Establish an intention or just be grateful for your life. Establish an intention to have a beautiful day and just sit for five minutes in the silence.
Obviously that will grow because you start to love it more and you'll be six minutes and eight minutes and 10 minutes, but you just have a little bit of practice. It'll change the trajectory of your life instead of going down the path that fear, anxiety, and worry will take you.
Now you're going down a path where peace and love, and these are the most powerful forces on the planet, even though when you say those words, people think, oh, that's not it. That's just love. That's just peace. No. Peace is the dynamic of harmonizing good. It's a power. Love is a total givingness without any sense of withhold. That's a power.
So when you desire to be peaceful or loving, you're having a desire to be so confident, not in your little self, but in the power that's around us. You become powerful. Mahatma Gandhi wasn't a weak guy. You know what I mean? He was powerful in his peacemaking. And so we all don't have to be that, but in our own individual lives, we can make a big difference.
Well, it is getting better. We're just not reported. When a person is on the news, they are reporting from an old paradigm. You and your program and people who have podcasts like this, we are reporting from the emerging paradigm. So the things we see on television, that's an old paradigm. So things are getting better, but you're not going to see that on television. What are you going to see?
The latest assassination, the latest bombing, the drought, the hurricane, the tsunamis, political backstabbing, people being arrested for all kinds of nefarious crimes. You're basically going to be inundated by the most negative, lowest common denominator of the human experience. And every now and then you get a little joy thing. Oh, here's a puppy. You know what I mean?
Oh, so-and-so rescued their cat. Isn't that sweet? You know what I mean? But 99% of it's going to be inundation of negativity. We're not seeing the remissions of cancer. We're not seeing the truces that are being made. We're not seeing people who are making amends. We're not seeing people who are growing and developing and unfolding and changing their lives. If we were to spotlight that thing,
Every single day, how many remissions did we have today of cancer? How many people spontaneously healed their diabetes? How many people actually fell in love with or did deep forgiveness and with their family members or friends or so-called enemies?
If that was focused on, if the news was actually the news and not the olds, because it's actually the olds, same thing every day just happening to different people, the world would change rapidly. Because where our attention goes is where our energy flows.
So if we were all focused on all these great things that are happening, like right now on this planet, right this second, not in the future, we have everything necessary to handle every issue. Right now. It all exists. Now, technologically, we just don't have the will and the consciousness to bring it into expression. Those things are repressed so that the powers that be can continue to profit us
offer an old way of being on the planet. We have technology to clean up the water. There's no water shortage. We have technology to have free energy. There's no energy shortage. All these things already exist, but the powers that be don't let that emerge. So if we pay attention to a world that works for the highest and best within us all, we will create the vibrational condition for it to emerge.
As Victor Hugo once said, you cannot stop an idea as time has come. So when this becomes saturated in our awareness, the new ways of being in the world, which are ageless, by the way, will emerge. And I see that. I've been carrying a vision and be carried by a vision for years. So I stay joyfully optimistic. An optimistic is not a person that doesn't believe in problems or challenges.
An optimist is simply a person that knows that there is a solution to every issue. And so I know that. So that's where I live.
Right. You do a simple practice of finding one thing to be grateful for. You just wake up. Like when I wake up in the morning, I put my feet on the ground. I just say something along these lines. I'm so grateful for my life. I'm grateful that I exist. And what happens is if you come into a feeling of gratitude, your perception and your perceptual windows become clearer.
And now you're able to see opportunities. If you don't believe in possibilities, the mind can't see opportunities. So when you open yourself up to gratitude, you start to see opportunities. You start to see things differently. Then that develops momentum and you become a grateful person, a grateful being, which then you begin to see things you've never seen before.
You know, I remember years ago, I was moved to become a vegetarian. So I'm driving down Crenshaw Boulevard. There's a store, I think it was Lindbergh store, a health food store back in the day. And I passed by, I said, oh, wow, a health food store. I wonder how long it's been there because I've never seen it before.
So I go in, it's been there over 20 years, but I never noticed it because my attention, that wasn't important to me, eating good food. I never noticed it. It's been there in my neighborhood all these years, but I've never seen it. So once our perceptual windows get clear based on gratitude and high intention, we start to see things we've never seen before.
We start to see people we've never noticed before. There's an old statement that when the pickpocket sees the Buddha, all he sees is his pockets. He can't even notice that he's the Buddha, that he's carrying enlightenment. because he's only interested in the pockets.
So when we start to become grateful and look for something to be grateful for, we start to notice a different world that's hidden in plain sight. And yes, the news will still be going on, but after a while, we're able to look at it And what I teach people what to do with that is if a friend of yours calls you and says, oh, my God, I have a backache. I have this bad diagnosis.
Would you pray for me? You would say, yes, of course, I'll pray for you. And you're going to go inside and you're going to see the best about them and hold. So the news is a collective prayer from our society. It's a society saying we can't see clearly right now. We're in war. We're in hate. We're in scarcity. We're in lack. That's the diagnosis.
