The Art of Jumping Time Lines by Tom Kenyon

Great article by Tom Kenyon
The Art of Jumping Time Lines

Although it may seem paradoxical to some, your timeline—your life—is only one of many simultaneous possibilities. And it is quite possible, indeed it is your birthright, to alter your timeline and the potentials of your life.

Your culture, for various reasons, has hypnotized you into believing that you are limited to one timeline. In this message we shall endeavor to discuss our understanding of timelines and how you can change them.

Whenever there is an increase of chaotic events, there is a convergence of multiple timelines. Due to the fact that your planet has entered a Chaotic Node and is experiencing ever-increasing levels of chaos, there is also an increase in what we call time nodes.

Time nodes occur when two or more timelines converge. As a result of their close proximity oscillation effects sometimes occur when the realities of one timeline bleed through, or are psychically perceived by those on a neighboring timeline. Strong timelines can also literally affect the possibilities and/or probabilities of other timelines within a time node. In other words, creative and novel effects often occur within timelines when they enter a time node (proximity to other timelines).

A simple way to be happy, no matter what.

This isn’t rocket science.

Salvation is simple.

For anyone who uses Facebook or Twitter, it must be apparent to you by now that you CHOOSE what image of yourself you want put out there. Out of all the 100 random ideas you could express, YOU decide which ones you want to put out there to show the world WHO YOU ARE.

Even if you are not using facebook or Twitter, at some point it becomes apparent to you that while you are having a conversation with someone, 10 ideas might flash in your mind, and you choose which one you want to express.

And once you’ve taken it to this level, then take it to another level, that when you are by yourself, you still have the power to focus on whatever the heck you want to focus on.

It’s a beautiful thing.

You can focus on your problems and all the limitation and frustration you OR you can turn in a new direction and start focusing on God, joy, creativity.

A Course in Miracles says you’re always demonstrating which thought system you have chosen to side with – God or the ego, love or fear. YOU CHOOSE.

Isn’t that amazing?

YOU CHOOSE.

You can choose to attack or you can choose to love.

You can choose to keep looking at the past and all your stories about all the things people and circumstances have harmed you
OR …. you can turn your focus to things you like to do, things you love, things to feel grateful for, things to appreciation.

YOU CHOOSE.

That’s the real miracle – the power to choose once again.

In every situation, you can choose to see things differently because THERE IS ALWAYS another way of looking, ALWAYS.

You can look for the goodness in a situation/person (see with the eyes of Christ) and you can keep having a grievance. The choice is yours.

WHAT ARE YOU FOCUSING ON?

When I first started blogging back in November 2004, my first few months of writing sounded like an angst-ridden teenager’s private diary. I whined a lot. I complained a lot. I wrote all about all my problems in great detail, and about all the horrible things that other people were doing to me. BOO HOO ME. I wrote about how I wished life was different and how I wished I was different.

I didn’t think anyone was reading my blog. I hadn’t told anyone about my new website, and it was more like a place for me to rant, complain and feel sorry for myself.

But then about a month or two later, I started receiving letters from people who were reading my blog. Shock me to the floor. Then I figured out how to view the Statistics page, which alerted me that approximately 100 people a day were visiting my site.

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

A dramatic change happened in that moment. Suddenly I had readers. Suddenly I had a responsibility. I took an honest look at what I was teaching and writing. I wasn’t teaching A Course in Miracles, that’s for sure. I was teaching was confusion, pain, suffering, loneliness, and poverty.

I also noticed that during the day I had moments of joy and peace, but I never really felt compelled to write too much about that. Back then, I was addicted to my story of pain.

The shift occurred for me in a big big way when I realized that I was having MANY thoughts and experiencing a WHOLE RANGE OF EMOTIONS and that if I wanted to, I could choose happiness.

I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO BE AS GOD CREATED ME – WHOLE AND PERFECT – AND EXPRESS TRUE IDEAS.

I REALIZED THAT I COULD CHOOSE TO FOCUS IN A NEW DIRECTION (away from my problems) … IF … I … FELT …. LIKE … IT.

