Living My Dreams: A Seven-Step Guide

Throughout my life, there were seasons when it was clear that I walked with God. I read my Bible daily, attended church every Sunday and Wednesday, tithed 10% of my salary, evangelised and shared my faith almost every day, and studied the Bible with non-believers to help them adopt my way of life. In those days, the Apostle Paul was my benchmark, and I followed Christ as he followed Christ, to the best of my ability.

Later in life, it could be said that I turned my back on God. I no longer attended church, I no longer read the Bible, and I stopped praying to the God I once worshipped. I became free of religious dogma, though I still believed I was a created being and that there was an afterlife. I consider my first journey totally religious, and my second journey totally spiritual. I walked this path in isolation, yet many supernatural events encouraged my faith and belief in the unseen. I still prayed, but no longer to the God of the Bible; instead, I prayed to the unknown. I kept Christ and the Spirit in my heart, though I had no idea why — they simply felt like the fabric of my being, while God had begun to feel foreign to me.

Eventually, I came across the teachings of Gnosticism, and to my astonishment, my secret innermost beliefs mirrored exactly what the ancient Gnostics taught. Their writings didn’t introduce anything new to me; they simply validated what had been deep in my heart and gave names to concepts I had imagined but had no language for. The Source and the Aeons became recognisable terms for what I had always intuited existed before the birth of this Universe.

Over time, I came to see a simple truth: God is a being within this Universe, but Source is the Universe and beyond. And if Source is the field in which everything exists, including gods, beings, thoughts, matter, and consciousness, then my relationship is not with an external ruler — it is with the very fabric I exist within.

That realisation became the foundation of my journey, and from it, this seven-step guide emerged — not to teach others, but to remind myself how to live in alignment with the field that forms and responds to me.

And so I begin with the first truth I had to face:

1) Know the Field

I exist inside a living, conscious field of intelligence. My alignment with it shapes what becomes real for me. It helps me deeply to know what I am dealing with. This intelligent field is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. It is infinite and eternal. In it, I live and exist eternally.

Every state of my being — physical, spiritual, and emotional — unfolds inside this field. Even when I leave this realm or die physically, I remain within it. To call this field infinite and eternal is to acknowledge that no matter what form I take, all of my existence happens within this all-intelligent, all-encompassing field.

The field is not a God, though many call it that. To do so is to limit my understanding to what I believe God to be. That becomes confusing because the field has no religion, no left or right, no concept of good or evil. It is all-encompassing. According to scripture, God can be pleased or disappointed based on behaviour; the field simply is.

One of the strangest and most liberating realisations I’ve ever had is knowing that God exists within the same omnipresent field as me. What scripture describes is a powerful being — yet still just a being — with likes, dislikes, a personality, and a character. Source has no single character but is all characters. No fixed personality, yet all personalities. Omniscient and complete.

God has people who worship him. Source is all the people — and the atoms that hold them together — and the very breath that sustains them. As they think, Source is the thought-energy and the fabric of their thoughts.

The field cannot be insulted. If I choose to call the field a God, a Deity, a Being, a Mushroom, or a Cheeseburger, no crime is committed. It is impossible to sin against Source. Can a flea offend an elephant? Can a pig upset a galaxy? Then how could I possibly sin against the creator of universes?

There are many Gods in scripture, but to apply their limitations to the Source behind existence is like comparing a galaxy to the entire universe and beyond. God is a being people pray to, but it is the field that mirrors the one who prays and manifests according to the energy given.

The field is in my DNA, my atoms, my molecules, my thought patterns, my electrical impulses, and my chemicals. It forms my thoughts as I think and feel my emotions with me as I feel. The field experiences life through me, as me, and reflects my inner world outward.

God and Source are not the same. The source contains all gods just as it contains all beings. It forms the thoughts of gods as they think and feel their emotions as they feel. The source is the inner workings of every god, but no god is the source of existence. A god is only the source of its own reality, just as I am the source of mine. In this, I am like God: powered by the infinite, unknowable Source.

2) I Am Completely Real and Honest

I do not pretend with reality, and I do not negotiate with the field I exist in. I cannot be judged or condemned by it, so bargaining, manipulating, or performing in anger is pointless.

What works is being completely real, completely honest, and fully transparent with myself. I meet myself as I am, not as I wish to appear. I maintain a mindset of total truth — no hiding, no posturing, no spiritual acting.

The field responds to what I am, not what I pretend to be. I choose honesty with myself before anything else.

3) I Get the Help I Need

When I struggle, when I feel broken, or when my thoughts turn dark, I reach for help. If I carry trauma, if my decision-making feels damaged, I speak to someone. I seek support.

I do not just pray, “Oh God, heal me,” expecting an external force to fix me. The field moves as I move; it flows through me, not around me. I am the conscious decision-maker of my life. When my decision-making is weak or broken, I strengthen it by reaching out, healing, and learning.

There is enough wisdom, enough people, enough care in this world to help me on my way. The field mirrors my willingness; as I move toward healing, the field moves through me to heal.

4) I Know Myself

I explore who I am. I examine my likes and dislikes, attractions and repulsions, distractions and drives. I observe what moves me, inspires me, frustrates me, or drains me.

The deeper I know myself, the more I can act deliberately and live aligned with my inner truth. I become my own guide, my own compass, my own witness.

---

5) I Accept and Validate Myself

I accept myself fully, without needing approval from anyone else. I validate my own existence and choices.

I look at the parts of myself I don’t like and decide whether to change them — not because I must, but because it serves me. And in all of this, I embrace who I already am.

I permit myself to be whole. I allow myself to feel worthy, capable, and enough. I become my own source of affirmation.

6) I Let Love Flow Through Me

I allow love — the most powerful positive energy — to flow through me. Love is not about liking or disliking; it is the protection and sustenance of life itself.

I may encounter people I do not like. I do not need to like them. But I can love them by honoring their existence, protecting their life, and allowing life to continue.

By letting love flow through me, I align with the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent force of the field. I become a channel for life, for care, for energy that nurtures the world around me. Love moves through me, not as emotion alone, but as intention, action, and the force that allows life to flourish.

7) I Live My Dreams

I align myself with the field. I am completely real and honest. I have sought the help I need. I know myself deeply. I accept and validate myself. I let love flow through me.

With all of this in place, I move deliberately into my life. I act from clarity, authenticity, and alignment. I focus my energy on the life I wish to create. I live with intention, guided by my inner truth and the intelligence of the field.

I am the source of my own reality. I am the conscious creator of my life. I step forward fully, living my dreams, honouring the life I am given, and manifesting the world that mirrors the depth of my being.

This is my foundation. This is who I am when I live aligned. This is how I become the person I am meant to be. Now, I go forth and live my dreams.
