As you probably know by now I am obsessed with transformation. More specifically, I’m obsessed with the idea that I / we can create the specific outcomes we really want by simply changing the root cause of our experience (and by root cause I mean our perceptions).
And there is ONE moment when you can make a giant leap in your life.
ONE moment when you can completely transform everything and prove to yourself and to God and to whoever you want that you are here to fully unleash your highest purpose and experience real freedom in this lifetime. And that moment is:
When you are really, REALLY triggered and you want to act out in the way you always do.
If you are a spiritual practitioner, and you want to fully unlock your highest spiritual power, you must activate it in the moments when you are most challenged. This is how you cross the divide.
I shared this with my Inner Circle coaching community – and please take this example as a clear example:
A few weeks ago I was meditating on the couch while my wife was serving my daughter dinner (yes, it’s strange, but I do that). My wife was triggered that night, angry and frustrated with me about some real life situations – and as I was sitting there she was pinging me.
She wasn’t getting any reaction, but then said something that really triggered me. A zinger that went right to the heart of all my pain and frustration, and I felt myself wanting to jump up and explode. My typical unconscious reflection is anger, rage, fighting – and that’s just what I wanted to do.
But I was sitting in meditation!! So I wisely (and amazingly) said to myself ‘this is your opportunity to practice. Any fool can just sit there when all is well but right now you are meeting your real pain – can you sit with THIS’?
So I just sat and didn’t react. Her frustration got more intense and she zinged me harder, forcing the dagger into all the right places. I felt waves of rage and I did everything I could do just to be the observer and not let ‘it’ control me. The waves were so strong my body was shaking and convulsing (later they would tell me I looked possessed).
But I didn’t budge. F that. I’ve been doing this for so long and the reason I do it is to change THIS. Here was my test. This was a perfect chance.
Eventually she stopped pinging me, seeing I wasn’t taking the bait. 30 minutes passed and they went into another room and the waves of rage also passed (as they always do).
I continued to sit and observe, and as soon as the intensity subsided I felt a deep compassion for myself. Wow, it was really HARD it was to be me.
I kept sitting and pretty soon felt a deep compassion for my wife. It was really hard to be her too – and she had a real gripe that I was unable to hear in those initial moments.
When she finally came back in to discuss what happened the first thing I said to her was ‘I’m sorry’.
Back to my original point: do you REALLY want to change your life? Do you really want to unlock your spiritual power? Like seriously uproot the core dysfunction and free yourself from the smallness of your limited mind? Do your version of what I did above.
Become the observer, the witness and DON’T react. Let it all be. This is the real superpower…..
Love y’all!
