Happy New Year!

Happy New Year (almost)!  It’s the perfect time for you to reinvent yourself to be more of the person you want to be.  It’s the perfect time to leave limiting beliefs in the past and move boldly forward into a more joyful and fulfilling adventure.

You may say how can things change?  I’m stuck in a not so perfect reality.  I try so hard and still never seem to make any lasting progress.  I don’t know if I deserve any better – I’m just not that great a person.  Life is a struggle and that’s just the way it is!

If you identify with any of these feelings, I want you to know that you are wrong.  You are a magnificent creature blessed with creative power.  If you are not accepting the truth of that statement, it is because you are telling yourself the wrong stories.  You are playing the part of the victim floating about on the unpredictable seas of life. 

In truth, your spirit has inhabited a physical body for an adventure.  Your mission is to stoke the flames of love and joy within you so that you may radiate this energy outward and be a blessing to everything you come into contact with. You have brought with you knowledge and talents that will serve you well in your mission as you discover them.  The key is to follow your joy and love – your powerful mind is the bio-computer analyzing, evaluating and handling the routine functions of life but it is your heart that is the guidance system.   If you listen to the feelings of your heart, you will stay on track to fulfilling your true destiny as a creator of an ever changing reality.

It’s all about belief.  If you think all of the above is a load of bull then, sadly, for you that will be the case – it’s your choice.  Maybe you say I would like to believe it but it just sounds too much like a fairy tale.  Are you willing to give it a try though?  Working at being happy all the time and optimistic and loving all of the beautiful and wondrous things in the world certainly can’t be a bad thing right?  Accepting a mission of leaving the planet a better place when your role in the adventure comes to an end certainly is a noble quest, correct?

So, what should you do?  First accept that this is the first day of the rest of your life and nothing that came before matters – good or bad, it will fade into the mists of faded memory as long as you let it go – letting it go is essential to accomplishing your mission.  NOW is all you have to wield your power.  The beliefs and intentions you have in each new moment will shape your destiny and you can change course any time you want to… just let your hopes and your heart be your guide.  And so again, wishes for a Happy New Year – let’s make it our best year yet!

Just Have Fun!

All is well, and you will never get it done. Life is supposed to be fun. No one is taking score of any kind, and if you will stop taking score so much, you will feel a whole lot better — and as you feel a whole lot better, more of the things that you want right now will flow to you.

You will never be in a place where all of the things that you are wanting will be satisfied right now, or then you could be complete — and you never can be.

This incomplete place that you stand is the best place that you could be. You are right on track, right on schedule. Everything is unfolding perfectly. All is really well. Have fun. Have fun. Have fun!

---Abraham

PositiVibes

You're always getting a perfect vibrational match to what you predominantly give your attention to. But you've got to make the best of it. You've got to vibrate slightly different from where you are if you are going to improve where you are. You can't keep taking score of where your business is or your relationship is or your body is without continuing to create it as it is. To make improvement, you've got to reach for a different thought.

When you withdraw your attention from those things that are not pleasing, and you put your attention upon those things that are pleasing, those pleasing things begin to become more abundant; and those not-pleasing things become more rare. Until, eventually, those not-pleasing things cannot be part of your experience because you will have eliminated your attraction factor from your vibration... What you think and what you get always matches.

---Abraham

If you spend all your time being grateful, you will get more and more to be grateful for.

Thanksgiving Puts You On The Road to Success  

                                                                By John Brodie

November includes my favorite holiday – Thanksgiving!  Why is it a favorite?  Because taking some time to focus on thanksgiving – assessing all of the things you have to be grateful for- is a wonderful way to build your confidence and optimism and success.

Most of you have probably realized by now that if you focus most of your time on things that are not going as you want them to in your life, it can be depressing.  If you allow yourself to get depressed, that can sap all of your energy – particularly your creative energy.  Depression breeds deeper depression – it is a self fulfilling prophecy.  Pretty soon you start thinking you are a victim and that you have no control over the lousy hand of cards life has dealt you. That of course just brings you more of the same and things will continue to get worse or seem worse even if they are not.

So, how do you get out of this spiral of not having a good time?  You need a change of Mind!  That’s where THANKSGIVING comes in.  It’s about changing your attitude and breaking a non-productive cycle.  If you take the time to focus on things you are thankful for it will chip away at any feeling of depression or hopelessness.  The more you focus on the things you are thankful for the better you will feel. 

Everyone can be thankful for a sunny day, a good friend, a good meal… take some time to find a bunch of things you can be thankful for and spend some time – ideally at the start of your day and as often through the day as possible – feeling good about those things.  As you are working on projects or handling your daily responsibilities, take the time to be thankful for each success along the way.  When you pay a bill say to yourself, “I’m glad I got that paid”. 

