Gratitude

 

Swami Beyondanada is a writer, comedian, and facilitator whose humor has been described both as “comedy disguised as wisdom – and wisdom disguised as comedy”. Today, I am grateful for the wisdom and humor and sense of direction people like Swami Beyondananda bring into the world today.

In this dogma-eat-dogma world where fear is fueled by terrorism -- not to mention anti-terrorism -- I say it’s time to declare all out peace. Those of us who’ve been developing inner peace all these years, time to let it all out. Time to affirm everyone’s right to bear arms -- provided those arms are used for hugging. Instead of giving in to “fear gnomes” – those little gnomes of gnawing fear that have been injected into the body politic-- let’s get right to the heart of the matter.

Let's declare an emerge 'n see. Time to emerge from beliefs that no longer serve us and see how we humans have been tricked into behaving foolishly. Time to emerge 'n see beyond the dueling dualities to find solutions bigger than the problem. Time to emerge n' see there's no escape. God has us surrounded. Might as well surrender. We are all part of the inescapable Oneness.

One Spirit, many paths. One Planet, great diversity. One humanity, each of us totally unique ... just like everyone else.

I have often said that if we keep doing what we've always done, we will only get what we've always gotten. It stands to reason that if we try doing something new, we increase our chances of getting different results. So while it makes no sense to take up arms against warfare, it makes all the sense in the world to lift up arms and embrace anything that nourishes peace.

Now in this shrinking world that could definitely use a good shrink, it is understandable to look upward in hopes of the Messiah. But I say, we need to look at each other instead, and face the truth that we are looking the Messiah in the face. We have met the Savior and he is us! Here are all these children of God praying for Jesus to intervene, but we cannot expect to be fed intravenously forever. Time for children of God to grow up, for Goodness sake, and become adults of God instead. It turns out both the creationists and the evolutionists are right. The Creator created us to evolve in consciousness. Otherwise Jesus would have said, "Now, don't do a thing until I return."

I have a dream, so allow me to tell a vision. Each year at Passover, the Jewish people affirm the possibility of the Messiah: "Next year in Jerusalem." Next year always comes, and the Messiah never seems to come with it. Maybe it's time to make a break with the past and actually act as if the Messiah is already here. You know, fake it till you make it. So put it on your calendars. Next year let's celebrate Past Over in Jerusalem, and declare that the past is over and a new day has begun.

Hold this vision with me please: Leaders of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths together in celebration -- doing the Hokey Pokey. They put their whole selves in ... that is commitment. They pull their whole selves out ... that is detachment. They turn themselves around ... that is transformation. And that's what it's all about!

SS Redondo close closeWhere Does The Dream Begin?

If you want the life of your dreams – you need to dream! Many of us have stopped dreaming – both for what we want – and the kind of dreams we have when we are sleeping. But did you know there is “no in here and out there” in a quantum world! 

The dreams you have at night are nothing more than your Higher Self trying to communicate what the noise of the day doesn’t let in! And most of us are still not listening. There is valuable information here!

How much valuable information are you missing because our culture has ignored both daytime dreams and nighttime dreams?

Awaken yourself to your nighttime dreams – so you will be better able to “dream” during the day – to create the life of your dreams!

Sunshower has years of experience helping you to unravel your own meaning of your dreams. It is not about someone else telling you what your dreams mean – it is about someone coaching you in the symbolic language of dreams so you can discover more about YOU!

Contact Sunshower for her introductory offer (valid till April 10th) for personal dream coaching. And watch for our upcoming seminar on dreams!

A weird word, right! – Web Logs – Blogs! Maybe a weird word – but a great way to communicate. Often I get notice of things I know you wouldn’t want to miss – but I hate to fill up your mail box.

So I post those great things on the Blog - sometimes there are words of great wisdom – and sometimes I just let you know “Where We Are Today”. Did you miss Dr, Michael Beckwith in conference with James Twyman? – did you miss being part of Earth Hour? – an initiative that in 1 hour saved the equivalent green house gas emissions equivalent to taking 75,000 vehicles off the road for one whole year in Australia alone!?... aaahhh…. So Where Are You Today?

Living In The Law

 

Judy smallSo, You’ve Watched the Secret 10 times… and it’s just not happening!

You and over 2 million others - proud owners of the DVD The Secret - practically worn out by now, I bet – and what is turning out to be the real secret - is one you hate to tell anyone - that your life still looks a lot the same as it did before!

Sound familiar? … well, you can come out of the closet and tell us. We understand!

At Soul Abundant we’ve been teaching this for years. We know there is much more to learning this than could be squeezed into one DVD – I mean, really – did anyone think in less than 90 minutes you could get all you needed to make big changes in your life?

It’s the Feelings

First, you get an idea of what you want – and our 3 step method – BE – HAVE – DO helps you be exactly sure of what you are asking for... but this is not just about positive thoughts or asking – it is about how you feel about what you are asking for – that’s where the vibrational energy comes in. 

That’s why understanding a little about quantum physics helps you see the difference between Positive Thinking and the Law of Attraction.

So, let’s say you have been feeling lousy about being broke – for a long time. I am sorry – but it’s just not going to happen in the instant you decide, “Hey, I want to be rich” – now, the universe should respond. There is that little nagging voice still chatting away – “Where is the rent money going to come from?... “How do I pay my bills”.

And what is the feeling you are having while you are asking? – if your feeling is fear, and doubt and scarcity – that is what you are attracting!

Pay attention to how you are feeling – learn to listen to your feelings – name them – and then learn techniques to keep them in alignment with what you are asking for.

