There is this masterclass that I just did with Michael Beckwith, and somewhere in the masterclass, I mentioned that there was five minutes I spent with Michael Beckwith that blew my mind, shifted my life, and made me view the world in a different way. And so, since so many people ask what those five minutes were, let me just explain what happened. Michael Beckwith was one of the teachers in that hit movie the Secret, right, Where people were talking about the law of attraction and how the universe will give you what you focus your mind on. But 15 years after that movie, I was sitting with Michael in Portugal, and we got into this discussion, and what he says is, no, people so misunderstand. This universe doesn't give you what you are focused on. It gives you what you are. He said, don't think Law of Attraction. Think law of resonance. The universe will reflect back to you who you are. And so it's not about your dominant thought. It's about your dominant identity. Now, this thing gets more nuanced, but when I started understanding that it's about identity and not thought, it changed the game for me. It changed the way I function in the world. It changed my meditation practice. And I'll go more into this in the masterclass, but I wanted to share this idea with you. The universe doesn't give you what you're constantly focused on, what you're constantly visualizing. That is why so many people fail at this game. Rather, the universe gives you who you are. Any form of trying to bend reality, any form of listening to your intuition, to act on it and bring forth something new in the world, has to start with one thing. Resonance. You must become the next evolution of who you're meant to be. And the way to get there is through a very different understanding than keep repeating affirmations or keep visualizing. Visualizing or believing in the law of Attraction. Remember, the law is resonance. I can't possibly explain something so profound in a short video, but if this intrigued you in some way, join me on my masterclass with Michael Beckwith. We filmed this to go deep into these ideas so you understand them and incorporate them into your being. It's going to be a really fun ride, folks. I'll see you there.
