This is a true story, a pivotal moment that sparked my lifelong fascination with human potential beyond the ordinary. It was on a soccer field, a seemingly mundane setting, where I first glimpsed the profound connection between human potential and shifts in awareness, the ability to move from stressed reactivity to calm, miraculous responsiveness.

My team was relentlessly pressing, dominating the opponent’s end, yet the goal remained elusive. The half perpetuated, a frustrating cycle of near-misses, a never-ending “bing bong” as the ball ricocheted between players. I hung back, observing, waiting, wondering if the ball might finally “bing” its way to me. And it did.

In that moment, I felt a deep resistance to simply returning the ball to the inert chaos I had witnessed. I knew I needed to do something different than just “kick it back.” So, I pivoted, turning away from the goal, heading in the opposite direction. I faintly heard my teammates’ cries, telling me I was going “the wrong way.”

Then, everything faded. The external world dissolved, replaced by a single, clear inner voice: “Pivot again. Shoot.” I pivoted once more, and watched as the ball soared, an arc of perfect intention, flying above the re-emerging players, falling just below the goal bar, beyond the goalie’s reach. A solitary goal, a moment of pure clarity.

Years of reflection have illuminated the truth of that moment. What I glimpsed then, I now understand deeply: the potential beyond the ordinary, the profound power of a shifted consciousness. It wasn’t an instant of sudden knowledge, but the seed of a realization that has blossomed over time. I’ve come to understand that true responsiveness, the kind that transcends reactive chaos, lies in the deliberate act of pausing, pivoting, and aligning with the inner voice. That voice, I’ve learned, is the source of what feels like miraculous action. This, I now know with certainty, is the essence of SerenThaume, the path I am dedicated to sharing, and holding space for others to discover their own inner, magical awareness.

The End.
