The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now 

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin reveals one of the most profound and underutilized powers available to every human being: the imagination. Far more than a place to daydream, imagination is what Jim calls the language of God — the invisible force that quite literally shapes every circumstance, relationship, and outcome in life. Drawing on wisdom from William James, Henry David Thoreau, and Ernest Holmes, Jim makes the compelling case that everything in the external world — money, health, relationships — is simply the effect of what has already been created in the imagination. 

Most people spend their lives reacting to appearances — the bank balance, the body in the mirror, the job they've outgrown — and treating those appearances as fixed facts. But Jim challenges that assumption entirely. Your circumstances are not facts. They are temporary effects. And the cause of every single one of them traces back to your imagination. The question is no longer whether you're using your imagination — you already are, constantly. The question is whether you're using it consciously, deliberately, and in your favor. 

If you've ever wondered why certain things just won't change no matter how hard you try, this episode gives you the missing piece — and a step-by-step practice to start using your imagination to get anything you want. 

What You'll Discover in This Episode: 

(00:00) Imagination is far more than daydreaming — Jim opens with a foundational reframe: imagination isn't fantasy, it's the God power within you, and every act of thinking is simultaneously an act of imagining. 

(09:34) Your circumstances are effects, not facts — Jim explains that the bank account, the body, and the bank balance are all temporary effects of a deeper cause — and that cause is always the imagination. 

(14:54) The critical difference between thinking of and thinking from — Most people imagine their desires from a place of lack and distance, when the key is to imagine already living from the fulfilled reality. 

(20:13) Why wanting something keeps it away — Jim reveals the counterintuitive truth: telling the universe you want something simultaneously tells it you don't have it — and the universe simply agrees. 

(25:34) How to bring your imagination to life with sensory detail — Jim walks through layering in sound, smell, touch, and physical sensation to make imagined realities feel real, and shares a powerful healing story from a student in his Transformational Coaching Program. 

(29:33) The bedtime practice that programs your subconscious overnight — Jim explains how the theta brainwave state just before sleep is the most powerful window to impress your desires onto the subconscious mind — and why what you "take to bed" can change everything. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

 

Transformational Takeaway 

Your imagination is not a luxury — it is your salvation. Everything you currently have in your life was first created in the theater of your imagination. That means you are not a victim of your reality. You are its author. Know exactly what you desire. Create the mental scene as if it is already fulfilled. Give it texture — smell it, hear it, feel it. Hand it to your subconscious mind, especially in those precious moments just before sleep. Stop imagining from a place of lack and longing. Start imagining from the life you are already living in your mind. Your external world has no choice but to catch up.

Have you ever wondered how truly powerful your mind is?

We all hear different stories about the “Power of the Mind” but have you experienced that in your own life?

Personally, I used my “mind” to heal from a stroke and heart failure, all of which happened in a single year, 2020. And, as I was healing I was searching Youtube for inspirational videos and stories.

I had never even taken so much as a prescription until my ordeals and I was wondering and searching for, “How do I heal myself beyond what modern medicine says I can do?

I came across a video by a man named Bob Cafaro and it was titled, “The Psychology Of Beating An Incurable Disease.” The title sucked me in immediately and the video did not disappoint. As a far of matter, it was the single most impactful video that I watched.

Bob healed himself from an incurable disease, Multiple Sclerosis. You read that right. He headed himself 100% using the power of his mind.

I’m ecstatic because I’m visiting with Bob in this episode and he shares the specific activities that healed him. Before I talked to him, I was blown away because as we were talking, he shared how he “did the impossible,” literally. So, how does the interview apply to you and help you live a better life? Easy, if you’re in any way physically ill listening to this podcast episode can do one of the most important things you ever do and if you’ve never been in such circumstances, Bob demonstrates the power of doing the impossible.

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin breaks down one of the most misunderstood distinctions in human experience: the difference between the brain and the mind. While the brain is organic and biological, the mind is something far greater. And yet, most people allow an overactive brain to run the show — generating endless cycles of fear, worry, and mental noise they believe they are powerless to stop. 

Jim makes the case that overthinking is not intelligence — it's misplaced trust. Every time we over-analyze or mentally manage our lives, we are telling the universe we don't believe it can handle things without us. But here's the truth Jim returns to again and again: your life is not sustained by your thinking. And once you understand who is actually doing the thinking — and who is watching it happen — everything changes. 

 

If your mind never seems to quiet down and peace feels out of reach, this episode will give you one of the most liberating realizations available to any human being. 

