Like most great spiritual teachers he’s a storyteller.

Often avoiding direct answers his stories convey what you need.

I met with him to discuss a leap I was making.

Back then I felt stuck.

There were moves I didn’t know how to make.

Things I wasn’t able to do.

I only knew to continue.

To Transform

After we met I sat in a filmed studio session he was hosting.

I don’t recall where he started but like a dream soon we had arrived here.

“Do you know the caterpillar doesn’t become a butterfly?” he provoked the audience.

When the caterpillar goes into its chrysalis it doesn’t know why.

It’s living its nature.

Building a protective shell encasing itself inside.

It cannot know why.

Nor what it will emerge to be.

We received a bunch of emails on this article, When You Must Smash It, basically asking the same thing—

How can I better do this for myself?

Great question.

Let’s smash it!

Perfect Practice

It’s often said that practice makes perfect, but this is wrong.

Practice makes permanent.

Perfect practice makes perfect.

Of course in these articles and even my Masterclasses it’s near impossible to convey how to perfectly use these methods.

Reading even 100 top books on boxing is likely far less valuable than one hour training with a pro.

That’s said, let’s Smash It further.

Chasing around a laser light thinking it’s real.

Shine it on the floor they paw after it like a mouse.

Put it on the wall, they climb up.

Are They Confused?

Maybe they know it’s a game?

An illusion projected from a device?

Perhaps they play anyways because it’s fun?

They are of course just cats, easily confused by what is real.

Yet are they really much different to kids playing made up games?

No care what is real or make believe, just running around having fun.

What happens to us adults?

Have We Forgotten The Play?

I feel I should avoid going deep here.

To say real-ity is an illusion.

Just a light shining through a human machine.

Yet even on a shallow level us adults have mostly forgotten the play.

Taking all this oh so seriously​, pawing after “real” things to really change how we feel.

We think…

When I get that house or job or lover or 3 drinks in me, now I’ll be having more fun.

Although our greatest human knowledge tells us that’s the illusion…

We’ve never been taught to really live our dream.
