I have a life practice called “Mr. Beaning”


If you’ve been stuck with something I suggest you try it.


Simply ask “What would Mr Bean do?”


If you’ve watched the iconic Mr. Bean episodes by Rowan Atkinson then you’re familiar with the approach Bean takes to solving complex problems and situations.


Often what appears externally as totally moronic and socially uncalibrated behavior actually ends up in his favor.


ie: brushing your teeth while driving because you're late for your appointment and using the windshield wiper fluid to rinse your mouth, using a shoe and a plastic bag to make a salad...


...or bringing a fish and a potato with you to the appliance store to test out the potato peeler and the size of the frying pan.


(*If you've never watched Mr. Bean, you're missing out, here's a good one to start with.)


Atkinson made the audience reel with laughter at Bean’s mannerisms, but few recognize that underneath the character’s laughable poise is hidden brilliance that edges on quantum physics genius.


Mr. Bean defies reality, enters flow, and penetrates resistance of conventional limits by being oblivious to boundaries, socially acceptable norms, and conclusions.


Yesterday was a perfect example of how I used the principles of Mr.Bean-ism to bend time and get free luggage allowance at the airport.


I was traveling and was in a pickle... my life felt like a Mr Bean episode.


Normally I am one of these people that loves to organize and prepare for travel way in advance.


This is something I'm quite proud of in myself.


Organizing for weeks in advance, I had planned to get plenty of sleep, be fully packed and ready to go, flying to Poland and Greece to start the big sailing adventure...


However, life always has other plans.


Due to divine intervention, there I was running late to the airport, running on only 3 hours of sleep, brushing my teeth in the car while I was driving.


Some tooth-paste oozed out of my mouth and onto my shorts as I hit an unexpected traffic jam which added another 30 minutes to my lateness. "Perfect," I thought and had a laugh, breathing and comforting my nervous system as I assured my body that all would be well.


I arrived at the long-term drop-off-your-car parking and stammered out of the car as half a blender, socks, supplement bottles, boxes, rubber exercise bands, books, my favorite hats, and old electronic razors I had planned to throw out spilled onto the ground.


(I woke up and still had some things to pack, the Mr.Bean decision I made 2 hours earlier was "I'll deal with it later" and I just threw it all in the car instead.)


The driver of the the shuttle waiting for me looked on in amazement as I tried to make packing decisions on the ground.


"What would Mr. Bean do?" I asked.


Instead of packing, I threw it all into a big pile in the shuttle and hopped in.


This approach worked to make it to the gate as one of the last passengers to board the plane.


But the final Mr.BeanIsm is something I'm most proud of.


I had forgotten to pay for an extra baggage allowance and was carrying a big guitar case with my guitar and flutes in it.


Seeing me carrying my oversized guitar case a young man asked me "Sir, did you pay for that guitar case"


I turned and answered as obliviously as I could fake it... "Do I have to pay for this guitar case?"


"Sir, it's a plane, not a bus. Come with me.", he barked.


The order felt like a sharp shaming stab to my intelligence (a typical Spanish cultural thing) ...enough to infuriate any mortal into a snappy come-back, but I did not care, I was Mr. Bean after all, oblivious.


At the counter, the other staff member was having a near-screaming match with another woman who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.


(The boarding staff of this airline was made up of some of the rudest human beings you'd ever encounter.)


"Sir, put your case against this measuring wall."


He pointed at one of these measuring lines against a wall with a big bold line and text "If it's bigger than this you have to pay."


Just at a glance I knew that my guitar was double the size of the height of the line.


"What would Mr. Bean do?"


I decided to play the fool and pretend I was as stupid as this man thought I was.


I placed the guitar under the measuring stick on an angle against the wall 🤣. (Basically laying it sideways.)


The guy shook his head and fixed the guitar to point out it was indeed over-size, but I could tell he was having a hard time not laughing.


He punched some numbers into his beep-beep machine and printed a ticket "Here you go Sir, you're lucky, normally this would be another 90 Euros."


Why Does Mr. Beanism work?


There's physics behind it.


In the book "Reality Transurfing" author Vadim Zeland goes in-depth into this by outlining the subtle energy dynamics responsible in changing timelines


To put it bluntly: The Universe is a big playful puppy, it's we who forget that.


