Being naïve and creating an awsome reality
Posted by: | CommentsLast week I had the pleasure of watching a great athletic performance by quarterback Tate Forcier of the Michigan Wolverines against the Indiana Hoosiers. This young man displayed an amazing ability to come back from adversity. I always admire athletes that can come back from adversity because it shows a certain character. Having been an athlete back in the dark ages I understand the subtleties of the competition and what an athlete goes through psychologically.
What is the psychology of greatness?
Because he believed he could
One of the things that has always interested me is what separates great athletes from the average when all things physically appear equal. But even more is when an athlete performs against seemingly huge odds. In this contest the young man Fortier is obviously a great athlete. But one of the things that stands out about him is that he is a freshman or first year quarterback in college football. Usually during rookie years it is a learning experience for the young players and they don’t always perform well. The game moves so fast compared to the level they were at a year before in high school. For the average freshman their games do not rise to a great level early on for many reasons. Usually it is experience. They have not seen what is coming at them on this new level. But every now and then someone like Tate Forcier rises above the crowd.
What I understand now that I did not before was how much the mentality plays into what an athlete does on the field. We create our reality. Tate Forcier created his great game. I can imagine that he visualizes himself doing well. He has to have confidence in his ability in the first place or he would not see himself doing well. Read More→
A Practical lesson on the tool of faith to manifest your desires
Posted by: | CommentsMost of us have heard the word faith. A great majority of the time it is used in the context of religious thought and doctrine. In reality faith has nothing to do with anything religious. It can be used by anyone at anytime. Faith is the most powerful manifesting tool in the universe. Faith is not mysterious, it has a practical application. Once you know what it truly is and how to use faith you become a manifesting machine.
What is faith?
For centuries we have had faith defined for us in terms that apply to belief in a deity. In my mind it is an impossible definition to grasp and to truly use faith practically. The definition that we have heard and passed down to us is that faith is “the belief in things unseen.” For me this is a very limited idea of what faith is and it is based on the very secular and scientific view point that our entire universe is physical. In other words faith is belief in something that you can not see, touch, feel, hear or taste. It is the belief that something non-physical can be believed even though you can not see, touch, feel, hear or taste it. If you think of faith in terms of this definition it automatically shuts down the power that it has because you introduce doubt. Doubt that it is “real” and “real” meaning physical. I go into more detail on this in my article faith is unnecessary when you experience God. It is not my intension to delve into religious beliefs in this article but to talk about faith which is not religious.
A possible vacation spot?
So what is faith? Faith is the expectation that your vision will happen! In other words many people are now becoming aware of the power of our thoughts. We have learned that a thought is the initial impetus for anything that has manifested in our physical reality. A non-physical thought initiated or caused all things in between to produce or manifest the “real” or effect before us in the physical. In other words there is a cause and effect.
The mind is real
The power of the mind is the part that was not understood in the old definition of faith. It was not understood that what is in the mind is “real” it simply has not become physical. Your vision or mental pictures can become physical. In order for your vision to become “real” or manifest in the physical you must EXPECT that it is going to happen. That is faith! The expectation that your vision will manifest! Not simply belief in something unseen but the expectation that what you produce in your mind will occur.
I believe the most difficult part for the average person is to have expectation. When we don’t understand how the universe works we have doubts. When we don’t know that we create our reality and we are full of doubts. Before we take responsibility for the life that we have we believe that every thing that occurs in our life is a random manifestation of chaos. In other words, the belief that the universe has no order when it comes to our physical reality. That is the farthest thing from the truth. The universe has laws that orchestrate everything in existence. The laws work the same for the physical and the non-physical. Read More→
The fundamentals of conscious creation
Posted by: | CommentsToday I would like to go under the hood of reality creation. We get a lot of information these days on creating what we desire. We get a lot of directions, ideas, theories and all kinds of different information on creating. I know sometimes it can seem contradictory. I know there are many people like me that enjoy learning and understanding what makes things work. Don’t just tell me what to do. Tell me why it works, how its done and when can it be completed and how can it be repeated. For me I like to know the details because it allows me the ability to build my own concepts from the foundation that I was taught. I enjoy the empowerment of knowing what I can do for myself. That is what my blog is ultimately about. Giving people the information to be empowered themselves and not at the mercy of others that may want to control and be in power. For many others to be told how to do something and follow instructions is just fine for them. That is perfectly ok. To each his own. In the end your experience is the most relevant experience in the universe and no one has to validate it except you.
How do most of us create?
I titled the article the fundamental of conscious creation for are specific reason. The key word is CONSCIOUS. Understand that at any given time you are creating. Whether you understand the laws of the universe or not you are creating. For most people creating reality is a totally unconscious endeavor. They are at the mercy of unrecognized beliefs, a runaway imagination and uncontrolled emotions. These are all of the components of unconscious creating of physical reality. This is how the vast majority of us exist in our reality. It is something that happens to us rather than by us.
Fundamentally be aware the physical reality you know and are so attuned to is inside a metaphysical wrapping so to speak. On the most basic level of existence everything is energy. all of the laws of the universe operate from a metaphysical aspect. In other words all the laws of the universe operate on levels beyond the physical. When you understand this aspect of existence you are on the ground floor of building and creating all that you desire in the physical. These principles have been taught for thousands of years under the guise of religion in many instances.
