TL;DR: The author recounts a week of experiences, highlighting the importance of alignment with one’s Broader Perspective. Despite initial plans falling through, the author’s willingness to go with the flow led to a solo trip to the Oregon coast, filled with unexpected joys and breathtaking beauty. This experience serves as a reminder that the Universe delivers what we want, often in unexpected and more satisfying ways.
Yesterday, Thursday, something remarkable happened. Although I’m not that surprised because my alignment to All That Is is producing so many remarkable experiences I find myself barely able to keep up with it all.
What happened Thursday is worth sharing though because it offers so many learning opportunities. Especially for those just beginning, following Law of Attraction, working with the Seth material or other similar practices. What happened also shows how everything we want results from us being aligned. And, that “result” comes as a result of being able to hear; hearing and then immediately following our Broader Perspective guidance.
Let’s dive in.
Soothing destabilization
I’m writing this on Friday, the day after what happened. But the story begins almost exactly one week ago. Last week, I wanted to go to the Oregon coast. I thought it would be a great time to go with a friend of mine. I’ll call her Grace. Grace is pretty spiritually aware. A big aspect of her spiritual orientation is dream work. Her spiritual orientation allows her and I to enjoy our time together.
But Grace also has a past. Like many of us, myself included, she lived her life in contrast: “negative” experiences offering clarity. Clarity she would only realize after the fact. For example, she was part a Christian cult for many years. She met and married her “wasband” in that cult. She also worked many years in a private company I won’t mention that subjected her to a lot of experiences not aligned with who she now knows herself to be.
All that contrast she’s still working through today. From time-to-time a past belief will pop up and destabilize her. Most times, her response to them is admirable. She catches it, soothes herself, then goes on. Sometimes it takes only moments. But sometimes it’s days or weeks.
In the latter instances I won’t hear from her, but I can feel her energy calibrating…
It’s never wrong
So on Tuesday last week I called Grace. I suggested we head to the coast Thursday. She was all in and told me to expect her at my apartment at 10 am Thursday morning.
Thursday morning at 9:30 she texted me. She’d be 20 minutes late, she said. No biggie, I thought, although her being late seems to be developing into a pattern. She arrived 10 minutes earlier than she expected, still 11 minutes late.
When I met her at her car, I could tell something was up. I asked what was happening and tears started flowing down her face. Grace explained that she had a tough morning that involved struggling with technology then wrestling with thoughts and beliefs about always being late, being hard on herself and more. She even worried that I would be mad at her if she arrived late.
I wasn’t mad in that moment. I was more curious. But I did feel some annoyance that she was late.
“Who cares if I get mad?” I asked. “It doesn’t really matter.”
Of course it doesn’t matter. When a person is feeling any emotion, especially negative ones, that emotion has nothing to do with anything happening outside that person. A Positively Focused practice makes this obvious.
But people often take other peoples’ emotional state as indicating they did something wrong. That’s never the case, but we’re all taught at an early age that we can make people feel different things. Again, this is not accurate.
Communication from angels
Eventually it was clear Grace was in no shape to head to the coast. I suggested she head back home and relax instead. I told her I would be totally ok with that. Soothed a bit more, Grace agreed. I got out of her car and she drove off.
I would have enjoyed heading to the coast, but obviously today wasn’t the day. Relaxing myself, I then went back up to my apartment and focused on getting some things done and enjoying my day off. Friday and the weekend came and went.
Tuesday the following week, I wanted to go on a run. The weather wasn’t cooperating though. It started raining although the forecast showed it wouldn’t rain until five hours later. I felt frustrated about that. In that moment I saw 1313 on my phone. I keep my phone on military time, so “1313” is the same as 1:13 p.m. The military time version however is what’s called an “Angel Number” in New Age Circles.
According to experts, 1313 often appears during moments of change, challenge, or shifting emotions, offering reassurance and guidance to help us navigate these experiences with grace. So I knew this Angel Number signified my frustration and an opportunity to navigate that feeling into a better-feeling one. I did so, and shortly after, received the number 1331 on my phone which also is an Angel Number.
1331 is the mirror of 1313. 1331 emphasizes growth through challenges and creatively navigating disruptions. It encourages forward momentum and trust in the process. It also reflects harmony between the inner self and outer circumstances. Seeing 1331 after seeing 1313 indicates a shift into alignment.
I did feel better. But what happened later in the week I know happened because of this inner shift I made.
Going with the flow
Every morning I typically meditate at least once for an hour. Usually I meditate twice, once in the very early morning and again after waking up for the day. On Thursday, none of that happened. I slept through the night Wednesday night. When I woke Thursday, my Broader Perspective spoke to me as clear as someone right next to me.
They said “Go to the Oregon coast today.”
Of course when my Broader Perspective tells me to do something, I usually snap to it. This was no different. It would require renting a car because I don’t have one. I checked the weather and…holy smokes…it was going to be perfect all day. Sunny skies and 55 degrees, both in the city and out on the Oregon coast!
I Googled “rental cars” and got a booking website. The first offering for the date and time I selected was for a Fiat sports car for only $36 a day! What a deal! I checked the details and booked the car. Arriving at the rental center, a friendly counter agent greeted me. I asked if I would get that Fiat and he said no, those cars are reserved at the airport only.
I was slightly disappointed, but remembered the message inherent in 1313. This was an adventure and I was going to go with the flow of it!
Instead of a Fiat, I got a Chevy Malibu, which was actually a comfortable car. What I liked most about it was Apple CarPlay which allowed me to play my music through the car’s excellent speakers.
But the best part was the cost: less than $100 for a 2-day car rental! Insurance included!
A spectacular adventure
My drive to the coast was nothing short of spectacular. Having no responsibility and no job, I took my time, stopping at places and stretching, admiring the views, basically enjoying the whole trip. It was nice traveling the speed limit rather than trying to rush to the destination. I had no destination after all. It was a pure, joyful, solitary adventure.
I planned to head to Cannon Beach or Manzanita, two of my favorite Oregon coast spots. But my Broader Perspective had other plans. After heading through Astoria and admiring that coastal city, my Broader Perspective encouraged me to explore someplace I hadn’t before: a small hamlet called Gearhart.
O.M.G.
Gearhart featured a near-deserted beach stretching at least 10 miles! It was totally flat, the tide was out, and the only others out there besides me were clam hunters. What’s more, the temperature was near 60 degrees! That’s unheard of in December. Usually also in winter the winds pick up on the beach. Not today. The winds barely blew. So I was toasty as I walked up and down the beach for about four hours.
As the sun began setting I got ready to head back to the Malibu. But again, my Broader Perspective had other plans. It encouraged me to wait and enjoy the sunset. There was still an hour before the sun would go down so I grabbed a spot on a really beautiful weatherworn bench and read from my reading device. Then, as the sun set, the sky included a dappling of clouds that arrived in perfect timing.
The glorious sunset at Gearhart, Oregon.
Delivering what we want
As the sun went down it played with earth’s atmosphere to create what I swear was an oil painting in the sky. It was absolutely gorgeous. And, as the sun set I felt warm, magical and blessed as I marveled at how, just a week ago I wanted to visit the beach. And here I was, me and my Broader Perspective, witnessing and appreciating and reveling in an age-old pursuit: enjoying the sun setting.
What great guidance! It was one of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen. After the sun went down, I walked back to the Malibu, then enjoyed a peaceful, easy drive back to my apartment. Of course, I got perfect parking, then reveled in my home.
I reveled in how I held no resistance to not being able to go to the beach last week. In doing so, I lined up with my Broader Perspective which must have known that going on my own would be much more thrilling, much more satisfying.
It sure was! And the weather was perfect, which was not the case last week. Last week was grey and cold.
And this is the thing with All That Is. It delivers what we want. Every time. But sometimes, it delivers things in ways we can’t expect. And if we’re open to it, that unexpected way can be more satisfying than the way we want it to happen.
Often the way we want it to happen includes it happening on the schedule we expect. But if we are willing to go with the flow instead, give up thinking we know the best time for something to happen, or the best way it’s supposed to happen, we’ll be more than pleasantly surprised.
We’ll be thrilled.
Speaking of going with the flow, you’re invited to a 90-minute online event on March 1 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time called Belief Constellations: Politics, Relationships And Our MAGNIFICENT Future. I’ll give a deep dive into what Belief Constellations are and how to use them to align with the fabulous future on the horizon. It’s only $15. Grab a spot, or, if you’re a MeetUp member, go here.
TL;DR: The author emphasizes how beliefs shape our financial reality, using a client’s experience to illustrate how limiting thoughts block opportunities. It argues that aligning beliefs with desires is key to success, revealing that poverty results from mindset, not external forces. Through self-awareness and belief alignment, wealth and fulfillment become achievable.
I wouldn’t say or share any of what you’re about to read to a poor person. They’re just not ready to hear it. What they’ll hear is me blaming them. But this isn’t about blame, it’s about empowerment…
A client’s experiences showed me this week how powerful this You Create Your Own Reality (YCYOR) business is. Our thoughts and beliefs are so powerful, they not only create experiences we call daily life, they also block us from experiencing daily lives containing things we want.
This includes wealth. Indeed, most people, if they’re honest, will say they’d love having more money than they have, no matter how much they do have. If they don’t want more, it’s usually because beliefs existing inside them block that natural desire. Wanting more is the essence of of All That Is. It’s what makes “eternity” possible.
That’s another story though.
In this story, I want to share how our beliefs create realities that literally keep things we want from coming to us, including money. I’m going to show how this works through a recent experience a client had with the Positively Focused practice. His experience, even though he’s far from poor, proves the point I’m making: That poor people stay poor through the beliefs they hold. By “poor” I include those in the middle class who struggle to make ends meet, as well as those below the poverty line.
So let’s get into this. I’m sure we’re going to find what I’m about to share…interesting at the very least.
Trump: Good? Bad?
I’ll call my client “John”. I know, it’s not very creative.
John’s been a client about 50 weeks. He became a client after watching his partner transform for the better right before his eyes. Her example was so positive, he said, he wanted some of what she was getting.
John is successful as a software developer. He’s also quite astute at finance. An ardent progressive, he voted for Harris. So when Trump won the election, John expressed rather strong disappointment, but, because of the Positively Focused practice, he didn’t let that go very far, which left him open for an amazing experience coming.
Fast forward to December. By that point last year, something happened that shocked many observers. The cryptocurrency Bitcoin reached well over $100,000 a token. Historically, past presidential administrations were critical of crypto markets in general and Bitcoin specifically. Indeed, many expected that if Harris won the election, her administration would follow with the Biden Administration’s sharp criticism of crypto.
Not so with Trump. He promised in his later campaign speeches to become the most favorable cryptocurrency president.
The future: Crypto?
Trump won, of course. And crypto advocates, who had funded many successful 2024 political campaigns, including Trump’s, felt jubilant. So did much of the business world.
Cryptocurrency is a huge world-transforming technology. Like Artificial Intelligence, the Internet and computer technology before it, crypto is literally changing every facet of life right under our noses. Unlike previous inventions, however, crypto is poised to fundamentally disrupt society in so many beneficial ways, it’s hard to wrap one’s head around them all.
That potential also offers tremendous wealth-making opportunities. Unlike past opportunities, which made themselves mostly available to the already-wealthy, the movement crypto represents brings those wealth-making opportunities to everyone. Anyone can potentially become richer than they ever have been before. Indeed, many already have. And those people started out not rich at all.
That said, those potential riches are only available to people aligned with the opportunity. That’s where John and thoughts and beliefs come back into this story.
Chicken? Or egg?
Everyone creates their reality through thoughts and beliefs they hold. Those thoughts and beliefs literally filter our lives. They only allow events into our lives that are aligned with them. So if a person holds a belief that, for example, “money is hard to come by”, they cannot see opportunities where money is easy to come by.
Same holds for those who believe crypto is a scam. Such people will not be able to see money-making opportunities available through crypto. I should know: I was once one of those people!
Not any more.
Thoughts and beliefs don’t even have to be about crypto to block these opportunities. Beliefs about ourselves can block them too. If we believe, for example, that “I can’t get ahead”, that thought will keep creating experiences where we, literally, can’t get ahead.
But we must ask whether this is a chicken-or-egg situation: Did those experiences happen first, and then we concluded that “I can’t get ahead”? Or did somehow we come up with that self concept, of a person who can’t get ahead, then experienced experiences as evidence of that concept?
The answer is, it can be both. People can hold a thought, then experience a life matching that. Or something can happen, then they draw a conclusion from that and thus create resonance in them that has them keep having that experience.
Empowering? Or disempowering?
In John’s case, he saw his parents struggle. He related how he noticed his family frequently on the edge of financial insolvency. He wore hand-me-down clothes in school and was enrolled in his school’s free lunch program. John joked with all seriousness about how being on the free lunch program affected him by saying “Why do free lunch program tickets need to be a different color from regular tickets?”
Can you see how such an observation reveals the strong negative experience John had?
John made up stories about those happenings, especially stories about himself. He wasn’t going to end up like his parents. So he took a more guarded, preventative perspective on money. One of his beliefs, for example, is “Building a bank account is hard. It takes a long time. I don’t want to make the wrong choice.”
As a result of this belief, John has become extremely financially successful. He’s managed his money very closely. His work income is, in his words, “ridiculous” in its generosity. And yet, as empowering as his beliefs are, they still limit what’s possible for him. I’ll explain how in a bit.
