How To Programs or Energetic Containers
By Darla LeDoux, Founder of Sourced™ and Author of the books Shift The Field and Retreat and Grow Rich

“What is needed on the planet right now is people who are at a higher frequency to generously hold space for people who want to move to that frequency. Now all this can also be recorded. Frequency transmits through recordings. I’m recording right now. You’re connecting with my energy. So that’s all happening.”

Hi, this is Darla. Let’s talk today about creating how-to programs, as opposed to creating energetic programs. Shall we?

So, one of the things that is happening right now in the energy of our world and our evolution, first of all, people are seeking transformation more than ever. They are even more aware of the transformation that they’re looking for. In fact, in my upcoming book, I write about this idea of sell them what they want, give them what they need, which probably a lot of us learned early on in our business. That is, to me, no longer the way to go in the future, right? It really is.

When we are trying to bury it under selling a thing, for example, I’ve been selling retreats, right, and teaching people how to lead retreats for a long time. But what I’ve really been selling is transformation.

I keep getting the message, it’s like, just let go of any of those filters of the old way and allow this new truth to come through, which is that people are actually seeking transformation. I’ve always known this, right, but there’s been a part of me, this is how I refer to what’s hidden from our view, a part of me that bought into the common knowledge and the things I was taught about what people won’t buy. If you are one of those people who’s bought into this, I just want to give you permission to free yourself because it’s not accurate.

So back to the topic of how-to’s versus creating energetic containers. So one of the things that I’m noticing a lot for myself as I’m developing a whole new body of work around this concept of becoming Sourced™ as a leader is I am looking at what would I typically do and what does Source want me to do in this new work? One of the things I’ve always done because I saw it modeled, I was taught it, I’d taken a lot of training, all of the things, is creating specific courses work or how-to courses, right, that people could buy. Obviously the goal is for this to be evergreen, meaning it can be sold while I sleep, right? I’ve been very successful at that. I have a program called Retreat and Grow Rich. It’s an awesome program. We still sell it. It’s amazing. It walks people through how to think about their retreat-based business in a way that it’s really transformational and really profitable. That’s great, right, to have that recorded and captured where people can learn.

That being said, as we are continuing to speed up at this time, right, and things are moving much, much faster, we have less of a need for our conscious mind to understand things and more of a need for energetic containers or structures to support us as we move through rapid transformation. So I’m not saying this old way, the how-to course is not good and valuable, okay? Even Retreat and Grow Rich, my how-to course, it has an energetic component, right? When people watch the videos and the training, they’re tuning into me and my energy and my belief and my what I call a Sourcefield™, right? They’re tuning into that as part of it. Yet, the how-to is what they’re focused on, right? How do I do this retreat?

In this new world, I just want to encourage you to think about your work as energy, okay? Now, I know if you’re following me, you already think about energy. This isn’t new information. But I want you to take it a step further to say in this container, there is an energy exchange that’s happening.

Now all this can also be recorded, right? Frequency transmits through recordings. I’m recording right now. You’re connecting with my energy. So that’s all happening.

What I’ve seen again for myself and with my clients is this old way, there’s this desire to package it all pretty in a step one, step two, step three, right? Like a formulaic approach to how to get a result. It’s great to be able to take intangible concepts and put a structure to them. That’s one of the things that I see as my brilliance.

Right now, as we are moving faster and faster, it may seem harder and harder to put the structure on it and have it, or put the formula together, right, and have it be something that’s going to last over time. Because in short order, it’ll be obsolete.

So if you’re having a hard time kind of putting the step-by-step together, it may be that your soul is telling you that. There are some things that are worth capturing and automating and evergreening and selling overnight, and there are also some things that people need that it’s an energetic container that’s happening in the now, in connection to the energy of now, which is going to be different in six months or different in a year. So I’m not prescribing that this approach is better, right?

By a container, I mean, perhaps it’s a group where you have live calls, transmissions or teachings that are intuitively led in the moment for that group, those exact people need that at this time.

Perhaps you’re feeling more drawn to do this and everything in you is saying, “I should systematize. I should automate. I shouldn’t be showing up live all the time. That’s not a sustainable business.” Dah, dah, dah, dah.

