This is Part VI of a ten part blog. Part I begins on 10/15/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous parts.

So, I would like to now share with you why I teach these classes.

In this lifetime, the parenting that I received was such that neither of my parents had the experience of Love or of the Embrace so they were, therefore, incapable of sharing that with me. So as a child, what I basically heard, actually, all I ever heard, was what was wrong with me and what I was not doing right. Even on her deathbed, my mom could not say anything nice to me. That simply was just not possible for her; so bless her, bless her for that!

She wanted to be able to do so, but she couldn’t for whatever reasons; it does not really matter. And it was my choice to be with her and it was a gift. And my dad was not there either, sweet dear soul that he was, because he could not handle her so he was gone emotionally. And I did not have siblings.

And so the profound gift of all this was…and also given the way I was raised, they did not let me go out of their sight much; God forbid I would do something other than what they wanted me to do… I had a very rich interior life. I had no other choice. Either that or go crazy. Which some of you may think is the case. [Laughter.]

The richness of my interior life extended, as well, into my dream life. It is still a problem for me nowadays because I go to sleep and I am so active; it is ridiculous. There is so much going on; I often say to myself, “Give me a break already. Let me just go comatose for a while. Give me a drug. Give me anything.” FYI, I don’t take drugs, never have. But…it is a very active interior life that I have.

So through all this upbringing I was left with really poor self esteem and no real direction or purpose in my life. So, from a very young age I was desperately looking for meaning. My story, I realize, may parallel many of your stories, too. So, please understand that I am not claiming my story to be unique, nor in any way am I asking for sympathy. Nor, other than for teaching purposes, do I identify with it any more.

This is Part V of a ten part blog. Part I begins on 10/15/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous parts.

Caroline Myss writes in one of her books that during the time of Jesus, the band of light that humans could see was much narrower or smaller than we now see. They could not really see purple or indigo very well. They were not color blind, but they could not see the difference between purple and blue which now we easily see. So, if you can allow what I’ve just said to kind of settle in, it might give you a sense for what you are looking for as you begin to work with your intuitive sight.

Remember, you don’t “see” things with your eyes when you are doing intuitive work. Instead you just “feel”---it is a gut thing---this is just another way of saying you are using your 6th sense.

Where I want to go with all that I have just said is not anywhere near what I actually sat down and prepared to say today. I have learned, especially after doing so many intuitive development classes, not to get caught up in making sure I cover what I prepared for. I have also learned to transfer this same way of flowing with things that I am doing now in this class into most parts of my life, too.

My ego will script how it wants something to turn out and what it scripts is very limited compared to what my Soul is likely to have in mind for me. Also, if I tune in at the Soul level, I will sense and see a situation very differently from how my ego would see it.

So I have learned to let things flow instead of always trying to script them in my life; and I have learned to see them with the eyes and heart of my Soul and not from the myopia or narrow-mindedness of my ego. I choose to feel first and think later.

I have learned to see with my “first eye” and not my physical eyes. Why is it that we call intuitive sight the “third eye”? It really is the “first eye!” It is the first resource we want to use, if we really want to know something or someone.

This is Part IV of a ten part blog. Part I begins on 10/15/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous parts.

Also, because of all the left brain training we have had in our culture, intuitive knowing is considered flakey or irrelevant. But it certainly is not! What I hope to help you to understand through this course is how to feel, sense, and “see” a whole new world that is right there before you.

To do so you must learn how to shift out of the rational, cognitive state and into an intuitive, feeling state. You do this by shifting into a meditative state and then you learn how to trust the impressions you are receiving as much as, if not even more than, the physical ones you receive.

The cognitive state is a very narrow band of reality. Very little information comes thru that state. The greater part of reality comes through to you by your picking up on vibrations, in other words, by feeling. As Carl Jung said, “most of Reality is not thinking.”

Also, “we are vibratory beings” and must understand the implications of that phrase. We can live, be or travel into any level, dimension, time, or space. All we have to do is change our vibration. We can time travel into the future or the past. We can, just by changing our vibration, go anywhere we want to go in the universe. What????????? You say!

