Things that go BUMP in the night (or day)

Do you remember the first time you spent the night alone? Perhaps it was in a big home or maybe an apartment. Were you scared? I think everyone has an unsettling feeling when they know they are alone. Suddenly, it’s as if you can hear every creak and groan of the home settling and the wind sounds a bit more… Continue

Knowing HOW you created what you have today... is the only way to know HOW- to create something different tomorrow!

Someone said that time heals all wounds. I simply disagree. It isn’t time that heals-- it’s SURRENDER. It is one’s ability to finally surrender that THINGS ARE AS THEY ARE MEANT TO BE and that isn’t only ok…it’s good and perfect. That can take 5 minutes or it can take 100 years depending on the extent of the ego attachment to how things ‘should’ have (but didn’t) turn out!

The power of surrendering into trust is the single most important step to… Continue

NOTICE: THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY SEEM!

It’s time to WAKE UP and take note: things are NOT as they seem. What seems like an ENDING is just the BEGINNING.

‘For those who have EYES to SEE (clairvoyance) EARS to HEAR (clairaudience) and HEARTS that UNDERSTAND (clairsentience) let them understand!”

What seems brand new really is your just re-remembering what you’ve always known. A new and exciting path may really be just a dead end while something precious that you thought… Continue

Book Promotion on a Budget and “no shows”

Today on my book radio show "A BOOK AND A CHAT" my guest did not show. While I'm sure there must be a good reason, I was not as prepared as perhaps I should have been as I did receive confirmation from my guests agent.

So what do you do?

After a brief outline of the guest and her book, hoping that she would… Continue

What is REAL and AUTHENTIC & what isn’t? How to KNOW the difference for yourself!

DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING I TELL YOU!

We have been told for thousands of years, by those with power and authority, WHAT to believe…. but NEVER told HOW to know these things for ourselves:

1. What is REAL and AUTHENTIC and what isn’t.

2. How to know what is TRUE for YOU and what is in your best and highest good and what isn’t.

3. MOTIVE ALWAYS DETERMINES THE OUTCOME! What yours and others subconscious motives are at any given… Continue

CONSCIOUS = LIGHT = TRUTH = LOVE; WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?

To increase in consciousness is to uncover the Secret missing ingredient to Alchemy (NOTE: To increase in intelligence does not= increased consciousness.) However to increase in consciousness is to dramatically increase in wisdom. Wisdom= consciousness+ intelligence.

You WANTED.... EXACTLY, what it IS... you are NOW GETTING! We ALWAYS get what we REALLY want!

And until we are fully CONSCIOUS and honestly accountable about this (which will bring us great freedom) we will continue to be victims of our ego's subconscious control rather than moving into the light of higher conscious creativity!

Since subconscious fear has greater power than conscious desire (no matter how many positive affirmations you say or how much you consciously force your focus to something positive) If the subconscious is… Continue

Some FALL, Others FLY! ……but ALL get PUSHED over the EDGE of their FEARS!

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

Embracing the truths taught in the AlchemEnergy Codex Course... is not an option for anyone. In choosing life (and we certainly did) we chose to get pushed over the edge to face our Fears HEAD ON. And we KNEW (and our spirits still know) that this choice is the greatest blessing, opportunity and challenge we would ever face! It was the path of the VIP!… Continue

HOW COMFORTABLE ARE YOU…. REALLY (deep in the subconscious)….WITH LIVING YOUR DREAMS?

HOW ARE YOU SABOTAGING YOUR DEEPEST URGINGS, HIGHEST PURPOSE AND GREATEST DESIRED LONGINGS? You MUST understand THE SCIENCE OF DESIRE! The science of desire states that for every desire you have, you also have an equal and opposing subconscious fear which blocks the desire!

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,… Continue

Happy Holidays are over!

Yes, they are, and as much as I have enjoyed them, I'm glad of it. I had wonderful visits with my children and my friends, but now it's time to get back to business. I'm waiting for the funds to get my first book edited, and in the meantime I'm getting back to my second book.

My good friend, Brian Porter, wrote me about the movie deal he has made on A Study In Red, and I'm so very proud for him. He is a great writer and deserves the best. He's a great inspiration for all of us.… Continue
