Some people think that life is largely against us, that life is the roll of the dice. As Einstein said, “The dice of God are always loaded.” It means that life doesn’t just happen, but life happens just. There is order. There is a certain pattern and lawfulness to life.

Chaos theory says if you step back far enough from what appears to be random chaos, you will see a pattern. You will see order. The Universe is not chaotic. It is chaortic.

What I really mean by ‘why life is set up to fail you’ is something I call the great betrayal, or the big betrayal. I talk about it in my Awakened Wealth work. It’s best to tell you by means of a story…

The basic story is how years ago when I was first on a spiritual path, and I had pulled out of society for the most part to go on this inward journey. I was doing all of the right things. I was doing so much deep inner work, and there was a lot of great benefits for it, a level of peace and joy and creativity that was emerging. At the same time, as that was emerging my bank balance was submerging. It was collapsing. It was going away, and eventually I found myself broke, literally living on a prayer, and sitting in my meditation chair in the middle of the room with a bill collector knocking at the back door and the landlord knocking at the front door, on the verge of being evicted. Having no human means to support myself anymore.

I was, to be quite honest, pissed off at God. I had what I call my Gary Sinise moment. I don’t think Forest Gump was even out at that point, but I know call it my Gary Sinise moment. Where he’s in Forest Gump, and he’s on the mast of the ship, and shaking his fist at the heavens and the storm and saying, “Bring it on, God.” I didn’t understand. How did all my efforts get me back to this place again where I was once again broke? I remember saying, “This stuff is either a bunch of BS, or there’s something real here. One way or the other I’m not getting up from this chair until I know. I’m not going to go through this cycle again and again anymore. I’m done.”

I sat in that meditation chair, and I sat and sat. Daylight turned to dusk. The crickets come out for their nightly chorus, and I began to wrestle my demons and get pinned to the floor.

At some point in the middle of the night this awareness broke through, and I don’t know if it was a voice or a thought, but it was definitely Divine awareness of guidance. It said, essentially, “You made your savings account your God.”

I had basically had a savings account, a nest egg, and I was leaving that alone as a form of security, but then putting all my extra things or whatever I was doing beyond any money that was coming in, if I needed more money I was just putting it on credit cards. I had built up this credit card debt, but I wasn’t touching the next egg. Little bit by little bit it dwindled until it was pretty much nothing. It said, “You made that savings account your God, your Source.” Essentially, thou shalt have no other gods before me. I half expected to turn around and see Moses there holding a tablet up, looking strangely like Charlton Heston!

As soon as that awareness broke through this peace came over me. It was like this pressure valve released, and all the stress drained away. The insight that came was that it’s literally designed this way – that you don’t put anything outside of you as your God, as your Source. When you make anything outside of you your Source of safety, supply, security, or support, it’s designed to fail you.

The reason is because when you make something outside of you your source what starts to happen? You start to give away your power to that thing or person you think is your Source.

[The following is the full transcript of this episode of the Emergence, A Revolutionary Path for Radical Life Change, with Derek Rydall Podcast]

Welcome to Emergence, the revolutionary path for radical life change. This is Derek Rydall, founder of the Law of Emergence, bestselling author of the book Emergence, and your guide on the side for this journey of awakening the full potential in every area of your life through this process and model of emergence. Today were going to be talking about why life is set up to fail you. Isnt that just a crazy title? Why would life be set up to fail us? Now some people think that life is largely against us, that life is a crap shoot, that life is the roll of the dice. As Einstein said, The dice of God are always loaded. It means that life doesnt just happen, but life happens just. There is order. There is a certain pattern and lawfulness to life. Chaos theory says if you step back far enough from what appears to be random chaos you will see a pattern. You will see order. The Universe is not chaotic. It is chaortic.

Why life is set up to fail you, and what I really mean by that its something I call the great betrayal, or the big betrayal. I talk about it in my Awakened Wealth work. Its best to tell you by means of a story. The basic story is how years ago when I was first on a spiritual path, and I had pulled out of society for the most part to go on this inward journey. I was doing all of the right things. I was doing so much deep inner work, and there was a lot of great benefits for it, a level of peace and joy and creativity that was emerging. At the same time, as that was emerging my bank balance was submerging. It was collapsing. It was going away, and eventually I found myself broke, literally living on a prayer, and sitting in my meditation chair in the middle of the room with a bill collector knocking at the back door and the landlord knocking at the front door, on the verge of being evicted. Having no human means to support myself anymore.

I was, to be quite honest, pissed off at God. I had what I call my Gary Sinise moment. I dont think Forest Gump was even out at that point, but I know call it my Gary Sinise moment. Where hes in Forest Gump, and hes on the mast of the ship, and hes shaking his fist at the heavens and the storm and saying, Bring it on, God. I didnt understand. How did all my efforts get me back to this place again where I was once again broke? I remember saying, This stuff is either a bunch of BS, or theres something real here. One way or the other Im not getting up from this chair until I know. Im not going to go through this cycle again and again anymore. Im done. I sat in that meditation chair, and I sat and sat. Daylight turned to dusk. The crickets come out for their nightly chorus, and I began to wrestle my demons and get pinned to the floor.

At some point in the middle of the night this awareness broke through, and I dont know if it was a voice or a thought, but it was definitely Divine awareness of guidance. It said, essentially, You made your savings account your God. I had basically had a savings account, a nest egg, and I was leaving that alone as a form of security, but then putting all my extra things or whatever I was doing beyond any money that was coming in, if I needed more money I was just putting it on credit cards. I had built up this credit card debt, but I wasnt touching the next egg. Little bit by little bit it dwindled until it was pretty much nothing. It said, You made that savings account your God, your Source. Essentially, thou shalt have no other gods before me. I half expected to turn around and see Moses there holding a tablet up, looking strangely like Charlton Heston.

As soon as that awareness broke through this peace came over me. It was like this pressure valve released, and all the stress drained away. The insight that came was that its literally designed this way that you dont put anything outside of you as your God, as your Source. Just think of it that way. Whatever language you like. If you dont like the word God thats fine. Think of it as Source, as the source of your life, as the source of your supply, your safety, your security, and your support. I basically said, When you make anything outside of you your Source of safety, supply, security, or support, its designed to fail you. The reason is because when you make something outside of you your source whatstarts to happen? You start to give away your power to that thing or person you think is your Source. If its a job you start to be less and less who you really are, or if theres something you really want to say or do you maybe dont, because youre afraid youll lose your source of employment.

You might be going right now, duh, Derek. My job is my source of employment. No. its actually not. If youve been following these teachings for some time, or any time, you know that thats true. Theres only one Source of everything, and that is God, or Divine Spirit, or whatever you want to call it, Uncle Joe if thats what you want to call it. Whatever you call it, you have to understand that its within you. This is what all the great teachers and teachings have ever said. The Kingdom of Heaven, the Nirvanic Realm, the Tao, whatever name, its within you. Within you is the center and the Source of all of creation. Not within your ego, not within your body, not within your personality, but within your consciousness, within your soul, which is your true nature and being. It is the Source of everything. Thats why the word for man in Sanskrit means the dispenser of Divine gifts. You are literally an opening, an instrument of the Universe, of Heaven. You are literally the opening, the portal through which all of infinity gets to pour forth. Nothing comes into this world unless it comes through us. Thats why from the Emergence model whatever is missing is what youre not giving, and whatever youre waiting for youre waiting with, and often weighing it down. This is ultimately the greatest wait loss program.

Heres what happens. When you make something outside of you your Source, whether its a bank account, a boss, a business, a client, you have to start manipulating and controlling and cajoling and twisting yourself into a pretzel to do and be whatever you think is necessary to get what you think you dont have, or to hold on to what you think someone can take away. Right? If you think its the government, or you think its your partner, your spouse, family members, whatever it is, you cannot truly be in a place of power, because you have to keep adjusting to something outside of you. If the economy starts to take a dive, you will panic, and you will start to withdrawal and shrink and constrict and adapt, which is the worst thing to do. To constrict and shrink in the face of contraction is exactly the opposite of what you need to do. You need to expand in the face of it. You cant expand if you think thats your Source. If you think the economy is your Source, and when it shrinks youre obviously going to shrink. Youre going to adjust. Youre going to cut back, cut down.

I remember years ago when I had this awareness. I had already had this official awareness, but it was one of the recessions, and my initial fearful response was to cut back, cut down, reduce my charitable giving, maybe even stop it for a time. What came through was, No. Were going to double it. I was like, What? What do you mean double it? It was the remembrance, you are the Source of infinite supply. Youre not beholden on whats going on out there. Nows a chance to prove it. I dont know if I doubled it, perhaps I did, but I definitely greatly increased it and began to give even more. On the other side of that so-called recession where so many people I knew their savings accounts, their income had shrunk. Some of them were even losing their homes. Mine had greatly expanded, perhaps even doubled or more. There was so much potential on the horizon, because I recognized and I practiced the truth that I was the Source, not I, Derek, but this I that I am, the same I that you are.

As you notice where youre giving your power away, you also begin to resent that Source, if its a person, if its a partner, a spouse, a boss, and you start to feel guilty or ashamed within yourself. You start to resent yourself. You start to feel cheated, betrayed. Just notice that. Notice wherever you feel someone is your Source. Notice your relationship to that person. Notice how you can feel used or cheated or betrayed so easily. Notice how theres elements of resentment. Notice how theres a part of you that wants to break away and perhaps even has from a rebellious standpoint. Notice the times where you have made something your Source, and its gotten worse and worse until eventually that source did fail you, did cheat you, did betray you. You may still be really hurting from that, like they really did cheat you, betray you, but no. They played their part exactly as they were supposed to.

The Universe is designed to fail you. Life is set up to fail you when you put your power, your source of safety, security, supply, or support in anyone or anything outside of you, so that ultimately you will come back home again to realize that everything you could ever need is within you. When you get hooked up with the Source within you, and really understand that it is everything you could ever need, now you begin to free yourself from these power plays. You begin to free yourself from all the resentment and feeling like a victim. You begin to heal those relationships. You begin to forgive others, release others, forgive them their debts. You realize nobody owes you anything. Nobody. Not even God. Its all within you.

