I learned this from Jack Canfield, who got it from Arnold Patent (www.arnoldpatent.com)

I LOVE THIS!!!!
Please get a piece of paper and a pen.

1. List 2 of your unique personal qualities. Such as enthusiasm or creativity

1.
2.

2. List one to three ways you enjoy expressing those qualities when interacting with others, such as to support or to inspire.

1.
2.
3.

3. Assume the world is perfect right now. What does the world look like? How is everyone interacting with everyone else? What does it feel like? This is a statement, in present tense, describing the ultimate condition, the perfect world as you see it and feel it. Remember a perfect world is a fun place to be. For example: Everyone is freely expressing their own unique talents. Everyone is working in harmony. Everyone is expressing love.

4. Combine all the parts of the above together to create a single statement.  For example: My purpose is to use my creativity and enthusiasm to support and inspire others to freely express their talents in a harmonious and loving way.

In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” – Eric Hoffer

We are standing smack in the middle of a global shift. If you think life is going to continue as it always has, then you are in for a brutal surprise. This world is changing, and fast.

Where are you?

Are you lost in dreams? Or are you awake?

Are you aware of the responsibility that is asked of you to take your place as the Savior of the world?

YOU ARE NEEDED IN SALVATION.

You are as God created you – which means there is no process, there is no transformation. It’s done. You are whole, healed and perfect as God created you. It means the work is accomplished and that you are ready to fulfill your function as the Light of the world.

Are you ready?

Do you realize that when Jesus said he would heal the blind and deaf and raise the dead that he was talking about you? He was talking about me. Jesus was not talking about physical blindness, deafness and deadness. He was talking about the human condition. He was talking about the walking dead who are blind and deaf: which is everyone you see, all the figures in the dream, sleepwalking their way through life, oblivious to all the wondrous splendor that is right there in front of them to behold.

Transformation, in its fullest sense, is TO SEE and TO HEAR and TO BE ALIVE.

You stop being deaf, blind and dead.

To be awake is to be consistently happy for no reason.

This is the ending point AND the starting point.

While you are still “not quite there yet” you are actually blind, deaf and dead. I hope this pisses you off. This is a confrontation.

If you are not consistently happy, you are blind, deaf and dead. Wake up. Time to get up.

We don’t have time to dilly-dally anymore. The world needs you.

“DELAY IN TIME IS TRAGIC.”

This world needs light. It needs you. It needs leaders. It needs individuals with the willingness to demonstrate joy, passion, peace, purpose and love.

It is impossible to do things the way we have done them before.

Here are some great quotes to consider:

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. ~Charles Darwin~

“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” -Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince (1532)

“Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times.” -Niccolo Machiavelli

“Every generation needs a new revolution.” -Thomas Jefferson

“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.” - Abraham Lincoln

“In describing today’s accelerating changes, the media fire blips of unrelated information at us. Experts bury us under mountains of narrowly specialized monographs. Popular forecasters present lists of unrelated trends, without any model to show us their interconnections or the forces likely to reverse them. As a result, change itself comes to be seen as anarchic, even lunatic.” - Alvin Toffler

“The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech.” - Edwin H. Friedman

So, we are standing in the middle of tremendous change. It’s already occurring. We are witnessing it with our very eyes. Last night I was watching television (for the first time in over a year) and I can’t believe how dumb it all is. I also noticed on the commercials that they use a soothing woman’s voice (I feel like it’s the same woman, is it? does anyone know what I am talking about??) and it’s the exact same voice they use in the futuristic movies (like The Island, with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson) to manipulate the masses on the gigantic movie screens that are in the streets, and in every building.

I am blessing you in every way, you, who is reading this. I love you. You are as God created you. Do me a favor, please and rise above the nonsense, okay? Refuse to participate in the dumbification of the masses. Okay? Please. Do it for me. Do it for Jesus.

Watching that crap on television, I could begin to see why people have difficulty seeing things clearly. I can see why there is confusion and muddy thinking.

Plus every other commercial is about prescription drugs, telling you to call your doctor to get a prescription.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I could think was: holy crap, people sit in front of this box every night?? And listen to this nonsense?

I woke up this morning, feeling drugged and disoriented.

I suppose I sound like your great grandmother giving old-fashioned advice from the stone age, but whatever. Please be aware of what you allow into your mind and be conscious of how you spend your time.

