This Is How The Universe Actually Works

TL;DR: The author explores how beliefs and belief constellations shape our reality. Through vivid client examples, they reveal how understanding the moment of becoming empowers anyone to create a life of joyful alignment. This story summarizes a video seminar the client offered, which is available for free on the Positively Focused YouTube Channel.

Most people want to know how the Universe works. But here’s the twist—they usually look outside themselves for the answer. They look to science, religion, and pop philosophy, hoping someone “out there” will hand them the truth. But that’s not how it works.

As Neil deGrasse Tyson once said, “One of the great challenges in this world is knowing enough about a subject to think you’re right—but not enough to know you’re wrong.” 

The irony? That quote sets up this story perfectly. Because to understand how the Universe works… you have to understand yourself. Not your ego, not your personality—your true nature.

This post distills the essence of my two-hour presentation on the subject. The deeper truth is this: the Universe is not out there. It’s in you. You are it.

You Are the Universe Projecting Itself

Let’s start at the top: the universe is a projection of your inner state. Every single thing you see “out there”—from politics to pets—is a reflection of your vibration. And who you really are is not a person. You are a gestalt consciousness: a collection of innumerable points of awareized energy riding together as one.

For example, imagine a concert where someone is crowd-surfing. That one person is lifted by a sea of hands—but not just the hands. The entire experience, from sound engineers to security to the vibe of the crowd, supports that moment.

That’s you. You’re the crowd-surfer, yes—but you’re also the entire crowd. You are one perspective atop a sea of co-creative energy. And that sea responds directly to your vibration.

That’s where beliefs come in.

How Beliefs Form—and Why They’re Dangerous

Beliefs are not thoughts you think. They’re thoughts you think so often they gain gravity. They become like mini-entities inside you—alive, magnetic, attracting evidence to themselves. The more attention you give a belief, the more it builds momentum. Eventually it filters your entire perception, creating a world that feels real…even “true”.

That’s what I call a belief constellation—a cluster of interconnected beliefs filtering out 99.9% of reality so that only what matches the constellation gets through. That’s how we survive in a world that’s infinitely complex. But here’s the kicker: Every belief becomes true.

You believe men can’t be trusted? You’ll date men who confirm that. You believe money is hard to earn? You’ll work yourself into exhaustion proving it. You believe trans women aren’t real women? You’ll block yourself from seeing the magic of transformation itself.

Belief constellations are powerful. But when they get challenged, something wild happens…

Belief Confrontations Are Hidden Opportunities

belief confrontation is what happens when reality shows you something that contradicts your beliefs. Suddenly you feel defensive, angry, judgmental, even violent. Why? Because the belief is trying to survive. It’s rising to the surface, fighting to stay dominant in your reality.

But here’s the gold: every belief confrontation is actually an invitation to expand. To grow. To let go of a limiting perspective and step into something more accurate.

This is why so many people struggle with ideas like gender identity, abundance, or joy without effort. Their beliefs don’t allow it. But that discomfort? It’s not punishment. It’s the seed of the next level of expansion. And if we lean in—rather than shut down—we unlock a new timeline. That’s where the present moment comes in.

Most people think the present moment is the physical now. But that’s already past—it’s manifested. The true present moment is what I call the moment of becoming—the energetic space where everything still has potential. This is the most powerful place in the universe.

In that space, you’re always choosing: Do I reinforce the same old beliefs and relive the same old reality? Or do I select a new belief—one that matches what I want, not what I fear?

That’s why the diagram I share in the presentation matters (see below): it shows how beliefs lead to outcomes. Positive beliefs filter reality into charmed experiences. Negative beliefs filter reality into struggle. Most people have a mix—and so they live lives of mixed results. But when you train yourself to consistently choose aligned, joyful beliefs, your entire reality shifts.

That’s when you step into what I call The Charmed Life.

Your Reality Is Yours to Create—So What Do You Want?

Let me express this clearly: you can create any reality you want. But to do that, you must:

  • Discover and own your beliefs. You created them.
  • Let go of victimhood. No one does anything to you. You do it to yourself.
  • Choose vibrational alignment over old mental habits. This takes practice.

My clients prove this every day. “Debbie” transformed a lifetime of trauma into a relationship upgrade. “Dan” overcame suicidal thoughts by shifting his belief constellation around worthiness and trans-attraction. “Kyle” turned decades of financial fear into unexpected abundance by embracing new beliefs about money and trust.

In each case, the path to expansion wasn’t “effort” or “grind.” It was clarity. Clarity brought through alignment. As well as a willingness to believe something new. And it’s the same for everyone.

As one client beautifully said, “If there’s one thing I’d tell people, it’s just ‘let go’.”

