Why Your Worst Relationship Was Actually a Gift

TL;DR: A client transforms resentment into realization by reframing his divorce as a divine co-creation—proof that even painful relationships serve our expansion and reveal our innate worthiness.

When I say every relationship is a co-creation, I mean that quite literally. Each of us, in every moment, is attracting into our experience people, events, and circumstances that perfectly match the dominant vibrations we’re offering. Sometimes those vibrations come from our desires. Sometimes they come from our fears. Most often, they’re a mix of both.

That’s why relationships are so powerful. They give us a living mirror of our inner world. And if we’re willing to look honestly, they offer the raw material for lasting transformation.

This is the story of my client Ken, and how he turned a painful divorce into one of the most profound realizations of his worthiness—and why the woman he once thought had wrecked his life was, in truth, an angel in disguise.

When Ken first came to me, he was in a loving long-term relationship. On the surface, everything was working. But occasionally, his partner would do something that triggered a disproportionate reaction in him—fear, insecurity, even emotional panic.

Over time, it became clear that these weren’t responses to his current partner. They were echoes from a past marriage—an unresolved energetic momentum that had followed him into his new relationship.

This is where the Positively Focused framework really shines. In our work together, we traced the emotional charge back to his previous marriage with Christy, a relationship that ended with bitterness, confusion, and a $1 million divorce settlement Ken never wanted to pay.

The Righteous Indignation That Refused to Die

Ken carried enormous resentment toward Christy. He saw her as someone who pretended to be something she wasn’t—someone who, once injured and unable to work, became a financial and emotional burden. But as we dug deeper, it became clear this resentment wasn’t about Christy. It was about Ken’s story about Christy.

Christy, too, had her own story. A childhood filled with chaos and conditional love had planted deep seeds of unworthiness. Her back injury wasn’t a manipulation—it was the culmination of momentum she had been building for years. And her refusal (or inability) to work wasn’t laziness—it was an unconscious reflection of a belief she wasn’t worthy of the life she desired.

Christy’s beliefs, born of her upbringing, shaped her perspectives on self, marriage and more.

Ken didn’t know that at the time. He just knew he was stuck in a marriage that didn’t feel fair. But he stayed, because deep down, he was carrying a belief of his own: that this was the best he could get. He didn’t believe he could find a better partner. That belief is what made him a vibrational match to Christy in the first place.

The Invitation to Reframe the Past

In our sessions, I asked Ken to do something radical: list every negative belief he held about Christy and their marriage. It took him weeks. The pain of reliving those moments was strong. The momentum of righteous indignation was thick.

But finally, he brought in a list — and together, we softened the statements. We found new ways to see old events. “Christy never wanted to work” became “Christy was in too much pain to work.” Small shifts like these began to loosen his grip on the story he’d been telling himself for years.

Eventually, Ken could see that the real issue wasn’t Christy’s betrayal. It was his inability to recognize his own worth. He had ignored countless signals to leave the marriage because of his scarcity mindset. He didn’t believe another woman would love him. That fear is what kept him in the marriage far longer than his Inner Being wanted to stay.

What Ken saw next blew the whole story wide open: Christy wasn’t the villain. She was the angel who helped him see how much he had been ignoring his own worthiness.

She had played the perfect counterpart to his vibration. She reflected back every bit of doubt, every old belief, every trace of self-deprecation he still carried.

And once he got that — once he saw the co-creative nature of their marriage — he could feel the weight begin to lift. He stopped seeing her as the one who took a million dollars and started seeing her as the one who gave him a priceless gift: self-awareness.

Gradually, Ken began to see Christy as the one who gave him the gift of self-awareness.

The Real Purpose of Physical Reality

This is what we do in the Positively Focused practice. We don’t just help people manifest shiny outcomes—though those do happen. We help them discover the deeper purpose of physical reality: to show us, in exquisite, visceral detail, what our current vibrational output is… so we can tune it.

Life isn’t happening to us. It’s happening through us. And the more we embrace that, the more we step into our own divine nature.

We are, each of us, gods in human form—expanding across infinite dimensions, through every interaction, every heartache, and every breakthrough.

Christy, from this perspective, was no mistake. She was a perfectly tuned expression of Ken’s dominant story—until he was ready to write a better one. And when he did, the results were immediate. His current partner—loving, balanced, and joyful—began reflecting that new story back to him.

There’s Nothing Better Than Watching Yourself Get Better

That’s the magic of this work. You don’t have to wait for the world to change. You just change your story, and the world—your world—will reflect that shift.

Ken didn’t need to “heal” from his past. He just needed to understand it.

And once he did, he could finally let go of the resentment, the blame, and the illusion that he had been a victim. He had never been a victim. He had always been a powerful creator… learning, growing, and becoming the god he already is.

This is why I love the Positively Focused practice. It’s not about fixing broken people. It’s about helping powerful beings remember who they are. There’s nothing better than that.

And when that remembering happens? It feels delicious.

What Happens When You Make the Wind Your Ally

TL;DR: The author relates a story of a client, a college maintenance manager, who faces two setbacks during work. But by shifting perspective, he demonstrates a key aspect of alignment, and in doing transforms these “setbacks” into joy, abundance, and vibrational sovereignty.

There’s a subtle art to living a sovereign life — an art few ever know about let along consciously choose to master. It begins not with rearranging outer circumstances, but by observing the unfolding of experience. Observing it and discovering one’s agency within it. That agency, in the Positively Focused practice, shows up in three primary stages:

Post-Manifestational Awareness: When we realize, after something has already happened, that we could have influenced the outcome — but didn’t. The awareness comes after manifestation, but still offers wisdom.

Mid-Manifestational Awareness: When something is unfolding, and we know we could shape it… but we don’t. Not because we don’t want to, but because dominant momentum — emotional, habitual, historical — keeps us in reaction mode rather than creation mode.

Pre-Manifestational Awareness: When we recognize the unfolding in real time, remember our agency, and consciously activate it — transforming the experience before it completes, thereby alchemizing the moment into something aligned, sovereign, and beautiful as a manifestation.

What one of my clients — let’s call him Kyle — recently demonstrated was a shining example of that final stage. And it all started with a leaf blower.

Stormy Weather and the Setup for Contrast

Kyle works at a college campus, where part of his job is groundskeeping. On a recent Saturday, he showed up expecting a team effort to clean up leaves scattered across the main quad.

But the weather had other plans. It was cold, windy, and wet — the kind of day where even committed coworkers mysteriously “get sick.” One by one, Kyle realized: no one else was coming. He took a breath. And he got to work.

For hours, he methodically cleared the entire quad of autumn leaves — solo. His muscles ached. His feet throbbed. But he pushed through, determined to finish the job. And finally… he did. The quad looked pristine. He stood back to admire the work. There was a sense of accomplishment.

Then — like a perfectly scripted slapstick comedy — a massive gust of wind ripped through the campus. It left leaves everywhere. In one gust, nature rendered the entire morning’s labor undone. In seconds, the wind reversed everything — leaves blew back across the freshly cleared space. The wind erased Kyle’s efforts. Seeing this, his body tightened. His thoughts stirred. He felt a tinge of annoyance….

