Emergence: A Revolutionary Path For Radical Life Change - with Derek Rydall

It can be very challenging to know when to stay the course and when to change or to switch lanes. As I've often talked about, one of the most important things to do as a creator and entrepreneurial type is to pick a lane and to stay in that lane. If not, you typically try to juggle multiple things and play the field, and find that nothing ends up growing, and you don't gain any real momentum. I st...

Especially in the self-help, self-improvement realm of things and even beyond that, we've come to really put a lot of stock in our beliefs. At a certain relative level, it's important to improve your beliefs and your thoughts. It's important to do the inner work, to take back control of your mind and reprogram the patterns and condition your mind. Step-by-step, you can uplevel your thoughts, your...

We hear the expression "I'm just going to go with the flow" a lot from heart-centered, spiritually-minded people, or even those who are just trying to have less stress in their life. In many cases, this is a stall tactic or an avoidance tactic. It's an egoic defense mechanism – what it really means is, "I'm stressed out", "I'm burned out", "I'm overwhelmed". Going with the flow is not always good...

Why Can't You Get What You Don't Have? There's life and there's life experience, and life (which is a synonym for God, or love, truth, universal power, spirit, etc.) is all that there really is. Life is forever unfolding and expressing. It's giving of itself everywhere, maintaining and sustaining its own perfection eternally. You are a unique individualized expression of this infinite life. You an...

Stay Rooted as You Rise... This is the secret to unending growth, success, and abundance. From the analogy of a plant or a tree, think of a farmer who's harvesting fruit trees…  The farmer cultivates the soil, plants the seed, waters, weeds, feeds and exposes it to the proper light.  Eventually, the seed sprouts and becomes a tree, but all along the farmer continues to nourish its roots. Over time...

This is a very powerful and personal question that I'm sure many of you have had. I've certainly been asked it many times and have asked myself  this many times… From the Emergence model and the perennial truth teachings, whatever is missing is what you're not giving. The whole of ultimate reality is in your soul and your consciousness.  So if you are praying for something, trying to get, attract,...

What is the Path of True Abundance? Unconditional giving – it's the whole foundation, and ultimately, the core principle of Emergence. As the emergence work says, whatever is missing is what we're not giving. Whatever we're waiting for, we're waiting with. If you are really operating as if the whole kingdom of Heaven, as if all of the Universe was within you, and whatever was missing was what you...

The core reason Why Aren't Things Working Anymore is evolutionary… You've activated a larger life and something more is trying to emerge through you. You're being called to let go of those lesser tools, habits, and mindsets that are no longer congruent and begin to embrace a more refined way of living that's in integrity with the emerging vision. Maybe you've come to understand the Law of Emergenc...

Today's topic comes from this fundamental idea that, God, as we've been conditioned to know it (whether you believe in a God or not) is a power outside of us. We are unpacking these ideas, busting these myths, and letting go of old limited archaic concepts of God, life, and power, in order to come to a deeper and truer understanding of life principles. What I really want you to get is the fundamen...

Forgiveness is such a loaded subject, partly because we don't really understand what forgiveness means, and that there are multiple levels of forgiveness. The most primary level is a sort of superiority; it's very much an ego-driven thing.  At this level, you, to some extent, recognize that unforgiveness is unuseful; there's some level of recognizing that holding a grudge is painful and it's not h...

I'm shaking up things a little bit here. Today's topic may be the most controversial thing I've ever talked and taught about: 'Jesus Was Not His Name'. The real purpose of this particular talk is to try to clear away a lot of the dogma, doctrine, extremism, and the fundamentalism around the great philosophies and religions. I really want to open you up to become contemplative, a student of truth,...

I'm going to say something that might seem controversial, but if you want results in your life you must understand this... No matter how much you beg or beseech God, God will not help you get what you're praying for. But when you understand this critical principle of life and change the way you connect with your divine nature, you will NEVER be without help again. Life isn't personal, it's princip...