What are the laws of the universe about?
The laws of the universe are about us working with the base component of existence (which is energy) from a metaphysical standpoint to bring about physical changes that we desire. Understand there are other metaphysical realities that exist. Physical reality is a component of the existence of our true being. It is not the ultimate existence. Since we are energy at the base level of our physical being and energy can only change states and not be destroyed, then how can our physical body be all there is to existence? We had to come into existence from somewhere from an energy source. When the body dies that energy can only change states. Even parts of science is starting to finally realize that physical reality can not explain all of existence.
There is more to LOA than positive thinking
Now here is where we understand the fundamentals of being a conscious creator. Many of the people that watch the secret and take off on the law of attraction will say that you have to think positively in order to attract the world that you desire. Thinking positively is a start but It’s a little bit more than that. In order to manifest your desires you have to BELIEVE positively. What is the difference? A person can think positive thoughts and never manifest them. If they truly believe something different the belief is what will manifest. Read More→
Your unconscious expectations are the key to manifesting the life you desire
Posted by: | Comments
Just the other day I was watching a video of an interview of actor Will Smith on the blog of a new friend in the blogosphere. What Mr. Smith had to say on the video really struck a chord with me. He talked about having a particular mindset when dealing with life. The interviewer asked him about someone saying that Will Smith had a preoccupation with happy endings. Will answered the question very eloquently and in his unique humorous way. But that statement of someone having a preoccupation with happy endings really struck me. The implication of that statement is that it is odd that someone expects a positive outcome in life. What a concept! Expecting positive is not normal!
It really got me into an analytical mode. I mean think about it, what shows are we most interested in on the news. The feel good story or the gruesome one? I usually first will think about the things and people around me, my environment. I Thought about the input that many of us get from television, newspapers, magazines, and the internet. I asked myself if it could be true that we have a preoccupation with negative. I have to say that as a society we do. Let’s analyze it. If we are watching the news, are there more positive or negative stories? Television is only going to put the things on that keep people glued to the tube. Jus the process of deduction will tell you that more people are interested in negative news than positive news.
Protect your attitude
I have been a big believer for a long time that I needed to guard my attitude. I realized years before I ever saw the secret and learned about the universal laws that my perception was a very big key in my attitude towards life. I am sure that I got so excited about the secret and other new age wisdom was because it resonated with the outlook on life that I already had. What I didn’t realize was how natural it had become for me to expect the negative. In certain areas of my life I could see it immediately, but other areas were a blind spot for me.
I previously used the analogy of an onion to represent the layers of belief that we develop over the course of a lifetime. We peel one layer away and then find another inhibiting belief. This is why so many of us can get frustrated when we talk about using the law of attraction. We visualize what we want and how we want things to manifest and wait for the universe to materialize it into existence. But we don’t realize that after the visualization we go back to thinking and believing the old negative thought patterns. It is the layers that we unconsciously hold on to that is really in the drivers seat of our life creation.
Fear is a big player in our expectations
You might wonder why would anyone want to have negative expectations? Allow me to explain. My astrological sun sign is Scorpio. We can be very emotional and passionate people. That’s good, right? What if you got so hyped up emotionally about something you wanted, anticipated it with all your might and then it not come through? Just as high as you were in anticipation you now are saddened because of the disappointment. I developed and ingenious way to keep the emotional side of me in check. I didn’t want to feel disappointment so I decided that if I expected the negative and then what I wanted came through I could enjoy that feeling of elation. But if it did not come through I would not be disappointed because I didn’t expect it any way. So I simply decided to expect that it would not come through so if and when it did I would be pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed.
I went through the early part of my life thinking like this. As a Scorpios we are emotional power houses. Through our emotions and passions we have the ability to be awesome manifesters when it is channeled in a positive fashion. Actually we manifest everything positive and negative. What I realized was I was living my life through the fear of being hurt or let down. I was manifesting exactly what I expected. It was not always negative; for the most part I have achieved many things in my life against the odds. I manifested them through my beliefs.
Understanding astrology can be a great aid
I am sure there are many of you whether Scorpio or not that unwittingly does the same thing in areas of your life that really matter to you. You have a negative expectation so you won’t be disappointed. What I did was visualize the negative outcome, feel the emotions of that outcome so just in case it happened that way I would already have felt it and it would not hurt as bad. That was a defense mechanism for me. What I learned to do was not be afraid of my emotions and to detach myself from any perceived outcome. Whatever happened in the moment was just that moment and I did not have to judge it negative or positive. I changed my expectations.
The way I did it is a major hindrance. Will Smith and other successful people obviously have conquered that part of their belief system. Some people are born with those gifts of a sunny disposition or to have a positive outlook. If you are a person that does not believe in the zodiac, then you may be missing an important piece to understanding your strengths and weaknesses. The day and time of your birth is not an accident. As a soul you come into the world based on the energies a positions of the planets. I explained it in more detail in my article “astrology can help you with the law of attraction.”
