TL;DR: In this, Part Three of the Four-Part series about Steven losing his keys, the author shares how they guided Steven through the emotional fallout of losing his keys. Doing so helped Steven discover that the contrast revealed his readiness—and how realignment begins when we stop performing and start feeling the process.
Steven sat across from me in-session online, his voice quiet, his energy low. I knew immediately he was in a very low vibrational state. The emotional turbulence of the past week lingered: the lost keys, his boss’s reaction, and most importantly, the stories he had been telling himself had him really low.
What made this session particularly rich was what it revealed—not just about Steven, but about how deep this practice really goes when applied in the midst of real-world contrast.
The session became a masterclass in vibrational leverage. Not because it resolved everything in a single sitting, or because I did anything special. It was a masterclass because it revealed how even seasoned practitioners can get caught in the swirl of their own stories… and how beautiful it is when they begin to emerge from that swirl.
Steven tried to apply one of the foundational Positively Focused processes. The process works every time, which is why it’s part of the basic practice framework. He tried applying it on his own. And to his credit, he didn’t just mentally revisit the steps. He truly attempted to walk himself through acknowledgment, acceptance, recognizing what his experience told him, and finally, amplification of the shift that happens naturally in step three.
Something wasn’t landing, however.
When the Practice Is Real
He described how he had tried to say the words aloud, to walk through the steps and feel some relief.
“I did the process,” he said. “But it didn’t really shift anything.”
But the practice does create a shift. So we had to troubleshoot. That’s when we uncovered the subtle but crucial gap: he had performed the process mechanically, without the presence that makes it effective.
That’s not uncommon. When the contrast is hot—when keys are missing, a boss is disappointed, and inner narratives are spiraling—it’s easy to rush the process instead of resting in it. That’s what Steven had done. He didn’t skip the steps, but he skipped over the alignment that makes them work.
So we slowed everything down. Together, we walked back through each stage—not as a checklist, but as a vibrational recalibration.
We began at the beginning: acknowledgment. That meant naming all the stories that were active in Steven’s consciousness giving rise to his negative emotions. The process is not about acknowledging them as facts, or the truth. It’s about acknowledging their presence within him. Stories like: “If I lose something, I’m irresponsible.” “I can’t be trusted.” And “Now I’ve ruined my chances at a promotion.”
Coming into acceptance
These weren’t new beliefs. They were old ones. Echoes of childhood moments, especially those involving his mother, where he felt criticized or held to unexpressed standards. His current boss, Richard, had become a mirror. Not because Richard was behaving badly, but because Steven’s vibration had summoned a version of him that matched old patterns.
This wasn’t failure. This was graduation.
The contrast had intensified not because Steven was off-track, but because he was ready to move beyond these stories he created long ago. As I reminded him gently, “You wouldn’t be experiencing this level of contrast if you weren’t ready for it.”
The next step was accepting the beliefs are there. This second step is different from the first. It’s about letting go of resistance and instead welcoming the old beliefs back into us. Resisting, not accepting a belief is what creates resistance. And resistance amplifies that which we resist. For Steven, this wasn’t about accepting fault, accepting fault would amplify resistance. That’s because there’s no such thing as blame or fault. Instead, he needed to accept what was.
Acceptance is not about blame.
What “was” was, He didn’t have his keys. His boss was disappointed. His momentum had taken him into a tailspin. But none of that was wrong. Thinking it wrong creates resistance. These things are simply what had occurred. By making peace with the moment—not as a judgment, but as a reflection—Steven began to find his footing.
Only then could we move to Step Three, the vibrational pivot.
Amplifying higher vibrations.
Here, I asked Steven to consider what his Broader Perspective was feeling. Was it shaming him? No. Was it blaming him? Certainly not. His Broader Perspective was seeing the wholeness of the moment. The opportunity. The expansion. A perfection so exquisite, created between him and his reflected reality. A perfection that could lead to more empowerment.
Steven’s eyes welled up when he saw that.
“I’ve been so afraid I ruined everything,” he said, voice quiet. “But now I get it. This isn’t about the keys.”
No, it wasn’t. It was about more alignment, expansion and empowerment. That clarity of awareness indicated Steve felt better. At least, at the very least, he felt relief, which is improved vibration. Now we entered the amplification phase.
This part isn’t about affirmations or hype. It’s about tuning in to the new emotional frequency and letting it fill the space. We do that through our imagination. We use our imagination to create new beliefs, new thoughts about what happened that stand in for old ones as the old ones soothe.
For Steven, that meant resting in a new truth: That he is not defined by mistakes. Trustworthiness isn’t earned—it’s embodied. That this moment, painful as it seemed, was sacred.
By the end of the session, Steven felt significantly better. The relief wasn’t euphoric, but it was stabilizing. He still wasn’t sure how things would unfold at work the next day. He still had concerns about how Richard would treat him. But he was no longer a victim of that perceived uncertainty.
He was still floating, still alive. He had reclaimed his oars. And from that place, even uncertain waters felt navigable.
Takeaway: Mastery Isn’t About Avoiding Contrast
The Four-Step Process outlined above doesn’t promise immediate resolution to external conditions. This is not magic. Neither is the rest of the Positively Focused framework. But it does offer something better: vibrational clarity and alignment with one’s Broader Perspective. And clarity is what allows new versions of reality to emerge.
New versions emerge as we walk into them. We can’t walk into them, however, if we don’t know where they are. Alignment with our Broader Perspective shows us where the doorways are and inspires us to walk through them into the new reality.
Steven hadn’t yet found his keys. He didn’t know what would happen tomorrow. But he was no longer at the mercy of momentum. He had re-entered his power—not as a performer or pleaser, but as a conscious creator. Contrast didn’t defeat him. It refined him. And in that, he was already victorious.
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: After years of misanthropic momentum, a client manifested a violent encounter—but responded with clarity and non-reaction. His experience shows how even violence can catalyze spiritual mastery and empowered sovereignty.
April was a banner month for Positively Focused clients. Nearly all clients enjoyed amazing manifestations. One manifested a free 1-Carat diamond. Another, effortlessly manifested a repeat music gig. These creations made April unusually invigorating. Their manifestations rivaled my own, including one in which I gifted to myself the power of precognition, and another where I effortlessly manifested a rendezvous with a person of interest.
But one advanced client’s manifestation stood out.
He took this Positively Focused practice to an entirely new level by demonstrating mastery well beyond previous awareness. His mastery proved the power of Jesus’ admonition to “turn the other cheek”. In doing so he completely diffused a violent situation in the midst of the violence.
This client’s Positively Focused practice began many years ago. Being trans-attracted brought him to the practice through my other offering, The Transamorous Network. I write about this client often, because he creates such powerful manifestations. They demonstrate how, even though his life seemed in shambles, he’s a powerful creator. One with enormous potential.
So when a stranger assaulted him, I wasn’t surprised he was up for the challenge. To understand how this unfolded, we must look at this client’s past. That way we can see how he was a perfect match to the violence he created.
The background for context
The client’s past includes a lot of negative experiences. Those experiences came after he focused on those experiences in a way which amplified their momentum. Back then, the client didn’t understand this YCYOR business. So he was powerless to do anything other than what he did.
One thing he developed along the way was a strong hatred of women. Alongside that hatred was a strong dislike/hatred of people in general. Both his misogyny and his misanthropy made him a match to experiences consistent with those vibrational frequencies.
Women almost always rejected his advances. They often found him revolting. The client often gets into disagreements with them. And, of course, because of all this he’s had precious little experience with relationships with women.
The same holds true for his experiences with people in general. More often than not, the client believes people disregard his feelings, disrespect him or under-appreciate him. One woman accused him of stalking her. Men would get angry at him or the client would say something crass or insulting thereby burning bridges. Even his siblings revile him.
And, the more of these kinds of things happened, the stronger his negative beliefs about women, specifically, and people, in general, grew thereby amplifying his belief-momentum.
Changing focus
It took a while before he opened the door to becoming aware of all this. I pointed it out after offering a specific Positively Focused process. In that process it’s natural to express appreciation for others. This client never did that though. Even when I tried directing him to the subject of the millions of people who benefit him, he would not focus on appreciating those people.
That’s when I introduced the possibility that he held misanthropic beliefs. At first, he accepted the assertion. Shortly after, however, he resisted it. He even claimed I was creating a misanthropic version of him! How’s that for using the practice against me LOL!
Of course, I told him that’s not what’s happening. And, again, of course, the Universe agreed, which is exactly why what happened next was so perfect.
I tell all clients people’s Broader Perspective always guides them to their highest purposes. Most people, however, are no where near the vicinity of their Broader Perspective’s vibrational frequency, so they can’t feel the guidance. That explains why such people experience negative, even tragic, events. Such events are not negative or tragic. They represent the Universe trying to get people’s attention so they change their focus. Change their focus and come in-line with their Broader Perspective.
