Today we are going to dig into a very very important concept from The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Spiritual Success by Deepak Chopra which is the law of Pure Potentiality. Let’s start by reading a passage from Deepak Chopra’s book “The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Spiritual Success”.

He says “When you discover your essential nature and know who you really are, in that knowing itself is the ability to fulfill any dream you have… and the more you experience your true nature, the closer you are to the field of pure potentiality.” It is not more complicated than that. If you want to fulfill any dream you have, you have to know what that dream is, and by doing that, unleashing your pure potentiality by realizing that you have the power to realize it. We have been working very hard together every single day, finding our purpose, finding our signature strengths, brushing up on our virtues. Basically, installing a deep sense of identity, of knowing who we are, and realizing what we are capable of doing. There is a good reason why the law of pure potentiality is his law #1. From realizing this, all that follows is possible. He continues by saying: “ When you experience the power of the Self, there is an absence of fear, there is no compulsion to control, and no struggle for approval or external power… Your true Self, which is your spirit, your soul, is completely free of those things. It is immune to criticism, it is unfearful of any challenge, and it feels beneath no one. “ I would add though, that the power of the self is not the ego. It is your self-confidence, your self-worth. Believing in yourself, in your potential, in your personal power without craving the approval of others external to your internal, intimate, deep self. Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great writer and thinker, puts it that way: “There’s nothing capricious in nature, and the implanting of a desire indicates that its gratification is in the constitution of the creature that feels it” There is nothing capricious in nature. You might call nature god, or the universe or the spirits, or whatever suits you best, just know that it is not capricious. If you have a desire, and I know that you do otherwise you would probably not be watching me this morning, then you must know that you have the power and the ability to manifest that desire. Before we really understand the law of pure potentiality though, we will need stillness. “ But first, you have to practice stillness. Stillness is the first requirement of manifesting your desires because in stillness lies your connection to the field of pure potentiality that can orchestrate an infinity of details for you “ Finding the stillness. Maybe easier said than done, but we are working on it together every single day. Deepak Chopra recommends meditation, 30 minutes, preferably twice a day. If you have been skipping those and that meditation really isn’t your thing, then there are other ways for you to find stillness. Simply sitting in front of the ocean, and doing nothing. Or going for a walk in nature. You can sit on a nice bench, without your iPhone and podcasts and music and the radio, and simply breathe. Slow down. Find stillness.

Journaling exercise:

Take a few minutes to write down our desires. What are your desires? Preferably, let’s think of our internal desires, ie, leading a fulfilling life, what would that look like, or living to our best capabilities, what would that look like, or radiating love, how would that look like. Yes, your desires might be a bigger house a faster car, more money, etc, but for the exercise, let’s focus on intrinsic goals.
