What Happens When You Finally See The Crown

TL;DR: In this fifth part of a six-part series, the author recounts how a funeral cracked open a deeper truth for his business-owner client: our judgments blind us to others’ divinity—until alignment lets us finally see what was always there.

Jane wasn’t prepared for what she walked into.

She had driven to the funeral of Alba—the representative of one of her customer organizations—with little expectation other than to show respect. After all, Alba had recently passed, and throughout their working relationship, Jane had long felt a measure of frustration toward her.

Alba was, to Jane, unreliable. She canceled meetings often. Alba spoke in ways Jane found circuitous and unfocused. She had become one of Jane’s most challenging clients—not because of what she asked for, but because of what Jane thought she represented: disorganization, distraction, a time-consumer.

And then came the funeral.

It was held in a Black church. Jane, who is white and was raised attending traditional white congregations, immediately noticed something different. There was music, joy, laughter. There were tears too—but the tears flowed alongside testimonies and praise. The pews were filled—300 people strong. And at the front of the sanctuary, the body of Alba rested peacefully…with a crown placed gently upon her head.

It took Jane’s breath away.

This funeral wasn’t about grief. This was a coronation. A recognition of the royal life Alba lived. And Jane could feel it—viscerally, undeniably. The room pulsed with love, gratitude, reverence. Here Jane witnessed a version of Alba she had never allowed herself to see. A revelation began. And with it came a reckoning.

The Version We See Is Always Ours

Here’s the great paradox of physical reality: we never interact with “the person” we’re interacting with. Instead, we interact with our version of that person. A version filtered through our active beliefs, biases, expectations, and emotional momentum. That’s true for clients, coworkers, lovers, friends—and yes, even for funeral guests. When Jane was alive in her stories about Alba, she couldn’t see the woman who had:

  • Served time in prison
  • Lost her children during incarceration
  • Rebuilt her life and reclaimed her family
  • Founded an entire organization to help formerly incarcerated women do the same

She couldn’t see the god in Alba, the angel, the founder, the force. But the version of Alba celebrated at that funeral was undeniable. That version shattered Jane’s perceptual filter. It wasn’t that Alba had changed. It was that Jane’s vibrational relationship to her had.

The crown on Alba’s head wasn’t just a tribute. It was a mirror. A powerful, public display of what Jane hadn’t allowed herself to see in life—but could now finally acknowledge in Alba’s transition.

The Hidden Grace in Every Human

This is the real culmination of the six-part story we’ve been sharing. It hasn’t been only about Jane and Sally, or about customers and contracts—it’s been about the sacred truth behind everyone we interact with: Every person is divine: Every person is on a path.

And every person reflects back to us our own energetic state. If we meet someone in frustration, resentment, or judgment, that’s what we get. We don’t see the fullness of who they are because we’re too busy projecting who we think they are. But when the filters fall away—whether through expansion or, in this case, grief—we see something else entirely. We see Source.

This is true of Alba. It’s also true of Sally.

Because Jane couldn’t see Sally’s value, she saw waste. She saw a blank database instead of a robust content strategy. She saw misalignment instead of leadership. But all of that was Jane’s story—not Sally’s.

The same way Alba’s story was far grander than Jane’s story could contain.

When Jane called me after the funeral, she was in tears—but not of sadness. These were tears of revelation, and awe. She told me everything—how beautiful the service was, how inspired she felt. And I just listened. I felt no need to emphasize what Jane discovered. Not then.

But I will next session because this is a crucial moment for Jane.

The Sacred Reminder: Alignment First, Clarity Follows

That’s because Jane’s experience shows how powerful the Positively Focused practice is. It’s not about controlling others or highlighting their flaws as though those flaws are all they are. It’s about aligning with the broader awareness of who others are so that we can be a match to it.

When we’re aligned, our filters change. We perceive more clearly. We receive more graciously. Then we soften. We soften our view of the world and those in it. And the people become radiant reflections of the love and clarity we’ve cultivated within.

That’s what Jane touched in that church. It’s exactly why I want to solidify that in her awareness next session. And it’s exactly what Sally was offering Jane, right up to her “termination.” An opportunity to shift perspective. And that’s the fundamental beauty of what this entire six-part journey reveals.

The final gift of this story is simple, but profound: Every single human you meet wears a crown. It’s not always on their head. Sometimes it’s in their actions. Other times it’s in their perseverance. Sometimes it’s in the way they reflect back to us what we still can’t see in ourselves. But it’s always there.

And if we let the stories fall away… if we pause long enough to shift our vibration… if we open our eyes from alignment, rather than resistance… we’ll see it. And when we do, life becomes a coronation. Not just of others, but of ourselves. Because the crown we see on another’s head?

It’s our crown, too.

When “Healing” Doesn’t Help: A New Path Forward

TL;DR: This reflective post explores a real-life interaction highlighting the limits of “healing” narratives. It illustrates how emotional contrast serves expansion through vibrational clarity, not trauma recovery.

There’s a common belief in many spiritual and New Age communities that emotional wounds must be healed, processed, and purged before one can move forward. The language of trauma, shadow work, and inner child healing often dominates these spaces. And while those interpretations can offer temporary comfort or a sense of meaning, from a Positively Focused perspective, none of them are necessary. In fact, they often reinforce the very frequency that keeps people locked in painful cycles.

This is the story of “Kellie”—a woman I met synchronistically—and how her journey with me became a living example of the difference between those two worldviews.

The Meeting: A Manifestation

We met at Gigi’s, a charming breakfast spot. I had gone there with the intention of having a joyful experience, maybe even meeting someone stimulating.

That’s exactly what happened. Kellie appeared as a delightful new acquaintance. We sparked a conversation rooted in spiritual curiosity. She shared her journey: a former software engineer with time spent in well-known software engineering corporations, now in a transitional space after escaping both high-tech burnout and a controlling Christian cult. Kellie was recalibrating her life.