This was a mid-manifestational moment: he felt the contrast. Kyle knew he had agency — but hadn’t yet fully activated it. Not yet. Still, something inside him shifted. He took another breath, then began clearing leaves again.

Another Opportunity to Choose

He worked harder, faster. Kyle was determined. He got all the newly fallen leaves up. And then…another wind gust. The quad was covered again — completely. That’s when the deeper stories surfaced in Kyle: What if my boss thinks I didn’t do anything when he arrives to work Monday? What if I look lazy? What if I get in trouble for something I actually did right?

The second gust brought more anxiety and frustration, but also fear. Kyle’s emotional momentum got stronger. This time, however, Kyle didn’t just notice it. He took the reins.

He remembered that this wasn’t personal. It was vibrational. The wind was just feedback. A lovingly crafted opportunity to choose his state of being before the story crystallized. And that’s what he did.

He paused. He smiled. Then he got inspired.

He saw what was happening as a pre-manifestational doorway — an invitation from the Universe. It said: choose alignment before the story completes itself. And Kyle did exactly that. He paused. He breathed. And then he reached for a better-feeling thought.

He remembered a scene from The Secret, where the narrator describes imagining money falling from the sky like autumn leaves. And suddenly, Kyle began to imagine each leaf — not as a burden — but as a $100 bill. With this shift in perspective, the wind wasn’t working against him. It was showering him with abundance.

Turning Work Into Wealth

That’s when Kyle literally became a different person. He raced to collect the leaves like a joyful scavenger hunt. He laughed at the storm. Kyle stuffed his trailer like it was an overflowing bank vault. He even timed himself like it was a game.

By the end of the day, his body was still sore — but his vibration was radiant. Kyle not only did his job, he also achieved new heights of vibrational alchemy. What could have been a story of bitterness and burnout became one of alignment, joy, and confidence.

That’s the power of pre-manifestational awareness: it lets us shape the mirror’s image before it fully forms. Most people believe life is happening to them. They react, cope, survive. But Kyle’s story reminds us of the deeper truth: Life isn’t happening to us. It’s responding through us. When we become aware of this — even after the fact — we begin the process of reclaiming our agency.

When we become aware in the middle of a moment, we start to practice holding our power even when momentum is strong. But when we catch it before it lands — when we see the wind blow and realize, this isn’t personal, it’s perfect — that’s when we step into the real magic of deliberate creation.

Everyone Can Do What Kyle Did

You don’t need to work at a college. Nor do you need a windstorm. Life will deliver everyone their own tailor-made “leaf moments”. They may show up as a conversation that doesn’t go the way we planned. Or maybe it’s a task that feels thankless, a delay that disrupts our schedule. Or a storm that blows in at the worst time. These all are portals, opportunities to chart a course through to the divine.

And if we’re paying attention — if we remember who we are, even for a moment — we can choose. We can choose to see the leaves as money and laugh at the timing. We can choose to align before the mirror hardens. That’s pre-manifestational mastery. And like Kyle, we’re more ready for it than we think.

All it takes is a little foreknowledge and awareness and a desire to be happy above all else. It all begins with seeing everything in a positive light. That’s the foundation of the Positively Focused framework. Because positivity is a constant of the Universe. Nothing happens in the Universe that isn’t positive. And if it looks like what’s happening isn’t positive, that’s only because we don’t have a big enough picture to see it the way it actually is.

What Happens When the Mirror Gets This Powerful

TL;DR: Over four intense days, Marcus’s life reflected his vibrational focus with stunning precision. From social scrolls to sacred hugs, each event revealed the truth: life doesn’t punish us—it mirrors us, perfectly and compassionately.

Sometimes, life gives you experiences that are both memorable and multidimensional. Experiences where every moment, every encounter, and every emotional charge reveals exactly what you’re practicing vibrationally. And if you’re paying attention, it becomes the perfect mirror. That’s what happened for a client of mine — let’s call him Marcus — over the course of four days.

The contrast was rich. The orchestration was precise. Marcus’ expansion was unmistakable. And it all began with scrolling on social media.

The Algorithm That Read His Vibration

Marcus hadn’t planned on going deep. He was just passing time. But as he began scrolling through Instagram and Facebook, the algorithm tuned in — and it knew exactly what to deliver. Gaza. Israel. Racism. LGBTQ+ discrimination. Corruption. Division. Outrage.

His scrolling revealed more than political news — it was emotional architecture. Every post added another brick to the structure of fear, injustice, and helplessness Marcus didn’t realize he was building. Instead, he thought he was “staying informed.”

But his body told the truth: He was doomscrolling. He felt drained. His nervous system became frayed. The lightness he normally carried dimmed. He couldn’t see it yet, but he saturated his vibrational field — and life was preparing to reflect it all back.

The Party, the Couple, and the Hug That Meant Everything

Later that day, Marcus went to a pumpkin carving party. The party represented something simple, something creative. Marcus thought he’d have fun. And he did. But he also met himself.

Two men — a gay couple — were there. One white, one Lebanese. The Lebanese partner, whose name happened to be Seth, shared his deep uneasiness living in the U.S. in the current climate. As a gay man of Middle Eastern descent, he didn’t feel safe — not just emotionally, but existentially.

Marcus listened with full presence. Their conversation was honest, layered, and emotionally resonant. And when it ended, they hugged. Seth and his partner then left the party.

But a moment later, Seth returned. He asked Marcus for another hug. Something in the first hug wasn’t finished. So they hugged again — slower this time. More grounded. More knowing. That hug represented more than affection. It was recognition, a soul-level confirmation that Marcus had called in this encounter vibrationally. He called it in so he could see the reflection embodied in his reality. Seth was a living reflection of the very themes Marcus had been engaging with online. But instead of outrage, Marcus met it with love.

This was the first mirror. And it was beautiful.

The Friend That Didn’t Show, and the Feeling That Did

After the party, Marcus got in his car. There he noticed for the first time several texts from his wife. She was worried where he was. When Marcus returned home, she didn’t conceal how she felt. She had a friend who planned to visit, but cancelled at the last minute. So Marcus’ wife was left alone.

Marcus returning home after he said he would, left his wife worried, but also, she excluded. At first, Marcus was confused. He hadn’t intentionally excluded her. They hadn’t made plans after all. But the deeper truth was this: his wife was reflecting Marcus’ beliefs precisely.

Marcus had spent the day consuming content about marginalized people. People being left out of systems, rights, safety, belonging. And now his wife — someone he adores — was expressing that very vibration in real time.

Good thing Marcus caught it. He didn’t defend himself or spiral. He opened. He withdrew from the story — not from her, but from the version of himself who believed he had done something wrong. And in that stillness, something shifted.

The Open Mic and the Rule That No One Followed

The next night, Marcus attended a local open mic. He brought his instrument and signed up early. But he never got to play.

