This time, we're focusing on your past self, the self you once were. Remember
when you were 14 years old… How did you think back then?
What did you wish for? What did you want in your future?
How did you see the world?
Answer these questions as if you were 14 again. And once you've answered
them, compare your wishes from back then with your current situation. What
have you achieved?
Perhaps you once wished to become an astronaut or a nurse. That might not
have worked out. But think about the other wishes you had: your own car, your
own room or apartment, living alone, or having an attractive partner.
Perhaps you've even achieved much more than you wished for back then. And
imagine how your 14-year-old self would react to everything you've accomplished.
In this way, you can learn to communicate with your past and future selves.
This is very important because you need to understand that time doesn't just
flow linearly, but also sideways. This implies that there are countless realities.
Think of Hugh Everett's multi-worlds concept. I can tell you, he was absolutely
right.
And it's important that you learn to navigate these worlds. It's still a long
road ahead, but it's definitely worth it. And if you die, you'll have to learn
it anyway.