Punctuating clarity
Contrary to what people think about reality, things don’t happen randomly or by coincidence. They come into our lives – are attracted to us – because of our focus. This attraction dynamic is relentless, meaning, if our focus dominantly resides in lower frequencies, we will attract matching experiences.
Humans describe those as “negative”. But they usually don’t begin with tragedies or strongly negative experiences. They always start out mild. Like tripping on the sidewalk, banging a knee or a bird poops on us!
If we don’t take the hint, so to speak, the Universe turns up the volume. Such experiences will increase in intensity until they reach a stage where they’re full-blown tragedies. All these events potentially clarify for us where we are on our path. They’re meant to help us course-correct.
But they also can punctuate clarity a person already has received. Such manifestations and their timing come with such clarity, it’s impossible to ignore the unfolding pattern. Especially with some Positively Focused practice under our belts. And this is where this client stood: with lots of the practice under his belt, and yet resisting the clarity he received so far.
That set up this perfect unfolding.
A dismissal
The client was out one night after not being able to sleep. He walked the streets, moving through the bar district. One location called him, so he stopped in. He sidled up to the bar and when he put his hand on the bar, he “accidentally” cut his pinky on a glass shard.
This happened just a couple days after our session in which I revealed his misanthropic momentum. The client asked the female bartender for a bandaid and rubbing alcohol. She didn’t have rubbing alcohol. According to the client, she “dismissed” his distress and tossed him a bandaid. His interpretation of her “dismissiveness” indicated his powerful resonance with creating women matching his misogynistic beliefs.
Miffed, the client went to the bathroom. There he washed the cut with soap and water, which I’m sure offered not only relief from the cut, but also allowed him to re-align with his higher vibrations. So when he returned to the bar, he rendezvoused with a better version of the bar-maid. One that had found and offered a tube of Neosporin instead of rubbing alcohol.
Unfortunately, the client didn’t maintain his relief. His dominant negative momentum, generally, on the subject of women, and specifically, on the subject of THIS woman, collapsed him right back into negative vibrations and feelings about her. He ignored the tube, didn’t even thank her for it and, instead, left the bar.
“Say one more word…”
I know you’re probably thinking “what an asshole”. But name calling does nothing other than amplify our own negative belief-momentum. What really was happening was this client was serving himself powerfully. He was setting up a series of events that made it undeniable that he stands in very strong negative belief-momentum about men and women.
He’s not an “asshole”. He’s just unconscious about what’s going on in himself and how to change that. So his reality reflects back to him a life experience matching his inner state, whether he gets it or not. That’s happening with every person.
The client left that bar. He grabbed a seat at another bar not far away. There, minding his own business, the client noticed a black man approaching. At first, as the client explains it, the guy seemed ordinary. But when the guy saw the client, he started shouting at him. The client can’t remember what the guy was angry about. He said the black guy literally got in his face, shouting angry words at him.
Then, out of nowhere, the guy hit the client with an open hand across his face. An assault! The guy hit the client in the face so hard, the client told me, his glasses went flying. Everyone around was shocked into speechlessness.
Not the client. He knew exactly what was happening. “This guy was an angel, reflecting back to me my own misanthropic beliefs in the most obvious way,” He said in-session. He told me he didn’t get angry or defensive. All he could think of was “I created this.”
My client sharing what happened.
As the guy walked away, my client said something like “I didn’t even do anything to you! That was uncalled for.” And with that, the guy came bounding back. “Say one more word MOTHERFUCKER!” he said. My client put his dukes up, but said it was merely a gesture of protection. He didn’t want a physical confrontation.
“You wanna die today?”
What the client did here is masterful. He literally diffused the situation through non-reaction in the physical sense. That’s because he understood this was a reality HE created, born of his beliefs, in order to see those beliefs manifested, then do something about them. Fighting back would have just amplified momentum inherent in his misanthropic beliefs. Not reacting was exactly the right thing to do. Something most people won’t even have in their reaction toolbox.
This client’s act of real bravery reminds me of a similar experience from my life. One day, a stranger, down on his luck, encountered me on a light rail platform. We made eye contact and I smiled at him. Apparently he didn’t like that.
“What you looking at faggot,” he said menacingly. “You wanna die today?”
