So there's something I've been noticing you know, I just had this really quite
exciting, fun experience. I did a lot of traveling over this last month: Colombia,
South America, Canada, Vancouver Canada, Oregon, Washington, California, a number of
places and I got to meet with a lot of people. Lot of students. A lot of people
in general. I was really interested in seeing what is the world out there
really beginning to look like with a lot of these transitions and just have
one-on-one conversations with people asking, basically, what do you notice?
How's life working? And one of the things that was consistent is, people would say,
"I'm noticing changes, all this is going on but I don't know what to do. What do I do?"
The question would constantly come up. "What do I do? How do I fix this? You know
something, tell me what I should do." And the part to that that is really
all about all the work we do and everything else is, the real question is:
What do you want to do? This is all about you, personally. But this question, 'What do I
do' was, kind of, it just stopped there. There was no second thought. There was no
question that basically said, "What if?" You know, here's my circumstance but what if
this happens or what if this happens what would I do?
How would I view this? So the question was: what do I do?
but they didn't-- I'm asking-- but they didn't take the next step and say in
their own head: Well what if-- this possibility, or how would I go about this,
or what would be possible? So I really want to kind of raise this because it
was so consistent across the board that the next thought-- What do I do?
What if? How would it be possible? What would I like it to be? --wasn't brought
into their thinking process. So this space where these
changes are happening, these changes are now beginning to happen rapidly, like we
talked about last week, your stuff is coming up. And many times that stuff is
going to come up and it hits you as an emotion. And in the emotion you go back
to your past life at kindergarten or high school, whatever it may be. And then,
'I don't know what to do' is in fact the circumstance from the past. But right
here, as much of this is all leaving, you are no longer finding yourself in the
same status quo. Your life is being changed. You know, I mean, you take it to a
real extreme: what if, you know, North Korea and Donald Trump really got into a
contest and one of them just said, "Screw you" and pushed the button? Really a
huge change in the status quo. But the world is on the edge of multiple
tipping points that the probability at any given point something, not that
dramatic necessarily, is going to come about. Well, and that even expand--
not expands, but comes into the individual. If the individual is on a number of
tipping points, they're not as dramatic as that perhaps, but every day we're
faced with this 'what do I do?' and, and either I stay stuck in 'what do I do' and
I don't move, or I ask the next question: what if? or, how would it be possible?
Right, right. So one of these shifts that is coming about is guaranteed your
status quo is not going to remain. Whether it's simple or whether it's
large, big, or small, what you are accustomed to is changing. And so
developing a different model to begin to ask the 'what if', right now is, I think, a
really useful thing. Not only from the standpoint of
I have a problem what if, but what if I had a different life, what if I really
could have a lot of those things that I want, what if I could really go live on
the beach like I've always wanted to do? So the great part about this transition
is: it's a transition. And when you have transition and you have change, you have
the capacity for movement. But when everybody is in agreement with the flow
of the river, changing the direction of the river is virtually impossible. So the
exciting part right now is beginning to develop that context of 'what if?' How
would it be possible, where could I go with this, could I do something different?
Asking the next question. Asking the next question. Yeah it's like, here's an
example: we're working with this publisher, we're publishing our next book
and they sent me a cover design. And whether they remember or not I used to
be an art director with designers below me so I know how this works
and I know what would work and what would possibly not work. And so they sent
me this cover design and it was obviously amateurish and it wasn't going
to work. So instead of going somewhere else I just took a step back and I said,
How would it be possible-- in my own space-- how would it be possible to recreate
this to make a design that works? And so through that process I asked them: what's
another design? So they sent us 55 designs that they thought-- that they
rejected. But one of them was really quite good so if I had not asked that
question to myself-- "How would it be possible?"-- we would not have seen this one
design. And what was interesting about that is, they sent you the 55
rejected designs to support the one that they thought was good. Right. They didn't
really take a look and see how could they support your desire to do something
different. Which was fine I-- we're getting the result we wanted. Yeah, yeah. So, what
is possible, how can I go about this, what could I do
differently, is something that is, I believe, can be very much in everybody's
best interest if they start looking at it from the standpoint of: how would it
be possible? This space that we're playing in, you're talking about love and
light and beauty and well-being, you're stepping into this fifth dimensional
space, but you can't take your baggage with you. When you step into this fifth
dimensional space, it's not a free lunch. It's not a 'touched on the top of
your head with the magic wand and now everything's beautiful.'
There's really quite a bit of assembly and opportunity in the process. And I say
opportunity because without the baggage, the ability to literally step into an
experience that doesn't work, it's not a failure it just, oops it didn't work, I
thought it was going to work. Without the baggage it gives you the permission to
step back and, like you did with the-- with the book cover, it's really to say:
how is this possible, what are my other choices, what did I do here that didn't
allow what I thought was going to happen? And so this creative opportunity is very
much coming in with these waves of light we talked about last weekend. It's the
process though of each one of us individually deciding to embrace the
possibility of a new opportunity without trying to stay in the old status quo and
hope for some gift that's going to come forth. And not trying to control it
either. It's simply asking the next question. Yeah. What if, how would it be
possible, what's next, opening, opening it up a little bit. Yeah
and really recognizing-- and this is something I've been watching in the
sleep space that's opening up with these waves of light, it's really incredible-- the
choices and the, and the engagement in the choice, is becoming very, very available.
And so from a place of positive well-being and the
creative 'what if' and 'how's it possible' enthusiasm, those pieces are going to
come about quickly. But understand on the flip side -- 'I don't know what to do' and 'I
don't think it's going to work' -- it's going to come about quickly. So these
changes are coming faster and faster in present time, so developing a different
mindset going into these changes, starting now and more so over the next
couple of years. Because you're going to start to have almost immediate results.
The structure of time is changing to where it's collapsing. It feels like
it's going faster and faster but it's not. It's collapsing into the present
moment and there's going to be a day where you hold out your hand
and the apple will appear because you asked for it. But if you are off balance
and uncertain -- 'I'm afraid this is going to happen' -- hold out your hand and what
you're afraid is going to happen is going to happen. So it's all about your
creative process than watching, you know, the ability to 'what if' and start to
develop another structure for your own well-being and success is really, is
really very much available.
