overeat, frolic, steal, lie, and even spend too much time worrying
about how the world works. Our minds get in the way of the natural
flow of things. Our minds know they are doomed and they can’t
stand the thought of it, so they construct feel-good addictions to
help them survive. In reality (whatever thatis), your mind is the in-
terference to experiencing the bliss of this moment.
If this is so, then all the techniques to get clear—which I talk
about as step three in The Attractor Factor—are there to help you take
the interferenceout of the Divine plan.
For example, when you use a method like the Emotional Free-
dom Technique (EFT)—the tapping your troubles away approach to
life—you dissolve the issues troubling you.
But then what happens?
Then you take a positive action.
Well, weren’t you going to take that positive action anyway?
Isn’t that why you knew there was a problem to begin with?
In other words, the nudge to take action was sent to you from
the Divine, and your anxiety over it was the interference. Take away
the interference and you’re back to being one with the Divine,
which means you’re puppet and puppeteer again.
So let me try to sum up what at least makes sense to me today:
You came into this world with a gift within yourself. You may
know it right away or not.You may not even know it right now. At
some point you’ll sense it within you. Now, your mind is going to
judge it. If your mind judges it as bad, you’ll seek therapy or methods
or drugs or addictions to handle it, hide it, resolve it, release it, or ac-
cept it. But once you have removed that interference preventing you
from acting on your gift, you’ll act on that gift. In short, you’ll be the
puppet of the Divine but you’ll be the puppeteer of your life.
Your choice is to go with the flow or not.
That’sfree will. Some call it “free won’t” because your real deci-
sion is to act on the impulse or not.
