Connecting Dots
Sep 04, 2022
We all know the famous commencement speech Steve Jobs gave, with the enchanting words; “You can only connect the dots looking backward.”
When you have more years on your timeline, you can understand this by clearly observing your past behavioral patterns, events, and experiences. You start to know what you are, why you do certain things, and how things and yourself come to being.
You gain lessons, and if willing, you learn and let go. Eventually, growing an innate belief, trust in the universe, your gut, karma, and your life’s purpose or mission. Very logical and reasonable if you look at time in a linear, one-directional way.
But what if you look at it from a multidimensional way? Where you only really live here and now. Time non-existent or a even different concept of time than you would generally accept.
The question then becomes; can you connect the dots looking forward? Building memories from the future. Leading from - instead of towards - that which still has to emerge. Is this a possibility you can entertain?
I believe so. And as everything, it should not only be spiritual and magical but also trainable practically and naturally. Grounded in science and spirit.
The key to this practice is your attention.
Attention is the power that gives you the ability to present and sense the current moment. Current means flow, which means you are constantly moving in a dynamic non-fixed reality, never standing still.
As are you, as a being; a fluid, energetic whole, never fixed, always moving and evolving. The question then becomes; how do you want to flow or play with your attention?
What, how, and where you use your attention is the self-written code that will give you access to the future to create the eternal now.
The more you pay attention and grow awareness, the more you can learn to consciously see with clarity into this flow. You learn to ride the tidal waves of universal intentions that matches your identity’s preferences. You start recognizing the dots that you can align or connect.
The question is not what dot (event, experience, …) is wrong or suitable for you. The question is, what dots do you want to connect? What does the cosmos wish to from you? And how can you balance this?
I believe that they are the same if you are conscious enough to feel and see them. I think that herein lies your most significant potential, your highest sense of thriving and aliveness, your purest health and happiness.
The creative play of flow becomes a matter of the power of your identity, which again requires awareness and work, especially on subconscious patterns. You can want as much as you will, but if you are unaware of your unresolved blind spots, your energy will not match up to the frequency you wish to live in or resonate with. You can only fully play and create from emptiness, acceptance, and openness of your past and future.
Eventually, you can create more identities using the ones that match your current vision or surroundings the most. Switching in between. Shifting shapes. The more you play, the more feedback you get, and the more you awaken the feeling of moulding your future at the moment.
Repetition is the key. Like anything, it is practice. A practice of intuition. But when you start feeling and seeing those magical moments of synchronicity happening in front of you - more and more as you become more sensitive and sovereign in your being - you will feel truly alive and in the power of your potential. Your capacity to develop into something as you please.
