Soul Setting: Transforming Your Life From The Inside Out

Get your soul ready for today's conversation as I sit down with Mr. Levy, author and advocate for soul setting, a transformative approach to life that shifts focus from the mind to the soul. Unlike the widely preached "mindset" strategies, soul setting is about energy, frequency, and tapping into one’s internal power rather than being dictated by external circumstances. Mr. Levy shares his personal journey of overcoming addiction, depression, and suicidal ideation, revealing how soul setting allowed him to reclaim peace, purpose, and personal responsibility.

Through an engaging discussion, Mr. Levy explains how society conditions people to live in a physical, problem-focused reality rather than embracing the non-physical realm of inner peace and acceptance. He challenges listeners to reconsider their perspectives on stress, trauma, and victimhood, emphasizing that healing begins with acceptance rather than resistance. His book delves into the practical steps of soul setting, including how to break free from toxic thought loops, manage expectations, and cultivate an unshakable sense of inner stability.

Whether you're struggling with addiction, stress, or simply searching for a new way to navigate life’s challenges, this conversation provides valuable insights into achieving true peace. If you’re ready to stop living in your mind and start living from your soul, this episode is for you. Don’t forget to check out the description below for links to Mr. Levy’s book and resources!

Transcript

 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of Couple of Nukes. As always, I'm your host, Mr. Whiskey, and we hear so many podcasters talking about mindset. There's a lot of different types, whether it's a money mindset, a growth mindset, what it may be. But today, we are here with a man who talks about soul setting.

In fact, he wrote a whole book about it, which we're going to get into today. And it is all about the soul. versus the mind and how society has almost programmed us to Mindset mindset mindset when we should be living from our soul and soul setting But the word soul itself like so many words Has taken on a lot of different meanings throughout the generations and it varies from person to person So we're here with our guests to talk about what exactly is soul setting and what can it do for us?

And why should we do it?  Mr. Levi, all the way from Canada, joining us today to set some souls on the right path. He did it himself after over 50 years of living with mindsets that just got him not where society kept telling him it would take him. So, Mr. Levi, so glad to have you here, and could you please give us a little introduction for yourself? 

Not a problem. And it's Levy. L E V Y. Mr. Levy. We just talked about this. No, that's okay. Don't worry about it. Strike number two. Anyways, how are you this morning? Well, now I'm torn between Levi and Levy. It's You won't be the last person, so The spelling is what keeps throwing me off. Yeah, just levy, just like the levy breaks or, or taxes of levy, L E V Y.

It's because I'm Southern. We got the Levi jeans over here. That's why I keep, I keep going to Levi because of the jeans.  Not a problem. Anyway, well, thank you very much, Mr. Whiskey. I really appreciate you inviting me to, uh, discuss my book. And, uh, where, where it's taken me. Um, soul setting is, is energy based.

It's about frequency, it's about  the inside of yourself, and so many of us are looking on the outside world. We have two worlds that we live in. One is the physical world, which I propose that 98 percent of the world lives in. And we look on the outside, the physical, and we use our, our perceptions, basically our sight, hearing, sound, all of our perceptions that are based on years and years of conditioning from childhood, and that creates our perspective of our reality and our physical reality.

But we're overlooking, I think, a more important reality, which is our non physical reality. physical reality, which is inside of ourselves, which is our peace, our peace of mind. And Albert Einstein always said, um, he has a great quote that I like that we cannot create. a solution to a problem in the same degree that we've created it.

So soul setting for me has helped me with my depression, suicidal ideation. I had it planned out. I was ready to cash my chips in, um, anxiety, addiction. I was an alcoholic. I suffer from none of those. Through soul setting because everything we have Mr. Whiskey is inside ourselves already and we just kind of look on the outside and That's where soul setting has taken me  Yeah for sure And I definitely want to get into the addiction recovery aspect of it as well as go a bit more into your story But total side pivot, I started thinking of American Pie drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry.