The more you clamp down and tighten in an unfavorable situation, the more the laws of quantum reality work against you.


There are three ways to remove yourself from un-favourable influences and timelines:


1. Ignore the situation, don't feed it energy.

2. Do something unexpected.

3. Do something comical.


If you study Mr. Beanism closely you will notice that Mr. Bean uses all three of these quantum reality disentanglement principles simultaneously.


1. He is oblivious (thus ignoring 'reality')

2. He is unpredictable

3. His approach is often comical.


The result is that reality bends around him, and will for you too as you embrace these truths.


"Reality exists only where the mind creates a focus."

- Mahayana Buddhism Sutra


If reality only exists where we pay attention, then Mr. Beanism is a smiling pattern interrupt that basically tells the Unvierse: "Hey, I'm opting out of seriousness and into my own world."


It's extremely powerful.


But it's important to know that Mr.Beaning isn't just about playing dumb or being reckless.


It's about following your heart to the max, and assuming that God and the Universe always have your back.


It's about carving out your own path, and knowing that there is always time and always resources to do what your heart tells you to do.


The reason why I was late for the airport is that on a last-minute whim I met a woman so wonderful it was worth altering my plans for.

According to logic, I had to plan and be my organized self, but higher wisdom told me to trade my time for precious moments of connection late into the midnight hours. According to the news we're on the brink of World War 3 and I should be saving all my money to buy land grow my own food and stock up on gold... Mr. Beanism has me going sailing in Greece this week instead to make movies that inspire people to heal and live their fullest lives.


I could go on and deepen these thoughts.


Instead, here's a picture that speaks louder than words.


Nothing is impossible, only what your mind says is so.

There is only one ad I've ever clicked on that changed my life the moment I did it.


It was about 8 years ago and it was a business ad targeted at men, the guy claimed to have a system he'd created to help people ignite their creativity and move through the deepest personal blocks holding them back professionally.


He had a $29 ebook.


I bought the book.


Best $29 I ever spent.


I expected some complex cosmic download.


It was 10 pages long, I read them all right there.


10 life-changing pages.


It was so blind-sighting powerful and obvious that I don't even remember the author's name, but the wisdom went into my bones.


I'll summarize it in 6 words.


"Get off your ass and move!"


The guy went on a ten-page rant that none of your personal or business problems have anything to do with lack of time, or skill, or not knowing the right strategy or what to do.


99% of the time the issue is in your head, you're stuck in your head.


The solution isn't inside of your head, the solution is in a higher state of consciousness, and the quickest way to get there is to prioritize IGNITION and LIGHT YOUR SOUL ON FIRE.


When is the last time you stopped obsessing about your problems, put down the self-help book went into the wilderness and LIVED?


When is the last time you stopped looking for answers and prioritized spending time doing what you absolutely love for no reason what-so-ever?


Get LIT first, and then see what happens.


Right there and then I realized I was being an idiot, and started applying the guidance immediately.


Back then, I was surrounded by nature but hardly spent any time in it.


I quit trying to figure things out and started running up mountains every weekend, going to every camp-fire invitation that I came across, and spending as much time in the elements as possible, moving my body and challenging myself more and more every time.


I bought a sailboat in BC and spent the summer and fall sailing and anchored in the most majestic places I could find to do nothing else but spend time with the wildlife all around me.


All the stuck energy inside of my being began to dissolve.


Clarity came.


I had better ideas.


The right people appeared.


The right information appeared.


The right teachers appeared.


The "problems" I had before became irrelevant or solved themselves.


I created new music.


I ended toxic relationships, I started new ones.


A stopped doing e-commerce and started working as a coach and mentor.


Nature has a way of bringing you into your body, lifting you up, and aligning your frequency to what actually matters, it's the ultimate medicine.


When what doesn't matter falls away, naturally the only thing that remains is what matters.


It doesn't take a lot of energy to focus on what actually matters.


When you act on what actually matters, you move mountains without a lot of effort.


I started to see and embody something that I preach every day now:


If you want to invite something new into your life, be it money, clients, health, love, or a vision, first you have to become a frequency match of it.


Energy first, 3D external results later.


Experience first, then understanding.


