Welcome. Derek Rydall here, founder of the Law of Emergence and author of the bestselling books Emergence and The Abundance Project. I’m really excited to talk today about abundance. It’s one of my favorite topics, and a very specific principle called the Law of Circulation. There’s so much I can say here. I can talk for hours. Hopefully, I’ll condense it briefly here. Basically, remember from the core of Emergence, everything is within you. You came here not as an empty shell, but with everything.

Like every other seed on the planet, you brought it all with you, and there’s something in you to being to let out. You’re not on your way to something. You’re not on your way back to Heaven or home or wholeness or abundance. You’re coming from it. Just like a sunbeam is coming from the sun. It’s not on its way to the sun. A branch is coming from the tree. It’s not on its way to the tree. A wave is coming from the ocean. So, you’re coming from abundance. You’re coming from wholeness. So, whatever is missing is what you’re not giving. As I’ve said before, whatever you’re waiting for you’re waiting with, and you’re weighing it down.

The Law of Circulation says that you cannot give what you don’t have. You’ve got to give it to yourself first. Then you cannot keep what you don’t give away. You have to circulate it. Then finally, you cannot sustain what you don’t receive. It’s like a complete breath. In breath, out breath. Receive the air back in again. A lot of people are going around just breathing out all the time. You can fake it for a while, but try doing it with breathing. You’ll be dead in a few minutes or 20 minutes or whatever. A lot of people are just walking around breathing in, breathing in, breathing in, trying to get, get, get. Again, it doesn’t work. It’s a broken circuit. Finally, some people might breathe in and breathe out, but then they’re not willing to receive. Again, it’s a broken circuit.

So, the Law of Circulation shows us that life is a circuit. Every area of life has a circuit. Wherever there’s stagnation, there’s a broken circuit. If you have a body of water without an inlet and an outlet, in other words, it’s not circulating, what does it become? If it just has an outlet and no inlet, it drains. It becomes a dry creek bed. If it has no inlet or outlet, it becomes a swamp where everything begins to die around it. If you create an inlet and an outlet again, what starts to happen? The water replenishes. It comes alive again. Animals show up and drink from it. The whole swampy area becomes an oasis again. In your life right now, wherever there is lack, limitation, struggle, stress, diminishment, stagnation, there is a broken circuit. There’s some way in which you’re not going through the whole cycle.

For example, maybe you’re in a relationship, and you are waiting for them to give you love and respect, but you’re not giving yourself any love and respect. You’re waiting. It’s a broken circuit. And/or maybe you’re demanding it of them. So, you have to start there and go, what’s the thing that appears missing? What’s the thing I’m waiting for or demanding or trying to attract or achieve? Start by giving it to yourself. That looks like simply asking, if I loved and valued and respected myself, how would I treat myself? How would I hold myself? How would I show up today in this relationship, in my job? You start to get guidance, and you start to activate self-love. You start to fill yourself up. That’s the first step.

Then you look at the situation that appears to be missing that quality, and you go, now where can I give the love or the respect or the appreciation or whatever? You begin to look for it, and you’ll notice, I’ve been withholding a lot of that from this person or this place. You start circulating it, and then finally you begin to be on the lookout. Where is love and appreciation or validation coming to me? Lo and behold, you find it. Look at that, they just opened the door for me. Look at that, they gave me a compliment, and I received it this time, versus them complimenting me on my hair or my dress or my suit, and me going, “This old thing?” No. That’s you not letting the air back in.

So, you first give it to yourself. How would I hold myself, treat myself, show up, if I loved, valued, appreciated, respected myself? Then you look, where can I bring love, appreciation, validation, whatever, to the situation? Then finally, where is love, validation, appreciation coming to me? As you do that, the circuit is repaired. Circulation begins again, and now you have energy. You have expansion. You have growth. You have abundance. Wherever there’s a circuit that’s running, you have circulation. You have green. You have growth. Wherever it’s broken, diminishment, stagnation, and death.

One last little thing, specifically to money. The word currency comes from the root of current, which means to flow or circulate. The affluence, as in affluent, rich, comes from a word that means to flow into. So, even in the language we’re using around wealth is the principle of the Law of Circulation. It’s the whole dynamic of our entire experience. It’s the secret to creation, manifestation, wealth, and abundance.

So, until next time, remember to live authentically, love unconditionally, and follow your destiny.

To Your Emergence!

The Damaging Myth of Self-Help [Podcast]

Welcome, everybody. Derek Rydall here, founder of the Law of Emergence and author of the bestselling books Emergence and The Abundance Project. I’m really excited to talk to you today about something that is, I think, one of the most damaging ideas in self-help and spiritual teachings, and that is this whole idea that everything should be flowy. I’m going with the flow. If things are hard, you hear people say, it might be a sign from the Universe it’s not meant to be. No. That is not the way the Universe gives signs.

If that was the case, nothing would have ever gotten done. You think it was easy for Lincoln or Elon Musk or Steve Jobs or Walt Disney or Thomas Edison or Jesus or Buddha or Krishna? Find one individual that’s ever done anything of value that it wasn’t really, really fricking hard, and that the hard, the challenging element of it, is what forged their characters in the fires of their own transformation. I dare you to find one example in history, including your Uncle Joe, who did something valuable that didn’t have to work hard.
We get this message, and we’ve been conditioned in a lot of the spiritual New Age airy-fairy kind of thing that tells us when it’s hard, when the doors don’t open and the windows don’t open, that must mean it’s the wrong path. If you have a desire, if that desire is still burning, you’re still on the right path. It’s because you were designed to get stronger through challenge, to build resilience. It’s time to get rid of our wishbone and get a backbone and let go of this magical thinking.

