Look out at the white linen blanket that covers the ground
The beauty is astounding ,clean clear and all around
Nature is wonderful, amazing magnificent and profound
She sends her message to us silently without a sound
Time to slow down she heeds, in her wisdom to be found.

Missing The Point
We hurry and scurry day by day
With worry and worry along the way
Take time "STOP" slow down
Or your missing the point
There are wonders in front of your eyes
Lift your veil and they will reveal their disguise.

So forget the past... live in the present and create the future you desire...

" Transforming Lives In A Group Coaching Community"

"THE AWAKENING ALLIANCE" has been under development by myself for the past 12 months or so and is born out of an accumulation of ideas, that have beautifully culminated into one...
Having been involved in many ventures over the last 10 years, most of which have turned out to be an amazing learning curve, but almost all have failed to live up to my expectations...
I have reached a point in my life, where I feel its my duty to myself and others to create my own baby so to speak and share it with the world...
It is my aim, vision, mission and purpose through "The Awakening Alliance" to create a community of like minded people, who together as one.

Late Lament, by The Moody Blues
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white.
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion???.
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.

But we decide which is right.

Deprogram Your Mind - Awaken Your True Power
I just discovered this article by: Nick Arrizza,M.D. thought I would take the time to share it with you.
Thankyou Nick.
If you live in a pervasive state of unhappiness then I'd like you to know there's a very simple reason for this. It's because you exist within a confused state that has literally cut you off from your Inner Truth and the courage to follow it. Where does this Inner Truth live? Well it's not in your mind, rather in your Heart. If you would like to know how to de-program your mind so that you can reconnect to this Truth and the power that lays therein read on.
So what does deprogramming the mind have to do with happiness? Well it may, or may not, surprise you that many try to "figure out" what will make them happy and this is done via the mind. In the mind reside all of the learned beliefs that supposedly help you navigate your way to success, happiness and fulfillment.
After many years of buying into and pursuing societal definitions of success I was left feeling empty and unfulfilled. Let me be clear here, it wasn't because I didn't achieve these lofty goals, I did indeed. At one time I was a "successful" psychiatrist earning a six figure income, with a beautiful home and in a seemingly happy relationship. All the while however I felt empty and very much unfulfilled.
Yes, I had followed the "success" propaganda much of my life but at the pinnacle of my "successful" life I realized that I had been sadly duped. So after a period of hard self reflection I became consciously aware of how I had allowed myself to be deceived and out of this also came an answer that awakened my Heart to my Inner Truth. Well, the rest is history as they say.
I realized that, like most human beings on the planet, I had lost a connection to who I was and why I was here. In essence I had lost a connection to my purpose in being alive and the experience of what meant to be truly alive. I realized that I had allowed myself to become a pawn in the competitive "game of life" that many still ardently subscribe to here at great cost to their well being and integrity.
Most importantly I realized that my purpose was to help others wake up to their Inner Truth. This sprouted a powerful process that helps one become consciously aware of the unconsciously programmed limiting beliefs that rob many of their birth right; their powerful creative abilities, their ability to know who they are as divine beings and their true purpose in being alive.
You see, it is the absence of this deeper awareness that results in unhappiness. After all, how can anyone be truly happy if they have no clue about who they really are, what they are capable of and why they are here? Well, they can't!
All of the "mind programming" I am referring to exists in your subconscious mind where it is both inaccessible to you and very much in control of your life. In other words you are enslaved by it with no way to change it. What's more it is supported and reinforced by what I call the "movie" of you life history.
This, in essence, "is" the programming which must be erased if you are to awaken, remember who you are and reclaim your true power. If you'd like to learn more about the process that can set you free kindly visit the web site below where you can also request a free introductory telephone consultation.

Eros, Love, Desire - Awakening Your True Heart's Desire
Just discovered this article by Andrea B. Jackson thought I would take the time to share it with you...
Thankyou Andrea...
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you not knowing how blind that was, lovers don't finally meet somewhere; they're in each other all along." - Rumi
Are you longing to find a truly dependable love? In a relationship session you will find the real relationship you are longing for. Communing and cultivating your inner beloved is the most important relationship you will ever have. It will bring you an open heart that is authentic and compassionate, the ability to listen deeply to what is true from your soul and the feeling that you have met your most ecstatic beloved. The beautiful relationships that will be drawn to you from this inner connection are a match to your heart & soul, not as much your personality/ego.
Struggling, denying, projecting, blaming the relationship situations you are in now will not bring the love you desire. It will continue to perpetuate painful feelings of struggle and loneliness. The loneliness you feel in a relationship like this can feel even more difficult than learning to be with yourself.
The answer is definitely not to keep chasing the proverbial romantic fantasy relationship. It's also not to expect your partner to live up to these impossible ideals. It's to come home to the true source of your greatest happiness. This inner joy is dependable...you can count on your relationship with yourself.
Whether you're single, in a current relationship or divorcing...owning this powerful loving inner connection will set all your heartache free. I guarantee this. Come home to the lasting love that attracts exactly what your heart & soul need to create a truly joyful life. Sharing from this inner connection is the source of lasting love and will draw your true beloved to you.
Breathe into the sweet, tender, ecstatic love within you,
Andrea

