Final Thoughts
Healing doesn't mean forgetting what happened to you. It means discovering that you can carry your experiences while still creating a meaningful future.
As Jarrod reminds us, you cannot change what happened yesterday, but you can decide how to approach tomorrow.
Your past is part of your story, but it doesn't have to define your future.

SPEAKER_02So listen, if I sit here and tell you that I was not spending night after night screaming into a pillow um asking why, um, I'd be lying, right? It is but these are all normal behaviors, and and this is stuff that I had to get out. And why worried my wife? I mean, she's never seen you like that. And and and and when I say screaming into a pillow, I mean like uncontrollably weeping non-stop. It was it was bizarre. It was devastating. You could say I'm emotional right now, it's been six years, and you know, I I I know I'll never get over it. But but I also know that I have no choice but to perform on a daily basis because if I don't, I have another little girl at home that needs her dad to be there for her. Um she does.
SPEAKER_01She's got she's she was there, she has trauma as well, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay. All right, so yeah, I mean, I'm sorry for um Bright because there's no greater pain in the world than um burying your child. There's none, right? You know, spouse is close, but your children is is there's no greater pain. Welcome back to the Transform Your Mind to Transform Your Life Radio Podcast and Television Show. I'm your host, Life Coach Murney Young, and sitting in the guest chair today is Jared Bach Barak, president of the light system. I had to uh take the the name that I have in my head and say the right name. And Jared and I are gonna be talking today on the topic from darkness to light, rebuilding a life through resilience, masculinity, and healing. Welcome, Jared.
SPEAKER_02Thanks, Mira. Glad to be here.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yes. You know, thank goodness I'm only gonna have to say your last name one more time. Amazing. All right, so let's get started. Let me ask you guys a question. Have you ever gone through a season in your life where everything seems to fall apart? Your family, your health, your identity, and you wonder, how do I begin again? When I hear this, I'm thinking of Job in the Bible, and you know that he had to rebuild and it was better the second time around. So that's what usually happens in life, right? You get knocked down, everything gets taken away from you, and then you rebuild and rebuild stronger, better. And that's Jared's story, and that's what we're gonna be talking about today. So, my guest today didn't just face that question, he lived it. So, today we're gonna be on the Transforming Mind Podcast, where we explore the intersection of mental health, healing, and personal transformation. This is one for the books. Like I said, I'm joined today by Jared Barricette, a man whose life story is a true testament to resilience, reinvention, and rising from the darkest moments. After experiencing profound personal loss, physical trauma, and life-altering challenges, Jared chose not to stay broken. He chose to rebuild. Now, as the founder of the light system, he helps others restore balance and healing through light, frequency, and coherence, blending science with spirituality in a powerful way. So, in this conversation today, we're diving in what it really means to heal from the inside out, redefining masculinity and emotional strength and how you can begin your own journey back to wholeness. If right now you feel broken. So if you ever felt broken, stuck, or searching for the light in a dark season, this episode is for you. So, with that intro, I can't wait to dive in. So, Jared, as we set the table for this conversation, your story is one of those that could have broken many people, but instead it rebuilt you. Can you take us back to the moment when everything started falling apart or fell apart?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and and it was some time ago. Um, and it wasn't a short period. It was probably about a 14-year stretch. Um, with one, you know, call it speed bump after another. Um, I call them speed bumps, others might call them something a lot greater. Um, but it really started with, you know, uh a guy like me who grew up in athletics in a loving home that always liked to do everything um to the extreme, uh because I enjoyed it. Um I still enjoy it. I I don't know what half-assing it means. Um, and I think part of that personality that was, you know, ingrained in me, maybe not by my mother, because I'm sure she wished I'd take it in easy in some some instances, but but in my father, and probably made me, you know, who I am and and and and gave me the tools I needed to power through. Um, so half-assed doesn't just mean in work or in sports or in you know fun. Um it means in in rebuilding too. Um, so my you know, I I think the the the the mountain top for me uh or the first mountaintop was was um a life in in the golf business. I'm I had a degree in agricultural sciences, still do, um, and and I specialize in golf course maintenance and and operations. Um and uh I I did very, very well at that. I I sat on numerous boards uh within the industry. Um I thought of myself as an industry leader and very successful in what I was doing. And and leading up to that moment, uh, you know, it's important to understand that I had never I was always a guy that got the first job I interviewed for. I never went to an interview that I wasn't hired for. Um similarly, I've never lost a job. And so, right when I thought I was at the peak of my career, um uh a boss was a superior of mine was was put in place. And you know, contrary to to my belief, he was undermining me at every turn, uh until the point where he he had you know convinced the ownership group that that I wasn't the right person for the job. And and so I had lost that job. And uh that was big for me, right? So for a guy that had never been through something like that before, it was it was humbling to to say the least. Um what what I did in that moment was decide that I wasn't gonna feel sorry for myself. I still woke up every morning, I took a shower, I got dressed, um, I went downstairs to an unfinished basement where I had an old dining room table set up and and a laptop, and I pretended to work every day. Um and and uh that was important because I couldn't get out of my routine, right? And I knew something was gonna happen. And I I say pretending, but I was I was looking, uh obviously. Um, but uh but then the phone rang and it was a golf course that that needed help through relationships that I had built. Uh, you know, people started to reach out. So one golf course turned into two, turned into three. Um, and then I I sat back and I thought, you know, if if I could be earning this money without trying, um, without looking for opportunities like this, I mean, I wonder what the possibilities would be if I actually applied