She shared that she was deeply spiritual—into lucid dreaming, astrology, and alternate timeline work. We began spending time together casually, often sharing perspectives on spiritual topics. From the start, I recognized her as a manifestation. That’s why I never felt resistance to our dynamic. But I also never mistook her for a client. So I didn’t share the full depth of being Positively Focused.

Over time, however, I noticed a pattern. On at least three occasions, Kellie had intense negative emotional experience while in my presence. Something would trigger her—a memory, a comment, or even an impulse—and she would spiral. Each time, our conversation had to end because she was inconsolable.

Still, I stayed open. I saw her emotional responses not as problems, but as data. Kellie was calibrating. Just not consciously.

Better timelines?

Then, during one of our coffee shop conversations, she brought up her ability to perceive timelines. She always spoke of them as dark or painful, especially those involving her mother.

So I asked a simple, high-vibration question: If you can perceive other timelines, why are the ones you access always negative? What if there are joyful timelines you could feel into? Ones where your mother loved you well, or where your tech career was fulfilling?

That question opened the door.

Later, Sarah texted me, thanking me for what I shared. She said it helped her remember that she could access positive timelines too. That she was on a grand adventure.

I responded, offering a broader perspective: that nothing comes “unbidden”, that her Belief Momentum instead was drawing specific versions of reality to her, and that cleaning up those beliefs would align her with timelines she prefers. I even gently suggested her distrust of corporations might be limiting her.

I added that her beliefs about being “banned” from ChatGPT (which she had shared with me) might also be evidence of her vibrational focus. Maybe her beliefs about malevolent systems were recreating experiences that seemed like censorship or exclusion I told her.

I offered this not as critique, but as a mirror. From a high vibration. She had asked for my insight after all. So I gave it.

The Reaction

Days later, she wrote back, saying my message hit like a “gut punch”. It exposed a “gaping wound” Kellie said. She thanked me, but also said she needed several days to recover. She interpreted what I said as harsh, even though she acknowledged it came from love.

She said she was still processing and needed compassion. That she felt blocked from experiencing more positive timelines, and maybe that blockage was necessary for her growth. Kellie even said the more Positively Focused timelines were “blocked” by design.

Recognizing Kellie wasn’t in a good place, I offered what I knew before hand, but didn’t heed, that the accuracy of my client framework can be hard to hear if the listener doesn’t have some context to receive it in:

Then I sought clarification. Some of what she said perplexed me:

Kellie responded saying she felt attacked. Then corrected herself: she now saw that wasn’t true. Still, she said, she didn’t want to pursue the conversation further.

From the Positively Focused Perspective

This exchange clarified something I already knew: what I offer is sacred. And it’s best offered within the container of client relationships. Because unless someone has done some calibrating, the perspective I bring can feel destabilizing.

Kellie’s response reflects a common misunderstanding: the belief that there are emotional “wounds” which must be “healed”. That someone else can “expose” those wounds. That life happens to us, and we must recover from it. But from a Positively Focused perspective, there are no “wounds”. There is only vibrational momentum.

What feels like a wound is just the contrast between a deeply practiced belief and the perspective of our Inner Being. The bigger the contrast between those two, the more it hurts. But that pain isn’t an indication that something went wrong. It’s evidence that something is ready to change.

What’s more, the idea that we need to “heal” implies something is broken. That something bad happened that we didn’t ask for. It implies that we are victims of circumstance. But that’s never the case.

Everything that happens is an answer to our vibration. And every experience—even the painful ones—are invitations…into greater clarity, alignment, and freedom. That’s why I never use the language of “healing” or “wounding.” Such language disempowers. It locks people into a linear process of “recovery” rather than an expansive, upward spiral, quantum path of calibration.

Kellie wasn’t wounded. She was experiencing the emotional signal of Belief Momentum that no longer serves her. But she can’t hear that.

What She Reflected Back to Me

I’m grateful to Kellie. She reminded me that Positively Focused isn’t for everyone. It requires readiness, willingness and devotion. It definitely demands a certain level of vibrational stability.

Kellie also showed me how easy it is to interpret feedback through the lens of pain. Her belief that I “attacked” her wasn’t about me. It was about how her Belief Momentum filtered my words.

I honor that. But I don’t take it on.

Instead, I use it as a reminder that the practice I offer works best when someone is asking, deliberately and consistently, for what I offer.

After our final exchange, I sent her a message of closure. One rooted in appreciation, clarity, and forward movement. Here it is:

Final Thoughts

Not everyone is a client. And not every spiritual “seeker” is ready to release the “wound/healing” paradigm and become a “finder”. That’s ok. But I’ll continue to offer what I offer: a path of deliberate, joyful calibration, where nothing is broken, nothing went wrong, and everything—yes, even ChatGPT bans and gut punches—is an invitation.

To those ready to live from that knowing, I say: welcome home.

There’s so much joy in the world. There’s so much joy in our lives. And there’s so much joy in us. Tapping into that joy can be exhilarating and leads to a tremendous sense of worthiness. It’s exhilarating and addictive: once someone discovers Positively Focused as a way of being, they hardly ever go back to living they way they did before.

That’s because everyone’s Broader Perspective wants them to embody, live and express that joy. Some, however, aren’t ready for that. Some still must move through disempowering momentum. That’s ok too. I’m happy with the world as it is. And, I’m joyful for those who encounter Positively Focused, then become clients.

It’s so fun being Positively Focused. But it’s even funner when like-minded others join in on that fun.

Why Younger Leaders Make the Best Alignment Teachers

TL;DR: In this, Part 4, of a six-part series, the author shares how client Sally turned a firing into confirmation from the Universe, demonstrating the clarity and leadership that emerge when younger generations align with their broader perspective.

When I got on the call with Sally that evening, I wasn’t worried. I knew what kind of vibrational environment we had built together. But still—when I heard her voice, I felt deep satisfaction. She was calm. Clear. Even… radiant.

