What is Love?

Recently I’ve achieved (received from Nature?) a major mile-stone in my writing career.

My latest work ‘What is Love?‘ available on Amazon Kindle has moved up to #1 on the Kindle under it’s search criteria (out of 1,318) and #3 on Amazon.com Books (out of around 297,000).

This book is, at the very least, controversial in it’s approach to a topic with which everyone is more than familiar.  I mean, who doesn’t think about Love at one point or another in their lives?

I know I do.

I mean, I don’t dwell on it, but I think about it and more importantly I ‘feel’ about it.  I feel within myself for the experience of self-love and I inquire as to the authenticity of my desire for love.

Where is it really coming from?

I mean, do we ever really know where some of these feelings are coming from?  Oh sure, you may think you know, but do you really?  I will openly admit that I am not fully conscious when it comes to the subject of love.  I feel like I’ve advanced quite a bit in my own consciousness, especially as pertains to this subject.  However, I also know that I have a long way to go if I want to experience the more profound state of ‘unconditional love’.

In ‘What is Love?’ you get an eye-opening perspective of what true love is, levels of love, and how we are evolving into a grander, broader vision of love in this world.

My thanks to Integral Psychology, Ken Wilber and JFK University for keeping this subject open and alive for debate.

Back to basics: Meditating for Life

Many of the folks who I have worked with and coached over the years have become regular meditation practitioners as a result.  It’s not just that I am always pushing the meditation (which I am), but also that they begin to experience immediate positive benefit from the consistent practice of meditation.  Thus, it really sells itself, so to speak.

However, what I have often found to be true is that the would-be practitioner, upon consistent application of the technique, begins to wane after around 6 weeks of practice.  The reason that this is so is actually due to an interesting paradox.  The reason why many people quit meditating after around 6 weeks is not because they feel as if nothing is happening or that it’s not working, but rather contrarily they find that their lives are improving dramatically.  In fact, their lives improve so much that they begin to feel as if they no longer have time for meditation, not realizing that the reason things are going so well is as a result of the meditation.

The cycle

The problem is that after a couple of weeks of no longer meditating, the residual benefits of the meditation begin to wear off.  Suddenly, life for this person is not quite as easy and effortless as was the previous 6 weeks.  Now, instead of doing less and achieving more, they have fallen back into the cycle of doing more and achieving less.  Eventually they wind up right where they started off and worse, they may begin to make the association that meditation does not work.  This association is made by the inexperienced practitioners due to the fact that they are not consciously keeping track of what is working and what is not.  Thus, a conscious connection between the ease of life with the regular practice of meditation is not identified.

Now you have an individual who, due to the instant gratification culture of our society, believes that meditation does not work and at worst becomes closed off to the idea of mind/body techniques.

The reality

The reality is that, of course, upon regular practice of meditation life simply gets easier.  This is due to a multitude of factors the least of which is not that you begin to unravel your potential for unconscious reactivity (you act more instead of react).  Additionally you will notice that things, people, places, and events, have a tendency to line themselves up for you with much less effort.  On top of that you will most likely notice an influx of clients or commerce in whatever it is that you are engaged with in your career or business.

In fact, regular meditation lends to the Art of ‘less is more’ and compliments the philosophy of ‘80% of your reward comes from 20% of your effort’.

Thus the reminder is for those of you who started meditation and then quit to get back into the habit and practice of regular, daily meditation.  It was working for you, but you mostly likely became so busy with life activities that you forgot about it.  Now it’s time to resume your daily practice and begin again to reap the rewards of a still mind.

Be the change really means be the change.

Emotional Integration

Emotional Integration

“It could be argued that the origin of all suffering stems from suppressed emotional charges from childhood…”

An event happens, it could be minor or major, and in that moment the child makes a decision.  You might say that this decision is not conscious, but a decision has been made.  This decision is based upon the need to never let this event happen again.  In that instant an aspect of the psyche splinters off and a ‘sub-personality’ is formed.  This sub-personality is created for one specific reason which is to protect the child from experiencing emotional pain or hurt.  In other words, the child now has a repressed aspect of themselves which has taken on an identity and purpose and becomes operational at a level of consciousness which we refer to as ‘unconscious’.

Repression does not simply stem from an event which is traumatic in nature, but also occurs as a result of the inability to understand and process the event.  A child’s brain and consciousness is not equipped to deal with and process most of the information it receives until it has reached the age of 8 or 9 (approximately).  This means that uncomfortable events are not integrated, but repressed due to a complete inability to process them.  In fact, if an event occurs at a young enough age then there may be no tangible memory to associate with the emotional pain of this event.

Thus, the repressed emotional charge can often only be accessed through a means known as ‘felt resonance’.  This means that, rather than search for the memory of an event from childhood in an attempt to locate the suppressed emotional charges, the resonance of the emotion is searched or rather ‘felt’ for within the physical body.  To say that it is felt for within the physical body is even slightly incorrect in that one may become aware through this process that they have an ‘emotional body’.