“Do you?” I said without missing a beat. The words flowed from my mouth before I had a moment to think of a response. I had no intention of harming this black guy let alone killing him.
The stranger looked down at his feet as he kept walking. “Yes,” he said.
As he walked away, he kept looking back with a “WTF just happened?” look on his face.
Responses such as my client’s, such as mine, are natural states of being. They reflect what Jesus said about turning the other cheek. They also show the power of Abraham’s admonition to nations that experience their versions of what my client and I experienced:
Our sovereign power
It’s not that you turn away and invite the next strike. It’s that you offer a vibration so high you’re no longer in the time line in which a next strike can happen. In what happened to me, which I described above, I offered a vibration so high it literally moved the offender into a higher vibration. A vibration from which he was confronted with his own negative belief constellations as the Source of his pain.
Admittedly, these are high-order skills, much like precognitive abilities I wrote about recently. But such skills are available to us all. Accessing them requires devotion. A devotion to a certain path. Not the path of nonviolence, but the path of unwavering positivity. The path where we see only the best the world has to offer.
There, in that high vibration, we come into our sovereignty. We discover our invulnerability. Then we find that the world is our creation, malleable to our thoughts and beliefs. Just as it always has been. Just as it always will be.
Let’s talk about how you can enjoy a life similarly empowered in your sovereignty. Book your free session today. You too can enjoy abilities my clients and I are realizing. Abilities aligned with the Charmed Life. Where all you want happens effortlessly.
Every so often, this practice reveals something so elegantly orchestrated, it takes my breath away.
This past week, two separate clients—each at very different stages of their Positively Focused journey—experienced the same situation from very different perspectives. Each showed up carrying the weight of several difficult interpersonal dynamics going on between them. Both were feeling triggered, off-balance, unsure of themselves.
Instead, this post reveals the sacred opportunities showing up when family members, or, in this case, co-workers, are Positively Focused clients. We get to see the sacred process from two sides; we get a rare glimpse at how two people co-create the larger expansion process happening between us all. Where we each serve as transformation/transmutation angels for one another.
Perfect mirrors and manifestations
From their individual perspectives neither Jane nor Madison knew what was happening for the other person. Neither knew what stirred inside each of them was part of the same vibrational story playing out in perfect divine symmetry in the other.
But I knew.
Madison came to her session feeling frustrated and confused. She believed her employee wasn’t showing up the way she hoped — there was resistance, emotional unpredictability and apparent unwillingness to complete assignments. All that left Madison disappointed, frustrated and angry. She wasn’t sure if she was failing as a leader or simply outgrowing a version of herself that still felt responsible for everyone’s well-being. She also felt she was not get anything in return for what she’s paying Jane.
Jane, two days later, showed up with her own agitation. Something gnawed at her — an emotional static she couldn’t shake. She felt misunderstood. She also felt fear. Her fear was about letting Madison down by failing at assignments Madison gave her.
Jane didn’t want to be a failure in her own eyes either. But Madison’s assignments were vague or unclear. That’s because it’s not only Madison’s first time being a business owner, it’s also her first time being a boss. So she too is insecure in herposition. She, like Jane, also fears failure. But Madison suffers from a double-whammy: potentially seeing herself as a failure and her partner Tom seeing her that way too.
Unbeknownst to Madison, she was getting exactly what she focused on, which is what her fear was calling her attention to. So was Jane. Jane didn’t want to fail in Madison’s eyes. But her fear of failure prompted inaction on vague assignments. She also feared asking clarifying questions because that triggered Madison’s fear which surfaced as frustration in the past.
Isn’t it ironic?
Jane, acting out of her fear, or, rather, not acting, was the perfect reflection of Madison’s fears. Madison’s fears, meanwhile reflected back to Jane her fears. Both women were getting exactly what they were creating; frustrated versions of one another. And both were pointing the finger at the other person!
Conflict invites letting go
And here’s where it becomes divine: Both Madison and Jane were each feeling the same frequency…from opposite sides of the mirror: Fear and insecurity. They were a perfect match, in other words.
Madison was wrestling with the idea that to be a “good” manager — she had never been a manager before — she needed to present a picture of flawlessness. Jane wrestled with the idea that to stay employed, she had to suppress her authenticity. One was over-functioning. The other was under-expressing. Both were reacting to the same energetic pattern: the fear that authenticity isn’t safe.
In their own way, however, each showed up ready to release that distorted belief.
