+ZERO
It is a word to describe what my teacher taught me about being zero. There is great power in bringing yourself to a zero state.
It is about emptying the container that holds your spirit so that the power and majesty of life can rush in and fill you up with infinite bliss.
Sometimes to begin you need to be able to ignore things that you don’t need. Things that are unnecessary. And set them aside. As you do this, you start to see the bad parts of your own self. And you have to be able to toss those things aside as well.
Because if you have one bad part of yourself still within you, everything will collapse later. So part of what the journey is, what life is… is discovering the bad parts of yourself and tossing them aside.
Let's start.
Is your life out of control? Do you have a decision to make by yesterday or it will be made for you? Are people starting to betray you or did you turn your back on them first? Has life kicked your ass again?
In this moment of crisis, can you survive? Even more, can you use it to grow? This +Zero state I describe below will take you through crisis to a more powerful you that will thrive. It's not self-help. It's connecting to the infinite. You can use the steps in any order and enter the process where you need it.
But first, here is a story about a crisis moment from my own life:
I couldn't cash a seven dollar check. I laughed with a pain in my voice because that was all that's left. After a year spent losing my marriage, my house, my car, and my sanity all I wanted was to cash that check.
I had earned that check doing a survey. I was unemployed, 2 weeks into a new city and I had no bank account. I wanted to buy groceries and I opened up my mailbox to find this check for $7.48. Yay! Food today. No problem, I'll walk three miles to the check cashing center and then stop at the grocery store on the way back.

“I don't believe in being interested in something because it is said to be important, I believe in being caught by it somehow.”
Joseph Campbell
The check cashing center had a "service fee" of $4.35 to cash a check. Huh?! I couldn't bear to pay that fee. It was like my final stand. I had to draw a line. I walked out and walked the much
longer walk home with my bitter seven dollar piece of paper that was only good for a laugh.