Likewise, you begin to realize you dont owe anybody anything either, because its all within them too. That doesnt mean that you dont ask for help and that you dont help others. Its quite the opposite. Once you realize youre the Source, you know that you dont owe anybody anything, but because you know youre the Source of infinite good, you start thrilling in all the opportunities to give. Giving starts to be your greatest joy. Its like more and more all you want to do is give. You live to give. Then you start to look around and realize thats what all of life is doing. Look at nature. Its so abundant. Its so lavish. Its so opulent. This invisible presence of nature, it doesnt just give enough to get by. Are there just enough leaves to get by on the trees? Are there just enough stars to get by? Just enough grains of sand? Just enough species, just enough anything? No. Theres more than enough. Theres abundance. As the scriptural passage says, I have come that ye may have life and have it more abundantly. You start to realize that you play the same role. Its all that you can do to just keep giving and sharing and shining and circulating this infinite storehouse of good within you. Then you start to notice that you cant out give God. The more you give, the more life seems to give back to you, pressed down and overflowing. You cast your bread upon the waters of life by giving and giving, and it circulates around back to you multiplied.

Whats really happening is that the more you know youre Source, and you give from that consciousness that you are Source, you expand the portals of your consciousness. You become a bigger place. The Universe goes, Theres someone who knows who they are. Theres someone through which I can completely shine. The Universe pours more and more and more through you, because it wants to put itself on display. It says, You are my beloved, in whom now I am well pleased, and all that I have is yours. It just pours and pours through you, as you. That consciousness then manifests as what appears to be more and more situations where you are blessed, where you are rewarded, where you are given to.

In order to get to that state you have to begin the practice of fasting from getting, from seeking to get. You have to begin to notice all these places where life has seemed to fail you its because youve made something or someone outside of you your Source. You need to begin the practice of what I call the giving challenge where you begin to practice as if its actually true that everything is within you, because truth doesnt do you any good if you dont know it and if you dont live it. Thats why it says, You shall know the truth, and then the truth shall make you free. The truth doesnt just make you free, like electricity knowing that its everywhere doesnt do you any good unless youre plugged in.

Likewise faith without works is dead. You must act upon the good you know. You must live from it, live into it. It doesnt mean you have to start walking on water or give all that you have away to the poor. It does mean you have to begin to take steps in living and acting as if. Just start with those places where its a little uncomfortable, like when you go to work out for the first time you dont go and lift weights so heavy that it rips your muscles, because then you end up in the hospital and cant work out for the next month or longer. Heres my challenge to you. I want to invite you to take the giving challenge. Lets just say for the next seven days. You begin to write down all the places youve been looking to get something, to get love, validation, approval, support, supply. Anyone or anything youre trying to get something from or believe that they should be giving it to you, maybe youve even stopped trying, because youre resigned or resentful, write it all down. Then I want you to reverse the flow and become a giver.

Heres how the giving works. Its based on the Law of Circulation. You cannot give what you dont have. The first step is wherever youve been trying to get something you have to give it to yourself, whether its love, validation, appreciation, respect. You ask, what would it look like if I really loved or validated or appreciated myself? How would I act today or in this relationship or at the job or in this moment if I really, and then fill in the quality, loved myself, validated myself, approved or appreciated myself? How would I be today or in this situation? What would I do? What would I say? What would I stop doing? What would I do more of or less of? Thats the first step. You have to give it to yourself.

If its money youre trying to generate more in your life, if its something physical, you can do it a couple ways. One is you can look for ways to spend money on yourself in a way that you have withheld from yourself in the past or currently. It doesnt have to be major. Maybe its like you just wanted to get some organic apples, because theyre high in pesticides, but you find yourself going, I just cant do that. Its $0.99 extra. Youve wanted to get a massage, and maybe youre better at giving to others, but you just dont give it to yourself in those areas. Find some area like that. The other way you can work with money or physical things that youre trying to generate is ask, how would I feel about myself if I had more money, or if I had more of that thing? Maybe you would say, Id feel more confident, more powerful, more worthy. Then you can ask, if I truly treated myself as a person who is more worthy, if Ireally believed I was worthy, how would I show up today? If I really believed or felt confident, how might I show up today? Thats the first step. You cannot give what you dont have, so you begin to practice giving to yourself.

The second step is you cannot keep what you dont give away. So you have to now look to those places youve been trying to get and start to find ways to give the thing you were trying to get. If its a boss, youre looking for more respect, look for legitimate ways to give that boss more respect. You dont have to limit it there. You can try to give it in other places too. That would be the main focus. Youre giving it to yourself, you cannot give what you dont have. Youre giving it away, because you cannot keep what you dont give.

Then finally you cannot sustain what you dont receiver. You notice, just be aware where life or others are trying to give you something, love, validation, appreciation, respect, even if its in their own awkward way. Its actually love coming at you, and you can look in the area where youre struggling, but you can also be open to it anywhere. You start to notice how much is coming to you that you dont notice, that you take for granted, that you misinterpret. Not just from people, but just look around you and notice the chair youre sitting on. Its supporting you. Its giving you support. That sun thats shining is giving you Vitamin D and other nutrients, warmth. Just look around and begin to catalog and inventory all the things that are coming, and breathe it in. Somebody compliments you, they say, That dress is great. You notice how you might normally go, This old thing? Thats you deflecting that love. They mention something. They try to do something nice for you, and you want to immediately give it back to them. They give you a gift. You want to immediately give them a gift. Thats you not letting it in. When somebody compliments you, take it in, say thank you, and be quiet. Dont have to give them one back. They give you a gift. Thank you. Really take it in. You dont have to give it back.

Thats the Law of Circulation. Youre write down all the places youre trying to get. Youre going to fast for the next seven days from trying to get anything, and youre going to feast on the Law of Circulation and the giving, giving to yourself, giving to others, and then receiving. Its like one complete breath cycle. Breathing in, breathing out, and once you exhale all that out from your lungs naturally receiving the air back in again.

Now when I say youre fasting from getting that doesnt mean you dont get to keep doing stuff in life, that you dont get to keep going out there and trying and doing good work. Lets say you have a book, and you want to get it published. That doesnt mean you stop sending out query letters. Thats not what I mean. I mean you look at those areas where you believe theyre your Source, and you shift that dynamic. If you shift that dynamic you can still be asking for help, asking for a promotion, asking for a book deal, seeking out a new client, but its from an energy of knowing theyre not your source. Your good does not come from them, although it may come through them. Theyre a channel. Theyre not the Source. You, and you alone, are the source. You got it?

Ask Derek: How Do I Manifest More Money or Anything? [Podcast]

[vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]How do you manifest more money or anything?

First it’s important to understand the true nature of manifestation.

Manifesting, from the Emergence model – from the truth principle, is not about making something happen or appear that does not yet exist. To make something manifest to is to make that which is already happening, (but is invisible, intangible, or inaudible) tangible, audible – manifest.

[bctt tweet=”Your desire is like the faint music under the static when you’re trying to find your favorite song. Tune into that station and watch your music manifest.” username=”derekrydall”]

I like to use the analogy of the radio station to help explain this… Your favorite music is playing right now on some station, but it’s not manifest until you tune your dial into the frequency where that music is broadcasting. When your dial matches the dial where the station is and where the broadcast is happening, that music becomes manifest.

You didn’t make it happen. You made it welcome. It wasn’t in the future. It wasn’t in the distance. The music was broadcasting right where you are, but you needed to come into vibrational alignment or attunement with it. The minute that alignment happened, that station became manifest, or as I like to say, you had a “manifest-station”, a manifestation.

[The following is the full transcript of this episode of the Emergence, A Revolutionary Path for Radical Life Change, with Derek Rydall Podcast]

Welcome to another episode of Ask Derek. This is Derek Rydall. Not the sage on the stage, but your guide on the side for this journey of emergence, and with these episodes we’re dealing with core questions that have either been specifically asked, or that are most commonly asked, and this a very common question, how do I manifest more money, or just how do I manifest more, or how do I manifest period? It’s a very common question, and there’s a few things that are important to understand. The first thing is to understand what really is manifestation? Manifesting, from the Emergence model, really from the truth principle, is not about making something happen or appear that does not yet exist. To make something manifest to is to make that which is already happening, but is invisible or intangible or inaudible tangible, audible, manifest.

For example, when I’ve used the analogy of the radio station. Your favorite music is playing on some station, but it’s not manifest until you tune your dial into the frequency where that music is broadcasting. When your dial matches the dial where the station is, where the broadcast is happening, that music becomes manifest. Now, you didn’t make it happen. You made it welcome. It wasn’t in the future. It wasn’t in the distance. The music was broadcasting right where you are, but you needed to come into vibrational alignment or attunement with it. The minute that alignment happened, that station became manifest, or as I like to say, you had a manifest-station, a manifestation.

The same thing is true, all manifestation is making that which is invisible visible, making an invisible idea or activity or quality visible. Now, why is that important? Because even just beginning to know that and coming from that place you understand why it’s so important that you are in the feeling tone and the vibration of the thing you want to manifest, even before it’s manifest. Right? You have to be tuned into the radio station before the radio station becomes manifest, just as you’re tuning in. It’s not going to come manifest before you get to that alignment. You have to be in alignment, right? It’s important when you don’t understand this context you’re often trying to manifest from a sense of separation and limitation, from a premise that something’s missing, something’s broken, something’s lacking, something’s wrong. You don’t have it. It’s not happening. It’s in the distance, in the future. They have it, and now you’re going to try to attract it, achieve it, manipulate it, etc. That’s a recipe for resistance, struggle, stress, suffering, and even greater limitation ultimately. Even if you manifest a bigger paycheck on that level, you will just find yourself broke at a higher income bracket. Okay?

