A while ago, I mentioned I was going to share with you some of the techniques and technologies I use to free myself (and clients) of old patterns of conditioning.

If you're into the Law of Attraction and Abraham-Hicks, you'll be familiar with the message that you real work in this life is to clean up your vibration. Perhaps that sounds, New Agey or esoteric, but I consider myself to be a pragmatist (albeit an optimistic one!), and I've have personally found this work to be the key to improving my life. It sure simplifies things too!

Anyhow, as I mention in the video, I've been working with the Wavemaker machine for over 7 years now. Initially, I focused on changing the dynamics of my personal relationships (I seemed to create the same one over and over, just the person next to me looked different. Finally, I realized the problem was me…). Since clearing out some old patterns of need… well let's just say I am much happier and feel much more free in my relationship. I attracted something so good, I even got married.

I've used the technology to clear up my conflicting intentions and limiting beliefs from everything to living in the present moment to attracting my dream home (I live in the evidence…). In my opinion, this kind of work — core energy work — is the future for personal development and therapy work.

Here are a series of 4 videos that walk you through the process of a Wavemaker session…

By the way, I was inspired to create these (I know the quality isn't perfect, but better to create and than hem about perfection), by a recent conversation with my friend Jenn who reminded me of the effect a session (on her habit of feeling disappointed had on her life).

I created a quick audio excerpt of her powerful experience right here:

Jenn's audio is 3 minutes…

Okay, time for the show…

I know, I should have smiled more… but this is serious business, man…

PART I - 7:42

An overview of the philosophy/technology of the Wavemaker

PART II - 4:53

Intention statement, tapping into your KNOWING, using the good 'ole witchin' wands (I keep hitting the mic with 'em, sorry!), identifying barriers

PART III - 4:03

more checking with the wands, debugging with Wavemaker

PART IV - 2:01

explanation of what to expect after a successful debug, check with the intention statement = 100%!

I don't know if you got through all that, but if you did, bravo!

Okay, for those of you who are REALLY curious (I was when I first learned of this technology), I'll include a great 20 minute audio from the inventor of the Wavemaker, Tom Stone…

Thanks for checking this out and again, let me know any questions that arise…

On my way to basketball this AM I was listening to my trusty satellite radio, doing some rockin' out.

An old Def Leppard song came on — Action, Not Words.

I haven't heard the song in years, but  this was the music of my youth and in those days I spent all my money on albums, cassettes, walkmans, and speakers.

Somehow, all the lyrics were still embedded in my neural connections. The words poured out, I sang along, got pumped up to play some basketball, and reflected upon my teenage years.

While I couldn't quite remember who I was back then (I think I was happy, but was I?), I was certain that Def Leppard had indeed rocked. I wanted to share the sentiment with someone, to reminisce over the merits of the albums High N Dry and Pyromania. (For the record, they turned the corner for me with Hysteria.)

But it's just me and soon I'm at the gym, doing battle.

After the games, I stop at an internet cafe to do a little work and get some food.

I notice a couple in the booth across from where I type this entry.

Something about them strikes me, so I keep stealing glances, piecing together bits of information in my head (I do this, so beware of me in public places. I tell ya, I don't miss a trick). I notice his accent — pleasant. English? Certainly not from these parts…

There's something about them… are they artists of some kind?

On their way out, I hear him mention something about a manager for Def Leppard.

Wait a minute…

Is that…?

Of course, it is!

A Google search confirms everything…

The dude is one of the members of Def Leppard!

(I'll keep it private as to which one, but I'll say that I've never seen anyone else play his instrument the way he does. Got it now, rock fans?)

Believe me that when I tell you this was a rather unlikely meeting place. I'm still shaking my head at the thought of it. I do not live any where near L.A…. Logically, the odds had to be damn near zero… but I like to look deeper than logic can take me. (And if he hadn't said something about Def Leppard in front of me at the last minute, I never would have made the connection. It sorta felt like he was giving me a clue…?)

These sorts of meetings have been happening quite a bit in the past few weeks (but this one takes the prize so far). I will think of someone and then bump into them in an unlikley way. It's fun and a bit freaky too…

I've doing some working clearing any barriers to my intuition with my Very Cool Life Network group… I think this is likely it — that I'm just in tune with what's to unfold.

Here's to remembering more of the future!

And rocking out…

On my vision board in my office is a picture of a Toyota FJ Cruiser.

I've wanted one since they were introduced a couple of years ago.

Each time I see one on the road, I feel my desire light up. A few months back I stopped a dealership and sat in a couple models to stoke the flames of my desire.

The other day I was leaving the mountain after a great day of spring skiing. My legs were shot from a day of pushing myself and I was hungry as I'd not eaten since breakfast. In short, I was looking forward to getting home and sitting in front of the fire.

On my way out of the resort, I noticed two FJ Cruisers off to my right.  As I got closer, I saw a sign inviting me to stop in an test drive the FJ on an obstacle course. As cool as that seemed, my tired legs and grubling belly trumped my desire. I drove on past the entrance to the course.

But as I drove on, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was cheating myself in some way. Opportunity was knocking, and I needed to open the door. So I did a U-Turn and within a few minutes I was on the course. (The young man asked me if I had a license. I said yes. We were on our way).

This is me driving the course. A little 3 wheel action! I really thought I might roll it one section.
Toyota was smart enough to take my picture. Good marketing, eh? I mean, I'm sharing it…

So now I want an FJ more than ever, of course! I'm sure I could have one in my garage tomorrow if I went to the dealer, but I have no desire to do a lot of financing to get something I really do not absolutely need (but it would be very cool).

