Spanish to English and in it there was
this idea the art of listening to life
and I worked with the material for
several years some of which I’ll share
with you today and it kept floating to
the top the art of listening to life
let’s drill into it why the art well we
are the creative artists of our life our
life doesn’t come in a package life is a
gift but the details of that life are up
to us we are the creators of our body
the creators of our circumstances and we
are our responsibility is to become
conscious participants in the creation
of that we are shepherds of our thoughts
so it stands to reason that the input
that we have will have an effect on the
outcome so becoming conscious
participants is what it’s about now the
idea what you think you become with the
Buddha this has been around with us for
thousands of years we can go back into
history and we see this idea recurring
it’s even in the Bible in proverbs 4:23
be very careful what you think your
thoughts run your notice to be very
careful what you think as a man thinketh
j melons this is a 1903 dreams are the
seedlings of reality so these concepts
point to the idea that the thought has
an impact on creating our reality and so
question of become conscious
participants in this process now whether
you see yourself as a creator or a
co-creator it’s about becoming a
conscious Cepeda
so the art of listening listening we
hear that being a good listener is a
good thing no pun intended but we don’t
just listen with our ears we you know we
actually have an internal receptor
that’s made up of of heart mind and soul
that is constantly taking in information
constant income of information coming
from our higher self
so reawakening the ability to hear this
inner voice is key to being able to
navigate life information is coming in
constantly coming from our higher self
soul self source universal intelligence
God or vocabulary serves you when I hear
to define the undefinable but we
understand things from our own
perspective I see the universe from
Center from here you see it from there
so for all intents and purposes were all
the center of the universe the guidance
and information comes from the outside
and but it’s up to us to assimilate that
information and make something of it we
have to understand it from our own
perspective so how does life send us
messages there’s a constant stream
coming in through all the occurrences
that happen our life it comes one thing
that we get off the table right off the
bat is that life doesn’t communicate
with us with words and language it
communicates through messages through
signals signs situations all this sort
of thing and when we become better at
interpreting what those that messaging
system is it goes deeper it goes to
intuition it goes to heart impulse it
goes to deep feelings and then as we go
along we start to see it in coincidences
occurrence is happening in our life
synchronicity everything comes together
so that we can accomplish our dreams and
reach our destination we have lines like
the stars all aligned so that we could
you know get a project done we have a
lot of these pretty statements about how
things work and should work so about 10
years ago we had the secret you remember
that it was a it was a documentary and a
book and talked about following your
dreams and and the law of attraction
when the collective mind is ready for
information it comes and that particular
one went like wildfire we were ready for
it I’m also noticing that we’re really
ready for the methods of achieving these
broad statements that are made so for
instance in order to follow your dream
you have to have one seems like a simple
concept but trying to find that mission
that vision that intention it can be a
challenge law of attraction the law of
attraction doesn’t work without the law
of intention intention is the magnet
intention as the magnin the universe
knows what to send you if you don’t then
the universe sends you all kinds of
random stuff trying to see what will
take what will work give you a little
chaotic intention and clarity of purpose
can really help here so another
statement is you’re the creator of your
reality well how does that work well
let’s touch on it a bit so we are
vibrational beings we are frequency
everything is an accumulation a
temporary accumulation of atoms and
nothing stays the same
how does physical world change how does
a canyon form forest well the common
answer for that is erosion but how does
Rock transform itself so it can float
down the river rock pretty solid right
but still made of atoms and atoms are
99.999% space
so through this vibrational process the
particles and atoms all rearrange
themselves so that erosion can happen
and rock floats down the river
everything is vibration everything is
frequency so how does this relate to
thought well Einstein said imagination
is more important than knowledge
then he deepened it with this the
intuitive mind is the sacred gift and
the rational mind is the faithful
servant our society is honoring the
servant rational mind and forgetting
about the gift intuitive mind everything
that we see around us everything that
you see started in the imagination it
started as a thought an ID so we’re
quite enthralled with this thing we have
this incredible brain can’t live without
it
I mean some of us know people that don’t
have a brain but that’s that’s different
right so the amazing brain now humans