Metaphysical knowledge is empowerment
While society might expect the negative those of us that understand metaphysical applications of the knowledge we learn are at an advantage. We can learn to be causers on this plane of existence and not a victim. We should have positive expectations and beliefs and when we do the universe is already set up to bring to us all that we desire. If you are like I was for so long and had a fear of positive expectation you can change it starting today. It won’t happen overnight, but little by little you can change your perspective. You just have to be brave enough to experience the negative outcome as well as the positive. Understand your world from a metaphysical (beyond the physical) point of view and you will be empowered to be the cause in your life. Fear is not an option when growing spiritually.
Are you a brave soul?

Why doesn’t the law of attraction work for me?
Posted by: | CommentsI know there are many of us that ask that question daily. We have done all the things that the law of attraction pundits said to do and yet we still have life as it has existed for us right smack dab in our face. We start to wonder is the LOA just a bunch of bs. Could it be that the LOA just does not work for everybody? If it did wouldn’t everyone have all that they desire? What’s keeping me from realizing all that I desire? I know the LOA and do as I am taught, yet things don’t happen like I visualize them. What gives?
Congratulations
First of all, if you have started to ask those questions let me congratulate you. Because you are asking questions you are not being blindly lead. Let me also congratulate you for being brave enough to take responsibility for your life and how it is unfolding. U Create ALL in this plane of physical existence. Secondly let me say that it is ok to doubt. You are human and you must be able to accept all parts of your being and that means any imperfections that you perceive yourself as having. When you have doubt followed by earnest and seeking questions that is the first steps to growth and understanding and developing your unique experience in human form. To blindly follow and never question would simply be a religion. God knows we don’t need any more of those. You are becoming a conscious creator.
Did the LOA stop working for me?
Please allow me to explain why things may not be working as you visualize them at this time. Remember that you are a soul. You incarnated for the experience of being human. Part of that experience is to learn certain life lessons. As a soul before you chose a certain life and its circumstances because that life would give you the potential to experience certain things. For example, if you chose a life of privilege you may never have to feel what it is like to wonder where you are going to get the money to pay your light bill. However, because of the privileged life your parents have the money to send you to boarding school for most of your childhood and teenage years of development. You may feel unloved by your parents because they did not spend time caring for you and raising you. As a child you had everything money could buy.

A lesson that you as a soul may want to experience is to learn that you see your self as being worthy of love and not feeling like another thing to possess. You will develop a belief system based largely on your upbringing. Based on your beliefs you will create your experience through a need to feel worthy of love. Remember thought/belief is cause. Based on beliefs developed from your environment you will start to attract your experience to yourself.
The thing with beliefs that people often times don’t realize is that you may be conscious of one belief but not be aware of it floating on top other beliefs and underlying fear(s). in the above example you may be aware of the need to feel worthy of love, but still feel that others need to show you in different ways. You may be looking for that feeling coming from outside yourself when the lesson is that it is you that has to know your are loved by you. Until you learn the lesson different scenarios will be attracted by you into your life that will stimulate those emotions and perceptions of being unworthy. You can visualize someone loving you but not realizing the love should be from inside. Until you, consciously understand what it is that you are to learn the lesson keeps repeating. You must change your thinking/beliefs to change your experience. This takes much introspection.
The Laws of the Universe always work
Another reason that you may feel the LOA is not working is that you asked the universe for something that is out of the norm for you current circumstance. For example, you are in a job that you hate. It does not pay enough, the coworkers are lousy, the conditions are lousy and you want to make a change. Because you are now conscious of the LOA you ask the universe for wealth and prosperity. You visualize exactly what you want! All of a sudden you get laid off! In this terrible economy that is not a good thing at all! How will you make it day to day let alone get wealthy? You can the say the LOA is not working. Or is it? The universe will give you what you ask. At this point you can really get down and depressed and focus on the misfortune. Or you can start to come up with ways to earn income. Maybe you have a million dollar idea that you would never have considered while you were employed. The universe is moving things around for you to realize your vision of wealth and prosperity. You have to recognize the opportunities and move on them when they arise. If you believe that you are a creator you will take steps to make your vision come true. If you feel that life just happens to you and take the mentality of a victim then the universe will bring to you what you perceive. You have a choice and free will to decide what your human experience will be at anytime. The laws of the universe work without fail at all times!
Understand that when you are in alignment with your purpose for incarnating things can go smoothly for you. All things that occur in life are for achieving that purpose. You do have the free will do go in any direction you want. It will be a lot more difficult if you are not aligning with your purpose. If you do not learn the lessons and find the purpose in this life you will get the chance to work on it again. However, because of the laws of the universe it may be a little tougher lesson to learn the next time around. The LOA is always working. Whether you are conscious of it or not, whether you believe it or not.
The good news is that you are conscious of it now. It is up to you to decide what your focus is going to be. Will you focus on the difficult circumstances that you have today, or visualize the way you want them to be? “Ask and it is given, knock and the door will be opened.” This is where faith in your ability to create will have to come into play. “The Father knows what you need before you ask.” You already have it. You simply need to allow and attract it into your experience.
Are you a brave soul?