A vicious cycle
We can see how beliefs in a world not in our control would compel us into social liberalism. If one finds it hard to get ahead, or that situations are out of our control, we’ll will see others having similar troubles. Not knowing about the Positively Focused approach, we’ll want to place blame on something outside ourselves.
We won’t know the trouble source is our thoughts and beliefs. So we’ll look to the world around us for the origin of our struggles.
It’s a kind of vicious cycle: thoughts and beliefs filter in events matching them and filter out those not matching them, which reinforce thoughts and beliefs. If one doesn’t know this, a person will look for the source of the problem outside themselves and blame that. Little do they know placing blame is a reflection of their inner beliefs: the belief that something outside them is to blame, that and the belief creating whatever problems they’re having in the first place.
The reflection happens so the person can do something about the beliefs not aligned with what the person wants. When they do that, they get what they want. It’s that simple. Blaming just prolongs problems or it creates new ones.
This is the vicious cycle social liberals find themselves in. Social conservatives do the same thing, by the way. They blame their problems on a society run amok, away from conservative values. In other words, something outside themselves. Liberals and conservatives have far more in common than both sides realize.
John’s beliefs are what has him being both socially and fiscally liberal. In the next section I’ll flesh this out a little more.
The Universe faithfully reflects
John believing, among other things, that making and keeping money is hard and takes a long time, and you can’t make a mistake, is part of why he is socially and fiscally liberal. He believes people need help because life is hard. Especially the part of life that is about making money. After all, he saw his parents struggle. For John, this belief isn’t a belief. It’s “true”.
John also knows there are many people out there trying to get other people’s money, often in unscrupulous ways. So not only is he on guard about that himself, he’s also wary of people falling victim to such schemes. This partly explains why he believes people need help, i.e. a society socially oriented towards taking care of people.
Now, people do need a hand out or a hand up from time to time. Virtually everyone, myself included at one point, knows nothing about how the Universe works. Because of that lack of knowledge, people think thoughts, hold beliefs, make decisions and take action based on those that aren’t in their best interest.
Of course, the Universe faithfully reflects all that back to people in the form of life matching what’s going on in us. But people don’t know that’s happening. So most people point the finger at the world around them. Even though the world around them is a product of their thoughts, beliefs and actions.
John is learning this. And what he’s finding is making a huge difference.
Trump’s contribution to the better world
John sees Trump as somewhat inept and susceptible to others’ influence. As a result, throughout the election campaign, John as an ardent Positively Focused practitioner, strives to find the best-feeling story about the election outcome.
In doin that, John made himself available to the reality that the Trump administration is going to play a huge part in a wonderful unfolding. An unfolding offering everyone massive opportunities to prosper in a future that’s literally unbelievable.
That future also supports the ascension New Age spiritualists reverently expect. All this is coming aided by an administration many “spiritualist” Americans vehemently disavow.
How can this be?
Trump and those he is appointing likely have no idea how their actions in the future play into the hands of this unfolding. That’s because, of course, their thoughts and beliefs aren’t focused there. They’re focused on their political agenda, which primarily is about delivering on their campaign promises. That and keeping people’s attention and thus their future votes and money.
But what they don’t know is many of those promises are going to support the unfolding I mentioned above. And one aspect facilitating that unfolding is…wait for it: cryptocurrency.
A new future lies ahead
I’ll avoid going in depth on other technologies emerging which also further this unfolding. I want to keep this post rather short and it’s already long. But I will mention some of them. I’ll mention them because the information is important to understand points I’m making in this post. You can research them further if you choose.
Cryptocurrencies underpin the emerging next generation of the Internet, also called “Web3”. But “Cryptocurrency” distracts the public. It’s not so much their function as currencies that matters. It’s the projects these currencies underwrite and support that matter. In the way software and microprocessors ushered in the computer age, these “currencies” and their projects are introducing Web3. Web3 is a decentralized, open, more secure and more peer-to-peer internet.
But these projects are also fostering, among many other things, Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI agents, which basically are personal servants that act on the internet on our behalf; new ways to conduct financial transactions and contracts without banks, lawyers or the government; and making wealth far more accessible to ordinary people.
We’re exactly at the point where we were when computers or the internet first started: the world is being transformed once again. Only this time much faster and from far more directions than before.
And those who are aware of these opportunities and take action, just like in the past with computers and the internet, are going to get rich. But those who aren’t aware of them will miss the opportunities.
What separates those who are aware from those who aren’t? Individual beliefs. That’s all.
“A no-brainer”
One session late last year, I talked with John about everything you just read in the previous section. The conversation revolved mostly around Bitcoin and its meteoric rise. But that focus kicked off a conversation about everything else happening in the crypto space. Because of John’s old beliefs, he was skeptical. He told me he always viewed Bitcoin as a “grift”.
“They call them cryptocurrencies, but you can’t buy anything with them,” he quipped.
By the end of the session, however, he saw how that belief blocked him from really understanding what is happening and what’s coming. That opening, his ability to see anew, triggered something good in him.
After our session, he sent me a text message:
In our next session, John floored me with his news. We first talked about how surprised he was that he didn’t look into this sooner.
“After I took a deep look at it,” he said. “It was a no brainer.”
And this is the thing about old beliefs. When they’re soothed, suddenly, the new view one has of the world just feels like an “of course”. That’s because the world constantly offers broader perspectives from which to view it. And when a person steps into that, they literally walk into a new reality. One that now matches their fresh, new perspective.
Missing an opportunity
So profound was John’s shift, even he was surprised. He told me the next morning he put $50K into Bitcoin. But his Broader Perspective encouraged he put more in. So he put in $100K more. But his Broader Perspective encouraged putting in even more. So he put in another $50! All after one conversation!
Again, this is what happens when one lets go of resistant beliefs. And, the minute one does, one also must contend with the new set of contrast that accompanies the new beliefs. In John’s case that was feeling regretful that he didn’t take this action six months ago when Bitcoin’s price was much lower.
“I should have done this last summer,” He argued mournfully. I told him there’s nothing he can do about that other than soothe his regret. But the solace he could take from the experience is realizing how powerful beliefs are.
“They literally block us from seeing opportunities,” I told him. Of course, John could see that now.
There was no way John could have done anything different from what he did last summer. So there’s no point mourning that non-action, even though had he put $200,000 into Bitcoin last summer at $87K a coin, he would have already seen a nice increase in value.
We do it to ourselves
John’s experience shows how powerful beliefs are. I’ve written this many times in this post, but it bears repeating: Beliefs create our reality. They only allow in that which accords with them. Everything else they block.
It’s important therefore that we become more deliberate about what beliefs we have, isn’t it?
I know it is important, which is why I work with clients.
No one blocks us from anything we want. Only we do that by not examining beliefs that block those things we want from coming into our experience.
And this is how the poor remain poor. No one is keeping them poor! They are doing that to themselves. Of course, they’re not doing it deliberately. They don’t understand what they’re doing. The problem with that lack of understanding is, along with their disempowering beliefs, if someone like me tries to tell them what they’re doing (or not doing), their current beliefs will not allow them to hear what I’m saying.
Or they’ll hear it and think I’m trying to fraud them. They’ll think I’m just spouting new-age nonsense, in the same way John thought cryptocurrency was a grift. And when they think that way, they just amplify their existing Belief Constellations, further blinding them from opportunities to rise from poverty.
Beliefs are powerful
At the beginning of this post I wrote that I’m not blaming anyone. This isn’t about blame. John isn’t to blame for beliefs blocking opportunities. No one else holds those beliefs for him though. He’s doing that.
Does that make him to blame for that? Is it his “fault”?
You could look at it that way, but I don’t. I look at it more positively. This whole post is not about blaming the poor or blaming John. What it is about is using his example and the example of poor people to empower those reading this. For now you know, dear reader, that you possess an extraordinarily empowering tool: your beliefs.
And if you cultivate beliefs consistent with what you want, in a very short time, the world will reveal to you exactly that and only that. For when you align your beliefs with what you want, they, like all beliefs, block everything not aligned with them.
That’s why I can say, for example, that when a person aligns their beliefs, nothing can come in contrary to what they believe.
Beliefs are powerful.
The poor stay poor by virtue of the poverty in their beliefs. People get rich by virtue of the wealth inherent in their beliefs. Your world is your word, meaning how you think about the world shapes your experience of it.
Speaking of beliefs, you’re invited to a 90-minute online event on March 1 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time called Belief Constellations: Politics, Relationships And Our MAGNIFICENT Future.

TL;DR: The author uses a client example to show how this reality offers the best of what there is to experience. In doing so, they explain how fleeing a situation without first lining up with what’s wanted usually leads to disappointing results.But in the end, they write, everything always works out.
A prospective client this week decided to go with another spiritual provider. Her decision came after only two weeks as a Positively Focused practitioner.
When she first reached out to me, I felt strong vibrations from her. Present were dissatisfaction, unhappiness, especially about herself, a feeling of foreboding about the US and more. This all sprang from her as she told me why she wanted my services.
The next week, she came with a ton of questions. Questions typically someone with so little experience with the practice wouldn’t ask. Indeed they were very advanced questions, ones I didn’t want to answer because I knew she didn’t have enough background to understand the answers. Yet, she insisted, so we talked about them.
Her questions came from visiting YouTube. There she discovered another provider. This person, a “Law of Attraction Coach”, appears to focus on “impossible” achievements, some of the same things I focus on in my personal practice, but don’t work with clients on until they have at least several years experience. That’s because accomplishing what most believe is impossible requires an extraordinary level of alignment to All That Is. And most aren’t ready for such pursuits off-the-bat.
What happened next was…interesting. It showed me how some people want to escape from their lives. They want to go somewhere where they think life is better.
In this post, let’s look at why that’s not in anyone’s best interest. And what is available to us instead.
Not everyone is in the same place
This new client came to me after reading my post on Dark Matter. In that post, I lauded the show’s relatively accurate portrayal of alternate dimensional travel. My own experiences aligned well with what they portrayed. How they portrayed alternate dimensional travel was not so accurate, however. Still, I felt the show deserved praise.
I thought it odd that that post would inspire someone to want to be a Positively Focused client. That’s because, early-stage clients typically have no idea alternate realities are accessible to all of us. Visiting them requires a lot of focus, but that focus is well within all of our grasps. So when we first talked, I encouraged her to focus instead on the basic practice, what I offer all beginning clients.
From her questions in the second session, however, I knew she wasn’t going to be satisfied with my approach. Especially after visiting this other provider’s channel.
Now, I have no trouble with new clients going somewhere else. A lot of people out there offer similar services I do. And not everyone is in the same place; one provider can’t reach everyone. So it’s good lots of people exist offering similar services. But something was up with this person’s eagerness to go to this provider. Something I realized in the session we had just before she switched.
Freedom and empowerment: the ultimate desire
She came to that session super stoked about the potential of moving permanently into another dimension. I asked her what about that was so intriguing. The first thing she brought up was climate change. She wanted to be in a world where climate change didn’t exist, she said. The client also had strong negative beliefs about the United States’ future given the Trump election victory.
Both reasons were red flags. Not that they’re problems relative to what I offer. Rather they indicate the client is in the midst of really strong negative momentum. Momentum she must soothe in order to get what she wants.
And what is it that she wants? While she thinks it’s living in a different reality, where none of the things she thinks are problems exist, what she really reaches for in these desires is freedom and empowerment.
She wants to see the world around her matching her desires.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you can see the problem, the red flag in that. For in wanting to see the world around her matching what’s inside her, she doesn’t get that the world already matches what is inside her. In other words, the world around us is a reflection. An extremely accurate one.
At this point, I think it’s important to delineate the difference between spiritual fleeing or escaping and the ordinary kind of fleeing or escape humans sometimes get inspired to do. The difference is important.
It’s not about action
No wrong choices exist. Every choice a person makes either lines that person up with what they want, or it gives feedback on how to better line up. Every choice, therefore, acts as a stepping stone on an eternal path. So, to use an extreme example, a war-torn, despotic environment might inspire a person to flee that place.
In fleeing, they can end up in a better-feeling place: a location where life is more peaceful. Perhaps the government is more stable there. The contrast of their what-is prompts action, and through their action, they find themselves in better-feeling locals.
Most of the time, when people make those kinds of choices, they first may focus on fleeing their what-is. But as soon as the what is is behind them, they feel eagerness for where they’re going. That shift typically feels like relief. Then relief turns to even more powerful, positive emotions. Like positive expectation or optimism, for example.
And as they dwell in those positive emotions, the world around them reflects that positivity back to them: in the form of more positive environs. Meanwhile –– and this is important –– the war-torn situation played a crucial role in that unfolding.
Had they not experienced the war and destruction, leaving that area might never had occurred to them. But more important, their improved mood made them a match to where they ended up. Not their actions.
What we’re exploring offers a ton of complexity that I’m simplifying for brevity’s sake.
Look at how life turns out
So fleeing an environment where immanent physical danger exists makes complete sense. Pretty much everyone would do that. But here’s the thing, and this is extremely difficult for clients to accept: A match exists between situations we would call negative and people experiencing those situations. In other words, those situations reflect the inner states of those people. It must be that way because that’s how the Universe works. It’s not random.
So when that person chooses flight or escape, they literally take with them that which had them matching the war-torn situation in the first place. And so, when they get to the new place, that new place, somehow, will reflect back to them more of the same of what’s inside them if the person didn’t do anything about their inner state. It may look different, but essentially it’s identical.