Here’s the thing – the more you can stay focused on “feeling good” instead of “feeling bad” the more energy you will have to keep things going the way you want them to go.  There is a great song by Bob Marley called “Three Little Birds” – it has a great message:  “Rise up this mornin', Smiled with the risin' sun, Three little birds pitch by my doorstep… Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true, Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"  Listen to the song.  Just singing it to yourself can help you get that “thanksgiving” feeling going.

If you want to get the most out of life and “Be Happy” (another very useful song by Bobby McFerrin) catch yourself every time you start feeling sorry for yourself and find some things you are thankful for to think about.  

Taking time to pay attention to every little success or good thing in your day will propel you to days filled with positive accomplishments and joy.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Law of Attraction says, "That which is like unto itself is drawn." Which means vibrations are always matched. So as you experience the contrast which inspires the new idea within you, this new idea —this desire — whether it is a strong one or a soft one, is summoning unto itself proportionately. And as it summons, it is always answered. It is the basis of our Universe: When it is asked, it is always given. The confusion that humans feel is that they think they are asking with their words — or even with their action — and sometimes you are. But the Universe is not responding to your words or your action. The Universe is responding to your vibrational calling.

---Abraham

Who am I?

I am starting to make some distinctions about who I am.  The me that is always talking in my head is who I think I am.  The trouble with that is that "me" is just a construction the Spirit unbounded I am has put in charge of this body that I am adventuring in.  This local me functions on this world stage based on beliefs I it has created based on appearances and ideas from other entities that have been interacted with.

The trouble with all of those beliefs is that they are mostly about limitation and seperateness.  Everything has a label (name).  Things happen to me.  And all day and night long, that ME voice keeps defining and judging and reacting to what it has decided is real.  The problem again is that the reality the me is believing in is only real because of the belief.  Change the beliefs and you change reality.

That is not easy though because me believes everything that it believes and each belief continuously reinforces itself by generating evidence of its truth and reality.  They are all self fulfilling prophesies as like attracts like through the Law of Attraction.  So, if you can change the way you think about things, you will change your life experience.  This is not easy because me has invested a great deal of big brain thinking power to decide what reality is and as a very material world entity, me has a hard time thinking anything that can't be seen and touched - experienced directly by the senses - is real.

Luckily there is one sense that can cut through the illusions - the creations of me.  That sense is emotion.  Emotion is the sixth sense.  It is like a guidance system.  Moving in the direction of and believing in any way can be evaluated by how good or bad it feels.  Those feelings are provided by the Real BIG I Am that has me playing this virtual reality game and often believing me is out here all on my own fighting for survival.  I am actually supposed to be working to move the shared belief in what reality is to a happier more wonderful place and inspire as many others as I have the opportunity to join me in positively advancing creation.

Another reason this is often such a big challenge is that me believes you can't get anything without effort.  Effort implies resistance and that is what makes it different than action.  Belief in resistance is ME's biggest blunder.  It's the big obstacle built into the game.  I guess that means it is important and necessary.  It is a factor that if we can learn or remember how the game really works - we are here as creators given the ability to create what ever we believe we can create - we stop believing that life is a struggle, that we have to fight our way ahead.  That's why the best definition of Enlightenment is the realization that resistance is an illusion.

I think me has to ponder on that a bit...

A Life Adventure - Introduction

This is the story of a Life Adventure that is unfolding as I write these words – you are in the midst of creating your own story as you read this and new chapters are being written each day by both of us.  Whether you recognize it or not, you are writing a unique story right now and this story and yours are intertwined in an elaborate tapestry of creativity.  It is hard to always be clear on why we are here and it is very easy to get off course.  There are no accidents... nothing actually happens by chance.  You are doing it all... we are connected in the real reality and we are out here on the cutting edge of creation trying to become really good players at this game we have chosen to play. 

Why are we here?  For an adventure.  It’s like why you – in this 4D reality - play a video game or get involved in any new adventure… it’s for the fun and excitement.  This is a challenge.  We are each powerful creators and we are actively building on all the creation that has proceeded us, attempting to move it forward… attempting to add new energy and excitement, joy and fun to the collective adventure.  Not everyone is here for that of course – some of us are here to challenge and test the rest of us – the bad guys and bully’s are important to us if we are to build our strength and skill as guardians and builders and caretakers of the Universe.