 

What You'll Discover in This Episode: 

(00:00) The critical difference between your brain and your mind — Jim opens with a foundational distinction most people have never considered: the brain is organic and biological, but the mind is non-organic, and conflating the two is the root cause of most mental exhaustion and fear. 

(07:05) Overthinking is misplaced trust — Jim introduces a game-changing reframe: every act of overthinking signals to the universe that you don't trust it — and recognizing that truth is the first step toward reclaiming your peace and power. 

(14:15) Your life is not sustained by your thinking — Drawing on the wisdom of Don Javier, Jim demonstrates that universal intelligence — not the analytical mind — is what actually sustains life, and why you can stop white-knuckling your way through it. 

(18:36) You are not your thoughts — you are the awareness observing them — Jim delivers the episode's central breakthrough: you are the consciousness that observes your thoughts, not the fearful, noisy thoughts themselves, and that distinction is where freedom begins. 

(24:19) The trap of identifying with the physical self — Jim walks listeners through why identifying with the body and individual mind is the source of so much suffering — and how shifting into pure awareness breaks that trap. 

(29:11) Silence is not the absence of thought — it's the recognition of noise — Jim reframes what true silence means: not a perfectly quiet mind, but the awareness of how active the individual mind is — and why that awareness alone delivers peace. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

The mind is not the self — and the moment you grasp that, something shifts. All the worry, the fear, the frantic mental management of your life — none of that is you. It is noise from an organic brain doing what brains do. You are the awareness behind it. Just as your hands are not you, your thoughts are not you. You are the consciousness observing them. Trust the I am over the me. Universal intelligence already knows what you desire. Your only job is to get still, recognize the noise for what it is, and let something far greater than your individual mind do the work it was always meant to do. You are not a prisoner of your thoughts. You are the awareness that sets you free.

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin tackles a question that cuts to the heart of modern spiritual life: can you truly call yourself spiritual if you're consumed by worry? Jim draws a sharp line between identifying with spirituality and actually living from it — and reveals why so many self-described spiritual people are still trapped in cycles of fear, anxiety, and control. He challenges listeners to look honestly at their own behavior and ask whether their inner life matches the spiritual identity they claim. 

Jim unpacks the fundamental incompatibility between worry and true spirituality, making the case that worry is, at its core, an act of distrust — a signal to the universe that you don't believe in its power to deliver. Rather than offering another technique or mindset hack, Jim redirects listeners toward the only real solution: getting still, merging with universal mind, and releasing the ego's compulsive need to control outcomes. 

If you've ever wondered why your spiritual practice hasn't quieted your anxious mind, this episode will show you exactly why — and what to do instead. 

What You'll Discover in This Episode: 

(00:00) Why identifying as spiritual doesn't make you spiritual — Jim makes the critical distinction between spiritual interest and spiritual being, and why so many people have unknowingly turned their spirituality into just another form of dogma. 

(06:33) Spirituality isn't about talk — it's about how you live — Using vivid real-world examples, Jim illustrates how people can walk the spiritual walk on the surface while being completely untethered from it in their moment-to-moment behavior. 

(13:49) Worry is an attempt to control — and control is the opposite of trust — Jim introduces a game-changing reframe: if you're worrying, you're trying to control something — and true spirituality requires surrendering that control to the power of universal mind. 

(21:08) You are not a being that has consciousness — consciousness has you — Jim shares the wave-and-ocean metaphor to explain why you are already inseparable from the ultimate power in the universe, and why that realization makes worry not just unnecessary, but illogical. 

(25:40) When you worry, you're telling the universe it isn't enough — Jim reveals the hidden message behind every worried thought: a declaration to universal mind that it is not sufficient to create what you need — and why that belief keeps you stuck. 

(30:34) How to stay in inspired action without the fear — Jim outlines the practical alternative to worried doing: staying in movement while simultaneously remaining connected to divine mind through presence, silence, and surrender.

Transformational Takeaway 

Worry is not a personality quirk or a harmless habit — it is a declaration of disconnection. Every time you worry, you are telling the universe that you don't trust it, that you believe you have to force your reality into existence through sheer physical effort. But here's the truth Jim wants you to sit with: you are not a separate little being trying to connect to something greater. Like a wave that is already the ocean, you are already one with consciousness — with the ultimate power in the universe. The moment you recognize that, worry loses its grip. Get still. Five minutes. No phone, no agenda, no affirmations. Just silence. That silence is where you merge with divine mind, and divine mind — which already knows your desires through your frequency — can finally do its work. Stop micromanaging the universe. Let go. And watch how quickly things begin to move when you get out of the way.
