TL;DR: Elon Musk’s awkward gesture at a rally sparked controversy, with some interpreting it as a Nazi salute. This event serves as a case study in how beliefs shape reality, with people’s interpretations influenced by their preconceived notions and emotional states. By understanding this phenomenon, individuals can align their focus with their desires and create a more empowered future, free from the limitations of fear-based beliefs.
Elon Musk is keeping the body politic guessing. He’s keeping others enraged and some others gleeful. People, generally, are going nuts about his latest gesture. Indeed, with Trump coming back into office, a lot of people are feeling really, really insecure. Meanwhile, the media are making advertising bank stoking fires of that insecurity.
Indeed, there’s no better time than now to see how powerful beliefs create reality. In seeing how powerful they’re playing out in current events, we as individuals can benefit from those examples. We can learn a thing or two, in other words.
How?
By using current events, which are reflections of our collective inner state, as tuning devices, thereby increasing our alignment to what it is we want. Doing that, we can actually become happier. Even while others are in emotional upheaval and with not a thing changing around us.
Let’s use what Elon Musk did last week as an example. Then let’s amplify our clarity and discover how a Nazi salute that was, wasn’t, then was again.
First a disclaimer and trigger warning
This post contains potentially offensive content. Whether you experience it that way depends on your beliefs. If you’re Jewish or progressive and sensitive about the long history of fascism in the world, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU STOP READING RIGHT NOW.
SERIOUSLY, NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THIS PAGE. If you continue reading, and you make disparaging comments in the comment section, you are, for sure, going to be blocked because you can not control yourself. And this work, this Positively Focused practice, requires an extraordinary measure of self control.
Second disclaimer: I don’t have a dog in the fight that is US politics. It doesn’t matter what happens in politics to me because I’m the creator of my reality, not politicians. So while I’m diving into this political moment, the moment itself, and politics in general, are of little interest to me other than as learning experiences.
So I’m totally indifferent about what Elon Musk did. Ironically, because of that, I enjoy a broad perspective from which to understand what happened. What happened and why it happened. So, with the disclaimer down, let’s dive in.
So what happened?
At a rally following the Trump inauguration, Elon Musk took the stage. With great emotion, he expressed how important the past election was. Then he profusely thanked the audience for what he believes was doing the right thing: electing Trump. His thanks took the form of saying “I give my heart to you!”
Either right as or shortly after saying those words, he made a somewhat awkward gesture. With his right hand, he thumped his chest over his heart, then threw his hand outward, extending his right arm completely straight and upward. Immediately after, parts of the world went apoplectic.
The Southern Poverty Law Center said the gesture set off a “firestorm of controversy.” Meanwhile many US Politicians heavily criticized Musk for giving what they described as a “Nazi salute”. Also, according to the Associated Press, many right wing groups embraced the gesture, interpreting it similarly. Austria and Germany both called for banning Musk. And, of course, social media is equally ablaze with apoplectic opinions about Musk’s act.
Musk himself basically responded by saying “guys, give it a break.”
When a client sent me a cartoon depicting the act, it intrigued me. That’s because, as I wrote above in my disclaimer, I’m indifferent to politics. But I had a sense this event might offer a window into how people’s beliefs literally run them. That’s why I took interest.
What I found interesting was, the more I dove into this affair, the more empowered I became about what I know.
Momentum and Nazis
The first thing I did was go watch the original footage. Watching it perplexed me. I know what a Nazi salute looks like and what Musk did was not that. It didn’t surprise me that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an antisemitism watchdog group, agreed. Referring to the gesture, the group said Musk didn’t make a Nazi salute. Rather he “made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm”.
That’s what I saw.
It’s widely known that Musk is on the spectrum. He’s an awkward person. And he often appears uncomfortable in ordinary situations. Being on stage isn’t “ordinary” and I’m sure, for Musk, emotional expressions aren’t either. So what I saw in the gesture was an awkward guy expressing deep relief and thanking his audience in an equally awkward way.
That’s all.
But it doesn’t surprise me that people, especially politicians, went crazy over all this. Think about it. The left has been building up a lot of fear about Trump returning to the White House. Left-leaning, biased media has been doing the same. Individual progressives did the same thing too. Through social media they’ve enrolled a lot of people into the momentum of their trepidation. Their disgust with Trump includes expectations that his authoritarian speech defines the new president as a fascist. Maybe even a Nazi.
Consider all this focus has been underway since Trump’s last term. When a person focuses on something for a long time, that focus creates momentum. Get enough of that going and it will keep going on its own. Before long, that momentum will turn into physical reality. That reality will then prove “true” thoughts and beliefs that person focused on. Then the thoughts and beliefs will no longer be thoughts and beliefs. They’ll be the “Truth”.
Willing stooges
When that happens, hardly anything will change that person’s mind about what they believe. What’s more, that person will see everything through the lens of that truth.
So when Musk joined Trump during election season, everyone thinking Trump was a fascist lumped Musk in to that category. As Trump continued with his authoritarian speech, people’s truths were further confirmed. When Trump won, the emotional upheaval among liberals caused those same people to double down on their truths. Truths mainly based on fear-filled future expectations.
When Musk then got on stage and made his awkward gesture, of course liberals, many Jews, Holocaust rememberers, and more would interpret that gesture through their collective memory.
The problem is, a rich and well-documented history supports exactly what a Nazi salute is and what it isn’t. And Musk’s gesture fails the test of history. Furthermore, if some people had an ounce of self-control and reasoning capability they would have seen the difference between Musk’s gesture and a Nazi salute.
Instead, many people live their lives through their emotions. That’s not a good thing. Because when a person lives their lives through emotions, they give a lot of their power away. In other words, they become willing stooges for manipulators. And that’s what we’re seeing with the large number of biased media outlets.
Those outlets make a LOT of money off out-of-control people living through their emotions by triggering those people and keeping their attention on everything going wrong. It doesn’t matter if it’s ACAB, BLM or MAGA.
Here’s the thing: You don’t have to be one of those people!
Your next four years…
If you allow yourself to become one of those people, however, woe unto you. You’re limiting your future.
Allow yourself the empowerment that’s naturally yours, however, and you make your future unlimited. Indeed, the only limits an empowered person puts on the future are those limits which shape a future of their desires, thereby leaving everything else out.
In other words, an empowered person limits their now to include only those things that match what they want to see in the future. By “now” I’m including thoughts and beliefs they think, as well as things they share with others, whether through social media, or through their speech.
We can’t help but limit our future. That’s because our focus, the ability to put our attention in certain places, is only so broad. So whenever we focus, by definition, we’re placing limits. And when we do that, we allow into our experience only those things matching our focus.
That’s why those thinking Trump is a fascist and so is Musk saw only what they saw: a Nazi salute. But it wasn’t a Nazi salute, unless you think it was.
And if you do, well, you’re in for a very uncomfortable four years.
Meanwhile, for others, the next four years are going to be positively astounding. Want to know how? Consider joining this event I’ve planned for March. Have a MeetUp account? Go here.
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: 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. Want to know what I’m talking about? Consider joining this event I’ve planned for March. Have a MeetUp account? Go here.
TL;DR: Many progressives are struggling with the 2024 election outcome. In this story, the author shows how progressives helped Trump win the 2024 election. Then they show what progressives can do next to benefit from what happened on Nov. 5.
I’m pretty thrilled with what happened last Tuesday. Although I must admit, I didn’t feel that way last Wednesday. That’s because my Broader Perspective assured me one candidate would prevail over the other.
That’s not what happened. Trump handily won. And it may be that the Senate and the House will fall to GOP majorities too. At the time of this writing, that’s unclear.
