Late last week I wrote a post about science and love. I highlighted a client experience showing how disempowering scientific interpretations of reality can be. In this post, I want to point out another gift that conversation brought. One that shows how all of us humans are divine, naturally connected to All That Is and therefore predisposed to the Charmed Life.
If that’s the case, if we are predisposed to the Charmed Life, why do so many humans not live that? The answer lies in the text conversation this client and I had. More specifically, what he texted after I showed him a more imaginative way to look at his “lovesickness” than through scientific lenses. Here’s what he wrote. Let’s look at it again:
The client writes about his ability to “see outside of a reductionist scientific view” of the world. He talks about seeing the Universe as it is: “a conscious one made of love and beauty.”
That’s a beautiful way to put it. It’s also accurate in the extreme. When this client sees the world that way, I’m sure he feels empowerment, joy, connection and what humans call love. Seeing the world that way is a guaranteed outcome of the Positively Focused practice and a hallmark of the Charmed Life. The practice makes that way of seeing habitual or chronic. Through that lens, one can see the world unfolding perfectly, with one’s desires fulfilling themselves right before one’s eyes.
That’s such an empowering place from which to live. So why does this client choose scientific lenses rather than lenses of empowerment?
It’s generational
The same reason most humans do it. In a word: “habituation”.
Each successive generation comes into the world through the generation before it. Those previous generations think their job is to teach the young how to move through the world.
It’s not their job to do that though. But they act as though it is.
Previous generations invariably get caught up in disempowerment’s momentum. The beliefs they form disconnect them from the beauty and love that is reality’s natural state. From there, all they see is disappointment, discouragement, boredom, bondage, fear and insecurity. Oh, they have fleeting glimpses of positive expectation or happiness, but most of their life doesn’t show up that way. The way their life does show up comes from habituation they learned from the generations coming before them.
It’s from there that previous generations entrain the next one. And THAT’S why people double-down on “being realistic”, and “facing the facts”. It’s why they argue against being “pollyanna”; why they believe in “confirmation bias”. It explains why “wishful thinking” as a pejorative describing being Positively Focused is a thing. And so, previous generations pass to the next one a fact-based, realistic lens.
That’s why people end up being realistic instead of imaginative.
We remember
The in-coming generation knows this is going to happen before they come in. So it’s not like they’re a victim of the previous generation. They know what they’re doing deep down. Still, a few come in remembering all this. And it’s those few who offer clarity to the rest.
They’re the visionaries. It’s people like them who move humanity forward. Others come to remind those who’ve forgotten so they may live lives charmed.
My job as one of the latter is to attract those few, remind them what they know and help them recover their sovereignty, their imagination. That’s what is happening with this client. It’s what happens with every client. And that’s why clients’ lives change for the better in dramatic fashion.
My “job” is an expression of love. It’s based on the beauty and love inherent in All That Is. Not science. It is an act of eternal imagination. And its reverberations span all dimensions.
Every person possesses this divine, natural connection to All That Is. The only difference between them and me and my clients is: we remember.
Maybe it’s time you remember too. Book a session, let’s find out.
