What do I mean by this?
Well, it is only I, the individual, in mind, that can generate illusions of separation, that can generate illusions of not being all that I desire to be, not having all that I desire, which then manifest as behaviors of seeking externally for something to be met, let's say,
in order to experience the being I am. As we've been discussing, you are love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. The way of life is flow. As you acknowledge that you are love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, the seeking for external conditions to be met
Before you can experience yourself as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, cease. The suffering ceases. And it is experienced, for example, in relationships as flow-based relationships. In entrepreneurship, it is experienced as flow-based business building, flow-based prosperity.
it is only the illusions of i that generate force stress frustration which is not necessary as the way of life is flow i am the way and the way of life is flow to prove the point if the individual is not identified with a belief of lacking happiness for example
while they're engaging in a conversation with someone, it doesn't matter what the person says or does. It doesn't sway them, let's say. So a person can use whatever word they would like. They may even seem to suggest that you lack love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, which is an illusion.
as only I can suggest what the person seems to suggest through their words in mine and relate accordingly. If I appear to be triggered by what they say, what they don't say, what they do, what they don't do, then I can return to the source and acknowledge in the moment that I am. Love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. By releasing identification,
to that particular thought that suggests based on what they said based on what they do based on what they didn't do based on what they didn't say i lack love happiness peace bliss fulfillment that is what i mean and as the individual does not identify with that thought they remain in their flow and the conversation flows
For example, in business, if you're doing a sales presentation, if they say something which the individual in mind suggests that this is a rejection and the rejection means they lack love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, it is an illusion. They can release that identification in the moment by returning to the source, which is what we're going to talk about today. How does one return to the source?
Well, what happens then, as they release that identification, is if they say this, great. If they say that, great. It doesn't restrict the flow. And what we see is what we call overcoming objections. The individual receives within, receives within from the source what to say. A vision, an idea may flash upon the mind's eye.
Out of nowhere, we could say, God is the source. So what happens then is they know what to say, what to do. They naturally say it, effortlessly say it, automatically say it, or not say, we could say. And what ends up happening is the deal is facilitated. I trust you've noticed this. I am the way, and the way of life is flow. So,
The illusions of I, it is only I that can identify with lack, limitation, lacking love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, seeking for thus a condition to be met in order to experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. So in context of relationships, it could be a person arguing with another individual so that they
convince them, you could say, that they are love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Is that required? Well, consider this. If you are love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, why does the individual need a condition to be met externally in order to be? They could just be perfect as they are now, and they might not know this. No shame, no condemnation.
To articulate what I mean by I am the way and the way of life is flow, I'm going to bring up on my screen the Robert Dill's logical levels. So I've modified this a bit. I put an I on the top of the pyramid to represent you. So we have a number of layers in the Robert Dill's logical levels. At the bottom we have
environment. Then we have behavior. Environment represents people, environment, circumstance, information, anything that appears to you, eye on the top. Right now, I'm in this environment, in my office in Toronto. In a handful of hours, I'm flying over to Mexico. I will be in a different environment. I remain the same.
Yet the environment changes to me, appears to change to me, I on the top. So environments appear to change. Behaviors, whether you have this habit, you do this, you don't do that, this is your style of doing things, this is where you put on a persona, etc. Those are all behaviors. And those appear to change, yet you remain the same. If today you have this behavior and tomorrow you have this other behavior,
And the individual may say, I consistently have this behavior and I would like to change that behavior. In all of those scenarios, you remain the same. I remain the same. So then we have capabilities, which are skills. So I love snowboarding. So I cultivate that skill. In entrepreneurship, I cultivate my communication skills. I've been doing it for many years.
in sales, in presentations, in deal-making, in articulating in these videos, etc. There's no limit to the degree of perfection that you are. You are perfect as you are. It actualizes, or we could say it manifests, as what appears as the skills being cultivated from the source. God does everything. God transforms the environments,
to be in harmony with you in relation to your vision. God transforms the behaviors to be in harmony with you, with people, with environment, with circumstance, with information in relation to your vision. Your vision represents you. So then we also have values and beliefs. We have identity. The values and beliefs, the identity, which represents the personal identity.
It is not true identity, although it can represent an accurate or more accurate representation of the true identity. So, for example, if an individual is said to live authentically as a manifestation of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. If we point to the individual and we say, okay, well, you know, this individual's in flow, right?
They experience themselves as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. It doesn't appear that the flow restrictors are in their mind. In other words, they're not identified with anything, any belief, any condition placed upon consciousness that restricts the flow. They are said to, some people refer to this as having no mind, as in they flow. Body appears to flow.
