What would be important for me to know is that I am a soul having a human experience. Repeating "I am" would be benificial.

I listened to this one twice. I applied the meditation to a trauma I experienced as a teen over 50 years ago. As a result of this experience nothing could be any other way in the present regardless that I just don't like it. I substituted elements of my trauma experience into that of your tree analogy. It took a lot of pondering on this before I could step back and allow myself to finally be okay with being a table while still being passionate about being a chair. Looking back with awareness at my transformation from where I desired to be to where I actually ended up brought me a feeling of lightness. The burden of lamenting over this for 50 years melted away as I progressed through the meditation the second time around. to that I am a soul having a human experience changed my perspective.

Brian, I am greatful for your healing service. You are a gift from the Universe to the Universe. Your time spent on these meditations is greatly appreciated. I feel very fortunate that you have crossed my path. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

My awareness is not aware of any perceiving thoughts at this time. 😄

This meditation was a reminder for me to move from my head to my heart more often. Moving to my heart is a form of letting go - accessing my true self & feeling the ever present love, goodness within. My mind and body do not define the true essence of me.

Did you have this coming to you in a dream or maybe was it during a different kind of meditation or some other kind of inspiration?

❤

A lot of past memories showed up, and i watched myself move through them until the now moment and with the what i need to know right now is that right here and now im okay and even that thought is something being handed to me

Thanks, Brian. Love your calming vibes. Take care, my friend 🙏

Thank you for providing this amazing meditation 🧘‍♀️ ❤

Thank you for this exercise / meditation, Brian. My guess is that I was not fully presenced during the meditation based on my experience while watching this video. It was obvious to me that "nothing could be other than it is" AND my mind was still judging how things are in my current reality as unwanted, undesirable, and unfair. I can seem to accept my reactions and forgive my past and current selves due to seeing how past conditioning and traumas have affected me, but I still just DON'T LIKE IT. It is all "ok" in my mind (meaning "of course I am the way I am!!") and yet I hate how things are now, which is exactly how I felt when thinking of the time period that the way I am now started to form (which was in young childhood). When doing step #3, I felt that if things were the opposite back then, that I would now be able to fully express myself easily and clearly to others, that I would be accepted and understood by them, and therefore I would be loved and acknowledged, and belong to a group of people who deeply appreciated me and my input. Contemplating how my life would be different now if things had been the opposite back then just made me feel even more angry, irritated, frustrated, annoyed, disgusted, and disappointed, which was the feeling/thinking state from my answer to step #1. At the end of this exercise, I was basically in a feeling / thinking state of the original wound from the past: "I hate my life. Nobody loves me. This sucks. I want to die." Like I said, I don't think I was fully sourcing Presence through the exercise otherwise I probably would have deeply sank into a sense of forgiveness for all that was/is/will be and the sense of freedom that comes with that. The most helpful thing for me to know was: "You are loved no matter what". That's a hard one to swallow still, even after having experienced states of unconditional love and spiritual bliss many times in the past along my journey. 🙏🏼 Rebecca B.

In doing this meditation I found it really hard to do step #3. Changing the conditions to the opposite of what I remember them to be. Once I plowed through an imediate feeling of freedom persued. I felt as if the shackles I had placed upon myself were ripped away. My "conditioning" began in early childhood and I found it interesting how ingrained those feelings of being not good enough still linger in the now.

My takeaway... First of all, the understanding or perhaps the awareness of the WHY nothing could be other than it is or in this instance why I could not be other than I am in the present moment was very comforting. The one word that came to mind after doing step #3 , changing the conditions and reversing things was freedom. Freedom I suppose is a lot like peaceful. My focus on the meditation was perfectionism and how it influences my decision making and so many times gets in my way. What do I most need to know? I most need to know that there is no such thing as perfect but if there were... I am already that.

I reflected on my state being that of observing opportunity cost. Meaning when I choose some thing and take action, I am consistently noticing what I couldn’t do because I took that action. Energy I am using to do that may not be balanced. And I’m still reflecting on it couldn’t be any other way than it is. my mind naturally goes to all the alternatives of the way that it could be, but of course it can’t be any other way than it is so that is worth noodling on

I spent a lot of time making decisions and acting based on my core values. And I also think another bucket is programs or myths that society has created like gender and achievement and what is “good or bad “this caused me to think that my programs are so much moredefault to me than my values and I really want to change that. I spend a lot of time thinking about my core values and trying to make decisions around those so why is it so easy to just go back to the program? Just pondering that question is such a great exercise

Love the aha “I am not inherently bad.” The Christian concept of original sin is so ingrained and releasing that concept is so liberating. I find myself falling back into the trap too often.

Trying to understand your step #4. If “each way” is referring to step #2 AND step #3, I am struggling with how step #3 “keeps you from being any other way in the present”.