So I got your name now. I'm gonna remember that. No, I'm a cleaner.  That's really good. Okay.  But I did read your book and I don't want to spoil too much of it because I do want people to go check it out if that's what their soul calls them to do. But you talk about eight benefits of soul setting and I'm very curious, which one have you found to be the most beneficial to your life of those eight hours.

They all kind of play a role in one another. But which one has been the most, you know, implemented into your life? Just the stress management of everyday life, you know, the, the, the constant worrying. I don't worry anymore. I still care, but I don't worry. And my stress level has decreased, which stress  kills, it really kills your physical being and it's an accumulation over time.

It's not something that, you know, if you stress about something today, tomorrow you'll have a heart attack or, or cancer or other, other. you know, audio immune diseases. But stress is a major factor in almost all, if not all, sicknesses or illnesses. And it's an accumulation over time. So they may not feel it 5, years from now, but maybe 30 or 40, depending on your age.

And you could be 50 years old, 60 years old, and have a heart attack, but that's based on an accumulation of, you know, a bunch of stuff, obviously nutrition as well, but, but stress is just a real big, important factor. And that's where soul setting has helped me just, just immensely.  Yeah, for sure. Cause you also talk about and the benefits, you know, I won't name all of them, but inner peace and, you know, just the health that follows from stress management and that ties into.

You know, the view we have on, I like how in your book you talk about there aren't problems, there are situations and circumstances that we then. turn into problems. And oftentimes it's actually, you know, our precursor actions that created that problem to begin with. So I think one of the things that you discuss is not worrying about what ifs, you know, so many people are focused on the past or the future and it's all what ifs.

And, you know, you had a quote in there about, you know, it couldn't happen anyway because it didn't happen any other way. So how has that been, you know, obviously for over 50 years you struggled with what ifs. And it's not an overnight switch to turn off. So how has that, you know, been playing out in your life? 

And that quote that you mentioned, it isn't my quote. It's Pierre Crone's quote, actually, to be honest with you. Um, and it's a, it's a great quote, so I don't like taking, you know, uh, kudos from somebody else. So, um, going back to your question, um,  it, it's funny because we, we take a look at our history and our past, and then we use that because we have been, um,  programmed  based on our environment and our experiences.

And then when we have a, what people think is a problem, which I don't, I, I assert that there's nobody has any problems. Those are just situations. And in circumstances, as you mentioned, and we take those problems or those circumstances and then blow them up in our mind, like you said,  we live 90 percent in our mind  on a daily basis.

We don't live on the outside world. We live in our mind, which creates our issues. Um, so when we come across a situation that we don't like. And what happens is that we internalize that and then we have a pre predisposition or preconception that, well, this is what's happened in my past, so that's probably what's gonna happen in my future.

And it's utterly ridiculous because the outcome can be totally different. But because you've used your history and living in the past has predicted your future. And that's not the case. So, by eliminating the past as far as, you know, every day is different, and utilizing  your soul and your energy, you can manifest something different totally. 

Yeah, for sure. And I know one example you gave that I really resonated with was if you're running late for work and now you hit every single red light and you talked about, you know, the energy you put out into there because you're focusing so hard on the red light. So, I totally agree with that, and I know that what is can be very difficult for people to, you know, not think about, especially in the past or the future.

And so,  how has soul setting really helped you to eliminate those thoughts? Like, do you still have them and you have to get rid of them, or have you soul setted so much that you don't even conjure up those thoughts?  It all depends on on some situations. I'll share some vulnerabilities with me. Um, I did have an anger issue You know, I don't like when I have red lights I don't like when  everybody's human and we don't like certain things that go on with our lives some situations You just don't want them to happen.

I didn't want them. I don't like them. I want them gone However, they are here without any control of yourself because someone has said something to you that you don't like So then you get upset or somebody did something to you and then they, then you get upset. Like, I can use my example of my ex wife.