myself and jumped into now a consulting role uh with new feet. And so that's what I did. And I ended up building a fairly lucrative uh and successful consulting business where I was consulting with with some of the best golf courses in Canada from coast to coast. Um, and uh and then my dad died. Um dad had been going through a nine-year battle with cancer, um, and it finally came to an end. So the my job loss was in 2010, the loss of my father was in in 2013. And my dad, I kind of alluded to him, right? He was a he was a hero. He taught taught me a lot of of what I know today, and and he was an inspiration. He was very successful in his own right. Um, and I looked up to him, but not only as a father, but as a friend. And and you know, at that time I would have considered him probably, you know, one of, or if not, my best friend. So his his loss shook me. Um, and and what followed wasn't any better. It's uh um I I walked out of losing my dad into a uh into a divorce. Um and the divorce was not one that was easy at all. Um my lawyer told me to, you know, um not to abandon the matrimonial home because I could inadvertently be, you know, giving up some rights to my children, and I wasn't about to do that. So I slept on a couch for 18 months um until I could finally get things sorted and and and dealt with appropriately so that I could have the relationship with my with my kids that was was dear to me.
SPEAKER_01Well that is difficult, yeah.
SPEAKER_02And uh, but you know, we we we persevere and um I ended up getting a phone call. Um a cousin, my cousin was was getting married in California. So I was living in Toronto at the time, and he was getting married in California, and uh he invited me down to a stag, and he was managing a very large-scale uh cannabis uh cultivation and and dispensary chain uh in Southern California. And with my background in agricultural sciences, he asked me to take a look at his crops and his operations and whatnot. And at the time they were struggling with a few things, and and so I I had a look and um I ended up I ended up um they uh making some suggestions, essentially told them that that they were kind of lost, um, doing things a little bit archaically. And and and so I wanted to bring some science into what they were doing, and they asked me back. I I found a lab at the time. This is before you know things was were getting pretty popular within cannabis, but I found a lab in Northern California that was willing to work with me. And um, and so I started doing a lot of tissue sampling, soil sampling, and put together a plan for them to get them through what they were going through. Um, that resulted in the partners wanting me down there full time. So um I ended up I ended up getting uh my my visas and order and everything and and uh moved to California, not permanently. I was still commuting back and forth on a weekly basis to see my kids. So from Toronto to California, every week I was on a plane doing that, doing that uh travel. Um and then um and and things were going very, very, very well. I was I was having a lot of fun and doing very, very well. Um, and uh and ended up becoming one of the managing directors of the company and and overseeing things more so in the retail space now. And um and uh while my two girls were were vacationing uh with my new wife, um uh beautiful woman uh who I adore and and cherish. Um we were on a family, family trip and we were boating, and uh uh my wife and I were being towed on the tube. Um, and uh when when the tube uh when we fell off the tube, the boat driver dropped us off the boat. And uh um, you know, what what happened following was was was you know horrific. And and that was uh, you know, my wife and I surfaced and we were laughing and and we looked to the front and and um the boat driver's wife was swimming to us with with uh something in her arms saying she's gone, she's gone. And um we realized she's holding the life fest. And um my oldest daughter um went over when the boat stopped. My oldest daughter went over the front and and the propeller ripped off her life jacket. She died. And um we didn't we didn't see her again for four days. Um and and through those four days of of showing up at that lake, um, you know, my wife and I had to reenact it over and over and over again, going around on the tube, being pulled by the boat in the same location to try to pinpoint where she was. We had uh we this was out by Camp Pendleton in Southern California. So we had uh we had dive teams from um from the military out there looking. We had search and rescue from from all different uh first responders. Uh we had submarines and radar and and and everything. It was it was uh quite quite quite an ordeal. Um and um so so yeah, we we we lost her. And um you know again, I uh I I you don't have a lot of uh choices in when in times like those or or in any bad times. Um you have two, right? And and those two choices are pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and and and understand that that there's people around you that that love you and and even more importantly than that are depending on you. Um and and so you gotta get back to work and and and you know make sure your priorities are in order and and do what you as has has as a man should do, and and that's you know, provide and protect for for your family. And and so that's what I did. I I still had bills to pay, they didn't go away. Um, and and so I I I went back to work and and um went back to the grind. And truthfully, I I did it too early. Um I I ended up you know tearing into my staff pretty heavily uh on one occasion because when I went back to work, I wasn't happy with the state of the business when I got back after being gone for two weeks. And and uh I looked as I did that, I looked around the room and I had almost every one of them in tears, and uh uh which of course prompted me to burst out into tears and and uh you know I apologized and and I excused myself and took took some more time off work, but um got you know back into work and back into the swing of things, and and again business started to to boom. Um, launched a really great concert series around uh around the retail stores that would bring in some pretty quality acts, um, and also in in bringing in um uh a lot of customers on the days of the of the concert. So it was it was a lot of fun and it was super successful. And then COVID happened and and the border locked down and and I had a choice, another choice to make um stay in California and and and manage the business or or and not be with my daughter or go home and and and be a father. Um and and obviously losing a second daughter wasn't an option for me. So so I moved back and and tried to operate the business from from Toronto and and did that you know somewhat well um for probably about a year or year and a half. And what I wasn't aware of is that my my business partner was was selling off assets um while that was away um to yeah to feed his his drug and and gambling problems. So um there's me too, Jared.
