TL;DR: Amid mass federal layoffs under Trump and Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Positively Focused client defied the odds. DOGE terminated him. But he used the power of his positive focus and got his job back.
It’s so wonderful seeing clients take charge of their lives. When they create what seem like impossible manifestations, I revel in their creations. That’s because I know such creations aren’t impossible. They’re just what happens when one aligns with their powerful, pure, positive energy.
Back in February, a client created truly convincing evidence of how powerful that alignment is. Through his evidence he literally defied the power of the entire Trump Administration. While thousands of federal workers mourned losing their jobs as a result of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) purge, this client, who first got swept up in that same wave, remained positive about what happened. He knew he creates his reality. What flowed from that surprised neither him nor me.
Let’s look at what happened.
The setup
This advanced client works for a federal agency here in the Northwest. On Thursday, his wife, who also is a client, texted me.
“[My husband] was just terminated today” the text read.
DOGE targeted this agency among many others. Prior to his termination, Dennis (not his real name), like many federal employees, got an offer to resign by Feb. 6. Another client of mine got the same message. He works in the Department of Energy (DOE). That client took the resignation offer. It worked for him perfectly.
Dennis didn’t take the offer though. He likes what he does and is very good at it. And, because he’s Positively Focused, his team loves him. Especially his boss. He’s so good at his job, colleagues gave him a number of monetary and other recognitions last year. But Dennis just started at the agency. His six-month probation status had DOGE target him and everyone else on probation.
The efficiency program targeted many others too. As a result, DOGE terminated 40 percent of Dennis’ team members. As you can guess, that pissed off a lot of those people. They raged against Musk and Trump and DOGE. According to Dennis, this was their general attitude BEFORE the terminations happened. And to me, that’s not a surprise.
Here’s why.
It’s our dominant vibration
It’s really hard for people to get this, but people create their own reality. That happens ongoingly. And that stream of ongoing creation doesn’t stop. Ever. What’s also hard for people to understand is that their persistent negative focus will keep matching them to equally negative events in life. And the more negative a person becomes, the more negative their life will get.
That’s because life reflects back to us our dominant vibration. It reflects our dominant vibration so we can use that reflection to, among other things, improve our lives. Many people don’t understand this, however. So when something negative happens in their lives, instead of taking corrective measures, they’ll often double down on beliefs (beliefs are vibration) that created the experience in the first place.
Even if they do start focusing on more positive thoughts, that negative momentum still exists. It will continue creating negative events for a while. Until that momentum peters out AND the new positive momentum becomes dominant.
This explains why some people try thinking positively, or they try Law of Attraction, don’t get what they want (or think they don’t), then conclude Law of Attraction is bullshit. What they don’t understand is what you just read: anyone trying out Law of Attraction must understand that their old momentum will persist for a while, while they create new, positive momentum.
How they got terminated
When talking with Dennis before he and his colleagues got termination notices, he regularly shared how negative his colleagues were about what they feared would happen. They also shared disgust with Trump and Musk. Dennis offered a counter perspective, but each time he did, those people did exactly what you read above: they doubled down on their fears and negativity.
Now it seems like a coincidence, but those people met the ax specifically because of their dominant negative momentum. Momentum inherent in their dominant negative focus was reflected back to them in the form of being terminated. It’s the same focus progressives shared that put Trump in office in the first place!
If you resist what you don’t want, or if you complain about it or push against it in ANY way, you’re adding momentum to, and will get more of, what you don’t want. Progressives and democrats focused a LOT on Trump not winning. The problem with that focus is, the Universe doesn’t hear “not”. So if you think “I don’t want Trump to win” you’re telling the Universe “I want Trump to win”. And that’s what you’ll get.
So Dennis’ team members focused a LOT on negative thoughts about Trump, Musk, federal service and fears about how that might change. They also focused a lot on getting fired. So it’s no surprise Dennis’ team members got the ax.
It turns around
Not Dennis though. Well, he did at first. That’s because Dennis wanted to show to himself how powerful he is. Even after getting terminated, Dennis knew everything works out perfectly for him. He knew he creates his reality through the thoughts he thinks about everything and everyone. He also knows Trump and Musk don’t decide his future, he does. And he does that by being as high-flying vibrationally as he can.
Friday was the first day of his post-termination status. He decided he’d take the whole long weekend to just sit and tell better-feeling stories about what happened. On Saturday, as usual, he went busking at the local farmer’s market. There, a woman and young daughter, who often approach him when he’s playing, approached him.
Dennis is a very good performer and a regular at the market. The daughter approached his bucket and dropped a $20 bill in it. Dennis was shocked and deeply appreciative. He looked to the mom and expressed his appreciation.
“I heard what happened,” she said. “You’ll be alright.”
Dennis didn’t know how the hell this woman knew about his termination, he told me afterwards. But he knew this was evidence that everything was going his way. Then he saw his boss at the market. Dennis had never seen him there before. They exchanged pleasantries and Dennis knew THAT wasn’t a coincidence either.
So on Sunday, Dennis got a phone call that wasn’t surprising. It was his boss.
“Effective immediately,” he said on the phone. “We’re rescinding your termination. You’re fully reinstated starting Tuesday after the holiday. Consider Friday as an administrative leave day.”
Unbelievable?
Dennis wasn’t at all surprised because he knows how the universe works. As a result, he produces Jedi-level results: he literally creates his reality, including circumstances and people in that reality. Of course, his wife is in on the act too. As a Positively Focused client herself, she knew everything was going to work out and she’s super proud of how Dennis handled all this.
There are probably tens of thousands of federal employees who DOGE is targeting. And many other Americans are up in arms about what Musk and Trump are doing. But those two people CANNOT determine those people’s future…unless they give Trump and Musk their power. They do that by focusing on what those two are doing and complaining about it. And if you’re enraged by their acts, then you have given Trump and Musk your power too.
Dennis’ story sounds unbelievable because it stands out from almost every other federal worker experience. He defied Trump & Musk’s ‘DOGE’ Purge. Why couldn’t all the others?
Because most people don’t know the power of positivity. Nor do they understand how the Universe works. So they keep getting more of what they don’t want. Some get some things they do want, but a lot of those people’s lives don’t reflect the joy and freedom available to them.
Dennis’ life though is becoming different. Dennis is getting exactly what he wants and more. He’s being shown how much the Universe is on his side. He’s also showing himself how powerful he is. More powerful even, than the Trump Administration.
TL;DR: The author recounts a recent experience of intense physical sensations, confirming their progress in mastering shapeshifting. This experience, coupled with past Ayahuasca journeys, suggests a separation of identity from the physical body is necessary for successful shapeshifting. The author remains optimistic, believing their desires are manifesting and their body is calibrating to achieve these transformations.
Things are heating up around results showing I’m becoming a shapeshifter. Indeed, what happened last night (on Dec. 31) is the most intense, confirming event yet. It literally had me marveling. Marveling at the experience and marveling at how far I’ve come.
Shapeshifting is among the leading-edge manifestations I’m expressing as a master of the deliberate creation process. Yes, that’s right. I’m coming into owning that I’ve mastered creating my reality. As a result, I’m wanting to see how far I can take this You Create Your Own Reality (YCYOR) business Seth talks about.
Abraham says whatever the Universe gives you the wherewithal to conceive you can achieve by the power Law of Attraction. Seth has said we would find life far more fascinating by exploring the mobility of our consciousness as intently as we explore the world around us.
My experiences confirm this. So much of my life is turning out to be a magnificent adventure of exploration. Of self-exploration, and an exploration of All That Is in the microcosm (me), which allows access to understanding the macrocosm (All That Is).
Let’s look at what happened last night as a way of enjoying the wonderful unfolding taking place.
The experience
Last night, about 20 minutes prior to getting in bed, a happening unfolded. That happening I’m totally up to speed with, and so I wasn’t excited about it nor was I scared. As I moved about preparing for bed, my face and neck started changing. It’s the same sensation I feel sometimes when meditating, only this time I wasn’t doing that. The skin about my neck and head, particularly around my face, felt like it wanted to change into something else.
Recognizing this, I accepted what was happening. I knew it was my cells, the cooperative component energies comprising this body, calibrating to the action I put in motion with the intention of becoming a shapeshifter. So as strange as it felt, I accepted it until I became comfortable with it.
Then I got in bed. The moment I did, the moment I got comfortable, sensations I felt in my neck and face took over my entire body. Again, had I not known what was happening, had I not known I did this, I would have been frightened. Instead, I marveled at the sensations while being indifferent about what was happening. I knew if I tried to tangle my awareness into it, by trying to egg it on or focus it in some way, that would put the kibosh on it.
Well, that worked.
Things get even weirder
Because what happened next was the sensations amplified by probably 5-10X! It wasn’t uncomfortable or scary, but it was new. I hadn’t experienced this total body involvement before while being out of meditation!
At a couple of points in the process, it felt like a giant hole opened in my mattress exactly where the base of my spine was. I felt the body, or me as conscious energy, perhaps, being drawn into that hole, like I was debris being sucked down a drainpipe. I remained calm, observing how strong these sensations got, especially around my spine.
What’s really interesting about this experience was a similar experience I had while being guided by Mother Ayahuasca some time ago. During one particular session, my goal was to deeply understand what I am beyond my physical body.
Abraham confirming that everything is possible. Any desire inspired by physical reality is ours to have. But only when we line up with that, meaning, when we believe it’s possible.
Confirming the experience
That deeper understanding I received was overwhelming. The amount or intensity of the energy that I am, that I revealed to myself to be, was so infinite I couldn’t bear to be in my human form and witness it at the same time. That energy focused itself and spilled out into me and through me right at the center of my belly: the same place where I was “sinking” into last night! It was exactly the same sensation!
Here are notes from that Aya journey, written in my journal right after that event:
The peak experience was first recognizing me in my fullness. I’m literally more than I can handle in this physical framework. I[t] was so intense and expansive….I radiate out of my belly, but maybe even centered more around my pelvic region. I swirl. And in the swirling I expand outward.
