This weeks radio show blog is a powerful one in the sense that it gives you the basic understanding of what it is that makes us tick….  How we perceive our world.  The perception of love is our belief of what we need to do in order to give or receive love, however untrue it is, this is what causes us to operate in the way that we operate.  It is very powerful and can explain why some people seem to easily allow abundance into their lives while others struggle endlessly.  The good news is that you can break free of your perception of love and learn to live differently!  Listen in on the show for more!

Mantras- What do you repeat to yourself to put you in an empowering space

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

This comes from a question in another site where a member was commenting about the power of Mantras and had shared her experience with mantras and the one she used.

I thought about that one and there is one that I use that puts me into a more empowering state but it isn’t your typical mantra from one of your eastern religion.  The mantra that I use is:

It is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is.

I use this phrase when I experience any type of upset during my day.  Repeating this over and over again discharges the emotion that I may be having around the experience.  There almost isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t use this phrase.  In fact, I used it several times today!

Desires and Spirituality

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Many people see spirituality as a sense of denying themselves anything of a physical nature.  I see it as we are here in a physical manifestation and while we are here, we might as well enjoy it.  Our enjoying the experience in this manifestation doesn’t diminish who we are as spiritual beings.  We are all things.  It is OK to have desires.  Desires allow us, to experience this dimension in all of its glory. We live in this world, so worldly pleasures are not ‘wrong’ to experience. If it was ‘wrong’ to experience them, we would be existing in a place where there are no worldly pleasures.

The confusion, in my humble opinion, is when we choose to DEFINE ourselves through our desires instead of EXPRESS ourselves through our desires.  This is where we lose our way because then we make life as originating from outside ourselves instead of inside ourselves.

So the next time you desire something, if it brings you joy, and it is honestly good for you, then by all means, express your beingness by experiencing that desire.  It won’t reduce your spirit, or make you less spiritual.  Life is here to be experienced, so experience away!

The #1 Most Common Goof In Personal Development Is Trying To Get Rid Of Your Ego

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

One consistent and popular theme concerning the Ego is it is
looked upon as bad and something we have to constantly work to
get rid of. I myself fell into constantly berating the ego and
fighting against it. Doing this unknowingly created an on going
and increasing problem for myself. The more I fought against the
ego, the more confused I became, and less confident I felt. If
you have experienced much of the same, let me explain what
happen that changed all that for me.

Somewhere deep inside I was feeling that something was missing
in what I could do to help myself gain more clarity, confidence
and ultimately live my birth right of health, wealth and
happiness. I called out for help. When I asked I received huge
assistance in the form of being able to look at life and what
was happening in my life more unconditionally. I felt fortune
was smiling on me because I came across an understanding of the
Ego that I have never seen elsewhere. It was through a course
that provided insights and a framework for life, in a very
grounded systemic way that allowed me to make giant strides in
my life and move me forward at a pace that I had never
experienced before because I understood cause and effect,
attraction and countless other principles on a much deeper and
simpler level.

By using this material (mentioned at the end of this article),
I was able to integrate the powerful knowledge this course
provided and actually use my Ego, unconditionally and
responsibly to assist me and empower me to easily meet my
goals.

Let me share briefly upon what this material taught and awakened
within me as a level of truth I knew was missing yet didn’t
know where to find it.

We Are Actually Supposed To Have An Ego

We are supposed to have an ego. I just didn’t know how to allow
my Ego to serve me instead of distract me. Our Ego is a part of
us just as our heart and soul are a part of us. Yet this is the
only part of us that is described as “something we need to get
rid of.” It is like someone telling us that we need to get rid
of our left arm, or our lungs. Those are the physical parts of
us that we use to function as a body in this dimension, just as
our Ego as a part of our being, allows us to function in this
dimension. We require our Ego to experience life through our
own personality, viewpoint and our own way of being. The Ego
expresses our preference for lemonade over orange juice, or our
preference for vacations in Hawaii over vacations in London.
Our Ego is what makes life interesting for us, our Ego is what
allows us to express our unique gift throughout the world. It is
the one thing that makes us unique unto ourselves.

Is there any wonder why we have all struggled for years and
years attempting to ‘get rid’ of our Ego? Why would we want to
eliminate the very thing that gives us our own unique flavor?

What ‘Getting Rid of the Ego’ is Confused With

Getting rid of our Ego is usually confused with bringing our Ego
back into balance to be expressed as the Pure Ego. Our Pure Ego
is the ego that lives as our childlike innocence and wonder of
unconditionally discovering the world that we live in. Take for
example, what happened when we learned how to walk. We were in
our Pure Ego when we learned how to walk. When we realized that
walking was a better way to discover the world around us, we
began our own mission – to learn how to walk. So we crawled and
stumbled and took tentative steps and fell, and got back up
again, and fell again, and did it over and over until we had it
down. Each time we developed a deeper understanding of how we
needed to shift our weight, or where we needed to put our foot,
all through trial and error, but each time we saw the
improvement and each time we added something new to our movement
that improved our balance and stability. We didn’t focus on what
we did that didn’t work, we focused on what we did do that
WORKED. We could not have learned how to walk if we were in our
Altered Ego.