So, nice to meet you – we share a great adventure, a heroic quest of vanquishing demons and becoming masters of the magic of deliberate creation.  We are at the leading edge of all creation, right here, right now.  Moment to moment we are creating new realities whether we choose to accept the responsibility or not.  This story is about learning and discovery and hopefully has a happy ending.  It’s our own choice of course.  Now, one important note:  the voice that is constantly talking in your mind and may be saying all of these ideas are goofy is not you.  It is just a bio-computer output that is constantly scanning, labeling, storing impressions, interpretations and opinions that it is exposed to.  IT believes it knows all about reality but its limitation is that it believes “reality” happens to it.  IT accepts no responsibility for what’s going on and even if it does “intellectually” - it still can have great difficulty getting around appearances.  If a doctor tells you that you have six months to live, that bio-computer that you have created to control your avatar in this game has a hard time saying and BELIEVING that the doctors declaration does not have to have any credibility – you can reject that outcome and do something else. 

It is a difficult situation.  You have created this persona with the help of input from parents and friends, social media... the barrage of information that has shaped who you think you are and put it at the controls.  You do need it to operate in this virtual reality world we inhabit.  The problem is that all of us start to believe everything it says and since the basic program we have to work with is designed to protect us from threats – it would rather hide in a cave to be safe than to boldly go where no one has gone before – we are more likely to expect the worst rather than the best and that then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

   

And so, here we are with my particular life story – not that unlike yours although the events were things I dreamed up – we may have only slightly affected each other or some of us may have been prominent characters interacting in this play. The hope is that together as we share this journey, we can each work on rewriting some of the story line and help our avatar and bio-computer do a better job at shaping "reality" and performing our part in the adventure.

“All the world is a stage and all the men and women are merely players” William Shakespeare

Prologue to a life adventure that is still being written and will be published before it is finished.

Keep the Force Flowing!

Every cell in your body has a direct relationship with Creative Life Force, and each cell is independently responding. When you feel joy, all the circuits are open and the Life Force or God Force can be fully received. When you feel guilt or blame or fear or anger, the circuits are hindered and the Life Force cannot flow as effectively. Physical experience is about monitoring those circuits and keeping them as open as possible. The cells know what to do. They are summoning the Energy.

---Abraham

What is Real?

One eminent physicist put it this way:

“What makes up things are not more things; what makes up things are ideas, concepts, information. The more we learn about the nature of the universe, the more it’s starting to look like a giant thought or a dream.”

A TRANSFORMATIONAL MEDITATION FOR SEVEN DAYS

A TRANSFORMATIONAL MEDITATION FOR SEVEN DAYS

1.  I am a powerful creative being open to positively transforming my life.  The world all
around me responds to the energy I am transmitting moment to moment.  In my mind’s eye I
build a vision of how I want my life to be.  I live in an abundant and infinite Universe.
A Mantra –Om Bhavam Namah—I am absolute existence. I am a field of all possibilities 

2.  With each day I accept more and more my true ability to shape my own reality.
Whenever distress or fear or uncertainty comes into my awareness, I consciously move my thoughts
to appreciation.  As I take time to consider all of the things I am grateful for, I am recharged with
energy to radiate to the world around me. I see this positive energy flowing out as a blessing to all
I come in contact with.  I see all that I need and want flowing back to me along the waves of
positive energy I am radiating.  The Universe responds with energy and inspiration to manifest my
wants and desires into my personal reality.
A Mantra –Sat, Chit, Ananda—Existence, Consciousness, Bliss 

3.  As I accept that I truly have great power as a transformational being... that I have the
ability to convert an image in my mind into a tangible manifested reality in my life, my joy
and excitement continue to increase.  
A Mantra –Om Daksham Namah—My actions achieve maximal benefit with minimal effort 

4.  I know that many may still see themselves as victims living an uncertain and unfair life but
through the joy and love I radiate, I help them move in the direction of personal positive
transformation.
A Mantra –Om Kriyam Namah—My actions are aligned with cosmic law

5.  As I radiate more joy and enthusiasm, love and thanksgiving, I become an ever more
powerful magnet attracting people and events that bring me new opportunities to
contribute to the positive transformation of the world around me.
A Mantra –Sat, Chit, Ananda—Existence, Consciousness, Bliss 

6.  I am a joyful part of a growing force, an expanding community generating a powerful
energy through a shared vision of positive transformation.  I am one beacon of positive
energy but like a drop of water in the ocean, I am directly connected with all of creation and
can draw to me everything I need in the creation process.  As I share my vision of positive
transformation with others of like mind, our ability to affect the world as a whole increases.
A Mantra –Om Ritam Namah—My actions and desires are supported by cosmic intelligence 

7.  As I stay centered on joy and good feelings, wellness and prosperity spread wherever I go
and in all I touch.  I am truly blessed with the awareness of this positive transformational
power and grateful for each opportunity to share it with the world.
Moment to moment, my life is filled with enthusiasm, abundance, love and joy.
I gratefully radiate the energy of positive transformation to all around me.
A Mantra –Om Vardhanam Namah – I nourish the universe, and the universe nourishes me.