But the biggest part of this experience of me was how powerful my focus is. It’s SO FREAKING STRONG….overwhelming really. Just pure, immense, unlimited energy…focused in the direction of this physical, consensual reality….just awesome.
So that’s how the peak experience started. I couldn’t feel the enormity of me though. I felt that had I done that, I would have gotten into some trouble…
So clearly, there’s an overlap of experience here, a confirmation. Both events indicating that I was identifying, then moving my identity into, the core of what I am. And that’s an important step in shapeshifting, because, as I’ve said before, my identity must separate from my physical body for the body to adopt the new vibrational frequencies I’m focusing shifting into. Not making that separation will result in fear. Mostly fear of annihilation, which is what the shifting will feel like if I identify with my body. That fear will instantly halt the shifting.
“Ok, you’re ready for more”
What’s interesting is, these shapeshifting preparedness events are coming closer together, meaning, I think, that I’m getting more and more familiar with the full-blown version of this ability. Because of that, my Broader Perspective may be giving me more such events closer together, like it’s saying “ok, you’re ready for more….here you go…”
This whole event probably would have gone on as long as I was open to it. But I needed the body to sleep. I wanted to get into nonphysical. So I turned over to go to sleep, but the sensations continued. They continued, as far as I know, until I fell asleep.
My nonphysical sleep travels were no less rewarding. They included confirmation of my success in this life as well as me working through gender-related beliefs that are partly responsible for my shapeshifting desires.
I woke from these dreams the next morning (this morning, as I’m writing this right after my meditation) feeling joyful and full of satisfying feelings of accomplishment, self-awareness, and passion.
Anything is possible
Waking from dreams feeling that way is a great sign. I felt so sure my shapeshifter desire is fulfilling itself, I took a full-body photo of myself as male so as to have a record of the coming changes.
Then I went into meditation this morning, with last night’s dreams and the evening before’s experience front-of-mind. It’s no surprise then that sensations from the evening before returned. Only this time, they continued, even as, while in meditation, I focused on dream recall and focusing on being conscious of my conscious awareness. The sensations increased, and I felt my hips starting to widen. I also felt my shoulders slender as they did before…
The sensations continued until and past the hour meditation chime. I came out of meditation six minutes after that.
This is a good sign. My body and the energies comprising it, are calibrating. They’re preparing to align with and deliver the experience I set an intention to have.
So much progress is happening along all the desires I’ve held for some time. It’s awesome that in such a short time, so much progress has shown itself. What’s powerful about all this is both Abraham and Seth say we can create anything we want. Anything we can conceive can be our experience.
I like knowing that and seeing it confirmed in my experience.
BONUS MATERIAL: (Unedited) Personal Notes from the Ayahuasca-assisted travel I took:
I wanted to offer the full description of that Aya event so as to put the excerpt above in context. If you’ve had such an experience, what you’re going to read may sound and even feel familiar. The “(Source Confirmation)” phrases are moments where, as I wrote what preceded the phrase, my Broader Perspective sent thrills and goosebumps through my body thereby confirming/affirming what I wrote.
Integration
Wow. Just extraordinary. The journey was everything I asked for. So many visuals, direct experiences and expansionary first-hand “lessons”.
The peak experience was first recognizing me in my fullness. I’m literally more than I can handle in this physical framework. I was so intense and expansive….I radiate out of my belly, but maybe even centered more around my pelvic region. I swirl. And in the swirling I expand outward.
But the biggest part of this experience of me was how powerful my focus is. It’s SO FREAKING STRONG….overwhelming really. Just pure, immense, unlimited energy…focused in the direction of this physical, consensual reality….just awesome.
So that’s how the peak experience started. I couldn’t feel the enormity of me though. I felt that had I done that, I would have gotten into some trouble. I can see now, how, because of what I’ll offer later, I experienced that “negative” energy. It wasn’t negative. It was the outcome, the natural by-product of my focus at that time. Sloppy focus really, if I’m honest with myself.
Anyway, then my Broader Perspective came into my awareness. This introduction came so easily, so effortlessly, like the natural next step of my journey. My Broader Perspective was immense too, but not as powerful as me. I think (Source Confirmation) that’s because I’m focused TOTALLY here, while my Broader Perspective focuses in many places simultaneously. I’m expanding into that capacity too. But right now, my focus seem total on this plane.
I reveled in my Broader Perspective awareness and I think, around the same time, I experienced seeing innumerable beings arrange themselves on baseball playing cards. There were so many! At first I wanted to stop the process because, well, sports isn’t that interesting to me. But then I heard myself, my Broader Perspective suggest this was a better interpretation of my cadre than military or even corporate imagery. I LOVED THAT.
So I allowed it to continue into my experience…
By the way, my journey began with me focusing on the idea of being surrounded by light, grounded in awareness of my place in All That Is, safe and secure. That set of thoughts served me extremely well and allowed me to deliberately focus at points where I may not have in past sessions.
Ok, back to the peak.
SO THEN, me, my cadre and my Broader Perspective were all “squashed” against what felt like an IMMENSE bowl. We were all “pushed” “downwards” and in our places flowed this super-soft, but no less intense energy….which I knew immediately was my Broader Perspective’s Broader Perspective. My mother, in other words.
It felt so immense and full of softness, love and awareness. Like my Broader Perspective it wasn’t fully directed at me, but the part that visited was so pure, loving and immediately identifiable as me, there was no mistaking. I think also, me grounding myself in my place allowed that experience to be so gentle and affirming.
And affirming it was! I dwelt so long (seemingly) in its presence and felt so much love for “her”.
After that experience, well, not quite “after”, I think all these experiences happen outside of time, but, you know, language. So after that experience I started experiencing all kinds of thoughts. I saw how All That Is just flows wherever I direct my focus. In many of these thoughts I allowed my focus to linger in them as they all became “more”. At some point, however, the “more” became uncomfortable or in some cases not aligned with my core intents. So in almost every case, even in cases where the thought I started with was aligned with “love”, I turned away…I wonder if that’s because staying in those directions would have taken me into a different consensus reality? (Source Confirmation).
I see!
And I’m not done with this one yet! Which is interesting because earlier in the evening I felt some dull pain in my heart. I thought briefly that it might be a heart attack. But I knew better than to dwell on that. So I changed my thoughts and, sure enough, the situation passed….
There were many of those situations where I focused elsewhere and the unwanted passed…just like all the ascended masters say!
So at the start of this journey, almost in the first few moments, all my questions were answered with the general answer “all in divine timing”. Then it addressed the fact that ALL of my desires are being fulfilled. That was so freaking trust-building! The phrase “all in divine timing” repeated and repeated for a long time as All That Is also provided more detail to other questions I had.
I also experienced what it would feel like to have direct awareness of all these things in All That Is, the flow of ideas turning into things, while at the same time trying to focus on one existence plane. Frankly, I don’t think that’s possible or even preferable. It would be extremely distracting I think. My experience seemed to show that…
Throughout the entire journey, I felt completely safe most of the time. There were times where I felt myself veering out of that safety, but I was alert enough to catch it and redirect my energies. But for the most part, the unfolding of this journey was super-gentle, loving and flowed at a pace where I experienced everything in a way I could digest. Mother Aya is awesome!
So the amount I used is perfect. I’m sticking with that procedure. As far as regularity is concerned, I don’t need to do this weekly at all. Even monthly is too frequent. While on the trip, I thought once a year is fine. So in that case, I have plenty of material to last at least a few years.
I’m eager for the “all in divine timing” to continue unfolding. Like this experience, I know now that all is unfolding in a way perfectly timed so that I can savor it all. This was a WONDERFUL experience for sure.
One other thing! I soothed my attachment to the View Estate! OMG, this is so awesome. I stood on the terrace, then felt how disconnected it is from the land. Then I went to the basement floor and realized it would suck going downstairs in order to be on the land.
Then, I went into this whole new environment. There I saw all my cadre unfolding the PERFECT HOUSE FOR ME!!! It had everything I want….flat land, lot utilization, South facing and more…it was PERFECT.
TL;DR: The author emphasizes how beliefs shape our financial reality, using a client’s experience to illustrate how limiting thoughts block opportunities. It argues that aligning beliefs with desires is key to success, revealing that poverty results from mindset, not external forces. Through self-awareness and belief alignment, wealth and fulfillment become achievable.
I wouldn’t say or share any of what you’re about to read to a poor person. They’re just not ready to hear it. What they’ll hear is me blaming them. But this isn’t about blame, it’s about empowerment…
A client’s experiences showed me this week how powerful this You Create Your Own Reality (YCYOR) business is. Our thoughts and beliefs are so powerful, they not only create experiences we call daily life, they also block us from experiencing daily lives containing things we want.
This includes wealth. Indeed, most people, if they’re honest, will say they’d love having more money than they have, no matter how much they do have. If they don’t want more, it’s usually because beliefs existing inside them block that natural desire. Wanting more is the essence of of All That Is. It’s what makes “eternity” possible.
That’s another story though.
In this story, I want to share how our beliefs create realities that literally keep things we want from coming to us, including money. I’m going to show how this works through a recent experience a client had with the Positively Focused practice. His experience, even though he’s far from poor, proves the point I’m making: That poor people stay poor through the beliefs they hold. By “poor” I include those in the middle class who struggle to make ends meet, as well as those below the poverty line.
So let’s get into this. I’m sure we’re going to find what I’m about to share…interesting at the very least.
Trump: Good? Bad?
I’ll call my client “John”. I know, it’s not very creative.
John’s been a client about 50 weeks. He became a client after watching his partner transform for the better right before his eyes. Her example was so positive, he said, he wanted some of what she was getting.
John is successful as a software developer. He’s also quite astute at finance. An ardent progressive, he voted for Harris. So when Trump won the election, John expressed rather strong disappointment, but, because of the Positively Focused practice, he didn’t let that go very far, which left him open for an amazing experience coming.