Today we're talking about the topic, 'Play, Rest, Repeat: Embracing Ups and Downs'. This is about becoming more in alignment with the Divine Flow of your life, that natural emerging impulse that can order all of our steps with ease and grace. What could be possible if you only did what was your deepest, most authentic truth? How joyful and playful could life become if you let life live fully throu...

This is both a powerful principle and somewhat controversial because it doesn't always look like the Universe is rigged in our favor. When we say life is for us, we are tapping into the principle of oneness, and the truth that life is always working to express more of its wholeness, abundance, and perfection — always supporting its own fulfillment. This means it's all working for your highest and...

  We're doing a deep dive today around the topic 'The Fields Are Always Full: How to Transcend Seasons and Cycles and Experience More Abundance Now'. You've heard me use the analogy of the radio broadcast: Right now, right where you are, your favorite music is broadcasting. There's information, inspiration, and music broadcasting that if you were to suddenly hear, it would inspire you, and would c...

  Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People (And Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People)? This is an age-old question, and it's  answered in my latest podcast. It can be a crisis of faith when we start to look out and see what we might call 'negative', 'destructive', or 'greedy' types of people, and we wonder why they have so much more abundance than really 'decent', 'good-hearted' people. Or why a...

Greetings, my fellow Emergineers , it's great to bring you another very important topic, 'Always be Planting: How to Harvest Your Past and Seed Your future.' The first thing to understand is that you're always planting, and you're always reaping what you've planted in the past. Every thought, every word, and every action is a seed of your future moment, and every moment is the fruit of a past seed...

Life is alive, and it's purpose is to live, give, share, shine, circulate and to put itself on ever-greater display. If you're not saying yes to your yes and coming into integrity with that emerging vision and purpose of your life, then you're not fulfilling your reason for being here. You're like an extra piece in this Divine puzzle, and extra pieces get pushed to the side. I'm not saying this to...

There are a few variations of this question, but they all have to do with doing what you know you need to do EVEN when you don't feel like doing it. The first fundamental principle we must begin to understand and embrace is that conditions do not determine who we are and how we show up. Secondly, many people seem to check in with their emotions before doing something. STOP! You don't need to check...

It's just an honor to do this deep dive with you into 'Loving Your Enemy, the True Path of Healing and Mastery'. We often think about this demand or command from the Bible, 'love your enemy', having to do with other people. It doesn't really have anything to do with people. But principally speaking, it refers to all that you judge bad or negative, in your body and your world. For instance, it refe...

It's such an honor to bring you this very powerful topic, 'Snap Out of It! The Five Hypnotic Spells Sabotaging Your Success'. What I'm talking about when I say "Snap out of it!" is about waking up from our limited life perceptions; waking up out of these hypnotic spells about life and beholding life as it really is. The truth is that indeed all there really is is love, life, harmony and wholeness,...

I'm very excited to talk about today's topic, "The Only Goal That Matters: The One Minute Mystic". The real principle of life, of ultimate liberation and fulfillment, is to seek first that connection within you. To begin to organize your whole life and your whole living around only one thing – to seek God consciousness, Love consciousness, connection with this Divine Spirit, this evolutionary impu...

Today's topic is yet another important one: 'Your Action is Your Religion'.   It's part of an unfolding series of topics, around this theme of Whatever It Takes and The Commitment Code. There is this belief that you can't do something unless you feel it or believe it; that you can't take action until you feel inspired to do so, or you can't really step into that life and do that thing until you ar...

I'm so inspired in general with today's topic, The Best Day of Your Life: How to Create Rituals That Put Your Growth and Success on Autopilot! When we talk about creating the best day of your life, we're using the day as a template, as a platform to design, build and structure your ideal day. You want to look at this day as your masterpiece. This is your work of art, your great sculpture. You get...

We're diving into another really important, and frequently asked question, "How do I find my purpose?" This questions is also phrased as, "What if I don't know my purpose?" or "How do I know this is my purpose?" The first thing to understand is one of the reasons why we have a hard time finding an answering to this question, is that, first of all, we think that our purpose has to be some big grand...