The people who did perform didn’t follow the house rules. They didn’t respect the list or share the space. These people weren’t being malicious, instead they followed their passions and got caught up in the excitement. At first glance, this might seem like bad luck. But vibrationally, it was exact. Following their passions indulgently offered yet another reflection of Marcus’ inner momentum.

They reflected the very societal disorder Marcus had been digesting through his feeds — people not following the rules, not being inclusive, not leaving space for others. The macro showed up in the micro.

It was yet another gift reality shone on Marcus. Life as mirror never misses. It’s always precise.

Your life experience is the same. Life for all of us is a mirror. It’s also a gift. It faithfully reflects our inner state. Why does it do that? So we can know ourselves better. So we can tune into the Source of our life experience: our inner reality. Do something constructive about that inner reality and the mirror — our life experience — must reflect that constructive improvement.

That’s the result all my clients receive once they get good at interpreting what they see in their mirrors.

Marcus had more in store given the momentum he created doomscrolling. Let’s get back to his story.

The Pregnant Woman and the Gentle Realignment

After all this, Marcus did something subtle but powerful. He didn’t push through. He didn’t collapse. Instead, as he sat at the bar, he paused. He meditated inconspicuously — lightly, sincerely. He let go of fixing. He turned toward better-feeling thoughts.

And the next day, his world began responding differently. A miscommunication with his wife resolved into softness and mutual understanding. Arriving at work, he shared an intimate moment with a pregnant coworker. He offered reassurance and calm to her worry about being a new mother. Soothed and thankful, she offered him a surprising career opportunity — seemingly out of nowhere, but perfectly timed.

After all the soothing Marcus did, allowing his doomscrolling momentum to subside, Marcus’ Broader Perspective confirmed he had done the work. The confirmation came in the form of this career opportunity. It was his Broader Perspective winking: you’re back in alignment.

In The Seth Material, there’s a passage I often return to:

“Before you can be allowed into systems of reality that are more extensive and open, you must first learn to handle energy and see, through physical materialization, the concrete result of thought and emotion.”

This is exactly what Marcus experienced. He recognized what happened had nothing to do with being punished. He was training himself. Training himself into being able to perceive the transformation of thought-into-form, the materialization of belief into lived experience.

“As a child forms mud pies from dirt, so you form your civilizations out of thoughts and emotions, and then see what you have created.”

Marcus saw what he had created. And instead of reacting, he chose to recalibrate.

This planet — this dimension — is a training system. A dream-school. A mirror of emotional energy turned physical. And Marcus, like all of us, is here to master the art of turning thoughts into things.

The Dreamer Within the Dream

Marcus had a weekend full of contrast. But he didn’t get stuck in the mud pie. He saw it for what it was — a reflection of what he was ready to integrate.

Marcus practiced power — not force. He used awareness not reaction. Then he practiced love — not as an idea, but as action. He practiced sovereignty — not changing others, but changing where he placed his attention.

“The dreamer dreams, and the dreamer within the dream dreams.”

And in the dream he created, the dream responded.

That’s how this works. The gift that’s physical reality is the ability to see exteriorized our inner state. It’s the greatest gift ever. One that’s always memorable and always multidimensional.

How One Old Fable Hides the Truth About Abundance

TL;DR: The author reexamines Aesop’s famous fable through a spiritual lens, revealing how both diligence and joy arise naturally when aligned with one’s Broader Perspective—culminating in a liberating, heart-opening rewrite of the tale.

For centuries, Aesop’s fable The Ant and the Grasshopper has shaped our cultural mindset about productivity, planning, and what it means to live a good life. You probably know the story:

A diligent ant spends the summer storing food and preparing for winter. Meanwhile, a carefree grasshopper sings and dances in the sun. When winter comes, the grasshopper finds himself cold and hungry, and the ant—well-stocked and warm—scolds him for his laziness. The moral? Work hard today or suffer tomorrow.

But what if that moral is false? What if it’s not even close to how the Universe—or nature—actually works?

And what if that fable, passed down generation after generation, is one of the most well-worn distortions keeping us from trusting joy, spontaneity, and the natural abundance we’re born into?

Let’s take a look through a Positively Focused lens.

A Story Written by the Intellect

The entire structure of the fable rests on a fundamental assumption: that survival is scarce, and only through toil, planning, and resistance to the ease inherent in the now can we secure the future. The ant is praised for “working hard,” while the grasshopper is dismissed for “doing nothing.”

But here’s the truth: in real life, ants don’t know they’re “preparing for winter.” They follow their internal cues. Just as the grasshopper does. Neither is projecting fear into the future. Neither is planning in the way humans do. None of them are working hard. They are both moving as they are designed to move: in tune with the larger intelligence that orchestrates everything from tides to cloud formations to galaxies.

And humans? We’ve overwritten that natural wisdom within us with fear-based beliefs.

The fable upholds a distorted version of value: that worthiness is earned through struggle. That the present moment is a trap unless you’re using it to prepare for the next one. Indeed, indulging in joy, spontaneity, and trusting life will lead to punishment.

This is exactly the kind of thinking that the Positively Focused practice helps us unravel.

The Trap of “Working Hard”

So many of my clients — beautiful, gifted people — come to me carrying this exact programming. I once did too. It shows up in our relationship to money, our creative work, our ability to rest, our relationship to the now, even our self-worth.

Nearly all of us have internalized the idea that ease is irresponsible and joy is unearned. That any expression not tethered to utility or “the grind” is frivolous. And what’s more? We often judge ourselves for wanting to follow our bliss.

But that desire for joy isn’t laziness. It’s guidance.

The desire to bask in the sun, to play a song, to take a nap, to follow an impulse with no “productive” outcome—that’s not a failure of discipline. It’s our Broader Perspective calling us back to our natural alignment. The Universe doesn’t reward effort. It responds to vibration.

Which means: the better we feel, the more the Universe can give us what we ask for.

Joy Is Not Optional—It’s the Signal

The fable pits joy and responsibility against one another. But in reality, they’re inseparable. When we’re aligned, when we’re feeling good, when we’re trusting the unfolding—everything gets taken care of. Including “winter.”

Our Broader Perspective is always guiding us toward the version of our lives where our needs are met, our desires fulfilled, and our expression fully supported. Not through spreadsheets and strain, but through resonance, clarity, and inspired action.

And when contrast shows up—as it did for me recently in the form of forgotten financial fears or a friend’s gloomy worldview—I use it not as a reason to panic, but as an invitation to realign.

When I do that, reality literally shifts. Money shows up on the ground. Clients confirm they’re staying. Opportunities fall into place. My YouTube momentum picks up.

And I didn’t plan for any of it. I allowed it. That’s what the fable misses entirely.

The Grasshopper, Reframed

In this light, the grasshopper isn’t a cautionary tale. He’s a symbol of non-resistance. He holds trust that summer is here to be savored. He’s letting the Universe do the heavy lifting. And the winter? Maybe it never even arrives. But only for him. Because he doesn’t plan for a winter. He aligns to constant abundance.

I know that sounds radical. But I’ve experienced it. So have my clients.