Really, the source of all pain and suffering in this world is as a result of our collective un-evolved emotional bodies.  The emotional body is vastly misunderstood and neglected in our pursuit of the intellect and material gain through physicality.  In the process of over-mentalization of world events, economy, and politics the emotional body takes a back seat as we attempt to intellectually think of ways to create a better world.  In the meantime, the real answer is constantly over looked, which is the highly neglected emotional body which is accessed through ‘feeling’ instead of ‘thinking’.

Since one cannot ‘think’ the emotional body into total integration then the necessity of being able to ‘feel’ comes into play.  Most people are not in touch with the ability to feel or sense within their own body and thus unable to access suppressed emotional charges through the process of felt resonance.  However, it can be taught and trained to those who are ready and willing to begin to integrate their suppressed emotional charges from childhood.

When the word ‘integrate’ is used here it is in reference to the psyche which has become splintered and fragmented as a result of suppression.  When a suppressed emotional charge is allowed to unconditionally surface then it will become integrated into the psyche.  In this moment a permanent healing has taken place as a sub-personality or splintered aspect of the psyche is allowed to merge into the whole.  The personality is now, in relation to the degree of severity of the suppressed emotional charge, less fearful, more accepting, and more loving.  Again, when this integration takes place it is a permanent shift in they psyche.  In essence, each successful integration could be likened to the completion of a specific life lesson.

The process

When the felt resonance is accessed within the physical (emotional) body and allowed to surface it can manifest in different ways.  Most often it will manifest as the authentic and organic expression of sadness expressed through the physical act of crying.  Sometimes it may result in anger and sometimes it will trigger a physical event in your life to stimulate the release of the suppressed emotional charge at a later time.  In other words, when you set about the process of integrating suppressed emotional charges from childhood, some of the charges are so deeply suppressed that you will require outside stimulus to access them.

As an example, many people are fearful of expressing their anger because they have a suppressed fear of their own anger from an event or series of events during childhood.  Thus, they repress their anger and even rationalize the non-expression of anger throughout their life.  However, once they begin the process of Emotional Integration, the anger will need to come out.  Due to the fact that this anger is so deeply repressed it may require outside assistance to access it.  Thus, when this person begins to use the process of felt resonance to access their suppressed anger that they have been repressing their entire life, their super consciousness will utilize other people, places, and events to assist in this process.

After a sitting with Emotional Integration this person may not have felt any of the anger.  However, due to the fact that their focus was upon the suppressed anger, their consciousness is focused upon this anger and will now use another person to trigger it.  So, a friend or family member or random stranger may now be used as an emotional trigger.  The consciousness of the person utilizing Emotional Integration (Person A) now reaches out to trigger Person B who then responds by doing something that specifically triggers the suppressed anger of Person A.  Since this is a non-physical event and the person is deeply unconscious of their suppressed anger it is highly beneficial to fully understand the process before beginning it.  In other words, awareness of the process assists in any potential integration of suppressed emotional charges that result from outside triggers.

Additionally, this will then help Person A (who is purposefully undergoing this process) to not take it personally when Person B does something that triggers their repressed anger.  Person B is acting unconsciously and not even aware that they have been used as an emotional trigger by the consciousness of Person A.  The job of the person who is undergoing this process is to remain as consciously aware as possible so that they can integrate suppressed emotion as it arises.

Of course, the same thing can happen with any deeply suppressed emotional charges, however once the process has begun one can use felt resonance for much of the work without the necessity of external triggers.

Spiritual News Update: The Approach

April 17, 2012 and the energy is intense now, more so than ever before.  As we approach the December 21st, 2012 threshold energy continues to accelerate at an unprecedented rate and the ‘thought-word-deed’ process continues to intensify as well.  Now, a thought becomes a thing even more quickly than only a month ago and far more quickly than a year ago.  There is no longer the luxury of pretending that your thoughts do not create your reality or that you are the mere victim of circumstance.  Now, you are forced to accept the fact that you are your thoughts.

Well, there is a differing of opinions on this matter to be sure.  Some will argue that they are a Soul and not at all their thoughts.  Indeed, that the thoughts are illusion and that only the Soul is the reality.  However, they yet remain fixed here in their physical bodies enduring the human condition.  I say enduring and many of you frown.  This is ok because it’s ok to frown occasionally.  It’s ok to frown at a philosopher, an information sharer, or a teacher.  You may agree with them or you may agree to disagree or you may dispute the reality which they are sharing with you.

In the end your stay here in the physical is purely subjective as each individual will have a vastly different experience.  Some will endure it, some will love it, some will treat it as a journey, and some will treat it as work.

Of course, if you know me then you are aware that my belief is that it’s supposed to be a game.  I believe that we are here to create what we want, to share our creations with each other, and to have an absolutely amazing time during the process.  For some reason we just got a little confused along the way and started treating life as if it was a job instead of a moment to moment experience.