Sally had just been fired. But instead of spiraling, she immediately started receiving. A text from a woman she respected—her dance instructor—landed just minutes after the call. “You’re such a light,” it read. “I’m so glad to call you my friend.” Sally was floored. The timing was divine. And the message? Unmistakable.

Then, in the elevator of her building, a stranger looked at her with admiration and offered a spontaneous compliment on her beauty. Another confirmation. Another wink from the Universe.

None of this was coincidence. This was the Universe showing her: “You’re okay. In fact, you’re better than okay.”

A practice that delivers

I’ve long said younger generations are not here to be taught—they’re here to teach. Sally is at least 12 years younger than Jane, and that’s no accident. She’s fluid, adaptable, and, because she’s younger, less burdened by societal conditioning. A lot of Jane’s resistance comes from just having lived longer. Sally, on the other hand, flows easily with energy. It’s not that Jane is “wrong.” She’s just older. She’s here to build a foundation. Sally? She’s here to leap from it.

Let’s be clear: Sally still struggles with her own resistance. She’s getting better at that struggle every week, however. That’s because Sally is devoted to this practice. When I told Sally this, she smiled. She got it instantly. Not intellectually, but vibrationally. She felt the truth of her place in this unfolding.

Then Sally did something most people wouldn’t.

She said: “I want to continue the Positively Focused practice. Even if I have to pay for it myself. Are you willing?” Are you kidding me? Of course, I’m willing I told her. This is a woman who had just lost her job. But instead of retreating, she expanded. Instead of pulling back, she leaned in. That’s sovereignty.

And here’s the part that gives me chills because it shows how devoted she is to this practice: Sally had already dropped her therapist a few weeks earlier. Not because of dissatisfaction, but because the Positively Focused framework, she said, works better for her. She wanted deeper alignment, not traditional analysis. And now? The practice had proven itself in the real world. In the sharp contrast of a termination, it had delivered peace, clarity, and confirmation.

Leaping Into Her Own Leadership

Nearly all my clients create similar results for themselves. That includes Jane. After all, Jane was the client who manifested a diamond. And all my clients who once had therapists agree: Therapy just can’t match alignment to All That Is. That alignment not only is the leverage everyone’s looking for. It also feels tremendously good. And how could it not? It taps us into our sovereignty. There’s no better feeling than that. No healing required. Just clarity.

With her job at Jane’s company winding down, Sally saw what I had always seen: she’s not meant to be an employee. She’s meant to lead. To create in her unique way. To bring talents to the world no one has seen before.

And now, she’s getting ready to do it. She doesn’t see that potential fully enough to embrace it. But everyone is expanding. Everyone’s also eternal. So there’s no rush to get it all done right now. We couldn’t even if we wanted to.

I’m positive she’ll use the practice as her compass. I’ll be there as her coach as well. And the Universe? The Universe is already clearing the path.

Two more fabulous installments to this story that delivered manifestation after manifestation. We’ll resume with those last two installments beginning this Wednesday.

Why Firing Someone Can Be a Powerful Gift

TL;DR: The author unpacks a real client story revealing how misaligned beliefs—not job performance—triggered a firing, showing how inner resistance creates outer conflict, and why alignment always tells the real story. This is part 3 of a 4-part story.

Let’s be honest—most people think they make employment decisions based on facts. Performance metrics. Deadlines met. Tasks completed. But the truth is, none of that matters when someone has already made up their mind about who you are.

That’s what happened between Jane and Sally.

Jane had been telling stories—persistent, loud, negative stories—about Sally’s value for a long time. “She doesn’t contribute.” “She’s not a good fit.” “She just doesn’t get it.” The stories were so dominant, they distorted reality. So when Sally delivered above and beyond on her latest assignment—breaking down content and building a customized database to store it—Jane couldn’t even see it. Not because Sally did anything wrong, but because Jane literally couldn’t see beyond her beliefs.

And here’s the thing about dominant beliefs: they create reality. Not in a metaphorical way, but vibrationally, tangibly, literally. Jane’s filter was so active that it collapsed the moment into something tailored to Jane’s filter: a task undone, value uncreated. So she did what matched her vibration—she decided to fire Sally.

This wasn’t about job performance. It was about energetic incompatibility.

Money, above all

Jane and Sally were no longer vibrationally aligned. Jane’s Belief Constellation had shifted to a place that no longer matched Sally’s presence. That doesn’t mean Sally did something wrong. It means the relationship had run its course. But most people can’t accept that. They want reasons, data, justification. So they turn misalignment into misconduct.

And when that happens, not only is the employee misunderstood, but the employer walks away from a learning moment that could have expanded them both.

Jane was feeling intensely negative about this decision. Why? Because her stories weren’t just about Sally’s work. They also collided with something stronger: her relationship with her partner, who is funding the business. For some time now, Jane expressed fear and insecurity about not living up to expectations her partner had for her performance and results of the company.

To mask that fear and insecurity, Jane made it about Sally’s performance. That was obvious, when her partner joined Jane and my conversation about Jane wanting to fire Sally. Jane’s partner was equally adamant. And of course he was: he had collapsed into Jane’s belief momentum. So all he could see in Sally was someone not delivering. That amplified Jane’s beliefs that she was right. All the while neither were very clear about what this was really about: money. An entire Belief Constellation about money.

Practicing What I Preach

Another subject drove Jane’s momentum of negative beliefs about Sally. This one was even deeper: their friendship. The discomfort she felt wasn’t about firing someone. It was about being out of alignment while doing so.

That’s why I insisted she get aligned with the decision before acting. Not because I was trying to delay her, although that’s what she thought I was doing, but because I knew if she made a decision from resistance, she’d attract more contrast. And that’s not what she wanted.

When people act from misalignment, they often think they’re taking control. But really, they’re surrendering to momentum they don’t understand. Decisions made from emotional turbulence usually just reproduce that turbulence in a new form.