Tune into what your soul wants you to know, right? What does your soul want you to know about where you’re best served right now? Sometimes when we’re over here, trying to put it in a formula or a systematic course, right, we’re in our head. We’re bringing head energy, right? Then the people receiving it, they’re thinking about it, and by the way, they’re also actively resisting it possibly.

Whereas over here, we’re in our heart, we’re in our body.

I for one have been feeling much more drawn to this direction lately. So tune in and see what are you feeling? If you are feeling a sense of resistance, maybe stop trying to make it the thing that you’re going to do over and over again. Allow it to be this potent energetic container that happens in a moment in time. Then afterwards, you can decide if you want to systemize it, right? Because you’ve got the recordings, it’s all there, and the energy is embedded and your soul will always know.

If you have trouble tuning in and discerning for yourself what’s most appropriate for you at this time, like actually hearing Source want to work through you, reach out, let us know. Message support@sourcedexperience.com and we’re happy to tell you about what we got going on that you can step into as a container at this time. I’m Darla LeDoux, founder of Sourced™, author of Shift the Field, and we’ll see you soon.

The Evolution of Manifesting
By Darla LeDoux, Founder of Sourced™ and Author of the books Shift The Field and Retreat and Grow Rich

“My relationship to manifesting and visioning totally started to change in ways that were really quite uncomfortable. In other words, I had to start to let go of any idea that I know what I should be wanting and instead allow Source to work through me.”

Hi there. This is Darla. Let’s talk about manifesting today. I’m guessing if you’re here, you’re someone who has devoted some amount of time to studying the idea of manifestation. In other words, how do we create breakthrough results in the world? How do we create unexpected results?

That’s usually how we think of manifesting. Right? It’s not that we took one step, and the next step, and the next step, and it was a linear progression, but rather our thoughts created this thing in our world.

Now, I know when I first started out as an entrepreneur I guess 11 years ago, I was learning a lot about manifesting and the Law of Attraction. I never really thought of it as the Law of Attraction, I never thought of The Secret as really a good movie, for example, but rather the Law of Vibration. Right?

I’ve always kind of held it in that way, but one of the things I’ve been noticing is that my approach to business, and goal setting, and visioning has totally flipped on its head since becoming SourcedTM, since I began the journey, long before this new brand, to what it is to actually lead from a connection to Spirit on a regular basis. My relationship to manifesting and visioning totally started to change in ways that were really quite uncomfortable. In other words, I had to start to let go of any idea that I know what I should be wanting and instead allow Source to work through me.

The reason I’m sharing this is there was a lot of stickiness and frustration. If you’re in the realm of transformation, you probably know that that’s kind of part of the deal. Right? The stickiness came as I didn’t quite know how this new way worked, and so I was trying to apply the old way to my new vibration or my new energy field, like visualizing what it is I want, journaling about it. How does it feel in my body when I have it? And then starting to work backward. What are the steps or at least what is my first step in that direction? This is great. Right?

Our mind, at least for me, my mind would come in and kind of fill in steps and, you know, mind or ego. Right? If my mind isn’t asking my intuition, most likely my mind is serving the function of my ego or holding me into safety. I started to notice that this was feeling really sticky, like I would try to do it in the old ways and it just didn’t work.

What’d happened for me, and I’m not going to go into great detail, like we teach how to become Sourced™ in our programs, what started happening for me is there was a long period of actually letting go of that old way of creating.

Now, I kind of want to say there was a long period of not creating, but that’s not actually true, because we’re never not creating, but it felt like a long period of not creating. But what it really was is I wasn’t creating in the old ways. I wasn’t insistent on here is my vision, Spirit – make it happen for me.

As I began to give that up, the feelings and experiences of the thing that I wanted would start to just come into me without even having to consciously think about the thing that I wanted or even want anything. Right?

This was all happening without my conscious control. It was really uncomfortable. I didn’t even know what to make of it.

Now, I was listening to an audio earlier this week, and one of the teachings was about how manifesting is actually speeding up. You maybe have noticed everything is speeding up on the planet. Right? I know for me I’ve noticed I can sit with something, an idea, a fleeting thought, feel it in my body, and let it go, and then there it is. It shows up. It’s much less calculated and much, much shorter timeline and also a lot less work. 

Now, what I want to suggest is a lot less work can feel really, really uncomfortable, because we’re used to working at it. Right?