Now is the perfect time to reawaken your passion and zest for life and living.  The reason that now is the perfect time is not because I am pitching that every now moment is the perfect time.  Rather, what I am suggesting to you is that you are being urged, at an unconsciously energetic level, to move from the mind to the heart.  This means that the more aligned you are with your heart during this critical time period the easier your life is going to be.   Conversely, the less aligned you are with your heart the more difficult your life may be.

What happens when you raise the vibrational frequency of the planet is that it speeds up the creation of things and brings them into manifestation much more quickly.  We have all had that experience of thinking of an old friend that we haven’t seen or heard from in forever, right?  And then we receive a phone call from them out of the blue only to say, “That’s crazy, I was just thinking about you!”

What I am asking you to notice is how many more of these experiences you are beginning to have.  I am asking you to take stock of how quickly your thoughts and words are becoming your physical life experiences.

Are you in pain?  Are you suffering?

In this accelerated time period of intense and quickly moving energy you are given the perfect opportunity to integrate this pain and suffering.  It’s nothing more than suppressed emotional charges which are surfacing in your body for integration.  It is a suppressed part of you that is crying out for recognition and allowance.

Be still, sit silently, and allow them to surface fully and move through you.  As you begin to do this you will start to dis-identify with the pain and allow it to express itself organically through your body.  You may cry, you may scream, you may shudder, you may yell, you may sob, it is all valid.  Your experience, when you fully allow yourself to feel your suppressed emotional charges, is always valid.

When you are done with the integration you will notice a most amazing of sensations within your body.  Peace.  Emotional Integration, although a challenging prospect, is the most profound thing that you can do for yourself.  During this time period of heavy acceleration and intense energy you can make quantum jumps in the caliber of your experience by integrating any suppressed emotional charges that surface for integration.

Your assignment during this time period is to create and maintain a daily mind/body practice.  This will keep you centered, focused, and clear up any emotional turbulence that you may be experiencing.  It will increase your effectiveness in creating what you want during this unprecedented evolution of consciousness on our planet.

Dr. Jerry Lee Hoover Interview on Cure for Cancer

I have always been a believer in the body’s ability to heal itself from just about anything provided that you take good care of your body.  And, in following with this philosophy I enjoyed an abundantly healthy lifestyle.

However, at one point I got myself caught up in the desire to achieve big goals, make big money, and live a ‘celebrity’ type lifestyle.  After about eight years of drinking more and more coffee (mochas) and sleeping less and less, I noticed that I didn’t have the vibrancy and quality of health that I used to.  Eventually, I developed chronic fatigue and some other issues.

Imagine that, ME, a holistic personal trainer and spiritual author with health issues!?

Well, eventually I got a handle on it, but not before I developed a more alarming set of symptoms.  I developed three weird-looking marks on my leg that very closely resembled a form of melanoma.  I immediately panicked and thought for sure that I was a goner.  However, I already had the knowledge and belief within myself that all forms of illness are curable with the right diet and nutrition.  I still needed to hear it from an authority-I needed something to back up my belief system so that I could actualize it.

After scouring the internet for days and days I came across Dr. Jerry Lee Hoover’s website www.cancernaturalcure.com.  I immediately contacted Jerry and he gave me advice concerning my diet and nutritional intake.  I took the advice and within ONE week the spots had reduced by around 60%.  Within two weeks they were completely gone and one would barely be able to tell that they had ever been.

To me Dr. Jerry Lee Hoover is a modern-day hero and it was my pleasure to conduct this interview with him on his views and experiences concerning health, healing, and the cure for cancer.

 

Q: What was your primary impetus for walking down the path of holistic medicine, if I can call it that?  What did you see happening in traditional western medicine and what did you want to do differently?

Forty Five years ago I became a vegetarian and have been interested in natural medicine since then.  Many individuals become interested in the natural approach after they have become sick and were not helped with the conventional approach to medicine.  That was not my case, rather I was healthy when I became interested in the Natural way to heal diseases.   I have learned over the years that the greatest Doctor of all time is one’s own body with the power of God. When you accidentally cut your arm, no Doctor heals that cut, your body is the one that heals it.  So I have found that if one will do the right things to keep their body’s immune system up then they can let their body fight any sickness that comes along.  Surprisingly, when your immune system is up you do not normally get sick.  Western Medicine wants to treat the symptom and not find out the real cause.  Find the cause and the symptoms disappear.

Actually Conventional Medical Doctors hands are tied.  If they step out-of-bounds with the Medical World they can lose their license.  Let me tell you a true story that happened to one of my friends who is a Medical Doctor.  He started treating his patients who had cancer with some simple natural remedies in their diet.  He advocated that they drink carrot juice every day.   Soon his office was full of new patients and the other local Doctors in the area were not happy to be losing their patients.  So they notified the AMA and he was put on probation because there are only three approved methods for treating cancer; according to the AMA they are surgery, chemo and radiation.  Since he was advocating carrot juice, which was not an approved method, he was put on probation and would lose his license if he continued treating his patients with carrot juice.