Balancing Your Energy
I just came across an article by Gina Sebastian Thought I would take the time to share it with you.
THANKYOU... Gina...
The amount of energy you have is an excellent indicator for you to monitor you stress level and your "do" level. In our crazy worlds these days, we run around doing, doing, doing. We love to be busy and many times people are run down and played out.
Your energy determines your life at every moment, which means it is very important to maintain a "level" energy flow. When energy is taken to extremes, what goes up must come down. So if you do something that requires high energy, it is inevitable that shortly after you are done, you will feel drained and need to replenish your energy levels. However, if you manage your energy and don't go to extremes, then you won't have major ups and downs. You will maintain an energy level over time that allows you to create amazing things in your life and feel good too.
Many times you just need to be conscious around how you are using your energy and make choices that work for you. If you are doing too much in a day and are exhausted, let go of some things in your life or put less things on your daily schedule. If you tend to be low energy, plan more exciting things that will bring your energy up. This way you will create more of what you want each day (peace and enjoyment) rather than what you don't want (stress, chaos and even depression).
"There are many aspects to success; material wealth is only one component... But success also includes good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being, and peace of mind." ~ Deepak Chopra
Think about how you use your energy because it shapes every moment of your day. Look for ways to increase your energy. Some great energy boosters to try:
•Regular exercise (it really does make a very big difference in your energy level);
•Eat right (healthy foods that give energy);
•Get enough sleep;
•Create balance (to reduce highs and lows);
•Take me-time (to recharge). Learn the word NO (this is incredibly liberating);
•Surround yourself with positive & inspirational people.
•Listen to/watch inspirational audio, music, and movies.
Once you are aware of how you use your energy and how you want it to be different, then it is about taking one step at a time in the direction you want to go. Manage your energy and you will find much more of what you want in your life!
And now I invite you to learn more about Create Your Life by visiting http://www.onpurposetraining.ca/

Your Best Foot Forward's First Step Starts in Your Mind
Just come across a nice article by: Debra Hollinrake thought I would take the time to share it with you...
Do you have a great idea of how you want your life to be, but can't seem to get out of your own way in order to make it happen? What do you suppose would happen if you actually took one step toward making it real? What would that first step be?
Richard M. Devos said, "The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it is possible."
1. How can you apply this thought to your life?
2. What is one thing that you truly want in your life? Think about it - what is one thing that you truly want in your life?
3. Do you have the "will" to go after what you truly want? When thinking about your answer, think about what "will" is. The dictionary describes "will" as "deliberate intention or wish". So if you've answered the question of "what do you truly want", then you already have the will to obtain it!
4. Next is "the faith to believe it is possible". Where does your faith come from? How to you come to a place of faith or belief? Think of the age-old saying, "seeing is believing", and try this exercise. A) Create a picture in your mind of what your life would look like if you actually attained what you truly want in life. B) Focus on a positive picture of yourself. C) Make a mental note - What does your life look like having attained what you truly want? What does it feel like? Where are you? What does it smell like? What are you doing?
5. Now that you've got this clear positive picture in your mind, write down 3 small tasks that would be the first steps to get you to that achieved goal that you just pictured in your mind. Just three very small tasks. Preface each task with, "I am." For example, "I am writing down three tasks that I could do to get me to my goal!" Then write down two more small tasks. Read them out loud. Announce them to the universe! "I am....." Smile!
6. Think about that quote again by Richard M. Devos: "The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it is possible."
7. Now write the name of your list across the top of it - something inspirational, like "Joe's Healthy Body" or "Karen's New Promotion" or something that will inspire you and make you smile when you look at it because you have a plan - you can see it now!
8. Go ahead and perform the first task on your list. Just the first task. Then cross off number one on the list, and write down the next task that would follow number three. Then walk away, knowing you're on your way, and every day, do one more task. And keep the list going. Every time you accomplish one task, cross it off the list and add another task onto the end.
9. Keep this list where you can see it - on the fridge, taped to your computer, somewhere where you can see it so you can always be reminded of how powerful you are! Look at all you're accomplishing!! When it's time to start a new list because you've accomplished everything on the first one, save the original list - no matter how messy it is - in your special place where you can open it and look at all you've accomplished whenever you need a reminder of how wonderful you are.
And it all started with your thoughts!
Now that you have given energy to this dream, it will keep getting closer. Keep that picture in your mind. If any doubts creep in, imagine them falling away, like the warm water off your shoulders when you take a shower. Then breathe a comfortable sigh as you zero in on that wonderful picture of yourself living your dream. Seeing is believing! Now that you've seen it in your mind, look out world! Keep stirring up that energy. Feel it.
So, what are your intentions?
Wishing you beautiful creative visions of your happiness, to inspire you, call you to the action you enjoy, as your spirit glows.

