Hello wonderful souls and welcome to Manifest the Big Stuff . I'm Greg Kuhn , your friendly neighborhood law of attraction science guy , writer , speaker , podcaster and intentional manifesting coach . I'm excited to be with you today because this is the fifth episode of a new Manifest the Big Stuff series called Change your Beliefs , change your Life .
The purpose of this series is to document the way working my belief-raising process changed my reality the last time I used it . The process grew my inherited beliefs into alignment with my desired version of reality , since our beliefs manifest the form , function , meaning and value of our entire version of reality .
As my beliefs grew , as I worked my belief-raising process , my reality automatically changed . When a system changes , after all , it always changes its environment . So the first episode of this series starts with my very first writing session about how I really felt about the statement I am God .
My first writing session pegged me squarely at feeling worried and nervous about the statement I am God on my emotional reference chart , which is an ascending list of emotional states that I use to write and live my way into alignment as I work my belief-raising process .
Well , in my initial writing session I found that I felt worried and nervous about that statement I am God . You can hear that initial belief-raising journal entry verbatim by listening to episode 1 of this series . Each episode since has documented me writing and living my way into the next highest emotional perspective on the emotional reference chart .
Episode 2 is about me feeling frustrated and aggravated about that statement rather than worried and nervous . Episode 3 is about me feeling uneasy and discontented about the statement I am God rather than frustrated and aggravated . Episode 4 is about me feeling indifferent and apathetic about it rather than uneasy and discontented .
And episode 5 today is about me feeling pensiveness and melancholy about it rather than indifferent and apathetic .
The goal of this series is to give you , my dear manifesting friend , a front row seat to the subtle yet profound shifts of perspective and understanding about the statement I am God that occur for me every single time I write and live my way up into a new emotional perspective on my emotional reference chart .
I change with each new emotional perspective , not dramatically but authentically , authentically , because the pace of the change between emotional perspectives on the chart is gradual enough that our subconscious goes along for the ride , which means our beliefs are going to change .
And because I change , so does my reality concerning whatever I'm working the belief raising process on . In episodes 1 through 4 of Change your Beliefs , change your Life , I delve thoroughly into my personal history to explain exactly how and why I created this belief raising process and exactly what my experiences with it have been .
I go over exactly how I work the process , how I write and live my way into new emotional perspectives to change myself and , in turn , manifest new versions of reality In any area of my life that I choose to work this process on . All of that is waiting for you in those first 4 episodes .
Now , the quick version of all of that is that this belief raising process works every single time . I use it . Listen to the series and see it for yourself or , better yet , start using my belief raising process yourself Today .
My latest book , a handbook for those already born how to Manifest Better Versions of Reality , covers it thoroughly , as do many of my previous books . Now , last month , in my 4th episode of this series , I was on the emotional perspective of indifference and apathy about being God , and I opened my journaling by acknowledging my current state .
I shared about how the absence of enthusiasm for this concept stems from multiple factors . I confessed that the lack of an instant reward for my understanding of the statement contributed to my lack of interest .
I clarified that the intent behind this declaration is not to claim that I am THE God as depicted in religious texts , but rather to embrace the idea that I am part of the divine whole . I continued by addressing the lack of concern I feel , emphasizing that it's not an absence of interest or enthusiasm , but rather a subdued presence .
These feelings , they're like the trees that line my street . They're my familiar backdrop in my life , but they're not demanding my constant attention , even though they are vital to comprising my surroundings and making my surroundings great .
Just as the trees contribute to the beauty of my neighborhood , the understanding of my connection to the divine enriches my spiritual landscape . However , just as I don't need to focus all my attention on those trees , I don't feel the need to fervently emphasize my understanding of the statement . I clarified that my lack of enthusiasm isn't indicative of not caring .
It's a reflection of the depth of my understanding . I've integrated this belief into my identity and I'm content with where I am . My focus isn't on pursuing the title of Almighty God , but rather on nurturing my growth through the belief-raising process . I likened indifference to hitting a glass ceiling , an emotional state that's not overtly painful but still limiting .
There's always an echo of hopelessness and I reflected on how it relates to moments in life when I've faced things like the inevitability of death and other uncertainties . And I acknowledged that while indifference might not be worse than anger , it's its own unique kind of pain and I reflected on my experiences of languishing in indifference before .
In my reflections I found contentment in recognizing the blessings in my life , acknowledging both the positive aspects and my own imperfections . So , without further ado , here is my belief-raising journal entry about writing and living my way into feeling pensiveness and melancholy about I am God . First of all , here are the definitions of those words .