 

Q: What is the cause of cancer?

Everyone has cancer cells within them.  When we have a poor lifestyle  by eating wrong, not exercising, not getting enough sleep, being overweight, and are under lots of stress, etc. then this lowers our immune system.  Our white blood cells cannot keep up with destroying the cancer cells and eventually we end up with a cancerous tumor.  So I would say the cause of cancer is a poor lifestyle (and genetics, which also enters into the picture).  I have had a web site for many years now on cancer ( www.cancernaturalcure.com) where you can get all the information you need to build up your body’s immune system so that your body can fight and put cancer into remission.  Everything on my site is offered free of charge and you can also down load my book NATURAL MEDICINE free from my site.

 

Q: Can you/have you cured terminal cancer in your career?

I do not cure cancer, but I help the person’s body puts the cancer into remission.   All I do is provide them with the valuable information they needed to follow so that their body can do it for them.  At this time I have over 500 persons a day from over 130 countries that look at my site on cancer, and I pray that many thousands of them have been able to put their cancer into remission by following the simple steps to strengthen their immune system. I do have on my web site the most dramatic case of healing I have ever experienced.

 

Q: Is it ever too late to cure yourself from cancer?

That is a hard question to answer, because so many factors are involved.  How advanced is the cancer, what type of cancer is it, how old is the person, have they had chemo or radiation, etc?  But I can say that all those who follow what I share on my site improve, if they do not get well they are able to lengthen the amount of time they are alive.

 

Q: Can you cure HIV?

HIV involves the immune system and when you strengthen the immune system you also put HIV into remission.  In my book NATURAL MEDICINE you follow the same thing for HIV as you do for cancer.  If a person’s immune system is high they will not get HIV even if they are exposed to it.  There are many couples who live together; one has HIV and the other does not have HIV, even though they have an intimate relationship.  Why does the one not also get HIV?  The answer is because their immune system is at a high level.

 

Q: What can people do to prevent themselves from getting cancer?

Have a healthy life style by eating correctly (not using alcohol, coffee, etc.), not being overweight, exercising at least 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes, drinking plenty of water, dealing with stress in a positive way, being temperate in all that they do, trusting in a higher power of some kind, avoiding harmful chemicals of all kinds (including smoking, chemo, cell phone and microwave radiation, etc.).

 

Q: What is the role of big pharmaceutical companies in cancer research?

I believe that 95% of their research is useless.  Many years ago the American Cancer Society said that diet had nothing to do with causing cancer.  Now they say that one should eat large amounts of fruits and vegetables to help prevent cancer.  Why did they change their mind?  Did they do the research?  NO!!!!!  Private companies did the research and the American Cancer Society was forced to change their original statement.  The drug companies and the American Cancer Society are alive and well because their interest is in money not people.

 

Q: Where do you see the future of medicine heading?

More and more people are turning to the natural way of healing, and the internet has been a great help in advancing natural healing.  At this time the U.S. government is trying to force so many harmful things on the American people. In my prayers daily I hope that we can once again have the freedom that our forefathers had as that is what made this nation great.

 

 

 

Q: What is the most important thing for you in this world?

The greatest gift God has given us is our health and He expects us to use our talents that He has given us to be of service to mankind.  Most people do not appreciate their health until they lose it.  Many people make money their God instead of God their God.  Here is an example:  A young wealthy person finds out that he has terminal cancer and is given 6 months to live.  However, he is offered the chance to trade places with a young transient person who lives on the street and has nothing.  I am sure he would willingly trade all his millions and become that person living on the street just for the opportunity to be alive.  Our greatest gift from God is LIFE and using it to help others.

Fred Gratzon Interview

I first heard about Fred Gratzon through friends of mine in the Transcendental Meditation Movement.  Before I become indoctrinated into the TM paradigm (by being instructed in the art of Transcendental Meditation) I was recommended to read Fred’s first book ‘The Lazy Way to Success’.  Of course, I had already been meditating for some time and also learning about a variety of mind/body techniques that were purported to enhance the user’s life by bringing peace, prosperity, and decreasing necessary physical effort to achieve the afore-mentioned.  Thus it was with great joy that I read ‘The Lazy Way to Success’ which seemed to not only support my new-found beliefs in what many were referring to as ‘The Law of Least Effort’, but also take the concept much farther by advising the reader to additionally avoid ‘work’ at all costs.

However, what was immediately different about Fred’s entire philosophy and teachings was that he had actually done it.  Here was someone who was saying, ‘Avoid work at all costs!’ who was also a self-made millionaire.  Indeed, Fred has enjoyed amazing success and received write-ups in most major business magazines around the world.  However, he will also be the first person to tell you that becoming a millionaire is not his definition of ‘success’.  Rather, Fred feels that actualizing yourself in all areas of your life through creativity, joy, laughter, love, and relationships is what true success is about (I’m paraphrasing Fred here, so hopefully this is close to accurate).  Additionally, Fred is passionate about philanthropy and is a true believer that ‘giving is receiving’.

