<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have you ever felt like everyone else received a map for life except you?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe you’ve watched people confidently pursue careers, relationships, ministries, businesses, or dreams while wondering what you’re supposed to be doing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Or perhaps you’ve <em>decided</em> you have no life-given passions, and therefore no purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If so, you’re not alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the most common questions people ask themselves is:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“What is my purpose?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And while the answer may seem difficult to find, it may be much closer than you think.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rest assured that by the end of this article, you&#8217;ll know:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>why you&#8217;ve doubted your purpose</li>



<li>what&#8217;s distracting you from your purpose</li>



<li>signs that your purpose is already being fulfilled</li>



<li>the exact wording of your individual purpose in this incarnation</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is Purpose?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your purpose is your why. It&#8217;s the reason why you do what you do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, you are in control of your actions, but have you ever considered why you take specific actions?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For instance, why do you get intrigued by certain subjects while others dismiss them?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why do you feel deeper empathy for some more than others when you&#8217;ve never experienced the trauma of those you are empathic toward?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reason is that your purpose lies in your being. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It has little to do with your doing. Yet, it influences what you do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your purpose is the intention behind how you use your body in this physical world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For instance, Michael Jordan’s gift wasn&#8217;t basketball talent. It was an unusual passion for winning, discipline, and greatness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The form it takes is of no consequence. Your essence is reflected in all that you do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So to put it another way, <strong>purpose is simply that which you do on purpose</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It precedes action. It&#8217;s what you propose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this is not why you are here. By inquiring about your purpose, you&#8217;re really asking, &#8220;<a href="https://jclay.org/blog/why-am-i-here/" type="post" id="6737">Why do I exist?</a>&#8220;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An even better question to ask yourself <strong>right now</strong> is: &#8220;Why does my existence matter to me?&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An obvious answer is, &#8220;Because it just does. I&#8217;m me, and I matter.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Go deeper. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deeper is where you can find the first clue to your purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because what if you didn&#8217;t matter? Or what if you matter more than you ever thought possible?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Start to look at the reason why you&#8217;ve taken your most recent actions. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have they been from a place of purpose or fear, or even fear of purpose?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ha, I know this is getting deep fast, but you did ask.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So pause to quickly reflect on this and continue.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Muhahahahaha.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why You’ve Doubted Your Purpose</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the previous exercise, you realized some interesting things about yourself that you&#8217;ve never considered.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Good!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You are different, and that&#8217;s ok.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You are also the same, in that you&#8217;re pure potential that gets to realize itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A seed does not doubt whether it should become a tree.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It only struggles when it attempts to become something else entirely, like a turtle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reason why you have doubted your purpose is that you are focused outward more than you should be.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The introspective questions above, if actually asked and answered, show you the importance of focusing inwardly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What&#8217;s <em>out</em> is just a reflection of what&#8217;s <em>in</em>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Example time!</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Imagine looking in a mirror and noticing your face is frowning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It would be strange to wish that the face would smile so that you could be happy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet this is how many people approach purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They try to change what they see in the world without first changing what they believe about themselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You are looking at the outside world (the frowned reflection) and wanting to change it based on what you observe outwardly. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But change must be internal, or else it could never last. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you see others with thriving businesses, a great family life, a great single life, or whatever it is you place your attention on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And instead of deciding you would like that for yourself, you outwardly and physically follow how another would do it instead of accepting how your purpose will naturally lead you toward it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>But JClay, I don&#8217;t know my purpose.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You do, and you&#8217;ve moved toward it by accepting a version of reality you would like. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let me simplify this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You have doubted your purpose because you know you can&#8217;t be like the person who is living in a version of the reality you desire. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is true. You can&#8217;t be another. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What isn&#8217;t true is that you can&#8217;t have what you desire while being yourself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ah, double-negative, that&#8217;s hard to understand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>You can truly be who you are <em>and</em> who you are meant to be <em>and</em> have what you desire. </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now let&#8217;s jump into these purpose myths.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Common Myths About Purpose</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Myth 1: You Can Lose Your Purpose</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many people believe they have lost their purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They say things like:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.”</li>



<li>“I think I missed my calling.”</li>



<li>“I had a purpose once, but I lost it.”</li>



<li>“Maybe some people just don’t have one.”</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of these are true.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You may lose awareness of your purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You may doubt your purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You may ignore your purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But you cannot lose it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your true mother is Life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Life always wants you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In fact, Life always wants you to live.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Life begets more life. Life lives through you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A tree does not wake up wondering if it still has a purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A flower does not question whether it should bloom.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And Life is no less interested in expressing itself through you than it is through them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For that reason, <strong>you will always have a purpose</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not someday.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not when you become successful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not when you finally figure everything out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The question is not whether you have a purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The question is whether you are willing to notice it.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Myth 2: Your Purpose Is One Thing</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many people spend years trying to discover <em>the one thing</em> they were born to do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The perfect career.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The perfect calling.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The perfect mission.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The perfect path.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And because they haven’t found it, they assume they haven’t found their purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But purpose is not a job title.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s not a business.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s not a ministry.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s not a relationship.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s not even a talent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remember, your purpose lies in your <em>being</em> more than your <em>doing</em>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your <em>doing</em> changes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your <em>being</em> remains.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, a person whose purpose is to inspire may do so as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>a teacher</li>



