It had been about a month and at first she had wondered if it would bother her, but she had been convincing herself that there would be something else to fill the gap…

This morning was different, she awoke with a start. No alarm, no sudden noise or movement, this morning it was as if she’d taken the high speed elevator from deep sleep to high anxiety.

Loss washed up like a tide that brings garbage onto a pristine beach and her mind went into hyper active mode. Suddenly feeling like a politician in front of the press on a feeding frenzy, not knowing how to answer the tirade of questions…

Why didn’t you do something while you still had a chance? Why did you have to wait till something is gone before you appreciated it? These were just a few of the questions that made her head spin realizing that there had been many things throughout her life that she was going to get to, never did, and then deeply regretted it.

It’s too late now, screamed the voice in her head. She wanted to bang the side of her head with the flat of her hand as if she would somehow be able to knock out the noise of regret. But the problem is that all too often “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.”

Just for a moment let yourself think back…what did it feel like when you knew it was too late and you just knew ‘you’ve missed out’?

What if you could find a way to roll back time, would you?

Have you ever been in a situation where you wished that you had done something a little differently, knowing that if you had, things would have turned out the way you wanted instead of keeping you stuck?

Sometimes we make decisions based on ‘urgency’ and circumstances (fear) rather than what’s truly important for us at a heart and soul level.

In most cases fear-based decisions, even unconscious ones, tend to lead you further away from your goals and desires…something none of us really want.

If you’ve attended any of my programs, you know that the ego mind will always try to play tricks on you and keep you living a less spectacular life than you deserve. (Strangely, that’ is its’ job).

You’d also know exactly how to take control of your mind, focus your thoughts, emotions and feelings on the things that you do want more of.

Most importantly, you’ll actually learn exactly how to start attracting what you desire into your life a lot faster than you ever thought possible.

If you have not attended any of my programs yet, I strongly encourage you to consider attending “The Secret Beyond The Law of Attraction™” a full day event, this coming Saturday May 10^th 2008.

Why?

Well for starters, this Saturday May 10 2008 will be THE LAST TIME I’ll be presenting this popular event and if you’re not there, there’ll be no rolling back time!

My event schedule has become so packed; my team and I have decided to retire this program in order to make more room for other programs and courses that have been pre-booked.

Some people have said that I’m crazy to stop presenting this popular program and I can appreciate their sentiment as there’s some very juicy material in there.

I really would have liked to keep holding this workshop since it’s a great way for people who are either old hat at manifestation or just starting out with it to get a solid foundation that will set them up for success. It’s a very energetic event that keeps you engaged and is literally packed with solid content you can walk out and apply into your life immediately.

But as they say, ‘All good things must come to an end’ some time. Sadly that time for The “Secret Beyond The Law of Attraction™” is now.

So if you’re still trying to get out of the starting blocks with your manifestation efforts and want to really get results quickly, this will be your last chance to get into this one day program that will set you up with such a solid foundation that your manifestations simply can’t fail.

Now I know that many of my subscribers don’t live in Vancouver and that travel to this event is not always easy, but so far this year we’ve had people coming in from far off places like Croatia, Brazil, and even Australia, so I know that if pursuing your dreams is important enough, it’s not a hard decision to make.

So with that, I feel like I’ve put my cards on the table and I trust that you will recognize the opportunity presented here as one that won’t be repeated - so please don’t blast me with hate-mail next week because you missed out. “The Secret Beyond The Law of Attraction™” one day event WILL NO LONGER BE HELD after Saturday May 10th 2008.

Reserve your seat today as there is limited availability already due to overbooking from a previous date.

Here’s the link where you can reserve your spot: http://www.secretbeyond.com

I’m looking forward to seeing you there as we say ‘good bye’ to an old friend.

With Gratitude,

Dõv Baron

When a candidate or for that matter when anyone speaks have you ever found yourself asking; what are they actually saying?

You can hear the words coming out but all too often we’re not sure what any of it means.

What is the truth?

Is it the words someone’s mouth has formed or is it the ears that hear those words? Words can so often be lacking in communicating the real or deeper truth contained within them. In fact only seven percent of all communication is actually the words spoken. None the less that can be a very important seven percent!