Unless we can read the vibration of another, and that’s a tall task for nearly all of us, we can’t really know what’s going on inside another. But if we accept what you just read, we don’t have to read another’s vibration. All we need to do is look at how their life turns out.
I haven’t forgotten about the client I began this post with. I’ll get back to her. But this background you’re getting fleshes out the problem with spiritual fleeing or escape. By now you can see the difference between fleeing a physical situation and spiritual fleeing or escape. If you can’t, the next section will make it plain.
What spiritual fleeing looks like
We take with us that which creates our reality. This is what I mean when I tell clients they are the common denominator to all the problems they see in their lives. Said differently, we create our reality. So if we want a different reality, we must do something about what we’re creating. Fleeing won’t work.
Spiritual fleeing works even less. Spiritual fleeing isn’t very common because nearly every human disbelieves this “you create your own reality business” (YCYORB). And yet, it is a thing. Spiritual fleeing is a distortion. Someone practicing or wanting to practice spiritual fleeing is saying “I don’t like what I’m creating, so I’m going to escape my creation.”
So they leave their city. They leave their country. Or they leave a relationship. Maybe they leave their job. The problem with that is, they’re taking themselves with them! They can’t leave themselves behind, so wherever they go, they will create a new version of the problems they try to flee.
We cannot escape the reality that springs from within us. (Photo by Justin Merced on Unsplash)
Two advanced client examples show this. One has tried nearly every process, including extremely radical surgeries, to lose weight. One radical surgery left her with something like one-third of the stomach she originally had. And yet, she’s still overweight, much to her dissatisfaction. The other client last year, I think, had a surgery on his face. The doctor said the process would solve his sleep apnea. A year later, he’s contemplating another procedure because the apnea has not gone away.
Who’s the creator?
The first client had her procedures done before she came to me. So we haven’t talked about the vibration persisting her weight. But we are talking about a similar vibrational momentum that has her attract men who aren’t in her best interest. She struggles mightily in hearing that she’s creating these men. She wants to blame the men. It can’t be possible that she’s the center of what’s happening, she thinks. Yet she is. She’s the common denominator. She is the creator.
The same is true for the other client. He can’t yet accept that he’s creating the sleep problem. Although he intellectually understands that from the Positively Focused perspective, he’s still trying to solve it through action, so he doesn’t KNOW yet what he only understands.
The point is, spiritual fleeing is when a person either denies or doesn’t know at all that they are the creator of their reality. As a result, they try fixing their troubles through action. And an advanced version of that is wanting to go to a different physical dimension because the one we’re in is unsatisfying.
Spiritual fleeing doesn’t work
Where do you think Americans thinking about leaving the country are on the subject of ordinary fleeing and spiritual fleeing? With Donald Trump coming into office, many of them are somewhere in between. Every American contributed to the reality we’re moving into where Trump will be the most powerful person in the free world….again.
Trying to flee the country isn’t going to work because wherever those Americans go, they will be there. In other words, they’re just going to create a reality there that still reflects what’s going on inside them. And if they were a match to a second Trump presidency, and they were, then something’s afoot in that matching.
I know that “something” is really, really good. And that’s the trouble with interpreting our what-is as negative. Usually what we’re interpreting as “bad” actually is very, very good. Or what’s going to follow is very, very good…but only if we don’t resist the “bad”.
Resist it, like a lot of Americans did after the first Trump presidency, and we just get more “bad”. Meanwhile, a lot of good gets created and stored in our collective “moment of becoming”. But that collective goodness only shows itself to those who don’t resist. In the meantime, resisters just keep getting more “bad”. Even if they flee.
So this prospective client, the one who wants to flee this dimension for a “better” one doesn’t understand that she’s taking herself with her. More likely, she will NOT be able to move to that alternate dimension. Why? Because she has way too much resistance in her. Resistance that makes her not a match to that dimension she wants, but does make her a match to the one she doesn’t.
So what’s her option?
The Source of new and improved
Her option is the same thing I offer all my clients: transform her perspective in a way that lines her up with everything she wants in this reality. What she wants is here. If it wasn’t, she wouldn’t have chosen to come into this dimension.
What she wants isn’t some place where everything is nice and clean and trouble free. Trouble/contrast is part of every place. It literally is the stuff from which new, improved emerges. And so, this reality, this dimension, is one of the best ones to come into. Because here, in this place, we offer ourselves TREMENDOUS contrast…or “trouble” if you want to see it that way.
The great thing about all that trouble is, when we use it as the launch pad that it is, our individual realities IMPROVE.
But it’s not magic. It can’t happen instantly. Physical reality contains inherent resistance as does our physical selves. So it typically takes a while for that improvement to show up…for very good other reasons too complex to detail here.
The client I began this post about is on a trajectory. Maybe she’ll come back after exhausting herself trying to get someplace she’s not a match to. Or maybe she’ll become a match to it. The paradox of the latter is, to become a match to it, she must release all resistance to THIS dimension, this reality. And if/when she does….will she travel to that other dimension?
My guess is no. Because she unwittingly will have transformed THIS dimension into the dimension she thinks she wants to travel to.
Isn’t that beautiful?
This is where it’s at
Usually, when one wants to choose, one’s first choice is the Broader-Perspective-inspired one. This client came to the Positively Focused Way first. I’d say that was a Broader-Perspective-inspired decision. Had she continued, soothing her dissatisfaction about this reality would go a long way towards allowing her to visit other realities. The key word there is “visit”. But such visits also would show her that THIS reality is where she really wants to be. This is where it’s at.
After all, if she wanted to be in the other one, she would have gone there first at birth. Instead, she came here.
In that sense, she may come back. Perhaps her Broader Perspective will lead her back here. No matter what she does, everything is working out for her, for me and for everyone else. That includes all Americans, all my clients and the planet and its climate.
Nothing ever goes wrong. Even when someone flees. Spiritual fleeing or escape isn’t wrong either. After all, eventually the person fleeing discovers the ultimate reality: that they are a creator. And their creation is good as a reflection of something that is always in their best interest. Something that is inside them waiting for that person to make real.
TL;DR: The author recounts an experience of astral travel wherein their consciousness flowed into the consciousness of another, and that other person realized then reported on her experience of what happened, thus confirming the author’s experience.
An awesome confirmation of my Astral Travel aspirations happened this week. It’s evidence of my moving into more expansive capabilities, capabilities I’ve intended for some time now.
It’s taking a while because, as I’ve mentioned many times before, we don’t instantly get what we want. Especially when it comes to what we believe are supernatural or “unbelievable” abilities. That’s because those very beliefs, that it’s impossible, supernatural, unnatural, or unbelievable, resists our ability to allow these abilities into our experience.
So some time must pass while we learn to soothe those beliefs and replace them with beliefs more aligned to our desire. The same holds true for any desire. Whether it be a better job, a partner, a bunch of money or a better life condition, we must become a match to it before we receive it.
And the main thing keeping us from becoming a match to what we want are our existing beliefs that run contrary to what we want.
I’ve been focusing into my experience these “occult” experiences for about a year now, I think. That’s not very long considering what I’m wanting, the results I’m producing and how many people believe such results aren’t possible.
Let’s take a look at what happened this week, how it happened and the confirmation I received from my client.
The experience
It was a Tuesday morning. Typically, every morning I meditate for at least an hour prior to my day getting underway. This morning, as sometimes happens, I meditated twice. Once in the early morning for about 90 minutes, then again after waking, for another hour.
Both these meditation periods were deep and intense. I’ve described sensations happening now in meditation in previous posts. Those sensations confirm my budding shape-shifting abilities, but they also confirm that my consciousness leaves my body too.
During the second half hour of that second meditation period, my consciousness left my body. I felt myself “go out”. The experience happened so briefly, I couldn’t get my wits about the experience. I only know I was “gone”, then I was back in. What I did experience was seeing a vague sense of the surroundings where I landed. But I couldn’t make out more than that vague sense.
This meditation happened about an hour before my first client session. That session started at 9 a.m. The client I see lives in Hawaii. Hawaii is two hours behind my time zone. So 8 am is 6 am in Hawaii. My client would be just waking up. That time differential set up everything that happened next.
Surprise and delight
Since many of these kinds of experiences have happened, I reveled in this one, but didn’t make much more about it. That’s because other similar past experiences were much clearer, more vivid and longer lasting than this one. Usually, I’ll experience several smaller, rather insignificant sensations or departures in between the really profound ones. So this experience, given its brevity and vague perception, I figured was one of the less meaningful ones.
I was wrong.
And that’s great because part of the joy of life is the surprise and delight inherent in it. We can’t know how the Universe will set up situations in which we get what we want. The Universe is far more resourceful, and broader in its abilities than our minds can fathom. Which is why it truly is unfathomable. So when we do manifest something, it usually comes in a surprising and delightful way.
That way makes sense too because when we least expect something to manifest, we are best prepared to receive it. That’s because we aren’t resisting its showing up. We’re not resisting it with thinking we’re thinking about it when in fact we’re thinking about not having it. We’re not yearning for it to happen. Because our minds are off what we want, we unconsciously allow the unfolding.
That’s what happened here.
The confirmation
After meditating that morning, I went through my normal day preparations. Then I signed on to the call with my client. The moment I did, the client shocked me with a question:
“Did you visit me this morning?” She asked.
Her question piqued my interest. And since I know what I know, I knew something was afoot here. Something we both would enjoy. There was no confusion about what she was asking. Instead I felt only curiosity.
“Why do you ask?” I said.
The client then described how she was in her bed and suddenly, she felt my presence. My curiosity spiked then and I asked her when she had this sensation.
“About an hour ago,” she said. That would have been around 6 am her time. Right about the same time I had the departure experience in meditation.
I then went from curious to excited. For the next few minutes we talked about what happened as a way of amplifying for both of us the real-ization of this experience. The fact that what happened with her matched what happened with me, at the same time, delighted both of us.
We then went on with the rest of the session.
Having affinity and no doubt
Two days later, and I have no idea why she did this, the client sent me a text message. Even though I don’t know what prompted her act, when I read the message, I knew it was further confirmation of what happened. It also represented a natural unfolding that lead directly to this post. Had she not sent this text, I probably wouldn’t have written this story. But receiving it delighted me so much. Her message, to me, came out of the blue. So I knew my client’s Broader Perspective encouraged her to reach out.
Here’s what she texted:
Look at that message!
It’s so detailed. And it describes a specific process wherein this happened. Notice it wasn’t something that happened against her will. I was “announced” and then she allowed “me” to “slide over [her] energy”.
I wondered if others could confirm such experiences. It’s one thing to have the person leaving their body talk about the experience. But when another can confirm the experience from their perspective, that takes it to a whole other level!
Of course, my client couldn’t have had this experience had she not some affinity with the ability. I perceived the client’s vast potential for such abilities. In one of our early sessions, I wondered if she had witchcraft in her ancestry. She mused about my question, but recently asked me about why I asked.
I told her I sense great affinity within her and very little doubt. So she’s susceptible to these experiences.
Everything is possible
And that’s the key right? Our beliefs create our reality. Anything is possible. But our beliefs mitigate that accurate statement. If we want to experience something and we doubt it can happen, it’s not going to happen.
And yet, all kinds of accounts exist where, just as an example, a mother in a car accident lifts her car off her child who is pinned underneath. That kind of event can happen in such crises because, in that moment, the woman’s desire for saving her child overwhelms any doubt. Indeed, doubt isn’t even present when she takes action.
The same holds true for anything. Whatever we want, we can experience or have. It all depends on how much doubt we bring to the table. The more we bring, the less possible our desires become.
Which is why a Positively Focused perspective is the best perspective. For not only does everything become possible, we also create all the evidence we need to confirm what was once impossible now no longer is.
Postscript:
I once thought it impossible that the world would get better if Trump won. Well some really amazing things are happening right now, even with Trump becoming president. Indeed, because he became president…and I voted for Harristhe future is going to be magnificent. How do I know? Consider joining this event I’ve planned for March. Have a MeetUp account? Go here.
TL;DR: The author contends that “New Age” advice is never wrong. They give the example of how their inner guidance said Kamala Harris would win the last election, and they explain why that guidance was right, even though it appears to have been wrong.
In the past election season, my Broader Perspective told me Kamala Harris was going to win. As we all know, though, that didn’t happen.
Did my Broader Perspective get it wrong?
A lot of people who think this “you create your reality” business is “New Age nonsense” will point to such outcomes with an accusing finger.
They’ll say “See? What bullshit!”
Even some clients doubted what happened. One asked why my Broader Perspective “lied” to me. Another, whose Broader Perspective told her as well that Harris would win by a large margin, was shocked by the actual results. I was surprised, but I knew an explanation existed for the apparent discrepancy between our Broader Perspectives and the result.
That’s because I know what I know is infallible. I know the Universe works exactly as I’ve learned it does. So if something happens that appears contradictory to what I know, then I must not be clearly seeing what’s going on.
Given all this, I turned to my spiritual mentors for answers. I also dug into past knowledge I gained in my years of Buddhist scholarly practice.
What I discovered not only reassured me, it had me double down on the fact that what I know is 100 percent accurate.
Let’s take a look at what’s happening when it looks like “New Age” advice gets it wrong.
Understanding the unfathomable
First we must accept that All That Is is unfathomable. All That Is constantly creates more of all that is. And that’s been happening….since….forever. So no one can know the totality of All That Is. Not even All That Is!