are in order to understand things we’re
isolationist we isolate ideas so in
science we isolate the problem in the
medical profession we isolate the
disease and we tend to forget that
everything works in systems so for
instance a a gland problem well that’s
part of the endocrine system so it’s an
endocrine system from endocrine system
is the network of all your glands and
that well sort of related to our
emotional field and our emotional
landscape and that well that’s related
to we see what we’re thinking our belief
systems so everything is independent
everything is connected
so speaking of connections this is the
neural network of the brain did you know
that this material actually runs down
our spine wraps around our heart and
goes down through our gut the same
material that makes up our neocortex is
actually found around our heart and in
our gut
it’s electrical current so we can
measure thought actually meter it so
neuroscientific study has studies where
they hook up an individual to sensors
all these sensors and they asked the
participant a question when the person
answers the question
the first lights that light up are the
heart lights the heart lights on the
sensors will actually light up two to
three seconds before the brain lights up
the sensors the gut will actually light
up before the brain lights up now this
is a scientific study that’s out there
and what it does is it basically
confirms that what we know intuitively
we know there’s something else going on
it’s not all just in the brain the heart
math Institute along with other
organizations claim that the heart tells
the brain what to do the brain is the
supercomputer that actually kicks out
the task what does your heart tell you
follow your heart
I had a good gut feeling at a bad gut
feeling now all these statements so
something that we know intuitively is
backed by science good to have science
on our side these days because I think
science is the religion of the day we
have great faith in science and science
is great it gets us to understand our
physical space or physical universe and
that’s important but it gets it gets us
to where consciousness and all of a
sudden the mathematical calculations no
longer serve it was peer to chef Dan who
said that we are not physical beings
having a spiritual experience
we are spiritual beings having a full
experience now source we are here
experiencing ourselves in individuality
and we’re quite taken by that so
thoughts are electrical their energy
their frequency this frequency we output
into a vibrational world everything is
vibration thought is vibration when you
attach emotion
thought when you attach an emotion to an
intention to a vision to a dream it
becomes the more powerful transmission
and it moves out into our vibrational
environment into our reality
that’s one of the interactions we’re
actually speaking the language of the
universe Nikola Tesla another great mind
of the last century if you wish to
understand the universe think of energy
frequency and vibration so we’re not
alone thinking these thoughts the art of
listening to life is a lot like sailing
like navigating on the open ocean of
life navigating is about making
decisions making good decisions is about
how you listen how you interpret the
information that’s coming in so thought
and emotion put out into that Universal
vibration gives this you are captain of
your ship if there’s a slight change in
wind direction you have to make the
corrections necessary to maintain smooth
sailing if you don’t then you suffer the
consequences if there’s a slight change
in wind direction well that is a
metaphor for incoming information from
your higher-self
ignore the message don’t make the
correction sailing becomes rough you can
even end up dead in the water one of my
recent activities I’m developing a
relaxation app because quieting the mind
is the first thing that needs to happen
I just mind chatter you know I just
learned a new expression in Mexico it’s
an active brain like a monkey in a mango
grove I liked the MIT there I go pretty
crazy in a mango grove elf love mangos I
so quieting the mind we have TV we have
radio we have city sounds that’s
external noise we have judgement
we have worry we have fear that’s
internal noise it all buries the inner
voice silence deep conscious breathing
in that deep silence ask yourself a
question any question and in the first
seconds that follow because remember the
first seconds before the rational mind
arrives because the heart shows up two
to three seconds before the brain you’ll
be surprised at what you see and hear
there it’s one of the techniques for
hearing the inner voice
we are shepherds of our thoughts
imagination wields the power of creation
we can leave it to the subconscious self
the unconscious self to create our life
for us it turn ok ok for some not so
great for others as an artist we can
leave behind a sculpture a painting we
can leave behind photographs words poems
legacy but as creative artists our
greatest masterpiece is our life our
opportunity is in becoming conscious
participants in the creation of that
each and every one of us is writing our
own story we’ve heard that a couple of
times today becoming it’s about becoming
a conscious participant in that process
now whether you see yourself as a
creator or a co-creator it’s about
participation the art of being is
greatly enhanced through the art of
listening to life thank you very much you