Conversations appear to flow. Everything appears to flow, and they seem to appear to progress, let's say. Their environments appear to transform to be more in harmony with who they are. Their capabilities appear to transform to be more in harmony with who they are.
their version, you could say, their authentic way of being, and their style is the best style, just as your style is the best style, my style is the best style, as there's only the way, the way appearing to be in harmony. God does everything, as only God alone exists. Now, what do I mean by this? So, the personal identity appears to transform.
It, for example, I might say today I do this kind of entrepreneurship and
10 years ago I did a different kind of entrepreneurship. For example, I built three successful businesses, one in IT from 2009 to 2013. Then I started this YouTube channel in 2013, which I built a success and that became a business. I also have a consulting practice that I started in 2013, which I built a success. I moved into investing, which has been very successful.
I remain the same, but my style or my way appears to transform. Now, I can honestly say from myself and working with everyone over the years that this personal identity appears to transform to be a more truer, we could say, embodiment of the true identity. See, what happens is we allow it to change and God does everything.
God makes it happen perfectly as God does, as in the end, only God alone exists. So I spring from the sure foundation that I am. So this is what I mean by I release the illusions of I to be as I am. So all of these transform, including the visions. I have this vision today. Yesterday I had that vision. These visions are received within from the source.
in the form of desire the desires of the heart this is what i mean when i say desire means having desire is an acknowledgement of being you already have what you desire you already are all that you desire to be you simply acknowledge in the moment desire means having desire points to the fact that you are
To prove the point, what does the individual desire? Well, we can put it in categories. We could say the individual desires love. The individual desires happiness. The individual desires peace. The individual desires bliss. The individual desires fulfillment. Love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment.
These are what we can point to that the individual is desiring to experience. Well, guess what? You are love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, as you and I spring from the same sure foundation that I am love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. The source of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment is God. I am that I am, Exodus 3.14.
And the individual may have been seeking externally for love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment during conversations, during the day-to-day initiatives, day-to-day life, externally for, and if the conditions are not met, then they think that they lack love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, or they think they lack love or happiness. However, they define what is being pointed to, which is being complete as they are now.
you don't lack anything what do you lack you are love happiness peace bliss fulfillment pushed out as the way so as i say and it's not because i said so you can see it in the various scriptures of the world i am the way
and the way is flow by that i mean god does everything i simply remain as i am body appears to flow everything appears to flow to be in harmony reality is perfect as it is now in harmony with you
So, on what appears as the journey to actualizing the visions, day-to-day life, etc., whatever it is, wherever you are, whatever environment, whatever behavior you're involved with, whatever capabilities being cultivated, the identity and the values and beliefs appear to transform. God doeth the work. I, Ken and myself, do nothing. The Father within doeth the work. The Father is I Am.
And you and I spring from the same sure foundation, the source of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. That I am. So that's stated. What happens then is I am aware of what I think, how I emotionally relate, how I relate in environments, how I relate to behaviors, to capabilities, etc.,
And that reveals this personal identity, which is a construct. The values and beliefs, which are constructs in mind that may not be aligned with your true nature. And there you can say dichotomous beliefs, perhaps of this versus that us versus them. That's a great indicator of an illusion of I.
us versus them this versus that there is no this versus that there's this and that there's no us versus them there's us and them as ultimately only god alone exists so we can say to i the environment is an appearance to i on the top the capabilities are an appearance
To I, the behaviors are an appearance. To I, the values and beliefs are an appearance. To I, the personal identity is an appearance, as in I can imagine myself to be a particular way, yet I remain the same. To I, the vision is an appearance, as in a vision flashed upon, when we say my mind's eye from the source, where did it flash? Upon the mind's eye.
So I witness that vision flashed upon the mind's eye. So I know that I transcend the vision, transcend the personal identity, transcend the values and beliefs, transcend the capabilities, transcend the behaviors, and transcend the environment. So I know that now. So now I inquire further, knowing that I transcend these logical levels. Where do I spring from?
