“To identify as ‘only a body’ is a narrowing of awareness.”—David R. Hawkins

Caution: serious woo-woo ahead!

Feel free to continue seeking.

Feel free to look for another book or teacher or workshop.

Feel free to sit forever on that proverbial pot.

But just so you know, it’s all bullsh*!t.

In actuality, you are already free and whole and have everything you believe you don’t have because well, you think you’re broken or you fell from grace or you still have karma. Gotta keep practicing.

Family and culture passes out a script — “There’s something you need to do,” “There’s somewhere you need to go.”

“You’re not quite there yet,” we hear over and over again.

“Woe is me” makes for some interesting drama (I like a good Netflix show as much as the next guy). Believing there’s some kind of hierarchy (“that person is realized and I’m still working on it”) fits right into the cultural narrative.

But to reiterate, it’s all B.S.

I prefer to use the hologram known as Pam to enjoy, dance, create, hug, uplift, shine light and surrender as much as I possibly can. To let go of all belief in limitations, time, space.

I just read David Hawkins book, Letting Go. This book was particularly poignant for me because he doesn’t use the word “I” to describe himself. The I, the me, me, me, me is where we start to pick up an identity.

Instead, when he’s relating a story that would normally be first person, he simply talks about encountering a particular event that might just as well have been a scene from a movie. As the quote above suggests, he didn’t identify as ‘only a body.’

Because the hologram known as David Hawkins often drove into New York City to see clients, a thought arose “Wouldn’t it be great to have a small apartment in New York City.” And then he surrendered it. He’d be happy to have it. He’d be equally as happy not to. He let go all desire.

The next day, within 24 hours, he had the urge to drive into the city. It was around 4:30, normally rush hour, but there was little traffic. A car pulled out right in front of a real estate office near the area he wanted (or not wanted, it didn’t matter). C’est la vie!

He walked in, made his preposterous inquiry (everyone knows there aren’t inexpensive apartments on Fifth Avenue) and the agent said, “You are one lucky son-of-a-gun. Exactly one hour ago, we listed the only apartment in Manhattan on Fifth Avenue.” It was affordable and had just been painted.

“You can move in any time,” he added.

This scene from his movie happened without effort, without trial and error, without hard work.

So sure, believe the story. Keep practicing. Or let it all go and just have fun being God.

#222 Forever!

The mysterious case of top-secret collusion

“Nobody’s ego or belief systems are of any value to society at all. The world is neither good nor bad nor defective, nor is it in need of help or modification. Its appearance is only a projection of one’s own mind. No such world exists.”–David R. Hawkins

My mom was a pianist and church organist which meant the soundtrack of my childhood was hymns and Broadway tunes.

One of my favorites to sing came from the musical, “Annie Get Your Gun.” Annie Oakley and Frank Butler, playing one-upmanship, sang “Anything you can do I can do better. I can do anything better than you.”

I think of that song whenever I think about J.C. You know the cute guy with the beard and sandals that, according to the Bible, told us point blank that “Any miracle he can do, we can do better. We can do any miracle better than him.”

So far, I’ve yet to walk on the Sea of Galilee or turn water into my favorite glass of Cabernet, but neither activities reside on the top ten of my bucket list.

I’m more motivated by miracles of love, where people who used to hate each other realize they don’t. Or where some limiting belief that kept me stuck in an old pattern gets turned into a whole new possibility.

So why has it taken us so long to embrace J.C.’s exhortations to perform miracles?

One simple reason. We’ve spent the last 2000 years colluding with our egos, getting our intel from that little voice in our head that tells us we’re powerless and that it’s better to play it safe.

The ego is a crafty mother that has been yanking our chains for too long. It’s loud and it lies and it dishes up the fake news that we are nothing but crumbling bodies destined to die horrible deaths.

It tells us that other people are scary. That we must protect ourselves.

But it’s all smoke and mirrors.

It’s time, guys. We’ve got to quit colluding with the ego. We’ve got to quit colluding with our wounds, with our problems.

Instead, we must join forces with the light, the love, the creativity and the beauty inside each and every one of us.

And, as I like to say on Fridays, have the best weekend of your life.

“Listen; there’s a hell of a good universe next door: let’s go.”–e. e. cummings

Okay, so you’ve made some goals, set some intentions. But, so far, nothing has shown up. Wanna know why?

You’re trying too hard. You’re trying to force things instead of just relaxing and connecting with the power and genius of the universe.

See this picture. It’s green bean seeds from Experiment No# 6 (The Superhero Principle) in my book, E-Squared.

The reader who sent me this picture made the intention that the back row of seeds would grow faster than the front row.

It worked like a charm, because she knew there was nothing she could personally do to make those green beans grow faster. Except be willing. She had to surrender and believe that her focus and attention was enough.

With most goals and intentions, the ones where there’s something we perceive we should do, we think surrender is not an option. We insist on trying to make our intentions happen. We use force, we manipulate. We get personally involved instead of letting go and letting the majesty of the universe do its glorious thing. The tactic of aggressiveness sometimes works, but it invariably employs “weak energy,” an energy that will always play second fiddle to the simple power of willingness.

Willingness brings openness and flexibility and new possibilities. It’s the prerequisite for changing anything in your life, the starting point for manifesting goodness.

I understand your desire to push, to go, go, go. It’s the cultural norm. We’ve all heard some version of these statements:

“You have to fight for what you want in this world.”

“You have to put your nose to the grindstone.”

“Nothing comes easy.”

“If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.”

But there is another way. And it’s simple willingness.

By cultivating a willing mind and being willing to approach things in a new way, you’ll come from a place of power. You’ll find an energy that unifies, that encourages wholeness.

Yes, this energy is invisible (making it a lot harder to trust for some folks), but, in reality, it’s more tangible and powerful than forcing and grunting and groaning will ever be.

To change your life for the better, you simply connect with the power of the universe and then step back and allow it all to unfold with ease and grace.

And just so you know, there’s still time to enter the E-Cubed Selfie Challenge, the contest where every single entrant wins. You might win a free cruise or a pair of tickets to one of the four North American I Can Do It! conferences, sponsored by Hay House with all your favorite authors. Hope to see you there.

“Everything we need at this moment is already available to us in abundance, exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ask or think.”—Michele Longo O’Donnell

Last Friday, the federal government set standards to bring uniformity to the $4 billion market for gluten-free foods.

It seems everybody and their mother is giving up gluten…..or sugar….or dairy…..or meat or….well, the list goes on.

I find it ironic that we exert such Herculean efforts to give up particular foods, but make little effort to give up negative thoughts that, in the end, have more of a deleterious effect than gluten ever could.

Our thoughts and what we focus upon provide the structure for our lives, our day-to-day experiences and nothing could be more important than feasting on thoughts of abundance, tolerance, love, joy and well-being.

I have no idea yet what I will eat today (although hummus will likely be involved since I’m meeting friends for Mediterranean food tonight), but I do know I’ll forgo any thought that doesn’t provide the nourishment of the world’s unlimited beneficence.