What is clear though is half of America is thrilled. The other half is flip-flopping through rage, depression, disbelief, terror and more.
I didn’t vote for Trump. But I’m glad he’s going to be president. Not for reasons you may think though, dear reader. In this post, I’ll lay out why I’m thrilled instead of terror-struck about the election results and why you should/could be as well.
Let’s get to it!
A brilliant manifester
Those who haven’t regularly read my blog will struggle with what they’re about to read. I invite comments and questions, just try to keep them civil. Those who have regularly read my blog will find this post consistent with everything else I write. In fact, earlier this year, I wrote about Trump and his seeming amazing ability to thwart what some might call justice.
No two ways about it: Trump is a brilliant manifester. He focuses on what he wants and he doesn’t care about things like facts, the truth or what others think about him. As a result of his pure focus, he usually gets what he wants.
Discovering Trump’s massive increase in his personal fortune, thanks largely to Truth Social, astounded me. All those silly things he sold to his followers, coins, custom Bibles, shoes…all those things are evident of his powerful manifestation momentum. Especially when it comes to money. But Truth Social really took the cake. Until now.
Now, I don’t agree with anything he is about. And yet, I must admire his ability to focus. His ability to focus on what he wants…and manifest it.
Willing participants
Not so much with progressives. We all are points of consciousness, existing in a vibrational reality of All That Is. Out thoughts determine what we create as our life experience. That includes politics. There’s no evidence disputing this.
So when a person focuses on something they want and they don’t resist it they will realize that thing in their lives at some point. Again, resistance is key. If they focus a little on what they want, and a lot on what they don’t, that conflicting focus slows down and can even prevent them getting what they want. Indeed, that conflicting focus can actually produce in their lives exactly what they don’t want.
And that’s exactly what nearly every progressive person was doing, including myself, leading up to Nov. 5. Yes, I wanted Harris to win. But was my focus purely on that outcome? Nope. I dabbled in resisting Trump. And doing so, I added momentum to all the others wanting him to win, including Trump himself. That’s right, every progressive focusing intently on what Trump was doing vibrationally aligned themselves with the GOP, Trump and MAGA.
And that’s why Trump prevailed in the election. All those progressive points of consciousness became cooperative components of Trump’s desire to be president.
How it really works
So when I say everyone got what they wanted, that’s what happened. By “got what they wanted” I mean, they got what they predominantly focused on. This is an important aspect of this “you create your reality” business. We don’t get what we say we want. We don’t even get what we think we want. What we get is the physical match to the dominant vibration we’re emanating. And we emanate through our focus.
When we focus on something we don’t want, if we keep doing that, that’s what’s going to manifest. Life experience is a reflection. It constantly reflects back to us what we’re emanating. Having our focus become visible, life experience helps us understand what we’re emanating, even if we can’t feel the vibration.
This explains why it’s important to not focus on the now so much, especially when it contains what we don’t want. Because when we do that, we are focusing our emanate-or on the reflection of past focus or vibration. Doing that, we create again what we’ve already created in our reflection. That’s how “reality” persists; many points of consciousness are focused on what is, thereby perpetuating it.
To get what we really want, we use our reflection to know where we are – what we’re emanating – and if where we are is not what we want to create, we shift our focus or emanation.
Most people don’t know that, so when something shows up that they don’t want, they keep focusing on that. They complain about it, or push against it. And in doing that they create more of it.
That’s how progressives helped Trump win. And yet, there’s a really good outcome inherent in getting what we don’t want. Let’s look at that next.
Setting up the prerequisite
Anyone can use physical reality to figure out what they’re creating. Indeed, that’s what it’s there for. However, people can develop sensitivity sufficient to perceive how they’re vibrating. They also can listen to thoughts they think on the regular. Thoughts are more-manifested vibration, after all. So if our sensitivity to vibration isn’t very keen, we can pay attention to our thinking. If that’s too much work we can simply observe what shows up in our lives.
Nearly everyone not in a practice such as the Positively Focused practice I show clients how to use has insufficient sensitivity to perceive their vibratory emanations. The same amount of people don’t bother thinking about how they’re thinking. They think thinking is just an automatic process. Not something subject to their control.
So for all those people, it’s easiest to watch what shows up in their lives as a way of knowing what they’re emanating. Since we’re all eternal, we have all the time in the world to use that method, to create what we want. So it’s all good.
But some people fear their physical reality. They think, for example, that now that Trump is president they must flee the US. Or, those outside the US must fear the US. That’s flawed thinking because it’s based on a premise that will bite people in the ass if they don’t realize it’s a flaw. We’ll get to the good outcome I alluded to above. Let’s first look at this flawed premise as a prerequisite. It’s important.
I’ve shared this over and over: each of us exists in our own, individually-created reality. People in our reality are there as reflections. They reflect what we are thinking about the people they represent: strangers, letter carriers, loved ones, family members, coworkers, etc. So no one shares their reality with another. The Positively Focused practice makes this absolutely clear by pointing practitioners to evidence proving this the case. If you don’t believe this, then just assume it’s true for now.
Since we’re all in our own reality, and since we’re each the creator of that reality, nothing and no one can create something for us. Only we can. But if we think/believe that someone or something can create our reality, then our reality will reflect that back to us. How? In the form of a reality seemingly being created by others. It will also include events seeming to randomly happen, usually against our will. Again, it’s not that someone else is creating it or that what’s happening is random or accidental. We’re creating that experience from the belief (the vibration emanation) that draws that experience to us.
Many beliefs can do that. Here are examples and all of them exist fairly prevalent in human consciousness:
Life is an accident of random processes
God is real and his will supersedes mine
Accidents happen
Bad luck happens
Good luck happens
Bad things happen to good people
Life is dangerous
Life is random
We never know when our time is up
Many more similar beliefs exist. But these should give us an idea of what beliefs create realities wherein it looks like others shape our experience.
Where reality comes from
The problem with such beliefs doesn’t end with the fact that they create realities that look like others can control what happens in our experience. Such beliefs, if believed, means that the person holding them must contend with such a reality!
So if we believe the world is going to hell because Trump is now president, we must leave the country, or even the world, if possible, because that belief will create experience consistent with it. So I wouldn’t tell someone contemplating moving to Canada to stay in the US. If they believe staying in the US is dangerous to them, they will perceive evidence proving this true. And eventually, they will attract to themselves experiences confirming the perceived danger.
But here’s the thing: another person, with the exact same conditions minus the belief about Trump will not see that evidence. And if they believe their reality springs from their empowering beliefs, it doesn’t matter that Trump is president. Because the president has no ability to force conditions to play out in our lives. Nor does anyone else. Unless we believe they do.
Beliefs create reality. Focus creates reality. Thoughts create reality. All three of these are the only Source of reality as it exists for each person. It’s important then, to cultivate beliefs consistent with the reality one wants.
But even if we don’t, the Universe and All That Is will help us do so. How? Well, now it’s time to visit that good outcome I mentioned above.
A matter of choice
A hallmark of the Positively Focused practice describes the instantaneous creation of our ongoing reality experience. Part of that process includes our physical reality as a reflector. Here’s how that works. Here’s also how Trump winning the election is a good thing, especially for progressives.
Since our reality is a reflection, whether we’re conscious of it or not, we immediately know two things in the moment we experience the reflection: we know what we don’t want and we know what we do want.
In the case of negative reflections, the “not wanted” is front and center. Our emotions, thoughts and even our bodies sometimes reflect the “unwanted” aspect of an unpleasant experience. For nearly all progressives, Nov. 6 was an “unwanted” reality.
MAGA won with the help of progressives.