The second thing is to really, I’m just going to say right out of the gate, we have to get out of magical thinking. This isn’t magic. It’s not like say a prayer, say an affirmation, do nothing, and poof, your life changes. Now, is it possible that you come into such alignment with the truth of your being that a miracle can happen, which is simply the instant demonstration or instant manifestation of that which is always going on? Absolutely it can. As I say, plan your life as if you’re doing all the work, then live your life as if God is. So you’re open to the miracle. You’re open to the spontaneous breakthrough and insight. You’re open to the spontaneous acceleration, but you can’t plan for that. You can’t make a plan to have a miracle. Right? You have to live your life or plan your life and be going about your life in a very real and practical way, but in the consciousness and the context of the vibration that it’s already done, that it’s already happening, that you’re already enough, that you’ve already arrived, and that miracles and spontaneous revelation is breaking out everywhere all the time. You live in that context, but you don’t wait for that to happen, and you don’t plan for that to happen. You do your practice and your prayer work and your inner work to become the consciousness and the context for that to happen, but then you get busy. You get to work. Right? You till that field, and you cultivate that soil, and you plant those seeds, and you water and weed and feed them, whether it’s the seeds of a literal garden or the seeds of creating financial abundance, or the seeds of a relationship, or wherever you want a great bountiful harvest in your life, in your work, in your relationships, with your clientele, with your practice, with your body. You live in the context and the consciousness that it’s already done, it’s already whole, complete, perfect, fulfilled, abundant, but then you absolutely have to get to work.

So we have to let go of magical thinking. It’s not like in the movie The Secret where you just dream and visualize a red bicycle, and it literally shows up at your front door. Again, I’m not saying that can’t happen. I’m saying that is really not how it normally occurs. There’s a reason for that. One of the reasons is that the process of doing the work play on a daily basis, of doing whatever it takes to get the result, in the context of truth, causes you to bump into thresholds, causes you to discover unconscious limited beliefs and patterns, causes you to develop your character and to build and embody qualities and activities of your soul in a permanent way, so that you actually are evolving. The real reason for goals is the evolution of your soul. If you just merely manifest more stuff, but you have not evolved in any way, that’s not real growth. There’s no real evolution there. There’s just manipulation of material.

Sometimes we don’t get the red bike appearing at our door. Sometimes, and most times, things don’t just poof, manifest out of thin air, because we are in a process of evolution, of discovering and uncovering more of our real self and anchoring and integrating and embodying it. So you’ve got to get to work, and you bring the joy and the peace and the gratitude and the celebration as if it’s already done to bear on whatever you’re doing. While you’re tilling that field, you bring the joy of the bountiful harvestto it. As the old Indian prayer is, you don’t just pray for rain, you pray rain. You pray and affirm from the consciousness as if the rain is falling and soaking you and soaking the ground and the harvest comes, and you eat the bounty, and everybody’s full and happy. From that place, now you pray. It’s from that place you get to work, and you write that book, or you go out and get that job, or you deliver that value to your clients, whatever it is.

I just want to make sure I’m disavowing you of any magical thinking, and this comes down to sometimes in this work we really just need to do some very basic, very practical things, and we’re avoiding the most obvious practical things. Like if you don’t have enough money, it’s amazing how many times I’ve seen people that don’t have enough money, and I say, do you have a job? They’re like, no. I’m like, that might be a good place to start. They’re like, but that’s not my mission and my purpose. My purpose is to be a bestselling author or create a thriving healing practice. I’m like, that’s great. That’s wonderful, and get a job, because there’s something in you needing to get that job and how it’s going to develop you. You’re not going to succeed in spite of the job, but because of it. I speak from very personal experiences around this. If you have to get a job to pay your bills, or you have to get two jobs to not only pay your bills, but have enough money to invest in your business and your education, then you get two jobs.

I don’t know if you heard the story about that woman that was on Oprah that lived in Africa in a little hut and ultimately wanted to be a doctor, and eventually ended up finding a way to America, New York. I think she had three or five kids, and ultimately kicked her husband out, because he was no good bum, and ended up working somewhere in the neighborhood of three jobs, raising three to five kids, while going to school full time and getting her doctorate. After I heard that, I was like I’ve just got no excuses. I’m not saying you have to be raising five kids, working three jobs, and going to full time school to become a doctor to prove that you’re really in this game, but when you look at that you have to look at yourself and go, am I really doing everything I can? If I need more money to invest in my growth and education, am I going and getting a job or two? If I really want to get more clients, am I really doing everything I can, or am I just doing a few things here and there? Am I making five calls a day? Am I going to events? Really.

Then that brings us to a very powerful but deceptively simple process called the 25 ways to manifest more. It’s as simple and as difficult as taking out a sheet of paper or your journal and writing down 25 ways you can manifest that result you want. If it’s more money, write 25 ways you can manifest more money. There are no ridiculous ways, but start with all the ways that you can think of that are real and practical. It could be getting a job, getting two jobs, asking for more hours at your current job, looking for additional projects at your current job. It can be selling things that you don’t need. It can be going out and getting new clients, offering your services at a deep discount for a short period to get a bunch of new clients or new opportunities. It can be going back to previous clients or opportunities and revitalizing them, going to existing clients and looking to add more value, upsell, side sell, downsell, supplementary, complementary offers and opportunities.

Like I’ve told the story of the gardener who mowed and blowed, the mow and blow model like most gardeners, but he began to look around and notice, really get to know the family and what their needs were and what their interests were, and he began to come up with a list of possible projects that could add more value to their life, their yard, their landscape, hardscape, different aspects around the house, building projects that he maybe could do, ways to do the garden differently or trim the hedges in the shapes of animals or whatever. He began to make these proposals to his clients, and one by one clients would accept one or more of these proposals, and he ended up doubling and tripling and really rapidly growing a business. Whereas all the other gardeners had the same opportunities, but they weren’t doing it. They weren’t looking for the opportunities. They weren’t becoming an opportunity machine. They didn’t realize that they were the Divine power plant, and a power plant doesn’t receive energy, it generates it.

You’re a power plant. You can generate opportunity. Remember, from the Emergence model whatever is missing is what you’re not giving. Life doesn’t happen to you. It happens through you and as you. You’re a storehouse of infinite riches, but you have to start circulating it by asking and by giving. So doing the 25 ways to manifest more is a very powerful practical way to begin to unlock possibilities and get the creative juices flowing, so that you’re not just thinking there’s one or two ways here, but there’s literally infinite organizing power. That means there is infinite ways that the Universe can manifest your need, infinite. So if you think there’s only one or two or 10, you haven’t even begun. As you start to come up with more and more ideas, the ideas start to mate with each other, and new ideas get born. It becomes this plus this equals this. So now the ideas on your list start to create a whole new level, other levels of possibility, insights, opportunities. It’s a very powerful practice, and if it’s hard to do 25, then do 30. If it’s easy to do 25, do 50. You want to stretch yourself. You want to get past the obvious and begin to really open up, and that doesn’t mean the obvious ideas aren’t great ones. It’s just you want to really let this be a process to activate your creative thinking mechanism.

Now you have a list of ideas, and then you want to look for the ones that you can begin to embrace right away, the low hanging fruit. I already mentioned some of those. If you’ve got clients, going back to old clients and revitalizing them is one of the fastest ways to get new business. Going to existing clients and looking for new ways to add value to them, or your existing clients or list, family, friends, etc. and offering a really great deal. Just offering your services to family and friends at a really great deal, or even offering it for free for the first time in order to enroll them into more, a bigger package or ongoing support or service, or whatever your talents, gifts, and abilities are. Beginning to look at all the possible areas that they could serve.

This is the very practical and pragmatic approach to manifesting more. Now, once you come up with a list, you want to create a plan, so that you’re actually going to do these things. You’re going to live on purpose, not on accident. You’re not going to wake up and hope. You’re going to trade in your wishbone for a backbone, and you’re going to actually have a plan and put it on your schedule, and then do it whether you feel like it or not. This is what builds character. This is what builds self-esteem. You’re also going to have a practice, a daily practice. Remember, this is part of the core Emergence work, what I call the LIFT practice, Living In the Feeling Tone. If you haven’t listened to that podcast yet, please listen to it. You want to have a practice through meditation, prayer, affirmation, and just the activities you do in your day and the people you hang out with, and the things you consume in terms of media, etc.

You want to begin to design a way of life that activates a feeling tone as if this thing you want to manifest is already done. Visualization, vibration, radiation process, you get a free download of that at my site, DerekRydall.com in the free resources. I invite you to do that on a daily basis, and even more than once a day. You can use the LIFT practice to begin to refine and design your life and your relationships and your conversations so that you are eliminating things that bring your vibration down and put you in a state of lack, limitation, fear, doubt, and worry, which are not congruent with where you want to be. That’s tuning you into station K-LACK, instead of K-RICH. Then designing things into your life that do tune you into K-RICH, movies, music, TV, magazines, conversations, friends, environments that make you feel connected, abundant, successful, expanded, joyful, peaceful, grateful, etc. So that you’re building a way of life that begins to automatically lift you into the vibrational field where your dreams already are playing, that beat of abundance is broadcasting.

This is how you manifest more, more money, or more of anything. You understand the true nature of manifestation. It’s not making something happen that isn’t already there. It’s making that which is always happening tangible, visible, audible, manifest. You’re letting go of magical thinking, and you’re stepping into conscious action. You’re planning your life as if you’re doing all the work, then living in the context as if God is. You’re creating the 25 ways to manifest more. If 25 is hard, you do 30. If 25 is easy, you do 50. Then you’re developing the LIFT practice, so that on a daily basis through visualization, vibration, radiation, prayer, affirmation, and the design of your way of life, you’re creating an activation of the qualities of being that you’d be feeling if you were already living in the manifestation. So that you’re already there before it manifests, and then you begin to discover the true nature of freedom.

This is how you manifest more. Remember, that feeling tone, that sense of connection to the peace, the love, the joy, the gratitude, the inner sense of abundance, that is ultimately the real goal here. In all of your getting, get understanding. In all of your seeking, seek first the Kingdom of Heaven within, this Nirvana state, this state of peace, so that as you have this outer goal of manifesting more, which is fine, you have your real soul goal, your real evolutionary goal of in this moment being in peace, in joy, in gratitude, and for the next 30 minutes. Every 30 minutes or so you just check in again. Where am I? What’s my big success goal? How would I feel if I was living that? My goal now is just to be in that feeling tone, to be a state of peace.

As you do that, you build a subjective vibration. You attain the real goal of your soul, which is always a greater flowering of its own quality, its own nature. It doesn’t really care whether you have more money or more whatever. It only cares is more of it blossoming, and as that happens, that quality of consciousness clothes itself in form, as the more that you are now manifesting.