So for the sake of simplicity, we're articulating it this way. Who am I and where do I spring from? See, the I is free to choose, yet the I may not know thy self, may not know thy self. True self transcends I. I am transcendent to I. How do I know? How do you know? Well,
Let's transcend I. So we've transcended the illusions of I, which are limitation, lack of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment in relation to vision, in relation to environments, in relation to behaviors, in relation to capabilities. The illusions of I make up the personal identity, perhaps, if the personal identity has been formed based on illusions of I.
the values and beliefs, if the values and beliefs have been formed in the subconscious mind based on illusions of I, then we can say the illusions of I are revealed in the personal identity, revealed in the values and beliefs and play out as theater in environments, in behaviors, in capabilities, in relation to people, environment, circumstance, information. As these illusions of I do not represent you. Now, I might not know this.
i might say well joseph is saying i am love happiness peace bliss fulfillment these are great words what these words do is point to the source of i and the true nature of i because as we've been discussing everything that i seek for externally
seems to be, we can categorize it as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. So in other words, we're seeking for ourself. How interesting. Self-seeking self. And so what is actually happening is the self-fulfilling self. The self-fulfilling self. That is what appears to reveal reality. Reality is love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. So again, not because I said so. You can experience it yourself.
As you release identification to thoughts, you allow the emotions to be. You acknowledge that you transcend the experiences in the environment, the values and beliefs, the capabilities, the behaviors, the personal identity. What is experience is profound peace. That is you. Peace.
What can also be experienced is what an individual may call profound bliss or bliss. Congratulations, you have found God. You have found the source. Sat-Chit-Ananda, existence, consciousness, bliss. Now, bliss can also be Ananda, more specifically, can also be translated to happiness, peace, bliss, joy, love, happiness, peace, bliss. That is you.
love in the bible is said to be the true nature of god so in the moment the individual upon being as they are or as we say being as i am
They experience by doing nothing, not because of any external condition, not because of this or that thought, this or that imaginal activity, this or that whatever, appearance of personal identity, values and beliefs, capabilities, behaviors, and environment. For no reason at all, we could say. From their heart, love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment emanates.
and then they have found thyself. They have realized the true nature of thyself and the radiance of thyself purifies the subconscious mind from beliefs or conditions placed upon consciousness that suggest that they lack love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment as they realize now
that they are love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. And you and I spring from the sure foundation that we are love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. The self-fulfilling self. This is the experience, self-fulfilling self. So what ends up happening is flow. These illusions of I, these conditions placed upon consciousness, dissolve. So then the individual experiences flow in their environments more so.
as they continue to, if they're about to identify with an illusion of I. So any condition placed upon consciousness that suggests lack of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, not being who you desire to be, not having what you desire, as you have what you desire. You are who you desire to be. You are who you desire to be. Love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment is who you desire to be in some visionary form.
and having love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment in some visionary form flashes upon your mind's eye from the source as symbols. Could be particular kind of relationship, harmonious business, etc. I choose not to throw bias into it because God does everything perfectly for you. God does everything perfectly for me as...
As in the end, now, and ever shall be, as it was in the beginning, only God alone exists, playing all roles perfectly. This is the play of God. So I release these illusions of I in mind that are generating interference patterns, let's say. Interference patterns, interfering with the perfect play of God.
Anytime, if an opportunity presents itself, if I was triggered by environment, behavior, capability, release that identification, release that identification and return back to the source in the moment.
can happen prior to conversations, during conversations, after conversations, prior to whatever task project you are working on, during, after. There may be opportunities presented. So what I did over the years is I took these opportunities to release these illusions of I to be as I am. And as I remain as I am, I experience I am the way. The way is flowed.
Flow is experience, not force, not frustration, not stress, not seeking, because force, stress, frustration, whether the individual is aware of it or not, is the result of these illusions of I, these conditions placed upon consciousness. Because in mind, they may think this condition needs to be met, that condition needs to be met.
This person needs to say this, this person needs to say that, us versus them, this versus that, as mentioned. Only God alone exists. Now, to experience being as I am more often, to acknowledge that only God alone exists, which, by the way, as I'm saying this, it's illusory to suggest that you need to be as I am, as there is only God alone.
Now, for the sake of discussion, we communicate it this way to articulate the one thing that the individual can do, which is release the condition placed upon consciousness. Allow the light to be as the light was in the beginning. The light is pure consciousness. As stated in Genesis 1.3, it says, the Peshitta Aramaic Bible translation, one of my favorite translations,
It says, and God said, the light shall be and the light was. So God did not force. Force, frustration, these are illusions generated by I. Conditions placed upon consciousness generate these illusions of I to prove the point. So the individual place a condition. They say, if this condition is met, then love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, or then love. And then throughout life,
what appears as the journey, we could say, to actualizing the vision, they're seeking for particular conditions to be met, for the person to say this, for the person to say that, for the person to do this, for the person to do that, not say this, not say that, not do this, not do that. And they suffer along the way because they think they lack love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment.
