to stop letting it define you. The fifth world isn't coming someday. It is available right now, in the next choice you make. Which path are you on?

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

Listen, apply, and enjoy!
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.

Transformational Takeaway
Your TRUE purpose is alignment
