Having It ALL?

Since I have seen and believe that

the only real purpose we have on this plane,

in our physical realm, is to feel Happy and Joyfilled,

there seems absolutely no reason that we , as individuals,

could come up with, find or subject ourselves to

that would make sense or lead us to any other condition to live in!

Live in your Own Created Abundance

Be True To Yourself Even When Others Don't Want You To!


Waiting on others to approve a change

you know you must make in your own life --

an action you must take that will likely lessen

your dependency upon them, and perhaps drive them

to make changes in their habitual choices --

is like hoping that a snowman looks forward to a spring thaw.

The Reality Behind the Need for Realizing New Relationships


As a result of my deepening interest in truthful ideas,

quite a few of my friends feel I have gone off the deep end,

and I have noticed a growing separation between us

as I work more and more for my own spiritual freedom.

It is not that I don't care for them, but rather

I am becoming less concerned about the things

that have always driven all of us.

My fear is they will eventually want

to have nothing to do with me.

Is it normal for friendships to pass as people change their life and level?

Is this what Christ meant when he said, "Let the dead bury their dead"?

Yes, quite often old friends will fall away as you work

on changing your interior relationship and begin

seeing more about this life and its true purpose.

Think of the company that a caterpillar keeps and then,

as it is transformed, how its new friends have wings and inhabit the sky.

Letting go of those who want to remain earthbound

is at least in part the true inner meaning of

this passage of Christ's that you have cited.

Because I see it as counterproductive to my spiritual work,

I have recently stopped sharing my negative states

with a person near and dear to me,

a friend who is also a practicing psychotherapist.

Now he seems threatened by this new action on my part.

He sees "sharing one's feelings" as the way

to achieve and maintain intimacy.

I don't feel that I can go back to the relationship the way it was.

Can you comment on this?

Congratulations! Through your inner work,

you have stumbled onto a great discovery.

Your sensing and understanding of this change

in relationship is accurate.

This person needs to feed on your weaknesses

in order to feel strong. By your refusing

to supply the food (of negative concerns),

the creature feeding suddenly shows itself.

Don't be afraid to see all of this and its implications.

The change that must occur as a result

of your choice not to be in a conspiracy of woes

will be the dawning of a new

and higher consciousness within yourself.

How do we find others who are also

searching for their true selves?

At times the search causes us to leave former friends behind --

not because we are better, but because we are different.

Here is a highly encouraging thought:

The study of Truth leads us to those relationships

that are beneficial to the Truth we are studying.

It could be said that as you grow in your love of Truth/God,

your newly emerging nature is a law unto itself

that naturally repels what is dissimilar to it

and likewise attracts what is helpful, healthy, and loving.

In short, while it is good to find others who are interested

in the Truth as a part of our own free will,

the search for others who are embracing their true nature

is ultimately directed by our own wish for the Truth.

I am having trouble understanding how to leave

relationships with my friends and family alone.

It seems that the changes I feel are affecting them,

but neither they nor I understand some of these changes.

It is an extremely confusing time for everyone in my life.

Can you help me ease this effect?

The Truth asks us to give it its way in our lives.

The relationships established before the dawning

of any such light within us are naturally going to be

put through necessary changes by the inclusion

of this new understanding as it dawns within us.

Try to understand that we live in a world

of which we see only a tiny, tiny part.

But even in those small glimpses of our physical reality

can we see hints of the celestial one.

What happens to the creatures living in any environment

when that environment is changed?

Some naturally stay, some must leave, and most importantly,

as it concerns our work, new creatures are attracted.

Continue with your work.

Be willing to let the chips fall where they may

with all of your relationships. Be kind, but above all, be true.

The rest will take care of itself.

At times it seems to me that the more I realize

about the awesome nature of spiritual love,

the more loneliness I feel in my current human relationships.

I long to share my discoveries with others,

but who do I turn to?

A certain kind of loneliness, of feeling ourselves all alone,

is a necessary portion of the path to the higher life.

This sense of being alone comes out of realizing

what are the inherent limitations in our actual relationships

in this life, combined with a growing spiritual longing

to commune with others in a deep and meaningful way.

