TL;DR: The author shares a client’s shift from skepticism to embodied knowing, showing how lived synchronicity replaces coincidence and confirms the Charmed Life as a natural result of alignment, trust, and deliberate co-creation.
There comes a point on the spiritual path where the word coincidence leaves our lexicon. We replace that word and the distortion it carries with certainty that everything happens on purpose. It’s a purpose that’s precise, one that follows our focus.
When life begins responding with precision, timing, and vibrational resonance, coincidence feels like an underpowered explanation. Something else is clearly at work. Those who arrive at this clarity recognize what’s actually happening. What’s actually happening is co-creation.
I see this happening again and again in my client work. They move into alignment, relax their struggle, and start trusting. Gradually, life responds with surprising elegance. Opportunities appear, encounters unfold with perfect timing. Situations resolve themselves without effort. What once felt random occurs as a certainty.
This is what I call the Charmed Life. In it everything is for us on purpose. Everything. Even things we might think we don’t want.
For over a decade, I’ve lived this way and spoken openly about it with clients. I share the joy, the peace, the meditative states, the multidimensional awareness, and the knowing I enjoy. My intention has never been to impress anyone. I share because I know what’s possible, and I want others to glimpse what awaits them as they create their own versions of what I enjoy.
Still, words can only go so far. Even the most beautifully described truth remains theoretical until life steps in and proves it. That’s where this story begins.
From Wanting to Believe to Knowing
The client whose experience I want to share had been working with me for quite some time. He wasn’t new to the framework. In fact, he was well into the advanced practice. And yet, he still doubted.
Each session in which I arrived joyful, energized, and grounded, in a deep sense of wellbeing, triggered that doubt. When I spoke openly about the richness of my life, talked about meditation experiences, dream states, and the feeling of merging with probable future versions of myself that felt expansive and free, this client balked quietly.
From his perspective, some of this sounded unbelievable. He wanted to believe me. He truly did. But belief without evidence can only stretch so far before practiced skepticism returns. Over time, he admitted—lovingly and with humor—that part of him wondered whether I was exaggerating, or worse, completely full of sh*t.
This client struggled with believing my experiences.
His skepticism made him human. We are conditioned to trust effort, struggle, and grit far more than ease. When someone claims their life feels orchestrated rather than fought for, suspicion feels reasonable. What changed everything for this client was his personal experience.
Abraham says, “Words don’t teach,” and they’re right. Language can point, but life is what convinces. Over time, this client’s life experience confirmed my own. Both subtle synchronicities and great big unfoldings birthed within him a growing sense that things were unfolding without his usual resistance. Each experience added another piece to what I call the basket of evidence. Eventually, that basket became heavy enough to trust.
When Life Confirms the Teaching
In a recent session, something shifted unmistakably. A small, ordinary event — a spill of cherries on the ground — led to a meaningful human connection with a familiar face. That interaction, simple as it sounds, carried the unmistakable signature of alignment for this client. It wasn’t the event itself that mattered, but what it represented: the client’s life responding. Many, many more such experiences filled his basket until he had no choice but to admit it: he had created for himself his Charmed Life.
At this point in the story, I invite you to listen directly to him. The clip below is from our session, starting where he begins describing what’s been unfolding in his life.
As you listen, notice his tone. Gratitude spills out of him as well as wonder. He speaks about peace, emotional fullness, and a sense that life no longer feels like something to survive or manage. On an energetic level, he describes a shift so profound that it reframed everything he thought was possible. Most strikingly, he admits that he finally gets it.
That moment is one of arrival, though not an ending. He hasn’t reached a final destination, because there is no such thing. We are eternal beings in constant expansion. Arrival, in this sense, simply means entering a new relationship with reality. It’s the moment where trust replaces effort and allowing replaces control. From here, manifestations don’t slow down. They accelerate, because resistance has dropped.
The Charmed Life Is Remembered, Not Earned
What changed for this client wasn’t the Universe. The Universe didn’t suddenly decide to favor him. What shifted was his willingness to trust the unfolding and lean into what felt good without needing proof first. Ironically, the proof followed immediately. As it always does.
This isn’t anything special. It’s just forgotten. Most people are focused on what they don’t want, often without realizing it. As a result, they create unintentionally. There’s nothing wrong with that. Every consciousness enters physical reality with different momentum, different desires, and different values to fulfill. Comparing one person’s experience with another just muddies the waters. What matters is remembering that life is meant to be joyful, expansive, and supportive.
When focus gently turns toward what feels better, reality responds. That response grows stronger with trust. Eventually, knowing replaces even trust. Life takes on a magical quality.
I love witnessing this shift in clients. I love knowing that even imperfect practice produces extraordinary results. This client didn’t meditate endlessly or follow every guideline with precision. He simply leaned in enough to allow life to show him the truth. The return on that small investment was enormous.
My confidence in this process comes from my own lived experience. I know the Charmed Life is real because I live it daily. Everything unfolds for me with ease, as it can for all of us. The path doesn’t require struggle, and it doesn’t need to take long. Along the way, it’s joyful, affirming, and deeply empowering.
If you want your version of this, reach out. I have space on my calendar.
TL;DR: The author reflects on a client’s mystical encounter with nature, revealing how direct communion beyond physical reality awakens deep worthiness, dissolves doubt, and invites a calmer, more trust-filled unfolding of life.
One of the things I love most about working with clients long term is witnessing the moment when curiosity turns into certainty. There’s no fanfare when it happens. Just a calm, unmistakable knowing that settles throughout my client’s experience. You can hear it in their voice. You can feel it in the way they tell their story.
This story you’re about to read is part of my Worthiness Wednesday video series from the Positively Focused YouTube Channel. It’s a series wherein I share client experiences through which they discover self-worth as more than a concept. Instead, they discover worthiness as an embodied realization. Because the truth is, worthiness doesn’t arrive through affirmation alone. It emerges naturally when you remember who — and what — you actually are.
That’s exactly what happened when my client KJ recently described a series of mystical experiences he’d been having while fully awake. There was wonder in his tone, yes — but there was also confidence, clarity, and zero defensiveness. He wasn’t questioning whether what he experienced was real. He knew it was.
And that knowing is everything.
When You’re Not Even Seen
One of KJ’s recent experiences happened during an ordinary walk. He found himself on a bridge near a dam, standing quietly while a woman approached from the other side. She passed him and apologized, saying she hadn’t seen him there. What struck KJ wasn’t the apology—it was the realization that she likely hadn’t seen him at all.
This wasn’t about invisibility in the comic-book sense. It was about vibrational non-overlap. Here two people, in two different realities, briefly intersected without fully sharing the same perceptual field. I’ve had experiences like this myself. I once found $40 laying on the ground while walking with someone who was genuinely stunned because they hadn’t seen the money there at all. We were on the same street. It was the same moment. But we were in completely different realities.
Physical reality isn’t singular. It’s consensus-based. When you shift your internal state, the version of reality you perceive—and that responds to you—shifts as well.
The most recent evidence of that accurate statement was KJ’s experience with a tree. That’s because the mystical nature of that experience communicated so much. It offered so much to him. And it confirmed for me, what I already know: that we are more than our physical bodies.
The Tree That Was Too Vast to Grasp
During another walk, he felt inspired to touch a tree’s trunk as he passed. When his hand made contact, something extraordinary happened. He suddenly perceived the tree for what it really was. Trees are more than natural objects. They’re vast—cosmic entities gracing us with a version of their reality in physical form.