Going on all around you is the creation of God. You can tap into this power and it will disrupt all your old patterns, knock out your problems, heal all sickness, and catapult you into Heaven where miracles occur naturally.

But first, you must have a willingness to change your patterns. If there is something in your life that is not working, then that is an indication that something needs to change. Move the energy in other ways than just sitting on the couch or in front of the computer every night.

Please give me your blessing, holy Son of God.

Please join with me in the resurrection.

Please be part of the solution with me, as we usher in dramatic changes.

We are no longer part of the sleeping dead, Instead we take our place with Jesus by our side and we spring to life, transformed entirely.

“What this world needs is passionate individuals with the Love of Christ in their heart who have the willingness to go out there and teach the message of Jesus to those who need it.”

Amen, Lord Almighty.

Let’s start spreading the word that there is a solution.

Feel free to post anything you find on Gorgeous for God, anywhere you please.

Let’s start demonstrating the simple message of Jesus through all our daily doings.

I appreciate your help.

I bless you. I love you.

Love, Lisa

My friend Marielle and I developed a 40-day program to heal food addiction. Our first group was on May 1, and it was a huge success! Lots of healing, lots of crying, lots of laughing.

Mostly it was just really fun!

Our next group starts next Wednesday, July 1, 2009.

We have decided to give the first 7-days FOR FREE! to anyone who is interested in glimpsing the program before making a financial commitment for the full 40-days.

This particular 40-day program was designed for food addiction HOWEVER it really can be used for any addiction. So if you are battling with alcohol addiction, or relationship addiction, or cigarette smoking, we encourage you to sign on for the free 7-day trial.

There is no diet. It’s 40 topics designed to bring awareness and clarity.

If you feel overwhelmed, tired, sad, lonely or bored with your life, this program is for you. It’s a free 7-day trial, no strings attached and you’ve got nothing to lose.

These 40 topics are designed to bring you squarely into the present moment, dissolve fear so you can begin living your life in joy, passion and purpose.

The main problems most people have is being overwhelmed, no money, no time, and a tendency to think life is going to start sometime later in the future.

But this is it! This is your life. It doesn’t start later, and only you can make a decision to make a change that could alter the course of your life.

The 40-day program is designed to activate you to start living a happy existence now.

Brilliant article from my friend Christine Kane:

Stop complaining. Stop explaining.

You can read the whole article by clicking this link:

http://christinekane.com/blog/6-irresistible-reasons-to-stop-explaining-yourself/ 

I’ll be giving a radio interview today from 3-4pm EST. I’ll be talking with Marielle School from It Matters Totally: a program to heal food addiction in 40 days. The topic today is Abundance: How to stop waiting for your life to begin and to start living like royalty today.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gorgeousforgod 

I love this:

Abraham:
“When you are clear about everything you want, you will get all the results that you want. But often you are not completely clear. You say for example, “I want the color yellow and I want the color blue” but what you end up with is the color green. And then you say “how did I get green? I did not intend that at all.” But it came forth as a blending of other intentions, you see. Blending the color yellow with blue creates the color green.

In a similar manner (at an unconscious level) there is a blending of intentions that is continually occurring within you, but it is so complex that your conscious thinking mechanism cannot sort it out. But your Inner Being can sort it out - and can offer you guiding emotions. All that is required is that you pay attention to the way you feel, and that you let yourself be drawn to those things that feel good or right to you while you let yourself be moved away from those things that do not.

Here Jerry asks a question of Abraham:

Jerry: How is it that some people seem to eventually attract something they’ve really really really wanted, but then when it comes they find that it turns out to be a very negative situation. it brings them pain.

Abraham: Often, from a place that is very far from what is wanted, people will decide what they do want. But instead of focusing upon that desire, and practicing the vibration of it until they have achieved vibrational alignment with their true desire - and allowing the Law of Attraction to then reach out into the universe and bring them their perfect matching result - they become impatient and they try to MAKE it happen by jumping into action. But when they take action before they have improved the content of their vibration what they get is something that matches their current vibration instead of something that matches their desire.
Until you practice your vibration, there is often a big gap between the vibration of what you actually want and the vibration that you are offering. However, without exception, what comes to you matches the vibration that you are offering.

