Changing the Past

June 7, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl Leave a Comment

The future always follows the past.

In the present moment the past is constantly being created by the imagination.

The reality of time is that time is a construct.

There’s no future or past in the absolute sense. All that exists is the present moment. The illusion of time is part of life in the physical plane.

The illusion still has to be worked with, for all intent and purpose time is real and needs to be treated as real.

This is true even though in the most fundamental sense time is not real.

We move through our life in a continuous line from the past to the future.

It’s you who creates the past and the future with each present moment thought that occurs.

The way manifestation works is that the future by default will repeat the past.

Your present moment is your only point of power because there’s truly nothing outside the present.

This means that if you use the power of your imagination to create your ideal past, and not just your ideal future, the momentum in your timeline will change.

Changing the past can happen when a transgression is forgiven, and lessons are learned. Upon learning a lesson, a similar painful experience will no longer be necessary.

Hopefully you only need to make a mistake once. Sometimes people have to repeat the same mistakes over and over again till change occurs.

One way to change the past could be imagining yourself relating to a past event differently than you related to it back then.

Let’s say you had a breakup and your confidence and mood is shaken, and you feel a sense of unfinished business from the past.

You have the ability in your mind to imagine an alternate past where business was finished and the relationship went how it was supposed to go. This changes your present moment because the momentum of the past has been changed.

You are creating the past by recalling it.

Therefore consciously choosing to recall the past where your preferred outcome happened is going to impact the future for the better.

Your future comes from the past, and the past comes from the present.

The future can’t be manifested when you imagine a goal in the future tense.

This is because the future never actually arrives.

When manifesting, you want to imagine the goal in the present tense.

The past and future events involved are taken care of by the universe at this point.

The entire timeline can be shifted when you hold your intention. Making peace with the past allows you to have more inner peace in the present and the future.

Your work is to either remember the past differently or find the hidden gift in the prior event.

Trauma is something that can affect the future. This is because traumas seek to create similar events.

We repeat the emotions we have learned to memorize.

By default we will live the life we have memorized.

If the life you have memorized is not the life you actually want, you need to recontextualize the memories that are holding you back.

I have traumas in my life, but I always ask myself, “how did this event work for me?”

Seeing everything in your past as something that was meant to help you is not a delusion if you can truly embody that mindset.

Delusion is the act of lying to yourself, but if you can take a lie and make it true, you aren’t a liar. You are actually a metaphysical alchemist.

When you change your present moment frequency by altering your relationship with the past, you are also gaining access to your best memories.

Emotion dictates what the thinking mind actually has access to.

Memory is tied to emotion. Since memory and emotion go hand in hand, and we repeat the emotions we have learned to memorize, changing the emotional meaning of a memory is in essence changing the past.

Once the past is changed, the present will change in subtle ways.

You will notice that as you move forward in time, your present situation (and state of being) is changing for the better.

Now you have psychological momentum.

The emotions you are memorizing are actually getting better, and now the future repeating the new past is repeating something closer to what you want.

Getting to a better emotional state is a form of shifting your timeline.

When one part changes, the whole timeline changes.

Because I have an emotional connection with my best memories, I’m also remembering my difficult memories in a joyful way.

I see the lessons and the blessings. Everything in my life has worked for me so far, therefore I anticipate the future will be no different.

Changing the past is the key to changing beliefs.

When beliefs change, emotion and action changes.

So less thinking in the future tense, and more attention to the present is the key.

When you truly gain alignment and hold onto a positive state, you’ll realize your best life is here and was meant to be all along!

To your success,

The Power of Polarity

May 19, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

I have considered the power of polarity for a number of years now.

The concept was shown to me when I read Steve Pavlina’s blog many years ago. The concept talks about using energetic flow in a polarized direction by deciding to become 100% dedicated to service to self or service to others. But not both at the same time.

There are two polarities, light-working or dark-working.

Light-working is the idea that you dedicate your life to serving the greater good.