SPEAKER_01Oh my goodness. Wow.

SPEAKER_02Life, life, life was hard for for you know a good period of time. And um, but again, I I you know you can sit there and and woe is me, and you know, what are you gonna do now? And the reality was I still had all those relationships um uh from my previous life in the golf business, and and so I started calling on golf courses again. Um and then an opportunity came up with uh a company that at the time was was representing um this technology you see behind me um in a way that they worked with clinics or centers uh around the world that employed this technology. And and what that company did was drive um leads and and traffic to those clinics um to help them with their business. And and so I ended up running that business and and sort of just before that, um, I started to experience some considerable back pain, and and that back pain progressed into excruciating pain, which progressed into some numbness, which progressed into um some you know falling, uh playing baseball with with uh in the men's league. I would uh my head would be running faster than my legs would keep up and I would start falling a lot. And so my wife eventually said, Jared, that's that's enough. Let's let's go to the hospital. And and so I did, and they did uh an MRI um and found that my spinal cord was so severely compressed I was I was dangerously close to paralysis. Um so they they didn't want me to leave and and I had to heed their advice and and I had emergency spinal surgery basically on the spot and walked out of there with you know a 12-inch scar on on my spine. Um and then that's when I started working with with this company, and and uh that's when the light system, which is what you see behind me, came into my life. Um and and this system is more than you know a pyramid and and a cube. It it is a uh a technology that works with spirituality, um, biophotonic collisions, uh, coded affirmations, polychromatic therapy, um, all these tools that are all designed to put your body in a better position to heal itself. And what a beautiful thing for me to come into this technology at the time in my life when I I needed something good to happen. Right. And um, and so it did. I was I was, you know, after spinal surgery, you're bedridden. And when I left the hospital, the doctor told me, the surgeon told me to stay out of the gym for six months. Um, I wasn't arguing with them because I was in excruciating pain. Um, about two and a half, three weeks out from surgery, I I got off the painkillers. Um, I did that because of you know what I saw my business partner go through, and and I didn't want to have any part of that. So, but in doing that, I wasn't doing myself any favors. I came with with that came a lot and a lot of of pain. Um, but by week six or so, six or seven is when I I I got some of this technology into my house and and I was around it for now 18 hours a day because it was in my office in my bedroom, and and uh just like that, I started to feel a lot better by week 10. Remember at week five or six, I was ready to give up. By week 10, I was back in the gym after the doctors told me. And so that's 14.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I wouldn't have I wouldn't have chanced it. I would have still continued feeling good and not go to the gym.
SPEAKER_02But I guess for me, for me, going to the gym was going to the gym is important.
SPEAKER_01Yes, I I know, yes, I know. Jared, oh my gosh, you definitely are the living, the the the modern day job. That was a lot of stuff. Oh my goodness. And even though they're all bad, I I I as a mother, I I I can't I can't fathom the pain that you would have gone through to witness such a horror, horrific. My heart bleeds for you, but you went back to work in two weeks. My goodness. Wow. Um so I want to stay on that one for a minute. For someone that's listening that have not gone through half the stuff, maybe they lost their job. Maybe they were embezzled by a partner, you know, maybe they bankruptcy with no money, divorce, um, uh, you know, sleeping on the couch uh in a battle because when you're doing that, it's a confrontation, it's a battle every day. Um what was your mental health like? What would you before you got into the light system? Take us through how you dealt with the with the mental health issues or your thoughts and tell us about your book.