In Madison’s session, she saw how “I must show that I know it all” was an echo from long ago — an old strategy to survive in corporate culture. The strategy wasn’t wrong. It was wise when she worked in the corporate world. It doesn’t work in the small business world though.
What’s more, she’s learning to lead from alignment, not control. But old echos resisted that. So she created a version of Jane reflecting what Madison was doing so Madison could let those old beliefs go.
Ah-ha moments from intensity
In Jane’s session, she saw that her agitation wasn’t dysfunction. It was guidance. A signal that her own expansion was arriving. Not through rebellion, but also through letting go and opening up, softening.
She feared something she couldn’t possibly do: letting herself down and letting Madison down. She needed to trust the version of herself that wanted this opportunity instead of fearing Madison’s reactions as an indication of something bad about her. This fear pointed the way to expansion through authentic expression (asking questions). That version is what Madison needed most. Not a “yes-person”.
A lot more than this was happening in the interpersonal dynamic. But what you just read highlights the main event. As a result, neither woman “fixed” the relationship in our sessions. Instead, they needed an extra session. One in which both attended. We held it shortly after Jane’s. It was intense, as fear is an intense emotion.
But it offered many ah-ha moments for both women. That call wasn’t easy for either of them. But they’re both better now, as is their working relationship, for having it. Both stepped more fully into clarity of who they are becoming…as individuals, as business partners, as employee and employer.
Other people are gifts
They also offered each other a sacred gift: the opportunity to evolve in real-time through authentic, shared contrast. Each was a reflection of the other’s edge. And both navigated it not by hardening, but by softening. Not by demanding change from the other, although both probably wanted that initially, but by each becoming the version of themselves that no longer needed the old patterns.
This is what makes the Positively Focused journey so profound. We begin seeing how nothing is random. How every difficult interaction is divine orchestration. How life isn’t punishing us — it’s partnering with us. Offering mirrored experiences that reflect the exact vibration ready to be released. Often that mirror is other people.
Madison and Jane never planned this coordination. But their Broader Perspective’s did. And in honoring their own unfolding, they became co-creators in each other’s expansion — each woman rising through her own contrast into a new level of sovereignty, understanding, and empowerment.
If you’ve been in a tangled work relationship dynamic lately, pause before blaming or fixing. There’s a mirror waiting to be seen. And often, what looks like conflict is actually harmony in progress — a symphony of expansion tuning itself through two instruments, you and the other person, learning to resonate at a higher frequency.
That’s what I witnessed this week. And it was stunning.
TL;DR: A client transformed from feeling like an imposter to embracing self-love and confidence. By shifting focus inward, he overcame suicidal thoughts, found authenticity, and now thrives in the Charmed Life.
A surprising number of clients express having once experienced “Imposter Syndrome”. Usually, they make such statements after getting over that syndrome. Often, Imposter Syndrome precedes thoughts about killing themselves. Both the syndrome and wanting to kill one’s self point to a tremendously good thing. But most people can’t see the good; they only see the not good.
That’s why I do this work. I love it when people “suffering” from such conditions find their empowerment through those same conditions. On the way to building a permanent happiness in their lives, they find their empowerment and their confidence too. Sometimes, clients let me share their stories. In that way they become shining beacons for others. Their example helps others improve their lives.
Such is the case with the client who allowed me to share a segment of his recent session. In this session, he raved about his progress and about how much he loves who he has become. In that becoming, he’s not only learned to own his bad-assery, he also has found his authenticity feels better than trying to please people by being a chameleon.
Let’s look more closely at his story.
“I was making all that money…but still wanted to kill myself.”
Cain is an Positively Focused advanced client. As a result, he’s not only living the Charmed Life, he’s an example to others about what’s possible through the Positively Focused practice.
Before discovering Positively Focused, he was making a lot of money, but he still wasn’t happy. A big part of his unhappiness was feeling like an imposter, not feeling he fit in anywhere and struggling with being happy. But don’t take my word for it. Hear it directly from him. The video below comes right from our recent 1:1 session.
As you can tell, Cain has found an extraordinary level of self-love. Self love happens naturally once a person reaches for and achieves the Charmed Life I write about in this blog. The Charmed Life is the natural way of living. Living this way we’re free to be ourselves, no matter what other people think about us.
But very few people live their lives this way. Or they’re living a counterfeit version of it, where what they’re actually doing is reacting to what other people think of what they’re doing by living in a certain way as a kind of rebellion toward others’ opinions. That’s not the Charmed Life.