That was a turning point.

If I felt like it, I could be happy.

If I felt like it, I could think about God instead of my problems.

If I felt like it, I could be creative instead of whining.

If I felt like, I could do something differently.

If I felt like it, I could rise above the battleground, let the past go, and live in joy and focus only on truth.

IF I FELT LIKE IT

LASER-BEAM-FOCUS.

FOCUSING ON GOD.
FOCUSING ON LOVE.
FOCUSING ON FORGIVENESS.

And that’s why you can be happy, no matter what.
Because the power of decision is your own.

What a gift.

You don’t have to be miserable
You don’t have to be sick.
You don’t have to be depressed.
You don’t have to be tired.
You don’t have to be angry.

Because going on at the same time is a thought of joy, and if you focus on that, you’ll be happy.

Simple.

If this doesn’t sound so simple to you, there’s still ONE MORE DAY TO SIGN UP for the 6-week coaching program to work with me privately and you’ll get all the help you need.

Stop Waiting, Be Happy – 6-week coaching Program

I just received my first letter a few hours from a new participant and it’s very exciting because the new group doesn’t officially start until this Monday, 4 days from now – and all she did so far was say YES!, fill out the questionnaire and I sent her back two email messages, and she’s already feeling a shift occur.

“Hi Lisa! What a big, awesome, crazy day! I’m feeling shifts already, since the moment I decided I was truly ready for change. I’m still a little scared, but I’m willing! I’m sooooo excited that you are here to guide me! I’m seriously overwhelmed with gratitude!”

I just love it. THANK YOU! Day 1 hasn’t even started and already a change is occurring. That’s the miracle – transformation doesn’t take any time. Thank you Jesus.

THE secret to success. This is IT. for reals.

by Danielle LaPorte
White Hot Truth: Because self-realization rocks

In one form or another, I’ve been asked this question a few hundred times:

What’s the secret to success?

Variations:
What’s the single most important thing you’ve learned on your journey?
What’s your key piece of advice for meaningful livelihood?
What’s the greatest cause of failure? How do we overcome fear?
What’s your pearl of wisdom for getting unstuck?

Here it is. You heard it here first, lovahs.

The secret to success:

No need to read any further really.

If we all just did what we said we’re going to do, we’d experience an evolutionary leap in consciousness more brilliant than solar power and the invention of the wheel. But in case we slip, here’s a bit of bolstering…

Do what you say you’re going to do.

NO: rounding up what you say, no blowing it off, assuming that they’ll forget what you said, hoping that they didn’t really hear you, or believing that it’s kosher to let it slide. Letting it slide is a slippery slope that leads to sleepless nights and eroded integrity which all adds up to a whole lot of yuck.

Aim for impeccable. There’s a great scene in Jerry McGuire, where one of the Zig Ziglar-like “mentor guys” in a polyester suit says in his heavy southern accent, “If I don’t return yer call in 24 hours, well, you can rest assured that I am dead.” I want that guy on my team.

Mean it. You can ask my home girl, Steph, to go mountain climbing, hook you up with the Mayor, and meet you back for a cold beer all in the same day, and what you’ll hear is, “DONE!” She says “DONE!” a lot. At first I didn’t know if it was like, a tic, or a truth. But guess what, she gets a lot done — everything that she says she will.

“Call you tomorrow” … “I’ll send you the link” … “I’ll do my best.” If you don’t mean it with heart and precision, then just don’t say it. Pause. Say thank you. Express an intention. Say nothing. Habitual convo-filler is bad for the environment. I can’t scientifically prove it, but empty promises suck wind.

Of course you can’t always do what you said you would. Minds change and some prerogatives need their exercise. Batteries die, tragedies happen, the best intentions can get rained out. When you can’t or choose not to honour your word, then say so.

Tell the truth, tell it fast, deliver it with sincerity and care.

Words are arrows.
Aim.
You can’t always hit the impeccability bull’s eye, but even if you’re off a smidge, your words will land on integrity.

