Here’s part of a talk I gave recently on how we accumulate teh fear-based programming that unconsciously rules our lives. I also talk about the cure for this kind of programming as well! Enjoy!

These lists are not meant to be inclusive in any way. These are just some quick markers to consider as you are either reacting fearfullyto your experience of life or responding lovingly to it. The truth is, since our true nature is love, we already know, deep within our core whether we are living from fear or love. Fear is only the symptom of a temporary disconnection from our true nature. Let’s become more conscious of those moments when we are choosing to react out of fear instead of responding out of love. In this way we become ever-more able to transform our unconscious, fear-based, programmed reacting into conscious, love-based, spontaneous responding.

Even wondered why people (including ourselves) wander from addiction to addiction? People will move from a smoking addiction to a food addiction to a video game addiction to an exercise addiction to being addicted to behavior patterns in their romantic relationships in an endless progression. Many times these people, while deeply in the middle of the next addiction, will triumphantly proclaim that they beat the previous addiction.

If you haven’t figured it out already, specific types of addictions are just manifestations of a single underlying root cause that is unconscious for most people. Addictions are maladaptive strategies for handling the issues coming from the one root.

Okay, so what’s the one root? It’s FEAR. Yep. Once again, fear is at the root. And what is the remedy for fear? How do we overcome fear? Since fear is the experience of disconnection from the Love which is the Gound of Being or the Creative Source of All Being, allowing this Love into our lives is the cure.

Just as in the human world right now, fear or disconnection from love is as readily available as the air, so too is the Love of which I write. This Love is an energetic frequency that is like the zero-point energy photons that permeate every single nook and cranny of space-time. All we have to do is ask and receive it. For the adepts, it is more like simply allowing it to permeate one’s being. It’s that abundant and available. And as we allow this love to flood our beings, we are ever-more empowered to let go of the maladaptive patterns of addiction that keep us stuck in ruts and endless cycles of control, suffering, abuse, neglect, and imprisonment.

Allow the Love that is flooding the universe to flood your entire being, and you will eventually see the end of addiction and end of recovery and the beginning of a new life of freedom, peace, and bliss. Enjoy!

WARNING: IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOWING IT, DON’T READ THIS POST!!!

Every single problem that any individual person, any group of people, or any aggregation of people has can be traced back to a single root cause. This has been true from the very beginning of the human race until the present moment. This single root cause will also be behind every future challenge that the human race will create in the future as well.

What’s the first cause of all of our troubles? It is choosing to believe that there is real separateness. The first cause of all problems is believing the lie that there are separate subjects and objects in the cosmos and not a unity of being. What flows from this belief are perceptions and interpretations leading to the most basic fear. This parent of all fears is the fear that one can cease to exist. It is the fear of complete and utter annihilation (AKA:non-being). This fear is the root fear that multiplies itself into innumerable fears and step-children of fear like addictions, abuse, neglect, and other maladaptive patterns of behavior.

Since separateness need not be true (despite interpretations of bio-body sensory inputs to the contrary) it leads to erroneous choices from the start. If the foundation is not sound, then everything built upon it will be subject to the weaknesses inherent in the flawed foundation.

So what is the solution? The answer is to allow the energy that belongs to the Source of all Being into the core of our very own selves. We are made in the invisible image of the Creative Source. To overcome the illusion of separation and the fears that flow from buying into that illusion, we need to consciously participate in the Power that flows from The Source.

The human race (for the most part) has shut itself off from the flow of this energy that belongs to the Ground or Source of All Being. It is the experience of this energetic poverty that leads people to experience erroneous perceptions and interpretations that cause suffering.

This Source Energy is ready and waiting for each and every one of us to allow it into or lives. As we allow more and more of it to permeate our beings, we are thus transformed from fearful creatures into inheritors of immortality and the peace and bliss that flow from the absolute certainty that we will continue to live richly for all of eternity.

So why are we here? Why do we exist? What is the point of it all?

For as long as I can remember I have struggled with questions such as these. For the longest time, I did not think I knew the purpose of my life. I wondered about it as if it wasn’t already permanently imprinted upon the very core of my being.

Even now I occasionally choose not to remember why I’m really here. I’m guessing that most of the people reading this are choosing to forget the simple fundamental truth that forms the foundation of every life on this planet. Even I succumb to the seductions of lies like: “Making money is the most important thing.” Or “Creating things is the most important thing.” “ Or “Controlling perceptions is the most important thing.” The world is as screwed up as it is, not because people don’t know the truth, but because we persistently choose to ignore what we know to be true in the depths of our being.

We exist to make manifest the fullness of love in our receiving of all of the love we can possibly receive and in the giving of our love to the fullest possible extent.

This may sound soft, shallow, naïve, or foolish to some of you reading this. I don’t care. I have struggled through my own bullsh*t for way too long to uncover this truth in my own life to try to dress up something simple, good, beautiful, and true so that others will be impressed by it.