As all of this was unfolding, I noticed a tiny twinge in myself. Another client had just told me they contemplated reducing their sessions for financial reasons. And now, Jane was about to fire someone whose sessions she was paying for. The old scarcity voice knocked at the door: “Will your income shrink?”

But I’ve been doing this too long to fall for that voice. I took myself into the park and soothed the belief. I reminded myself: money doesn’t come from clients. It comes through them. No, money comes from alignment, not people. People are the conduit through which it comes sometimes. But it can come in other ways too.

Divine, perfect unfolding.

And that alignment? I had it. Which is why, when Jane moved forward, I was able to stay steady. No panic. No worry. Just clarity. Sally might not be a client anymore, I thought. But something tells me this story’s not over. And as I worked with Jane – a very resistant Jane – and her partner to navigate their resistant turbulence, I felt awe about how so many things were going right, right in the midst of everything looking like it was going wrong.

In an additional call, Jane, her partner and I worked through some negative stories Jane had, mostly involving firing a friend. I knew much more needed addressing in Jane’s Belief Constellations. But those things would have to wait. For there was too much Belief Momentum on them to address them all at once.

The rest of the story unfolded in divine perfection. There’s still a LOT to be told. Including something that happened yesterday that I will add in a Part 5. But for now, stay tuned for Part 4, which drops tomorrow.

What Happens When Getting Fired Is Actually an Upgrade

TL;DR: The author recounts how client Sally transformed a sudden firing into unexpected confirmation from the Universe—turning perceived rejection into a launchpad for independence, clarity, and personal empowerment. This is part 2 of a 3-part story.

Sally’s phone rang. On the other end, her employer and friend Jane delivered news she didn’t see coming: her employment contract would not be renewed. No warning, review or improvement plan. No space to explain. Just a sudden end to the role she’d been performing, in her mind, with care, creativity, and dedication.

Now, Sally had trouble performing. But that’s because the company mission and organization changed drastically and Sally joined expecting something the company no longer was. She tried to adapt. But her efforts weren’t good enough.

Jane’s rationale for letting Sally go? On the surface it was Jane’s perspective that Sally added no value to the company. Evidence she gave was a task Jane believed Sally failed to complete. But that rationale was a mask. In truth, Sally had completed it—beautifully. Not only had she followed the assignment to break Jane’s blog content into repurposable chunks for social media, she’d gone a step further. She created a powerful, scalable content database, custom built from scratch with the help of ChatGPT.

It was smart. Strategic. Future-facing. But Jane couldn’t see it. And that is the crux of this story: the moment when a person’s active belief system filters out any reality inconsistent with it. Jane believed Sally wasn’t adding value. So, even when Sally delivered value, Jane literally couldn’t see it. This is the power—and the peril—of our dominant narratives.

Beliefs Create Blind Spots

This moment is more than a misunderstanding. It’s a living demonstration of a core Positively Focused truth: We don’t see “reality.” We see our beliefs projected into form. And Jane’s beliefs were loud: Sally isn’t contributing value. She doesn’t understand what I need. She’s wasting time. And she’s wasting my money.

When those beliefs are dominant, the Universe must deliver a version of reality, including people in that reality, proving the beliefs true—no matter what’s actually happening.

Immersed in those beliefs, Jane looked at a blank database and saw wasted effort, not innovation. She heard an explanation and felt frustration, not partnership. She concluded that this was the final straw, not the beginning of a breakthrough.

And Sally? Sally found herself abruptly fired—not because of her performance, but because her employer’s vibration had reached a tipping point. But the story doesn’t end here. Not even close. Because the Universe doesn’t work in straight lines. It works in spirals of expansion. And this firing was merely a pivot point. A stepping stone. The launching pad for something greater.

Jane couldn’t see the value Sally offered because she couldn’t see around her persistent belief momentum.

Sally’s Response: A Masterclass in Alignment

When I connected with Sally later that day, I was curious. Not worried—curious. Because I knew three things: One, Sally had been living the Positively Focused practice. Two, I had held steady in my own vibration around this outcome. And three, the Universe always delivers in our favor when we allow it.

So I wasn’t surprised when Sally told me she felt… good. Not shaken. Not devastated. Just calm. Clear. Receptive. That’s because, as soon as she hung up with Jane, the Universe swooped in with confirmation:

  • A text from a woman she deeply admired, a dance instructor she respected but had never called a friend. The message read: “I really believe we have a lot in common and I’m happy to call you my friend. You’re so positive and uplifting and I appreciate you.”
  • A chance encounter in the elevator with a stranger who offered warm, spontaneous appreciation for Sally’s physical beauty—another clear signal from the Universe: “We see you. You are loved.”
  • And the biggest moment of all: Sally realized she wanted to keep working with me—even if it meant paying out of pocket. Because this practice had given her more than any therapy session ever had.

She had just been fired… and yet she was feeling more empowered, more sovereign, and more certain of her path forward than ever before. She also knew Jane firing her had nothing to do with her. Now that’s alignment. That’s sovereignty.

Futures as Bright as the Morning Sun

Sally took an aptitude battery early in her employment with Jane. The battery returned what I already felt in Sally’s vibration. Sally is a leader, it said. She’s here to pioneer new pathways, not follow in the footsteps of others.

Sally isn’t quite at that vibrational frequency to realize this herself. She found the battery results at odds with her thinking. But that’s because her thinking still carries old beliefs of inadequacy, need and a bit of unworthiness.

And that’s why I enjoy guiding people through this practice. I’ve honed my awareness so that it is a sharp perceiver of what lies at the core of people. I can see their brightest future. Furthermore, I’ve built a structure that can have people end up living that future.

It requires dedication. It requires some letting go of old selves. The results, however, are so worth it. Everyone’s future can brighten like the morning sun, dispelling all distortion and revealing the joyful reflection of one’s eternal, divine inner state. I’m here to help those ready for such futures walk into them.