Go through this. We easily forget that there is a God,

a Great Intelligence that guides the steps of anyone

willing to put Him/Truth before all else.

This same Intelligence will lead you to new relationships,

inner and outer ones, in which not only will you

be able to express the love you feel for the Truth,

but this same love will fill you as well.

The Gift of Being You!

You may be just beginning,

already into your day or

about to go off to sleepville for a pleasant rest of your working mind.

Where ever you are at the moment,

STOP!

Take a minute or preferably 5 minutes

and do the most important thing you can do for yourself,

Slow your mind and come to a quieter place in your thoughts!

It may take a few minutes or tries even to get accustomed

to putting on the brakes to all of the thought activity.

It is worth it, please believe me on this one point if nothing else, ever.

This is where it all happens!

In this very moment or nano second

as you begin to decrease the speed

of the millions of thoughts that you process

there is a glimpse of something else there

besides your thoughts.

There is peace as the backdrop to all your thoughts!

There is true guidance,

well being, love and appreciation

for yourself and it all comes back to you there.

The real reason you are here,

"to be Joyful, Happy and continue the expansion of creation

through your discovery and expression of that Joy"

in each and every blip of our time,

makes all the difference to YOU and you and to ALL.

Start right now!

Begin by shifting gears.

Make a written or mental list

of all that you appreciate

in your immediate surroundings.

Start with where you are sitting or lying

and branch out from there.

List all of the people, things, places, colors, temps. conditions

list everything you can think of that you appreciate.

When you are complete for the time

relax into that appreciation and stay present

in it as you go softly and deeply into your SELF

The real Knowing that you are here to do just this.

Appreciate all around you and extract all of the joy and

love and appreciation and gold out of each moment you experience.

Mine your thoughts for the luscious gold they bring to you

Your happiness in the moment is your guide!

You - In the Power Position

As you make the decision that you are not

a mere observer of your world,

but a deliberate and positive contributor to your world,

you will find great pleasure in your involvement

with what is going on upon your planet and in you life.

You cannot be in a place other than where you are right now,

but you do have the power to begin to express your perspective

about where you are in increasingly better ways.

And as you do that consciously and deliberately,

you will see the evidence of the power of your focus

on every subject to which you turn your attention.

As you make the decision that you want to feel good

and you consciously look for positive aspects

within the subjects that you are involved in every day,

and as you deliberately identify and focus

upon what you do want regarding those subjects,

you will set your self upon

a path of Eternal unfolding

Satisfaction and Joy.

Lies/Beliefs

"Ninety-five percent of the beliefs we have stored in our minds

are nothing but lies,

and we suffer because we believe all these lies."

The Power Of This Very Moment

Make this your mediation for today and see what happens!

Everything is much simpler than you have thought,

because this moment, where all your power is,

is the only moment in which you can activate a vibration.

Oh, you can activate a vibration about something

that happened a long time ago - but you're doing it

NOW!

You can remember something that happened

a long time ago, or yesterday - but you're doing it

NOW!

You can anticipate something that will happen tomorrow,

or ten years from now - but you're doing it

NOW!

So, whatever you think, causes you to offer a signal,

NOW!

which is your point of attraction.

And when you offer a point of attraction

for as little as 17 seconds,

the Law of Attraction kicks in.

In other words, that's the combustion point,

where another thought that matches it, joins it.

Hold that thought for another 17 seconds

and there's another combustion.

Do that until you have achieved

a vibrational alignment with any thought

for as little as 68 seconds,

and things begin to move enough

that a discerning eye can see

the manifestation has begun.

That's all: 68 seconds of

telling it the way you want it to be

rather than telling it like it is.

Are there things in your life that are

as you want them to be?

Keep telling that story!

Are there things in your life that are

not as you want them to be?

Don't tell that story

Karma???

"One meaning of Karma which is popularly accepted is that it is one's destiny, or fate, the inescapable 'writing' on the brow, which has to work itself out. There is no escaping it.
Bu people forget that it is not written by some other hand. It is all written by one's own hand. And, the hand that wrote it can also wipe it off."

Charles DiFazio - Appollonius - The Divine Magician

Us - In Coupledom

The following is a slightly modified excerpt from Elizabeth Gilberts book "Committed"

"As a couple, some of our differences are significant, others not so much,

but all of them are inalterable.