It makes no difference whether you want the specifics of it or not; it is the vibrational essence of the subject of your attention that is attracted. That which you really really want, you get. And that which you really, really do not want, you get.

I am back on the radio starting today, Monday, June 8th from 3pm-4pm EST.

I will be on every Monday through the month of June. The theme is Abundance.

I have been receiving an overwhelming number of letters from people in fear about money so I figure this will be a good topic. There is no need for poverty or suffering.

Today is a great day to start living the life you want to live and to accept your inheritance from God.

It would be great if you could post an announcement on Twitter and Facebook.

Here is the link to listen in live today and every Monday (you can also listen to past shows here):

“Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone.” - Robert Allen

My mind holds only what I think with God.

When I am healed I am not healed alone.
Heaven is the decision I must make.

Great stuff. The problem most sincere Course people have is that they think by giving to others, others will give to them. They think that ACIM requires them to help other people and then they will be healed. They think if they give a lot, they will get a lot.

No, No, No, No, No.

There are no others.

You only give to yourself.

You already have been given everything.

Say this out loud: I HAVE EVERYTHING!

Did you say it out loud? What happened? What thoughts crossed your mind?

It’s good to find out what your personal blocks and obstacles are.

As you allow yourself to be healed, the world is healed along with you.

Sickness is isolation.

Heaven is the decision you must make.

A Course in Miracles is about joining, connecting with truth and remembering God.

Practically everyone focuses on the material/physical aspects of their life. That’s the first problem. Then they believe the images that their body’s eyes show them. That’s the second problem. Then they get stuck in a groove trying to figure out how to transform these images (no money, lack of relationship, sick body). That’s the third problem.

There is only one thing truly that will change your life: CONSISTENCY.

Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom.

That’s your whole solution.

Switch your focus.

Change the dial on the radio station.

Get out of the frequency of time and space.

I’ve been on this journey for a very very VERY long time. I’ve made tremendous mistakes. I’m the slowest learner of them all. But here’s the good news. I’ve learned many things along the way. I know where the stumbling blocks are. I know where you’ll get stuck (and why and how) and I’m telling you how to avoid those pitfalls. I’m giving away all my secrets!! I’m handing them to you on a silver platter.

I’m a tour guide into the known and unknown.

I’m telling you, in very plain language, you must stop focusing on your problems. You must stop thinking about how to make more money. You must stop trying to improve your life, stop trying to alter time and space. This is so simple. LOOK TO HEAVEN! Put your entire focus on God.

Your one response to everything should be appreciation and gratitude.

This is the fast track.

When anger and confusion come up, remember your gratitude, remember your Father in Heaven, and get the hell out of the quick-sand. There is zero need to stay in fear. None. It accomplishes nothing to stay fearful.

Just re-align your mind with God.

MY MIND HOLDS ONLY WHAT I THINK WITH GOD.

Remember, you are TRAINING YOUR MIND in a systematic way. For this you need commitment and consistency.

Trust me when I tell you that you will slide back down into forgetfulness.

That’s okay, just don’t stay there! Get out of the quick-sand. Remember Heaven.

This is a dream.

There are no other people to heal. Your “sickness” is imagined. Your idea of limitation is imagined. You are healed and whole and perfect. It is accomplished.

“Healing is the opposite of all the world’s ideas which dwell on sickness and on separate states.”

1. Sickness is a retreat from others, and a shutting off of joining.
2. Sickness is a door that closes on a separate self, and keeps it isolated and alone.
3. Sickness is isolation.

If you are sick, you are isolating. That’s neither good or bad, but contained right there is your whole solution. Right there is the answer to the end of all sickness and the end to all problems: Stop isolating.

STOP ISOLATING.

Focus entirely on creating with God. Join your brother. Fix your mind on the Kingdom of Heaven.

“Heaven is the decision I must make”

As you allow yourself to heal, the whole world heals along with you.

Forget about other people. Forget about giving to get. Forget about healing the world. There is no world.

This journey is an undoing, removing the BLOCKS to the awareness of love’s presence.

What are the blocks in you?

What physical things do you keep looking to improve/fix in time and space?

What areas are you still fighting and resisting?

There is one more thing I forget to mention:

If you are going through the financial wringer and have no money, this is good!

Rejoice! You’re right on track.