She decided to leave me and become a lesbian. And it, I had two children at the time, one and three. My kids were my, were my life. And I went down a rabbit hole so deep that it created a really bad addiction of alcoholism for me for over a 10 year period. If I knew about soul setting, it would have been, well, it wouldn't have been any different because it just is. 

The thing is, is that when, when I look at something like that and realize it just is, and that's what my wife's soul wants to do at this present time, it has nothing to do with me whatsoever. And if I only realize that soul setting can internalize that, from a standpoint that it's, don't take it personally.

It's, it's all energy based. And I was sitting, there's a sulking pouting for over a 10 year period. And all of a sudden everything negative just kept gravitating toward me. And I got into more and more of a hole. And it's because of the energy that I was emitting. So when you emit a negative energy, what do you think is going to gravitate back towards you?

Negativity. Right.  Um, when, um, I use that red light scenario, it's exactly like a golfer's story. When you get up to a tee and there's a woods on the right hand side and a river on the left hand side, and all you want to do is go straight. If all you're saying is, oh, please don't go in the woods and stuff, invariably, 95 percent of the time, where does your ball go?

Right. Into, into the woods, and that's because your, your energy is focusing so much, and your subconscious is focusing so much on not going there. Versus, just allowing, and just accepting where the ball goes. If it goes in the woods, that's okay. If it goes in the fairway, that's okay as well.  I think it's almost just like driving, how, even if you're like, I'm gonna keep going straight, if you're looking at a sign, Or something to the left or the right, you start to gravitate toward that direction, even if you're trying to keep the wheel straight, you just end up, you know, you're trying to glance over, glance over, and, and so you stay straight, but you end up moving towards that way, and you mentioned addiction, and using, you know, alcohol to really cope with everything that was happening in your life, and we know a lot of alcoholics develop that as a way to cope with stress, or trauma, or whatever it may be in their life, And you talk about how soul setting can kind of, you know, at least in your case, and it could for many other people, stop addiction because it fixed, you know, I don't want to say fixed the mindset because you went from a mindset to a soul set, but by making that transition it can help alleviate the need for alcohol as a coping mechanism.

So can you tell us about how that looked in your personal journey and how other people can implement that as well?  It's, it's, it's the behavior that you causes you to drink or do heroin or cocaine or gamble or eat or whatever. It's not the addiction itself. That's the issue. The issue is how you have actually personified your life.

The perspective of your life in your mind. And again, it's all negativity. It's all poor me. Um, you're, you're, you perhaps have some trauma that you haven't dealt with, maybe some abuse as a child, and over time, that's programmed into your mind and into your subconscious. So that's pain is still there subconsciously and perhaps maybe even consciously you are still aware of it, and you're still are upset about it So what what addiction does is it?

numbs the pain and that's what you do you're looking on the outside to numb your pain and again in  my view or my philosophy is that When you start looking outside for happiness, when you start looking outside for getting rid of pain, you're going in the wrong direction. And when you start internalizing and starting looking inward, which is your soul.

Now, I'm sure everyone in your audience and yourself, we have a triangle and everyone has seen this. The mind, body and soul connection. And people keep working on the mind and they keep working on the body. Um, but they don't and they neglect the soul. And I think the soul is so important because if the mind is polluted, then are you going to really want to work on your body as far as your nutrition, exercising, et cetera, because you're going to probably be in a depression.

Anxiety and and it all it is all fits together but if you don't work on the soul and then then you have you're just you're just going to be in a constant loop between the mind and the body mind and the body and when you start enhancing the internalness of the of the soul and in taking count the energy and the faith that the universe or in my case God And again, there's no judgment where, where you have your oneness or your wholeness come from.

Um, it could be Buddha and that's fine as well, but the concept of oneness, um, the energy that, you know, comes from within will come back to you as long as you stay in a higher frequency.  So I like what you said about the triangle, you know, mind, body, and soul, but for some of us, we can't really tell the difference between mind and soul.

