The Universe Has Your Back
in 7 Kernaussagen verstehen

Audio & Text in der Blinkist App

Kernaussage 1 von 7

What’s in it for me? Surrender your way to happiness.

Life can be scary. Even if you live in a relatively safe country, have good health, a secure job, and the love of those you cherish, the innate uncertainty that comes with existence means fear and anxiety will often soundtrack your life.

This quiet but pervasive hum mightn’t strike you as a bad thing. After all, isn’t it wise to be on guard, alert to everyone and everything that could cause you harm?

While fight, flight, and freeze are all effective strategies in times of acute stress or danger, choosing defense as your full-time default actually cuts you off from the things you’re ultimately looking for in life: love, peace, and joy. And even worse than this, resistance and being unwilling to lower your defenses can stop you from healing, leaving you in a permanent state of unhappiness.

In this Blink, you’ll discover the boundlessness of divine guidance available to you, when you choose surrender over resistance, and faith over fear. By the end, you’ll have no doubt that the Universe really does have your back.

Your presence is your superpower

If you were cast in the next superhero blockbuster, what superpower would you ask for? Flight? Invisibility? Hulk-like strength?

Perhaps you have a different answer to these go-tos, but you probably didn’t pick “presence.” Yet, you might, if you knew that presence is the key to unlocking true abundance, deep healing, and divine guidance.

In a way, our lives are like the movies we watch at home or in the cinema. But instead of projecting stories onto a static screen, we project stories onto the moving world around us, and this motion picture defines how we perceive life.

Consider for a moment the stories you might be projecting. For many, there’ll be a stubborn fear-based story that gets more reruns than it deserves. Maybe it says you don’t belong, aren’t enough, or will never find love. Take a second to sit with how this makes you feel.

Fortunately, we can always change our internal films if we aren’t enjoying them, just like a film editor can change a movie after it’s been filmed. When it comes to your internal film, you mightn’t get to choose what you see, but you do get to choose the meaning it contains.

So, what if you’re stuck watching an anxiety-ridden story right now? Here, Bernstein offers the Holy Instant. Think of it like an internal remote control.

First, pause and come into the present moment – the most powerful moment. Gently acknowledge that you’ve been playing a fear-based film, and note your desire for a more empowering narrative. Then, change your internal reel by asking the Universe to lovingly guide you through your fears to a new, happier narrative.

In addition to abundance, healing, and guidance, it’s in this state of presence that you also find effortless happiness. In fact, your happiness is a direct measure of how quickly you can move from a fearful story of the past or future to the loving narrative of the present.

Presence really is quite the superpower, isn’t it?

Universal assignments

You may have thought your school days were long gone, but in truth, the world is a classroom we enter at birth and remain in until we pass on.

The assignments in this classroom, however, are rather unique: they’re the people you encounter over the course of your life. And they have an uncanny knack for summoning old fears.

Good vibrations

As Bernstein stood in front of the footlights, ready to deliver a talk, she noted that eighty percent of her audience was wearing headphones. She was in Hamburg, Germany, and it was her first time using a live translator to help transmit her message.

In the moments before stepping on stage, Bernstein sat and meditated. Her heart’s intention was to serve this German-speaking audience, but she had no precedent for what this looked like. So Bernstein did the only thing she knew how: she surrendered her intention to the Universe and asked for divine guidance.

The obstacle is the way

On your list of favorite things, obstacles probably don’t rank near the top. Whether you’re looking for a new job, a loving relationship, or a place to call home, the ideal is for it to go exactly as you’d planned, right?

Having goals isn’t a bad thing. As we explored in the last section, committing to love-based intentions is the very path to transcending challenges and suffering. What becomes problematic is clinging to a super specific, narrowly-defined outcome – a sure sign of fear and an unwillingness to trust the divine order of the Universe. In an attempt to force or manipulate our intention into unfolding as we believe it “should,” we unknowingly block its realization. The Universe doesn’t align with the energy of our “should” mentality.

Sat Nam: Truth is your name

Bernstein was 25 when she decided to swap drugs for dharma – fear for faith. Now, more than ten years later, she still honors the moment she chose love, proudly referring to herself as a “Spirit Junkie.”

Like many spiritual seekers, Bernstein explored countless wisdom traditions. Some time into her journey, she attended a course with alternative medicine pioneer Deepak Chopra. In her one-on-one meeting with him at the end, Bernstein asked whether this was okay. Was it okay that she found inspiration in so many different modalities? Deepak told her gently that she was allowed to do whatever she needed to, to support her journey to higher consciousness.

Be the light

You’ve come a long way since starting this Blink. You’ve learned about the superpower of presence, the meaning of Universal assignments, the magic of joyful intentions, the wisdom of obstacles, and the truth of interconnectedness. You now know how loved, guided, and secure you really are.

However, these trainings are innately dual-purpose. While you’ll soon start to see the waves of positive transformation ripple out in your own life, you’ll also begin to notice the positivity you prompt in the world around you. And in these chaotic times, goodness knows we need this more than anything.

Final Summary

In any moment, love, peace, and joy can be yours. You just need to choose faith over fear.

By accepting instead of resisting, surrendering instead of controlling, you open yourself to the boundless divine guidance of the Universe. And when you follow this divine guidance, you’ll be led to true happiness and healing – both for yourself and the world around you.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
