“The Romance Trap” — If you’re a single woman this is for you!

Here’s a sneak peak at a practical application of the Intentional Prosperity™ philosopy: “The Romance Trap”

That’s right! Gwen and I have been busy working on something that’s really important to both of us — Doing what we can to help any single woman who is ready to find the man of her dreams and get married!

We’ve both been there — wondering if we would ever find true love.

As we enter into our ninth year of marriage, we realized it was time to take the Intentional Prosperity™ philosophy and directly apply it to helping a single woman who is serious about the next stage in her life — getting married.

Why not help single men too? — Most men don’t think they need any help!

We think a more enlightened woman will help inspire a man to also evolve.

Gwen and I paid a lot of dues before we met each other. My first marriage lasted 23 years — then I was single for almost four years. During that short period of time I had to go through a trial and error process. I had to have my heart broken several times.

I knew in my heart, my true love was out there — looking for me.

When I was finally ready I met Gwen.

If you’re a single woman, there’s a lot we have to share with you. Our new book “The Romance Trap” will be available in the next few days. Go to our new web site and let us know what you think.

Gwen will be posting her own blog about “The Romance Trap” very soon.

If you’re a single woman who is ready to get serious about finding the man of your dreams — and getting married — WE’RE GOING TO HELP YOU DO IT!

And that’s a promise!

The Key To A Brand New Life

If somebody walked into your life and calmly announced: “I’ve got the missing key that will unlock the door to a brand new life”– how would you react?

Most people would ignore it.

The thought of taking a single step that could transform their day-to-day reality is frightening: How would it change me? What would be different about my life?

The truth is, most people feel safer not changing anything — even when they know, in their heart of hearts — something needs to change.

There’s an old saying about misery that goes something like this:

“I may be miserable, but at least it’s mine.”

I think that speaks for itself.

Too many of us think that whatever change we are contemplating is something we can deal with at a later time. So we put it on a back burner and over time simply forget about it.

Nothing changes, therefore everything remains the same or so it appears — except the relentless march of time.

Time refuses to go on the back burner — as it ticks away, the passage of time brings us into the future and the inevitability of the very change we once tried to avoid. Only now we’ve lost our ability to manipulate the outcome of the change. What comes, comes.

We choose instead to place the limited window of opportunity on that same back burner. As the future rushes into now, we have to accept what we could have — somewhere in time — changed.

When you ignore or avoid the inevitable — it always becomes your destiny — so don’t be so surprised when what you decided to ignore or deny shows up one day…

The biggest thing in your life!

Living a Half Life

You are only living a half life!

Certainly you can clearly see what I’m saying is true.

If it isn’t obvious to you, then why have you found yourself here reading my words?

Today I was inspired by some words by Thomas Moore.

“When Time who steals our years away
Shall steal our pleasures too,
The mem’ry of the past will stay,
And half our joys renew.”

If the memory of the past does stay and renew half our joys, we’re only living half a life.

Wouldn’t you rather choose the life you live. Defy time and revel in the changing pleasures of life. Living a whole life!

A whole life where you renew your joy daily with gratitude and forgiveness. A life where a year from now you look back and are amazed at the fullness of the life you have been living. Can you see it?

What does your “whole life” look like?

If you want your world to change, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
- Gandhi

“Routine Sex” Is Making You Old And Bitter…

I’m going to make a statement that will be controversial for some of you and for others will ring with the truth–”routine sex” is making you old and bitter.

The majority of women have never had an “all encompassing” deeply satisfying sexual experience–and the majority of men have never fully embraced the “man inside” and mastered his (kundalini) sexual energy — which is necessary for a woman to have a deeply satisfying experience.

Most adults have what I would call “immature” sex. Whatever their earliest experiences with sex happened to be is pretty much what their experience continues to be–for the rest of their lives. In a nut-shell: “body-sex”–which as time goes on, becomes little more than a mechanical routine, instead of one part of the profoundly connecting deeply loving experience between a man and a woman, sexual connection is supposed to be.

Why else do you think divorce rates are above 50% for first time marriages and as high as 70% for second marriages?

