The following are questions submitted in a recent webinar I held in October titled "Master Your Reality". Each week a few new questions and responses from the event will be posted.
QUESTION: How can I accept that everything happens for a reason when I am at my breaking point while I am going through the process?
RESPONSE: You do not have to accept this. You can choose to see nothing but randomness or bad luck but it will bring you no closer to a solution for your perceived problems. Accepting that things are happening for a reason gives you the chance to discover where the reality before you is coming from.
Accepting that there is a purpose puts you in the path to find it, resolve it and hence change your reality so you no longer feel like you are at a breaking point. Acceptance IS the beginning of the pathway to change.
QUESTION: Can you please talk more about how the universe is a giant mirror? What does that mean for our behavior and the way we think? How do we use this knowledge to our advantage?
RESPONSE: What you believe is true is mirrored in the way you act. The universe reflects you actions back to you by what you experience from these thoughts and actions. When what you believe is not in sync with the reality you experience, you are confronted with this truth. Often times this is in painful ways. The purpose of the disharmony is to nudge you closer and closer to collective truth. When what you believe is in harmony with reality, you experience total peace and fulfillment.
They way this knowledge can be used is how it allows you to be more aware of who you really are leading you to become a very powerful creator of your reality.
QUESTION: What do you do when your practicing these techniques and are suddenly stuck a serious emotional blow? How do you bounce back?
RESPONSE: You realize that you have overcome it ALL and that you are overcoming it ALL and that you will overcome it ALL.
Emotional blows reveal attachments to the things in your outer world. The key is to enjoy and cherish those things while realizing that who you are at your very essence is always beyond the need for them. This allows for the most sacred and fulfilling experience of these things while you are experiencing them.
When something seemingly devastating occurs the question to ask yourself is “Who do I want to be in relationship to this event.” Am I going to curl up in a ball forever or am I going to get up, dust off and choose to live life fully. The choice is always yours and it will determine not only the quality of your experience of life but what you create within it. The power over "time" is always with you.

Questions & Answers About Life Part 1
The following are questions submitted in a recent webinar I held in October titled "Master Your Reality". Each week a few new questions and responses from the event will be posted.
QUESTION: how do we make sure we don't let self-love and self-awareness cross the line into selfishness and egotistic behavior?
RESPONSE: By understanding the distinct difference in the two. Serving oneself as a way to run from a negative state of mind is egotistic behavior and is temporary. Serving oneself as a way to liberate the cause of a negative state of mind through self-awareness and understanding, lasts forever and leads to unconditional love of the self and others. Egotistic behavior is behavior that serves the self at the expense of others. Practicing self-awareness and self-love is behavior that serves the self-leading to the benefit of all others.
Egotistic and selfish behavior comes from the need to feel better about yourself as it relates to other people. Self-awareness brings you to self-love through the realization that there is no better or worse but that all people are equal and perfect as is. Since the work of the ego diminishes through self-awareness, selfishness as a concept dissolves as well because there is no longer a purpose for it. Through self-love he opposite actually occurs where helping and sharing with others when needed or asked becomes an automatic response. You realize through awareness of the self that nothing can ever truly be lost or taken away from you which is a very liberating way to live. In the fear dominated ego mind you fear that everything can be taken away and you work hard and often times selfishly to protect your age, money, beauty, image, possessions, status, rank, power, etc… A futile and energy draining cycle.
QUESTION: Other then meditation, what are some ways to balance and center ourselves day to day?
RESPONSE: Focus on all you do have and all you have to be grateful for rather than what you think you do not have. Realize that all the context of the experience of life is a choice made by you and how you choose to interpret it in each moment.
Come to know and love the perfection that you are in this moment and the perfection for everything that is occurring in your life. Remember, it is not happening TO you but rather FOR you. Challenge the purpose of these occurrences until you come to love the rest of the world for the moment by moment perfection that it is…after all, it’s all there to support you on your never-ending journey……
QUESTION: Once we recognize our reality for what it really is, what is the next step?
RESPONSE: The next step is the same as it was before your discovery, you choose. Except this time you are creating with the knowledge and understanding of your unlimited ability to create life as you desire it to be. In addition to this you are creating from a new level of unconditional love for yourself and the world around you. Therefore, what you create generally alines with "serving" others in some way on the path to the same powerful & liberating understanding :-)
More coming soon...

