I've been surprised recently by how clear it is when people are communicating from a
material mind space, which is from comparison and lack, or from a spirit mind space,
which is from love and fullness. Especially in my business, I've been noticing this
lightly because we're getting ready to bring in some new ideas and people to help
with spreading our spirit mind message out into the world. And as we do so, there's
a really interesting delineation that I've noticed between these two kinds of
communication. On one side, we have a group that's coming in and telling us that,
"Oh, we love your work. We love what you're doing. Here's all the things that are
really shining, and we've got some great opportunities to expand that and clarify and
align
you know, ascend into a new level of impact and business and so on. And this type
of messaging that's really authentically coming from love feels so good.
It makes me want to jump right in and do more and, and kind of opens up all the
possibilities into the future. It feels really great. And by contrast,
and actually the more common case, probably 95 or maybe even 99 % of the people
that approach me with some ideas for business are coming from a materialized space.
So their message is basically, "Hey, I love what you're doing but I can see that
you're doing it wrong in many different ways. I can see a lot of mistakes that
you're making and I have some information to help you correct all those mistakes and
when you do that You'll be fantastic and everything will be better. And even though
it sounds loving, as it always starts with, "I really love you, I'm motivated, your
work has really helped me," and so I want to help you because I can see all the
mistakes that you're making and how you're doing it wrong and would you like me to
make a long report about all the things that you're doing wrong and how I can help
you fix them? This is actually a very common message that we get in an email
queue. And what I noticed was, I met with somebody recently that had some great
ideas and was very enthusiastic and probably very skilled at this area.
And even though the content was good, my takeaway was that I felt bad.
So I just noticed after we spoke, within a few hours,
I noticed myself feeling a little bit grumpy, feeling a little like I wanted to
kind of just check out a little bit. I didn't really want to communicate much with
you some because I felt myself in this space of a little bit of tension or anxiety
so I was just kind of you know protecting our relationship by just going going
within or really just kind of distracting myself to be honest. Watching a movie on
my iPad and things like this. And it wasn't until the next morning when I woke up
that I realized, "Oh, here's what's happening," because I was communicating with
somebody who's fundamentally coming from material mind, which is a place of
comparison, a place of coming from lack, and most manifesting comes from this space
of lack. Even though it's teaching abundance, it's kind of fascinating. That's why
people go through manifesting courses, create a lot of stuff and don't really feel
any different afterwards. They still feel that they're lacking in some way and kind
of boost up and try to, you know, I guess I need to manifest more things to feel
different. And it never really works because the problem is the mind that you're
rooted in, right? If I realize that the next morning, oh, because I was
communicating in that space with this person, that stirred up all my thoughts.
Because of course, I too can look back and see things I could have done differently
that may have resulted in different results. I can see all the things that I wish
I had done that I haven't done yet. Anybody can analyze and look for mistakes or
missed opportunities. This is not a difficult task. Everybody can do this.
Everybody can self -criticize, and certainly coming up with new solutions is always
helpful from other people. But this task of self -criticism is kind of built into
our material minds. We don't need help with that. So even though this person was
speaking from love also, that's the main message I picked up. And that didn't feel
good to me. And even the next morning I realized, oh, that's what's been going on.
That was the spirit mind inside in the morning. I see what's been happening. This
is why it's so important for me at this stage to really limit my communication time
that I spend with people that are coming from a material mind, grounding material
mind space, because it brings me into that space. I match it very easily.
I'm not so strong in my spirit mind space that I don't respond to people around
me. And of course, by contrast, When I'm spending time with people that are rooted
in spirit mind, I naturally circulate that energy more within it as well.
So I respond to this loving space, this heart centered, expanded perspective,
unconditional love that comes from spirit mind. And when I feel that I'm in that
space, everything feels possible, everything feels abundant. I don't feel like I've
made mistakes that I need to correct. I just feel love for I'm out today,
appreciation for everything that I'm learning, and enthusiasm for the future. And
that's the space that I love to be in and that I think is most productive for
business.