<li>a parent</li>



<li>a musician</li>



<li>a coach</li>



<li>a writer</li>



<li>a friend</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The forms may change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The essence remains.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is why some people feel lost after changing careers, retiring, getting divorced, moving, or experiencing a major life transition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>They accidentally tied their purpose to a form.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the form changed, they assumed their purpose had disappeared.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It hasn&#8217;t.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The purpose simply found a new way to express itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A candle does not lose its purpose because it is moved to another room.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It still gives light.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Likewise, your purpose may take many forms throughout your life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what is expressing through those forms remains remarkably consistent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Life doesn&#8217;t limit you so you shouldn&#8217;t limit yourself.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Myth 3: Your Purpose Must Be Discovered</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some people treat purpose like a hidden treasure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They assume it is somewhere “out there” waiting to be found.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So they search.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And search.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And search.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Years go by.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Books are read.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Courses are taken.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Teachers are followed (&#8230; <a href="https://bio.site/jclay" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">make sure you&#8217;re following me on socials</a> <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f606.png" alt="😆" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet the answer seems just as far away as ever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You don&#8217;t discover purpose in the same way that Columbus &#8220;discovered&#8221; America.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Purpose is who you are.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have you ever noticed that certain interests, values, curiosities, and desires keep showing up throughout your life?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even when you ignore or dismiss them, they return.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even when you pursue something else entirely and try to be like someone else, they return.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The irony is that many people are searching for their purpose while simultaneously living it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The teacher is searching while teaching.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The healer is searching while helping.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The creator is searching while creating.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The encourager is searching while uplifting others.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You get where I&#8217;m going.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Purpose leaves clues everywhere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The question is still not: “What is my purpose?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s more akin to: “What has Life been trying to express through me all along?”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s Distracting You From Your Purpose?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just to make it plain and clear, what&#8217;s distracting you from your purpose is your insistence that you must understand it all in order to live out the rest of your life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You don&#8217;t.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You have everything you need <strong>right now</strong> to experience not only what you&#8217;re meant to experience, but what will lead you to your continued highest joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, you may not be meant to know some aspects of your purpose right now. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some purposes are revealed gradually.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After all, if you were shown the entirety of your path today, would you even believe it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Would you think you aren&#8217;t worthy? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You are, but you get my point.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Start to trust the unfolding moment more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In other words, focus on what your intention or purpose is now and not on what it is for years to come.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Signs You’re Already Living Your Purpose</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In saying all of this, you may already be living your purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s confirm.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sign 1: Certain Things Matter To You</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s a reason you see things the way you do. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s a reason why you&#8217;re passionate about what you are passionate about.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not a coincidence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s confirmation that your unique perspective is needed and requested by the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dive into that. Explore your patterns.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sign 2: You Keep Returning To The Same Things</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you explore your patterns, you realize that you keep returning to the same things.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For instance, I&#8217;ve actually quit music a couple of times.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first was when I <em>accepted</em> that I may not make it in music.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This led to deep introspection, which later led to a spiritual awakening.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second was after I completed my first album <a href="https://jclay.org/iamnobodyiamsomeone/" type="product" id="4940">IAMNOBODY, IAMSOMEONE</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I genuinely believed I had completed what I came here to do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet somehow, music kept calling me back.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s the point.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Purpose has a funny way of returning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The things that matter most to you tend to reappear throughout your life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not because you’re stuck.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because Life is still trying to express itself through them.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sign 3: Others Ask You Questions</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This may seem like a small thing, but it&#8217;s not. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Questions</strong> birth worlds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s even in the first part of the word &#8230; quest. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each question sets you on a quest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If someone is asking you a question, you now have the purpose of fulfilling their request (re &#8211; quest).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here&#8217;s a funny note.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m currently learning Spanish (I&#8217;m on Duolingo @jclay1st). </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The word for &#8220;question&#8221; is <em>preguntar</em>, which reminds me of the English word <em>pregnant</em>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That may be a stretch, but maybe not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A purpose is carried out through the body. A question ignites new purposes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Purpose allows Life to continue to expand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyway, whether you are asked questions or you question yourself, you are living your purpose.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Simple Truth About Purpose</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At this point, you may be disappointed by how simple purpose really is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Or perhaps relieved.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your purpose is not hidden and it&#8217;s not hidden in a cave.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is definitely not being withheld from you by God, the universe, or Life itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your purpose is simply that which you do on purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Read that again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Your purpose is simply that which you do on purpose.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The problem is that many people imagine purpose as a destination when it is actually an intention.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Purpose is not a place you arrive. It&#8217;s the spirit in which you arrive there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A person can build a business with the purpose of serving others.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another can build the same business with the purpose of gaining approval.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The action is the same.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The purpose is different.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Likewise, a person can become a parent, artist, teacher, coach, scientist, janitor, or president.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The form is not what makes it purposeful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The intention is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is why your purpose has been with you your entire life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It has been expressing itself through every chapter, every relationship, every success, every failure, every question, and every dream.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The way your purpose expresses itself may be different from everyone else’s.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if I had to simplify it as much as possible, it would be this:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your purpose is to be fully yourself and allow Life to express Itself through you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Everything else is merely the form that purpose takes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I know. I made a big promise to tell you your exact purpose in this incarnation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here it is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Your purpose is to love without conditions, forgive all no matter what, perform miracles, heal your own mind, and release the ego.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This purpose is universal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It applies to every person regardless of their profession, talents, circumstances, or life story.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Wait… if that’s everyone’s purpose, what about my individual one?</em> <em>Me, me, me!</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alright, if you insist.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Exact Wording Of Your Purpose In This Incarnation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To sound like an 80s cartoon &#8230;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In today&#8217;s article:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>You’ve learned that purpose cannot be lost.</li>



<li>You’ve learned that purpose is not one thing.</li>



<li>You’ve learned that purpose often reveals itself through patterns that have been present your entire life.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what about your specific purpose?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is where systems such as Gene Keys and Human Design can be incredibly useful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While I don’t believe a system can define you, I do believe certain systems can help reveal what has always been true about you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of my favorite examples comes from the Gene Keys.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to my Gene Keys profile, my purpose is:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>You are here to move the world along. If you dig deep into your heart, your mind will show in image form what you have always known you are here to do. You must trust what your heart feels and your mind sees above all else in life. If you do not compromise your vision, it will begin to manifest over the course of your life, but it may take time. Time is not a concern to the heart, even though it is to the mind. By dint of whom you are, you are ahead of your time, so there may be aspects of your vision that will have to be taken up by others after you are gone. You are here to implement long-term goals in life, which means they will yield rewards in the far future. In this respect your life is a sacrifice to a higher goal that transcends individual endeavour. You are part of a collective plan that is being put into form all across our planet and will eventually transform our species. Therefore, take heart in what you know to be true, and stand fast in your vision of the future. One day, many people will understand what it is you were doing.</p></blockquote></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whew, pretty powerful. I know.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When I first read this, something inside me immediately recognized it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not because it told me something new.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because it reminded me of something I had always known.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s the difference.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Purpose is often remembered rather than discovered.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re curious about your own purpose, I highly recommend exploring your <a href="https://genekeys.com/free-profile/" type="link" id="https://genekeys.com/free-profile/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gene Keys profile</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s free!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Trust me, if my purpose scared you, then yours will be nothing like it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, if you could see it as your own, chances are, it will reveal itself to be similar.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you’d like help understanding what your profile means, I’ve recently started offering <strong>Gene Keys Purpose Readings</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During this 45-minute session, we’ll explore your purpose, gifts, challenges, and the deeper themes that may be shaping your life.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Life has been telling you who you are your entire life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through your interests.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through your patterns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through your questions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through your joys.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through your struggles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through the things you keep returning to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps your purpose isn’t waiting to be discovered.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s waiting to be accepted.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Accept your purpose.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If this resonated with you, this song explores many of the same ideas.</p>

<p>What is true can never be false. What is false can sometimes seem true, but it can never be. Since falseness is inconsistent with itself, it has no foundation of truth to stand on. Yet what happens if what you regarded as truth does not pass this equation?</p>