Our Altered Ego is the ego that comes from fear and judgment as
opposed to love. It is when our Ego has become out of balance
with Self and sees life conditionally. What would learning how
to walk be like if we were in our Altered Ego? Most of us would
probably still be sitting and crawling. We would first have gone
through a lot of processing about taking action to learn how to
walk or not….Would it be safe? What would my family think?
What if I fall down? Then we would finally take our first
tentative steps, wobble and then fall down. After thoroughly
chastising ourselves for falling and believing we are not good
enough to walk, or not being sure if we should even attempt it.
But we don’t want to give up too soon because we really do want
to learn how to walk. So we would read several self-help
manuals telling us that we are good enough to walk and we can
do it, and we’re the little engine that could. Those of us that
gathered our courage again, would make another attempt, and fall
again would go through another round of “what is wrong with us
and why can’t we get this walking thing right?” Our
self-criticism would be extremely high, and our belief in
ourselves would plummet. We would begin to fall into the
illusion that we just can’t walk and will never be able to, and
perhaps we just weren’t meant to walk and who do we think we are
even thinking that we have the right to walk in the first place?

We are so focused on judging ourselves that we don’t even
realize all of the things that we did that allowed us to stand
for 5 or 10 seconds. Instead, we focused on all of the things
that caused us to fall down.

If we have enough desire, and our will hasn’t been thoroughly
crushed by now, we may go through another round of self-help
books and therapy to build up our confidence level. For those
of us who stay focused on the end goal, we finally manage to
walk. For those of us who keep ourselves mired in the mindset
of what we did wrong and continue to judge ourselves as not
deserving to be able to walk, we never get up off of the floor,
and we keep ourselves in the illusion that walking isn’t what we
were meant to do.

Why Understanding The Pure Ego and Altered Ego Is Important For
Our Personal Development

The difference between learning how to walk on our Altered Ego
vs our Pure Ego is that when we were learning to walk while
being in our Pure Ego, we focused on what we wanted (the ability
to walk), and stayed in the joy of the process (what we did
right, focusing on the progress we were making and having fun
while learning). We still used our Pure Ego, because that is
the part of us that gave us the drive and the yearning to learn
how to walk. That is the part of us that gave us the passion to
persist until we were done, and that is the part of us that
allowed us to experience joy while we were going through our
experience. Consider this… How many toddlers have you seen
screaming in terror, anger, fright, etc. while learning how to
walk? Not many right? Most of the time they have HUGE grins on
their faces that say “Look what I’m doing!” These little tykes
can hardly contain themselves!

When we were learning how to walk while being in our Altered
Ego, we weren’t having much fun. We were making it difficult
for ourselves by over-analyzing everything we were doing and
judging the crap out of ourselves for not getting something
“perfect” in the first attempt. For those of us that managed to
get up off of the ground, we certainly extended the process, and
we certainly were not enjoying the experience. We lost focus of
what we wanted, which was learning how to walk, because we were
so focused on what we were doing wrong and making ourselves
“lesser” because we fell down a couple of times. We can choose
to be in the frame of mind of saying “well that way certainly
didn’t work, but there are all these other ways to experience.”
Or we can be in the frame of mind that says “Boy do I suck! I
can’t do this! I can’t do ANYTHING!” Being in our Altered Ego
completely got in our way of achieving what we wanted….
learning how to walk.

We do require an Ego to be in the joy of living in this world,
however it is OUR choice as to HOW we want to live in this
world. We can use the Ego to support what we want in our lives,
or to hinder what we want in our lives. We can learn how to
incorporate the Ego into our lives through material such as The
Choice Is Mine which teaches us how to be unconditional with
ourselves so we can experience abundance and ease in our lives
more quickly. This lifetime companion allows us to move at our
own pace while we are living our day to day lives.

==============================
Do you struggle with creating the life of your dreams? Do you
wonder why those “Law of Attraction” books don’t work for you, but seem
to work for everyone else? You don’t have to continue to struggle and
feel left behind, because the answer is simple once you have this
powerful understanding. Find out more today and take your first step
toward having a life of ease and abundance.

The Missing Piece To Attracting What You Want

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

[tags]personal development, self improvement,  abundance, law of attraction[/tags]

The missing piece to attracting what you want in your life is the understanding that we live in a physical world and that requires physical action – or doing.  When we receive an ah-ha, or an insight, what do we do with that?  Do we just think about it?  Do we process it over and over again?  Or do we DO something about it?  What action do we take with that ah-ha or insight that we have?  What do we begin doing differently at that moment?

