Lesson 3 - Meet The Real You

You're About To Discover...

• Why you should NEVER try to "raise your vibration"
• Why manifestation and the Law of Attraction haven't been working the way you want them to
• The biggest spiritual trap out there that keeps you stuck
• What "enlightenment" really is and how to formally begin the process

Who Are You REALLY?

Meet my son Atreus. He recently turned 6 months old, but what would you say his Myers-Briggs Personality Type is? Is he an INTJ? An ENFP?

Is he more likely to be a doctor, a firefighter, or a poet? Is he an introvert or extrovert? Is he good with money or bad with money? Will life be easy for him or a struggle?

Notice how labels don't stick to babies. It's absurd to try and put any kind of descriptor or label on them. Even things like race, gender, and nationality are meaningless in trying to describe the essence of who they are. Atreus doesn't act more American than French. He's not more Canadian than Chinese. His body is anatomically male, but his essence is neither male nor female. Neither republican nor democrat. Neither white nor black. Neither rich nor poor. He is beyond all of that. He simply IS. Undefined. Infinite Possibility. He is the embodiment of True Meditation and the Natural State.

Just like Atreus, the Real You is completely undefined. All we can say about it is I AM. And just like Atreus, when You return to your Natural State, the body-mind becomes relaxed and blissful. Joy emanates from the deepest part of your Being. Your cells become full of life and energy, and even your skin seems to glow.

Just like Atreus, you don't have to "do" anything to make all this happen. It's a factory setting! It's all hard-wired in. Health, wealth, happiness, spirituality, the ability to live your life with joy and meaning and pursue your wildest dreams... it's always been there!

And even though Atreus is in a state of True Meditation, oneness, and bliss, notice that he doesn't just sit there! He's full of life and energy. He wants to move, play, and explore. There are things that interest him. He expresses himself without reservation. He has no judgement, and he simply wants to follow his bliss.

Atreus might not have the "words" for it yet, but one of the secrets that he knows is that You are no different than him.

You and he are the same. His Infinite Possibility is Your Infinite Possibility. His oneness, joy, and bliss are Your oneness, joy, and bliss. His already and always state of freedom is Your already and always state of freedom.

So... what happened?!

Now, I know that Atreus hasn't been around as long as you have. You've had some interesting experiences over the years and made up stories about yourself about what those experiences "meant". In order to deal with life, at some point you found it helpful to pretend to be an INTJ or an ENFP or "more American" or "more Eurpoean" or "more masculine" or "more feminine" or "more spiritual" or "more whatever." Over the years, you learned to "be a certain way" in order to win approval from your parents or friends or teachers or preachers or society as a whole.

Maybe you were laughed at when you said you wanted to be an astronaut or play in the NBA. And so you decided to act, to pretend to be someone who didn't dream that big. Deep down, you still knew anything was possible, but you shoved that awareness deep down and pretended like you had limits like everyone around you. It didn't feel safe to be Infinite Possibility so you started pretending that you weren't that. You had to pretend around your parents. You had to pretend around your teachers and friends. It was only alone, late at night, that you dared to stop pretending. But you had spent so much time pretending NOT to be Infinite Possibility, that it started to feel natural. You pretended to NOT be Infinite Possibility so long that you started doing it automatically. Eventually, those rare moments when you stopped pretending and allowed yourself to dream once again, THAT started to feel like pretending. You told yourself a lie about Yourself for so long that you started to believe the lie.

Do you think the Real You has limitations? Is there anything that is impossible for the I AM awareness that You Are? You were "taught" to be realistic. You were "taught" what you can do and what you can't do. You were "taught" who you can be and who you can't be. You were taught to be someone that you're not. And it's time to unlearn all that teaching!

The Infinite Possibility That You Are was domesticated to be a "normal" member of society. The Un-ending Love And Bliss That You Are was taught to be fearful and mistrusting. The Eternal Freedom And Peace That You Are was taught to feel stress, anxiety, and lack. None of that is you, it's all stuff that was given to you!

It's like you put on a mask and started acting out a character in a play. Every day, you put on the mask. You started sleeping with the mask on, and you played the part so long that you forgot you were the one who put the mask on in the first place. You started believing that You were the mask, and you started believing the play was reality. As crazy as that scenario sounds, it's exactly what happened to you! You aren't the person you've been playing in life! You aren't the mask that you've been wearing! The Real You is the undefined, I AM awareness. THAT is what put on the mask. And THAT can just as easily take it off.