From the tree’s perspective, KJ felt like a grain of dust, he said. He perceived the tree’s register of him as barely noticeable. Later, during meditation, the experience deepened. What arose wasn’t an image so much as an immensity. KJ perceived the tree at a scale of being so large that his mind couldn’t contain all of it.
KJ’s response to this experience reveals his status as a member of the Positively Focused advance client group. He didn’t try to analyze his experience. Nor did he claim mastery over it. He didn’t inflate his ego or assign himself a special role. Instead, he simply recognized that what he had touched was far bigger than his current framework for understanding.
That stability in the face of such an immense experience is a sign of real alignment.
Again, trees aren’t just discrete objects standing in soil. They are expressions of vibrational harmony that stretch far beyond what our eyes report. Nature isn’t separate from the spiritual realm—it’s one of its clearest doorways.
KJ’s experience showed him a scale of being so large that KJ’s mind simply couldn’t contain all of it.
Why Science Can’t See This—Yet
I want to be very clear here: science is extraordinary. Its tools have transformed our world in profound ways. Science, however, by design, measures effects. It doesn’t measure origins.
Physical reality is spiritual first. Consciousness precedes form. Until science becomes willing to integrate the subjective, experiential dimension of awareness, it will always be studying the shadow rather than the Source. Experiences like KJ’s exist upstream from where science operates. That explains why another client calls what he’s finding through the Positively Focused practice “undiscovered science”.
It’s also why experiences like these matter so deeply in the Positively Focused practice. They help confirm what the Positively Focused practice asserts; that we are eternal beings, much more than our physical bodies and existing in multiple dimensions simultaneously.
When you know you’re eternal, impatience dissolves. The pressure to hurry life along fades. You stop racing time and start cooperating with it. Getting what you want starts feeling less like forcing and more like allowing. Life unfolds incrementally, the way grass grows—quietly, steadily, inevitably.
I’ve seen this in my own life. As major manifestations come into form I can see the benefit of that “grass growing” state. Had everything arrived at once, it would have been overwhelming. The built-in pacing of physical reality exists so we can enjoy what we’re creating. But if we don’t know, like KJ is beginning to know, then that pacing can conjure impatience in us.
An Open Invitation
Worthiness emerges naturally when we realize life isn’t running out. We are not late, we are not behind. We are eternal. Not everyone is ready for experiences like KJ’s, and that’s perfectly okay.
We can’t force such experiences. They arise through gentle practices — meditation, dreamwork, presence — when the ego realizes it can allow our nervous system to let in data the ego deliberately blocks. It blocks those data so the being, the human, can focus on the necessities of navigating physical reality.
But when we come into alignment with the flow of life, which all my clients are learning how to do, then the ego softens. It begins allowing more of the data we can’t manage, because we have expanded our consciousness. That expansion happens by aligning with the Broader Perspective of what we are. Do that and experiences like KJ’s are natural byproducts. The byproducts of expansion.
And when they come, they don’t make us special. They make us certain.
TL;DR: Over four intense days, Marcus’s life reflected his vibrational focus with stunning precision. From social scrolls to sacred hugs, each event revealed the truth: life doesn’t punish us—it mirrors us, perfectly and compassionately.
Sometimes, life gives you experiences that are both memorable and multidimensional. Experiences where every moment, every encounter, and every emotional charge reveals exactly what you’re practicing vibrationally. And if you’re paying attention, it becomes the perfect mirror. That’s what happened for a client of mine — let’s call him Marcus — over the course of four days.
The contrast was rich. The orchestration was precise. Marcus’ expansion was unmistakable. And it all began with scrolling on social media.
The Algorithm That Read His Vibration
Marcus hadn’t planned on going deep. He was just passing time. But as he began scrolling through Instagram and Facebook, the algorithm tuned in — and it knew exactly what to deliver. Gaza. Israel. Racism. LGBTQ+ discrimination. Corruption. Division. Outrage.
His scrolling revealed more than political news — it was emotional architecture. Every post added another brick to the structure of fear, injustice, and helplessness Marcus didn’t realize he was building. Instead, he thought he was “staying informed.”
But his body told the truth: He was doomscrolling. He felt drained. His nervous system became frayed. The lightness he normally carried dimmed. He couldn’t see it yet, but he saturated his vibrational field — and life was preparing to reflect it all back.
The Party, the Couple, and the Hug That Meant Everything
Later that day, Marcus went to a pumpkin carving party. The party represented something simple, something creative. Marcus thought he’d have fun. And he did. But he also met himself.
Two men — a gay couple — were there. One white, one Lebanese. The Lebanese partner, whose name happened to be Seth, shared his deep uneasiness living in the U.S. in the current climate. As a gay man of Middle Eastern descent, he didn’t feel safe — not just emotionally, but existentially.
Marcus listened with full presence. Their conversation was honest, layered, and emotionally resonant. And when it ended, they hugged. Seth and his partner then left the party.
But a moment later, Seth returned. He asked Marcus for another hug. Something in the first hug wasn’t finished. So they hugged again — slower this time. More grounded. More knowing. That hug represented more than affection. It was recognition, a soul-level confirmation that Marcus had called in this encounter vibrationally. He called it in so he could see the reflection embodied in his reality. Seth was a living reflection of the very themes Marcus had been engaging with online. But instead of outrage, Marcus met it with love.
This was the first mirror. And it was beautiful.
The Friend That Didn’t Show, and the Feeling That Did
After the party, Marcus got in his car. There he noticed for the first time several texts from his wife. She was worried where he was. When Marcus returned home, she didn’t conceal how she felt. She had a friend who planned to visit, but cancelled at the last minute. So Marcus’ wife was left alone.
Marcus returning home after he said he would, left his wife worried, but also, she excluded. At first, Marcus was confused. He hadn’t intentionally excluded her. They hadn’t made plans after all. But the deeper truth was this: his wife was reflecting Marcus’ beliefs precisely.
Marcus had spent the day consuming content about marginalized people. People being left out of systems, rights, safety, belonging. And now his wife — someone he adores — was expressing that very vibration in real time.
Good thing Marcus caught it. He didn’t defend himself or spiral. He opened. He withdrew from the story — not from her, but from the version of himself who believed he had done something wrong. And in that stillness, something shifted.
The Open Mic and the Rule That No One Followed
The next night, Marcus attended a local open mic. He brought his instrument and signed up early. But he never got to play.
The people who did perform didn’t follow the house rules. They didn’t respect the list or share the space. These people weren’t being malicious, instead they followed their passions and got caught up in the excitement. At first glance, this might seem like bad luck. But vibrationally, it was exact. Following their passions indulgently offered yet another reflection of Marcus’ inner momentum.
They reflected the very societal disorder Marcus had been digesting through his feeds — people not following the rules, not being inclusive, not leaving space for others. The macro showed up in the micro.
It was yet another gift reality shone on Marcus. Life as mirror never misses. It’s always precise.
Your life experience is the same. Life for all of us is a mirror. It’s also a gift. It faithfully reflects our inner state. Why does it do that? So we can know ourselves better. So we can tune into the Source of our life experience: our inner reality. Do something constructive about that inner reality and the mirror — our life experience — must reflect that constructive improvement.
That’s the result all my clients receive once they get good at interpreting what they see in their mirrors.
Marcus had more in store given the momentum he created doomscrolling. Let’s get back to his story.
The Pregnant Woman and the Gentle Realignment
After all this, Marcus did something subtle but powerful. He didn’t push through. He didn’t collapse. Instead, as he sat at the bar, he paused. He meditated inconspicuously — lightly, sincerely. He let go of fixing. He turned toward better-feeling thoughts.
