"Our greatest programming from the moment that
we are born on this planet revolves around behavior.

Our guilt exists because authority figures told us our
behavior had harmed other people. We had our hands
slapped when we did something wrong. When we were
old enough to understand language, the first word
we learned was "no."

"Don't do this, don't do that - - don't, don't,
don't!" and yet no master teacher has ever said
that our behavior made a bit of difference. They
comprehended that doing is not the creative force on this planet.

Even after we know about using consciousness to
create our realities, we occasionally get desperate
because we cannot see how our thoughts are
outpicturing, how they are bringing about the
changes we desire. So out of frustration we fall
back into doing.

That way of creating has always failed to create
permanent happiness and it will always fail.

We have been trained that the five senses give us
the only true picture of reality so it is easy for
us to see a building under construction and
believe that "creation" is under way. If that
were true, Jesus would have had to "construct"
the water as solid before he walked on it.

Consciousness is the reality on this plane. Doing
is the natural result that follows."

-- from "No Time For Karma", by Paxton Robey

We all know this. I just like the way he put it. :-)
Peace. -- Thomas

I had the opportunity just the other day to test the "wanting mind". Just a few days after I sent this
article a friend was visiting. As we were driving home from lunch she noticed Sumac blossoms and
said that they make a wonderful tea.
 
We didn't stop right then and there to cut them. Instead we went out later to "look" for the blossoms.
Those blossoms were no where in site. We looked and looked for the blossoms. It seemed like they
had disappeared from view.
 
Finally, we found 1 small tree and my friend jumped out to collect a few blossoms. With these small
blossoms in hand we headed for home.
 
Now without "wanting" it seemed that the trees were everywhere even though we were returning on
the very same route we'd taken.
 
Whenever you are "wanting" you are not here in the present. As soon as you let go of wanting, all
possibilities appear. Now, if I could just do this with the lottery  :)
 
Warmly,
Dolores

The Wanting Mind, Part 1 by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

"This force [that keeps us always wanting] is known in several Buddhist traditions as the Wanting Mind. The Wanting Mind is always craving an experience different from the one it currently has." --Brent Kessel, It's Not About the Money There is nothing wrong with wanting - wanting more time, more money, a wonderful relationship, a family, a successful career, a new car, a bigger house, and so on. It is not actually the wanting that causes us problems. Problems occur when we ATTACH our happiness, worth, and inner peace to getting what we want. Brent Kessel, in the above-mentioned excellent book, makes the ...

Truth Relative or Absolute?
by Eckhart Tolle

"Beyond the realm of simple and verifiable facts, the certainty
that "I am right and you are wrong" is a dangerous thing in personal
relationships as well as in interactions between nations, tribes,
religions, and so on.

But if the belief "I am right, you are wrong" is one of the ways in
which the ego strengthens itself, if making yourself right and
others wrong is a mental dysfunction that perpetuates separation and
conflict between human beings, does that mean there is no such thing
as right or wrong behavior, action, or belief? And wouldn't that be
the moral relativism that some contemporary Christian teachings see
as the great evil of our times?

The history of Christianity is, of course, a prime example of how
the belief that you are in sole possession of the truth, that is to
say, right, can corrupt your actions and behavior to the point of
insanity. For centuries, torturing and burning people alive if their
opinion diverged even in the slightest from Church doctrine or
narrow interpretations of scripture (the "Truth") was considered
right because the victims were "wrong." The Truth was considered
more important than human life. And what was the Truth? A story you
had to believe in; which means, a bundle of thoughts.

The one million people that mad dictator Pol Pot of Cambodia ordered
killed included everybody who wore glasses. Why? To him, the Marxist
interpretation of history was the absolute truth, and according to
his version of it, those who wore glasses belonged to the educated
class, the bourgeoisie, the exploiters of the peasants. They needed
to be eliminated to make room for a new social order. His truth also
was a bundle of thoughts.

The Catholic and other churches are actually correct when they
identify relativism, the belief that there is no absolute truth to
guide human behavior, as one of the evils of our times; but you
won't find absolute truth if you look for it when it cannot be found
in doctrines, ideologies, sets of rules, or stories. What do all of
these have in common? They are made up of thought. Thought can at
best point to the truth, but it never 'is' the truth. That's why
Buddhists say "The finger pointing to the moon is not the moon." All
religions are equally false and equally true, depending on how you
use them. You can use them in the service of the ego, or you can use
them in the service of the Truth. If you believe only your religion
is the Truth, you are using it in the service of the ego. Used in
such a way, religion becomes ideology and creates an illusory sense
of superiority as well as division and conflict between people. In
the service of the Truth, religious teachings represent signposts or
maps left behind by awakened humans to assist you in spiritual
awakening, that is to say, in becoming free of identification with
form.

There is only one absolute Truth, and all other truths emanate from
it. When you find that Truth, your actions will be in alignment with
it. Human action can reflect the Truth, or it can reflect illusion.
Can the Truth be put into words? Yes, but the words are, of course,
not it. They only point to it.

The Truth is inseparable from who you are. Yes, you 'are' the Truth.
If you look for it elsewhere, you will be deceived every time. The
very Being that you are is Truth. Jesus tried to convey that when he
said, "I am the way and the truth and the life." (John 14:6) These
words uttered by Jesus are one of the most powerful and direct
pointers to the Truth, if understood correctly. If misinterpreted,
however, they become a great obstacle. Jesus speaks of the innermost
I Am, the essence identity of every man and woman, every life-form,
in fact. He speaks of the life that you are. Some Christian mystics
have called it the Christ within; Buddhists call it your Buddha
nature; for Hindus, it is Atman, the indwelling God. When you are in
touch with that dimension within yourself--and being in touch with
it is your natural state, not some miraculous achievement--all your
actions and relationships will reflect the oneness with all life
that you sense deep within. This is love. Laws, commandments, rules,
and regulations are necessary for those who are cut off from who
they are, the Truth wihin. They prevent the worst excesses of the
ego, and often they don't even do that. "Love and do what you will."
said St. Augustine. Words cannot get much closer to the Truth than
that."

Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript of a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.

Jesus put it like this: 'For to the one who
has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will
be taken away.'"
It sounds almost unfair, but of course it isn't. It is a universal law.
Both abundance and scarcity are inner states
that manifest as your reality.
 
Whatever you think the world is withholding from you,
you are withholding from the world. And you are withholding it because deep
down you think you're small and that you have nothing to give. Try this for
a couple of weeks and see how it changes your reality: Whatever you think
people are withholding from you -- praise, appreciation, assistance, loving,
care, and so on -- give it to them.

Excerpted from Chapter 7 of Eckhart Tolle and Oprah on line sessions at
Oprah.com:




OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): … I want to move on to abundance, and there was a
question that I had earlier that you had on here about abundance, I love
that question. But there's a lot in Chapter 7 about abundance and that we
are not the little me that we think we are.