Dark-working is the idea that you dedicate your life to serving yourself.

Most people are somewhere in the middle, and this is why they have mixed results.

The common person hasn’t made a decision to be a light-worker or a dark-worker.

When you choose one polarity, your motivation will skyrocket.

You’ll become a more congruent person. Your intentions may be the same either way, but your energy will flow better because a polarized person has one direction of energetic flow. The flow is either love energy (giving) or fear energy (taking).

Choosing the light-worker path means that your life now becomes about service to others.

Your mission is to make the greater good better off.

I have leaned more towards the light-worker polarity. The goal of serving all helped me become a better Army Cadet because my efforts were about making my unit better off.

I still wanted individual success, but this was for the purpose of being able to make a larger contribution.

Light-working doesn’t mean you neglect yourself, in fact you have to take care of yourself more so you have more to give.

Consider that you have to be more selfish to make a larger contribution to humanity.

More money allows you to be more generous. It also allows you to reward yourself for the contributions you make to humanity.

Dark-workers will also eventually know that the best way to serve self-interest is to be service oriented.

To have money and success it takes contribution to the market.

A dark-worker may have an easier time using marketing to manipulate potential customers. The light-worker may feel like it eats away at their conscience to practice marketing.

The work here in business is about integration, if you truly create a great product that helps others, you’ll want to do marketing.

The thing that held me back with marketing was the idea that I didn’t want to be too intrusive.

As someone who’s beginning to embrace light-working I have to consider that my efforts to market are still benefitting others. So I would actually be screwing people over if I didn’t make efforts to market.

Being a dark-worker would be all about personal gain. A dark-worker would actually try to extract as much profit as possible from a business. The light-worker would be focused on service.

The real work is to polarize, but to use the opposite polarity when it makes sense to do so.

The work of integration between service to self and service to others is a part of this process.

The dark-worker learns to think about the greater good to get more success. The light-worker thinks about how to get fair value for their contributions.

If I want to make more money so I can ultimately be more generous, this is a good reason to be selfish and selfless at the same time.

Using polarity to think about the good of all means that you yourself are part of the greater good. Also worth noting that a dark-worker can make a greater contribution to mankind because they are fulfilling a greater role in the game of life.

Choosing a polarity is something that will occur gradually.

You might be drawn to being a Jedi or a Sith.

When you take the light-working polarity to the extreme, it will seem like you are self-sacrificing.

Only at lower levels of consciousness will it feel like a difficult decision.

At lower levels of consciousness you are wrestling between your self-interest, and your conscience. At higher levels of consciousness you will be able to see that each polarity is actually two sides of the same coin.

As you have a higher level of consciousness, you’ll find your actions would be similar regardless of what polarity you picked.

Contribution requires selfishness, and meeting your self-interest requires contribution.

So being a highly conscious dark-worker won’t make you evil. It will allow you more freedom from your conscience to execute positive decisions for yourself. A light-worker will be able to focus on themselves so they have more to give.

The reasons for your actions will have a great difference if you choose to pick a polarity of service to self or service to others.

You will find your actions may be the exact same regardless of why they motivate you.

Motivation will be endless if you decide to pick one polarity.

I’m not polarized yet but I’m leaning more into the polarity of contribution and I’m also able to now practice the more selfish aspect of light-work which is allowing yourself to get value for the value I’m giving.

To your success,

Angus

The Relationship Between Luck and Meditation

May 16, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

I have been exceedingly lucky in my life. When I think the chips are down and everything is going to fall apart, there’s always something to bail me out. Alanis Morrisette in her song “ironic” says that life has a funny funny way of helping you out.

I remember in early 2018, I was doing hour long meditations for multiple days in a row. This put me in a flow state and the universe was basically giving me everything I wanted. I had 200 dollars to my name but I was in a peaceful state. In the car with my friend we were laughing our way to the casino, but it was as if we were laughing to the bank like we actually won. I hadn’t set foot in the building for a good 3 months before we finally went. I didn’t just go in thinking or believing I would win, I knew I would win. With the meditation I was doing, I was going longer than ever before. I really pushed myself to make the meditations as long as possible. I would leave the meditation feeling relaxed and optimistic.

