More Fabulous Results Towards Becoming A Shapeshifter

TL;DR: The author recounts a meditative experience where they felt their body compressing and changing shape, suggesting progress towards their goal of shapeshifting.  They acknowledge the subjective nature of this experience but believe it is possible through practice and releasing resistance. The author also reflects on the implications of their journey, including the potential to inspire humanity and their role as a world leader.

Aside from wonderful dream recall, recalling dreams wherein I lived in alternate realities that were so clear, so tangibly real, like this reality, I also experienced in meditation this morning, more evidence of progress towards the reality in which I am a shapeshifter.

That was a long sentence. But there’s absolutely convincing evidence that becoming a shapeshifter is possible. 

The only thing is, the evidence is 100 percent subjective. That’s the basis of all reality though. And if one understands that…no…if they KNOW that, then the evidence is absolutely convincing. Otherwise, it seems like a delusion.

I know it’s not a delusion.

I want to describe what happened while asleep, because what happened is so rich and satisfying. But I cannot accurately communicate that rich satisfaction because it is, again, subjective. The best way for one to feel what I feel upon waking and while in a sleep state is experiencing it themselves. What’s problematic about that is, having such events occur takes practice. Both practice and time. Preferably practice and time with someone who knows how to achieve what I’ve achieved.

So instead, I’ll just describe what happened in my meditation as feelings overcame me. Feelings accompanied by sensations proving I’m becoming a shapeshifter.

Here we go!

Science gets in the way

After the first 30-minutes of my hour meditation, the sensations began. My goal in becoming a shapeshifter is to accomplish something truly remarkable. I’m focusing on shifting my male body into a female one. Doing so presents interesting physical and physics-related challenges. I’m six feet tall and 166 pounds. My body is quite muscular after years of working out. I present an unequivocal male form.

So shifting to female requires doing something about the law of conservation of mass implying mass can’t be created or destroyed. And becoming a woman requires losing mass, because, generally, a woman’s mass is less than a man.

The problem with that physics law is that it depends on a closed system. The problem with science, including physics, is that it believes certain things that are distortions about All That Is. One of those distortions is that All That Is is a closed system. It is not.

So I’m soothing such beliefs resisting my desire of becoming a shapeshifter. One of those goes like this: If I turn my body into a female, the female body will be composed of less mass. Where will the rest of that mass go? And how will I get it back when I want to become male again?”

Making definite progress

That belief puts the kibosh on shifting. If you read the thought as though you’re thinking it, you can feel the fear inherent in it. There’s a worry too that if I turn into a female, and want to turn back into a male, I won’t have the “mass” available to do it.

That worry is a problem and so is the fear, not the apparent mass conundrum. Believing in a closed system is a problem too. Thinking mass is conserved, in the way classical mechanics of science asserts, is a problem too.

Back to what happened.

So in the second half of the meditation, as usual, I focused on amplifying my conscious awareness of my conscious awareness. In doing so, I’m becoming more aware that I am more than my physical body. Instead, I’m pure, positive energy, an energy being, focusing myself into a reality — physical reality — I create from the energy that is me.

Interesting that today’s Abraham message provides an overview of how thoughts turn to things. We can create any thing therefore, through our thoughts and beliefs. Any. Thing.

That’s a major step in becoming a shapeshifter. Decoupling my identity from my body soothes stories preventing the transformation. It also soothes fears that pop up as evidence starts happening. Without soothing those fears, the fear of death comes up almost instantly. That instantly stops any forward progress.

Identifying with my body does the same thing. Because if I believe I “am” my body, and my body turns into something else, even with my willing participation, my identity gets threatened. That triggers fear and that too stops progress in its tracks.

The biggest resistance making it impossible

But in soothing identification with my body and also identifying what I am with what I actually am, then receiving evidence of that, I also realize I am eternal. Nothing can harm my essential self. That frees myself from resistant thoughts that ordinarily put the kibosh on dramatic things well within our ability, but out of bounds for those who don’t know who or what they are.

And this explains why doing something like this takes a while. A lot of soothing must take place. It’s not that it takes a long time to shape-shift. The moment we conjure the desire, the desire is done. It takes time because we must become a match to the desire. Becoming a match to wanting to shape-shift takes significant effort, again, not to shape-shift, but to soothe resistance keeping us from becoming a match to the act.

The biggest resistance at the surface of all this is believing shape-shifting is impossible. Other beliefs, those taught to us by science, for example, also stand in the way. But once those are soothed, the big ones must also be soothed. Those are what we believe we are and our fear of death.

I’ve made significant progress at all this. That explains why what happened this morning happened.