Awaken Higher Awareness Through Self-Observation
By: Guy Finley
I'm sure that we can all agree that no intelligent, conscious man or woman would ever intentionally hurt him or herself. It is important that we are in agreement about this precept. No one would choose to ache. Yet the fact remains that all of us do hurt ourselves every day with bursts of anger or fits of depression or anxiety. Even at the simplest level there can be no doubt: fear and worry take an immeasurable toll on our health and well-being.
However, there is real intelligence. An inwardly awake person would never intentionally hurt himself. Self-observation is the key to developing this higher order of awareness; it is how we learn to become inwardly vigilant to our own thoughts and feelings, even as they pass through us. When we can observe ourselves in this new way our higher nature naturally prevails over any troubling thoughts or feelings that want to drag us down into their lower world.
Self-observation allows us to understand what we witness in ourselves, instead of being washed away by our reaction to it. This new and higher interior "position" -- as the observer of what unfolds around and within us -- is at once a part of the proceedings and, at the same time, untouched by them. Recall what the Christ said about "being in the world, but not of it," and you have a small idea about this most unique inner-sanctuary. When we are awake this way, we always make the right choices because we are acting from a level of consciousness that has no past investment in any event or its possible outcome. This means that it is free to select what is intelligent.
Higher intelligence cannot be bound by the momentum of accumulated desires. The silent observer within us does not think; it sees. This is an important point because in order to observe ourselves means that we can't be self-absorbed. Higher awareness through self-observation increases our field of choices, because this elevated inner-position places you high above the game and lets you see all of the players.
On the other hand, self-absorption is like being on the field. Not only can't you see all of the players, but those that you can see are more often than not slamming into you, turning you around and around until you don't know which way to run. That's the whole point: Stop running and bumping, and start seeing.
There is no greater power for self-change than self-observation because this new inner-vision alone can provide you with true self-knowledge. Being self-liberated is the same as living fully from your Higher Nature. In this lofty state you enjoy the freedom that comes with having let go of your false self. This Higher Nature rests above you. Join it. Let it guide you all the way back to your true home within yourself.
As you persist each day with this important and practical task of adding more inner light to yourself -- of making it your aim to stay up in the grandstand and out of the brawls on the field -- you may find yourself becoming increasingly disturbed by some of the negativities you are seeing within yourself down on the field. This is a good indication that you are making real progress.
You must apply the principles you have learned even to this new kind of disturbance. This uproar you are experiencing is the false self trying its best to get you into the free-for-all down on the field. Stay in the stands in your observation post. Don't be concerned with anything you may see. Remember, light need never fear any shadow, and anything you may discover within you that is frightening comes from the shadow world. Your only task is to bring it into the light of your new understanding and let it handle the rest.
Let's review this royal principle: to see yourself in this new way means that at the same moment of being aware of your physical self, you are also watching your thoughts and feelings. Your old inclination to jump in and judge yourself is also suspended in this new awareness of yourself.
Said slightly differently, self-observation is a way of being fully aware of yourself that includes being watchful of any self-concern that comes up as a result of what you see in yourself. In this unique psychological posture you remain effortlessly apart from all wrong concerns because, should any of them arise, they are treated as just something else you are seeing, not as something you are.
At first, this idea of expanded self-awareness may sound to you like a little too much going on all at once. I assure you that it is not. Once you get the feel for it, self-observation is not any more difficult than leisurely watching a juggler under the Big Top. He may have as many as six or seven assorted objects flipping and spinning all at once, but that is of no concern to you. Seeing takes no effort. You are just enjoying the performance!
And while we're speaking of performances, you will be happy to know that nothing brings the curtain down faster on the false self than this special kind of inner attention. You will see that self-observation is to our lower nature what sunlight is to a cave-dwelling bat. Just as the bat cannot stand the sun's bright rays, neither can the false self live in the light of this new and self-healing awareness.
Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over! For the daring person who wishes to turn this possibility into reality, the keys to less stress and brighter days are found in Guy Finley's newly revised and expanded best-selling book, "The Secret of Letting Go." Just as gentle spring rains stir the seeds that become beautiful wildflowers, so will the higher lessons in this book help you let go and grow free. Finley is the acclaimed author of more than 35 books and audio programs on the subject of self-realization, and is the founder and director of Life of Learning Foundation, a nonprofit center for self-study located in Southern Oregon.

Embracing Inspirational Awareness: Five Perspective-Changing Benefits
By: Melissa Wadsworth
Live Aware! Sounds simple enough. And yet, for many of us, living with true awareness takes practice and commitment. It requires that we nurture our sense of wonder, curiosity and genuine interest each day. It requires that we refresh our connections to the people and essential elements of the world around us. Only then can the "Aha" truth of awareness resonate with us: What you notice matters!
Living with awareness naturally opens our eyes to the gifts to be enjoyed in daily life. At the same time, conscious intention and imagination opens our hearts to the fantastic possibilities that exist for creating a more satisfying life. Need more persuasion? Consider the following inspirational benefits:
Awareness enhances your receptivity. We're each receptors of energy and information. Awareness improves your receptivity to signals and signposts that can help with daily decision-making. Awareness increases your receptivity to the sensory surprises and gifts that are present. As an open channel your life tends to become layered with enhanced visual richness. This inevitably switches on your other senses, which in turn naturally enhance your daily life experience. Likewise, awareness helps you to be more aware of the particular energy and information that you send back out into the world. Thoughts and words like "no one will notice,"and "it doesn't matter" should begin to fade from your vocabulary. If you go through life half asleep or tied to limiting habits, you may be blocking all kinds of information from making it to your conscious mind. Living aware can help ensure that you are cognizant of all the resources available to you.
Enhanced awareness facilitates focus. We all get busy. And without an intention to stay aware we can move through our days on the surface. It's a little like giving a presentation and looking over everyones' heads. You're not making real contact. Awareness fine-tunes your innate ability to focus on life components. As you first practice awareness you may take in a grander view of everything in "your sights," but then your awareness lands - like a butterfly coming to rest. It may land on something that adds beauty to your day, it may land on a conversation of useful information, it may land on a bus banner that points you to just the resource you've been seeking. Focus lets you know what's important to you at any given moment. Be aware of what catches your attention and why? Focus also lets you know how you are feeling about your life and often signals when change needs to occur. For instance, a travel expert who used to be a stewardess said that she knew it was time to quit when she kept focusing on the one obnoxious traveler on each of her flights rather than all the other friendly and polite passengers. Recognizing what your focus tells you empowers your life.
Positive awareness generates appreciation. After all you can't appreciate what you don't notice. Taking the time to notice something new or to re-consider something you've taken for granted can refresh your sense of life appreciation. Photography is a great tool for building awareness and appreciation, since it naturally directs you to focus on objects of interest and beauty. You can also simply practicing seeing the world with the eye of a photographer. Look around and consider what is photo-worthy.
Active awareness stimulates life clarity. With your observational powers turned on high, the brain seems to respond to mindfully presented stimuli with correlations, personal insights and revelations. Mindful awareness simultaneously quiets the mind and sharpens our mental processing so that helpful data can surface. So leave spaces in your day for quiet awareness and contemplation, even if it's for five minutes. Often we just work so very hard at trying to make it all work out right. Consider whether you need to provide more space and awareness so things can unfold. Consider whether you leave enough room in your days, or in your life perspective, for the easiest route to your goals to reveal itself.
Open-hearted awareness leads to connection. Awareness tends to tether you to your life experience with tiny treads of connection, acquired one at a time. Being aware of how you are in the world may result in you feeling more connected to your unique qualities and talents. Being aware of opportunities to interact with others can help you feel more part of a community. When you really listen, which is a type of awareness, you can better hear what other people can offer you, or how you can help them. Such satisfying connections just make existence feel more successful.
Living aware leads to you being more receptive, to enhanced focus, to greater appreciation and more life clarity and connection. That's a pretty good return on your efforts. So practice awareness and just see what happens.

