Lights, Camera, Action!
When it comes to "real life" movies, people like dramas, comedies, romances, horror stories, adventure, action, thrillers ... every kind of subject there is.
Go into a bookstore. There are titles on every conceivable subject. Look at all the things being explored, studied, discussed and shared on the Internet. Read the daily newspaper and monthly magazines. Watch or listen to the news. All over the world you see people exploring everything that can possibly be explored. You see people totally immersing themselves in every kind of experience and adventure imaginable. Now think back to why you go to a movie in the first place. The reasons were:
- They're fun
- They provide an escape from your daily routine
- You learn and grow from them
- You experience different points of view and have different experiences
I call all these things your "inner experiences." Why? Because they all go on inside of you. Having fun is a feeling you have inside. Having an "escape" from your daily routine is a feeling that happens inside you. Learning, growing and experiencing different points of view are mental experiences, thought experiences and feeling experiences, and they happen inside of you too. If you really think about it, you don't go to a movie, read a good novel or go to a football game because of what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears. It really doesn't matter if you're seeing an action film, a drama or a romance movie. It doesn't really matter if the novel is set in modern times or ancient times or if someone lives, dies or makes a million dollars. It doesn't really matter if the football team scores ten points or fifty points. What matters most to you is ... What's happening in your inner experience -
what you think, what you feel, what you learnStop and consider that for a few seconds. What goes on inside of you is really much more important to you than what goes on outside of you. I used to teach this at seminars. I'd ask someone in the audience to tell me something they really wanted in their lives that they didn't have right now. People would say more money, a new job, a new house, a new car, a new relationship. I'd then ask if they got the thing they wanted, what would it give them? When I asked the question enough times and peeled away enough layers, it almost always came down to a feeling they really wanted ... peace of mind, more self-confidence, a sense of adventure, happiness, love ... the list went on and on.
It was almost always an inner experience they really wanted, and the money, job, house, car or relationship was just a possible pathway to the inner experience. It's the same with you and me and everybody else.
I recently saw the movie Twister that I really liked. I read a lot of reviews of the movie that criticized it for being unrealistic. Experts said it didn't reflect what really happens with tornadoes. You know what? It doesn't matter!
For the most part, people didn't care. They enjoyed what the movie created in their inner experience. That's why they went and why so many people enjoyed it. I would suggest that it's incredibly valuable to look at your life in the same way ... as if you came here to totally immerse yourself in situations that interest you and to explore the inner experiences (thoughts, feelings and learnings) that result. Therefore, as you seek to make changes in your life, it's critical that you not just look to make changes in what's going on outside of you (job, money, relationships, health, etc.), but that you also focus on what's going on inside of you (intuitive thoughts, feelings, conflicts, learning, growth) ... and focus on the changes you want to make there too. Now here's the really interesting thing, since we're on the topic of movies. When you go to a movie, you see a lot on the screen and you have certain feelings. But you're so wrapped up in the story and drama that you're unaware of the Director of the movie who set the scenes, paced the movie, and coached the actors and actresses to make it possible. The Director is the keeper of the flame, if you will, the keeper of the "vision" that shapes the movie. The Director manages all the moviemaking details from behind the scenes to make sure the movie gets made according to plan, on schedule and the ultimate goal of the movie is achieved. You have a "Director" in your life too. You came into this life with a unique life purpose ... something special you wanted to do, experience or explore.
You wanted to be free to totally immerse yourself in your adventure, so you ... as a soul ... naturally assumed the responsibility of managing the details as what I compare to as the Director of a movie. The Director part of you works 24 hours a day, seven days a week from behind the scenes to help you fulfill your life purpose. Here's something else that's interesting. When the self-help teachers and success gurus say you have unlimited power and can create anything you want if you use "X" technique, they're right . . . and they're dead wrong. They'd be right if they were talking about the Director part of you, but they're dead wrong when they talk about that supposedly physical conscious part of you, the "personality" part of you ... the ego ... that part of you who is reading my words right now. That's not where the real power is! See, unfortunately, no one ever told you:
- That there's this "Director" part of you who manages the details of your life from "behind the scenes."
- The precise role your Director plays in the creation of your daily experiences.
- What your Director does (and doesn't do) for you and how he/she helps you fulfill your life purpose.
- How to contact your Director, communicate with him/her, get answers from him/her, ask him/her for the things you want, and build a working relationship with him or her.
Your Director is constantly sending ads into the network asking for help on all kinds of projects he/she is working on for you. Your Director is also constantly monitoring the flow of other people's ads through the network ... looking for opportunities to help you. By sending and responding to messages through the unconscious network, your Director can help you achieve goals and produce the results you want most ... in ways you can't even imagine right now! Acknowledging the presence of your Director, and building a day-to-day working relationship with him/her is one of the absolute keys to creating a truly successful life ... however you define it. A tea bag is just a tea bag. Hot water is just hot water. But combine them and you create a wonderful and refreshing cup of tea. Combine your "outer world" efforts with your Director's "inner world" efforts and you create a similarly wonderful and refreshing result in your life!
