Originality
“Everything in the world which you can conceive of being, is to you, within this present formless awareness, a most natural attainment.”– Neville Goddard
Probably the most admired and endearing qualities of the individuals and companies who have the BE COOL mentality is Originality. This quality, along with Optimism, are definitely the most visible outward manifestations we see them express in the world. I think one of the reasons Originality is among the most admired qualities by “average people” is because many feel that being a true original thinker and doer are beyond the scope of possibility for themselves.
As stated in the section on Beliefs, much of this conditioning comes from early childhood. Their conditioning has led them to believe things like: conformity is normal, going along is getting along, follow the rules, color inside the lines, etc. If this is still your mindset, it may be time to once again rethink what you think about.
I also believe one of the reasons we admire, and secretly desire to be more like, those who are able to freely express their creative passion is because, deep down - beneath all the conditioning, the stress and noise of daily living and responsibilities, etc - we sense a still small voice whispering and urging us to more openly express our individuality. What stops most of us is fear and doubt. We have a fear of failure, of course, but there is something larger at work. We often fear our very own possibilities. We instinctively understand and relate to the words of Marianne Williams in her book A Return to Love: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
The truth is you were created to accomplish great things. If you begin to open yourself to an expanded way of being within your own universe as well as in the larger universe, you will be able to see incredible possibilities you never knew existed. When you do, you will begin to see a multitude of incredible choices and opportunities. When your view is enlarged you no longer worry about stumbling blocks or roadblocks. They will simply be guideposts on the journey.
I am of the absolute conviction that we, as individuals and companies, have a God-given right and responsibility to discover our true nature and purpose for being, to continually seek out new ways to give ourselves the freedom to express our true selves in ways to enrich our total experience of the world and, in the process, enrich the experience of those who happen to share space with us within our own unique universe.
Beyond any financial gain or higher purpose we may aspire to in the relatively short time we have in this physical realm, to me, this discovery of self and bringing to the world the free expression of who we really are, is perhaps the highest calling of all. It is the main reason we were brought to this plane of existence. So, let’s explore this quality of originality and see if we can incorporate it into what we have learned thus far.
Originality is the result of clarified thinking expressed on the plane of expanded awareness. When one aligns themselves with the spiritual energy of the universe through a congruent system of powerful beliefs, thoughts, emotions and physiology they come to a place of recognizing there is an unlimited supply of knowledge and understanding that is far beyond than anything they have ever read, heard, experienced or studied. They grow exponentially as they experience a never-ending expansion of what they’ve come to know as truth. They know more because they now flow in harmony with the greater Source of All.
In developing your BE-ingness you come to a realization you have a direct connection to the larger realm of universal wisdom. You only have to look within, listen, discern, and then trust. Consequently, you expand your trust in your own deepest intuition as the final authority and source of your decisions of life. Your Higher Power, Source, God or whatever you decide to call it, always points to the best and most perfect way. You need only to listen and decide to choose or reject what is heard. You have unwavering faith and trust that all you’ll ever need or require is bountifully provided. There is no doubt or worry at this level of thinking and being.
When you reach this state of expanded awareness you are able to view the world not only as it is, but also what it can be. You begin to see and appreciate the underlying truth in all that exists, which is life moving forward in ever-expanding growth and change. You come into deeper understanding and appreciation of the fact that abundance is the natural order of the universe. You see new possibilities growing out of an awareness of not only what is, but also what isn’t visible to the physical eye.
BE COOL Principle #5
Originality is the Union of Expanded Awareness and Passion
New and original solutions to so-called problems seem to flow effortlessly to you because you now have access to new ways of viewing the world around you and the universe as a whole. At this level of thinking and being you become aware there are, in truth, no problems. There are only causes and effects.
From your higher level of consciousness you allow the creative Power of the universe to flow within and through you rather than attempting to wield the Force of your will. You have come to appreciate the subtle recognition that Force creates resistance; Power creates attraction.
Allowing creative power to flow through you fuels your imagination with emotional energy. There is no longer a desire to compete for what you once thought of as limited resources. With the flow of universal power you now know the universe is composed of a limitless supply of endless possibilities and you can be, do and have anything you desire through the union of your imagination and the source energy that pulsates in and through your mind, body and spirit.
The people and companies who are driven by a deep sense of purpose and knowingness of their reason for being, more easily access the unlimited resources of the universe. They express a focused passion for life born from the realization and deep appreciation of their own individuality. Their passion causes them to “vibrate” at a higher rate of frequency within their own unique universe drawing people, resources and circumstances to themselves for the accomplishment of their purposes. In this higher state of vibration their mind, individually and collectively, becomes quieter and filled with a deep-rooted sense of joy that pervades the whole of their being.
This state of expanded awareness opens a portal where an acute recognition of unlimited possibilities are more readily seen, often presented in the form of synchronicities. Once considered unrelated events and things, now take on new meaning as a result of a finely tuned sensitivity to the understanding that all things work together in perfect harmony for the highest good of all. In this expanded state, they continually enlarge their vision about what is possible for themselves. With deep-seated belief supported by corresponding emotions they more easily bring their vision into physical existence in their self-constructed universe.
People and companies who have mastered this component of the BE COOL way of being operate in their personal and corporate universe in a heightened state of awareness place no boundaries upon themselves or others in the area of free expression of possibilities and ideas. They have long since released, if they ever had them, old ways of thinking that seeks its refuge in conformity to what others around them believe “normal”. They feel that it is their right as well as their responsibility to develop themselves to the best of their ability and seek to express their distinctive qualities and talents to the world. Lastly, they believe the open and free expression of their true being is the ultimate expression of the last, but perhaps most important, component of the BE COOL mindset - Love