Only 2 more days to sign up.

If you have been wanting your life to change (praying for a miracle) this 6-week coaching program is a really good opportunity. I’ll be the first to say it. IT WORKS.

If you show up and do the work, you WILL change. You will fall in love with God and you will fall in love with your life.

How does that sound to you??

Stop Waiting, Be Happy

It’s 6 weeks of one-on-one coaching – me and you – it’s private, it’s anonymous, it’s intense, it will challenge you – and yes – it will change you.

Based on the letters I have rec’d everyone favorite part is the 42 audios I recorded. They are approximately 30 minutes each. There is also a daily blog article – 42 topics sent to you each day – plus tons of email interaction and three 30-minute private phone calls with me.

The result is JOY – no more waiting for a miracle. No more waiting for life to begin. Can you just imagine????

Plus when you are finished the 6-weeks, you will have access to an online private Community Area where I will be posting new audios, live group conference calls and yes, at last, videos.

This next group starts Monday, June 9th but you must sign up in the next 48 hours because the weekend is PREPARATION PHASE – a chance for me to get to know you.

New Recording: The Max and Lisa Show: It’s all good in the hood

Here is the recording from last night’s show. I really love this one. It’s got some great practical one liners you can use and apply in your life whenever you are faced with a difficulty.

I hope you enjoy it. Click this link to listen:

August 2, 2010 Recording: The Max & Lisa Show/A Course in Miracles Radio Completion and Wholeness.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/maxandlisa/2010/08/04/the-max-and-lisa-showa-course-in-miracles-radio

Max and I talked about completion and wholeness and, as usual, how simple A Course in Miracles really is. There is no process, no journey, and enlightenment is nothing more than a change of mind. It doesn’t take time. Whatever you really want is given to you in the moment that you ask for it , if that’s all you really want.

It’s all good.
It’s good in the hood.
God is good.
Life is good.

If everything is God and God is with you always, where’s your problem now?

If the past is over (and it is) and the slate is clean (and it is) and it’s a new beginning (and it is) you are standing in this NOW moment (and you are) where is your problem?

The only way you can possibly have a problem is if you pick it up again, drag it in from the past and think it’s real now.
That’s the height of insanity. It’s completely insane to pick up what you don’t want.
If you don’t want pain and suffering, don’t pick it up. Simple, simple, simple.

If you let the past go (your story and history of problems) and KEY IDEA: you don’t pick it up again (ideas of depression, limitation, poverty, sadness, loneliness, confusion, fear), you’ll be  in God and you’ll be happy.

Simple.The Max and Lisa Show

Have you been praying for your life to change?

The next 6-week coaching group begins this Thursday, August 5th.

I’m excited.

.http://www.toro-asia.com/momotpe/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sign-up-now.jpg

I’ve worked with 2 groups so far and the results have been astonishing.

Here are just a few of the letters I have rec’d in the past couple of days:

Lisa, WOW! today’s Audio was fantastic! The best thing about this program is that what you say is actually TRUE for me. I have indeed accomplished what we set out to do 6 weeks ago. I am happy and I have the self-talk and dawning knowledge to get back when I slip. I will go back to this message when I need a reminder. Thank YOU for showing up and offering this program. I has made a wonderful difference to me.” – Love Nancy

“Lisa, thank you for being my helper when I got lost the other day. I’ve rebounded fantastically, all starting with a moment when I spoke to God’s holy teacher while I dangled my feet into the lake and sighed in the early morning…perfect healing!