I know for me I had plenty of times where I wanted to manifest something, and I did all the things, and I’m working at it, and it didn’t happen, and then I beat myself up because it didn’t happen. All of that falls away in this new mode that we’re moving into.

In short, I want to just suggest, and I would love to hear what your experience has been with this, that trying to keep manifesting in the old way may create frustration, that the new way is much faster. It’s more embodied. Right? It’s like, ah, like I feel the possibility of that moving through my cells, and then I don’t have to remember it, or hold onto it, or write it on a Post-it note, or whatever.

This tends to be uncomfortable. Right? So, in between there is this process of letting go of old, stored, stuck energies that keep us from being in connection to Source, because when we are in connection, this flows more easily. I won’t say I’ve mastered it, but I’ve acquired quite a bit of mastery in the process of letting go, letting die all of the things my ego used to think I needed to create and allowing the new process to emerge.

That’s totally possible for you. We’re loving supporting entrepreneurs to develop their own toolkit for this through our work with our Sourced™ Magic. There’s a quiz that we’ve developed, and it is in the link below. Take the quiz, and this will be an opening for how to manifest faster as we move forward in the world!

Liz Gilbert or You
By Darla LeDoux, Founder of Sourced™ and Author of the books Shift The Field and Retreat and Grow Rich

“What if you, in your aligned Sourced™ energy, were 10 times more magnetic, inspiring, compelling, valuable, than that person you admire?”

Hi there. Welcome to today’s video. Now I want you to imagine for a moment that instead of selling an offer that features you, you were selling something that featured your favorite celebrity or well-known person in your industry. Just take a moment and imagine who that might be.

Well let me take you back a few years ago, I was in just such a position. So I was living in Seattle, Washington and I had gotten this intuition.

I know I do and this was a pivotal time for me in learning about my intuition. So I got this hit around Liz Gilbert and everybody here if you don’t know who Liz Gilbert is, definitely check her out, follow her. She’s amazing. She’s the author of Eat, Pray, Love, and Big Magic, one of my favorites.

So I got this hit to check her out and I out of nowhere, right? It was just like, “Go pay attention to her.” So I went to her website and as I was looking around I noticed that she had a speaking engagement in Seattle the same week that I had an event in Seattle. She was going to be there a couple of days later. And when I saw the synchronicities, I thought, “That’s it.” “That’s what the sign is. I need her to speak at my event.”

So fast forward, I reached out, I got a hold of her booking agent and I booked her to speak at my event. And I invested a lot of money, $50,000, to have Liz Gilbert come and speak at my event.

Now, first of all, I thought it was divine guidance. So I’m like, ‘Well who am I to argue? I’m just going to trust.” Okay. So there was that aspect of it and I’ll come back to that, about how source might work through you. But the second thing that was going on is I thought, “That would be really cool to have Liz Gilbert and it’s going to make this event so easy to sell, so easy to fill because who doesn’t want to see Liz Gilbert?”

So fast forward. I have this event, I have a feature, I have a private video. You can find it on this channel of Liz Gilbert speaking to my audience that I sent out to everyone about how she was going to be there. And I’m thinking the registrations are going to just roll in. Well guess what? That actually didn’t happen. And this was my fourth event at this time.

So I’d produced various events and every single one of my earlier events was actually easier to fill than the event with Liz Gilbert. Can you believe that? I was shocked. Why would my people not be clamoring to get tickets to come spend this intimate time with her? We actually had her for a full half day. She led a workshop and coached people. It was phenomenal actually. She was really awesome. But I didn’t sell out the event and I didn’t even make my money back on that event.

And it was a few weeks before the event, maybe five or so weeks before the event, and I found myself on the phone with a colleague and I heard these words come out of my mouth. The words that came out of my mouth were, “If it weren’t for this stupid event my life would be so easy right now.”

It was one of those moments. And so I went on to reflect on that. If it weren’t for this stupid event my life would be so easy right now.

Now we could coach me around all kinds of things like calling my event stupid, for example, which wasn’t great, right? But what I actually saw is that I had felt this need to do an event and I had felt the need to make this event better than my last event, for example.

It was almost like pushing this rock uphill. Doing these things that weren’t necessarily like mine to do. So lesson number one is it was not easier to sell Liz Gilbert then to sell me because when I sell me it’s like I know me. I know how I’m going to show up, I know what I’m going to deliver, and I actually know people want it that. They hear me, they feel my energy, and they know that they want that.