The Never-Ending Power of Choice
The opportunity in this moment never goes away. The infinity of time to choose how you create and experience your life. What will you choose today? Will it be the same thoughts and feelings, producing the same actions and reactions as yesterday? Or today will you choose to be a new version of yourself. One where you begin to create the conditions that give birth to something new in your life. This could be a new job, a new feeling of personal health, a new experience of your relationship with another (lover, family member or friend), or a new result with money in your life.
Whatever you desire to experience, the creation of it is only waiting for YOU. It’s got nothing to do with luck, karma or timing. It has EVERYTHING to do with your desire and intention to FINALLY BE-come a new person. When you are ready to shed the old skin you will, period. You will hang to the current version on as long as it is tolerable, and for many that level of tolerance can come with a lot of suffering and pain. Make no mistake about it, the pain and suffering is NECCESARY to drive you towards change. While it may be necessary it doesn't have to last. So the question is “ARE YOU DONE YET WITH THE PAIN AND READY FOR CHANGE?”
The main factor that holds many people in painful situations is the fear that by taking the steps to change they might put themselves in a MORE painful situation than they are currently in. This is a convenient fear created by the ego to keep you just as you are. If you can remember this one thought as you think about taking the steps to change, it may help you move forward in a faster way. The thought is “ I WILL SURVIVE”.
You will survive if you put your resume out and go on a job interview. You will even survive if you get turned down. However you may just thrive if you get the new job.
You will survive if you have the talk with your loved one that you have wanted to have for years. You will even survive if the relationship ends. However, you may thrive if the communication and connection between the two of you goes to a whole new positive level.
You will survive if you are finally honest with yourself about your behavior or actions to another. You will even survive if you change those actions to something more in line with love and forgiveness. You may even thrive because of these changes and the new person you have become.
There is absolutely no pressure to do anything different. Just know that when you are ready for a new way of life, the universe will be here to support you in the effort to become the one who creates it. It will be here just as it always has with all the other thoughts and notions you ever had about who you are and what you are worth experiencing.
The power is in the same place its always been and always will be; your hands. The possibilities with this understanding are limitless...
Peace & love

The Holy Grail
The Holy Grail
By Howard Falco ©2005
www.truthserum.net
Elusive throughout the ages
Searched for over the centuries of time
Humanity has been unable to produce it
Not one has been able to find
This cup that holds such promise
Of powers beyond compare
The confused crave its magic
The fearful don’t even dare
Blind are all these seekers
Who believe it’s a possession to crave
The grail belongs to every person
Graced from birth to grave
Within it the source of wisdom and strength
Mistakenly sought over the ends of the earth
Those who come to its understanding
Will experience eternal rebirth
This treasure is with you always
Never lost so you cannot find
One day realizing it couldn’t be closer
For the Holy Grail is the power of your mind.

The Magic of Your Energy
We are all “it”. This “it” is what rocks, plants, animals and everything else in the universe is expressing in every moment - Energy. When you observe something, this energy comes off in both the display that you see with your eyes, ears, mouth, hands and nose and also in what you feel beyond the five senses about whatever you are sensing. This all leads up to how you react to what you are viewing.
Since energy is what you are, every moment of every day you are expressing this energy out to your world. This energy affects every person place and thing you come in contact with. Each other person, animal, plant, etc., learns over time to react to the energy of you. Just as you take on different personalities around different people in your life, other people, animals and even plants do the same around you. If you don’t think a plant reacts to how you treat it, then why does it change the direction it grows when you consistently trim only one side of it?
The powerful and magical conclusion of this idea is that who you express yourself as (Your Energy) is what puts the conditions together for what you experience from everything in your reality. Shaped, molded, and engineered by the deepest beliefs you have about who you are. That is why it is so vital to understand that nothing will change in your experience until you change your own idea about who you are! The minute you do this a new energy of thought will produce a new energy of choice and action will begin to create the foundation and conditions for a new reality to experience. Everything around you will respond in some way to align with this choice.
To begin this change, decide what you want to create and then ask yourself, “Who do I need to “BE” to begin the journey to create what I desire?”. The answer to this question and your will to adopt the new identity in every thought and action, will be the source of the energy that flows from you from this moment creating all that follows. How infinitely powerful you are….

