Native American wisdom to make it big in life.
There is an old Navajo tribal saying that changed my life entirely at a time when I was paralyzed by fear and doubt.
The saying is short and straightforward but is of unfathomable mystical and spiritual depth.
It goes like this, “Jump, and the floor will appear.”
Jump, and the floor will appear.
It sounds easy, but it is not.
It is tough to escape our comfort zone (even if comfort destroys us) and dare to step into the unknown.
It is a feeling similar to vertigo, which very few dare to experience, but among the few who dare are those who achieve their dreams.
But how to take the first step and face the unknown?
It is necessary to align the inner self and reality.
Sometimes we desperately look for an outside that corresponds to what we carry inside. That’s why we don’t jump; that’s why we cling to the material.
Because we identify with it, we cannot let go.
And you can’t jump into the void if you cling tooth and nail to the reality you identify with.
To do this, as you may have already deduced, you must start by changing how you feel inside so that your outside is different.
Vibration
If you vibrate in scarcity, your outside will reflect your inside.
If you vibrate in fear, your outside will reflect your inside.
But if you vibrate in abundance and love, your outside will also reflect it.
Breaking old patterns and trusting is the key.
When I hit rock bottom, I did many weird things, including sleeping on the floor.
My journey
I justified myself by thinking that monks in certain spiritual traditions did the same thing, but the reality is that I didn’t feel worthy of sleeping in a bed like a human being. I felt like a dog.
And I was subconsciously looking for my reality to reflect that. I was self-sabotaging and clinging to everything external so that my inner vision of myself would be identified.
Everything changed when I did something as simple as going back to sleep in a bed as a human being.
For me, it was experiencing for the first time the “Jump up, and the floor will appear.”
Sometimes it’s just about doing the things you have to do.
We make life too complicated for ourselves. And we don’t understand that we are dual, zeros, and ones: soul and body. And the body (our 3d reality) does not have to know everything. That is the work of the soul, which is infinite.
Therefore, when we take that first step, we must detach ourselves. It is not our mission to achieve success but to do what is necessary and let the universe, through the soul, arrange what it believes we need to experience for further spiritual growth.
It is a leap of faith.
Listen to your gut
We investigate everything with our heads: whether external or internal.
The foot we investigate with the head, the digestive system we explore with the head, the bones we study with the head, and the head we analyze with the head.
Why not start investigating the head with the heart and with the entrails? If it feels good, it is done; if it does not, it is not.
Indeed something inside you knows exactly what you must do to take that first step, jump into the void, and trust that the floor will appear.
Please do it.
Indeed it’s not as big a deal as you think. The magic of life is in the alchemy of the day-to-day.
One small, decisive action can awaken a ripple effect in your life that changes it completely.
I started sleeping in bed and ended up writing books 🙂
You may have to make peace with someone, go for a walk, or stop eating junk food.
Ask your gut; it (which is your instinct) knows what to do.
And then take the leap, detach yourself from the outcome, trust that leap of faith, and the floor will appear 🙂
