Change Your Box, Change Your Reality

 

Over the years, I’ve developed a series of teachings and meditations called “Changing Boxes.” 

The practice is based on the idea of leaving an “old box” – where a problem exists in the 3D realm we call “space-time” – and tuning in to a new potential reality of the 5D realm we call “time-space.” 

Thus, we enter a “new box” – one where the challenge no longer exists.

People sometimes get stuck on the idea of what we literally mean by “box” – or think this has to become about visualization. But it can be looser and more playful than that.

In very simple terms, think of this practice as a way of overcoming the known to make way for the unknown. The “old box” is your current personal reality; the same old way of thinking, feeling, and behaving ... your same way of seeing the same problems, which inevitably limits you to the same outcomes.

And the “new box” can be ... anything you haven’t thought of before. 

A new way of seeing; of thinking; of feeling; of behaving. A new way of being. A reality where there is no problem.

So, when you “change boxes,” you leave the same old personality self behind. You overcome the known in 3D reality and tune in to new, 5D reality where unlimited new potentials exist. You become aware of the possibility of a new box. 

From there, it becomes possible to create a new personal reality.

If the concept is new to you, it may seem challenging at first. 

But once you get it, I assure you it’s an easy way to shift your consciousness, move out of the “old box” of the present reality you are stuck in, tune in to a new dimension of opportunities in your life, and, ultimately, emerge in a “new box” – a new reality.

First, let’s explore the fundamentals that underpin this practice.

Fueling Problems With Attention and Energy

Let’s begin with the idea that the problems or conditions in our lives are created from our level of consciousness – or, as is more often the case, unconsciousness. So, if you’re faced with an adversity or challenge you can’t seem to get beyond, it’s because you’re most likely bringing the same level of mind to the issue that created it in the first place.

Let’s say that every day, you’re thinking about a problem in the same exact way. 

That’s because your brain is a memory bank of everything you know and have experienced. 

So, based on your past experience, you have a neurological network in your brain associated with every person, object, thing, or place at a certain time in your life.

In a sense, when you think about those familiar problems or challenges, you are thinking in the past. Said another way, you are viewing your current reality through the lens of a past, known consciousness.

For every one of those thoughts (or memories) associated with the problem or person, there is an associated emotion. 

Emotions are the chemical end-products of past experiences. 

In other words, your emotional reactions to any problem in your life cause your body to live in the past – and thus, to think equal to that emotion. In a sense, your consciousness is equal to the consciousness – or unconsciousness – that created it.

If how you think and how you feel creates your state of being, then your reaction to the conditions and problems in your life only serves to reaffirm the same body, mind, thoughts, feelings, actions, and reactions related to the problem. Thus, the stronger the emotional reaction you have to the problem or condition, the more you pay attention to it.

In this work, we learn that where you place your attention is where you place your energy. 

And so, by giving a problem your attention, you’re keeping it alive in your life by giving your energy to it.

As a result, you’re giving your very life force away to that problem. 

That’s energy you could be using to create a different reality. 

That means there’s a good possibility you might be the reason why the problem hasn’t changed – because you haven’t changed your energy.

And, since nothing changes in your life until you change your energy, theoretically, that’s why your situation is staying the same.

So, then, once you understand this, the questions become: 

1. How can you become unencumbered by the energy of your problems? 
2. How can you change your energy and move to a greater level of consciousness; one where the challenge no longer exists?

This is where we get deeper into the practice behind the “Changing Boxes” meditations.

There are two fundamental tenets of this work:

1. Where you place your attention is where you place your energy.
2. Nothing changes in your life ... until you change your energy.

Which led to some fundamental questions:

• How can you become unencumbered by the energy of your problems or challenges?

• How can you change your energy and move to a greater level of consciousness; one where the challenge or problem no longer exists?

Now, let’s explore what it means to ascend our energy – and work with it in the quantum field.

The Strength of Your Signal

Think of emotions as “energy in motion.” 

And if every day your negative emotions are creating the same energy to react to the same problem, then that energy produces a specific signal in the quantum field.

Now, if that signal comes from an incoherent brain and heart, you’re producing an energetic frequency carrying thoughts that no longer have coherence, or syntropy. 

Instead, they have entropy – which means they have less power over your three-dimensional reality. 

It’s simply a weaker signal. 

It makes sense, then, that a weak signal would exert weaker effects on outcomes in your life – especially when it comes to the energy needed to change a persistent, challenging situation.

