With the advent of a new decade, a new year and leap year, 2020 is on track to be a most important and memorable year for all of us. To capitalize on the auspicious nature of this time, I offer an opportunity to dig deeper into the mysteries of your Self, your life and your heart for what is yours to create, aka your Higher Potential of Beingness.

Within the heart, mind and soul of each of us lies the mysteries of our true potential in life. Our everyday responsibilities, "have to's and should's" seem to dominate our time and energies, so much so that we feel we have nothing left to 

If you’ve been practicing moving your perspective to places other than the center of yourself, you have initiated a level of flexibility that can only get easier.

Closely aligned with flexibility of perspective is flexibility of perception.

We each are intrinsically self-centered. We are the center of our universe because our body is the source of our perspective until we mentally and emotionally move our perspective to other places. Because we are self-centered, we interpret what we see and hear and feel, etc. based on who we are and our personal experiences with what we perceive.

Perception is based on reception of energies through our sensory organs of smell, taste, touch, sight, hearing. What has happened from the beginning is we have assigned meaning to what we smell, taste, touch, see and hear with labels to facilitate communication of our experiences. Then, we generalize our experiences based on the old pleasure-pain spectrum of life. We are always gravitating to pleasure and...

We all recognize that with each morning, we have the opportunity to begin again, but do we choose to do so? Are you the kind of person that drops all the difficulties of yesterday in favor of creating a positive today? If not, you can begin again today to practice doing so.

How would your life change if you dropped and forgave all the issues of the past in order to give yourself a fresh start??? What if you could forgive all the people who appeared to harm you in previous experiences? What if you forgave all your own mistakes, misjudgments, misappropriations of energies and chose to view them differently – your life learning style?

To begin at the beginning means to choose a new perspective of life. Perspective is a flexible, moveable skill that we all can learn but often do not practice consciously. Artists are familiar with the concept of perspective when engaged in presenting life as it appears to the human perception in paintings or video. Everything we perceive we are seeing fro...

Recently I have been studying a program I used many years ago - A Course in Miracles! The whole purpose of the Course is to change perception of life from fear to love, from separation to oneness. I am reminded of the difficulty I had changing my own ability to perceive the truth. 

You might be thinking, “Why?” The importance cannot be overstated when the goal is to optimize the Self. When perception clouds the truth clearly we mis-create, at best. At worst we create problems that’s require our time, energy and attention, stealing these from our desired creations.

Changing perceptions is a primary goal of using the LIFE4 Coaching System. The goal is to use the LIFE4 System to change your perspectives and perceptions of life. Perceiving life as energies is a change in perspective and perception. Viewing energies as having 4 dimensions for the creation process is requires a change in perspective and perception. Viewing the Self as the creator in your life requires a change in perspecti...

I have spent my life in the pursuit of answers to the question “How do we get what we get?” As we develop our human Self, we begin to wonder “where” we should begin and end. Sometimes the chaos of the world pushes us in directions that are not really for our highest and best good. And, if we are not consciously creating our lives, we end up in places that do not support and serve us well.

Because I am the Creator of my life in this dimension, the responsibility for choosing what supports and serves my life is important. Being able to receive guidance from my God Self via my spiritual body is important to assist in the choices I make regarding my “place” in life. Place is not just location but has spiritual, mental, emotional components in addition to the physical considerations.

When I was 9 or 10 years old, I just knew I was going to be a teacher. Interestingly, I discovered that we’re all teachers, teaching ourselves various aspects of ourselves and others, and how life functions i...

Have you ever had the feeling that you didn’t “belong” in the world? Have you ever questioned “why” you were located where you were? Many years ago, I learned an important lesson that served to integrate my Self with the world.

For most of my childhood I recognized such a huge gap between myself and my family. The gap with my family actually generated the guiding question of my life – “How do we get what we get in life?”

In pursuit of my life question, I realized that I had never felt “at home” with the family I was born into. I was so very different that I felt as though I didn’t belong. I felt I was treated as though I didn’t belong. It took years for me to recognize they just didn’t understand me. My sisters would say things to me like, “I don’t understand what you just said! Who are you?” Rather than attempt to understand, they ostracized me.

At least 20 years before I learned about the Law of Attraction, I began to recognize I did feel at home with people who were interested in...

Many people overlook the reality that belief in anything is a choice. You may rationalize that your concept is worthy of belief because you have facts to support your valuing the concept, but belief is still a choice. When belief is stripped of all the "evidence" you have gathered, you are still choosing to value the concept.

Belief is never fact. Belief is always value.  How and what you value in your life is wrapped up with your beliefs. If your primary values are to amass money and possessions, that becomes the foundation of your existence.  When you invest yourself, your time, energy, money, in something, you are expressing what you value, who you value and why. You are expressing what you believe is the purpose of your life.

"Actions speak louder than words!" When there is no congruence between actions and what is said,  the person is out of integrity with what they say they believe and what actions they take. I have known people who talk and talk and talk about what they are "g...

The primary sense that we depend on most is our vision. We hear sounds as words, we smell, taste and touch materials in our environment, but we rely on vision to give us evidence about how to proceed within our immediate surroundings and goals. Our perceptions become our beliefs.

But, what happens when we perceive new information that contradicts our beliefs? We can dismiss it or we can research and analyze the new information to determine if it better serves us. The gap can exist between belief and information so large as to make it nearly impossible to bridge.

Francine Shapiro conducted a scientific study with trauma victims in 1988 and the research was published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress in 1989. Her hypothesis was that when a traumatic or distressing experience occurs, it may overwhelm normal coping mechanisms, with the memory and associated stimuli being inadequately processed and stored in an isolated memory network.

A technique developed called eye movement desensiti...

If you’ve been reading my blog for any time, you know I view life from a neuroscience and spiritual perspective. Integrating the wisdom from our spiritual texts and current scientific research seems to be a comprehensive approach of “as above, so below”. Coupled with the guiding question of my life, “How do we get what we get in life?” I have spent decades searching for how we manifest our desires into our world.

My Method?  Step 1: Asking the right questions in prayer and meditation. Step 2: Listening with all my senses for answers. Not a very sophisticated process, but one that has worked for me. The process began my first year in college. I was upset about something I considered monumental. I screamed at God saying, “If you’re that great, give me the answer!” I opened a Bible, fanned the pages and stopped on the page I felt I should, ran my finger down both open pages until I felt I should stop on the words. To my shock and amazement, the text at that place on the page gave me the ...
