Question:

Is there any way to use our eye-movements in order to store information better?

 

Gary:

Yes there is. What you would do is you would go up into individual recall and you would spell the word or the information, if it is a word, spell it forward-backward, forward-backward, about 7 times, then go down into kinesthetic and then feel what it feels like having it spelled right, than feel it, go back up and spell it again, feel it and then lock it into place in visual recall. That is one way to do it. It is a lot of work but it just depends on your commitment. But be sure to go down to kinesthetic to make sure how it feels like to spell it right. I do this with names sometimes.

 

Question:

What is the difference between meditating and go into self-hypnosis?

 

Gary:

They are both altered states, I think they are both synonymous, quite frankly. Meditation of course is the only used in a mantra-form and is more devotional in nature. At least the meditations that I have done. It depends on what type of meditation. I always was involved in Bhakti-Yoga, which is devotional kind of Yoga where you are in a mantra repeating the names of God out of love for God, rather then there are some meditations that are simply based on disciplining the mind. So it depends on what the meditational intend is. There is people who meditate and work with the dark side. There is lost of different ways to focus the mind. But I think that devotional meditation is probably the most rewarding. And Hypnosis is simply an altered state where the conscious mind is still. What you do with it after that is kind of up to you. The difference is the intent. Both still the mind but then what do you do once the mind is still. Do you pray for power or do you pray for God? I went out on vision quest with Marilyn and there was just me and this Indian guy out on the mountain, we were the last once out. Marilyn was leaving and we were out that long because we required greater purification. And I remember him before he went out he said “I am going to pray to the thunder beings, the lightning” and I said “for what?” he said “for power”. Well his prayers were strong. And the last night we were out a lightning storm came up and it was the worst Marilyn said she had ever seen in all the years she had been out in Colorado. Lightning was hitting the ground once every 10 feet. It was really, really bad. And I was out there, I was meditating, had my pipe and every now and again lightning would hit really close to me. She came out and got us, she got us early. She pulled us into the debriefing room and said:”OK, which one of you were praying for power? One of you is praying for power! I want to know who it was because one of you is praying to the lightning beings and is praying for power! You go and meditate!” So I was glad, it was not me!

So we go to the lots the next morning and he breaks down and he says he was praying for power. And Marilyn asks him: ‘why would you pray for power?’ What would power ever give you? What does that pre-suppose when someone desires power? They feel powerless and they are afraid and they feel less. Remember the presuppositions of language? That the presupposition of existence is that if something exists the opposite must be true. So when we look at people’s behavior and we see them acting in this way that you say, “oh my God, why do they do that?” You have to go to the presupposition of existence. There is some people show up and they assume a lot of power. They walk into that room and they wheel their psychic abilities in a way that is sometimes intimidating and not useful. The Master uses to say: Those who know never say and those who say don’t know.

But I will say that power is a seductive thing and a lot of people that go on the spiritual path get lost in the valley of power because they finally realize based upon – they will call them Siddhis and Rishis – some different minor psychic abilities that can begin to be developed, that they can have influence over other people and can make things happen that they couldn’t before. And as a consequence they begin to lust for power and it is only because they have lived in powerlessness. So the greatest experience of strength is just the flip-side of their deepest weakness. And if you choose to empower the illusion of power within them they grow stronger and if you choose to see the foundation of weakness under the quest for power they have no influence over you. Does that make sense? It is really really important that people learn how to work with those who are misusing power because there are a lot of people misusing power. I personally believe that there is a different type of energy flowing onto the world right now, like there is more available to us and you are able to wake up faster and use these abilities in a deeper degree without enough purification. And certain people are way off on the wrong track. Let’s cancel ‘wrong’. It is not the wrong track, it’s the track that is not going to lead to the ultimate outcome. So we just have to learn how to navigate our way through those particular hallucinations.

 

Question:

What is your take on the divisions between religions?

 

Gary:

I will ask you, what does your soul feel about that?

 

Answer:

I think that there is just one God.

 

Gary:

I agree. I think God just looks down on us and just says ‘Yes’! ‘yes’ and ‘yes’! Whatever metaphor you choose to encapsulate your culture that will define the unspeakable to your conscious mind and your ego, it’s a big ‘yes’, you go for it!