Fast forward to December. By that point last year, something happened that shocked many observers. The cryptocurrency Bitcoin reached well over $100,000 a token. Historically, past presidential administrations were critical of crypto markets in general and Bitcoin specifically. Indeed, many expected that if Harris won the election, her administration would follow with the Biden Administration’s sharp criticism of crypto.
Not so with Trump. He promised in his later campaign speeches to become the most favorable cryptocurrency president.
The future: Crypto?
Trump won, of course. And crypto advocates, who had funded many successful 2024 political campaigns, including Trump’s, felt jubilant. So did much of the business world.
Cryptocurrency is a huge world-transforming technology. Like Artificial Intelligence, the Internet and computer technology before it, crypto is literally changing every facet of life right under our noses. Unlike previous inventions, however, crypto is poised to fundamentally disrupt society in so many beneficial ways, it’s hard to wrap one’s head around them all.
That potential also offers tremendous wealth-making opportunities. Unlike past opportunities, which made themselves mostly available to the already-wealthy, the movement crypto represents brings those wealth-making opportunities to everyone. Anyone can potentially become richer than they ever have been before. Indeed, many already have. And those people started out not rich at all.
That said, those potential riches are only available to people aligned with the opportunity. That’s where John and thoughts and beliefs come back into this story.
Chicken? Or egg?
Everyone creates their reality through thoughts and beliefs they hold. Those thoughts and beliefs literally filter our lives. They only allow events into our lives that are aligned with them. So if a person holds a belief that, for example, “money is hard to come by”, they cannot see opportunities where money is easy to come by.
Same holds for those who believe crypto is a scam. Such people will not be able to see money-making opportunities available through crypto. I should know: I was once one of those people!
Not any more.
Thoughts and beliefs don’t even have to be about crypto to block these opportunities. Beliefs about ourselves can block them too. If we believe, for example, that “I can’t get ahead”, that thought will keep creating experiences where we, literally, can’t get ahead.
But we must ask whether this is a chicken-or-egg situation: Did those experiences happen first, and then we concluded that “I can’t get ahead”? Or did somehow we come up with that self concept, of a person who can’t get ahead, then experienced experiences as evidence of that concept?
The answer is, it can be both. People can hold a thought, then experience a life matching that. Or something can happen, then they draw a conclusion from that and thus create resonance in them that has them keep having that experience.
Empowering? Or disempowering?
In John’s case, he saw his parents struggle. He related how he noticed his family frequently on the edge of financial insolvency. He wore hand-me-down clothes in school and was enrolled in his school’s free lunch program. John joked with all seriousness about how being on the free lunch program affected him by saying “Why do free lunch program tickets need to be a different color from regular tickets?”
Can you see how such an observation reveals the strong negative experience John had?
John made up stories about those happenings, especially stories about himself. He wasn’t going to end up like his parents. So he took a more guarded, preventative perspective on money. One of his beliefs, for example, is “Building a bank account is hard. It takes a long time. I don’t want to make the wrong choice.”
As a result of this belief, John has become extremely financially successful. He’s managed his money very closely. His work income is, in his words, “ridiculous” in its generosity. And yet, as empowering as his beliefs are, they still limit what’s possible for him. I’ll explain how in a bit.
A vicious cycle
We can see how beliefs in a world not in our control would compel us into social liberalism. If one finds it hard to get ahead, or that situations are out of our control, we’ll will see others having similar troubles. Not knowing about the Positively Focused approach, we’ll want to place blame on something outside ourselves.
We won’t know the trouble source is our thoughts and beliefs. So we’ll look to the world around us for the origin of our struggles.
It’s a kind of vicious cycle: thoughts and beliefs filter in events matching them and filter out those not matching them, which reinforce thoughts and beliefs. If one doesn’t know this, a person will look for the source of the problem outside themselves and blame that. Little do they know placing blame is a reflection of their inner beliefs: the belief that something outside them is to blame, that and the belief creating whatever problems they’re having in the first place.
The reflection happens so the person can do something about the beliefs not aligned with what the person wants. When they do that, they get what they want. It’s that simple. Blaming just prolongs problems or it creates new ones.
This is the vicious cycle social liberals find themselves in. Social conservatives do the same thing, by the way. They blame their problems on a society run amok, away from conservative values. In other words, something outside themselves. Liberals and conservatives have far more in common than both sides realize.
John’s beliefs are what has him being both socially and fiscally liberal. In the next section I’ll flesh this out a little more.
The Universe faithfully reflects
John believing, among other things, that making and keeping money is hard and takes a long time, and you can’t make a mistake, is part of why he is socially and fiscally liberal. He believes people need help because life is hard. Especially the part of life that is about making money. After all, he saw his parents struggle. For John, this belief isn’t a belief. It’s “true”.
John also knows there are many people out there trying to get other people’s money, often in unscrupulous ways. So not only is he on guard about that himself, he’s also wary of people falling victim to such schemes. This partly explains why he believes people need help, i.e. a society socially oriented towards taking care of people.
Now, people do need a hand out or a hand up from time to time. Virtually everyone, myself included at one point, knows nothing about how the Universe works. Because of that lack of knowledge, people think thoughts, hold beliefs, make decisions and take action based on those that aren’t in their best interest.
Of course, the Universe faithfully reflects all that back to people in the form of life matching what’s going on in us. But people don’t know that’s happening. So most people point the finger at the world around them. Even though the world around them is a product of their thoughts, beliefs and actions.
John is learning this. And what he’s finding is making a huge difference.
Trump’s contribution to the better world
John sees Trump as somewhat inept and susceptible to others’ influence. As a result, throughout the election campaign, John as an ardent Positively Focused practitioner, strives to find the best-feeling story about the election outcome.
In doin that, John made himself available to the reality that the Trump administration is going to play a huge part in a wonderful unfolding. An unfolding offering everyone massive opportunities to prosper in a future that’s literally unbelievable.
That future also supports the ascension New Age spiritualists reverently expect. All this is coming aided by an administration many “spiritualist” Americans vehemently disavow.
How can this be?
Trump and those he is appointing likely have no idea how their actions in the future play into the hands of this unfolding. That’s because, of course, their thoughts and beliefs aren’t focused there. They’re focused on their political agenda, which primarily is about delivering on their campaign promises. That and keeping people’s attention and thus their future votes and money.
But what they don’t know is many of those promises are going to support the unfolding I mentioned above. And one aspect facilitating that unfolding is…wait for it: cryptocurrency.
A new future lies ahead
I’ll avoid going in depth on other technologies emerging which also further this unfolding. I want to keep this post rather short and it’s already long. But I will mention some of them. I’ll mention them because the information is important to understand points I’m making in this post. You can research them further if you choose.
Cryptocurrencies underpin the emerging next generation of the Internet, also called “Web3”. But “Cryptocurrency” distracts the public. It’s not so much their function as currencies that matters. It’s the projects these currencies underwrite and support that matter. In the way software and microprocessors ushered in the computer age, these “currencies” and their projects are introducing Web3. Web3 is a decentralized, open, more secure and more peer-to-peer internet.
But these projects are also fostering, among many other things, Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI agents, which basically are personal servants that act on the internet on our behalf; new ways to conduct financial transactions and contracts without banks, lawyers or the government; and making wealth far more accessible to ordinary people.
We’re exactly at the point where we were when computers or the internet first started: the world is being transformed once again. Only this time much faster and from far more directions than before.
And those who are aware of these opportunities and take action, just like in the past with computers and the internet, are going to get rich. But those who aren’t aware of them will miss the opportunities.
What separates those who are aware from those who aren’t? Individual beliefs. That’s all.
“A no-brainer”
One session late last year, I talked with John about everything you just read in the previous section. The conversation revolved mostly around Bitcoin and its meteoric rise. But that focus kicked off a conversation about everything else happening in the crypto space. Because of John’s old beliefs, he was skeptical. He told me he always viewed Bitcoin as a “grift”.
“They call them cryptocurrencies, but you can’t buy anything with them,” he quipped.
By the end of the session, however, he saw how that belief blocked him from really understanding what is happening and what’s coming. That opening, his ability to see anew, triggered something good in him.
After our session, he sent me a text message:
In our next session, John floored me with his news. We first talked about how surprised he was that he didn’t look into this sooner.
“After I took a deep look at it,” he said. “It was a no brainer.”
And this is the thing about old beliefs. When they’re soothed, suddenly, the new view one has of the world just feels like an “of course”. That’s because the world constantly offers broader perspectives from which to view it. And when a person steps into that, they literally walk into a new reality. One that now matches their fresh, new perspective.
Missing an opportunity
So profound was John’s shift, even he was surprised. He told me the next morning he put $50K into Bitcoin. But his Broader Perspective encouraged he put more in. So he put in $100K more. But his Broader Perspective encouraged putting in even more. So he put in another $50! All after one conversation!
Again, this is what happens when one lets go of resistant beliefs. And, the minute one does, one also must contend with the new set of contrast that accompanies the new beliefs. In John’s case that was feeling regretful that he didn’t take this action six months ago when Bitcoin’s price was much lower.
“I should have done this last summer,” He argued mournfully. I told him there’s nothing he can do about that other than soothe his regret. But the solace he could take from the experience is realizing how powerful beliefs are.
“They literally block us from seeing opportunities,” I told him. Of course, John could see that now.
There was no way John could have done anything different from what he did last summer. So there’s no point mourning that non-action, even though had he put $200,000 into Bitcoin last summer at $87K a coin, he would have already seen a nice increase in value.
We do it to ourselves
John’s experience shows how powerful beliefs are. I’ve written this many times in this post, but it bears repeating: Beliefs create our reality. They only allow in that which accords with them. Everything else they block.
It’s important therefore that we become more deliberate about what beliefs we have, isn’t it?
I know it is important, which is why I work with clients.
No one blocks us from anything we want. Only we do that by not examining beliefs that block those things we want from coming into our experience.
And this is how the poor remain poor. No one is keeping them poor! They are doing that to themselves. Of course, they’re not doing it deliberately. They don’t understand what they’re doing. The problem with that lack of understanding is, along with their disempowering beliefs, if someone like me tries to tell them what they’re doing (or not doing), their current beliefs will not allow them to hear what I’m saying.