There is no way that's going to happen by you sitting on your ass and staying the same.


At first living this way was kind of hard, I realized I was addicted to "figuring things out" in my head.


How could I take a weekend off and go hiking in the woods?


I had too many problems to solve and figure out.


Little by little I figured out that what I was actually terrified of the most was losing control.


That familiar feeling you get when you don't know what to do, you feel alone, afraid, anxious, when your butt tightens and you start searching for answers...


...I would do anything to make that feeling and the uncertainty go away and spend hours trying to figure this out in my head.


Looking back at myself I smile now.


I've learned to make the "unknown" my home.


All those feelings I used to run from...


Adventure and life-experience has taught me to call them my home and embrace them.


Instead of searching for the answers, I head out into the wilderness, I calm my soul, ask deeper questions, and become the answer I've been looking for.


Today one of my mantras is "I prioritize my energetic ignition."


What that means to me is that whenever I'm stuck or energy starts to feel dull, it's a symptom that I'm in my head and need to get into my body.


I move, I go for a run, take a hiking trip, or seek ceremony.


If you're stuck anywhere, it means you're creating the same energetic conditions over and over again.


If the energy doesn't move first, nothing else will move.


If you're asking all the right questions but solutions aren't appearing, it's because you're in the wrong energetic state.


Get off your ass and move, get lit up, light your soul on fire, prioritize that, then the "how" will come into focus.

Just a few moments ago I had the pleasure of receiving a gift of someone smashing my car.


I saw it all happening in slow motion and tried to warn the other driver of my presence with the car horn.


But... cruuunnnch, the sound of metal on metal and glass on the asphalt let me know I was a second too late to warn the person who was reversing at full speed into my car.


Naturally, my first gut reaction was frustration.


It's Sunday, and the last thing I wanted to be doing today with my time was filling out insurance paperwork in Spanish.


On top of that, my mind quickly raced through the mountain of things I still had to do before taking off to Greece... now a trip to an auto body-shop was on that list (and that's not close to where I live)


How could someone not check their rearview mirror?


For a moment I bought into the frustration and the duality.


But then I took a deep breath, and found my alignment.


...I reminded myself of a recent deeper commitment I have in my life: to own my reality and show up as the best human being I can for others, especially in times of need...


... I reminded myself that this moment wasn't about me, but about this other person who is most likely now having a worse day than mine, and if there was anyone who could improve their reality it would be me.


I got out of my car, and noticed the lady coming out of the other car feeling flustered, holding a cigarette in her hand, apologizing and shaking from the shock of her mistake.


I could tell she felt guarded and stressed out and was expecting me to give her grief for her incompetence.


Instead, I looked at her and smiled warmly, I put my hand on her shoulder and said "Don't worry, sh*t happens, what's your name?" while intentionally sending waves of instant and complete forgiveness from my heart.


Alba and I pulled our cars over and did the paper-work thing, I cracked a few jokes as we filled things out,


I had literally just set an intention moments ago to find a good topic to write about that was short, sweet, and powerful for this week's newsletter.


I suddenly realized this was it, it was delivered as a broken bumper and headlight on my AUDI A6 on a Sunday.


I started laughing at myself, the universe always delivers.


Noticing my smile, Alba's dad came out of the car and we shook hands, we all started having a good time together as the blistering hot sun beat down on us.


...just a few human beings crossing paths through fate and circumstance in a fleeting moment that is normally filled with tension and hostility.


The whole thing took no more than 5 minutes, and I made two new friends in town.


I used to think of myself as someone committed to changing the world and making it a better place, and that I will do that through some great achievement or mission.


I am still committed to that, but I have realized that it's through moments like this that one has the greatest impact and that the mission is woven together through these moments and you impact those around you through those moments.


Imagine what a different reality it would have been if I was a reactive and aggressive a-hole in that situation?


Even in times of strife or disagreement we always have a choice to show up in our delusion, or show up as the True self and create a whole new reality.


I believe we create the new earth by the example we set for others through how we show up, there is no other way.


Each moment is a blessing and the people who come into your life are a gift, no matter what circumstances you meet or find them in, treasure them, and treat them the best you can because even those closest to you one day won't be there and no insurance claim in the world will give you even five more minutes with them.