And the next day, his world began responding differently. A miscommunication with his wife resolved into softness and mutual understanding. Arriving at work, he shared an intimate moment with a pregnant coworker. He offered reassurance and calm to her worry about being a new mother. Soothed and thankful, she offered him a surprising career opportunity — seemingly out of nowhere, but perfectly timed.
After all the soothing Marcus did, allowing his doomscrolling momentum to subside, Marcus’ Broader Perspective confirmed he had done the work. The confirmation came in the form of this career opportunity. It was his Broader Perspective winking: you’re back in alignment.
In The Seth Material, there’s a passage I often return to:
“Before you can be allowed into systems of reality that are more extensive and open, you must first learn to handle energy and see, through physical materialization, the concrete result of thought and emotion.”
This is exactly what Marcus experienced. He recognized what happened had nothing to do with being punished. He was training himself. Training himself into being able to perceive the transformation of thought-into-form, the materialization of belief into lived experience.
“As a child forms mud pies from dirt, so you form your civilizations out of thoughts and emotions, and then see what you have created.”
Marcus saw what he had created. And instead of reacting, he chose to recalibrate.
This planet — this dimension — is a training system. A dream-school. A mirror of emotional energy turned physical. And Marcus, like all of us, is here to master the art of turning thoughts into things.
The Dreamer Within the Dream
Marcus had a weekend full of contrast. But he didn’t get stuck in the mud pie. He saw it for what it was — a reflection of what he was ready to integrate.
Marcus practiced power — not force. He used awareness not reaction. Then he practiced love — not as an idea, but as action. He practiced sovereignty — not changing others, but changing where he placed his attention.
“The dreamer dreams, and the dreamer within the dream dreams.”
And in the dream he created, the dream responded.
That’s how this works. The gift that’s physical reality is the ability to see exteriorized our inner state. It’s the greatest gift ever. One that’s always memorable and always multidimensional.
TL;DR: One client’s experience reveals how divine timing and creative energy work together. When you trust your worthiness, life responds instantly. Alignment, therefore isn’t earned — it’s received. And the Universe is always confirming that truth.
There’s a moment that comes when a person truly begins living from their Broader Perspective. It’s the moment contrast no longer feels like resistance — but recognition. That moment is when life starts confirming itself in the most spectacular ways.
A few weeks ago, I had a session with a client that demonstrated this perfectly. As with all my Positively Focused YouTube Channel Worthiness Wednesday stories, this one isn’t just a “feel-good” anecdote. It’s a precise illustration of how the Universe works when you let it love you.
This particular client came to our session frustrated with a coworker. In his words, this colleague wasn’t pulling his weight. That imbalance was forcing my client to shoulder more of the workload. Understandably, that annoyed him. But as we explored the situation more deeply, something beautiful emerged.
From Frustration to Forward Movement
What he hadn’t yet realized was how the contrast between his performance and his coworker’s was actually highlighting his value. Internal customers within the organization kept asking for him. They bypassed the other guy entirely. Why? Because my client had built a reputation for excellence. The contrast was illuminating that even more.
The so-called “problem” was actually a platform — a divine setup designed to make his strengths undeniable. When he saw it from that angle, he relaxed. He began to feel what I already knew: everything is always working out for him.
That truth isn’t just a catchy phrase. It’s the deepest foundation of this practice. And it’s one that becomes easier to see the more we trust our experience — especially when contrast appears.
Creative Energy and the Dance of Manifestation
After that breakthrough, our session shifted into dreamwork and deeper energetic territory. The client wanted to share a recent dream, which sparked a conversation about masculine and feminine energy — or more precisely, creative and action energies.
As I often say: these polarities have nothing to do with gender. Humans have long confused labels with essence. What we’re really talking about are the two fundamental forces of manifestation.
Creative energy is receptive, still, open, and potential-rich.
Action energy is directional, assertive, expressive, and devoted.
Creation energy doesn’t push. It beckons. Creative energy doesn’t force, it flows. And when it becomes full — when the inner vision is saturated with clarity — then action arises as a natural extension. Not as effort, but as orchestration.
IIt’s a mistake to think doing is what makes things happen. Doing isn’t the catalyst. Creation is. Action happens with ease when you’re lined up vibrationally with what has already been created. That’s the real meaning of manifestation.
Inspired Action Follows Fulfilled Creation
This client happens to be a deeply creative person — a musician, with a growing desire to bring comedy into his performances. Our session touched on how those two streams might converge in his expression.
But more importantly, we explored the energetic foundation underneath his creative desire. I reminded him that when he resides in the energy of creation — without jumping into effort — he doesn’t have to chase outcomes. The manifestation will meet him where he is.
The metaphor I shared with him was an image based on a Gustav Klimt-inspired painting: a knight kneeling at the feet of a woman, head bowed, fully surrendered. I don’t know if the artist intended it this way, but the symbolism is profound.
The knight — representing action — kneels not in weakness, but in reverent service to the feminine principle of creation. That’s not subjugation. That’s sovereignty expressed as devotion.
And so it is in all of us. True action energy doesn’t dominate. It serves the dream already conceived in silence.
The Universe Confirms Instantly
Later that day, the client sent me a voice message. It was radiant. His voice vibrated with joy. Right after our call, his partner smudged the house in response to some news about a family member. He stepped into the kitchen just as she was replaying a paused Abraham video.
And the first words spoken? “Creativity is the fun part. That’s what we’re here to do. The doing comes after that.” My client didn’t miss the synchronicity because it was exact. A few seconds later, he glanced at the computer screen. The next video that auto-played? Titled: “Action vs. Alignment — What Matters More?”
The synchronicity even shocked his partner, who also a client. She hadn’t queued up that video. It just appeared. As he said in the message: “This is how this f*ing shit works.”
For sure. When you align with your creative spark, the Universe moves mountains to show you the clarity of your path in real-time. It does this through voices, videos, scents, timing, dreams — whatever channel will reach you.
Worthiness in Motion
The reason this matters isn’t just because it’s “cool.” It’s because it reveals something fundamental about who we are.
We are eternal beings — pure creative potential housed in physical form, supported by action energy lovingly responding to our state of alignment.
Our lives, when lived from that clarity, become symphonies of synchronicity. It’s not just that we create our realities. It’s that our realities become love letters from Source to self.
This client got to feel that directly. And I got to witness another human being come more fully into the awareness of their worthiness — not through effort, but through realization.
Final Thought: It’s Always Displaying
This is what Worthiness Wednesdays on my YouTube Channel is really about: showing that life is already doing the work. When you rest in creation, when you trust your unfolding, and when you stop trying to out-effort your own alignment — the Universe rushes in to confirm what’s always been true: You are deeply loved. Your desires are already underway. And every contrast you encounter is setting the stage for your next becoming.
So pay attention. Divine synchronicity is on beautiful display. Not just for this client. For all of us. And it’s only getting louder.
TL;DR: The author revisits a vivid, real-world manifestation—finding $40 on a walk—and as a followup explores how we each create our own separate vibrational reality, even when walking side by side with others. A practical spiritual reminder.
Yesterday, something delightful happened that keeps revealing deeper truths. If you read my previous post, you know about the $40 that appeared at the perfect time—two crisp $20 bills lying on the pavement in plain sight, discovered on an evening walk with a friend.
That story alone is a testament to how intimately the Universe responds to our vibration. I had just soothed old scarcity stories that surfaced after conversations with clients—one heading into surgery, the other going on vacation—and I’d aligned with abundance. I had a desire: to get some cash for berry picking at a local farm, without paying an ATM fee. And within hours, the Universe delivered.