 – if you are asking for wealth – you have to start feeling like you are already wealthy – if you are asking for a partner to love – you have to start loving yourself and acting as if you already have that relationship.

Don’t give up – this stuff really does work! Check out Tips for a suggestion on one technique we teach that will help you with this! – or better yet join us at one of our seminars or ask us to do a seminar in your area! Six hours of techniques will move this right along for you.

Tips to Attracting

 

tipsapril1graphicHow do I Keep that Happy Feeling When the Wolf is at the Door!

Tough, isn’t it! You asked for greater financial abundance and it hasn’t arrived – and you keep getting the sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. So you spend most of the day thinking about what you do not have – worrying about how you are going to manage – thinking “this ‘stuff’ doesn’t work. And, of course – if you are one of the 2 million who have watched the DVD, you know that “you get what you give your time, energy and focus to”. So, you keep getting more of the same!

Let’s give you one quick technique to help you along. Remember – one technique isn’t going to solve it all but if you decide to keep learning the skills – your life will change – and you will feel that inner peace.

This is the one that works for me – a Channel ChangerI always say if you don’t like the music - change the station. EVERY time you get the little nagging voices – select a new message – one that raises your vibration – something like – “I am so happy now that I have an abundance of money is my accounts all the time”. Now, sometimes you are in crisis and this is a long sentence – when those thoughts are coming fast and furious, you can just use key words –“abundance – money - all the time”.

Keep saying it over and over and feel what it would be like if that were true –now I know you are going to say something like – “but that’s not realitybut isn’t reality what we are wanting to change!” Do you really want change?

In our last newsletter, we printed the story from the New York Times about the production history of the DVD “The Secret” and the business relationship between Ester and Jerry Hicks and producer, Rhonda Byrnes. Following is the Hick’s side of the story…

hicks2From Jerry & Esther Hicks of Abraham-Hicks

Dear Friends,

Nearly two years ago, while on-board our Mexican Riviera Cruise, Prime Time Productions did an interview with Jerry and me, and with Abraham, in response to an agreement that we had all carefully crafted together for a television show that was to be aired in Australia called "The Secret." We were told that "The Secret" would be based on our work and that they would seek out other teachers who were in alignment with our work. We reviewed, on DVD, two other projects that had been created by this production company and found them to be beautifully done, and good-feeling pieces.

Since Jerry and I had never before stepped into the public forum in that way
with our Abraham work, we followed the advice of our publisher, who
introduced us to an intellectual property rights attorney who assisted us in
drafting the agreement which would guide our involvement with this project.
He explained to us that although he had included in the intellectual
property rights license agreement that we were to receive a small percentage
of the net profit from this project, and 10% of direct video sales, that it
was very unlikely that (from his experience) we would receive any
substantial compensation from our participation, and we were not unhappy
with that arrangement. Our decision to do it was not motivated from the idea
of making money from it, (unless there was profit to share) but because we
were stimulated by the excitement of this beautiful producer, and when we
met her and her beautiful crew, we easily loved them all.

As time went by, it became apparent that the television network that we had
been told would air "The Secret" was not going to do it, at least not right
now, and so the production company began seeking other ways of marketing
their beautiful project to recoup their very large investment. While Jerry
and I were uncomfortable with what felt to us like a rather aggressive
marketing campaign (just not our style, nothing wrong with it) we stayed
focused on our busy schedule and really had very little to do with what was
happening with "The Secret."

Eventually we received an email from the producer of "The Secret" lovingly
explaining (we never have received correspondence from her that was anything
other than extremely loving) that the contract that we had all agreed upon
and signed was no longer sufficient for their further distribution of the
project in the areas they were now seeking to distribute the project, and
that it would be necessary for us (Jerry and Esther) to relinquish our
intellectual property rights in these areas forever and redo our contract or
they would have to reluctantly edit us out. It was clear, from the lovingly
written email that they did not want to edit us out, but after conferring
with our publisher, and then our intellectual property rights attorney, and
finally with Abraham, allowing them to edit us out was the path of least
resistance. Abraham's words were very clear and easy to understand:
"Whenever you are given an ultimatum that says, 'if you don't do this, then
we will have to do such and such,' it is best that you just let it go and
move on. Otherwise there is always another, and this, and this, and this..."
Now, it seems there is quite a firestorm surrounding our dis-involvment with
"The Secret". We are receiving so many emails and letters and face-to-face
questions from disappointed people regarding this, so we want you to
understand how we feel about it.

We think that "The Secret" clearly and beautifully presents Abraham's Law of
Attraction in a way that is easy to understand. It is filled with stunning
beauty and beautiful people, many of whom are our personal friends. We love
the way "The Secret" moves us, and we feel joy rise within our hearts every
time we watch it. We feel the power of it, and the clarity of it, and we
love "The Secret".

It is our desire that, rather than being upset that our part of "The Secret"
will be omitted in future offerings of it, that instead you enjoy the
original Abraham version, as it is, at this time, and that you look forward
to what other incredible things these talented people may bring to you.
These are people who clearly care about the planet, who want to be of value,
and who, in our opinion, are of tremendous value.

Financially speaking, we have been very well paid for our participation with
this project... which has amounted to a staggering amount of money. And if
money were the most important factor, we assure you, we would have found
some way of staying involved.

So, we're out here doing our thing, enjoying the incredible expansion of the
message of Abraham, and are so looking forward to the wonderful things that
are in our future. Abraham says to us and to you:

It is our desire that you be easy about all of this. There is nothing that
has gone wrong here. Everything is in alignment. The Universe will offer a
steady stream of uplifting avenues to all of you.

There is great love here for you, Abraham.

Our love,

Jerry & Esther