Can you kind of go over like, how do we know if we're thinking from the mind and ego? If we're thinking from the soul.  That's a really good question. And that is where it starts. How do I know if it's in the mind or the soul? Well, if it's in the mind, you'll go back to your old ways, which is perhaps fear, anger, shame, guilt, all of those emotions.

When you're in the soul setting stage, those will dissipate and disappear. Now, they don't disappear overnight. And that's the thing that people have to understand. We are trying to change your identity, not, not your physical, you know, not your name, not your, um, your humor, all that stuff, but just the identity of your past as far as, um, where, where things have been, such as, you know, trauma, um, abuse, et cetera.

We're not trying to forget it. We're trying to get into a position of acceptance and love.  It's very difficult, and I can imagine some of your audience are sitting there saying, I was abused. How can I love that? Well, it's giving you a direction today to focus on your internal, um, upbringing. Because something is out of alignment.

And what's out of alignment is the internal versus the external. Again, we live in a non physical and a physical reality. And we've chosen to live in a physical reality, which is not energy based. It's based on the perception, as I mentioned before, so when I, when I looked at the alcohol, um, and went into the soul setting, um, I realized that once I got rid of my pain and I didn't get rid of it, I just accepted it.

So when people say, you know, you have to learn to let go. I don't agree with that. There's no such thing as letting go because what you're trying to do now. is a repress your emotions on on the past. And I'm not trying to repress your emotions. What I'm trying to get you to do is accept your past. It's part of your journey.

Um, if you don't accept your past, you're going to resist your past. And by resisting, You're going to constantly struggle. By accepting, you're going to be in more form of a peace.  Right. And you speak about acceptance, which in your book, there are many, many pages, and in all caps, it says, it just is. Can you tell us about the role that those two play in one another?

And again, a lot of people have trouble accepting a, it just is mindset. They feel like they're not caring about, you know, the world or they're just accepting defeat and not accepting anything else. So can you tell us more about the it just is, you know, soul set? Yeah, Mr Whiskey, that just seems to be a, um, a model that I made up.

Um,  You can't do anything about your past. And even if you've made some horrendous mistakes, like I've made some horrendous mistakes, but I was doing the best week I could do at that time. And we all are, we are all doing the best that we can with the limited knowledge that you have. Um, and then now that you know about soul setting, there's a lot of responsibility is going to be on you now.

So you can't be playing in any government or the parents or. or whatever. Um, but by accepting your past with, with full acceptance in your soul. So again, um, you ask, well, how do you know it's still not in your mind and your ego versus your soul? It will dissipate and won't bother you as much. You will be able to talk to people about your abuse.

You will be able to talk to people if you choose to, but it won't come up as often. Now, I will have a disclaimer here for you because Um, when I talk about soul setting, you will find within 24 hours, if you implement this as far as, um, you'll see some energy things change in your life pretty quickly and you'll realize, wow, this has merit, that there's something to this.

But then the next day, the same situation might come up, which will trigger you and make you angry. Then you'll get all mad and everything and you'll go, oh, that soul setting is not, you know, it's full of bunk and there's no reason. But that's your ego coming back for your old identity, right? Yeah, they'll want to come back It will still want to come back.

So the biggest part about soul setting is awareness Be aware what triggers you and then work on on that trigger, which is you know, it just is you know If someone said something it's just words. That's all it is. But you you've taken your history And your perspective on that and taking it to the negative. 

Yeah, for sure. You talk about the just words and  I won't spoil it, but in your book you go over a text message exchange between you and your daughter on her birthday. That was a great example of where we often set expectations on our own words and the words of others and you know what we want them to reciprocate and how  impactful.

We want our messages to be received, but I want to take a step back to you talked about, you know, a victim mentality, and I think that's relevant more than ever, ever. You know, I think there's a lot of generational blame shifting going on. You've got millennials and Gen Z's blaming everything on the baby boomers.