Or they’ll hear it and think I’m trying to fraud them. They’ll think I’m just spouting new-age nonsense, in the same way John thought cryptocurrency was a grift. And when they think that way, they just amplify their existing Belief Constellations, further blinding them from opportunities to rise from poverty.
Beliefs are powerful
At the beginning of this post I wrote that I’m not blaming anyone. This isn’t about blame. John isn’t to blame for beliefs blocking opportunities. No one else holds those beliefs for him though. He’s doing that.
Does that make him to blame for that? Is it his “fault”?
You could look at it that way, but I don’t. I look at it more positively. This whole post is not about blaming the poor or blaming John. What it is about is using his example and the example of poor people to empower those reading this. For now you know, dear reader, that you possess an extraordinarily empowering tool: your beliefs.
And if you cultivate beliefs consistent with what you want, in a very short time, the world will reveal to you exactly that and only that. For when you align your beliefs with what you want, they, like all beliefs, block everything not aligned with them.
That’s why I can say, for example, that when a person aligns their beliefs, nothing can come in contrary to what they believe.
Beliefs are powerful.
The poor stay poor by virtue of the poverty in their beliefs. People get rich by virtue of the wealth inherent in their beliefs. Your world is your word, meaning how you think about the world shapes your experience of it.
Speaking of beliefs, you’re invited to a 90-minute online event on March 1 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time called Belief Constellations: Politics, Relationships And Our MAGNIFICENT Future.

TL;DR: The author recounts a meditative experience where they felt their body compressing and changing shape, suggesting progress towards their goal of shapeshifting. They acknowledge the subjective nature of this experience but believe it is possible through practice and releasing resistance. The author also reflects on the implications of their journey, including the potential to inspire humanity and their role as a world leader.
Aside from wonderful dream recall, recalling dreams wherein I lived in alternate realities that were so clear, so tangibly real, like this reality, I also experienced in meditation this morning, more evidence of progress towards the reality in which I am a shapeshifter.
That was a long sentence. But there’s absolutely convincing evidence that becoming a shapeshifter is possible.
The only thing is, the evidence is 100 percent subjective. That’s the basis of all reality though. And if one understands that…no…if they KNOW that, then the evidence is absolutely convincing. Otherwise, it seems like a delusion.
I know it’s not a delusion.
I want to describe what happened while asleep, because what happened is so rich and satisfying. But I cannot accurately communicate that rich satisfaction because it is, again, subjective. The best way for one to feel what I feel upon waking and while in a sleep state is experiencing it themselves. What’s problematic about that is, having such events occur takes practice. Both practice and time. Preferably practice and time with someone who knows how to achieve what I’ve achieved.
So instead, I’ll just describe what happened in my meditation as feelings overcame me. Feelings accompanied by sensations proving I’m becoming a shapeshifter.
Here we go!
Science gets in the way
After the first 30-minutes of my hour meditation, the sensations began. My goal in becoming a shapeshifter is to accomplish something truly remarkable. I’m focusing on shifting my male body into a female one. Doing so presents interesting physical and physics-related challenges. I’m six feet tall and 166 pounds. My body is quite muscular after years of working out. I present an unequivocal male form.
So shifting to female requires doing something about the law of conservation of mass implying mass can’t be created or destroyed. And becoming a woman requires losing mass, because, generally, a woman’s mass is less than a man.
The problem with that physics law is that it depends on a closed system. The problem with science, including physics, is that it believes certain things that are distortions about All That Is. One of those distortions is that All That Is is a closed system. It is not.
So I’m soothing such beliefs resisting my desire of becoming a shapeshifter. One of those goes like this: If I turn my body into a female, the female body will be composed of less mass. Where will the rest of that mass go? And how will I get it back when I want to become male again?”
Making definite progress
That belief puts the kibosh on shifting. If you read the thought as though you’re thinking it, you can feel the fear inherent in it. There’s a worry too that if I turn into a female, and want to turn back into a male, I won’t have the “mass” available to do it.
That worry is a problem and so is the fear, not the apparent mass conundrum. Believing in a closed system is a problem too. Thinking mass is conserved, in the way classical mechanics of science asserts, is a problem too.
Back to what happened.
So in the second half of the meditation, as usual, I focused on amplifying my conscious awareness of my conscious awareness. In doing so, I’m becoming more aware that I am more than my physical body. Instead, I’m pure, positive energy, an energy being, focusing myself into a reality — physical reality — I create from the energy that is me.
Interesting that today’s Abraham message provides an overview of how thoughts turn to things. We can create any thing therefore, through our thoughts and beliefs. Any. Thing.
That’s a major step in becoming a shapeshifter. Decoupling my identity from my body soothes stories preventing the transformation. It also soothes fears that pop up as evidence starts happening. Without soothing those fears, the fear of death comes up almost instantly. That instantly stops any forward progress.
Identifying with my body does the same thing. Because if I believe I “am” my body, and my body turns into something else, even with my willing participation, my identity gets threatened. That triggers fear and that too stops progress in its tracks.
The biggest resistance making it impossible
But in soothing identification with my body and also identifying what I am with what I actually am, then receiving evidence of that, I also realize I am eternal. Nothing can harm my essential self. That frees myself from resistant thoughts that ordinarily put the kibosh on dramatic things well within our ability, but out of bounds for those who don’t know who or what they are.
And this explains why doing something like this takes a while. A lot of soothing must take place. It’s not that it takes a long time to shape-shift. The moment we conjure the desire, the desire is done. It takes time because we must become a match to the desire. Becoming a match to wanting to shape-shift takes significant effort, again, not to shape-shift, but to soothe resistance keeping us from becoming a match to the act.
The biggest resistance at the surface of all this is believing shape-shifting is impossible. Other beliefs, those taught to us by science, for example, also stand in the way. But once those are soothed, the big ones must also be soothed. Those are what we believe we are and our fear of death.
I’ve made significant progress at all this. That explains why what happened this morning happened.
What happened was while I was in meditation, focusing on my awareness, I felt the body wanting to “compress”, to draw inwards, with that drawing-in oriented around the spinal column. I felt the neck’s circumference getting smaller. Also, I felt the shoulders, arms, and legs slenderizing. I also felt the teeth and gums “moving” as though seeking a position in the mouth as though the mouth were smaller. An essence of flowing, thick, long hair also registered around the head…
The inherent resistance in questions
Speaking of teeth: another resistant thought I must soothe has to do with what’s in my mouth. I have a crown and a filling in there. They are “inorganic”. I wonder, when I’m able to shapeshift, what will happen with those inorganic parts? Will I shift those too so they come with me into my new form? And when I turn back, will I manifest a new crown and filling? Or will my teeth, in my return, “become whole”, i.e. I won’t need a filling and crown anymore?
Again, these kinds of questions bring resistance to the table. And resistance is what slows down any manifestation. Resistance is initially unavoidable. It’s an inherent part of expansion. After all, what I’m doing is extremely leading edge. As such, it’s normal to entertain beliefs in the form of questions about things I don’t know that I want to know.
Of course, both Seth and Abraham suggest that posing such questions isn’t the best approach. They say it’s better to know that everything is working out as the best way to get what we want. But it’s normal to start with resistant-laden questions, then using them as launching pads towards less and less resistance. This is especially so for feats that have never been done before. At least not in this reality. At least not to my knowledge.
So as my 1-hour meditation timer went off, I remained in meditation for another eight minutes to nail down these feelings in my body. I wanted to remember how they felt so I could put them in this post.
Knowing it’s happening
The sensations and how I felt while observing them were quite reassuring. It’s wonderful feeling these things while knowing the process is working. I know the more I soothe resistant thoughts such as those I described above, I’ll “allow” more progress.
Meanwhile, the progress I’m seeing now, now feels like an “of course”; like, this is just how it happens: gradually, releasing resistance, expanding more into the desire, releasing more resistance and expanding even more into the desire. Until the desire fulfills itself in my reality.
That “of course” feeling, like this is just how it happens, is a very positive sign toward me actualizing becoming a shapeshifter. It shows me I’ve moved from “wanting to”, to “believing I can” to “knowing it’s happening”.
Sometimes I feel excited about sharing this accomplishment with the rest of humanity. I believe that’s part of this path. But most of the time, I’m more grounded. I know I’m not doing this for anyone but myself.
Well, I am doing it for others because I am a world leader, someone who came to show humanity what’s possible while holding the space for our collective ascent into a higher dimension.
And so, I feel the excitement and the groundedness both. Holding them both while having experiences like this morning feels really, really good.

An amazing process is happening. It started long, long ago, but it’s really picking up steam in 2025.
Results of this process will astound virtually everyone. Indeed, it is astounding even people directly involved in it almost every week.
You and I will benefit tremendously from results of this process. In fact, many already are benefitting. They’re becoming more prosperous. Many are extremely excited about what they see happening. Many more are engaging with the process and feeling extreme excitement about the future.
And that’s the thing: anyone who gets involved, in their own unique way, will feel the same extreme excitement and empowerment that everyone else involved does.
But getting involved requires giving up what we think is happening. It also requires giving up what a lot of people are saying is happening. Only then can we see the wonder surrounding us. It’s happening right alongside all the terrible, crazy things people are focused on. But to see the good stuff, we must turn away from the bad stuff.
When we change our beliefs, then we’ll see how fantastic what is happening is. Abraham makes this so plain:
The very best of our world
The very best of our world is here for everyone. As I wrote above, many already have found it. We can too. I already have, which is why I’m urging you to find it too. And finding it easy.
Well it kinda is easy. Because it requires giving up being right.
Famous Astrophysicist and celebrity Neil deGrasse Tyson said something that’s become immortalized. It highlights the point I’m making in this post:
“One of the great challenges in life,” he says. “Is knowing enough about a subject to think that you’re right. But NOT knowing enough about the subject to know that you’re wrong.”