<p>What if I told you that you have more control over your experience than you realize and that it&#8217;s all a simple math equation that you already have the answer to? Would you solve it? Let&#8217;s talk spiritual math.</p>
<p>I will attempt to keep this article as simple as possible so that a non-Math person can understand and apply these spiritual math concepts.</p>
<p>I will also cite sources where you can go deeper into math principles if you so choose.</p>
<h2>What is Spiritual Math as opposed to regular Math?</h2>
<p>Short for Mathematics, Math is a universal language and a fundamental tool for understanding the physical world around us. It is the study of numbers, quantities, and shapes, and their relationships to one another.</p>
<p>Math is used to describe and model the behavior of natural phenomena, from the smallest particles in the universe to the largest structures in the cosmos. It is the foundation of science, technology, engineering, and finance, and plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of our daily lives.</p>
<p>Similarly, Spiritual Math is a term that refers to the use of mathematical concepts and principles in exploring spiritual or metaphysical ideas. It recognizes that math is not just a tool for understanding the physical world, but also has the potential to illuminate deeper truths about the nature of reality and our place in it.</p>
<p>Spiritual Math can involve the use of geometry, <a href="https://jclay.org/uses/genekeys">numerology</a>, and other mathematical techniques to explore concepts such as the interconnectedness of all things, the nature of consciousness, and the relationship between the material and spiritual realms.</p>
<p>It can be seen as a way to bridge the gap between science and spirituality and to provide a language for exploring the mysteries of the universe beyond what can be perceived through our physical senses.</p>
<p>Are you ready to add more to your life or would you simply like to remain equal to the negativity that seems to exist?</p>
<h2>0 and 1</h2>
<p>0 and 1 are the basis of all computing systems and operations, including circuitry. Often referred to as the binary number system, 1 and 0 represent two choices, which can be displayed in a myriad of ways&#8230;yes &amp; no, true &amp; false, on &amp; off, ok &amp; cancel. You get the idea.</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t get into the details of binary, but if you want to learn more, check this article on <a href="https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-read-binary-4692830" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How To Read Binary</a>.</p>
<p>As I said earlier, 1 and 0 can be used to represent true and false, which means only one of these numbers is true, 1.</p>
<p>0 does not exist. It&#8217;s imaginary.</p>
<p>Mathematically speaking, since zero is both nonpositive and its own square root, then zero can be considered imaginary.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m speaking logically. If 1 represents true, then zero represents false.</p>
<p>They can never be equal. And if both existed equally, we would not.</p>
<p>What is true can never be false. What is false can sometimes seem true, but it can never be.</p>
<p>Since falseness is inconsistent with itself, it has no foundation of truth to stand on. It is imaginary.</p>
<p>Truth on the other hand, or 1, is always true no matter what.</p>
<p>This is the basis of spiritual math.</p>
<p>If something truly exists, it shares the same properties as 1 or as truth.</p>
<p>Now we can begin to understand the expressions, &#8220;All are 1&#8221; and &#8220;Everything is one.&#8221;</p>
<p>So what is 0 really?</p>
<p>0 is more like &#8220;not 1&#8221;.</p>
<p>For example, if 1 represents all that is right, good, true, holy, and magnificent, then what is its opposite?</p>
<p>It has no opposite, but more on that later.</p>
<p>For now, we&#8217;ll accept the usual representation of the opposition, which would be considered wrong, sinful, false, unholy, and weak.</p>
<p>So for example, if something is &#8220;not good&#8221;, many would say it&#8217;s bad or sinful.</p>
<p>In other words, &#8220;not good&#8221; is to sinful as &#8220;not 1&#8221; is to 0.</p>
<p>What should begin to be clear now is that what is &#8220;not&#8221; is not. “Not” is not real and you shouldn&#8217;t let the idea of what&#8217;s not real take up real space in your mind.</p>
<h2>The Introduction of 0</h2>
<p>Quick history lesson.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to say exactly when the concept of 0 was introduced into the world&#8217;s mathematics. Just know it wasn&#8217;t there from the beginning.</p>
<p>Some say it was first introduced in India around 500 AD. Others say zero dates back to the 7th century in a manuscript called the Bakhshali manuscript that was eventually transmitted to the Islamic world, where it was further developed and eventually introduced to Europe in the 12th century. And still, others say zero was first recorded in Mesopotamia around the year 3 B.C.</p>
<p>Regardless of when it was first brought into awareness, zero has had a profound impact on the development of mathematics, as it enabled the creation of the decimal system, which is still used today.</p>
<p>The introduction of zero also paved the way for the development of algebra and calculus, which would later revolutionize the fields of science and engineering.</p>
<p>And as such, the concept of zero is now considered to be one of the most important contributions to human civilization, as it has had a profound impact on the way we understand and interact with the world around us.</p>
<p>All of this from a false/imaginary number.</p>
<p>Is this to say that algebra and calculus are also false? That&#8217;s not for me to say.<br />
I will say, however, applying this technique to the words above, we get some interesting combinations.</p>
<h2>Understanding &#8220;Not 1&#8221;</h2>
<p>To put this in full perspective, not 1 can be represented as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Not complete</li>
<li>Not good</li>
<li>Not truth</li>
<li>Not real</li>
<li>Not rich</li>
<li>Not life</li>
</ul>
<p>Or:</p>
<ul>
<li>Incomplete</li>
<li>Sinful</li>
<li>False</li>
<li>Imaginary</li>
<li>Poor</li>
<li>Death</li>
</ul>
<p>By making &#8220;not 1&#8221; a thing, many are able to react to it as if it is real and engage with this non-realness on a regular basis.</p>
<p>By this same logic, people are able to react to &#8220;not good&#8221; as if it were a real thing claiming that &#8220;sin is real&#8221;.</p>
<p>In the same way that the concept of zero has spawned algebra, calculus, engineering, science, and more&#8230;.the concept of sin or evil deeds has spawned sickness, death, judgment, mental illness, etc.</p>
<p>This may be a stretch, but then again, it may &#8220;not&#8221;.</p>
<p>That is the power of &#8220;not 1&#8221;. It forces you to look at what is not there and experience it as if it was.</p>
<h2>Understanding 1</h2>
<p>We see what &#8220;not 1&#8221; is, but what exactly is 1?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the irony. 1 cannot be fully understood alone, which is also why it&#8217;s not good for man to be alone.</p>
<p>To really understand and know anything, you have to live it. And what better way than to live in oneness?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not possible to live in none-ness or zero-ness because then nothing would exist. But with oneness, all things are the same. I&#8217;ll explain.</p>
<p>Anything that means anything to you, you have given meaning to it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll repeat. Anything that means anything to you, YOU have given meaning to it.</p>
<p>Now, look around you. From your body to the room that you&#8217;re in, you&#8217;ve given some sort of meaning and even value to it.</p>
<p>Without you giving the world meaning, it would in a sense to you be formless and void. A human body would just be clay and a building would just be sticks and stones.</p>
<p>Yet even those comparisons have meaning that you have also given.</p>
<p>Because of your core rootedness in truth, you have the ability to imagine and even use this imagination to project meaning onto that which has none.</p>
<h3>Living In Oneness</h3>
<p>When oneness is truly lived, you recognize that what is on the inside is also reflected/seen on the outside.</p>
<p>However, when oneness is falsely lived, what you see seems imbalanced or unequal.</p>
<p>The reason is that the oneness law is inescapable. <strong>It is what you are.</strong></p>
<p>Even in an imagined conflicting world of 1s and 0s, you still live in oneness because the laws &amp; rules you apply to others, you are also subjected to.</p>
<p>1 = 1. Always.</p>
<p>1 represents All. And within All lies even the possibility/illusion of not, or 0.</p>
<p>This is why you could judge someone as naive or ignorant when they don&#8217;t believe what you believe, and yet in this misbelief, they don&#8217;t share the consequence that would befall you, had you lived their beliefs.</p>
<p>This is also why you may perceive certain friends as lucky or able to get away with what you could never. Your perceived oneness within does equal another&#8217;s perceived oneness within. Each are mixed with a combination of 1s and 0s.</p>
<p>Even though neither of you may be living 100% aligned with truth, both of you are still experiencing aspects of the law of oneness in your own way.</p>
<p>So what is within always appears without.</p>
<h2>Opposite vs Equal</h2>
<p>You may have heard that you live in a world of duality. Binary language is a representation of duality meaning there are two sides to all. But as I said earlier, 1 has no opposite. This is because it has no other sides. It&#8217;s all-encompassing. 1 = 1 = 1 = 1 = 1, forever and ever.</p>
<p>Modern math represents opposite numbers as their negative counterpart. So it would claim that the opposite of 1 is -1.</p>
<p>However, -1 is also an imaginary number. It can&#8217;t be represented physically.</p>
<p>If an imaginary number is not real then it is equal to every other imaginary number in its not-realness.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s imaginary is equal to what&#8217;s imaginary.</p>
<p>To claim that something is opposite another is another matter indeed.</p>
<p>An opposite must be as powerful as the other to be considered a true opposite.</p>
<p>One wouldn&#8217;t judge another as their enemy unless they believe this person is as capable or even more capable than them.</p>
<p>Mathematically speaking, stating that 1 = 1 or 0 = 0 is a true representation of equal and opposite.</p>
<p>Saying that 1 ≠ 0 is not representing opposition or equality, but just stating the obvious.</p>
<p>So while you&#8217;re continuing to give parts of your world a negative meaning, recognize that these parts or circumstances should have no power over you because firstly, you&#8217;ve given meaning to it thus making you its maker. And secondly, what has no power or what has imaginary power shies away when in the presence of true power, you.</p>
<h2>1 Division</h2>
<p>Sounds like a singing group, huh?</p>
<p>Now that we understand the all-encompassing nature of 1, what would happen if 1 could be split?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s divide.</p>
<p>Why divide? Because again, to truly understand something, you have to live it, being within it and it within you.</p>
<p>To keep it simple, we&#8217;ll divide 1 evenly.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll say 1 divided by 2.</p>
<p>Commonly in math, 1 divided by 2 is considered one half, but let&#8217;s use the symbol &#8230; ½.</p>
<p>But actually, it&#8217;s ½ + ½. The other half didn&#8217;t magically disappear. It&#8217;s just that for some reason, mathematicians were focused on the subset.</p>
<p>So now we have 2 equal parts of ½.</p>
<p>Since we know that 1 is considered good, let&#8217;s restate that. 1 is good.</p>
<p>Now we split 1 (or good) into 2.</p>
<p>You now have 2 parts good. Yet each one represents half of good.</p>
<p>If we took one of the halves and regarded it as whole, what is it made up as?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s still good because, from the perspective of all of good, it&#8217;s half of itself.</p>
<p>Some would even say it&#8217;s just half good. To which I would ask, then what&#8217;s the other half made up as?</p>
<p>This is where things get confusing to individual minds, similar to halved minds.</p>
<p>It believes that part of itself is missing or cut off simply because it chooses to be halved or not connected.</p>
<p>So instead of regarding itself as whole, it seeks another half.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s getting interesting.</p>
<p>But let&#8217;s say this ½ judges its other ½ as being bad.</p>
<p><strong>From the judgment of the first ½, this half now unknowingly sees itself as bad simply because, ½ = ½.</strong></p>
<p>And since what&#8217;s bad could never equal what&#8217;s good, the self-judged divides again to search for ½ good, but each half is halved making it a fourth, an eighth, a sixteenth, and so on.</p>
<p>Are you with me?</p>

