Going down …”Deeper”

Standing on the beach is not the same as getting in the water. Being knee deep, is not the same as swimming. Swimming is not the same as snorkeling to see below the surface. And snorkeling is not the same as strapping on the tanks and really diving deep into the depths…

Very few have the courage to strap on the tanks and dive deep into their own psyche. I am honoured to be working with some very brave emotional divers!

I’m excited for everyone who’s already registered for the “Deep” Modules; two things I can absolutely guarantee; One you’ve never been part of something like this before. And two, you’re going to get some life-changing perspective by completing this tele-series.

I’m already getting feedback from people who were on the live program telling me that they’ve already having breakthroughs and that even in the first module things are getting pretty “Deep”.

Don’t worry if you weren’t “live” on every tel-module, I’ve posted the recording of each call for replay, so you can listen to it when you’re able to. Because you will want to give these modules your full attention many people like yourself listen back a couple of times in order to dig and go “Deeper”.

In fact, these are the first three modules of the “DEEP” 7 day intensive retreat event, and must be completed by all  participants.

So whether you’re able to attend in person or not, you’re able to “eavesdrop” on the first three modules.
It’s my gift to you.

In my last article: “Promise to Be Normal” I stated that:

“Most people’s lives are nothing more than the realization of a promise they made to themselves.”

Come with me and let’s take this a little deeper…

These promises that we made to ourselves were, in all likelihood, “unconsciously” chosen and chances are you made them when you were very young.(Although as you read this you may have had a “light bulb moment” and realized exactly when you made your promise and why you did it).

My life has been dedicated to discovering, understanding and sharing with my friends and students how we create our reality. However, as much as we may want to jump on the Law of Attraction bandwagon for a quick fix solution for reality creation, what you may want to understand is this–most people are creating their realty at a very unconscious level.

In fact, for most people even the idea of “creating reality” becomes only vaguely conscious when something different shows up. When that happens, they quickly write it off to luck or fate and scramble around to get things back to “normal.”

Now there’s that fascinating word again: “Normal.”

For most people reading this you likely realize that normal is at least somewhat subjective. That means, what’s normal for you may not be normal at all for someone living on a different continent in a completely different culture…right?

Normal is relative to the individual. Church on Sunday morning is perfectly “normal” to a “born-again Christian” while, smoking crack on a Sunday morning is equally normal to a crack addict. What’s really interesting about all this is how we just love to judge people who don’t fall inside the realm of our version of “normal.”

However, “normal” goes much “Deeper” and the implications of holding onto your “normal” are vast! Without even knowing it, many individuals are unconsciously busy policing themselves and their reality to keep things normal. Again please note: the normal I’m speaking about is your own version of normal. It is the place you have become comfortable; it’s what you are used to. In fact, you may even feel a little threatened if something interferes with your normal.

You may have noticed that many of things we held as normal are disappearing. For instance, when I say normal some people automatically think of the suburban family with two point five kids, a white picket fence and a minivan. Let me be absolutely clear: the normal I am referring to has must greater implications, not only on how you see/judge others, but also on how much joy you experience.

You are probably already beginning to see that what I’m referring to is your own particular brand of normal.

Have you ever heard the saying:
“Situation Normal All F*%ked Up?”

Well for some people unless the situation is “all f*%ked up” it’s not normal, since that kind of situation is their own brand of ‘normal’…

That being said; here are a couple of challenging questions for you to bathe in for a while…

What have you made normal that might not be healthy?

What promise might you have made to yourself that without you realizing it, is in fact keeping your life pretty much the same as it was?

Is that why your life doesn’t shine the way you want it to?

Let me put it another way….

Is your future going to be your past with a paint job?

Let me explain what I mean… If you were to take a look into the future of most peoples lives you would see that for the largest majority of them, their future will be pretty consistent with their past – except there’s possibly a slight and fairly uninspiring level of improvement. It’s like they took the old jalopy and gave it a paint job in order to convince themselves it was new.

I’m not saying this to me mean, we just need to be honest. Seriously, put some thought into it, most people are “waiting” for something or someone to bring about the change they say they want. Maybe “the secret” or some other magical thing will come along and solve their problems, but in all likelihood it won’t and in a moment I’ll tell you why.

Why is it that most people lives pretty much the same from year to year?

Why are so many people ‘stuck’ when we live in a time where there is more knowledge and more availability to that knowledge than ever before in history?

Are we on automatic and if we are, can we get off it?

Let yourself marinade in this thought:

“Most people’s lives are nothing more than the realization and the rationalization of a promise… A promise to whom, you may ask.

A promise or a series of promises they make to themselves”.

We either (consciously or unconsciously) promise to live ‘better’ than we have, and than those around us have, which means we are willing to butt up against the people, situations and what’s ‘normal’ in our lives. Please be clear , I’m not talking about being some kind of a rebel without a cause, what I am talking about is going “Deep” within to discover your authentic self.

Of course there is another option: Promise to not be a ‘problem’, take a look around, decide what’s ‘normal’, be quiet, accept your circumstances. Which means you also must accept how you are treated as a result of being with the people you’re with in those circumstances.