But in that same instant, progressives knew what they wanted. No, they didn’t want Tump to not be president. That’s still a focus on Trump, which leads to him being president. Some progressives wanted freedom to be. Some wanted empowerment in their lives or the lives of people they know. Others wanted a country that, in their mind, cares for others. Many wanted all these things and more.
And in that moment of realization, in knowing what they wanted and what they didn’t want, they had a choice – a crucial choice. They could vibrationally focus on what they wanted. Or they could vibrationally focus on what they didn’t want.
I would bet nearly every single progressive in America focused, on Nov 6, on what they didn’t want. And they did that with very strong emotional intent. That’s a problem.
It must be
It’s a problem because all those progressives, while not knowing it, amplified Tump becoming president by focusing on that not wanted situation and through their focus and emotions added more momentum to what they already focused into existence on Nov 5. It’s exactly what I described above about looking at what is and thereby creating more of that.
But some progressives (myself included) did something different. We expressed curiosity about what happened instead of fear or insecurity. We wondered how this happened. Then, getting an answer (what you’re reading here, dear reader) we decided to focus on what we want. In that focus, held no matter the evidence of the current reflection, we felt better. And in that better-feeling place, we emanate a more positive vibration.
That positive vibration must create a reflection in our lives consistent with that emanation. And it doesn’t matter that Trump won. But any progressive trying to do this who believes Trump’s victory does matter has the same problem progressives focusing on what’s not wanted have: they’re creating a reality for themselves that includes Trump controlling their life experience.
So the good news is, out of a negative experience, we know what we want and what we don’t. Line up with what we want and we will eventually get what we are lined up with. This is how the Universe works, so it MUST BE.
More and more GOP
A lot of progressives worry about other people. They worry about the poor. Some worry about LGBTQ people or other “disadvantaged” people such as BiPOC folks. The problem with that worry is, it doesn’t help.
If everything you just read is accurate (and it is) then those beliefs about those people create a reality for those believers in which those people are disadvantaged. If progressives really want to help others, their best bet is think the most empowering, positive and loving thoughts they can about everyone. Including their enemies (the GOP).
Because the hate or fear or worry progressives hold does nothing but disadvantage the very progressives holding such views. That holds doubly true for hate. Hating conservatives doesn’t make conservatives go away. Have you noticed? They haven’t gone anywhere. Indeed, we could say the conservative movement has grown, become meaner and more effective. Thanks progressives!
Maybe it’s time we progressives take a different approach. One that nearly every spiritual leader suggests: love your enemies as yourself. I know that the more progressives that do that, the more those progressives’ lives will improve. But those progressives can’t do anything to help another progressive’s life improve. Remember, we all create our own reality. Each progressive must do it for themselves. And many aren’t ready to do that.
No worry. We’re all eternal. And the world will keep reflecting back to such people a progressively awful life, until they surrender to the only power they have: the power of their Broader Perspective. And when they do, they’ll find everything they want is there.
TL;DR: The author argues for being selfish as the way to create a happy life for everyone. They share a client’s experience in creating happiness to illustrate and support his argument.
Let’s talk about relationships. There’s a lot to talk about here. Mainly because humans feel relationships are one of the most, if not the most, important things. After all, we are told, we need relationships to be happy. Everything we do, need and want, it seems, comes through relationships. It is relationships with others that create community. Such relationships also create safety, belonging and a whole lot more.
And, if we’re honest with ourselves, relationships also offer the worst in humanity. Relationships with others are the framework through which some of humanity’s worst traits surface. Greed, conflict, psychopathy and violence all would be meaningless were it not for relationships.
So relationships aren’t all rainbows and butterflies, as the saying goes. We all know this. Just ask Israelis and the Palestinians. Relationships can suck. And yet, a lot about what we seem to be (human) seems to compel us toward relationships. Especially relationships with other humans.
There’s a far more satisfying and powerful relationship, however, one through which everything we want comes. It’s so all-encompassing, we literally can’t survive without it. And when we prioritize that relationship above all else, we can live our wildest dreams.
That relationship is what I’m writing about today.
Let’s dive in.
Over all else
The relationship I’m referring to has nothing to do with a god, especially the Christian god or Jesus. But this relationship does tap into the power Christians ascribe to their god.
The trouble with this relationship is, it’s as plain as the nose on our faces, and yet, we invariably prioritize other relationships ahead of it. And that out-of-whack prioritization creates all the troubles we have in other relationships. That’s because that which we could enjoy a relationship with wants our undivided attention. When we put our attention there, un-dividedly, everything else in life flows easily.
What relationship could I possibly be referring to?
The relationship with ourselves.
That’s right, there’s no better, no more powerful relationship than the relationship with ourselves. The reason why is because everything we see “out there” in the world springs from this relationship. So when we get this relationship where it should be – as our number one priority – then everything “out there” falls in line.
It doesn’t happen in an instant. That would be magic and magic isn’t a thing. But when a person prioritizes themselves over all else, then gradually, all else reflects the improvement inherent in prioritizing a relationship with themselves over all else!
Selfishness: a virtue
That seems like circular logic, but, as I’ve written before, the Universe and All That Is functions in a circular logic way. All That Is exists to joyfully know itself. The paradox of that is, the more it seeks to know itself, the more of itself it creates. This process makes All That Is – and you and me – eternal. So the more All That Is seeks to know itself, it creates more of itself to know. That’s the glorious circular process often described in ancient teachings.
Now, some might argue that prioritizing one’s self over others leads to selfishness. I completely agree. But I know selfishness is not bad. In fact, it’s the best way to be – oriented solely to self. Because when one lives that way, they discover everything else, including other people, are able to take care of themselves, leaving the person free to be, enjoy and lavish their life.
Indeed, when we put ourself first in all things, we stop trying to change circumstances over which we have no control. Letting go of such tasks feels better and better. And when we feel better, the world around us reflects that better mood back to us. It reflects it in ever-improving life experiences.
So, really, we have control of all of our experience because experience reflects back to us our inner state. And when we prioritize our inner state – our relationship with ourselves – then our life experiences reflect that improved inner state.
We also emanate love and other higher emotions. That’s because when we seek to know ourselves, which is aligned with what the Universe does always, we can’t help but feel the eternal joy that is Universal consciousness.
Put it to the test
That previous section may sound like a bunch of “New Age” hooey. But when practiced, over time, it proves accurate. Abraham says “Words don’t teach. Life experience does”. That means I can write forever about how powerful what you’re reading is. But nothing compares to evidence produced by your lived experience.
So if you’re having trouble believing this stuff, I suggest you prove it to yourself. Become the evidence you wish to see, as Eckart Tolle puts it.
So how do we prioritize the relationship with ourselves?It doesn’t seem easy when the entire outside world encourages prioritizing others over ourselves. So it takes practice. It helps to know that a “self” exists in us worthy of our undivided attention. That “self” is the “god in human form” I write about in this blog. Discovering its existence is easy.
The best way to do that is by testing Positively Focused premises, which are summed up in the phrase “you create your reality”. As a person tests these premises, they create or manifest, experiences, people and things, that come in surprising, seemingly coincidental ways.
But when so many of such manifestations happen over and over, the person must acknowledge something other than “coincidence” is at work. That acknowledgement is just like acknowledging there is a self worthy of having a relationship with. Paradoxically, the person testing these premises, once they start seeing things happen, will want more things to happen. As more happens, they also get more bold: they want bigger things to happen.
As their desires grow in scale or magnitude, their trust grows. Their trust in themselves and in this self they are building a relationship with.
Betrayal births bitterness
Growing that relationship brings a necessary letting go of beliefs keeping us all prioritizing others over ourselves. As we let go of them, we might have to face hard-seeming choices. Sometimes that looks like cutting off certain people, including family members. Sometimes it looks like making pretty sweeping career changes.