You want to make a connection between me and you?- great! You want to have physical body that you can worship? Great! You want to have a personality because that is how our egos are so separated that you cannot even conceive of me? So you have to conceive of me through a personality that you can identify with? Great! So it is Allah, it is Mohammed for some people; it is Christ for others. It is like, great. This power just says ‘yes’ to whatever it is that we choose to create as a metaphor to create a pathway and understand between the vast levels of separation of our ego to the unspeakable concept of God. And this power called God just says ‘yes’ to whatever it is.

A lot of people might be really offended by what I just said but I think for my worldview  that is pretty much true (…), otherwise whatever the thing called God is that would pick one religion and slaughter everybody else if you don’t believe it: I wouldn’t want to belong to that God! That would not be a God I would hang out with. So, since it is all made up anyway, I think I want to make up a better God. Don’t you think? Because, none of it makes any sense at all. I just doesn’t, there is absolutely no sense. Religion makes no sense. I completely respect every single religion’s traditions and metaphors and ceremonies because that is what evokes and awakens the devotion. But see, it is all about how we awaken the devotion in the human heart. And there is all the different systems to awaken the devotion, but people get lost in worshipping the systems, rather than the devotion which is the end product of the systems and I think that is where we get really really derailed or our cultures have gotten really derailed. They got lost in the fact of the system or the ceremony or the metaphor and they began worshipping that instead of the devotion that was supposed to be the end product of all the ceremony. They worshipped the map, they worshipped the idol and this is what Christ said: be aware of false prophets, do not idol worship. What have they done? They have turned this personality called Jesus into an idol. They have taken Allah and turned into an ideal. They have the cross they turned that into an idol; they are all idol worshippers.

Buddha everything, all of it. The Buddhist are a little bit different. But it is wild, they are doing the exact opposite of the teachings and they will go to the death they will create genocide over their ceremonies. And it is tragedy. Why do you think the ‘course in miracles’ was channeled and written? There was this little Jewish atheists woman who started getting this voice in her head, she thought she was absolutely insane; she was this PhD psychiatrist, went to her best friend in the same hospital and went” I am going insane”, his name was Bill Theford(?) and started explaining to him what was happening to her and he said: “write it!, just write down everything”. Two years later and two volumes that thick became the course in miracles and it was Christ saying ‘ I am so deeply disturbed by how my teachings have been so distorted I have come to clarify the meaning of what I meant to say through my teachings. He explains the crucifixion unlike anything you have ever heard before, he explains all the core events that happened that are the metaphors of the Christian faith worships and he explains it quite differently. I taught it for 8 years, it is powerful. I would highly recommend it, especially if the Christian faith appeals to you, I would read the course. It won’t make any sense at first, it is meant to unravel your mind and it does that, and you will read one paragraph and you will go ‘oh my God, oh my God…what does that mean’ and will think about it for weeks. It is written in a way to unravel the ego. It is very very powerful stuff.

Bill Theford (?) used to come and sit in the back of a course in miracles class I used to teach. He would sit in the back in silence, and I refused to teach it. What I would do is, I would open up one of the prayer and I would say ‘everyone within the room is equally Christ and knowledgeable, so everybody gets to read at least a paragraph from the book.’ And then everyone would pass the book around, everyone would read a paragraph and if anyone had a question I would do my best to answer it. That is how I taught it, Bill loved that. He really disliked Mary-Anne(?) He really did. He thought she was the worst thing that ever happened to ‘the course of miracles’. I cannot say that: He didn’t say that to me specifically but he was not really happy with the way it was being taught! Because it was coming through another mind. It was not an individual teaching being individually laid on individual minds to be able to interpret for themselves. Some person became a spokesperson and that was what he didn’t like. Do you know how he died? It was really beautiful; because I knew the person he was with when he died? He was a mentor of mine, he was a fabulous man. He was up in the mountains staying in a cabin with about two other people and all of the sudden he started dancing in the cabin. He just started singing ‘ I am so free, I am so free’ He just danced, he danced out of the cabin and out into the woods, jelling and screaming ‘ I am so free’ and dropped it.

He was in his sixties when he died, isn’t that beautiful? I am like” That’s how I am going to die!!” That is a powerful way to go and I am thinking: Why couldn’t all of us leave like that? Wouldn’t that be the greatest testimony to a life well lived? Because otherwise, we are going to be hanging out at our death-bed thinking about our kids that generally are just worrying about the dollars you are going to leave them and you will be hanging out like you are worrying about your puppy or your house and who is going to get the money and the inheritance and how they are going to fight over it….who cares? All the accumulation of all the things we think are valuable and all we really want to do is being in absolute ecstatic love and dance out of our bodies, leaving this place with complete surrender of the great unknown because we stepped into it so many times in the past. Wouldn’t’ t that be the greatest way to go? Just let’s get up and dance, and dance out of our bodies. I am modeling excellence. I want to dance out of my body.