You say on page 190. "Whatever you think the world is withholding from you,
you are withholding from the world. And you are withholding it because deep
down you think you're small and that you have nothing to give. Try this for
a couple of weeks and see how it changes your reality: Whatever you think
people are withholding from you -- praise, appreciation, assistance, loving,
care, and so on -- give it to them."


So is abundance -- I was looking -- do you have that question to put back
here, the abundance question that somebody had asked in e-mail? What's so
great about this, I think, is that it's something people can do every day
right now, is to start to give that which you say you most want.



ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes. And it starts with recognizing
external abundance. That if the act of recognition that there's external
abundance -- and what that is we'll see in a second -- is the act of
recognition of external abundance already brings out the abundance that is
an essential part of your very being. So when you recognize abundance
without -- and what I'm suggesting there is to look at -- walking past a
store where there's a display of fruit, apples, oranges, and you see the
abundance and the aliveness that is there; acknowledge it there. Abundance
doesn't mean that you need to buy many things. You can buy or not buy. But
it's the -- you see the abundance of water, rain falling from the sky;
there's an abundance of water. There's an abundance of aliveness. There's an
abundance of joy in the dog that's going past you there. And so to recognize
-- to see the abundance that surrounds you, even if you're very poor in the
eyes of the world, the abundance is always there around you, but you need to
recognize it; acknowledge it. And another word for that is "gratitude."



OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): I know. I was going to say, that's why I've kept a
gratitude journal for years.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): If you keep a gratitude journal listing -- I do, the
same, just five things in the day that made you most grateful -- what you
start to notice is that there are more things added to your list, and you
don't even have time to write them all.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): And when you start to pay attention to the things.
Okay. And you also say, "Acknowledging the good that is already in your life
is the foundation for all abundance."


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes. And again, many people make that
mistake because they believe that, "There is nothing good in my life." And
that's absurd. It means they are not present, they are trapped in certain
stories in their head, which tell them continuously that, "There is nothing
good in my life." And if they only opened their eyes and looked around, and
if they smelled the air, saw the sunlight, the most abundant thing you can
see is the sun.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Well, I think the most abundant thing you can have is
your breath.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): The breath.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Come back to your breath.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): It's beautiful, yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Yes, come back to the breath.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): So you can be with that.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): When you can't think of anything to be grateful for,
go to your breath.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Breath, or the aliveness in your hands
and in your arms, to feel that.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Well, the e-mail question from Rose Anita in Georgia
was to ask you to please explain what you mean by "abundance comes to those
who already have."


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes. Now, abundance, you need to
recognize that as coming from within you. Abundance is not external things
that come to you that make you abundant. Abundant is the energy that flows
out of you, out of the being of who you are into this world. So the
beginning of -- you initiate this process by recognizing the abundance
that's all around you externally.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): "Outflow determines inflow."


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): And then it suddenly, the recognition
already draws it out, you see? OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): I was going to say,
isn't gratitude in itself an energy field that draws more to you?


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Isn't it its own vibrational frequency that draws more
to you?


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): That's what I interpreted you saying.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): That's it.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Is that gratitude is its own energy field.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): And that when you acknowledge and are grateful for
whatever you have, when you can see and feel the gratitude, experience the
gratitude in whatever you have, that changes your vibrational
frequency…literally.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): And allows more to be drawn to you.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes. It changes your entire reality. It
changes the way in which you experience life.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Yes it does.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): It changes your world. And so it's -- if
that's the only thing people remember, there are many things in this book,
but just if they want to change their lives, they're not happy with their
lives, bring gratitude into it, which is, of course, connected also to the
present moment because it's only, "Here in this moment…what is it in this
moment that I can be grateful for?"


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Be grateful for.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): And then you suddenly say, "Oh, it's all
that." There's always -- it's miraculous if you truly look around and sense
and feel, it's miraculous. The entire universe is miraculous.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Yes.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): And when you are so trapped in your
thoughts that you don't see this anymore, then the entire universe becomes
dead to you and there's nothing new that ever arises.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): You know, I was practicing this this weekend, I was
saying to Eckhart before we started that I was under the weather and had an
obligation in New Orleans and wasn't able to fulfill that commitment, and
normally I would've just been beating myself up about it, cause I've never
had to cancel anything before, but I decided to be with the fact that I was
sick. And I had one of the happiest days of my life being sick in bed
because I accepted it and was not fighting the fact that I wasn't well. I
thought, "I'm going to be with feeling badly, and I'm going to appreciate
everything about the day." So every cup of tea that Stedman brought me, I
was happy. And happy that I was, you know, I had clean sheets. I mean -- and
happy that I could open the curtains and there was sun coming through the
window. Just -- and I just had the most happy time being sick in bed. Yeah.
So that's what you're talking about.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Being able to be grateful where you are.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes, very, very powerful.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Yeah, if I hadn't read this book, I might not have
been able to do that. So it's been very helpful to me.

[...]


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): …. You can be grateful for things that
on the surface don't look so good. When you accept what is, you're grateful
whatever situation arises. Let's say your car breaks down and you have to
change the tire in the middle of the night, and even there you can say,
"Okay," we come to this later in the book…


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Yes.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): You begin sometimes, a so-called
negative situation -- begins with not resisting it.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Yes.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): And so…


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Don't you say in The Power of Now -- I just
interrupted a thought.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yeah.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): But don't you say in The Power of Now that all stress
comes from resisting the present moment?


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes. It doesn't come from the situation,
it comes from your thoughts about the situation.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Because the tire needing to be changed by itself could
not cause you to be stressed.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): No, there's no -- it just is as it is.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): It is as it is.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): And if you can see that, then suddenly
you move into that, and even there comes gratitude.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Yes. So your stress is about wanting the moment to be
different than what it is.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): And that's whether it's a tire, losing your job,
losing a loved one.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.

[…]


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): [reading] "And abundance comes only to those who
already have it," page 192. "It sounds almost unfair, but of course it
isn't. It is a universal law. Both abundance and scarcity are inner states
that manifest as your reality. Jesus put it like this: 'For to the one who
has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will
be taken away.'"

And he's not talking about things.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): No.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): He's talking about your inner state of gratitude for
what you already have.


ECKHART TOLLE (AUTHOR A NEW EARTH): Yes.


OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): And your life will change.

Part Two
Stillness Speaks
by Eckhart Tolle

Pay attention to the gap — the gap between two thoughts, the brief,
silent space between words in a conversation, between the notes of a
piano or flute, or the gap between the in-breath and out-breath.

When you pay attention to those gaps, awareness of "something"
becomes — just awareness. The formless dimension of pure
consciousness arises from within you and replaces identification
with form.

True intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity
and solutions to problems are found.