When you take off the mask, you experience a return to freedom. What would it feel like if you didn't have to be the "you" that everyone expects you to be? What would it feel like to take off the mask and simply be free? To return to the freedom that you always have been and already are? Imagine how confident and happy you'd be if you were in play, but you were the only one that knew it was a play! Everyone else was lost in the drama of their character, lost in their backstory, carrying around the scars, wounds, and wrongs of the past, but not you. You know that NONE of that is you. You can be whoever you want to be, act however you want to act, say whatever you want to say, do whatever you want to do, and have whatever you want to have because you are and always have been free.

This is what happens as you dive into True Meditation and return to your Natural State.

Now, it's time for you to take everything you've learned so far to the next level with the Two-Circle Analogy.

The Two-Circle Analogy

Understanding the Two-Circle Analogy will change the way you approach meditation, spirituality, the Law of Attraction, and all of life. It's a turning point on your path to Self-realization and your return to freedom.

No-circle

The Natural State is no-circle. This is where Atreus is. This is the Real You. Imagine if the square you see below was infinite in all directions. That's You when you're completely undefined. When you're in your Natural State, you automatically and effortlessly experience:

• Infinite Freedom
• Un-ending Bliss
• A body that is vital and full of life
• You live in a state of abundance and possibility
• You follow your dreams
• There's a sense of oneness with and gratitude for everything

Everything you want from meditation, everything you want for yourself and your life is available to you in your Natural State.

One-circle

One-circle is your current sense of self. It's the mask. It's the person you've been pretending to be in life. Are you an introvert? An extrovert? Are you good with money? Bad with money? Are you republican? Democrat? Independent? Whatever your answer is, no you're not. That's just the mask that I AM has been wearing. You are not the mask, you are Infinite Freedom. But rather than embracing the freedom and bliss of the I AM awareness, in One-circle, you have embraced a certain "way of being."

There's nothing wrong with One-circle, but notice that it cuts you off from Infinity. In One-circle, you believe that you are separate from the Universe / God / the All. The Universe is "out there", while you're "in here" in this body. You're not the Great I AM, you're "I am this fragile body" or "I am this person with this history and these limitations."

One-circle is you - defined - or said another way, you imprisoned. Instead of Infinite Possibility, you experience one possibility. Instead of being able to be whoever you want, you have to be "you." Instead of feeling joy and bliss and the ecstasy of existence, you feel what's in alignment with your identity as "you."

When you're in One-circle, you are stuck. Life is one way. Relationships are one way. Money is one way. And no matter what you do, everything seems to stay the same. You are in one possibility of life. Out of the Infinite Possibilities you could experience, you have (usually unconsciously) chosen just one to experience. You're still free, but you don't KNOW it. You think the circle is you.

When you are in One-circle, you have ONE way of being. Of the infinite thoughts you could think, you only think certain thoughts. Of the infinite feelings you could feel, you only feel certain feelings. Of the infinite actions you could take to bring your wildest dreams to life, you only take certain actions. You think, feel, act, and experience life ONLY in the ways that are in alignment with your circle, your prison, your view of the world.

As an example, what have you been thinking today? You already know that you can think absolutely anything. There are infinite thoughts you could be thinking right now, so which ones have you been thinking?

Have you been coming up with million-dollar ideas today? Ideas to evolve humanity or transform the world? You can come up with a million-dollar idea every day if you want. You don't have to do them all, but you just might find one that inspires you and is worth pursuing. Is there anything stopping you from coming up with million-dollar ideas? There are an infinite number of million-dollar ideas out in the I AM awareness that you are, but chances are, ZERO of them have been allowed inside your circle. Your circle keeps you from abundance.

Your circle keeps you from new levels of health, joy, bliss, freedom, and peace.

Isn't it true that right now, no matter what you want in life, there are a series of step-by-step actions you could take that would get you from wherever you are to wherever you want to be? Isn't it true that I AM awareness always and already knows exactly what you need to do to get from wherever you are to wherever you want to be? Does it get any more exciting than that?! No matter what your wildest dream is, I AM awareness can take you there. There is a perfect path to its effortless manifestation. You just have to get out of your circle!

You can't think the thoughts that will lead you to your ideal life because they all exist outside your circle. You can't feel the feelings that will make you unstoppable in the pursuit of your dreams because they all exist outside your circle. And you already know, if the right thoughts and feelings aren't there, you certainly aren't going to take the right actions that will lead you to the life of health, wealth, happiness, meaning, and purpose that you came here to experience.