SPEAKER_02My father was not a religious man, but he was a spiritual man. Um and I think he instilled a lot of that in me. As a child before my sporting events, we we would lay on the living floor together, and he would make me visualize every every play, every goal, every every score, every race, whatever it is, so that I can visualize and see the outcome. Because even back then, you know, I just turned 50 last week and I'm going back to when I was, you know, eight years old. But even back then, he was trying to instill in me that that that um you know if my mind can believe and truly believe, my body will follow. And so consciously or subconsciously, I I don't know, I can't tell you, but but that must have stuck with me because even today and and even through all of that, I've always understood that I don't have time to think about what was. There's too much stuff going on to waste any energy on something that has happened. Because the only thing that is important is what happens next. They say in golf, the most important shot in golf is the next one, right? So take all the shit that just happened. You know, you've so what you're in the bunker, so what you went in the pond. It doesn't matter. What are you doing next? And and so that's that's my life, and that's that's the way I try to live, and that's the way I try to coach my my daughter on on how to live. You can't you can't dwell on it. So it's a waste of time, it's a disservice to you, it's a disservice to the people around you, and and all you can do is focus on what's next.
SPEAKER_01Okay. So how did I'm still I'm still here, I'm still stuck. Um so when you when you lose a child, what's next there?
SPEAKER_02So listen, if I sit here and tell you that I was not spending night after night screaming into a pillow, um asking why, um, I'd be lying, right? It is but these are all normal behaviors, and and this is stuff that I had to get out. And I worry my wife. I mean, she's never seen you like that. And and and and when I say screaming into a pillow, I mean like uncontrollably weeping non-stop. It was bizarre, it was devastating. You can see I'm emotional right now, it's been six years, and you know, I I I know I'll never get over it. But but I also know that I have no choice but to perform on a daily basis because if I don't, I have another little girl at home that needs her dad to be there for her. Um she does.
SPEAKER_01She's got she's she was there, she has trauma as well, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay. All right, so yeah, I mean, I'm sorry for um Bright, because there's no greater pain in the world than um burying your child. There's none, right? You know, spouse is close, but your children is is there's no greater pain. But I mean, they can die in bed or they can get cancer. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the seeing, huh? Anyway, yes, um uh that was perfect, and that was um something that's gonna stay with you for life. So, but I like the spirituality form of it that you mentioned with the visualization. Um, and and and yes, um, you know, anything that you train your mind to. I mean, in this work that I do, I'm calling it Transform Your Mind. And and I'm in the space where I know that if you visualize things and if you think about it and if you pray about it, and and if if if it becomes something that you want so badly, it will happen. But I'm still surprised when I see people that I didn't think had a shot. But but after wanting it so badly, it happens for them. I'm still shocked. So it's true what your dad, your dad taught me to visualize it. And and as you were talking, that is exactly what the Olympics, the Olympians do, and you know, Steph Curry, why he can shoot those shots because he visualizes in his mind and he knows where he's going and he can do it blindfolded. So that, yeah, that's um, you know, uh, that's an important um skill to develop. And when you're going through a 14-year stretch where like where you call them speed bumps, right? You're you're you're up and down, up and down, right? Um, you can say, hey, you know what? These speed bumps are carrying me somewhere. I'm visualizing where I'm going. You know, nothing is easy. So I can understand that. But when you when you're talking about that kind of tragedy, it's I just wanted to, I just wanted to hear um for myself and for our listeners how you how you uh dealt with that.
SPEAKER_02So there was there, and to be clear, like this was not something that I did immediately. This is took me time, and it took me time to understand, and and it took me honestly, being around this that you see behind me to to fully understand, because it's not just about visualizing. Visualizing and and and and having your mind believe is one thing, but why is that important? And and the reason why that is important is is because through visualization and through your mind believing, once your mind truly believes, everything around us is frequency and frequency-based. And when when we believe something, we whether you believe it or not, we're emitting a frequency. And we have high frequencies and we have low frequencies. And but when your mind truly believes in in the beauty of something, right, that that beauty will transcend, that beauty will develop in front of you. We know this through, you know, the the work of Dr. Osariamoto, who who did a lot of research on on the power of words on on water. And what yeah, and what he found was that you know it water doesn't have eyes or ears and doesn't speak French, English, or any kind of language in particular, yet if you were to speak to it, those words have the ability to restructure the water. So if you speak to it positively or beautifully, it will restructure in a beautiful way. And if you speak to it negatively or or um it will it will restructure in a more chaotic, non-coherent form. And and so how could that be, right? How can that be if it doesn't have eyes and it doesn't have ears and it doesn't and it doesn't understand language? And and the reality is that's because every word carries a frequency, and it's that frequency of the word that restructures the water. And what is water? Water is all around us, right? So my frequency has the ability, even though you and I are looking at each other through a computer screen, my frequency has the ability to restructure the water in your cells. I can turn you into a pretty angry person right now, right? And and I could also put a lovely smile on your face. I have that ability, I own that, I'm accountable for being able to do either one. And and and the beautiful part about that is Dr. Emoto took it one step further, and not only was he speaking to the water, but he was thinking to the water. And even through his thoughts, those same words through his thoughts carry that same frequency that restructured the water in either a positive or a negative way. And that's the same thing with affirmation. So now that your mind believes, your frequency changes, right? And that's that frequency that impacts every single thing around you every minute, every day, every week, every month, every year, so on and so forth.