You And What Is Possible For You

December 27,2011

 

As we close in on another year it is the time for reflection and projection. We reflect on what happened this year along our journey and then imagine and project what we desire to accomplish and experience in the year ahead.

Every year January 1st becomes the pinnacle day for setting intentions and goals, Goals that unfortunately very rarely become reality. So, maybe today is the day to ask yourself, “How many of these resolutions do I actually follow through on?” “How many of these targets do I actually get up everyday of the New Year determined to make real?” “How many more years do I want to go on wishing and hoping to make these dreams a reality?”

WARNING: DO NOT READ ON IF YOU WANT THIS YEAR TO BE THE SAME.

Here is the raw truth. You will only follow through on creating that which you truly desire, combined with what you truly take daily action towards, combined with what you truly believe possible for you.  Miss any one of the three above and whatever you intend cannot and will not happen.

You cannot create what you have no desire for, you cannot create what you do not work for and you cannot create what you do not believe in. Most have desires and dreams, fewer yet actually work to create these dreams, and even a smaller percentage actually believe what they dream for themselves is possible.  The magic formula is to have all three. With this combination the universe cannot and then will not deny you but rather it will serve you and your creative imagination.

Of the three ingredients above the one that seem to be the most powerful is the one where you believe what you desire is possible. Seems easy enough right? Wrong. Your reality does not lie. This is where your true personal limitation is exposed. This is where the story you have been carrying about your life is revealed for the way it has kept you form going further in life. Whether it is in losing weight, experiencing financial abundance, finding a soul mate, establishing a career you find fulfilling, or desiring world peace.  All the desire and work at it in the world won’t lead to it happening unless you can believe it as a possibility for you at some level of your being.

This brings us to the truth beyond all truths. But, first let’s start with the lie. The lie is that you are limited in what you can create for yourself, or that you are limited in what you deserve, or that you are limited in what you are worth. None of this is true.  In this moment as in every other moment of your life, only one truth is real. And that is the truth that what is possible for you is anything. This is the truth that ends all the hesitation, dissolves all the excuses and exposes all the lies. This is the path that leads you to your most powerful energy of expression and creative manifestations.

“No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities – always see them, for they are always there.”

— Norman Vincent Peale

May you have the most beautiful and fulfilling year of your life in 2012 and beyond.

Personal Freedom – The Message of Social Uprising

November 08,2011

 

Whether we see uprisings in countries that have dictators or corrupt and brutal governments, or whether we see the occupy movements taking place in the U.S., the message is ultimately the same. Humans fear any growing power that indicates a manipulation or an attempted control of personal freedoms.

Personal creative expression is at the heartbeat of all of life. This is the perfection of the never-ending unfolding of creation in all of its forms. This creative energy when restrained will fight vigorously for its life in the effort to make sure that any threat is aware of what will not be tolerated. It is exactly why people will camp for months through rain or sleet or snow down on Wall Street. This is not a group looking for hand-outs or giveaways but rather a group that feels that who they are on their journey and struggle to survive in a capitalistic society has been marginalized and dismissed by minds or groups of people that can only see the color green, and we are not talking about environmentalists here.

This movement like all the movements taking place around the globe is really about a much bigger line that has been drawn in the sand regarding the difference between a “we” mentality and an “I” mentality. “We” does not mean socialism but rather a more balanced respect and approach towards all people of a given society. “We” believes that it is important to see that we are all on this journey together. “I” mentality or the “every man for himself” mindset that is often an unfortunate byproduct of capitalism, is narcissistic and lacks a fundamental regard for life that can seem “soulless” in its choices and actions that ultimately negatively affect millions of people.

Like all movements in the universe, this one will eventually find its way closer to an acceptable state of balance. How long it takes and what chaos has to emerge before it happens is yet to be seen. However, a bigger message that continues to emerge, just like it has for thousands of years previous, is that the more we try and separate ourselves from our fellow man and women, plants and animals earth and stars, the more we keep getting shown that we are more connected then we could have ever imagined possible. Even more vitally important, the quality of each of our journeys through life is directly related to the awareness, respect, love and honor of this eternal truth.

Peace to all.

The Essence of Gratitude

July 25,2011


Gratitude is a word that has been used a lot lately in teachings offering the “spiritual” path to others. It is especially offered as a concept to those looking to manifest more in their lives. The standard line is something of the order of “You just need to practice being grateful for everything you do have in your life”. Now, while it is true that a shift in perspective from an ungrateful state of mind to a more grateful state of mind helps one to temporarily feel more at peace, it is also true that any concept offered without the root understanding of the concept is likely to be misunderstood, misused, and lead to eventual frustration.

Gratitude is not a practice, it is an understanding. As a practice it is forced, as an understanding it flows. Therefore, it is always the deeper nature of self-discovery and self-inquiry that leads to a deeper and more expansive self-love that results in gratitude.

