The mistake so many of us make is, we look for evidence outside ourselves. We slip into an unconscious, habitual, conditioned way of being. We forget: if we want to draw an experience to us, we can’t look for it. We have to become it.
And that goes for whatever it is you’re trying to create. If you want a loving relationship in your life, you must become the love of your life. If you want healing, you must feel the gratitude of being healed.
To bring any new experience into our lives, we have to practice being in that new energy; that new mindset – all the time. Wondering why it hasn’t happened yet is the old mindset.
When you’re doing the work, and it feels like nothing’s happening, how can you be sure? How do you know you’re not changing?
In Dr. Joe’s research, they see evidence of those changes all the time. Even with novice meditators; their data shows something profound is happening to them.
And here’s the thing: The evidence isn’t outside them. It’s happening in their brains. In their hearts. In their inner lived experience – in their bodies first – their biology.
The cells of their bodies are producing thousands of metabolites to look like they are already experiencing a new personal reality.
And some of these people who come out of meditation think they’re doing it wrong. They’re fooled by their senses that it didn’t happen immediately – so they think nothing’s happening at all. The greater perspective is, they’re in the process of becoming … and it is happening.
Analyzing our progress only reinforces our sense of separateness, which leads to trying harder – because we’re looking for something instead of being it.
Those moments of awareness are when we stop repeatedly forgetting and start consistently remembering. And that’s how we start becoming. It’s when we can move into exciting new phases of experience. It’s getting so lost in the act of becoming that the act itself becomes the experience.
