Episode Transcript

Greg Kuhn (00:12):
Hello wonderful souls and welcome to Manifest the Big
Stuff.
I'm Greg Kuhn, your friendlyneighborhood law of attraction
science guy, writer, speaker,podcaster and intentional
manifesting coach.
I'm excited to be with youtoday because this is the fifth

(00:33):
episode of a new Manifest theBig Stuff series called Change
your Beliefs, change your Life.
The purpose of this series isto document the way working my
belief-raising process changedmy reality the last time I used
it.
The process grew my inheritedbeliefs into alignment with my

(00:57):
desired version of reality,since our beliefs manifest the
form, function, meaning andvalue of our entire version of
reality.
As my beliefs grew, as I workedmy belief-raising process, my

(01:18):
reality automatically changed.
When a system changes, afterall, it always changes its
environment.
So the first episode of thisseries starts with my very first
writing session about how Ireally felt about the statement

(01:44):
I am God.
My first writing session peggedme squarely at feeling worried
and nervous about the statementI am God on my emotional
reference chart, which is anascending list of emotional

(02:05):
states that I use to write andlive my way into alignment as I
work my belief-raising process.
Well, in my initial writingsession I found that I felt
worried and nervous about thatstatement I am God.
You can hear that initialbelief-raising journal entry

(02:29):
verbatim by listening to episode1 of this series.
Each episode since hasdocumented me writing and living
my way into the next highestemotional perspective on the
emotional reference chart.

(02:51):
Episode 2 is about me feelingfrustrated and aggravated about
that statement rather thanworried and nervous.
Episode 3 is about me feelinguneasy and discontented about
the statement I am God ratherthan frustrated and aggravated.

(03:15):
Episode 4 is about me feelingindifferent and apathetic about
it rather than uneasy anddiscontented.
And episode 5 today is about mefeeling pensiveness and
melancholy about it rather thanindifferent and apathetic.

(03:38):
The goal of this series is togive you, my dear manifesting
friend, a front row seat to thesubtle yet profound shifts of
perspective and understandingabout the statement I am God

(04:02):
that occur for me every singletime I write and live my way up
into a new emotional perspectiveon my emotional reference chart
.
I change with each newemotional perspective, not
dramatically but authentically,authentically, because the pace

(04:30):
of the change between emotionalperspectives on the chart is
gradual enough that oursubconscious goes along for the
ride, which means our beliefsare going to change.
And because I change, so doesmy reality concerning whatever

(04:55):
I'm working the belief raisingprocess on.
In episodes 1 through 4 ofChange your Beliefs, change your
Life, I delve thoroughly intomy personal history to explain
exactly how and why I createdthis belief raising process and

(05:17):
exactly what my experiences withit have been.
I go over exactly how I workthe process, how I write and
live my way into new emotionalperspectives to change myself
and, in turn, manifest newversions of reality In any area
of my life that I choose to workthis process on.

(05:40):
All of that is waiting for youin those first 4 episodes.
Now, the quick version of allof that is that this belief
raising process works everysingle time.
I use it.
Listen to the series and see itfor yourself or, better yet,

(06:04):
start using my belief raisingprocess yourself Today.
My latest book, a handbook forthose already born how to
Manifest Better Versions ofReality, covers it thoroughly,
as do many of my previous books.
Now, last month, in my 4thepisode of this series, I was on

(06:27):
the emotional perspective ofindifference and apathy about
being God, and I opened myjournaling by acknowledging my
current state.
I shared about how the absenceof enthusiasm for this concept

(06:49):
stems from multiple factors.
I confessed that the lack of aninstant reward for my
understanding of the statementcontributed to my lack of
interest.
I clarified that the intentbehind this declaration is not
to claim that I am THE God asdepicted in religious texts, but

(07:14):
rather to embrace the idea thatI am part of the divine whole.
I continued by addressing thelack of concern I feel,
emphasizing that it's not anabsence of interest or
enthusiasm, but rather a subduedpresence.
These feelings, they're likethe trees that line my street.

(07:38):
They're my familiar backdrop inmy life, but they're not
demanding my constant attention,even though they are vital to
comprising my surroundings andmaking my surroundings great.
Just as the trees contribute tothe beauty of my neighborhood,

(07:59):
the understanding of myconnection to the divine
enriches my spiritual landscape.
However, just as I don't needto focus all my attention on
those trees, I don't feel theneed to fervently emphasize my
understanding of the statement.
I clarified that my lack ofenthusiasm isn't indicative of

(08:25):
not caring.
It's a reflection of the depthof my understanding.
I've integrated this beliefinto my identity and I'm content
with where I am.
My focus isn't on pursuing thetitle of Almighty God, but
rather on nurturing my growththrough the belief-raising

(08:45):
process.
I likened indifference tohitting a glass ceiling, an
emotional state that's notovertly painful but still
limiting.
There's always an echo ofhopelessness and I reflected on
how it relates to moments inlife when I've faced things like
the inevitability of death andother uncertainties.

(09:08):
And I acknowledged that whileindifference might not be worse
than anger, it's its own uniquekind of pain and I reflected on
my experiences of languishing inindifference before.
In my reflections I foundcontentment in recognizing the
blessings in my life,acknowledging both the positive

(09:32):
aspects and my own imperfections.
So, without further ado, hereis my belief-raising journal
entry about writing and livingmy way into feeling pensiveness
and melancholy about I am God.