That unknowable quality of All That Is extends to the intelligence of All That Is. It’s not called “Infinite Intelligence” for nothing. That means there are no bounds to how intelligent Infinite Intelligence is.
So when we humans try understanding Infinite Intelligence and All That Is, we must come from a grounded place. We must accept that, as much as we learn, there always will be more to learn.
One thing I’ve learned is All That Is assists all of us in our expansion. One way it does that is through contrast: experiences which prompt from within us desire.
Now, “desire” makes it sound like those experiences must always feel good. The trouble is, contrast often feels not good. Especially for those who don’t understand how the Universe works.
Even for those who do understand, such experiences can feel awful. But for those who do understand, such people can come to accept and even appreciate the real nature of and the value that contrast offers.
The real nature of contrast is that it usually is an uncomfortable experience. One that tells us immediately what we don’t like.
More about contrast and its importance
Usually, contrast looks and feels like something we don’t want, such as our preferred candidate losing. The moment we have such experiences though, we also know what we do want. The key to contrast’s value is realizing this, then lining up with that which we want. In doing that, we feel better and that better feeling tells us something extremely important.
Contrast is all around us. It comes in large and small experiences, even insignificant-seeming ones. But the ones most of us struggle with are those that are significant, such as our political candidate losing in what we believe is a crucial election.
Nothing “crucial” ever happens, however. That’s because everything always works out for everyone. Everything always turns out for everyone because All That Is enjoys a capacity large enough for everyone to get what they want.
Humans make trouble for themselves, however, when they think what they want must come the way they believe it should come. Me and others, for example, believed the only way we could get what we wanted from the election was for Harris to win. That’s a problem.
Getting what we want when we line up
It’s a problem because All That Is is unfathomable, including its intelligence and capacity. As such, a human mind can never know the resources at All That Is’ disposal to make what we want happen. A human mind also can’t figure out the best time for something to happen, even though our minds like to think they can. That’s why there’s such a thing as “divine timing”.
I know it can be frustrating when we want something, believe it must happen now, and it doesn’t happen until later. Sometimes WAY later. But divine timing exists for a reason. The reason is because Infinite Intelligence or All That Is knows when it’s the best time for something to happen. It also yields to our desire, but only when we are a match to that thing. And usually, when we want something “now” we are really focused on the situation that has us yearning. In that focus, we’re not lined up with what we want. Which explains why it doesn’t show up immediately.
So when we try to figure out either the “how” or the “when” we usually gum up the works. We add resistance, which creates delay. We’ll eventually get what we want, but only when we finally line up with it.
Sometimes, lining up with our desire requires a stronger vibrational alignment to that which we’re wanting. Abraham calls that “stronger asking”. And there’s no better experience to prompt stronger asking, or to cause us to more strongly align with our wanting, than really strong contrast. Like our candidate losing, for example.
Introducing the path of least resistance
Another reason it may look like we’re not getting what we want happens when we, again, think we know how it’s going to happen. Especially when it comes to a lot of people getting what they want. Again, the Universe will give everyone what they want. But think about it. The US population is over 300 million people. Untold billions of others outside the US were focused on the outcome of our election too. And, obviously, some number of those people were going to appear to not get what they want no matter who won.
The Universe, therefore took advantage of another aspect that we must keep in mind when lining up. That is, the path of least resistance.
The path of least resistance, as the name implies, is the path energetically between one point and another representing the lowest amount of resistance. Now, the path of least resistance is not the same as the shortest path. The path of least resistance usually is longer because it takes people some time to release resistance and line up. And even when they do, some resistance remains in their way.
So All That Is and one’s Broader Perspective coordinate to move a person around or through that remaining resistance. And it’s for this reason that one’s path to what they want may look like they’re not getting what they want, when, actually they are.
So when Kamala lost, I knew I was still on the path. I also knew I had focused too much on the “how”. It also was clear that the loss prompted stronger asking on my part. But why was it that my Broader Perspective told me she was going to win when she didn’t? To understand why, we must introduce yet another important concept.
Setting up another awesome unfolding
I’m glad I have a lot of spiritual study under my belt. My scholarly study of Buddhism came in handy in understanding why my Broader Perspective adamantly said Kamala would win when she didn’t.
I’ll get to that in a moment.
Interestingly, I had access to another resource I hadn’t tapped into in a while. In addition to their in-person workshops, Abraham also holds regular online events they call “Abraham NOW” sessions. Like their in-person workshops, these three hour events feature people asking Abraham questions and Abraham using those questions as jumping-off points to share their wisdom.
Now, to understand all that happened, to really appreciate it, let’s look at some speculative numbers around these online events. Somewhere between 1500 and 3000 people participate in Abraham’s in-person workshops. In a given year, approximately 60 workshops happen around the country. So that’s something like 90-180,000 people attending these events. And that doesn’t even include the cruises. In-person workshops run about $300.
But Abraham NOW events are only $49. Much more affordable. I speculate that about a quarter of the same number of people who attend the workshops in a year are tuning in to each Abraham NOW session. That’s a lot of people. But it shouldn’t be surprising: they’re more frequent, they cost less and they are far more convenient.
Those planning to attend an Abraham NOW event can also submit one written or one video question. For sure, a lot of people do that too. And there isn’t enough time to answer every question. So just like at the in-person events, Abraham selects the questions they will feature.
An example of past Abraham NOW event recordings from the Abraham website.
Was the advice wrong?
After the election, as I wrote above, several clients were struggling with the outcome. I was too, although for different reasons. Two days after the election, I got an impulse that Abraham was probably going to have an Abraham NOW session scheduled. They are Infinite Intelligence after all. So they probably anticipated that a lot of humans would be all bunged up no matter what the result. They would want answers.
Sure enough, when I logged into my Abraham-Hicks.com account, I saw an Abraham NOW event scheduled for that Saturday, November 9. I told all my advanced clients about it, then registered myself. This was on a Friday afternoon at about 1:45 p.m. The registration page invited me to submit a video or written question, but I only had until 2 p.m. to get it in. Perfect timing! I had 15 minutes to submit a question, which I did.
My question was basically “how did my Broader Perspective get it wrong?” I phrased it that way purposefully because I wanted an answer I could share with my clients, should they not register themselves. I wondered whether Abraham would use my video question on the live stream, but didn’t worry too much. Other people would have the same question too, I knew.
So when Saturday came, I logged into the live stream. Sure enough, several people questioned the election results. Many were worried about the outcome. I wasn’t worried about that. I just wanted to know how my Broader Perspective encouraged me towards a result that didn’t happen. But it was good to hear how Abraham answered those questions.
As the event wound down, and more people got their questions answered, I wondered whether my question would air.
It wasn’t wrong
Ten minutes prior to the event end, and not seeing my question featured yet, I surrendered to the possibility my question wouldn’t get answered. At that very moment I surrendered, my iPhone showed what many in New Age Circles call an “Angel Number“. The number was 1313. And in that very minute, Abraham said “let’s watch another video”….and my face appeared.
Just like in my initiation journey I wrote about before, I got featured at the very end. And I understood why: all the other questions and answers lead perfectly to my question. Of course, that all thrilled me. But the answer Abraham gave was astounding too.
In short, they said, my Broader Perspective didn’t get it wrong. What it did was offer guidance that would create contrast that would prompt stronger asking on my part. They also said the outcome represented the path of least resistance for everyone given what they want and that the unfolding, post election, will contain everything everyone wants. Everything will come in ways Americans can’t comprehend right now, they said, but will be completely satisfying as it all unfolds.
The answer made total sense. Especially after everything Abraham shared in answering questions preceding mine.
After the live stream, I thought about Abraham’s answer. It reminded me of something I learned in my Buddhist studies. And the more I thought about that thing I learned, the more satisfied I became about the election. The more optimistic I got about what was to happen as well.
I want to share what that thing was that I learned next.
A parable of expedient means
The Lotus Sutra is the pinnacle of Buddhist Sutras. A lot of Buddhists and some scholars might disagree with that assertion. But when one reads the Lotus Sutra, it becomes obvious. The Buddha says many, many times throughout the Sutra that it is his ultimate teaching.
My scholarly study focused almost exclusively on this Sutra. That’s because I knew it to be the crown jewel of the Buddha’s teachings. It’s a marvelous work. It lays out in great detail the nature of the Buddhas, their blessings, where they come from and benefits those who hear the Lotus Sutra receive. What I remembered learning about was a parable offered in this Sutra. The parable is set up in Chapter 2 — Skillful or Expedient Means, and told in Chapter 3 — A parable.
Chapter 2 reveals that all Buddhas employ expedient means to lead people to enlightenment. There’s a lot of detail and repetition in the Lotus Sutra and these chapters are no different. But the gist of it is, Infinite Intelligence knows that ordinary humans are hard to reach. So it communicates in many different ways to reach them. Sometimes it will even use what people might call deceptions or falsehoods.
Chapter three gives an example of a rich man who has many kids. The kids run into a run down house (I’m simplifying the parable). Then the house catches fire. But the kids found toys in the house and are too busy playing with them to notice the fire. The rich man notices though. The fire rages and the house is about to collapse on the kids. The father calls to the them, saying “run out of the house, it’s on fire!” But the kids don’t listen.
Skillful means
So the father tells the children he has assembled carts of fabulous wealth for all of them. Not only that, the carts contain the rarest of toys and the kids can have them all, he says. Hearing this, the kids come rushing out from the house as the house collapses in flames.
Once outside the children ask for the carts, which their father provides.
The Buddha then asks his listeners “did the father lie?” No, the listeners say, he did what he had to do to save his kids. The Buddha agrees then goes on to explain how Infinite Intelligence uses similar means to move people to enlightenment.
There’s another story told apart from the Lotus Sutra. It’s about the Buddha on a path to a wondrous kingdom, followed by his adherents. Halfway to the kingdom, the adherents tire out. The Buddha sees they can go no farther. But he knows the adherents will rejoice once they arrive at the kingdom.
So he manifests an hallucination. Right around the corner on the path the adherents discover a beautiful oasis filled with all manner of luxuries. The adherents think they’ve arrived at the kingdom; they don’t realize it’s an hallucination. Once they are refreshed, the Buddha then disappears the hallucination. The adherents are shocked. Some are angry. At that point the Buddha explains his expedient means.
He describes how their destination is far better than what they just experienced. He also describes setting up the hallucination in order to refresh the adherents so they can make the rest of the way to the destination. In this way, the adherents realize, the Buddha has skillfully encouraged them to go the final distance.
Preparing for the future
See the parallels?
I sure did after I remembered these stories. What really brought the parallel home was realizing The Lotus Sutra and everything in it accord quite nicely with how the Universe works. Sure, it’s full of a lot of repetition and mind-blowing imagery. But behind all that are deep accuracies about how enlightened ones work, how people are and how the Universe works.
It was a reminder for me that everything I’ve learned so far from both Seth and Abraham is 100 percent accurate.
At that point I got how my Broader Perspective didn’t lie to me. Like Abraham reiterated, it didn’t get it wrong. It used expedient means to get me to reach for the end goal, the thing I ultimately want. Looking at the election from that perspective bolstered me. It bolstered me and also prepared me for what happened next.
That’s right, this story just keeps going and going!
The future is bright
The next week I enjoyed a couple conversations with a client who used to be a republican. He also possesses extreme knowledge about future high technologies across many sectors. Part of his knowledge includes blockchain technology. He’s as passionate about all this stuff as I am about spirituality.
The conversations with this guy made it abundantly clear where we are headed, not only as a nation, but as a global civilization. And, he showed how everything that’s going to happen will be a better extension fit with a Trump administration than would have been possible with democrats in office.
That future includes extreme material abundance for all. Super-high quality products and services offered at near zero cost. It also includes a fully automated infrastructure enabled by Artificial Intelligence and robotics. Indeed, the more he described, the more excited I got. And he didn’t just talk about the future, he speculated on how all of it would unfold.
Since I have the education and work background I have, I could follow pretty much everything he shared. It was a thrilling vision. I could see practical paths to all of it. Indeed, the more I think about it even now, the more convinced I am that this is our future.
Humanity has nothing to worry about. It’s all working out.
It was right all along
But in negative beliefs, in worry, in fear or anger, humans can’t see it all working out. We’re all going to get to that future my client described. That I’m sure. The only question is, how are individual human beings going to experience the path to that magnificent kingdom? Is their experience going to be one of sadness, worry, fear and violence? Or is their experience going to be joyful, hopeful, and eager? I know how mine is going to be.
And I’m encouraging my clients to cultivate similar experiences.
Why?
Because in those more positive emotions, we can see more. We can see opportunities we’re otherwise blind to when we’re wallowing in complaints about people who believe differently from us. When in reality they’re the very same people cooperating alongside us to create the future we all want.
That’s right. I wrote previously about how progressives helped elect Trump. They had to have because that’s who’s president starting next year. That’s our collective, co-created reality. And nothing is asserted into our experience against our will. We invite it all.
I know for many that’s hard to read. But Trump winning is the expedient means, the path of least resistance, to everything everyone wants. And that’s what’s so cool about All That Is. It has the capacity to use everyone for our ultimate good.
Interestingly, my future-oriented client claims that that future he sees will bring the far right and the far left everything both sides want all at the same time. Abraham said the exact same thing.
I’m so reassured by that. And I’m eager to see it unfold, knowing my Broader Perspective was right all along.
