Escaping the Quicksand

A man stumbles and falls into a deep hole. He asks a passing priest to help him out. The priest blesses him and walks on. Hours later, a doctor comes by. The man asks for help, but the doctor merely studies his injuries from afar, writes him a prescription, and tells him to buy the medicine from the nearest pharmacy. Finally, a complete stranger appears. Again, he asks for help, and the stranger jumps in the hole. ‘Now what are we going to do?’ says the man. ‘Now both of us are trapped down here.’ To which the stranger replies, ‘No, we’re not. I’m from around here, and I know how to get out.’

-Aleph, Paulo Coelho

I know the way out.

Transformation means: Allowing something to die in order to make room for the new.

This is how you begin. Rebirth.

Says the opening paragraph to Richard Dawkins book –Unweaving the Rainbow:

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

Although it is probably semantics, I don’t agree entirely with Dr. Dawkins. I will show you that no one and nothing ever dies. Death is a complete illusion, as is life for that matter. You’ll understand that statement very soon.

This paragraph reminds me that we are incredibly lucky to have this earth-trip and because of the stupefying odds that you and I are here right now, we have an obligation to make the most of it. That is why I put together this Transformation Experience.

I consider your very life is at stake and the Transformation Experience is here to not just save it, but to make it the greatest and most fun ride you ever had on earth.

Disclaimers

Although as a hyperdimensional human I like to walk all the worlds, my home-base is America. It is said that America has 4% of the world’s population of humans and 25% of the world’s lawyers. I don’t know if that is true, but here in California it certainly seems that way. Therefore, I must start with this disclaimer:

*The information provided in the Transformation Experience is intended for educational purposes only.

I’ll add entertainment purposes too. Life is meant to be fun!

The Transformation Experience is certainly educational, but where it differs from many other personal development programs is that the education is only a foundation. On that foundation, we build practical tools that you can use in your life immediately after you discover them, and they are fun to use. All of this is fun.

So relax and have fun. This life was meant to be a joy for you. You will journey back to that feeling.

There are no exams, no tests. The responsibility for learning is in my teaching. Just open your mind, heart and solar-plexus to a new way of seeing the universe and your place in it. Then you’ll have the self-confidence to thrive and be all and more than you can dream up.

You will not just feel better about the life you have, you’ll actually get the better life you want.

I meet so many people who bounce from one course or program to another. I know some who have spent tens of thousands over the years, I think they get temporary serotonin highs from them. When the high fades they seek it again, and it becomes course after course, book after book, guru after guru.

My wish for you here is that this is the last experience you ever feel the need to purchase.

But my California lawyers  prefer that I finish disclaimers first:

*You should not rely on this information in the Transformation Experience or elsewhere in any programs provided by Trevorgblake.com LLC as a substitute for, nor does it replace medical or other professional advice. You should consult your healthcare professional before starting any activity suggested in ‘homework’ or elsewhere herein. By following instructions provided in this course you are doing so at your own risk.

Okay, we are nearly done with the disclaimers.

I do actually like lawyers and I find lawyers tell the best lawyer jokes. ‘Why do sharks not attack lawyers? Professional courtesy.’ Told to me by a lawyer at my first company just before he presented me with an invoice for over a million dollars. Yes, lawyers have great senses of humor!

We have many lawyers enjoying the Transformation Experience, and occasionally they ask me about copyrights.

The final disclaimer:

*I use a few video clips to help create a multi-media experience and highlight the most important ‘take-home messages’ TED Talks are shared under the TED Creative Commons license, or CC BY–NC–ND 4.0 International. YouTube inclusions are by permission. Book excerpts and direct quotes are also shared with the author’s permission.

End of disclaimers! Hoorah!

Now…

Welcome everyone!

I am Trevor G. Blake. I don’t know how you arrived here. Maybe you have read my books and followed my messages for a few years or maybe you just saw a YouTube video and decided to jump in. It matters not. Welcome.

I am known as a serial entrepreneur and a writer. I am less known as a physicist by education, and a perpetual student of life by nature. As such, I think I am pretty good at demystifying the mystical and explaining the how and why things work the way they do. I believe this helps remove the stress that is often associated with other courses and programs. When you know how something works, and you have an easy tool to make magic happen, you don’t have to believe anymore. You just use it…stress-free.

Here is another fact that most people don’t know about me: Everything worthwhile that I know, and now pass along to you here, was taught to me by women. Amazing women who were and are in full embrace with their feminine power – my mother (Audrey), my deceased wife (Lynda), and my current wife (Jess). I consider myself to be the luckiest man alive to be unconditionally loved by three amazing women who epitomize the meaning of feminine power.

They taught (and continue to teach) me the meaning of this earth-bound game of life. They have demonstrated the difference between all kinds of energies and how to balance the two common ones we erroneously label masculine and feminine. (we’ll get into all of that later) They have taught me the power of intuition and the magic of Intention.

