I’m in some mental state. It’s not the state that I want to be in. How do I get where I want to be?
The wrong answer, the old answer, was to try to find a way to get from here from there. Maybe ask “What’s keeping me from getting there?” Maybe ask: “What do I need to do to get there?”
The right answer, the new answer, is to just be there. It’s a jump through psychological hyperspace. Instead of moving from here to there, instead of becoming what I want to be, I just declare myself to be there. And there I am.
It works lots of the times that I have tried it. But sometimes it doesn’t. I end up someplace different than I started out, but generally closer.
The thing about hyperspace jumps is this: sometimes it take more than on jump to get where you want to go. So I take a second jump. Or a third. And get there.
I just have to remember to jump.