All ideas must be disrupted. A Course in Miracles is about undoing every idea of “security” that you have. If you think that your safety and security lies in money, jobs or time and space, I can practically guarantee your world will be turned upside down at some point. Your safety and security lies in God, and nowhere else. Trust is the first characteristic of a Teacher of God, and there are 6 stages of “development of trust” and 4 of those stages are complete disruption (described in the Trust section in the Teachers Manual) and they really kinda suck!
Sorry to inform you this, but it’s true. It’s right there in the Course for you to read. I’m not making this up. It’s in your course book and I know from personal experience that there will be periods in your life when it looks like you are failing miserably.

You’ll have an easier time if you simply accept this statement as true … and keep going!

You’re doing great. Don’t stop when it looks like things are falling apart. Just let things fall apart and TRUST.

TRUST, TRUST, TRUST , TRUST, TRUST.

You must be undone completely before you get to the stage of achievement.

If you are reading this message, you asked for my help. My responsibility is to you. I would do anything and everything for you. I love you. I want you to find your inheritance and claim it. My hope is that I don’t lose you midway through the year because you lost your job or because your world is turning upside down.

If your life is going all chaotic, there will be a tendency for you to think “this course is not working” or that you are doing something wrong.

When in fact, this is when it’s going right!! All you need is trust.

TRUST IS EVERYTHING.

You have got to trust when you start losing things … because you will lose things, and here are times when it looks like things are being taken away. Okay? I’m just telling you. This will make it easier for you if you know this is part of the journey. Keep going. Don’t stop. Trust. Pray. Ask for clarity. Write to me.

This course in miracles will take you on a bit of bumpy ride at times. It will turn you upside down and inside out. You will think it is failing. You might call God some choice swear words. You might decide to curse the day I came into your life. Some intense emotions will come up that rock you to your core.

And there are some times when it looks like things are being taken away from you. THIS IS THE TIME FOR TRUST.

This is the reason I want to work with you in every way possible that you continue to keep your commitment for the whole year.

Usually the point when most people want to quit is when they are standing right in front of their inheritance. Yet, this is the place where you think you are miles and miles in lost territory.

Please don’t bail on yourself. If you are starting to get lazy or bored in your mind, please make a new commitment to the workbook lessons.

Start asking for help. Begin praying again. Talk to Jesus. Find your center again. Open the Course. Write to me. Whatever it takes.

I know it’s overwhelming, but you are the Savior of the world, and it’s time to go the full distance. This is the Second Coming.

We do this work for the Love of God, for each other, that this world may know peace, joy and happiness.

I love you so much. You’re doing great. Write me any time. I’m right here.

Love, lisa

“Successful people adhere to the “no exceptions rule” when it comes to their daily disciplines. Once you make a 100% commitment to something, there are no exceptions. It’s a done deal. Nonnegotiable. Case closed! Over and out.” ~ Jack Canfield from The Success Principles

With A Course in Miracles there is no middle ground. Either you are living the instructions 100%, no exceptions, no grievances, giving all to all, loving your enemies, remembering God … all the time, no compromise … OR …  you are in hell experiencing all the limitation that goes along with time and space. There is no middle ground.

You will know where you are in your mind just by looking at your life.

This used to piss me off royally, until one day I realized how simple it was to make a commitment to follow the teachings of Jesus with no compromise. From that day on, my life has been one big miracle.

There is no world. This is a dream and does not exist. You don’t have to struggle anymore.

There is a wake-up call going on throughout the universe right now, and if you don’t hear it it will keep getting louder and louder (in the form of sickness, poverty, and problems) until finally it gets your attention. It’s time to wake up.

Can you hear the alarm? It’s blaring. It’s flashing red lights.

There is work to do. God needs your help.

I love you. It’s time to get up.

Lesson 144 from the Gorgeous for God Membership site:

My mind holds only what I think with God.

There is no love but God’s.
The world I see holds nothing that I want.

This is so true. I’m not even here anymore. Every day I wake up and I’m in paradise. My mind holds only what I think with God. Love is all there is. The world I see holds nothing that I want.

A Course in Miracles is 100% true. Jesus gives what he promises.

You have an inheritance. Have you claimed it yet?