For example, a client recently faced having to cut off her daughter. Her daughter, the epitome of a hellion, raked the client over all kinds of emotional coals throughout their 20-year relationship. The client believed she had to be there for her daughter, despite the poor treatment, because that’s “what parents should do”.
Little did she know she created the belief “that’s what parents should do” after her parents did something the client considered unconscionable.
Throughout her youth, her parents promised her they’d save for and pay for her college. But when the client was 16, the parents reneged on their promise. The client had to pay her own way. Because of this she felt her parents betrayed her. She bitterly resented their decision and that bitterness festered within her.
Prioritizing ourselves sometimes requires hard-seeming choices. (Photo by Courtney Kammers on Unsplash)
An angel disguised as a hellion
The betrayal was personal for her. So, when she had a child out of wedlock, something she didn’t want in the first place, the client swore to “make things right” by not doing to her daughter what her parents did to her.
The problem with all of that is the Universe has an amusing way of showing us all how such beliefs aren’t in our best interest. In the clients case, the Universe gave her a hellion. And boy, did this young person torture my client in so many ways!
She was making the client miserable. Little did the client realize, her daughter was an angel the client sent herself. The angel’s mission: to teach the client she has everything she needs within her, to stop blaming her parents, and to put herself first.
After weeks of learning to prioritize herself through the Positively Focused Way, the client, after one particularly harrowing conversation with her daughter, decided to put herself first. She cut her daughter off.
The relief she felt was immediate. And, as days went by, her relief grew.
Doubling down
Thirty days in, she was feeling great. But then, her old created reality, born of her belief “that’s what parents should do” reasserted itself. Her daughter reached out. The client felt pulled by her belief to reconnect. Which is what she did. This is not unusual.
Typically, when this kind of thing happens, a client will have an epiphany making their life much better. But then, old belief momentum draws them back into their old way of being, the way of being they left behind. This dynamic always shows the client why they would have been better off not letting that happen.
But there’s no way clients can get it wrong. For these kinds of “set backs” actually amplify their commitment to put themselves first. Which is exactly what happened with this client.
That reconnection was horrible. And it reminded the client what had been absent for 30 days. It also put those past 30 days of relief, peace and ease in proper perspective. She wanted more of that. So she doubled down on cutting her daughter off.
The way to relief
Two weeks after her recommitment her husband said something remarkable over dinner.
“You seem really happy,” the client said her husband said. The client told her husband she did feel happy, happier than she had in decades. The husband credited that return to happiness to his wife cutting her daughter off. But the client knew it was primarily because she was putting herself first and that caused her to make a choice she otherwise would not have been able to do.
A week later, her husband once again noticed.
“It’s so good seeing you so happy,” he said. The client replied that she was returning to the self she knew before her daughter “happened”.
Now, it’s not that the client dislikes her daughter. She loves her and wants the best for her. But she realizes that, to be happy, she must put herself first. And when she does that, she thrives. And as she thrives, eventually, so will her daughter. That must happen because the client’s experience and everything in it, including her daughter, reflects back to her her inner state. Her daughter’s behavior was reflecting turmoil within the client. Turmoil born of expecting her parents to have put her first, when, obviously, they couldn’t.
Their decision not to pay for their child’s college was the right thing: they had to put themselves first. The client was making them wrong for doing what they knew was right. And so, the Universe, through her daughter, was showing the client the way to relief.
It’s all choice
And that’s the thing about realizing what comes from putting ourselves first. We realize no one is responsible for our happiness but us. And, no one can make us happy but us. Any other happiness source is fleeting, capricious and fickle. As such, such happiness sources are not in our best interest to put before the one relationship that really matters.
Meanwhile, as I mentioned before, everything in our experience improves when we do this. And so, the client’s daughter’s life must also improve, as she learns what her mother did: That she must put herself first and stop relying on her mother for her happiness…or anything else, including tuition, food and rent.
Relationships, from the Positively Focused Practice perspective, are not about people coming together, planning together, working out problems, coming up with solutions together, compromising, and investing in and extracting from each other what they need, all while claiming to love one another. Rather, each person is 100 percent responsible as a creator for creating the best version of their life and any relationship for THEMSELVES.
When they do that, the whole world improves, but only for that person. In the meantime, those choosing a different life way fade out of that person’s experience. Then those reflecting the person’s choice show up as reflections of that made choice.
This explains why so much variety in life experience exists. It’s not luck. Nor is it fate. What it is is people choosing, either deliberately or not, then the world reflecting the nature of that choice.
It’s all about unconditional love
This means, first cultivating a strong relationship with one’s self is paramount. When that happens, life reflects back to the person only the best things in life, because that’s just what happens when one puts themselves first.
Then, and only then, can a person create better versions of life AND better versions of people in their lives. They create versions of people by coming into the presence of another with their relationship with themselves so secure, that that other person has no choice but to reflect back to the creator a version of them matching what’s going on in the creator.
And when the creator achieves that, sees the person exhibiting the version of themselves the creator envisioned, and then revels in that, the manifestation of evidence of their creation, then that person being created feels that reveling as unconditional love for them. And that changes that person irreparably.
That’s why selfishness is so important. It can literally change human relationships. It does that through love, which is what ourselves have in abundance for us.
And that’s how we can influence others in the best way. “Influence” happens whether we know we’re doing it or not. Unfortunately, for most of us, we’re using that influence by recreating versions of people we don’t like, by complaining about their behavior, wishing they were someone that they’re not, or complaining in general.
Meanwhile the one relationship that empowers us to have a different experience of all we experience awaits us. That relationship is all unconditional love. And when we prioritize that relationship, we become that: Unconditional love.
TL;DR: The author shares an example of a client who created so much evidence “Wishful Thinking” works, the client moved into greater trust and belief that “you create your reality” is accurate. The author then asserts everyone can experience their Charmed Life: a life where they create any experience they want, through the Positively Focused Way.
Every time a client texts me with wonderful manifestation results, I delight in the receipt. That’s because I know when they send me such messages, they’re having the time of their lives. It’s also delightful because their manifestations amplify my own trust in this “you create your reality” business, aka (by some) “Wishful Thinking”.
When some people use that “Wishful Thinking” moniker, they’re being pejorative. They don’t believe this “you create your reality” business is real. They believe that because this “you create your reality” business is working for them. It’s just reflecting back to them the manifestation of their belief: that this “you create your reality” business doesn’t work, is pseudoscience or new age quackery.
The jokes on them though because this “you create your reality” business is working, just like it does for me and all my clients. I love that!
But I love more when clients text me with their wonder. That’s what I’m writing about today.
Beliefs defending themselves
This past week a client finds himself as wonder-filled as I am. Except, he’s finding himself so dumbfounded by his manifestation results, he sometimes slips into disbelief.
I love when that happens too because it means that client finds himself in a Belief Confrontation. A Belief Confrontation is when All That Is shows us something at odds with our beliefs. When that happens, the juxtaposition of our belief, and the reality we’re experiencing at that moment, is so jarring, our belief “defends” itself.
Our belief doesn’t put up its dukes and get into a fist-fight with the reality. It’s not human after all. But the energy and momentum comprising our belief is strong. And that strong momentum, when confronted with another momentum of energy or vibration, experiences a kind of polarity push. Kind of like when you try putting two magnets together and they resist one another.
When that polarity push happens in a human, the human feels an emotion. Typically the emotion is negative. That negative emotion comes on instantaneously and can feel so strong it can compel the human into a psychologically defensive stance. They’ll resist that which doesn’t accord with their beliefs. Or they might willfully ignore it.