But what happened next was even more powerful.
Same Walk, Different Worlds
The friend I walked with—Raziah—was right beside me when that money manifestation happened. She was actually closer to the cash than I was. I had to step behind her to pick it up. It was sitting there, in plain view. And yet, she didn’t see it.
She wouldn’t have even known it was there if I hadn’t said, “Hold up, I need a moment.” When I turned around and showed her the bills, she was surprised. Not just because of the money, but because of how obvious it was. That had me wonder: how many others had walked by without noticing it?
That’s when it hit me—this experience wasn’t our manifestation. It was mine. It had nothing to do with her. She was present for it, yes. But it wasn’t part of her vibrational trajectory. It was mine alone.
The Universe placed that money in my path. Not metaphorically. Literally. That’s why she didn’t see the money until I showed it to her.
Everyone Lives in Their Own Reality
This is one of the most beautiful paradoxes of physical reality: even when we share time and space with others—on a walk, in a conversation, even in intimate relationships—we are each living entirely separate vibrational realities.
Raziah didn’t see the money because it wasn’t for her. It didn’t exist in her field of awareness until I brought it into view. Until that moment, those bills might as well have been invisible in her world. And that’s not some woo-woo metaphor. That’s real. That’s physics—vibrational physics.
Our individual reality can contain anything we imagine.
It’s also what so many of my clients wrestle with in the early stages of the Positively Focused practice. They understand, conceptually, that they create their reality. But then they look around and see things they don’t like—war, politics, economic uncertainty—and they think: “How can this be my creation?” The answer is always: “You tuned to it.”
And if they keep tuning to it, life obliges. Just like it did for me when I was immersed in outrage culture a decade ago. Like it did for my friend Mark, who sees only a Portland full of decay and danger. Just like it did for me, briefly, when I dipped into his vibrational lens and momentarily forgot the future I’ve already aligned with.
Your World = Your Signal
What happened with the $40 was a masterclass reminder: no one else is in our reality but each of us. That doesn’t mean other people don’t exist. It means our version of them, our version of reality, is a vibrational echo of our own signal.
So many people struggle with this because they think manifestation has to be huge, dramatic, and public to count. But often, the most personal, powerful manifestations are quiet. Subtle. Hidden in plain sight—until we tune to them.
That’s why I love the Positively Focused path. It doesn’t promise fireworks (though those come too). It promises alignment. Clarity. And experiences that feel magical… because they are. They’re vibrational magic made real.
We don’t need others to validate our reality. Nor do we need proof in the form of mass agreement that the manifestation happened. We just need to tune our signal. Then, the Universe meets us there—with money on the pavement, a berry-picking trip paid for in advance, and a reminder that we are always supported.
TL;DR: The author shares two powerful client dreams — one featuring Vladimir Putin, the other a transgender escort — to show how dreams mirror dominant beliefs, and emotional momentum, thereby showing where one is relative to achieving their deepest desires.
Some people say they don’t dream. Others say they do, but think their dreams are just gibberish—random nonsense, neurons firing off, the brain processing the day’s events. But what if that assumption was completely wrong? What if our dreams are actually our most accurate, uncensored spiritual feedback system next to our emotions?
A new client recently asked in session: “Why isn’t this material taught in school? If people learned this stuff early on, they’d live way better lives.” She’s right. If we understood what dreams are actually showing us, we’d know exactly where we are vibrationally—and how close or far we are from the life we want most.
Let me show you how, using two dreams from a client I’ll call Daniel.
Dreams as vibrational mirrors
In the Positively Focused practice, dreams aren’t psychological leftovers. They’re real-time broadcasts from our Broader Perspective, offering feedback on: Our dominant emotional state, belief constellations at the forefront of our experience and the size of the vibrational gap between where we are and what we want. They’re not predictions. They don’t “mean” one rigid thing. Instead, they’re energy reports. And when interpreted clearly, they can change our lives.
Which brings us to Daniel and his dreams, which were predominately about power and shame. Daniel had been working through deep contrast around a woman he still loves — a powerful, beautiful trans escort we’ll call Irene. Their relationship was complicated: transactional, emotionally charged, and karmically dense. Daniel fell in love. Irene remained elusive. They mirrored each other’s strongest, most dominant beliefs.
Because of that, their transactional relationship, for Daniel, dipped into a romantic one. Irene wanted that too, to some degree, but her hatred of men and self-loathing forced her to keep emotional intimacy with Daniel at a distance. That triggered even more Daniel’s old beliefs, which caused him to push harder for a relationship beyond the transactional one. And that caused Irene to resist even more.
Eventually the relationship (the transactional one) blew up with Irene going her way and Daniel, bitter, angry and frustrated yet still pining for her, going the other. Daniel felt an extremely strong connection with Irene. Irene felt it too, but couldn’t even begin to acknowledge its presence. Therefore, Daniel resolved to use the Positively Focused practice to rendezvous with a better version of Irene. One who could welcome a “real” relationship with open arms.
Dreams as vibrational maps
But Daniel had a LOT of negative momentum making him not a match to such a relationship. That explained why he was seeing escorts, hanging at strip clubs, drinking excessively and porn binging. So creating a better version of Irene would take a while I explained.
One day in session long after that conversation, Daniel began feeling like it was taking too long. This is a common thread for him. Impatience, thinking he knows when something should happen, instead of trusting divine timing, plagues him. So he asked me where he stood, vibrationally, in manifesting a reunion with Irene. It was a reoccurring subject in our sessions, reflecting Daniel’s obsession with Irene. An obsession that worked against him creating a better version of her.
Up to this point, Daniel created a TON of evidence showing he was becoming successful at creating the reunion. But he kept wobbling between belief, hope and eager anticipation – all emotions consistent with him receiving what he wants – and disillusionment, doubt, pessimism and hopelessness. Pain this wobble caused gave Daniel the momentum necessary to have a dream. A dream that amplified everything I had been telling him. It was a perfect, positive dream, but Danial woke from it convinced it was a nightmare.
It wasn’t a nightmare. It was a vibrational map.
A dream reflecting so much
In the dream, Daniel is in a car with his parents and Vladimir Putin. They’re navigating a steep, winding driveway in what seems to be Daniel’s own car in waking life: a high performance, manual transmission European model. Daniel wants Putin to try driving it. He’s excited to know what this powerful man thinks of his “vehicle” — a potent symbol for how Daniel views his own life path and seeks external validation.
Putin drives the car fast, taking blind corners recklessly. Yet, he’s unimpressed. They stop at a pastry shop. Daniel’s father mutters something insulting under his breath—Putin hears it. His eyes flash with murderous rage. But then something strange happens.
Putin notices Daniel’s father’s lifestyle: sleeping all day, eating jelly beans, cake and drinking Snapple. He sees the poor habits, the undisciplined routine. At first he thinks this guy lives a pathetic life. But then….he softens. Not out of compassion—but indifference.
“This man,” he seems to think, “is so weak and pathetic… he’s not even worth killing.”
Putin’s extreme judgement mirrors Daniel’s own judgement for himself and his father.
That’s the moment Daniel felt most gutted. Not by violence, but by dismissal. And that’s the point. This dream wasn’t about Putin or Daniel’s father. It was a metaphorical embodiment of Daniel’s internal conflict.
He sees his desire for self-love and spiritual reunion (the path) as something noble — but he often hands the wheel to a distorted, masculine archetype: control, fear, shame, domination and aggression. He craves power, but feels like a fraud. He wants approval, but fears worthlessness. It’s not Putin judging him. It’s him judging himself — mercilessly. Just as he — Daniel mercilessly judges his father.