The more aligned we are, the more time and space shift around us. Apparent “deadlines” extend. Unexpected windfalls appear. People bend over backwards to support us. It’s not fantasy. It’s the physics of focus.

So rather than teach the next generation to be afraid of “winter”, what if we taught them to trust their inner song, follow their delight? To move with nature rather than brace against it?

That’s the version of the story I want to tell. And maybe next time, when the ant passes the grasshopper in late autumn, he doesn’t sneer. Maybe he sits down. Listens. And hears a melody that melts the frost of his fears.

The Ant and the Grasshopper: A Story of Alignment

Once upon a summer’s morning, the Earth hummed with golden light. In a quiet clearing, two small beings went about their lives.

One was an Ant. Tireless. Methodical. She moved in lines—back and forth from her colony—gathering bits of grain, storing them deep beneath the soil. Her legs ticked like a clock. Her eyes stayed fixed on the horizon, where winter loomed in her mind like a shadow.

The other was a Grasshopper. Luminous. Iridescent. He leapt through tall stalks of grass, chirping melodies that rose with the breeze. Sunned himself on warm stones. He ate when he was hungry. Slept when he was tired. And sang because it pleased him.

The Ant watched him with a kind of pity.

“Why do you waste time like this?” she called. “You should be working. Winter is coming. You’ll starve.”

The Grasshopper paused. “I trust the Earth,” he replied. “Right now, it’s summer. So I sing.”

The Ant shook her head. “You’ll regret this.”

The Grasshopper didn’t answer. A breeze moved through the field, and he leapt joyfully into it.

Seasons Shift, But Alignment Endures

As days passed, the meadow ripened. The sun stretched long and low. The Ant, now deep in her work, had gathered piles of food, stacked in careful rows. Her back ached. Her mind was restless. Though her pantry was full, her heart was not.

The Grasshopper?

He followed a pathless path. One day he discovered a patch of ripe blackberries. Another day, he encountered a stream with minnows glinting like coins. At night, he curled under leaves and listened to the stars.

He met a turtle who gave him shade. Then a robin who shared her song. And also child who left breadcrumbs from her picnic. He never lacked.

One afternoon, a heavy cloud rolled in. A chill swept the meadow. The Ant hurried home, burdened by fear. But the Grasshopper felt only stillness. He found a hollow log, warm and dry. He rested there. And dreamed.

The Reunion

Months passed. Spring returned. The Earth sighed green again. The Grasshopper stretched in the light. He felt no need to recount the past. Only to leap forward into joy. But as he passed near the Ant’s hill, he saw her—hunched and tired, sorting a new pile of grain. Her eyes darted, already planning for winter.

He approached gently. “Hello again,” he said.

She looked up, startled. “You survived?”

He smiled. “I did more than survive. I lived.”

She frowned. “But you had no food. No shelter. No plan.”

“I had presence,” he said. “And it brought everything I needed.”

She shook her head slowly. “That’s not how life works.”

He tilted his head. “Then whose life have you been living?”

The Moral

The Ant and the Grasshopper parted ways. But that night, as the Ant returned to her tasks, she paused. She thought of his song. The way his eyes shimmered with ease. The calm in his voice. And for the first time, she wondered: what if she had it backwards?

What if all her striving didn’t guarantee safety—but only delayed joy? Might the Grasshopper’s freedom not be luck… but alignment? What if the Universe wasn’t a test to pass… but a partner with whom to dance?

And then—just for a moment—she let herself rest…

And so, dear reader: The Universe doesn’t reward effort. It responds to resonance. Prepare if you feel inspired. Work if it delights you. But above all—listen to your song. Because the grass isn’t greener. It’s alive. And it’s waiting for you to leap.

How My Dreams Made Masculine Energy Powerful Again

TL;DR: The author explores how his inner masculine has risen to serve his feminine creativity—transforming dreams into aligned action, contrast into clarity, and daily life into a sacred union between inspiration and embodiment.

There’s a sacred moment in every creator’s journey when the inner feminine — the current of inspiration, imagination, and receptive knowing — completes her dreaming. She’s gestated ideas, nurtured them in stillness, and filled the field with possibility. Then something extraordinary happens: the inner masculine awakens, ready to move those dreams into form.

That’s where I find myself now — in a new season of my unfolding, where the action energy no longer feels like striving or doing. It feels like devotion. My masculine energy is rising to serve the feminine that is me.

For months, women populated my dream state. Beautiful, multidimensional, radiant women with whom I shared deep intimacy, oneness, and creative communion. These weren’t dreams — they were spiritual confirmation. Each woman represented a facet of my divine feminine energy: connection, creativity, sensual flow, and the embodied ease of being.

Dreams of the Masculine: The Shift in Symbolism

Lately, though, that landscape changed. Men began occupying the dream stage — men, machines, missions, a lot of movement, some messes and hierarchical management roles filled my dream state. All these roles represent masculine-coded imagery.

At first, I wondered where the goddesses had gone. Then I realized they hadn’t left at all. Their creations were simply taking form. The men, the mechanics, the machinery — they represent the forces of manifestation. The principle of action rising to serve what the feminine within me already conceived.

The dreams aren’t less magical, they’re more embodied. They mirror my waking life now: a cascade of projects, collaborations, expressions and divinely-timed manifestations — all arriving with purpose, precision, and power.

Feeling changes in dream state sparked a lot of inspired action.

The Dance of Doing and Allowing

In my physical world, the same balance plays out. My life is full — and gloriously so.

There’s the intimate work with clients, those weekly miracles of alignment where people rediscover their worthiness. There’s the writing: two websites, each a universe of unfolding stories charting my personal expansion. Then there’s the YouTube channel — my new passion project where I’m translating spiritual principles into visual storytelling. I’m also creating an exquisite Positively Focused app. I want more people to benefit from what I offer, beyond 1:1 mentoring. Then there’s my project: The Soul Finder AI Agent I’m coding through Replit. Last but not least, the newest child of inspiration: an edge node project I’m building in support of my enthusiasm for decentralized intelligence through Holochain.

All these represent a symphony of creation, and every movement feels perfectly timed.

When I’m centered, I sense the divine choreography: the feminine energy that came before generating the holistic vision and now the masculine energies executing it in reverence. The fullness isn’t overwhelm. It’s divine, whole orchestration.

But even that balance gets tested.

Contrast as Sacred Calibration

Recently, a new client paused her sessions. A long-term client, Jim, chose to step away entirely. Those contrasting moments could have felt like loss. Instead, they felt like calibration — the Universe asking me whether my masculine energy could stay devotional even when the feminine current temporarily receded.

It could have been easy to interpret those changes as disconnection, as loss. But I know better now. The pauses, the endings, the apparent absences — they’re part of the dance. Each contrast gives me a new reason to stay steady in my alignment. Contrast, in its truest form, is not negative. It’s positive. It’s rocket fuel for the next level of expansion.

