TL;DR: The author reflects on a client’s mystical encounter with nature, revealing how direct communion beyond physical reality awakens deep worthiness, dissolves doubt, and invites a calmer, more trust-filled unfolding of life.
One of the things I love most about working with clients long term is witnessing the moment when curiosity turns into certainty. There’s no fanfare when it happens. Just a calm, unmistakable knowing that settles throughout my client’s experience. You can hear it in their voice. You can feel it in the way they tell their story.
This story you’re about to read is part of my Worthiness Wednesday video series from the Positively Focused YouTube Channel. It’s a series wherein I share client experiences through which they discover self-worth as more than a concept. Instead, they discover worthiness as an embodied realization. Because the truth is, worthiness doesn’t arrive through affirmation alone. It emerges naturally when you remember who — and what — you actually are.
That’s exactly what happened when my client KJ recently described a series of mystical experiences he’d been having while fully awake. There was wonder in his tone, yes — but there was also confidence, clarity, and zero defensiveness. He wasn’t questioning whether what he experienced was real. He knew it was.
And that knowing is everything.
When You’re Not Even Seen
One of KJ’s recent experiences happened during an ordinary walk. He found himself on a bridge near a dam, standing quietly while a woman approached from the other side. She passed him and apologized, saying she hadn’t seen him there. What struck KJ wasn’t the apology—it was the realization that she likely hadn’t seen him at all.
This wasn’t about invisibility in the comic-book sense. It was about vibrational non-overlap. Here two people, in two different realities, briefly intersected without fully sharing the same perceptual field. I’ve had experiences like this myself. I once found $40 laying on the ground while walking with someone who was genuinely stunned because they hadn’t seen the money there at all. We were on the same street. It was the same moment. But we were in completely different realities.
Physical reality isn’t singular. It’s consensus-based. When you shift your internal state, the version of reality you perceive—and that responds to you—shifts as well.
The most recent evidence of that accurate statement was KJ’s experience with a tree. That’s because the mystical nature of that experience communicated so much. It offered so much to him. And it confirmed for me, what I already know: that we are more than our physical bodies.
The Tree That Was Too Vast to Grasp
During another walk, he felt inspired to touch a tree’s trunk as he passed. When his hand made contact, something extraordinary happened. He suddenly perceived the tree for what it really was. Trees are more than natural objects. They’re vast—cosmic entities gracing us with a version of their reality in physical form.
From the tree’s perspective, KJ felt like a grain of dust, he said. He perceived the tree’s register of him as barely noticeable. Later, during meditation, the experience deepened. What arose wasn’t an image so much as an immensity. KJ perceived the tree at a scale of being so large that his mind couldn’t contain all of it.
KJ’s response to this experience reveals his status as a member of the Positively Focused advance client group. He didn’t try to analyze his experience. Nor did he claim mastery over it. He didn’t inflate his ego or assign himself a special role. Instead, he simply recognized that what he had touched was far bigger than his current framework for understanding.
That stability in the face of such an immense experience is a sign of real alignment.
Again, trees aren’t just discrete objects standing in soil. They are expressions of vibrational harmony that stretch far beyond what our eyes report. Nature isn’t separate from the spiritual realm—it’s one of its clearest doorways.
Why Science Can’t See This—Yet
I want to be very clear here: science is extraordinary. Its tools have transformed our world in profound ways. Science, however, by design, measures effects. It doesn’t measure origins.
Physical reality is spiritual first. Consciousness precedes form. Until science becomes willing to integrate the subjective, experiential dimension of awareness, it will always be studying the shadow rather than the Source. Experiences like KJ’s exist upstream from where science operates. That explains why another client calls what he’s finding through the Positively Focused practice “undiscovered science”.
It’s also why experiences like these matter so deeply in the Positively Focused practice. They help confirm what the Positively Focused practice asserts; that we are eternal beings, much more than our physical bodies and existing in multiple dimensions simultaneously.
When you know you’re eternal, impatience dissolves. The pressure to hurry life along fades. You stop racing time and start cooperating with it. Getting what you want starts feeling less like forcing and more like allowing. Life unfolds incrementally, the way grass grows—quietly, steadily, inevitably.
I’ve seen this in my own life. As major manifestations come into form I can see the benefit of that “grass growing” state. Had everything arrived at once, it would have been overwhelming. The built-in pacing of physical reality exists so we can enjoy what we’re creating. But if we don’t know, like KJ is beginning to know, then that pacing can conjure impatience in us.
An Open Invitation
Worthiness emerges naturally when we realize life isn’t running out. We are not late, we are not behind. We are eternal. Not everyone is ready for experiences like KJ’s, and that’s perfectly okay.
We can’t force such experiences. They arise through gentle practices — meditation, dreamwork, presence — when the ego realizes it can allow our nervous system to let in data the ego deliberately blocks. It blocks those data so the being, the human, can focus on the necessities of navigating physical reality.
But when we come into alignment with the flow of life, which all my clients are learning how to do, then the ego softens. It begins allowing more of the data we can’t manage, because we have expanded our consciousness. That expansion happens by aligning with the Broader Perspective of what we are. Do that and experiences like KJ’s are natural byproducts. The byproducts of expansion.
And when they come, they don’t make us special. They make us certain.
That’s when the fun really begins.