[The following is the full transcript of this episode of the Emergence, A Revolutionary Path for Radical Life Change, with Derek Rydall Podcast]

Welcome to this Quantum Prayer bonus, as we take a deep dive into the potential activator, and do some real inner work to activate our full potential. If you’re listening to this now, possibly you’ve listened to the training on the potential activator, and you’re facing some challenges, some problems, some crises. Whatever it is, just bring the challenge, the crises, the area of growth, to mind. Allow yourself to feel whatever it makes you feel. Allow yourself to feel it as strongly as it really is there. Allow yourself to become aware of all the things it connects to, all the past issues, memories, that it brings up for you, the emotions, the thoughts. I’m such a loser. I’m such a failure. It’s never going to work. I’m never going to make it. I’ll never be safe,and all the images and memories that arise that are connected to that. This is stimulating and activating the whole neural pathway around this core problem and its underlying root system.

Now just take a deep breath. You can either put your hands on your heart, or you can do a process called havening where you just rub your arms. Take your hands in from the shoulders down to your hands, just like you’re soothing a child. Let go of the images of the problem. Let go of the problem completely. As you’re doing that, allow in your mind’s eye to see images of love and of power and of possibility. Perhaps you visualize your ideal vision, or your ideal vision in this area, and you feel what it feels like as you let this prayer wash over you and through you.

As I simply throw myself wide open to this quantum field, this field of grace. Dropping down into this awareness of the allness and the fullness and the wholeness and the perfection of life itself. This one life. This one life. This one life that is all loving, all giving, all knowing, all powerful, immortal, eternal, indestructible and incorruptible. It’s infinite, so there’s nothing separate or other than it. This Divine life, God, love, truth, light. It’s not only in everything, but everything is in it. It is the only causative factor, and it’s causation is love, truth, peace, beauty, abundance, wholeness, perfection. Therefore, the only affect can be some product of love, peace, joy, beauty, wholeness, and perfection. It’s impossible logically, rationally, spiritually, and otherwise for there to exist anything in all of the Universe but an emanation of wholeness and perfection.

Anything appearing less than this is a misperception of the infinite perfection, a false concept that has become experience, but it has no power. It has no substance to form it. It has no law to maintain or sustain it. It has no cause to create it, because only God, only this infinite Intelligence is cause, and it can only create after its own perfection, its own wholeness, its own abundance, its own life and light and love, and that is what’s true about every being that is listening to this prayer now, all beings unique infinite individualized expressions of Divine perfection, of unbounded love and luminosity, wealth, health, abundance and fulfillment, bliss and ecstasy. Every being is a unique expression of this one life.

So I know that right where this individual is that is listening is all the power, all the presence, and all of the infinite potential of the Universe itself. It’s here. It’s now, and it’s uniquely patterned. It’s a unique individualized expression of all potential, of all power, unprecedented, unrepeatable. A unique expression of all love, all power, all joy. A unique expression of genius and brilliance and abundance. Yes. All of the good that has ever been or ever will be is right where this individual is, uniquely, uniquely. Therefore, they matter. They matter. Their life matters. What they have to offer is necessary. They are needed and necessary. They matter, and the whole Universe is for them and nothing is against them. All of life is conspiring to reveal their full potential, and whatever problems, crises, or challenges they face, they are facing them. It’s not so much what they’re facing, but what their problem is facing. What is their problem facing? It’s facing their infinite potential.

They’re no longer telling their little God about their big problems. They’re now telling their little problems about their big God. The God within their own being, the potential within their own being. They’re saying to their problems, I’m not afraid of you anymore. You’re just an opportunity. You’re just creating the condition for me to get stronger. Just like you go into a gym, and you look at the weight, and you don’t get scared of it, even though it’s going to tear your muscles. You go, I’m about to get stronger. I’m about to create more stamina, more strength, more capacity, more capability. That’s the meaning of this problem. There’s a larger life, a larger world, a larger self, seeking to emerge, and now you have the capacity, the consciousness, everything needed to embrace this challenge and to grow and to be stronger and to reveal more of your better self than ever before.

This is what is happening. This is the word spoken, the law that is activated, and everything is supporting it. Nothing is against it. Something magnificent is emerging. Something wonderful is happening. All thoughts, beliefs, concepts, habits, that no longer serve, that are no longer congruent with this larger life, with this next evolutionary leap, are dissolving and disintegrating, and whatever is needed to support it is emerging, integrating, activating. Now. With ease, with grace, with clarity, with dignity. It’s happening. It’s happening.

I give thanks for it. I let it be. And so it is. Amen.

Ask Derek: The Real Cause of  Debt and How to Eliminate It [Podcast]

Ask Derek: The Real Cause of Debt and How to Eliminate It [Podcast]

[vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]The real cause of debt and how to eliminate it

Debt is a big issue with a lot of people, and if you’ve studied my Awakened Wealth work you already know the answer here, and if you haven’t, you may be in for a surprise!

The real cause of debt is often not merely spending too much, but as I teach in the Awakened Wealth work and really the whole Emergence model, whatever’s missing is what you’re not giving.

Life doesn’t happen to you. It happens through you and as you. You’re a generative being, and whatever shows up in your life has to first come out of you in some way – mentally, emotionally, energetically. It has to come out of you, or it literally cannot show up in your life. This is principle.

Likewise, therefore whatever’s not showing up is what you’re not generating. So fundamentally speaking, debt is an expression of stagnation. It means the law of circulation is not really in operation.

Essentially, once you understand that all wealth is spiritual, invisible or energetic, and it’s all within you, then the only way to have more of it is to circulate more of it. The “seven gifts of giving” give you the framework for how to circulate it. They are: giving out, giving up, giving in, giving away, giving thanks, giving to yourself, and forgiving.

Lets talk about forgiving, for example. The gift forgiving means you’re for-giving, not for-getting, not for-taking. There’s no withholding in forgiving, but in unforgiveness it’s an energetic of withholding. It’s right there in the word, of course, but it’s right there also in the energetic.

When you think someone has done you wrong, or you think you’ve done someone else wrong, what’s the underlying message? “You owe me, or I owe you”, “You owe me an apology”,  “You owe me those years back”, “You owe me that money”, “You owe me that job”, etc. What do you have when you have a bunch of I owe yous? You have debt. It creates an energetic breakdown.

There’s no circulation happening in that area of your life. So for people that have debt they often have a story, if not many stories, of unforgiveness.

To support you in mastering this, listen to the in-depth podcast on the subject, where we break it down and put it into real-life practice TODAY. This will be a real game-changer.

Welcome to another episode of Ask Derek, where we dive deeply but quickly into some of the most common questions you’ve asked over the weeks, months and years. Some of the ones that are most chronic, most urgent, and when you understand them can ultimately have some of the greatest leverage in your own success and in your total life emergence.

Today we’re talking about the real cause of debt and how to eliminate it. This is, of course, a big issue with a lot of people, and if you’ve studied my Awakened Wealth work you already know the answer here, and if you haven’t, you may be in for a surprise, because the real cause of debt is often not merely spending or spending too much, but as I teach in Awakened Wealth work and really the whole Emergence model, whatever’s missing is what you’re not giving. Life doesn’t happen to you. It happens through you and as you. You’re a generative being, and whatever shows up in your life has to first come out of you in some way, mentally, emotionally, energetically. It has to come out of you, or it literally cannot show up in your life. This is principle.

Likewise, therefore whatever’s not showing up is what you’re not generating, and so fundamentally speaking debt is an expression of stagnation. It means the law of circulation is not really in operation. I won’t go into the full seven gifts that give you everything, which is the framework for Awakened Wealth, but essentially once you understand that all wealth is spiritual or invisible or energetic, and it’s all within you, and therefore the only way to have more of it is to circulate more of it. The seven gifts give you the framework for how to circulate it, and it’s giving out, giving up, giving in, giving away, giving thanks, giving to yourself, and forgiving. If you want to go deeper into that, of course, please check out the Awakened Wealth program and some of the free training we offer at DerekRydall.com.

We’ll talk just about forgiving. The gift forgiving it means you’re for giving, not for getting, not for taking. There’s no withholding in forgiving, but in unforgiveness it’s an energetic of withholding. It’s right there in the word, of course, but it’s right there also in the energetic. When you think someone has done youwrong, or you think you’ve done someone else wrong, what’s the underlying message? You owe me, or I owe you. Right? You owe me an apology. You owe me those years back. You owe me that money. You owe me that job, whatever. Right? So there’s you owe me, or I owe you. What do you have when you have a bunch of I owe yous? You have debt. It creates an energetic breakdown. There’s no circulation happening in that area of your life. So for people that have debt they often have a story, if not many stories, of unforgiveness. There are one or more areas where there’s no circulation.

Now again, the whole framework of the seven gifts is all about just maximizing circulation in your life. The way that the law of circulation works is that you cannot give what you don’t have. So you must first activate it within yourself and fill yourself with it. Kind of like the oxygen mask analogy in the airplane, where it falls down, and you need to put it on yourself first before you put it on anyone else. You’ve got to fill yourself up. So you cannot give what you don’t have. Secondly, you cannot keep what you don’t give. So now you have to circulate what you have. Thirdly, you cannot sustain what you don’t receive. You have to receive what’s been circulated. It’s one cycle. It’s like a full breath. You breathe in, fill yourself up. You breathe out, you circulate it. Then you breathe back in again. If you just try to breathe out, just give and give and give, you will die. If you just breathe in, try to hold, hold, hold, hoard, withhold, you will die. So you must breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. It’s a circulation. It’s one breath being circulated. When you’re born, you take a breath in, when you die you release that breath.

The same is true, the energy of your life, which is the substance of all form, must be continuously circulated or your life becomes a swamp, and what is a swamp? It’s a body of water that has no inlet or outlet. Now what do you call a body of water that only has an outlet? You call it a dry riverbed eventually, right? There’s nothing coming into it, so it just spills out. What do you call a body of water that’s only got an inlet, but no outlet? You call it a flood. Right? It becomes a flood. So you need an inlet and an outlet, and then what do you have? You have rivers, streams, oceans. You have a raging river. It’s flowing.