Our civilization is full of examples illustrating this process underway. And it’s underway all the time, everywhere.
It really works
After clients get some of the Positively Focused Way practice under their belt, force accompanying Belief Confrontations ease, allowing the client to feel the force without it taking them over. That’s what happened with this client. He deserves some praise because he’s significantly soothed his Belief Confrontations around the fact that he’s in the driver’s seat of his life, no one else, and that he can create any life he wants.
So when he texted me, he briefly expressed some disbelief, but followed that up with a string of evidence showing this “you create your reality” business works. And that balance — between the brief disbelief and the litany of evidence — amplified within him his growing momentum aligning with the belief that “this “you create your reality” business really works!”
Here’s what he texted me:
A client amplifying his belief in this “you create your reality” business by sharing his powerful results.
There’s no evidence proving this “you create your reality” business doesn’t work. Even for those who think it doesn’t work, it’s working. Again, it’s working by showing those people a reality in which their belief “‘you create your reality business’ doesn’t work”, doesn’t work. Because that’s what they believe!
But for those willing to soften that belief, those people’s worlds will increasingly show them that this “you create your reality” business does work. And as that evidence grows, the person will come into their own power. The power they knew they had when they first incarnated as human.
The Charmed Life
We all came here in our human experiences to enjoy our creative power. We all are incipient gods becoming more in a framework we create as a part of the consciousness of All That Is. That sure sounds like a circular statement. But that’s only because All That Is is circular in its awareness and purpose.
All That Is is all about one thing: knowing itself through expanding its awareness of itself. That’s its purpose. And it joyfully prosecutes that purpose. We are physical expressions of All That Is seeking to expand its self-awareness. As such, we too can joyfully create our experiences as we move through our human lives.
We don’t have a choice about the expansion or the experience. But we do have a choice in how that experience happens, what’s included in it and what’s not, and how much we enjoy that experience. That’s our innate gift we give ourselves.
And when we choose to deliberately create experiences which bring us joy, then our human experience just gets better and better. Just as my clients are seeing in their lives…and I’m seeing in mine. It’s the Charmed Life. And it’s available to everyone.
TL;DR: The author offers a life example proving his mastery of a key skill for creating reality through thought alone. Their experience as well as their clients’ experiences, they say, show how processes they advocate for can create the best life possible.
An enjoyable manifestation involving another person totally turned me on recently. It happened about two weeks ago. What happened proves I’m on the way to great financial fortune.
It’s proof because the only thing standing between us and having a lot of money is our beliefs. After all, a lot of people enjoy wealth. And though it seems many of those people became wealthy by the working hard, nose-to-the-grindstone approach, many others got their wealth easily.
They won it in a lottery, or through gambling. Or they inherited it. Maybe they invested in the right market opportunity at the perfect time. Or, they happened to take a job with stock options, where those stock options gained immense value over time.
The point is, while most would argue it takes hard work to make a lot of money, something other than hard work is responsible for that result. So many are doing it in different ways, with some making a lot of money with no effort, the common denominator certainly can’t be “hard work”.
Of course, I know that common denominator is vibrational focus. We create our reality. And what people call “wishful thinking” is what lines people up with lots of money. Nothing else is more important.
That’s why it’s so important people understand this. For there are lots of people working hard and making hardly ANY money let alone lots of it.
Today, I’m writing about a key skill needed to create lots of money. Let’s take a look at that skill. But first, a little more background.
It’s simple, but not easy
When I write “lining up” I’m referring to specific processes which make a person a match to lots of money. They’re the same processes for making one’s self a match to anything. Whether it’s relationships, opportunity or money, the processes are all about tuning one’s vibration to the frequency that attracts what it is one wants in their experience.
These processes are simple, but their purpose – soothing resistance – is not easy. It’s not easy because soothing resistance means stopping vibrational momentum that’s matching us to conditions we don’t want, or that are incompatible with what we do want.
It’s momentum that catalyzes vibration into physical reality. Momentum is, therefore, powerful. Once it gets underway, stopping it is impossible. Continued focus will always amplify the momentum until that which is focused on becomes real. Even if we try to not focus on it, by virtue of defining what we’re doing by the momentum “not focus on the momentum” we are focusing on it and thus amplifying it. Same goes with resisting momentum. It’s why the phrase “what you resist, persists” exists. Any focus on momentum amplifies it.
That’s why we’re not really talking about stopping momentum but soothing it.
We soothe it by focusing on something other than the momentum we’ve created. And that’s not always easy. Especially if we have a lot of momentum, which all of us do on some subjects. That’s why we’re surrounded by a physical reality. It’s momentum making thoughts “real”.

Belief confrontations and their benefit
When we soothe momentum, life will show us where we have beliefs and their associated momentum in other areas, areas we also must soothe. That’s right, just because we start soothing our beliefs about money doesn’t mean we’re making progress, even though we are. We must also soothe all the other beliefs contributing to momentum which blocks money from coming.
For example, a black person in the United States likely has beliefs which block their being a match to lots of money. Believing in racism, for example, does that. So does, believe it or not, believing in “Black Lives Matter.” I’ll write a post one day about black people and resistance. But for now, know that any belief which causes us to believe something outside of us has more power than we do will keep us from being a match to what we want, including lots of money.
And by lots of money I mean Fuck You money. I mean hundreds of millions to billions of dollars.
Now, if you’re like some folks, the idea called “billionaire” makes them squirm. And that’s because when they think about such people, they experience belief confrontations. Belief confrontations happen when a person has very strong beliefs and life throws at them experiences at odds with that momentum. The juxtaposition of those two — the experience and the belief — is what has the person say things like “there should be no billionaires” or “kill billionaires”. It’s what moves people to spray paint billionaire-owned corporate jets and super yachts.
Their belief confrontations are so strong they’re moved to action. But that action is insignificant in the extreme. Especially with regard to the billionaire. Those people’s lives are hardly scratched by such actions. Such actions do, however, amplify momentum in the actors thus making them even less a match to that much money.
Desires are there to be fulfilled
This explains why life throws our way experiences that can seem “out of the blue”. They’re actually “in” the blue. It’s life showing us what stands between us and what we want: our beliefs that aren’t matches to our desires.
We all have desires. Many of our biggest ones we kick to the curb in our desperation to feel good. We can’t enjoy life if we have desires we believe we can’t fulfill.
For example, a lot of people will say they don’t want millions of dollars. They’ll point to disadvantages of having all that money. Or they’ll talk about the immorality of that much money. But many of those people also play the lottery. It’s my guess that if someone offered them millions of dollars with no strings attached, they’d accept the offer!
But their beliefs running counter to having that happen are so strong and the belief confrontation so uncomfortable, rather than soothing their resistance, they instead, make their desire immoral, or wrong or they justify not having their desire as a virtue.
But all desires are born within us to be fulfilled! The only thing standing between us and fulfilled versions of our desires are our beliefs. That’s why the Universe reflects our beliefs back to us: so we can do something about them and become matches to our desires.
Which brings me elegantly back to what happened and the key skill needed to actualize creating huge amounts of money from nothing but desire.
A marvelous rendezvous
Whenever I get a new client, I take myself out as a celebration of that client. Two weeks ago, I took myself to breakfast. Prior to heading out, I pre-paved the outing, meaning, I set an intention in a specific way so that I amplified the probable future I desired over all other probable futures.
I arrived at the restaurant, but there was a long line. No matter, I planned to eat at the bar, so I got a seat immediately. To my right, two stools over, sat a woman. She was near-finished with her breakfast.
I ordered and the woman to my right asked how I was.
“Fabulous!” I said.
