As an astronaut of consciousness I had to raise my son Miles as a lucid dreamer. I started with no particular agenda or expectations when he was about three and a half. That was three years ago. Today Miles is a natural. He thinks about and experiences dreaming in a way I've never experienced before. For him, waking up in his dreams is just a matter of course. That's simply how dreaming goes. It was only recently that I realized that he can go lucid at will. Today he woke me up with new details on exactly how easily he can influence his dreams. The details are in the video....

I was sick and I didn t want to get up. In fact, all I wanted was a little love and a lot of sleep. But the love wasn t coming. Mary had been self-raised in the school of, I don t believe in being sick, so I don t get sick . To her, my fever was a choice - one she was not going to support.During the course of our two-year relationship, I think I got sick once more. I was in the best health of my life. Being with Mary was phenomenal for my well-being because, with her, sickness was always a choice and the decision was easy. My son Miles and I are in deep rapport. While he doesn t believe everything I say to him, he believes most things. And when he believes something, he believes it ALL the way.That s why when I hear myself say something like, sugar is no good for you I flinch. While I know my intention is to communicate a necessary truth and help him understand why he s not allowed to have that second lollipop, language is powerful and and I loathe creating cracks into which disease can slip.If he believes that a lollipop can make him sick, on a deeper level, he believes he can get sick and my inner Mary does not approve of that one little bit.In the nubile minds of our children, we re all witch doctors capable of true magic. What spells are you casting?

I think Mother Theresa was selfish. I don t mean that in a bad way, I mean that Mother Theresa knew that, for her, helping other people made life worth living. I trust that kind of selfishness - it s rooted in truth. Most people don t know what Mother Theresa knew. They enter relationships to get something without ever admitting their true motivation. And so there is something false that comes through. An anxiety that they might be found out, either by the other person or by themselves!It s only those rare few that understand the fundamental passion of their own lives and enter every relationship sorting for how to make that passion manifest.I have a blog about Pathbreakers - people who live uncompromising lives and succeed in finding that perfect intersection of doing what they love and making money. I interview them and find out how they do what they do. And the thing that is shared by every one of them is that they know what they want, they commit to it, and they are uncompromising about building their lives around it. They are selfish about attending to it and not letting anything get in the way - not other people s opinions, not what they should do, not their lack of time or the state of the world - nothing.Recently, I ve found a new pathbreaker. He is the darling of the social media world and I can understand why. Chris Brogan is enthralled by what he does. He has found what he is passionate about and he does it all the time, selfishly following his fascination, non-stop. And, like Mother Theresa, because he s doing what he loves, he is able to act selflessly in a way few others can; he s able to actually give back to the people he interacts with. And people respond to that. I respond to that. This video is a tribute to his work and to his and Julien Smith s new book Trust Agents. The video is about why true trust is always founded in the deep integrity of knowing what you want in your life. And without further adieu, here s why I only trust the selfish:
