Rediscovering Easy World
Wake up! Wake up! I have exciting news! It’s time to return to Easy World at last!
Long ago, you fell asleep and found yourself in Difficult World and forgot you had the choice to be in the world in which your life is easy and joy-filled. You’ve been spending the majority of your life in the realm of struggle, strife, and worry, not realizing it was unnecessary. But now it’s time to rediscover the remarkable world of your origins and to remember that you can choose to be there once more.
Even though you—and the rest of humanity—have pretty much forgotten about it, the reality called “Easy World” is eternal. It exists as it has since before the dawn of human existence and is as vital and powerful as ever. It has been perpetually available and accessible to every single human being at any time (and yes, that includes you), but because you forgot about it and didn’t know to choose it, it may as well not have existed except for those times when you slipped back into it unawares.
Basically, it never went away—you did!
But however long you’ve been away, Easy World is waiting for you to remember it. And because the more of us who choose Easy World, the more harmonious and joyful life on Planet Earth will be, I believe we’re getting extra help now in remembering. As you will see when you read my personal story of re-discovering Easy World, which I’m going to share with you in this chapter, Easy World is so ready for our return, it apparently has invisible PR agents, intent on helping us remember it!
I certainly needed help. I’d like to assure you from the outset that my being the one to bring you the word about Easy World is not because I am the extremely rare human being who has managed to stay in Easy World her whole life, never losing touch with it. Not at all. I think I was simply ripe to return to it, and Divine Intelligence knew I was someone who would never keep quiet about such an amazing discovery!
Just as I’m sure you have, I have spent a large share of my life outside of Easy World. In all honesty, I still find myself in Difficult World more than I’d like to, though far less often than before I was reawakened to an awareness of Easy World and my choice to be there! In fact, it was my unconscious insistence on being in Difficult World at a particular time that seemed to beckon the remembrance of Easy World.
I’m going to share my own story of rediscovering Easy World with you now so you can see how quickly and easily one can move out of Difficult World and into Easy World again, even after a long, long absence—and even when there is every reason to believe that things are so complicated, they surely have to be difficult!
A DIVINE WHISPER
I was reminded of Easy World, appropriately, at the easiest possible time for me to be receptive to it: when I was way, way outside of it. It was about 4:20 in the morning—you know, that time when you wake up and start thinking about the pile of things facing you but it’s too early (sane people are still sleeping) to take practical steps to deal with what ever you’re worried about, so you just lie there stewing. I bet you’ve been there before.
My husband, Rick, and I had just the evening before clinched our decision to install an Endless Pool, a small swimming pool with a current you swim against, in our garage. We had met with the installer, figured out the logistics, and set a time line. While this was cause for celebration—a dream coming true after my having wanted the pool for almost twenty years, and now needing one because of knee problems—it was going to require a whole lot more than just setting up a small pool in the garage!
I won’t name all the items on the mile-long list of tasks that needed orchestrating, and stuff that had to be moved, excavated, cleaned, built, installed, and paid for. It was a mammoth-seeming undertaking, requiring multiple tradespeople, including concrete contractors, building contractors, electrical contractors, and so on. And all of this had to be perfectly coordinated to get everything done by the time the pool arrived to be installed, with a substantial financial penalty for not being ready. No pressure there!
There was a whole pile of additional factors, too, including harsh winter weather (this was Denver, Colorado, at the end of January 2007, with frozen ground covered by feet-deep, frozen-solid snow) and the timing of other home improvement projects that had already been scheduled. Oh, and I can’t fail to mention that the garage was housing a couple dozen cartons of books, our larger-than-average collection of lawn and garden equipment and supplies, and years’ worth of miscellaneous junk that we had stuck there when we didn’t know what else to do with it.
Talk about overwhelming—where was all this stuff going to go? With my mobility issues and Rick’s work commitments, how were we going to get it all cleaned out and moved so the contractors could get started? And speaking of contractors, how would we find the right ones?
My past experience with contractors had been that not many were interested in small jobs, so I deeply dreaded trying to get anyone to say he’d be willing to do the work, not to mention interviewing a bunch of contractors to try to find the best price for the best quality, and orchestrate it all so it got done in the right sequence and on time. Consider my anxiety about coordinating all this, combined with my perfectionistic need to get it all exactly right, and you’ll have some sense of my state of mind upon retiring that night.
I went to bed in a knot of concern, but not before I filled out a few requests with an Internet company I had received a promotional e-mail about earlier that week that matches you with prescreened contractors in your area. I didn’t have much confidence in it, but at least it was a way to feel I was doing something, even though it was late at night. I planned to start the uncomfortable task of getting out the phone book and making cold calls the next day.
As is my habit as a night owl, I went to bed at around two A.M., and when I woke up at 4:20, all of this was on my mind. As I lay there, mind churning, desperately trying to figure out how in the world I was going to make this all happen the way it needed to, I heard a gentle, loving, yet firm inner whisper that said what I now know were some of the most profound words I’d ever heard: “Julia, you could just choose to live in Easy World, where everything is easy.”
Easy World? It sounded like a refreshing oasis in the midst of a vast desert, and something deep inside said, “Yes!”
Too mentally exhausted from all the worry and lack of sleep to question or ponder what I’d heard, I realized I might as well let go, since I seemed to be getting nowhere anyway. “What the heck?” I thought. There seemed to be nothing to lose.
And then I said, “Okay. I choose to live in Easy World, where everything is easy.” I rolled over, relaxed, promptly fell asleep, and slumbered in complete peace.
AWAKENING TO A WHOLE NEW WORLD
By the time I woke up mid-morning and got to my desk, I had forgotten about Easy World. Remarkably, however, I had e-mails and calls from multiple contractors for each job that needed doing. While I had forgotten about Easy World, it, apparently, had not forgotten about me! Things fell into place with an ease that was simply unprecedented in my experience, and it was obvious something very different was going on.
I didn’t have to beat the bushes for people willing to do the work; I had an abundance of people lined up to do it! We met with the first contractor who had contacted us about doing the concrete work,...