Is stillness just the absence of noise and content? No, it is
intelligence itself — the underlying consciousness out of which
every form is born. And how could that be separate from who you are?
The form that you think you are came out of that and is being
sustained by it.

It is the essence of all galaxies and blades of grass; of all
flowers, trees, birds, and all other forms.

Stillness is the only thing in this world that has no form. But
then, it is not really a thing, and it is not of this world.

When you look at a tree or a human being in stillness, who is
looking? Something deeper than the person. Consciousness is looking
at its creation.

In the Bible, it says that God created the world and saw that it was
good. That is what you see when you look from stillness without
thought.

Do you need more knowledge? Is more information going to save the
world, or faster computers, more scientific or intellectual
analysis? Is it not wisdom that humanity needs most at this time?

But what is wisdom and where is it to be found? Wisdom comes with
the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is
needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-
conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words
and actions.

To receive what I want, I must not push against unwanted.

This is an expanding universe, and all things must be allowed. In
other words, for you to understand and experience what you desire, you
must understand that which you do not desire, for in order to be able
to choose and focus, both must be present and understood.

Did you know that over 255 different studies show money doesn't buy happiness.
Instead, the studies say, it's the other way around...

Happiness buys money.

People who are happy earn a whopping $750,000 more in their
lifetime than others. Plus, happy people tend to be more
fulfilled, relaxed, and peaceful... they naturally enjoy more
opportunities, better care, lower prices, more friends,
greater intimacy, and so on.

While you might think, "Sure, I would be happy too if I made more
money," a fabulous new book from my good friend Marci Shimoff says
just the opposite:  If you're happy first, everything will come to
you. You can actually attract a higher income. Great relationships.
More customers. Great deals. Contentment in your home. All
naturally, with little effort, which will make you happier still.

Marci's breakthrough new book, "Happy for No Reason," is already
getting huge acclaim because it actually shows you how to raise
your happiness "baseline."

This means that no matter what happens in your life -- no matter
what stress happens in your day -- no matter how dire your
circumstances -- you will AUTOMATICALLY return to a higher
level of happiness than you have today. Imagine, you don't have
to get richer, thinner, or smarter to be happier.

Marci has literally cracked the code on happiness. All we've ever
really wanted in life is to be happy. And Marci's book shows you
how. She gives you a clear, 7-step program that's effective and
fast. It works from the inside, out.

Marci is so convinced you'll be instantly happier after reading
this book, that she's giving you additional resources to make sure
you raise your happiness set-point -- not just read about it.

Click: http://snipurl.com/behappyfirst
to buy "Happy for No Reason" today and you will receive:

"Action Plan for Happiness" with Marci & success expert Paul Scheele
"Turn Happiness into Money" with Marci & CNBC wealth guru Phil Town
"Vaporize Unhappiness" by Sedona Method expert Hale Dwoskin
A computer-playable "Visiliminal" to "rewire" your brain for happiness

A guy stopped at a farmhouse for the night


the farmer said “im sorry but we don’t have a vacant room. however I can let you sleep with my daughter if you promise not to touch her.”




He agreed and went inside the dark room.


He undressed and lay down on the bed.




The daughter said, “please embrace me.”


The guy replied “I cant, I promised your dad that I wont touch you.”




The daughter pleaded “please, im getting cold…”


The guy sighed and said “ok,” and embraced the girl.




The next morning he paid his bill and told the farmer “ your daughter was very cold.”




The farmer replied “ I know….
















…She’s been dead for 2 days.”

Article: Instant Karma by Owen Waters

Karma, in the popular view, is often perceived as the bogey
man of Eastern philosophy, as the stick that punishes you for
doing the wrong thing. In reality it is much simpler than
that, and it carries no judgmental overtone at all.

Karma is simply reflectance. Reflectance is a property of the
universe. Therefore, life reflects what you project. This
principle of reflectance or karma states that life reflects
your beliefs, emotions and actions. The stronger these are,
the more apparent it becomes that life is a mirror of
whatever you project.

Whenever you change the way you view life, the universe, just
like a mirror, reflects your new view of reality. This may not
occur instantaneously as, often, circumstances do not allow
the new reflection to immediately manifest. In this case, the
new reality is held, like a pressure within the aura of your
body's subtle magnetic field. You then walk around in life,
surrounded by this magnetic potential, your "karmic pattern,"
as it influences your circumstances to adapt into a form
where the new reality will be able to manifest and operate.

Reflectance, sooner or later, produces manifestation.
Therefore, if you don't like something in your life, the most
powerful way to change it is to discover how you have
generated that reflection. Then change your point of view -
the beliefs, viewpoints and energies that you put into your
life - so that the reflection is changed.

It's just like the law in physics: "For every action, there is
an opposite and equal reaction." This law goes much deeper
than just a law of mechanical motion. It is how the universe is
designed at all levels.

Reflectance is entirely automatic. There is no judge. No one
looms over you, threatening retribution for imaginary sins.
However, because this law of life is automatic, you have to be
the one to initiate change. It will not come to you until you
take the initiative, until you create the action so that there
can be a reaction.

If you seek more happiness from life, the mirror of life will
shine more happiness back upon you, just as soon as you
decide, within yourself, to become a happier person.
Then it will reflect your new reality.

Your power lies in how you respond to the circumstances which
have been created in your life. Circumstances, within
themselves, are inherently neutral. It is human judgment that
assigns positive and negative values to those circumstances.
It is a paradox of life that the challenges of difficult
times can produce the most happiness in the end.

Remember that if "bad" circumstances are affecting you, it is
often not because of some "bad" way that you thought or
behaved in the past, but because you planned your life so that
it would present certain challenges. How you respond to those
challenges is the whole point of the exercise. The strongest
steel is that which is quenched from great heat and the most
compassionate heart is one which has seen great suffering
in the world.

Your viewpoint is your response to the picture that life
presents, and it is totally under your control. Your viewpoint
determines what energies you will put into life and therefore
what the mirror of life will reflect back.

Life is a mirror. Smile, and it will immediately smile back at
you.

Because others cannot vibrate in your experience, they cannot affect the
outcome of your experience. They can hold their opinions, but unless
their opinion affects your opinion, their opinion matters not at all. A
million people could be pushing against you, and it would not negatively
affect you unless you push back. They are affecting what happens in
their experience. They are affecting their point of attraction -- but it
does not affect you unless you push against them.

Excerpt from Abraham's new book:
The Astonishing Power of Emotions - Let Your Feelings Be Your Guide:

[Abraham:]

Some Examples to Help You Let Go of the Oars

In the pages that follow, we will offer examples on a variety of
subjects in which people often find themselves out of alignment with
their own desires. We will discuss desires relating to your physical
body, your relationships, your life purpose, your financial employment,
and even world events. We have gathered these examples from the
vibration of Mass Consciousness as you have been living your lives and,
in doing so, have been continually asking for improvement and expansion.