What happened was while I was in meditation, focusing on my awareness, I felt the body wanting to “compress”, to draw inwards, with that drawing-in oriented around the spinal column. I felt the neck’s circumference getting smaller. Also, I felt the shoulders, arms, and legs slenderizing. I also felt the teeth and gums “moving” as though seeking a position in the mouth as though the mouth were smaller. An essence of flowing, thick, long hair also registered around the head…

The inherent resistance in questions

Speaking of teeth: another resistant thought I must soothe has to do with what’s in my mouth. I have a crown and a filling in there. They are “inorganic”. I wonder, when I’m able to shapeshift, what will happen with those inorganic parts? Will I shift those too so they come with me into my new form? And when I turn back, will I manifest a new crown and filling? Or will my teeth, in my return, “become whole”, i.e. I won’t need a filling and crown anymore?

Again, these kinds of questions bring resistance to the table. And resistance is what slows down any manifestation. Resistance is initially unavoidable. It’s an inherent part of expansion. After all, what I’m doing is extremely leading edge. As such, it’s normal to entertain beliefs in the form of questions about things I don’t know that I want to know.

Of course, both Seth and Abraham suggest that posing such questions isn’t the best approach. They say it’s better to know that everything is working out as the best way to get what we want. But it’s normal to start with resistant-laden questions, then using them as launching pads towards less and less resistance. This is especially so for feats that have never been done before. At least not in this reality. At least not to my knowledge.

So as my 1-hour meditation timer went off, I remained in meditation for another eight minutes to nail down these feelings in my body. I wanted to remember how they felt so I could put them in this post.

Knowing it’s happening

The sensations and how I felt while observing them were quite reassuring. It’s wonderful feeling these things while knowing the process is working. I know the more I soothe resistant thoughts such as those I described above, I’ll “allow” more progress.

Meanwhile, the progress I’m seeing now, now feels like an “of course”; like, this is just how it happens: gradually, releasing resistance, expanding more into the desire, releasing more resistance and expanding even more into the desire. Until the desire fulfills itself in my reality.

That “of course” feeling, like this is just how it happens, is a very positive sign toward me actualizing becoming a shapeshifter. It shows me I’ve moved from “wanting to”, to “believing I can” to “knowing it’s happening”.

Sometimes I feel excited about sharing this accomplishment with the rest of humanity. I believe that’s part of this path. But most of the time, I’m more grounded. I know I’m not doing this for anyone but myself.

Well, I am doing it for others because I am a world leader, someone who came to show humanity what’s possible while holding the space for our collective ascent into a higher dimension.

And so, I feel the excitement and the groundedness both. Holding them both while having experiences like this morning feels really, really good.

How Your Radically Authentic Self Makes The World Better

Two Words: Colin Kaepernick

Like many before him, he is giving the mainstream world a thing or two to think about. And making it better in the process.

In case you don’t know, Kaepernick is the San Francisco 49ers quarterback who in 2016 began kneeling during the national anthem in protest of racism, social inequality and police brutality.

He left the 49ers to become a free agent. But the NFL believed him a pariah because, like many big institutions, they can’t handle the truth. Or more simply, they can’t handle losing money in the short term because the peanut gallery can’t handle the truth. And big institutions get rich by catering to the peanut gallery.

Nike was in a similar situation. According to anonymous sources quoted by this New York Times Article, Nike was considering ending their relationship with the controversial, non-playing football player.

Now, as you probably know, all that reversed.

The company is now charting record “brand engagement” as a result of getting behind Kaepernick’s cause, according to their CEO. Particularly among the urban demographic, a coveted target for the athletic brand.

But this story is about Kaepernick as an example to would-be iconoclasts.

There is no value in you playing small and going along with the crowd.

There is every value in being your authentic self, no matter how much ire that authenticity will draw in the short term.

If you stick to your guns, you will prevail. And the world will be forever changed for the better as a result. You came to change the world in your own way great or small.

Going with the crowd is not world-changing.

For two years, Kaepernick withstood criticism from many institutions. Including the nation’s highest political office. Now his rise as a national civil rights icon with a massive brand backing him, is testament to what any human being willing to stand in their authenticity can do.

Individuals change the world. Not groups.

At this point, there is barely a limit on what is possible for the former quarterback. His platform has expanded dramatically. It is reported he now has a book deal, speaking tour and is developing a comedy series.

Kaepernick’s example isn’t the only one.

Shepard Fairey’s name should be no surprise. If it is, his artwork isn’t.

Now enjoying a huge artistic career, Shepard didn’t become famous over night. According to the documentary about his life and art, Shepard had a singular ambition: to express himself artistically.