Here is a little more on Fred’s philosophy about success from his blog http://lazyway.blogs.com

“You avoid work by loving what you do. Loving what you do is infinitely more powerful in achieving success than all the hard work in the world. If you love what you do, Nature will show you her secrets. When Nature reveals her secrets to you, you have the golden key to being successful. Those secrets are the formulas for working less yet accomplishing more. For example, you can strain your muscles working hard to move a big rock or you can use one of Nature’s secrets and use a lever. When you use a lever you work much less but you accomplish much more.”

Here is the interview I recently conducted with Fred:

Q: This is a very powerful, dynamic, and challenging time period for many people on the Earth right now.  More than ever, people want to create abundance and prosperity in their lives.  Yet, all of the doing-doing-doing that is normally perpetuated by the masses seems to yield little result.  Why is this?

A:  For some ridiculous reason, people have come to accept the notion that hard work brings success. Nothing could be further from the truth. The opposite is true—the secret of success is in avoiding work, in finding ways where doing less accomplishes more. So my advice would be—find something that races your blood. Find something that is so captivating that you can’t wait to get up in the morning. Then what you are doing isn’t work at all. It is an expression of passion, of play.

My next piece of advice is to find enthusiastic, creative, harmonious people to collaborate with. Nothing gets the creative juices flowing like a partnership that generates sparks.

Q: What was your intention when you went into business for yourself?  In other words, was your intention to create a successful business, or was your intention to create financial abundance so that you could do what you really wanted to do with your life?

A: I love my freedom. I like to do what I want when I want to. I could never sell my time to someone who would then tell me what to do during those hours. I tried a few times. The longest I ever held a job was two months. I gave up trying at age 22. So for me, starting a business was the only option, assuming I wanted to eat. But my businesses had to be glorious fun. They had to “race my blood” in some way. They had to be socially responsible. They had to be win-win-win-win-wins (In other words, the employees win, customers win, community wins, stockholders win, world wins). They had to shift the paradigm in some way. And they had to have the potential of generating a ton of money (I have a lot of charities I want to support.).

Q: Is it your opinion that anyone at any time can become a millionaire through the philosophy that you have laid out in ‘The Lazy way to Success’?

A: I hate to define success in purely financial terms. One’s health is a greater wealth. One’s personal fulfillment is a greater wealth.  One’s contribution to the betterment of humanity is worth more than money. But if you want to also be materially rich, you need to pursue an enterprise that embodies as many of your passions as possible so you have a tremendously fun time in your quest to become rich. But there’s another important point. When you do what you love, Nature reveals her secrets to you. That turns out to be your ticket to get great success.

Q: When you were at the peak of your business success how long each day did you meditate?  What was your daily practice in terms of the number of times per day and the duration of each session?

A: I’ve been practicing Transcendental Meditation (www.tm.org) since 1968. I do it twice a day. Now what I do isn’t what a beginner should do, but I spend about 90 to 120 minutes in the morning and 90 to 120 minutes in the afternoon every day.

Q: Does one also need to have an intention behind their success, a visual image of what they want to create, or is it simply enough to meditate and transcend the thinking mind?

A: I like having a goal or an ideal of what I want my business to become. And every day I match where I am to where I want to be and try to point my business in that direction.

Of course, transcending is vitally important because it refreshes and renew your vision/goal and stimulates your creativity to you are better able to achieve your goal.

Q: What are the three most important success principles in your opinion?

A: Fun, fun, and fun.

If you are having fun, people, resources, and success will be attracted to you.

Q: What is the most important thing to you in life?

A: The quest for enlightenment.

A little more about Fred

Fred’s latest book is about amazing success as an athlete no matter what level you find yourself at (beginner, intermediate, or pro).  It’s called Instant Athlete, Instant Zone and is available here http://www.instantathlete.com.

“I am lazy and anti-authoritarian. I have a short attention span, a shorter memory, and no intellect. I am devoid of marketable skills and I despise routine. I have never held a job for longer than two months and, in the entire history of the United States government, I am one of five people (at most) to have been fired from a civil service job.”

“Fortunately, these are ideal qualifications for an entrepreneur.”

Spiritual News Update: 2012 and other things

Spiritual News Update: 2012 and other things

Well, most of you who know me know that I am not a ‘sensationalist’ in that I never believed in the whole 2012 ‘end of the earth’ scenario.  In fact, in my opinion it’s sort of ridiculous.  However, I do believe in the acceleration of consciousness, which is another way of looking at the same thing.  The acceleration of consciousness has to do with the natural movement and tendency of the Universe to expand and evolve itself.

Everything Expands

You see, unbeknownst to most people, the Universe is in a constant and never-ending state of expansion.  Our physicists have proven this to be true above and beyond any doubt (at least those physicists on the cutting edge of quantum technology).  All one need do is to google the phrase ‘expanding Universe’ and you will get a litany of the latest information on our ever expanding Universe.  My point is that we should all know this by now.

When things are constantly expanding and accelerating what is the end result?

That’s the trick to it though, when there is a constant state of expansion there is no end to anything.  What if our Universe was only one in a million Universes?  Or, perhaps a trillion?  Or, perhaps a trillion-trillion?  Could the human mind even conceive of such limitlessness?  What about infinite Universes?  Now we’re talking about endless numbers the likes of which are simply inconceivable to any human mind.

What about conceivable to human consciousness?

Perhaps human consciousness has the capability, when at the deepest most profound level, to conceive of the beginnings of limitlessness.  But, I emphasize the word ‘beginnings’ because in order to conceive of something, even in consciousness, the human consciousness needs parameters to define it by.  Thus, event the deepest level of consciousness needs to create a limiting factor in order that it may conceive that which it is witness to.

Perhaps you are wondering what my point is?

My point is that right now on this planet the vast majority of people are living such a limited version of their potential which is being dictated by a preprogrammed perception of reality.  In fact, one might say that for most people reality is being preprogrammed by other people.  In fact, for most people, their lives are being controlled via the implementation of limiting ideas and beliefs by a very few people.  I could go on to say here a very few ‘powerful’ people, but this begins to alarm the reader that I may be a ‘conspiracy theorist’.  Rather, I am a spiritualist in that I believe I create my own reality.

However, as a spiritual revolutionist I also feel it is my job to free other minds.

Freedom from what?

Freedom from the concepts of limitation instilled by the false belief in the need for competition for limited resources.

There are not actually limited resources on this planet, but there is limited thinking.  Limited thinking, which is propelled by fear, is the source for all famine, war, greed, and injustice.  The idea that there will not be enough to go around or that I cannot have what you have is what creates suffering in this world.  In other words, the desire to have what you think you cannot now or perhaps ever have.

In an ever-expanding Universe there will always be more than enough resources for everyone.  This is because the resources come from consciousness itself and are thus unlimited.  However, human consciousness shapes and defines these resources which mean that it can also create the illusion that these resources are limited.  The reality remains that there is always an over abundance of resources to go around for everyone.  However, the preprogrammed belief in limitation is so strong that it takes almost a herculean effort to overcome the addictive quality of belief in limitation.

Human beings have become addicted to the idea of ‘getting ahead’, which redefined means ‘above everyone else in material achievement’.  This type of thinking begins to narrow the human perception of consciousness as it manifests from nonphysical into the physical.  What this means is that the unlimited begins to take on the illusion of limitation through the perception of that which believes in limitation.  Thus, the more you believe in limitation the more you will manifest, via your belief-perception, that which appears to be limited in your reality.

“Easy for you to say!” you may be thinking.  “But, how do I effect change in my life at this level?  How do I cease limited thinking and manifest abundance?!”

When it comes to actualizing the type of change that we are talking about here my belief is that a gradual process, involving a daily practice, is the most effective way to create lasting change.  In other words I do not believe that there are quick fixes to making permanent change in your life.  Sometimes people can get lucky if their consciousness is pliable enough (will readily accept a concept which can be turned into a belief that will work for them right away) and begin to effect positive changes relatively quickly.  However, for most of us I believe that the answer lies in creating a daily mind/body practice of some sort.

If you are stuck in limiting beliefs about the state of the world, your own personal finance, creating your dreams and desires, or about having the perfect loving relationship then this advice applies to you.  Doing what you’ve bee doing over and over again is akin to what some people refer to as the definition of insanity (i.e. doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result).  Instead, you must be ready to create some space in your life where you can begin to implement a mind/body practice that will start to affect some deeper level changes.  If you are one of those who has been plagued with self sabotage, negative thoughts, and constant set-backs then it will be near impossible for you to effect change without beginning to unravel your inner psychology.

There are many mind/body practices available to utilize, and yet only one principle to adhere to when beginning: consistency.  You must be consistent if you wish to create lasting positive change in your life.  Some of you who know me have heard me say ‘consistency equals results’.  In fact, I would have to say that it’s the only thing of which I am personally aware that yields results in life.  However, I add the caveat that I do not mean consistently doing the same thing over and over again when it’s clear there is no change being effected.  In other words I am not suggesting that if you consistently hit your head against a brick wall that one day you will have the life of your dreams.  Rather, I am suggesting that when you consistently utilize a daily mind/body practice that you will begin to actualize permanent and lasting change in your life that will be positive.

As we approach the date of December 21st 2012 I feel that it is important to remember some things.

• We are living in an ever-expanding Universe.
• We are creators, creating our unique perspective through our own individual consciousnesses.
• Most of us have massive amounts of preprogramming about our reality which does not serve us, not in the slightest.
• The world will not come to an end on December 21st 2012 just as consciousness will not come to an end on that day.  There is no ending to that which is omnipresent, limitless, and constantly expanding.
• Our mission, as I see it, is to transcend all limitation and fear, that we may become self-actualized.
• A consistent mind/body practice done every day for the rest of your life will make more positive change than anything else you could ever do inconsistently.