<h3>Plugging In Real Values</h3>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at this another way.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Good = ½Good + ½Good</p>
<p>If we subtract ½Good from both sides, we get&#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Good &#8211; ½Good = ½Good</p>
<p>So:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">½Good = Good &#8211; ½Good</p>
<p>Since it&#8217;s getting confusing, let&#8217;s give these all names to simplify.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll name Good as Christ. The first ½Good would be Adam and the other ½Good would be Eve.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s list all the equations we can to represent this using basic math.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Christ = Adam + Eve<br />
Adam = Christ &#8211; Eve<br />
Eve = Christ &#8211; Adam<br />
Adam = Eve</p>
<p>Now Adam and Eve both feel incomplete. They&#8217;ve been cut off in a sense from each other. Yet from the perspective of Christ, nothing has been lost. Christ still has all parts of himself.</p>
<p>From the perspectives of Adam and Eve, something is not right.</p>
<p>So Adam attempts to join with Eve and the two feel good together.</p>
<p>Then Eve does something Adam does not agree with and he judges her as bad. But Adam equals Eve? So Adam has unknowingly or unconsciously judged himself as bad.</p>
<p>Since they are all that is, they still mix and mingle. They have two kids together.</p>
<p>From the perspective of Christ, nothing has been lost.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Christ = Adam + Eve + Child 1 + Child 2</p>
<p>It may seem like Christ has gained. This is true, but not in the way you think. The energy or value of Christ is still the same, however, the energy that makes up Christ has shifted and new possibilities are formed, but still all within the 1.</p>
<p>Now from the perspective of Adam, he may believe he&#8217;s greater than the others.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Adam &lt; Christ</p>
<p>Yet, Adam believes:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Adam &gt; Eve<br />
Adam &gt; Child 1<br />
Adam &gt; Child 2</p>
<p>But truly:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Adam = Eve</p>
<p>And now also:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Adam = Child 1<br />
Adam = Child 2</p>
<p>But because Adam believes he is greater, then he unknowingly or unconsciously made others greater than he in his mind. So to even the playing field or to even out the equation, he has thoughts of attempting to belittle the &#8220;others&#8221;, not realizing that they are also himself.</p>
<p>This cycle repeats and repeats for each.</p>
<p>Yet Christ is still a happy 1.</p>
<p>And within, the perceived individuals are not ready to accept that the sum of all its parts equals the whole.</p>
<p>In other words, you plus me plus everyone else in existence make up this oneness.</p>
<p>And since all the parts are equal, having a good life is as simple as recognizing the good in all. Because to judge one is to judge yourself.</p>
<p>To state that another way, since you&#8217;ve given meaning to all you see, you&#8217;re really only seeing yourself. And to then judge against what you see, would directly be judging against yourself.</p>
<h2>Bad Math or better yet &#8216;Not Math&#8217;</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to believe that you&#8217;re greater than another because of a misinterpretation of the following equation.</p>
<p>Remember how:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Christ = Adam + Eve</p>
<p>Then to solve for Adam would be:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Adam = Christ &#8211; Eve</p>
<p>The misinterpretation comes from the above. Adam may feel that if he gets rid of Eve, then he will be equal to Christ.</p>
<p>But again remember that since Adam is equal to Eve, we can substitute Adam for Eve. So to represent this perceived equation accurately would be:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Adam = Christ &#8211; Adam</p>
<p>From Adam&#8217;s perspective, he would lose himself in the process.</p>
<p>But since 1 is always 1, Adam would only imagine that he&#8217;s lost himself.</p>
<p>Again, from the viewpoint of Christ, the equation is still balanced, we see that:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Christ = Adam + Adam</p>
<p>Going back to this equation and looking at it differently, we have:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Adam = Christ &#8211; Eve</p>
<p>Now Adam attempts to remove Eve and&#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Adam &#8211; Eve = Christ &#8211; Eve &#8211; Eve</p>
<p>Since Adam equals Eve, we have:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">0 = Christ</p>
<p>Since Christ represents 1, we see how untrue this statement is:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">0 = 1</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t and it won&#8217;t. Yet that is what happens when you attempt to go against a fellow self.</p>
<h2><s>Takeaways</s> One</h2>
<p>What can be concluded from this?</p>
<ol>
<li>We truly are all connected.</li>
<li>If you judge me, you judge yourself.</li>
<li>If you praise me, you praise yourself.</li>
<li>Negativity has no power because it&#8217;s imaginary.</li>
<li>Division is impossible because all parts of the 1 still remain.</li>
<li>What I see has always just been me, so why don&#8217;t I start seeing through the eyes of the 1.</li>
</ol>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article was written by JClay, the spiritual rapper and healer. Visit <a href="https://jclay.org">JClay</a> for more wisdom, music, and insights.</p>
<p>One of the most asked questions people ask themselves is, &#8220;Why am I here?&#8221;</p>
<p>Even asking yourself this question gives a hint toward the answer. In fact, &#8220;why am I here&#8221; answers itself. </p>
<p>To get to the question&#8217;s simplicity, we must pull back some layers of complexity.</p>
<p>I can just give you the answer now (or you can scroll down), but it won&#8217;t be accepted without first pulling back these layers.</p>
<h2>Understanding your Why</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s important that you understand why you&#8217;re asking this. The reason is that you may not really want the answer to this question, but to many other questions. </p>
<p>For now, let&#8217;s explore the two main reasons you may ask, &#8220;Why am I here?&#8221;</p>
<p>The first is out of pure curiosity. In this way, the answer does not really matter. It&#8217;s a question asked at the moment and then let go of in the next.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, when you let go of questions, answers come much faster as opposed to always asking questions.</p>
<p>And since you&#8217;re reading this article, chances are you still have questions.</p>
<p>The second main reason you may ask why you are here comes from a not-so-loving place.</p>
<p>Chances are you are bored with life, find it unfulfilling, and/or completely overwhelmed by it.</p>
<p>You want out!</p>
<p>This is not to be confused with wanting to die, you just want out of your current way of living.</p>
<p>Who would blame you? Not loving life is not living.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s kind of like undying&#8230;you aren&#8217;t dying, yet you won&#8217;t live.</p>
<p>But the fact that you&#8217;re asking this question is HUGE.</p>
<p>Asking, &#8220;Why am I here&#8221; shows signs of life and that you&#8217;re ready for change. </p>
<p>Embrace it and ask yourself again why you are here. </p>
<p>Then let the question go completely knowing deep down you&#8217;ll find your answer (hint: it&#8217;s below). </p>
<h2>Where is &#8220;here&#8221;?</h2>
<p>The &#8220;here&#8221; in the question is one of the most misunderstood parts because even you as the asker don&#8217;t really know what you&#8217;re asking. </p>
<p>For example, &#8220;here&#8221; could mean on earth, in this town, in this relationship, at this job, in this conversation, on this website, in this body, in this skin, at this party, in this time, etc. </p>
<p>You could think you&#8217;re asking for one of the above mentioned, but you&#8217;re really asking for another one of the above mentioned.</p>
<p>I know&#8230;it makes us humans sound confused. This is also true, which is why you understand what I&#8217;m pointing out. </p>
<p><em>But JClay, doesn&#8217;t &#8220;confused&#8221; mean that you don&#8217;t understand?</em> Exactly. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Back to &#8220;here&#8221;.</p>
<p>The first step in understanding why you are here is to know the &#8220;here&#8221; that you&#8217;re asking about.</p>
<p>If you want some extra credit, you can play the &#8220;Where&#8217;s here?&#8221; game. It&#8217;s where you ask yourself, &#8220;Where am I?&#8221;</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll probably start with the room that you are in and eventually escalate to your planet. After that, it starts to get tricky, but it&#8217;s a good awareness exercise to realize that you aren&#8217;t where you think you are.</p>
<p>So if you do play the &#8220;Where&#8217;s here?&#8221; game, try to go as far as you can.</p>
<p>And then of course ask yourself again, &#8220;Why am I here?&#8221; with the new awareness of where you think here is.</p>
<h2>Who is &#8220;I&#8221; or who are you?</h2>
<p>If your brain isn&#8217;t tingling yet, it&#8217;s about to.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk the &#8220;I&#8221; aka your I-dentity aka your Individuality aka your I-dea of yourself.</p>
<p>Before I go too in-depth, ask yourself right now who you are. </p>
<p>Did answers come up like your name, profession, race, class, etc? </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you let go completely of your past, all of it. Who are you right now in this moment? </p>
<p>Your sex may have come into play. But are you just flesh? If so, you would&#8217;ve died with the millions of cells that died from your body today.</p>
<p>Go deeper. Who are you? And with the knowledge that <a href="https://jclay.org/no-death/">you&#8217;re not a body</a>, what are you?</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_4674" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4674" style="width: 559px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://jclay.org-content/uploads/2020/05/jclay-about-death-559x559.jpg" alt="inspirational quote by jclay over a black-and-white image of him in a cool jacket" width="559" height="559" class="size-medium wp-image-4674" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4674" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Alida Bonifaz</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>If you were anything like me, you may have thought that you were your thoughts and emotions? </p>
<p>The problem, however, is that thoughts and emotions come and go, and you always seem to remain even when they&#8217;re gone. </p>
<p>So you&#8217;re not a body, you&#8217;re not your thoughts, and you&#8217;re not your emotions. What the heck are you?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t say your past either. If you did, go listen to <a href="https://jclay.org/videos/let-go-lyric/">this song</a> right now.</p>
<p>Since your past is gone while you are here, then we can conclude that you&#8217;re not your past either.</p>
<h2>What you truly are</h2>
<p>Let us now answer the questions, &#8220;Who am I?&#8221; and &#8220;What am I?&#8221;</p>
<p>Everything you perceive outside of yourself seems to have meaning.</p>
<p>What may not yet be realized is that you gave it all the meaning that it has.</p>
<p>This explains why some of your friends may like partying while you do not (or vice versa).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s because it has no meaning to you, or you place no value in it.</p>
<p>You are what gives value to the valueless. </p>
<p>In order to give value, you must be valuable. </p>
<p>In this, your identity is shared with all. You&#8217;ve given value to that you want to value and thus your own perceived value is reflected back to you.</p>
<p>You are not apart from anything. In other words, you are one with everything.</p>
<p>This is why <a href="https://jclay.org/tag/mindset/">mindset</a> is everything.</p>
<p>That which you believe about a person or thing will be made real to you because you gave realness to it through your thoughts. You &#8220;realized&#8221; it. </p>
<p>Everyone is not ready to accept responsibility for their own thoughts. But once you do, you&#8217;ll see that life was always everything you thought it would be.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s your purpose? Whatever you&#8217;ve done on purpose. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h2>The answer to, &#8220;Why am I here?&#8221;</h2>
<p>To answer once and for all, &#8220;Why am I here&#8221;, let&#8217;s restate the big reveal from above.</p>
<p><strong>You are not apart from anything&#8230;you are one with everything.</strong></p>
<p>You believe that you are a separate being, but the truth is that you are one with all existence.</p>
<p>By asking yourself why you are here, you are siding with the false notion that you could be separate. And so in this asking, you are denying yourself yourself. </p>
<p>To ask, &#8220;Why am I here?&#8221; is to already have the answer.</p>
<p>The &#8220;I&#8221; is &#8220;here&#8221; because you&#8217;ve attempted to separate yourself from reality by asking a question that is not possible.</p>
<p>The idea of separateness is the cause of all despair and fear. </p>
<p>&#8220;Why am I here?&#8221; You are not, well at least not how you believe yourself to be.</p>
<p>You are.</p>
<p>You are not a body or thing.</p>
<p>You are.</p>
<p>You are not a thought or emotion.</p>
<p>You are.</p>
<p>To say that you are anything is to place a limit on yourself and what you are can only be described as limitless. Yet the word &#8220;limitless&#8221; is just a symbol and cannot represent the totality of what you are.</p>
<p>You exist beyond all existence. You cannot be separate from your Creator just as your creations cannot be separate from you.</p>
<h2>Author&#8217;s Notes</h2>
<p>I know. It got a little deep. Some may not even understand it right now.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s ok. </p>
<p>You will eventually. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve even made <a href="https://jclay.org/album/">this album</a> to help you along. </p>
<p>It takes you step-by-step through the undoing of false ideas you have of yourself so that you may tap into your limitless potential.</p>
<p>And best of all, you can chill out and vibe to it from start to finish.</p>