Right now, I do not know how this vehicle is going to come into my life. As far as I can tell (but hey, I am open to anything!) I'll need to attract more money. But my desire is growing stronger and in my experience, when I get this feeling, something usually happens.

The greater point to make here is that I believe you have to meet the universe half-way in manifesting your desires. Attracting things is not simply about thinking positive thoughts, sitting on your couch with a nice beer, and waiting for the doorbell to ring (alas, I've tried this to no avail).

Rather, you need to engage in the actions that are in alignment with your desires. Whether you want a vehicle, a home, a career you love, or a life partner ask yourself what you are doing to meet the universe half way? What are you doing that brings up the same feeling within you that matches the feeling of having your desire already?

Stopping to test drive a vehicle certainly is not hard. Yet in that moment, it was easier for me to drive on by. Such is the case with so many of our desires. It's simply easier not to put our conscious attention on what we want. Strange, but true.

Keep in mind, conscious actions lead to conscious creations.

The next photo of me and the FJ will be me sitting in my driveway. Dunno when that will be, but I can feel it.

 

To be continued…

 

 

I've been having some technical problems with my sites lately.

Nothing like the problems I've had in the past.

But things disappearing. Features no longer working. Links breaking.

Annoying stuff, and sometimes, maybe important stuff for my businesses.

But in the grand scheme of things… nothing too serious.

I pay for software and support on these sites, so I contacted the head dude. We'd been in touch over the past week on mutiple issues. Today I noticed another problem and wrote him for a solution.

He wrote back:

"You seem… cursed :(  "

Oh baby.

I did not want to hear that one.

Deep down I knew he was right. I mean, who ever heard of tech support telling someone they were cursed?

But like I said, his message came through loud and clear.

It ain't the software. It ain't the computers. It ain't the webhost or the network or the intenet connection.

It's me.

The sting of that realization lasted a minute or two.

But then I could own it. And in taking it on, I regain my power. This is true freedom.

So I spent a few minutes crafting an intention statement.

"My technology fully supports me."

At first I resonated with this statement at only 23%. Then I debugged it until I resonated at 100%.

In other words, what I have put out there on the energetic level (a message of "this stuff doesn't work for me") has left lots of room to attract and create problems. And it has.

The first step?

You have to take 100% responsibility for everything in your life. The "good" and "bad."

Most people not take this first step.

It can be a doozie.

And it's easier to blame technology. Or the dude who just cut you off in traffic. Hell, that even makes more "sense."

But it's not the best way to live. Not the fullest life.

Not the coolest life.

A Netflix movie arrived in my home the other day.

I opened the envelope and read the title:

Why We Fight.

I do not remember hearing about this film. I do not remember putting it into my queue. I suspect the social psychologist in me was drawn to the title as I am always interested in exploring why we do what we do. And I love a good documentary. Why We Fight did not disappoint.

To be clear, the "We" in the film's title refers to the American republic. And the rest refers to the exploration of why the U.S. has been involved in a endless succession of military conflicts over the past century. The film examines warfare from an institutional level rather than an explanation of what drives individuals to violent behavior.

Why We Fight uses President Eisenhower's farewell address where he offers a warning about the rise of what he terms "The Military Industrial Complex" to make its point. Briefly, Eisenhower described how by creating an environment where warfare is such a salient (and hugely profitable) industry, the likelihood of using this technology — regardless of the rationale — increases.

Here's the video of address to give you the flavor.

Listen carefully.

 

 

It's a downright prescient speech, don't you think?

In my work, I talk a lot to clients about creating the proper environment to attract your desires because your environment influences your energy, an in turn, your energy determines what you attract. Obviously, I could go into much greater detail, but for this post, think of it in this way — there is at least some kernel of truth to the adage "if you build it, they will come."

Regarding warfare, Einstein made this point when he said, "You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war."

In terms of the Law of Attraction, with so much emphasis on warfare in the American psyche (Rambo 4, anyone?) and in the American economy, we create more of that to which we give our attention and energy. Did you know that the United States' defense budget is more than every other nation in the world, combined? Three-quarters of a trillion dollars. That's a lot of scratch, right? With that much emphasis, it's little wonder that war has been created with such regularity (see the film for a full list of the wars and "conflicts." It's easy to overlook how often it happens…).

An important point about the film is that to my eyes, it does not demonize or blame any leader in particular like a Michael Moore movie. Rather, it examines the powerful (yet oh-so-subtle) influence that the the environment ("the immense military establishment" in Eisenhower's words) has on the "economic, political, even spiritual" realms. To my way of thinking, the message of this movie is encouraging. The movie seeks to spread awareness, and with awareness we can create change.

I encourage you to give it a look. I know if I was still teaching, I would show my students this film.

Here's the trailer…

 

And, in my research for writing this, I found that the entire movie is currently available online here (though I recommend renting it without the sketchy subtitles added in this version).

This movie changed the way I looked at things (for one thing, I noticed just how many times the cameras fixed on military men in the latest State of the Union address), and I am always eager to share and connect…

I'd be interested in your thoughts.

P.S. — One for the conspiracy theorists — My friend and loyal reader The Gordonator works for the US Gov't. Wrote me an e-mail today saying that he could no longer access this site on his work computer. Banned! We did all sorts of little tests together. Appears to be content related. Of course there could be lots of other explanations… but it is weird. Just sayin'…..