It is always prudent to remember that there is no way that the mouth that speaks the words can guarantee that the words the ears hear are the same ones that were spoken.

If an individual ‘hates’ Bush or for that matter any other candidate, does it matter what that candidate says? Or will it always be heard through the filter of ‘hate’?

Some will tell you that ‘truth’ is spoken from the heart and although that is true, even words from that heart cannot pierce the walls of ignorance. Because even though ignorance has ears, its ears are ornamental and deaf to anything but the ‘truth’ the ignorant claims as reality.

What are lies?

Lies are the things we tell ourselves or others that cause pain; however they can also be the things we use to falsely protect ourselves or others.Maybe one of the saddest of lies is the lie between those who love each other. A lie for whatever reason that leaves one feeling betrayed is a lie that runs deep.

The only thing more saddening is the secondhand lie, a lie that is made up based on conclusions that don’t make sense in any other context than a sound byte. The second hand lie is the lie that accuses in the shadows and runs in the background like a thief in the night where it both steals trust and the opportunity for truth.

The secondhand lie makes fact of innuendo and often rips apart those who love each other. The secondhand lie is designed to undermine not only the accused but also those who believed in the accused.

There is in fact only one way to know the truth from a lie… it is to sit in front of the other speaking your truth with an open heart, and just as importantly to hear with ears connected to an equally open heart.

Sadly this is not possible, nor desired by those who busily and often unconsciously protect their ego with the knife of innuendo. People who truly care about each other communicate by speaking and listening with open hearts.

Those who will not do so think that they are protecting themselves from pain, while in fact all they do in the long run is inflict pain upon themselves as much as on others.

The highest agenda of the ego-mind is the need to be right and the ego-mind will sacrifice the truth and even love to protect its’ self.

When Obama, Clinton, McCain, Wright, Bush or even a friend speaks, pay attention not just to what you hear but also the context of what is being spoken. Words without context can be made to mean anything the editor decides, even if the sound byte editor is not in the studio but within your own ego-mind.

It is said that a fanatic will “die for a lie”: But is that really true or is it that they are willing to die for the truth they have made out of a lie?

Truth and Lies are held in the fine line not between right and wrong but instead between what is spoken and what is heard. Many great teachers have left us and in their passing the words they spoke from their hearts have been interpreted by the minds of others and as a result many beautiful truths have become distorted lies that are used for one person or group to control, judge or reject another.

We are not victims of the lies of others; we victimize ourselves when we refuse to understand that each man and each woman stand on the edge of the ground they know as their own truth. Because to paraphrase, (This is what I heard, it’s not necessarily what was said) what Pastor Jeremy Wright said in a press conference on April 28^th 2008, “both the captor and the captive are contained and restricted by the same system and neither are free”.

In every moment that ground of ‘truth’ is crumbling underneath the pressure of those who cling to the need to be right. Be careful how you judge your candidate, your friend, enemy, or anyone you meet. For as the Native American saying goes; unless you have walked a mile in his moccasins do not presume to know why anyone says or does anything.

It has been said that in all lies the truth can be found, but is it not also true that in all truth lies can be found, if that’s what you are looking for?

All meaning is subjective and each one of us has an ego-mind that holds very little claim to its own subjective meaning, because our ego-mind claims the subjective as the ‘truth’ it will both live and die for. The question returns; ‘will you die for a lie’? And maybe an even deeper question is: What will you kill with the subjective meaning you call the truth?

I leave you this time with the words of Paul Simon in the 1968 song, The Boxer: “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.”

40 years ago today something tragic happened and that tragic event gave birth to a flood of awaking and opportunities that have changed the world.

From the hallway I could hear the muffled sound of the TV in the other room. Curiosity pulled me into that room to find my mother watching our old black and white set. I glanced at the set where I saw a man I didn’t recognize speaking in a way that commanded my attention. As compelling as this man was, there was something else going on in that room that had an even stronger pull… my mother. Looking over at my mom I saw her dislodge her glasses upwards as she wiped a steady stream of tears from her eyes. I had seen my mother cry many times. To be honest at that point in our lives there seemed to be an abundance of reasons for my mom to be in tears, but this was different.