And in case anyone thinks that living a life of reckless unconditional love is too soft a target, I know instantly that those people haven’t actually given it a shot. There is no more challenging goal in this world-apparently and temporarily ruled by fear and its many ugly stepchildren.

Love isn’t about being nice. Love isn’t about being a doormat for bullies. Love isn’t about looking the other way when fearful people do their business all over each other.

Love is about speaking the truth, even when it isn’t what people want to hear. Love is about standing up for others and for what is good and true and beautiful, especially when it is not popular. Love is about staring bullies down and taking their blows, even to the point of death if that is what it takes to help people wake up from their walking comas. Love is about helping people who are acting out of fear to see what seeds they are planting and what crops they will be harvesting if they do not change their habitual patterns. We’ve seen, heard about, and read examples of people doing these very things. We are being called to do the same in the name of True Love-Love that never, ever gives up.

To love with reckless abandon is to risk losing everything while hoping and trusting that all will end up winning in the end. And the winning in the end is not a some kind of hollow victory over others. It is not the raising of a shiny trophy. The victories that matter are the daily triumphs over our fears. We are to seek victory over living lives of commiseration and mediocrity. Greatness is available to each and everyone one of us, not necessarily in the ways that  most people would recognize, and yet those of us who are now waking up to the repercussions of choosing to focus on our fears instead of our loves need to start playing a much bigger game in the cosmic arena if we are to help ourselves and others to risk everything they think they have in order to experience everything worth living for.

Let us play all-out at life. Let us play for lasting victory over our lesser selves. It is these kinds victories that bring true and lasting rewards-our true and permanent ownership of absolute and infinite worth.

I’ve been coming across a lot of circumstances lately where people (usually women) are trying to do so much for others without doing for themselves first. Here are a few of my thoughts on this pattern:

How can you give to others what you are unwilling to give yourself? If you think you are actually able to give what you do not have (which you are not, I guarantee it.), how much longer do you think you can continue to help others when you will not do yourself the same kindness? Another way to put this question is: “How far will a car go without gas in the tank?”

How did you come to the conclusion that you are not worthy of receiving what you need and desire? What circumstances in your life did you interpret to mean that your life was worth-less than someone else’s? And how do you think that treating yourself like garbage is going to do anyone else a lick of good?

Why is it not right to decline most of the opportunites for service that come your way? A life of holistic success is not built on obligation, guilt, fear, or so-called “responsibility.” Success is a fruit of love embodied and lived out. Just say no. It was good enough for Nancy Reagan. It’s good enough for you. Say it often. Say, “Gosh, I’d be interested in doing that; the thing is I have other commitments to attend to.” If they ask what those are, you can say, “Well, my first one is to myself, to give myself the time, space, love, and attention I need to be able to serve in the ways that I have been gifted.” I’d like to see someone argue with that one.

Perhaps you are afraid of what others will think of you if you take care of yourself before taking care of others. It is possible to let others think what they will and do what you want regardless of their potential or actual opinions. If people criticize you for being kind to yourself, know that they are fearful that you may be right and they may be wrong and jealous that you are doing what they wish they could do. Let them eat their hearts out! 

Giving yourself what you need and desire is also much easier when you are clear on the unique work you are talented and gifted to do right now. Admitting that you know this and living as if you know it will go a long way toward giving you the strength to say no to everything that is not as strongly connected to your life purpose as you would like. The work you have been given is enough. Let others do their part so that you can do yours.

So at the risk of repeating myself, “How can you give what you don’t have?” Get what you need so that you can give to others out of your abundance, instead of your poverty. This is a much more fun and fulfilling way to live. Stop trying to drive on empty. Fill your tank and soar to your dreams! It will do us all a world of good!

People want to be certain, and they will do everything they can to feel as certain as they can. The challenge is that people have not been taught how to become certain in the ways that will serve and support them in fulfilling their true destinies and desires.

The easiest way for people to experience certainty is to focus on the past. People tend to think of the past as being more certain that the future. While this appears to make logical sense, this approach will not produce the kinds of results that we actually desire.

Truly successful and powerful leaders are much more certain about the future than they are about the past. Those of us who are living the lives of our dreams and creating the world we desire are absolutely certain that the future is being created based upon what we intend, think, feel, and do right now.

This doesn’t mean that we are concerned with every detail of how we will create the future we desire. We know and trust (have faith) that we are creating our desired future right here and right now by following our intuitions, taking our inspired actions, being who we really are, and experiencing very powerfully the feelings that we anticipate feeling when our intentions are manifested on all levels of reality (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually).

I know that most people do not know how to do this. Yet most people are unconsciously doing something very similar without realizing it. Most people are so focused upon what they fear with such strong feelings of aversion that they are intending a future that will make them even more fearful than they were in the past. Because of the powerful energies that are currently flooding the earth, humanity’s ability to create what it fears is increasing at an incredible rate of speed with even more amazing consequences that we can experience through the media each and every day.