Everything is Energy - Everything is Vibrating
BY: Robyn Bentley
Quantum physics tells us that nothing is actually solid. Everything is energy. Everything is vibrating. And everything on earth is influenced by it. Plants grow better when exposed to certain musical vibrations. Sound vibrations affect the form of molecules. Words, thoughts and music affect the molecular structure of water. The unique molecular vibrational frequency of a chemical works like the actual chemical. The human body has a biofield of energy running through and around it affecting mental and physical health. Here are a few examples of these vibrational influences.
Musical Vibrations Affect The Growth of Plants
Music affects plants. They grow better when exposed to classical and jazz music than hard rock music. When plants don't like the music they are being exposed to, they actually bend away from the speakers the music is coming from. When they like the music, they bend toward the speakers. In an experiment, plants leaned away from Jimi Hendrix, Vanilla Fudge, and Led Zeppelin music. However, when string versions of songs by these artists were played, the plants leaned toward the speakers.
Sound Vibrations Affect Molecular Form
A simple Cymatics experiment can be done by sprinkling sand on a metal plate and vibrating the plate with sound. The sand will then form itself into patterns. The higher the frequency, the more complex the shapes produced.
Thoughts, Words And Music Affect the Molecular Structure of Water
Masaru Emoto used different words (I hate you, love and appreciation) and the names of some deceased people (Adolph Hitler, Mother Teresa) typed them onto paper, taped them on glass bottles filled with water and let them sit overnight. He also placed water between speakers for several hours and played different kids of music (Bach, heavy metal). Emoto froze droplets of the water and examined them under a microscope and photographed them. He found that positive words and classical music created white crystals in beautiful shapes. Negative words and heavy metal music created brown crystals in unappealing shapes.
The Vibrational Frequency of Medicine Works Like Medicine
Fritz Popp, a German biophysics researcher used the vibrational frequency of vasodilator chemicals (histamine and acetylcholine) to produce increased blood flow in the coronary arteries of a guinea pig's heart. Then he applied the opposite chemicals (atropine and mepyramine) which inhibited blood flow. He did not use the actual chemical, but the vibration of the chemical in the form of low frequency waves ( less than 20 Khz). The signal could take the place of the chemical because the signal is the signature of the molecule of the chemical. Popp believed that each molecule in the universe has a unique frequency and the language it uses to speak to the world is a resonating wave. We can swallow chemicals to expose ourselves to the specific resonating wave of a chemical or we can vibrationally expose ourselves and the "vibe" of the medicine works like the medicine.
Imbalance in the Human Biofield Creates Illness in the Body
You may have heard the term "aura". Biophysics uses the term "biofield". It is the subtle energy systems running through and around the human body. Practitioners of energy medicine believe that illness results from disturbances of these subtle energies. The biofield or aura can be photographed using Kirlian photography. Acupuncture is used to balance the energy running through the meridians of the body. Reiki is used to balance the seven chakra energy centers of the body.
Meridians
The meridians are channels of energy that can be compared to the body's circulatory system. Just like veins carry blood, meridians are the pathways of chi flowing through the body. A break in the flow of chi creates an imbalance resulting in a physical or emotional health problem. Acupuncture helps keep the chi in balance to help the body be healthier.
Chakras
The chakras are seven energy centers in the human body. They each vibrate a different energy and color. If a Chakra becomes blocked, certain physical or emotional problems can develop. Keeping the chakras balanced and clear helps keep a person healthy in body, mind and spirit. Reiki is used to balance the energy centers.
Positive And Negative Energies Inside Buildings
Every building has both positive and negative energies. These energies form in patterns when a building is constructed. In every building there are nine different energy patterns. One in each of the eight compass sections and the center. These positive and negative energies can have an impact on the occupants of a building. Classical feng shui calls the energies that make up the energy patterns "flying stars".
Where attention goes... energy flows.
What we give our attention to, we give our energy to. You can see what "giving your energy to something" looks like simply by dangling a necklace from your hand and making it move with your mind. In feng shui, energy is called chi. Chi flows through our homes, our bodies, and everything in the universe. We can focus the chi of our body with our mind.
Everything is energy. Everything is vibrating. And everything on earth is influenced by it. That means you.