You got Gen Z blaming it on the millennials. You got millennials blaming Gen Z. There's a whole generational war going on. Then you've got everyone in your book. You talk about trauma being you.  So generalized now, you know, it's, it's really been taken and made into like a keyword on, on social media, on, you know, podcasts, on shows and books.

And you talk about, you know, how that has changed and soul setting and that it just is mentality you said essentially is,  you know, acceptance and responsibility. You know, it puts more on yourself than anyone. And I think. That's exactly what we need right now because that's the only time you can see change, you know Just with like the generational blaming or even certain communities within society being so victimized, you know It's not making any change it's just making pity parties and either keeping everyone where they're at or backwards rather than moving forwards because you know when you Become a victim you kind of give the power to everyone else to support you to help you and those people may not Want to make the better change for you You know, and, and a lot of people could say that with, you know, drinking or other addictions is part of that, you know, I'm a victim, this, I'm doing this.

Because, you know, it just is the way that it is that I have to, you know, just be a victim, you know, like when you, in your book, you mentioned your family having an intervention after some time in jail and you just went to the bar and drank, but that could have been a moment where you took responsibility and instead of saying, I'm a victim, woe is me,  you could have acknowledged that you have an issue and you need to work on it or that you have a situation, a circumstance that you need to work on.

So I think that acceptance that comes with Soul Set and that individual responsibility is needed now more than ever. And, you know, you wrote this amazing book full of knowledge. It's a guidebook to how to Soul Set, all the benefits for it, and, you know, kind of how the world works. Where do you see the future of all of this going as far as the book?

Uh, your personal journey and what you'd like to see its impact be.  Well, I would really love for people to take a look at this soul setting and take responsibility for their life. If you're in a victim mindset, there are people that just will not probably get out of the victim mindset. Their soul isn't in a position to accept their past, uh, their parents, the government, uh, coaches, whatever, whatever harm they've gone through.

Um, they just won't be able to be in that position because their soul won't allow them to. They are so entrenched in their mind. that I am. It's a poor pity party, and the energy that they're embracing is the negativity, guilt, fear, shame, blame. And those are all low frequency. And for the abundance of life to get to them, it's gonna be very difficult if they don't take full responsibility.

And I believe that Um, like, like I was suicidal and soul setting got me out of the, out of the, um, suicide too. And, and how I know that this works is because in the last four years, I've had some tremendous things happen to me that if I had, if it was the old levy, I would have more than likely, you know, cash my life.

I would say, you know, enough's enough. I've had enough,  but it didn't phase me. And when I sit there and talk about it just is, I'm not talking about being a doormat,  you know, sitting back and letting life happen to you and be a doormat. That's not what I'm saying. But for 90 percent of the things that happen to us, um,  it's just non coincidental as far as you don't have to worry about it.

It's just noise. It's just people saying things you may not like what they say, but you just have to understand their standpoint, what they've gone through. And you might sit there and say, like, like, I have sometimes issues with my wife. She'll say something to me, and I'll say, why in my head, why in heck would she say that?

But now I can catch myself, because it's a, it's part of awareness. Where you're being triggered, that's when you become aware and say, hold it, why am I being triggered? Oh yes, that's my ego telling me things. That my past has been based on so she says this this is probably what's going to happen I've already predicted the future which is utterly ridiculous so I can squash things that certain people say to me And actually a lot of things that people say to me it gives them compassion and love to realize where they're coming from, right?

When people i'll call it dissing you when people dish this this you Then it's a reflection more on them than on you. They are in a really bad spot if they're sitting there being negative to you, and then calling you names or whatever the case is. So, I would really like to see, and, uh, We have to decrease the amount of alcoholism or addiction, um, and the mental illness.