Letting go isn’t passive, however. It’s vibrational. Letting go means no longer trying to control manifested reality. Instead we live from the Moment of Becoming. There we no longer play victim. We also no longer need others to agree with our beliefs before we can feel free. The moment we let go is the moment we reclaim our power.

That’s how the Universe works. It works through youas you. So I’ll end this post with the following: Are you willing to be that powerful?

Because you already are.

How A Client Quitting Manifested A New, Better One

TL;DR: The author shares how a client’s exit sparked the effortless arrival of a better, higher-paying one—demonstrating how vibrational alignment, not forced action, brings ideal outcomes in perfect timing. No magical spending required.

Earlier this year, a client decided to quit the practice.

She’s an artist who creates beautiful handwoven pieces from recycled fabric. Of course, one of my roles in client sessions is to perceive the alternate future reality in which the client’s dreams lay manifest, then inspire the client towards that reality. For this client, that dream is owning a business based on her artistic expressions. One that would replace income she gets from her day job.

When she showed me one of her creations, I felt inspired by my Broader Perspective to buy it as a gift for another client—someone I knew would appreciate the artistry and meaning behind it. The price wasn’t firm yet, nor was the shipping cost known, but I trusted the inspiration and paid what the artist quoted.

Later, after she finished the piece and shipped it, she came back to ask for more money—the shipping cost was almost as much as the item itself. I told her I’d cover it, but not until after tax season. I had underestimated my tax bill this year due to a surprising (and delightful!) increase in client income—proof in itself that my practice is thriving.

She didn’t take that well, however.

The fun begins

In our final conversation, she told me I wasn’t truly living the Positively Focused practice. I should “just pay what you owe me,” she said, and “trust the money will show up.”

But here’s how I responded: That’s not how this practice works. It’s not about reckless spending wrapped in spiritual platitudes, I told her. It’s about inspired alignmenttrusting timing, and honoring your clarity.

My response moved me so much, I wrote a blog about it: The Myth of Magical Spending. But my response didn’t move her. She didn’t like what I told her. After our next session, she left the practice. That meant a $150/month client was gone.

And that’s where the fun began.

The fun began there because I knew the Universe would handle this. I knew the timeline I’m aligned with always brings me what fits. It’s happened over and over. When one client leaves, a new one replaces them. And not just any replacement—but one that’s better, cleaner, more in tune with who I am now.

Fast forward to the last week of April.

I didn’t worry or chase. I knew.

A new person booked a free 1:1 through my Transamorous Network website. Because he’s a trans-attracted man (and those clients often ghost), I required a $25 refundable deposit as part of the free 1:1 booking process. He paid it. That told me he was serious.

But then he rescheduled his session for late June. Now, I could have fretted. I could have worried this guy was a flake like so many others. But I didn’t do that. I stayed chill, detached. You could even say I remained indifferent to what would happen next. I wasn’t grasping, needing a new client. Insecurity found no match in me. I just remained open.

Then, just days later, I got a new booking…from the same guy. We hadn’t even had the free 1:1 yet and here he was booking a full client package at $200/month.

Later he told me he couldn’t wait for June. And he didn’t want to wait for a trial. He knew what I offered offered value for him, he said. In other words, this new client said YES to himself — and to me — before the original session ever happened. That’s divine orchestration!

The new client not only is willing to pay me more, he’s a better match to what I offer.

Here’s What That Means

Not only did the Universe replace the departing client, it replaced her with one willing to pay $50 more. What’s more, he started his sessions in May, meaning there was no income gap at all. Further, our connection was energetically clean – no drama, no demands, just a client ready, willing, and eager for the transformation I offer. That became clear after our first two sessions. Especially when he said, after session one, “I’m so glad to have met you.”

The Universe didn’t just patch the income leak, in other words, the Universe upgraded the income plumbing.

This proves to me that we don’t have to chase money. Make our intentions known to the Universe and relax into the knowing that it’s done and the Universe will do the rest. Again this isn’t the first time this happened. As far as I’m concerned, it’s happened so often I’m convinced this is reality.

The challenge is, we can’t just go from disbelieving to knowing it’s possible, to having what we desire. Practical evidence nurtures knowing. Producing that practical, nurturing evidence takes a while and it’s not intuitive. Not at first. That’s why it’s helpful to have a framework such as the Positively Focused approach and someone like me who knows the path.

No magical spending required

The path is the same on any subject. It works every time, but does require clients’ compliance and devotion. Clearly, the client who quit wasn’t ready to go the distance. And yet, this experience is a crystal-clear example of how this practice works, and what she could have walked into:

  • Act when inspired
  • Honor your boundaries without guilt even in the face of others’ doubt
  • Trust divine timing instead of forcing outcomes
  • Know that the Universe has your intention in mind always
  • Then watch as reality rearranges itself to reflect that knowing

It’s not about magical spending. It’s about vibrational integrity. And when you hold that? The manifestations flow in—better than before.