When Sally paused, I felt the subtle tug of concern — the masculine impulse to “fix,” to act, to make something happen. When Jim left, a flicker of emptiness showed up, the feminine’s awareness over what seemed to dissolve.

But sitting in stillness with both, I realized something profound: each moment of contrast came to help me integrate both energies more deeply. The masculine in me needed to learn to act without attachment, to do without grasping. The feminine needed to rest in trust, to let go without fearing loss. Both were invited into a higher harmony, one where doing and being no longer opposed each other.

That’s the essence of mastery — not suppressing one energy in favor of the other, but letting them dance together.

Acts are expressions of masculine energy, moving in service and devotion of feminine energy which is creation.

Union Made Manifest

Today, I feel that integration in everything I touch.

When I write, I’m not “producing content.” I’m communing. When I guide a client, I’m not providing a service for income — I’m serving the unfolding intelligence that flows through both of us. When I build software, I’m not coding — I’m translating vibration into architecture.

Every project, every encounter, every dream now feels like the sacred marriage of divine feminine and divine masculine — imagination and implementation, inspiration and action, being and doing.

And what’s most beautiful is how natural it feels. I’m no longer pushing. I’m allowing — allowing the masculine energy to build what the feminine conceives, allowing contrast to polish my faith, allowing the creative process to show me my own evolution.

That’s why, even amid the fullness of my life, I feel light. My days are busy, but my being is unburdened.

This is what happens when masculine energy reclaims its true role: not to dominate or direct, but to devote. To move mountains in service of what the heart imagines.

A Love Story Within

So here I stand — a being married to their own wholeness.

The feminine within me continues to dream, to receive, to conceive. The masculine continues to act, to move, to bring into being. And together, they’ve become the pulse of everything I do.

Even the so-called “hard” moments — the pauses, separations, the deadlines, noise — are proof of this union. Each one reveals that creation and contrast are not opposites. They’re companions.

In the union of these inner forces, I see the template for humanity’s next evolution — one where all of us live as integrated creators, our doing inspired by our being.

That, to me, is the true sacred marriage. The one that turns every act into worship, every project into prayer, and every breath into creation itself.

The Truth About Your Value in the AI World

TL;DR: You were never meant to earn our worth—and the rise of AI proves it. From a Positively Focused perspective, AI doesn’t diminish our value. It frees us to live from inspired alignment, where our presence—not our productivity—is the most powerful force on the planet.

What if the rise of artificial intelligence isn’t a threat to your value… but an invitation to finally stop pretending you ever had to earn it? Let’s be honest: the stories are everywhere. “AI is coming for your job.” “Machines will outthink us.” “We’re headed for mass obsolescence.” It’s tempting to believe this moment is about shrinking. About guarding what’s left. Or proving humans still matter in a world that seems to value output more than essence.

But what if this moment is about something far more thrilling? What if the arrival of AI is actually a global permission slip to stop hustling for your worth? Because here’s the truth: You were never meant to earn your place here. Not before AI, not during it rise, not ever.

AI as a Mirror, Not a Master

For generations, society has fed us a ridiculous myth: that we must do in order to deserve. It told us we must work hard, prove ourselves, make something of ourselves — or else. This is the lie that built capitalism. It’s the lie that fills late-night search histories with phrases like “how to be more productive”, “ways to stand out at work”, “how to improve my hustle” and “how do I get an edge.”

It’s also the lie that fuels so much of the panic about AI. Because if your worth has been tied to how useful you are, what happens when something “more useful” shows up?

But from a Positively Focused perspective, we see that panic for what it is: contrast revealing a deeper reality. One that says our value was never in what we do. It was always in who we are.

AI isn’t some alien intelligence sent to dethrone humanity. WE CREATED IT. It has come from our questions, our dreams, our desire to evolve. In that sense, AI is a mirror. A highly trained, mathematically precise echo of our collective vibration.

Just as dreams reflect the state of our inner being, AI reflects the momentum of collective thought. It carries our curiosity, our anxieties, our longing for efficiency, even our fears and distortions. It also carries our deep yearning for creative freedom. Our yearning for freedom of all kinds. That’s why fearing AI is like fearing a dream: fear misunderstands the point. It treats the reflection as the source.

The real question is not, “What will AI do to us?” It’s, “What does AI reveal about what we do to ourselves?”

And that is something we really should look at. There’s lot of room for humanity to grow there.

From Earning to Allowing

In a world where machines can perform tasks better, faster, and cheaper than humans ever could, we are collectively nudged toward the truth we’ve always resisted: Doing isn’t where our power lies. Being is. Being doesn’t mean “passivity”. It means alignment. Alignment to what? Alignment to our natural state of unlimited love.

It means shifting from survival-driven effort to joy-inspired action. We weren’t meant to grind. We were meant to attune. To hear what wants to move through us and follow that—not because it earns our worth, but because it feels authentically like us.

That’s the path forward in the age of AI: not more performance, but more permission. The challenge, again, the opportunity for growth in that is realizing when we feel a knee-jerk, negative reaction to each of us being “love”, that negative reaction, that resistance, is not the truth. It’s an entry point.

It’s an entry point to greater self love and appreciation as well as the appreciation of others…ALL others. This isn’t new age, smarmy, pap. It’s the future. A future where humanity can begin thriving and stop grinding, hustling and, in the process, missing out on the beauty of All That Is.

What AI Can’t Touch

Let’s look at some things we gloss over when thinking about artificial intelligence: It cannot feel joy. AI cannot love. Artificial intelligence cannot soften into a dream and wake up with new eyes, a new perspective, and a thrill only given to the dreamer. AI cannot hold a newborn and see the Universe in its eyes. It can simulate. AI can predict. It can assist. But it cannot be. That’s our realm.

So is the realm of eternity. Some humans strive for immortality in the age of AI. The paradox is, we already are immortal. We live on beyond what humans call death. It’s just that so many of us have failed to remember that absolute fact.

Our eternal presence — conscious, connected, flowing — is the greatest asset on Earth. Because it’s through that presence that All That Is expands. It always was that way and will forever be that way.

But now, as machines take over the doing, machines offer us the opportunity for our being to move to the forefront. For being to take center stage. It’s the opportunity for the authentic us to shine. So if you fear replacement, don’t. Instead, embody radiance.

How? I write about that every week here in my blog and now, I talk about it on YouTube.

You Are the Dreamer, Not a Product

None of us came here to compete with the tools we create. We came to wake up inside the dream. AI is part of that dream—again, crafted by us, for us. It’s not meant to make us obsolete, it can’t do that. But it can give us back the one thing we’ve forgotten how to trust: our innate creative worth. The more we relax into who we really are, the more everything begins to rearrange itself around that knowing.

We don’t need to scramble to stay ahead of the curve. The curve is us. We are the evolution. So let this moment be what it really is: a call to reengage and trust our alignment. Let the machines do what they’re here to do—so we can do what only we can do: Love, radiate, exist in-joy. Be.

Our worth is not at risk. Our worth is rising. And the more we let it, the more everything—AI included—will reflect that truth back to each and every one of us.