Perhaps you’re one such person. Let’s find out.

Meantime, we continue with this story tomorrow. We’re not even half-way through the amazing manifestations flowing from this one interaction. In case you missed it, here’s Part 1.

How to Turn Firing Someone Into a Powerful Win

TL;DR: The author shares a stunning true story of a client who fired her employee—only to receive a $10K contract hours later. A real-life illustration of how vibrational alignment trumps effort every time. This is Part 1 of an astounding 3-Part story.

There’s something extraordinary that happens when we stop seeing life as a linear chain of cause and effect, and start recognizing it as a living mirror of our vibrational state. That’s what the Positively Focused practice is all about—tuning your inner alignment so well that even what others call “negative experiences” turn out to be springboards into exactly what you’re wanting.

This three-part story is a powerful example. This is part one.

It involves two clients of mine—let’s call them Jane and Sally—whose lives intersected professionally. Jane employed Sally. But over time, their work relationship became strained. Jane had developed a dominant story: Sally wasn’t adding value. She believed it so thoroughly that she began telling everyone around her that Sally wasn’t producing anything meaningful. Eventually, Jane reached what she called the “last straw.”

She decided she was going to fire Sally. But the truth was: Sally had been doing great work—far beyond what was asked of her. Jane simply couldn’t see it.

When Stories Become Reality (and Blind Us to What’s True)

The Positively Focused perspective reminds us: your beliefs filter your world. Jane’s belief that Sally didn’t contribute value was so active, it completely blocked her ability to see the value right in front of her.

Sally had completed a task that Jane assigned—breaking up blog content for social media. Not only that, she also built, from scratch, a custom database using ChatGPT to organize and manage that content. But when Jane saw the database—because it had no content in it yet—she concluded Sally wasted her time. The truth was, Sally had the content ready. She just hadn’t loaded it in yet. Sally showed Jane the content, but Jane ignored what Sally presented.

Jane literally did not see what Sally had done…because her vibration wouldn’t allow it.

Firing Sally was the natural next step given Jane’s and Sally’s belief momentum.

This is not a failure of observation—it’s a demonstration of how powerfully our inner reality determines what we perceive outside us. Our persistent stories don’t just color the world; they shape it. They blind us to evidence that contradicts them. Jane wasn’t wrong in a moral sense. She was just vibrationally tuned to a version of Sally that matched her expectation.

This is how creation works.

The Universe Orchestrates More Than We Know

As this was unfolding, something else happened: a customer Jane had long disliked—due to their poor communication, arriving late to meetings, and overly wordy updates—suddenly died. The passing shocked Jane. But this loss created a vacuum in that customer’s organization.

A new interim CEO stepped in. She immediately emailed Jane, asking if Jane would be open to amending their contract—expanding it from a small $300 contract…to a $10,000 one.

Yes. From $300 to $10,000.

This is a client Jane had barely done any work for. But Jane had previously told me she wanted a second $10,000 client. The first one, a dental client, was already active. Now, out of what looked like tragedy and workplace drama, the Universe delivered the second.

Jane didn’t have to do anything for it. It came through alignment. That’s not the end of this story however. It’s just the beginning. But let’s pause here, because this is where many people miss the magic.

They think that Jane got lucky. That a door closed and another opened. That “one person died, another got fired, and everything worked out in the end.” But that’s not what happened.

What actually happened is this: the Universe perfectly matched everyone involved with the experiences they were aligned with—and in doing so, set up the next chapter of each person’s expansion. And they all won. Jane got her second $10,000 client. Sally, as you’ll see in Part 2, got something even more valuable than a job. And I, as their guide, got the supreme joy of watching divine timing play out in real time.

More to come tomorrow.

How One Powerful Intention Brought a Beautiful Stranger Back

TL;DR: The author shares a real-life manifestation story showing how a light, trusting intention led to a wonderful reunion — proving once again that alignment, not effort, is the secret to beautiful results.

There’s tremendous power in lining up with how reality works. Especially when it comes to creating outcomes we want. This power causes trying to “make it happen” to pale in comparison. Indeed, all my clients who have experienced this say that creating what they want is far, far, far more satisfying than trying to “make it happen” through doing.

But it takes trust to rely on BEING as a way to have what we want. Trust comes from repeated evidence demonstrated over time. Evidence proving process you’re wanting to trust is trust-worthy. That’s why the Positively Focused practice is a practice. Yes, it’s difficult at first, as is learning anything new. But the other, more important reason for the practice is people need to build trust in their being. That comes from assembling a body of evidence proving their being is worthy of their trust.

What happened in my life over the last six months is yet another piece of evidence fortifying my trust in everything I share. What happened isn’t so special. These kinds of things happen for me all the time these days. But the way in which it happened is special. That’s because, as I just shared, it’s one more weight tipping the scale towards my knowing that reality, or Wake-Scape, bends to our intention set in our Reality of Origin through the Moment Of Becoming.

Let’s look at this wonderful manifestation in which I created a rendezvous with a beautiful stranger I met months before.

It begins

I didn’t realize it six months ago, but what unfolded since then became a perfect, living example of the Positively Focused practice — the kind of story I tell my clients to help them see how Wake Scape really works when we align into our Moment of Becoming and follow our Broader Perspective‘s impulses.

There’s a burger joint I used to frequent. It wasn’t the food that drew me in week after week — though I’m not going to say no to a good burger. No, what kept pulling me in was a trans woman who worked there. She was stunning. Magnetic. The first time she brought my food out to me, she took my breath away.

From that moment on, I was hooked. Not in a desperate way. But I was definitely showing up more frequently at this burger place and not just for the burgers and tater tots. Every week I’d head over, sit at the bar, and simply…watch. Watch her move, cook, smile.

We never spoke. I never approached her. But I knew she knew I was looking. And yet something in me respected the sacred space of her workplace. I didn’t force an introduction.