In optimism there is magic.

We're asking you to trust in the Well-being. In optimism there is magic. In pessimism there is nothing. In positive expectation there is thrill and success. In pessimism or awareness of what is not wanted, there is nothing. What you're wanting to do is redefine your relationship with the Stream. We do not ask you to look at something that is black and call it white. We do not ask you to see something that is not as you want it to be and pretend that it is. What we ask you to do is practice moving your gaze. Practice changing your perspective. Practice talking to different people. Practice going to new places. Practice sifting through the data for the things that feel like you want to feel and using those things to cause you to feel a familiar place. In other words, we want you to feel familiar in your joy. Familiar in your positive expectation, familiar in your knowing that all is well, because this Universe will knock itself out giving you evidence of that Well-being once you find that place.

Have Fun, Enjoy Life, Help Others and Make Tons of Cash!

That's the motto of the Students to Executives Business Club.  That's an affirmation that is certain to help deliver a wonderful life.  

Have Fun - I don't think there is any question that that should be the primary goal for everyone.  

Enjoy Life - that's different than having fun, that's more about Gratitude - be grateful and appreciative for all the blessings and gifts and talents and inspirations that life offers you.  

Help Others - well, that's why we are here isn't it?  We can't do anything without others.  It's the interaction with others that defines who we are.  We are all in this together and helping others is how we can best help ourselves move forward through increasing the flow of positive energy all around us. 

Making TONS of Cash is really a result of the other three keys to successful living.  That doesn't have to be the result - maybe you want world travel or to write a great book - stick with the three key life guidelines and you will be able to follow your passion to your life purpose.  Regardless of what it is though, making tons of cash should be useful in making sure you have fun, enjoy life and help others. 

A Fresh Start

Today is a new beginning.

I have decided to conclude the PreviewNet chapters and start a new section in the book.

I dreamed up Transforming Reality a little over a year ago and now after a few false starts, I have found the vehicle to take it forward.  I have found a new mentor partner collaborator in a magical guy by the name of W.R. Carney III.  The Universe has brought us together on purpose... or more accurately to give us an exciting dream that we can choose to make a reality.

There have been some others that came into the mix over the last year... a Wall Street hot shot looking for redemption and maybe his own new start... a supposed advanced Spirit with some great ideas but not quite yet walking the walk... a self-made biz wiz, Dad and Coach looking to give back but with too many balls in the air and looking for others struggling to survive to make it happen... there have also been some real villains - evil characters that I have drawn into my story for some reason - no one is inherently evil I guess but some people do take on that roll in life... and there have been a false friend or two to throw in a dose of betrayal. All these things are what create some drama and then that exciting rising above it like the Phoenix from the ashes to glorious and joyous new heights.  That's where this story in going.

The past is prologue and all of the lessons have been important.  But you cannot let yourself get stuck in the muck of what is.  You need to know where you are going.  I am very excited about the next section of the book.  It will see me catapulted onto a much larger stage.  My goal has always been to be a source or fountain of PositiVibes... to make a tangible contribution to a happier, more loving world.  I knew the Coach's concept was right - working with kids is where you can impact real change the fastest - they are not yet set in their ways.  They are still in the early stages of writing their story and are open to influence and inspiration more so than those who have been writing and re-writing their story for years.

WR has created a very nice story line with a program that is build around the concept of Teaching the Sport of Business to students.  It has a shopping card with discounts and rewards that can be sold to generate an income.  It encourages the students to get involved in promoting local businesses and has L.A.B. training program where they are taught positive business skills.

So, I'm jumping on board.  WR thinks I can play an important part in nurturing his dream for a better future.  I like the idea.  It fits perfectly with what Transforming Reality set out to be - a source of positive ideas with an income component.  We have a new congruency.  So, time to step out on a new adventure - life really is wonderful isn't it!

Science of Getting Rich

The “Science of Getting Rich”, written over 100 years ago, offers a formula for Prosperity that will change your life. The author was a man called Wallace D. Wattles and he would inspire Napoleon Hill to write one of the best known books on personal success, Think and Grow Rich.