The question worth asking yourself is which set of promises are you living by?

Because that will absolutely determine every circumstance of your life for the next 5-10-20 years

I look forward to reading your feedback.

Each Ending is a New Beginning

What follows is an except from my upcoming book: “Don’t Read This…Unless You Want Mare Money!” subconscious tactics of the truly affluent. Due for release May 4th 2010

The years immediately preceding 2008 were politically turbulent ones. The United States and many other countries were actively involved in two major wars and several smaller ones. The threat of terrorism had become
media normality and the housing market had gone nuts. Nonetheless, money was flowing, there were lots of jobs, and the Internet was booming.

Despite insane gas prices and greater evidence of global warming, cash was flowing and people were still buying bigger and bigger homes, Gucci bags, and gigantic SUVs. The economic theme song could easily have been made famous by the Beatles:

“Money…that’s what I want.”

Then in the late summer of 2008, there came a whispering of something many refused to hear. Many went out and borrowed more in hopes of buying even at a high price because they were sure it would get higher. Suddenly, at least for those who refused to see the signs, the economic airbus crashed into the mountain of hope.

A wave of economic devastation that would potentially collapse the global economy began to drown us.  A tsunami of fear flooded the globe and jobs disappeared under the surge. Homes were foreclosed. Banks went under and long established old money companies went bankrupt or needed the government to bail them out.

Was it all over? Would business recover? Was this some kind of an apocalyptic warning that the end was near?

These were questions spoken about on the news, late night talk shows and in living rooms around the world.

As I write this book, it’s more than a year ago since it was made official that we were in a global recession. Although bankruptcies were up by an unprecedented 34.6 percent over the first quarter of 2009, a subtle but growing sense of hope is returning.

This hope is not for things to return to the way they were, although there are many who would want it that way.

The growing hope seems to be for a growing “healthy economy,” based more on collaboration that direct and adversarial completion.

The world and its economics have changed, and I don’t believe it can ever be the same.

The belief in a stable job has buckled at the knees.

The corporate ladder has been pushed over.

The result is that many people are less willing to be dependent on some outside force for their financial certainty. In many ways, it is that quiet rumbling within the middle class mind that has catalyzed this book into reality.

Yes, the economy has changed. However, the opportunity to live the life of your dreams did not die with the announcement of a recession.

There have been many recessions, 14 since the “Great Depression” of  1929 and although people thought some of them were going to be financially fatal, in the long run that was never an actuality.

In this new economy we will have to do things differently, and this book is dedicated to you discovering how you cannot only survive but flourish by tapping into what you have that no one else has—even if you don’t know what that is—yet.

So let’s use this ending as a new beginning.

What if the apparent economic devastation ends up being a gift, what opportunities await you?

I look forward to hearing your comments and feedback.

I know you’ve been told and may have even come to believe that that becoming wealthy is all about luck and connections.

That’s just not the whole truth! As someone famous once said;

Luck is where opportunity and preparation collide.

Yes, becoming wealthy does have a connections component; have you noticed that successful people like to hang out with other successful people? It makes sense that if you were making tons of dough, would you want to hang out with a bunch of people whining about how there’s not enough?  No!

The secret to creating lasting success and wealth is all about you finding and recognizing something I will refer to as your “Unique Value Set.”

Your Unique Value Set is the part of you that is worth way more than any X number of dollars an hour.

It’s the part of you that when you discover it will allow you to see opportunities that you would have previously been completely blind to. It’s the part of you that is already super qualified and doesn’t need another degree or certification in order to tap into an abundant flow of cash when you need it.

I know that you may have many false ideas and myths about money, wealth, and your access to it. Clearly, in today’s economic climate, it is of vast importance for you to discover keys and unlock the potential within you that you may never have known were there. Fairly obviously, the focus of this article is about money/wealth/abundance, how it works, and how you can have more of it.

Maybe you already have a very nice flow of wealth and general abundance…that’s great!  However, let me ask you as much as anyone else…what would your life be like at the next level? I mean let’s face it, at some point in time, no matter how much money you are earning, there’s a point when you realize that you are living in a comfort zone that may well have become a gilded cage, and you know you want to explore and experience life at the next level.

Complacency is the prison where those who worship the god of “it’s not that bad” live.

I know that many will tell you that money and wealth are not spiritual… I genuinely believe you can be wealthy and spiritual but there again you can be poor and spiritual. It’s simply a matter of which “Wealth Station” you are tuned into, what you are resonating to attract and repel. However, owning your power to choose to have either is not the same as settling for financial struggle because it’s some kind of a ‘good spiritual’ excuse for not getting off your butt and taking action.

By the way, if you think poor people are more spiritual, let me fill you in: I grew up in a ghetto where poverty was rife, and although there were some wonderful, loving, and even the occasional spiritual people around, the people who we might judge as being less than spiritual were definitely more in the majority.

Let me share with you:

It’s a lot harder to be connected to spirit when you’re running from the rent man.

Money is not evil. Money is neutral.  Money is not pure good.  Money is nothing without ‘us’ using it for whatever outcome we decide upon.