Weeks passed. Maybe two months. Then one day, she wasn’t there.

The next week? Still no sign of her.

And just like that, she was gone. I realized she no longer worked there. And that felt like a door closing — one I hadn’t even walked through. I never got her name. Never had a chance to chat her up or even say hello.

But here’s where the manifestation began.

“Go for a walk”

I remember thinking: “I’m going to see her again.”

And that’s all. No trying. No scheming. I didn’t launch a search party or dig around online. I just felt the desire, set it down gently in the space of my Reality of Origin, and let it go. Letting it go was easy because I knew my Broader Perspective and All That Is was on it. So I didn’t need to be. My Broader Perspective received my intention to see her again. It would therefore orchestrate events so that that would happen.

I went on with life. No resistance. No need to control it. Just trust.

Fast forward to a day in late May. I woke up to an impulse. One of those quiet nudges from my Broader Perspective — ones I’ve learned to listen to without questioning. It was already 70° outside and heading toward 85°. The nudge was simple: go for a walk.

So I did. I didn’t even think twice. After dressing I headed out into the warm morning air. I walked over to the community center where I workout and ended up having a lovely 10-minute conversation with a man I know named Apollo. And yes — he looks like an Apollo.

We caught up, shared some laughs, then parted ways. I continued walking. About ¾ of the way through my route, far from the burger joint, I came upon a breakfast place. And who do you think was sitting at an outside table?

That’s right. Her.

The trans woman from the burger place. Just…sitting there. Radiant as ever.

The rendezvous was very much exactly like this!

Let that sink in

My heart did a little flip. I knew this was the moment I’d asked for. My intention, dropped in months ago, had landed. And now it was right in front of me, delivered right through the Moment of Becoming into my Present Moment, my collection of manifestations.

At first, I hesitated. I felt a flicker of embarrassment — should I approach her? What if it’s awkward? But I’ve trained myself to move beyond those thoughts. I knew this was an invitation from the All That Is, perfectly timed and lovingly orchestrated.

After screwing up some gumption, I walked over, pulled out the chair across from her and sat down. She smiled and opened a conversation. A conversation that was delightful.

Her name is Bryn. She told me she left the burger joint because the management had done something unethical. She now works for the post office — and here’s the kicker: the branch she works at is less than half a mile from my home.

Not only that, she knows my next-door neighbor, who also is a letter carrier, and works with him at that very branch.

Now let that sink in.

A woman I admired from afar disappeared. Then reappeared — not just randomly, but in my neighborhood, woven into my everyday reality, my Present Moment. Not by accident. But through my alignment. No effort. No trying to make it happen.

This is what manifestation really looks like.

What we want will show up

It’s not about forcing. Nor is it about chasing. It’s about being — being in alignment with what we want, then letting the Universe do the rest.

I didn’t “make” this happen. There was no manipulation of events or trying to control outcomes. I simply followed joy, listened to the impulses, followed the nudge. And that nudge took me exactly where I needed to be, exactly when I needed to be there.

That’s the magic of this practice. But it’s not magic. It’s knowing what we really are, then living from that clarity.

Set our intention. Don’t worry about how. Don’t worry about when. Let everything go. Keep our vibration clear, our heart open, and our life in flow. And when the time is right, what we want will show up — often in ways more satisfying and more elegantly than we could ever plan.

Meeting Bryn again wasn’t just a sweet surprise. It was a confirmation. The Universe confirmed what I trust in: that I don’t need to hustle my way into getting what I want. I just need to listen, trust, allow then act when the impulse comes.

Next time that quiet desire arises — the kind that tugs at the heart without demanding attention — trust that it’s heard. Trust that it’s in motion. And trust that staying in joy will bring what you want faster than your action.

Just like Bryn came to me. And when it does, it will feel easy. Effortless. Natural.
Like walking outside on a sunny morning…And finding exactly what you wanted.

How To Make The World Better–Through Belief Alone

TL;DR: The author reflects further on a striking encounter with a friend to illustrate how beliefs shape physical reality, showing that inner alignment—not outer conditions—determines the world we each experience.

In my last post, I shared a 24-hour journey from negative momentum to alignment, sparked by a conversation with my friend, Mark. It was a powerful moment of returning to my sovereignty, which you can read here.

But there’s a deeper thread that continued to unfold—the stark difference between my reality and Mark’s, even though we live in the same city. That contrast revealed something remarkable.

It’s often said that “we see what we want to see.” But what if it’s even deeper than that? What if we don’t just see through the lens of our beliefs… we live through them? What if every detail of our physical experience—what happens to us, what we witness, what we remember—is shaped not by the world “out there” but by the vibration we’re broadcasting?

Mark and I both live in Portland, Oregon. I live near downtown; Mark lives in the suburbs. Last Thursday, during lunch, Mark described two recent events that deeply disturbed him. Both happened downtown. Both involved violence. And both served, for him, as evidence of the country’s collapse.

Let’s take a look at them.

Chaos, danger and decline

In the first incident, Mark tried to visit the main branch of the Multnomah County Library around 9 a.m. only to find it closed. He immediately linked this to Trump-era budget cuts. Later that day, when he returned to the library around noon, the building had been cordoned off by police. A shooting had occurred on the steps.

But here’s the thing: the library wasn’t closed due to budget cuts. Multnomah County Library standardized hours in December 2024 to offer a balance of morning and evening access. Now, the downtown branch opens at noon on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to accommodate both working people and families. It’s about consistency and predictability for patrons—not politics or scarcity.

Still, Mark filtered the change through his vibrational lens. Saturated in narratives of political and social decay, he couldn’t help but interpret it as another sign of America’s downfall. His thoughts and beliefs tuned him to a version of Portland filled with chaos, danger, and decline. And that’s exactly what he found.

The second incident, which happened earlier, involved a gathering of unhoused individuals. An argument broke out, and Mark watched one person knock another to the ground and begin kicking them. Again, he took this as evidence that America—and particularly Portland—was unraveling.