One way to approach it is to accept what it is you have done up to this point has given you what you currently have.   Don’t judge yourself for it.  Stand in the unconditional responsibility that you are receiving exactly what you want, whether it is conscious or not.  If it is NOT what you consciously want, determine what you are getting out of the situation and once you understand that piece, you can choose differently.  When you choose differently, you do differently.

It is in the doing that gives us what we want, but we can’t get that until we know what it is that we need to do differently.  We can’t know what to do differently until we understand what it is that we are getting out of the current situation we are in.  Ask yourself the questions and allow your intuition to give you the answers.  Don’t judge the answers you get, and then decide if you really want change in your life or you are actually satisfied with what you are receiving from your current situation.  Whatever you decide, stand in the knowing that this is what you have created for yourself, and accept the responsibility of what you have created.   The choice is then yours.

In this radio podcast, we discuss the answer to the question:

I have read all of the books, listened to all the gurus and done all of the affirmations and incantations in the world and I have only experienced small changes in my life, not the quantum leap I was  looking for.  I don’t feel like I am blocking myself, but I must be blocking myself because there is really no other reason… The question is, How do I go about finding out why I can’t attract my desired life?

This is a very eye opening answer and one that will get you thinking differently.

What Do You Passion, and How Does that Affect the Law Of Attraction?

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

In last night’s teleseminar, we had a question that basically said “what is keeping me from having what I want even though I am doing all of the things the books tell me to do, such as affirmations, positive thoughts, etc.?”

That is was a powerful question for me because I have myself wanted to achieve something and went through all of the  usual “excercises” and I didn’t receive anything that I had “written down”.  So I knew something else was at work, I just didn’t know what it was.

The call went over a few concepts that keep us from having what we want that were very powerful.  The first one was to look at what you currently have.  If you are currently getting something out of the situation and you have what you want, then your subconscious mind doesn’t support you because it sees you as already having what you ask for.  We are always living our highest priority subconsciously, so if we have obtained a goal, then it is up to us to change that goal at our subconscious level so we can allow our subconscious to work for us.

[tags]law of attraction, abundance, teleseminar, personal development[/tags]

Another concept that we discussed that could keep us from having what we want was “do we passion what it is that we want?”  Is emotion involved or is it purely an intellectual exercise?  You cannot create on intellectual thought alone, it must be fueled by passion.  Passion is the ingredient that brings our dreams to life, and it is the gateway to opening ourselves up to live our lives in joy as we experience our journey in each and every moment.  It is the journey that is the key to receiving what we want, not the waiting for the end result.

There was much more that was said, this is just a recap…

Maybe we’ll catch you on the next call!

Personal Growth and Life Lessons

[tags]personal growth[/tags]

Our own personal growth process is really a case of remembering what we have forgotten.  We have convinced ourselves that this process is really about learning from experiences we have in our lives, that we call  ‘life lessons’.  These ‘life lessons’ are really experiences that help us to remember what we already ‘know’.  The more we allow ourselves to remember what we already know, the less we will have the need to create these ‘life lessons’.   Listen to this radio show that goes into much more detail.

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

You are in for a special treat on Tuesday May 13th!

We will be covering the distinction between being your True Self and the responsibility of that True Self. How many times have we said to ourselves “if only I didn’t have to do THIS, I would be doing THAT”, or “If I could do it all over again, I would really be doing what I love, which is …..”? In this teleseminar, we will be discussing how actually living true to who you are can open up doors and move beyond existing through ‘fear’ and living through ‘love’.

Join us this Tuesday at 8:00pm Eastern Time on the teleseminar where you will find out how we can live the life of our dreams by creating what we know and love, instead of what we think we should do out of any imagined obligation.

Do you have a specific question about how to move into living your true self, or how your living your true self can open you up to life’s abundance?

You can ask your questions when you register and it may be answered during the teleseminar. There will be a few lucky individuals who will get their questions answered during this live event.

Submit your question and register for this powerful personal transformation seminar .

True Inner Intent Always Equals Outcome – Personal Responsibility

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

This key is important in assisting you to become unconditionally responsible with your life. If there is something you are not liking in your life, and you consistently claim that you don’t want it and are doing all you can to change it, well, if whatever it is is still occurring, then there is some belief inside of you that has created this situation for you to experience, for whatever reason. A good example is when someone says they hate their current living conditions and the constant struggle for money in their lives. When you look at this situation unconditionally and responsibly, then you could say that there is a reason that this person is living in constant struggle for money in their lives. It is because for some reason, that is their highest priority to experience struggle in their lives. It doesn’t make it right or wrong, it just is what it is. When that individual realizes that they are just experiencing their highest priority, and not judging their highest priority (such as calling themselves stupid, or worthless, etc.), they can then make the decision to do something different because they are now conscious of what they are doing and are willing to do something about it.

Another important thing to remember is to not judge your current situation, but accept it as perfect in the moment and know that all things are temporary (this too shall pass). In judgment, you cannot move into a new way of being because your judgment locks you into your current state of being. Be in the joy of now and set yourself free.