In the end, it seems that forgiveness may be the only realistic antidote

we are offered in love, to combat the inescapable disappointments of intimacy.

We humans come into this world - as Aristophanes so beautifully explained -

feeling as though we have been sawed in half,

desperate to find somebody who will recognize us and repair us. (Or re-pair-us.)

Desire is the severed umbilicus that is always with us,

always bleeding and wanting and longing for flawless union.

Forgiveness is the nurse who knows that such immaculate mergers are impossible,

but that maybe we can live on together anyhow

if we are polite and kind and careful not to spill too much blood.

There are moments when we can almost see the space that separates us

-and that always will separate us-

despite how our life long yearnings to be rendered whole by somebody else's love,

despite all our efforts over the years to find someone who would be perfect for us and

who, in turn, would allow us to become some sort of perfected being.

Instead, our dissimilarities and our faults hover between us always, like a shadowy wave.

But sometimes, out of the corner of our eyes,

we catch a glimpse of Intimacy herself,

balancing right there on the very wave of difference

-actually standing there right between us -

actually (heaven help us) standing a chance.

Take a look, Have Happiness NOW!

Stop Going Nowhere Fast!

Running from yourself is the fastest way to go nowhere!


Real Change Begins with Honest Self-Investigation

Nothing seems harder to accept than the fact that we are responsible for so much of what proves to be unnecessary suffering. But we must challenge this involuntary, often intractable refusal to consider such ideas. The truth is that we are actively involved with unseen thoughts and feelings that compromise us. Without the self-knowledge we need to nullify this conflicted condition in our psyche, how can we hope to end the heartaches that begin there? How can we hope to heal something we won't even look at!

On the other hand, nothing is healthier for us than the beautiful process of awakening to how we have been unwittingly involved in our own suffering. We stand in good company when we consent to see these truths within ourselves. All truth teachings agree: freedom from compulsive or otherwise self-wrecking behavior begins with recognizing that we have been unknowingly serving what makes us suffer. Yes, awakening to what has been an unseen conflict in us is a challenge, but this interior work of self-realization is more than offset by the rewards gained for our efforts. Here's why:

Conscious awareness of ourselves is one and the same as living in the Now. It is the seed of a new action whose flowering is a self-wholeness that is inseparable from the higher freedom we seek. Most of us have felt, somewhere along the line of our life, a silent prompting to realize the truth of ourselves, even though we may not have recognized it as such. For instance, at some point we have all felt, intuitively if nothing else, that we are not created to live with mental torment of any kind -- that we are meant to be more than hapless victims forced to yield to passing conditions. This is a true intuition.

We are not made by that Great Intelligence that balances whole star systems, to suffer from the conflict that arises from an unbalanced understanding of our own essential nature! This is why if we ever wish to gain conscious control over our present nature -- along with what it attracts into our life -- we must gain what the great saints and mystics have always held in the highest esteem: true self-knowledge. But this needed higher knowledge cannot be acquired from sources outside of us; it must be gained through personal self-discovery. Only real changes in the level of self-understanding can help us effect real changes in our present nature, for the two are very much related. Change one and we change the other, including what it has been attracting into our lives.

We're back from the Abraham Caribbean Cruise

Oh Man, Oh Man!!

We had a amazingly splendid time on the cruise along with the 700 other Abraham-Hicks seminar attendees and playing in the islands of the Caribbean last week. We are back and full of love and hope for ourselves and the planet. We met so many great, loving and happy filled people. It was challenging to want to leave the cruise ship after experiencing such JOY!

I will be back tomorrow with a post revolving around some interesting

(if you like these sorts of things)

statistics about marriage from a famous contemporary report that was produced not to long ago.

Till then... find a way to be where you are and move yourself just a bit further toward being even happier. Think a thought right now that feels happier to you.

Imagine that it is all that you are here for; to be happy

Bye for now!

