One of the most frequent questions I am asked is, “How in the hell do you come up with all the ideas for your daily blog?” Many of my fellow coaching friends deeply DESIRE to make blogging a part of their life and leadership practice, yet few rarely actually do! Why? Mostly because of the limiting beliefs in their own ability to be a true CREATOR. Some are even vibrating within a space of utter SELF DOUBT; they don't believe they possess the writing chops to devise columns that would actually be of value. And the thought of attracting a huge audience is just as unfathomable. And THAT IS A SPIRITUAL SHAME!! Because such a mind-set blocks them from the joyous wisdom and wonder that they are ALL capable of creating. So, in today's post, I am going to let everyone in on the KEY COMPONENT to becoming and mastering the Art of being a "conscious creator." Better known as a true GENIUS!
Rule Numero Uno is the realization that YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS ALONE! There is something called Infinite Intelligence that is a powerful and unlimited energy source that is available to us ALWAYS and in ALL WAYS! And as soon as you understand you DO NOT have to be alone in any creative endeavor, a true Paradigm shift occurs deep within your sub-conscious. Of course, the most important action step toward being able to commune with SOURCE is relinquishing your EGO from this co-creative process. In fact, it has been scientifically proven there is only ONE common trait amongst those rare individuals we call GENIUSES. Wanna take a gander as to what the answer to this trait happens to BE ?! I'll give you ten seconds to use your noggin and see what your instinctual essence tells you......NO GOOGLE! ;0)
Ok, time's up! It is.... HUMILITY!! That's right! Humility means loss of ego. Because that is what MUST occur in order to tap into Infinite Intelligence. Those we deem as geniuses in their field and craft, are keenly aware they are NOT DOING THEIR CREATIVE EFFORTS ALONE! In fact, they actually surrender their Ego over to Acceptance and Gratitude. And welcome the opportunity for the wondrous wisdom and enlightenment that embodies being in allowance of Infinite Intelligence to flow with them in all conscious co-creations!
In one of my top 10 favorite books, Power vs. Force, by David Hawkins PH.D, it specifically states through scientific study, “Genius is by definition a style of consciousness characterized by the ability to access high attractor patterns. It isn't a personality characteristic, nor is it something somebody “has” or “is”. A universal characteristic of Genius is HUMILITY; after all, those in whom we recognize genius commonly disclaim it, as they've always attributed their insights to some higher influence. For example, great musicians throughout history have stated that they didn't plan their music, but simply wrote down what they heard within their own minds. Recognized geniuses may be rare, but genius resides IN ALL OF US! There is no such thing as accident or coincidence in this Cosmos; and not only is EVERYTHING connected, we are all members. Consciousness, like physicality, is a Universal quality; because genius is a product of CONSCIOUSNESS, genius is also Universal. It follows that that which is Universal is available to EACH AND EVERY PERSON!” Love it, learn it, live it! ;0)
And for all you leaders in the New Age Nerd community, HUMILITY is just as crucial an ingredient to all your endeavors. Author David White, a consultant to the Fortune Top 50, says, “Contrary to popular folklore, it’s important to note that nice guys & gals don’t finish last. Leaders who display authentic humility have broader spheres of influence, attract better talent, engender more confidence, and earn more loyalty and respect than do those leaders who rely solely upon their chutzpa and their ability to brandish their bravado. If what you’re seeking is lasting relationships, long-term success, and a better quality of life (in and out of the workplace) then you’ll be well served to forgo the pompous acts of the arrogant, and substitute the humility and quiet confidence displayed by true leaders.”
Believe it or not, I DO NOT prepare any of my posts ahead of time. I wake up early in the morning and do a 10 minute meditation, asking SOURCE energy to work with me and align my vibration with the "Spirit of Infinite Intelligence." And during the meditation, the topic for each day's post comes to me! And the FEELING that I receive from consciously communing with this heavenly energy is the most magical experience of most of my days! But please don't misconstrue my words. I am FULLY present during this co-creation. I am also in full ALLOWANCE of Infinite Intelligence to flow through and as me while I write. And it has become a partnership that I value like none other! What was once a "two step" with SPIRIT, has transformed into more of a "Wonder filled Waltz!" Nobody leads the dance, for we are true partners in crimes of the conscious variety! Toes never get stepped on. And neither of us seeks any adulation for our efforts. Just the resolute KNOWINGNESS that what was co-created will be in service to all who it touches!