You Are Amazing! (And I Can Prove It)
By: Michael_D._Murphy
Has anyone told you lately that you are truly amazing? Probably not unless you are one of the very blessed few who have at least one powerful encourager in your life that truly does care about you.
I was 6 feet tall when I was in the 7th grade. I weighed all of 140 lbs. Skinny doesn't begin to describe it. Toothpick would come a little closer. With the unruly and wiry hair that I tried to grow long and fight to keep straight, most of my friends called me 'Q-tip.' You can imagine how that did wonders for my self esteem. Yeah, not much.
I was reminded by my father that I wasn't planned when I was born. I guess not. Three kids in LESS THAN three years. My brother was 2 years old, about to turn 3. My sister was 1 year old, 9 days before she turned 2.
My father suffered most of his life with what we now know as bi-polar disorder. Major moods swings and a plethora of attitudes that did not serve in my best interest (or anyone else's for that matter.) He constantly reminded me that I was an 'accident' and with the constant psychological abuse that he put on me, I felt more like an intruder on this planet than a little boy.
As I got older and begin to discover personal development and what it could do for me to heal my past and create my future, I begin to develop new beliefs about myself. What I discovered, changed my life. I discovered that the facts proved that I was not an 'accident', but indeed, my life was/is a miracle.
I discovered through reading personal development books that the chances that I was ever conceived to begin with were tens of millions to one. In fact, I learned that I had beaten out somewhere between 10 and 90 million other 'seeds' that were all vying to fertilize one egg. Tens of millions of potential suitors and only one was going to get a date. In fact, the others were going to die. It wasn't just a race and competition for affection. It was a battle for life.
Stop and think about this. If any other seed had fertilized that one egg, neither you nor I would be here right now. Ever wonder why you've always felt ''special''? Maybe you felt ''lucky''? Well, you gained access into the inner sanctum to fertilize the egg and millions others died off who didn't make it.
I don't know about you, but that fact alone makes me feel pretty amazing! Now I'm not asking to you believe in some kind of esoteric, metaphysical or spiritual concept. I'm sharing this as an established fact. Go check out these stats with a medical doctor. Now, if those odds haven't made you feel as amazing as they make me feel, then think about this.
Go back 5 generations in your family. That would be to a great-great-great grandparent. Having extensive genealogy records for my family, I know who my great-great-great grandfather was and where he was born.
He was born in 1795 in Kentucky. Just 18 years after our country declared its independence. He met his wife by some set of circumstances which I'm not aware of. Nonetheless, just imagine your own experience, or perhaps that of your parents (or grandparents) and know that the odds weren't good that he and this particular woman, got together.
Now add to the equation that the odds that they ever conceived and had the particular child that they had, were also in the 1 in several millions odds. Now, THAT child grew up and met someone else and the process goes on and on.
My point? Imagine the odds that you ever arrived here on this planet. Trillions to one. Your life is amazing. You may not feel like it. You may feel the lowest emotions that a human can feel. Nonetheless, the FACT remains that YOU ARE A MIRACLE!!!
Perhaps in another article, I'll get into to the amazing biological, skeletal/muscular make up of your body (which is itself a miracle.) For right now, just allow yourself to consider and deeply think about, how YOU got HERE.
You, my dear friend, are no accident. You are amazing! You were a miracle the day you began your existence on this planet. And, you still are. Most people are never taught to love themselves.
Most people are never taught to really understand how awesome they really are. Through a lot of emotional and psychological damage that we get from very ill-informed sources in this world, we never face the REALITY of who and what we really are.
I'm here, telling you, YOU ARE AMAZING! I know it. You have talents, skills, intelligence and heart to do miracles in your own life. You have potential that you haven't even begun to tap into its power.
You've likely either forgotten or, you never knew how the facts that support you as being a phenomenal being. Take some time today and think about what I've shared with you here. Think about the dreams, hopes, desires and incredible vision inside of your mind. I'm not asking you to ''believe'' anything.
I'm just giving you the FACTS. You are amazing! You can do, be and have more than you've ever dreamed possible. Let yourself awakened to the TRUTH about you. Get your dreams off of the shelf and dust them off. Let them live again in your heart, soul and mind.
Keep believing that you can and will accomplish them. Then, expect them and watch your awesome life unfold.

Has anyone told you lately that you are truly amazing? Probably not unless you are one of the very blessed few who have at least one powerful encourager in your life that truly does care about you.
I was 6 feet tall when I was in the 7th grade. I weighed all of 140 lbs. Skinny doesn't begin to describe it. Toothpick would come a little closer. With the unruly and wiry hair that I tried to grow long and fight to keep straight, most of my friends called me 'Q-tip.' You can imagine how that did wonders for my self esteem. Yeah, not much.
I was reminded by my father that I wasn't planned when I was born. I guess not. Three kids in LESS THAN three years. My brother was 2 years old, about to turn 3. My sister was 1 year old, 9 days before she turned 2.
My father suffered most of his life with what we now know as bi-polar disorder. Major moods swings and a plethora of attitudes that did not serve in my best interest (or anyone else's for that matter.) He constantly reminded me that I was an 'accident' and with the constant psychological abuse that he put on me, I felt more like an intruder on this planet than a little boy.
As I got older and begin to discover personal development and what it could do for me to heal my past and create my future, I begin to develop new beliefs about myself. What I discovered, changed my life. I discovered that the facts proved that I was not an 'accident', but indeed, my life was/is a miracle.
I discovered through reading personal development books that the chances that I was ever conceived to begin with were tens of millions to one. In fact, I learned that I had beaten out somewhere between 10 and 90 million other 'seeds' that were all vying to fertilize one egg. Tens of millions of potential suitors and only one was going to get a date. In fact, the others were going to die. It wasn't just a race and competition for affection. It was a battle for life.
Stop and think about this. If any other seed had fertilized that one egg, neither you nor I would be here right now. Ever wonder why you've always felt ''special''? Maybe you felt ''lucky''? Well, you gained access into the inner sanctum to fertilize the egg and millions others died off who didn't make it.
I don't know about you, but that fact alone makes me feel pretty amazing! Now I'm not asking to you believe in some kind of esoteric, metaphysical or spiritual concept. I'm sharing this as an established fact. Go check out these stats with a medical doctor. Now, if those odds haven't made you feel as amazing as they make me feel, then think about this.

The Law Of Attraction - Manifest Happiness And So Much More By Living In The Now
The Law Of Attraction - Manifest Happiness And So Much More By Living In The Now
By : Maria Westcott
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I'm often striving to get somewhere that I am not. I just know that when I get to that place, I will be happy.
* I'll be happy when I lose 20 lbs.* I'll be happy when I have more money.* I'll be happy when I go on vacation.* I'll be happy when I get that promotion at work.* I'll be happy when I can quit my job and work for myself.* I'll be happy when I have achieved financial freedom and can retire.
I could go on and on, but hopefully you've got the idea and I'm sure you could add a few more items of your own to the list.
Think back now to what things might have been on your list 10 years ago, 5 years ago or 1 year ago that have now happened or that you have since achieved. By achieving whatever was on your list at that time, you are now content, right? You have reached nirvana! You are now happy, eh?
No? Instead I would bet that you now just have another new list of things you need to achieve in order to be happy. You are still striving to get somewhere that you are not.
True happiness and contentment will never be achieved in this manner because there will always be something else that you'll want. You will forever be running and chasing after something if you are not living in the now. And when you are at the end of your life, you will still feel as if you never quite got to where you wanted to be.
The only path to true happiness is by living in the NOW, for NOW is all that you have. The past is gone and the future may never come, but the only certainty is that you have NOW; you have today. How would you live this day if you knew it would be your last? What would you do? Who would you spend time with? How would you make every minute count?
Rather than dwell on what you want or need or hope the future will bring, just be grateful for everything that you have today. Be grateful for the money you have, however much. Be thankful for friends and family. Be appreciative of the work or job that you have. Be grateful for the food on the table. Be thankful for your health and love your body.
Give your all today by living in the now! Do the best you can do at your job. Be the best friend you can be. Do what you enjoy today and don't put it off. Live as if today were your last day on this earth.
Rather than asking, "What's in it for me?", ask the Universe, "How can I serve?" Go out of your way to help others, give and radiate love in all that you do.
If you live each day in this manner, you will be amazed at how happy and content you will be. You will no longer be striving to get somewhere in order to experience happiness. You will have arrived! You'll be living in the now!
And there is an additional benefit. If you are happy and content with what you have today in the now, the Law of Attraction will begin to work for you like it has never worked before. Suddenly, all of those things you have wanted will show up in your life. Why? Because you are no longer desperate for them. Because you know longer focus on them. Because you are content with what you have and you would remain content even if you didn't receive them. This is the secret to the Law of Attraction!