 

Question:

Would you add something or modify the 10 commandments?

 

Gary:

Yes, I would modify the 10 commandments. I would say: be responsible for your creation, love what you have created, know you created it, forgive yourself and know at one level, that life is leading you beautifully in the direction of you becoming once again one with that ecstatic love that is animating all of life.

 

Comment:

Sometimes, I think if we didn’t have any religions and we just followed the 10 commandments it would be all we needed.

 

Gary:

I would say that religion serves an incredible purpose for people who are seeking for a structure in which to worship the unknown. Unfortunately, it becomes a weapon of separation. And so rather than creating unification it creates separation. I would say that there are people involved in religion that are doing wonderful work and it is not that they are not, they are and they are operating out of the best level they know at their particular state of evolution that is going to be the thing that is going to give them the greatest value. So if it existed there is nothing condemnable about it. It is serving some level of consciousness, and so who are we to say that ought not to exist. If it exists it is part of the plan. Whether I participate in it or not is another question. But if it exists it is a holly thing, I mean where would a souls incarnate to that really have to learn about war? Iraq and Palestine. Who are we to say that that ought no to exist. I don not know enough to know that. From my ego’s prospective I would like no human being to suffer. From my soul’s prospective how do I know that the greatest suffering won’t bring the greatest evolution of spirit? And why do I deny some of that? I don’t know enough to know that. So I can only say that if it exists than I believe that this great thing called life has a purpose for that existing and the purpose is to beautifully evolve whatever souls are participating and whatever it is in a way that most serves their learning and their waking up. And that is a big chunk and that doesn’t mean that you don’t do things to help ease suffering you do. But this is not a place where suffering will ever stop; I don’t believe that the earth or the physical realm is a place where suffering is neutralized. I think this is where we come to do this. I would like to think it was different. I just have never seen any evidence of it. So the best thing we can do is create little heavens within ourselves and do the greatest work that we can do around us and the people that are within the shadow of our influence.

Question:

What do you think about the ‘conversations with God’ book?

 

Gary:

I am unfamiliar with the book, I have people come up to me and say ‘ah conversations with God, you must have read that’ and I am like ‘ No, I don’t know I haven’t read it.’.

So, no, I am not familiar with his work.

 

Comment:

He just had a huge convention; there were a couple of thousand people and many many from Australia.

 

Gary:

Australia is very very hungry, I guess that is one of the reasons why I am going.

If I were to say if there was a purpose for life, it would be: To learn how to love, I mean divinely love, with no judgment, even beyond unconditional, just no judgment in the ultimate form of separation, our bodies and our egos. If we could learn how to stop judging and have love I think then we would know that there is no difference between here and there, between earth and a physical body and heaven. That is what I believe enlightenment is, is that when we walk in the ultimate form of separation a body and absolutely see no separation., then we are awake. And I think that that is totally possible.

 

Question:

Have you achieved that?

 

Gary:

Me? Oh no!

Not even close, but I know that that is it. And I get glimpses. When I look outside myself and I just see absolute perfection. It doesn’t happen often but it does happen. And I know as age and I grow that it is going to happen more often. And when we talk like this and when we are around like this, we even have a concept of this, this is what supports that to grow. One more question, because it feels like we are winding down.

 

Comment: (Heike)

It was very interesting regarding ‘conversations with God’ that (…) he uses all the common NLP-terms and phrases.

 

Gary:

Yes, I don’t know.

I know, Heike, I know that she went to a psychic channeler and the psychic channeler was doing all this NLP Timeline stuff on her. And said: ” oh, these were gifts that were channeled to me through ,what was the deity’s name?, Akakabaka? And it was done through me… And Heike, off course told me and said: ‘all this stuff was so NLP’ and I asked her: ‘what was the person’s name?’ she gave me his name and is said: ‘that was one of my students!’ and she calls her stuff ‘tools of the spirit’! And she took that from my work which was ‘tools for life’. It is like, she took all of my stuff and morphed it into an entity. That is why you have to be a little cautious when you are out there.

 

Question:

I want to ask you about those 4 questions: what is the outcome of the 4 questions.

 

Gary:

For me the outcome of those 4 questions which is Byron Katie’s which are: is it true? Can I know it is true?  What is it costing me and who am I without it?