“Great!” She said.
“Are you saying it’s great I’m fabulous,” I asked. “Or is your day going great?”
“Both!” She laughed.
That began a two hour conversation that extended to a day-long friends date the next day, then lunch the day after.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
It so happens Sarah is a “dream worker”. She works with people to help them better interpret their dreams. Our conversation, which was MARVELOUS, was about all kinds of things we had in common. Particularly our understanding of how the Universe works.
Responding to my reflection
At one point, while still at the breakfast place, I told Sarah that even though I love working with my clients, I would prefer to have all my days totally free. And so I was intending to create a life where I enjoy freedom from trading time for money.
She thought a moment, started to say something then paused, which I appreciated because I knew she knew she was talking to someone who needs no guidance. Her doing that was remarkable. It showed she possessed an awareness few have. I enjoyed seeing that in her.
Then she said “I know you know this, but you could create a reality where all the things you need are covered, like your rent and food, are just taken care of for you. Why do you need to focus on money?”
No desire is bad or wrong, including a desire for money. (Photo by Rob on Unsplash)
When she asked that question, I thought for just a moment about whether to share what I was feeling at that moment. Like Sarah, I’m quite aware what’s happening in me at any given moment. At that moment, I wondered what will happen when I share what I was about to.
So I said “I appreciate you saying that because right this moment you are the Universe reflecting back to me that I still have resistance about money in my vibration. It’s very subtle, but it’s obviously still there and I know this because you said what you said.”
See what I did there?
It’s all reflection
I could have resisted her expression. I could have responded by defending my desire. But I didn’t.
Instead, responding this way when someone says something to us is critical as we line up with what we’re wanting. Especially if what we want is present in our awareness at the moment the person’s speaking. My clients struggle with this, so I don’t expect you, dear reader, to get it either: everyone in our experience are reflections of our beliefs. Beliefs about all kinds of subjects. Other people are not actually in our reality. What we interact with are versions of those people, versions of those people we hold in ourselves, constructed by our beliefs about that person.
So when those people speak to us, how they say what they say and what they say are reflecting back to us our own beliefs. This is always the case, but some cases are more obvious than others. With practice, this idea that people in our experience are not real becomes obvious. And even though my clients struggle with this, they are proving to themselves how accurate this is.
Here’s why this is important: We can’t line up if we’re oblivious about beliefs we have blocking what we want. And if we react to the universe showing us what those beliefs are, by getting defensive or otherwise not acknowledging what’s happening, then we just delay our lining up. Resisting the reflection adds more resistance!
The Universe loves me
Recognizing what physical reality is telling us as a reflection therefore is a crucial skill. So is responding correctly when it does that. In this case the Universe was telling me through Sarah I still have resistance on the subject of money. Her words were exactly as I saw them: reflections of my thoughts. So I went with the reflection and expressed appreciation.
When I did, Sarah gave me a big smile and said “I love you so much!” The words burst out of her as though she was not expecting to say that. I know that expression wasn’t about her actually loving me. Instead, she was acknowledging, as an emissary of the Universe, that my statement was so unconventional but totally in alignment with what she and I and the Universe know about how the Universe works. Her reflex to say she loved me was another reflection of my thoughts: my Broader Perspective appreciating that I have mastered this crucial skill.
So we don’t need to be in the dark about what’s happening with our vibration. If we’re tuned in, we can see all kinds of indicators showing us where we are vis-a-vis our desires. They show up in how animals respond to us. People reflect it back to us. Events also reveal to us what’s happening in us.
All the while the Universe lovingly guides us towards greater and greater alignment. For many, that can take lifetimes. But for some, it can happen in a single lifetime.
The charmed life unfolds
After that mystical exchange, I thought to myself how appreciative I was to be able to do what I’m able to do. I’ve significantly soothed a lot of negative thoughts and beliefs I once had about money. And I’m enjoying faster and faster momentum growing within me telling me I’m on the way to the large amount of money I’ve already created.
That’s right, I’ve already created it. That pile of money assembles even as I write this, even as I continue lining up with it, so that, in divine timing, I will rendezvous with it, it with me and in that joyous rendezvous come into the fullness of that manifestation.
This trajectory started with me soothing a lot of beliefs I once had about “new age mumbo jumbo”. It’s true: I once had one foot in two different camps. One camp wanted to believe this “you create your reality business” was real. The other camp totally disbelieved all of it.
These days, however, I’ve created so much evidence that this business is real. And I’ve amplified my belief into knowing by writing about it here in this blog, following the processes I wrote about in the beginning of this story, and creating an income for myself through sharing what I know with clients. Those clients came to me in surprising and delightful ways. Just like everything else I’ve manifested up to now.
Indeed, I’ve mastered the process of deliberate creation. Skills needed to create anything I desire, including large amounts of money from nothing but thought are now mine. As a result, I’ve discovered a rare form of freedom.
Freedom as the basis for the life of my dreams. The Charmed Life.
TL;DR: The author asserts that while science has benefitted mankind, it is directly influenced by eternal, conscious spiritual energy underlying the human condition. They discuss this assertion by examining modern research confirming that physical disease stems from thoughts and beliefs.
Looks like science is finally catching up to spirituality.
I know, a lot of readers think science is the pinnacle of knowledge for humankind, the best way for humanity to meet the future. If you believe that, then run with it!
But I know different.
It’s spirituality that has gotten humankind to where it is. Not science. Or rather, it’s that spirituality deeply informs scientific “discoveries”. In the future, I’m going to write more about how science is really not all that clear about what’s happening in physical reality, why that is, and how spirituality directly influences science.
But today, I want to offer this really stunning (to me) piece of evidence showing why science is just learning what Spiritualists have known for eons. It has to do with the connection between thoughts people have early in life and how those thoughts literally create debilitating and deadly illnesses later in life.
Let’s get to it.
Thoughts and beliefs matter
Spiritualists such as myself have known forever that our thoughts and beliefs are the source of physical reality. Physical reality includes our physical bodies. Therefore, our physical bodies spring from thoughts we think and beliefs we hold.
Thoughts are powerful. They’re so powerful, they can create any reality we want. But consciousness is more powerful than thought. It also enjoys a quality thoughts do not: consciousness is free. It can literally do, be or have whatever it can conceive.
Together, thoughts, beliefs and consciousness represent an awesome combination. This freedom and power enable a consciousness to also create things it does not want. Again, the spiritual community has known this since the beginning. We know, for example, that humans create every experience in their lives, including debilitating disease.
That’s why spiritual teachers constantly stress the importance of being conscious of one’s thoughts and beliefs. It’s also why we encourage people not to allow others’ thoughts and beliefs into one’s consciousness, unless those thoughts and beliefs are aligned with one’s desires.
Thoughts and beliefs are building blocks of everything we experience. Now it seems some corners of science are beginning to agree. One of those corners is the body of research known as “Adverse Childhood Experiences” (ACEs).
What are ACEs?
An ACE is an exposure to one or more family-of-origin condition which sociologically can be generalized as negative. Researchers put them in three categories: Abuse, neglect and household disfunction:
Categories in which ACEs are organized.
According to ACEs research these events pose an extreme risk to childhood development, and long-term adult health. As Wikipedia describes it: “Scientific evidence is mounting that such adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a profound long-term effect on health. Research shows that exposure to abuse and to serious forms of family dysfunction in the childhood family environment are likely to activate the stress response, thus potentially disrupting the developing nervous, immune, and metabolic systems of children.[2][3][4] ACEs are associated with lifelong physical and mental health problems that emerge in adolescence and persist into adulthood,[5] including cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, autoimmune diseases, substance abuse, and depression.[6][7][8]“
The “stress response” identified in the research causing “disruption” is important. That’s because it’s not the stress response that creates the disruption.