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so that's great. Well, you know, I um I had a guest on here a couple um months ago, and he gave me uh something that he it's called a love tuner. And he when you blow it, it it emits the 528 hertz frequency. So I would go walk in the park, and when I meditate and all that, I would, you know, blow it so that I can get into the 528 hertz frequency, frequency of love. But then I was listening to a talk at a podcast recently, and the girl was saying that um what you're broadcasting is very important. So before you start the podcast interview, you should play 528 hertz frequency and get into the 528 hertz because it's what you're broadcasting. You know what I mean? So I've I know exactly what you're talking about, you know, what you're broadcasting. And then there's this monk that I follow on Instagram that's talking about putting water in a glass bottle or a glass at night, holding it and speaking to that water because he's saying that your words are gonna, and I haven't done it yet, but you've convinced me that I need to get that, I need to do that. But he talks about speak holding the glass and speaking it, just like how that the doctor I don't did, and he's giving the water instructions. So, and he says, put it by your bed and and and and don't drink it when you wake up, just throw it out, but you're you're you're doing that. So thank you for um uh for introducing that. I know we'll get into more of that later in the um later in our conversation. But all right, so you've gone through a 14-year stretch of bad things happening to you, and you know, it didn't even stop at your daughter's death. It it kept going on, you know. So, what exactly did you tell yourself? And that's before the light system. What did you tell yourself that I'm not staying here? I'm not staying as a broken, beaten down person, I'm rebuilding my life. How did you get there?
SPEAKER_02I don't know that you would believe me. Um it goes back to I never had that conversation with myself. And again, I I didn't have the time to have that conversation with myself because I still had to pick my daughter up from school, I still had to drop her off, I still had to help her with her homework, I still have a beautiful, loving wife that didn't want to see me in shambles, right? I had to I had to be there for them. And in being there for them, I I was there for for myself. I I am proud of the father and husband that I am. And and I couldn't have done that without them. I mean, my my daughter's perfect, my wife is my wife is perfectly beautiful, right? It's I I couldn't I couldn't be proud of the husband I am if it and a father that I am if if those two weren't perfect, right? So um I have a responsibility to to be there for them. And so there was no conversation with myself. There was no, you know, I I say you have a choice to make, but it it's not that you sit there and say, Okay, am I gonna do this or am I gonna do that? You react, we're reactionary, and and again it life doesn't go away, life keeps on going. I mean, you're you're completely arrogant and selfish if you think that it's gonna stop just for you, right? Those those bills pile up and and you you know you gotta pay them. The the the banks don't care, your insurance company doesn't care, the hydro company doesn't care what you're going through. I mean, my money and and so there's there's no time to to do that. Um even even taking time off work. I mean, as a business owner, you know, you know, there is no you know uh uh grief leave or or or or whatever it's called, mourning and bereavement time. Um that doesn't exist, right? You you you own a business and and and sure there's a lot of perks to that, but you know, the business has to go on. And and if you're not going to work and you're not performing, then the bills don't get paid.
SPEAKER_01Right. Okay. Well, you kind of answered a question. You said that you have a family, you have a life, and you can't just stay there. You've got to rebuild because you have to do it for them. Which brings me to the question I have here um about masculinity, strength. So, what do you think men are getting wrong today about being strong? So would you classify the fact that you had to look after or take care of your daughter and your wife um and your business as strength? Or is that what being strong is about?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I mean, absolutely that that requires strength. I mean, to be to be perfectly clear, I mean that that requires strength from both men and women, right? I'm not I I believe in masculinity, but I'm not a chauvinist. I I you know I I'm not a misogynist by any stretch. In fact, I I worship women. Um, part of masculinity is is uh I mean, holding doors open and closing doors for for women. It's it's I mean, my wife is uh a ping pong ball as we're walking down the street because I'm always putting myself between her and the car between me and the guy that's threatening, that's looks threatening coming down the street. I'm moving her left, right, left, right, right? And I do the same thing for my daughter. Masculinity is is is providing and perfecting for providing and protecting for those who you love and and and respecting those around you.
SPEAKER_01Okay, all right, and it's still part of strength. Um, yeah, physical strength, like you said, you know, emotional strength and masculinity. That's awesome, awesome.
SPEAKER_02And I I would say that you know you can't protect without physical strength.
