Charlie Morley is a lucid dreaming teacher and author who helps people wake up in their dreams & harness the power of sleep for psychological growth.

Lucid dreaming is something I’ve done by accident a handful of times.

I wanted to have Charlie on the show to understand how lucid dreams work and can be used to improve your everyday life and support spiritual development.

I was also interested learning about dream yoga and other dream oriented spiritual practices.

I love experiencing magic and pushing the boundaries for what’s possible.

It makes life more fun and interesting.

One of the ways this shows up is noticing extraordinary phenomena. These can be everything from unexplained synchronicities to directly experiencing extra sensory perceptions (ESP).

Most people write these off, chalking them up to random coincidence or flukes.

But some people get curious.

They wonder if they can recreate that experience in some way. So they start experimenting and exploring new things.

This gradually refines their understanding of what’s possible and results in new approaches to creating positive results in their life.

Today’s guest Cyan Banister brings this type of curiosity and experimentation to exploring consciousness and human potential.

Cyan is one of the most prolific early stage investors of our time having invested in SpaceX, Uber, Postmates amongst many others. She was the first female partner at Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and now is a partner at Long Journey Ventures.

I was interested in Cyan on the show to understand how her consciousness journey has shaped her approach to her career and life.

Abundance is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but it seems like everyone has a different idea of what it means.

For a lot of people, it means money.

Money is seen as a proxy for other things like time, freedom, and contribution.

I once held this view and now believe it’s a very incomplete perspective.

I was excited to have my friend Sean Clayton to talk about abundance because he has one of the more unique perspectives I’ve come across. Sean is a serial entrepreneur. He is the founder of Myosin and Myosin XYZ, as well the Science of Abundance which teaches people how to integrate ancient wisdom and spirituality to create an abundant life.

Instead of money, Sean views abundance as the energy that creates all things.

To live an abundant life, you can become aware of how this energy works and its fundamental laws.

Through working with and aligning to these laws, you can create an abundant life. When you go against them, you simply cycle through repeated patterns that don’t represent the natural way of things which makes life more difficult.

A big influence on Sean’s perspective is the 7 Hermetic principles. These principles attempt to explain the nature of reality, consciousness, and the universe.

A lot of people think consciousness work is just a way to feel better.

With this perspective, the connection between inner work and external results is tenuous. Maybe having a better temperament will make you a better leader or manager and more easily able to avoid burnout, but that’s about it.

This is an incredibly limited perspective that misses the big picture.

Until you work on your consciousness, you’re mostly just operating life through a set of inherited patterns you didn’t choose.

This would be fine if they were all helpful, but most people’s unconscious patterns are oriented around avoiding harm and using the external world to get love.

So they perceive the world through the narrow lens of their patterns which direct all their activities.

This is why entrepreneurs raise money before they should, stay in businesses they don’t care about, and pursue opportunities that aren’t actually aligned with the needs of the business.

I was thrilled to meet another entrepreneur who sees this clearly and recognizes the challenges this can create in our current version of capitalism.

Dave Hersh is serial entrepreneur, founding CEO of Jive (NASD: JIVE), partner at Metamorph Partners, and author of the new book Reignition.

In this conversation, we discuss how inner transformation can change the trajectory of your career and company.