The only way to to do this work is to do this work. Trying to understand will get you no where. If I say something that produces a change in you, you probably notice that eventually you start sliding back down into your old thinking and old routine. This is because the only fundamental change that lasts is change that comes from your own conscious active work. I can’t help you in any way. I’m just the messenger. You have to do the work. I can’t do it for you. No one can do it for you. Change that comes from outside is no change at all. You’ve probably already witnessed this in your own life.

Random effects are nothing. They come and they go, and they are nothing.

Lots of times people get excited by something I say and they go “YES!!! Oh my God! That’s it!” … but that’s not it. As you probably have already witnessed. Why is it, you’re asking yourself, can’t I experience any consistency in my life? Why do I get it, only to lose it again?

Because the work is nonstop. You cannot merely alter your behavior. THIS IS CORE WORK. You are building a foundation in stone - not merely putting a new coat of paint on your life. You cannot allow yourself to get lazy. And no one can do the work for you. No one. I don’t care how brilliant a teacher you have - you are responsible for the shifts that occur.

Stone by stone. Brick by brick.

Most people like A Course in Miracles on a merely superficial intellectual level. It sounds good. They are intrigued by it. But almost no one actually wants to do the work. THE WORK.

You’ll know if you are doing the work if you are seeing dramatic miracles in your life. Are dramatic miracles occurring in your life?

If you are just moving along, reading this blog, reading the Course, waiting for something to happen … you missed it. You are absolutely no where.

I hope this pisses you off. I hope to stir you up.

YOU NEED CONSCIOUS EFFORT IF YOU EXPECT TO ESCAPE THIS WORLD.

If you are drifting along, you need to shake yourself up again. There is no other way.

Either you can produce something in your life that it is going to shake off the sleepiness in you and grab your attention, or the universe will send you something as a wake-up call. It’s better to do this from your own conscious effort. Stuff that the universe sends in usually will blind-side you. But sometimes … there is no other way.

LIFE IS FAMOUS FOR THROWING CURVE-BALLS.

So be alert.

If you are just rolling along, not consistently happy but not making conscious effort to keep vigilantly doing the work … be careful. Shit happens.

If this makes you nervous, good! Use that energy. Stay on your toes.

I am outta my head with excitement. I have NEVER read this sentence before!! It’s from Lesson 83 in A Course in Miracles. How did I miss it??

With one purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to say and what to think.

This is the end of all I have been saying (using other ACIM sentences) about “I don’t know who I am, or what I’m doing, or where I’m going.” and the famous sentence that every Course teacher/student (including myself) loves to use at every bend of the road: “I don’t know what anything is for.”

But Lesson 83 is the end of all of that!! LOL!!! THANK YOU GOD!

With one purpose only, I do know what to do, what to say and what to think.

I do know who I am!

I do know myself!

I do know what I am doing!

I do know what things are for.

hahahahahahahaha. I am laughing in joy! This is incredible. Another corner turned.

If Max was in the neighborhood we’d be sitting at Starbucks right now marveling together over this sentence. We’d be bouncing out of our seats, saying: DID YOU READ THIS??? LISTEN TO THIS!

“With one purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to say and what to think.”

Here is the end of doubt and uncertainty. My joy is complete. My peace is complete. All that I have ever wanted is right here & right now.

“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.” - George Bernard Shaw

I love this! I can choose to be a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances! LOL. That’s awesome. I choose to be as God created me: a force of nature, a force of love.

I love you. Talk to me. Tell me how it’s going with you. I would love to hear from you. What new miracles are occurring in your life? What are you doing for fun?  The holy Child of God in you loves to play.

Sending lots of love on this day to you.

I rec’d a letter from someone today that we should pray away swine flu. Here is my response.

Dear ________________,

Rather than pray away swine flu, it is better to look directly at your fear. Why would you be afraid of swine flu? Why be afraid of dying? To get rid of swine flu is not to look at the causes of fear, which is a tremendous gift and opportunity.

I love Carlos Castaneda’s description that Death is standing directly behind you at all times, to your left within arm’s reach, behind you - ready to tap you on the shoulder and take you at any time. Today could be your very last day! A warrior becomes best friends with his own death and then he’s not afraid anymore.