<p>No matter what you ask, you will always receive an answer. You may not like the answer, but that's only because you've asked a question that you don't like. Better questions lead to better answers. This will help you ask the questions that will give you the answers that you really want.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Questions are just thoughts and thoughts have the power to create or destroy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That which you think about the most, you experience. Correspondingly, that which you question the most, you also experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A simple example would be the question, how can I make $100/day consistently?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This takes just as much effort to question, how can I make $100/day consistently with little effort?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although the effort is the same in asking either, the answers that the questions yield can seem quite different.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet, the answer always lies in the question because the question sets the blueprint for the type of answer you want to receive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is why it&#8217;s so important to ask yourself the questions that you really want answers to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ve included some questions below that I know will help you achieve and maintain peace and happiness no matter the perceived outside circumstance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But don&#8217;t limit yourself to just these questions. Make your own and share them below in the comments so that we all may benefit.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Most Enlightened Questions You Can Ask Yourself</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Depending on your situation, some questions may resonate more than others.</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Am I choosing happiness right now?</li>



<li>What&#8217;s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? (from the book <a href="https://amzn.to/374Sbm2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The ONE Thing</a>)</li>



<li>What am I grateful for?</li>



<li><a href="https://jclay.org/pre-order">Am I my body, my mind, or something else</a>?</li>



<li>What am I holding onto that is more trouble than it&#8217;s worth?</li>



<li>Is there another way to look at this seemingly troubling situation?</li>



<li>Why does feeling happy feel so good?</li>



<li>What do I hope to gain by staying mad at a person?</li>



<li>Does the answer I&#8217;m seeking matter?</li>



<li>What is my next question going to be? (I was reminded of this question by Reiki Master<br><a href="https://www.charlottejackson.me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlotte Jackson</a>. Asking yourself this question and searching for the answer is <a href="https://jclay.org/ways-to-meditate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meditating</a>.)</li>

<p>There are a lot of lies being told to us and even by us. But does lying really help? Who really benefits from a lie? If you knew that being truthful could heal you, would you continue to lie? Let's find out. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article was written by JClay, the spiritual rapper and healer. Visit <a href="https://jclay.org">JClay</a> for more wisdom, music, and insights.</p>
<p><em>Lie &#8211; an intentionally false statement.</em></p>
<p>No lie, you are being lied to as many as 200 times a day.<sup>[<a href="https://amzn.to/3oMKM0N" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1</a>]</sup> You will also contribute an average of 2 lies per day to the world, assuming you are truthful about it.<sup>[<a href="https://www.umass.edu/newsoffice/article/umass-amherst-researcher-finds-most-people-lie-everyday-conversation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2</a>]</sup></p>
<p>Whether you tell a lie to protect another or to be more agreeable, each lie told will uniquely affect your mind. It will create conflict between the lie and the truth you hold to keep the lie in place. And since the mind controls the body, conflict within the mind will eventually manifest as conflict within the body.</p>
<p>Whew, this got deep really fast.</p>
<p>What if &#8220;<strong>the truth will set you free</strong>&#8221; is not just one of those catchy sayings to get a liar to suddenly become truthful? What if this phrase is a blueprint to healing your body?</p>
<p>This <em>truth</em> is what we will uncover in this article. By the end, you will know if you have been sabotaging yourself with lies, incorporating wishful thinking, or trapped so deep in a world where the truth and the lies are indistinguishable.</p>
<h2>How The Brain Processes Lies</h2>
<p>In 2016, Nature Neuroscience <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27775721/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published a study</a> showing that whenever people utter words of dishonesty, there is a burst of activity in their amygdala. The amygdala is responsible for producing anxiety, fear, and feelings of guilt within the body. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f914.png" alt="🤔" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Very interesting.</p>
<p>So if lies do this much damage, then why do people keep telling them?</p>
<p>The answer <em>lies</em> within the same study.</p>
<p>The scientists had the participants play a game where they would win money by being deceptive. What was fascinating is that in this scenario, the emotional responses in the amygdala decreased.</p>
<p>However, the effects remained present in the body.</p>
<p>So why lie?</p>
<h2>Why People Lie</h2>
<p>To understand if lying has any benefits, you first need to recognize why you lie at all.</p>
<p>All the lies ever told can be fit into four categories as outlined by <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2017/06/lying-hoax-false-fibs-science/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this article by National Geographic</a>.</p>