Sadness means thinking deeply or seriously , often of sad or melancholy things , also expressing deep thoughtfulness , often with some sadness . Melancholy means a feeling of pensive sadness , typically with no obvious cause . Now here's my writing and I start by asking myself what would I believe about me and my life to feel pensiveness and melancholy about this statement ?
I am God . You being the bright light you are , might say Greg , by those definitions you just read , this isn't going to be much of an improvement .
I'd say you're absolutely correct , but it's enough of an improvement that it will align this part of my reality a little more with my desires , and the growth is gentle enough for my subconscious to give me access to my inherited beliefs . It will allow my inherited beliefs to grow in accord with the new emotional perspective .
Now we can talk openly about what we're doing , right in front of our subconscious . Right , it's that most primitive part of our brain . It's right here with us while we're talking .
But we can do that because , one , we're not trying to trick our subconscious , so we have nothing to hide from it , and two , our subconscious doesn't understand words anyway , even if we were trying to trick it . So let's get to what I wrote in this journal entry . Writing myself into pensiveness and melancholy Sadness I am .
God makes me feel sad Because here I am , giving my best effort to intentionally manifest and engage with reality , intentionally seeing and experiencing fantastic results , achieving a lifestyle of learning , growing and changing , which provides me more fulfillment than I even knew was possible , by always allowing me to take responsibility for the changes I seek .
I have a fulfilling lifestyle of being the source of my reality and being the source of its changes , and I love the changes . I'm loved , valuable , important , wealthy , healthy , fit , desirable . I make others' lives better . I make my life better and at the same time I'm judgmental , afraid , weak , critical , blaming , angry , conditional , defensive , unkind , unhappy .
I'm God Sure I am a part of God temporarily experiencing this , and this includes all of that . The best I can do includes all that pain , all that unhappiness , all that suffering they could have stopped caring about .
I am God at indifference and apathy , in the sense that I'm doing great and as good as possible , given the natural limitations and challenges inherent with being a human in this dimension . So what's the point ? How could I do any better , other than , of course , getting better at intentionally manifesting and engaging with my reality ?
But no matter how skilled I become at those things , I'm never transcending all that pain , all my imperfections . So what's the point in pursuing I am God any further , really ?
But if I'm going to pursue it any further which I am because I believe in this belief-raising process and know it always has something of value to offer me , my next perspective is being thoughtful , trending towards sadness .
The sadness , as I've described , is authentic and stems from the tantalizing but unattainable promise of this statement , and the dreamy thoughtfulness that stems from a suspicion that more is possible here , that this belief-raising process may very well end up having me redefine what I and God mean , maybe also what M means , who knows ?
But I do believe in this process without reservation . So I will continue on this journey into pensiveness and melancholy , and I do imagine that such refining and redefining could be in my future , one step at a time . I just don't see that from here . This with reality is challenging .
With something so individualized , we strive for it in most cases , fake it sometimes , yern for it in others . It is my experience personally of God . Of me , god is love , unconditional love . Anything that doesn't lead toward love can't be God , can't be a path toward God .
Self-love , unconditional self-acceptance , seems like the most likely path to embracing and embodying . I am God , beyond where I currently know it . Anything , any way of engaging reality that doesn't point me in that direction can't be God .
Is it possible I've been leaning on , relying on pathways that don't lead to God Because that's what I was taught or that's the way I've always done it ?
Have I , do I use pathways not leading toward God to motivate me , to use as measuring sticks and litmus tests Things based on fear rather than love , familiarity over freedom or familiarity about self-acceptance and love ? What if I simply noticed when self-acceptance and love was happening and , at the very least , get off that non-God pathway ?
When I noticed I was on it , stopped doing it and look for , consider and explore alternatives , like when I get angry at another driver . If I look at them , when I get next to them , I go . Of course it's filling the blank . Whatever pejorative label for who and what they are is , that's not a pathway to God .
First , since I know that , don't look , that's a start . Get off that non-God path . Then , what you don't know . But it's a great question to explore and answer .
Or rather than plan what I'm going to do on a trip to give me a sense of control , because that's not a pathway to God , plan what I'm going to do on a trip to help me make the most of my time on the trip , which does feel like a pathway to God For me . This writing session left me with such an actionable yet not overly grandiose plan .
Moving forward Didn't resolve all of my issues . It didn't get me where I wanted to be eventually about that statement I am God . But with this writing I felt a lot of the ice cracking and my body beginning to fill the space of what might be a much , much better reality .
Regarding the statement I am God , I knew going away that I could begin to identify pathways to God and pathways that were not to God , and it felt good to have that . Thank you , my wonderful manifesting friends , for sharing your time with me today and allowing me to share this with you when we get together .
