So many forks…. so many roads!

I am all over the map!  Not a day goes by that I am not mindful of the degree to which my life is unscripted… without rituals and routines… a constant invitation for me to stop and wonder:  how does the godforce that I AM choose to live – in this day, in this moment, in this breath?  Without exception, the moment always comes with a choice to be made. 

It is October, and I am mindful of 2008 coming to a close.  I am also mindful of the intense pressure I feel inside myself to close loops… to bring cycles to completion before I move forward into 2009.  Beginning in January 2006, these last two years and 9 months have been moving toward the full expression of Intention 2009 – not like I knew that in January 06 anymore than I knew when I wrote ‘Fully Alive’ that it would be the first book in a trilogy.  In January 2006 I did not yet know what I know today.  How could I?  This ‘emerging future’ was not yet mine to know in reason and logic, but lived fully as a sensory cue in my body. Unlike now, in that moment I still did not know what an emerging future was!   But what I did know – instinctively and without hesitation – was to trust what moved inside me, knowing that it would lead me to where I needed to go.  And here I am! 

Tomorrow, I leave for Oceanstone and another Emerging Futures: Entrepreneurial Women retreat.  This will be my third – with each more powerful and moving more quickly than the last!  As one woman has said:  ’Every time, I leave this conversation and am catapulted forward in my life!’  I know what she means – it happens that way for me, too.  It is beyond leaps and, for me, defies explanation. 

I am driven to complete projects that I began earlier in the year.  ’Decloaking’ 20-CD set is almost done.  There will be a multi-CD set on CODE Model Coaching.  There will be another on WEL:Systems:NLP.  There are several new ‘Living WELness’ 70-minute conversations coming on, including one on Depression, one on Empty Nesters and one on Parenting.  I know that some conversations must come to a close in order to make way for new ones…. more powerful ones… that stand in a different place.  From there,  a new journey is begun. 

Not a moment passes that I am not mindful of vibration.  The vibration that I am and that you are.  The vibration of the sound of my ‘being’ and the sound of yours.  The vibration that penetrates, reshapes and transforms.  I am mindful of the vibration of voice – on CD’s, on podcasts and on internet radio.  I am aware of the need to reach much further, connect and engage.  I know that so many are seeking and not finding – not because they can’t or are not up to it, but because they keeping looking for what they’ve lost under the convenient streetlight… when what is precious to them was lost far from where convenience will allow it to be found.  

It is convenient to seek through the intellect.  That is a process we have been taught to trust and, supposedly understand.  It is less convenient to discover that this is one search where the intellect will not serve us; and that we must surrender the intellect to the body and allow it to lead.  No one teaches us how to do THAT!  And yet, that is the only way to find what we seek.  

I know what I say often flies in the face of so-called conventional wisdom.  I also know : it works. 

Breathing is good….

Restlessness….

I am aware of the degree to which I am restless… agitated… ready to move!  I am also mindful of the speed at which change can occur (from my Manifesting 6-day of last week) and the alternative state of paralysis that is a reflection of the attempt to manifest from the intellect.  Slooooowwwwwwwing down to re-enter what is considered ‘normal’ is creating a huge vibration in my body… like shifting from warp speed back to trundling-along speed.  I think I prefer something a little faster! 

Things are moving quickly.  The new multi-CD set from ‘Decloaking and Living Authentically‘ is almost done.  Ray Landry will be arriving on Monday to spend time with me in a recorded conversation about depression… particularly in men.  I leave on the 20th for Nova Scotia, to spend four-days in one of the most potent conversations – an Emerging Futures conversation – for Entrepreneurial Women.  Not just ‘entrepreneurial’ as a reference to independent business women, but ‘entrepreneurial’ as a state of mind that precedes a state of being… a way of finding that place to stand to forge new ground and open gateways to more powerful ways to manifest.  I LOVE this conversation!  

I then spend a full day in Halifax, connecting with people who are hungry for an alternative to the status quo!  The new one-day ‘A Day of Discovery’ is another ‘Emerging Futures’ experience; and one that begins to introduce the notion of an Emerging Future as a way of being… a way of living… as opposed to an event in time.  I’m excited about this one, wondering:  just how far can we go in such a short period of time? 