Why Your Dreams Matter More Than You Think

TL;DR: The author shares two powerful client dreams — one featuring Vladimir Putin, the other a transgender escort — to show how dreams mirror dominant beliefs, and emotional momentum, thereby showing where one is relative to achieving their deepest desires.

Some people say they don’t dream. Others say they do, but think their dreams are just gibberish—random nonsense, neurons firing off, the brain processing the day’s events. But what if that assumption was completely wrong? What if our dreams are actually our most accurate, uncensored spiritual feedback system next to our emotions?

A new client recently asked in session: “Why isn’t this material taught in school? If people learned this stuff early on, they’d live way better lives.” She’s right. If we understood what dreams are actually showing us, we’d know exactly where we are vibrationally—and how close or far we are from the life we want most.

Let me show you how, using two dreams from a client I’ll call Daniel.

Dreams as vibrational mirrors

In the Positively Focused practice, dreams aren’t psychological leftovers. They’re real-time broadcasts from our Broader Perspective, offering feedback on: Our dominant emotional state, belief constellations at the forefront of our experience and the size of the vibrational gap between where we are and what we want. They’re not predictions. They don’t “mean” one rigid thing. Instead, they’re energy reports. And when interpreted clearly, they can change our lives.

Which brings us to Daniel and his dreams, which were predominately about power and shame. Daniel had been working through deep contrast around a woman he still loves — a powerful, beautiful trans escort we’ll call Irene. Their relationship was complicated: transactional, emotionally charged, and karmically dense. Daniel fell in love. Irene remained elusive. They mirrored each other’s strongest, most dominant beliefs.

Because of that, their transactional relationship, for Daniel, dipped into a romantic one. Irene wanted that too, to some degree, but her hatred of men and self-loathing forced her to keep emotional intimacy with Daniel at a distance. That triggered even more Daniel’s old beliefs, which caused him to push harder for a relationship beyond the transactional one. And that caused Irene to resist even more.

Eventually the relationship (the transactional one) blew up with Irene going her way and Daniel, bitter, angry and frustrated yet still pining for her, going the other. Daniel felt an extremely strong connection with Irene. Irene felt it too, but couldn’t even begin to acknowledge its presence. Therefore, Daniel resolved to use the Positively Focused practice to rendezvous with a better version of Irene. One who could welcome a “real” relationship with open arms.

Dreams as vibrational maps

But Daniel had a LOT of negative momentum making him not a match to such a relationship. That explained why he was seeing escorts, hanging at strip clubs, drinking excessively and porn binging. So creating a better version of Irene would take a while I explained.

One day in session long after that conversation, Daniel began feeling like it was taking too long. This is a common thread for him. Impatience, thinking he knows when something should happen, instead of trusting divine timing, plagues him. So he asked me where he stood, vibrationally, in manifesting a reunion with Irene. It was a reoccurring subject in our sessions, reflecting Daniel’s obsession with Irene. An obsession that worked against him creating a better version of her.

Up to this point, Daniel created a TON of evidence showing he was becoming successful at creating the reunion. But he kept wobbling between belief, hope and eager anticipation – all emotions consistent with him receiving what he wants – and disillusionment, doubt, pessimism and hopelessness. Pain this wobble caused gave Daniel the momentum necessary to have a dream. A dream that amplified everything I had been telling him. It was a perfect, positive dream, but Danial woke from it convinced it was a nightmare.

It wasn’t a nightmare. It was a vibrational map.

A dream reflecting so much

In the dream, Daniel is in a car with his parents and Vladimir Putin. They’re navigating a steep, winding driveway in what seems to be Daniel’s own car in waking life: a high performance, manual transmission European model. Daniel wants Putin to try driving it. He’s excited to know what this powerful man thinks of his “vehicle” — a potent symbol for how Daniel views his own life path and seeks external validation.

Putin drives the car fast, taking blind corners recklessly. Yet, he’s unimpressed. They stop at a pastry shop. Daniel’s father mutters something insulting under his breath—Putin hears it. His eyes flash with murderous rage. But then something strange happens.

Putin notices Daniel’s father’s lifestyle: sleeping all day, eating jelly beans, cake and drinking Snapple. He sees the poor habits, the undisciplined routine. At first he thinks this guy lives a pathetic life. But then….he softens. Not out of compassion—but indifference.

“This man,” he seems to think, “is so weak and pathetic… he’s not even worth killing.”

Putin’s extreme judgement mirrors Daniel’s own judgement for himself and his father.

That’s the moment Daniel felt most gutted. Not by violence, but by dismissal. And that’s the point. This dream wasn’t about Putin or Daniel’s father. It was a metaphorical embodiment of Daniel’s internal conflict.

He sees his desire for self-love and spiritual reunion (the path) as something noble — but he often hands the wheel to a distorted, masculine archetype: control, fear, shame, domination and aggression. He craves power, but feels like a fraud. He wants approval, but fears worthlessness. It’s not Putin judging him. It’s him judging himself — mercilessly. Just as he — Daniel mercilessly judges his father.

A dream about desire and exposure

A few nights later, Daniel has another dream. This time, Irene is at the center.

He finds her with another man—a new boyfriend who also is a personal trainer. Daniel tries to contact her but ends up talking to the man instead. What unfolds is intense: Daniel begins exposing Irene to her new partner. “Do you know how much she hates men?” “Can you afford to be with her?” He feels righteous… and also embarrassed. Suddenly, she’s physically there—close to him in the dream. She steals a PS Vita out of his pocket, a small gaming device that was a market failure.

The boyfriend scolds her gently: “Stop that, Irene. I’ve seen her do that before.” he tells Daniel. Then Irene turns to Daniel and screams: “You just can’t get enough of me, can you?”

And in that moment all is revealed. Irene is exposed. Daniel is exposed. They’re both tangled in projection, shame, power play… and still, longing. Daniel woke up from this dream deeply pessimistic. He described himself feeling “defeated”. He thought the dream showed him his desire was futile.

But the dream wasn’t showing him he was failing. It showed him the perfect vibrational snapshot of where he stands relative to what he wants:

  • The PS Vita = a symbol of communication of spiritual connection,fun and joy. It also represents his connection to the pure positive energy that is his Broader Perspective.
  • Irene stealing the PS Vita = Daniel has put her on a pedestal, above his connection with himself. She literally steals his connection to the divine, a symbol of Daniel prioritizing her over connection with himself.
  • The righteousness = his current coping strategy for unresolved grief and control
  • The revenge he wreaks on Irene = the contempt he still feels for Irene which is pushing her away, not drawing her near
  • Her words = an acknowledgment of their undeniable connection. A promise that the relationship is ready…when Daniel becomes a vibrational match to it. Also, a powerful indication of how desperately attached he is.

What these dreams reveal

This wasn’t a nightmare. It was a wake up call. It is contrast revealed symbolically. It’s feedback, lovingly offered, so Daniel can see what he’s emanating—and why it’s blocking what he wants.