As we talked about, you can’t solve a problem from the same level of consciousness (or unconsciousness) that created it. 

This means you have to reach a greater level of consciousness than the one that’s actually reinforcing the issue at hand.

This is where we begin to fully explore how to move to a greater level of mind – where the problem or challenge no longer exists.

Thoughts as Patterns

When you’re triggered by a problem or situation, you’ve most likely experienced it many times before – meaning it has an associated neurological network in your brain. 

This means you have emotions associated with the problem, as well.

These well-established connections create a vicious cycle whereby your reaction to the situation – real or imagined – is actually feeding the problem with the same energy. 

And if you keep feeding the same problem with the same energy, you get the same reality.

Now, if thoughts are the electrical charge that you send out into the field ... and feelings are the magnetic charge that draws reality to you ... and how you think and how you feel is broadcasting an electromagnetic signature on a moment-to-moment basis ... then your memories of the past and your reaction to your outer environment are keeping everything the same.

In other words, how you think and how you feel creates your reality. 

And if you keep thinking and feeling the same way, then your life will remain the same.

Asking Questions That Can Lead to Answers

If you’re stuck in this pattern, ask yourself: 

Does how you think about the challenge or problem strengthen or weaken you?

If you’re having an angry reaction to your ex-partner or your boss, those thoughts and feelings are weakening the body – and, consequently, weakening your field. And if the hormones of stress are activating your survival systems, the result will be incoherence in your brain and heart.

This kind of dissonance becomes part of the thought forms that create a specific kind of energy – an incoherent energy. 

Think of the signal from incoherent energy like static on a radio station. 

When you’re not tuned to the right frequency, you don’t get a clear signal.

In other words, since every thought produces a frequency, your incoherent thoughts are creating poorly formed patterns in the field.

And the more those incomplete patterns become incomplete creations, the more they reinforce the problems you want to resolve. 

Why? Because the pattern is not whole.

As those troubling thoughts produce more stress hormones, and you reinforce this pattern over and over, sickness or disease occurs – because you are signaling the same patterns and gene expression by thought alone.

Your thoughts are literally making you sick.

Now, ask yourself: 

Is anyone or anything worth it?

Becoming Aware of Possibilities

Let’s return to the premise I briefly described – the concept behind “Changing Boxes.”

I want you to think of yourself, confronting the same old problems with the same old thoughts and the same old feelings – giving your attention and energy to those the challenges in your life in the same old way – as someone who is trapped in a box.

To an observer watching you from outside that box, wouldn’t it seem obvious you’re not being very loving to yourself – especially if you keep doing this for an extended period of time?

Now, consider this. 

If you understand that all possibilities exist in the quantum field, then there already is a door you haven’t thought of or known about ... a way out of the current situation you are in.

There already is a way out of that same old box.

However, you can’t see your way out of that challenge if you’re looking at it from the same level of mind – the emotions, thoughts, and feelings of the past. In order to see a way out, you would have to take all your attention, energy, emotions, and thoughts – your consciousness – off the obstacle that exists in your 3D reality – and turn it toward possibility.

That’s what we mean when we say you can’t solve the problem from the same level of consciousness that created it. 

You have to evolve to a greater level of mind to find your way in to that new box.

Moving to a Greater Level of Consciousness 

As we discussed, when you react to problems or challenges in your life, your thoughts and feelings produce patterns in the quantum field. That’s because thoughts create electrical charges and feelings produce magnetic charges – the totality of which is the energy you broadcast into the field, moment by moment. 

Whatever you broadcast into the field is your experiment with destiny.

And so, when you react to those challenges in the same way, your energy stays the same – meaning your life stays the same. Because, at the same time you’re broadcasting that energy, you’re producing corresponding patterns in your brain that release the same chemicals in your body – which affects your biology and gene expression in the same way. 

And if your response is creating the emotions of stress, this string of events will influence your health – and, ultimately, your life.

Before we move on, let’s go back to that problem in your life that won’t go away. 

The problem keeping you stuck in that “old box.”

Every time you can become conscious of the unconscious thoughts associated with that problem (for example: I quit. I can’t do it. I’m not good enough. This situation is never going to change), you lower the volume of the self-limiting voice in your head – the voice that repeats those same limited thoughts hundreds of times a day. 

That voice represents what you unconsciously believe to be true.

It’s important to notice these blind spots – because the more you become conscious and aware of these thoughts; the more familiar you are with them; the more you’re able to break the programs that enslave you to the same conditions in your life.