Selling Liz Gilbert, I really thought the name was just going to carry the day. And I wasn’t bringing my energy in the same way that I would have had she not been there. And so it actually became harder to sell. It wasn’t Liz that was hard to sell certainly, but it was my relationship to this decision to hire her.

There was all kinds of weird, funky energy in my relationship to this decision. So I want you to think about what if you, you, yes you, in your aligned Sourced™ energy, were actually 10 times more magnetic, inspiring, compelling, valuable, then that person that you’re imagining, that you admire, that you think might be easier to sell.

So I’m curious what comes up when you hear this. Have you had an experience like this or have you ever daydreamed that if only I were someone else it would be so much easier? I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

Now I’m going to circle back to this idea that this was actually guided. I got an intuitive hit to go check out Liz Gilbert. And then when I checked her out, I saw she was going to be in my city the same time as my event.

I followed the guidance, but then watch what happens.

And it just seemed like that was the thing.

Now, funny story. And if you don’t know my story, I am married to a woman and I came out late in life. Between the time I hired Liz and the time that our event happened, Liz actually came out publicly that she was dating a woman. And so it was really, very cool. And it was cool to have her on my stage and to have that in common and be able to have that conversation. That said, perhaps the universe had just been guiding me to watch that and watch that story. But because I had this event, my mind wanted to put her into the container of this event and that this event was actually the guidance.

Since that conversation where I was on the phone with my friend and I said, “If it weren’t for this stupid event my life would be so easy right now,” I have changed everything. I’ve changed everything and starting internally. And it’s like even as I say that, I don’t think I’ve given myself proper celebration for that until this moment. So thank you for that. Because I’m feeling right now the joy and the release and the celebration of having actually changed everything. And what I mean by that is after that experience, I lost $50,000 on this event, I brought in $50,000, but I still was $50,000 in the hole.

In the years that followed, I have become Sourced™. That’s my new brand and it’s what I am on fire with passion about, helping entrepreneurs to do, which is to hear their guidance and to have a relationship with their guidance so that it’s not like, “I got this intuitive hit and now my brain takes over and I’m going to go do everything.” Knowing what I know now, if I could go back I would have inquired a little bit more. I have very powerful relationship with Source now where I would have said, “Okay. What does this mean? Does this mean have her speak at the event? Is there something else? What am I looking for? What is the message here?” But I didn’t really know and I let my brain take over.

If that sounds like you, if that sounds like something you’ve done where it almost feels like this relationship with Source is random, like your intuition might show up, it might not, or it’s going to give you limited information as opposed to being able to gather whole pictures of how to run your business through your connection to Source, reach out, message us support@sourcedexperience.com. We love supporting people in going to that next level.

When I was doing that event, my business was going really well. Like if I took that event away, I was hosting retreats, many retreats a year. I’m obviously not doing that in this moment, but everything was getting filled automatically with systems I had set up, I was meeting amazing clients every time I showed up live, I was monetizing my retreats in a really big way, and things were just flowing. So it really was easy without this thing. But I could look back at the history of my business and I could see I always had this easy flowing part in my business. I’ve been in business 11 years now. And then my ego would always come in and add things to make it challenging and complicated.

So since that event, since that wake up call, I always wake up when I lose money or the money doesn’t come the way I thought, I have simplified and committed to an easy, peaceful, what I call lazy B business. So if that sounds like you, if that sounds like something you’re into, definitely let us know. If you’ve been on this same journey please let me know in the comments. I want to know about you, I want to know how it’s changed the way you run your business and your life, I want to follow you and feature you and all of those things. I’m Darla LeDoux, founder of Sourced™ and author of Shift the Field and I’ll see you soon. Bye everyone.

Emailing Your Offer Be Like . . .
By Darla LeDoux, Founder of Sourced™ and Author of the books Shift The Field and Retreat and Grow Rich

“I want you to consider that your offer to work with you at this high-level is sacred. It’s a sacred offer. It’s a sacred invitation. … Source is with you as the coach, consultant, healer, creative. Source is guiding you and Source is guiding your client as well.”

Hey there. I’m curious if you’ve ever been in this spot where you know you want to bring in some extra cash flow and you want to do it through selling your highest-level services or a high-level offer. And you’ve done all the work to design it and you know what goes in it and how it’ll help people. And now it’s time to actually sell it. And maybe that gets a little bit scary.