But science’s focus on stress response as the cause isn’t surprising. Science rests all its “discoveries” on the belief that an objective reality exists. There’s no such thing as an objective reality though. Reality, all of it, springs from within consciousness. It therefore is subjective, not objective.
Humans invented and practice science. “Human” is an experience of consciousness. Because of that, science too, is an experience of consciousness. Science therefore is subject to conscious focus, making all it researches subject to the focus consciousness brings to it.
I’m going to get back to all this in a moment because it explains why it’s taking so long for science to understand what spiritualists have known for eons. But for now, let’s look at this “stress response” in more detail.
What is stress?
Stress isn’t an emotion. Stress is, however, a physical state arising from an emotional experience. It (stress) shows up in the body when a person interprets an experience (a stressor) as physically or psychologically threatening or challenging. “Interprets” is an act of thinking. So we can say that when one thinks something is challenging or threatening, then they will feel the physical effect in the body called “stress”.
We know not everyone experiences stressors similarly. One person’s stressor can be another’s “normal” or even their happy place. The difference lies in how each person interprets or thinks about the experience.
So stress results from thinking about the experience, not the experience itself. Indeed, research confirm this. From a Wikipedia article on stress (the underlined portion is ours):
“Stress is a non-specific response.[5] It is neutral, and what varies is the degree of response. It is all about the context of the individual and how they perceive the situation…A stressor is inherently neutral meaning that the same stressor can cause either distress or eustress. It is individual differences and responses that induce either distress or eustress.[8]
Stress then, is a physical manifestation. It is a physical reality showing up in the body. It manifests when a consciousness interprets – thinks about something – in a particular way: A thought happens and from that thought a manifestationresults: stress.
“Stress response” then, indicated as the cause of disruption when exposed to an ACE, is not the cause of the disruption. It is a response to the cause.
Another word we could use to describe “disruption” is “manifestation”. “Stress responses” don’t cause “manifestations”. Stress responses are manifestations. Disruptions, therefore, are further-evolved versions of the stress-response manifestation.
Let’s look at what I mean.
It’s circular logic but accurate
First there is energy. Energy is all there is. It is All That Is. You and I are vibrational energy. Energy comprises everything. And all that energy is aware, conscious and mobile. Energy, therefore is conscious, aware action.
Because it is action, it gives rise to vibration. When conscious energy focuses itself, the vibration it emits gives rise to a predecessor of thought. That predecessor I call thought form. It is not yet a thought. But the evolution or momentum of energy’s vibration, as that energy focuses itself, continues gaining momentum. When further evolved conscious energy, such as a human, perceives thought form, the focus on that form evolves the thought form further into what humans know as a “thought”.
If you dismissively think this is circular logic, then you’re dismissing the fundamental nature of All That Is. All That Is is circular in nature. It exists to become more. And it does that by knowing itself. That’s circular!
So when some people who read my stories dismissively accuse me of circular thinking or logic, they don’t realize they’re accurately describing what the Universe is all about. It’s circular in its basic foundation! So my thinking or logic accords with how All That Is actually works!
By the time conscious energy that has evolved itself through thought into a manifested form such as a human, when that human perceives thought, that thought is “perceived” through a process of attraction. By attraction, I simply mean “like attracts like” or an energetic resonance like two magnets attracting each other. Thoughts aligned with the energy perceiving the thoughts get drawn to the perceiving energy. When that happens, those thoughts become perceptible. Then momentum begins.
Reality is circular.
How thoughts create disease
That momentum will draw other energy like itself until the energy further expands or evolves. Spiritual people call the evolution of energy “manifestation”; thoughts become things. That happens through manifestation or the evolution of energy as I’ve described above.
So when a person interprets a stressor, they’re thinking. The person is an evolved – a manifested – form of energy in action. Their thinking process is nothing more than attraction in action. When the person interprets a stressor as a threat or challenge, that act of interpretation or thought begins a process of energetic evolution of action energy. The thought evolves from thought form, into thought then into a physical manifestation: stress in the body. Science and psychology call that physical manifestation the “stress response”.
As with all manifestation and focus, momentum ensues. The person focusing on a threat or challenge, by the nature of their focus, generates more energy action; momentum, in other words. That momentum, spurred by the person’s continued focus, must evolve, attract and become more. The “more” here is what researchers are calling “disruption.”
They’re using “disruption” because typically that describes an interruption of the normal processes of the body becoming more. As the body evolves or grows or matures more in line with focus given by the energy inhabiting the body (the personality or person), natural, positive processes of action/evolution take place. These positive processes are how a child’s body grows into an healthy adult one.
But when the person manifests, through their negative thinking, “stress” in their body, that stress interrupts those processes. The interruptions lead to disease. The person’s thoughts, therefore, are what produces disease not the disruption or the stress. Stress and disruption aren’t the cause. They are intermediary steps along the way. Which brings us elegantly, wonderfully, back to the ACEs.
ACE-Disease Correlation
Researchers realized in the mid-1990s stunning associations between these ACEs and nearly every chronic psychological and physical problem. To spiritualists, this is not a “discovery”. We’ve known that thoughts create reality since forever.
Yet these associations are worth noting. That’s because, even though every person is more spiritual than anything else, a remarkably large number discount their spiritual nature in practice, choosing instead to focus like science does: on an objective reality separate from themselves. One in which things can happen to them against their will, where luck is a thing, where “bad things happen to good people” and where “in every life a little rain must fall”.
ACEs researchers in Montana realized remarkable correlations between ACE exposure and disease of all kinds in both children and adults. For example:
Children with an ACE score of 1 are 19.6% more likely to develop a chronic condition requiring above routine amount or type of health care services, almost doubling to 36.1% with 2+ ACEs.
Children with an ACE score of 1 are 26.9% more likely to be overweight or obese, with minimal change to 26.7% with 2+ ACEs.
Adults with an ACE score of 4 or more are 1220% more likely to attempt suicide, 1003% more likely to use injected drugs, 460% more likely to have recent depression, and 390% more likely to have lung disease.
Adults with an ACE score of 2 or more are 400% more likely to consider themselves an ‘alcoholic.’
Finally, at least 5 of the top 10 leading causes of death are associated with ACEs.
What I see here are disempowering thoughts manifesting into mental and physical disease and death. I wrote “disempowering” on purpose. That’s because there’s another manifestation that happens before the stress response. We should look at that next.
We overlook important clues: our emotions
The action of thought turning to things includes a step we’ve ignored up to now. That step comes in between attracting a thought and the manifestation that thought evolves into. Every person is familiar with this intermediary step. Yet, they don’t realize how powerful and important that step is. We humans call that step “emotion”.
Every thought we think produces an emotion. That’s obvious for really strong thoughts, ones with a lot of momentum behind them. And yet every thought comes associated with an emotion.
Emotions tell us something critical. Ignoring that message is what contributes to creating “negative” manifestations including those which interrupt bodily evolution and create disease.
One of the most important message emotions offer is they tell us what manifestations we have in the works are going to be like when they become “reality”. The message couldn’t be clearer. Emotions that feel good tell us manifestations we have underway are aligned with what we’re wanting to experience. Emotions that don’t feel good tell us manifestations we’re creating are not aligned with what we’re wanting to experience.
What we want or don’t want is shaped by the collection of core values and intents as well as desires day-to-day experiences stimulate from within us. Our wants include every possible conception. From how we want to feel psychologically and physically, to the life we want to enjoy, and the death we prefer.
Our lack of connection to these emotional clues explains how most of us create terrible manifestations; ones we think we would never create for ourselves. And yet we do.
