Fire in The BellyThe Door We Call God – Jeffery C. Olsen Interview
I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that Jeffery is one of the most humbling guests we’ve ever had on the show.
He has taken one of the most tragic things that can happen to a fellow human – the death of half of his family in a devastating car crash – and let him lead him on a journey of healing and trying to help the world.
In our conversation, he goes into detail about his experiences after the accident, and how he realised that we might be living heaven on earth.
Jeffery has a sense of humour and humility and beyond that, he is a shining example of radical hope and acceptance in action.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- if we could consider each other as part of the human family and aim to care for one another and work through our disagreements rather than shutting each other out, we could heal so much of what feels so disconnected in the world.
- choosing joy is just that: a choice. It might be difficult at first and feel very counter-intuitive, but joy is like a muscle. It gets stronger with practice.
- listening can be one of the most spiritual experiences and services you can do. It requires complete presence to be with another person and not be fast-forwarding until the point where you get to talk.
- replace the word “devil” with “ego”. “Get behind me, ego.”
BEST MOMENTS
(Jeffrey’s personal mantra) “I am a powerful, loving manifestation of the divine creator”.
“Wisdom is intelligence applied. I have the knowing, but have I done anything about it?”
“I don’t claim that I can go about healing people with cancer…but I do claim to go about and love them and walk with them as they go and deal with whatever their journey is, which is perfect, even if it looks completely different than mine or anyone else’s.”
“I don’t know if anything is out of order; I think there is a divine order to all of it, if I’m willing to see it, open my eyes and see it.”
ABOUT THE GUEST
Jeffery was born and raised in the Rocky Mountains of Utah. He is an author, a speaker, a creative director, a spiritual keeper, and a shaman. Most importantly, he considers himself a man, a human being, who tries to be of service in the ways he can.
In 1997, Jeff and his whole family (his wife and two young boys) were in a car accident. His wife and one of his children were killed on impact, and Jeff himself was seriously injured – a small selection of what he dealt with was a broken back, his left leg needing to be amputated above the knee, and a collapsed lung.
But before he knew what his road to recovery would entail, he left his body and crossed over to the other side, where he was told he had to go back.
From that moment, Jeffery was set on a spiritual path. He studied every tradition he could think of, and in his speeches and one-on-one mentoring work, he tries to help people cross over to the other side of their own obstacles.
Beyond his public speaking and his individual coaching, Jeff is a best-selling author of several books.
He has spent his life in the pursuit of joy and spiritual freedom.
He has remarried and enjoys being a family man.