Cruise Day

Today we leave for a week long cruise with Esther and Jerry Hicks and the Abraham group.
We will be doing workshops with Abraham all week as we visit warm tropical Islands in the Caribbean.
Puerto Rico - where we will visit our friend Hilda and go to the rain forest
St. Thomas - where we will see friends Dan and Laurie who re on St John
Grand Turks
Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas
We are excited to go, to be with them to participate and to make new friends
I most likely will not have total Internet access and may not post for this time but look forward to sharing it all on the blog when I return. Until then be gentle with your self, love deeply and be spirit filled.

Things That Come Up

“Spiritual progress is like detoxification. Things have to come up in order to be released. Once we have asked to be healed, then our unhealed places are forced to the surface.”

Marianne Williamson

Advice to a Longing Individual!

I have closely guarded my heart and feel somewhat reluctant to
let someone in all the way. I just don't know HOW to do that or
WHAT that should look like or feel like. What can I do to open
my heart, to let someone in so I can connect on a deeper level?
How do I learn to be vulnerable so that I can better connect with
the love of my life? What can you suggest to me?

The good news is, “You can start from right where you are. There’s no need to hold on to or repeat the past indefinitely!” You obviously know what you want as an end result (this is of primary importance) but, you seem to be able to thwart your own efforts in having that. You are not alone!
If you are not attracting the love of your life to you then it is wise to look at what you are attracting and how. One effective, relatively quick, way of doing that is to do a specific program that will allow you to get clear for your self what your personal requirements, needs and wants are in the way of an intimate love relationship. I mean really clear! Your “Work” to uncover these things will soon allow you to be sending clear signals and collecting the signs for who matches your requirements and shares your values and commitment to a healthy, loving, vibrant, fulfilling, life long, intimate relationship. It is possible and worth it! Find a mentor, coach or mastermind group to help you facilitate the process and share in your success!

When You're In Alignment, You Know!

If you have a Car or have driven one, you intrinsically know what it feels like when your car is in alignment; It goes where you point it, as you cruise down the highway the car goes straight almost effortlessly, the wheel stays straight in position even when you remove your hands from it, there's no pulling or vibration or strain in going where you want to go. It feels good and as it should be. The same is true with our lives with one big, noticeable difference. When the car is in alignment the car is in alignment and that's it. No one congratulates, supports, enhances, appreciates or even notices it.

When we are in personal alignment

with our purpose and passion,

the Universe, Source, notices.

All things, people, places and results begin to alter in order to support and enhance your current and future experiences. This mysteriously happens not only to allow you to continue to be in alignment but works to bring all that you experience into focus abundantly, exponentially and seemingly magically, and here's the best part, without effort. You feel great and things fall in to place that may have previously seemed impossible.

Out of alignment condition or symptoms with a vehicle have a lot of similarity with our human "out of alignment" condition or symptoms. They are usually experienced as something feeling different or not quite right or as it should be. When these symptoms occur they also do not usually happen abruptly, over night, but happen a little over time.

At first it is actually noticeable but, being only a slight deviation from the norm in sound or feel, it is actually avoidable. And because we believe that it is really not causing a major issue we just let it go or deal with it as it is. Sometimes, we just let go because of the variety of reasons that we can present to not manage these types of things. Until it finally gets to the point that it can't be avoided anymore or has caused some other issue to seem as if it has been caused by the out of alignment. More often that not though, out of alignment is caused by some wear in a part of the whole system that required attention that we didn't even know how to detect or know that it needed attention.

When you begin to notice an "out of personal alignment" things seem not to fall into place easily you begin to notice there is something off in what you think or feel, in your everyday experiences, that you say shouldn't be happening. There may be this slight difference in the way you steer yourself through the day or week or you feel that slight pull to the side as you attempt to go straight. You also probably know intuitively, even if you're not mechanically inclined, that something is not right or just doesn't feel right.

At this very moment, just as with the car,

what you choose to physically do,

whether in the midst of driving your car or

navigating personally through your day,

is not really of much importance!

While the car is pulling to the left, over steering to the right does not resolve the issue or fix the problem. You may be able to get where you're going but you still know something has to be done. Likewise, you know when you're feeling off that you can make it through the day or week but that making it through by avoiding or doing what ever you do to steer clear of the problem does not really resolve it but, only serves to delay the inevitable. Something has to be adjusted in order to have it or us, back in full flow and in alignment with what we want and desire for ourselves.