Meanwhile, I’ve cultivated a completely different vibrational lens.

Vibrational Contagion Works

When I walk through Portland, people smile at me. I’m greeted warmly by strangers. I get compliments from passersby. Even unhoused people feel like part of the landscape, not a threat. I’ve held the belief that they’re harmless, and so they are. Recently, while dining out, a staff member passed by me and said, “You’re really good-looking.” I agreed. I know I look good because I feel good. I vibrate at a high frequency.

That’s not vanity. That’s alignment.

Last Thursday, Mark suggested I move to a country like Vietnam or Thailand, where my Social Security income along with my client revenue might stretch further. In his view, the U.S. is on a downward spiral. But I’ve recently manifested an affordable housing opportunity right here in Portland—Albina One—that feels like a perfect vibrational match for me at this moment. I’ve also received powerful dream downloads encouraging me to relaunch my YouTube channel.

The world around us reflects our vibration. Make it a beautiful one.

None of that came up during our lunch. Why? Because I collapsed into Mark’s Belief Momentum. I saw what Mark saw: limitation. Diminished possibility. Fearful retreat.
That’s how quickly—and how powerfully—vibrational contagion works.

And when I collapsed, my vibrational lens changed. I actually considered leaving the country. I saw my future as limited, uncertain, bleak. That’s the power of alignment—whatever you align to, you see. I literally forgot all the incredible manifestations that had recently unfolded for me. Manifestations telling me my future is secure. Right here in the US.

When the Universe responds to our vibration, it doesn’t respond to the “truth.” It responds to belief. And then it produces what looks like truth—but it’s actually confirmation. That’s the kicker: What we think is “objective reality” is just our vibration made visible.

How We Change…Everything

But the beauty of this practice is, I noticed it. I caught the momentum then paused. I didn’t push forward from that lower vibration. Instead, I tuned inward. Then I shared my experience with my clients to demonstrate how even I, a seasoned practitioner, moved through contrast. I also did it to amplify my clarity.

And when I returned to alignment, everything came back into focus.

This is why Mark’s experiences and mine differ so radically—even when we occupy the same town. It’s why he was moved to suggest I leave the country… while I’m actively manifesting a bright, abundant future right here in Portland.

It’s why, when I aligned again with my Broader Perspective, I remembered the truth of my trajectory — my dream-driven YouTube guidance, my apartment, my unfolding financial stability. And it’s why, when I re-centered myself the next day, using my Positively Focused practice, I felt radiant again. Because I stopped interpreting life through his lens, and returned to my own. That’s how powerful this is.

This experience reaffirmed what I know to be true: our reality is not “out there”. It’s in here, in us all. Our thoughts, our beliefs, our vibration filter All That Is into the only version of reality we can see.

We don’t have to leave our country to find peace. Nor do we have to move to a different economy to feel secure. We just have to shift the signal we’re broadcasting—and then our world shifts around us. This isn’t theory. It’s not metaphor. It’s real.

I’m living proof.

Mark’s Portland is violent, failing, and hopeless. My Portland is promising, vibrant, and full of connection. Same city. Two worlds. Each perfectly matching our internal state.

But this isn’t just about Portland. It’s about how we each create our own external reality from the reality that is in us. Once we realize that, we stop trying to fix external reality. Instead we start tuning our vibration. Because that’s where our power lives.

And from there, everything changes.

How to Make Your Manifestation Practice Work For Real

TL;DR: The author shares a client “Claude’s” journey, which proves real change begins with real presence. When clients fully engage in the Positively Focused practice, they unlock powerful manifestations, deep clarity, and lasting emotional alignment.

When it comes to living a Charmed Life, how we show up to the Positively Focused practice matters.

That’s the lesson a client “Claude” is experiencing firsthand. Claude came into the Positively Focused practice holding years of negative momentum. His relationships — with his wife, his mother, and most poignantly, himself — were filled with tension, resistance, and guilt. And yet, he remembered a different version of himself; As a teenager, Claude was athletic, magnetic, and full of life.

“He could do anything and excel,” his sister, who also is a client, once said of Claude. His high school coaches said he had the talent to go pro in both baseball and golf, she told me. That sovereign, high-flying version of him still existed. But he didn’t know how to get back there.

Enter the practice.

A Necessary Life Rebound

Claude found Positively Focused in the aftermath of a particularly difficult stretch. During COVID, he had aligned with some powerful, fear-based narratives circulating online. The government is lying. The vaccine is dangerous. Masks are a scam. These weren’t just passive beliefs—he began advocating them, urging those around him to wake up to what he thought was “truth.”

But here’s the thing: when we advocate for disempowering stories, even if we believe we’re fighting for justice, we attract realities consistent with our alignment. In Claude’s case, that meant alienating loved ones, losing friendships, and watching his business crumble.

This mirrored my own experience years ago when I was heavily advocating for Copiosis. I believed the world needed to change. I had strong opinions about capitalism and money—and as I rallied against them, those very things became absent in my own life. It wasn’t until I released that resistance, aligned with what I wanted, and stopped pushing against what I didn’t, that my finances and life began to rebound.

Claude’s trajectory looked the same.

He began the Positively Focused practice with sincere desire, but with a major obstacle: belief in his own unworthiness. When someone holds the belief that the Universe doesn’t have their back, they can say all the affirmations they want—but the vibration isn’t clean. The practice doesn’t land. That’s what was happening for Claude.

He told me, “I’m doing the processes, but nothing’s changing.”

I asked him, “Are you meaning it? Are you feeling it when you do it, or just reciting words?”

He paused. “I guess I’m just going through the motions.”

Exactly.

The Power Of The Practice

The practice works when you mean it. Not with perfection. Not with forced effort. But with sincerity, willingness, and presence. When you bring your heart to the process, it transforms you.