Everything you want is waiting for you just outside of your circle!

One of the most rewarding things in life is tearing down your circle and returning to freedom and bliss. That's the ONLY path to lasting health, wealth, happiness, and enlightenment, and True Meditation is how you do that. You already have one powerful technique you can use, and because everyone is different, there are a wide variety of other techniques that are covered in our 30-day Return to Freedom experience.

The simple truth is that there are certain practices that are needed to open you up more fully and more quickly to I AM awareness. You've been trapped in your circle for so long that you don't remember the way out. For some people, I AM might feel like voidness or emptiness at this stage of their journey. You might feel sleepy or even lethargic during your meditation. But when you really drop into the fullness of I AM, the mind is overcome by bliss. Currents of ecstasy begin coursing through the body. You feel vital, energized, and ready to dive into a miracle-filled life. Dropping into I AM becomes a supreme joy that you wouldn't trade for anything in the world, and it frees you to create a life of profound meaning and joy.

If that's not your experience yet, don't worry! You've only just started, and you haven't learned about Two-circle yet, how to break free of that trap, and go beyond.

Two-circle and Beyond

One-circle is your concept of self. Within your circle, you have the "knowledge" of what happens in No-circle, but rather than dissolving back into No-circle, you try to recreate No-circle from within your circle, thus giving rise to the "spiritual" self. Two-circle robs you of power. It's why the Law of Attraction, meditation, and spirituality don't seem to be taking you all the way to where you want to go.

When you understand why raising your vibration and practicing gratitude is inauthentic, you'll finally be able to return to the freedom where you're always "high vibration" and deeply grateful for and connected to the All.

True Spirituality is beyond imagination. True Spirituality is simply the recognition that you are not the False Self followed by the inevitable return to freedom.

The False Self

At this point, you have become increasingly aware of the existence of the False Self - the you that believes in fear, worry, doubt, lack, and limitation. It's the False Self that keeps you stuck. It's the False Self that robs you of power. It's the False Self that slows your healing, keeps you broke, won't let your mind shut-up, or constantly has you feeling like there's something wrong with you or wrong with life. The False Self is the single greatest enemy you have. It's the single greatest drain of your energy, your health, your abundance, and your joy. In fact, you may have already started to realize that it's the ONLY drain in your life.

The False Self is the ONLY thing keeping you from the relationship you want. It's the ONLY thing that can keep you living paycheck to paycheck. It's the ONLY thing that can stop your business from taking off. It's the ONLY thing making it hard to heal. And it's the ONLY thing keeping you from living the life of meaning and joy that you're here to live.

When you fully understand how much the False Self costs you every day that you give it control of your life, is there ANYTHING more worthwhile than waking up from its control? Is there any better investment of your time than to return to the complete freedom of I AM awareness so that you can live a better life for yourself, your family, your community, or for the world?

Now notice that you don't CHOOSE to experience any of the struggle and limitation brought about by your False Self. No one chooses to feel bad or to think negative thoughts. No one chooses to struggle with money or doubt their ability. It all happens to you automatically. That's because the False Self is your unconscious self. Yes, it's a mask, but it's a mask you don't realize you are wearing.

You are creating your life unconsciously through the False Self. And no matter what you do, no matter how "high vibration" you try to be or how hard you visualize, you already know that you can't create a new life or new reality from within the prison of the False Self. Haven't you tried before? Haven't you tried positive thinking and the Law of Attraction and guided meditations (99.9% of which are Two-circle explorations!). You've struggled and struggled for years, and you're starting to realize that no matter how hard you struggle as the False Self, it doesn't matter. The False Self automatically and effortlessly manifests your life exactly the way it is because it's the unconscious you. If the "you" that you think you are is the tip of the iceberg, the False Self is the other 95% of the iceberg. And no matter how hard you struggle, you aren't breaking away from the iceberg. You're going where IT wants to go!

So if you want to get somewhere new, you've got to dissolve the iceberg. That's what you're doing in True Meditation.

Once the iceberg is gone, there's Infinite Freedom. And just like the False Self can automatically and effortlessly manifest your current experiences of life, YOU as I AM awareness can automatically and effortlessly manifest whatever experience of life you want to have.

What would you do if you were free of the False Self? What would you do if anything were possible?
