Being You, Changing the World

1. Being You is the Key to Changing Everything

What if you, truly Being you, is all it takes to change EVERYTHING — your life, everyone around you and the world?

Authenticity as a Catalyst. The core message is that being your true self is the most potent force for change. This isn't about conforming to societal expectations or striving for an ideal, but about embracing your unique energy and expressing it fully. The book challenges the notion that personal transformation requires immense effort or external validation.

Limitations as unrecognized greatness. Every limitation you've ever thought you had was simply a greatness that you couldn’t yet recognize. This perspective reframes perceived flaws as untapped potential, encouraging self-acceptance and exploration. It invites readers to question the judgments they hold about themselves and to consider that their differences are their strengths.

Wake up and step up. The book serves as a call to action, urging readers to awaken from the autopilot of societal conditioning and step into their power. It emphasizes that being you means receiving everything, being everything, knowing everything, and perceiving everything, a state of limitless possibility.

2. Question Everything, Conclude Nothing

This is not a book of answers! I am not a guru. I am not perfect, and I don’t have any answers for you. I only have questions.

The Power of Inquiry. The book champions the power of questions over the pursuit of answers. It suggests that questions open doors to new possibilities, while answers often create limitations. This approach encourages readers to challenge their assumptions and explore different perspectives.

Shut up and listen. The author suggests that after asking a question, one should "SHUT UP" and allow the energy of the universe to pervade. This isn't about finding the right answer, but about opening oneself to the energy and awareness that the question evokes.

Great questions to ask:

• How does it get any better than this?
• What's right about this I'm not getting?
• What would it take to change this?
• What else is possible?
• What would it take for this to turn out better than I could have imagined?
• Who am I today and what grand and glorious adventures am I going to have?

3. Your Body: A Sensate, Sensory Organism

You are not your body. You are an infinite being, not a body.

Beyond Physicality. The book challenges the identification of self with the physical body. It posits that you are an infinite being, far greater than your physical form, and that your body is a separate entity with its own consciousness. This perspective encourages a more collaborative and respectful relationship with the body.

Communicate with your body. The book advocates for conscious communication with your body, asking it what it desires and honoring its needs. This includes everything from food and movement to clothing and companionship.

Lightness and Truth:

• Light = True. You Just KNOW.
• Something that’s true for you always makes you feel lighter. A lie always makes you feel heavier.

4. Receiving is the Key to Abundance

Consciousness includes everything and judges nothing.

The Art of Allowing. The book emphasizes the importance of receiving as a fundamental aspect of abundance. It challenges the notion that giving is superior to receiving and encourages readers to open themselves to the gifts of the universe.

Beyond this reality. This reality is dedicated to the total exclusion of receiving. Everything here is based on “If I give you this, what do I get?” and “If I accept this, what do I have to give you?”

The Universe is Gifting. The Universe is constantly trying to gift to you, but you have to be willing to receive. This involves letting go of barriers and limitations and embracing the energy of possibility.

5. Caring is a Potency, Not a Weakness

It’s not your caring that’s responsible for your hurting and your pain. It’s where you cut off your caring—for you and them—that causes hurting and pain.

Reclaiming Caring. The book reframes caring as a strength rather than a weakness. It challenges the societal conditioning that encourages emotional detachment and emphasizes the importance of embracing your capacity for empathy and compassion.

Caring for you. The author suggests that cutting off caring for others ultimately leads to cutting off caring for yourself. This perspective encourages self-compassion and self-acceptance as essential components of personal well-being.

Humanoids vs. Humans:

• Horse people: humanoids.
• Cow people: humans.
• Humanoids (you) get that being different is actually valuable.

6. Relationships: Communion, Not Confinement

I define relationship as: “the degree of distance (or separation) between two objects.”

Redefining Connection. The book offers a unique perspective on relationships, defining them as the degree of distance between two objects. This challenges the traditional view of relationships as mergers of identity and encourages individuals to maintain their individuality within a partnership.