I was particularly taken with the audio about being as little children. I never put together just what that could mean, but I got it in such a lovely way after listening to you (and the Holy Spirit, of course). I really, TRULY started to think about what it is my children do, how they respond to me, and how I should be in the world. My kids ask me what to do, come to me if they’re afraid, trust me implicitly, and when they’re not engaged with me they play and play and do whatever it is that makes them the happiest. And when they feel love or fear or joy or confusion or ANYTHING they press right into me and snuggle up, because there is no better place than in the lap of your parent. And that’s all I should be doing! How did I never see it before? That’s it! Funny that the instructions are RIGHT THERE IN PLAIN ENGLISH, but we complicate things, compromise, make exceptions, or put them through our own weird filters, thus completely invalidating them. You put it into words I never had considered! You make it so simple! Anyway, you gorgeous creature, I just wanted to touch base and let you know that I’m well, that my dip into hell was temporary, and that I am truly, beautifully alive. I love this program. Thank you for being here every single day for me.”

Good Day. Pray all is well. Lisa, you have unlimited potential has a teacher of God. Your program is a revelation. Our willingness just to follow and do is really all is needed. Your topics and ideas are mind opening. I feel the surge of God’s presence in your audios and your writings have Jesus’s love flowing thruogh the script. Alpha Omega there is no beginning and no end so even when this program is over we will still be one with God happy as little children on Xmas morning. Oh! the memories of being a little kid and playing by ourselves so happy with no cares that were we are willing to go now thanks to my love Lisa. Love, Tom”

“Hi Lisa, I was just about to send you a message when I saw your most recent email. So I spent some time writing. I want to be able to recognize and maintain my connection with God and joy absolutely, no matter the external illusions. This morning I was getting frustrated I couldn’t generate the feeling, but then I remembered these lessons. The writing really did help. Thank you. Sometimes I still go off course, but I see now how easy it is to correct myself and see things differently. I go off course less and less now and delay before correction gets shorter and shorter. I am committed to correcting myself as many times as necessary so I can be constant beam of love and joy. Best, Kate”

“Today’s audios is the best!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, these audios are so good!!! This program has changed me more than anything I’ve ever done in my entire life. Lisa, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” – Monique

Dear Lisa, Great stuff. Really great stuff today and yesterday. This program is a miracle. YOU are a miracle. Yesterday I felt a lot of peace, and listening to your thoughts on possible pulling back I thought naaaa that’s not happening to me. Then as I plopped down on my pillow looking forward to a peaceful night.. the fear came on very strong. I didn’t think I’d ever get to sleep. But I thought about your lesson, and remembered your asking that we not give up when the fear seems to increase.. to remember this is normal… I just imagined myself opening up to feelings and allowing them all…allowing space for God… and slowly fell asleep…Thank you so much for leading me to this place. And now I listen to the gentle rain and rest in the Peace that I AM. Love, Paula”

Hi Lisa, It’s a dazzling morning. The rich blue sky is flecked with puffy white clouds and the air is cool and yummy. I slept well last night (which I haven’t done for awhile) although I did wake up a few times with fear– so it aint over yet. And then I woke up (happy to have slept) and felt pain in several parts of my body. (which I hadn’t felt yesterday). My choice is not to dwell upon this… but since I started yesterday telling you what I was most resisting, I felt to be done with that today… just like we chose to be done with our grievances, I choose to be done with my fears. (They might not be done with me but I am done with them). So this is my last core fear sharing with you…. And that fear is that I will do something irreparably wrong and it will ruin my life completely and perhaps the life of others. For today I have chosen this on a physical level: and that is something is wrong with my body and if I don’t go to the doctor and get it fixed it will get worse and worse until it overwhelms me completely.

There… we have it…. Fears, like grievances, can morph into a million forms… each designed to steal our present peace. I choose now to rest and trust in God and allow all feelings, thoughts, sensations to run their course. Let the wild rumpus begin. I choose to rest in God. I choose dance with God. I choose the joy of God instead of pain. I will be still an instant and go home.

So that’s just a few of the letters I have received. MAKE MY DAY!!!! Just beautiful. I am amazed, amazed, amazed. THANK YOU!!!!!!!! The best part for me is talking on the phone with each of you and witnessing first-hand the miracle of going from Week 1 in fear to Week 6 in laughter and joy. What a gift. Thank you.

You think I’m helping you, but truly, you’re helping me. This coaching program has been so much fun for me, and it is an absolute privilege to get to know each of you.