So unforgiveness is one of the strongest ways that we stagnate our circulation, and that stagnation of energy shows up as debt. The way to heal it, obviously, to get it circulating again, is to heal that. One of the ways is to look in that area where you are believing somebody else owes you something, and you’re not forgiving them, and find a way to start circulating towards them again. Find a way to anonymously start giving to them. You can start with praying and affirming and blessing them, and wanting the very best for them, and if it’s hard, you pray and affirm that you’re willing to be forgiving, you’re willing to be a blessing, and that you’re freeing them of their debt and releasing yourself of your debt and forgiving yourself.

You just start finding ways to circulate, and then there’s other people that have gone even further, and maybe you send them an anonymous gift. Maybe you give them some anonymous contribution. You also can certainly reopen the conversation and seek to heal it completely, which I highly advise. Understand, whenever you hold anybody in debt, unforgiveness, revenge, resentment, etc. you are hurting yourself. You know the old analogy, not forgiving somebody and thinking it’s hurting them is like drinking poison and thinking it’s going to kill somebody else or make them sick. Ultimately all of life is emergent. It’s all coming out of your consciousness. So anywhere in your life you’re withholding from someone you’re actually blocking the flow of life coming out of you, and ultimately therefore the flow of life coming to you. Do you see that? So you want to eventually come to a state where you are an unconditional, all conditional, place of love and life and light and generosity. That’s what the Biblical scripture means when it says, He shines his light upon the saint and the sinner, pours his rain upon the just and the unjust. God is no respecter of persons.It’s talking about a principle that the sun, the rain, all of nature pours itself unconditionally. The apple tree doesn’t judge. A saint and a sinner can pull an apple equally. Ultimately we want to come to that same place. What would happen if a tree withheld its apples based on its opinion or perception? Those apples would rot on the vine, and eventually the branches would rot from a lack of circulation, and the tree would no longer be able to produce apples. So when it shines and pour its apples, and the sun shines its light, that’s good for it. That’s what allows it to generate more and more, more harvest, more energy. When you forgive everyone of everything on every level, you are not in any way limiting yourself. You are opening yourself up to become an unlimited being of generation, of generative power. The result of that is not merely less debt, but much more abundance.

 

That’s the other thing I want to say about the release of debt. The focus on merely eliminating debt, in my opinion, is the wrong focus. You can certainly have it as part, but you want to be more focused on generating, generating abundance, becoming a generative being. Just create more, produce more value, more love, more light, more generosity. If you have clients, ask how can I produce more value for them? How can I produce more value in every area of my life? If that’s your focus, you will just expand and grow. You will completely outgrow your debt. Do you understand what I mean? You want to be focused on that, as I teach in Awakened Wealth. Don’t contract around constriction. Don’t adapt and become adapted to your constricted situation. If you’re focused on debt, you’re focused on a problem, and you begin to constrict around the vibration of the problem or the debt. If you want to expand in the face of contraction, you don’t want to merely ask how can I eliminate my debt? You want to ask, how can I generate so much abundance, so much opportunity, that the debt is like a blip on the radar? Do you feel the expansiveness of that energy? Don’t just merely try to create a budget and eliminate debt. Create a vision of so much prosperity and abundance and generosity and creativity and value added contribution that life can make any number of demands on you, and you are big enough to meet them.

I hope this has served you. I hope you’re feeling pumped up, inspired to start loving and forgiving and generating like you’ve never done before. This has been another episode of Ask Derek. Until next time, remember to live authentically, love unconditionally, and follow your destiny. Stay inspired.

Have a Backbone, Not a Wishbone [Podcast]

Have a Backbone, Not a Wishbone [Podcast]

[vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Have a Backbone, Not a Wishbone

Whether you’re on a spiritual path or not, it’s very easy to get into magical thinking. It’s easy to think life operates based on personality or emotion, or based on just being “good people”.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t do good. Doing good is one component of being in harmony with the principle of life, but it’s only one. If you’re doing good deeds, but emotionally you feel unworthy, or mentally you have beliefs and patterns of lack, you’re actually living out of alignment.

It’s important to understand this piece – it doesn’t matter how much you wish for or how nice of a person you are – that’s not enough. There are good people suffering everywhere, every day. You must begin to release that wishbone, release the magical thinking, and begin to have a backbone.

[bctt tweet=”A Spiritual Warrior has a heart of gold, but a soul of steel – so anchored in the truth that they’re unmoved by appearances.” username=”derekrydall”]

You can have an open heart, a heart as big as the world, the heart of God, but you need to have a soul that is strong, that has stamina, that is rooted in the principle of Truth. You want to begin to learn how to have a deeper understanding and embodiment of the principle, in order to stand stronger.

If you’re not experiencing abundance, for example, do not merely wish, pray or hope for abundance, but learn to understand and apprentice under the principle of abundance. Allow your conversations be unwavering in speaking it, your actions to become undaunted in walking it – regardless of conditions.

When you make knowing the truth, owning the truth, and embodying the truth your number one priority over your feelings, over your hopes, wishes and conditions, that’s having a backbone instead of a wishbone.

Remember, from the Emergence model, whatever you’re waiting for, you’re waiting with, and you’re weighing it down. So you must get on the ultimate wait loss program and let go of all the wait, because it’s already happening.

Jesus, one of the great master teachers, taught this principle, “When you pray, pray believing that you already have that you may receive.” That wasn’t a metaphysical trick to attract it. It was a mystical truth – that you already have it. Elsewhere it says in the Bible, “To he who has, more will be given, and it will be multiplied, but to he who has not, even that which he has will be taken away.” It’s talking about a state of consciousness – the state of having.

If any part of you is waiting for something to happen, you are creating a sense of lag time and separation that doesn’t exist in truth, but that now must become part of your experience. Your job as a spiritual warrior, with a backbone and not a wishbone, is to stand in the truth, the vibration and the mindset, and even the action that “I already am. I already have. It’s already done.”

Do not give yourself the luxury of putting your good in the future. You’re not waiting for your miracle. A miracle is an instant demonstration of what’s already true in reality and you can never experience it until you become fully present. This present moment is the only moment where all good exists. All good, all wealth, health, happiness, love, peace, joy, beauty, abundance, wisdom, genius –  all of it only exists now.

It doesn’t exist in the past, which is just a memory. It doesn’t exist in the future, which is just a fantasy. It doesn’t even exist in the temporal present, which is imagination. It exists in the eternal now, fully, completely. It cannot be improved upon, it cannot be diminished – you must come into vibrational alignment and into integrity with it.

The key is to understand is that whatever’s missing is what you’re not giving. If you want more to come into your life, you must let more life come out of you. If you want something different to come into your life, you must let something different come out of you. It’s all within you. Release all futurizing. Release all waiting. Release all magical thinking.

Take your stand in it, for it and as it, and then step by step engineer your mind, emotions, actions and environment to be in integrity with it. Then watch as you start to feel and live in the finished result even before it manifests, and discover what it really means to be free.

This is what it means to have a backbone and not a wishbone, to have a heart of gold and a soul of steel. I invite you to this journey. I invite you to take one thing you’re trying to create in your life and put it through this process.

Let everybody and everything outside of you off the hook. Take full responsibility and take a stand for it today!

To support you in mastering this, listen to the in-depth podcast on the subject, where we break it down and put it into real-life practice TODAY. This will be a real game-changer.

To Your Emergence!

Stay inspired!

[The following is the full transcript of this episode of the Emergence, A Revolutionary Path for Radical Life Change, with Derek Rydall Podcast]

Welcome to another episode of Emergence. This is Derek Rydall, your guide on the side, instead of the sage on the stage, and I’m just here to support you in this journey of emergence, which is about understanding the fundamental principles to living and growing in integrity with your emerging soul, in integrity with the evolutionary impulse of the Universe, and really understanding that it’s principle, not personal. It’s not about being a good person or a bad person. It’s not a moral choice. To live a successful life is not a moral choice, it is a principled one, and this is what the ancient scripture means when it says, God is no respecter of persons. He shines his light on the just and unjust, pours his rain on the saint and sinner.It’s talking about that the Universe, that life isn’t personal; it’s principle. It’s not luck, it’s law. Life doesn’t just happen, it happens just. This is such an important distinction to have, because so often we are frustrated and confused why good things are happening to bad people, and bad things are happening to good people, namely us, and we don’t understand, because we don’t understand that life is principle. Life is not airy-fairy and wishy washy, and there is no such Universal presence or power that has good days and bad days, and you have to convince to be good. All of that is a false understanding, a human projection, and the Emergence path is understanding that there is a perfect spiritual Universe, a Universe of wholeness and harmony, order and abundance. It’s everywhere present, expressing in its fullness and perfection. It’s right where you are expressing in its fullness and perfection. Nothing is lacking. Nothing is missing. Nothing is broken. Nothing is wrong. It’s already complete. It’s already perfect.

This is such an important distinction to have, because so often we are frustrated and confused why good things are happening to bad people, and bad things are happening to good people, namely us, and we don’t understand, because we don’t understand that life is principle. Life is not airy-fairy and wishy washy, and there is no such Universal presence or power that has good days and bad days, and you have to convince to be good. All of that is a false understanding, a human projection, and the Emergence path is understanding that there is a perfect spiritual Universe, a Universe of wholeness and harmony, order and abundance. It’s everywhere present, expressing in its fullness and perfection. It’s right where you are expressing in its fullness and perfection. Nothing is lacking. Nothing is missing. Nothing is broken. Nothing is wrong. It’s already complete. It’s already perfect.