If you go to a gym, and you’re going to build your body up, do you go, let’s remove all the weights, because I don’t want to sweat? If it’s hard and sweaty, it must be the wrong workout routine. Of course not. It’s hard. Your muscles tear, but that causes them to grow back stronger. That’s how you were designed. If you go to a school, do you go, the only criteria is that it has to be easy? I can’t have any tests that I don’t know the answers to yet. It can’t have to cause my mind to have to work too hard and struggle. Of course not. You wouldn’t learn anything.

I talk about the 10 reps. If you go to the gym, and you can do 10 reps, which one is the hardest? People will say, it’s the first one, because I had to get my butt to the gym. Some will say it’s the tenth one, but actually, it’s the eleventh. It’s the one you can’t do, the one you think you can’t do. That’s the hardest one. Guess where all of the growth happens? In the eleventh rep and beyond. There’s no growth in the first 10 reps. That’s maintenance.

So, not only were you designed to do hard, but if you want to grow and have the life of your dreams, you must always find your edge, your eleventh rep. If you want to have what others don’t, you must be willing to do what others won’t. You were designed to do hard. When you do hard on purpose, with a vision, you will activate and develop your muscles, mental, emotional, physical, energetic, financial, creative, relational. You’ll get stronger and stronger and stronger, and your instrument will become a coil that can carry more capacity. You’ll go from being a 100-watt light bulb to being able to carry 1,000 watts. Because if you don’t work it out, if you open to 1,000 watts, it’s going to blow your coil out. But if you get strong by doing hard on purpose, you will develop the capacity for unlimited expression and abundance.

Until next time, remember to live authentically, love unconditionally, and follow your destiny. 

To Your Emergence!

The Commitment Code [Podcast]

Welcome. Derek Rydall here, founder of the Law of Emergence and author of the bestselling books Emergence and The Abundance Project. I am super excited to talk to you about what I think is one of the most important principles that we can ever master and one of the most missing pieces to people that can’t quite make progress, get momentum, and succeed. I call it the Commitment Code. It’s all about commitment. You might be somebody that has got a lot of ideas, and you just don’t know which one to do, or you might be somebody like me. There’s a lot of things you’re interested in, and you’re afraid, if I choose one that might be the wrong one, and then I’m going to miss out on the others.

Sound familiar? That was me years ago. I had abilities at many different things. My mom, God bless her, told me when I was young, “Derek, you can do anything you put your mind to.” It turned out she was kind of right, and it was a curse, because then it was like, which one should I focus on? I used to wish I only had one interest, one passion, and I had many. After struggling for so many years doing a little bit of a lot and making a little bit of progress, but never quite getting momentum, I had this deep realization that that was my way of playing it safe. That was my way of really not trusting life. That was really a daily affirmation. I don’t trust life. I don’t trust myself, so I’m going to have a lot of irons in the fire, just in case life doesn’t really have my back, and just in case I’m a complete idiot, and I’m picking the wrong thing.

I realized that was what I was creating. I was constantly praying and affirming that unconscious prayer, that I can’t trust myself, and I can’t trust life. It said, pick a lane. Pick the thing that has the greatest charge, and if you give your all, if you commit to it fully, even if it’s the wrong thing, it will still eventually guide you to the right thing. As the old axiom says, to he or she who is wrong in mind, they do can do all the right things, it’s still going to turn out wrong. But to he or she who is right in mind, meaning they are sincerely committed. They believe. They trust. They could even the do wrong things, and it will still turn out right.

So, I basically decided that the Law of Emergence for me was the thing that had the most juice for now, and I made a commitment. For the next 18 months I was going to only focus on this, no matter if I got scared, tired, bored, if I fell under the shiny object syndrome, if I was sure something was better, or I was fumbling and stumbling and failing. No matter what, I was not going to stop. This might be aging me, but it reminds me of Young Frankenstein. The Gene Wilder character is in the room with the monster, and he tells Igor, “Don’t let me out of the room, no matter what.” He goes in there, and one second later gets scared and is banging on the door, “Let me out.”

That’s what happens when we commit to something. Everything, all the reasons why we didn’t commit, come up. I’m not good enough. I’m unworthy. Who the heck do I think I am? This is stupid. This isn’t working. They’re stupid. They’re not working. All of that is going to come when up you close the lid on the pressure cooker and start cooking. It’s called a chrysalis. It’s called a crucible of transformation.

As a result of doing that work, absolutely every reason that I was afraid of not making it, every reason why I hadn’t made it, my lack of focus, my lack of discipline, my lack of follow-through, procrastination, all the ways I diluted my power to play it safe, all of that came up, sure enough. Because I made that commitment, I got to do the work and heal and release and integrate all of the unconscious patterns, the hidden shadows. So, not only did I have more money and more possessions at the end of that 18 months, but I had more of me finally come out, and I had a greater possession of myself. I had developed the character of the kind of individual that is successful.

This is the key thing I want you to understand about commitment. Your conditions don’t determine your destiny, your character does. That’s why Confucius said, “All men are alike. It is their habits that separate them.” Conditions don’t determine destiny, character does. Your character is made up of your habits. Your habits are created by what you commit to consistently, and your commitment is based on your core value and vision. So, you want to have a strong vision anchored in your deepest values, and then you want to commit to a path and a practice for a period of time, no matter what. Remember that old thing, to the moon or bust? That’s what you want to do. When you do that, you will develop the character that puts your success on autopilot.

To Your Emergence!

Stay inspired!