Yes, I have put it all together in one place and for that I take a little credit, but just a little. As you travel through this experience you could be forgiven for thinking that these words are mine, or that the techniques have been created by me. They have not. I learned them all through observation of these three wizards. I am honored to be the conduit for their wisdom.
‍

Speaking of which I’d like to introduce you to my wife, Jess. You will get to know her through the art she’s seasoned over The Transformation Experience.

Jess is an award-winning, published writer and illustrator. Her books It’s not all Rainbows, That’s My Sweater and, Sprout Branches Out, are known not just for their beautiful art, also their profound messages to help young humans deal with the constraints of modern life in which flaws and failures are mostly frowned upon. Says Jess: Flaws and failures are what make us special and I hope my writing inspires kids and parents to be more accepting of their place in our human experience.

Because I lean toward science, I am not terribly confident as an artist, but I know art teaches as much if not more than science.

Jess is a graduate of this Transformation Experience and two years after setting an Intention (see later) to add to this experience for the benefit of everyone who travels this way, she has beautifully illustrated each activity.

Jess teaches the art of storytelling and you can find her work here:

‍

At the end of every activity, even these introductory ones, there will be an exercise for you. We’ll call it homework and Jess’ logo to the side is the homework bookmark.

If you are like me then the thought of ‘homework’ makes your stomach churn, but I promise the homework is fun and easy and you’ll look forward to these activities.

There are parts of our brains that we need to rewire. We’ll get into the detail later. We need, however, to reprogram those neurons and create new neural pathways. Homework is the main tool we will use for this because in order to create new habits we need to take some kind of mental and physical action.

This first homework is more important than it might at first appear.

Please read it carefully and also listen regularly to the audio recording included below.
‍

The Transformation Experience requires free-thinking. There are no religious, philosophical, technological or political biases here. None. That is non-negotiable. If you have picked up some dogma on your journey prior to arriving here, I politely ask you to lift it from your shoulders (dogma weighs you down), remove any crowns (they are fools gold and full of thorns) and leave them at the door. They have no power here and they will slow your transformation down.

Before you step inside the Transformation Experience, please also discard any prejudices, intolerance, complaints, gossip, and judgements. They no longer serve you and here they no longer trap you. This is a place of free-thinking, truth seeking, fun-having, love-making, and soul-nurturing. Only open minds can experience it all.

Now, as a free-thinker, please do step inside and with an open mind embrace facts over myth, and truth over propaganda.

As you enter this experience you need to understand its power. Knowledge digested well, leads to wisdom. Wisdom, however, can be a double-edged sword. Please read my words below:

Most have eyes with which to see and ears with which to hear.

Fewer have eyes for sight and ears for listening.

Open your vision wide, stretch your hearing far, and let intuition guide you.

The knowledge you digest in this course is powerful. The knowledge is available to anyone who cares to seek it, but most avoid it. The fact you are here spotlights you to the Totality. Knowledge begets knowledge. To she/he who has, more is given.

Some find knowledge scary or threatening when it challenges the belief systems they have relied on for purpose or for survival to this point. The truth, however, sets them free.

Being free and powerful is exhilarating. A freed bird can feel isolated and lonely at first.

Freedom can also be dangerous.

It has long been said that authority figures do not like the mystic or the free-­thinker, because they fear nothing, not even death. Especially not death, for they know it’s an illusion.

Therefore, the free-­thinker cannot be coerced into doing harm to another in exchange for survival, nor be made to accept false rule over suffering.

Those who claim authority over others whether a politician, parent, friend, teacher, preacher, elder or employer are never comfortable with free-thinkers. They are never at ease whilst they behold someone greater than themselves.

There is only one imperative for the person who is newly free and powerful. You must use that to be all you can be…to excel, to shine, to lead by example.

You cannot use this knowledge to coerce, exhort or sculpt any other person. For in attempting to do so you will lose more than you gained.

Simply be the best you can be and let others follow if they so choose.

That said, let me whet your appetites of what is to come with free-thinker Jason Silva, ‘We dream of what we might become.’
Jason Silva (Jason Luis Silva Mishkin) is a Venezuelan-American television personality, filmmaker, futurist, philosopher, and public speaker. He is known for hosting the National Geographic documentaries Brain Games and Origins. He has stated that his goal is to use technology to excite people about philosophy and science. Lots of his short and beautifully breathless videos can be viewed for free online.

He sets the mood for what you will experience here:

Now, please take a moment to introduce yourself. Most people do the transformation experience many, many times. Even though they may have passed this way before and left a note or two, I can assure you they will pass this way again and again. Please take the time to also say hello.

Cheers & Welcome,

Trev