Just as 2+2 already equals 4, nobody made it that way. It’s always been so, and always will. Electricity is everywhere. Nobody made it that way. It’s what it is, but it doesn’t do you any good if you don’t understand the principles of electricity, and you don’t understand how to construct a transmitter or a transponder, whatever the word is, in order to access and harness the energy. It does no good that 2+2=4, if you’ve incorrectly learned that it equals 3 and wonder why you go around in life being short changed. You see what I mean? There is an order and a harmony and a perfection that already is, that cannot be improved upon. Emergence is the path of understand this, understanding these principles, and learning how to bring your entire life and being into integrity with it, and when you do that, this perfection that is everywhere becomes manifest where you are. Now, in this particular episode we’re talking about have a backbone, not a wishbone, and this is very much connected to this. It’s fun, and it’s catchy, but I really want you to get this. Whether you’re on a spiritual path or not, and I assume you’re on some kind of path if you’re listening to this, it’s very easy to get into magical thinking. Like I said, even if you’re not, it’s very easy just humanly to think life operates based on personality or emotion or based on just good people. So you have really good people who have really good hopes and expectations that others are going to be good, and there’s a naiveté that there’s just kind of a hopefulness that life’s going to work out, and a hopefulness that if I do good stuff, good things are going to happen.

Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t do good. Doing good is one component of being in harmony with the principle of life, but it’s only one. If you’re doing good deeds, but emotionally you feel unworthy, or mentally you have beliefs and patterns of lack, you’re cancelling out a lot of the good of those good deeds. If you have a very powerful mindset of abundance and an emotionality vibrationally of abundance, but your deeds are not always in integrity with that, it might still work out for you. It’s very important to understand this piece, that it doesn’t matter how much you wish for or how nice you are, or how much of a good person you are. That’s not enough. There are good people suffering everywhere every day. So you must begin to release that wishbone, release the magical thinking, and begin to have a backbone. This is part of my larger series, Heart of Gold, Soul of Steel, which is that you can have an open heart, a heart as big as the world, the heart of God, but you need to have a soul that is iron, that is strong, that has stamina, that is rooted in truth principle. You need to begin to understand

This is part of my larger series, Heart of Gold, Soul of Steel, which is that you can have an open heart, a heart as big as the world, the heart of God, but you need to have a soul that is iron, that is strong, that has stamina, that is rooted in truth principle. You need to begin to understand principle, and when things aren’t working, you don’t take it personally. You look at, let me have a deeper understanding of the principle. Let me have a deeper embodiment of the principle. Let me get stronger in the principle. If I’m not experiencing abundance, let me not merely wish and pray and hope for abundance, but let me understand and apprentice under the principle of abundance, and let me know the truth of it, until my mind and my heart is so rock solid in knowing it, my conversation is so unwavering in speaking it, my actions become so undaunted in walking it, regardless of conditions. My back is straight. My spine is strong, because I’m anchored in the truth. I’m committed to the truth, and I do not let my emotions and conditions determine what I think and feel and do. That’s having a backbone, instead of a wishbone. Making knowing the truth, owning the truth, embodying the truth, your number one priority over your feelings, over your hopes and wishes and conditions. That’s having a backbone instead of a wishbone.

Sometimes this is subtle, because there’s certain vocabulary that enters into our dialogue, the way we talk about things, and we might be talking about I’m doing all this prayer work; I’m doing my affirmations, visualizations, my inner work, etc. and I’m just waiting for my miracle. Remember, from the Emergence model, whatever you’re waiting for, you’re waiting with, and you’re weighing it down. So you must get on the ultimate wait loss program and let go of all the wait, because it’s already happening. Jesus taught, one of the great master teachers taught, and this is principle, not religion, When you pray, pray believing that you already have that you may receive. That wasn’t a metaphysical trick to attract it. It was a mystical truth that you have it. Elsewhere it says in the Bible, To he who has, more will be given, and it will be multiplied, but to he who has not, even that which he has will be taken away.It’s talking about a state of have consciousness. It’s a state of having. Jesus didn’t say, I was the way, or I’m going to be the way and the truth. He said, I am. By the way, he wasn’t talking about the physical man. The I am is the spiritual individual, that is the archetype of God as individual, whether it’s called the Christ or the Buddha. It is the I am principle. That’s why when Moses was talking to the burning bush the burning bush said, Tell them I am that I am sent you. It didn’t say, tell them I will be sent you, or I was sent you. It’s I am. I am. I have. It’s already done. It’s a state of being which is in integrity with the truth, which is that it is already here. It is already done.

If any part of you is waiting for something to happen, you are creating a sense of lag time and separation that doesn’t exist in truth, but now must become part of your experience, and you may be waiting forever. That doesn’t mean that there may not sometimes be a gestation period in time and space where the seed that’s been planted and cultivated takes time to create roots and eventually to break through the surface and bear fruits, but your job as a spiritual warrior with a heart of gold and a soul of steel, with a backbone and not a wishbone, is to stand pat in the truth and the vibration and the mindset, and even the action that I already am. I already have. It’s already done.

Do not give yourself the luxury of putting your good in the future. You’re not waiting for your miracle. A miracle is an instant demonstration of what’s already true in reality. You can never experience it until you become fully present, because in this present moment is the only moment where all good exists. All good, all wealth, health, happiness, love, peace, joy, beauty, abundance, wisdom, genius, all of it only exists now. It doesn’t exist then. It doesn’t exist in the past, which is just a memory. It doesn’t exist in the future, which is just a fantasy. It doesn’t even exist in the temporal present, which is imagination. It exists in the eternal now, fully, completely. Cannot be improved upon. Cannot be diminished, but we must come into vibrational alignment with it. We must come into integrity with it. We cannot have a house that is divided, serving two masters. We have to serve one and only, and that is the master of now, the master of is, the master of I am, I have, it is done. A backbone, not a wishbone.

We’re not waiting for any miracle. One of the other things that connotes, when we think about that, is we actually have a projection that there’s some kind of force or power out there in the Universe that’s eventually going to hear our prayer or catch up to us, or give us something good. We’ve incorrectly turned God into Santa Clause. There is no such God, and I’m sorry to break it, there is no such Santa either. Hope no children are listening. All the power, all the resource, all the Source, everything is within you. You are the one you’ve been waiting for. You are your own salvation. Not you, the personality construct, but You, the I am of your being. Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven was within you. If we had only gotten just that part right with the Christian religion, we’d be a lot further along. Buddha said the same thing. He just called it Nirvana.

Whatever you want to call it, the key is to understand it’s within you and call it forth from you, and to remember whatever’s missing is what you’re not giving. If you want more to come into your life, you must let more life come out of you. If you want something different to come into your life, you must let something different come out of you. It’s all within you. Release all futurizing. Release all waiting. Release all magical thinking. It’s all here now, happening in you, as you, everywhere present. Own it. Claim it. Take your stand in it and for it and as it, and then step by step engineer your mind and emotions and actions and environment to be in integrity with it, and watch as you start to feel and live in the finished result even before it manifests, and discover what it really means to be free. Then from that place of freedom, watch as the new world begins to manifest, but as it does, you’re already there. You’re already home. You’re already whole, and now you’re free to play in it, but never get lost to it. This is what it means to have a backbone and not a wishbone, to have a heart of gold and a soul of steel. I invite you to this journey. I invite you to take one thing you’re trying to create in your life and put it through this process, this test. Release all waiting, all magical thinking, all futurizing, all projecting. Let everybody and everything outside of you off the hook. Take full responsibility and take a stand for it today.

I hope this has served you and supported you. Please post on Facebook what you’re learning, what you’re getting, your progress. Please register for iTunes podcast and leave a review, if you haven’t already, so that more people can receive these teachings, and if you believe they’re helpful and inspiring, please share them with a friend or a loved one, a colleague, or a client. The more you share, the more you activate the Law of Circulation, and the more you multiply the good in your own life. I also invite you to teach this to someone as soon as possible, because what you teach, you own. Finally, I invite you to take at least one action today, if possible, but as soon as possible to apply what you’re learning. When you teach it and apply it, you truly embody it.

 

From Resources to Resourcefulness [Podcast]

From Resources to Resourcefulness [Podcast]

As you’ve been discovering, the Source of all creation is within you. The Source of all life, law and power is in consciousness – and consciousness is in you. You are a unique expression of Divine consciousness.

You also have come to understand that because you are one with it, like the light is one with the sun, you’re not on your way to more of anything. Just like the sunbeam is not on its way to the sun, it is an emanation of light. It’s coming from the sun. It’s the way the sun expresses itself, and you are the way God expresses; the way life expresses.

What does this have to do with going from resources to resourcefulness?

Regardless of how much or little is appearing, in terms of outer resources around money or abundance, talents, abilities, relationships, or opportunities, the real key to having abundance is your resourcefulness. Your capacity to tap into this source of infinite supply and to be a channel and an instrument of that, determines how much resources you have. Your resourcefulness ultimately determines your level of resources.

[bctt tweet=”There is never a lack of resources, only a lack of resourcefulness — and you can always be more resourceful, so you are never lacking anything! ” username=”derekrydall”]

We have come to many points in history where we believed we were going to run out of valuable resources. For example, there was a time when the wild mustang horse was going seemingly extinct, and there were not nearly enough to meet the needs of the population. It was the end of times as we knew it, because this was our core mode of transportation and of getting around. Then somebody came along named Henry Ford, and created a car called the Mustang.

Of course, that wasn’t the first car he created, but he basically developed the combustion engine, that had the equivalent of all these horses under the hood.

When that threshold was hit, where there appeared to be a lack of resources, we became innovative. Something was created that allowed us to get even more power with even less resource.

In your own personal life the same metaphor applies. As you bump into those places and moments in your own timeline where you feel like you’re out of options or you’re out of resources, and the only way you could grow your life is to have more physical resources, it very well may be a reimagining of your existing resources that’s required.

You’ve probably heard the analogy: Everybody has the same amount of time… It’s not that you need to have more time, it’s how can you take the time you have and use it more effectively?

It’s not about just having more space. It’s how can you take the space you have and use it more powerfully and effectively?

It’s not about just having more stuff. In fact, some of the greatest entrepreneurial and creative efforts have been because they had a seeming restriction of resources, time, money, or space, and as a result they had to dig deeper. They had to become more innovative and creative. They had reimagine, and out of that came a whole new way of doing something, and maybe even a whole new way of life for many others as a result.

You’re being asked to think differently. First and foremost, from a spiritual standpoint, to recognize that you want to be connected to the Source of all life, which is within you, because that’s where everything unfolds.

All the innovations, ideas, and breakthroughs come from somebody who has, on some level, tapped in beyond mere human thinkingness, beyond merely the human imagination, to what I call emergination, which is the imagination of the soul.