A dream about desire and exposure
A few nights later, Daniel has another dream. This time, Irene is at the center.
He finds her with another man—a new boyfriend who also is a personal trainer. Daniel tries to contact her but ends up talking to the man instead. What unfolds is intense: Daniel begins exposing Irene to her new partner. “Do you know how much she hates men?” “Can you afford to be with her?” He feels righteous… and also embarrassed. Suddenly, she’s physically there—close to him in the dream. She steals a PS Vita out of his pocket, a small gaming device that was a market failure.
The boyfriend scolds her gently: “Stop that, Irene. I’ve seen her do that before.” he tells Daniel. Then Irene turns to Daniel and screams: “You just can’t get enough of me, can you?”
And in that moment all is revealed. Irene is exposed. Daniel is exposed. They’re both tangled in projection, shame, power play… and still, longing. Daniel woke up from this dream deeply pessimistic. He described himself feeling “defeated”. He thought the dream showed him his desire was futile.
But the dream wasn’t showing him he was failing. It showed him the perfect vibrational snapshot of where he stands relative to what he wants:
The PS Vita = a symbol of communication of spiritual connection,fun and joy. It also represents his connection to the pure positive energy that is his Broader Perspective.
Irene stealing the PS Vita = Daniel has put her on a pedestal, above his connection with himself. She literally steals his connection to the divine, a symbol of Daniel prioritizing her over connection with himself.
The righteousness = his current coping strategy for unresolved grief and control
The revenge he wreaks on Irene = the contempt he still feels for Irene which is pushing her away, not drawing her near
Her words = an acknowledgment of their undeniable connection. A promise that the relationship is ready…when Daniel becomes a vibrational match to it. Also, a powerful indication of how desperately attached he is.
What these dreams reveal
This wasn’t a nightmare. It was a wake up call. It is contrast revealed symbolically. It’s feedback, lovingly offered, so Daniel can see what he’s emanating—and why it’s blocking what he wants.
The correct response to the dream? Conjure better feeling thoughts about the relationship Daniel wants. Soothe old beliefs about betrayal, emotional abuse and belittlement. Relax into what it would feel like to have the relationship Daniel wants. All of these are part of the Positively Focused framework. And Daniel has had success implementing them.
But because he wobbles between empowering beliefs and disempowering ones, he’s moving two steps forward and one-and-three-quarters steps backward. And that’s why his progress is so slow seeming!
Dreams are offering profound guidance. Life can go so much better being aware of them.
Together, these two dreams lay out Daniel’s entire journey:
He wants reunion, but his momentum says “you’re not ready yet.”
Daniel wants love, but still filters it through manipulation and judgment.
He wants softness, but keeps relying on authoritarian control over others.
Danial craves self respect but can’t get that until he respects (stops condemning) his father, and, as an extension, respects himself.
And the moment he understands all this — not intellectually, but vibrationally — hesoftens. Again, he’s experienced that softening over and over and over in brief flashes. They last long enough to show him what he wants is there. He just needs a more consistent practice.
But he can’t develop that because he sees these dreams as punishments, when, instead, they’re pathways.
Why this should be taught in schools
Too many people think dreams are random. Too many think nightmares are warnings. So many wake up feeling fear about what was actually a clear, loving message from their Broader Perspective. Others wake up oblivious to very powerful, valuable guidance.
Dreams are our personal vibrational syllabus. So “Why isn’t this taught in school?” Good question. If children learned to read dreams as vibrational maps, they’d understand their emotions, desires, and resistance by the time they hit adolescence. Then they wouldn’t chase worth through unhealthy habits and toxic relationships. They’d stop mistaking anger and bully behavior for power. They’d live lives of conscious creation, emotional honesty, and spiritual integration.
And in doing so, they would lives lives as adults as extraordinary people.
Our dreams constantly inform us. The question we must ask is: Are we listening? We don’t need to decode everything all at once. We can just start by noticing we have dreams. Write them down, let the symbols breathe. Ask: What does this reflect back to me? What does it tell me about where I am—and where I want to be?

TL;DR: The author shares a vivid real-life example of how alignment, trust, and vibrational integration led to a surprise cash manifestation—confirming that the Universe always responds, often with ease and delightful abundance.
Some stories are too perfect not to share. This one is a powerful demonstration of what happens when you release resistance, align with your Broader Perspective, and allow the Universe to show you how deeply it has your back.
Earlier today, I had two client sessions that stirred some old belief momentum in me. One client was preparing for a vacation in Norway, and the other was getting ready for a major surgery. Both are long-time clients, and as I considered their upcoming plans, old thoughts started to surface: Would they pause their sessions? Would my income dip as a result?Scarcity and limitation—those old gremlins—began whispering again.
I didn’t push them away. Instead, I followed the practice I’ve honed for years.
Integration in presence
I walked into the park near my apartment, into the warm, gentle summer air, and let myself feel what I was feeling. I acknowledged the scarcity thoughts, honored the emotions that came with them, and then gently brought myself into the now. Into presence. I let myself remember that in this moment, nothing is missing.
Then, I did something else: I invited those old beliefs back in — not to fuel them, but to soothe them. I welcomed them as parts of myself ready for re-integration. As I did, I felt relief. Spaciousness. Alignment.
When I returned from the park, I still hadn’t heard from the client going on vacation, but the client preparing for surgery—who I had assumed might cancel several upcoming sessions—instead canceled just one. One session, not four. That in itself was a beautiful alignment.
I took the next 30 minutes (a gap created by a rescheduled session) to meditate. That time was a gift. The whole day was already flowing better.
Later, I followed a spontaneous impulse to invite a new friend for a walk. She showed up at 5:15, and we set out on a beautiful loop through my neighborhood.
As we walked, she asked how my day had gone, and I shared what I just shared with you. I also mentioned that I wanted to ride my bike to a local farm this Thursday to pick berries. The farm only accepts cash, and I rarely carry cash. I told her I didn’t really want to pay an ATM fee or get cash back at a grocery store. It was a small thing, but it was on my mind.
Then we let it go. We moved on to other topics, enjoying the rhythm of our walk and the lightness of the evening.
The manifestation happens
About a mile from home, we walked through the neighborhood’s main transit center. As we crossed a familiar stretch of sidewalk, I heard that quiet, loving nudge from my Broader Perspective:
“Look over there.” I turned my head.
There on the ground — neatly folded — was a pair of bills. At first, I thought they were singles. But when I picked them up, I saw the number: two crisp $20 bills. $40 – way more than I expected.
It was like magic. Only it wasn’t magic. It was a manifestation through alignment.
I showed my friend and smiled. Then I connected the dots. This was a manifestation. The Universe had heard me.
I wanted to go berry picking without the annoyance of ATM fees. I had practiced my alignment and soothed my scarcity thoughts. Also, I had invited those beliefs back into myself for re-integration. I had made space.
And the Universe responded—not just with what I asked for, but with abundance. The berries will cost no more than $6. That means I’ll have over $30 left. The Universe didn’t just meet my need. It overflowed it.
Tune to it
Here’s the kicker: Normally I prepare my blog posts in advance so I have several weeks scheduled ahead. But last weekend, I didn’t do that. I had three weeks of posts lined up, but not a fourth. Earlier today, my AI companion and I worked on one story. Now here’s a second. Perfectly timed. Perfectly aligned. The blog is on schedule. My berry-picking dream is funded. And I’m once again reminded: everything is always working out for me.