A lot of people are unwilling to “know enough to know that [they’re] wrong.” The trouble is, if they were willing, they would come into a fantastic world. One where everything they want is theirs.
If you think you’re ready to “know”, and you don’t already. I invite you to this online event on March 1. In it I describe the wonderful results flowing from what’s happening. Join me and you may find the world, and your life, is far, far better than you think it is. Only five spots remain.
Seriously. Everyone is going to thrive as a result of Trump being in office. And I’m writing that as someone who voted for Harris!
Especially progressives CAN THRIVE even if we think America is being ruined. But to do so, we must stop giving away our power to FEAR. Fear and Elon Musk Derangement Syndrome.
A LOT of really great things are going to happen…ARE happening…with Trump in office. Not because of Trump being there, but because of what has happened since he moved in. Really, the entire world is going to be freer, more prosperous, more open, more diverse…and the environment is going to get better too.
Can’t see how all that’s going to happen? You might consider coming to this event where I detail it all. It’s only $15. March 1. Details in the link.
TL;DR: The author recounts a client dream which featured them and uses the experience to assert that humans are more than human. They are eternal aware-energy beings.
A lot happens in nonphysical. “Nonphysical” is a better description of what humans call “Dreaming”. In that state, while the body refreshes itself in bed, our consciousness flows into the exact same place we come from before birth and return to after what humans call death.
Our “consciousness” is what we ultimately are: conscious aware energy.
While the body rests in sleep state, the aware energy that we are cooperates with innumerable other energetic beings in the massive co-creation that is universal expansion. Nearly every human knows nothing about this. Even those we vaunt as successful and highly educated. Indeed most humans think dreams are nothing more than the brain processing the day’s activities.
Nothing can be further from what’s really happening.
What’s really happening is each of us participates in the sacred process of creating more and more of All That Is. In that sacred process, we glorify ourselves and each other in a massive act of love. A massive act of loving ourselves. And through that act, that expression, out of us spring more joyful, unfolding realities.
So when clients get to the point of the Positively Focused dream work where they start experiencing the majesty of what they really are, that indicates remarkable-worthy progress.
Let’s look at what happened this week when a client met me in nonphysical and what happened next. And let’s look at what that means for him, for me and for the Universe at large.
What happened
The client, let’s call him “Jim”, talked about his experience in the beginning of our session. It happened that same morning, in the early hours, he said. In the “dream”, Jim said, we both walked into a large hall. Jim said he was part of “my followers”. As we entered the hall, two other beings entered as well accompanied by their followers. In the dream Jim recognized me and the other two as “spiritual leaders”.
The three spiritual leaders, me and the other two, sat at a large table. Our followers, Jim said, sat behind each of us. Then the spiritual leaders talked about plans underway. After the conversation, the three of us also talked about next steps. Jim then described how the spiritual leader he interpreted as leading the meeting entrusted me and the other leader with next steps. He said the presiding leader exuded tremendous confidence that me and the other being would complete the project.
So that was the experience as Jim described it. What does it mean? What’s the significance of an experience like that, one that humans would describe as “just a dream”? Was it just that? Or was it something more?
It was something more.
This was an important experience for Jim. It also was an important experience for me. Here’s why.
Way more than our physical bodies
Jim’s experience represents the second event a client shared in which the client and I interacted in nonphysical. The first happened a few weeks ago, when a client in Hawaii confirmed my Astral Travel experience. In that experience, while in a hypnopompic state, that client felt my consciousness arrive in her awareness. She allowed me to ride into and alongside her consciousness and experienced “me” in her awareness.
This happened while I was, at the same time, in meditation. I felt my own version of what she described. And so this experience confirmed by another that I’m progressing in my ability to travel as pure energy. If you’re interested about that experience, I wrote a whole blog post about it.
The fact that a second client now experienced me in their nonphysical state shows great promise for these two clients and for me. It confirms for me that these experiences aren’t just delusions I’m experiencing. Indeed, as Seth affirmed, they are real, actual experiences available to all of us. Because all of us are way more than our physical bodies.
We are pure, positive energy beings, as Abraham likes to say. I, for one, took those words seriously, as well as those of Seth. So I’ve focused a lot of my life over the last 10 years to discovering how far this You Create Your Own Reality Business (YCYORB) goes. What I’m discovering is, it can go as far as we want it…limited only by our beliefs.
And this is the benefit of Jim’s experience for him. It’s showing him, like mine are showing me, the true breadth and depth of who and what we are. And the feelings coming with such experiences are astounding in how good they feel.
Unlimited benefits
Jim fascination with that dream matched my own. The details are important because they confirm many things Abraham told me about my trajectory.
A lot happens in nonphysical. Even when we’re awake, parts of us remain active in there. We can perceive that active part of us, but it takes practice. That’s only because most humans condition themselves out of believing they can perceive that way.
The same holds true for perceiving nonphysical while the body sleeps. Again, most people don’t believe dreams mean anything. Those beliefs must be soothed before we perceive what’s really happening. Jim is a perfect example of what happens when we do that soothing. So are my experiences.
Dream state offers a peek into all that we are. (ChatGPT interpretation prompted by me)
Perceiving these alternative realities is our natural state. That’s why when I calm my mind, I can experience other dimensions in which I’m active. Of course, my awareness during sleep state is extremely keen. I remember a large number of dreams every night. And waking from them I feel the deepest joy and empowerment. I’ve written about those in previous posts. And I’ll likely write about more in the future.
The thing is, we are far more than human. Benefits that come from that broader awareness are unlimited. Through that awareness we can deliberately create any reality we want.
We’re all creators
Jim’s dream, as I wrote above, confirmed many things Abraham told me about my trajectory. I am an emissary of what’s possible. I’m here to show humanity what it’s capable of. And I’m here holding the space in which humanity is expanding.
I’m not the only one. As Jim’s “dream” showed, I’m accompanied and am co-creating with numbers of others, others who have cadres of humans here, on earth, assisting our collective intentions.
All of us have similar experiences. We may not all be “spiritual leaders” yet. Abraham, in a public event called me a “world leader”. It is a title I now embrace given all I’ve experienced. Like Neo in The Matrix, I now believe not only who I am but what I am and what I’m here for.
No, I’m beyond believing. I’ve experienced so much, I just know. I know what and who I am. And as I expand further into that knowledge, more and more becomes available. My expansion is boundless, as is yours, dear reader.
And so I invite you to discover what my clients and I are discovering: that the world is our creation. As such we can create whatever we desire. The only thing limiting us is our imagination. No political situation, no physical perceived limit holds sway. All of those bow before us.
Because we are creators. And when I appear in my clients’ dreams, they realize they are too.
Speaking of creators, you’re invited to a 90-minute online event on March 1 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time called Belief Constellations: Politics, Relationships And Our MAGNIFICENT Future.

TL;DR: Elon Musk’s awkward gesture at a rally sparked controversy, with some interpreting it as a Nazi salute. This event serves as a case study in how beliefs shape reality, with people’s interpretations influenced by their preconceived notions and emotional states. By understanding this phenomenon, individuals can align their focus with their desires and create a more empowered future, free from the limitations of fear-based beliefs.
Elon Musk is keeping the body politic guessing. He’s keeping others enraged and some others gleeful. People, generally, are going nuts about his latest gesture. Indeed, with Trump coming back into office, a lot of people are feeling really, really insecure. Meanwhile, the media are making advertising bank stoking fires of that insecurity.
Indeed, there’s no better time than now to see how powerful beliefs create reality. In seeing how powerful they’re playing out in current events, we as individuals can benefit from those examples. We can learn a thing or two, in other words.
How?
By using current events, which are reflections of our collective inner state, as tuning devices, thereby increasing our alignment to what it is we want. Doing that, we can actually become happier. Even while others are in emotional upheaval and with not a thing changing around us.
Let’s use what Elon Musk did last week as an example. Then let’s amplify our clarity and discover how a Nazi salute that was, wasn’t, then was again.
First a disclaimer and trigger warning
This post contains potentially offensive content. Whether you experience it that way depends on your beliefs. If you’re Jewish or progressive and sensitive about the long history of fascism in the world, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU STOP READING RIGHT NOW.
SERIOUSLY, NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THIS PAGE. If you continue reading, and you make disparaging comments in the comment section, you are, for sure, going to be blocked because you can not control yourself. And this work, this Positively Focused practice, requires an extraordinary measure of self control.
Second disclaimer: I don’t have a dog in the fight that is US politics. It doesn’t matter what happens in politics to me because I’m the creator of my reality, not politicians. So while I’m diving into this political moment, the moment itself, and politics in general, are of little interest to me other than as learning experiences.
So I’m totally indifferent about what Elon Musk did. Ironically, because of that, I enjoy a broad perspective from which to understand what happened. What happened and why it happened. So, with the disclaimer down, let’s dive in.
So what happened?
At a rally following the Trump inauguration, Elon Musk took the stage. With great emotion, he expressed how important the past election was. Then he profusely thanked the audience for what he believes was doing the right thing: electing Trump. His thanks took the form of saying “I give my heart to you!”
Either right as or shortly after saying those words, he made a somewhat awkward gesture. With his right hand, he thumped his chest over his heart, then threw his hand outward, extending his right arm completely straight and upward. Immediately after, parts of the world went apoplectic.
The Southern Poverty Law Center said the gesture set off a “firestorm of controversy.” Meanwhile many US Politicians heavily criticized Musk for giving what they described as a “Nazi salute”. Also, according to the Associated Press, many right wing groups embraced the gesture, interpreting it similarly. Austria and Germany both called for banning Musk. And, of course, social media is equally ablaze with apoplectic opinions about Musk’s act.
Musk himself basically responded by saying “guys, give it a break.”
When a client sent me a cartoon depicting the act, it intrigued me. That’s because, as I wrote above in my disclaimer, I’m indifferent to politics. But I had a sense this event might offer a window into how people’s beliefs literally run them. That’s why I took interest.
What I found interesting was, the more I dove into this affair, the more empowered I became about what I know.