As a ten year old boy seeing my mother cry was something that always disturbed me. I walked over, put my hand on my mom’s shoulder and in an attempt to comfort her I asked what was wrong. Looking up at me, she tried to smile but it wasn’t really working. She stumbled for words and pointed at the TV saying: “He’s dead?” I looked back at the set and the powerful charismatic presence of Martin Luther King Jr. rang out like a bell in the fog.

As a boy living in a ghetto environment of a dirty industrial town, I had no idea why my mother would be crying about a man I didn’t think I’d ever seen before. I didn’t recognize him as a movie star, a pop star or even a politician. Why was she crying? In my boyish naivety I asked “who is this man?” My mom said; “that’s Martin Luther King, someone shot him.” I was still puzzled. My mom continued through a flood of tears and said; “He was a great man, and now he’s dead”.

I became fascinated with finding out who this man had been. I asked my uncle who I considered to be the smartest person I knew and he told me of Martin Luther King’s fight for civil rights; how Dr. King had followed Gandhi’s model of peaceful demonstrations. He told me of all the people black and white people alike who had stood by Dr. King’s side for the civil rights of all people.

April 4^th 1968 was the day I not only became politically aware, it was the day something within my very soul was awakened. I began to grasp the difference this man had made, the impact he had left as a legacy, not just for black people but for all people. That day I began to understand that one person can make a massive positive difference. That day as a naive 10 year old I decided that I wanted to have the same kind of massively powerful impact on humanity that Dr. King had had on humanity, including my mother a Jewish woman living in a place that might have been a million miles away.

I of course, had no idea how I could make that difference; and to be honest, it seemed impossible based on the “facts” of who I was and the environment that surrounded me. I just knew that day that something within me had changed and it would never be the same.

Many people have seen Dr. King’s message as a message about freedom for black people. To me, his message was much deeper than color or creed. It was about the understanding that we are all the same, that at a soul level we are all on a journey, and it’s important to remove the blocks to our spiritual, mental, and emotional evolution. Although we may perceive those blocks as being outside ourselves, the truth is that they would all instantly disappear if we would commit to removing the ones on the inside.

40 years ago today something tragic happened, a great man, a man who will remain a giant, died. I still see some of the injustices he fought against. However, that tragic event gave birth to a flood of awaking and opportunities that has changed the world.

Dr. King’s message is, I believe, even stronger today than it was in the 60’s. Today is a sad day for me because it marks his death. However, I believe it is the strength of our heart’s desire to become the magnificent beings we were born to be that keeps taking this world, (despite what the media feeds us), to a place of knowing that we are all one. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can separate us from the truth of who we truly are… A gift!

Remember this always: You are a gift from the universe, and when you are truly willing to know it, you will become the gift to THE world that you were born to be.

Long live Dr. Martin Luther King, in all our hearts, minds, and actions.

Human beings are hard wired not only for survival but also ‘significance’. Significance is the need to be seen, (to be important). All of us at some point have gone through a painful experience that perhaps has left us with the feeling not being important, even invisible.

Because we all need to feel significant to somebody we develop ways to cope with by pain by attempting to restore what had been lost or taken away.  Some people find significance by being the class/office clown. Some find it in acts of kindness, others in obnoxious behavior. Some find it in material possessions or social status. While others find significance by starting each day deciding who will feel the force of their violent criticism and attack, be it verbal or physical. Still others start their day deciding to make a positive difference. The truth is if you are one of the latter, then the former will likely attack you for your commitment because their cynicism has corroded their belief in either themselves or humanity, most likely both. To that I would say; ‘nil carborundum illegitimi‘.

The bottom line is; we all need a reason to get out of bed in the morning and if you don’t decide to find an uplifting and inspiring reason then you are likely to find a vindictive one.

Each of us start our day in a similar way… we awaken from little or enough sleep to be greeted by a new day. For some that awakening is to a day filled with open possibilities, for others, another day of survival and hopefully avoiding pain.

As some of you know, in June 1990 I fell while mountain climbing and quite literally got smashed to pieces. The recovery was long and grueling. I have been a therapist for more than 20 years (with a short sabbatical to recover from the fall). I still am amazed by the resilience of the human form. Our bodies are magnificent at recovering from the most horrendous of experiences. But recovery on physical level is only one part of healing.