So, if there is nothing physically to do for us to get back to alignment what then is our option?
It is really quite simple but can also be challenging at first. Although if you take this on you will see almost immediate results.

Monitor the thoughts you are thinking!

Alter your thoughts to those that are pointed in the right direction!

What you want and where you want to be for your life

are of the utmost importance!

Think yourself into position and feel when you are on track or off track!

The thoughts that you think are the worn pieces that need to be replaced before the alignment can happen.

Your feelings are what tell you if you're on or off track!

Feeling Bad?

You're not thinking thoughts that are aimed in the right place, you're out of alignment.

Feeling good?

You're on track and you are aligned with your wants and desires.

Feeling Bad or Good!

You will get unconditional support from Source either way!

I am most willing, if you are ready, to assist you in determining what your thoughts are that are keeping you away from what you want and getting you back into alignment.

This is what coaches do best. We love it!

If you're ready, contact me at 1extraordinarycoach@gmail.com or call me at 860-209-9254.

In my next post, I will give you at least one real life inspiring example of what happens to someone when they get in alignment by changing their thoughts towards what they want instead of continuing on with an unsuitable set of circumstances.

Take Quiet Command of Stormy Thoughts and Feelings!

Stormy thoughts and feelings can no more overcome

your quiet awareness of them,

than do rain drops have the power to wash away

the sky through which they pour.

My Response to a Pondering Wise Man!

Ask the Coach!

Communication Skills: How can Improve them?

I'm not a great communicator and that creates challenges for my wife who is much more skilled in that area. When we have disagreements, when we're trying to work through relationship things, I have difficulty feeling heard, expressing my ideas, etc.

Because of that, I get defensive and either close down or get angry which just escalates into an argument. That, of course, doesn't work well for either of us and leads to hurt feelings, regret for saying things we shouldn't have and the like.
I need a better way for us to communicate and I need to learn some better skills.

I love my wife and I want her to be happy,

and I know I need to understand what I can do to create a better situation for both of us.

So my questions are --

What can I do to be a better communicator, and what can we do, as a couple, to communicate better with each other?

Thoughts?

I am so glad you asked!!!

Stop, in this moment, acknowledging what’s so about your communication skills

and commit to obtaining your desire anew, right here, right now!
Begin, at once, saying what you want to be so for you.

I see that you are already capable of doing this “wanting projection”

when I read that you want your wife to be happy.

Now do that same projection for yourself, in this area of desire!

Do you want to be defensive, unheard, angry or closed off?

I think not!

Your natural highest desire is calling you into what you do want; easy going, heard, happy and open to your wife and others, as evidenced by your very questioning.

(which is obviously the opposite end of those original statements)

In order to achieve that; think, speak & seek evidence for only what you do want.

Each time you have the experience of or notice your way of life not being what you want,

which feels bad to you,

catch yourself and think in that moment,

"What can I think, say and do, right now that will make me feel good?”

If your aim is here, your world and that of your wife’s will alter in the moment

and your communication will shift as well.

Immediately!

Have it your way!!

Shape Shifting - At It's Scariest and Best

I need to tell you that my life changed today!
It has been coming for a while and the last two weeks have been, being honest, a very difficult challenge. Sometimes to the point where I was not sure that I was willing to go the whole way through this process (again).
I was so challenged by this personal metamorphosis, that I was thinking and believing that I really may not ever be able to have my requirements met in my most intimate relationship.

Then on Wednesday, after yet another argument with Meg, maybe the fifth or sixth day (or was it 3 weeks) of consecutive daily arguments, where I was again, damn near, resigned to the fact that my requirements were not getting met and that she didn't care to ry to meet them that, I got really angry, threw stuff and walked away.
Cussin and spittin!
It was in the moments that immediately followed, that the light turned on for me. I was all of a sudden, instantly able to see something, still not fully clear, about me that was, not just present in my life with Meg but, was spread across and predominant in all areas of my life.
I went back to attempt to talk and to explain it to Meg but, still what came out of my mouth were words that had not yet caught up with where I was heading, or so I thought.
I was still saying, "This is who I am, I am like this with everybody, I like being like this, I have developed this way of being for a reason, if you can't be with this then perhaps we are over as a couple!" But it was in my saying these things that it actually popped. Like the sound of when one of your bones break or your shoulder come sout of it's socket. Something popped and I was now about to see and hear what it was.
It happened to be the words captured and surrounded within the string of words I had just spewed, that were the key to unlock the door to my next level of personal freedom.

