Going On A Walk Within Yourself

On December 27th, of 2020, we published an essay.

The essay was titled “4 More Unconventional Ways To Expand Your Mind.”

Just as you might imagine, this essay was about “expanding your mind.”

Or, more specifically, it was about four methods you can use to go beyond your habitual patterns.

Our goal, with ths essay, is to take the third method.

And, in taking the third method, to expand on it.

Going On A Walk

You can go on a walk.

And, in going on a walk, all things are possible.

Or, well, not really.

Even so, though, a walk serves as a truly wonderful channel through which endless possibilities can flow.

You can find three “quests” right below.

Each one of these quests serves as a walk that you can enjoy and, in enjoying, use to understand.

To understand your limitless creative power.

Quest 01: You Are Receiving A Message

Select a time in which you can go on a walk.

A nice, long walk.

Right before you begin this walk, allow yourself to take on an assumption.

Just assume, as it were, that the following idea is true: you are being told something very, very important.

Something that is so very important, it concerns your life, your future, and your destiny.

But, and this is crucial, the message you are receiving is not negative or cynical or fearful.

Rather, this is a message of richness, abundance, possibility, and inspiration.

Just allow yourself to assume this — and, if you can’t really assume it, then pretend, as it were, that you are; allow yourself to be childlike — and, upon doing so, go on a walk.

All throughout your walk, pay very close attention.

Give your attention to that which you experience, think, feel, and notice.

And, as you do so, allow your mind to flow back to the assumption that you have chosen.

If you do this, then it is very, very likely that you will discover something.

Something very, very special that, if applied or embraced, will allow you to live the life you truly wish to live.

Quest 02: You Are Speaking To The World

Our second quest is not unlike the first quest.

Rather than assuming that the world is giving you a very, very important message, though, you must take on another assumption: you are speaking to the world, through your emotions, feelings, and thoughts.

Give yourself the space and time necessary to do this.

Just like our first quest, allow yourself to notice what happens, when you take on this assumption.

If you do this, then it is very likely that you will notice a correlation, of one sort or another, between the “inner” and, in turn, your experience of the “outer.”

You can use this correlation in any way that you would like to.

Quest 03: You Are The Creator

Our third quest is not unlike the first two quests.

But, this time, you must walk within the assumption that you are, in fact, the creator of your experience.

Every single thing within your life, and your experience of the world, is an emanation from you.

No, this does not mean that you are the only mind that exists, or that the world is unreal.

Rather, what it does mean is that you, as a creative power, can choose what to experience within this moment.

Just walk in this assumption and allow yourself to notice what arises.

You can then use what it is that you experience in the manner that you choose.

Conclusion