Some of these examples will dovetail with things that are important to
you right now, and some of them you may not relate to in any personal
way, but it will be helpful for you to read them, even if they are not
about "your" issue, because within these examples you will find
a complete understanding of the Science of Deliberate Creation.

It is likely that as you read these examples, you will take issue with
some of them, for you may not believe that some of the desires are
appropriate. Depending upon what you are currently experiencing and how
you are feeling, you may find some of these examples to be frivolous.
For example, if you are frightened about a physical condition and you
are reading a section regarding how to improve your relationship with
someone at work, you may feel annoyed that we are giving so much
attention to something that seems insignificant to you, given your
circumstances. But even though you may not be able to personally relate
to some of the examples that are offered here, we encourage you to read
through them anyway, for it is our knowing that in the process of
reading these examples, you will come to more profoundly understand
vibrational alignment. We do not seek to guide your desires, for your
own life has already accomplished that. It is our desire that the
following examples serve as a tool that causes you to allow your own
alignment with your own desires.

E x a m p l e 2: I cannot Lose Weight

Example: "I've been overweight for as long as I can remember.
There were a few brief times in my life when I was able to force my
weight under control through uncomfortable dieting and what felt like
deprivation, and through arduous exercise. But none of it was easy, and
I wasn't able to maintain the regimen for long, and so the unwanted
weight always came back. "I don't feel comfortable in my clothes
and dread shopping for new ones. I stand in front of my closet looking
for something to wear, and even though I have some nice things, nothing
appeals to me because I don't like the way I look no matter what
I'm wearing.

"My body doesn't move well, and I know that I'd feel so much
better all around if I could just lose a few pounds, but I feel
powerless to do anything about this excess weight, so I'm very
discouraged."

Now we want to begin this discussion by reminding you of the most
important part of Deliberate Creation: Creating is not about making
things happen through action. In fact, creating is not about making
things happen at all. Creating is about allowing the thing that you
desire to happen, and the allowing happens through Energy alignment, not
through action.

Sometimes this is a hard thing for you to hear because you know, from
your personal experience in life, that action does get results. You know
that you have been able to shed unwanted pounds by decreasing your food
consumption, and there is no question in your mind that the exercise
helped, too. And we are not disagreeing with any of that, for it is
obvious that action does have a place in the creating of many things. In
fact, without action, your society would be without a great many of its
things. But when you make action the cornerstone of your Creative
Process without considering the vibrational basis of your Being as you
are taking the action, you are working under a distinct handicap, for
there simply is not enough power in the action itself to compensate for
the competing Energies of your misaligned thought.

You may recall a successful experience where someone offered you an idea
regarding losing weight, and you felt an immediate enthusiasm toward the
idea. Your enthusiasm could be attributed to the power of the belief of
the person who offered the idea to you, or it could be that the idea
dovetailed precisely with beliefs of your own . . . but it is your
enthusiasm that we want to call your attention toward.

Your enthusiasm was the evidence that the vibration of your Being was in
alignment. And then, remember what happened next: You were eager to take
the action—and in taking it, positive results occurred. . . . It is
possible to take action because someone suggests it or encourages it or
even demands it; and once involved in the action, your attitude can
begin to improve. But the deliberate alignment of your vibration,
first—which then inspires successful action—is a much more
powerful approach to whatever it is you want to create.

During your discouraged moments as you acknowledged that your body was
not as you would like it to be, you were launching rockets of desire
about what you preferred, and within all of that processing of
life—and without realizing it—you have been adding to your
Vibrational Escrow. You have created a vibrational version of the
new-and-improved physical version of yourself.

We want to help you understand that this is not a flimsy dream floating
somewhere in your imagination. This is not a delusional departure from
reality. This is a creation in the making, and it is being created in
precisely the same way that everything you see around you has been
created: The living of life gave birth to the idea or thought—which,
in time, with focus, became what you call your "reality."

So the discouragement that you have been feeling is indicating the
discord between the continually evolving creation of your beautiful body
and the thoughts that you continue to think regarding your body. Your
body has been vibrationally evolving, but your old patterns of thoughts,
your beliefs (which are only thoughts that you continue to think), are
causing a vibrational discord. And under those conditions, successful
action cannot be inspired or performed. Under those conditions, all
action is harder, yielding little or no results, causing more
discouragement still.

The key to bringing your body to a new place is to see it differently
from the way it is. It is necessary that you focus upon the body that is
coming and distract yourself from the negative aspects of your current
physical body, for as long as you are seeing your body as it is, you are
contradicting the vibration of the idea of a slender body. You cannot
create a new reality while looking at your current reality.

So now that you understand why it has been so difficult to find the
inspiration to act and why the action, even when you did offer it,
netted you very little results, let us show you some very simple things
that you can do that will begin the process of aligning your Energies
immediately, for by understanding the Laws of the Universe, and by
understanding the basis of your creation (which is the simple alignment
of vibration), you will now be on your way to the outcome that you
desire:

• Your choices, right now, do not include whether you are at your
perfect body weight or not.

• You have no choice other than to be at the body weight you are at
right now.

• You are going to weigh about the same thing tomorrow as you do
today, and the next day, too . . . and so on.

• Changing your body weight right now is not an option.

• Changing your vibrational alignment right now is an option—a
powerful one.

• Also, you are not, right now, choosing between feeling fabulous or
terrible.

• You are not choosing between feeling enthusiasm or discouragement.

• Your choices, right now, are more subtle and more fine-tuned than
that.

• You are making the simple choice of feeling a little better or a
little worse.

• You can choose an upstream thought or a better feeling, downstream
thought.

• Those are your only choices: upstream or downstream.

• But those choices are enough.

For example, imagine you are at an outdoor shopping center. You are
moving in and out of many beautiful shops, and there are hundreds of
people moving in and out of them with you. These individuals vary in
size and shape and wardrobe, but you are predominantly noticing nicely
dressed, nicely shaped, beautiful people all around you; and as you see
them, you feel self-conscious. You are now awkwardly aware of what you
are wearing, and you are unhappy with the way you look today. You turn
to see your reflection in the window as you are walking, and you are
extremely unhappy about the way you look. You feel agitated,
discouraged, and unhappy, and you are not having a good time on this
shopping outing at all.

You have now lost interest in the reason why you came to the mall. You
do not feel like shopping anymore. In fact, the only thing that is
appealing to you right now is the idea of getting something to eat.
There are good-smelling things in the air, and you realize that you are
hungry and that you do want a snack. There are several choices within
view, and from the fragrances in the air, you know there are more
choices nearby. Any one of several things sounds good to you: ice cream,
candy, maybe something more substantial such as a sandwich. Actually,
all of that sounds pretty good to you right now.

