End Negative Thinking with the Gentle Art of Self-Validation
·OnlineOnlineNEWS FLASH: You have needs! Ok, so maybe you already knew that. But do you know where your needs are taking you? You are predestined to live happy ever after, thriving in the paradise of a Universe that’s perfectly designed around you. OK! But how can we possibly know this? Because sequential time and separated space aren’t real; they’re constructions of the mind in learning processes. Like the quantum fields of physics, everything is forever here and now, including the highest future evolved you that’s maintaining paradise for you. Once you really know this, the journey of getting there is as happy as the destination of being there. Your only obstacle to joy is not believing in your own successful self, because what you don’t believe you can’t begin to experience. And that toxic doubtfulness is the job of false negative beliefs, to fill you with the negative thinking that keeps you blocked, stuck, compromising and hopeless.
Join us Sunday Aug 16, 2026 for a free liberating talk on the greatest challenge now facing you and all of your humanity: how to end the negative thinking that sabotages happy-ever-after. Isn’t it interesting that the word humanity refers to both the people outside of you, and the morality inside of you? Many visionary humanitarians, including 20th century inventor Buckminster Fuller, have observed that modern humanity has all the tools it needs to solve all of its problems, including hunger, pollution, disease, climate change, and war. Nature is the storehouse of endless abundance. The only thing we lack is coordinated will. Without cooperation, people compete endlessly and wreck their own best possibilities for a happy healthy future. But is the cooperation that we need internal or external?
When Bucky Fuller was 32 years old, he lost his job as the president of an affordable housing company. Penniless, he became so depressed and hopeless to support his wife and daughter that he decided to drown himself for the insurance money. But when he tried, he was pulled out of his body and suspended in a ball of light above his head. There he was told by a higher power, “You do not have the right to eliminate yourself. You do not belong to you. You belong to the Universe.” Bucky was instructed to henceforth no longer be concerned to see the results of his actions, only to know that he will think the truth and work for the highest good of all. He must believe in his worth and know that good is coming from his life experience.
When Bucky was returned to his body, he was forever changed. He pledged to think independently of society and other people in “the search for the principles governing the universe and help advance the evolution of humanity in accordance with them". Today Buckminster Fuller is remembered as the idealistic inventor of the geodesic dome, tensegrity, and affordable construction techniques to help make the world a better place. His legacy inspires endlessly, and many like myself recognize him as the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci.
Cooperation with the future starts within. You must learn to validate your own self-worth, even when life doesn’t go your way. You are learning to discern the self-selected beliefs that create your own reality, and indeed to even believe that beliefs generate the experience of any reality. Many people think reality is physically objective and material, which is a fine place to start for making a good life. Yes, everyone wants a good life, it’s just that not everyone knows yet how to get there. So if reality is objective for well-intending human beings, then why the hell doesn’t everyone just scientifically agree on the same objective facts so we can do good things together? Instead, modern life is split by tribes of different competing beliefs, many of which are insanely self-destructive. The conclusion is that reality is not objective. There is an objective paradise ahead, but it is subjectively filtered by each person’s beliefs for themselves.
For this meeting, recall the recurring negative thoughts that hold you back in life. What emotions and experiences do you get stuck in consequently? What if that just isn’t the real you that you need to be? We’ll see how the Universe is counting on you to believe more in yourself, by the spirit human partnership that replaces the negative ego, aka personal devil, source of all your problems. We’ll consider strategies for healing your human hurt to leave negativity forever and conclude with a guided meditation to work more with your higher self on the path of happy ever after.
Welcome! Our Inner Selves Mastery spiritual support group is free online every Sunday 11am-130pm EDT, with the last 30 minutes for a guided meditation. If you can’t stay you can get the recording.
