Eureka! I’ve Got It!
Eureka! I've Got It!
The foundation of an effortless life is knowing that you are made of the energy of all things. At a fundamental level. This is often called fundamental well-being. We are fundamentally well. Until we use the power of creation, often called thought, and think our way into unwellness.
A major part of our amazing design as humans is the ability to have insights.
Not so much the content of any given insight but the fact of them. The how it works of them.
Humans have insights in which we see from within. We have the capacity to randomly stand in the centre of ourselves, our inner core, and see the world or a situation from there. We recognize what's not true. A sudden expansion and clarity occur.
Insight is often called "a sight within", meaning that all of a sudden, we look within. And it can feel that way. I wonder, though, and it more often feels to me that we are standing in our power and looking out. Then, in that moment, the whole world looks completely different because of where we are looking from. The direction is from within to out. Whatever in and out mean in this context.
Just now, as I'm writing, I did a quick and dirty Internet search for "sight from within". On a surface look, most writers are using this phrase or similar ones to talk about looking within. Looking for answers to the space within each of us that is the energy of all things. But the limitation here is that the direction seems to be pointing to a standing "out" and looking "in" for guidance and wisdom.
I didn't see anything (and remember it was a surface dive) speaking about sight from within outwards. The answers or insight, per se, the content, doesn't come from without. That comes from our power within, like a constant stream feeding us. But the direction we are seeing seems to be out from within.
It's like (and may be literally true) we are periodically dumped back into our natural default position and state of pure aliveness, pure consciousness, and it feels expansive, calm, and amazingly peaceful. In that moment of coming home, we realize we never left. We are the aliveness itself. We also might then happen to look out at what we thought to be true about our lives or "the world" and realize it was never really like that. And we say something like "OMG! I had it all wrong. It's actually this other easier way!" or "Eureka! I've got it!".
We get distracted by the content or the amazing feeling, and seem to miss that this phenomenon happens to every human being every now and then. Whether we try for it or not. It's inevitable.
I find that immensely calming and comforting. I can't go that wrong. If I recognize where the "gold" is and know that, regardless, I'll end up there eventually, then I'm golden.
This week, I have the privilege of speaking at The Listening World Summit 2026: Listening That Connects on Saturday afternoon, May 23. My talk is Listen Yourself Alive. It's about this sort of thing that I write about and how just by deeply listening to ourselves and others, the world changes.
The online stream is available for free because we want as many people around the world as possible to know the deep power of simply listening.
I hope you will join us. :)
With Love,
Sara Joy