Your urge to find a quiet place to sit while you eat something is
becoming quite strong, and while you are trying to fight the urge to
follow through on your impulse, it is much easier to just give in to it
and get something to eat. As you are standing in line at the ice-cream
counter, you notice the slender people waiting in line with you. They
are annoying, and as you are annoyed, your urge for the ice cream grows
stronger still. . . .

Before we continue with the details of this example, and before we offer
guidance to assist you in improving your situation, we want to explain
something that most people do not understand and, in fact, have a hard
time believing: Whether you gird up your willpower and walk out of the
ice-cream parlor or whether you go ahead and select—and eat—a
large tub of ice cream, there is absolutely no difference in the effect
of one of those actions over the other! Even if we are talking about
1,000 days of walking out as compared to 1,000 days of eating a tub of
ice cream, the action choice of one or the other makes no difference. It
is not your action that matters; it is your vibration. It is not your
action that makes you fat; it is your vibration. It is not what you are
doing that makes the difference; it is how you are feeling about what
you are doing.

In the beginning of your vibrational alignment regarding your body
weight, you may begin to feel enthusiasm for some changes in your diet,
and many would say, "Well, then, I don't see how this approach
differs that much from just going on a diet as I've done so many
times before." But we would ask you to notice how much easier it is
this time in the feeling of enthusiasm rather than the discouragement
that you have been acting from before. You will also notice that in this
state of improved emotion, you will find an appealing idea, and then
another. You will begin to find a sort of rolling out of a continuous
path of good-feeling new ideas. You will begin to feel carried along by
those new ideas rather than struggling to find them, and, before long,
you will begin to see physical results. Of course, upon seeing the
physical results, your feeling of enthusiasm will be even greater, and
then you are really off and running toward the outcome that you have
been seeking. And as you achieve your desired body weight (and you
will), you will say to yourself after the fact, This time it wasn't
difficult, and this time I'll keep it off. And, in any case, I now
know what to do, whenever I decide to, about achieving whatever physical
bodily condition I choose.

Consider This:

If being slender matches the emotion of happiness . . . and you were to
consistently eat ice cream while feeling happy . . . you would be a
slender person who eats large quantities of ice cream.

If your desire to be slender while you are currently not slender matches
the emotion of discouragement . . . and you were to consistently eat ice
cream while feeling discouraged . . . you would be a fat person who eats
ice cream.

If your desire to be slender while you are currently not slender matches
the emotion of discouragement . . . and you were to consistently use
your willpower to keep yourself from eating ice cream . . . you would be
a fat person who does not eat ice cream.

Some would ask, "Abraham, if being unhappy makes you fat, why are
there no fat people in an environment where food is scarce? They are
unhappy, and they are not fat. They are often starving to death."
And we would answer, if you are focused upon the current situation of
food scarcity, and you feel fear for yourself and your loved ones, you
are a match to what you do not want. It makes no difference if not
wanting to be fat is the issue that turns your thoughts upstream or if
the idea of starving to death is the issue that turns your thoughts
upstream: Your thoughts are still upstream—which is resistance to
what you desire, whether your desire is slenderness or enough food for
your family.

Being slender matches the emotion of happiness. (downstream)

Being fat matches the emotion of unhappiness. (upstream)

Having enough to eat matches the emotion of happiness. (downstream)

Not having enough to eat matches the emotion of un-happiness. (upstream)

The key to creating everything that you desire is to find a way to turn
to the better-feeling, downstream thoughts, even when the current
situation does not evoke it from you, and to use your willpower to focus
your thoughts in the direction of your desire and who-you-really-are,
rather than using your willpower to try to produce action against the
Current.

So, in the beginning, your thoughts may be something like the following:

I am fat. (upstream)

I don't want to be fat. (upstream)

I'm so tired of being overweight. (upstream)

I don't like how I look. (upstream)

I don't like my clothes. (upstream)

I don't want to shop for clothes. (upstream)

I've tried so many things. (upstream)

Nothing works for me. (upstream)

Remember, you do not have to fix everything. Just try to find a thought
that feels a little bit better:

I wish I could find a way. (downstream)

My feet would feel better for sure. (downstream)

Again, these are not earth-shattering statements, but they do feel
better, and therefore they are downstream—so your work, for now, is
done.

Whenever you find yourself beating the same old drum about your body
weight, if you would make an effort to turn your thoughts downstream and
stay focused upon the subject until you feel a slight turn, in a very
short period of time you will improve the vibrational relationship
between where you are and what you want, and you will be amazed at the
leverage this improved vibration will give to your process. Everything
about this will get easier and easier until, in time, your desired body
weight will have been achieved.

So now, let us say that you are at work. You have not been focused on
your body or your weight because you had things to accomplish and
you've been busy at those things. But now it is lunchtime, and as
you are walking past the vending machine, you feel an urge to buy a
cookie. You put in your money, the cookie drops through the chute, and
while you are unwrapping it, the feeling of discomfort comes over you.

"Here I go again," you say, feeling the discomfort washing over
you.

But the urge is strong, and you take a big bite of the cookie. You feel
worse still as a strong feeling of disappointment now rises within you.

But this time things are slightly different from ever before because you
have some positive momentum going from those statements you have been
making about the subject of your weight.

You remember, It isn't about what I'm doing. It's about how
I'm feeling while I'm doing it. So you pause and look at the
cookie, and you make the following statements:

I shouldn't be eating you. (upstream)

You'll only make me fatter. (upstream)

You are delicious, though. (downstream)

And you're not all that big. (downstream)

I could eat some of you now and save some for later. (downstream)

I like having choices. (downstream)

I like making deliberate choices. (downstream)

I like being in charge of my actions. (downstream)

If I had stopped to think, I may not have been so quick to put my money
in this machine. (downstream)

I'm really making quite a big to-do over eating a little cookie.
(downstream)

You're a tasty little cookie. (downstream)

Well, I'm enjoying you, cookie. (downstream)

I'm deliberately enjoying you. (downstream)

And sometimes I'll choose to eat you, and sometimes I'll pass.
(downstream)

Right now I'm going to eat you. (downstream)

And I'm going to enjoy you. (downstream)

You have just accomplished something that is rather unusual for you. You
are eating a cookie, and you have talked yourself into alignment with
yourself and therefore with your desire to be slender at the same time.
You are in alignment with You, which is much more significant than
anything you are doing—or not doing—with the cookie. And now, a
very slender person walks up to the machine, pulls out a cookie, and
begins to eat it. And as you watch, you can tell that this person is
truly savoring this cookie.