This is why I teach what I teach. It’s why I live Positively Focused. Because when you tend your vibration first—when you make your alignment your priority—life shows up for you. Tangibly. Playfully. Generously.
This wasn’t just $40 on the ground. It was a love note from the Universe. A nod that says, “Yes, you’re in sync. Keep going.”
To everyone reading this: the money, the relationship, the relief—it’s all lining up for you too. Your job isn’t to make it happen. Your job is to tune to it.
The Universe doesn’t respond to action. It responds to vibration. And when your vibration is clear, even something as simple as cash on the ground becomes a doorway into wonder.
TL;DR: The author explores how a lost set of keys led client “Steven” into a vibrational tailspin, revealing old belief patterns and offering a powerful opportunity for realignment and expansion.This is part 2 of Steven’s story.
Steven was already off balance. He’d ignored his Broader Perspective’s gentle invitation to stay home—a nudge his wife had unwittingly overridden. He’d also hit a baby deer the night before. That was a jarring event. But it still reverberated through his body the next morning. He hadn’t slept well. And even though he showed up to work as scheduled, something inside him knew: he wasn’t calibrated.
That matters. Because when you’re not calibrated, when you’re not aligned, the Universe doesn’t punish you. But it will offer a mirror so accurate, so refined, that if you’re paying attention, you’ll see exactly what stories you’re still telling—whether you like them or not.
For Steven, that’s exactly what was about to happen.
Steven could have avoided all this had he listened to the gentle whisper. The whisper from his Broader Perspective to stay home. Not avoiding it, however, introduced a wonderful unfolding. Although Steven would see it that way for many days.
When Keys Vanish, Beliefs Speak
It started simply. A moment that could have gone unnoticed. As Steven performed his usual rounds on the college campus where he worked, he had just used a lockbox key—one of many keys specifically assigned to him as part of his facilities management role. These keys weren’t just tools. They were symbols. The keys were tangible representations of the next level of his career: campus locksmith. The locksmith job promised higher salary, better hours, more freedom and more recognition. It was a promotion Steven looked forward to.
One moment while using the keys at the lockbox, Steven had the keys. The next moment, however, they were gone. Steven’s heart sank. He looked everywhere. He retraced his steps. Steven checked every pocket, every surface.
The keys were simply not there. Not in a metaphorical “they’ll turn up later” kind of way. But in that physical-reality-has-shifted kind of way. A loss so precise it almost felt orchestrated.
Because it was.
And yet, Steven’s boss, Richard, wasn’t pleased. “That’s not going to look good for your locksmith promotion,” Richard said shaking his head. “A locksmith who loses his keys?”
And with that, Steven’s vibration—already shaky—collapsed into a tailspin.
“Lost” is a vibrational reality
For most people, losing something like keys is common. I’ve written several stories about my experience losing things. Here’s one. Here’s another. When something goes lost, the best thing to do, if possible, is forget about trying to find it. Instead, if we just go about our business, we’ll be led back into the reality where the item is present.
But most people, myself included sometimes, instantly start looking for the item. Doing that, we amplify the reality in which the thing is “lost”. Moreover, the more we try to find it, we amplify its lost state even more. So losing things, especially minor things, is a great way to prove to ourselves that we constantly move from one dimension to another. Losing something gives us a chance to play with alternate realities.
Sometimes, however, we lose something significant. When that happens, we’re not likely to just forget about it. In those cases, the lost item represents a more important movement of dimensional reality. For Steven, losing his keys was part of an ongoing series of manifestations. Manifestations that began with a wonderful visit to his sister’s house.
Killing that dear was part of that unfolding. So was being unable to sleep. Indeed, I’m sure, in the dream state, Steven soothed a lot of what he had stepped into. But he didn’t allow the momentum to soothe further. That’s why his Broader Perspective wanted him to take the day off.
He didn’t though. And everything changed. The intensity of his disconnection increased. As it did, more benefit unfolded for him.
From Whispers to Storms
Suddenly, everything Steven hadn’t done yet became a spotlight of failure. There was the broken sprinkler system. The backlog of requests. His own perfectionism kicked in, too — frantically reviewing all the ways he might have prevented losing his keys. Richard’s comments, the increased scrutiny he laid on Steven, the backlog of requests — all these things represented increased intensity.
But the real storm raging wasn’t Richard or anything outside Steven. It was the internal narrative Steven summoned in response. Richard, who had previously been mentoring Steven for the locksmith role, now seemed like a different person. He showed up as critical, cold and suspicious. Steven felt judged, watched, scrutinized and criticized. This new version Steven created had him feeling completely disempowered. And his lost keys left him feeling helpless to do anything about the situation.
Steven’s vibration changed. So everything around him did too, including Richard.
All that didn’t happen because Richard suddenly changed. It happened because Steven’s vibration changed. In his state of fear, he rendezvoused with a version of Richard that reflected exactly what he feared most: rejection, disappointment, and lost trust.
That’s how manifestation works. It doesn’t just hand us things. It reveals the shape of our beliefs so we can do something about them. Do something and we become a match to better alternate realities. But if we don’t, the shape of our beliefs, projected outward as a physical reality, gets more intense. It gets more intense because our Broader Perspective and All That Is wants us to align with that which we desire.
It’s the only way we can have what we want. So the Universe and our Broader Perspective cooperates in nudging us in the direction of what we want by giving us cues. They start as whispers. However, if we ignore them, they can turn into storms.
Mother becomes the boss
So the intensity of Steven’s reaction wasn’t about keys. It wasn’t about promotions. It was about something deeper. Something older. Something Steven had felt before.
The feelings—of being misunderstood, scrutinized, punished unfairly—were eerily familiar. They echoed memories of his relationship with his mother. Back then, he often felt like he couldn’t do anything right. No matter how hard he tried, she’d find something wrong. Her love and trust were conditional, easily withdrawn at the first sign of what she perceived as “failure.” Another way of describing “failure” is “any time Steven didn’t meet her expectations.”
Now here he was again. Different setting. Different authority figure. Same emotional response. That’s the gift of manifestation. It’s never random. It brings the unsoothed pattern back to us—but dressed in new clothes. This time it wasn’t “Mom.” It was Richard. And instead of a scolding at home, it was pressure at work. The stakes were higher, for sure. But vibrationally, the match was perfect. And the situation? Exactly the same.
All this wasn’t bad, though. It reflected Steven’s upgraded status as a vibrational being. The stakes were higher. His job was potentially on the line, or so Steven believed. His boss was furious with him, he thought.
What I knew was this whole experience was a higher-level opportunity to soothe his old beliefs. Beliefs still creating realities in his life that revealed where he is relative to his desires.
Steven is doing great. In other words, he’s progressing and progressing fast. It seems like these kinds of situations shouldn’t happen for someone advanced as Steven. And yet, these kinds of things do happen in the early stages of the advanced practice. That’s because they act as clearing gateways to brighter, better alternate futures.
Beliefs Hide in Plain Sight—Until They Don’t
Steven didn’t notice the parallel at first. Nor did he recognize how perfect all this was.
It wasn’t until our session, as we slowed everything down, that he saw it. The shame. The fear. Impulses to over perform in order to prove his worth. The sense of being “on trial.” All of it tracked back to a belief constellation first activated in childhood — and still quietly vibrating in his present-day experience.
Again, the lost keys didn’t cause this vibration. They revealed it.
That’s why the Positively Focused practice is so powerful. It shows us nothing ever “goes wrong.” Even a lost object is a portal into deeper knowing—if we’re willing to look. Not with blame. Not with urgency. But with curiosity and compassion.
