When “Why” Finally Makes You Cry

When “why” makes you cry…

Great change will come over you in that moment of clarity. All the layers of posturing - compromising - and excuses you based your life on -  no longer hold your attention and distract you… Your life isn’t working and you can’t deny it any longer.  You find yourself standing alone because the false light of your rationale has led you to a dead-end

Now with nothing left to hang on to - you finally let go.

Unburdening yourself in a deep catharsis - you begin to sob at first from  frustration and confusion - and then the tears flow from the realization that you’ve come so far away from your heart.

In that moment you reach your true self… That place beyond your ego.

No more mind games - no more excuses.  You realize you can’t do it by yourself - you never really could. You are finally ready:

So you ask for help from a power greater than your ability to imagine.

You open yourself to all possibilities.

Finally throwing off the limitations of your own narrow minded rationalizations.

And in the instant you ask - a great wave of healing energy begins to overwhelm you.  All your fear, uncertainty and doubt is swept away.

You are no longer the prisoner of your own mind - and a profound knowingness comes over you  as a clear vision of what can be - you feel it as if it is already is so.

Your life has become transformed.

You know your destination and embrace the adventure that now lies ahead.  You don’t know how you are going to get “there” - you just know that you will.

You have found your mission - your “why” - your heart.

Your true self.

My Letter To Ryan…

I just finished writing this letter to Ryan.

He’d asked me if Intentional Prosperity™ was like the law of attraction. By the time I finished it I realized it would make a good posting - so here goes:

Ryan,

The law of attraction is only one part of a number aspects that need to be in balance - within you - in order for you to consciously focus your attention on a consistent basis - coupled with consistent action - which will put you into the “zone” where you begin to “see” what you hadn’t seen before…

- and have the natural confidence - what I call “knowingness” - to act upon the possibilities and opportunities that are always around you - but you’ve not recognized because of how you’ve been “set up” (by your “programming”) to process the information coming through your five senses.

Now imagine for a moment that all things you desire are already here - existing as a potential reality for you to experience.  The only thing that separates you from what you desire is what your attitudes, opinions and beliefs are preventing you from “seeing - understanding - and having the natural confidence to act upon”.

In other words,  you are just a few relationships away - at any given time - from being “in the right place at the right time” which provides you with the opportunity to experience what it is you desire.

The process is always a double-edged sword however.  Your “intent” determines the outcome.  This means you  can use the “process” to bring your life crashing and burning around you - or you can use it to expand your natural ability to handle an ever growing flow of life and expansion of what you experience as “good”.

It all comes down to your intention.

If your intention is good - it means you desire what is good for others as well as what is good for you.  If your intention is “bad” - it means you’re looking out only for yourself - you win while somebody loses…

If your basic intention is “good” things will always work out better than you imagined.  If your basic intention is “bad” things will always work out worse than you expected.

Here’s the most amazing part of always working from the most honest part of yourself:

Even if you make a decision based upon “faulty information” but your intent was “good” - you will always be given the opportunity - from your growing ability to recognize “truth” - to recognize and fix the “bad” decision and still have everything work out okay.  I call it “the principle of an honest mistake”.

Your good heart and honesty will always be your most powerful assets in your life.

Remember:  The law of attraction - consciously practiced - is the end result of understanding the ramifications of your current attitudes, opinions and beliefs - and taking back control over those things you can control within yourself  as well as  how you react to situations in your day-to-day life.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to write this to you… I’m going to use it for a blog posting!

Warmest Regards

Linking To Your Dreams: Part Two

Each flavor/essence you have linked to also represents a particular pathway in your day-to-day life.  

As you may already know if you’ve been following this blog - a pathway is very much like a “channel” in which what you desire - can move toward you and you toward it.

Remember:  The time it takes to manifest a dream is always limited to the pathways which you have in place at any given time.

The more pathways - which are the relationships, situations and things -  and other links you already have in place - you create -  the faster you are able to manifest…

Back to the dream cake:

By focusing upon the unique flavor which represents your dream - instead of attempting to rationalize how it’s going to look and feel with the limiting aspects of your current intellect - you will literally “feel your way” into the set of circumstances where you dream is possible - much faster than any kind “planning/contriving/striving” will ever get you.

Embrace the flavor and you’ll become sensitized to other - relative - flavors

That’s the linking process

Since each dream is made of many flavors which come together to create the unique dream flavor - you will become aware of the individual flavors as the opportunity to link to them becomes available to you.  

When the linking process reaches a certain “critical mass” - an obvious course of action - combined  with your own natural confidence - makes itself known to you.

Manifesting your dream using this process makes the dream always seem just the next natural step in your journey - because it is!

Linking To Your Dreams

Linking to your dreams is a powerful technique that “tunes” you into the zone - where the possibilities exist that can turn a dream into reality…

How do you begin the linking process?

What I’ve found is the very first step necessary is to identify the “essence” of what you want.

This is very different than what many “positive mental attitude” purveyors will tell you - they say get a very detailed image of what it is you want - which is fine if you want to buy a car - but highly limiting if your manifesting a dream.

Your dream has a unique emotional flavor associated with it

This is the key to linking - the essence I’m talking about is the very flavor of emotion which accompanies your thoughts about what your particular dream may be.  Emotion is a language of feeling - closely associated with what we experience with music.  Unlike music, which in it’s current popular form is limited to twelve notes - the flavors or individual “colors” of emotional feelings are unlimited…

Everything in your day-to-day life has a corresponding emotional flavor -  which you have already “linked” to. Think about your favorite something or other - like your favorite set of clothes or your favorite food -  the way you feel about these things are very different than the feelings you have about other things.– The feelings about your favorite things are in fact the essence of those things. You feel your favorite clothes before you see them or touch them because you are linked to their essence - which is that unique flavor of feeling associated with them.

The flavor of emotion you feel -  which is tied to things, situations and relationships in your life -  can be linked together with other “flavors” or essences to create an overall feeling which “tunes” you into the zone -  which will most easily manifest your dream.

Think of flavor linking like putting together the recipe for your favorite cake

A cake is made up of several different flavors.  Each ingredient has a flavor that can stand alone - but when combined together with other ingredients and their unique flavors - you create a overall flavor which is the sum of the parts - you have “linked” together to create the ultimate “cake flavor” you desire.

Making your dreams come true works the same way.

By linking the most desirable unique flavors together from experiences, things and relationships - you are able to create the unique “dream flavor” -  which is not limited by your analytical mind’s attempt to quantify and rationalize -  within it’s own limited understanding of what is possible… Focusing on the essence/flavor of your dream begins the process of linking to the other similar flavors within your day-to-day reality - which are the necessary ingredients for your dream (cake)…

Where Will You Be 12 Months From Now?

When I was nineteen years old — I spent New Year’s Eve at home (my parents house) alone - they were at a party.

It was one of the most miserable experiences I ever had.

I told myself, “Next year it’s going to be very different”.

The next New Year’s Eve I was in a band (”Godfather”) playing in a 450 seat nightclub!

It was the most exciting New Year’s Eve I could have imagined at that point in my life.

The point is this:

Because I declared my intention to have a very different experience — I became aware of a different set of opportunities which took my life path in a very different direction than the year before.

I never could have imagined I would be playing in a band the following New Year’s Eve — when I was so miserable only the year before.

But a lot can happen in only 12 months.

Whatever your current situation is, you must allow yourself to believe it is possible to change it into something better…

Then put yourself into new situations which could create new possibilities.

I didn’t know any of the people in the band I ended up playing in a year later — when I spent that miserable New Year’s Eve by myself.

But I told myself next year was going to be different…

…And it was.