In the past as you watched a slender person eating a cookie, your
thoughts would be:

It's not fair. (upstream)

Her metabolism allows her to eat tasty things and still be slender.
(upstream)

She's probably unhealthy, and that's the only thing she will eat
today. (upstream)

But this time, because of the vibrational work you have been doing, you
think instead:
Ah, there is evidence of someone who's in alignment with her desire
of eating a cookie. (downstream)

It is all about vibrational alignment. Do not look for immediate
measurable physical results. Instead, look for improvement in your mood,
your attitude, and your emotions. When you feel better, you are more in
alignment—and everything else will follow. It is Law.

"What Can Frogs Teach Us About Change?" by Amanda Gore

You have probably heard that old story bandied about in management circles about two frogs. One is put into a pot of boiling water and guess what happens? Surprisingly, it jumps out…very quickly! (Smart frog!) The other frog is put into a pot of cold water which is put over low heat. The heat is then gradually turned up to the boiling point, but the frog doesn't notice the subtle small changes and allows itself to be boiled to death. (Yuck!)

Now for you animal lovers out there who might be shocked and appalled by this concept - let me rush to say that I don't know if this experiment was actually conducted or if they used real frogs. But that story started me thinking about us and our similarity to frogs. Many people can slowly subside into a seething mass of mediocrity and it is amazing how easy it is for us not to notice a continuous slow decline in the quality of our lifestyles.

Think of the last time a crisis occurred in your life - something that precipitated a sudden and dramatic change. Although it was terrible at the time, I bet it made you rethink your goals, hopes, dreams, purpose, and the meaning of your life in a big way. Just like being dropped into a vat of boiling water, you'll make a very quick choice and change!

So should we look at something that forces change upon us as bad? Or could we maybe remember to keep the bigger picture in mind? If we played a game and you had to pretend you were looking back on this sudden change from the future, what growth and development did the incident spur in you? Did it change the direction of your life? Or trigger you to do something that you had wanted to do for years, but hadn't had the courage, impetus, or time to do?

If we want to make changes in our lives, we usually think about making one change at a time - doing it gradually so it's not too stressful or scary. There is some merit to this idea of course! But maybe there's also merit in throwing ourselves into "the pot of boiling water" and making lots of changes all at once.

It's more frightening, more challenging, and probably more stressful - but you might surprise yourself by your resourcefulness and abilities! Often, it takes extreme circumstances to bring out qualities you never knew you had. Difficult situations also help you develop confidence in your feelings, intuition, and inner knowing.

For example, sometimes we are working in a job that we feel is wrong, but we don't have the courage to "take the plunge" (just to continue the frog/water metaphor!) and do what we feel is right - even if we don't have another job lined up.
A friend of mine has just left her full-time paying job at which she was very successful. But she knew it wasn't what she really wanted to do. So she decided she would take responsibility for herself, and left. She didn't just leave and wander aimlessly wondering what she should do. She researched and made phone calls and networked and she had some cash reserves to keep her going. Now she is between jobs and feeling great when we (and she!) thought it would be stressful and scary. She is actively searching for her niche and is excited about life like she hasn't been in years.

A divorce is also a good example of the "boiling water" syndrome. At the time our whole world is shattered. Yet, ask most divorced people five years after the divorce how life is different and the answers are similar. "It was awful at the time, but it's the best thing that ever happened to me. Since then I've ....."

Or deaths. I had the great fortune to travel around Australia with Sarah Henderson who is a really amazing person. There is another example of being thrown into boiling water…her husband died and left her with a million dollars of debt. (It doesn't get much more boiling than that folks!) Since then, she has become a famous author, wise investor, international speaker, and generally has learned more skills than you can poke a stick at!

Sometimes, it's exhilarating to be thrown into boiling water - whether it's your choice or someone else's. As the season changes from Summer to Fall, this is a good time to ask yourself - how do I view change? Pretend you are looking back from the future. What impact did the Big Change have on your life? What did you tell yourself about it at the time? Perhaps in the present time, we can choose to look on it as a stepping stone (even if it's a forced stepping stone!) and opportunity to test ourselves and our abilities. And to see how good you really are…because it's usually much better than you ever thought possible!

Zoot-Zoot!

"A modern Western physician--granted with the greatest discomfiture --
will inform his patient that he is about to die, impressing upon him
that his situation is hopeless, and yet will react with scorn and
loathing when he reads that a voodoo practitioner has put a curse upon
some innocent victim.

In your time, medical men, again with great superiority, look at
primitive cultures and harshly judge the villagers they think are
held in the sway of witch doctors or voodooism; and yet through
advertisement and organization, YOUR doctors impress upon each
individual in your culture that you must have a physical examination
every six months or you will get cancer; that you must have medical
insurance because you WILL become ill.

In many instances, therefore, modern physicians are inadequate witch
doctors who have forgotten their craft -- hypnotists who no
longer believe in the power of healing, and whose suggestions bring
about other diseases which are diagnosed in advance.

You are told what to look for; you are as cursed-- far more-- as any
native in a tiny village, only you lose breasts, appendixes,
and other portions of your anatomy. The doctors follow their own ideas,
of course, and in that system they see themselves as completely
justified -- as humane.

In the medical field, as in no other, you are faced directly with the
full impact of your beliefs, for doctors are not the healthiest, but the
least healthy. They fall prey to the beliefs to which
they so heartily subscribe. Their concentration is upon disease, not
health.

- Seth, through Jane Roberts, from the book The Nature of Personal
Reality

Warmly,

Thanks to Sarah from the DNA Sharing group for this.
"Due to the negativity of many - the English language is often
misinterpreted and the word awful - actually originated as full of awe.
Also nowhere actually means now here
So i feel awful because i am nowhere
actually means yay! i feel amazing because i am now here!
Hope this adds a touch of magic to your day"

Now this is success! Julie Suhr author of Ten Feet Tall Still reached the 30,000 (really 4 zeros) mile mark just this past weekend.
Here in her own words are the secret of her success.
 
Dolores Arste

http://www.zenguidance.com
 
~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, those people who have congratulated me on crossing the 30,000 mile mark.  I have had three things going for me—I was blest at birth with good health, I have had tremendous family support and I have had the financial means to play the game. Not everyone has been that fortunate.  I hope by way of payback, for all the sport has given me, to show others that the spirit and the desire to ride a good horse does not lessen with age.

In addition, on Saturday when I achieved my goal, I had the best people in the world by my side. Kathie Perry and Sara Spencer, let me drag on them for 50 miles.  Alex North, Becky Glaser, Patricia and Mike Soffel cleaned my horse up for the BC judging because I was too beat.  And I know that Bob and our daughter, Barbara, were there every footfall because they wanted this ride for me as much as I did. 