Everything that is perceived as a problem that is happening right now is a direct result of the persistent and powerful focus of the vast majority of human beings on what they are afraid of and what they do not want. That kind of “certainty” will create a future super-charged with fear and fear-inducing circumstances from the most-microscopic levels to the most macroscopic levels of reality.

When we release our fears, we get to experience certainty that the world will be transformed into a place that increases and enhances life instead of decreasing and diminishing it. Those of us who know what we are doing are using the very same energies that accelerating the forces bent upon fear and destruction for the purposes of creating the world we desire. Those who are living out of fear, no matter how powerful they may appear, are powerless when compared to those of us who are consciously creating the world from a foundation of Love.

I look forward to more and more of you joining those of us in creating a world of unbounded possibilities and unlimited life! It’s a whole lot more fun than the alternative!

How often have we said, “What a nice person!”? How much have we wanted that affirmation for ourselves? There have been times in my life that I wanted other people to think I was “nice,” regardless of whether I actually was nice or not.

I don’t feel this way anymore. Honestly, I would love to see the word “nice” disappear from use by all people for all time. It’s time for us to let this word go forever.

Nice is not who we are called be. We are called to be who we really are, and I guarantee that nice is not one of those things.

Here’s how I see nice people. If you either see yourself as a nice person or want others to see you as a nice person, you may not like what follows. So in case you are wondering, I’m definitely not going to be nice to nice people and those who like nice people here!

1. Nice people are pushovers.
2. Nice people are doormats.
3. Nice people do not ask for what they want.
4. Nice people do not negotiate for what they want.
5. Nice people do not tell the truth out of a fear.
6. Nice people care way too much about what others think of them.
7. Nice people have way too much patience with the status quo.
8. Nice people sacrifice themselves and their own truth upon the altar of social conformity with the creed of “I’m not good enough” playing like a looped recording in their brains.
9. Nice people don’t rock the boat.
10. Nice people don’t do interventions.
11. Nice people let bullies knock people down grind them into the dust.
12. Nice people would rather allow themselves to be ground into the dust than stand up for what is good, right, and true.
13. Nice people are afraid of their own power.
14. Nice people avoid the necessary conflict that occurs between compassion and injustice.

You may think I’m not being nice in being so tough on niceness and nice people. That’s very perceptive of you. Having suffered from an addiction to niceness for way too long, I’m a little passionate about setting people free from this particular prison.

So if you are a parent, stop telling your kids to be nice! Encourage them to be who they really are and do what they really want to do! Give them the freedom to say “No!” even as you continue to be the boss. Teach your kids to negotiate by negotiating for what you want!  

Stop playing the tape in your brain that says certain things are not nice. The world doesn’t need nice right now. The world needs the truth expressed with as much love and compassion as possible. And the truth cannot be expressed from a place of niceness. It can only be expressed from a solid foundation of spiritual empowerment.

We have the problems we are currently having as a species for two fundamental reasons:

1. Most people are afraid to tell the truth.

2. Most people are afraid to hear the truth.

This is why it is so critical that we banish niceness from the face of the earth as soon as possible. We need to be bold in speaking the truth from our perspective. We need to be desirous of listening to the truth from all of the sources of truth in our lives. When we have released these fears around speaking and listening to the truth, we will have the world that the prophets and sages have spoken of for millennia.

Go forth and release your fear! Speak your truth with bold compassion, and listen for the truth in everyone and everything you encounter!

Here are a few discoveries I have made as I as connect more and more to my passions.

Passion has the power to bend time and space.

I now experience time and space in ways that are pretty unusual to people who are living in fear. For example, I live what seems to me to be the equivalent of several years of my former self’s life in a single day. The amount of progress I make daily toward the realization of my goals is remarkable. Part of that is due to the fact that I don’t need as much sleep as I used to. Another part of it is that people are so attracted to my passion, energy, and enthusiasm that they are either interested in working with me, know people who are, or and interested in seeing how they can help me achieve my objectives. Of course I am also very interested in helping others achieve their dreams as well (I am a coach!).

Passion helps you do or refrain from things that in the past felt like sacrifices.

Passion has gotten me to a point where I eat healthier, take better care of my body, avoid doing things that do not move me toward my goals, and do more things that take me to my heart’s deepest desires. I not do these things without any sense of deprivation, loss, or lack. I do the mjoyfully because I see how they are helping me achieve my own dreams and make the difference that I came to this planet to make.

Passion increases flowand ease.

Things now just happen for me because I am impassioned. I do not need to fight, struggle, control, fear, plan excessivly, procrastinate, doubt, wonder if it’s going to work out, etc. I can now trust that I am on my path and enjoy the ride.

Let’s let go of everything that is keeping us from connecting with our passions. When enough of us do this, the world will be changed in a single moment!
