I lied to Dr Zach Bush
When I was recording the Podcast with Zach Bush, I wanted to tell him that, when I filled out the MEDIA REQUEST FORM that his team had sent, I lied about the number of VIEWS my channel had.
Well, I didn't lie directly, because my YouTube channel does have 780,000 views, but I omitted to mention that 94% of them come from a single video that I uploaded 14 years ago and it's not even mine. But Borat taking karate classes.
I wanted to tell him this in the middle of the conversation, but I didn't. And I didn't tell him because his words had raised us to such a level of consciousness and presence that I felt that those things were not so relevant and could break the flow that had us levitating while we recorded.
Let me explain. I am beginning to believe that there is a space of consciousness that goes beyond words, where our faults are forgiven, our shame healed, our envy turns irrelevant. A place where we accept all of our humanity and embrace even those things that we know are deeply wrong. Like wishing ill to others.
I have said many times that I believe that, as humanity, we should spend time grieving, asking for forgiveness, going to therapy, healing wounds, making amends. Yes. But I'm beginning to believe that there is a place ofexistence - Zach calls it The Fifth Dimension - where we are in such state of love, compassion, patience, trust -where we don't have to seek approval from others-, nor atonement of our sins, that we can inhabit that place.
It is very hard for me to put words to that dimension, because our language is not made to be able to describe something like that. Our language -and I am not referring only to Spanish (this article was published in Spanish originally)- is within this dimension.
So maybe an example is a good idea.
In the Course I teach about Complex Thinking, there are classes in which after 100 slides with statistics, papers, information, graphs, trends, quotes, and economic and political predictions, we are overwhelmed by how complex and complicated our reality is. It's like our brains get saturated and we can´t feel but helpless knowing and feeling how difficult it is to change paradigms. Somehow, we realize that it will not only be a matter of taxing sugary drinks and banning straws, or studying Functional Medicine, Coaching and Integrative Nutrition, but changing the entire architecture of our systems and even human cognition itself.
I know that Complex, Critical, Multidisciplinary and Systemic thinking is one of the best bets we can make for this new structure and, nevertheless, I know that this energy and this clarity will not come from the mind or from supercomputers, but from love. Osr whatever that feeling of total acceptance and total empowerment is called.
Joe Dispenza and the like say that if you can't feel yourself in a higher state than you feel today, there's no way you can create another reality.
That's why Zach says that we should forget the language of diabetes, cancer and chronic kidney failure, and create a language that expresses, every millisecond, the profound mystery of life. That language, without words perhaps, would leave disease, corruption, hatred, and isolation out of our cognition.
This state of existence is more like the trace of a scent forgotten in the future than a place where we can go and pay for a guided tour.
That's the reality that people like Zach know we inhabit. Biophysics has shown it, but also biochemistry, astrophysics and ecology. Sciences that reached the limit of their languages and technologies to measure and explain everything. But these sciences sense a deeper and more beautiful mystery than what they have already described so beautifully and profoundly.
I sometimes feel envious when I am close to friends who have more likes, who are invited to more conferences, who have more views to show when they invite guests to their podcasts. But why do I want Zach Bush on my podcast? To feel enough in this dimension? So that he validates me? Or to walk together in that possibility of the fifth dimension? And then, if it is so, can't I just believe it and create it for and by myself?
They say that good scientists and good mystics get along very well and after six generations of teaching my course I realize why. I feel that my role is changing from teaching how to think, to experiencing together the scent of a mere possibility. And then, in some sessions, when we stop pretending that we can know everythingthere is to know about reality, we come to a place where we thinkfeel. And at that moment, our system is nolonger saturated. We feel an invitation, where strength, courage, empathy, mourning, and other such powerful emotions of this dimension are not needed anymore, and we let go as if our own home is receiving us incelebration. It is not, then, "my body ”, but “I am body”. It is not "the world" but "I am the world". It is not “I am something”, but only “I am”. “We am”. From that unconditional communion, the paradigm shift is not only possible, but perhaps already here.
Of course, this "being here" implies banning straws and studying coaching, or whatever you want, but we do it from a sense of complete possibility; Of course there are battles to fight, but the change will only come from dance, poetry, smile and gratitude; From the communion of people who yearn for the same scents. This is exactly what we want to give to our patients who are unknowingly looking to get out of the lexicon of disease.
Only that energy, that love, that non-word, can have that restructuring force.
Anyway, I'm going to send this article to Zach to apologize for leaving out the thing about the views in my YouTube channel.
Anyway, I will openly say that I am sending this email to try to attract people to my course that is about to open in a few weeks.
The less I hide, the more I find myself. The more I loosen my labels and viewcounts, the less lost and saturated.
I invite you to thinkfeel in the Next Course that begins on March 22, where I added a new class precisely so that we share the mystical love within Complex, Critical, Multidisciplinary and Systemic Thought. (course will be thought in Spanish)
Thank you, from this and other dimensions.