You don’t have to believe what I have just said or understand it. You don’t even have to remember what I just said. But the fact is that all you have to do is to clearly and intentionally focus your vibration and you are “there;” and “there” can be any “where;” and you can be “there” as any “thing” and you can also be there in any “time! “

We live in such a narrow band of reality, for example, our ability to see. We see within the infra red and the ultra violet bands of light. It is within this band of vibrations that we are able to see visually with the naked eye. Yet there are an infinite number of bands of reality that exist beneath the infrared and beyond the ultraviolet.

These are the bands that the animals pick up on and are guided by. This is how earthquakes and other natural phenomena are sensed before they physically occur. The vibrations are picked up on. The point is the bands go infinitely below infrared and infinitely above ultra violet. And guess what? You are capable of tuning into any one of those bands and “seeing.” But you have been so myopically trained, so narrowly trained, to see only in this infrared to ultraviolet band that you may not be able to even imagine what I am talking about.

This is Part III of a ten part blog. Part I begins on 10/15/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous parts.

So the purpose of these classes is to help you go there, i.e., within. For it is there where your intuitive abilities reside. We are all energy beings, yes! You included! You are energy in motion, even though at times it might feel like you are moving very slowly. [Laughter]

Everything is energy. All that we ever do is interpret energy, receive energy, and “pick up” on energy. What we are not doing is hearing, seeing, touching, tasting, feeling or smelling. No, we are not!

We are vibrations of energy who pick up on other vibrations of energy. One of the problems with “reading” or seeing or sensing energies is that the human race for many millennia has been focused on the visual as the primary apparatus for sensing vibration. Over half of our brain is dedicated to this visual faculty simply because we have trained it that way; it has become our habitual way of interpreting/receiving vibration.

But, for instance, with regard to our cats, their whole thing is sniffing. You give them something, they sniff it. They cannot see color like we do. Their vision is more black and white than ours. That is actually why they can be more nocturnal. Their first way of receiving vibration is to smell it. As well, they have a greater hearing acuity than we do. They can hear a broader range of sound than we can. We consider them to be more primitive because they use a more primitive part of the brain, i.e., smelling. From my point of view, they are not more primitive, they simply have developed smelling as their primary way of sensing vibration.

Where so many people get tripped up with regard to developing their intuitive abilities is that they feel they cannot “see.” They assume that to be intuitive means that you “see” subtle energies as you would see them in the physical world. They believe that it should all be in Technicolor, that it should be as clear as day, like St. Paul on the road to Damascus when he encountered the resurrected Jesus.

But this is not the way most people “see.” Actually, all you are doing is “feeling” and not seeing. All you are doing is interpreting vibrations. You get caught up in expecting to “see” and then you miss what you are feeling or sensing and dismiss it all. Then you say you can’t do it or don’t get it, when, in fact, you are getting it. But you have been trained to believe that “seeing” is the only way to receive intuitive impressions.

This is Part II of a ten part blog. Part I begins on 10/15/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous part.

Please know that we are all God Selves. We are all God in finite form. We are here to have the experience of being God in a finite form. Somehow, though, we have forgotten this simple fact. So, we give our authority away to others, be it to mentors, masters, guides, angels, teachers, teachings, relationships, corporations, causes, and all kinds of other things, and we then never find our own “God”ness for ourselves.

So, the purpose of these classes is to help you learn how to get in touch with that God/Goddess Self within and to be present with that Self and from that Presence be present for yourself and others. Otherwise you can not be present. Otherwise you are lost in your ego, lost in your illusions, lost in your fears, lost in your masks and in your veils, lost in your present personality and all of its limiting beliefs and fears.

Therefore, you are lost in who you think you are not who you really are. Who you think you are, is simply not who you are. If you want to look at it in a broader perspective, you have lived many, many, many lifetimes. How could you identify solely with this lifetime; this gender; this race; this culture you are in? It is ludicrous when you think about it because you are none of those identities at essence.

Be that as it may, go ahead and be a happy Dane [of Danish ancestry]. [Here I am talking to a student in the class of Danish ancestry.] Enjoy that experience. Get into your birth culture and really enjoy it.