And Steven did just that…eventually. It took him a week. In the days leading up to our session, he struggled. When he came to the session, he was deep in negative emotion. Despair. Helplessness.
By the end of our session, however, he saw what was unfolding—not as punishment or setback—but as a tailor-made invitation to liberate old beliefs from their hiding places. He didn’t just lose keys. He found himself.
Takeaway: When something’s lost, something deeper reveals itself.
TL;DR: This post reveals how a client’s emotionally charged work assignment became the perfect backdrop for dream-state alchemy—and how that dream dissolved resistance and sparked powerful clarity and ease.The experience shows how dreams work in conjunction with waking reality, when one is Positively Focused.
When Marsha (not her real name) came into session this past week, she carried a storm of energy around an assignment given to her by a work colleague and friend, Janet (also a pseudonym). The assignment seemed simple on its surface, but for Marsha, it stirred a complex emotional brew: fear of exposure, anxiety around performance, and a deep, practiced belief that being emotionally transparent might somehow be unsafe.
I wrote about this in my last post. I’m going deeper in this post, to show how exactly the dream state works in conjunction with waking reality, thus making it a powerful Source of awareness.
It’s easy, when gripped by these emotional currents, to think the problem is the whatever we are facing. But in the Positively Focused practice, we know something deeper is always at work. And that’s where this session offered Marsha something stunning.
Marsha described the assignment as triggering a downward emotional spiral. Her words reflected the inner tangle so many experience: “The moment Janet [gave me the assignment] my stomach dropped and my anxiety was like blowing through my head,” She said. “It got so bad that afterwards, I was physically shaking. I was so, so very extraordinarily stressed out, and felt incredibly pressured.”
Marsha tried applying the Positively Focused process to calm herself, and she got some traction. But the resistance was persistent. Eventually, she let herself rest. She was tired. And rather than resist that tiredness, she did something quietly powerful: She allowed herself to slip into sleep.
What happened next is a beautiful demonstration of how dreams serve our waking evolution.
The Dream Wrapped in the Waking Life
I asked Marsha to share her dream. Understanding the power of the dream world requires that I share what she shared. So here it is, straight from our session transcript:
“I was thinking about [Janet] and the task before I went to sleep, and I felt like, in the dream, even though I was in the dream, it was almost like [the task] was on the outskirts. My worry of that specific thing was on the, like, physically around the frame of the dream that I was having, even though it had nothing to do with the dream.”
Unknown to Marsha at the time, the dream had everything to do with the task. I’ll break that down in a moment. Here’s how she described what happened next:
“My mom and I are in a hotel room, and then we go explore this town, and everything is like old and dusty, and unkempt. And then she goes back to the hotel room, and I go to a shop or something where there’s an ex firefighter who’s very attractive. He’s showing me some things, and I’m flirting with him, and he’s embarrassed. I leave him to go back to the hotel room where my mother is, and she is not in the room, but the kitchenette that’s in the hotel room has like a pot of tea or something that’s bursting and like flowing, and it’s dangerous.”
“So I turn it off, and I’m really mad about it. And then someone who’s my sister. I know this person to be my sister, even though, in real life I don’t actually have a sister, comes in, and I’m mad at my sister, who, oddly enough, looks a lot like me, not identical twins. I’m mad because she wasn’t there in the hotel room to make sure that something hazardous, like a boiling pot, wouldn’t occur to protect my mom, who was not in the room.”
Interpreting The Dream World
Dreams, in the Positively Focused framework, are vital, vibrational events. They are not just the mind replaying memories. They are orchestrations of our Broader Perspective, designed to help us integrate, soothe, and expand.
When we go into nonphysical, we leave our brain, as well as the rest of our bodies, behind. When we return to our bodies, the dream’s “echo”, or resonance of the dream in non-physical, returns with us. At that point, our brain takes that echo and tries to translate the nonphysical experience into a kind of waking experience. It’s the same function the brain plays in waking experience: it’s translating vibrations into our “reality”. So it tries to do the same thing with nonphysical vibrational experience.
As it does this, it uses imagery from our waking life to approximate as best it can what happens in our nonphysical “dream” experience. Since dreams are much more complex than physical reality, the brain doesn’t get it all. It does get enough, however, for someone trained in dream work to interpret the dream.
That’s what I did with Marsha.
I told her several things stood out about this dream. Some of those things indicated the powerful connection Marsha has to the dream world. Her dream was extremely vivid and detailed. Her recall was also astounding. Furthermore, Marsha’s dream occurred in a nonphysical container holding the waking life assignment and the emotional response Marsha had to it. That she perceived that was remarkable. But she still thought the dream had nothing to do with the assignment.
The dream had everything to do with the assignment, however. And, in the dream, Marsha worked through her fear and anxiety, which is why what happened when she came out of the dream was possible. Let’s look at the dream imagery to see the connections.
Marsha’s dream depicted by ChatGPT.
Dream Symbolism Offers Keys
The shopping mall and hotel imagery was not random. Marsha is a young, mixed race, beautiful woman. And she maintains that beauty with a passion. She also loves the finer things in life. Shopping malls are her happy place. Since nonphysical, for everyone, is a place of unmitigated joy, freedom and expansion, the closest imagery her brain could approximate that expansive experience to is shopping malls.
However, that environment was dusty and full of abandoned products. That indicated that Marsha no longer want’s that old way of being to be her main focus. That is reflected in her waking life, evidenced by her willingness to work with Janet on a fledgling business and her decision to become a Positively Focused client. She’s ready for expansion, in other words.
Hotels in dreams are often transitory locations as hotels typically are in waking life. So the dream takes place in a transitory state, the transition being from the “what-is” of Marsha’s anxiety and fear (which are vibrations), to a different vibrational frequency, which Marsha intends to move to in the dream.
The firefighter experience is Marsha’s Broader Perspective showing up as capable, competent and with a lot of experience (retired) dealing with what I described as Marsha’s “4-alarm fire” that was the assignment.
“He’s a demonstration of you, to yourself,” I told her. “Of your ability to handle what you consider to be a conflagration, the fire raging in you.”
While I explained this, Marsha got more interested and energetic in her vibrational stance. She leaned into the computer. I could tell what I shared was landing.
Evidence she’s capable
The firefighter represented the fact that Marsha’s got this whole situation under control. Marsha’s brain interpreting her as flirting with the firefighter was an attempt to approximate the intense connection and love Marsha has. Not for firefighters, but for the connection she has with her Broader Perspective, which is what the fireman represented.
The next important image was the kettle in the kitchenette. It was about to explode. I probed Marsha about this important image: “What kind of kettle is it?” I asked. “Is it like an ancient Japanese iron kettle, or is it like a modern pot?”
Marsha said it was a traditional Japanese iron kettle.
“That’s not surprising,” I said. Then I explained how the transient or liminal space represented by the hotel was a place of expansion. Her mother not being there showed that in nonphysical, Marsha is expanding into her own sovereignty. Her mother plays a dominant role in her life right now. That role isn’t negative. They’re good friends as well as mother/daughter.
However, Marsha is a freedom-seeking, powerful expanding being. And because of choices her mother made, her mother is all about tradition and conservatism. The ancient Japanese tea kettle bursting with steam, bubbling over, I said, is representative of Marsha’s sovereign, creative energy wanting to expand beyond limiting tradition and conservation beliefs.
The you that wants freedom and expansion, I told her, “It’s bubbling over, out of this cauldron that you’ve wrapped around it to try and contain it. And no, it’s not going to be contained.”