As a young skateboarder and graffiti artist, he roamed the country posting stickers, posters and flyers on virtually anything and everything, before creating a poster for the Obama presidential campaign.

That poster made him famous.

But what some don’t know is in the midst of all that election fame, Shepard was in the toughest year of his life. He was being sued by municipalities for his history as a graffiti artist. But what was even more scary was the Associated Press filed a massive lawsuit against the artist. A lawsuit that could bankrupt the artist, his family and end his career.

Just like Kaepernick however, Fairey stuck to his path, lived his authentic life creating beautiful and compelling critiques of political figures disguised as art. Even though, as he describes it, he weathered some of the greatest challenges during that entire time.

You must not underestimate the value of your authentic expression.

The more radical the better. But you also must not underestimate the value negative attention brings to your cause.

If you allow your fears of rejection or “crucifixion” by the “mob” that is mainstream society or a subsection thereof to intimidate you, you are bound to give up your authentic voice in favor of….what?

Social acceptance? Money? Reputation? Is social acceptance, money and reputation really on par with the potential to change the world?

Besides, when you’ve done what you came to do, you will have all the acceptance, money and reputation you can handle. And then some.

You have an authentic voice. You came into the world equipped to make it a better place. That better place doesn’t happen when you’re going along with the mainstream.

It only happens when you speak your authenticity. The more radical the better.

Now we know a lot of people talk about “living authentically”. Rarely if ever do these people explain how to do that. We’re going to.

 

How to live your authentic life:

First, realize this process will not happen over night. But know that, no matter how old you are, or how little time in life you think you have, you have plenty of time to accomplish this. Perry is 54 years old and just getting started, for example.

No one is too old.

So you start by releasing the idea that time is a factor. Or age. Or any current situation. None of that has any relevance.

Second, you must screw on knowing that your voice is valid. We use the phrase “screw on” purposefully. Threads on a screw have great holding power. They will hold under great stress. Your knowing your voice is valid comes from within. It comes from your connection with the source of the “sound” of your voice.

The stronger your connection with that source, the more invincible you will feel. Silence, meditation, long walks in nature are great processes reconnecting you with your source. Do that regularly. We recommend this process for getting in tune with your source.

Third, reorganize your priorities. Your voice’s strength must be nurtured. That takes time. What gets you through the time it takes for your voice to be ready is how freaking great it feels being in touch with your authenticity. Again, this process is golden.

Perry quit his job at Intel to pursue his value-based priorities. We don’t recommend this. He has a supportive wife. You don’t have to quit your day job. But at least put it in perspective.

For example, in some places around the world, up to 50 percent of people work bullshit jobs. That means you’re probably doing something for money that represents a compromise, or perhaps many compromises, on your values. It’s time your values retake the priority high ground.

That’s because your voice lurks within your values.

Fourth, start doing some serious introspection. The best place Perry has found to reconnect with his voice is his childhood. He asked some time ago “what did I really want to be when I grew up?”

Look at what you liked to do as a child. What inspired you? What did you dream about? How did you see the world? The fantasy world of your childhood often holds within it your voice’s small timbre, waiting for you to crank the volume.

Another place to look: your reaction to the world around you. This is tricky though. If you’ve lived, even a little while, on the planet, you likely have taken on stories which cause knee-jerk emotional reactions that fill you will injustice, a sense of unfairness and moral outrage.

Those areas can be where your voice is lurking. But they could also be ingrained knee-jerk reactions you’ve taken on from society. These kinds of reactions tend to cut you off from your voice. So you have to be discerning as you observe how you react to the world around you.

Once you’ve found your voice, you need to practice delivering it. So get started expressing your voice to yourself at first. Not to others. We offer this for several reasons.

First, you’re not ready for the potential onslaught from the peanut gallery trying to kill your originality before it’s mature enough to survive such attacks. Second, you need time to figure out how best to express yourself. Is it with film? Poetry? Writing? News commentary? Podcasting? Walking across the United States? Interviewing homeless people?

There are endless numbers of ways to express yourself. Somewhere in there is your niche. You’ll find it if you dedicate time to discovering it.

Meanwhile, in the self-discovery, you’ll have fun. And, when you’re ready to tell the world, you’ll have an impressive amount of content ready-made to share. Not all of it will be brilliant, but it doesn’t have to be.

Next: Practice, practice practice.

Follow your impulses. Do things you think are crazy. Sure, quit your job if you really know that’s what you want to do. Just realize quitting your job isn’t required to find your voice, or express it. At least not at first.