Postscript:
Remember where I wrote the future is bright? Well some really amazing things are happening right now, even with Trump becoming president. Indeed, because he became president…and I voted for Harris. The future, in other words, is going to be magnificent. How do I know? Consider joining this event I’ve planned for March. Have a MeetUp account? Go here.
TL;DR: The author relates a client’s dream and the fascination they and the client shared in interpreting the dream and how the dream clarified aspects of the client’s life. They then encourage readers to explore their dreams as a bonafide source of real-life rewards.
One thing I really like about the Positively Focused Practice is dream work. It’s so powerful. It’s powerful because so much happens in dreams that directly tie to waking life.
Clients are discovering how powerful their dreams are as they learn how to connect their dream experiences to their waking life. Contrary to what psychology and science assert, immense, real-life value comes from the dream world. Indeed, our entire waking life stems from that place where dreams are born.
Today I want to show what that value looks like by sharing a client’s dream experience. I want to share how it relates to his waking experience and how he felt after discovering his dream gave him information he really wanted to know.
Ready? Here we go!
Participating in our expansion
Troy is an aspiring writer and musician. Most of his 67-year life brought Troy resentment and regret, however. That’s because early on, Troy conjured disempowering beliefs about his creative expression. He didn’t believe it was good enough. So, of course, the world around him reflected that belief back to him, in the form of people not appreciating his expression.
Like nearly all people, Troy saw what people were doing and saying, or rather not saying, about his work as evidence. He told himself people not appreciating his writing was proof his work wasn’t any good. Perhaps you can see the trouble here. And maybe you can see how almost everyone talks themselves in to trouble when they don’t know what physical reality is for.
Physical reality is a reflection. It is a reflection we each create. Our reflection shows us beliefs we hold about a myriad of subjects, including beliefs of which we may not be consciously aware. By experiencing physical reality, among other things, we can true up the reflection (what shows up in life) to include more of our desires.
Physical reality also exists so we can directly participate in our individual growth and the growth of All That Is. A better word for “growth” is “expansion”.
So Troy not knowing his reality is a reflection caused him to create more resentment and regret by misunderstanding how people’s response to his work was serving him.
Misinterpreting physical reality
Physical reality is the way All That Is expands. It also is the best way we as individuals expand. Everything in physical, therefore, is positive. It shows us where we are relative to our desires, much like a map shows us where we are relative to where we want to be. Physical reality also shows us how well we’re doing in getting to where we want to be. And it gives us clues to things we may be clueless about. Things having a massive effect on how well or not well we’re crating a life we want, for example.
All the while physical reality can be a joyful, pleasurable, exciting adventure. One literally filled only with those things we want and none of what we don’t.
But if we don’t know what you just read, we misinterpret physical reality. We misinterpret it as “real”….not a reflection. That gets us into trouble because if we mistake the reflection as reality, then we tend to create more of what we see thinking it’s real. That’s why most people’s lives come packed with some of what they want and a lot of what they don’t want.
Troy’s balance of those two things skewed to unwanted. A lot of what he didn’t want showed up in his life, which is why he ended up resentful and filled with regret.
Seeing reality differently
That was before Troy found the Positively Focused Practice. Indeed, anyone who believes physical reality is anything other than a reflection of their inner state is going to create a reality including some wanted and some unwanted. But when a person figures this out, amazement is at hand. That person can use physical reality for its intended purpose. And in using it that way, they can create the reality of their dreams.
How?
By using physical reality for the reflection it is. Then tuning their inner state to match what they want. When they do that, then physical reality, which, again, is a reflection, must reflect that more positive inner state, e.g. a life experience including more of what they want. That’s what Troy is learning to do. His dreams are helping him do that.

Instead of interpreting his reality as evidence of negative beliefs about his writing, like he used to do, Troy started looking at his reality differently. He started seeing it as a reflection of his inner state. Then he started doing something about his inner state.
What did he do?
He began telling better stories about his life, about himself, and about the world in general. Doing so, his mood improved. And as that happened, gradually, his life improved too. Meanwhile, he started the dream work. Then small changes started happening regarding how people responded to his creativity. Troy eventually saw bits of evidence of his success as a writer emerging.
Shortly thereafter, Troy had a dream.
A happy dream
The dream confused him because he didn’t know how to interpret it.
He dreamed about a regionally famous musician. In the dream, she was apologizing for breaking Troy’s heart. Troy told her she didn’t break his heart and in response, the musician expressed disappointment. Troy felt bad about that. So he changed his tune. He told her that his heart was broken. As soon as he did, both he and the musician laughed uproariously. Troy woke at that moment in confusion.
When Troy told me this dream, I was overjoyed. That’s because I knew exactly what it was about. After explaining it to him, Troy too was really happy about the dream because the dream told him a lot of things about where he is and where he’s headed.
On the surface, the dream was about Troy’s creative aspirations. But the dream had an even deeper meeting. Let’s take a look at both.
Desire goes both ways
The regionally successful musician in the dream represented Troy’s desire for stardom. The reason this particular star showed up in his dream is because she’s familiar. Troy performed as a back up musician for her. And, Troy does see her as very successful. This is important because the musician is regionally successful. She’s not an international star like Beyonce or Taylor Swift, for example.
That accords with the balance of Troy’s desire for success and his belief in his ability to be successful. He doesn’t see himself as either an international best selling author, or an internationally-recognized musician. His desires, in other words, are tempered by what he believes is possible: regional success. It’s no wonder then that the regionally successful performer showed up in his dream instead of Taylor Swift.
The performer’s apology represented Troy’s frustration and disappointment over not having the success he wants. Historically Troy blamed everyone other than himself about not being successful. So here his stardom was taking responsibility for his lack of stardom, which is exactly what Troy wants according to his beliefs.
But Troy acknowledged in the dream that his heart wasn’t broken. That represented Troy taking back his power, which he’s doing in waking life through his Positively Focused practice. This is an important element of his dream. Amplifying that will empower him further in waking life.
Something remarkable happens next in the dream. When he says his heart wasn’t broken, his stardom affects an air of disappointment. This is so important. It shows that Troy’s stardom wants him to want that stardom as much as Troy wants the stardom!
This is such an important feature of this dream, I want to spend a little time on it next.
Our desires live apart from us
Our desires are as alive as we are. And, like us, they desire. Their biggest desire is their full self-expression, much like a human desires its full self-expression.
So when we birth a desire, that desire wants fulfillment. So much so that if we don’t fulfill it, it will go elsewhere to pursue its fulfillment. That’s why sometimes a person will have a desire, not act on it, and then someone else will suddenly seemingly express that same desire into the world. What happened there is the desire went elsewhere because it “knew” it wasn’t going to be fulfilled with the first person.
Another way a desire will fulfill itself is by finding its fulfillment in another dimension, an alternate reality, if you will. Indeed, desires are so ravenous for self-expression, usually when one person has a desire, many others receive that same desire at the same time!
So desires are as alive as we are and seek self expression. Troy’s dream showed him his desire – stardom – wants Troy to fully express it! That’s why the musician expressed disappointment when Troy said his heart wasn’t broken. The desire wants to know Troy’s heart is in it, i.e. he wants to fulfill it.
As I mentioned earlier, an even deeper meaning came along with this dream. Let’s examine that next.
Dreams give us important information about our life trajectory. (Photo by Egor Vikhrev)
Our desires know…
At the end of the dream both Troy and his desire (the musician) busted out laughing when Troy apologized for telling the musician his heart wasn’t broken. This was a major message from this dream.
We are all eternal beings. In our eternity, we don’t experience any of life as dire, serious or even significant. As humans we sometimes feel all these things. But from our Broader Perspective, our lives here on earth are about joy, fun and expansion. That’s all. Our desires feel the same way.
In other words, and I write about this all the time, we’re here to have fun in our lives. Nothing serious is happening, and our desires know this. That’s why, when Troy apologized, the musician representing Troy’s stardom, and Troy himself, in the dream, burst out laughing.
While talking about this dream with Troy, I could see his demeanor change in real time. His shoulders relaxed. He became more thoughtful. Then a lightbulb went off in his head as we talked about how his stardom wants him as much as he wants it. I could tell Troy really enjoyed finding out what we talked about.
And this is the nature of the dream reality. There is so much useful, valuable information happening in that reality. It’s the same reality we come from before we’re born. I call it “nonphysical”.
Real life rewards
Awareness of nonphysical, whether through dreams or otherwise, can vastly improve our waking experience. It’s a wonder humans don’t avail themselves of this valuable knowledge when it’s so effing close to them and being offered every day. A lot of people don’t even realize they’re dreaming! Let alone recalling any dreams, or better yet, interpreting them accurately.
But everyone dreams. Including those who think they don’t. But they don’t realize it happening because they unconsciously block those experiences. How? By telling themselves they don’t dream.
We can see from Troy’s experience that dreams offer a lot of value. They tell us how we’re doing on our path to everything we want. And they can give us huge insights into what life is all about.
Dreams offer really great real-life rewards. That’s why I encourage all my clients to discover those rewards by exploring their dreams.
TL;DR:The author uses a client’s surprising example to show how astonishing life can be, they say, when one realizes thoughts and beliefs create reality and puts that realization into action.
I shouldn’t be astonished when clients produce mysterious-seeming joy in their lives. But every time it happens, I am astonished. That’s because how it happens is aways astonishing. It confirms how resourceful the Universe is in giving us what we want.
A client this week experienced something truly astonishing. He proved to himself how he creates his reality with help from a vast array of nonphysical beings. Beings focused on making his life a joyful journey.
What happened left him speechless. It also left him feeling deep wonder. What happened engaged nearly every aspect of the Positively Focused Way. He created which reflected back to him extremely disempowering beliefs about an important subject. In response to that, he then created an astonishing manifestation in a grocery store. Then, a series of dreams he had brought home an extremely powerful message; one the client couldn’t miss. In getting the message, the client soared to new, until-now unattained heights of fascination.
How this all happened reflects the power inherent in all of us. We are all gods in human form, folks. We’re here experiencing a human experience for the joy of it. The joy and satisfaction inherent in expanding All That Is is our birthright. There’s infinite power, pleasure and possibility in that. That power, pleasure and possibility also is within us. And when we choose expressing those three things deliberately, like this client did, then our lives reflect the miraculous inherent in the entire Universe.
Let’s look more at what happened.
Getting unstuck
This client once struggled with strong suicidal thoughts. Those thoughts came from extremely disempowering interpretations of his early life experiences. None of those past experiences were bad. Experience never is. Instead, they clued him in on aspects of himself he hadn’t known before. Aspects that would later bring him into alignment with the joyful life he knew was his.
Back then, though, the client, who I’ll call John, didn’t interpret those experiences this way. Instead he interpreted them as extremely negative. Over time, those negative interpretations built momentum within him. John made all those negative interpretations about himself. As a result, he hated himself. In time, those interpretations became beliefs about himself, which is why he wanted to kill himself.
Wanting to kill one’s self is a natural thing. It happens when someone builds up negative momentum born of negative interpretations that eventually become negative beliefs. Those beliefs then create real world experiences proving them “true”. When that happens, those experiences become more and more one’s reality. This process happens on any subject.
When a person finds themselves stuck in extremely strong, negative beliefs, especially about themselves, wanting to end it all often is the best outcome. Especially if the person can’t find a way out of that torment. And many can’t.
Even so, everyone can get unstuck. They came into human form for a reason. That reason didn’t include checking out early, even though some do. John was someone who found his way out. He happened to do so through the Positively Focused Way.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves…
Projection is common
Like many people stuck in self-hatred, John projected his self-hatred out into the world. Projection happens a lot in humanity. It makes sense if you think about it. Very few people realize where their external reality comes from. They don’t know the external reality they see comes from their inner state of being. It makes sense then that if a person doesn’t know their external reality springs from their inner state – thoughts and beliefs – then rather than doing something about their thoughts and beliefs, they’ll blame their external reality for their troubles.
That often includes blaming other people. But people, like everything else in our lives, are reflections too. Versions of people we meet reflect back to us what’s going on in us. So if we meet a lot of angry people, for example, we must have anger in us. Meet a lot of loving, cuddly dogs? There’s love in us. Yes, it’s that simple.
The target of John’s projection was obvious: women. He blamed a lot of what he didn’t like on the fact that women wouldn’t give him attention. John didn’t realize women spurning him was happening because he spurned himself. So he blamed women. He projected his self-hatred on women, in other words.
It’s vibration, momentum and attraction…not effort
While projecting his hatred onto women, John also wanted women. More directly, he wanted sex. But his approach to women reflected the mixture of his beliefs and desires. He wanted sex. And he believed the kind of sex he wanted came from women. But he hated women as a projection of hating himself. So every time he tried to woo women’s attention, they would, in his words, reject him.
No wonder! The women were reflecting all of John’s self-rejection back to him. It’s also no wonder that John started paying (a lot) for coaching on the subject of “the art of seduction”. A particularly popular offerer of that content caught his attention. Before long, John was thousands of dollars into this approach.
But it never worked for him. Women kept spurning him.
I tell clients many things over and over. So much so I sound like a broken record, I know. But as one client said recently “Perry, sometimes it takes time for what you tell us to move from our heads to our hearts.” I totally get that because I was once in my clients’ shoes. So when you read what you’re about to read, I get that it won’t likely sink in. Ready? Here it comes:
Taking action doesn’t make ANYTHING happen. Everything happening is a result of vibration, momentum and attraction.