One of my coaching clients upped the ante on me the other when she said her new dedication was to remember God and live each day in joy. !!!!!!!! HA. I love it. Everyone’s bypassing me in the fast lane. THANK YOU LORD. What a perfect plan. :-)

This 6-week program is one-on-one private coaching with me. It’s a 42 day program and YES, it’s intense, YES, it’s personal, YES, it’s going to challenge you … and YES, it will change you.

YES!!!!!!!!!!

If you have questions, please write to me at lisa_natoli@yahoo.com

WHAT IF A COURSE IN MIRACLES IS TRUE???

What if??

Have you ever considered this question?
What if it’s really true there is ONLY love. Is this your experience?
Have you really looked at what Jesus is offering?

Or are you still waiting for a miracle?

WHAT IF it’s true that as you extend joy to others your body is healed entirely – not just as a concept – but as a real experience as A Course in Miracles says – that it becomes strong and healthy serviceable instrument? WHAT IF?

WHAT IF it’s true that everything you need to fulfill the Plan of God is given to you?

Can you imagine what it’s like to have everything be easy and effortless, the way Jesus says it should be? Can you imagine life with your Guide doing everything for you – going before you and clearing the path for you so that you don’t trip or stumble?

Can you imagine a life with NO problems?

Jesus says your true condition is one of supreme happiness. It must be true then.

Are you supremely happy?

“This course will be believed entirely or not at all.” – A Course in Miracles

Either you are following the instructions of Jesus – to the letter, exactly as he spells it out in A Course in Miracles – and you are seeing that healing is accomplished and that there is only love
OR you’re compromising (still attacking just a little bit, still allowing yourself to feel sad, still believing that outside circumstances can affect you) and you’re getting the results of that.

Do you wake up happy?
Do you stay happy?
Do you feel the constant joy of knowing Who you are?

One of the things that makes me laugh the most is when people say “that’s not what A Course in Miracles says!!” and I just laugh and laugh because that’s EXACTLY what it says.

You should be happy all the time because happiness is what you are – it’s how God created you. He created you perfect.
Everything else is illusion.
God loves you totally. You’re loved and lovable and all you have to do is ask and receive.

The range is all or nothing. There is no in-between. Either you have everything or you have nothing.

Either you’re totally joyous with a healed mind and body knowing who you are – OR – you’re still trapped in the illusion with momentary fleeting glimpses of light. That’s the range. You’re either in Heaven or hell.

WHAT IF it’s really true that depression can be transformed to joy??
WHAT IF there really is world where there is ONLY love?

:-)

I love it.

What if all your relationships suddenly become harmonious and happy?

WHAT IF?

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED?

A Course in Miracles is very specific and very uncompromising. It says if you are experiencing anything other than perfect joy, then you are making exceptions. Period.No one is doing anything to you. The body cannot be sick.

I love Jesus. He tells us EXACTLY what sickness is, what depression is, why it happens, and how it is healed. He spells it out – 1, 2, 3. Do this, this, and this and you’ll be happy. He doesn’t hold anything back.

And the way you’ll know if you are following the teachings of Jesus is by looking at your life.

Are you wholly joyous?
You should be.
It’s what you are.

There is NO NEED for depression, sickness or sorrow.

“Depression means you have forsworn God.” – A Course in Miracles

The opposite of joy is depression. When your learning promotes depression instead of joy, you cannot be listening to God’s joyous teacher, and you must be learning amiss. To see a body as anything EXCEPT a means of pure extension is to limit your mind and hurt yourself. Health is therefore nothing more than united purpose. If the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, it becomes whole because mind’s purpose is one.

Now, what if this is true????

WHAT IF … you saw your body and all your relationships and every aspect of your life completely transformed simply because you decided to dedicate your life and body to HIS PURPOSES – to extend light and love and joy to all the lonely ones who walk the world.

AND SAW YOUR BODY AND LIFE HEALED AS A RESULT.

WOULD YOU DO IT?