This is a summary of Wallace’s book:

• There is a universal energy from which all things are made. This energy fills the entire universe.
• When you form a thought in your head, you tap into this energy, and you actually create that which you are thinking about.
• Mankind has the ability to create a thought and cause the subject of the thought to be created within this field of Universal Energy.
• To activate this ability, we must learn to harness our creative mind. Typically, we function with our competitive mind. But to create things with thought, we need to activate the creative mind.
• We can come into harmony with this Universal energy through the act of expressing gratitude. Gratitude unifies our mind with this all encompassing Universal energy.
• To manifest something new, simply hold an image of what you seek in your mind. And express gratitude to the Universe for having granted this to you. To achieve wealth, apply this same principle – hold a clear vision of the wealth you hope to attain. Then express gratitude that this wealth is coming to you. You must have unwavering faith and devout gratitude.
• All that you include in your mental image will come to you through the physical realm – through the process of natural ways such as trade and commerce.
• To claim this wealth, you must be active. You must do all that you can do each day to make this vision a reality. Especially strive to deliver to others something of value greater than what they paid you for.
• Those who practice these instructions will get rich. And the riches they receive will be in the exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.

What is coming? That's the Story to focus on.

What-is has no bearing on what is coming unless you are continually regurgitating the story ofwhat is. By thinking and speaking more of how you really want your life to be, you allow what you are currently living to be the jumping-off place for so much more. But if you speak predominantly of what-is, then you still jump off —but you jump off into more of the same.

---Abraham

Prosperity Consciousness... it's a state of mind.

Start Tipping the Scales

The things that we would be asking ourselves is, "What proportion of my day am I in vibrational harmony with my desires, which means, how much of my day am I happy, glad, eager, fulfilled, satisfied, complimentary? And what percentage of my day am I ornery, irritated, frustrated, or blaming?" And you don't have to do 100%, you don't have to do 90%, you don't have to do 80%. If you could even get around 55% feeling better, than not feeling so good — you'd have significant movement in what begins to happen in your experience.

This is a Vibrational Universe. The only Source that flows is the Source of Well-Being. And, physical and Nonphysical, we are all free to allow that Well-Being to flow to us and through us or we can pinch it off. It is our call — every time...

---Abraham

Enlightenment

Enlightenment means literally aligning to the Energy of my Source. And genius is only about focusing. Law of Attraction takes care of everything else. Physical humans often want to make enlightenment about finding some process and moving through the process that has been pre-described. But true enlightenment is moving to the rhythm of the internal inspiration that is coming in response to the individual desire. Enlightenment is about allowing my connection to the Source that is me for the fulfillment of the things that I have individually defined here in my time/space reality. That's as good as it gets!

---Abraham

I place my intentions into the vast ocean of all possibility and allow the Universe to work through me.

I know that many may still see themselves as victims living an uncertain and unfair life but 

through the joy and love I radiate, I shape my reality and help them move in the direction of personal positive 

transformation. 

A Mantra –Om Kriyam Namah—My actions are aligned with cosmic law 

SO OF COURSE YOU CAN CHANGE IT!

As I accept that I truly have great power as a transformational being... that I have the ability to convert an image in my mind into a tangible manifested reality in my life, my joy and excitement continue to increase. 

A Mantra –Om Daksham Namah—My actions achieve maximal benefit with minimal effort

The accepting.  That's the challenging part.  When you are in pain with a broken arm, it can be very difficult to see your arm fully healed and pain free.  The current reality gets in the way of the transformation.  It's the same when any reality of the moment is not what you want it to be... it is hard to believe it is only an illusion AND that you fully have the power to manifest a different reality if you will really accept that you have that power - that everything in your "reality" is your creation SO OF COURSE YOU CAN CHANGE IT! 

Things don't always happen as you expect but they happen for your good.

With each day I accept more and more my true ability to shape my own reality.

Whenever distress or fear or uncertainty comes into my awareness, I consciously move my thoughts to appreciation.  As I take time to consider all of the things I am grateful for, I am recharged with energy to radiate to the world around me. I see this positive energy flowing out as a blessing to all I come in contact with.  I see all that I need and want flowing back to me along the waves of positive energy I am radiating.  The Universe responds with energy and inspiration to manifest my wants and desires into my personal reality.

A Mantra –Sat, Chit, Ananda—Existence, Consciousness, Bliss

Everything really does happen for your good.  Doesn't feel like it sometimes of course but it's all how you respond.  There is a great book out by Richard Bach... another great book I should say since he has had several.  This one is called Travels with Puff: A Gentle Game of Life and Death. It is filled with wisdom intertwined with the story of his transcontinental flight in a small SeaRey plane named Puff.  Richard talks about "coincidence" in one section where an airport runway is closed for re-paving (which does not happen often) and thus he ends up at an airport 25 miles further along that just happens to have hanger space available to have the plane out of the weather (which does not happen often) and unexpectedly, severe weather hits that would most certainly have damaged Puff if she were stuck outside and not protected by the hanger... things happen that way.  Maybe we call it luck.  Richard believes and I concur, we rather think of it as guardian Spirits or angel allies helping us out.

