I’m asked a lot how I manage to get free cars, expensive gifts, and plenty of travel. My answer isn’t a magic trick - it's a simple, repeatable approach I learned from the people who helped me first: I lift others up, freely share what I know, and stay curious about what’s possible.
For me, the real anchor is a Bible verse I’ve reinterpreted to fit modern life: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you.” I swap “kingdom” with consciousness - Kamalayan, as we say in Tagalog. I remind myself to seek divine consciousness first and align with it. When I do, the results feel almost automatic: the opportunities I want - cars, trips, gifts - tend to show up as a natural byproduct.
Why does this work? I believe consciousness creates reality. Consciousness is energy, frequency, and vibration, and it shapes how I experience the world. In my book, Lessons I Never Learned In School, I outline twenty traits of a Kamalayan Learner - qualities I strive to cultivate to stay in alignment with divine consciousness.
Here are the 20 qualities of a Kamalayan Learner, as I see them:
- I have a new vision of a new world.
- I transform continually.
- I am concerned with the inner self.
- I am proactive.
- I am not judgmental.
- I understand the principles of being human and divine.
- I see perfection.
- I inspire others.
- I understand relationships and promote oneness.
- I am passionate.
- I am creative.
- I embrace change.
- I point out the uniqueness in individuals.
- I listen to my inner voice.
- I dream big.
- I serve others.
- I emphasize balance.
- live in the now.
- I am courageous.
- I never stop learning.
In today’s world, so much information is available, and the real challenge is choosing what’s truly useful. Much of what we’re offered isn’t enough or is outdated. New research, discoveries, and theories matter if we want to cope with the rapid changes shaping our lives. Our educational system hasn’t replaced old models quickly enough, and we can’t rely solely on academe to deliver new knowledge. We already have the capacity to learn new things, and it’s time we take charge of that learning for the benefit of many.
This is a NEW CONSCIOUSNESS. We’re in a transitional period, and Kamalayan Learners are stepping up as new leaders who can inspire and energize others to a higher level of consciousness. In this era of big change and uncertainty, there are fresh opportunities and challenges. Only those who are creative and who imagine a new world will flourish. It’s time for this new breed of people - Kamalayan Learners - to share their vision of oneness and map out a future where greatness lives in everyone through thoughtful, purposeful actions.