<h2>What does this all mean?</h2>
<p>Looking at the first two on the list, 80% of the lies you tell come from believing one of two things. Either that you are not enough as you are or what you are can be lost.</p>
<p>There would be no purpose in promoting yourself or protecting yourself otherwise.</p>
<p>As one who is promoting himself, even within this article, this is a helpful reminder.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">See also <a href="https://jclay.org/mind-control/">The 5 Ways Your Mind Betrays You</a>.</p>
<p>Telling lies for any of these reasons reinforces your belief in your inadequacy, creating the circumstances for you to continue to lie.</p>
<p>Each one feeds itself in a perfect loop. You feel inadequate because you lie, yet you lie because you feel inadequate.</p>
<p>Another 11% of lies comes from wanting to impact others.</p>
<p>If you can impact others, then others can impact you. So the truths or lies you tell may not be of your own doing. They may have been pressed upon you by others.</p>
<p>The last 9% states that the reasons are unclear.</p>
<p>Since repeated actions become automatic over time, perhaps these lies are told out of habit.</p>
<h2>What exactly is the truth and what is a lie?</h2>
<p>Here is where it gets a little complicated. Your mind does not always know the difference between the truth and a lie.</p>
<p>Two opposing thoughts or statements can have the same effect on you. For example, look at the following phrases:</p>
<ul>
<li>People are awesome.</li>
<li>People suck.</li>
</ul>
<p>You have probably said both of these at one point. And both times, you meant it.</p>
<p>Yet neither declaration can be classified as the truth or a lie.</p>
<p>One causes you to be comfortable around people, and the other leads to you keeping your distance.</p>
<p>You were affected by both as if both were true.</p>
<p>No longer does validity matter. What matters is if the statement aligns with what you are and who you want to be.</p>
<p>By knowingly telling a lie, you are inviting conflict into your body.</p>
<p>Will unknowingly telling a lie do the same?</p>
<h2>Healing the body with words</h2>
<p>For hundreds of years, maybe more, patients have healed as a result of the placebo effect. The placebo effect is when a fake treatment is given to a patient, and this treatment leads to the patient&#8217;s healing.</p>
<p>One could argue that lies heal patients.</p>
<p>French psychologist Émile Coué introduced popular psychotherapy now called autosuggestion.</p>
<p>Autosuggestion is a self-induced suggestion (affirmation) in which you guide your own thoughts, feelings, or behavior. Instead of being affected by the words of others, you consciously pre-determine what to think.</p>
<p>For example, Émile Coué had his patients repeat many times a day, &#8220;<em>Every day in every way I am getting better and better.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Notice the careful wording of the above phrase. It prompts your mind to search for and find ways that you are getting better and better.</p>
<p>Naturally, the body follows what the mind tells it.</p>
<p>Since this is not a lie, there is no conflict. Or so it would seem.</p>
<p>If your previous thoughts were aligned with getting worse and worse each day, this new belief would oppose it.</p>
<p>There would be conflict, but only for a short time until your thoughts are singular in purpose.</p>
<p>Once the idea of health is fully accepted for yourself, you will be healthy.</p>
<p>So now truthfulness becomes an entirely different thing. No longer does it look upon a statement&#8217;s validity, truthfulness becomes how true you are to what you want in life.</p>
<p>Some examples would be:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you want health, but you are worried about and focused on ill-health, germs, diseases, etc.</li>
<li>If you want to be pain-free, yet you disagree openly with others and verbally attack those with opposing views.</li>
</ul>
<p>Any opposing thought will attempt to undo what the same mind created.</p>
<h2>How To Accept Truthfulness For Yourself</h2>
<p>I will point out 3 ways to go about this.</p>
<p>The first and easiest is using autosuggestion.</p>
<p>Set up your environment so that:</p>
<ol>
<li>Nothing reflects the life you don&#8217;t want</li>
<li>Everything reflects the life you do want</li>
</ol>
<p>This includes the websites you visit and the music you listen to.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry about removing people from your life right now. That would just create more conflict.</p>
<p>Another way is to quiet your thoughts so that you don&#8217;t think them as much.</p>
<p>This is contrary to popular belief. Many believe that thinking is both healthy and needed.</p>
<p>It is not. When your thoughts aren&#8217;t present to distort reality, you will see things as they truly are, instead of how you&#8217;ve imagined them.</p>
<p>What is special about my album <a href="https://jclay.org/album/">IAMNOBODY, IAMSOMEONE</a> is that it does both for you.</p>
<p>It helps you to undo the illusionary thoughts that are present in your mind and it fills your mind with true, conflict-free ones. You could go from depressed to overjoyed in a matter of minutes with little effort on your part.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jclay.org/album/">Order IAMNOBODY, IAMSOMEONE now!</a></p>
<p>The third way to accept truthfulness for yourself is to share the thoughts you want with everyone you come in contact with. The more people that share your thoughts with, the more these thoughts will be reflected everywhere you look.</p>
<p>When your thoughts and vision are not in competition with one another, you will know a peace so deep that it could heal the world.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article was written by JClay, the spiritual rapper and healer. Visit <a href="https://jclay.org">JClay</a> for more wisdom, music, and insights.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t you wish you knew your life&#8217;s purpose or at least had confirmation? Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to know definitively what you were brought here to do? Fortunately, the key is embedded in your genes&#8230;Gene Keys.</p>
<p>If I had to summarize Gene Keys, I would say it&#8217;s the answer to all of your questions about why you are the way you are. Gene Keys is the greatest resource I have ever seen for actually finding your purpose.</p>
<p>Know that I don&#8217;t use the term <em>resource</em> lightly. It&#8217;s from source, again (re-source).</p>
<p>What makes Gene Keys so special is its ease. You don&#8217;t have to search and engage in deep reflection. There are no retreats you need to take. You can just plugin some key info and see your truth.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard some of the following terms and may have even engaged in them from time to time:</p>
<ul>
<li>life path number</li>
<li>sun moon rising</li>
<li>human design</li>
<li>numerology</li>
<li>archetypes</li>
<li>birth chart</li>
<li>divination</li>
<li>zodiac</li>
<li>etc</li>
</ul>
<p>Gene Keys is all of the above rolled into one. Its accuracy serves as further proof that <strong>you are not an accident. You are a perfect creation created by a Perfect Creator.</strong></p>
<p>Are you ready to rediscover your life&#8217;s purpose?</p>
<p>FYI, I&#8217;m smiling right now because I know how impactful reading your Gene Keys profile will be.</p>
<h2>What You Need To Know</h2>
<p>There is so much detail that went into you being you. It&#8217;s no coincidence that certain concepts and ideas excite you more than they excite others.</p>
<p>Within you is a hidden genius ready to be unlocked. The circumstances for this unlocking are right here and right now. Afterward, you will have insight on:</p>
<ol>
<li>What you&#8217;re here to learn</li>
<li>What keeps you healthy</li>
<li>What deeply fulfills you</li>
<li>What you&#8217;re here to do</li>
</ol>
<p>To find this out, you&#8217;ll need to know some basic information about your birth.</p>
<p>The information includes your birth city, birth date, and birth time.</p>
<p><a href="https://jclay.org/uses/genekeys" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5919" src="https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/gene-keys-profile-559x354.png?x77171" alt="your Gene Keys profile" width="559" height="354" srcset="https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/gene-keys-profile-559x354.png 559w, https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/gene-keys-profile-600x380.png 600w, https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/gene-keys-profile.png 695w" sizes="(max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px" /></a></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know your birth time, don&#8217;t worry. Fill out the profile twice, once with a time toward the beginning of the day and another towards the end.</p>
<p>Next, compare the two to get a better overview of you.</p>
<p>But if finding your birth times means making a few phone calls, I highly advise you to make them.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready to proceed, click the following link to get your <a href="https://jclay.org/uses/genekeys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gene Keys profile</a>.</p>
<p>Make sure you allow email updates so that you&#8217;ll always have access to this information.</p>
<h2>How Accurate is Your Gene Keys Profile?</h2>
<p>The creator, or should I say diviner, of Gene Keys is Richard Rudd.</p>
<p>Richard Rudd is an international spiritual teacher, writer, and award-winning poet. Poet&#8230;maybe I can get him on a <a href="https://jclay.org/music/">song</a> one day. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f914.png" alt="🤔" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Gene Keys emerged from what Richard calls <em>a field of limitless light</em> that lasted 3 days and 3 nights.</p>
<p>Pretty cool.</p>
<p>When I first read my profile, I couldn&#8217;t believe it. The section <strong>What I&#8217;m here to learn</strong> spoke directly to what I just overcame at the time. This was something I struggled with for a while.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t even aware of this struggle until a few years ago. For a profile to capture this perfectly definitely had my attention.</p>