They think that it is only if this condition is met, whatever the condition they placed upon consciousness, which is illusory and not needed as God does everything perfectly, only if these conditions are met, only if that condition is met and they're comparing in relation to the various aspects of the journey to actualizing the vision, let's say, in relation to environments, in relation to capabilities, in relation to behaviors. They're comparing conditions.
This must mean that this is not who I am because of this condition. This means the vision won't be actualized because of this condition. Those are opportunity points to drop the programming, drop those conditions. And what happens is the individual still actualizes the vision. The vision still happens. Yet they are not conditioning consciousness to suggest that only if this condition is met,
Then love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. And to prove the point, since 2004, when I came across Think and Grow Rich, he mentioned set a definite chief aim. I still have definite chief aims. I've been setting definite chief aims since 2004. This one is written on the back of a wonderful Christmas card given to me by my mom and my sister.
And all of them have been actualized. And over the years, what I have done is I just kept releasing these conditions placed upon consciousness that suggest only when the definite chief aim is materialized, then I can experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. It is an illusion to think that. Clearly, we just articulated, proved the point. You experienced yourself as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. So why do you need to seek it externally?
God is the source of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. So we fulfill ourselves within by returning back to the source, by releasing those conditions along the way. The definite chief aims still actualize, yet over the course, as I release these conditions, like how we're talking about here, what happened was I am the way and the acknowledgement that flow is the way. The path of least resistance is the way.
The path of not trying to control is the way. The path of not doing the unnecessary reveals the way, which is perfect as it is, as God does everything. God appears to animate all. Opportunities show up, relationships show up to be in harmony. Opportunities appear to be in harmony. That is reality. I don't need to pretend that this is the way it is. It is this way.
The illusions of I suggest they are not. So how does one release the illusions of I? So let's bring up the model again. In relation to capabilities, in relation to environments, in relation to behaviors, allow God to remold what appears as I, we could say, or the personal identity, which is God's business, not mine.
Why? Because that is a metaphysical concept, personal identity. Where is it? Where's this personal identity? Where are the values and beliefs? They're only in mind. It's metaphysical. God doeth the work. I can't myself do nothing. The Father would then doeth the work. All of that is remolded. Everything is remolded, actually. The environments, the capabilities, the behaviors, the values and beliefs, the behaviors to be in alignment with true identity, which is you.
Now, what happens is we can then afterwards, let's say as we're actualizing the vision or after the visions have been actualized, we can point to ourselves and say, oh, wow, look at this. This is what my personal identity is like now.
This is what my values and beliefs are like now. This is what my environments are like now. This is what my behaviors are like now. My capabilities are like now. God does everything. God transformed it. I simply did not put my bias or interfere with this. At times, I may acknowledge, like for example with auto-suggestion, you may acknowledge as you receive within the auto-suggestions, like you receive the visions from within via intuition,
and acknowledge, to purify the subconscious mind from those beliefs of limitation that do not represent you. So rather than forming this personal identity based on limitations and then experiencing those confirmation biases of limitation, if the condition is met, then happiness, if the condition is not, and walk on eggshells, let God do everything.
You receive everything within. You receive the plans, the hunches, the inspirations. You receive the auto-suggestion, the visions. And things happen on their own. I don't interfere. As mentioned, if I interfere, it generates interference patterns. I can't myself do nothing. The Father within doeth the work. I simply accept that I am love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Whatever that implies. You can imagine what implies. You can feel what implies here.
We're transcending any appearance and going straight to the source and saying, upon experience, it's embodied as what we may refer to as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Then you know thyself and know thy true nature of thyself, and mind is purified. Mind continues to be purified. God does that as well. As you return to God, God does everything for you. Mind is purified.
mind is purified from the illusions of i which again suggest lack of love happiness peace bliss fulfilment not being who you desire to be not having what you desire and i am the way is experienced as flow i am the way the way is flow for example in taoism this is referred to the way of life the way of life the way of life happens
without interference, without resistance, wu-wei, deliberately doing nothing for a reason, we could say. Non-doing, what that means is not doing the unnecessary because I, through these conditions placed upon consciousness, thinks that I need to interfere with this and do this and do that. The grand scheme, the perfect play of God is happening perfectly as it does now.
We let the light be as the light was in the beginning now and ever shall be, perfect as it is now. That is reality. So I trust you found this video to be helpful. Let's conclude this with an auto-suggestion to further encourage. You can say, I know that I am the way of life. Thus I remain in flow to be as I am, to experience the path of least resistance, the effortless way, which is my way,
happening to be in harmony and in contribution with all to actualize the way i am the way the way is the way of life thus i flow as i am body appears to flow everything appears to flow to be in harmony as it was in the beginning now and ever shall be as only god alone exists