It is basically forcing you to look at your model of the world, basically your hallucination. And then know that you cannot possibly know enough information to know that it is true. Look at what it is costing you, which is of course separation and not unification, if you are judging than you know that you are out of love. And who are you without it, without the judgment? You are absolute ecstatic love.

 

Question:

Costing me means what do I have to give up to have it?

 

Gary:

Or what are you experiencing as a consequence of your constant judgment? And that is a cost. And the cost is separation. Whenever we judge anything we judge anything we have to have fear. Because, in that fear in our judgment we will be judged against, because all what we are doing is: we are projecting what we would be or do in that person’s behavior. When we look at the person’s behavior we are like ‘ok, that person must be thinking that or that…’ how would we know that? We would only know that? We would only that by placing ourselves in that person’s position that we can say ‘ok, that would be what I would be feeling, so therefore that is what they are feeling.’ So, who is really the judgment of? It is not of them, it is of you. As a consequence all judgment is self-condemnation. It is true! It is just self-condemnations. You keep winding yourself deeper into this place where the condemnation of yourself becomes huge and really judgmental people are filled with self-hatred.

 

Question:

How does that play out with someone like me? Like, when I am in my car etc?

 

Gary:

You never know what motivates a person. If you run from the presupposition that there is always a positive intention behind every behavior the person may feel powerless and the only place they feel like they have power is behind a wheel. Women have always done this to me personally. Very aggressive drivers, they do like really rude things and I am like ‘bloody hell, why did you do that?’ and I am thinking to myself ‘they probably felt powerless with some male entity, person and this is where they can have power. Not that this is a big old generalization on my part, but it is a good hallucination and it makes me feel better.  There is lots of different ways you can look at why people do what they do. It depends on whether you are willing to operate here or here.

 

The truth of all is either you are going to choose to be peaceful or you are going to make yourself right.

I have this thought that if we judge something we must have the opportunity to experience it to neutralize what we put into action. So if you judge something, my idea is, and I really think it is true that we get to experience it. I mean if you judge it and condemn it, than you have to experience it and all that you are saying is: God you screwed up and according to my model of the world you are not right here. And so, if you are condemning God and its; expression in that particular form then you are condemning the creation. And if you are judging anything then you are separate from the creation and in order for you to be whole you must experience the allowance of it, because that is God being made manifest in simply another manifestation. How can you become unified with God if you cannot be unified with all that has been created? And this is why judgment separates us and creates the requirement for us to experience it so that we can unify and love all that was God is. Judge nothing. Allow everything, and then you unify with everything and then you will be able to dance out of your body. Do you think that your judgment and your condemnations are going to leave you at the time of death? They do not. Consciousness is consciousness and just because your body ages it does not mean that your anger dwindles. One day Robert and I saw this car, and there was this little old lady, she has to be 3 feet tall, and we are like 3 or 4 cars behind her. And suddenly we hear all that screaming and we are looking at her and she is cursing and jelling and her arms are flying out of the sides of her car and she is holding on to her horn because the guy in front of her, who has a red light, isn’t moving. We drive by and she is like out of control in her car. She has to be 85. Filled with rage. This lady, rapped into rage at her age over traffic. What possibilities does she have to really dance out of her body and have a successful life? She doesn’t, does she? It doesn’t diminish with age; it diminishes with choice to change, that is it what it diminishes from. And I will tell you, now is the only moment of power we have to become different, otherwise it will be next week, it will be next month it will be next year, and before you know you will be 90 years old lying in our death-bed in rage that we didn’t do what we knew we could do and didn’t take the time and the effort to be tenacious enough with our consciousness to shift from the temple of what we judge so harshly and condemn so harshly about the world to the temple of ‘I have got complete allowance for the perfection of how each circumstances evolving each soul that is here. And if we don’t shift in the moment and if we don’t practice shifting, we will never condition well enough to be able to do it naturally at the time of death. Because when we die it will be like a movie running through our minds, the picture sounds and feelings of everything we have been attached to will flow before us just like a movie; it is automatic and whatever we are most attached to the last frame will determine our next incarnation. Choose wisely! Choose very, very wisely!

Language of Disempowerment

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Language is Powerful Choose Wisely

Language is Powerful Choose Wisely

Language of disempowerment.  Our subconscious mind takes it literally, we’ve been speaking in forms of language that we hear around us daily.  We are often unaware of what we are actually programming into the subconscious.  Our goal is to use language as outcome oriented, first person accountable moving in the direction of our heart’s desire.  When we use the language of disempowerment we keep our thoughts and emotions in a place of stagnation.