When people say, ‘wake up to your divine birthright’ what they really mean is that you are far more deserving than you dare to imagine.  Taking time out to do nothing will give you more time to do everything.  Sit in meditation today and begin the journey of a lifetime, or many.

Will Smith and The Law of Attraction

Will Smith and the Law of Attraction

Many moons ago….

Slightly over a decade and 25lbs of muscle ago I used to be a bouncer in Los Angeles.  The first job I acquired as a bouncer was at Gotham Hall on the 3rd street promenade in downtown Santa Monica.  Gotham Hall has a certain amount of prestige and is thus sought out as an ideal location to hold what are referred to in the film industry as ‘wrap parties’.  A wrap party is when the crew and cast are done filming the movie and have a party to conclude the hard work and time spent together during the filming.  I happened to be working at Gotham Hall during the time when they hosted the wrap party for the movie ‘Wild Wild West’ starring Will Smith and Kevin Kline.

As luck would have it they stuck me on the back door where I couldn’t see any of the celebrities for the party or have any fun.  After about an hour, however, something interesting happened.

Two black Escalades with tinted windows pulled into the alley and slowly began parking across from where I stood.  One man got out of the first truck and began directing whoever was in the second SUV into the tricky parking spot.  Then, the second guy got out and it was Will Smith.  I realized right off the bat that the first guy must be his body-guard or some such.  In any event, they crossed over to me and both shook my hand.  We talked for a few minutes during which time Will Smith gave me a hug and shook my hand not once, but twice!  I was in awe, not that I was in the presence of a celebrity, but that I was in the presence of a very humble, and down to Earth person who radiated pure goodness. It instantly changed my perception of celebrities and what it takes in this world to reach the pinnacle of success.  My new-found feeling was that a big part of the reason why Will Smith was so successful was due to the fact that he was simply a great man.  In fact, at the time I reasoned that this made up 75% of what made him so successful and the other 25% was his insane work ethic.

Will Smith speaks on the power of thought and Universal Laws

Recently (in the past 2 years or so) Will Smith has come out to discuss what it takes to be who you want to be in this world.  In his words he would much rather be ‘an idea instead of an icon’.  What he is referring to here is that he wants to represent possibility and the human potential.  His idea is that you create who you want to be in this world and you do it by deciding who you are first.  Will says, “I believe that I can create whatever I want to create.”  Will goes on to site that ‘ideas and thoughts’ are physical things in this Universe just like everything else.  Will believes that you create your own reality and he is willing to die for what he believes in.

Creating your own reality is the goal for those of us who can rise up to face our deepest fears and step into the spot light to become who we came here to be.  The first step is to decide who you are, not even who you want to be, but who you are.  What do you represent?  What ideal, mindset, action journey, concept, belief system, or goal is your defining characteristic.  You see, this is actually the most difficult part because it requires that you fully believe in yourself in order to make this decision.  In turn, that requires that you face your deepest fears and confront them head on.

Creating your own reality is your Divine Birthright and it’s the reason you came here.  You didn’t come here to run with the herd or to follow in someone else’s footsteps.  You came here to create your own reality and in your own way.

This is the time and now is the place!  Become a conscious creator by taking the first step to decide who you ARE now.

Did you know that lifting weights increases the muscularity of the Heart Muscle?

Did you know that lifting weights increases the muscularity of the Heart Muscle?

The Heart is a Muscle

The first order of business is to make sure that you are aware that the heart is actually a muscle.  The heart will bend and flex to pump the blood through the veins and arteries in your body.  Of course, we all know that the function of the heart is vital to the maintenance of the life of your physical body.  As such, for those people who get regular cardiovascular exercise, there is a better chance of continued optimal functionality of the heart muscle.  This is because when you do cardiovascular exercise you are forcing your heart and lungs to work in tandem at an accelerated rate which in turn creates more vascularity in the heart itself.  In other words, cardiovascular exercise actually increases the efficiency with which your heart is able to pump the blood during the normal, non exercise induced hours of the day due to the fact that the heart itself is now receiving more oxygen supply.

Hypertrophy of the Heart Muscle

However, what most people do not know is that weight training, or weight lifting, has an alternate and yet equally beneficial effect upon the heart muscle as well.  What happens when you lift heavy weights on a continual basis, such as you might do in the gym, is that the heart muscle responds just like the rest of the muscles in the body.  In other words, the heart muscle will respond to an anaerobic burst in the same way as any other muscle in the body.  When forced past physical capacity within a short period of time the body will undergo hypertrophy which is ‘muscular growth’.   The heart will also undergo the same process and actually become more ‘muscular’ from lifting weights or weight training.