That’s because the more you become conscious of those programs, the less prone you will be to go unconscious in your daily life.

In other words, every time you become aware of the thoughts that are sponsored by feelings of resentment, suffering, shame, anxiety, control, pain, anger, or frustration, you are climbing a ladder.

You are moving to a greater level of consciousness.

As you move through those dense layers of emotion, you begin to raise your own personal energy. 

And – because you can’t have energy without awareness or consciousness – when you raise your energy, you raise your awareness. 

You’re moving to a greater level of mind than that which created the problem in the first place. 

And as you move to that greater level of mind, you begin to become aware of new possibilities. 

You begin to become aware of a “new box.”

Merging With the Field

When you practice any meditation, it’s vitally important you first get to the point where you disassociate from everything known to you – everything you perceive and experience with the senses. 

Done properly, you divest all your attention and energy out of this 3D realm of separation – “space-time” – where everything is local, defined by your senses, and material in space and time. 

If where you place your attention is where you place your energy, then the moment you take all your attention off everything known and material in your 3D reality, you’re opening the door to the unknown – the quantum field. 

You become no body, no one, no thing, no where, in no time.

And now, you are pure consciousness in the eternal now – the generous present moment. 

We call this process getting beyond the known self.

As you learn how to “dial down” your neocortex – your “thinking brain” – to create very coherent, low-level, alpha and theta brain waves, you can open your awareness to energy and the unified field. 

Now, you’re in a space where there is nothing physical, material, or known. 

You’re in the unknown – and your awareness can begin to connect to energy or frequency instead of matter. You can cause your biology to become really coherent – because much like your computer connects to WiFi, you’re connecting to a signal. You’re connecting to the field – because that’s where your attention is. 

Now, you’ve overcome your body, your environment, and time. 

You’ve moved from space-time ... to time-space.

The Realm of All Possibilities: 

Time-Space

In time-space, there is nothing material or physical. 

There’s no structure; no form; nothing tangible. 

Everything exists as unmanifest potential. 

In other words, as nothing. The realm of time-space – or what we call “5D” – is rich in frequency, energy, and vibration. That invisible energy connects and gives life to everything physical and material in 3D space-time.

In time-space, there are infinite possibilities. 

There is an infinite amount of time, which means there are infinite potentials for you to experience. When you connect to the frequency of time-space with a coherent nervous system – when you touch it with your awareness – you tune into a greater level of consciousness, information, and order. 

Now, you’re no longer separate from the field. 

And in this moment of connection – in the realm of pure consciousness – you become pure consciousness. 

Bringing It All Together

First, you learned that “Changing Boxes” is based on the idea of leaving an “old box” – where a problem exists in 3D reality – and tuning in to a new potential reality in 5D. 
Thus, you enter a “new box” – one where the challenge no longer exists.

Then, you learned that you can’t solve a problem from the same level of consciousness (or unconsciousness) that created it. 

Combining these ideas, you can see that if you can’t get beyond the consciousness, the energy, the emotion, the thoughts, or the memories of the challenge you face, it will never change – because you’re not changing.

So, in order to find the solution to the challenge you face in 3D reality, you have to get beyond the consciousness that created the problem in the first place. 

In other words, you have to get beyond yourself.

Once you’ve overcome the personality equal to that aspect of your current personal reality and have truly merged with the unified field – as we explored in today’s post – you’re in the realm of all possibilities. 

Here, you can tune in to another reality where the problem or challenge doesn’t exist. 

 

Now, this is where we bridge the theoretical and the practical – and walk through the practice of Changing Boxes, step by step:

Evolving as Eternal Souls

Knowledge is the great parent to experience. 

In other words, the more you obtain new information, the more prepared you are for new experiences.

We’re all faced with great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. 

These are the challenges and problems in our lives, which feel like obstacles – but are actually here to help us evolve as eternal souls on the journey home.

Because, in reality, none of us changes unless we’re challenged.

As we’ve explored, the issues and problems you have in your life (in this 3D world of space-time) have been created from a certain level of consciousness – or unconsciousness. 

So, to resolve those problems, you have to move to a greater level of consciousness than that which created them.

You have to evolve to a greater level of mind.

Now, as you’ve learned, in the realm called time-space, there is nothing material or physical. There’s no structure; no form; nothing tangible. Everything exists as unmanifest potential. 

In other words, as nothing.