 

Examples of the language of disempowerment: I want and I wish.  Everybody say I want.  Now say My choice is.  How does it feel?  Does it feel different energetically?  Yes!  The volume totally went up.  Now say I require.  I need.  I want.  Now say I require.  Which has more power?  I need.  I desire.  Desire means from the Latin root for the father.  I want and I need literally means more desire without ever having the outcome.  That’s what it literally translates to.  Yes, it’s an outcome in the way it’s languaged is that because you’re wanting it and the subconscious takes your language literally and personally, you can continue wanting it for a very, very long time.  But when you say my choice is, I create my divine partnership, by this date, that’s something quite different than wanting to get married.  What you do is you actually take the infinite power of your subconscious, which is 1 with 8 million miles of half inch zeros, and you go snap – go there!  When you sit in the emotional state of actually feeling that your lover is actually there and you fall asleep at night and you feel your lover’s breath on the back of your neck and you go to sleep in the emotional state of already being in that committed relationship – because before you go to sleep at night is the seed time of the subconscious mind.  Your subconscious processes that emotion for 6 to 8 hours.  What do you think that does?  When you go to sleep in loneliness, in tearfulness about what is not, what do you think your subconscious mind processes for 6 to 8 hours?  For more direct manifestation of what you will experience the following day and have evidence of.  You will see it when you believe it!  We believe it first and then we see it.  So that’s the difference between want and I choose.

 

I’m not.  As soon as you hear I’m not coming out of your mouth cancel, clear, which I’ll teach you in just a little bit, and go I am.  Whenever you’re speaking about I’m not, whenever you use that, you’re going to go into your story immediately.  You’re talking about what you’re moving away from rather than what you’re moving toward.  Remember that when you’re speaking about what you’re moving away from you’re in your story and you’re giving mental focus to what you’re moving away from rather than what you’re moving toward.  So it’s very important that I’m not is a huge red flag for you that you’re going into your story and you’re speaking at the temple and you’re praying at the temple of what you’re moving away from.

 

I would.  I will.  I must and I’ve got to.  How many of you do that one?  I choose to, I can’t, I will, I should, I will, I will try, I will, I hope, my choice is, I don’t know – how many of you say I don’t know?  Big time.  So I don’t know is replaced by I’ll find out, I choose to know.  You make me.  I love that one.  In the context of relationships…how many of you have been in relationships where your partner says, ‘You make me…’  You know you’re in trouble.  I create for myself.  Let me.  From whom are we asking permission?  It’s hard.  It’s a challenge.  It’s an opportunity.  So if it has been difficult for you in the past and you choose to claim it as an opportunity, because in reality if it’s been difficult for you in the past it is literally an opportunity to strengthen those parts of you that have been atrophied so it can become easy.  Is that true?  So it is literally an opportunity.

 

If all else fails.  That means you are starting on the worst possible case scenario which means that is the temple you are praying at and that’s what you will get more of.  My highest choice is, at least I’ll be able to…  What if you said, at most I’ll be able to….  What would that be like?  Where would your mind be?  What I’m speaking about is literally the minutiae of your thought patterns.  This becomes an active system of meditation through your use of language.  When you do this your life completely changes because your thinking must shift.  It must shift with the language and it becomes an active meditation 24 hours a day.  And as you apply this, your life completely metamorphoses because your thinking does, therefore your reality.  At least, at most.  If/then.  If you go to the dog pound with me, then I’ll buy you lunch.  My choice is I’ll buy you lunch.  When/then.  When my choice is.  Almost/kind of.  I’ll kind of marry you.  I’ll almost marry you.  Is that a commitment?  Do you feel empowered?  You replace that with it is, you are, and that will get you there.  Specifically speak about what it is.  When you take those vague qualities out of your languaging you become more directed, more direct and more committed.  When you are consistently speaking about how something will be and you refuse to claim it now, first of all it’s a fear of feelings.  When you claim it now, you bring it into manifestation and creation now.

 

I keep hammering this one point.  Speak toward, speak toward, speak toward.  Stay out of the story.  If you find yourself going to the I’m not and all the negations you know you’re going into your story.  That’s your red flag.  What you are dwelling on you are creating more of.  Whatever your mind thinks about habitually, you are creating the neurosynaptic networks in your head that create the perceptual filters which makes up how you will immediately respond to the world.  This is how you created your reality.  This is how you created you to be you.  So the more you actually focus on where you’re moving instead of the story about where you’ve been, you create your life out of your heart’s desire. 

