This article is about you! Your aspirations. Your longings. Your dream.
And it's about making your dream real, actual, tangible, touchable.
My intention in sharing my life experience is to assist you to take your dream from the realm of hope and possibility into a world of achievement and reality.
At 19, I was a happy, healthy aspiring filmmaker. I was open, innocent, carefree and creative. Then I lost my eyesight. No Western medical doctors could help me to see again. What was real in my life then was not my dream, but a nightmare! If I didn't wake up and take charge of my life, this nightmare was the only reality I would know the rest of my days.
Instinctively I dove deep into my frightful emotions, which eventually led me to my intuition. My inner knowing guided me to seek help from the most real pathfinders I could find. I spent the next twenty years with Hawaiian Kahuna, Japanese Zen masters, and Hopi medicine men. All my teachers are very no-nonsense, practical, down-to-earth people--extremely realistic, grounded and anchored in everyday reality.
I resided with them, absorbing their "living wisdom." These mentors don't just believe their philosophy; they live it. They don't simply think the world is a certain way; they confirm it with personal direct evidence every day of their existence.
They verify their beliefs each day by acting on their convictions, being their truths. Their ideas about the world are inseparable from their everyday experience of the world. Their principles are integrated into their daily lives--into how they breathe, walk, love and feel every moment.
As one of my teachers expressed it so well, "You only know what you can do." Wisdom is living what you know. Knowledge is believing what you think you know.
I watched. I felt. I learned. I made changes. I began to see again. And I saw with new eyes. Hanging out with people who were willing to see the real world--truth--helped me regain my willingness to see.
The key to unlocking my willingness to see was the fresh way that I learned to see. Modeling my mentors, I no longer "looked" only at the surface appearance of life events. I chose to "see" beneath the outer form of situations. I used my life experience to intuitively sense what was going on "behind the scenes."
"Seeing" life reveals its secrets. When you "see" beneath the surface veneer of events--instead of simply "looking" at the outer facade--you tap into the realm of true knowing, wisdom.