And if I can do that one person at a time, and I know through my sessions that I have with clients that they're sitting there saying, you know, I've gotten more out of what you've discussed in our sessions than I have with my psychiatrist or my doctors or anything. I've gone to a psychiatrist and I'm not judging or trying to, um, upset the apple cart with, with doctors because I think there's a value to them.

But when it comes to, um, looking at the symptoms of your depression and then they medicate you, I think that's going way overboard right off the bat because as soon as I got to my psychiatrist, boom, he had me on a medication. Again, I wasn't aware. I just started taking the medication. But I realized after a number of, a number, a number, a number of sessions that I had with my psychiatrist.

The things weren't seem to be changing and in my last session, I remember him telling me, he said, Levi, I think you have to understand that we've gotten to a point in our, our therapy that you will have to accept that you will have some form of depression and anxiety. for the rest of your life and we can we can modify your medications with good times and bad times and I will give you coping mechanisms and techniques to help you with them to get through your depression and I remember Mr.

Whiskey I was so upset in my head I'm like There's no way in heck that I'm going to go through this for the rest of my life because if I'm gonna have to go Through depression for the rest of my life.  I want out and I never went back to him and I got off a medication. I'd again a medical disclaimer.

I'm not a doctor So if your listeners are on medications don't doing what I'm telling you to do Please advise your doctor or whatever you want to do, but in time you can make your own assessments But I got off the medication and I decided to start my research, which happened over 20 years plus ago and, uh, uh, started saying, you know, I've got to find a way to cure a way to heal myself because I don't want to deal with it.

And, and I'm really, I'm really happy and successful that I did. I spent a lot of time, um, and over four years with my book. Uh, so I, I, it's, it's taken a long time to get to this point and I'm not out of the woods yet, Mr. Whiskey. I still have lots of work to do. But, but every day, every day it's getting better and better.

Financially, uh, my health is awesome. Uh, relationships are awesome. The ones that I care about. Sure, there's some relationships that I have that aren't the best, which I would like them to be better with some relatives. Um, but again, it just is. And I just work towards it, so.  Yeah, you talk about still needing work because humans are humans, and that's why I think it's important to get this book out to the youth.

You know, the sooner you can start soul setting. The less damage there will be to recover and the less, you know, habits you'll have formed around your mind and ego. So, I agree. We're going to have the link in the description below for your book. I encourage everyone to check it out. You know, we've talked about soul setting, some of the benefits of it, and kind of the way it works.

And obviously, we think everyone should check this out, but really, who should read the book? You know, I mentioned it kind of being a guidebook and, you know, being a,  giving you the ability to kind of take power over your life and enact change. Which, again, everyone should definitely want that, but who would you really encourage to read your book? 

People who are, are in a situation where they have an addiction and they're not happy, they're in relationships and they're not happy. They, they have depression for a lot of years or anxiety and, and they're not happy.  If, if you want major change, that's what this book is for. It, it is a beginner's book, obviously, but there's a lot of insight in there that you know, you can use to help you learn about soul setting and in internal work, because I don't know about you, Mr.

Whiskey, but. I get to a certain age where I'm sick of drama. I don't like all the head, and all of the, you know, then you start losing sleep over the drama. But I don't have any more drama anymore. The drama you have is the drama that you create, that you participate in. If you don't participate in some of the drama, then there's no drama.

And that's the thing. Nobody's right and nobody's wrong. And that's another issue that's in my book. And um, it's a, it's a good chapter to also to, to look at, but as far as the people that are involved that should look at this, people who want change for internal peace.  Yeah, for sure. So like I said, we'll have the information description below so y'all can check out that book.

And if it's not for you, it might be for someone you know, you know, it's definitely a great gift to give. And like you said, if we can change one soul at a time,  set one soul at a time, that would be amazing. So Mr. Levy, thank you so much for coming on the show. and sharing your insight with us. And I hope that people will check out your book and that you'll continue to spread it around and help set souls.