 

We can no longer stand in the light of the victim archetype which is cultural through our entire world.  Time is speeding up.  How many of you know the planet is slowing down in rotations?  That the particles rotating around the nucleus of the atoms is actually speeded up.  That the entire foundation of all we know to be real has accelerated.  Does this have an effect on you, then we are manifesting quicker than ever before and that means either heaven or hell.  That’s why this information I feel is very important to get out there.  Unless we provide the conscious choice of the words, feelings and imagination to direct our subconscious mind our habitual, ancestrally influenced thinking and our language which represents that thinking will direct our subconscious mind for us.  The choice we make moment to moment is do we create from our potential outcome or from our past limitations.  We make our choice with every word we speak or think.  Our words are our representation of our thinking.  Our thinking represents the focus of our minds.  The focus of our minds is our prayer.  Whatever your mind focuses upon is the temple at which you are praying.  I love that page.  Transformational choices.  My highest choice leaves our highest vision for the event, circumstance or person as the last thing on the screen of our minds.  I make up, I give meaning to, gives us the reality of being accountable for the filters we perceive our life and relationship through.  I choose: expression of our will and identity moving toward our outcome.  I can: expression of our identity, our will and our potential in choosing our outcome.  I have brings a desired state to now, collapses time from the future to the present.  I am; expression of identity claiming the emotional state of our desire fulfilled.  I create; expression of identity claiming our divine right as co-creators.

Every Cell of your Body Hears Every Word You Speak

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Language is Powerful Choose Wisely

Language is Powerful Choose Wisely

Every cell of your body hears every word you speak.  The same brain cells are connected to every single cell of the body which presupposes whatever you are thinking every single cell of your body is hearing.  How many of you have gotten in touch with your death wish?  We had a young boy at the last Life Purpose training.  He was fourteen.  And it was one of the most powerful moments of my life.  Jesse had just been diagnosed with cancer.  He had a lump on his chest and his parents were there.  Jesse got up on these two chairs, actually.  I was sitting in one, he was sitting in the other, and we began the process that I use with each person I have in the Life Purpose training.  I began to ask him questions and go deeper into his language structure until we finally got to what his death wish was.  And when he finally got to it all he could do was sit in that chair and scream, ‘I want to die, I want to die, I want to die.’  And his choice was because he never felt loved.  It was profound what happened out of that.  What occurred in the process he was led through was he had a huge shift.  The whole room had a huge shift.  I’m still kind of emotional just thinking about it.  It was just a really peak experience for me.  His mother called me up two weeks later and said they had just been to the doctor and the tumor disappeared – because he chose to live.  His statement, which every cell of his body heard and every fiber of his emotional self heard, was, ‘I’m choosing to live.’  He did.  So your language, your emotions, create miracles within you.

 

Let’s progress.  Isn’t it a nice day?  It’s a nice day.  Won’t you do it for me.  Would you play the piano for me.  Can’t we ever talk.  Can we make time to talk.  Wouldn’t you like to go.  Would you like to go.  Don’t you like broccoli.  Do you like broccoli.  Didn’t we get the loan.  Did we get the loan.  Shouldn’t you stop that.  Would you stop hitting your little brother.  I love you, but…  I love you, and….  Has anyone ever said that to you – I love you, but…  Boy, you know you’re going to get their 411 on all the things they perceive as less than perfect about you.  Doesn’t it bother you.  Does it bother you.  Your subconscious mind takes your language literally and personally. 

 

Language of disempowerment.  Our subconscious mind takes our language literally.  Because we have been speaking informs that we hear around us daily we are often unaware of what we are actually programming into our subconscious.  Our goal is to use language that is outcome oriented first person accountable moving in the direction of our heart’s desire.  When we use the language of disempowerment we keep our thoughts and emotions in a place of stagnation, non-action, non-productivity.  I will explain.

 

Once you learn this information you will be speaking less.  I will almost guarantee that most of our collective dialog has been about our story, has been a very detailed description of what we’re moving away from rather than moving toward.  How many of you have known that to be true?  And this takes place not only in our external speech but in our internal dialog.  I will continue to use the metaphor that what you are contemplating, because your language is a symbol of your thinking, if you are speaking it, it means you are dwelling upon it.  If you are habitually speaking it, it means you are habitually dwelling upon it.  The temple at which you are praying is the god that will answer you.