<p>Just to make sure that I wasn&#8217;t trippin&#8217;, I sent the <a href="https://jclay.org/uses/genekeys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gene Keys profile link</a> to a few friends to check out.</p>
<p>Their reaction was the same as mine. Some even shared it with their spouses and with similar effects. When their spouses also read each other&#8217;s profile, they both were in amazement saying, &#8220;This is you! Yes, this is you!&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s clear that this isn&#8217;t a one-size-fits-all type of profile. Your profile is tailored specifically to you, your potential struggles, and your triumphs.</p>
<h2>Will This Work For You?</h2>
<p>Whether reading your Gene Keys profile will help you depends on where you are in life.</p>
<p>Of the many people I&#8217;ve sent this to, only a few didn&#8217;t think it was accurate. Me knowing them knew that the profile was accurate, but I didn&#8217;t push the issue.</p>
<p>The reason they did not realize it is because they had not reached the point of even recognizing their own love. Not to say that they are consumed by hate, but their vision is fixated on shadows, which are just illusions of the figures the shadows mimic.</p>
<p>I have a feeling that if I had them revisit their profile today, they would understand and agree with it. This is because I&#8217;ve been getting them to do simple <a href="https://jclay.org/help-someone-depressed/">techniques that have helped them overcome depressive behavior</a>.</p>
<p>But the only way to know for sure if this works for you is to just do it. So do it!</p>
<h2>Next Steps</h2>
<ol>
<li>Fill out your <a href="https://jclay.org/uses/genekeys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gene Keys profile</a> right now.</li>
<li>Post a comment below or send me a <a href="https://jclay.org/contact/">message</a> about if and how much you resonate with your profile.</li>
<li>Share this with those that you know would love this.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article was written by JClay, the spiritual rapper and healer. Visit <a href="https://jclay.org">JClay</a> for more wisdom, music, and insights.</p>
<p>Parables are stories that are used to illustrate spiritual lessons and truth.</p>
<p>Jesus was reported as using parables when he taught of God.</p>
<p>This particular parable that I will be presenting to you is my second one ever. The first is on the song &#8220;I Can&#8217;t Do This Without You&#8221; featured on my album <a href="https://jclay.link/album" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IAMNOBODY, IAMSOMEONE</a>.</p>
<p>The painting in the cover photo is courtesy of Kris D. of <a href="https://www.krisd-photography.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kris D. Photography</a>.</p>
<p>Without further ado, the parable of the painting.</p>
<h2>The Painting</h2>
<p>A <strong>painter</strong> paints a <em>painting</em> for a purpose.</p>
<p>The <em>painting</em> becomes conscious and starts to judge the world and thus <em>itself</em>.</p>
<p>The <em>painting</em> perceives negativity, wrongness, and hate.</p>
<p>But how could the <em>painting</em> know all of this? It is not the <em>painting&#8217;s</em> purpose to judge.</p>
<p>So the <em>painting</em> becomes miserable &amp; unhappy. Everywhere the <em>painting</em> seems to look, <em>it</em> perceives more danger.</p>
<p>Yet the entire time, the <strong>painter</strong> is marveling at the <em>painting&#8217;s</em> beauty. The <strong>painter</strong> hangs <em>the painting</em> high for the world to see. <strong>The painter</strong> makes sure the <em>painting</em> is protected and always clean.</p>
<p>The <em>painting</em> feels guilty because it thinks it is unworthy of the <strong>painter&#8217;s</strong> praise. <em>It</em> tries to hide <em>itself</em>. <em>It</em> creates a world that only <em>it</em> sees filled with negative <em>paintings</em> and colors.</p>
<p>The <em>painting</em> no longer hears or sees the <strong>painter</strong>, but knows deep down that <strong>the painter</strong> is there.</p>
<p>Finally, the <em>painting</em> has enough and commits suicide. But how? The <em>painting</em> cannot die as that is not the <em>painting&#8217;s</em> purpose.</p>
<p>With wiped memories, the <em>painting</em> repeats the cycle of judgment and death over and over again until finally, it has a revelation.</p>
<p>The <em>painting</em> realizes <em>it</em> can only be beautiful because that is what <em>it</em> is made for.</p>
<p>The <em>painting</em> forgives the judgments <em>it</em> made about the world and realizes that the <em>painting itself</em> is the world. <em>The painting</em> began to extend its <strong>painter&#8217;s love</strong> to all and saw the world of a new color.</p>
<p>The <em>painting</em> began teaching this to other <em>paintings</em> and pretty soon <em>they all</em> noticed how masterful <em>their</em> gallery was. <em>They</em> even could interact with the <strong>painter</strong> again to influence the <strong>painter</strong> to make more.</p>
<p>The end.</p>
<h2>Explanation of the parable</h2>
<p>In The Painting parable, the <strong>painter</strong> is <strong>God</strong>. <em>You</em> are the <em>painting</em>.</p>
<p>In reality, you cannot do anything outside of your purpose, but in your own mind, you try.</p>
<p>You also cannot be harmed, but again in your own mind, you try.</p>
<p>In this trying, you manifest your own world in which you act out these things. You make characters to play your <a href="https://jclay.org/enemy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">enemies</a>, even among those you love.</p>
<p>You continue this cycle because you love what you have made just as God loves what He created, you.</p>
<p>Although what you have made seems to always be a slave to time, you continue to try to make what is temporary permanent.</p>
<p>This is a fool&#8217;s errand because what is temporary can never be permanent and what is permanent can never be temporary.</p>
<p>Until you realize what you have made can never last, you will be consumed by it.</p>
<p>By practicing forgiveness and forgetfulness of what you have made, you can be in full remembrance of both God and Yourself.</p>
<p>And with the knowledge of God, what is there that you could ever be without?</p>
<p>Nothing.</p>
<p>What is nothing is not real.</p>
<p>You are something. You are real. You are a perfect creation made by a Perfect Creator.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article was written by JClay, the spiritual rapper and healer. Visit <a href="https://jclay.org">JClay</a> for more wisdom, music, and insights.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fight fight fight are words that commonly command the attention of the masses. Yet no fight is ever winnable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I can tell just how you&#8217;re looking at this article that this is a touchy subject. As a result, you&#8217;re probably ready to verbally fight me because you believe I&#8217;m threatening your right to fight. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fear not, this is one encounter that we&#8217;ll both end up winning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All throughout our history books, our television shows, and within our family, there are long records of fighting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite this, what do you actually win after a fight? How do you feel moving forward and encountering the one(s) you&#8217;ve fought with? What&#8217;s actually changed?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this article, all of these questions and more will be answered. You will learn more about yourself and your motives for fighting than you have from engaging in any fight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you ready to let go of the idea of fighting?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="819" height="1024" src="https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/all-this-fighting-819x1024.jpg?x77171" alt="inspirational quote by jclay about fighting on black background" class="wp-image-8078" srcset="https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/all-this-fighting-819x1024.jpg 819w, https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/all-this-fighting-447x559.jpg 447w, https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/all-this-fighting-768x960.jpg 768w, https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/all-this-fighting-600x750.jpg 600w, https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/all-this-fighting.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What You&#8217;re Really Fighting For (It&#8217;s Purpose)</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s a belief that you must fight for what is right.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This leads to important questions like what exactly is <em>right</em> and why does it need you to fight for it? Wouldn&#8217;t it&#8217;s rightness be enough to stand on?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For instance, the truth doesn&#8217;t need anyone to validate it for it to remain true. What is true will always be true. On the other hand, a lie, it&#8217;s constantly looking for witnesses to uphold its claims. A lie will fight to stay alive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At its core, fighting is an effect of fear. Fear is an illusion. It&#8217;s caused by trying to give away what you do not want. You&#8217;ve judged against a part of yourself, which can show up as guilt, shame, or feelings of inadequacy. As a result of only being able to give what you have, you give these feelings to others thinking that you can gain freedom from such feelings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you continue to give away these feelings, you strengthen your belief in them. Your ability to share is what gives power to what you experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For instance, you share:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>what you want to keep alive</li>