And I love this moment, I love when it’s time to actually make this high-level offer because there’s something really special about this experience. However, a lot of times people get it wrong, okay. So I want to share a story that you might relate to that might help you.

I was working with this client and she had done exactly what I shared. She had developed this beautiful high-level program in a whole new niche. So she wasn’t a new business owner, she’d actually had a successful business in one area and she really felt called to transition her business and move in another direction. And so she had developed this beautiful offer and now it was time to offer it.

So we had, first, an important conversation that you always want to look at, which is… 

In other words, can you think of people who are past clients, who are already activated, like they’ve come to a webinar or a training, or they’re in your Facebook group or something? If you have an active group, something like that, where you know the people are, or if you don’t have that, you need to generate some leads.

So we had this conversation and she said, “No, I know there are people, past clients, people from these various groups I’m in.” She had been putting herself out on Facebook and so she had a lot of activity. She said, “Yeah, I feel confident. I have the people, let’s launch it.” So I said, “Great, awesome.”

And then the next time we talked, she said, “I launched it.” And I said, “Well, what does that mean?” She had taken her list of all the people that she thought were potential clients and she put them into her email, opened an email, created, put all the names in and she sent them an email. And she said, “Hey, this is what I’m doing right now. I thought you might be interested.” And she’d created a pretty PDF that outlined the program, it was really great. And she attached it to the email and she clicked send.

Guess what happened? Not a lot happened. She got some no’s back via email, and that was it. A lot of people she didn’t hear from, there was no dialogue, there was no conversation.

Now, I want to suggest to you that emailing your offer like that is like breaking up with someone that you’ve had an intimate relationship with via text message. It’s the equivalent, right? I want you to consider that this offer is just the invitation to work with you at this high-level, is sacred. It’s a sacred offer. It’s a sacred invitation. And as I said, I’ve been teaching sales for more than 10 years. And as I’ve developed my new branding and my new work, which is really around working with Source as a business owner. Source is with you as the coach, consultant, healer, creative.

And so to hold this conversation, this invitation, it doesn’t always have to be on the phone, it can happen in a lot of ways, but to really hold this invitation as sacred and Sourced™. You just know that they’re a fit for this thing.

So making a whole list and sending a group email, I mean, they didn’t know it was a group, but out and just saying, “Hey, here’s my most beautiful sacred work, what do you think,” isn’t a Sourced™ invitation. It isn’t a Sourced™ invitation. And in fact, I suggest not even providing that information, all of the details, the features of your program and the pricing, et cetera, really until you know you feel that it’s time for that sacred invitation, and that’s personal. And again, this is for the high-level work.

There are ways you can automate this. There are lots of things you can do to make that less labor-intensive, but… 

You’ve got to move through this stage where you know exactly how to do this and what they’re stepping into. So, I’m curious, what’s bubbling up for you? If you think about in one way, “Oh, I have this offer, everybody should know about it.” Or in another way, “I have this offer. I have limited space, first of all, and I only want to work with the right people who are divinely Sourced™ and connected to this exact experience.”

Can you see the energy distinction here? So start there and ask yourself, “What would it look like? In what places in my business am I just throwing it out there and where am I actually creating this sacred Sourced™ container?”

I’d love to hear what’s opening up for you just in this example, in this conversation. Make a comment below. If you haven’t yet, please subscribe. And also, there’s a link below to our quiz to really understand your style of this. So check that out. I’m Darla LeDoux, have an amazingly Sourced™ day. Bye, everyone.

Truth and Doubt in the time of Covid
By Darla LeDoux, Founder of Sourced™ and Author of the books Shift The Field and Retreat and Grow Rich

“Allow yourself to be present with doubt, to allow yourself not to know, or the need to know. Trust that Spirit, Source, God, the universe, is present in your life, guiding your life, and your experience of life.”

I am guessing if you’re watching my videos, you’re someone who is a big advocate for Truth. You look around the world, and you think, “If we could all just come from an energy of Truth, the world would be a whole different place.” I am with you. I’m Darla LeDoux. I’m the founder of Sourced™ and the developer of The Sourced™ Magic Quiz, which is a brief quiz that can shed a whole lot of light onto how to best show up and operate in your Magic.