When we got to the casino I gave my friend 100 of the 200 to try and win with. We made some money on slots early on, then went to war. The dealer would continuously flip 3’s and 2’s and the whole table was winning. Eventually we had about 700 in front us, I took the 700 to cash out and took my 200 back then split all the profits. We went to pick someone else up and came back for more at the casino. I declared my intent to leave that night with $1200.

Because I had all this good karma built up, I felt I was redeeming my good karma that I got in part from the meditation. I expected to win, so I put a hundred dollar bet on three different bets. I won all three of them and with the 600 in front of me, I eventually left the casino that night with almost 3000 dollars. My friend who got in the game because I gave him 100 left with about 1200 dollars. He went to work the next day and bought his coworkers lunch in exchange for them having to do all the work.

The relationship with meditation and luck is simple. Luck is a result of having a connection to your space. Positive assumptions and certainties are going to make you luckier. You also have more courage in this state and gamblers would win more by using larger bets. Meditation connects you with the present moment and allows you to get more positive energy. Meditation also clears up your mind and makes your intuition sharper. Doing an hour a day of meditation will allow you to be more at one with the present moment.

To your success,

Angus

Lucid Dreams and Manifestation

May 13, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

I haven’t had too many lucid dreams, usually I get excited about the lucidity and the dream quickly ends.

Lucid dreaming is something I want to learn to do often.

I see life itself as having many qualities of a lucid dream. The difference is the time, the space, and the consequences of decisions. A 15 minute dream is a free for all because there are no long term ramifications for actions. In real life this dream can turn into a mess because our decisions have lasting impact.

You can reach a lucid state while awake in human form while on Earth.

Your sense of reality when lucid will start to break down.

In 2011, I was very much interested in the paranormal, life after death and enlightenment.

This caused me to question existence.

Carl Jung coined the term “synchronicity” many years ago while doing therapy with a patient. The patient was doing regression therapy and was describing a golden beetle and in the exact same moment, a golden beetle landed on the window of the office.

I experienced many synchronicities around 2011-2013.

The first wake up call from the matrix I got was a Sens game (on the same day I was at my grandfathers funeral). When I got home the Sens were playing the LA Kings and Alex Kovalev scored his 1000th NHL point at the 10:00 mark of the first period.

The clock saying 1000 when he reached that milestone forever changed my outlook on the matrix.

The prior summer I watched the movie inception, the movie made me question reality.

The difference between a dream and something that’s real is a distinction that we imagine. Imagination is everything.

Later on I tried to manifest wins for the Ottawa Senators. On the 71’st Sens game I attended, they lost 7-1. I saw that as another glitch in the matrix. The next week I went to my 72nd Sens game. With the Flyers leading 4-1 with a few minutes left, the matrix took over the game, and the Flyers scored 3 quick goals to lead 7-1 and with 20 seconds left the Sens scored the last goal of the game to lose 7-2.

I was astonished about these coincidences.

So far my thought experiment around the team was rendering evidence that our consciousness has a major impact on what actually manifests. I continued to set intentions to trust the Sens would win. After the 7-2 loss, the Sens won their next 6 games. This further confirmed I had the universe working to manifest my intent.

Life is able to manifest your desires if they are genuine desires.

Whenever my soul truly wanted something, I was always able to get it. 200 Sens games? No problem. Army Cadet Sergeant Major? No problem. Many great poker games with buddies? No problem. Working a job where I get to help people and work in my element? No problem.

The law of attraction can help you manifest as you have already done before.

You are already moving towards your true desires.

The thing that people get wrong about the law of attraction is they think they want things that they really don’t.

Wanting more money is not a real desire because you aren’t linking the desire with anything the money would give you.