Being Yourself - How to Live an Authentic Life
Being Yourself - How to Live an Authentic Life
By... MeKila Herring
All over the media, day after day, we see this official or that official being exposed for some heinous misrepresentation or inappropriate behavior. To live authentically has become the new chosen goal. But, how do we do that exactly? How do we live an authentic life? Simply by being yourself.
So often I hear, "I do not even know what it means to be myself anymore."
Society has molded us from the time we were very young to act appropriately and to behave this or that particular way. It is no wonder that we have lost ourselves in the midst of all of that training.
Now, as adults, we find ourselves wondering, "What the heck happened to me?" "Where did I go?" "Why is it so hard to uncover the real me?"
It is really not hard to uncover "the real me"... we have just forgotten how and the muscles to do so have become somewhat atrophied.
We were each born with an internal guidance system that is the best navigation system in existence for helping us travel through life. Unfortunately, we have developed habits that override that innate guidance system. We have trained ourselves to do what is expected from us. Often this training has come at the cost of deadening our inner voices.
Still, all is not lost. This inner guidance system is an innate mechanism that never truly is lost. Just because we have quieted our abilities to listen to it, does not mean that it has stopped working. We need only to reawaken our senses to the messages we are constantly exposed to.
The first thing to do is take a deep breath. It is never as dire as it first appears. This is going to be fun. With a little exercise and forethought you will be surprising yourself with your inner knowing in no time. When you think about it, what could be easier than "being yourself?"
Now that you have calmed your mind down a bit by taking a few deep breaths, listen up as I give you the biggest clue to being yourself. Stay in touch with how you feel.
In any given moment, be aware of whether you feel good or bad, happy or sad, confident or fearful. In the moments that you are feeling good, happy and confident, you are being yourself. In those moments that you are feeling bad, sad, or fearful, you are doing something that takes you away from being yourself.
Deep down we all know what is good for us. We all know who we are. When we think or act outside of that inner deep self knowing, our emotions kick in to jar us back onto the path that will allow us to express ourselves authentically. When we are reacting or operating from places that do not feel good, we have lost our authenticity and are being warned about it through the very nature of our feelings.
So, be aware of how you feel. In each moment reach for the thoughts that help you feel better. When faced with an unpleasant thought... or you simply become aware of being in an unpleasant feeling, shift to a better feeling thought or activity. Soon you will find yourself walking through your days with a perpetual smile on your face. Then you will know that you are living authentically.

Along with it you will receive an eleven page report on Trusting Your Intuition. Become more confident of the intuitive aspect of your inner guidance system today.

Living Consciously
Living Consciously
By Ray Gross
Quantum mechanics evokes a universe where the fundamental building blocks of existence are enabled in such a way as to accommodate the observer. For example, an electron spinning in an atom can be seen at every conceivable location by multiple observers simultaneously! Defying both common sense and logic, an electron can be anywhere and everywhere when it's called upon. Einstein's Theory of Relativity enforces this concept by proving nature treats each observer uniquely and that an accurate perception of space and time ultimately lies with the beholder. Furthermore, the Heisenberg Principle holds that the behavior of matter can be affected merely by observing it!
To "live consciously" in this universe is to live in the present and to be intimately aware of what makes up your surroundings and the effect your presence has upon it. If you ponder it deeply, the "present" is all there really is. The past only exists in the stored memory of the human mind. If there were no human mind, there would be no past. The same "illusion of time" applies to the future as well, which is but a projection of what may occur in the future present. The present is all there is, and the most significant aspect of our awareness is the capacity to understand the concept of space.
The distance between an electron and the outer shell of an atom is proportionate to the distance between the Earth and the outer rim of the galaxy. In reality, everything that contains matter, including the human body, is made almost entirely of empty space! Space enables all things to be. It's the stage that showcases all life and experience and without it, nothing can exist. Yet space, in itself, is nothing. There is no mystical substance within it, no magical formula that spawns existence.
Since the laws of thermodynamics suggest "you can't get something from nothing", perhaps the logical conclusion is this; space is pure consciousness - an infinitely vast reservoir of knowledge and creativity and we, along with everything around us, are simply a manifestation of it. Dwelling silently behind the industrious human mind may exist the reality of what we truly are - eternal, indestructible presence.
The universe readily responds to us because, in fact, it is us. We are the crown jewel of life, the ultimate gift from God, and our purpose as intellectual beings is to simply accept this reality and embrace our role as the divine facilitators of a blossoming universe.