This is a love that comes from the understanding that right now You are the perfection of all your past perfect choices, thoughts and actions. If you hadn’t made all those past choices you wouldn’t be on the path you’re on now coming to the amazing understanding that you are leading yourself towards each and every day. You would be delaying your evolution rather than expanding and evolving, asking questions, receiving answers and transforming into more of a peaceful, conscious creator of your life and a powerful master of your reality.

True gratitude comes from the realization that every situation in every moment, as much as it can seem against you, is always and forever FOR You. For example, in this moment, who else could these words be for? How you choose to respond, react and feel, based on what you desire to create and experience in this lifetime is your “free will”.  You are the infinite and priceless observer and creator of life, and everything you can see, feel, touch, smell and hear is here to support you in your creative effort.

When you see all persons, places and things in your daily walk as the tangible matter that gives your life its meaning and growth, your judgments will disappear and the gratitude and love you have for all of it will know no boundaries. This is the gratitude that sees all as perfection, feels itself as part of the perfection and manifests from the unlimited and unrestricted nature of this perfection. From this state of grace the great mirror that is the Universe has no choice but to respond in kind…

With endless love & gratitude,
Howard

A New & Powerful Way To Understand Your EGO

July 04,2011

For years the ego has been made to be the bad guy, the scapegoat and the source of all of our troubles and suffering on the path to a peaceful life. Many spiritual teachers from many disciplines have been passing information on to students focusing on the ego and the suffering and mayhem it is said to cause. We have heard many comments such as, “Learn to control your ego”, or “you must destroy your ego to be free”, or “become ego-less”. Maybe it is time for this understanding to evolve.

How about a new way to look at ego? A more practical way that reveals its purpose and perfection for your life and does not include resistance but rather the powerful mindset of acceptance. The ego is not a good or a bad thing, it is not against you and it is not out to cause you harm. The ego is you best friend and most loyal servant and is most powerful for you when it is understood.

The way it works is like this. You have beliefs about what is true about yourself and your world. The ego like the dedicated actor that sticks perfectly to the script, takes these beliefs and goes out into the world to confirm, validate and protect what you “think” is true but have not yet come to “know” is true. Therefore, whatever thoughts, feelings and actions you are going through at any moment, is the work of the ego trying to makes sure that what you believe to be true is confirmed in your reality.

For example, lets say someone makes a comment about you that is unbecoming. If you are not at peace with who you are this will “affect” you and your ego will need to go to work to reconcile this comment by either getting angry at them, making an off comment about them, reassuring yourself through the confirmation from others, (That’s not true about me right?) and on and on until you are not affected any longer.

In another example lets say you get let go from your job. The belief that says, “I AM a provider” is now in direct opposition with the truth for the moment. The ego will now kick into high gear to work to create a new job and quell the current disharmony between mind and reality.

There are millions of examples of ways the ego works to make sure one is living their truth, which is revealed in plenty of life’s joys and often includes much of one’s self-sabotage to make sure all is in harmony with our deepest truths.

The acronym Energy Goes Out, E-G-O is a way to look at this vital mechanism that takes mind and validates it in matter, that takes thought and manifests it in reality, that takes the sense of “I” and confirms it through the experience of “AM”.

No one is without an ego. Some people’s egos may be more obvious and working much harder than others to validate their existence, but nonetheless, everyone is graced with this vital part of our being that manages our experiences for us. Understanding this is huge step towards self mastery because instead of fighting what your ego is doing and trying to resist it, you can now become more of an observer and see that the egos actions are connected to a deeper truth you have held that may need to be reevaluated. Another major step on your ongoing journey of self-awareness and the expansion of consciousness.

Much love…

The First Step To Harnessing More Personal Power

October 05,2010

It has been said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Millions do this every day, even occasionally yours truly. Does this make us all insane? Not necessarily, unaware, scared, and tolerant of a lot of pain, but not insane. Why then the endless charade? Answer; the fear of and resistance to change. Change happens only WHEN YOU ARE FINALLY READY FOR IT. So the question to ask each day is, “Is today the day I will choose to think, act and BE someone different than I was yesterday?” At the end of each day you will know the answer.

Making the choice for a change in your life gets a lot easier when you realize that you will survive and possibly even THRIVE upon the change.  As I state in my new book, “I AM: The Power of Discovering Who You Really Are”, you cannot fool the universe. If you aren’t willing to change because of a fear that you will not be able to survive or make it through the change, you are demonstrating how limited you believe that you are. You are leaving the universe NO CHOICE but YOUR CHOICE. It must give you ONLY the experience of being limited, ONLY the experience of anxiety and fear, ONLY the experience of lack to match exactly with your belief.

For real change you must demonstrate a belief in a more unlimited and powerful self first, before the universe can grant you the experience of it. Have the hard conversation with your significant other, talk to your boss about a raise or promotion, finally be honest with yourself, get on a diet and exercise program, write your book, ask for help, send your resume out, pick up the phone and call your prospective client and then do all these things again and again and again until the conditions start to change in FAVOR of your truest desires.

There is no magic to creation. YOU and your powerful, demonstrated and continued belief is all the magic that is ever necessary. Your experience of life will change when you finally change. The world is truly and forever your oyster.