Recently, although I didn't think it was totally on my own choosing, I exited from my role with a group of local community news magazines.  I probably would have been rather upset about this if I was not convinced that even though I didn't consciously plan it this way, it was required for me to be successful in getting what I really want.  I have recently formed a new company called Transforming Reality (you can find out more about that at www.TransformingReality.com).  One of my partners in the new company is also a key figure behind an organization called the Keeping Dreams Alive Foundation.  This is a non-profit with a mission to help kids - help kids learn and understand the basics of living a successful and happy life.  They provide academic mentoring, athletic coaching and career guidance to kids who would probably never have access to it without their help.  

Well, if the runway hadn't been closed (the sudden exit from the community news magazines) I might never have been able to make my new focus raising money through sponsorship's and donations for Keeping Dreams Alive.  Here's a great quote from Richard's new book:  "If I have learned one lesson in all my days, it's this: The more we believe there's invisible guidance in our lives, the more it's true for us, and the more it works every day."

And So We Begin... Again

     I am a powerful creative being open to positively transforming my life.  The world all around me responds to the energy I am transmitting moment to moment.  In my mind’s eye I build a vision of how I want my life to be.  I live in an abundant and infinite Universe.

A Mantra –Om Bhavam Namah—I am absolute existence. I am a field of all possibilities

Each day is a new beginning... a fresh start... almost a clean slate.  We have the beliefs and vibrations we were broadcasting the day before still carrying some momentum but we can shift that momentum with a changed state of mind.  

All is well... everything always works out for me!  Today everything will transform in wondrous ways to begin making my dreams a reality.  I am joyful, thankful and full of excited anticipation for what is coming.

Keeping Dreams Alive

I have been on this path of Transforming Reality - convinced of the fact that each of us can shape our reality on a moment to moment basis and have our dreams come true - for some time.  For the last year I have been actively seeking a platform from which to share these ideas with more people.  www.TransformingReality.com is the piece that has come together so far and it provides a lot of very useful information to anyone that visits.  Eventually it will be the meeting place for a worldwide community of like-minded individuals seeking to Positively Transform their personal realities and the world around them.

My personal dream of being able to wake people up to the fact that they can live the life of their most wonderful dreams and have lives full of prosperity, joy and love has lead me to an organization called Keeping Dreams Alive.  It has been developing for over 10 years and is now put the pieces in place to expand its reach in South Florida and beyond.  They work with kids by coaching and mentoring them with success strategies and through empowering them to believe that their dreams can come true.  Many of the kids come from low income families and the help of Keeping Dreams Alive is just what they need to reach a whole new level of personal achievement.

Our blog here will let you know how things are going and ways you may be able to help - donations will always be a good thing - I will actively working at raising money to expand their operations and the number of kids they reach through donations and sponsorship opportunities.  You can download a complete overview of the organization at:  www.PreviewNet.com/KDA/KeepingDreamsAlive.pdf

Read the Affirmation and then meditate with the suggested mantra for 15-20 minutes... it will be nice!

I am a powerful creative being continuously evolving 

and allowing positive transformation in my life.  The 

world all around me responds to the energy I am 

transmitting moment to moment.  In my mind’s eye I 

build a vision of how I want my life to be.  I open 

myself to allowing all of my hopes and dreams to flow 

into reality.  Joy and Love are my compass and staying 

centered on those feelings keep me on course.  

With each day I accept more and more my true ability 

to shape my own reality.  Whenever distress or fear or 

uncertainty comes into my awareness, I consciously 

move my thoughts to appreciation.  I see the positive 

energy of Love and Joy flowing out as a blessing to all 

I come in contact with.  I see all that I need and want 

flowing back to me along the waves of positive energy 

I am radiating.  The Universe responds with energy 

and inspiration to manifest my wants and desires into 

my personal reality. 

I live in an abundant and infinite Universe. 

As I radiate more joy and enthusiasm, love and 

thanksgiving, I become an ever more powerful magnet 

attracting people and events that bring me new 

opportunities to contribute to the positive 

transformation of the world around me. 

As I stay centered on joy and good feelings, wellness 

and prosperity spread wherever I go and in all I touch.  

I am truly blessed with the awareness of this positive 

transformational power and grateful for each 

opportunity to share it with the world.  Moment to 

moment, my life is filled with enthusiasm, abundance, 

love and joy. I gratefully radiate the energy of positive 

transformation to all around me. 

A Mantra –Sat, Chit, Ananda - Existence, Consciousness, Bliss 

I Come to Contribute to An Evolving Creation and Have Fun and Joy Doing It!