This explains why John’s indulgence in “seduction coaching” wasn’t working. All the action in the world, all the money in the world, can’t overcome negative momentum. Abraham puts it plainly:
Misogyny: projected self hatred
It’s no wonder John’s inability to get what he wanted through “seduction coaching” deepened his self-hatred. It seemed the more he tried, the worse he got rejected. At his wits end, he discovered Positively Focused.
It took a while, but John discovered several things about himself. One thing he realized was he had turned into a misogynist. He doesn’t like admitting this, but it’s accurate. In fact, I’d argue most misogynists have some self hatred going on. They’re projecting that hatred onto women and that makes them hate women.
But that’s another story.
One day, John expressed wanting to go out with a woman. This was after a long period of focusing on other priorities through the Positively Focused Way. I suggested he do so as a way of seeing how he was doing soothing his old beliefs. I told him the woman he would meet would be a perfect match to where he was now in soothing his self hatred. He’d learn a lot too, I told him.
He did learn a lot
The woman he met, let’s call her Meg, was quite a bit older than John. They decided to go on a hike. John was super clear with Meg about his disinterest in dating or even a relationship. He was, he said, exploring and really looking for a casual hook-up. Meg told him she was open to that, but she wasn’t ready just yet.
The hike went well. At the end of the day though, Meg hadn’t contacted John. When John reached out, Meg said in a text that she liked her time with him but didn’t think they were a match.
As you can imagine, this sent John into a tail spin. It triggered all his past beliefs about himself and, through projection, about women. Over four days, John doubled down on these old beliefs making himself more and more miserable in the process. As far as John was concerned, Meg was, in his words, a crazy bitch, a cunt and liar and more. All the while John felt more and more unwanted, rejected and miserable.
What John had trouble understanding over those days was the following. John wasn’t miserable because of what Meg did or didn’t do. John was miserable and angry, for sure. But those emotions told John something he really wanted to know. They told him beliefs he held about himself and women are not the same beliefs his Broader Perspective knows about those subjects.
This is an important bit of information and I’ll dive a bit deeper next because it’s important to understand. Knowing this information also helps us appreciate what happened next.
The valuable message of our emotions
Physical reality is, as I wrote above, a reflection. But a lot of people don’t know this. They also don’t know they come equipped with a hugely beneficial tool to help them move through this reflection towards a reflection full of everything they want. That tool is their emotions.
Every human is, of course, more than human. We are all eternal beings. We’re also much more than can fit into a single human body. So when we become human, we put a portion of us into the human body. Meanwhile the vast majority of what we are remains in nonphysical; the place from which we come.
When we sort of split ourselves up like that, that part of us remaining outside our bodies enjoys a birds eye view of our lives. That part of us can see all the choices we might, will and will not make. It sees the alternate probable future realities flowing from all those choices. Yes, even the ones we will not make. All of these futures fulfill our main purpose for being, which is expanding All That Is and ourselves in the process. So our Broader Perspective is keenly, always, seeing what’s happening as uber positive.
It also delights in wherever we are in the moment because it can see how where we are is the perfect place for us at that moment. So it always sees our present moment in the most positive light. When we don’t see our present moment that way, we feel negative emotion.
So emotions help us integrate the part of us in our bodies with the part of us that remains where we come from. I’ll share why that integration is important next.
It’s all about inspired action
Because our Broader Perspective enjoys that birds eye view, and because it knows what we want at all times, it constantly sends us messages – clues or gut feelings – which will lead us to what we want. But to receive those messages, we must open ourselves to perceiving them. We do that by integrating ourselves, matching our perspective of life in our physical bodies to the perspective of our life our Broader Perspective has. Do that and we can “hear” the messages.
Follow the messages and our life unfolds in a seeming magical way. Everything we want comes easily, often with no effort. Remember what you read above about action? Action doesn’t make things happen. What action does do is, when we take it, that action positions us in the reality coordinates of time and space where the final unfolding of what we want appears.
Inspired action is action taken as a result of hearing our Broader Perspective’s messages. When we get a message and we follow it immediately, we rendezvous with a delightful unfolding. But All That Is is always in motion. So if we delay, if we hesitate when we get a message, then we miss the rendezvous. Taking inspired action immediately then, is key.
So emotions, are guides. They help us know, at any given moment, how aligned we are with our Broader Perspective. That tells us whether we can hear messages we send ourselves. And, when we hear the message and take the inspired action, we rendezvous with the ongoing Charmed Life I write about here. The life where everything happens with very little effort.
Let’s turn back to John’s story now.
A huge gift given to himself
It took a long time for John to understand what I was telling him when I told him, in response to his vitriol, that Meg was actually an angel he created for himself to see how his beliefs are making himself miserable. And that his misery, which is an emotion, was also a huge gift he was sending himself.
Can you see how it was a huge gift?
And for sure, Meg was an angel. Another way of putting it is, Meg was a reality John created for himself as a reflection, so that he can do something about his beliefs. She was, what we call a cooperative component to John getting what he wants. For he can’t get what he wants if he’s not integrated with his Broader Perspective. And “misery” tells him he’s not integrated!
So his experience with Meg was a huge gift.
As I told him before, Meg was also a perfect match to John. She was unsure of what she wanted as much as he was. She reflected his self-rejection back to him by expressing no future interest in him. Again, it wasn’t something John wanted to hear. I’m so glad therefore that the Universe stepped in and offered John an experience that brought that message home. What happened next was astonishing.
An astonishing unfolding
John felt a bit better after our talk. It took a while, but we’re all eternal, so how long it takes doesn’t matter. One day he got the inspired action to go to Whole Foods. He didn’t realize this was inspired action though. He just thought he was running an errand. That perspective was about to completely change.
While shopping, a little girl came up to John and, as he describes it, started a delightful conversation with him. John described her as “sweet” in a text he sent me just after the encounter.
But what really surprised me was what John texted next. Mind you, he was feeling much better after venting his vitriol at someone (me) who could channel that energy to his benefit rather than amplify it. Here’s his interpretation of that Whole Foods rendezvous:
Isn’t that an astonishing interpretation? Of course, when John shared that he couldn’t help but feel extremely positive emotion about himself, about the girl and about the experience. That’s because this interpretation was spot on. It also was exactly why the Universe brought him and the child together: so that he could further soothe his bogus beliefs. Beliefs about women and about himself.
John said he didn’t have words to express how delightful that experience was. He felt a shift happen in him, something that he hadn’t felt before. And he couldn’t believe it happened the way it did; through an experience with a child.
What happened next surprised John even more.
Dreams are critical
Over the next several nights, John had a series of dreams. These dreams took him to new heights of wonder and amazement.
Dream work is a big part of the Positively Focused Practice. That’s because dreams are a big part of life. Ninety-five percent of what’s necessary for us to have what we want happens in nonphysical. “Dream state” is another way of describing nonphysical. When we dream, we leave our bodies in bed. We join all the cooperative components in nonphysical. There we witness and interact with those components as they assemble everything needed – people, events, resources – so our desires unfold.
The reason I include dream work in the Positively Focused Practice is because conscious awareness of what’s happening when we sleep builds confidence and trust that all we want is happening on our behalf. Conscious awareness of dream activity is also extremely satisfying.
Another reason dream work is important is because it makes us aware that we are far more than our physical bodies. We become acquainted with all the other dimensions, the alternate and probable realities, in which we are active, just as we are active here in this reality.
Acquainting ourselves with our broader activities also lessens our fear of death and increases our belief that we are eternal. So dream work is a critical part of the practice.
John’s crucible
I ask clients that they record their dreams so we can interpret them together. This helps clients become more familiar with the dream world. It also softens their resistance to perceiving dreams.
Everyone dreams, but for important reasons, most people don’t know they dream. Many who do often forget them the moment they wake.
John fits in this category. Even so, he realized over several dreams in the ensuing days that he was sending himself an important message as evidenced in his text:
In our next session John and I marveled over these dreams. They were cluing him in on the process he’s going through, which very much feels to him like a crucible. Interestingly, John had never heard of the word before this. A crucible is something, usually a process something or someone goes through, that includes a severe trial. And through that trial a purification process happens.
So John realized these dreams were about soothing himself around the idea that he’s doing the work. Doing the work and benefitting from the work he’s doing. John was stunned in how applicable his dreams were. And he marveled the whole session about how well he was doing.
The unfolding in totality
I would love to end this story here, but that would be disingenuous. For as much as this experience moved John, he’s still struggling with reality as created by him, according to his still dominant negative belief momentum.
To understand what happened next, we have to recap what happened over the week I’m sharing about. John took my advice to test out his current vibrational state on the subject of his self-hatred and projecting that self-hatred onto women, by going out with one. That experience matched him with a person perfectly matching his vibration, Meg, who reflected perfectly back to John where he currently is.
John struggled over the next few days, but was able to finally soothe some of his negative momentum on the subject of himself and women. Soothing himself, he came into alignment with his Broader Perspective, which nudged him into Whole Foods where he rendezvoused with a fabulous amplification of the ongoing learning, which came in the form of a child.
Meanwhile, John further soothed himself in dreams in which he realized he was moving through a crucible.
But the Universe and his Broader Perspective weren’t done. In the marvelous, astonishing experience with that child, John integrated even more with his Broader Perspective. And so, the Universe brought him another gift.
A sick thrill
As we expand, the Universe will deliver more opportunity to expand even further. This is the never-ending process of expansion for ourselves and All That Is. It can’t be stated strongly enough: this is a NEVER-ENDING PROCESS. It’s that process of never-ending expansion that gives birth to our eternity.
John was in a strong post-expansion state of awareness in his realization of how profound his Whole Foods rendezvous was. So, John, the Universe and his Broader Perspective served up another opportunity for expansion. What that looked like was a surfacing of a series of old beliefs John has which also must be soothed for continued expansion.
These beliefs involved two subjects John has a lot of negative momentum around. One has to do with friends who, in John’s telling “rejected”, “disrespected” and “marginalized” him during what he would say was a time of need in his life. The other has to do with how he felt, again, disrespected, used and marginalized, by a transgender woman for whom he has extremely strong positive feelings.
But John didn’t see the surfacing of these beliefs, and their associated negative emotion, as an expansion opportunity. Instead, he let these beliefs trigger even more powerful, negative emotions. Until he found himself in the depths of powerlessness, grief and, again, self-hatred:
John sent the text above two days our session in which we talked about his dreams and after doing exactly what his text described over those two days.
It’s good we’re eternal
Many clients struggle with this. This “you create your reality” business is serious. It can be fun too, thrilling even, when you see everything you want happening with no effort on your part.
But until one builds evidence of that happening, it can be a real slog.
We can’t create a new reality without soothing the reality we’ve created. And if that created reality is extremely negative, then it’s going to take a while to soothe it. And, that reality will keep asserting itself, not as punishment, but because of momentum. Which is why it’s a good idea to see it reasserting itself as a positive thing.
This is another reason why it’s a good thing we’re eternal. There’s no rush to John soothing his hold momentum, wherein he’s numbing himself and feeling suicidal. He has all of eternity to do it. And he is doing it.
The empowering news is, he’s the only one who can do it. No one else will or can stand in his way and prevent the work from happening. No one but him. For just as he’s the only one who can do it, he’s also the only one who can keep himself from doing it. That applies to every client. It also applies to every person.
No one prevents any of us from having what we want. We all do that to ourselves. That’s why it’s so important to get that our reality springs from our thoughts and beliefs. Armed with that knowledge, we can create any reality we want. We can literally turn misery into a joyous mystery.
TL;DR: The author shares how they developed a connection with their inner self that they use to create happier life experiences, by following guidance they get from their “Broader Perspective”, a nonphysical component of their total being.
Yesterday, my Broader Perspective encouraged me to not eat when I got home. I love my body. I love it looking a particular way and feeling a particular way as well. My Broader Perspective knows this, of course.
So when I went for my walk, they encouraged me through their “still silent voice” to not have another meal when I returned home. I argued a little bit, asking whether a light snack, like popcorn, or maybe a hotdog, would be OK. But in either case I got no response: When I feel goose bumps or shivers in my body, that’s them saying “yes”. When I get no response, that’s them saying “no”.
I was a little poopy about their “no”, but decided to follow their guidance.
Then, this morning, when I did my morning routine, which includes measuring my weight and body composition, I was delighted to discover that I hit my target weight.
This may seem like an insignificant achievement. And yet, seemingly insignificant achievements, comprise the vast amount of data, results or manifestations, proving we can trust spiritual guidance. It is this trust built on insignificant achievements that then allows us to trust guidance on more significant, desired achievements. Achievements like shapeshifting, teleporting, astral travel and manifesting huge piles of money.
Enjoying our expansion
I love knowing this. And I have a vast treasure trove of “insignificant achievements” which has me deeply trusting guidance I get from the spiritual realm, spearheaded by my Broader Perspective. That’s why I aspire to these impossible-seeming achievements. Like shapeshifting, for example.
Developing strong connections with our Broader Perspective, our spiritual guidance, inspires very lofty goals. And that’s exactly what we’re here to experience. We’re here, on this planet, in this physical reality, to enjoy our expansion. Our expansion happens whether we want it or not. But our experiences of that expansion are up to us.
Look around. Many of us aren’t enjoying that experience. When I ask people what emotions they routinely experience in their life, almost everyone says they range between eight and below on this scale of emotions:
Most people when asked rarely experience life at five or higher on this scale.