Refine your voice, explore things. You’re on a wild goose chase for the co-inciding events and circumstances which delight you and thus indicate you’re on your path. Take all this as  the greatest adventure of your life and it will be that.

And if you keep at it, you will come to the same sense of steadiness, of invincibility we’re sure are embodied by two words, which actually are a name: Colin Kaepernick.

 

 

Your Harshest Critics Are Awesome Allies

Attacks on what you’re doing tell you you are on your path.

Everyone who accomplished something great did so facing massive criticism. Some harsher than others.

If you are crucified by the mainstream, congratulations. You are in good great company. Those who changed the world for the better are rarely liked.

That is, until their deed is done.

Facebook and Apple are not the kinds of “world changing” we’re talking about.

Changing humanity’s trajectory, significantly improving fundamental societal structures, and heralding in a new relationship between human beings –– these are the kinds of accomplishments we’re talking about.

When you’re up to something that significant you’re bound to attract those who hate what you are doing, those jealous of what you’re doing, those who fear what you’re doing.

You’re equally bound to attract those who love what you’re doing.

But if you’re up to something significant, you must remain true to what you’re doing and not let either the adoration or the hate beguile you you. For hate can easily turn to adoration and adoration turns to hate just as easily.

Humans are capricious.

Most of them would rather go along with the crowd. Most of them fear being ostracized by that crowd. And most of them also criticize that very same crowd.

Abraham calls the crowd “the peanut gallery”. Their opinion matters so little it’s not worth peanuts to such a one standing in their invincibility.

When you’re doing something significant, you’re likely to be alone in your pursuit. Something else Abraham says: It’s lonely on the leading edge. In the silence of that leading edgeness however, you discover life mastery.

· · ·

For those who know their invincibility, the peanut gallery’s opinion matters not one whit.

While it’s been often mis-attributed to Mahatma Ghandi, the homily, which more likely comes from union leader Nicholas Klein, still paints a compelling picture:

  • You’re first ignored
  • Then you are laughed at
  • Then they try to abuse you
  • Then they enshrine monuments to you

So many would-be world-changers give up when people ignore them. Or when they are laughed at. Many who get through those phases, give up when abuse shows up. The very few who continue reach the promise land of dreams fulfilled.

https://youtu.be/7CwY5atbYnE

Glory goes to those who fulfill dreams. Not to those who just dream them.

In today’s connected world, no human can deliberately plan events such that their voice rises above the noise.

But when allied with All That Is, providence steps in, orchestrating on behalf of the connected individual, events which seem like lucky breaks or coincidence.

More often, though, the best, divinely-inspired events look like bad luck. Horrible luck even.

Here is what separates those who are enshrined from those who go unrecognized.

The enshrined understand their enemy’s true value.

Antagonism serves the iconoclast well. For ridicule, abuse, negative attention and opposition all amplify their message.

Recently, Perry was a guest on a Facebook Live event. Actually, he was the main course, as the audience was furious at things he had said recently. They were looking for their pound of flesh. Two pounds really.

What was billed as a discussion could have been described as an ambush had Perry not already known what was going to happen. The host and her audience attacked and ridiculed and laughed at Perry, his lifestyle, his beliefs. They tried to take him to task for his perspective on the transgender community.

But Perry is invincible. There is no task a mob can take him to because Perry has clarity. He doesn’t need agreement from the peanut gallery, which is often ignorant and lost in the what-is-ness of life.

Interestingly, while many of the loudest voices pilloried him during the show, some less vocal people heard what he was saying. Their experience will dramatically change their lives.

Screen Shot 2018-09-27 at 04.17.59 AM

Though they will not be able to connect their participation in that event with life changes they will experience, the experiences will none the less offer opportunities otherwise not available.

 

Those who don’t understand you are going to ignore you. Those threatened by your authenticity are going to attack you. Then those who were ignoring you will join in the attack. Or they will watch from the sidelines. If you look like them, if they think you are part of their tribe they are going to try to force you to conform to their ideas of proper tribe behavior.

Very few tribes are as insecure and therefore fearful of change than the tribe known as “black people”.

But if you can continue, despite attempts to get you to conform to others’ opinion of how you should be, you will, over time, shape the world to your divinely-inspired opinion.

And you will discover how powerful you are. And how invincible you are.

Colin Kaepernick would not be where he is were he not shunned by the NFL and other major institutions including the Republican Party the casual racists and the rest of the peanut gallery.

People who have changed society or the world did so amidst harsh rebukes. Harsh rebukes are what people offer when they don’t understand.

For the world-changer, it’s best to let the peanut gallery do what it does best: assist in their own special way in your success.

Recognize attacks are part of the path and you win.