Nevertheless, isn’t it time you had enough of it in order to do what you need to do?
Let me ask you: Just as an example, how would your life be different if you had an extra $750 a month? What would that mean to your lifestyle? What would that mean to your family and the people you love? How would you feel about yourself with an extra $20,000 in your bank account? Now you may be reading this and you’re presently making $200,000 +, and $20,000 doesn’t seem too big to you.

Just stop for a moment and and ask yourself, what would your life be like with an extra 40% added to your annual income?

Oh, one more thing; if you’re feeling guilty or unspiritual for even thinking such thoughts, you might want to check your Bible and read about King Solomon, the richest king who ever lived. According to the Old Testament, God seemed to like him well enough.

Not owning our power to create and be in the abundant flow of funds because of some false spiritual pretense is a great way to abdicate personal responsibility. (But it’s still B.S)

Those who decide to step up and own their power, see personal and even collective responsibility as a spiritual act that allows them the freedom to become more of who they truly are. Any fool can be doubting and skeptical, only the courageous do what it takes in the face of what “they” say they shouldn’t.

Do you have what it takes to step up, own your power, and create the kind of wealth that sets an example of what success and wealth building is all about?

I look forward to reading your comments and feedback

Until next time live with the courage to claim your Unique Value Set and the abundance that goes with it.

With gratitude, Dõv…

Have you ever been to the desert? The desert is an enigma!

Get there in the middle of summer, the ground is cracked and dry, and if there is a breeze it is a hot one that whips up the top layer of what was soil and turns it into burning dust. Sometimes, years lapse between rainfalls. Can you imagine how dried up and lifeless the desert appears after two, three, five years without rain?

Having visited the desert in the summer and observed the lifeless landscape, it seemed unbelievable when I was informed that in spring, there would be an abundance of flowers…It seemed as unrealistic as a person looking at their empty bank account and trying to believe that there would be an abundance of funds flowing into it soon. There again:

The dreamer cannot explain the process of dreaming to one who refuses to dream.

Can you imagine, I actually went back to the desert again in the spring, and it was breathtaking! Where there had been dried up lifeless dust just months before now flourished with streams and a blanket of the most magnificent colored flowers as far as the eye could see. I even remember seeing a tree that on my previous visit had been curious about how long it had been dead. If it wasn’t for it precise location, I would not have believed I was looking at the same tree. It was miraculously transformed as if the metaphorical hand of God had reached down from heaven and brought it back to life creating leaves that glistened from collected dew, flirting with the dance of soft pedaled blooms, out of this world!

However, standing in the desert on a hot summer’s day it can be hard to believe all kinds of things like: The temperature will drop towards freezing at night, streams will run through, flowers and life in so many forms will wash across what looks like desolate land. Even so, all these things do happen, and they happen almost every year.

The desert, like you, is filled with limitless potentiality for that abundance, which given the right circumstances, transforms from bare ground to overflowing wealth.

My question to you are: What magnificent abundance waits within you?

What massive level of success is waiting to show up given just the right circumstances?

Over the last five or six posts I have read some amazing, vulnerable and powerful feedback from you guys and gals. I have to tell you that each and everyone of your responses is to me a sweet smelling flower in the desert and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your impact and both me and your fellow reader.

Once again, I look forward to your comments and feedback.

Until next time live with courage, Dov…

Questions like: What explanation have you had for your life being the way it is?
Pause for a second, take a deep breath, and really consider that question.

I’m not only referring to the difficulties in your life, I’m also referring to where your life is fantastic. Let me clarify. I’m talking about all of it; your life as a package.

…Maybe you feel you are where you are due to fate. Maybe as you ask that question you hear a voice in your head that tells you, you are lucky; or unlucky. Do either of those statements truly serve as satisfactory explanations as to why your life is the way it is?

Maybe the way you see it is that you got to where you are in life through something called Karma; that God is some kind of mega-accountant in the sky who does yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily tallies of all your good and bad deeds (or was that Santa?). Then, this magnificent accounting god dishes out the luck, both good and bad, in accordance with what’s in your good/bad account.

Does this sound ludicrous to you? Great, now we’re on the same page.

If those reasons are not how you get what shows up in your life, then maybe this concept (which I’m sure you’ve heard before) is the correct one: “Let us create mankind in our own image.”

Over the last twenty plus years of teaching workshops, seminars and working with people one-on-one it has become very obvious that…

The outer circumstances of your life are a direct result of the inner state of your being.

One of the most important things you will ever learn about success, whatever that means to you, is that what’s going on inside your thoughts and feeling ends up showing up outside, in your reality.

We are not victims of circumstance…

We are both the one who manufacturers and experiences these circumstances.

No one magically finds themselves in a divorce court, a prison cell or having a bullet removed with it being a result of something that was going on within them.

These events are a direct result of all the beliefs, thoughts, emotions feelings and behaviors you have had up to that point. That doesn’t make you wrong or right, what it makes you is either paying attention or being ignorant of what’s been going on inside you. Either way, it’s your choice, it’s your result.

I look forward to your comments and feedback.
Until next time, Live with Courage, Dov…
