Two nights ago I had another wild surfing dream where I was not only surfing waves, but also in all kinds of buildings and stairs. You name it, I was surfing on it. If you read the last post, https://dreamsforpeace.org/2025/09/22/my-surfing-dream-riding-the-way-of-the-cutting-edge/, you will know that surfing is a metaphor for riding the cutting edge of your life, and that the real edge for humanity right now is learning how to relate to other human beings. We are on a wave of new learning that is going to transform everything.

But what happens if you are cutting edge type of person living in an environment of very conservative people who do not want to go out there in the new territory. It can be a scary place especially if the authority figures have dug their heels in about remaining in the past. I have been thrown out of more than one position when I was trying to “surf” in these conditions, but recently I found a key process that has changed everything for me. Here it is. When you go out into the future and see the new things being implemented or achieved, it signifies that the future self already knows how to make it to the goals. It is only your current self that does not. Your current self is incapable of overcoming the conservative leadership or culture, but the spirit of the future self knows what to do. That future self has a voice, and that voice will tell you have to safely navigate the current treacherous waters. Then you can embrace your goals.