And one of the things that is so important to me personally, in my own journey to tune in more to my own Magic, is that I consistently and willing to look at and get present with my own Truth. Now because of this, it often comes up in my work with my clients, and I do a lot of retreats. I’m the author of Retreat and Grow Rich. So retreats are really important to me. And in this last year, I’ve been doing my retreats primarily virtually.

So on a virtual retreat recently that I hosted, that was all about the theme of integrating everything that had come up during 2020 to use it as like rocket fuel or power for 2021. That was really the intention of this retreat. And so, to do that, I felt really drawn to help people identify what was their Truth in 2020.

Going down this rabbit hole brought me to one of the Gene Keys, and I’m going to read a little bit as we go here. If you’re not familiar with the Gene Keys, the Gene Keys is kind of a next level from Human Design, which I’m a big advocate for. And this particular book I’m going to read from is by Richard Rudd and he’s the developer of the Gene Keys.

So it brought me to this Gene Key of Truth. Okay, it’s Gene Key 63. And each of these Keys, I’m not going to get into whole detail. And by the way, I don’t recommend getting too heady with the Gene Keys, right? Because you can analyze things all day, and it’s not super helpful. But this 63rd Gene Key, the Siddhi, which is the highest level of enlightenment of this Key is Truth.

So each of these have this highest level enlightenment, they also have a shadow side. So if you’re here, you’re following me, you’re a lover of transformation, you probably do shadow work with your clients, so you totally get what that means. But every light or highest expression has a dark or a shadow expression.

So first of all, just that is interesting. And then the Gift of this Truth – Doubt dynamic is Inquiry. Inquiry. So, getting curious, asking questions, et cetera. That is the Gift if we really dive into this.

So the reason this came up and what feels really, really important about this in particular, looking at 2020, which different patterns have gone into 2021, right? It’s not like we turned the corner of the year and now it’s gone. I want to highlight this idea of Truth versus Doubt because it really explains what’s going on here. And so I’m going to read a little bit.

If we look at the world, it’s more polarized than ever. And everybody thinks that their Truth is the Truth, right? See, and I’m saying everybody, and it’s probably not you and I don’t mean to make a sweeping generalization. But if you look around, a lot of people are entrenched in their viewpoint, right? They have looked at what is going on, and they’ve decided, “This is what I believe, period, and I’m entrenched in my view.” So anybody who says anything that might be connected with something that is the other side, now suddenly becomes wrong. “I’m entrenched in my dogma.”

Well, here’s why this is happening. And this is so important. So the first thing we need to know is everybody has doubt, okay? And he says a huge question mark is literally wired into the human brain. Your brain is designed to doubt. So I want you to get this. First of all, our brain is designed to doubt. We’re built-in with this doubting device. Why? Because when we are in doubt, then we get into Inquiry.

Oh, okay. What is this doubt about? How could I further my own evolution because I have doubt? And so we’re seeking Truth because we have doubt. And it’s part of how we evolve as humans. It’s that we’re actually designed this way, okay?

So it can be a driving force. It can be positive, right? A driving force in evolution forward. He says, “However, the problem with Doubt is that it doesn’t go away. Doubt sits there deep within the neurocircuitry of every human brain, where it causes a huge unconscious pressure. When seen purely for what it is, Doubt is simply the word humans give to this constant mental pressure.”

Now, I want you to think about this. When you go to launch something or you’re thinking about your business, your messaging, “Can I trust my intuition? Do I dare to say that?” It’s Doubt. Doubt is creating this internal mental pressure and it’s normal.

“Although this pressure behaves differently from one human to another, the one consistency is that it drives each of us to try to bring an end to the pressure.” So think about that. We want to get it right. We want to find more information. We want to know the Truth. “If I just have the Truth, this Doubt will go away and then I can be all I came here to be.”

“We humans cannot easily accept this never-ending feeling of being unsettled somewhere deep inside. For most of us, the need for mental certainty results in our taking a firm set of beliefs or values that provide a barrier against the Doubt inside our mind.” I’m going to say that again. “…results in our taking on a firm set of beliefs and values that provide a barrier against the Doubt inside our mind.”

So think about that, right? As a business, you have values, right? And okay, “If I have those values, now I know who I am as compared to who everybody else is. And that’s what I need to stay safe. If I am in Doubt, I go to my values.” And that’s great. That’s healthy, okay? We continue to inquire and we get the answer, right? It comes as an illumination from within. Truth comes as an illumination from within not an answer from without. When we’re asking these questions with curiosity, with Inquiry.