It is not bound by precedent. It’s not bound by conditions or circumstances. The imagination of the soul doesn’t even look at the physical conditions to determine what’s possible. It can create from seemingly nothing, and when you combine that with the imagination of the mind, where you can look at the existing resources, but start to think outside of the box, even create a whole new kind of box, or create something that doesn’t even require a box, you’ve got the potential for real breakthroughs and magic.

To support you in mastering this, listen to the in-depth podcast on the subject, where we break it down and put it into real-life practice TODAY. This will be a real game-changer.

To Your Emergence!

[The following is the full transcript of this episode of the Emergence, A Revolutionary Path for Radical Life Change, with Derek Rydall Podcast]

Welcome to Emergence. This is Derek Ryall, founder of the Law of Emergence, and author of the bestselling book Emergence. I just want to welcome you on this journey of never ending, ever expanding, unfoldment of your infinite potential. Life is emergent. Life doesn’t happen to us. It happens through us and as us, and there’s always more to be revealed, and this is a particularly important piece of the Emergence picture to talk about today, as we are on the topic of going from resources to resourcefulness. There’s never a lack of resources, on one hand, but there can be a lack of resourcefulness. If you look at the word resourceful, it means to be full of Source again. To be resourced means to be reconnected to the Source, to be filled up again by the Source.

As we’ve been discovering, the Source of all creation is within us. It’s not outside of us. The Source of all life and law and power is in consciousness, and consciousness is in us. We are unique expressions of Divine consciousness. We are unique centers in the one mind of the Universe, or the one mind of God, whatever concept or metaphor you want to use. We are not separate from it, but we are the ways it is expressing. We also have come to understand that because we are one with it, like the light is one with the sun, we’re not on our way to more of anything. We’re not on our way to more life, more love, more light, more abundance, more anything. We are coming from the fount of all life. We are coming from abundance, from wholeness, from life, from love, from power. Just like the sunbeam is not on its way to the sun. It’s not on its way to light. It is an emanation of light. It’s coming from the sun. It is the way the sun represents and individualizes itself. It’s the way the sun expresses itself, and we are the way God expresses, the way life expresses.

So what does this have to do with going from resources to resourcefulness? It’s important to understand that regardless of what appears at the level of resources, in terms of outer amounts of things, our resources around money or abundance, our resources around talents and abilities, our resources around people and friendships and relationships and opportunities and raw materials of life and the building materials of life. Regardless of how much there appears to be or how little there appears to be, the real key to having abundance is our resourcefulness, meaning our capacity to tap in to this source of infinite supply, of infinite life and intelligence and power and abundance that never runs out, that never runs dry. Our capacity to be tapped into that, to be a fountain of that, to be a channel and an instrument of that, determines how much resources we have. So it is our resourcefulness that ultimately determines our level of resource.

It’s important to note also, on some practical levels, that actually, physically, materially, on the planet even what we know of there is more than enough to meet all of our needs abundantly, more than enough wealth, more than enough materiality, more than enough of everything. Even where there appears to be not enough, let’s say there may appear to be a lack or shortage of clean drinking water, there’s certainly not a lack of water. Our planet is, a vast majority of it, is oceans, and so what there’s a lack of is our capacity or willingness to innovate and create the technology to turn a great degree of that ocean water into clean drinking water, which we absolutely could do. There’s on one hand more than enough resources to go around, and even where there appears to not be, there is the raw materials that could become those suitable elements for life and abundance and thriving available to us.

Then there’s the other level, which is all of the resources we haven’t even discovered yet. Again, all of the levels of innovation in technology that would allow us to get so much more out of what we do have. For example, there’s no lack of energy. Energy is infinite. Energy is everywhere. There’s not any less energy now than there was at the time of Buddha, and there’s also not any more energy. We’ve gotten better at accessing energy, and we’ve largely been an oil economy, so that we’ve been using what could feel like nonrenewable resources, but, in fact, as we are innovating we can access the solar power, wind power, thermal power, all other forms. So again, it’s not about the resource. It’s about the resourcefulness. It’s about our innovativeness, our creativity, our willingness to move out of comfort and convenience and be willing to stretch and grow and become more innovative.

It’s also important to know that we have come to many points in history where we believed we were going to run out. Where we believed we were going to run out of oil, or where we believed we were going to run out of some other kind of valuable resource. For example, there was a time when the wild mustang horse was going seemingly extinct, or at least there just was fewer and fewer, and not nearly enough to meet the needs of the population of the need for horse drawn buggies and riding horses, when that was the main mode of transportation. There was at one point a headline in the front of major newspapers saying that the wild mustang was going extinct and that we were on the verge of some kind of major collapse. It was the end of times as we knew it, because this was our core mode of transportation and of getting around. Then somebody came along named Henry Ford, and created the Mustang, the car. Of course, that wasn’t the first car he created, but he basically developed the combustion engine, or developed the automobile, and now they put the horses under the hood. So we’re driving around with not just one or two or five horses, but 50, 60, 100, 200 horsepower, whatever. I don’t really know cars that well, but a lot of horsepower. So we have the equivalent of all these horses, and we don’t have to raise a bunch of horses and feed a bunch of horses. It’s okay whether we have a lot of horses or don’t, because when we hit that threshold where there appeared to be a lack of resources, we became innovative. We created something that allowed us to get even more power with even less resource.

There’s an example of the aphid, I believe it is. It’s this little bug that’s crawling around on the branches of a bush, and at a certain point they’re all over the bush, and they’re eating the leaves, and they’re about to run out of leaves. Which means they’re about to run out of food. Which means they’re on the verge of dying, of the collapse of their culture, of their society as aphids. Just before they completely run out, they grow wings. An evolutionary trigger is hit. They grow wings, and they can fly away now and fly to other sources. From their myopic perspective, their world is simply this bush and these leaves. They can’t really get anywhere else. It’s beyond the scope of their paradigm to imagine that there are virtually unlimited bushes and leaves and food sources. This is all they know, until they’re almost about to run out of their resources, and suddenly their biology and evolution kicks in and makes them more resourceful. They grow wings, and they’re now able to fly to virtually unlimited amounts of food sources.

This same evolutionary process that’s happened continuously in our society, continuously in the evolution of humanity, where we hit a point where we feel like we’re all out, where we’ve reached the end of the line. We have no more resources, and then, bam, innovation happens. Evolution kicks in. We develop something biologically, mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, creatively, physically. We discover fire. We invent the wheel. We invent the printing press. We invent Xerox copies so we don’t have to handwrite everything and print set everything. Suddenly we can distribute more literature and more information, which causes an explosion in knowledge and education and innovation. Then we develop the internet, and suddenly people can share insights and support and opportunity.

Suddenly billion dollar businesses are created virtually overnight. It took Marriott, or Hilton, 100 years to develop and have whatever number of rooms they have. Let’s say 100,000 or 80,000 rooms around the world. 100 years to develop that structure and that platform. It took Air BnB like a couple years to develop 100,000 rooms around the planet and to have a market share and a company value worth more than Hilton. Not in 100 years, but in a couple or a few. It took how many years to develop the whole taxi system and all the infrastructure that seems to be required, all the resources that seem to be required. So the idea would be to grow and expand we would have to double, triple, quadruple our resources. Then somebody came along and created Uber, and without having to create any new resources they reinvented the existing resources, people and their own cars, and made it a business bigger than the taxi industry. Not in a matter of decades and decades, but in a matter of a few years.

I really want you to grasp the significance of this. Not because you want to go out and invent the next Air BnB or the next Uber or the next internet level technology. Although I want you to understand that that same capacity to do what used to take 100 years in a matter of a couple years exists in virtually every area of our life. I also want you to see, and I want you to get, that it wasn’t the idea of linearity and material thinking that the only way to increase our resources is to have more physical stuff. We need to build more cars and build more hotel chains. No. They didn’t have to build a single new hotel, Air BnB. They literally had an innovative concept using the latest technology and internet that utilized all of these existing homes and rooms around the world. Not only was it a massive innovation where they were becoming more resourceful, they were tapped into an intelligence, a Divine idea. They did not increase the resources; they increased their resourcefulness, were able to reutilize existing resources, and create a massive opportunity and a massive movement. Also, all those people who had extra rooms and extra real estate suddenly was transformed into tremendous value. That’s what an entrepreneur does, they’re transformers. They take resources at one level and transform them to a whole new level of value and of usage. They took existing homes and rooms and turned it into a business that’s worth billions, and also put billions into the pockets of those people that had those existing resources. You see what I mean?

There’s so many ways we can unpack this, but the key I want you to understand is in your own personal life the same metaphor applies, as you bump into those places and those moments in your own timeline where you feel like you’re out of options, you’re out of resources, and the only way you could grow your life is to have more physical resources. I need to have more physical time, more physical space, more physical money, more physical people, whatever the thing is where you think it needs some kind of multiplication of physical resources. In fact, it very well might be a reimagining of your existing resources. You know the old analogy. Everybody has the same amount of time. It’s not that you have to have more time. It’s how can you take the time you have and use it more effectively? It’s not about just having more space. It’s how can you take the space you have and use it more powerfully and effectively? How can you think of it in different dimensions? It’s not about just having more stuff. In fact, some of the greatest entrepreneurial and creative efforts have been because they had a seeming restriction of resources, time, money, space, and as a result they had to dig deeper. They had to become more innovative and creative. They had reimagine, and out of that came a whole new way of doing something, and maybe even a whole new way of life for many, many more to come.

It’s in our limitation that we actually become more resourceful. It’s during a time of recession that we develop resourcefulness. It’s during a time of constriction that we are called to expand. We’ve been taught to adapt, and that’s what I call a hypnotic wealth spell, adapt to your circumstances. What that usually means is shrink to fit it. No. When there’s constriction, the Awakened Wealth principle is to expand in the face of contraction. Expand your thinking. Expand the sense of possibility. Expand your channel. Become more open, more available, more hopeful, more creative, more innovative, and ultimately, more resourceful, and on the other side of that seeming contraction, you will develop something new, innovative, more that will allow for a greater use of existing resources, which will equal more resources, or a greater expression of more resources.

