E143 - Michael Beckwith: Discover The Life You Were Designed to Live

It's lack. Oftentimes people are asking that from a state of lack, like they don't have something. Yeah. And so then when they get it, they're still operating from lack, even though they have the thing, there's still a lack within them. Which is why we see many people with a lot of stuff, a lot of money, but still acting as if they don't have. Greedy, manipulative, dominating people.

Well, I think biomimicry is great, you know, because we look at nature and we see, as you just indicated, when everything is in the right condition, then the potential emerges. Now, the difference between us and a tree is that we have to consciously participate in that emergence. A tree, you just put it in the right condition, leave it alone. It has water, it has sunshine, it has all it needs.

There's no no in it. There's no maybe, oh, I want to be a daffodil. You know, it just... We have more agency to go in the opposite direction. Absolutely. That's why we're the image and likeness of God, because we have that kind of agency. So the inner work that we do is to participate in that activation of potential. I like to say we're not anticipants. We are participating in an energetic flow.

What does that mean? Ralph Waldo Emerson had a word called endogenous. which means that, you know, indigenous means that certain things grow in a particular environment. Palm tree is not going to grow in snow. You know, it's indigenous to warm weather. There's exogenous, that which is outside of us. Endogenous means we create our own environment. We become the ripe condition.

So if we're participating with our own visioning process, our own meditation, our own high intention, et cetera, et cetera, we become a condition for the emergence of our potential. And it doesn't matter about the external conditions of the world. The economy can be up or down. Stocks can be up or down. Presidents can be in or out. That's not our condition. We create our own condition.

And then that seed of divinity within us starts to emerge because we are the condition. Now, many people will look to the world and say, oh, this is a bad time for X, Y, and Z. So they're living from an exogenous point of view. That is determining my destiny. But when we go within, we create our own condition. Potential is activated.
