Inspiration and wisdom to help you navigate your path and consciously create a life of meaning, purpose, and one that you absolutely love.
Is your subconscious mind holding you back?
|
Hey there conscious creator! Take a look at this quote — which is one of my all-time favorites: Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up.
This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood.
This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall.
This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.
— Terence McKenna
If you read between the lines here, this quote provides a clear blueprint for how we can get the Universe to respond to our desires. Did you catch it? Lately, I have been exploring this idea of “stepping into the unknown” as the pathway to manifestation. I've always understood this conceptually, but it wasn't until one morning during meditation that it truly resonated with me. It was like "something" whispered in my ear: Doing the same damn thing you’ve always done is not going to get you that grand vision rattling around in your head. And expecting it to do so is a classic form of self-sabotage. Meaning, if you want to manifest something new, something awe-inspiring, something greater than you are right now and that propels you towards fully stepping into the person you desire to be with the life you desire… You have to step into the unknown and go beyond your familiar state of being! Essentially, this is what manifestation and Identity Shifting are all about—revealing a greater potential that’s already buried inside you. However, those potentials can only blossom in the unknown. As Dr. Joe Dispenza aptly states: “The best way to predict your future is to create it, not from the known, but from the unknown. When the mind is open to the unknown, it can imagine all possibilities.”
We all heard some version of this idea thousands of times, such as Neale Donald Walsch's famous line: “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” But this doesn’t just make for a nice Instagram quote. We have to summon the courage to live these words!We have to back up all our hoping, wishing, and praying by putting our money where our mouth is, so to speak. We have to let the Universe know we’re serious about what we claim we want by hurling ourselves into the “abyss,” as Terence McKenna eloquently put it. That means breaking some part of your familiar routine by taking unfamiliar action. But more importantly, it requires you to do what scares the daylights out of you. Like Joseph Campbell once wrote: ”The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” Trust me, I know, it’s easier said than done. So, the question for all of us becomes:
It starts with our subconscious mind. Because the job of your subconscious mind is to keep you safe and away from pain. It perceives anything outside your familiar comfort zone as “dangerous” and will steer you away from such situations—even when your conscious self desires them. So, how do we get our subconscious to work with us instead of against us?We simply do the following:
And it’s easier than you might think. The formula for reprogramming your subconscious and shifting your reality is pretty simple: Enter an altered state of consciousness, and while in that state, impress upon your subconscious mind what you want it to believe about yourself. That’s why in this week’s edition, I’m sharing two resources that can help you do just that.

Hey there, conscious creator! As we prepare to close out one year and welcome the next, I want to offer you an uncommon piece of advice: Forget New Year’s Resolutions. Ease up on setting goals for outcomes or things. And I’ll even go as far as to say: Let go of trying to "find your purpose” this year. Because resolutions, goals, and even your proverbial “purpose” are fleeting. They change and ebb and flow just as you do, moving through the seasons of life. Most of all, they’re byproducts of...
Hey there, conscious creator! Why do our deepest desires go unmanifested? Why do so many of us, despite our good intentions, fail to make lasting changes in our lives? And why is it that, year after year, research shows nearly 90% of people abandon their New Year’s Resolutions by February? The answer is simple: We give up too soon. When progress takes longer than expected and challenges arise, most of us ghost our desires. This is where dreams go to die. But why? Why do we set sail with a...
Hey there conscious creator! Over the past month, I’ve been talking with many readers about my upcoming Identity Shifting course. My biggest takeaway? How deeply connected we all are and how much we share the same struggles. Why do I say this? Well, from all of my conversations, the common theme is that nearly all of us: Desire to do passionate, purposeful work that sets our hearts on fire. Yearn to live as our true, authentic self—unequivocally and unapologetically all the time. But what’s...