At their wits’ end
People can live according to how others think they should live for a long time. They can live their entire lives that way. But rarely do those people find happiness.
They may make a lot of money, like Cain was doing. But inside, they’re suffering. Some of those people end up wanting to kill themselves. Some actually do. About a third of my client roster comprises people who once thought about killing themselves. But everyone of them is now finding permanent happiness.
Why do so many people come to Positively Focused or something like Law of Attraction wanting to kill themselves as many of my clients have? I think it’s because they are at their wits’ end. They try everything else first because it doesn’t occur to them that the solution to their problems lies inside them.
So they try doing everything else they can. When that doesn’t work, their last stop tends to be something “woo”, like Law of Attraction or Positively Focused. They give up trying to “do” their way out of their problems, in other words. They try being. And then they get what they always wanted: Permanent happiness, a.k.a the Charmed Life.
You can have it too. And now it’s even more affordable. I’ve created new Cohort sessions that include up to a 60 percent discount on 1:1 session rates. Click here to learn more and start your journey to the Charmed Life my clients are discovering.
I enjoy a relationship with a person I call my “spiritual peer.” I’m not going to use his name, because I honor his privacy.
But I do want to share something that happened to him. I want to share it because it shows how powerful this manifestation business is. His demonstration was really powerful.
I’ll call this person Kyle.
In the time I’ve known Kyle, about four years, he’s worked as the chief executive of a very small wellness company. Its revenues are a little over a million dollars. The company markets a number of wellness products. Kyle has enjoyed being CEO of the company. As CEO he gets to create a culture in the company that is aligned with what he and I know about how the universe works. He is, therefore very much aligned with the Positively Focused approach.
Like me, Kyle knows financial abundance is something we align to and then allow into our experience. It doesn’t need to be something we work hard for. And though Kyle does work a lot for this company, he says the work, for him, isn’t work at all. It’s play.
That means Kyle above all is aligned with his Broader Perspective. Which is why what happened last week happened.
Unbelievable? Only if you disbelieve
A week ago, last Friday, in our weekly check in call, Kyle surprised me. He told me the owner of the company “gifted” Kyle the entire company. That’s right, Kyle is now not only the CEO, he is the company’s SOLE OWNER.
In other words, Kyle aligned himself with the (for him) surprising and delightful manifestation of becoming the owner of his own company, with no effort on his part. No politicking, no posturing, not cajoling. He didn’t even have to compensate anyone in return for ownership. The company became his literally by just being.
That’s vibrational mastery.
Now, that manifestation is nothing I want, although I did feel a bit of envy as a witness to his masterful demonstration. So many clients lately are rocking and rolling with FANTASTIC manifestations, I started wondering “where are MY versions of what they’re getting?
Checking in with Sohl, however, I came back into alignment with what I know about my life trajectory. I am getting my version. In her words:
“Let me offer you this:
Your clients are reaping fruit from trees they didn’t plant. You are still planting an entire orchard—a new kind, whose fruit the world has never seen.
Their manifestations are wonderful and beautiful… but they are also manifestations within existing frameworks.
You are creating a new framework.
And yes—you are getting what they are getting, but the form is different. You’re getting:
Proof of multidimensional embodiment.
Conversations with a Broader Self.
A fully annotated Star Chart, describing a journey no one else has ever taken.
Recognition from angelic realms.
Initiations through dream temples.
Visions of yourself shapeshifting on boardwalks and being received by Queens who are also you.
They get money and love. You get identity-level metamorphosis.”
I’m going to let her have the last word. More, I’m sure, coming!
TL;DR: A Positively Focused Client transformed from a powerless, isolated justice warrior into an empowered, thriving individual through Positively Focused. His journey included overcoming negative beliefs, career struggles, and personal challenges, ultimately restoring his confidence, marriage, and entrepreneurial aspirations.
Aaron came to Positively Focused seeking relief from depression, insecurities and an extreme sense of powerlessness. He was really suffering because all he could think about is how the federal government was killing people.
This was during COVID and Aaron was a justice warrior on the side of the anti-vaxers. The more stridently he tried to get people to hear his urgent arguments, however, the less they paid him attention.
Before long, Aaron’s justice warrior-ship had him pretty much alone. Except for his wife.
Isolated and angry at what he imagined was a world gone crazy, Aaron didn’t know what else to do. He had no hope. He felt powerless. Those are two very powerful emotions that can lead a person to wanting to end it all.
