When I was in a strange place a fews years ago, I created a way out without actually changing the setting, people or activities. I felt very defeated and useless. So I remembered times when I felt powerful, intelligent, able in all ways and strong. From here I invented a story or a scene where I would have a sense of comfort and passion. For me, it was sitting on a zeppelin that I stole with some incredible human beings on a ridiculous escapade. The zeppelin was part of a secret empire’s program that would create military slaves. The place we sat was a beautiful meditation grounds and library in Thailand filled with beautiful floating hills and pillars jetting out of the water. All the characters with me were people who recognized the greatness in me and I was able to see and understand them. It is a fantasy and being stuck in a fantasy is not a healthy thing however that state of mind is brilliant and can be kept with me.
So I would take three big deep and hard breaths then let myself sit in that place in my mind. Feelings and temperament of this place became skin fit to me, normalcy changed. Then I would open my eyes and walk this world but with the same mindset. It was just like someone who has just won the lottery, gotten laid, read an amazing book. I was invigorating to be around and ecstatic without evidence or expectation but not lost in my head, simply stoked on world with a fully loaded state of mind. There are two tricks to keeping this state of mind in order.
The people around you are your ocean and if you fuck with the tides the sea will beat you down. This can be a conflict quick to resolution of many kinds. You can fall back into the way they expect of you or you can change their minds with your resolve. Often this resolve will insult them but always surprise them, so key is to stick to that state of mind and not lean on the world of old to support the you of new. The other problem is that you can easily fall too much into expecting yourself to be this great and will deny evidence to the contrary. That riddle needs you keeping your ego in check because it is caused by the desire for credit and praise. You simply are that good, there is no proof needed nor rewards expected. A state of mind like this doesn’t need backing up but the claims a cocky and needy mind makes will need evidence and social praise for that.
One very big issue in holding this state of mind is not behavior but poise. People, including ourselves, react to people based in majority on how they hold themselves. Posture, gaze, weight distribution, hand movement, all that jazz. There is a whole science to it but as we are human we naturally know it without even thinking about it and we often don’t realize we’re reacting to it. So imagine how you would yourself this state of mind. I would have remember that I was wearing a cape of pride and standing an unsteady ground because a zeppelin is incredible but not safe. The emotional settings and vision of a person react not only with the people looking at you but upon yourself. Remember to hold steady in your body language because you are talking to your body not just fronting to others.
I later found out that this was sort of a thing already. Quantum jumping works in the presumption that there are as many universes as there are possibilities and in one of them you are doing the great things and being the great you that you want to me. It suggests using your mind to jump to this place and then poof, you find that universe. If that works better as a tool for you, then do that. This is how I figured it and quantum jumping has more resources than my nameless idea. I do suggest you try it.