 

I did a lot of study in India and the master would say to us in the evening, ‘Now, all the treasures of the three known worlds, the astral, the causal and the physical, can purchase even one human breath, that so precious is this breath of ours because only in this form, the physical body, can we make the greatest level of spiritual progress.  Only in this form.  The physical realm is huge beyond imagination.  The astral realm is supposed to be a thousand times more beautiful than the causal realm.  And the causal is supposedly just that much more beautiful than the astral realm.  The masters would say if a master takes a soul up to the astral realm and the soul is able to see what’s actually there, the soul would never leave.  It would just stay there in the lower astral regions because it is so beautiful.  We’re all our ideal weight at the astral realm.  We all just look stunning.  He would say they would never leave because the astral heavens are so beautiful.  And yet this form of ours is so precious.

 

You know the 7 chakras?  The 7 energy centers of the body?  They are literally the energetic vibration in microcosm of the 7 levels of creation.  This is why they say man and woman are made in the image and likeness of god.  We are the microcosm, energetically, of the entire creation.  We are the model of it.  Only in this form can we make the greatest level of progression in consciousness because we have free will.  Only in this form.  He would say the god for mom, the god that half the world worships, pines for the moment he can take a physical form.  So we’re praying to gods and the gods are saying, ‘hurry up and die so we can be you.’  We’re praying to the angelic realms.  Oh, angels, please come help me and the angels are going, ‘hurry up and get me so I can become human.’  The entire creation is contained within the energetic system of our bodies.

 

The masters would say, ‘In the realm and the great wheel of incarnations available to us, which is 188,000 different species, millions of different forms that a soul can incarnate to, the human form is the top of the ladder.’  Each one of us is coming to fulfil a very specific destiny.  One that only you can fulfil.  Just you.  No one else on the planet can do what you have come here to do.  If you stay trapped in the emotions of the story you have made up your destiny will go unfulfilled and there is nothing more tragic than knowing that you are leaving your body and you’ve yet to do what you’ve come here to do.  I’ve worked years with people with AIDS.  I’ve seen more people die than I care to remember.  And the difference between magnificently glorious death and a horrific one is the fulfillment that person has felt about what they accomplish in their life. 

 

So when we step out into our lives and go, ‘I’m the one.’  By this thought I manifest my world, my heaven or my hell.  I know it, I claim it, I do it.  When you take that kind of stand for your life and your ancestry, you activate and actualize the purpose of why you came.  The master says, ‘When a soul reaches enlightenment, it heals 25 generations back.’  You’re choosing to influence your family.  Get on to the very fact in this moment to create a healing rather than a condemnation.  The next opportunity you have to be with a difficult person, leap at it with an open heart so you can demonstrate to yourself something different.  And do it with love and kindness, with the power of thought, I stand in my light for your victory.  Do you more activate yourself?  Do you more step into the purpose of why you came and therefore fulfil the purpose of why your body is?  You do.

 

See, I have this vision of dancing out of my body.  When I go into the light, there’s going to be this huge party on the other side that says, ‘You finally did it!  You finally came here and did what you were supposed to do.’  All the other countless lifetimes were kind of ….  But this one you finally did it.  What my highest choice is that everyone, because you all have unique visions and unique things to do, that when it’s your time you dance out of your body and there’s a big party on the other side for you because you did what you came here to do.  And that’s what this information is about.

 

I had this thought once I was with someone who was passing away and it was, in my perception, pretty horrific and then about the last five minutes it was so peaceful and I thought Wow – what do I know what vision that person had or what conclusion they came to about their life.  How do I know that?

Transform Your Past To Be Your Greatest Ally For Your Future.

Events In Time

Events In Time

Events are empty unto themselves and our perspectives ascribe the meaning to them which will either transform them into personal and professional benefits or perpetuate our distortion.  Our distortions are generated from the collective experience of our past, therefore the First LAW for a Fulfilling Life is: Transform your past to be Your Greatest Ally for Your Future.

 For any of us to be successful, personally and professionally, we require powerful and trusting alliances within our relationships.  The primary hierarchy of importance in our relationships is first, relationship to oneself.  The second is relationship to others, and the third is relationship to a deeper purpose for which your life contributes back.   Relationships with others are based upon our ability to effectively communicate and our communication is based upon the level of rapport and trust we are capable of establishing.