Sibling As Broader Perspective
Then we touched on the wonderful interplay of Marsha with herself in the context of her mother’s influence. The sister Marsha doesn’t have, looked like Marsha. That’s because this “sister” is actually Marsha’s expanded self, who already has moved past her mother’s influence. And the argument Marsha has with her was about Marsha coming into alignment with that expanded version of her.
The expansion represented by all this imagery happened in the dream state, in part, to spur Marsha’s movement forward in wake state. It was movement forward, which was why, when she woke from this dream, not only did she feel better, resistance she had about the assignment and other tasks disappeared.
Sleep state is powerful. In the dream state we process tremendous energies all to our benefit. Consciously benefitting from that experience, however, requires we know it’s going on. And it requires us fostering the processing. How? By moving forward from the dreams.
What do I mean by that? Well, most people don’t realize they’re dreaming. Many who do don’t know what dreams really are. Or they forget them the moment they wake. In doing so, they pick right back up whatever they were thinking about before they went to sleep. So they just re-amplify whatever momentum they had from the previous day.
The key to benefitting from dreams is to wake up in a “fresh-start” frame of mind. Sleep state resets us to our expansion. Recognizing this and leveraging it makes a huge difference, as Marsha found.
Integration Through Symbolism From Resistance to Inspiration
To recap: Every symbol in Marsha’s dream was an echo of her waking concerns:
The boiling kettle reflected her suppressed, expansive, creative and emotional energy.
The hotel symbolized a temporary space of identity—she hadn’t yet claimed her sovereignty in that assignment.
The flirtation with the fireman showed her inner fire seeking expression in playful, unstructured ways.
The absence of her mother underscored the detachment from external authority; she wasn’t looking for approval anymore.
These weren’t intellectual metaphors. They were felt, emotional realities in the dream. And, they had her wake up different. When she came out of sleep, she wasn’t just rested. She was clear. She felt different. Lighter. No longer bogged down by the invisible weight of the assignment. And what followed was surprising to her:
“I woke up, and the anxiety had dissipated.” She said.
Marsha’s dream allowed her to release a ton of resistance which made her much more effective.
The dream had done the heavy lifting. But her Broader Perspective and the Universe weren’t done with her yet. Moreover, what happened next tied the whole manifestation together perfectly.
A girlfriend who lives in London texted Marsha after this dream event. It’s someone Marsha doesn’t talk with often, which explains why she thought this text was “random”.
It was anything but random though. Attached was an Instagram meme, “talking about how today is the luckiest day of the year, the luckiest day.” Marsha said. Marsha was stunned by the meme’s beauty, she said. It just really stood out in her mind.
“Okay, it’s supposed to be the luckiest day,” Marsha recounted. “This is a really big deal. So everything should just go really well today, and I shouldn’t be feeling bad anymore. That’s how I felt when I saw the message.”
“Right after that,” Marsha said. “My other girlfriend sent me another screenshot which I just need to read to you. And so I was wondering if this was my Broader Perspective communicating to me via universe. It has Taurus on it, and then it goes: “Once she became comfortable with being uncomfortable, she was free to grow.”
Free to grow
“It resonated so hard!” Marsha exclaimed.
Indeed. It was the perfect capstone to a brilliant unfolding. A perfect orchestration looping in her Broader Perspective, the Universe and two friends’ Broader Perspectives which inspired them to send messages at the perfect time.
After receiving them, Marsha said, “…I instantly felt better.” Of course. She fully embodied, right then, that expanded self she met in the dream.
Now, Marsha’s story is not unique. Me and all my clients experience our versions of exactly the same sequence of events. This story is inspiring. But it’s also more than inspiring. It’s instructional. It shows how dreams can:
Help us process emotional energy too overwhelming to resolve in wake state.
Use symbolic language tailored to our personality and preferences.
Release resistance in ways we don’t have to consciously understand.
Prepare us to receive inspiration and act from alignment, not pressure.
And if we CAN bring conscious awareness to the process, our appreciation – of ourselves, of our expanded nature, of life in general, grows.
Most importantly, it shows that waking life and dream life are not separate. They are part of the same vibrational conversation.
The Relationship That Makes It All Possible
Marsha didn’t get lucky and these events weren’t random. She got receptive and then manifested what some would call a miracle. Her willingness to trust the process, rest when tired, and explore her dreams made the difference.
That willingness is what we cultivate in the Positively Focused practice. By “cultivate” I don’t mean working hard at it, but by nurturing the one relationship that makes everything else make sense: Our relationship with our Inner Being. That relationship is the source of every insight, every dream, and every inspired action. And it’s available to everyone.
We don’t have to wrestle our way through resistance, we can rest our way into clarity. We can dream our way into power, freedom and our sovereignty. And we can become people who feel good first, and let life match that frequency.
TL;DR: In this, the final part of a six-part story, the author reflects on the multidimensional manifestation they shared where everyone—Jane, Sally, Alba, and even the author themselves—thrived through vibrational alignment, not effort. It’s the Charmed Life in action.
Now that the dust has settled, I want to paint the full picture of this manifestation between Jane and Sally. Alba too. Because this wasn’t just a firing. It wasn’t just a contract negotiation. It was a multidimensional, multi-human manifestation—a divinely orchestrated expansion with no losers.
Everyone won, including me. Including Alba. For Alba, the prize was re-emerging into the pure, positive perspective of All That Is, while still maintaining her individual consciousness, now expanded. No resistance, just joy.
Let’s recap the other wins:
Sally got clarity, confirmation, and a launchpad for her own venture.
Jane got a new $10,000 client she didn’t lift a finger to attract.
The customer organization got a more aligned, responsive partner.
I got to keep Sally as a client and witness another miracle from the practice unfolding as this story.
This is what alignment does. Alignment doesn’t play favorites. It uplifts all parties. It calibrates life to match our becoming. But seeing that happen requires a particular focus.
Reframing the “Hard Work” Myth
When Jane’s friends heard about her new $10K contract, they rushed to credit her performance. “You earned it,” they said. “You’re so good at what you do.”
But they missed the magic. Jane hadn’t done anything extraordinary—yet. The value hadn’t even been delivered. The increase came because of alignment, not action.
This is how deeply the “hard work equals success” myth runs. We reflexively celebrate the doing and ignore the being. But it was Jane’s shift in vibration—despite all the contrast—that opened the floodgates. And Sally? She hadn’t “earned” her sovereign launch through labor either. Instead, Sally aligned. Then she received the more she allowed.
Also, let’s not forget I had my own calibration moment in this story. When Jane told me she might fire Sally, and another client contemplated downgrading their session frequency (that other client decided not to), I felt a flicker of scarcity.
But I knew what to do. I went into the park and soothed the belief. I remembered: My income comes through clients, not from them. And the Universe always makes up the difference—with interest. Sure enough, that alignment gave me everything: My income didn’t dip. Both clients stayed. And my trust deepened.
No One Left Behind
The most extraordinary part of this entire story? No one got left out. Not even Alba.
The customer got an upgraded contract, the contractor found greater alignment and a new version of her business. The fired employee is on a new journey. Even the coach benefited. As did you, dear reader. Wasn’t this a lovely story?
This is what I call the Charmed Life. The version of reality where everyone wins.
And the only way to get there? Through alignment. It’s available to everyone. We could even say everyone is living it, they just can’t see it subsumed in negative momentum born of negative beliefs.
But my clients and I see it. And we revel in it as much as we can. That’s because we know the more we do that, the more of the Charmed Life we get.
So if you’re facing contrast right now, remember: it’s not punishment or failure. The contrast instead is the Universe reorganizing itself around your expansion. Stay aligned. Stay open. Keep a positive focus.
