with intense curiosity and intention.
Great teachers on the path of self-
inquiry, such as Ramana Maharshi and
Nisargadatta Maharaj, sought to answer
the question, “Who am I really?” For
Doug, the question is, “How should I
live?”
The period following a wake-up call
often requires letting yourself live in the
stress of unanswered questions and
unsolved problems. It’s a time of intense
effort and practice—of longing for
wisdom, for change. This intensity
breeds Tapas, or transformative heat—
burning off bad habits through
purifi cation, refi ning your vessel, and
opening your psyche for revelation and
insight.ASKING FOR HELP
During your transformative journey,
questioning will require practice. Effort
is crucial for developing a vessel to hold
the developing shift or insight. You may
also need the help of a teacher or coun-
selor, and that of grace—which one of
my teachers defi ned as “that which
returns things to the Source.” True shifts
of consciousness emerge from being,and the most direct way to ask for help
from being is tapping the Source.
I’ve always found that most of my
major breakthroughs have followed
intense prayer. Depending on my mood
in the moment, I pray to god, to the fi eld
of consciousness, or to my higher Self.
I believe that it’s important to pray only
for things that will benefi t others as
well. But I also know that positive
transformation in an individual’s
consciousness is benefi cial to others,
so I have no qualms about asking for
help when I come up against inner
obstructions.
There’s something about the
conviction of our essential helplessness
that seems to attract grace. Praying
helps me let go of my pride and my sense
of control, because I’ve found prayer to
be most effective when I start by saying,
“I can’t do this myself. Grace will have to
help me.”GRACE, INSIGHT, AND
AWAKENING
I can always tell when grace has rushed
in. For one thing, it’s exhilarating and
often miraculous. You read a book, andthe exact words you need to hear leap
out at you. You’re drawn to take a class
with a particular teacher who gives you
the insight that helps change your
entire psychic structure. You hear
yourself saying exactly the right thing to
a friend and know it was divine
intervention. When grace is around,
your life’s fi lled with synchronicities,
meaningful coincidences, and
inspiration that seem to effortlessly
propel you forward.This part of the
transformation cycle can be incredibly
exciting, often because it feels as though
you’re learning how to open up to the
wisdom that comes from being.
Kabbalist spiritual teacher Marc Gafni
says that true personal transformation
requires rewriting our source code, the
deep internal programming that
determines the way we experience
certain situations. Since we don’t know
how to get to the source code on our
own, that deep shifting has to come
from insight—the intuitive awareness
that arises from within.
You’ll know that you’re experiencing
this level of insight when a truth you’ve
been reading or hearing for years isyj77_54-59 quantam leap.indd 57 19/7/19 5:54 pmMeet the Presen S S F he Difference