For those of you wondering if you are past the point of taking up this sport, and to answer Nik's question, I was 40 when I tried my first  100 mile endurance ride in 1964. I failed miserably and was rightfully pulled at the first vet check.  I completed my first ride in 1965.  Bob, for whom it took 25 years of marriage to get on a horse, completed his first ride, the Tevis Cup, in 1976 at the age of 58. He thought it would be easier than crewing.  He rode his last 50 miler at age 84.  And thank you, Nik, for asking how young we were rather than how old we were.

Trilby and Les and Dave Rabe are the riders with many, many more miles than I have.  They are the only ones I know that have been more privileged than I.

Julie

be unclean, to him it is unclean." [Romans 14:14.]

Also, this one from Hamlet:

Join us for a free class based on Shelley Kaehr's newest book
 
Sales 101: Simple Solutions for Sales Success . Get your copy  

 from www.clickerbookstore.com right now and
 come to this great class.
 
Shelley spent her early years as one of the top reps for Jim
Rohn and sales Guru Tom Hopkins who calls Sales 101:

"Proof that good things come in small packages.  The sound advice and proven
strategies within these pages will make a world of difference in your sales
volume when you apply them," TOM HOPKINS, internationally renowned author of
HOW TO MASTER THE ART OF SELLING"

There's lots of of financial pain going on right now in the
US (ex. foreclosures sky high) and most of it's not going
to stop (it will get worse).

Many news shows have segments titled, 'The decline of the
Middle Class'.

The people who still think a company will take care of them for
life will soon find out that those days are over.
 
Did you know that more millionaires were made during
the great depression than at any other time in history
 
This isn't 1939. This is 2007. If you've read the
Science of Getting Rich you know that the principles
still apply.
 
The people who will get beat up financially now and in the
years to come, all have ONE (at least) thing in common.
 
Their Entrepreneurial, Marketing, and Sales education
is little or NON EXISTENT.
 
They've been trained for 20-30 years to be and think like
an employee and they're not equipped to succeed in 2007.
 
Join a group of determined individuals who are ready to
understand how to be, act, and think like a real
entrepreneur.
 
Are you ready to understand how the game of money is really
played and how to win at it.
 
The rich understand that this is a game.
 
They know the first step to win the game is EDUCATION.
 
So many people are chasing the latest 'get rich quick deal'
and coming out of it sad and confused.
 
Most people you know are going to be working harder and
harder over the coming years for less and less money.
Every day I meet people who tell me they are working
longer hours, making less money and are just burned
out.
 
Don't join them. Or, if you are one - stop.
Learn how to buy and sell
 
Master Entrepreneur Jim Rohn says
  "It isn't the money that buys you a future; it's your skills that buy you
  a  future. Money and no skills, I'm telling you, you are still poor. Money
  and no ambition, where are you? Money and no courage, you're broke. A little
  bit   of money and a whole lot of courage is all we need."
 
 
Think you don't need to sell. We all need to sell. Whether it's ourselves
to get that promotion or whether it's finding a way to tell people about
the great things you've discovered.

Subject: Let Music Forte work for you

Music Forte can help you multi-task! Here's how:
 
Let's assume that a non-profit organization that specializes in finding missing children joins Music Forte. In order to spread awareness of their organization they have manufactured a music CD that contains songs of hope.  Additionally, their CD insert provides full details about their organization, and explains to their own membership how people can make a difference and help find missing children.
 
Let's assume this NPO joins Music Forte as a Platinum Member.  This gives them full access to our Gold Plan.  On their Music Forte webpage, they regularly update it with information of missing and found children in America.  This information is immediately picked up by major search engines.  As part of Music Forte's service, we have uploaded all of their songs which go directly to their PayPal account.  All proceeds are used to strengthen their organization.
 
Next, they send an email to their group.  They let their membership know that they can receive the most recent information on missing children right here at Music Forte.  Additionally, they encourage their own membership to join the Platinum Plan so that proceeds can also be used in their efforts to find missing children.  You might be wondering why an organization would choose to use Music Forte's webpage as opposed to their own.  It's due to the same reason that the trailers for motion pictures advertise a myspace URL (one example out of many).  The answer is explained, so keep reading...
 
This NPO then makes sure that everyone who joins their Music Forte organization chooses the Missing Children's CD as they join. As a result, each member that joins generates a $10 bonus, and approx. $12 (determined by the selling price of the CD) which Music Forte pays right back to their organization.  An immediate $22 was earned from one referral.
 
Music Forte offers even more help by shipping their product to the customers for them!  With every new member, Music Forte carefully sends their CD in a CD-Mailer box to the new customer.  We take care of the shipping and handling, and the "grunt work" of running to the Post Office all the time.  We know you're already busy.  So let us take some of that work off of your hands by marketing, selling, and shipping for you.
 
This NPO tried Music Forte as an experimental run.  But they managed to bring in 100 new members, which created $2,200 in immediate commissions. Of course, they're also earning hundreds in recurring commissions each month.  That is a great success!
 
Now let's do some quick Q and A regarding what just happened:
 
1.  Did they detract attention from their own business?
Not at all.  In fact, they greatly reinforced it.  They designed their site to completely reflect their organization.  They generated a substantial amount of money that is sure to grow month by month.  They have used the power of Music Forte's search engine placement to raise more awareness of their business (in other words, they are now finding their business name and keywords on the first page of Google).  They have successfully sold 100 copies of their product.  And through it all they have helped find more missing children.
 
2. Was it uncomfortable to ask their members join?
Absolutely not.  Don't you always tell friends about a song or book you enjoy?  Don't you want them to know about your new website?  Their newsletter pointed out how this would greatly raise awareness to their campaign.  Social networking sites have amazing reach and potential.  It also explained how the CD sales and referral bonuses would be used to further empower their organization.  The introduction to Music Forte is very non-threatening, as it does not interfere with other business developments, it focuses on the appreciation of music (of which most people have).
 
3.  Has the organization raised name recognition?
Definitely.  Not only did they introduce 100 members to their site, but hundreds of other members also linked to their site as a friend or contact.  They quickly generated approx 500 direct friends/contacts through the social network.  They've used Music Forte's blogging service.  They have left comments on other members sites.  They've communicated with other members in the forums.  And their songs have been shared on thousands of playlists.  All of these create links back to their site which also advertises their main company website.  As a result, their Google PR has gone up from 0 to 3.  They are also now finding that the keywords they had tried to utilize for Google search results are now yielding first page position, as opposed to page 57.  And Music Forte syndicates all of the information through multiple news feeds!
 
4.  Why would an organization direct traffic to a Music Forte page as opposed to their own site?
That's a good question, but easy to answer.  As already stated, Music Forte is a social network.  It specializes in introducing people.  Most of the musicians who join our site also have their own webpage, but what they do not have is the audience that we are able to introduce them to.  As a social network, Music Forte can provide a great number of new people to your site on a daily basis.
 