I am not saying to forget that you have these roots in this lifetime. But when you think about this topic more deeply, you realize that your roots are the same as everyone else’s and that you are the same as everyone else. That is, you are a Divine being in human form taking on a finite experience for who knows what reason(s). But if you go within and honestly and lovingly look at yourself, you will find out what those reasons are and you will then know who you are and why you are.

Thus, whatever you are experiencing presently in your life is no longer seen as a problem. What you are experiencing no longer becomes your identity. You can go much deeper into knowing who you really are and into integrating, understanding and embracing your present experiences, both the “good” and the “bad.”

This is Part I of a ten part blog.

We are all blessed with the gift of intuitive “in” sight or intuitive knowing. It is simply not the case that some of us have the “gene” for intuition and others do not. We all have the “genius” of intuition imbedded in us.

It’s just a matter of learning how to listen to that voice within. It is a matter of learning the “language” of intuition, that is, the language of the heart. For some people this “language” of intuition is a foreign tongue, one which they were not raised knowing. For others, they picked it up somewhere along the line and it all comes easy for them. But just as with any foreign language, you can learn it and you can become quite proficient in communicating with it. Actually, in time, it becomes totally natural and easy.

In this mini-blog course I will lead you on an adventure into the world of the intuitive muse. You will learn how to listen to the oracle within you.

It is fun and it is easy, easier than learning a foreign language actually. As well, I will help you to understand and experience the profound love that is the “ground” from which intuition arises. So, let us begin.

What follows below is the partial transcript of a live class in which I was first talking about the phenomenon of channeling and then I went on to discuss what intuitive development really is all about.

“There is a phenomenon called channeling that is quite misunderstood. Channeling is not about channeling this particular being or that one; it is simply a process of being in touch with your own God or Higher Self and letting that flow through you.

We all have guides, mentors, masters, angels, etc. that support us. Their purpose is to help us to make a deep, lasting connection to our Higher Selves directly and on our own. While we are still learning to make this connection, they help to transduce the higher energies and bring them into a vibratory level that we can receive and integrate. But ultimately we are meant to channel our own God Self.

This is Part XII of a twelve part blog. Part I begins on 09/03/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous parts.

This whole process that I am describing to you is astounding in what it reveals to you about your “story.” As you begin to unravel your “story,” as you “inquire into” and “examine” what you believe and who you think you are, you will be amazed at what you uncover and recover.

As you do this process, you will no doubt, at some point, be hoodwinked into believing you have it all together, too. Don’t buy into that one either. We are all “works in progress” and we will never get it done! It is just an ongoing process of discovery and recovery and ascent into higher and higher levels of Self-Mastery and selfless-Love.

Where I would like to leave you now is to suggest to you that It, that is, Life, is all about learning how to love unconditionally, everyone and everything you experience. Actually, L I F E is an acronym for Love It For Ever!

Life is learning how to love, accept, embrace and appreciate all that we experience, no matter how it may seem.

Nothing is at it appears to be. What we think we are seeing is often just us “looking darkly” through the distorted lenses of our limiting beliefs.

We were made from Love and out of Love and we are being given the opportunity to “own” and embody the essence of who we are. By having all the experiences we have, both the “good” and the “bad,” we are given the opportunity to love it all. As we do, we come to appreciate and embody the heart and Love of God/Goddess. We then become like God/Goddess and see it all through the eyes and heart of Love.

As Saint Paul wrote: So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Go for it! You have nothing to lose and your Kingdom to gain! This is what the purpose and meaning of your Life is all about!

Don’t take my word for it, though! Only take yours!

Peace be with you!

This is Part XI of a twelve part blog. Part I begins on 09/03/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous parts.

From my point of view, as I wrote above, it all comes down to what Albert Einstein once wrote. Namely, that the most important question you can ask yourself is: “Is this a friendly Universe or not?”

Everything in your life is predicated on your core beliefs about the nature of this Universe and of Life itself. What kind of Universe do you believe you live in? What kind of Creator put this all together? Or, is there even a Creator? Is it all random? Is there meaning and purpose to it all?

Whatever you believe, you experience!

Whatever you are looking for, you get!

Whatever you ask for, you receive!

Whatever you are looking at, you see!

Whatever you believe, whether it is conscious or not, the Universe still is always responding in kind. “‘Like’ does in fact attract ‘like’.”