We’re being asked to think differently. First and foremost, from a spiritual standpoint, to recognize that we want to be connected to the Source of all life, which is within us, Divine consciousness within us, Divine intelligence within us, because that’s where everything unfolds. All the innovations, all the ideas, all the breakthroughs come from somebody who has on some level tapped in beyond mere human thinkingness, beyond merely the human imagination, to what I call emergination, which is the imagination of the soul. Which is not bound by precedent. It’s not bound by conditions and circumstances. The imagination of the soul doesn’t even look at the physical conditions to determine what’s possible. It can create from seeming nothing, and when you combine that with the imagination of the mind, where you can look at the existing resources, but start to think outside of the box, and even create a whole new kind of box, or create something that doesn’t even require a box, now you’ve got the potential for real breakthroughs, real magic. Evolution expressing through human imagination and innovation.

So there’s different ways to look at this, but the key to really get here is no matter what seemingly lack of resources you’re facing, a lack of time, a lack of space, a lack of money, a lack of opportunity, a lack of relationship, a lack of health, a lack of wealth, whatever it might appear to be, economic constriction, governmental limitation, cultural, family limitation, constriction, restriction. You want to begin to train yourself to not look at what’s in your bank account, what’s in your body, what’s in the body of your affairs, to let that determine what’s true and what’s possible. All that tells you is what has come before, what thinking has come before. It doesn’t tell you what’s true and what’s possible. What’s true and what’s possible is infinite and inexhaustible, and so when you bump into those areas where there appears to be a lack, that is like the aphids on the branches where they’re running out of resources. There’s some evolutionary leap that’s trying to happen through you, some larger paradigm, some larger perception.

Remember, we’re not here to save the world. All the world is is a collection of agreements. We don’t want to save that. We’re here to serve the emerging possibility, the emerging pattern, the emerging potential. There’s always more trying to emerge, always more knocking at the door, always more. Why?Because life is infinite, and all of the expressions of life are infinite. Your mind, your body, yourself, the idea of family, home, business, work, community, whatever. These are infinite ideas. Meaning they can never be contained in time and space. They can never be contained in a finite experience or expression. The minute it becomes form, it’s finite. Form can never fully encapsulate or contain infinity or eternity.It’s always unfolding. This is the meaning of the Bible passage, From glory to greater glory, world without end.

Now, again, for those of you that are new to this, when I talk about the Bible this is not Christian teaching, per say. Jesus wasn’t a Christian. Actually, he was a Jew, and none of his disciples were Christians. They were Jews. This is not a Christian teaching. It’s not even a Jewish teaching. It’s truth teaching, and when you understand truth teaching you see that, whether it was Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tsu, Quan Yin, etc. they’re all fundamentally teaching very similar things, just in their own way based on their own culture. I just particularly understand and relate to the way it’s spoken and taught in the Bible, and also somewhat in Buddhism, so I use those references a lot. I see it is a truth teaching, not as a fundamentalist religious dogmatic restrictive thing. Just as a side note for those of you that might be new to this.

It says in the Bible, Behold, I make all things new, and All the years the locusts have eaten shall be restored unto you, and The manna falls fresh from Heaven every day. All of these are sayings that are pointing to a principle. How can all the years the locusts have eaten be restored unto you? Why? Because who you are and whatever it is is seeking to unfold in your life, its nature is infinite and inexhaustible. Even if it gets corrupted and diminished and destroyed by the ravages of time, space, limited belief, experience, and all that, there’s always more. There’s always the next level seeking to unfold. The potential is always greater than the apparent problem. The problem is, in fact, creating the conditions for an evolutionary leap. It’s like going to the workout room, the gym, and going into resistance training. It tears your muscles, and it breaks you down temporarily, so that it kicks in a trigger mechanism that causes you to develop even stronger muscles. Everything is conspiring to reveal more and more and more forever. More life, more love, more peace, more joy, more health, more wealth, more abundance, more generosity, more creativity, more mastery, more masterpieces, more of all that makes life rich and wonderful and beautiful and good.

This is all that’s really going on, and it’s going on right where you are, and it’s going on everywhere. This one impulse of never ending, ever expanding good. This one infinite idea or pattern of infinite perfection, unfolding and unfurling forever. You are a unique center in that. Your life is a unique ray of that, a unique expression of that or branch of that. There’s always more trying to unfold, but we have to shift our awareness from merely looking to resources to determine what’s possible and what’s really here, because the appearance is a liar. The appearance is just showing you a relative projection of the infinite perfection. The appearance is an old thought, an old perception. It doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy the good appearances and learn from the seeming bad ones, but you don’t let them determine what’s real and what’s possible. You tap back into the Source of all creation, into your imagination and your emergination. You become resourceful, full of Source again. Tapped into Source again. Then you become this fountain of never ending, ever expanding wisdom, insight, creativity, innovation, which shows up as new opportunity, greater and greater abundance of resources, or complete reimagining of existing resources, allowing you to get more and more out of less and less, and ultimately more and more out of seemingly nothing. That’s becoming truly resourceful.

Those valley experiences when you are in the Valley of Despair, you are developing your mountain top consciousness. When you’re in a recession, you’re there to develop resourcefulness. When you bump into what appears to be lack, you’re being called to dig deeper. When there’s a drought, you’re being called to dig deeper to touch that wellspring that runs beneath the surface, so that you can drink from that silent stream that the world can’t give you, and the world can’t take away. Then your tree can grow tall, your branches wide, your roots deep, and your fruits sweet, regardless of the outer conditions, because you’re not getting your resources from the world of appearance. You’re getting them directly from Source itself.

So how do you practice this? The first thing is you want to begin to recognize and notice where you are looking to outer resources or the lack thereof and buying into and believing that’s all you’ve got, and that that’s telling you the truth. Instead you have to stop, disengage from that belief and any reactive patterns that you might try to manipulate or withdraw from that experience, and instead turn within and ask, what is the larger idea seeking to emerge here? What is the larger possibility, the better, more efficient, more effective vision that’s trying to emerge by means of this particular experience? You want to remember that, just like the aphids running out of leaves, they were on the verge of sprouting wings. Just like all the wild mustangs going extinct, we were on the verge of creating the automobile and being able to drive and move much further much faster.

It’s not just that things remain the same when the new level of resourcefulness shows up, but it’s always an evolutionary leap that allows us not just to improve in that one area, but it allows us truly to expand the possibilities in all areas. When the automobile was created it didn’t just solve the problem of a lack of horses. I really want you to get that distinction too. That’s why we’ve got to be more than problem solvers. We have to be vision holders, because it didn’t just solve the problem of horses; it expanded the realm of possibility far beyond that. It allowed people to start creating suburbs and living in suburbs and going and working in the city, creating whole different level of communities, and then branching out. More opportunity and more land was viable, and then whole new housing communities, which again created a whole new level of job and work and abundance and opportunity, and on and on and on. The development of the automobile didn’t just solve the problem of a lack of horses.

Likewise, the development of the wheel, when we didn’t have that, didn’t just solve the lack of having to move around on horseback or on whatever. The development of fire didn’t just merely solve the problem of being cold or not being able to cook the food so that it would digest better, etc. It actually led to so many developments when we could burn and cook food. It actually changed our biology. It allowed us to be stronger, to get more value out of the food, to become more diverse, to be able to travel more. Then ultimately those insights around fire became all kinds of things. It allowed people to use fire to burn down certain things, fight off animals, get food quicker and more easily by burning down certain fields and then gathering up the animals that had been killed by that fire, and then eating them. It expanded all kinds of resources. The development of the printing press didn’t just save all the time and energy of having people to copy books by hand. It allowed for the development, the dissemination of information, education, inspiration far and wide, and created a whole industry of literature and literacy, and then all the ways that that information now was able to spread. It’s, of course, considered one of the greatest innovations and evolutionary inventions of our time.

The same is true for your life. That problem you’re facing and the innovation and the deeper resourcefulness it’s calling from you isn’t just about solving that problem. It’s about living in a larger realm of possibility that can impact virtually every area of your life and beyond your life, and beyond what you can imagine. I invite you to embrace this. Identify those areas where you’re merely leaning on resources, or bemoaning the seeming lack of resources, whether it’s time, space, money, talent, opportunity, and instead ask, what’s the larger idea trying to emerge here? What’s the larger possibility? Who do I have to be to step into that? What do I have to release or embrace to become that in consciousness? You can also look around at all of your life and say, what resources do I have, instead of what don’t I have? What do I have, and how can I use what I have in an even more powerful, resourceful, creative way, to have more, do more, create more, and contribute more?

Suddenly that little time you do have you can utilize it for better and better purposes. That little space you do have you can utilize it for bigger and better purposes. The little bit of talent you do seem to have, when you start using it it multiplies. It expands. If all you can do is start a little lemonade stand, pretty soon you make a little bit of money, and you can start a second lemonade stand. Then you learn enough that you can hire some of the neighborhood kids. I used to tell my kids, start a lemonade stand if you want to be an entrepreneur, you want to have a lot of money or whatever. Start where you are. There’s this one story of this kid that did that, and pretty soon created like a chain of lemonade stands around the neighborhood, got the other kids to participate, took a percentage of the profit. Starting from one little lemonade stand, one little can of lemonade concentrate, a few piece of plywood and some construction paper, and making a few pennies, a few dimes, a few nickels, and eventually making dollars, tens of dollars, hundreds of dollars. From asking, what resources do I have, and how can I put them to use in a more resourceful, innovative, creative way?

If you couple that with, what is the larger vision trying to emerge as me by means of this? What is the larger possibility? Who do I have to become to step into it? What do I have to let go of or embrace to become it? When you combine those two things, that’s tapping into the emergination, the soul’s imagination, and the other question of what do I have, and how can I use it more creatively and resourcefully is tapping into the human imagination. You work with everything that exists in form already, and you open up to everything that is not yet in form, but is the source of all creation. You combine emergination and imagination, and you get unlimited potential. You get true resourcefulness, to be full of Source again.

I hope this has served you. I hope you’ll take an action today and put this into practice, and whenever you find yourself leaning on an outer resource or bemoaning the lack of a resource you’ll stop, and you’ll reconnect to the Source, instead of leaning on resource.
