Start Your Transformation Now
In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim explores a provocative idea: the listener has no birth date. While the body has an incarnation date, the soul — the true source of power — never dies and therefore was never born. Jim explains that most people live exclusively from their 3D, mechanistic identity, completely disconnected from the continuous soul-consciousness that is the actual source of all power, peace, and creation.
Jim unpacks why chasing external power — money, status, recognition — is an outdated model of consciousness that is rapidly collapsing as humanity evolves into higher levels of awareness. He reveals the single word that secretly sabotages most people's ability to create what they want, and offers a radically different way to relate to desire itself.
This episode challenges listeners to stop chasing and start remembering who they truly are.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
(00:00) You have no birth date — Jim introduces the central idea that while the body has an incarnation date, the soul is continuous and was never born, and explains why this is the seat of true power.
(03:24) Continual vs. continuous — Jim distinguishes between the body's continual, repeating incarnations and the soul's continuous, unbroken existence, and why identifying with soul changes everything.
(10:13) There is no point A and point B — Jim dismantles the manifestation myth that separates a person from their desire, using the metaphor of a small wave and a big wave both being made of the same substance.
(15:56) Old power structures are crumbling — Jim explains why external forms of power (money, politics, status) are an outdated 3D model collapsing as consciousness evolves into a 5D paradigm.
(23:15) The hidden danger of "I need" — Jim reveals how the word "need" instantly creates separation from the thinking substance that creates all things, and why this keeps people stuck.
(27:10) To need nothing is to have everything — Jim shares the epiphany that anything available to others is available to the listener, and closes with a final truth meant to be felt rather than analyzed.
Listen, apply, and enjoy!
Transformational Takeaway
The body has a birth date, but the soul does not — and remembering this is where real power begins. Most people sabotage their own desires by living from "I need," a word that instantly creates separation from the one substance that all things, including the listener, are made of. There is no point A and point B, no chasing, no struggling to close a gap that was never truly there. The invitation in this episode is simple but profound: stop relating to life from need, and start relating to it from wholeness. To need nothing is to have everything.

Are You A Turkey, Otter, Badger, Skunk, or Something Else? In all my time doing the podcast I’m surprised that I’ve never talked in depth about “Animal Medicine.” So, here you go. I was introduced to “Animal Medicine” two decades ago and I have consistently used it over the years for healing and guidance. Many of the students in my transformational program initially had not heard of it and when they start using it they become surprised at the true guidance it can help us within life.
Most people believe they are the sole architects of their decisions. But in truth, many factors influence our choices. Whether it’s career-related or a new relationship, outside elements have a tendency to sway our thinking. In this episode, Jim breaks down a belief he calls the brainwashed script. He explains that most people follow pre-programmed prompts without even realizing it. Even when a decision feels spontaneous, he says it can be traced to early childhood moments. Using an early ‘90s children’s Tylenol commercial as an example, he explains that we are often persuaded to do something based on an idea planted in the subconscious mind. In these situations, analytical thinking goes out the window, and a decision is made solely based upon the seed planted.
Yes, you read the headline correctly. Fear is the cure for fear. Why? Because you’ll not go through fear until you go through your fear, hence, fear is the cure for itself. I could spend hours writing fancy copy explaining this episode but it’s as simple as this: Go through your fear or you’ll never go through your fear and when you go through your fear your higher essence and Spirit will be free to soar.
In this episode, Jim tackles the misconception that learning more is the key to transforming life. Yes, knowledge is powerful. But context is everything. Jim uses common vices, like smoking and dieting, to show that knowing something is wrong isn’t enough to make you change. He also explains why piling on more information only confuses you, and uses his experiences as an example.
This episode was inspired by a current student of mine. Essentially, he wrote me a note and was sharing how he’s feeling hopeless about the state of the world, the future of humanity, and the planet. I can definitely understand his fears; however, from my perspective, I’m not hopeless at all. Actually, I’m quite optimistic about the future.
