The Harmonious Mind of Albert Einstein

It all begins with an idea.

As you may know, I am a therapist who sees healing as interconnected. In many cases, the themes faced by my clients are areas in which I am working on myself. And a central lesson for myself as of yet has been self-acceptance. By being at peace with ourselves through self-acceptance, we can come to be at peace with those around us. In a dream that I recently had, I was shown the importance of harmony within self and others.

Aware of the fact that I’m dreaming, I fly around a large city for much of the dream. Somewhere along the way, I fall into conflict with a family member. While I seemingly win at times, I seemingly lose at others. Regardless of who wins at any given moment, our fighting keeps the samsaric pattern of repetition going. The relentless resentment drags on till I cease to fight. As if to reward my choice for harmony, I fly once more peacefully around the city and read part of a magazine title “The Harmonious Mind of Albert Einstein.” 

After awakening and journaling this dream, I drive to Fort Collins to see a friend. I then synchronously notice that my exit is on Harmony Road when I’m 20 miles away! The number 20 provides further synchrony, as 20 (2+0=2) is 2 in numerology, which just so happens to symbolize harmony! These synchronicities inspire me to discover many quotes of Einstein, one of which reads, “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” In another one of his quotes, Einstein states, “Once we accept our limits, we can go beyond them.”

The first step, then, in being at peace with others is being at peace with ourselves, for it is through accepting our shadow parts and shining love on them that we can go beyond them. Let us bless ourselves with the gift of self-accpetance, that- in cultivating inner harmony- we may share our harmony with the world.

It all begins with an idea.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