 One extraordinarily important principle for organizations and families to recognize is each member of the organization affects others and will enhance or contaminate the culture.   According to the Heart Math Research Institute, each individual emanates a resonate field of energy measurable by science that affects other people around them.  This resonate field is created by the overall emotional states the person feels continually.

 The health of your family or your company is based upon the collective thinking patterns of the members within it.  Each person affects the whole of the environment in which they dwell, whether it is home or office, with their thoughts, the language that represents those thoughts and the emotions they produce as a consequence.  Does it make sense that fundamental Life skills to transform thinking and emotions are required for our personal, spiritual and financial success?

 I was conducting a series of trainings for a prominent pharmaceutical company in California in their global safety department, which consisted of approximately twenty highly skilled doctors and research scientists.

The VP of the department had contacted me and communicated that the culture within the department was sliding downhill fast.  The staff was under tremendous pressure with long work hours and impossible deadlines.  The extra stress of personality conflicts was the straw that would break the camel’s back. His primary concern was that he would begin losing his highly qualified staff he had worked so hard to recruit.

   I arrived on the grounds of the company which was like a mini city in its entirety.  With walking paths, child care, a gymnasium, a pool and overlooking the Pacific Ocean:  A rather stunning place to work.

 As I enter the training room and met the team I noticed one individual in the room who seemed defensive and withdrawn before I even opened my mouth.  The team was cordial, alert, but reserved.  As I began the presentation this one individual would barely participate, distracted others and was in overall resistance to learning the communication tools I was presenting. 

 Rather than leave a contaminating personality in the room with the other willing participants, I firmly, and respectfully, asked him to leave the training room.  With every organization I have the privilege of working with, I reserve this right.

 As soon as this doctor left the training room the entire room took a collective breath simultaneously.  The energy of the room relaxed and I observed the tension leaving the bodies of the members of the team.  I stood there wondering could this one individual have this much influence on the stress levels and the growing negative culture of the department.

 I merely had to ask one simple question: “How are you all feeling now?”

Like a monsoon of information, each person shared their frustration with this individual.  He was recently recruited and was one of the medical heads of the department which required much of the work to be approved by.  Story after story came forward about how difficult it was to accomplish the workload after his arrival and how the management could not see it.

 Resentment had built toward the VP, communication lessened because of resentment and the VP did not have enough information to take action. 

The remainder of the trainings went effectively and the culture shifted dramatically after the enactment of the communication tools which were taken onboard by the team.  The resistant doctor entered a coaching program with me, through the request of the VP.  The core experiences which drove his behavior were uncovered and resolved, resulting in him becoming a functional part of the team.  

 My belief is that people affect other people and each one of us has the responsibility to become fully matured in our relationship to ourselves.  By taking responsibility for our own emotional states, getting clarity, having effective conversational and negotiation skills while ceasing the destructive positioning for power and the need to be right, we can reach that mature state in our relationship to ourselves.  Each one of us requires to become fully self aware and have the tools to shift our beliefs, transform our past experiences to retain the wisdom rather than the resentment.  Each one of us requires to become fully responsible for the filters we see our world through, so that we can become as free as we can from over reacting emotions and distortions.

 We require to learn the art of entering into our communication with a genuine desire to enrich our business and personal relationships with authentic conversations and accountability for our emotional states.  When we exhibit flexibility in our approach to others, we view the diversity of other peoples’ perspectives, with understanding and grace, while creating peace within ourselves.

 Here are some foundational principles:

 Principles:

1. Be in physiological rapport with the other person so you have the ability to create an unconscious connection during the conversation.

2. Enter the conversation with the intention to clarify, enrich and empower yourself, and the other person equally.

3. Authentically desire that a win-win occur from the conversation.

4. Be accountable for your part in creating any disagreements in the situation

5. Be fully focused and completely present with the other person.

6. Know that you are creating your own emotional responses and that you have a choice.

 Before you enter a conversation that is important to you, clarify your outcomes with the following questions when you enter the conversation:

 Setting Outcomes:

1. What do you desire?

2. If we both got what we desired what would that look like?

3. What would be your highest choice for the situation?

4. What would it take to make us both feel great?

5. What do you require to feel like we both won?

6. What is your outcome for our conversation?

 Our relationships are the temple we reveal our emotional intelligence and our relationship with ourselves.  The more we can enter our conversations with awareness the greater our relationships will blossom, the more effective we will become and the higher our self esteem and self worth will rise. 

Love & Light
