What we can do in this case is to channel the newfound energy into our goals of inspiration.
“activation ritual”. An activation ritual is a morning routine that helps them get into a state of non-thinking and flow. It helps you build momentum in a positive direction immediately when you wake up so that it’s easier to stay in that state of non-thinking for the rest of the day.
An object in motion will stay in motion. I never understood why spiritual masters and all great leaders have a morning routine until I understood the power of non-thinking and momentum.
Just like how there are no wrong keys on the piano, there are no "wrong" decisions in life.
Instead of looking for right or wrong, good or bad in the world, look for truth. Instead of trying to prove we are right and they are wrong, or how they're better and we're worse, look for the truth in what's in front of you.
True truth is not subjective. If it is "true" for one person, but not for another, then it is not universal truth.
Look for what is universally true for every single conscious human being on the planet, no matter who they are, where they're from, and what their background is. That is the true truth and that is where you'll find everything you've been searching for.
If you're confronted with something that may stir up negative emotions, go within yourself to find the source of universal truth deep within your soul.
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein
Most of the time, we already know deep down what to do in any specific situation. This is often referred to as your gut feeling, intuition, or inner wisdom. What we do is try to confirm our intuition with the external world and this is where most of the negative emotions begin to surface, wreaking havoc on our mental state because of everyone’s opinions.
(the truth is only ever within you).
The first step is realizing that you already know what to do, you just think you don’t because of fear or self-doubt.
next step is to trust your inner wisdom (Infinite Intelligence)
In short, know that you already know and if you don’t know, know that you can know what you need to know.
In a previous chapter, we talked about how we don’t need to think in order to thrive in the world and that the way we do thrive is to remove the thinking we have going on.
This state of non-thinking also means a direct connection to Infinite Intelligence.
We can be in a state of non-thinking at any point in time. The only time we can really be in a state of non-thinking is in the present moment.
This is why all of the spiritual masters and leaders always teach to meditate, pray, and to be in the present moment.
When you’re following your intuition, you’re completely tapped into something greater than your personal self. You’re in a state of non-thinking (flow) and direct connection with God. In this state, you always know what you need to do without thinking and are guided by Infinite Intelligence.
When we’re in this state, miracles occur,
Time seems to warp and bend around us, and it’s because there is no sense of it.
Every single person has experienced instances where they have felt like this before. Although many have experienced this phenomenon, very few are able to maintain it for extended periods of time.
It is only when we think we know more than God that we run into problems.
When we realize that we don’t have to control and try to force everything to happen our way, we become free from suffering, pain, and frustration and begin to fall into this state of non-thinking where things just all happen for us instead of to us.