Momentum and Nazis
The first thing I did was go watch the original footage. Watching it perplexed me. I know what a Nazi salute looks like and what Musk did was not that. It didn’t surprise me that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an antisemitism watchdog group, agreed. Referring to the gesture, the group said Musk didn’t make a Nazi salute. Rather he “made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm”.
That’s what I saw.
It’s widely known that Musk is on the spectrum. He’s an awkward person. And he often appears uncomfortable in ordinary situations. Being on stage isn’t “ordinary” and I’m sure, for Musk, emotional expressions aren’t either. So what I saw in the gesture was an awkward guy expressing deep relief and thanking his audience in an equally awkward way.
That’s all.
But it doesn’t surprise me that people, especially politicians, went crazy over all this. Think about it. The left has been building up a lot of fear about Trump returning to the White House. Left-leaning, biased media has been doing the same. Individual progressives did the same thing too. Through social media they’ve enrolled a lot of people into the momentum of their trepidation. Their disgust with Trump includes expectations that his authoritarian speech defines the new president as a fascist. Maybe even a Nazi.
Consider all this focus has been underway since Trump’s last term. When a person focuses on something for a long time, that focus creates momentum. Get enough of that going and it will keep going on its own. Before long, that momentum will turn into physical reality. That reality will then prove “true” thoughts and beliefs that person focused on. Then the thoughts and beliefs will no longer be thoughts and beliefs. They’ll be the “Truth”.
Willing stooges
When that happens, hardly anything will change that person’s mind about what they believe. What’s more, that person will see everything through the lens of that truth.
So when Musk joined Trump during election season, everyone thinking Trump was a fascist lumped Musk in to that category. As Trump continued with his authoritarian speech, people’s truths were further confirmed. When Trump won, the emotional upheaval among liberals caused those same people to double down on their truths. Truths mainly based on fear-filled future expectations.
When Musk then got on stage and made his awkward gesture, of course liberals, many Jews, Holocaust rememberers, and more would interpret that gesture through their collective memory.
The problem is, a rich and well-documented history supports exactly what a Nazi salute is and what it isn’t. And Musk’s gesture fails the test of history. Furthermore, if some people had an ounce of self-control and reasoning capability they would have seen the difference between Musk’s gesture and a Nazi salute.
Instead, many people live their lives through their emotions. That’s not a good thing. Because when a person lives their lives through emotions, they give a lot of their power away. In other words, they become willing stooges for manipulators. And that’s what we’re seeing with the large number of biased media outlets.
Those outlets make a LOT of money off out-of-control people living through their emotions by triggering those people and keeping their attention on everything going wrong. It doesn’t matter if it’s ACAB, BLM or MAGA.
Here’s the thing: You don’t have to be one of those people!
Your next four years…
If you allow yourself to become one of those people, however, woe unto you. You’re limiting your future.
Allow yourself the empowerment that’s naturally yours, however, and you make your future unlimited. Indeed, the only limits an empowered person puts on the future are those limits which shape a future of their desires, thereby leaving everything else out.
In other words, an empowered person limits their now to include only those things that match what they want to see in the future. By “now” I’m including thoughts and beliefs they think, as well as things they share with others, whether through social media, or through their speech.
We can’t help but limit our future. That’s because our focus, the ability to put our attention in certain places, is only so broad. So whenever we focus, by definition, we’re placing limits. And when we do that, we allow into our experience only those things matching our focus.
That’s why those thinking Trump is a fascist and so is Musk saw only what they saw: a Nazi salute. But it wasn’t a Nazi salute, unless you think it was.
And if you do, well, you’re in for a very uncomfortable four years.
Meanwhile, for others, the next four years are going to be positively astounding. Want to know how? Consider joining this event I’ve planned for March. Have a MeetUp account? Go here.
TL;DR: The author uses a client example to show how this reality offers the best of what there is to experience. In doing so, they explain how fleeing a situation without first lining up with what’s wanted usually leads to disappointing results.But in the end, they write, everything always works out.
A prospective client this week decided to go with another spiritual provider. Her decision came after only two weeks as a Positively Focused practitioner.
When she first reached out to me, I felt strong vibrations from her. Present were dissatisfaction, unhappiness, especially about herself, a feeling of foreboding about the US and more. This all sprang from her as she told me why she wanted my services.
The next week, she came with a ton of questions. Questions typically someone with so little experience with the practice wouldn’t ask. Indeed they were very advanced questions, ones I didn’t want to answer because I knew she didn’t have enough background to understand the answers. Yet, she insisted, so we talked about them.
Her questions came from visiting YouTube. There she discovered another provider. This person, a “Law of Attraction Coach”, appears to focus on “impossible” achievements, some of the same things I focus on in my personal practice, but don’t work with clients on until they have at least several years experience. That’s because accomplishing what most believe is impossible requires an extraordinary level of alignment to All That Is. And most aren’t ready for such pursuits off-the-bat.
What happened next was…interesting. It showed me how some people want to escape from their lives. They want to go somewhere where they think life is better.
In this post, let’s look at why that’s not in anyone’s best interest. And what is available to us instead.
Not everyone is in the same place
This new client came to me after reading my post on Dark Matter. In that post, I lauded the show’s relatively accurate portrayal of alternate dimensional travel. My own experiences aligned well with what they portrayed. How they portrayed alternate dimensional travel was not so accurate, however. Still, I felt the show deserved praise.
I thought it odd that that post would inspire someone to want to be a Positively Focused client. That’s because, early-stage clients typically have no idea alternate realities are accessible to all of us. Visiting them requires a lot of focus, but that focus is well within all of our grasps. So when we first talked, I encouraged her to focus instead on the basic practice, what I offer all beginning clients.
From her questions in the second session, however, I knew she wasn’t going to be satisfied with my approach. Especially after visiting this other provider’s channel.
Now, I have no trouble with new clients going somewhere else. A lot of people out there offer similar services I do. And not everyone is in the same place; one provider can’t reach everyone. So it’s good lots of people exist offering similar services. But something was up with this person’s eagerness to go to this provider. Something I realized in the session we had just before she switched.
Freedom and empowerment: the ultimate desire
She came to that session super stoked about the potential of moving permanently into another dimension. I asked her what about that was so intriguing. The first thing she brought up was climate change. She wanted to be in a world where climate change didn’t exist, she said. The client also had strong negative beliefs about the United States’ future given the Trump election victory.
Both reasons were red flags. Not that they’re problems relative to what I offer. Rather they indicate the client is in the midst of really strong negative momentum. Momentum she must soothe in order to get what she wants.
And what is it that she wants? While she thinks it’s living in a different reality, where none of the things she thinks are problems exist, what she really reaches for in these desires is freedom and empowerment.
She wants to see the world around her matching her desires.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you can see the problem, the red flag in that. For in wanting to see the world around her matching what’s inside her, she doesn’t get that the world already matches what is inside her. In other words, the world around us is a reflection. An extremely accurate one.
At this point, I think it’s important to delineate the difference between spiritual fleeing or escaping and the ordinary kind of fleeing or escape humans sometimes get inspired to do. The difference is important.
It’s not about action
No wrong choices exist. Every choice a person makes either lines that person up with what they want, or it gives feedback on how to better line up. Every choice, therefore, acts as a stepping stone on an eternal path. So, to use an extreme example, a war-torn, despotic environment might inspire a person to flee that place.
In fleeing, they can end up in a better-feeling place: a location where life is more peaceful. Perhaps the government is more stable there. The contrast of their what-is prompts action, and through their action, they find themselves in better-feeling locals.
Most of the time, when people make those kinds of choices, they first may focus on fleeing their what-is. But as soon as the what is is behind them, they feel eagerness for where they’re going. That shift typically feels like relief. Then relief turns to even more powerful, positive emotions. Like positive expectation or optimism, for example.
And as they dwell in those positive emotions, the world around them reflects that positivity back to them: in the form of more positive environs. Meanwhile –– and this is important –– the war-torn situation played a crucial role in that unfolding.
Had they not experienced the war and destruction, leaving that area might never had occurred to them. But more important, their improved mood made them a match to where they ended up. Not their actions.
What we’re exploring offers a ton of complexity that I’m simplifying for brevity’s sake.
Look at how life turns out
So fleeing an environment where immanent physical danger exists makes complete sense. Pretty much everyone would do that. But here’s the thing, and this is extremely difficult for clients to accept: A match exists between situations we would call negative and people experiencing those situations. In other words, those situations reflect the inner states of those people. It must be that way because that’s how the Universe works. It’s not random.
So when that person chooses flight or escape, they literally take with them that which had them matching the war-torn situation in the first place. And so, when they get to the new place, that new place, somehow, will reflect back to them more of the same of what’s inside them if the person didn’t do anything about their inner state. It may look different, but essentially it’s identical.
Unless we can read the vibration of another, and that’s a tall task for nearly all of us, we can’t really know what’s going on inside another. But if we accept what you just read, we don’t have to read another’s vibration. All we need to do is look at how their life turns out.
I haven’t forgotten about the client I began this post with. I’ll get back to her. But this background you’re getting fleshes out the problem with spiritual fleeing or escape. By now you can see the difference between fleeing a physical situation and spiritual fleeing or escape. If you can’t, the next section will make it plain.
What spiritual fleeing looks like
We take with us that which creates our reality. This is what I mean when I tell clients they are the common denominator to all the problems they see in their lives. Said differently, we create our reality. So if we want a different reality, we must do something about what we’re creating. Fleeing won’t work.
Spiritual fleeing works even less. Spiritual fleeing isn’t very common because nearly every human disbelieves this “you create your own reality business” (YCYORB). And yet, it is a thing. Spiritual fleeing is a distortion. Someone practicing or wanting to practice spiritual fleeing is saying “I don’t like what I’m creating, so I’m going to escape my creation.”
So they leave their city. They leave their country. Or they leave a relationship. Maybe they leave their job. The problem with that is, they’re taking themselves with them! They can’t leave themselves behind, so wherever they go, they will create a new version of the problems they try to flee.