SPEAKER_01True. True, true, true, right, right. So um let's talk more about um the light frequency and coherence. I was telling you that I was doing a meditation on the coherence, but I still don't understand that word. I know that um it is uh being in alignment, I think, right? So tell us about um uh you know the light system and the frequency and coherence, because I understood what you were talking about with frequency, because I spend a lot of time on um frequency. Like I mentioned, 528 Hertz frequency is what I'm what I um, you know saturating in right now. But um uh for 20 years of my life, I was um into the frequency of of um the law of attraction and and making sure that you're you have a positive frequency because the the positive frequency is what's gonna attract to you what you want. So I was I was not breaking down like the 528 and the 928 or all those other frequencies that they have. I was just into law of attraction frequency and making sure that I have positive energy because my focus was attracting um good things to me and not bad things. Because you're right, you could make me um uh angry by the words you say, and then my body would respond and the whole thing. And then, you know, people talk about hey, you know, I start my day um chaotic and my whole day is chaotic because that's the frequency that you're in. So I've I've always been into that kind of frequency. So tell us more about the frequency that you're talking about with the light frequency and explain the coherence part of it.
SPEAKER_02So we our technology works in a number of different ways, but the three main pillars, if you will, um, are polychromatic therapy, which is full spectrum light therapy or color therapy. So everybody is well aware by now about the benefits of red light therapy. The reality is that every single color of light brings benefit, even even blue that everybody poo-poos right now, even blue light, you know, has a direct impact on your circadian rhythm and not necessarily bad. It it can help your circadian rhythm. You receive blue light from the sun, and that sets your tone for your day and your sleep patterns at night. Now, if you receive too much blue light at night, then then you're messing with your circadian rhythm settling for for for bed and whatnot. So that's what that's that's what the real issue is. But blue, blue also has other benefits such as uh anti-inflammatory benefits, and and green is really good for calming your nervous system, and yellow is good for digestion, and orange is good for reproduction, um, and and so on and so forth. So um every color provides a benefit, and we employ all the colors. So we have we can tap into 64 different colors, you know, equating to uh 288,000 different color combinations. Not that that's important because nobody's really gonna use all of them, but the reality is is you can receive the benefits of of all of the colors. Um and and so beyond that, we have uh polycur, or sorry, uh biophotonic collisions. So our larger systems, these are some of our in-home units. Um, our larger systems have opposing monitors, um, meaning, you know, it would be something like this and something like this facing each other. And when the photons leave each opposing monitor right where they collide, they create a burst of energy. Um, and that energy increases your uh the cellular the electroconductivity within your cells. So that's super important because we're electrical beings, right? First and foremost, you know, we don't we don't put gas in our tank, right? We we run on electricity, and historically that electricity has been has been acquired through rest and digestion, right? Sleeping at night and eating during the day. Um, and that's how we got our get our energy. The problem is is today we're not even really eating food, so we're not getting the energy from the food that we once did. And at night when we're sleeping, we've got the Wi-Fi bouncing around in the rooms, and and that's that's impacting the quality of sleep that we're getting. And so instead of waking up in the morning with a tank full of of electricity, we're waking up in the morning with a half tank or a quarter tank or three-quarter tank, but whatever it is. Now, factor in disease or or or stress or or um you know anything that you might be going through. I mean, you you catch a cold, right? You if you're like me, you could eat the entire house, you could clean out the refrigerator, and you don't gain a pound because your body needs that energy to fight the cold. And it's the same thing with with anything you're dealing with, right? With when when you now have an added stress, whatever that added stress is, illness or disease or a fight with a loved one or a fight with a stranger or stress at work, all of that requires more energy to be able to cope and fight and combat. So now you're starting the day here instead of here, and then throughout the day, you keep getting driven down further and further and further. And what ends up happening when when you're when your reserve and energy is too low, when you're truly exhausted, when you're completely depleted, that's when you get sick. Right. So if you get a splinter, your body will push that splinter out, no problem. If you cut yourself, you'll your that cut will heal. If you catch a cold, that cold will heal. But if your energy level is so low that you can't fight that cold, that cold could progress into pneumonia. That cut could become septic. Your body no longer has the tools that it needs to fight. So um normally it's totally fine. But through all the outside environmental stressors and the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat, and the Wi-Fi and the electricity, and dealing with people that that aren't good energy, you know, all that stuff weans us down. Couple that with now an illness, and now you're in trouble. And so um, what the light system does through those by that biophotonic collision, it increases the electroconductivity within your body cells, it replenishes your tank and allows your body to operate on a more optimum level. And being at a more optimum level, your body now is in a better condition to do what it knows how to do, what it wants to do, and what it can do, and that is heal itself from whatever is ailing it. For me, it was the mental aspect of dealing with all of the stuff that I've been through in my life and the physical trauma on my spine. That is how it helped me. And you visit our our website, shameless plug for lightsystems.com, and and see you can see the hundreds of testimonials