Finding Your Way in a Wild New World

1. Embrace Wordlessness to Access Your True Nature

"Wordlessness shifts consciousness out of the verbal part of the brain and into the more creative, intuitive, and sensory brain regions."

Wordlessness is the foundation of reclaiming your true nature and becoming a wayfinder. It involves silencing the constant chatter of your mind and accessing a state of pure awareness. This state allows you to process information at a much higher rate – 11 million bits per second compared to the mere 40 bits per second of verbal thinking.

To practice Wordlessness:

• Focus on physical sensations, like feeling the inside of your hands
• Broaden your attention to include your entire visual field
• Follow your own bloodstream, feeling your pulse throughout your body

Regular practice of Wordlessness will lead to:

• Increased peace and inner strength
• Enhanced intuition and problem-solving abilities
• Greater connection to your true self and the world around you

2. Experience Oneness to Connect with the World Around You

"We are basically energy vibrating at different frequencies, unbounded and overlapping."

Oneness is the realization that everything in the universe is interconnected. It's the experience of dissolving the boundaries between yourself and the world around you. This state of consciousness allows you to communicate and interact with your environment in ways that seem almost magical.

To practice Oneness:

• Observe the energy of people and objects around you
• Try to bend a spoon using only your intention and focus
• Communicate with animals through mental imagery

Benefits of experiencing Oneness include:

• Enhanced empathy and understanding of others
• Improved ability to influence your surroundings
• A deeper sense of peace and connection to all things

3. Unleash Your Imagination to Solve Problems and Create

"Imagination is the way we write code on the energetic Internet, formulating new ideas, actions, and objects."

Imagination is the bridge between the formless realm of ideas and the physical world. It's the tool that allows you to envision new possibilities and solutions to problems. By harnessing your Imagination, you can create innovative ideas and bring them into reality.

Techniques to enhance your Imagination:

• Practice metaphorical thinking, seeing connections between unrelated things
• Use guided visualizations to explore potential futures
• Engage in deep play and adventurous experiences

Powerful Imagination leads to:

• Innovative problem-solving abilities
• Enhanced creativity in all areas of life
• The ability to envision and create a better future

4. Form Your Desires into Reality Through Action

"Forming is like printing out a page of a website you've created, or causing a machine to physically move around based on its computer programming."

Forming is the process of bringing your Imagined ideas into physical reality. It's the final step in the wayfinder's journey, where you take concrete actions to manifest your desires. Forming requires a delicate balance of intention and detachment, allowing things to unfold naturally while taking inspired action.

Steps to effective Forming:

1. Clearly Imagine what you want to create
2. Release attachment to the outcome
3. Take inspired action when opportunities arise
4. Remain open to unexpected ways your desires may manifest

Mastering Forming leads to:

• The ability to create tangible results from your ideas
• Increased synchronicity and "lucky" occurrences in your life
• A sense of flow and ease in bringing your visions to life

5. Discover Your Unique Art by Examining Your Passions

"Your art, as opposed to art in general, is any way your unique true nature expresses itself in the world of Form."

Your unique art is the expression of your true nature in the world. It's the thing you've spent countless hours perfecting, often without even realizing it. Discovering your art is crucial to finding fulfillment and making a meaningful contribution to the world.

To identify your unique art:

• List activities you've spent 10,000 hours or more practicing
• Examine what fascinates you and brings you joy
• Consider skills you've developed to overcome personal challenges

Benefits of pursuing your unique art:

• Increased sense of purpose and fulfillment
• The ability to make a living doing what you love
• A natural way to help and inspire others

6. Use Your Suffering as a Path to Healing Others

"Count on it: whatever you're suffering is leading you toward your life's purpose."

Personal suffering can be transformed into a powerful tool for healing others. The challenges and pain you've experienced in life give you unique insights and empathy that can be used to help those facing similar struggles.

Ways to use your suffering as a healing path:

• Identify the most significant challenges you've overcome
• Develop skills and knowledge related to those challenges
• Share your experiences and wisdom with others who are struggling

Transforming suffering into healing leads to:

• A sense of meaning and purpose in your pain
• The ability to connect deeply with others
• Personal growth and continued healing for yourself

7. Adapt to the Changing Economy by Offering Your Mender's Art

"In this new economy, where manual labor and knowledge work will be so mechanized they won't require much human input, the most profitable products and services won't be high tech but 'high concept' and 'high touch.'"

The modern economy values creativity, empathy, and unique human skills more than ever. As a wayfinder, your ability to offer healing, inspiration, and meaningful experiences puts you in a prime position to thrive in this new landscape.

Strategies for offering your mender's art:

• Identify your unique skills and how they can help others
• Use technology to reach your "tribe" of like-minded individuals
• Create products or services that offer high-touch, personalized experiences

Advantages of embracing your role as a mender in the new economy:

• Increased job security through offering irreplaceable human skills
• The ability to make a living doing work that truly matters
• Opportunities to create positive change in the world