We have all had the experience of knowing someone directly or indirectly who unexpectedly suddenly ended their life. We can all generate an opinion about it; some say it’s a coward’s way out, others say that it’s tragic. However we judge it, often the news comes as a shock. Most of the time, the person who ended their life “seemed” at the very least okay maybe even strong, funny, or successful. These people, famous or not, have left us with the biggest unanswered question of all: Why?

I can still remember back in 1990 the light pushing through the skin of my eyelids with violent persistence that I start a new day, while my mind screamed at full volume; “go away”. At that time a new day meant another very loooooooong day of excruciating pain that I had no certainty that I would be able to cope with it. Prior to that I recall many times where a new day filled me with the potential of more joy, laughter and maybe even some insights and enlightenment. But as I lay there with my back soaked in sweat from contorting my body attempting to ease pain, I yearned to find some peace in the darkness.

During the nearly two years of recovery from the fall, in order to repair my damaged body I had to endure six painful re-constructive surgeries and many more since. The greatest challenge I had to overcome, by far, was my mental and emotional state, which had been crushed to a greater degree than any of my bones.

Within six month those who didn’t know me before the fall would have said that I looked fairly normal. The healing on the outside was very fast, however for almost two years I was never more than a thought away from absolute defeat. Many times I simply wanted to quit life…

Our curious minds searches to answer this “why” question with all kinds of psychological insights about depression, repression or even oppression but the truth is that these people for whatever reason no longer could find a reason to get out of bed in the morning, that dealing with whatever the day would bring would be so much more difficult and painful.

Many times during my recovery I simply wanted to quit life…but my burning desire to fulfill my purpose before I exited this planet nagged me to go another day. As this desire grew I made a series of conscious decisions to transform the pain into fuel - fuel I could use to power the next stage of my journey.

Very recently, I was speaking to a dear friend who has been going through a rough time. Some people around her had decided that it would somehow benefit my friend by tearing her self esteem. It was so devastating that it shook my friend’s foundations, values, and created enormous self doubt. Even though my friend is in no danger of ending her life, this experience has left her in a lot of pain.

During our conversation I felt compelled to ask my friend to find the reason/s she gets out of bed in the morning.

I understand when times are tough it can be hard to remember why we even bother: So I asked my friend to remember a time when they felt totally inspired. What was it about that moment that was so inspiring?

When you feel totally inspired are you thinking of the past? EG: how far you have come, what you have already overcome. Do you think about the future, EG: The difference you can make, the lives you might positively impact, or any number of vast possibilities before you?

When you are feeling totally inspired what do you say to yourself and how do you speak to yourself? Do you tell yourself; you can do it? Maybe you tell yourself that you will not let ‘them’ defeat you; ‘nil carborundum illegitimi‘, (look it up). Do you speak to yourself in a loving and compassionate way or do you speak to yourself in a boot straps kind of tone?

When you are feeling totally inspired what do see? What kind of images do you create in your mind, are they movies or still pictures? Black and white, or color? Are you in the picture or observing the picture?

When you are feeling totally inspired, what are you believing about yourself, your situation, or other people?

And when you are feeling totally inspired what does that feel like in your body?

As the mind becomes focused on each of these elements, it takes the thoughts and produces the emotions you desire.  When the thoughts direct the emotions, feelings are generated.  This becomes quantum fields of information that broadcasts out into the universe and in turn attracts to you whatever you are broadcasting out. It doesn’t matter if what you are putting out into the quantum field is conscious or unconscious, if it’s going out into the field that is what you will attract. (More details in my EBook: “The Secret Beyond the Law of Attraction” available at http://www.sbloa.com

Each of us have our own versions of “look at me, aren’t I important”. The question is…does yours enhance your life or keep you in your unresolved drama?  Does it enhance the lives of others or sweeps them up to multiply your drama?  Are you dealing with or just distracting and pacifying your pain? If it’s the latter and you do decide to take the steps to deal with whatever the pain might be for you, the need to ease it by attacking others will go away.

Gandhi said: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”.

I challenge you to ask yourself; “Why do I do what I do? What is my intention? Make a decision about what it is that gets you out of bed in the morning. That way when someone who can’t find a fulfilling enough reason attacks you, the anchor of your soul will remain solid in the emotional storm.