(09:52):
First of all, here are thedefinitions of those words.
Sadness means thinking deeplyor seriously, often of sad or
melancholy things, alsoexpressing deep thoughtfulness,
often with some sadness.
Melancholy means a feeling ofpensive sadness, typically with

(10:19):
no obvious cause.
Now here's my writing and Istart by asking myself what
would I believe about me and mylife to feel pensiveness and
melancholy about this statement?
I am God.

(10:39):
You being the bright light youare, might say Greg, by those
definitions you just read, thisisn't going to be much of an
improvement.
I'd say you're absolutelycorrect, but it's enough of an
improvement that it will alignthis part of my reality a little

(11:02):
more with my desires, and thegrowth is gentle enough for my
subconscious to give me accessto my inherited beliefs.
It will allow my inheritedbeliefs to grow in accord with
the new emotional perspective.
Now we can talk openly aboutwhat we're doing, right in front

(11:27):
of our subconscious.
Right, it's that most primitivepart of our brain.
It's right here with us whilewe're talking.
But we can do that because, one, we're not trying to trick our
subconscious, so we have nothingto hide from it, and two, our
subconscious doesn't understandwords anyway, even if we were

(11:49):
trying to trick it.
So let's get to what I wrote inthis journal entry.
Writing myself into pensivenessand melancholy Sadness I am.
God makes me feel sad Becausehere I am, giving my best effort

(12:10):
to intentionally manifest andengage with reality,
intentionally seeing andexperiencing fantastic results,
achieving a lifestyle oflearning, growing and changing,
which provides me morefulfillment than I even knew was
possible, by always allowing meto take responsibility for the

(12:32):
changes I seek.
I have a fulfilling lifestyleof being the source of my
reality and being the source ofits changes, and I love the
changes.
I'm loved, valuable, important,wealthy, healthy, fit,
desirable.

(12:52):
I make others' lives better.
I make my life better and atthe same time I'm judgmental,
afraid, weak, critical, blaming,angry, conditional, defensive,

(13:13):
unkind, unhappy.
I'm God Sure I am a part of Godtemporarily experiencing this,
and this includes all of that.
The best I can do includes allthat pain, all that unhappiness,

(13:37):
all that suffering they couldhave stopped caring about.
I am God at indifference andapathy, in the sense that I'm
doing great and as good aspossible, given the natural
limitations and challengesinherent with being a human in
this dimension.
So what's the point?

(13:58):
How could I do any better,other than, of course, getting
better at intentionallymanifesting and engaging with my
reality?
But no matter how skilled Ibecome at those things, I'm
never transcending all that pain, all my imperfections.
So what's the point in pursuingI am God any further, really?

(14:22):
But if I'm going to pursue itany further which I am because I
believe in this belief-raisingprocess and know it always has
something of value to offer me,my next perspective is being
thoughtful, trending towardssadness.
The sadness, as I've described,is authentic and stems from the

(14:44):
tantalizing but unattainablepromise of this statement, and
the dreamy thoughtfulness thatstems from a suspicion that more
is possible here, that thisbelief-raising process may very
well end up having me redefinewhat I and God mean, maybe also

(15:08):
what M means, who knows?
But I do believe in thisprocess without reservation.
So I will continue on thisjourney into pensiveness and
melancholy, and I do imaginethat such refining and
redefining could be in my future, one step at a time.

(15:29):
I just don't see that from here.
This with reality is challenging.
With something soindividualized, we strive for it
in most cases, fake itsometimes, yern for it in others
.
It is my experience personallyof God.

(15:53):
Of me, god is love,unconditional love.
Anything that doesn't leadtoward love can't be God, can't
be a path toward God.
Self-love, unconditionalself-acceptance, seems like the

(16:16):
most likely path to embracingand embodying.
I am God, beyond where Icurrently know it.
Anything, any way of engagingreality that doesn't point me in

(16:37):
that direction can't be God.
Is it possible I've been leaningon, relying on pathways that
don't lead to God Because that'swhat I was taught or that's the
way I've always done it?
Have I, do I use pathways notleading toward God to motivate

(17:03):
me, to use as measuring sticksand litmus tests Things based on
fear rather than love,familiarity over freedom or
familiarity aboutself-acceptance and love?
What if I simply noticed whenself-acceptance and love was

(17:27):
happening and, at the very least, get off that non-God pathway?
When I noticed I was on it,stopped doing it and look for,
consider and explorealternatives, like when I get

(17:50):
angry at another driver.
If I look at them, when I getnext to them, I go.
Of course it's filling theblank.
Whatever pejorative label forwho and what they are is, that's
not a pathway to God.

(18:10):
First, since I know that, don'tlook, that's a start.
Get off that non-God path.
Then, what you don't know.
But it's a great question toexplore and answer.

(18:31):
Or rather than plan what I'mgoing to do on a trip to give me
a sense of control, becausethat's not a pathway to God,
plan what I'm going to do on atrip to help me make the most of

(18:53):
my time on the trip, which doesfeel like a pathway to God For
me.
This writing session left mewith such an actionable yet not
overly grandiose plan.

(19:14):
Moving forward Didn't resolveall of my issues.
It didn't get me where I wantedto be eventually about that
statement I am God.
But with this writing I felt alot of the ice cracking and my

(19:37):
body beginning to fill the spaceof what might be a much, much
better reality.
Regarding the statement I amGod, I knew going away that I
could begin to identify pathwaysto God and pathways that were

(19:59):
not to God, and it felt good tohave that.