A quick footnote here to make sure that this is not at all confused with ‘enlarged walls of the heart’ which is created from some forms of heart disease.  Enlarged walls of the heart usually occur when someone is not getting the proper regular exercise or is living a very sedentary life style.  In this case the heart muscle is now forced to work harder, but without the benefit of added muscularity or added vascularity.  Often the individual has just not taken proper care of their body, has put on weight, and has a less than desirable diet.  Now the heart muscle actually has to work harder to pump the same amount of blood flow through the body, which in turn begins to wear out and enlarge the walls of the heart.

Conversely, weight lifting can and will increase the muscularity of the heart walls.  This is very different phenomena because the walls of the heart do not expand and flap around loosely with no pressure, but rather they expand and contract with extra force creating higher pressure-but with much less exertion!  Now, your body receives an improved supply of life giving blood, nutrients, and oxygen to all of its extremities with much less work from the heart muscle.

Best Exercises to Increase Heart Muscularity

The best exercises to do are compound movements or exercises that involve multiple muscle groups at the same time.

Exercises in rank according to beneficial effects upon the Heart:

1) Squats using a barbell-this is doing squats with a barbell loaded with weight upon your back.

2) Leg Press Machine-doing leg presses with a 45 degree angle leg press machine is second only to the barbell squat.

3) Squats using dumbbells-holding two dumbbells (one in each hand).

4) Dead Lifts with Barbell-traditional barbell dead lifts are very good also using heavy weight.

5) Bench Presses-Barbell bench press, when you use heavy weight, can also give you some of the same benefits.

5) All other weight training/lifting exercises, provided that you use heavy weights are also beneficial, but fall down to #5 in as much as pertains to hypertrophy of the heart muscle.

Blowing away the myths and legends

One of my desires in creating this article is to blow away the myth that weight lifting is somehow bad for you in any capacity.  This is simply not true as the benefits from heavy weight training are almost too numerous to mention but include:

1-Increasing the muscularity of the heart.

2-Increasing lung litre capacity.

3-Decreasing body fat.

4-Increasing RMR or resting metabolic rate.

5-Increasing bone density (and fighting osteoporosis).

6- Increasing the secretion of life giving hormones in the body like GH (growth hormone).

7-Strengthening the body, both muscularly and internally.

Have you ever wondered what a Life Coach is or what a Life Coach does?

Here is my short definition:

“A Life Coach is a professional who inspires, motivates, and make you accountable to achieve your wildest dreams above and beyond what you ever thought possible.”

Of course, there are different types of Life Coaches with different specialties.  However, my feeling about any good Life Coach is that no matter modality they are using that they will still adhere to the above definition.  In other words, each Coach may go about it in a different way, but the end result is still an expansion of you, your business, your ideas, your creativity, your relationship, and your dreams.

You know what’s funny about when you pay someone for their advice and ideas?

You do it!

That is one of the most amazing things about hiring a Coach that takes place is that you actually begin doing things that you hadn’t previously done before.

Additionally, a Life Coach can help you to hurdle emotional or physical obstacles that stand in the way of your success.  An outside person can help you to see a bigger picture than you had previously been able to see on your own.  Of course, you could always ask your friend Jim to tell you his opinion, but Jim will be less motivated.  This is because Jim is not being paid and has his own problems to deal with.  Additionally, Jim will not make you accountable and follow up with you to make sure you did it.

Life Can Help You To:

1) Be inspired!  In other words, help you to begin to think outside of the box and see possibility where before you only saw limitation.

2) Get motivated!  A Life Coach will help you to feel motivated, keep moving, and take physical action steps to start knocking down your goals.

3) Get out of the way of yourself!  A Life Coach can see where you are sabotaging yourself and help you to avoid self defeating thought patterns and actions that are bringing you down.

4) Heal emotional wounds from the past.  A good Life Coach can help you to heal your emotional past and kick depression and apathy in the butt!

5) Utilize dynamic Vibrational Magnetism.  Oh yeah, this too!  A good Life Coach can help you to actually become MAGNETIC to the people, places, and events that you need in order to succeed in life!

6) Prioritize your life.  A good Life Coach will help you to take steps that create results and eliminate unnecessary steps that do nothing to further your life.

7) Decide what you want!  A really good Life Coach will help you to definitively decide the direction you want your life to go in, thus saving you valuable time and energy.

8) Feel unstoppable!  A super duper amazing awesome Life Coach will instill within you a feeling of ‘unstoppability’ which means that you become impervious to anything that would stop a normal person from pursuing their dream life.

This is a time period in the history of our world FULL of potential!  Most people think the opposite that during time periods like these of economic hardships that there is less potential.  I say that there is so much more!

Now is the time for you to BREAK OUT on your own, expand yourself, create your dreams!

Let me help you with that.

I invite you to visit my site www.christopherpinckley.com and enter your email address for your first free consultation.

What have you got to lose?

Nothing, that’s what.

However, what you stand to gain is getting your life back on track and achieving the dream that you came here to live.

Live your best life now!

Blessings,
