Always Leave an Opening

Some time ago I read an interview of Richard Bartlett  (founder of Matrix Energetics) and his partner Melissa Joy in the June 2012 issue of Vision Magazine.  I like Bartlett because he speaks his mind in a forthright manner with a minimum of obvious calculation.  Also, I tend to agree with him a lot.

Here’s the relevant part of the interview:

Vision Magazine:  Where do you think we are at in terms of our culture shifting?

Richard Bartlett:  I think the culture is getting stupider, for sure...  I’m not sure America has talent.  They certainly don’t have brains.

Melissa Joy:  I think there is an overall cultural waking-up that is taking place that is very, very exciting. 

Richard Bartlett:  I think that’s 1 percent of 1 percent of 1 percent of the population.  However, that 1 percent of 1 percent of 1 percent could be enough to change everything.

Bartlett’s analysis is deadly accurate, but you can’t do much with it.  Then, in the very last sentence, he turns it around 180 degrees by saying, “However, that 1 percent of 1 percent of 1 percent could be enough to change everything.”  By saying this (and everything we say, like it or not, is an affirmation), he created an opening for the Universe to move in and do its magic.  The Creative Flow is no longer being blocked by our limited thinking when we add that all-important “however, something different could be.”
