This week on the podcast I discuss an experience in my life that I have come to call “Life, Level 2.” It is a journey of shifting from a pre-determined, prescribed, path to a journey into the unknown.
As babies, our first experience in life is one of discovery. We are inherently discovery learners. As we get older, that experience gets more and more prescribed and defined and we experience less and less opportunity for authentic discovery.
This is why I believe we have so many people at this moment in history experiencing what is commonly described as a spiritual awakening. It isn’t even an awakening to something new, but to something inherently true that has always been a part of our existence.
There are certain decisions that have been made in our culture to influence human behavior in one way or another. One of these things is our education system. We have all experienced how aging through that system resulted in less and less creativity and discovery learning. A study done by NASA found that 98% of preschool-aged children are creative geniuses but that number falls to 30% after 5 years and 12% in 10 years.
It’s time that we face that truth and change our ways, but I can tell you from experience that change within the education system is painstakingly slow. Change is often so minute that when you zoom out it’s as if change hasn’t happened at all.
I think it’s time that we empower ourselves individually to see how we can turn the truth of this trial into a gift. How do we help guide this generation of people back home to the innocence and creativity that is inherent in our nature? We have hit the glass ceiling of experiencing a path that is decided for us. Now, how will this breakthrough shift the collective experience of humanity?
Feel free to check out this week's episode of the Perfect Perception podcast as I go into more detail about my personal experience with this. I share how I found it empowering to shift my perception and external blame to an inner journey in order to transmute a disempowering circumstance into one that works in my favor.