If you decide that you would like to try and replicate this potent practice, please start slow and be very patient with yourself. It's like everything else in life. It takes time and subtle nuance to slowly learn how to shed your egoistic need for control. Like the process of learning anything new, it may feel clumsy and uncomfortable at first. And there will be some days in which you just can't connect. Very similar to the struggles many of us incur when first learning to meditate. It is tough to master the art of quieting our minds and surrendering to the present moment. But, I promise you, it is worth the time and effort! Just please do not become frustrated to the point you give up trying to partner up with this AMAZING source of intelligent abundance. There is SO much wisdom and understanding SPIRIT wishes to be shared with us all. And because you are a HERO, you were made for the job!
SUPER HEROES IN TRAINING TAKEAWAYS
Last evening I was having a wonderful and quite deep conversation with a fellow coach. We started our dialogue by discussing the particular type of teaching/coaching we were most passionate about. Hopefully, my answer should not be a surprise to any of my fellow New Age Nerds; that of being "The Hero's Coach." By teaching/coaching others, through transformational and instructional guidance, toward their Hero's Journey. Where their own unique CALLING still awaits. Assisting them in creating a new "Heroic Origin Story" that discovers and transcends the blocks and limiting beliefs that have kept them living in a state of victim consciousness. All so they can shift into more dynamic and empowering behaviors by uncovering and UNLEASHING their Super Heroic Higher Selves! Super powers and all! To be of "Supreme Service" to themselves and others in the name of LOVE. The byproduct of which is bliss filled abundance in all areas of life! How does THAT sound?!
I now know that much of this obsession stems from my greatest HERO, my father! He was a teacher for nearly 30 years who touched and transformed the lives of thousands of students. And it is through their businesses, endeavors, families, and conscious "DEEDS of DELIGHT" that his Legacy continues to live on. In fact, at his retirement, at least ONE student from every year he taught, showed up to show their respects. All for this one of a kind HERO who had forever left an imprint of a life well lived in the name of loving service to the World! I really miss you Pops. TONS!
My coaching buddy then began inquiring about the various things I have been implementing to grow the New Age Nerd into something that can help as many people as possible. Thanks to you fellow NERDS, daily readership of this blog has risen more than 40 fold since I started it in January of 2016! AND IT IS ALL THANKS TOO YOU! And I wish I could share the heartfelt feelings of joy and humble happiness I feel with each and every one of you. This community of New Age Nerds have become my HEROES!
So during my friend's continuing line of questioning about my business, he asked me how am I able to write so many blog entries with all the other things I am juggling, usually concurrently. LOL. And do you know what I said?! “It's not all me. Much of it is coming straight from Infinite Intelligence. Or what many (like myself) call SOURCE energy. SPIRIT. Do you think I could do all this by myself ?” I said.
“What do you mean exactly, Infinite Intelligence,” he shot back with more than a twinge of curiosity.
"I am simply the vessel and allow SPIRIT to work through me. Now since I AM part of SOURCE/SPIRIT (as we ALL are) it's NOT that I am uninvolved in the process. Quite the contrary! It's just that I AM a unique emanation of the WHOLE and thus have learned to BE IN ALLOWANCE of the Infinite Intelligence that wishes to work with and through me."
Completely fascinated, he asked me, “How do you this?” To which I offered a slight giggle. “That is like asking how to be in a relationship with GOD. It is personal for each of us. I would say that meditation is a great first step on the Journey,” I advised him.
He happens to be a fantastic guitar player and so I asked him how it felt the first few months of learning to play that instrument. “It was pretty rough and painful, ” he said without hesitation. When I inquired how long it took him to really start to get into a ZONE, a flow while playing, he said it took quite a while; but once it started, it felt like magic.
“There is no difference between learning to play the guitar, and learning to tap into SOURCE. It's getting out of your own way, and putting your own EGO aside. And just surrendering to that very moment of NOW. Where you can simply BE. Which is much more difficult for most people than it sounds. But OH is it worth it. It's 'Heaven on Earth' from experiencing the act of being the GRAND CREATOR. Simply BLISSFUL.”
Once again, here is the SECRET SAUCE to tapping into this unending and bountiful slice of Infinite Intelligence that many call "ENERGETIC GENIUS." In fact, most famous writers, poets, dancers, singers, or masters of many professions who have experienced this magical sensation eventually learn that the key to its access is........HUMILITY. As they say, Steven Spielberg never walks into a room and claims he is Steven Spielberg. Watch the interviews he and George Lucas do. They are constantly deflected their power of genius. And it is so refreshing and infectious!
And hopefully you understand in humility, I am referring to the understanding that we are true co-creators always and in ALL WAYS. To tap into the highest forms of truth and spiritual beauty in any endeavor, discard the ego and be in collaboration with SPIRIT! You will be amazed at the work that will start to manifest before your eyes! And after enough practice, you will be living as though you have brought "Heaven on Earth" in all your daily experiences. And from THAT space is born the makings of a LEGEND!
BE SUPER HEROIC!