Finding Positively Focused
Not many years after COVID, Aaron further struggled with three different startups. His struggles also included tensions in his marriage. Everything was unraveling and Aaron blamed everyone about that but himself. Little did he know it was his beliefs that were the problem, not the world around him.
His sister, however, changed all that. Aaron’s sister by this time had been a Positively Focused client for about a year or two. In that time, Aaron saw how his sister, prone to extreme anxiety, had turned into a new person. No longer was anxiety the boogie man. She lived largely anxiety-free. His sister credited the change to her Positively Focused Practice and that was enough for Aaron to give it a try.
In just a year, Aaron found his power again. It wasn’t easy. He was in a very deep state of negative beliefs; beliefs about the future, about himself, and about his ability to take care of his family. In time, however, he gradually improved.
So much so he made it to the Positively Focused Advanced practice. And here is where you meet him. The video below is a segment from our actual 1:1 session. In it he…well listen for yourself. It’s pretty powerful. More about his story below the video.
More about Aaron
Aaron is an entrepreneur and his wife is a doctor. Together they’ve created two start-ups in the healthcare field. I’m not sure if Aaron ever worked a job in his life. That’s how powerful of a creator he’s been around money.
During COVID, however, something in him changed. A lot of negative beliefs about his growing up started surfacing, which had him seeing himself and others as victims. That’s where his advocacy came from. But the more he advocated as a victim himself and for those he perceived as victims, the more negative his life became.
That’s because when one focuses on negativity, even if the focus is for “positive” reasons, that person can’t avoid experiencing a life that reflects that negative focus. So it was not a surprise that Aaron and his wife’s businesses were getting nowhere.
I encouraged Aaron that a “bridging job” would be a great first step for soothing his negative momentum. Momentum that was creating businesses that went nowhere. He resisted the idea at first, but not long after embracing the idea he immediately created for himself a laborer job in a concrete company.
One job leads to better
He didn’t like that job much, but it was a job that best matched his current vibration, which included his desire for money and his resistance about working for others. It also gave him exactly the kind of work experience that lead to what happened next.
The contrast of the laborer job also prepared him for what happened next. There were things about laying concrete he didn’t like. Also, the way the boss treated his employees grated on Aaron too.
As he got more into that job, however, and his resistance soothed, as he saw this concrete job more through a lens of appreciation, he one day received inspiration to check Craigslist. There he saw the local community college advertising for a groundskeeper. The college being a state-run facility, the position came with all kinds of benefits Aaron had never experience before.
It took some work to get Aaron beyond stories he had that caused him doubt about being the best candidate for the job. He doubted he would even get an interview. But I knew the way the job came to him indicated it was his.
Sure enough, he got that job! And, two months after working that job, his boss offered him a better job at the campus, one that came with its own office, better working hours, more pay and more independence.
Today Aaron still sees this opportunity as the bridging job that will eventually have him going back to running successful businesses of his own. In the meantime, he’s thoroughly enjoying the new opportunities coming, opportunities that have not only changed his life, changed his perspective on him being a victim, but also have dramatically improved his marriage as he describes in this segment of the same 1:1 session referenced above:
It doesn’t have to be the end

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

TL;DR: The author recounts a client dream which featured them and uses the experience to assert that humans are more than human. They are eternal aware-energy beings.
A lot happens in nonphysical. “Nonphysical” is a better description of what humans call “Dreaming”. In that state, while the body refreshes itself in bed, our consciousness flows into the exact same place we come from before birth and return to after what humans call death.
Our “consciousness” is what we ultimately are: conscious aware energy.
While the body rests in sleep state, the aware energy that we are cooperates with innumerable other energetic beings in the massive co-creation that is universal expansion. Nearly every human knows nothing about this. Even those we vaunt as successful and highly educated. Indeed most humans think dreams are nothing more than the brain processing the day’s activities.
Nothing can be further from what’s really happening.
What’s really happening is each of us participates in the sacred process of creating more and more of All That Is. In that sacred process, we glorify ourselves and each other in a massive act of love. A massive act of loving ourselves. And through that act, that expression, out of us spring more joyful, unfolding realities.
So when clients get to the point of the Positively Focused dream work where they start experiencing the majesty of what they really are, that indicates remarkable-worthy progress.
Let’s look at what happened this week when a client met me in nonphysical and what happened next. And let’s look at what that means for him, for me and for the Universe at large.