of some really miraculous stuff. So um that's that's that's a second avenue. If I get back to the third, um, so we have polychromatic therapy, full spectrum light therapy, bio biophotonic collisions, but back to your question about coherence. The last is coded affirmations. So scrolling through the screens are a series of affirmations. And remember, I talked about the impact of water and and and you could struck restructure the water through thought. This is a similar thing. All of our affirmations are coded because you don't have to see them in order to receive them. Um through the same science that Dr. Saryyamoto you know spoke about and and and and learned is that that frequency still exists even though you can't read it. So it's hidden behind a different font. And we do that because it's not designed to have you. At it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All you have to do is be around it. But why this is important is because, as we discussed earlier, through affirmations, we are restructuring the water within our body. Our body is 70% at least water. And if we can restructure that water in a more coherent state, now we are increasing the efficiency in which that added electricity that we just spoke about can flow through your body. And that's what you know Dr. Joe talks about is the efficiency, the coherence in which energy flows through your body. And even, I mean, the East calls it chakras, right? Um, all your chakras need to be aligned. And and we know, I mean, some of us know that when you have a problem, it's because you have a blockage of energy somewhere along those chakras. But let's just call it our spine, right? I mean, I have a dear friend of mine who's who's a chiropractor, and he knows that you know, through alignments, he is increasing the efficiency in which energy can flow through our body. He's not just going in and and cracking you like your knuckle to to to relieve some pain. It's not what he's doing. He's he's legitimately fixing the energy superhighway that runs through our bodies.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah. So with these affirmations, I um I was always told, because your system is a little different, but let's say that I were I was to hold this bottle, this glass jar with water in my hand, and I would say an affirmation, let's let's pick one. Um, you know, I am super healthy, right? And uh you're just calling it into action, right? You just you're speaking it into existence, right? But let's say that I have, I don't want to call a disease on myself, but I have a disease. So when I say it to the water, if I don't believe it, is it gonna work? So in your systems, um the affirmations that's being said, if I don't believe them, will they still work? Or it's bypassing my my thoughts and going straight to the system.
SPEAKER_02It is, and and so you think you're speaking to the water in the glass, but you're not, you're speaking to the water within your cells. Now that that goes both ways, right? You you slam the corridor on your finger and you go, oh, you idiot, right? You have now told your body that you're an idiot, your body doesn't, and it even it's worse than that. If I call a stranger an idiot on the street, right? The water within my body hears idiot and doesn't know I'm talking to that stranger, just thinks I'm the idiot, right? So, yeah, you're not speaking to that water, you're speaking to your water, and and that water doesn't have an understanding, it only has an ability to react to the frequency that you are you are putting out there.
SPEAKER_01So the answer question, if the frequency I'm putting out is disbelief, then it's not gonna work.
SPEAKER_02Right. But the beauty about it, and and this is something that I that I learned recently. I I wish I could validate it, I can't. I just saw it on Instagram, but it sounds pretty cool. Every religion, be it be it, uh, you know, um uh whether you're a Jewish or Muslim or or Christian, all of these religions speak to their food before they eat, right? They deliver mantras. Christians saying Greece. Right. And and the interesting part is every one of these mantras carry the same frequency or very similar frequency. And so, you know, going back thousands and thousands of thousands of years, our ancestors knew, and that's what they were doing. They were restructuring the food before they ingested the food.
SPEAKER_01That's good because food is solid, it's not water, but you can yeah, we bless our food, right? And say, make make it be nourishing to our bodies. So you're giving it. It's good, that's good. I didn't never heard that one before. That one is a new one to me. All right, so um uh, you know, let's end with this question. For someone who feels broken right now, they're emotionally, physically, or spiritually broken. What do they do to even begin it to rebuild? What's the first step? Let's say that, you know, we're gonna send them to your light system in a minute, but let's say that um uh they're not there yet. They what's the first thing that they can do on their own?
SPEAKER_02Listen, I I I'm very fortunate in that I'm surrounded by people that love and care for me. And and and I know that there are a lot of people out there that might not have that luxury, right? So I get up every morning and and have the ability and and and and been blessed for the ability to be able to do it for others if I can't do it for myself, right? Um, and not everybody has that, but but the reality is is is you know you still have that choice to make, and and that choice is always going to be um sadness or or happiness, and and uh I'll I'll look you right in the eyes and tell you, am I happy all of the time? Absolutely not. I mean, I I had a birthday last week and and I I wish my daughter was there for me with me to celebrate my 50th birthday. Um, you know, it it still to this day hurts me that she couldn't be there with me, right? So not every day is gonna be happy, but it's important is that you have more happy days than than sadness. Yes, very important. And you're not gonna do that if you continue to look behind you. And so what you need to do from the very beginning, from the onset, is always look forward. It's okay to have a day of mourning, it's okay to have a day of sadness, but don't let that one day turn into two, turn into three, turn into a month, you know, and so on and so forth. Um, you've got to look ahead and then and look at what what life can bring you, because just as it can bring you a pile of shit, it can bring you a mountain of hope, too.
