Rethinking Reality
While it might not always feel that way, you currently find yourself in one of the most exciting stages of your journey. When you begin to rethink your so-called “objective” reality and question the things you have always regarded as unquestionable, you open up the space for Magic to flow into your life, and doors to some fantastic possibilities start opening up for you.
You enter this phase of the journey when you acknowledge that there is much more to the objective reality we live in than there appears to be. This can happen in different ways, at different levels. Sometimes, it’s very obvious; an entrenched realist gets into an accident and has a near-death experience that changes everything for him, because he can no longer deny his true infinite nature. Other times, it is so subtle you might not even notice the shift.
Nothing actually has to happen for you to realize how beautifully Magical the world we live in really is, and how much is available to you, because your true Self knew it all along. And, as you grow and evolve on your journey up the Spiral, your higher Consciousness will at some point manage to push its Knowing past the limiting believes of your egoic self.
The truth is, how you got here doesn’t matter. What does matter is that the seed has been sown, and once sown, a seed does not lie in the soil idle. Depending on the quality of the soil, which in this case is a metaphor for your inner and outer environment, the time required for the seed to take root might vary. However, you can no longer pluck it out. It has been planted, and your world is bound to change as a result.
If we were to apply the four stages of learning to your journey, you currently find yourself switching from unconscious incompetence into conscious incompetence. Meaning, up until this point, you have likely existed in a state or ignorance, proverbially blissful or not at all, taking the “objective” reality at face value, never or rarely questioning anything that the “authorities”, the master creators of this reality, presented as the truth. You did not know about everything that you do not know, nor did you wonder about it.
Now, for whatever the reason is in your case, you are beginning to discover that some things are not as they appear to be. That many of them aren’t true, or at least they do not feel true to you. While that might be quite unnerving at the initial stages, as your uprooted Ego struggles to find something it could keep holding on to, rethinking your model of the world also opens you up to possibilities you have never considered before, possibilities that never appeared to be available to you until now, simply because you were not aware of them—because you were taught to believe they were impossible. But how could there be such a thing as an impossible possibility?
Even if at the moment, you still find yourself in the initial unnerving stage where it feels like everything you thought you knew is collapsing like a house of cards, or you haven’t really noticed anything much yet, other than a rather peculiar, unfamiliar sensation of wonder and curiosity about what might be true and possible, things are inevitably about the get very interesting.
You, just as everyone else, have your own Path to walk. It will inevitably lead you to discover treasures you have never even dreamt of, secrets many have struggled to conceal, possibilities so fantastic they will shake you to the core and keep you awake at night, unable to stifle the excitement and the desire to learn more, do more, be more.
Because you really were meant for more than what is currently available in your life.
ACTION STEPS
learn & explore
At this stage in your journey, the best thing you can do is to follow your curiosity. Chances are that up until now, you mostly did the things you thought you were supposed to do, they way you thought you were supposed to do them. Now it is finally time to give yourself permission to do the things you feel like doing, and figure out the way to do them as you go.
Therefore, allow yourself to see the world through the eyes of a child again. Do not limit yourself. Take an interest in things you have long ago decided were not for you, give everything another chance, see how it makes you feel. Ask questions until everyone around you runs out of answers, and then ask some more, because questions will lead your way into the unknown and open you up to receiving.
Books, documentaries, courses, workshops, travel, meditations, explorations of any sort… Use your imagination, and all your senses. When something piques your interest, give it a try, and move on if it turns out not to be the next right thing for you. Keep going. It is though this exploration of untapped possibilities that you will begin to discover your true Self.

The magic moments journal
This step is just as easy and straightforward as it sounds. At the stage of the journey you are currently at, where you are only just beginning to rethink everything you thought you knew and opening yourself up to the unknown, and interesting clash of two entirely different realities is bound to occur.
On one hand, the Universe, thrilled about your (re)discovered capacity to perceive the Magic in everything around you, will be eager to serve you with a multiplied dose of all the supposedly impossible things you have been missing out on until now. Thinking back on when I was at this stage, I can’t help but smile at everything the Universe had to come up with in order to demonstrate to me that Magic was, indeed, real.
On the other hand, your rational mind, strongly supported by the Ego, will do anything and everything to convince you that none of it is real. Why? Because it threatens your model of the world, your sense of security nested in your illusion of security, and everything that the Ego is trying to hold on to.
Therefore, grab a journal or a notebook and write down every single incredible, impossible, miraculous, Magical thing that happens to you, and refer to it every time the mind attempts to convince you none of it is real. Remember—
“There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
- Albert Einstein
Tune into your body
As you begin to rethink your reality, that also puts you in an interesting place in terms of your relationship with and to your body.
On one hand, your body is what is seemingly keeping you trapped in a material reality that is now turning out to be not quite as material as you were taught to believe it was. On the other hand, it is also probably the fastest way to get in touch with your true Self.
Spending a few minutes tuning into your body will give you more clarity, more Knowing that reading a book or taking this quiz ever could. Because the truth is, you already know everything you need to know.
Now, everyone has a different way of tuning into their body, but some of the most common techniques include breathwork, body-scanning or a combination of both.
If you feel like you could benefit from a short guided process of reconnecting with the essence of you through focusing in your body, you can use the audio below.
Regardless of the stage of the journey you are at now, it is important you know that it never ends.
There is no final point, no ultimate goal that would bring your exploration to an end.
You might now be at a stage at which you are consciously creating your dream life, but something might happen tomorrow that changes your circumstances, forcing you to rethink your new reality and re-awaken to your new, evolved self all over again.
That might seem frustrating at a first glance, but it really is what makes Life magnificently beautiful.
Remember, the journey is always a spiral, never a straight line.
At every step of the way, know that you have already been here before, albeit on a different loop in the Spiral.
You got this; somewhere deep down, you already know what your next step is.
(re)discover yourself
However, if your next step seems blurry to you, if you are not quite sure where to turn or you feel like some guidance would be something you would benefit form at this moment in time, I warmly invite you to consider the possibility of booking a 1-on-1 session with me.