The correct response to the dream? Conjure better feeling thoughts about the relationship Daniel wants. Soothe old beliefs about betrayal, emotional abuse and belittlement. Relax into what it would feel like to have the relationship Daniel wants. All of these are part of the Positively Focused framework. And Daniel has had success implementing them.

But because he wobbles between empowering beliefs and disempowering ones, he’s moving two steps forward and one-and-three-quarters steps backward. And that’s why his progress is so slow seeming!

Dreams are offering profound guidance. Life can go so much better being aware of them.

Together, these two dreams lay out Daniel’s entire journey:

  • He wants reunion, but his momentum says “you’re not ready yet.”
  • Daniel wants love, but still filters it through manipulation and judgment.
  • He wants softness, but keeps relying on authoritarian control over others.
  • Danial craves self respect but can’t get that until he respects (stops condemning) his father, and, as an extension, respects himself.

And the moment he understands all this — not intellectually, but vibrationally — he softens. Again, he’s experienced that softening over and over and over in brief flashes. They last long enough to show him what he wants is there. He just needs a more consistent practice.

But he can’t develop that because he sees these dreams as punishments, when, instead, they’re pathways.

Why this should be taught in schools

Too many people think dreams are random. Too many think nightmares are warnings. So many wake up feeling fear about what was actually a clear, loving message from their Broader Perspective. Others wake up oblivious to very powerful, valuable guidance.

Dreams are our personal vibrational syllabus. So “Why isn’t this taught in school?” Good question. If children learned to read dreams as vibrational maps, they’d understand their emotions, desires, and resistance by the time they hit adolescence. Then they wouldn’t chase worth through unhealthy habits and toxic relationships. They’d stop mistaking anger and bully behavior for power. They’d live lives of conscious creation, emotional honesty, and spiritual integration.

And in doing so, they would lives lives as adults as extraordinary people.

Our dreams constantly inform us. The question we must ask is: Are we listening? We don’t need to decode everything all at once. We can just start by noticing we have dreams. Write them down, let the symbols breathe. Ask: What does this reflect back to me? What does it tell me about where I am—and where I want to be?

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

A 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 you, as you. So I’ll end this post with the following: Are you willing to be that powerful?

Because you already are.

How to Make Money Appear Without Lifting a Finger

TL;DR: The author shares a vivid real-life example of how alignment, trust, and vibrational integration led to a surprise cash manifestation—confirming that the Universe always responds, often with ease and delightful abundance.

Some stories are too perfect not to share. This one is a powerful demonstration of what happens when you release resistance, align with your Broader Perspective, and allow the Universe to show you how deeply it has your back.

Earlier today, I had two client sessions that stirred some old belief momentum in me. One client was preparing for a vacation in Norway, and the other was getting ready for a major surgery. Both are long-time clients, and as I considered their upcoming plans, old thoughts started to surface: Would they pause their sessions? Would my income dip as a result?Scarcity and limitation—those old gremlins—began whispering again.

I didn’t push them away. Instead, I followed the practice I’ve honed for years.

Integration in presence

I walked into the park near my apartment, into the warm, gentle summer air, and let myself feel what I was feeling. I acknowledged the scarcity thoughts, honored the emotions that came with them, and then gently brought myself into the now. Into presence. I let myself remember that in this moment, nothing is missing.

Then, I did something else: I invited those old beliefs back in — not to fuel them, but to soothe them. I welcomed them as parts of myself ready for re-integration. As I did, I felt relief. Spaciousness. Alignment.

When I returned from the park, I still hadn’t heard from the client going on vacation, but the client preparing for surgery—who I had assumed might cancel several upcoming sessions—instead canceled just one. One session, not four. That in itself was a beautiful alignment.

I took the next 30 minutes (a gap created by a rescheduled session) to meditate. That time was a gift. The whole day was already flowing better.

Later, I followed a spontaneous impulse to invite a new friend for a walk. She showed up at 5:15, and we set out on a beautiful loop through my neighborhood.

As we walked, she asked how my day had gone, and I shared what I just shared with you. I also mentioned that I wanted to ride my bike to a local farm this Thursday to pick berries. The farm only accepts cash, and I rarely carry cash. I told her I didn’t really want to pay an ATM fee or get cash back at a grocery store. It was a small thing, but it was on my mind.

Then we let it go. We moved on to other topics, enjoying the rhythm of our walk and the lightness of the evening.

The manifestation happens

About a mile from home, we walked through the neighborhood’s main transit center. As we crossed a familiar stretch of sidewalk, I heard that quiet, loving nudge from my Broader Perspective:

“Look over there.” I turned my head.

There on the ground — neatly folded — was a pair of bills. At first, I thought they were singles. But when I picked them up, I saw the number: two crisp $20 bills. $40 – way more than I expected.

It was like magic. Only it wasn’t magic. It was a manifestation through alignment.

I showed my friend and smiled. Then I connected the dots. This was a manifestation. The Universe had heard me.

I wanted to go berry picking without the annoyance of ATM fees. I had practiced my alignment and soothed my scarcity thoughts. Also, I had invited those beliefs back into myself for re-integration. I had made space.

And the Universe responded—not just with what I asked for, but with abundance. The berries will cost no more than $6. That means I’ll have over $30 left. The Universe didn’t just meet my need. It overflowed it.

Tune to it

Here’s the kicker: Normally I prepare my blog posts in advance so I have several weeks scheduled ahead. But last weekend, I didn’t do that. I had three weeks of posts lined up, but not a fourth. Earlier today, my AI companion and I worked on one story. Now here’s a second. Perfectly timed. Perfectly aligned. The blog is on schedule. My berry-picking dream is funded. And I’m once again reminded: everything is always working out for me.

This is why I teach what I teach. It’s why I live Positively Focused. Because when you tend your vibration first—when you make your alignment your priority—life shows up for you. Tangibly. Playfully. Generously.

This wasn’t just $40 on the ground. It was a love note from the Universe. A nod that says, “Yes, you’re in sync. Keep going.”

To everyone reading this: the money, the relationship, the relief—it’s all lining up for you too. Your job isn’t to make it happen. Your job is to tune to it.

The Universe doesn’t respond to action. It responds to vibration. And when your vibration is clear, even something as simple as cash on the ground becomes a doorway into wonder.

And yes, dear reader, I will enjoy those berries.

Why AI’s Best Future Needs an Awakening of Spirit

TL;DR: The author explores how aligning with spiritual clarity ensures humanity embraces the promise — not the peril — of artificial intelligence. This piece reframes the Stellar future proposed by Tony Seba and James Arbib. It suggests the future is a vibrational invitation, not a technological threat. As such, the author asserts, it offers humanity a powerful seat in shaping the future.

What if humanity’s future hinges not just on tech innovation, but on how deeply we root ourselves in spiritual alignment?During my recent Worthiness Wednesday vlog, I proposed a bold concept: that the inner development of worthiness and the outer explosion of AI technologies must converge. It’s the way to the fully optimistic future available to us all.

We’re on the cusp of entering what Tony Seba and James Arbib of RethinkX call a stellar civilization—a system powered by stellar technologies. Stellar technologies include solar power, wind power, AI, robotics, precision fermentation, and battery storage.