SPEAKER_01It's true, right? That's actually very good advice. Yes, yes, very good advice. You know, the Bible says, why worry, or you know, you can't affect it. So it's the same thing, you know, it's a past is the past. And one of the things that's helped me, and I will, you know, leave this for my listeners, is that the saying, and I and I heard it from a monk, you know, in one of these religious fables, it's not Christian, but it says, this too shall pass. It's an Indian guru thing. This too shall pass. And and and and and the and the sobering thing about that statement is that the good things will pass as well as the bad things will pass, right? Because life is is cyclical, right? So yeah, you know, whatever you're going through right now, it's just a speed bump. I like your term, speed bump, and it will pass, right? And um, and I've seen so many people that are so many rags to riches stories or riches to rags stories because you go up, you go down, right? Right. You know, very few people just coast all through life on this even highway with no bumps, right? You know, it's a bit boring actually. So um that's that's a that's a um that's a good way to um to say yes, this shoe shall pass and look forward. And if we want to plug in what your father taught you, visualize, not only visualize where the ball is gonna go, but visualize where you want your life to go. And that's what I do. I just came back yesterday, um, you know, from traveling. And whenever I'm in the airplane, that's what I'm doing. I have in the back of my mind that you know that energy up there, it is, you know, the quantum field that if you think about it, you can change those particles.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_01You can change those particles to waves. So that's what I'm doing. Yes, awesome. All right. So tell our listeners um uh how they can uh get in contact with you, um uh your social media handles and your website.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so we're at um sorry, the light systems, that's plural, thelight systems.com. Uh you can find us on Instagram at uh the the light dot system um or TLS marketplace. Yeah, TLS Marketplace. Um and then myself jerry.berricket. TLS, the light system.
SPEAKER_01TLS Oh, I see, right. Marketplace. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and you can check out all our cool tech and also some you know complimentary products at TLSmarketplace.shop.
SPEAKER_01Awesome, awesome, awesome. Well, as we wrap up, guys, just wanted to say what a powerful conversation. Jared's story is such a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is still light within us waiting to be discovered. I love what he shared about rebuilding from the inside out because true transformation isn't just about changing your circumstances, it's about changing your energy, your mindset, and your connection to yourself. So I will have um uh links to um Jared's website, Instagram um handle, and his shop on the show notes. So you can just head over there to myhelps.us and click on it, or you can get it from the podcast show notes. But yeah, I mean, I was I was very, very impressed with um the work of the Frequency because I mean a lot of times, you know, I've spoken to a lot of people on the show about grief. And just as Jared said, six years later he still grieves his daughter, because it doesn't go away. But one of the great things is that we can do with a system like this is it helps you along. It helps you with the days when you're dumb and you feel like the wave has just knocked you over, right? Because I understand what you know, grief is is cyclical. One day you're feeling good and the next day you're knocked down. Then this can help you build back up that energy because what happens in life is when you keep your energy low. We're talking about disease and chakras. If your chakra is blocked, then that's what happened. Disease comes in. So when you have little energy, the diseases come, and then when the diseases come, you don't have the energy to fight it. So this is a great system to help you fill up your tank, right? And uh when you don't even feel like it, because you don't feel like it, right? You've been knocked on too much. All right, so I really enjoyed our conversation, Jared. And I'm I'm really sorry that you had to go through all that. You know, we we we really don't need to go through all that, you know what I mean? Yes, I do. We need to have a couple of speed bumps, but not one every couple of years, you know what I mean? So I'm sorry you had to go through that, but you look happy, healthy. So you have bounced back, you have rebuilt, and this is great to show someone right now that's in that low, right? That it is possible. So as we wrap up, any last words?
SPEAKER_02No, I I mean, listen, I I I enjoy these talks, and and you know, it it's one thing to go through, you know, what I've been through, it's another thing to pull yourself out uh of what I've been through. But you know, what's truly rewarding is if you can help people going through what you've been through. So um, you know, hopefully, hopefully somebody out there has heard me and and hopefully somebody out there understands that that it's uh you know it's a feat, but it's a feat worth worth worth um facing head on. And and and it feels good coming out the other side. And and there are tools just like the ones behind me that can help you, and not just dealing with with grief and trauma and everything else, but but the possibilities with this, I mean, they really do create a more optimum human being. I I love the man I am when I sit within my technology uh or within our technology. It's it's it's nothing short of miraculous stuff. It's it's awesome. So check us out.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, definitely. And you're the perfect poster child for this work, too, you know. Amazing. All right, Jared, thank you for being on the show. Thank you guys for tuning in to this week's episode of Transforming Your Mind So You Can Transform Your Life. Today we're talking about transforming your energy, transforming your thoughts, and transforming your light body after it's been knocked down by Voss in all forms. So if this episode spoke to you, I encourage you to take a moment and reflect. What is one what is one area of your life that's calling for healing right now? And whatever that area is, check out Jared's system. You know, uh listen, re-listen to this podcast because there are lots of nuggets in here that can help you. So thank you, Jared, for being on the show. Thank you guys for tuning in. Until next time, Namaste. There we go.