I said, " I am Like This With Everybody."
As soon as my mind heard those words my intensity trailed off. It realized that it had just solved its own dilemma. The questions started filing in; Is this why you feel so disappointed with most everyone you come in contact with daily? Is this why you are never satisfied with how you are treated in restaurants, stores, on the phone with customers, representatives, sales people, customer service attendants, literally everyone?
Is this what creates your constant unease and general dissatisfaction in life no matter what you do? Could it be that this is what generates your obvious discord and prevents you from being truly happy?
Am I really, really responsible for the way my life is occurring at this level? Is it really me?

The answer was unavoidable. It was true. It was me and the very way I have been holding others responsible for my own happiness; seamlessly embedded into my way of being that looked perfectly as if it was them, all of them. This is the second time in my life where I am absolutely certain and aware of the consciousness shift that has taken place with full knowledge that there is no returning to the way It was.
Holy Shit and Thanks to Source, both at the same time in the very same breath and thought.

I saw that I had a broadcast, intense and fully networked, yet undisclosed to the purveyor, set of expectations that was running the show in all categories and undermining my ability to have Full Joy, as an option, in my life. The expectations excluded my opportunity to have that Joy!
Today, at the very moment of argument outset, of what was quickly going to escalate to a full out yelling match, based, yet again, on the fact that Meg was not meeting my unspoken expectation in this moment; I was able to stop it, immediately, on the spot and choose to have peace and joy with her. In that instant, and it really did happen in litterally 5 seconds or less, both of us were warped back to the happy life we are committed to expressing as our intent and intending to live out daily.
It was that simple and took that much awareness on my part. Sounds simple but it was a process that took many more, countless more 5 second periods stacked on top of each other.
My mind wanted to engage but my heart and commitment took over and in that instant it was gone.
It happened in a way that I wished had been easier to get to but, was so miraculous, in the moment, that I experienced floating on air and the precious shift that occurs emotionally that assures you that you have crossed the bridge.
Sweet Liberation and Peace emanated from my soul and well being was the sentiment.

Now ,I am not scientifically certain that what occurred for me actually caused the shift for Meg but,, in that moment it was simultaneous. She shifted as well her world got lighter and we simply got on with living our moments together in love and wellness.

Then, later on in the afternoon, Meg and I were in the truck with Jazz, heading to the beach and the driving range and Meg shared that she wants to included the things we are really excited about into our daily appreciations and also to live a life where she is and, hopefully we are, expressing ourselves with excitement when we are experiencing all the aspects of our life.

You cannot imagine how awesome this was for me to hear this. I have been asking, nay, begging, Meg to come off of the center line where she has been living life, where everything is just alright and OK, for many years. And now, here she is declaring that that is how she wants to live her life. EXCITED! Well, I am excited too!
I yawned when she said it just to add a little smack to the moment and she laughed. Of course she did, she's excited.
This is truly a miracle in our lives. The fact that my revelation and shift occurred today may not be the reason that hers did in this area but, it is too much of a coincidence to not link them together.
What an experience! The truth revealed once again. They do not bring it to the processing table we do! I do! I did! AMEN!

You have got to see this!

Get a whole new perspective on aging and keeping your car going too!
Talk about long term relationships, this lady's got it going on!

Aprreciation - From the Source!

Having a joyful life does not have to be hard.

In fact it is exactly the opposite!

Take 5 Minutes this morning or at lunch and just sit a list all of the things your are appreciative of in your life.

Say nothing else for those 5 minutes, just I appreciate; (and begin the list here)

If you have paper and pen with you then write them down too.

If you are with someone, take the chance and share what you appreciate about your life and them being in your life.

You will be amazed at the lightness that you feel and the shift that occurs in the moment.

I appreciate that you are willing to take this on and change your world as a result!