We cannot escape the reality that springs from within us. (Photo by Justin Merced on Unsplash)
Two advanced client examples show this. One has tried nearly every process, including extremely radical surgeries, to lose weight. One radical surgery left her with something like one-third of the stomach she originally had. And yet, she’s still overweight, much to her dissatisfaction. The other client last year, I think, had a surgery on his face. The doctor said the process would solve his sleep apnea. A year later, he’s contemplating another procedure because the apnea has not gone away.
Who’s the creator?
The first client had her procedures done before she came to me. So we haven’t talked about the vibration persisting her weight. But we are talking about a similar vibrational momentum that has her attract men who aren’t in her best interest. She struggles mightily in hearing that she’s creating these men. She wants to blame the men. It can’t be possible that she’s the center of what’s happening, she thinks. Yet she is. She’s the common denominator. She is the creator.
The same is true for the other client. He can’t yet accept that he’s creating the sleep problem. Although he intellectually understands that from the Positively Focused perspective, he’s still trying to solve it through action, so he doesn’t KNOW yet what he only understands.
The point is, spiritual fleeing is when a person either denies or doesn’t know at all that they are the creator of their reality. As a result, they try fixing their troubles through action. And an advanced version of that is wanting to go to a different physical dimension because the one we’re in is unsatisfying.
Spiritual fleeing doesn’t work
Where do you think Americans thinking about leaving the country are on the subject of ordinary fleeing and spiritual fleeing? With Donald Trump coming into office, many of them are somewhere in between. Every American contributed to the reality we’re moving into where Trump will be the most powerful person in the free world….again.
Trying to flee the country isn’t going to work because wherever those Americans go, they will be there. In other words, they’re just going to create a reality there that still reflects what’s going on inside them. And if they were a match to a second Trump presidency, and they were, then something’s afoot in that matching.
I know that “something” is really, really good. And that’s the trouble with interpreting our what-is as negative. Usually what we’re interpreting as “bad” actually is very, very good. Or what’s going to follow is very, very good…but only if we don’t resist the “bad”.
Resist it, like a lot of Americans did after the first Trump presidency, and we just get more “bad”. Meanwhile, a lot of good gets created and stored in our collective “moment of becoming”. But that collective goodness only shows itself to those who don’t resist. In the meantime, resisters just keep getting more “bad”. Even if they flee.
So this prospective client, the one who wants to flee this dimension for a “better” one doesn’t understand that she’s taking herself with her. More likely, she will NOT be able to move to that alternate dimension. Why? Because she has way too much resistance in her. Resistance that makes her not a match to that dimension she wants, but does make her a match to the one she doesn’t.
So what’s her option?
The Source of new and improved
Her option is the same thing I offer all my clients: transform her perspective in a way that lines her up with everything she wants in this reality. What she wants is here. If it wasn’t, she wouldn’t have chosen to come into this dimension.
What she wants isn’t some place where everything is nice and clean and trouble free. Trouble/contrast is part of every place. It literally is the stuff from which new, improved emerges. And so, this reality, this dimension, is one of the best ones to come into. Because here, in this place, we offer ourselves TREMENDOUS contrast…or “trouble” if you want to see it that way.
The great thing about all that trouble is, when we use it as the launch pad that it is, our individual realities IMPROVE.
But it’s not magic. It can’t happen instantly. Physical reality contains inherent resistance as does our physical selves. So it typically takes a while for that improvement to show up…for very good other reasons too complex to detail here.
The client I began this post about is on a trajectory. Maybe she’ll come back after exhausting herself trying to get someplace she’s not a match to. Or maybe she’ll become a match to it. The paradox of the latter is, to become a match to it, she must release all resistance to THIS dimension, this reality. And if/when she does….will she travel to that other dimension?
My guess is no. Because she unwittingly will have transformed THIS dimension into the dimension she thinks she wants to travel to.
Isn’t that beautiful?
This is where it’s at
Usually, when one wants to choose, one’s first choice is the Broader-Perspective-inspired one. This client came to the Positively Focused Way first. I’d say that was a Broader-Perspective-inspired decision. Had she continued, soothing her dissatisfaction about this reality would go a long way towards allowing her to visit other realities. The key word there is “visit”. But such visits also would show her that THIS reality is where she really wants to be. This is where it’s at.
After all, if she wanted to be in the other one, she would have gone there first at birth. Instead, she came here.
In that sense, she may come back. Perhaps her Broader Perspective will lead her back here. No matter what she does, everything is working out for her, for me and for everyone else. That includes all Americans, all my clients and the planet and its climate.
Nothing ever goes wrong. Even when someone flees. Spiritual fleeing or escape isn’t wrong either. After all, eventually the person fleeing discovers the ultimate reality: that they are a creator. And their creation is good as a reflection of something that is always in their best interest. Something that is inside them waiting for that person to make real.
TL;DR: The author contends that “New Age” advice is never wrong. They give the example of how their inner guidance said Kamala Harris would win the last election, and they explain why that guidance was right, even though it appears to have been wrong.
In the past election season, my Broader Perspective told me Kamala Harris was going to win. As we all know, though, that didn’t happen.
Did my Broader Perspective get it wrong?
A lot of people who think this “you create your reality” business is “New Age nonsense” will point to such outcomes with an accusing finger.
They’ll say “See? What bullshit!”
Even some clients doubted what happened. One asked why my Broader Perspective “lied” to me. Another, whose Broader Perspective told her as well that Harris would win by a large margin, was shocked by the actual results. I was surprised, but I knew an explanation existed for the apparent discrepancy between our Broader Perspectives and the result.
That’s because I know what I know is infallible. I know the Universe works exactly as I’ve learned it does. So if something happens that appears contradictory to what I know, then I must not be clearly seeing what’s going on.
Given all this, I turned to my spiritual mentors for answers. I also dug into past knowledge I gained in my years of Buddhist scholarly practice.
What I discovered not only reassured me, it had me double down on the fact that what I know is 100 percent accurate.
Let’s take a look at what’s happening when it looks like “New Age” advice gets it wrong.
Understanding the unfathomable
First we must accept that All That Is is unfathomable. All That Is constantly creates more of all that is. And that’s been happening….since….forever. So no one can know the totality of All That Is. Not even All That Is!
That unknowable quality of All That Is extends to the intelligence of All That Is. It’s not called “Infinite Intelligence” for nothing. That means there are no bounds to how intelligent Infinite Intelligence is.
So when we humans try understanding Infinite Intelligence and All That Is, we must come from a grounded place. We must accept that, as much as we learn, there always will be more to learn.
One thing I’ve learned is All That Is assists all of us in our expansion. One way it does that is through contrast: experiences which prompt from within us desire.
Now, “desire” makes it sound like those experiences must always feel good. The trouble is, contrast often feels not good. Especially for those who don’t understand how the Universe works.
Even for those who do understand, such experiences can feel awful. But for those who do understand, such people can come to accept and even appreciate the real nature of and the value that contrast offers.
The real nature of contrast is that it usually is an uncomfortable experience. One that tells us immediately what we don’t like.
More about contrast and its importance
Usually, contrast looks and feels like something we don’t want, such as our preferred candidate losing. The moment we have such experiences though, we also know what we do want. The key to contrast’s value is realizing this, then lining up with that which we want. In doing that, we feel better and that better feeling tells us something extremely important.
Contrast is all around us. It comes in large and small experiences, even insignificant-seeming ones. But the ones most of us struggle with are those that are significant, such as our political candidate losing in what we believe is a crucial election.
Nothing “crucial” ever happens, however. That’s because everything always works out for everyone. Everything always turns out for everyone because All That Is enjoys a capacity large enough for everyone to get what they want.
Humans make trouble for themselves, however, when they think what they want must come the way they believe it should come. Me and others, for example, believed the only way we could get what we wanted from the election was for Harris to win. That’s a problem.
Getting what we want when we line up
It’s a problem because All That Is is unfathomable, including its intelligence and capacity. As such, a human mind can never know the resources at All That Is’ disposal to make what we want happen. A human mind also can’t figure out the best time for something to happen, even though our minds like to think they can. That’s why there’s such a thing as “divine timing”.
I know it can be frustrating when we want something, believe it must happen now, and it doesn’t happen until later. Sometimes WAY later. But divine timing exists for a reason. The reason is because Infinite Intelligence or All That Is knows when it’s the best time for something to happen. It also yields to our desire, but only when we are a match to that thing. And usually, when we want something “now” we are really focused on the situation that has us yearning. In that focus, we’re not lined up with what we want. Which explains why it doesn’t show up immediately.
So when we try to figure out either the “how” or the “when” we usually gum up the works. We add resistance, which creates delay. We’ll eventually get what we want, but only when we finally line up with it.
Sometimes, lining up with our desire requires a stronger vibrational alignment to that which we’re wanting. Abraham calls that “stronger asking”. And there’s no better experience to prompt stronger asking, or to cause us to more strongly align with our wanting, than really strong contrast. Like our candidate losing, for example.
Introducing the path of least resistance
Another reason it may look like we’re not getting what we want happens when we, again, think we know how it’s going to happen. Especially when it comes to a lot of people getting what they want. Again, the Universe will give everyone what they want. But think about it. The US population is over 300 million people. Untold billions of others outside the US were focused on the outcome of our election too. And, obviously, some number of those people were going to appear to not get what they want no matter who won.
The Universe, therefore took advantage of another aspect that we must keep in mind when lining up. That is, the path of least resistance.
The path of least resistance, as the name implies, is the path energetically between one point and another representing the lowest amount of resistance. Now, the path of least resistance is not the same as the shortest path. The path of least resistance usually is longer because it takes people some time to release resistance and line up. And even when they do, some resistance remains in their way.
So All That Is and one’s Broader Perspective coordinate to move a person around or through that remaining resistance. And it’s for this reason that one’s path to what they want may look like they’re not getting what they want, when, actually they are.