Rarely do people experience life in the range of five and higher. And yet, that kind of daily experience, that kind of moment-by-moment happiness, can be everyone’s experience. It just requires practice, then seeing proof proving the practice works. When a person sees that proof, they want more proof, bigger proof. In a short while, the body of proof becomes overwhelming.
Part of that overwhelming body of proof includes building a relationship with one’s Broader Perspective. A relationship in which the person hears their Broader Perspective’s guidance. This is an important part of the practice I offer clients. Nothing beats receiving spiritual guidance, following it, and seeing the guidance prove accurate.
A spiritual assistant
Trusting spiritual guidance takes away life’s uncertainty. We don’t need to feel doubt or worry. Life becomes rich and full. Before long, our confidence grows. Then we start feeling, more and more, the upper range of emotions on that scale above. We feel them more frequently. Until they become our natural state.
That’s how we create happy lives. And that’s what our Broader Perspectives want for us. That’s because that’s their experience of our lives. So why shouldn’t we experience what they experience?
My Broader Perspective always suggests things they know I’ll experience the most satisfaction through. Every morning, when I wake, I receive a message from them. They offer something I should do. Doing that thing, I always feel fulfilled.
Long ago, I used to carry a Franklin Planner. It was a miniature 3-ring binder. The Franklin company sold inserts which turned the binder into a kind of personal assistant. Palm Pilots, Blackberry devices and iPhones replaced those paper assistants. But back in the day, I used that thing like it was going out of style. I kept all kinds of to-do lists. I wrote short and long term goals and kept notes about what I was doing.
These days, I rarely use to-do lists. Instead, I let my Broader Perspective guide me, moment by moment, along my daily journey. Following its guidance, I can relax and let it lead me through life. I find it extremely assuring knowing I have this spiritual assistant leading me to everything I want. Everything that will increase my joy.
Trusting the assistance
To be clear, Broader Perspective isn’t something outside of me. My Broader Perspective, and yours, is me and you. It’s the larger part of us that’s too big to fit in a physical body.
We shunt ourselves into two parts when we become human. One part of us “fills” our bodies and lives our lives. The other part remains in nonphysical. It enjoys a bird’s eye view of our life trajectory.
From there, it can see all the probable future realities available to us. As such, it can see which paths offer the most joy, the most fun, and the most direct path to what we want. What we want is a direct contribution to All That Is’ expansion. So our Broader Perspective always guides us to paths which fulfill our wants, paths with the greatest satisfaction.
Our Broader Perspective constantly sends us these messages. I’m sure you’ve felt them. But maybe you misinterpreted them. Or realized after not heeding the message that you indeed had a “gut feeling” or an “intuition”. Imagine always realizing that communication moment-by-moment, following it immediately, then seeing how doing that works out every time. Can you see how much you would grow to trust it?
That’s my experience now, after over a decade of learning to hear, then heed the guidance.
Again, our Broader Perspective constantly guides us to ALL our desires. Even those we may think are unworthy desires for All That Is to focus on. All That Is doesn’t judge our desires. It just leads us to all of them. Again, fulfilled desires are the process through which All That Is expands.
So our Broader Perspective also leads us to things like that new car, house, lover or big pile of money as well as fulfillment, joy and “spiritual enlightenment”.
A happy life and something more
There’s nothing like knowing I have a part of me guiding me to everything I want. It’s even cooler seeing it unerringly doing that, so that I can trust its guidance. This morning’s insignificant-seeming manifestation, therefore, isn’t insignificant at all. It’s one more piece of evidence contributing to the growing trust I’m putting in my Broader Perspective; that part of me guiding me to everything I want.
Again, everyone has this part of them guiding them. But we all have free will, so we must choose to hear then heed messages we get. My clients and I are learning to trust such messages even more because doing so leads to a happy life. One where everything we want happens easily and in perfect timing.
There’s nothing like a happy life. Except a happy life full of fulfilled desires!
TL;DR: In this, the latest update in a series, the author updates their progress in their aspiration to become a shapeshifter, including recent accomplishments showing them they are on track.
It looks like the last update I shared on becoming a shapeshifter was more than six months ago. It’s time for another one. A lot is happening as I soothe resistance inherent in limiting beliefs about being able to shapeshift. As a result, I’m realizing a LOT of indications shapeshifting is coming.
And not only shapeshifting. For along with that desire, I also set the intention of being able to travel outside my body, and teleport, meaning, moving my body from one location to another in an instant. Interestingly, I’ve had more concrete success with these last two than with shapeshifting.
Rather than feeling disappointment about that, however, I’m feeling excited. That’s because I know all manifestations do two really important things: one, manifestations further soothe resistance inherent in limiting beliefs. They also act as signposts; they tell me I’m on the way to everything else I’m wanting. And, as these other successes happen, with traveling outside my body, teleporting and the other manifestations I write about in this blog, I get more confident becoming a shapeshifter is happening too.
I’m going to share about all these successes and what they mean in this brief post.
So let’s go!
Results prove progress
Anything we have the ability to create in our heads we can create in reality. That’s the promise. It’s the promise of every leading “you create your reality” advocate. I’ve realized so many things promised to me by Abraham and Seth. So much so, I’ve become an advocate myself. So when I assert that I can become a shapeshifter, I’m serious about it. I know it’s possible. I know because I’ve created other really astonishing outcomes. Including creating other people.
There’s nothing different in creating a simple thing, like an event, versus a complex thing, like a person or something seemingly unbelievable. The steps are the same. As I’ve written in other parts of this series, however, the main ingredient is belief. If we disbelieve what we want, we can’t create it.
I know my disbelief is soothing. I know it because of everything else I’ve already created. Particularly my “occult” creations. Let’s look at traveling outside my body, for example. My most recent results show I’m already doing this. I’m just not able yet to control where I end up. But my awareness that I have traveled, and my ability to remain in the new reality longer and longer shows improvement.
My teleportation results are the same, although not as profound…yet. The “roiling” I felt, which I wrote about in previous updates, has long since disappeared. What’s replaced it is a sense of deeper awareness, a steadiness of sensation, a soft, coursing of energies moving through my body that settles in one of three places: my forehead, the area of my cerebellum or my solar plexus. This and a recent experience allowed a crucial shift of self. I’ll explain that next.
A shift in self
I believe shapeshifting requires reorienting our identity. It demands that we give up our focus on “us” as our bodies. This makes sense. We are eternal. At death, with our body in the ground or in a jar somewhere, our personality and self live on. We still exist in our nonphysical states of being, equipped with far greater perception than when in a body.
But many of us believe the “I” in our bodies includes, at least, in part, our bodies. That is not the case, however, as dreams clearly show. In dream state we experience other realms while our body sleeps. So our identity must not be with our bodies. We must be something more.
So lately, in meditation, I’ve been soothing the belief that “I am my body”. Instead, I’ve been focusing into “I am the aware energyflowing to andthrough this body.”
Why is that important?
I think identifying with the body makes shapeshifting impossible. For one, combined with the fear of death, which is exacerbated by identifying with the body, if the body starts to shift, the shift will trigger panic if we identify with the body as what we are. Panic will immediately shut down a shift. I think this is a major reason such abilities are not possible. That and believing they aren’t possible in the first place.
Shifting my identity to the energy flowing to and through my body, rather than on the body, comes with another benefit: it feels really good. I feel more….aware of what I am, if that makes sense. My awareness also has gotten extremely still. When in meditation, focusing on my “self” as energy, my “mind” almost totally stops.
That stillness, I believe, may be crucial for all the occult experiences I’m after.
It’s in the belief
All of this is a long-term project of course. There’s a lot of resistance in me to soothe. And that’s why so few try what I’m trying, I think. Every day “priorities” get in the way. It being a long-term project is also why it’s important to focus on and celebrate unfolding along the way. For one, they keep me inspired. Two, they offer evidence I’m making progress. And three, it’s just really fun seeing all the great stuff happening.
Having a bunch of clients in the early Positively Focused Practice producing their version of what advocates promise helps too. It’s one thing to have my own results. But seeing and hearing their results also inspires me. Especially my advance clients, who are in the dream work and meditative parts of the practice.
So there’s good progress. The biggest being how it feels to shift my identity to me as energy rather than the body.
All this is happening intuitively. There’s no guide I’m aware of. But I have great support from my Broader Perspective and my intuition.
I’m no longer accepting clients as my roster is full. But if you have a question about all this, I’m happy to answer them in the comments section. In the meantime, consider this: All of us are much more than what society, our schools, science and leaders, especially religious leaders tell us. We are unlimited beings of unlimited possibility. Reach for that possibility, just a bit, and we open up whole new worlds. Worlds that offer an unlimited, vast landscape of unbelievable ability.
But it’s only unbelievable to the degree we believe it is.
I’m finding soothing that belief. I hope this inspires you to do the same.
TL;DR: The author recounts their miraculous spiritual journey as evidence for why they know what they know is an accurate description of how the Universe works. They say since most people haven’t had such an experience, it’s hard for them to understand how accurate what they know is. So they call it “nonsense”. Or worse.
A recent post on my other blog struck a nerve among my transgender readers. Some of those folks blocked me. Others claimed I was dangerous, “a moron” and more.
That’s interesting because none of those people have any experience with what I know. I know this because when I ask them what experience they have, I get crickets in response.
One trans person wrote me a while ago. She had some solo experience with this “you create your reality” business. She even produced evidence proving it worked for her. But because she didn’t have a tutor who knew what they were doing, she missed the evidence and thus concluded the “business” doesn’t work.
At least she tried.
Everyone else, especially those who got triggered by my last post, have no idea what they’re talking about when they lambast what I know. They’re literally speaking from ignorance.
In this post, I share the miraculous way I came to know what I know, and, because of that, why I’m so sure what I know is accurate.
Unless someone has done what I’ve done, they are coming at understanding the nature of the Universe fully uninformed. After reading this you’ll understand why I can say that with such certainty. And why I know, absolutely, that what I know is NOT “New Age bullshit”.
Where to begin
I could start with how I came into the world. But that would make this post too long. Suffice it to say I knew something about what was happening here well before my birth. It wasn’t until after a stint in Christianity, a decade as a Buddhist scholar, and four years as an esoteric martial artist that I really came into my own. It’s at that point I’d like to begin my explanation. That’s when things really got undeniably clear something was happening that was not of this world.
All my life I dabbled in books about this “you create your reality” business. So something obviously resonated in me about this knowledge, something beyond the major religions.
Two authors stood out: Eckart Tolle and a woman named Esther Hicks. Again, many others came before these two, but these two really got the ball rolling.
In one of his books, Tolle expresses a skeptic’s view of his teachings. He takes on the role of a doubter asking “what evidence do you have that this is all real?” “You want evidence?” he responds. “Be the evidence you want to see.”
I took that response to heart.
After all, I already had a feeling that physical reality was 100 percent subjective. I also knew at the time that science wasn’t telling the whole story (it can’t possibly do that and for very good reasons). So I decided I would take Tolle’s advice and become the evidence I wanted to see.
It’s too bad more people won’t take that advice. If they did, they’d find themselves astonished at how real all this stuff is.
It started not-good-seeming
I, on the other hand, dove in. I upped my meditation game and started thinking more positive thoughts. Taking Tolle’s advice further, I focused more and more “in the now” and left the future and the past alone. My life did start improving. But not by much. Not at first.
Little did I know then, a person first starting out must clear away negative momentum born of negative beliefs before they can enjoy really obvious evidence things are turning. I should add that that clearing-away process IS evidence. But most of my clients have a hard time seeing that as positive. That’s because that clearing can feel awful.
That was my experience too. I created a lot of negative manifestations, including quitting my private sector job out of fear and losing my home. But looking back, I’m glad I traded all that for the life I’m living now. Letting those things go was more than worth it.
In my “clearing away negative momentum” stage, however, I inadvertently added more negative momentum to my path. A lot more. I chose to become an entrepreneur. That had me confronting even more negative beliefs. I blew through all my savings, and then added even more negative momentum by creating a company with the intention of “ending capitalism”.
And while that had a positive ring to it to me, it wasn’t aligned with my Broader Perspective knowledge about what’s happening on this planet. The more I focused on that business, the more crazy/interesting things happened. And it was right about this time that I encountered Esther Hicks.
When the student is ready…
Back then the idea that people could “channel” spirits, filled me with skepticism. But my Broader Perspective wasn’t going to let that keep me off this path. So when I took a business trip to Chico California to promote my business idea, I met a man. He was so impressed with what I was doing that he gifted me Esther’s book “Ask and It is Given”.
I knew about Law of Attraction back then, but thought it a little too woo for me. Still, I accepted the gift and when I read it, it resonated strongly. I guess I was ready for its contents.
So much so, I plunged headlong into it. That book introduced me to Seth. That introduction took me on a long detour. Seth’s material really resonated with me. Especially the analytical, detail-oriented part of me. I ended up reading every book Seth and their channeler, Jane Roberts wrote. The more I read, the more educated I got. And the more intrigued I got. When Seth said “you create your reality” I wanted to know how and how I could do it deliberately.
I’ve written this over and over too: When a person hears that they create their reality, if they’re not in a good place, then what they’ll hear is that phrase blaming them or making them at fault for their life. They won’t hear its empowering message. And….IT’S AN EMPOWERING MESSAGE.