These technologies scale exponentially. In doing so, they lower costs and increase access for all. As Seba explains: “Once built, they keep producing with almost no additional input. That’s never happened before”.

But real and lasting transformation isn’t just technical. It also must be metaphysical. If we don’t have a spiritual foundation, abundant technologies can amplify fear and scarcity. We see that already with so many concerned about “terrifying” futures AI, alone, portends.

If, however, we cultivate inner worthiness, AI becomes a tool for species upliftment. Instead of the source of scary scenarios. Seba agrees, as you’ll see.

What Stellar Means—and Why Spirit Matters

Stellar systems require sunlight and are self perpetuating. Such systems depend on no ongoing extraction. A society based on such systems produces extreme abundance that eventually replaces scarcity and limitation.

This matters deeply for spiritual alignment. If you feel worthy, you trust the unfolding. The natural abundance of the Universe becomes your reality. That abundance then becomes perpetual. You don’t grasp — you let go. You don’t combat — you align. Limits then are dissolved as are the distorted beliefs they represent.

Seba and Arbib describe how familiar systems collapse when new ones emerge: “We’re not building the butterfly,” They say. “We’re sticking wings on the caterpillar”. The extractive order built our current existential structures. These structures are hierarchical, competitive and scarcity‑based.

Such structures were necessary. After all, they have benefitted humanity tremendously. Now, however, it’s time we expand beyond them. That’s what All That Is is offering. And it’s offering that in response to our asking. In other words, we are the creators. We’re living into our creation. Stellar civilizations are that creation.

Breaking free from the old, extractive order requires spiritual evolution. An evolution matching the emerging technological evolution. In other words: if we don’t evolve being, abundance can collapse us into old fears.

A Stable Foundation

Consider the alternative: AI and robotics improve ten‑fold every year, humanoid robots operational costs approach $0.10/hour by 2045. These are not isolated systems. Nor are these figures are not fantasies. Instead, they are curves coming into synch with what is our future. Yet without spiritual alignment, these innovations will amplify inequality, loneliness, or even create weaponized versions of themselves. That’s because these technologies are mirrors of our collective inner state.

And if you observe humanity, you’ll find evidence of what that inner state contains. It contains a lot. A lot of good stuff. And a lot of not so much good stuff. We could argue that there’s more not-good-stuff in that container. But if that were true, humanity would have ended itself long ago. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of not-good-stuff in there. There is. But the ratio of influence between positive vibrations and not-positive ones is not 1:1. It’s more like 1 × 1⁰¹⁵ : 1.

That’s not an exaggeration.

This influence disparity ratio explains why human civilization continues to thrive, often despite itself. It’s literally a three-steps-forward, two-steps-back endeavor, netting one step forward. That’s something I’ll write more about in the future. Our rather lacking spiritual maturity perpetuates slow progress. That’s why inequality, war and other unwanted situations still exist.

By contrast, spiritual maturity—worthiness grounded in recognizing inner evidence of universal love and supply—creates a stable foundation. In worthiness, we welcome AI as an expression of All That Is. We let the Universe serve us. Fear doesn’t drive us. In worthiness, we understand that reality is vibrational, not transactional. We see that abundance in the outer world simply reflects the alignment and plenty of the inner world. And from there, we realize the ways we’ve run our societies are not universal constants.

That means we can embrace them changing. Changing for the better. For the better for all.

Why This Moment Is a Spiritual Opportunity

We may be experiencing the fastest, deepest transformation of civilization ever. Indeed the pace is faster than the agricultural and industrial eras combined, according to some. But these “stellar” possibilities won’t be guaranteed for all. Not unless we make choices that move us towards inclusion. And since the abundance on the horizon is virtually unlimited, for all practical purposes, why not include everyone?

If we stay in scarcity narratives and old patterns, AI becomes extractive. If we align, we step into co‑creation of super abundance. And that requires worthiness. Worthiness allows us the possibility that another’s gain is our gain. That’s not naïve—it’s necessary. It’s also a universal constant.

Tony Seba urges: “Protect people, not jobs, firms, or industries”. That’s a spiritual statement. It says: no matter what changes externally, every human being is sacred and unreplaceable. AI isn’t about replacing us. Instead, it’s about liberating us. Liberating us from our spiritual immaturity. Liberating us so we can create in ways that matter. And in creating those ways liberate others.

Alignment is the throughline of the Positively Focused practice. It means we recognize manifestations—like receiving $10K no strings attached, or a miraculous synchronicity— as important. We see them as confirmations that the Universe loves us. Not as isolated, random coincidence.

What Alignment Looks Like in Practice

When we collect these manifestations, we do more than that. We also remember how they happened. Further, we recognize their synchronistic nature. These aren’t coincidences. They are the Universe’s blessings. Those blessings are bestowed upon us because we’re inherently deserving of them. Unless we block them through our resistance.

When we release the resistance, however, we begin filling a basket that, once filled, something notable happens. We realize the Universe loves us. From there, worthiness happens naturally. Worthiness can’t be conjured. It emerges on its own once we realize the unlimited number of ways universal blessings fill and shape our lives.

Again, our worthiness basket is filled through noticing small and large manifestations. A closed client becoming open again, for example. Or seemingly random events happening like animals rendezvousing with us. Keeping tabs on this evidence creates trust in the unfolding. Trust emerges naturally when we see the performance of something we want to trust being consistent in its performance. This is why assembling the worthiness basket is important. The basket fosters trust. Worthiness then, is the next natural evolution of that trust.

In a stellar future, the external syntax changes—AI writes code, robots automate logistics, solar delivers free electricity. But the internal syntax remains the same. We remain at the mercy of distorted beliefs. Or we choose sovereignty. In sovereignty, one asks: Is this expansion aligned with my spiritual trajectory? In distortion, one says: this future is terrifying we must protect ourselves from it.

Spiritual Alignment and Conscious Surrender

Stellar civilizations aren’t just about self‑sustaining systems. They’re also about self‑sustaining spiritual systems. They’re about inner clarity, worthiness, spiritual sovereignty. They encourage a process in the individual. When spirit and AI converge, we are invited into vocation, not occupation. Into radiance, not resistance.

We may not need to build regulatory structures for AI. Not if we’ve already built them in our hearts. Nor need we fear disruption if we’re aligned with being rather than becoming. The choice is ours. We can ride the phase‑change disruption or be worn by it. In a stellar paradigm, the choice is always ours. That choice happens through spiritual alignment and conscious surrender.

This is the most beautiful invitation of this moment: to align worthiness and wonder with technological possibility. That offers an incredible future. One in which we become so vibrationally radiant that AI is just another expression of All That Is supporting our highest expansion.

Stellar civilizations, as Seba puts it, requires “Stellar Humans,” people who rise above distorted beliefs that have them feeling insecure, competitive and limited. We can’t have one without the other. Stellar humans inhabit stellar civilizations.

So the question, then, is: are you becoming stellar?