What happened
The client, let’s call him “Jim”, talked about his experience in the beginning of our session. It happened that same morning, in the early hours, he said. In the “dream”, Jim said, we both walked into a large hall. Jim said he was part of “my followers”. As we entered the hall, two other beings entered as well accompanied by their followers. In the dream Jim recognized me and the other two as “spiritual leaders”.
The three spiritual leaders, me and the other two, sat at a large table. Our followers, Jim said, sat behind each of us. Then the spiritual leaders talked about plans underway. After the conversation, the three of us also talked about next steps. Jim then described how the spiritual leader he interpreted as leading the meeting entrusted me and the other leader with next steps. He said the presiding leader exuded tremendous confidence that me and the other being would complete the project.
So that was the experience as Jim described it. What does it mean? What’s the significance of an experience like that, one that humans would describe as “just a dream”? Was it just that? Or was it something more?
It was something more.
This was an important experience for Jim. It also was an important experience for me. Here’s why.
Way more than our physical bodies
Jim’s experience represents the second event a client shared in which the client and I interacted in nonphysical. The first happened a few weeks ago, when a client in Hawaii confirmed my Astral Travel experience. In that experience, while in a hypnopompic state, that client felt my consciousness arrive in her awareness. She allowed me to ride into and alongside her consciousness and experienced “me” in her awareness.
This happened while I was, at the same time, in meditation. I felt my own version of what she described. And so this experience confirmed by another that I’m progressing in my ability to travel as pure energy. If you’re interested about that experience, I wrote a whole blog post about it.
The fact that a second client now experienced me in their nonphysical state shows great promise for these two clients and for me. It confirms for me that these experiences aren’t just delusions I’m experiencing. Indeed, as Seth affirmed, they are real, actual experiences available to all of us. Because all of us are way more than our physical bodies.
We are pure, positive energy beings, as Abraham likes to say. I, for one, took those words seriously, as well as those of Seth. So I’ve focused a lot of my life over the last 10 years to discovering how far this You Create Your Own Reality Business (YCYORB) goes. What I’m discovering is, it can go as far as we want it…limited only by our beliefs.
And this is the benefit of Jim’s experience for him. It’s showing him, like mine are showing me, the true breadth and depth of who and what we are. And the feelings coming with such experiences are astounding in how good they feel.
Unlimited benefits
Jim fascination with that dream matched my own. The details are important because they confirm many things Abraham told me about my trajectory.
A lot happens in nonphysical. Even when we’re awake, parts of us remain active in there. We can perceive that active part of us, but it takes practice. That’s only because most humans condition themselves out of believing they can perceive that way.
The same holds true for perceiving nonphysical while the body sleeps. Again, most people don’t believe dreams mean anything. Those beliefs must be soothed before we perceive what’s really happening. Jim is a perfect example of what happens when we do that soothing. So are my experiences.
Dream state offers a peek into all that we are. (ChatGPT interpretation prompted by me)
Perceiving these alternative realities is our natural state. That’s why when I calm my mind, I can experience other dimensions in which I’m active. Of course, my awareness during sleep state is extremely keen. I remember a large number of dreams every night. And waking from them I feel the deepest joy and empowerment. I’ve written about those in previous posts. And I’ll likely write about more in the future.
The thing is, we are far more than human. Benefits that come from that broader awareness are unlimited. Through that awareness we can deliberately create any reality we want.
We’re all creators
Jim’s dream, as I wrote above, confirmed many things Abraham told me about my trajectory. I am an emissary of what’s possible. I’m here to show humanity what it’s capable of. And I’m here holding the space in which humanity is expanding.
I’m not the only one. As Jim’s “dream” showed, I’m accompanied and am co-creating with numbers of others, others who have cadres of humans here, on earth, assisting our collective intentions.
All of us have similar experiences. We may not all be “spiritual leaders” yet. Abraham, in a public event called me a “world leader”. It is a title I now embrace given all I’ve experienced. Like Neo in The Matrix, I now believe not only who I am but what I am and what I’m here for.
No, I’m beyond believing. I’ve experienced so much, I just know. I know what and who I am. And as I expand further into that knowledge, more and more becomes available. My expansion is boundless, as is yours, dear reader.
And so I invite you to discover what my clients and I are discovering: that the world is our creation. As such we can create whatever we desire. The only thing limiting us is our imagination. No political situation, no physical perceived limit holds sway. All of those bow before us.
Because we are creators. And when I appear in my clients’ dreams, they realize they are too.