The Five Elements of Intimacy:

1. Honoring
2. Trust
3. Allowance
4. Vulnerability
5. Gratitude

Beyond Love. The book suggests that gratitude, caring, and no judgment are more valuable than love in creating fulfilling relationships. This perspective challenges the societal obsession with romantic love and encourages a more balanced and compassionate approach to connection.

7. Sexualness: An Energy of Creation, Not Just Copulation

Sexualness includes: healing, caring, nurturing, joyful, generative, creative, expansive and orgasmic energy.

Beyond the Physical. The book distinguishes between sexuality and sexualness, defining the latter as a broader energy of creation, joy, and vitality. This perspective encourages readers to embrace their sensuality and to express it in ways that are not solely focused on physical intimacy.

Sexualness vs. Sexuality:

• Sexualness: Healing, caring, nurturing, expansive, joyful, generative, creative and orgasmic energy of being.
• Copulation: Putting the body parts together.

Orgasmic Living. The book advocates for orgasmic living, a state of being where every experience is infused with joy, pleasure, and vitality. This isn't about constant sexual arousal, but about embracing the fullness of life and finding pleasure in everyday moments.

8. Death as a Choice, Life as a Demand

If death were a choice, instead of a wrongness, could you then Fully Live?

Reclaiming Death. The book challenges the societal fear of death and reframes it as a choice rather than an inevitability. This perspective encourages readers to live more fully by acknowledging their mortality and making conscious decisions about how they want to spend their time.

Drop-dead date. The book explores the idea that people may unconsciously set an expiration date for their lives, and encourages readers to examine whether they have such a limitation in place.

The Choice to Live. The book emphasizes that choosing to live is an active decision that requires conscious effort and a willingness to embrace the fullness of life. This includes letting go of limiting beliefs and embracing new possibilities.

9. Magic Exists: You Are the Embodiment of It

You as a being—when you’re truly being you—create magic!

Beyond the Mundane. The book encourages readers to recognize and embrace their inherent capacity for magic. This isn't about performing tricks or illusions, but about creating positive change and manifesting desired outcomes through your unique energy and awareness.

Judgment Kills Magic. The book identifies judgment as one of the biggest obstacles to experiencing magic. It encourages readers to let go of their fixed points of view and to embrace the unknown with curiosity and openness.

The Diary of Magic. The book suggests keeping a diary to document instances of magic in your life. This practice helps to cultivate gratitude and to recognize the power of your own being.

10. The Kingdom of We: Inclusion Over Aloneness

You can either create the kingdom of me (aloneness) or the kingdom of We (Oneness). Which would you rather choose?

Beyond Individualism. The book challenges the notion that personal success requires isolation and competition. It advocates for a kingdom of We, a state of interconnectedness and collaboration where everyone benefits from each other's growth and well-being.

The Power of Oneness. The book emphasizes that true oneness involves the inclusion of everyone and everything, without judgment. This perspective encourages readers to embrace diversity and to recognize the value of different points of view.

The 100th Monkey Phenomenon. The book references the 100th Monkey Phenomenon as an example of how collective consciousness can create widespread change. This encourages readers to believe in their ability to contribute to a more positive future.

11. Earth Needs Consciousness, Not Saving

As the title suggests, this book is written from the awareness that you, being you, will truly change not only your life, but also the world.

Beyond Environmentalism. The book challenges the traditional approach to environmentalism, which often focuses on guilt and sacrifice. It suggests that the Earth needs consciousness, not saving, and that the most effective way to protect the planet is to raise awareness and to promote responsible choices.

The Earth is Facilitating. The Earth is constantly trying to facilitate consciousness, even through natural disasters. This perspective encourages readers to view the Earth as a partner in evolution and to listen to its wisdom.

Toxic Waste. The book identifies anger, rage, judgment, and separation as the greatest toxic wastes on the planet. It encourages readers to let go of these destructive emotions and to embrace compassion, understanding, and connection.
