Q: As I have found myself becoming more connected with The Way I feel I am beginning to notice how people who are in tune with The Way are not hard to recognize.  I’m not sure how possible this is, but I feel like I am beginning to see the relations between other people and The Way.  I encounter a lot of people who seem to be wayseers, but have not yet awakened to The Way.  Is there any way to aid these future wayseers in finding The Way?  What would be the best approach?

Garret’s Answer:  Thanks for reaching out. With regards to the “10%”… In nature, what is the ideal mutation rate for natural selection to work and evolution to progress? If it were 100%, then devolution would occur – entire populations of organisms would go into chaotic mutation one generation. Even 50% might be much too much. 10-20% mutation rate might be ideal for there to be fundamental stability with each generation, while 10-20% of that population mutates allowing for new …

Q:  I just spent the last few most finally finding myself. I got laid off
and it probably turned out to be the best thing that happened to me because
I finally was able to figure out what was “wrong” with me (ADHD, etc). I did
some traveling, read a lot, and figured out how to my adjust sleep. I did a
few workshops that was very helpful in getting my ups and downs under
control. The problem is, I still have the same problem when it comes to lack
of focus.

I’ve been trying to build websites that would monetize and create a product
that will help people and help sustain myself.  My last job, I got a new boss
that disliked me (prior to him coming on board I was doing fine). I don’t
ever want to be in an abusive position again. Because I was replying on the
income that came in, I didn’t have a choice put to put up with him until he
decided to let me go.

Garret’s Answer: I totally “get” what you’re saying. You are spot on. The best way to help people find the Way is to become a living, breathing expression of the Way. When your thoughts are guided by the Way you will spontaneously say and do the most surprisingly wonderful and miraculous things for people. Simple things that, because they are so perfect, so insightful, so impossibly knowing, will astonish and intrigue whomever you are with. Then through their relationship with …

Q:Garret thanks for your site. I have just looked on the Internet at drd4r for the first time and am excited that my brain makes sense now and the answer to my issue is dopamine. I am not ADHD, I am hypomanic. Was wondering if you could direct me to any articles on the difference between drd4r, and drd4 with C allele for hypomania. I have not read your book yet but after thousands of sleepless nights have to agree that the only way I can control myself living with this bizarre chemical cocktail is to make every moment about love. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

My Answer: I wouldn’t worry much about the DRD4 allele specifics as of yet, because there are some very immediate and powerful psychological and lifestyle extrapolations we’ve already made in the book which are just plain helpful and practical for someone who is hypo-manic. Once you’ve benefited from that “low hanging fruit” then you might find digging deeper into the genetics to be an added benefit.

Q:  Hello Garret, I have endured a learning block my entire life. certain skills (driving) are learned very quickly, where martial arts and music (both are very passionate) are insanely difficult to learn. Is this an ADD thing, or am I dealing with other issues?

My Answer:  The only thing you need to learn is GO WITH YOUR STRENGTHS.  Even for things that don’t come naturally to you – find a way of approaching them that DOES come naturally to you.  It is said it can take 10,000 hours of practice to master a skill – so you might as well enjoy the process while you’re getting there.

Q:  I have a question … does a Wayseer feel alive all of the time when they are on track? Surely they still have days and times where life doesn’t feel that great right?  I don’t want to over idealize then crash back down. Just learning to take better care. I’d love to hear your feedback on this.

My Answer: 

When battling for focus, and your gift is hyperfocus
(or hypomania); you so desperately need a “calling” to cling to,
to make you “sane.”

What is that elusive calling of yours?
How can you know what you are “here” for, when your mind isn’t
even “here” most of the time?

To find your calling you must abandon critical thinking. You
must let go of your conscious self. For your purpose is found in
that part of you beyond words and ideas. Your purpose is divine.…

Q: “Hi Garret, I have ordered your book online, my story in my time is beginning to unfold. I am a high school teacher, a Wayseer and bipolar. My story goes back to when a friend of mine committed suicide. Suicide forced me to look at myself and I came out as a gay man to my friends and family. I was diagnosed manic but fortunately the school of medicine that I took was one of talking therapy, homeopathy, spiritual healers. I see the world in an artistic way. My condition is called Manic Depression sometimes with bouts of elation followed by depression. I have worked hard with therapists to get a grip on bipolar while avoiding the drug lithium. I realize it’s a gift that has to be managed and a curse if you can’t. Have you any advice for bipolar teachers? We are a unique breed as it’s a stressful environment to work in where society and exam systems expect you just to fit in and perform. How would you manage a bipolar …
