DAY TWO: MORNING (I) – Jim

Jim: Magnes, I don’t have a specific dream, but this is my question, because I have struggled for years with this. In the self-help world, it’s fairly relentless – have a dream, live your dream – and when you don’t have one, it’s really frustrating!

So, one of my reasons for coming along to meet you Magnes, was the hope that it might unlock some doors for me in this area, and that I might walk away with a dream in my pocket, one that I can really cherish and put my heart and soul into making it happen.

Just the thought of having something that I could put my heart and soul into gives me the chills, to be honest; I find it utterly thrilling, just the mere idea of it.

MAGNES JACK: And so you should! [Laughing] Because it is thrilling indeed.

Jim, that feeling you have, of putting your heart and soul into something. [Jim: Yes.] Do you see how that is an expression of your dream?

Jim: Well, it really feels important to me, but then I think what? What can I work on?

MAGNES JACK: Jim, when you have the sense of putting your heart and soul into something, who do you sense you are doing this for? For yourself primarily, or for others primarily?

Jim: For others, I would say. Although I am absolutely loving it too! So maybe a bit of both.

MAGNES JACK: And what is your sense of the kind of work this is? By kind of work, I don’t mean a specific this or that, but does it feel practical, for example?

Jim: That’s interesting, because it does feel practical, as opposed to say theoretical. I feel I’m getting my hands dirty on something.

MAGNES JACK: Do you mean like you’re building something?

Jim: Yes, but I don’t know what.

MAGNES JACK: Well, that’s not important right now, because this is about exploring our dreams, and to do that we begin with the feelings and explore them by sinking into those feelings and sensing what they are about.

So you are building, and you are enjoying the building.

Jim: Yes, it’s great.

MAGNES JACK: And you sensed that it was for others in some way.

Jim: Yes, it definitely feels like I’m doing this for the benefit of many people.

MAGNES JACK: Ah, many people!

Jim: Like a group of people who just need a leg up as it were. Actually, I can actually see some people in my mind. They are helping me build. We are part of a team. It’s difficult work, but when it is finished, the benefits will be fantastic.

MAGNES JACK: Jim, what I’m going to suggest is that you stay with your dream, and allow it to develop further, and during the day, that you jot down anything that comes to mind that resonates with your dream. Just jot things down. Ideas from right and left field, nothing forced, just ideas that are sparked by the lovely feelings you have.

Jim: Ok. Thank you. Gosh, I didn’t think it would be so quick. I really feel now that I have a handle on this in a way I never had.

MAGNES JACK: Wonderful. Thank you Jim, and do let us know as it progresses.

Jim: Will do!