Another client recently experienced this truth in the most spectacular way. Like Claude, he had a deep well of unworthiness and years of misanthropy. He, too, was doing the practice—his own version of it, that is. And not surprisingly, it wasn’t working. But the moment he got “militant,” as he put it, about doing the processes as prescribed—with real feeling, commitment, and desire—everything shifted.

A woman approached him, asked for his number, and took him out on a date, paying for everything. That had never happened to him before. You can read that story here.

These aren’t stories of luck or coincidence. They are examples of alignment. They are what happens when we move from lip service to devotion.

And devotion doesn’t mean doing the process perfectly. It means doing it deliberately, it means, as I often tell clients, bringing your whole self to it. It means not just saying, “I love that the Universe has my back,” but feeling into that knowing. Even if just for a few seconds.

That’s when the magic unfolds. That’s when we feel the resonance of our Broader Perspective. And that’s when reality starts to shift.

Lining Up With Our Sovereignty

Claude is starting to see this now. He’s realizing that the ease, joy, and sovereignty he remembers isn’t lost. It’s right here—on the other side of the vibration he’s practicing.

As I told another client this week, “Whatever we look for in life, that’s what we’re going to see. So why not look for the positive aspects?”

The Positively Focused practice is designed to help anyone do just that. But like life itself, it only works when we show up fully. Not because we should. But because we want to.

When we mean it, life responds. Not in theory. In manifestation. In real-world results that confirm our expansion is underway.

And that’s the point: We’re not here to fix the world. We’re here to align with the version of it that matches our joy. Do that and everything else lines up—including the relationships, the finances, the sovereignty, and the dreams we thought we left behind.

Claude’s story is still unfolding. But already, the light is coming through. Because he’s beginning to mean it.

And when we mean it…it matters.

Why Letting The Universe “Do” Is Always Best

TL;DR: The author shares about a client, who, seeking love, experiences an effortless manifestation after releasing control. His story proves how trusting the Universe leads to joy, ease, and the unfolding of the Charmed Life.

The most satisfying and delightful, the most joyous way of getting what we want is by letting the Universe take care of the “doing”.

My latest new client recently discovered this. It’s very early in his Positively Focused practice – only his second session. And yet, he, like almost every client, showed himself the power of positive focus.

Whenever a new client starts the practice, they always produce evidence like what you’re about to read. There are two reasons for that. One, what we talk about in-session is exactly how the Universe works. So when clients open themselves to tuning in, the Universe confirms what they heard in-session. It delivers proof as a way of saying “See? It’s accurate.”

Second, the Universe and the client’s Broader Perspective want the client to embrace the practice. Not for the practice’s or for my sake, but because through the practice the person expands into more. So those two – the Universe and the client’s Broader Perspective – will orchestrate unmistakable proof they’re on the right track.

What happened then was meant to happen for these reasons. And, what happened not only showed the client how fun it is to align with All That Is, it gave the client a direct, visceral, delightful experience showing he can create his reality.

Let’s look at what happened.

Manifesting “organically”

This client came through my Transamorous Network offering. I told the story of how that happened in this post. How this client became a client is, itself, a wonderful manifestational argument for letting the Universe handle the doing.

Anyhow, this client came wanting help finding a transgender partner. Unlike other Transamorous Network clients, he already embraces his trans attraction. Like those other clients, however, this client believes finding quality transgender women is near-impossible. He’s tried online dating – to scant success – but he wants better experiences.

I don’t recommend online dating for many reasons. You can read about them here. Instead of online dating, I suggested to my client, that he would enjoy meeting his match “organically”. The client used the word “organically” in place of my phrase, which was “manifest her”.

In talking about “manifesting her”, I painted a scenario. I suggested that, through this practice, he might learn how to listen to his intuition. His intuition might, for example, tell him to go to a convenience store. Should he follow that intuition, when he goes to the store, he’ll run into a trans woman. A trans woman who his Broader Perspective (intuition) knew was there. His Broader Perspective would orchestrate the rendezvous.

And, when he sees her, when he’s dialed into the Positively Focused approach, the perfect words will flow from his mouth. Next thing he knows, I said, he and she will enjoy a date together.

That’s the story I painted. But that’s not what happened. What did happen was no less amazing, however.

Effortless dating

I told the story above in our first session. When the client arrived at the second session, he had a lot to share. He had many updates about his online dating forays, which were hilarious and horrible at the same time. Interspersed with those updates, and almost as an aside, he offered something that alerted my spidey senses.

He attended a work conference two days after we had our first session, he said. The client explained that the conference brings together people at the company he works at that he doesn’t see often or at all. At the conference, he said, he noticed a trans woman. Just like I told him, he found himself going up to this fellow employee and striking up a conversation with the perfect words.

The client described the encounter as “surprising”. He hadn’t expected a trans woman worked in his company, let alone that he would meet her. And while he and this girl didn’t go on a date (she represented a stepping stone on his journey, not the destination) he recognized the divine timing, the connection between what we talked about in our first session and this unfolding.

I asked him, then, directly: Which experience do you prefer, which is more fun: online dating and the perils of that, or meeting your match organically?

Of course, he agreed that the latter is much more fun and much easier. It’s actually effortless.

It’s always more fun meeting someone through manifestation.

The Charmed Life is everyone’s life

This is how everything can happen in our lives. The Universe is constantly delivering what we want to us. It’s happening effortlessly. But when we’re all bunged up in the doing, trying to make it happen our way, then we almost always run counter to the delightful way what we want can happen.

When we allow the Universe to handle the doing, however, life gets really easy. It’s the way I prefer it. I’d argue it’s the way we all prefer it. That is, if we knew it was available to us. A lot of us humans get bogged down in distorted beliefs, however. And so we end up doing “it” like everyone else who’s mired in distorted beliefs are doing it.

We needn’t be copies of those people. When we live differently, we become the beacon drawing others to their own, empowered, enlightened, easy life. The Charmed Life I write about every week.