If money is a source of peace of mind for you, meaning that’s what it represents, then having peace of mind no matter what money you have or don’t have is the key to manifesting it. If you think money is a source of freedom, you’ll get more money when you exercise the freedom you have now.

To be clear about what your soul truly wants, I suggest you look at what you are doing and what you are fantasising about when you put no effort into controlling your thoughts.

You might want to experience enlightenment so life can feel magical again. So what I’m saying here is you want to manifest states, not physical things. The state will attract the correct physical reflection. So you can have what you want, but it might not literally be the thing you are asking for.

When you first begin to study the law of attraction and set intentions, you’ll get initial signs from the universe.

This is so you know the intention has been heard.

As you go on in life, the coincidences may fade and manifestation might feel more ordinary.

Manifesting a burger can be done for 10 bucks.

Getting a dream house is just as simple, but it might take longer. You will probably manifest the house a long time later and when it does manifest, you’ll be like, “aha I remember this”.

After letting go of an intention it has the ability to manifest. I manifested a dog a few years ago when I forgot that I wanted to be an owner.

To your success,

Angus

Being Kind Actually Gets You Ahead – The Mindset of Service

April 28, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

Nice Guys Don’t Finish Last

The biggest misconception out there is that you have to be ruthless in this dog eat dog world.

Ruthlessness is going to kill your soul.

You are starting from the wrong place if you are striving to outcompete people.

When you are truly kind, you are putting service to other people at the forefront.

I believe so strongly in what I have to offer humanity. If don’t go out there and market my coaching services, I’m actually screwing many people over.

I have many ways I can offer value, and I encourage you to strive to serve other people.

Be a Giver

When you are looking for a date, ask yourself what you bring to the table.

Stop being so selfish.

You might want sex or intimacy, but you need to actually offer value.

If you are reading my work chances are you’re smart, and you are also probably very nice.

Kindness is something that many men are getting away from because the red-pill advice out there is telling you to be an asshole. You need to understand that this kind of game only works if that’s your true self.

It’s Never About You

To be valuable stop thinking about just yourself.

Offer solutions to other people’s challenges.

Think beyond what you want from life, if you want money you will get plenty of it. As long as you focus on contribution.

Too many people out there are operating from a takers mentality.

If you just take without giving, people won’t like you. It’s hard to get business when you are only thinking about yourself.

Service to All

Focus on service being your dominant polarity.

I read an article from Steve Pavlina many years ago about love and fear polarization.

The dominant polarity needs to be maximized to be successful.

Lightworkers (love based) define success in terms of how they serve others.

Hell is what you get when you only think about yourself.

Takers are in a perpetual state of hell because they are too self-centered to think about other people.

Heaven is not some higher dimension. It’s a state of being that you have when you are so focused on helping other people.

I have a strong desire to help other people. I work in the mental health field and I offer coaching to people looking to improve their mindset. I often don’t take a potential clients business because I feel like they may not benefit as much as I want them to.

When you sell a service, you want your client to get 10 times the value you are charging them.

Focus on return on investment for your client. If you can’t get someone to where they want to be, then don’t take their business.

The best thing about being a giver is you drop your small self.

You step into your life purpose, and your motivation skyrockets.

You actually get more by being a giver. You can take time to enjoy yourself and recharge so you can further help others.

My Story

In Army Cadets I reached the rank of Chief Warrant Officer because I cared more about service than actually getting to that rank.

I served my unit for 6 years before I got that position, and I never ran out of motivation.

I was so focused on making those around me better that I eventually got all the accolades without even trying.

I was a team player who was focused on being extremely valuable.

At the end of 2012, I retired and other cadets missed seeing me every week.

I was so focused on giving that the success I enjoyed was just a byproduct of my giving.

As a hockey player I was always focused on team success and not my own personal accomplishments.

You will get far more when you focus solely on giving.

Don’t fear that it won’t be reciprocated by the universe.

The universe wants to help people who are serving the highest good of all. Don’t deprive the world of your gifts and talents. The world needs you to help others.

To your success,

Angus