That vacuum; that void; that emptiness; that nothing ... that reality that exists beyond your senses ... is rich in frequency, energy, and vibration. And that invisible energy connects and gives life to everything physical and material in 3D space-time.

And in that 5D reality ... in that realm ... there are infinite possibilities.

Observing Reality Into Form

The quantum reality is one where multiple universes and dimensions exist simultaneously. 

It’s the realm of infinite thoughts, unlimited information, and a supreme consciousness that is the epiphenomenon of matter in 3D.

In that realm, every thought has a frequency.

This suggests there is a reality where any problem or challenging condition in your life doesn’t exist – and that you could bring it to life simply by becoming aware of it. And the thought of that possibility existing in that potential reality should produce the frequency or the feeling of freedom ... of relief ... of gratitude ... of joy.

It’s the frequency of that thought that connects you to that possibility. 

Since there’s no separation in the quantum field, the thought – and the experience of that thought – are one.

In 3D reality, the thought of that problem or challenge produces familiar, known, stressful feelings. 

So, when you change your consciousness from the “old box” of thinking, 

• "There is no solution to my problems" ... or, 
• "My life will never change" ... or, 
• "The challenge in my life connected to certain people and things will never be different" 

... to a new consciousness; a “new box” of thinking ... you become aware of a solution or possibility you had never thought of before.

Just by becoming aware of it, you could bring that reality into your life.

In a sense, you could observe that reality into form by changing your consciousness – and therefore, your energy – around that condition.

Following Your Mind to a New Destiny

Once you get beyond your body, your environment, and time ... and become pure consciousness ... you can become aware of a new possibility. 

And in this realm of time-space, consciousness and energy are one.

Thus, change your consciousness; change your energy. 

Change your energy; change your life.

When you practice “Changing Boxes,” you’ll become aware of the possibility in the quantum field where a problem or challenge no longer exists. And in that empty space, where there’s nothing physical or material, you’ll find it ... feel it ... experience it ... become aware of it ... and stay connected to it.

You could bring it to life – you could bring it into your life – by becoming aware of it.

Since where you place your attention is where you place your energy, 

you are placing your energy in a new reality. 

Keep doing it, and your body will follow your mind to that destiny.

Then, once you lock into that frequency; that energy – as a consciousness unaware of 3D reality in that invisible field – you can draw your physical body to you with your heart.

Picturing Infinite Possibilities

Think of it like being in a room in one dimension ... a changing room, let’s say, with mirrors on opposite walls. And picture yourself standing in between those mirrors, seeing an infinite number of your existing in different realities ... in different boxes ... in different rooms … in different dimensions.

In those unlimited, infinite mirror images exist an unlimited, infinite number of possible realities and possible selves.

This is what it’s like to enter the realm of time-space. 

The 5D reality.

Your thought produces an electrical charge in the quantum field. 

And so, once you think about a new possibility, you’re connecting to new information in the field.

Your feeling, then, is the magnetic charge.

So, with that thought – your clear intention – you send the signal out. 

And with that feeling – your elevated emotion – you use your heart’s magnetic field to draw that reality to you in space-time.

When you place your attention and energy in a reality where that problem doesn’t exist, 

your body should follow your mind right to that new future. 

That new box.

Feel Your Connection to It ... 

With Your Heart

Now, the only way you can get out of the present reality where the problem exists is through your heart.

That’s because your heart center possesses a different consciousness than that of anger, fear, suffering, pain, resentment, and lack. When you remain in that old level of consciousness, it keeps the problems in your life the same – because your energy is the same.

The door out of that self-limiting reality lives in your heart.

So, when you’re in the void as pure consciousness, you’ll feel your connection to your body – and start drawing your body to you with your heart.

You’ll practice moving from one reality into another seamlessly – so that, when you open your eyes, something has changed. And a new opportunity or synchronicity begins to appear in your 3-D reality of space-time.

Signs and Synchronicities

Done properly, when you come back to this 3D reality and some small thing – some new change – appears in your life, it’s evidence you’ve moved to a new reality.

It might not be the final outcome, but it’s a sign of your move to a new box. 

Keep doing it, and you can actually arrive in a new 3D reality where the challenge or problem no longer exists.

 

If there are infinite possibilities ... 

if there are infinite realities ... 

then by becoming aware of those possibilities and realities ... 

and by changing the energy that was keeping your current reality the same ... 

you should begin to produce measurable changes in your life.