Through November and December, the five-days of ‘Engaging‘ loom as, potentially, my last in the program room for this event; followed by a return to NS for a magical week at Oceanstone for the Whispers from Within Women’s Writing Retreat.  Such amazing conversations with such amazing women – all of them hungry for a more powerful way of being and ready to do what it takes to get there.  I am indeed, in the greatest of company! 

Wow… I just re-read that.  Every now and then I find myself stopping… and pausing to marvel at my own life.  When I think back to who I was oh-so-long-ago, I would never have even dreamed of this life, yet alone been able to define or plan for it.  It has unfolded, one breath to the next, so that now I can look back and be filled with such a huge sense of my own potential!  Imagine… if I could create that without having any idea of what Emerging Futures way of life could be, what else now becomes possible? 

I know that 2009 will be a year of an accelerated vibration of presence through voice.  I know that the vibration of what I have discovered will touch the minds and souls of hundreds of thousands – not because I say so, but because they do.  I know that 2009 will not look like anything that has come before it and will nonetheless, have something familiar about it that will call me forward, particularly in those moments when I have no idea of where forward is!  

One thing I have learned from the truth of my own experience:  trusting that the stars of my own inner truth are what will take me to where I need to go is not just a catchy phrase.  It is the way I live my life – and I know that I am indeed, in good hands.  

And through it all, breathing is good…..

From depression/despair to delight!

I had an amazing experience, recently.  A very dear friend wrote me in a state of despair.  In a moment of engaging, I shared some thoughts with him – and his world changed.  Imagine!  Such profound shifts from such little effort!  Can it really be that effortless?  In a matter of days, he started a new life and is now LIVING!  If that’s not magic, I don’t know what is….

I believe in that kind of magic for us all!   I share those same thoughts with all of you in the event that something awakens.  Perhaps it will be the invitation that you consider, for yourself.  

Enjoy!  

As much as it is not what we spent decades of our lives being taught, we know from science today that the physical human body is a device – a brilliant, quantum biological device – but a device nonetheless. What I call ‘I” is not the physical body… it’s the animating force… the energetic presence… the expression of ’self’… that makes the physical body unique. When I say ‘I’, I’m not speaking about my physical body… I’m talking about the unique essence or vibration that I AM in the world… just like the “I AM’ that is Phil is not the body you’re in… it’s the energy that you are.

If you think about your tv set, channel 10 is not the box and screen that the images come in on, it’s the information/energy that flows into the box/screen and then displays itself as the pictures and sounds on your tv screen. Your body is the box/screen…. and the “I” that you are is the flow of the information/energy that displays through the box/screen, that other people see/hear as ‘Phil’.

Does that make any sense to you?

So, when the box/screen is running ‘movies’ (the thoughts you think or the sensations you feel), ‘you’ are the essence that can observe it all. You’re the unique signal of ’self’… of ‘Phil’… that flows through the box/screen without being any of the thoughts/sounds/images that the box/screen is displaying.

So, what that means is that the next time your body (box/screen) is expressing thoughts/feelings (energy/information), remember that you are not your body….you’re the signal.

Where it gets tricky is that in addition to the unique signal from Self that you are, your body is also flowing competing channels! So, in addition to the signal from Self that flows through (and that’s really who/what you are), there are also Signal NO. 2 (Androgynous Baby stuff) and Signal No. 3 (learned/acquired experience… what NLP would call anchors, parts, strategies, beliefs/values/attitudes, etc.) that are in flow. So, the picture on the screen can get pretty messy… with information from three different channels competing for the same screen space!

What you have to remember is that who you are is the animating presence… the unique energetic expression in the universe… and that the other two signals are designed to be ‘digested’ by the body, metabolized and used to transform who we are in the physical world.

I think if you read Part III of the big NLP article I wrote, it might help you make sense of it. You can find it under Free Articles, called ‘NLP: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow’.

Here’s the bottom line: you and I are Quantum Biological Humans… with the body as a quantum biological processor that is moving information/energy through physical matter to express in a physical world. The new and emerging species is the Quantum Biological Human.. the one who recognizes and claims the Signal that they are expressing through and in a physical world. The signal that you are and I am… the truth of who you and I are… is that each of us IS the godforce in expression in a physical world.

We are the god we seek. We just haven’t noticed yet.

Imagine if you work up tomorrow and you knew… in every cell of your being… that you ARE the godforce expressing in a physical world. In that moment, you realize that YOU create it all! YOU are all of it! In that breath, you have to ask yourself: how does the godforce choose to live today?

Breathing is good…..