He goes on to say our conundrum, right? He says, “In a sense, we have been conned by nature because there is no answer to our Doubt. Our attempts to end our mental anxiety have forced the brain to evolve even further. This is how our anxiety serves evolution. But the other important aspect about Doubt is that though it is truly impersonal, we humans make it personal.”

So we all have Doubt. It’s impersonal, meaning it’s common among every human. But we make it personal.

So look around, and I’m getting to why this pertains to 2020 and kind of where we’re going.

So we make it personal, and our society says, “If you Doubt, you can’t be a business owner. If you don’t have the answer, if you’re not sure, if you don’t have evidence and proof, then you’re not good enough.” And so our culture has started to override this universal Truth that we all have Doubt. And we should because it’s healthy. So we make it personal.

“If Doubt serves genuine Inquiry, then it becomes creative. But if it becomes personal and or internalized, it becomes destructive.” It becomes destructive, so look around the world. “If you do not use your mind in a creative way, the pressure either becomes a projection onto someone or something outside, or it collapses inward and becomes self-Doubt. It is self-Doubt that so undermines the individual from trusting in his or her own inherent creativity.” Okay, self-Doubt undermines us from being creative or we project it out, okay?

Now he says, this is just a tip. “The best thing we can do with self-Doubt is share it with others.” So let me just tell you, I have all sorts of self-Doubt about all kinds of things. And I just want you to know that, okay? I get the feeling in my stomach and it makes me wonder, can I deliver? Can I show up? That still happens, okay? So I’m just demonstrating this, right?

“So the very best thing we can do with self-Doubt is to share it with others. In doing so, you can embrace it and allow it to move through.” It doesn’t own you when you can see it and know it, especially if you can see it as a normal part of humanity.

“If an individual succumbs to the pressure of Doubt, the other direction he or she can take at the shadow frequency is to repress it through dogma and opinion. It can be used to construct a false logical reality that gives the mind the answers to the Doubt.”

So taking it the other way, if we succumb to this pressure of Doubt, we go to dogma and opinion. So, that’s exactly what I’m saying that we have been seeing everywhere, right? “At the shadow frequency, all the human mind wants is certainty. And if it cannot find it, it will manufacture it.”

So, I would say we can all agree we’ve had a massive year of uncertainty. Am I right? The whole last year, starting in March or February, uncertainty, uncertainty, uncertainty. So it makes perfect sense that given so much uncertainty, and this little Doubt mechanism that happens in the brain that creates Inquiry to help us find Truth, when it gets overloaded, it literally has been short-circuited for so many people this year, we go to opinion, dogma. And that is why you see what’s happening in the world because people aren’t aware that Doubt is a normal part of the human condition.

So what does this have to do with us? My call to you and to myself is to allow yourself to be present with the Doubt, to allow yourself not to know. To allow yourself not to need to know. To actually trust that Spirit, Source, God, the universe, is present in your life, is guiding your life, is guiding our experience of life.

And I’m not saying this to meditate and bypass being on this earthly plane and showing up and operating where you feel called to operate, even if you have Doubt, where you feel called, and where you feel drawn. What I’m saying is, if we let this Doubt override our circuitry, now we go into being entrenched in one way. And we’re not able to show up and respond as Spirit is guiding us, right?

We’re so in fear that now we’re like, “You’re right. You’re wrong. You’re right. You’re wrong,” and we can’t be present to being our own creation on the planet, being in our own individual Truth because there isn’t one Truth out there. And our doubting mind is never going to be satisfied, right?

And in my company, we have a whole process designed for that to help you transform default energies into Sourced™ energies so that you feel in flow and in confidence of how you’re showing up in the world, even when all of these things are happening, because it’s personal, right? The Doubt is not personal, but your Truth is personal. Your purpose is personal.

And just by looking around and trying to figure out how to avoid Doubt in the world, you’re never going to tune into that personal purpose, but with the right guidance and being able to look at and be with this Doubt and your specific type and nature of Doubt and allow it to be there, and in the meantime, use your energy for good and for what you feel called for, that is a Gift. It’s a skillset. It is a practice and a discipline, and we love supporting people in stepping into that.
