“Heavenly Body” And Intentional Creativity

“Heavenly Body” from The Life On Mars – A music video
composed, performed and produced by Bob Baran.

Intentional creativity — the imagination unleashed!

I’ve mentioned many times that the very same principles and techniques presented in “The Intentional Prosperity™ System” were responsible for my being able to achieve many artistic breakthroughs with my music.

I wanted to share with you a track from my album (released a few years ago) “The Life On Mars” titled: “Heavenly Body”. I combined images from the NASA / Hubble Telescope along with the music.

I composed, performed and produced the music as a stream of consciousness composition. Using intentional creativity — I was able to sit down in my studio and compose the music without having any idea what the first note or the last note of the composition was going to be. You could say I “channeled” it directly from my imagination. You can hear full stereo sound clips of the album at gatheringwave.com or the itunes music store and just about every other online music store.

Intentional creativity allowed me to create instantaneous music.

I’ll be adding an article about this creative process to the Intentional Prosperity™ site — with this music video in the near future — I wanted you to see and hear it first.

I hope you enjoy this music video and please feel free to share the video with your friends… By the way, YouTube converted the expansive three-dimensional stereo music track into a “mono” track –
ahh, the limitations of a free service!

If you have any questions or comments about the video or the creative process I used please email me at bobbaran@mt.net or use the chat feature on the Intentional Prosperity™ web site.

Living Your Dreams… It’s Never Too Late!

It’s never to late to be living your dreams!

Bob proved this when we started a record label featuring his music a few years back. And recently another dream has unfolded… A music video! Created for our “The Romance Trap” web site — it features “Always I’m Dreaming” from Bob’s album “Bridge To An Open Heart”.

We chose this song because of the powerful message it contains — It was Bob’s love song to the woman of his dreams — He wrote the song, played all the instruments and did the vocals too — and it was the first song he ever played for me!

A music video for “Heavenly Body” from Bob’s album “The Life On Mars” — featuring amazing images from the Hubble telescope will be available very soon — I’ll keep you posted.

If you haven’t already seen “Always I’m Dreaming”, you can watch it now…

Don’t forget — It’s never too late to start living your dreams. You can begin today. If you need help — A little direction — more focus — give us a call… 406-475-3458 or email us prosper@intentionalprosperity.com

“Finding Forrester” and Focus…

What does the movie “Finding Forrester” — a story about a budding author — and focus have to do with the Intentional Prosperity™ System?

Read on and I’ll tell you…

When confronted with a blank page what do you do? Has writing ever been a part of your life? I’m asking because I just saw the movie “Finding Forrester” again. I had forgotten what a wonderful film it is.

The lack of belief from one teacher could have wrongfully ruined a young man’s chances to live his dream. But the encouragement and support of another helps give him wings.

What do you want to accomplish in your life? Have you been putting your dreams on hold? Has someone’s disbelief grounded your passion?

There are so many different reasons why we don’t do the things that really bring us passion and joy… The things that light up our lives, instill hope and give us energy.

As we age we may think we’ll never get to our dreams. We waited too long or there’s no juice or energy.

If the juice is gone maybe it really wasn’t a true passion. Energy on the other and can be brought back by focus… By taking the steps toward accomplishing your dream.

One of the most useful steps in reaching your dreams is focus. Focus first on your heart. When writing, Sean Connery’s character William Forrester says, “First write from your heart, then write from your head.”

Get out a notepad and sit down in a place where you won’t be disturbed. Begin writing. Focus on what dreams you’ve been putting on hold. How do you feel in your heart about these dreams? Write from your heart.

After you’ve written all you can, go back and read what you’ve written. Can you now see the dream that is closest to your heart? Can you see a step that will help you get closer to your dream? Can you see what you do to distract yourself from taking that step? Can you see how you’ve allowed someone else’s attitude or opinion to hold you back?

Whatever the reason you’ve given yourself for not taking the steps to achieve what’s burning inside of you – if it’s still burning — it’s time to take action!

Go back to what you wrote and now use your head. What steps did your heart show you? What distractions came up? When your attention is being pulled this way and that, recognize that it is a distraction tactic of your mind.

Focus on what is most important to you NOW. Don’t let the other items on your “want to do” or “have to do” list distract you. If they’re really important they will still be there when you come out of your focus and then you’ll be ready — and have the energy to focus on them.

(Don’t forget to take care of yourself, remember to eat, feed or water any animals, plants or family you may have and pay the bills. Or if you can — arrange to have all of those things taken care of while you immerse yourself in your dream. You’ve waited long enough. All else can wait.)

Again, if you have a dream burning inside of you — IT IS TIME — to take the action to bring it to life. Let the dream inspire the next steps of your life.

The advice on writing in “Finding Forrester” helped me remember that when we put our focus on something and don’t let anything else distract us, we’re given an incredible amount of energy to accomplish the task we’ve imbued with our focus. This is a part of the Intentional Prosperity™ philosophy.

To your success focusing on your dreams,

How Intentional Prosperity™ Came to Be…

Have you heard the story of how Intentional Prosperity came to be?

Bob is an amazing composer who’s able to sit down with an instrument and play without knowing what the first note or the last note will be. This form of composition is known as “stream of consciousness” or as we call it “Quantum Consciousness Composition”.

In the summer of 2006, he sat down and in less than 2 hours created an album of solo piano music that was so incredible that it made it onto the Grammy ballot in 4 categories.

This momentous event, following so many others since we had met, made us stop and question — “What’s going on?” — We knew there had to be a repeatable process since we were repeatedly achieving our dreams and beyond.

We stopped everything and examined how we had gotten to where we were and figured out how to share that process with you — the result was “The Intentional Prosperity™ System”. An operating manual for life that clearly explains how you got to where you are and shows you how to get to where you want to be.

Today we made our way back to the music — with the release of our first music video. You can watch it and read the story behind it at www.RomanceTrap.com.

Whether you’re looking for True Love, a way to Succeed in Life or Music born in the instance of creation, we can help. Visit our parent company website at: www.GatheringWave.com to access any of our sites.

Have a wonderful week and don’t forget to watch the video, “Always I’m Dreaming”!

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
