I recently came across this quote from Albert Einstein - it stands on its own:
‘The most important decision you will make in your life is…is the universe friendly?’
Have you ever heard this question before?
How do you operate now that this question is front of your mind?
The universe does not have a care either way –
Do you think the universe is an uncaring and ambivalent set of forces that affect you in a random manner governed by some partially understood scientific rules? Many people that I’ve met over the years conduct themselves this way, and I believe their experiences reflect this belief. I believed this was the case with the broader universe for the longest time, and only until recently did I come to understand that I was correct. I’ll explain this notion of correctness in a little bit.
The universe is out to get me –
Are you constantly having a bad day – day after day? Do you think the world / universe is out to get you – seemingly at every turn? Even when things start to turn positive, there is a sense of imminent bad luck that you carry with you? Are you one of these people? Do you know someone close to you at work or in your family that takes this attitude from the moment they wake up until they go to bed?
Have you noticed that this type of mindset and energy is a drag? Everyone has a bad day now and then, that’s not what I’m describing here – I’m talking about a chronic belief that things are damn near guaranteed that it is going to go bad by default. Let’s compare this to the final attitude here.
The universe is friendly –
Do you believe that you are the luckiest guy around? Have you had people tell you that you are the luckiest person that they know? Do you think that regardless however bad things are going – they will seemingly turn out okay. This belief is not so much due to anything that you are going to force, rather you trust the outcome will be positive because the world / people/ universe/ name the external causal factor you would like – is there to make it happen for you.
If you don’t have this belief – have you ever found someone that seemingly has so much luck with things breaking their way constantly that it is borderline ridiculous??? It is an attractive thing to witness in my experience. It is nothing if not – intriguing. There’s a bit of mystery inherent here with these individuals, and many times the questions ensue around ‘luck’ and ‘good fortune’ seemingly being just part of their makeup. I know of a few people like this, and they are certainly memorable. Guess what, the ‘luck’ does not seem to be running out.
So what’s your decision and the results?
Historically, I felt that the universe was ambivalent.
I had a separation of the universe from my religious beliefs – that God was definitely there for me, and that the universe just was there. My results historically were better than average in terms of achieving the things I set out to accomplish – whether they were outward or inward focused.
A few years ago, I decided to stop separating this notion of the universe from my spiritual and energetic beliefs. I consolidated all of these concepts into a Singularity that I trust is, loving, helpful, and rooting for me – with no pressure coming my way from God/the universe.
My results are seemingly supporting the positive lifecycle with more goodness being attracted than I could have predicted – seemingly by coincidence.
A key point here is that my belief and intention are both opening up more and more opportunities without any prompting on my part. I’ve been cultivating increasingly helpful habits that are becoming part of my lifestyle, and I’ve found that I’ve begun to layer more habits on top of the initial starting habit set – with magnified results.
I’m able to perform consistently at a higher level on the new deliverables or point in time goals that I’ve selected – while bringing ever more habits into operation. This ability to sequence in more and more habits while hitting my goals is now truly resulting in cumulative benefits that I could never have predicted even six months ago.
This intention to build up my ability to handle more – whether it be internal or external or both in nature – has helped me to recognize the continued and increasingly ramped ‘coincidence train’ that is continuously visiting me.
So yes, I’ve put the work in – however just as important is my trust in the outcome being helpful and life is increasingly one of flow. Trusting in the helpfulness of the outer universe with God’s guidance has been increasingly a daily blessing for me. Clearly, I had to put the work in to habitualize myself for the soon to arrive wealth in time and increasing freedom from limiting beliefs – much of the Energy and Action Framework is aiming to get you in motion so that the helpful universe can engage all of the benefits you deserve.
So what about this correctness point from before?
Well it is very simple – you are correct with your belief about the universe. This is the truth.
- If you feel that the universe is ambivalent – your results will be middling – a fair amount of up and downs. You are correct.
- If you are convinced that the universe is out to get you – guess what? You’ll be on the receiving end of what you expect – in this case the outcomes will be overly negative. You are correct again.
- If you are convinced that the universe is there to pour all of the gifts you can handle into your cup – then you will be overflowing to the extent you can handle it – possibly even a notch or two past the point of overflow. Finally – you are correct in your assessment of the universe.
In all cases – this is a self perpetuating belief that plays out in your day to day experience.
The key is to decide, not default to a belief, and to decide with a conviction about the decision.
From this point of your intentional decision – you will be a witness to an increasingly true set of results that are lined up with your decided upon outlook.
This is a truth.