Money, Debt and Recession - Mismanaged Earth
Report resumes...
Echelons of Power on Earth
At this time and due to the existence of the aforementioned money scam, government on Earth forms at best a second tier of administration, with a Corporate/Banking stratum as the senior echelon. Quite possibly there exists a further, as yet unidentified, echelon above the Corporate/Banking cartels - either terrestrial or extra-terrestrial in origin. This will require further study to verify.
Per the Natural Laws of Governance: "The avid concealment of power through the agencies of false reports and withheld information, always red-flags the presence of criminal activity." All evidence to date strongly indicate that Earth's situation is no exception.
Most of the inhabitants of Earth believe government to be the senior control echelon despite all evidence to the contrary. This misconception, coupled with a non-understanding of the money system - causes the population to endure a perpetual bafflement over the antics and apparent ineptitude of Earth's governments.
A Cruel and Audacious Scam
As a criminal scam, the money hoax is remarkable both for its audacity and for the damage one small minority of humans is prepared to inflict upon the majority of its fellows so as to achieve material wealth.
The victims of this scam - ninety nine percent of the inhabitants of the planet - have not spotted that they are being done. The extent of their obliviousness actually beggars belief. Careful examination of the situation nevertheless confirms that the obliviousness is factual.
Privilege
The slowness of the human community to notice the very obvious fact that it is attempting to use a dangerously unworkable system of debt as its means of exchange can be attributed to the efforts of the criminal elite to protect its privilege. That privilege is the right given to it by governments of creating money as interest bearing debt and getting it into circulation by lending it to people and governments at interest.
Smoke Screen of Waffle
The aforementioned criminal elite uses its control of lines of communication and information and its control of places of learning to erect a smoke screen of confusing waffle that renders its money hoax hard to see.
At the same time, control by the criminal elite of almost all economic life and its power to create economic strife, recession and the demise of entire sectors by manipulation of the money supply has created in the general population a sense of "forces at work beyond its control." This sense of hidden and insurmountable powers at work has engendered a general apathy.
Humans are prone to hysteria when threatened by influences they cannot see (such as radiation, diseases, global warming) and the hysteria can rapidly descend into apathy - the avoidance of pain through unawareness. Apathy has rendered the general population fatalistic and unmotivated even in the face of economic blight.
Ignorance
In this way the general population through its acquiescence contributes to its own ignorance, its ignorance perpetuates the existence of a criminal system beyond its control and thus the criminal elite continues to operate its money scam and gorge with impunity upon the wealth created by others.
Recession
This scam at this time has been swung into its "recession" phase. A money shortage has been created, causing a recession, which in turn causes the failures of governments and industries, necessitating the selling off of or repossession of private and national assets.
The purpose of recession is to enable the banking elite and its symbiotes to cream off some of the wealth created by the honest endeavors of the global community and to fix the community at large more firmly in the vice of debt slavery. The ultimate objective of this elite is a slave society of "all work for no reward."
Consequences
The consequences of this global scam have been devastating. Poverty spreads epidemic-like through the global community and with it debt and debt slavery. Almost all economic life at this time has become debt-driven. In train, comes a gradual withering of the productive base and commercial infrastructure of nations.
This single factor alone is capable of bringing down the current civilization. In fact, the process of annihilation is more than 75% complete at this writing.
The ease with which the whole situation could be rectified by the introduction of a proper money system eludes the population and its puppet governments.

Echelons of Power on Earth
At this time and due to the existence of the aforementioned money scam, government on Earth forms at best a second tier of administration, with a Corporate/Banking stratum as the senior echelon. Quite possibly there exists a further, as yet unidentified, echelon above the Corporate/Banking cartels - either terrestrial or extra-terrestrial in origin. This will require further study to verify.
Per the Natural Laws of Governance: "The avid concealment of power through the agencies of false reports and withheld information, always red-flags the presence of criminal activity." All evidence to date strongly indicate that Earth's situation is no exception.
Most of the inhabitants of Earth believe government to be the senior control echelon despite all evidence to the contrary. This misconception, coupled with a non-understanding of the money system - causes the population to endure a perpetual bafflement over the antics and apparent ineptitude of Earth's governments.
A Cruel and Audacious Scam
As a criminal scam, the money hoax is remarkable both for its audacity and for the damage one small minority of humans is prepared to inflict upon the majority of its fellows so as to achieve material wealth.
The victims of this scam - ninety nine percent of the inhabitants of the planet - have not spotted that they are being done. The extent of their obliviousness actually beggars belief. Careful examination of the situation nevertheless confirms that the obliviousness is factual.
Privilege
The slowness of the human community to notice the very obvious fact that it is attempting to use a dangerously unworkable system of debt as its means of exchange can be attributed to the efforts of the criminal elite to protect its privilege. That privilege is the right given to it by governments of creating money as interest bearing debt and getting it into circulation by lending it to people and governments at interest.
Smoke Screen of Waffle
The aforementioned criminal elite uses its control of lines of communication and information and its control of places of learning to erect a smoke screen of confusing waffle that renders its money hoax hard to see.
At the same time, control by the criminal elite of almost all economic life and its power to create economic strife, recession and the demise of entire sectors by manipulation of the money supply has created in the general population a sense of "forces at work beyond its control." This sense of hidden and insurmountable powers at work has engendered a general apathy.
Humans are prone to hysteria when threatened by influences they cannot see (such as radiation, diseases, global warming) and the hysteria can rapidly descend into apathy - the avoidance of pain through unawareness. Apathy has rendered the general population fatalistic and unmotivated even in the face of economic blight.