<li>what has your attention</li>



<li>your inner being</li>



<li>what excites you</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want to know what you cherish most in life, pay attention to what you&#8217;re sharing with others.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since illusions cannot birth reality, you fight to maintain these illusions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Truth/reality is the only thing that seems to contradict illusion. But since the truth has no fear of itself and is peaceful, you are fighting against peace itself. More specifically, you are fighting against your own peace.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Deeply Held Beliefs That Leads To Any Fight</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I said above, fighting stems from fear. This fear is based on the belief that you can be threatened in some way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3JFdW_6JIU&amp;list=UUuoIaRHVCgNok48gBEKiWXg">You share this vulnerability with others and it&#8217;s made stronger within yourself.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The irony is that you believe in your weakness, but you seek to prove to yourself that you are not weak.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This belief is but a manifestation of a deeper one. You believe that God or even the universe is a cruel, unfair Creator to create what can be so easily destroyed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a result, you believe yourself to be better than God because why else would you find fault with His creations. You seek to force your will upon others because you believe so strongly in your ability to be right while also knowing that you don&#8217;t know everything. This is contradictory and can be seen as narcissistic. Yet you see others as narcissistic, ignorant, threats to your ideas of &#8220;rightness&#8221;, evil monsters, etc.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So more than anything you are fighting against yourself because those you choose to fight embody the same beliefs you do, which are inconsistent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Be sure to read: <a href="https://jclay.org/enemy/">Why You Keep Losing To The Enemy</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After every fight, there&#8217;s always some sense of guilt. Why wouldn&#8217;t there be, you&#8217;ve just attacked yourself.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What About When Being Attacked?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These same inconsistencies that apply when fighting others are the same ones that attract situations where you feel you are being attacked.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To believe that you can attack is to believe that you can be attacked. And since you&#8217;ve proven this by attacking yourself for any number of fears, you confuse it and believe others are attacking you as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even though <a href="https://jclay.org/videos/pain-is-an-illusion-how-to-heal/">pain is also an illusion</a>, you use it as a witness to your being attack and so you feel more pain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s restate the previous sentence in its simple truth form.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even though non-reality is also non-reality, you use non-reality as a witness to your non-reality and so you feel more non-reality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Non-reality is synonymous with fantasy. How often have you fantasized about a situation where you were wronged by another, you then got &#8220;revenge&#8221; on that other, and you came out as the hero?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Better yet, how often have you fantasized about a situation where you were wronged by another and you wanted people to feel sorry for you because of it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And what do you get for this? A combination of any of these illusions:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>a strengthened belief in death instead of what you are</li>



<li>feeling sorry for yourself</li>



<li>seeing others as threats</li>



<li>feeling fearful</li>



<li>depression</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the saying goes &#8230; play stupid games, when stupid prizes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fighting For Sport</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;ll fight for anything, you&#8217;ll fight for everything.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The goal of fighting is the same no matter the situation. That goal is to put yourself above another in some form.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Reality of It All</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you fight, you are denying the reality of your oneness with all. You are accepting a reality where you are separate from everyone and so you fight to maintain this separateness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Feeling small, you seek to expand your being by taking people and objects as possessions. Claim is laid upon them by using the term &#8220;my&#8221;. <em>&#8220;This is my house, my car, my favorite chair, etc.&#8221;</em> The consequence of taking on so many possessions is a feeling of fatigue or overextension.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When people are used as possessions, these are known as special relationships. <em>&#8220;My wife, my boyfriend, my kid, my best friend, etc.&#8221;</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You confuse yourself with this illusionary reality and as a result, your being is limited only to those special relationships and possessions. So you fear losing them because you fear losing yourself. You fight more, lay claim to more possessions, and deepen the burden these possessions places on you to maintain them. You are now prisoner to your own &#8220;possessions&#8221;.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of living, you start dying a little more each day. Well, the self you created starts to die a little more each day because it is robbed of the essence of life. It is stuck in a world that could never be while trying to keep it real.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now you know what is truly meant when another says, &#8220;I&#8217;m just keeping it real.&#8221; <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cycle repeats and repeats.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So What Do You Do?</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Stop fighting.</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recognize what fighting really is. It&#8217;s a call for love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If someone is calling for love towards you, show them that love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ever tried to fight someone looking at you with pure love? It can&#8217;t happen. It&#8217;s like trying to fight the happiest baby ever. Whatever darkness that person harbored <a href="https://jclay.org/videos/how-to-handle-toxic-people-cast-out-demons/">will instantly flee out of that person</a> in the presence of love.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Let go of favoritism.</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Treat everyone as the Godly creation that they are. Love all of them with all of your heart.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Treat others how you want to be treated.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Love yourself.</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you truly love yourself, you want the best for yourself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best for yourself is to be surrounded by the best because what&#8217;s best becomes the new norm.<br><a href="https://jclay.org/appreciation/">Pour love into your surroundings</a> the same way you would want love poured into you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, let&#8217;s say that your best friend is a millionaire. You will get all the benefits of being a millionaire without having to be a millionaire because your friend will want to share his or her experiences with you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now imagine if everyone is your best friend. You get the benefits of everyone.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Stay reminded.</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your intentions may be good right now, but you may be habitually used to fighting. When things seem to go wrong, your habits will most likely take over.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Until you&#8217;ve replaced that habit with a new one, you will need to stay focused on what it is you want.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m titling this in the never-ending because that&#8217;s what life is, neverending. It has no beginning or ending, it simply is.</p>
<p>That is what you are. Life!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny that I&#8217;m writing this first blog post months before anyone will see it. It&#8217;s mainly because I need sample content to make sure everything looks good on this site.</p>
<p>At this moment, I am super-duper excited! Yes, super-duper.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been testing out some of my music with different types of crowds in various head-spaces ranging from full-on depression to all-out pure joy and each has responded with overwhelmingly awesome feedback like that in the screenshotted text message below. Also, I don&#8217;t care what this squiggly red line is talking about, screenshotted is a word.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3834" src="https://jclay.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/text-testimonial.jpg?x77171" alt="Best Song Ever" width="316" height="210" /></p>
<p>This message was in response to my single <a href="/letgo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Let Go</a>. It&#8217;s amazing how different the support is between making music that simply sounds good versus making good music that helps people. I got a taste of that with the launch of my company <a href="https://everychildwins.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Every Child Wins</a>, which can be best explained as Kidz Bop but educational. This is also what was referenced at the end of that text message.</p>
<p>But back to this.</p>
<p>My purpose and path have never been so clear. As I continue to learn, teach, and live by the information I&#8217;m sharing through the songs, I realize that no one has to suffer and in a way no one ever does. This, right here and right now, is a special moment in an array of never-ending special moments. Much will be re-revealed after your first listen.</p>
<p>Ooohhh, I can&#8217;t wait!</p>
<p>So how do I end my first blog post? I don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Y&#8217;ALL READY FOR SOME <a href="/product-category/music/">MUSIC</a>?!?!?!</p>