Giving your life to God has very amazing benefits – and it’s one of those lessons you can’t know is true until you apply it in your own life and see it in action. You can’t know what I’m talking about while you sit on your couch contemplating this as an idea.
There is an action element: Listen, Learn and DO.

“The real members of my party are ACTIVE members” – Jesus

It’s exciting when you see this first-hand in your life.
It’s exciting when it happens (finally!) to you.

If you need help, I offer a 6-week coaching program.
The next group starts this Thursday, August 5th.
It’s super intense but it works.
It requires dedication and commitment and a willingness to let go of conflict.
If you have that, the rest is easy.
The program is designed to move you beyond grievances and lifelong problems in the first two weeks.
We plow right through blocks and obstacles.
The remaining 4 weeks is all about joy and creation and knowing God.

If that sounds like something you’re interested in, click here:

The next group starts on August 5, this Thursday, so there’s only 3 more days to sign up. If you have questions, email me at lisa_natoli@yahoo.com

Once you know where you’re going, getting there is easy.

Once you know where you’re going, getting there is easy.

It’s the figuring-out-where-you-want-to-go part that is difficult!!!

But once a decision has been made and you know where you’re going (once the goal is set), getting there is easy.

This is a message that I sent to my coaching group on June 8, 2010 on the 37th day of the 6-week program. I was on the road, moving my life from Wisconsin to New Hampshire. I had great revelation while I was driving.

Here it is:

June 8, 2010

I’m in Syracuse, New York now – 6 hours away from my destination.

Yee-haw. It’s been a great trip.

Yesterday while I was driving, I listened to an Abraham-Hicks CD and there was a great analogy that if you are driving from Texas to San Diego (or in my case Wisconsin to New Hampshire) you don’t turn around when you are halfway there just because you’re not there yet.
You keep going.
You don’t do a U-turn in the middle of the route, giving up in frustration.
Instead, you feel EXCITEMENT knowing that you’re getting closer, knowing that you’re heading in the right direction of where you want to go.

Yet, the mass majority of people turn around halfway to their destination, in frustration, complaining that they’re not there yet, and that’s why they never get there.

THEY TURNED AROUND!

But if you keep going – just do what’s IN FRONT of you – you will get to where you want to go. That’s the key. Just do what’s in front of you, and don’t look back (Jesus says, “Follow me. Don’t look back Lest you be turned into a pillar of salt”).
FORWARD AHEAD. STRAIGHT TO GOD.

Just don’t make a U-turn. Keep going. Don’t turn back.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2008/09/30/nouturn_1.jpg

And I just love that – because I could get to New Hampshire faster if I wanted to (driving through the night) or I can take my time and get there when I want. I could take a month or a year getting there if I wanted.

The speed of “how fast” it takes me is up to me.

But I would never get to New Hampshire if I landed in Ohio and got frustrated that I wasn’t there yet, and turned my car back around to Wisconsin, while thinking “it’s never going to work, I’m never going to get there, I might as well just give up, this is just a waste of time.”

But see, I KNOW I’M GOING TO GET THERE as long as I keep heading in the right direction. As long as I keep consulting the map that I’m on the right road, and that the destination is in sight.

DON’T LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR DESTINATION.

Remember, the goal is God. The goal is happiness. The goal is to know thyself. If you’re not there yet, keep going. That’s how simple this gets. Don’t do a U-turn. Don’t despair. Just keep going.

I don’t stall in Ohio in frustration and despair. I don’t throw a temper-tantrum. I don’t sink into depression.

I know that WHERE I AM NOW is PERFECTION.

Keep going with your eye on the destination and you’ll get there. And in the meantime: ENJOY THE RIDE! :-) ENJOY THE SCENERY. Getting there is half the fun!

Simple, right?

A Course in Miracles is your map. Your goal is God. Your goal is happiness. You’ll get there if you keep going. The speed in which you arrive is entirely up to you.

