How Many Stories Are Messing Up Your Life?

by

Earlier this month my wife and I took the honeymoon we never took when we got married 16 years ago. We went to an extraordinary resort on the island of Anguilla called Cap Juluca.

The first day there we took a long walk on the beach and got hot and sweaty, so we decided to take a swim.

As I considered diving into the water, a thought appeared saying, “Oooh, it’s going to be really cold” and I found myself delaying the dive into the water.

I had strong memories of the sensation of cold and discomfort when diving into the water from my younger days as a competitive swimmer.

Then I remembered something I discovered on my journey of discovery into The Teachings.

“Cold” is just a story.

If you dive into water and you say it’s “cold,” how do you know it’s “cold”? Ever thought about that?

If you close your eyes and focus on the sensation itself, is there anything in it that says “cold”? 

No.

Beyond that, how do you know that “cold” is uncomfortable? Ever thought about that?

If you close your eyes and focus on the sensation itself, is there anything in it that says “discomfort”? 

Nope. Nothing at all.

“Cold” and “discomfort” are just stories. Just thought stories that appear in the mind.

It all happens on auto-pilot, lightning-fast, from what I call “The Mind Machine” — and we generally accept such judgments and stories without examining or questioning them.

Recalling and Seeing that Truth, I dove into the water, open to the actual experience of my body connecting with the water, what I call “the pure experience.”

As my body connected with the water, I did notice that a very strong sensation appeared in my awareness. An intense one. I could see why the labels “cold” and “uncomfortable” were attached to it.

But without the commentary from The Mind Machine, without the judgment, without the story that cold is Real and True and bad and uncomfortable, the strong sensation, the intensity, was actually quite pleasurable.

It made me think about how many things we experience, personal and business, where the same dynamic appears.

See, what I’m speaking about isn’t just about water and cold. It’s about virtually everything you experience across the board — inside and outside of yourself.

Hmmm …

Illusions Appearing Real …

by

The Teachings I share are about exposing lies, illusions, stories and myths — and shining the Light of Truth upon them.

They’re about exchanging the experience of limitation and restriction (that come from those lies, illusions and stories) for a direct and consistent Knowing, Seeing and Experience of Truth.

That means exposing what I call “sleight of hand in Consciousness”; lies, illusions and stories we believe to be true in our personal lives, in our careers; as it relates to money, manifesting abundance, personal development and spiritual development — everywhere and everything.

The following video was shared with me by my client, Rosemarie McDowall. It depicts an amazing light show projected  … live and realtime … onto the front of a building I’m told is in Kharkov (a city in the Ukraine) — showing how real illusions, sleight of hand, can appear (including in Consciousness).

Watch and enjoy it — on a literal and spiritual level:

What if you could See and appreciate everything that appears to happen to you, no matter what story could be told about it, like you can See and appreciate the illusions in the video above?

What’s Your Personal Growth, Self-Improvement, Self-Help, And Spiritual Growth “Type”?

by

Those who have a passion for personal growth, spiritual growth, self-help, self-improvement, spirituality, abundance, prosperity consciousness, life happiness, or whatever other labels you prefer that point to similar dynamics, tend to fall into 3 types that I call:

  1. Collectors
  2. Doers
  3. Transformers

Collectors
Go from self-help book to self-help book, self-help seminar to self-help seminar, self-help video to self-help video, self-help audio to self-help audio, etc. —  collecting self-improvement ideas and concepts. For Collectors, everything remains at an intellectual or theoretical level, and they seldom if ever experience any lasting results. They just collect. Most Collectors have no idea that’s all they’re doing.

Doers
Go from self-improvement technique to self-improvement technique, personal growth strategy to personal growth strategy, spiritual growth healer to spiritual growth healer, taking action in an attempt to change, fix, and improve specific aspects of their lives (to produce specific results). Most Doers never find the self-improvement techniques or strategies that actually end up creating permanent and True Transformation.

Transformers
After being a Collector or Doer for a while, or directly, they actually experience permanently transformative self-improvement and spiritual growth results. They actually end up Experiencing and Knowing Truth (with a capital “T”).

Collectors and Doers will never become Transformers … unless one radical shift is made in their “approach” or personal dynamics.

I began as a Collector, transitioned into being a Doer, and ultimately became a Transformer.

Of course, these are all just arbitrary labels being used to point to a Truth that ultimately cannot be described in words.

I recorded a video to go into more detail on this. You can watch it here:

Enjoy!