I went through this process twice bringing me even more awareness. There are these brief windows in time, where I can see and feel a song singing through my heart of who I am and what is mine to be doing as if I can almost grasp the echoes of songbirds through a gentle breeze then slips away. It’s as though the song has always existed only showing itself as different reflections of light at different times. Then I look at the contract to sign for a room rental agreement for a developmental trauma support circle for the umpteenth time. I’m asking myself why this time will be any different than all the other similar failed attempts. What if no one comes and I have to pay for the rent myself? My passion is strong but my vital energy is low. Who am I anyway? “Nothing could be other than it is” - ya sure - right! Acceptance - ha! Half my life is behind me and this is not where I wanted to be. I should’ve done a whole lot better, knew better. I don’t want to just be a victim of my conditioning. I want to be the creator of my reality and control how things turn out. I beat myself up, if only…. I hadn’t…. I can see given past experiences why I would be hesitating moving forward. My life got turned totally upside down and I feel completely beaten down. It makes total sense but hearing those words offers me no relief - after all - I allowed this mess to happen. I trusted someone who let me down, I ignored the signs, I rationalized, I was attached to the fantasy but I thought I could somehow be the exception. I would prove to be the greatest healer ever, rewrite all my child failings (as if they were really mine) and I would blossom into the most radiant glorious expression of myself riding on the back of a unicorn, wind blowing in my hair into the sunset. (How grandiose of me) I would turn my property into the most beautiful sanctuary for others to come find peace. Ugh, why can't I get there already? I would prove myself to be able to handle the very worst and rise triumphant to receive my shinning gold star and live happily ever after in endless adoration. I would be the exception, yet I saw myself as extremely flawed. My mind landed back to the first grade when I was put in special ed. Why was I put in special ed? I wasn’t having difficulty in school and besides that’s for retarded kids. Am I retarded? My mom started giving me extra school work to do when I got home from school. It was horribly grueling. My parents had no interest in the things I wanted to do. My dad got upset with my apparent intellectual inaptitude. Maybe there really was something wrong with me. Shut up - go away - stop daydreaming - I’m right, you’re wrong - get to work - it’s you’re fault - didn’t they teach you this in school? There were rules, I obeyed the rules, thinking that one day, only if….. Of course nothing can be other than it is. Look at the rules, I followed. What if things had been different? What if I was encouraged and supported to discover my own talents and pursue my own interests? I probably would have had a very different path. I might have explored the performing arts, sang, danced, painted and possibly even been on stage. (Gasp…no... me? Be seen?) and I probably wound’t have quite the zeal for the healing arts that I have today. And forget about engineering physics, oh my goodness, what was I even thinking? I asked again what is it I need to hear? “I am not God.” Yep, it’s true, I’m not God. I am not that exceptional (to be God) and yet I am exceptional. That is a sense of relief, what a burden.

I have been prone to looking backward in my life at how everything from childhood trauma to adult decisions have altered my path , in challenging ways. During this mediation I found freedom in recognizing accepting the present moment and all that brought me here. There was release from the illusion of “if only this or that had been different”.

During this meditation, I focused on how my tendency to not disappoint others (aka people please) influences my decisions and actions. This character defect brings me feelings of deep shame, doubt, worry, and fear. For me, not disappointing others means not disappointing myself. I get approval from others - and therefore, based on this approval, I conceive myself as worthy, accepted, and lovable. I was able to focus on this way of being starting in my young childhood (conditioned by my caregivers). In that moment, it made sense to me that, of course I am a people pleaser! - of course I want everyone else to approve of me and not to disappoint! It was a very validating moment for me. People pleasing was one of wise survival mechanisms I developed as a child to find some sense of worth and love that I was not receiving from my caregivers in the way that I needed as a child. So, right now, due to my past, it couldn’t be any other way. The way I am right now couldn’t be any different. This idea promoted a sense of self-acceptance within myself. I felt a sense of relief and a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. This has been helping me to reduce the shame I feel - and replace it with "this is who I am" right now in this very moment. I am not inherently bad. I am not inherently flawed. It's not my fault. ANDI can change if I want to... This awareness gives me not only the freedom, but also the responsibility, to slowly start changing what influences my decisions and actions. I need to continue to build my well of love from within so I am not so dependent on other's approval of myself and my actions. As it was stated in the meditation, I am finding myself letting go a little, dialing down the inner criticism and judgment towards myself because "things couldn’t be any different, things couldn’t be any other way, nothing could be other than it is...(AND it will also never be this way again...)." I would love to hear what came up for others! Such a profound concept!!

This made me feel so awakened into myself 💙.

I feel complete peace ❤

Just finished this meditation. Thank you, my Friend, for the opportunity of observing memories & experiences coincidently. ‘Able to sweep thru this incarnation freely. Observing memories and experiences freely simply by choice. The constraints and ordering of Time were not in play. No restrictions. It was quite delightful discarding the time and ordering of things. Everything existed at once yet, was not chaotic. All was freely manageable. I’m considering the implications of the experiences of this meditation as applied on a Universal stage. I’m considering the implications to observe others in this same way. Seeing the open dynamics of another’s life on this plane. Utilizing that awareness to aid them in their journey. Not so much to lead, rather to walk beside, affording them the sense of comfort, feeling they are not alone.