Most people have zero idea why they want to live till 65, 80 or 100, and yet they keep protecting their body to live a long healthy life. What for? What is it that is so important that you must be here in the world? This is a good question to ask. You have a purpose, but you don’t need to protect yourself. Find out what you want to accomplish in this world. And then follow in that direction. Stop waiting for your life to begin. It could end any moment. Why are you here? Is there something you are meant to do … that you have not been doing? Have you been waiting for your life to begin? If you were infected with swine flu, what regrets would you have? What things do you wish you had accomplished in life that you never did? Are there things left unsaid? Apologies that need to be made?

Then begin it today. Set out to do all you want to do, and be gloriously alive!

I have died almost twice in my life. Death tapped me right on the shoulder and scared the LIFE into me!! One time what felt like a brain tumor which lasted for a week, another time a heart attack. With the brain tumor, it made me look at what I wanted to do that I had been waiting for. What would I regret if I died? Back then, I wanted to write and publish a book and also I was waiting for my relationships to improve. If I died, I would die with great regret that I never published a book and that I never told several people that i was sorry for things I did, and that I loved them.

So with death staring me straight in the face, I got busy!! There was a mess to clean up and work to be done!

I wrote and published a book. I called all my family and friends. Wrote letters and apologized and said I loved you.

And the amazing thing? I didn’t die.

But I am no longer afraid of death. Now, I am terrifically gratefully alive!

it’s almost like swine flu HAD to happen, because no one is paying attention to all the other atrocities of this world. People read that there is a brutal war or children starving and they say “oh, that’s horrible!” and two seconds later they are talking about their favorite television show and asking “What’s for dinner?” and then wondering who is going to win Dancing with the Stars.

Swine flu hits home. It’s not out there anymore. You can’t push fear under the carpet anymore. This might affect you and your family. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor. It doesn’t matter where you live. This has the potential to affect everyone, which makes it a great terrific gift!!! Now you can look directly at your fear and remember the truth.

Getting to purpose and letting the Holy Spirit have all of you will keep you perfectly protected. Nothing can happen to you when you let go of all your goals, and let yourself be a perfect channel of communication for the light and love of Heaven. If there is work to do, and you are doing it, nothing can touch you.

And when the work is finished, you’ll go home. End of story. It could be today. It could be 100 years from now.

Your body is a means of communication for the light and you don’t have to protect yourself. You will do the work God has sent you here to do, as you have so beautifully been doing. Your life is a perfect demonstration of the Love of God. Don’t worry about anything. Just keep extending your light and love as I have always known you to do.

Thank you for writing. There is nothing to fear. There is nothing to heal. You’re whole and perfect as God created you.

I love you.

“Fear is funny.  It seems to know when it can’t get in the front door. So it tip-toes around to the back, finds a window that was left open a crack, hoists it open and makes its way inside.” - Christine Kane

The 40-day adventure to heal food addiction using A Course in Miracles begins on May 1st.

It’s not a diet. You can use it to heal any addiction. The program is designed to strengthen your core and make you aware of the power that is within you, given to you by God. The problem most people have is they try to change external situations (dieting, controlling, planning, organizing) and then wonder why they fail.

You fail because the only work that produces results is to strengthen your core and increase your personal power by getting rid of blocks and obstacles. Then miracles occur naturally.

PURIFICATION IS NECESSARY.

If you have tried to change yourself by changing your behavior, you already know that doesn’t work. The only way to change is through inner work and purification.

The only way to get rid of obstacles is to get above them, to rise up your thinking.

So we’re gonna start from the top - the finish line - and stay there for 40 days.

You will emerge healed, whole and perfect because that’s where we are going to start and that’s where we are going to stay.

For 40 days we will encourage and inspire you to stay in a space where miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.

Most people falsely believe you can change yourself slowly. CHANGE IS IMPOSSIBLE. There is no journey. There is no process. PROCESS IS THE PROBLEM. The solution is to allow yourself to be catapulted ON DAY ONE to the place where you are completely transformed … which is now.

You are already all that you wish to become … it’s just operating in a different frequency of light so you think it takes time. But what you want and need and desire is right here, right now … and you will see it when you have the willingness to see yourself differently.

The difficulty is most people cannot stay in a high frequency where love is all there is, where every sickness is healed, where addictions do not exist and where problems are non-existent. Most people slide back down to old habits and limited thinking.

The 40-day trip into the wilderness is designed to help you stay in the light.