The Message From Tragedy
A few weeks ago I posted a blog entitled “Why it all happens for You”. The underlying message being that all events have purpose and the more you can see the purpose, the more your life is experienced with a peace and a flow from this understanding.
I bring this up again now because in the last few days, front and center, this message became very clear at home.
My Wife’s Aunt, Bobbie King (her mother’s sister), was doing something she loved, filling in substitute teaching English at a civic center to immigrants looking to become U.S. citizens. As many of you may have heard on the news, a gunman came into the Binghamton N.Y. facility and killed 13 people. Bobbie King was one of them. We got the news Friday night and Sunday morning my wife was on a plane with her mother to attend the funeral.
Bobbie King was a mother of ten wonderful children and grandmother to seventeen grandchildren. A kind and loving human being that never uttered a bad word about anybody and always had something positive to say to all who knew her. All you have to do is see the warm and gentle nature of each of her ten children to know what kind of a woman she was.
In speaking to my wife today she said she stood in the receiving line at the funeral with her mother and Bobbie’s family for over three hours as hundreds of people passed by and paid their respects. She said each and every person had the most loving and kind things to say about Bobbie. Each person was touched in some way by her gentle nature and loving and accepting heart.
You can never truly know the ultimate destiny or path of another person during your lifetime. Even for the people who are closest to you. All you can control is how you handle the moment to moment expression of your creative energy out to them. Life is a sea of constant change. Everything you love and enjoy in your life is on loan from the infinite source from which it emanated from. It all has a finite life to it. Whether it passes or changes from what are seemingly normal circumstances or the transformation or change happens from an event that is viewed as chaos or unnatural, change happens nonetheless. Therefore, there is no better time to express your love to all of it then now.
So you can choose to see this as a senseless tragedy of a beautiful life cut short, or you can see this as a wonderful opportunity to wake up further to the finite beauty that is all around you every day. You can use this awareness to be present with your loved ones and strangers a little longer, be more compassionate and less judging, smile a little bigger, worry a little less, love a little deeper and freer, and simply enjoy more fully the magnificence and miracles in life that surround and that are for you each and every day.
So tonight at my son’s little league game I smiled a little longer at him before he went to bat and hugged him a little tighter afterword telling him how proud I was of him. When my daughter left for gymnastics practice I kissed her forehead a little longer and made sure I told her how much I love her. When we all got home I let our dog Karma lick my face a little longer. And as I laughed as she did it her tail wagged a little stronger and she proceeded to make sure she didn’t miss a spot on my face. And tonight I breathed in the night air outside a little deeper as I wrote these words, being overwhelmingly thankful for all of it.
There is a beautiful purpose in all things if you are willing to look deep enough into them to see it. This shocking and tragic event has brought to light the wonderful impact one woman has had on so many lives. It is also to offer to you just how much impact you have everyday on those whom you come into contact with. What will you do with the gift of life you have now? What will you offer to those whom you interact with each day of your life? What will you see in this message that you have brought yourself?
While many of the hundreds, or even thousands, came to mourn Bobbie King’s tragic passing, even more importantly, they came to honor what she did with her gift of life each and every day; offer the fullest of her simple and gentle love to everyone who crossed her path. Whether she knew them or not….