I am an unlimited spiritual being inhabiting a physical form.  I inhabit this physical form to contribute to the ongoing creation and shaping of the reality we all share.  I came forth into this life adventure to learn and play and contribute.  I am guided in what I do by always seeking feelings of love and joy.  I strive to maintain the playful spirit of a child with no fears or preconceived ideas.  I move through my day seeing it freshly, moment by moment, on the lookout for things that bring a smile to my face and a warm glow to my heart.  My heart and mind work together to decide how I should shape my life adventure.  I understand that the only limitations that exist to having and being everything I desire only come from my lack of belief in my true nature as a powerful shaper of reality.  In this moment, I say YES to allowing all of creation to work in and through me to manifest all of my hopes and dreams.  There is nothing that I can want with my mind and heart that can be kept from me if I simply say yes to it and expectantly and thankfully accept it as the way my life is to be. 

As I transform my life by defining in my mind and heart my intentions and designing the life I will live, by combining the reality shaping energy I am continuously radiating with other like minded individuals, together we increase our power to affect the world around us.  Reality is nothing more than the manifestation of shared beliefs.  As we build a vision of a community of abundance and love filled days, more and more people are drawn to the power of our energy.  We joyfully accept our role as creators of a more abundant, loving and joy filled world.  I allow all of my gifts and talents to blossom so that they can be put to use in service of this positive transformation of reality.  As a transformational community we combine our energy, hopes and dreams to manifest this glorious vision in greater detail and scope in every moment. 

I am filled with thanksgiving for this opportunity and for this wonder filled adventure we are sharing.  Namaste.

Some Thoughts on Co-operation from Craig Hamilton

It's Independence Day weekend here in the U.S., and I've been reflecting a lot these last few days on both the beauty and the limitations of our culture's fierce, deep-rooted independence.

The call to independence is in its essence a call to freedom, and it's been responsible for profound cultural advances -- from the ending of publicly condoned slavery to the steady advancement of human rights.

Where our spirituality is concerned, however, our attachment to independence may be one of the greatest obstacles on our path.

As a spiritual guide and teacher, I've worked with thousands of people aspiring to realize their deepest potential. And if I've learned anything in the process, it's that for us to evolve -- as individuals and as a society -- we need each other.

To truly realize our highest potentials, our individual work is often not quite enough. Ultimately, we need to engage in transformative interactions with other people who share our aspiration to evolve.

It's a simple idea. But its implications run deep. 

And for many of us, it raises some conflicting feelings. Perhaps you can see this in your own experience.

For instance, this notion that we can't walk the spiritual path alone may resonate with  part of you --  the part that longs for connection and support on your journey. 

Yet you might also be aware of some resistance to this suggestion.  

In our modern world, in which independence has become almost a religion, the notion that we need other people foranything can seem almost like heresy. If we were to embrace such an idea, wouldn't we be giving away our power and our freedom?

When we think about traditional depictions of the spiritual path, the picture that often comes to mind is also of a solitary, independent journey. The lone sage on the mountaintop. The yogi alone in the cave. The hermit in a hut. The wandering pilgrim.

Even if we attend church services or classes or meditation groups, most of us still tend to think of our spiritual path as a private, internal, solo quest in which we are the sole determining factor of our own spiritual destiny.

But how independent are we, really?

If you've ever attended a personal growth workshop or spiritual retreat, you've probably noticed that in an environment where everyone is focused on our higher evolutionary potentials, it's relatively easy to experience a spiritual "high" or break through to new ground within ourselves.

But what happens when you come home from such an event -- and find yourself again surrounded by people who don't share your higher values and commitments?

For most of us, in the absence of a supportive social container for our awakening, we find ourselves quickly losing touch with the new potentials that seemed so accessible in the retreat or workshop environment.

Although we like to think of ourselves as self-sufficient, the reality is that we are social creatures. Our ability to co-exist with one another depends on our willingness to abide within a matrix of shared values, assumptions, and agreements about what is real, what is important, and what is acceptable behavior.

So unless we surround ourselves with others who share our deepest spiritual values and aspirations, we almost inevitably find ourselves fighting against a kind of invisible but powerful "social gravity." And it pulls us back into the unenlightened, unevolved "world mind" we're trying to break free from.

It's not impossible to generate "escape velocity" on one's own. But, for most of us, a sustained context of partnership with kindred spirits becomes essential.

Not only is shared spiritual inquiry a potent accelerator of our own evolution, I've also come to believe that we stand a much better chance of moving the mountains many of us dream of moving if we do it together.

After years of work facilitating spiritual work in community, and seeing tremendous results, I'm convinced of this: The greatest challenges of our time will not be solved merely by separate individuals, but by an enlightened collective.  There's infinite potential in how we can cooperate, collaborate and unite to solve problems.