So when Kamala lost, I knew I was still on the path. I also knew I had focused too much on the “how”. It also was clear that the loss prompted stronger asking on my part. But why was it that my Broader Perspective told me she was going to win when she didn’t? To understand why, we must introduce yet another important concept.
Setting up another awesome unfolding
I’m glad I have a lot of spiritual study under my belt. My scholarly study of Buddhism came in handy in understanding why my Broader Perspective adamantly said Kamala would win when she didn’t.
I’ll get to that in a moment.
Interestingly, I had access to another resource I hadn’t tapped into in a while. In addition to their in-person workshops, Abraham also holds regular online events they call “Abraham NOW” sessions. Like their in-person workshops, these three hour events feature people asking Abraham questions and Abraham using those questions as jumping-off points to share their wisdom.
Now, to understand all that happened, to really appreciate it, let’s look at some speculative numbers around these online events. Somewhere between 1500 and 3000 people participate in Abraham’s in-person workshops. In a given year, approximately 60 workshops happen around the country. So that’s something like 90-180,000 people attending these events. And that doesn’t even include the cruises. In-person workshops run about $300.
But Abraham NOW events are only $49. Much more affordable. I speculate that about a quarter of the same number of people who attend the workshops in a year are tuning in to each Abraham NOW session. That’s a lot of people. But it shouldn’t be surprising: they’re more frequent, they cost less and they are far more convenient.
Those planning to attend an Abraham NOW event can also submit one written or one video question. For sure, a lot of people do that too. And there isn’t enough time to answer every question. So just like at the in-person events, Abraham selects the questions they will feature.
An example of past Abraham NOW event recordings from the Abraham website.
Was the advice wrong?
After the election, as I wrote above, several clients were struggling with the outcome. I was too, although for different reasons. Two days after the election, I got an impulse that Abraham was probably going to have an Abraham NOW session scheduled. They are Infinite Intelligence after all. So they probably anticipated that a lot of humans would be all bunged up no matter what the result. They would want answers.
Sure enough, when I logged into my Abraham-Hicks.com account, I saw an Abraham NOW event scheduled for that Saturday, November 9. I told all my advanced clients about it, then registered myself. This was on a Friday afternoon at about 1:45 p.m. The registration page invited me to submit a video or written question, but I only had until 2 p.m. to get it in. Perfect timing! I had 15 minutes to submit a question, which I did.
My question was basically “how did my Broader Perspective get it wrong?” I phrased it that way purposefully because I wanted an answer I could share with my clients, should they not register themselves. I wondered whether Abraham would use my video question on the live stream, but didn’t worry too much. Other people would have the same question too, I knew.
So when Saturday came, I logged into the live stream. Sure enough, several people questioned the election results. Many were worried about the outcome. I wasn’t worried about that. I just wanted to know how my Broader Perspective encouraged me towards a result that didn’t happen. But it was good to hear how Abraham answered those questions.
As the event wound down, and more people got their questions answered, I wondered whether my question would air.
It wasn’t wrong
Ten minutes prior to the event end, and not seeing my question featured yet, I surrendered to the possibility my question wouldn’t get answered. At that very moment I surrendered, my iPhone showed what many in New Age Circles call an “Angel Number“. The number was 1313. And in that very minute, Abraham said “let’s watch another video”….and my face appeared.
Just like in my initiation journey I wrote about before, I got featured at the very end. And I understood why: all the other questions and answers lead perfectly to my question. Of course, that all thrilled me. But the answer Abraham gave was astounding too.
In short, they said, my Broader Perspective didn’t get it wrong. What it did was offer guidance that would create contrast that would prompt stronger asking on my part. They also said the outcome represented the path of least resistance for everyone given what they want and that the unfolding, post election, will contain everything everyone wants. Everything will come in ways Americans can’t comprehend right now, they said, but will be completely satisfying as it all unfolds.
The answer made total sense. Especially after everything Abraham shared in answering questions preceding mine.
After the live stream, I thought about Abraham’s answer. It reminded me of something I learned in my Buddhist studies. And the more I thought about that thing I learned, the more satisfied I became about the election. The more optimistic I got about what was to happen as well.
I want to share what that thing was that I learned next.
A parable of expedient means
The Lotus Sutra is the pinnacle of Buddhist Sutras. A lot of Buddhists and some scholars might disagree with that assertion. But when one reads the Lotus Sutra, it becomes obvious. The Buddha says many, many times throughout the Sutra that it is his ultimate teaching.
My scholarly study focused almost exclusively on this Sutra. That’s because I knew it to be the crown jewel of the Buddha’s teachings. It’s a marvelous work. It lays out in great detail the nature of the Buddhas, their blessings, where they come from and benefits those who hear the Lotus Sutra receive. What I remembered learning about was a parable offered in this Sutra. The parable is set up in Chapter 2 — Skillful or Expedient Means, and told in Chapter 3 — A parable.
Chapter 2 reveals that all Buddhas employ expedient means to lead people to enlightenment. There’s a lot of detail and repetition in the Lotus Sutra and these chapters are no different. But the gist of it is, Infinite Intelligence knows that ordinary humans are hard to reach. So it communicates in many different ways to reach them. Sometimes it will even use what people might call deceptions or falsehoods.
Chapter three gives an example of a rich man who has many kids. The kids run into a run down house (I’m simplifying the parable). Then the house catches fire. But the kids found toys in the house and are too busy playing with them to notice the fire. The rich man notices though. The fire rages and the house is about to collapse on the kids. The father calls to the them, saying “run out of the house, it’s on fire!” But the kids don’t listen.
Skillful means
So the father tells the children he has assembled carts of fabulous wealth for all of them. Not only that, the carts contain the rarest of toys and the kids can have them all, he says. Hearing this, the kids come rushing out from the house as the house collapses in flames.
Once outside the children ask for the carts, which their father provides.
The Buddha then asks his listeners “did the father lie?” No, the listeners say, he did what he had to do to save his kids. The Buddha agrees then goes on to explain how Infinite Intelligence uses similar means to move people to enlightenment.
There’s another story told apart from the Lotus Sutra. It’s about the Buddha on a path to a wondrous kingdom, followed by his adherents. Halfway to the kingdom, the adherents tire out. The Buddha sees they can go no farther. But he knows the adherents will rejoice once they arrive at the kingdom.
So he manifests an hallucination. Right around the corner on the path the adherents discover a beautiful oasis filled with all manner of luxuries. The adherents think they’ve arrived at the kingdom; they don’t realize it’s an hallucination. Once they are refreshed, the Buddha then disappears the hallucination. The adherents are shocked. Some are angry. At that point the Buddha explains his expedient means.
He describes how their destination is far better than what they just experienced. He also describes setting up the hallucination in order to refresh the adherents so they can make the rest of the way to the destination. In this way, the adherents realize, the Buddha has skillfully encouraged them to go the final distance.
Preparing for the future
See the parallels?
I sure did after I remembered these stories. What really brought the parallel home was realizing The Lotus Sutra and everything in it accord quite nicely with how the Universe works. Sure, it’s full of a lot of repetition and mind-blowing imagery. But behind all that are deep accuracies about how enlightened ones work, how people are and how the Universe works.
It was a reminder for me that everything I’ve learned so far from both Seth and Abraham is 100 percent accurate.
At that point I got how my Broader Perspective didn’t lie to me. Like Abraham reiterated, it didn’t get it wrong. It used expedient means to get me to reach for the end goal, the thing I ultimately want. Looking at the election from that perspective bolstered me. It bolstered me and also prepared me for what happened next.
That’s right, this story just keeps going and going!
The future is bright
The next week I enjoyed a couple conversations with a client who used to be a republican. He also possesses extreme knowledge about future high technologies across many sectors. Part of his knowledge includes blockchain technology. He’s as passionate about all this stuff as I am about spirituality.
The conversations with this guy made it abundantly clear where we are headed, not only as a nation, but as a global civilization. And, he showed how everything that’s going to happen will be a better extension fit with a Trump administration than would have been possible with democrats in office.
That future includes extreme material abundance for all. Super-high quality products and services offered at near zero cost. It also includes a fully automated infrastructure enabled by Artificial Intelligence and robotics. Indeed, the more he described, the more excited I got. And he didn’t just talk about the future, he speculated on how all of it would unfold.
Since I have the education and work background I have, I could follow pretty much everything he shared. It was a thrilling vision. I could see practical paths to all of it. Indeed, the more I think about it even now, the more convinced I am that this is our future.
Humanity has nothing to worry about. It’s all working out.
It was right all along
But in negative beliefs, in worry, in fear or anger, humans can’t see it all working out. We’re all going to get to that future my client described. That I’m sure. The only question is, how are individual human beings going to experience the path to that magnificent kingdom? Is their experience going to be one of sadness, worry, fear and violence? Or is their experience going to be joyful, hopeful, and eager? I know how mine is going to be.
And I’m encouraging my clients to cultivate similar experiences.
Why?
Because in those more positive emotions, we can see more. We can see opportunities we’re otherwise blind to when we’re wallowing in complaints about people who believe differently from us. When in reality they’re the very same people cooperating alongside us to create the future we all want.
That’s right. I wrote previously about how progressives helped elect Trump. They had to have because that’s who’s president starting next year. That’s our collective, co-created reality. And nothing is asserted into our experience against our will. We invite it all.
I know for many that’s hard to read. But Trump winning is the expedient means, the path of least resistance, to everything everyone wants. And that’s what’s so cool about All That Is. It has the capacity to use everyone for our ultimate good.
Interestingly, my future-oriented client claims that that future he sees will bring the far right and the far left everything both sides want all at the same time. Abraham said the exact same thing.
I’m so reassured by that. And I’m eager to see it unfold, knowing my Broader Perspective was right all along.
Postscript:
Remember where I wrote the future is bright? Well some really amazing things are happening right now, even with Trump becoming president. Indeed, because he became president…and I voted for Harris. The future, in other words, is going to be magnificent. How do I know? Consider joining this event I’ve planned for March. Have a MeetUp account? Go here.
