The True Source of Fulfillment: Don’t Settle for Mere Numb Happiness!

“In my anger I am not blind. In my fear, I am not afraid to tell you what I feel.
We are your own children. Are we even a priority?
My dad always says: “You are not what you say. You are what you do.”
Well, what you do makes me cry at night.

You adults say you love us.
Please, make your actions reflect your words.
Thank you.”

Watch the video below from 20 years ago:

I had a moment of clarity recently.

There are a lot of teachers who teach

“What you focus on expands” meaning “don’t focus on the negative”.

And that is of course a roundabout way of saying: “Just stick your heads in the sand and you will be happy!”

Of course you will feel happy when you put your heads in the sand! DUH!

But it’s the most numb way of feeling happy ever.

And that happiness is a far cry from the deep level of fulfillment I feel these days.

Because what is actually empowering and fulfilling is not what you focus on but rather where you OPERATE from!

Just keep operating from the resourceful creative part of you that has access to all the solutions to the world’s challenges while being simultaneously being aware of those challenges!

That’s the key!

****************************

We do live in a fucked-up world.

There really is economic inequality.

Rape culture is real.

Monsanto exists. And they really are waging chemical and biological warfare against us.

Brainwashed people exist.

It is not “being a victim” or “having a victim-mentality” to recognize all that.

And yet, we also live in a beautiful world full of kind loving trustworthy smart people.

We do have more resources than we realize.

We always do have access to the resourceful creative part of us that is capable of giving infinite meaning to every event and therefore infinite possibility.

Collectively, we really are infinitely capable of solving the world’s challenges.

And it’s not going to be by putting our heads in the sand!

It’s going to be by accessing the creative resourceful part of us that is always clear and having a good time all day long!

The Hero’s Journey

Watch this video below:

I recently watched the new Oz movie “Oz: the Great and Powerful Wizard” and then “The Lego Movie”.
You know what’s interesting?
They are both the SAME movie!
I see it this way because I saw both movies from the lens of the Hero’s Journey.
Even the characters are the same.
So let’s unpack this, shall we?

In Oz:
1. The hero: the small-time magician/con-artist who will eventually be known as the Wizard of Oz (who in the beginning of the movie is selfish, a fake, not even good, but desires greatness)

2. He lives in a mundane world. And he thinks that’s all there is to it.

3. He is transported to an entirely new world beyond his imagination (He is Awakened. A little bit. It’s a mental awakening but not an emotional awakening. Not yet).

4. He meets the Herald (Theodora the Good Witch. Milas Kunis’s Character). She announces he is the Wizard.

5. He meets the other Witch who claims she is a good witch too (but is secretly the bad witch. This is the shape-shifter who is also the Shadow, the arch-enemy the Hero has to defeat).

6. He eventually meets his mentor, Glendora the Good who right off the bat straight up tells him: “”I know you’re not really a Wizard and I know you are selfish, etc.” But she eventually told him: “But you’re our only hope. The people doesn’t know you’re not a Wizard. They just need to believe you are. Therefore, you need to give them the greatest show. I believe you can do this.” This is the Call. Predictably, he refuses the Call at first but eventually agrees to do it.

In the Lego movie:
1. The hero: the Construction worker (who is a mindless zombie).

2. He lives in a mundane world. And he thinks that’s all there is to it. In fact, not only that. He has been zombified into being a mindless zombie, a robot, just a cog in a machine, not special at all.

3. He meets the Herald.

4. The herald transports him into an entirely new world.

5. He is shown many amazing worlds beyond what he knew.

6. He meets the mentor.

7. The mentor and the Herald do some pistol-whipping: give him a wake-up call: “You’re not really the Special, are you? You lied to me” and also: “That is the worst idea ever!”

8. They eventually help him see that he can be the Special. (In fact, it’s his very empty mind that is going to save the day.)

9. He is given the Call to be a hero which he also at first refuses but eventually agrees.

10. In both movies, it’s the abilities he already has that save the day that at first seemed to be useless.

There are parallels even in the minor characters in the two movies. For example, the equivalent of the China girl in Oz is the Unikitty in the Lego movie!

Now look at the Matrix movie and compare. Again, you will find that it is the SAME story!

And an important common theme in every Hero’s journey is the Refusal of the Call followed by the mentor showing him THE BIG DIRTY SECRET OF THE WORLD THEY LIVE IN.

For a powerful example of this, watch this scene from the story of Sonmi-451 from the movie “Cloud Atlas”:

It’s usually only after being shown this big dirty secret that the Hero accepts their Call!

And it’s only after he accepts the Call that the Hero experiences the deepest level of fulfillment possible!

It’s the deepest level possible because he is literally creating his own Personal Legend by fully living his Heart-Virtue and transforming his Sacred Rage into Sacred Passion and then Sacred Passion into Sacred Action.

You see now why all the “Stick your heads in the sand” teachings are so misleading?

Don’t settle for mere numb happiness.

Reach for a deeper fulfillment!
