“ IDENTIFYONE ACTIVITY OF YOUR FUTURESELF THAT YOU CANREPLICATE NOW ” information back to your present self . Whatever resources you may need , whatever information that will help you overcome your current problems . It ’ s okay if you don ’ t know what it is [ yet ] – just trust that your Creative Unconscious will bring you the solutions to the problems you are facing .