Esther Hicks also tells a great white-river story. She and Jerry decided to try white-river rafting and there was a group of 6, and also another group, and not one single person in the group had an idea to turn the boat upstream against the current. NOT ONE! They all put their boats in facing downstream to work with the power of the river. And that’s God. You want to work with the power and current of God, and NOT struggle against it. You want to allow yourself to flow.

In fact, the CD is called “The Art of Allowing.”

You want to start allowing yourself to flow.

No more resistance.

No more struggling against life.

She also said that everyone says they want the “outcome” (the manifestation, the money, the house, the finished product, “the stuff” (WHERE’S MY STUFF???? :-) ) but that’s not what anyone really wants. What everyone wants in THE EXPERIENCE – the thrill of living – the excitement of going in the direction you want to go and feeling alive by it.

She said it would be like arriving at the river, and then saying to the river guide, okay, let’s just put the boat on top of the car and drive down to the finish line. And the guide says “but I thought you wanted to ride this river??”

LOL.

I thought you wanted to ride this river?

You want the experience of life. You want to enjoy the ride because it’s ALL good, not just the finish line.

And then she says my all-time favorite sentence by the river guide as they are all facing this very-fast moving river: “FRIENDS, THIS IS NOT DISNEYLAND AND WE CANNOT TURN THIS RIVER OFF.”

HAHA. The river guide is giving them an idea of the POWER of the river – it’s not Disneyland and you can’t turn it off – and Jesus is giving you an idea of the POWER of God.

Today’s instruction is about KNOWING YOUR GOAL and heading in that direction, using the map to get there, and not doubting just because you’re not there yet.

If you’re not yet where you want to go, you’re almost there. Keep going. Whatever you do, don’t turn back.

KEEP GOING.

If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll never get there, and that’s the difficulty with most people. They say they want to go somewhere (for things to change) but they don’t know where they want to go.

Today I want you to look over your intentions that you wrote last week.
Look over the goals you set.
See where you are on the map.
Know where you’re going.

Just like with a road trip, sometimes there are obstacles and delays and road blocks. But it’s all part of the journey, and that’s what makes it so great.

The unknown is scary and there can be a great temptation to turn around to your life of safety, routine and habit as you start moving further away from it. You’re not sure what awaits you. I’M NOT SURE WHAT AWAITS ME. But I still keep heading forward because I’ve set the goal and I know where I’m going.

Do you know where you’re going? Do you know what you want?

Once you know where you’re going, getting there is easy.

You won’t go down other roads because that doesn’t make any sense. I know I’m heading east and it wouldn’t make any sense to head south or west. And that’s how it with A Course in Miracles. When happiness is your goal, you wouldn’t dream of heading down a road of conflict because that takes you off in a whole other direction.

Where are you headed? What’s your destination?

Do you know what you want? Do you know where you’re going?

Update from me.

Hi there,

Just a little newsy update from me.

I’m living in New Hampshire with weekends in Maine with my mom.

Fun in the sun. I am loving New England. I am loving being so close to the ocean.
I’m meeting readers for the first time in my life, feeling like a little kid again meeting my playmates. IT’S THRILLING, is what it is. It’s made me realize how much I love being around people, how important it is to me to be with my companions from Heaven.

I just got back from a 5-day trip to Boston which was amazing. WOW. What a gift!

The time has come where individuals are realizing they want ONLY the experience of God, to participate in extending the Light to all their brothers (to all the “lonely and weary ones”) to be in service, to be useful, and to share in that Love, to be in the celebration of joining.

Out of nowhere on the Boston trip came an idea to organize a Gorgeous for God workshop in the fall. :-)

Woohooo.

At first I really cringed at the idea because over the years I have moved away from the idea of “Gorgeous for God.” I don’t use the name at all anymore (except in the banner on my website) and in the way that I carry myself throughout the day.

But in my mind, Gorgeous for God was over a long time ago.