Let’s look at how and why.
Learning ourselves
No one, it seems, would create on purpose getting raped or dying in a terror attack as a manifestation. No one would choose to experience losing their job or ending up homeless or addicted to meth.
But if you look at what I’ve shared so far, you can see quite logically how people would end up in such situations. These things aren’t happening tothem. As hard as it may be to accept it, these experiences are springing from them. From the thoughts and beliefs they as a point of consciousness have allowed into themselves.
In other words, something in them attracts negative thoughts. It could be previous experiences in this life in which they’ve formed negative thoughts or beliefs. Perhaps it’s a thought or belief they’ve accepted from another. Or it could be a thought or belief they bring from a previous life. Yes, the energy incarnating as human is eternal. It has and will forever exist as it moves through progressive experiences (lives) as a way of knowing itself. Just like All That Is does.

Resonance between that “something” and the thought it attracts causes the attracted thought to bind into place. It joins in the individual’s vibrational mix. Momentum ensues from the binding. Then that thought will cause the person to take action, action that will rendezvous the person with a reality reflecting back to that person the vibrational mix inside them.
In this way, conscious energy incarnate as human learns what it has in its vibrational mix. So these reflections, what humans call physical reality, are how conscious energy knows itself.
Constant clues coming for our benefit
I laid out a detailed progression describing how a person ends up creating an experience whereby she is raped. So I won’t detail the progression again. There are an infinite number of ways a point of conscious can manifest any negative experience, including rape.
But there are as many ways a point of consciousness can manifest any positive experience too. And this is where the empowerment of what you’re reading comes in. It’s also why All That Is includes people like me, spiritualists, who are here constantly reminding people what they are.
We all create our reality. When people hear that, most immediately go to “victimhood” or “disempowerment”: “I didn’t create this thing I suffer from”, they say. They rarely go to “empowerment”: “Really? That means I can create ANYTHING! Show me how!”
Along the way to every manifestation, we constantly get clues about what we’re creating. Emotions are just one of those clues. What shows up is yet another. A person doesn’t go from being happy to getting raped. Along that path, they experience ever more intense clues giving them a heads up as to what’s coming, starting with emotion. Abraham makes it plain:
But if the person ignores the early clues, then they’ll keep coming, until the clues are so intense they can’t be ignored.
So now, with all this in your mind, let’s look at why science is so slow in discovering things like the direct connection between thoughts and physical disease.
The slow pace of science
Speaking of clues, the ACEs research gives us a lot of clues as to why it takes science so long to realize what spiritualists have known for eons. The first reason is obvious: science depends on an objective reality as the basis of the Universe. This is a complete distortion.
Reality is 100 percent subjective. A consensus reality exists, in which all consciousness agrees on some basic assumptions. But any individual consciousness can breach even those assumptions if their focus is strong enough. As such, no individual’s experience resembles another no matter how similar it physically appears. This is readily testable and, if the test is done correctly, over time, will produce convincing results for any individual.
From Wikipedia: The basic assumptions of science’s scientific method.
And that’s the problem with science and its inability to quickly get to what’s really happening in the Universe. It requires agreement. That’s a problem.
Since we’re all experiencing our own, separate realities, we can create any reality we desire and quickly. But because science and other methods have almost forced us to focus more on the consensus reality instead of our individual one, it can take a long time to manifest our desires. What’s more, many of those same methods, including science, make pronouncements totally out of whack with what’s really happening, by claiming some things impossible, that, actually, are not.
Anything the Universe inspires us to conceive can be our experience. THAT is a basic premise of the Universe. But if a person disbelieves the inspiration, or a body of knowledge says it’s impossible and the person believes that, then that person will not be able to go against their powerful focus. Their focus telling them it is impossible.
The power of focus limits or expands
And this is why science moves forward as though through molasses. Scientists believe in an objective reality. So the Universe presents that to them because they believe such a reality exists. Meanwhile, science believes that which is real must be repeatable by others and agreed to by those same others. So the Universe offers that as the criteria by which science proves its “discoveries”.
Meanwhile, laws science has “discovered” and banks on, by those laws, makes some things, in scientist’s, view impossible. Other interpretations or experiences they dismiss as pseudoscience or delusions or hallucinations. At best they consider them “unexplainable”.
All of this greatly slows down “discoveries” science makes. All the while, people like me are proving things to be much different than what science claims. I know, for example that thoughts become things. I know that children aren’t innocently born as blank slates. They come into the world as wise, eternal beings, here to explore themselves in this unique plane. And because they are eternal, they come into the world with a strong trajectory of past interpretations of past experiences; an eternal collection which shapes their values and intents.
Those intents include some things we could call “good” and some we would likely call “bad”. All of those intents are being worked through in collaboration and cooperation with every other point of consciousness human and non human. That collaboration is what comprises All That Is. It also comprises the world in which you and I seem to live.
And none of those things you or I don’t want to experience need be a part of our experience. But they will if we invite them. And we invite them through our focused thoughts.
This is a powerful, eternal being. Not a blank slate. (Photo by Alex Hockett)
Spirit-infused science
That’s why so many struggle in life. They don’t know what you just read. So they invite all kinds of things they don’t want, while doubling down on beliefs that encourage doing that. They think luck is real, including bad luck. They believe life is random and that bad things can happen to them against their will.
It’s why parents perpetuate Adverse Childhood Experiences to their children. Of course, children coming into those experiences are choosing those experiences, so no harm, no foul because there are no victims. And yet, the world we see with all its wars, criminality, pain and poverty reflects the total state of consciousness and the all-that-is-ness of All That Is.
And in all that, everything is, ultimately, good. If more people can get to that point – seeing all as good – then the world will truly be a better place. But for now, too many people are looking at the world and all the “bad” out there. And through that focus they feel bad about the world, not knowing that bad feeling tells them they are creating more of what they’re feeling bad about.
So this isn’t a story about the age-old fight between spirituality and science. What it is is an attempt to show that there is as valid a source of wisdom in spirituality as there is science. Indeed, I’d say there’s more value in spirituality.
Why?
Because all we experience is spiritual. Including the scientific method. After all, many scientific discoveries (all of them actually) come through dreams, ideations while showering or in similar situations where the mind is on auto-pilot. In other words, times when conciousness is given free rein to tap into All-That-Is-wisdom.
The future of gods
That process has allowed science to give us all kinds of “breakthroughs”. Science therefore is benefiting us. From an individual perspective, however, we each can move much faster towards a life we desire by casting off reliance on science and instead relying on our essential natures, which are literally infinitely more capable, powerful and expansive. Limitless really.
Doing so requires intense focus. That’s because we must release beliefs most of us hold which block that limitless capability. Everything is possible. And, that limitless possibility expresses itself best at the level of the individual. The individual possessing the knowledge spiritualists have known forever: that we are gods in human form. And everything is possible to those who know themselves as such.
The being who chooses to come into the world through families with many of these ACE conditions are no different. Imagine the powerful intentions such experiences spark in them. For when we know what we don’t want, we also know what we want. Any one of those people who line up with what they want, instead of what they don’t (the stress of experience born from the ACE) will, in rapid fashion, create astonishing worlds.
As it is, however, science and other research laden them with “trauma” and labels like PTSD and ADHD thereby fostering more momentum behind thoughts manifesting chronic mental and physical disease in youth and later in adulthood.
At some point I know scientists will realize their error as they did around homosexuality being a mental illness or sin, or that women and black people are inferior. When they do, we will be in a completely different world. Where science acknowledges the Source of all it knows: the spirit world.
We still have a ways to go before we get there though. And that’s ok.
