I've found that the deeper you go, and the more you come into contact with the divine flow, or the divine presence, or divine providence even,
that everything is answered in that presence. So it takes out the "other." Going back,
I remember years ago I was driving through the Great Plains I think of the United States, and
I don't know what I was doing, or what I was listening to on the stereo,
but I just had this dawning awareness. It was really kind of exciting that I had nothing to go back to, at all!
It was just like a gleeful experience. Like oh my gosh! There is absolutely nothing to go back to. And I loved the feel of that.
So much so, that I just wanted to dive into that, and live in that.
Even when I got into quantum physics, and a lot of other things I had that feeling of being so present,
that if even I seemed to be traveling in Europe, and England or something and they started asking questions about the United States,
it was as if it was gone. Like the United States was just a figment of my imagination.
It wasn't really there, and it was that present. That totally present.
And I think what our lives are demonstrations of, is just giving yourself total permission and allowance to dive into that.
It's a very joyful, relaxed, experience.
And it is only the belief somehow that we have to juggle between concepts of ourselves that brings out stress.
You know there's the flight attendant self, that is the wage earner, and brings home the money for all kinds of other things.
And then there's this really spontaneous self, that's here with great allowance, allowing the day to just unfold and be given moment by moment.
And I think that's part of the reason why people come and hear us and hang out with us,
because, we really go with the latter.
And we don't really have anything to go back to.
We don't have day jobs to go to. It becomes your whole presence, your very being, and there is no "other" to it.
And if there are plans to be made, we trust that they will just drop in, and be given.
I've even had that happen like two years in advance, as strange as that may seem.
But from the Spirit where sure enough, I show up two years later at whatever conference I'm supposed to speak at, in whatever country or whatever. It all works out.
But I certainly don't hold it in mind. I don't even think about it,
until it's right upon me. Then I go oh... cool.
It's just like all the rest. It's not something that I actually give a lot of thought to.
If the world was like a video game,
and you really believed it was like an interactive video game,
like you were a character, you had to interact with seven other billion characters on this one planet,
not all at once, hopefully.
But still, it can seem difficult, challenging.
People talk about, they pushed my buttons, or they rubbed me the wrong way,
or I just don't like to be around these kind of people, I'd rather be around those kind of people.
All the preferences, likes, dislikes, opinions and so forth.
And in that sense of an interactive video game, it's pretty complex.
You do find yourself having to navigate, purely to kind of plan.
You may have segments like a vacation, where you give yourself permission to do the freestyle, and see how that feels.
But then there's something to go back to, where you really have to kind of navigate time and space.
The alternative really is, what we call intuitive guidance.
It just takes the interactivity out of it.
So that everything in your life comes intuitively, and we'll say internally.
It's just given
It comes so effortlessly, that there's not a struggle with it. There's no planning.
You don't have to weigh the pros and cons. It's just given.
It could even be, like in psychology class years ago. They used to talk about these life stressors:
Losing a partner, losing a job, moving to another location, getting married, getting divorced.
They would list all these events, that are called the life stressors.
Sometimes people, I've been told, spend their whole life planning in their minds a wedding.
Hoping their wedding day comes and then when it comes it's super stressful.
Because they've kind of been aiming for it for their whole life and put all this attention onto one day.
It's got to be the perfect day, and it's highly stressful, and you can say that about anything.
But what we're talking about, is just becoming so intuitive that it's just given.
Imagine any kind of event, whether it's a marriage, or divorce, or taking a job, leaving a job, moving, staying put.
Whatever would come, would just come very effortlessly, just be given.
And then it just extends through you and you feel one with it.
And it's just effortless and easy in that way.
You don't have to take a vote on it, you don't have to say to somebody let me run this by you and see if you agree with me.
It's not really a matter of agreement, or not agreement. It's just givenness,
and it makes everything very simple
very, very simple.