Of course, there are also the obvious benefits of referral commissions, and  allowing Music Forte to mail your product and accept credit card payments for you.  It's an incredible value!   Music Forte only keeps $3 dollars for shipping and handling when a product sells.  Therefore, if the Missing Children CD is $15, Music Forte ships it and pays the organization $12!
 
Did you ever know that Music Forte did all this? :)
 

 
Social Networking is becoming a highly important marketing trend.  Almost every business has an account at MySpace because it greatly raises awareness.  At Music Forte you can also raise awareness to your own company, or ideas; but you can also do much more, as Music Forte has an additional service-related business.  Simply add members to your friend/contact list.  Furthermore, you can use the contact manager (another great feature at Music Forte) to keep your audience updated with YOUR news (not ours)! 
 
The Platinum Plan in conjunction with the Gold Plan services, provides an amazing opportunity to raise money or provide an income while supporting Independent artists, and utilizes a fantastic marketing plan that focuses on your business.
 
It's important to keep in mind what a powerful marketing source Music Forte really is.  Simply by using your name or company name in the "Display Name" area, you are most likely to find that keyword on the first page of Google within just a few days.  Music Forte can help you.  Use it to it's fullest advantage.
 
Do not be blinded by traditional perception of affiliate marketing.  Music Forte is by no means traditional.  There is no other social network as large as Music Forte that has utilized a forced matrix plan in their business.  The rapid growth will astound you, and the marketing leverage is immense.  Music Forte will support you and your business, fueled from the appreciation of music that everyone has!  Explore Music Forte.  Use your creative talent when designing your personalized page.  Share it with your friends and contacts.
 
Doing the above will create financial rewards while sharing your information with thousands. Music Forte has spent a lot of time in finessing the power of search engine optimization because we know that if you are not on the first page of Google, you may as well not even be listed.  The majority of people simply do not look past page one.
 
Example:  The term "Buy independent CDs" is extremely competitive.  Just about anytime you use the word "buy" in a keyword you should expect some tough competition.  Music Forte has competed with 1,220,000 results and exists on the first page AND first position of Google results.  We have achieved this success with many competitive keywords, and have helped thousands with their own results.
 
In most cases, the pages of Music Forte members pulls stronger than MySpace or Amazon!  It would be easy to present to you thousands of proven examples.  Please feel free to do some checks of your own.
 
Back to the original question.  Why are these four new genres so important?  We've just opened the doors of opportunity for those who never used the above sited example.  Perhaps they did not have a music CD; now they don't need one.  Perhaps they just never knew how they could use an mp3 file or CD to their marketing advantage; well... now we've just taught you!
 
One last "feel-good" comment, the Missing Children example is real.  In addition to setting up a site at Music Forte, we sponsored and served as a judge in a songwriting competition that has now been released on DVD.  All proceeds fund the efforts towards finding missing children.  Several missing children have been found as a result of the awareness through music.  To further the success, Music Forte will be sending this very special musical DVD to the next 10 people who refer a member to Music Forte.  The most recent sponsors will be noted at http://affiliates.musicforte.com at the bottom-right of the page.
 

The four new genres we support. They are:

Spoken/Meditation

Spoken/Miscellaneous

Spoken/Self Help

Spoken/Storytelling

This means you can advertise audio messages easily. But there is much more to your advantage. Allow me to further explain how these genres have the potential to explode your network and increase your profits!

Be Innovative

We often hear colleagues say, "Think outside of the box," but it seems that
people seldom follow
this familiar advice. Most are happy to carry on with their routine, doing
things the way they
always have, despite their vast potential to achieve more, or reach their
would-be greatest
successes.

To truly break free from the mold, be curious and imaginative. Ask unique
questions, and think
about possibilities. All improvements come from exploring alternative ways
of doing things.

Perhaps we are taught to avoid being curious or imaginative. Indeed, curious
and imaginative people
are usually thought to be children and creative professionals, such as
actors, artists, or writers,
a group often stereotyped as frivolous. In addition, curious children are
usually depicted as those
who stir up trouble or chaos.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Creativity abounds in all
professions, and curiosity
ushers in great breakthroughs for all humankind. Thomas Alva Edison's
invention of the light bulb
provided a great step forward for the world, yielding progress for all. So,
how could his curiosity
have been wrong?

Some people may associate imagination with children, but what's wrong with
that? If more people
remembered what it was like to be a child and looked at the world through
childlike eyes, then
their lives would be more exciting and filled with wonder, and their
destinies could be expressed
with the confidence and certainty of a young mind who can vividly embrace
his or her future.

Curiosity and imagination empowers you to transform your entire life. You
can develop new insights,
find inspiration, or find new direction simply by asking "What if...?" and
thinking of the
possibilities.

Be innovative in your thinking to find a new, positive outlook and fill
yourself with a better
source of energy. Without curiosity and imagination, you cannot see all the
possibilities and
opportunities that can empower your future.

Society may tell us that curiosity killed the cat, but we know that it also
brought us just about
every innovation and advance you can name. Isn't that worth a little risk?

"It is absurd to argue for our limitations when we are, as
consciousness and energy, the ones who created them.
Our purpose in life is to conquer ourself and our human
limitations and make known what we have yet to
know and experience. "

Listening 101 - Improve Your Listening Skills by Curtis G. Schmitt

Odds are your listening skills stink... Granted, I don't know you. So why would I say something so offensive? To shock you and get your attention, of course! Face it, if in fact you're not a good listener, then I need to do SOMETHING special to engage you, don't I? Not to mention, it's probably true! (There I go trying to get your attention again...) Before you get the impression that I think I'm better than you are, let me say... As a listener, I have my good days and bad days. The bad days are when I fall into my old habits, habits I ...
 
Warmly,

A few weeks ago I had the honor of interviewing Olympic Dressage
rider and coach Jane Savoie.
 
I truly hope you were able to attend this free call. There is no
better testimony to the workings of the Universe and the Law of Attraction
than listening to this call.
 
You will be amazed at how Jane went from a horse-less waitress supporting
her dream on tips to Olympic Rider because as she says
"I wanted to ride for my Country"
 
The call has been up on our free replay line. And, now, if you want to listen
again and again to her message, we have this call available for download or
via your own personal CD sent to your door.
 
Download it today and create your own CD for only $9.95 or just ask
for your CD and add $4.95 shipping and handling. Paypal and Credit
Card payments accepted. Just drop us a note or call
518 461 3470. We'd love to talk to you.
 
Don't forget to watch Oprah for a more in-depth discussion
about the Law of Attraction  Today! Friday 02/16 at 4PM EST.
 
And...the latest word is that Oprah's other show, "Oprah After The Show," will
be airing something about The Secret tomorrow at 2pm EST on the Oxygen TV
channel. 
Remember, these laws are in action whether you consciously
use them or not. So, why not get the best and use them to create
the life you want to live just like Jane and I have.