But if a person has lived a mediocre, unsatisfying or victimized life, one born of their distorted beliefs and full of petty, chronic complaints about virtually everything, all they’ll hear is “I’m being blamed for something I can’t control.” Little do they know it’s that belief that is the basis of the reality they’re experiencing.
My experience was different. I guess I was ready.
Drawn to the work
When I read “you create your reality”, that filled me with curiosity. That curiosity had me read every Seth book. Seth focuses on dreams, detailed explanations of the totality of All That Is, how All That Is happens and our role in all that. It’s extremely dense reading. He also focuses a lot on extreme detail of how things go from vibration to physical reality. Again, it’s heady stuff. And the fact that it’s coming from a disembodied, nonphysical being, adds more hard-to-believe-ness to it.
But Seth subtly includes instruction in his writings the reader can put to use to prove what they’re reading. When they do, the proof is near immediate. The reader must know where to look to see the proof, however. If they don’t know where to look, they’ll miss it. And Seth doesn’t say where to look.
I think that’s because of the collective unfolding represented by the continuity of information Seth and Abraham offer. Seth lays out the practical nuts and bolts, but Abraham offers broad strokes as to how those nuts and bolts fit into a cohesive process, culminating in direct instructions for how to deliberately create reality. Abraham’s messages are more instructional where Seth’s could be described as “academic”, or even “scholarly”.
A portion of my complete Seth Library
It’s no wonder I was drawn to Seth’s work first. And Seth’s work prepared me deeply to integrate what I was about to discover with Abraham’s assistance.
By the way, this is why it’s crucial explorers of this material explore with help from someone who knows what they’re doing. Not only is it hard to see evidence in the beginning, it’s really easy to get off track by coming to distorted conclusions, or having strong reactions to the teachings.
Seth: My first teacher
For example, the material offers explanations for how we each exist in our own separate reality, apart from every other being. But reality looks like that’s not true. Seth handily explains why. The material also asserts that we invite every experience into our lives, including those humans might describe as tragic, even horrifying.
Reading such assertions can and usually does have people react with revulsion. Many of my clients are examples. They ask “if this is true, how can a baby invite experiencing being sexually molested? How do people create experiences where they die horrible deaths, end up homeless or addicted to drugs?”
It’s beyond the scope of this post for me to answer those questions. Suffice it to say those questions are easily answered. But as Abraham says many times “words don’t teach. Life experience teaches.” What they mean is as one moves down the path of self-discovery, their life will provide these answers in undeniable terms, not in words, but in experiences the discoverer can’t deny. And when that happens, those experiences are deeply convincing. So convincing they are, the discoverer becomes convinced. They know. Like I do.
Abraham making it plain.
Reading all of Seth’s material filled me with wonder, but it also stoked a fire within me. A lot of this I already knew. It was as though I was remembering what I forgot when I chose to come into physical reality. A powerful education was taking place. I was the student and Seth was my teacher.
And that education brought me right back to Esther and her book Ask and It is Given.
Getting ready again
But again, I faced skepticism. I wanted to believe what Esther, and Abraham, the being speaking through Esther, claimed in the book. But at the time I had a hard time getting over my resistant belief that “channeling” was fake.
Unlike many readers who spout their uninformed opinion when they read what I assert, I decided I was going to get evidence proving “channeling” was fake, or that it was real. This was part of me “being the evidence I wanted to see”.
I get most people may be too busy to take time to do what I did, but I put a high priority on all this. That’s because I knew if this stuff was true, it would mean a radically different life was available to me and I wanted that. I was open to it being real, but I also was skeptical, even as I signed up for my first Abraham seminar in San Diego, Calif.
My approach to becoming the evidence was serious and deliberate. I wanted to give it my all, which is what I encourage clients do too. I flew to San Diego and stayed in a quiet place where I could focus. There, a day before the event, I calmed myself. I also focused on three things I wanted to know, three things I figured only Infinite Intelligence would know. Abraham refers to themselves as Infinite Intelligence. Since I was going to meet Infinite Intelligence, I probably should have some profound questions…
My first direct Infinite Intelligence contact begins
An Abraham seminar typically happens in a large hotel meeting room. They also happen aboard cruise ships. The events are packed with rows of chairs and usually accommodate 1500 people or more. These events are always packed with no chair left empty.
Abraham seminar auditorium from a July 20, 2024 event. This is only one half of the room.
That first Abraham seminar was more than 10 years ago. I woke very early the morning of and meditated for an hour. I wanted to be in a strong vibrational focus so I could present the best possible evidence to myself.
At the event, I sat in the front row. I wanted a good view of what happened so I could see it all. As people filed in and took their seats, I didn’t notice anything special. No mystical buzzing filled the room, only people who were excited to be there. Some even knew each other. Obviously, some of these people had been to previous events and some even traveled around groupie-style from event to event.
Honestly, I was a bit put off by all the positive energy, which I think a lot of people would be. It was very New Age feeling.
But what happened over the next four hours turned that “put off” feeling into being totally “turned on”.
The Hot Seat
During an Abraham seminar, Esther first comes onto the stage. She greets attendees from the stage and offers preliminary information about how the day will go. Event’s are typically three hours with a break or two in the middle somewhere. After that, Esther calms herself and allows Abraham to take her over, so to speak. She recedes into the background of her consciousness and Abraham moves into the foreground.
Abraham and Esther have a strong connection. It’s highly likely Abraham is part of Esther’s Broader Perspective. What I discovered through what happened over the next several years is that Abraham is part of myBroader Perspective too. But I’m getting ahead of myself…
So this seminar got under way and part way through the first half, I noticed something strange. Once a seminar commences, Abraham looks out into the crowd and selects individuals based on their vibration. Those individuals come on stage and sit in what’s called the Hot Seat. It’s a chair on stage equipped with a microphone. There the person can ask Abraham anything they’d like. Abraham answers the question while also using it as a jumping off point to offer other information. Information pertinent to others in the room.
People therefore raise their hands in hopes of getting called to the Hot Seat. Of course, there’s only so many people that can sit in the Hot Seat in a three-hour period. Abraham can’t call everyone up. What I observed therefore, was even more strange.
It happened
What I observed was, each person who followed the person before them asked questions that were perfect segues from what the person before asked. I can’t recall examples, this was over a decade ago. Back then, however, I sat in amazement in that first hour. After the break, the second hour went the same. And, the people chosen in the first hour had obviously been in the Hot Seat before. Several of them mentioned it being their second and third time being called across many events.
The neat way in which Abraham called people to the stage, with each person’s questions perfectly dovetailing with the previous person’s, pushed my “bullshit” button. Something was up, I thought. Now mind you, I wanted to get on stage too. So while my BS meter had gone off, the pattern seemed to also heighten my desire to get on stage. But something happened in me that had me doubt being able to get up there.
Logic told me the only way this dovetailing thing could happen was if Esther had planted or preselected people invited to the stage. That’s the only thing that could explain it, at least to me. The more I watched as the day unfolded, the more skeptical I got. And the more doubtful I got that Abraham would call me. But my desire to get on stage must have overwhelmed my skepticism. And what was to unfold that is my life now crucially depended on what happened next. I know Abraham knew this. Because what happened next was a total surprise to me.
Abraham asked what was next. Time was running out in the seminar. I raised my hand and Abraham said, “come on up” while pointing directly at me.
The reservation confirmation for my San Diego Abraham event.
It begins, and begins again, and again
Abraham called me as the last person. My questions were so profound, and so personal, I understood immediately why they called me last. My questions were the perfect conclusion to the entire day.
But them calling me last also showed me my logical conclusions were all wrong. After all, there’s no way I was a plant. I didn’t even know Esther and she or a member of her team didn’t approach me. I got no pre-event questionnaire to give my questions ahead of time. No one knew what I was going to ask but me….and Abraham apparently.
Sitting in the Hot Seat, my skepticism vanished. The experience also blew away my logical conclusions. Something more was afoot here. Something deeper. I got my questions answered in the perfect way. And I left the seminar astounded.
And that was just the beginning.
Over the next four years I attended one seminar each year. In the next seminar, held in Portland where I live, Abraham called me somewhere in the middle of the day. In the following seminar, again in Portland, they called me again, this time closer to the beginning of the event. The same thing happened in the third seminar I attended. During a break, an old friend I recognized came up to me.
She asked “do you always get in the Hot Seat?”
“Apparently so,” I shrugged. I was as surprised as she was.
Each time my confidence in their teachings grew. I started listening to everything I could from them on YouTube. Their messages generally, and their personal messages to me specifically, resonated so strongly with everything I already knew, particularly from Seth.
It all affected me profoundly.
Me in the Hot Seat.
Doubling down
So much so in between these seminars I totally changed the way I lived. I had become the evidence I wanted to see by challenging myself to become that evidence. I wanted evidence and I got it. Got smacked in the kisser with it. And the more I tried living by what Abraham suggested, while also putting Seth’s guidance to practice, the better my life got and the more evidence I got.
I doubled down then on what I knew and what I was learning. I became an “Abra-hamster” as people who follow Abraham call themselves. For me, Abraham and Seth represented the pinnacle of knowledge about how the Universe works. Their collective explanations were without peer in my opinion. Again, I didn’t just accept what they said and wrote. I put it into practice. And when I did, what they said would happen happened.
Little did I know that as I doubled down Abraham and Seth were clearly paying attention to my commitment. They were pulling something together they knew would be the perfect response to my commitment, an unfolding that would solidify my knowing and complete my understanding of how the Universe works, who and what I am, and how to communicate that to others.
That which they were orchestrating started with the next Abraham seminar I attended. Nothing like it had ever happened before, according to Esther and Abraham. Never in the history of the work Esther does with Abraham had this kind of thing happened, they told me. And it happened because of what I was doing….or rather what I was being: eager to align with all that I am.
I meet my lineage and expand into my knowing
The next seminar I attended happened again in Portland. It began as they usually do, with Esther coming onto the stage and getting the event started. However, this time, when Abraham came forward, they didn’t start the event as they usually do.
Usually, they’ll speak for the first 20 minutes about some things to warm the audience up. They’ll then look out into the crowd, say something funny like, “You’re all here ready for trouble”, then pick someone to come to the Hot Seat.
This time, they didn’t do that.
They came forward through Esther and spent perhaps half the usual time prepping. While doing so, they kept looking directly at me again and again. At the first break, people I know in the audience came up to me. They noticed too that Abraham kept looking directly at me. So I wasn’t hallucinating or anything like that.
The moment they finished their shortened introduction, Abraham said “Let’s begin right here” and while saying that pointed straight at me.
I took my place in the Hot Seat. Typically individual Hot Seat experiences range from 10 to about 15 minutes. But this time, I sat there, the first one called, for a full 30 minutes! Again, this had never happened before. When I returned to my seat in the audience I was floating in my body. I thought back through all the seminars, all the reading I had done, the wondrous experiences I had had across all these years and knew this was a special moment.
But Abraham had just gotten started.
It gets way better
At the end of every seminar, Abraham has some closing words. Then, they recede into Esther and Esther returns to the foreground of her consciousness. She’s always ecstatic in response to the time spent in the seminar, expresses how much she loves everyone, says goodbye and heads off stage, off the side of the stage and through the background curtains.
That’s not what happened this time. This time, she said her goodbyes and instead of leaving through the background curtains, Esther, stepped down the front of the stage, walked over to where I stood and ripped my name tag off my shirt. She put her hand on the back of my head and pulled my ear to her mouth. There she told me something I will not share. But suffice it to say it was ASTOUNDING.
A few days later, I got a call. It was Esther. She invited me to a personal 1:1 conversation with Abraham, which began over text message and moved to a phone call. Then, over the next 10 weeks, me, Esther and Abraham enjoyed personal sessions where I could ask anything I wanted. Abraham also taught me everything they could about how the Universe works, humanity’s role in all that, my role in all that, and about my lineage, which includes Abraham and Seth.
They then laid out how my life would go from there if I follow through with the commitment I made to myself, which, ultimately was something, according to them, I had committed to before I came into a physical body. They gave me all of this at no cost.
Recordings making up my library of 1:1 sessions with Abraham and Esther.
My direct experience
Nearly everything they told me in those 10 weeks has happened. Some things haven’t yet, but definite signs of their emergence are there. Everything can’t have happened already, because my life is still ongoing. But so much has already happened, I know the others things will too.
And this is why I know what I know, I say and write what I say and write and how I know what I say and write is 100 percent accurate. I consider Seth and Abraham not only my lineage, but part of my Broader Perspective, that part of me that continues guiding and assisting me in this life and the other lives I live as part of All That Is.
So when people call me a moron, or think I offer “dangerous nonsense”, I know they don’t know anything about what they’re talking about. When they say this stuff is pseudoscience I know they have done nothing to become the evidence.
This is why too when I ask such people “What have you done to prove it is, for example, dangerous nonsense, and under whose tutelage did you try to prove it?” I get crickets in return. Because such people are talking with no direct experience with All That Is or with Infinite Intelligence.
I have direct experience with both. And my life and my clients’ lives are unfolding accordingly. In other words, our lives are all improving. Because what I describe in my writings is exactly how the Universe works.
This explains why I say people claiming it’s dangerous nonsense, or that it’s gibberish or gobbledygook, literally have no idea what they’re talking about. Because they literally don’t.
But I do.
PS:
As a result of this experience, I know some really amazing things are happening right now, even when it looks like things are taking a turn for the worst. The future is going to be magnificent.