The Awakening of Life
For me, in my mind each life on this planet has a choice which is an individual proposition for all to win or lose. Read into this article what you will, but life as a whole needs to change on this Earth in order to be a winning proposition for all who want a winning proposition. So, before I really begin, I would just like to say, I am not advocating irrational greed or total altruism, no. I am advocating the perfect balance of living to be a genuine winner. Not "perfect" or totally wrong, but to strike the genuine ideal balance to be a genuine winner.
Sure, in this respect, I say this: All I ask for people to do is think for themselves and think for themselves rationally, not fit any mold or be any conception of what I want them to be at all. When you come up with your own balance in that respect, you have awakened.
When I think of genuine sleeping, I think of idiotic imbalance, not necessarily even accidental happenings. Sure, I can tell you, life works only when you are awake and focused, even quantum physics says this in a sense. Especially when you deeply study the theory of relativity or genetic physics. I am not going to go into those particulars here, except to say: Find out for yourself, "the proof is in the pudding" and that is a reality. I do not have the effrontery to say my view is "it" and all of that kind of thing, but I will say that I worked and reasoned out my view over years of understanding and study. The understanding came first, and then I verified it with the study. Studying without questioning and understanding will lead you nowhere. After all, what is rote memorization of facts without using them productively? I can answer that, it is a useless encyclopedia collecting dust. That is my point. Applied knowledge is power.
Now going on with this article and pulling no punches and not playing any games, I say this: Knowledge has to be drawn out and used to have any value. It cannot sit on the trophy case in a box and be useful. To live, we must start by first productively thinking and then creatively taking action to genuinely win. Now that sounds simple until integration comes into play. That is where the power is at within that process. That is where the awakening is at within that process. Sure, I can sit here and say something unpredictable. But, all things being all things, all things are predictable in the sense that natural law cannot be broken, like gravity always working when things fall where there is gravity. Like a body in motion, tends to stay in motion and a body at rest tends to stay at rest until put into motion again even where there is not gravity. So, I repeat, natural law cannot be broken, it can be temporarily disobeyed, but never broken. This is what makes the natural law of reason the ultimate weapon that can be temporarily disarmed by irrationality but never really taken off of the guard. Indeed, reason is not a phenomena, it is what life works by, it is the calling card of rational existence as a law. If we try to break it, it will break us in the long run. I mean this not as anything to put fear into anyone, but as a reality that works for everyone. When you live in reality, you are awake. When you do not live in reality, you are asleep.
As for goals and visualizing and working rationally toward what you want, that is the most powerful and awake thing that you or anyone can do in life and existence. Indeed, strength and efficacy is created, not given. This is what it is, this is what it comes down to. There may be many smaller laws that run existence, but when I mentioned that one in this paragraph, that is the big law behind all of the laws: Strength and efficacy is created, not given. That is the rational key to the awakening of life.

Baby Boomers - It's Time to Awaken Your Life Purpose
Baby Boomer who focus on their God-given purpose live longer than those who don't. This is not very surprising. Everyone has seen someone slide into depression and isolation because their purpose in life - the thing that gives his/her life meaning - suddenly vanishes for some reason. This does not need to happen to baby boomers when they retire!
Many people define their life purpose in terms of their career, especially if they understand it as something of a calling. Many others define their sense of purpose in terms of their family - a strong marriage and raising healthy, happy children. Despite all of the humor that surrounds the idea of a mid-life crisis, many people do experience a crisis at mid-life. And the reason for the crisis is often either that they no longer need to focus on the same things. Whether it is the person who has devoted a life to a career and suddenly awakens to the thought that there must be more in life or that the career really doesn't bring any sense of fulfillment to life, or it is the person who suddenly recognizes a large void in life because the children are grown and gone and the marriage is different, life changes and our sense of purpose and meaning changes.
While I firmly believe more baby boomers have centered their careers around their sense of purpose than did their parents, retirement brings a significant lifestyle change. Those who followed their purpose in their careers will suddenly need to find new ways to fulfill their purpose. Those whose careers were not tied to their sense of purpose need to awaken their life purpose and pursue it in order to find meaning and fulfillment in their lives.
When you discover or awaken your purpose in life, you discover new meaning in everything you do. You might want to think of the various aspects of your life - marriage, family, friends, fun, finances, or work - as points on a circle. The center of the circle should be your life purpose. When purpose is the center of your life and the center of your focus, purpose reaches into all of the other aspects of your life like the spokes on a wheel. When everything is connected in this way, life runs smoother and feels safer, more secure, and more stable. This centeredness in life brings peace of mind and fulfillment and satisfaction. It brings happiness.
When you awaken and live your inherent purpose in life, you are centered and focused and you are able to do less and achieve more. Focus allows you to concentrate your energy and your time on what is most important in your life. Understanding and living your life purpose also defines your values and your actions. Purpose makes it easier to make decisions about what you will or will not do.
So, baby boomers, if you awaken your life purpose you will live longer and live better in the second phase of life. Discover your God-given purpose and discover a life of inner peace, direction, and passion.
My retreats and seminars focus on helping boomers awaken their life purpose so that they could live a longer, more fulfilled and happier life. Stay tuned for my upcoming 1 day seminar on Awakening and Living Your Life Purpose.

What Is Spiritual Personal Development ?
by Dr. G. Steve Kinnard
What Is Spiritual Personal Development?
Dr. G. Steve Kinnard
You might have read a personal development book within the last year or two. Have you ever read a book on spiritual personal development? What is the difference between the two? Personal development books are also called self-help books. Spiritual personal development is not "self-help." Spiritual personal development is "God-help." In that one change of words, from self-help to God-help, is a world of difference.
Spiritual: Spiritual personal development focuses on giving us the tools we need to become mature, spiritual, and productive disciples of Jesus. Spiritual personal development focuses on our spiritual nature. If we feed our spiritual hunger, then the character of God's Spirit will grow in our hearts.
Personal: First, spiritual growth is a personal matter. Although we live with each other in community, each of us has a personal relationship with God that we must nurture. At the end of the day, each individual disciple is responsible for his or her own spiritual growth. Second, we all grow in different ways. We also grow at different speeds. In this way, spiritual growth is personal.
Development: "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Luke 2:52 Jesus grew. Growth is good. Since Jesus grew, we need to grow as well. We need to develop into the people that God meant for us to be. God wants us to mature. He is fully committed to helping us grow into solid, mature, fruitful disciples of Jesus.
Do you have a plan for your spiritual personal development? Most of us don't. This web site will help you develop a plan for your spiritual personal development. It will help you ascertain your spiritual gifts. It will teach you how to make wise, spiritual choices. It will teach you various spiritual disciplines that will help you to connect with God and to feed your spirit. It will help you to set and to achieve spiritual goals in your life.
A wise man once said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Let the journey begin!
