The Last Answer You’ll Ever Need
Remember when you were little and on a long car trip with your parents? At a certain point you started kicking the back of the seat, punching your brother and asking every two minutes:
“…are we there yet?”
Spiritual and personal growth is like that too.
Have you been “working on” yourself, or been on a “spiritual path” for a long time but just don’t feel there yet? Like you really don’t have the answers you want? Here’s how you finally get that, once and for all, in three different flavors for your pick ‘n play delight. Taken from advanced practices in my ETHOS Method (which sees its first birthday next month – woohoo!) and the Everyday Bliss Process.
In the below, the “thing you want to know the truth of” could be a decision, a thing to buy/acquire/maintain, a relationship, job, moving, getting the messages of and getting rid of chronic pain or symptoms – just about anything at all. The techniques you’ll learn here work equally well for all.
1. First Method: Take the item you’re wondering about the truth of and imagine it fitting into your heart. Does your heart feel heavy with that thing in there? Then it’s wrong for you. Does your heart feel light? Then that thing would be good for you.
2. Another take: Expand the thing you’re wondering about the truth of outside your head to the size of your room, then your house, then your city, state, country, the entire world. Expand that thing right out to the edges and beyond the end of the universe. What happens to it? If something doesn’t have enough substance behind it to nurture and sustain you, it will disappear or feel spacey. If instead that thing gets huger and huger and fills your entire attention span, then that is the truth of the matter.
3. And One More: Put your hand on your heart and your other hand on your solar plexus. Remember feeling very deeply loved, or in love – that time when it’s 100% joyful.
Yes, just like that. Just feel it, and how it feels in your heart and stomach.
Now, take your hands off your body and notice the floor, the walls, the color of your clothes.
Place your hands back on heart and solar plexus. Now remember a time when you felt the pain of rejection or breakup and feel that in heart and stomach. These are two poles like north and south on your “bliss compass”. Contrast this thing you wish to know the truth of against these two feelings. Which does it feel more like? Which feels lighter, more joyful, more irresistably attractive? This will be the truth of the situation, the thing you should do right now, that which you need to pay attention to. Go there.
These are three ways intimately connected with your own core truth. You can use these tools like a magnet to attract exactly that which is best and most desirable for your life.
Taken together and spiced liberally with ETHOS to step on into that Unlimited Self that doesn’t need protection spells, charms or symbols, you now have the Key that unlocks the secret of every conundrum you will ever be presented with.
What will you do with it? What doors, boxes, windows, gates and pathways will you choose to open? I’d love to see your thoughts on this below…