But then I got to Boston and WOW. I met with the most amazing beauties I’ve ever seen, who have enough excitement and enthusiasm to move mountains. Seriously. Bombshell Central. GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! These Light Workers are the living embodiment of everything I wrote about in my book. It was a sight to see such dedication, love for Jesus, and GORGEOUSNESS all in one place. It was non-stop gorgeousness for a week.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

One night a bunch of us were lounging around at midnight, as girls like to do, laughing and having fun, and suddenly came one lovely female voice, the sound of an angel: LISA, GORGEOUS FOR GOD IS YOUR SIGNATURE.

It took me completely by surprise, but also excited me because I could instantly see how much fun it would be – GORGEOUS for GOD.

Not just for gorgeousness sake, but gorgeous FOR GOD. Coming into the fullness of WHO YOU ARE as light and allowing the body to be used SOLELY for communication for the Holy Spirit’s Purpose. That’s gorgeousness.

What a privilege to be with my mighty companions at midnight. I want more nights just like that one. I want weekends like that. I want whole weeks like that – pure joining, laughter, community, remembering and listening, and love. AND FOOD! Of course.

Oh, my Lord!! The food!!! It was YUM. :-)

What better way to share than by breaking bread with your brothers?
Thank you Father for the communion we find in You.

So, we’re organizing a workshop in Boston – probably October 2010. If you are interested, please write to me, let me know, so I can get a general ballpark idea of what kind of space we need. We have a space already (WOOHOO!!) but we might need something bigger. And right now it’s a one-day event, but let me hear from you because we could do a weekend event.

Secondly, I’ve been doing private one-on-one coaching and loving every second of it. It’s a 6-week coaching program called Stop Waiting, Be Happy.
I’ll be the first to say it. It’s awesome. I love it. Why??? Because I’m amazed to see the PROMISES of Jesus (there is only love, miracles should be happening every day) spring to life in so many people. I am in AWE by what I’m witnessing.

All that is needed is a desire and willingness to be done with conflict, and the Holy Spirit does the rest.

It’s accomplished.

I used to ask people (myself included) “Do you want to be happy?” and of course, everyone says YES to that question (including me) and so I was always baffled why if I’m saying Yes, I want to be happy” then why still the sadness and depression??? Why the roller-coaster ride? Why the inconsistency? The up and down emotions???

And what I found is that the real question to find out if someone truly wants to be happy is to ask THIS question – “Are you done with conflict?”

ARE YOU DONE WITH CONFLICT?

Because when you say “yes!” to THAT question, then the way is open and all you’ve ever wanted is right there for you.

I’m witnessing transformations that quite literally leave me speechless. I was going to start another 6-week group on August 5th but have decided to change the format so that it’s more flexible.

You will be able to sign up when it’s convenient for you (and not just August 5th) and there will be a payment option to pay in 4 installments.

And when the spots are filled, I’ll put that Sold Out button back up.

This is private one-on-one coaching. It’s not an automated program. It’s a chance to work privately with me for 6 weeks to end conflict and find consistent happiness. I view it as the “END OF WAITING”. This program is an active way to stop waiting and start living. There are 42 blogs entries, 42 audios, three 30-minute private phone calls with me, and as much email support as you need.

If that’s something that interests you, you’ll be able to sign up next week.

Stop Waiting, Be Happy

The first step is to fill out the questionnaire to see if the program is for you.
If you are NOT done with conflict, then this program is NOT for you.

This is only for people who are done with conflict and who are ready for a change – because this program has been designed to be completely finished with grievances within the first 2 weeks, and there is only ONE way that can be accomplished – if you’re done with pain, suffering and conflict. If you can say YES! to that, you will love this program.

So, that’s all for now.

Once the program is ready for sign-ups, I’ll let you know.

I’m always here for you. Even if you’re not interested in the coaching or workshop, I’m here for you. There is no need to struggle with any problem at all. If you have a question or unresolved issue, or anything at all, please write to me.

I love you.

A Course in Miracles is true. Jesus means EXACTLY what he says. There’s no need to struggle. There’s no need for pain. There’s no need for problems. God’s Will for you is PERFECT happiness.

That’s your inheritance. All you gotta do is sign for it, and it’s yours.
