Tap into Your Knowing
I was dreaming. In my dream, I remembered what it felt like to leave my body willingly and return to it by choice, remaining conscious throughout the experience. This wasn’t just a dream—it was a memory. It had actually happened during a headstand in a Hot-Vinyasa Yoga class. After years of working on this capability, I finally experienced it, and it felt perfectly natural, as though it was something I’d always known how to do.
This dream arose from recent conversations in my Reiki group about the concept of “Knowing.” Until this moment, I had considered Knowing a synonym for Belief, but in the dream, I came to understand that Knowing is its own distinct state—an energy that arises from a place beyond belief. I think of it as coming from the No-Thing, the vast energetic space of potential. The difference between Knowing and Belief is profound and rooted in energy.
Belief, after all, has its counterpart: Non-Belief. Belief relies on “Faith,” while Non-Belief is grounded in “Conviction.” Faith feels like a low-energy state to me, built on an absence of proof or substance. Conviction, in contrast, is high-energy, driven by sheer willpower and the force of determination.
But Knowing is something else entirely. It exists in a space beyond faith or conviction, a resting point of pure energy that is always available. To access Knowing, we must rest—neither pushing nor resisting, but allowing. In Reiki, we speak of “Allowing,” which I now understand as the state that enables us to Know.
After years of yoga and deep introspection, I’ve come to realize there’s a place beyond belief—a place where you just ‘know,’ without needing to prove anything. From this place, we have the freedom to choose which aspect of Knowing to manifest in our lives…Our Purpose.
“Reality,” then, becomes a collection of our beliefs, non-beliefs, and the purposes we filter them through. To be whole and at rest, we must integrate all of these into a unified state of Knowing, re-membering them into wholeness.
When we exist in a state of both Knowing and Purposing, we experience harmony and connection with those around us. We see the world as a reflection of ourselves, and this understanding brings energy to our life's purpose. It gives us the certainty to follow our path, knowing we can change direction at will. We exist within the Every-Thing, with the power to shift our experience.
It’s health. It’s vitality. It’s peace and prosperity.
The Nature of Time and Reality
Time is a double-edged sword. It’s useful for organizing our lives, catching flights, and scheduling meetings. But when it comes to truly being present, time can feel like a barrier. It chops reality into a sequence—past, present, future—creating the illusion of movement, when in truth, everything is happening now.
In the present, all things exist simultaneously. Time in this moment can expand, stretching a second into an eternity. The true measure of time is not in its passing but in the quality of the moment—the persistent feeling of presence that anchors us in our experience.
Krishnamurti once advised, “At this moment, I am fine.” If only we could allow that moment to last a lifetime.
This state of timelessness—this place where we are simply being—is our natural state. So what pulls us away from it? What traps us in the cycle of past and future, of “not fine”? Is it time itself, or is it our inability to rest in Knowing, to simply allow the present to be?
On Knowing and Perception
We often believe that we see the world through our eyes alone. But I’ve come to understand that true perception requires much more. Conscious beings—whether people, objects, or experiences—impose their willful image upon us. To truly see, we must perceive with our whole being, not just our eyes.
This realization brings me to wonder: if our eyes are capable of more than we realize, are they limited only by the stories we’ve been told? In the quantum realm, where reality exists in superposition until observed, is it our very act of choosing that brings the world into form?
Knowing isn’t passive; it’s an active engagement with reality, a choice that collapses infinite possibilities into the physical world.
Science, religion, and society seem to be converging in a way that suggests a deeper truth is emerging. Perhaps this moment is not just a coincidence but a coalescence, a reminder that we, too, are evolving. As we learn rapidly—both consciously and unconsciously—the Earth teaches us, just as we teach ourselves. But in this process, are we merely consuming our world, or are we learning to create from a place of Knowing?
The Energy of Purpose
We live with purpose, and that purpose is not something we invent—it is something we receive, like a breeze guiding us along our path. From this sense of purpose, we manifest our lives. We do not simply observe reality; we project our intentions onto it, shaping the world as we experience it.
In this way, Knowing is not an abstract concept. It is alive, a living awareness that fuels our health, vitality, and peace. When we rest in Knowing, we don’t need to force life to bend to our will. Instead, we allow it to flow through us, revealing itself in harmony with our purpose.
Time, perception, and purpose are not separate things—they are interconnected threads that weave the fabric of our reality. To truly live, we must rest in Knowing, and perceiving the world not through the limitations of our senses but through the boundless energy of our being. In this space, we can manifest our highest purpose with ease, joy, and certainty.