Ultimately, insistence upon pure "independence" is an obstacle -- to our radical evolution beyond ego, and into the truly enlightened relationship to life that will yield the world we yearn to create. To be an effective evolutionary is to embrace and cultivate the support of other evolutionaries.

So the question is, where and how do we begin to create an environment that cultivates this kind of evolutionary support and partnership?

Just Let It Go!

So, we are trying to write a good script for the day and a great new chapter of our life.  If things are not currently falling into place as you would like, it is probably time to just let go.  If you are too attached to the outcome you are seeking, it can result in a lot of frustration.  You start beating up on yourself either asking what you are doing wrong or why you are not doing enough of the things you think you need to do get the results you want.  Maybe you even start feeling like you should blame someone or something other than yourself for what is going on or not going on.  You know you just need to get back to having fun and being carefree but the circumstances make it seem impossible.

What can be done?  Just let go and put all the problems in the hands of Source – mentally throw it out to the Universal Energy Field and ask for the answers.  A course correction is clearly needed. 

Obviously you need work on improving your mood as quickly as possible.  If you sit around feeling sorry for yourself, you’ll just attract more things to feel sorry for yourself about.  So, again, let the problem go.  You don’t have to solve it.  The answer will come to you if you put the question out there and then expectantly – and ideally enthusiastically – listen for inspiration.  Spending some extra time in meditation might be useful or going for a bike ride or petting your cat – anything to allow you to let go of your concern… fear… anger and other emotions that are not going to help you reset your course in a positive direction.  Using a statement like “everything always works out for me” can be helpful.  A dose of gratitude can work wonders – start general so you can get away from the immediate issues – we live in a wondrous world with much beauty – there bound to be people and things in your life you can feel happy about – get those feelings going.  Just let the other stuff go for a bit.

Get some gratitude bubbling up in you.  We live in a rich, abundant Universe and we have access to an energy field of infinite possibilities.  Trust that your answer is on its way and listen for it… that little voice of intuition in your head is your personal connection to the network, the Universal energy field.  You have a whole bunch of Spirits out there eager to help you get anything you want accomplished.  You just have to allow the inspiration to flow through to your consciousness.  Make a connection with Source.  Prayer, meditation, petting your cat, a walk in the woods – step away from the problems and listen for your answers.

Petting your cat or dog can be really good for you (and they usually like it too)

If you know that all is well, you know all you need to know. And if you know life is supposed to be fun, you know more than almost anybody else knows. And if you know that the way you feel is your indicator of how connected you are to Source, then you know that which only a handful of Deliberate Creators, respective to the total population, really know. The beasts all know it.

Your animals know that all is well. Your animals live in the moment. They understand the power of their now. They expect the Universe to yield to them. They don't worry or fret or conjure or make laws or rules or try to regulate. They are Pure Positive Energy. Your beasts vibrate more on the Energy scale of contentment than of passion. Their desire was set forth from Nonphysical, and continues to be set forth by those, like you, who want Energy balance, who want sustenance.

The difference between the beast and the human is that the beast is more general in its intent. The human is usually less blended, usually less allowing of the Energy to flow, but is more specific. And that is why the human is seen to be the Creator while the beast is more the balancer of Energy.

Script Writing

So today is the first day of July.  July is going to be a very exciting month.  Let's start off with a dose of gratitude.  Even if it is a cloudy day the sun shines brightly on our planet bringing it warmth and huge amounts of energy.  That's an amazing thing.  We don't have to do anything to make it happen - the most important factor for us to be on this particular stage playing our parts in this play of life just is.  That's good for a little gratitude - you can understand why the Egyptians thought of the sun as God - Ra.  Then there is all of the beauty around us... sky, clouds, trees, flowers, the breeze, the rain, the ocean... a world of majesty and wonder.  Birds chirping and flying around in the cool early morning air.  Then there is your body.  Breathe going in and out, heart beating; thousands of functions go on all without you having to do a thing to control it.  All you have to do is let it happen and taking the time to be appreciative will make you feel good.  Feel the wonder and amazement.  Don't just take it for granted.  Consider the complexity and majesty of this multi-dimensional world we live in.  It is a field of unlimited possibilities.  Here's an important note though.  While so much goes on without your needing to make it happen, you actually are one of the designers of what manifests for us as reality.  You are not just a spectator.  You are in charge.  You can just go with the flow and have a very uneventful life.  You can worry about lack and limitation and be judging of everything and get angry and have a tumultuous life filled with trials and error.  But you can also sharpen your skills and become a deliberate creator of your own reality.  What do you want to happen today?  What are you putting in the script of your movie?  Let's make it fun and everything else will fall in place.