The answer is simple: The natural man and natural woman have been systematically erased from our culture. We’re left with images and impressions all based upon “body-sex” which is only one component of the several components necessary for a deeply satisfying sexual connection between a man and a woman.

Your culture is selling you a bill of goods when it comes to sex.

You’re constantly being titillated, teased and manipulated by images, impressions and feelings that are the false promise of “body-sex”. Without connection, love and true intimacy, sex is fleeting, forgettable, unsatisfying and empty.

It leaves you feeling that something is missing in your life because the most basic primal need you have is not being addressed–which is worse if you happen to be married! Don’t think for a minute that your spouse isn’t feeling the very same thing! He or she is–absolutely!

Not verbalizing how he or shel feels, to you, is part of the “cultural conditioning” problem.

Sex isn’t important? Go ahead–live your life and make the best of things–loosing yourself in your day-to-day life activities–which at the end of the day also seem un-fulfilling, empty and directionless. Robbed of your natural sexual energies–being amplified–your life will feel incomplete and directionless. No amount of distraction or escapism is going to fill that void or change anything.

You can’t live a full life by ignoring or outright denying one of nature’s most powerful natural sources of joy, fulfillment, grounding, connection, intimacy and amplified life energy–which is possible between a man and a woman. It’s in our DNA and it’s how men and women are hard-wired.

You can’t continue to go through the superficial motions of body-sex–only to feel empty and wanting more–you have to do something about it or you will become old and bitter before your time.

I told you this was going to be controversial.

Living Your Dream Life…Now!

In order to discuss living your dream life, I need to tell you a little about mine:

I remember staying overnight at a lodge in Yellowstone Park a few years ago. I thought having a herd of deer meandering though the parking lot (clearly visible from the window in my room) had to be one of the coolest things I’d ever experienced… To be so close to nature–deer casually walking through your world was a normal experience.

Fast forward ten or so years…

There’s a herd of nine deer that beds down every night on my property. About 200 ft from my front deck. That’s right, the cool fantasy of being so closely connected to nature is the reality I’m now living.

I don’t live in Yellowstone National Park. I’m about 150 miles away as the crow flies. Gwen and I designed and built our dream house (in 2001) on the side of a mountain overlooking the Elkhorn Mountain range in Southwestern Montana.

The herd of deer was an unexpected surprise.

It seems that every fantasy I had about living in Montana has come true. I should add however, that I moved here in 1984 and had lived in the city (Helena, the state capitol) until I met Gwen. So I had plenty of time to get to know what I wanted. Many “Yellowstone” type experiences–which became an essential part of what my ideal Montana experience would “feel” like.

When the time came to create our own “land of magic” all of those idyllic scenes and feelings suddenly appeared. Many I had forgotten about as the years passed and was pleasantly surprised to realize “oh yeah, I always wanted that!”–was now a part of my personal discovery process–as I became more aware of the details of my dream life.

You’ve been collecting bits and pieces of your own dream life.

Either you’re now living the result of that accumulation or you’re not. If you’re not it’s because you’re afraid to. Your current day-to-day life makes you think and feel like you’re locked in–I know, I felt that way for far too many years.

For years I thought about a dream house with a world-class recording studio on the side of a mountain… In my case, I had to first find true love–which for me was the most important thing in my life. Then the rest seemed to flow from there. Building my dream house was the most natural thing I had ever done. Yet it took 17 years from the time I moved to Montana for it to happen.

There were a lot of barriers in my day-to-day reality that had to be removed. Then the dream poured forth like so many bottles of paint on a blank canvass–triggered by my intent–and knowingness that the time was right.

The inspirational journey Gwen and I have taken since we met almost nine years ago is the basis of the Intentional Prosperity™ System. Being able to consciously manifest your dreams at will–is the result of identifying a duplicatable and repeatable manifestation process.

Making your dreams come true is not a matter of luck–yet the experience feels that way, because everything unfolds in a manner which defies coincidence.

I’d be honored to show you what I’ve learned

-Bob Baran
