The Possible Dream


You create in the unified field. Whatever you have in your life, you have participated in creating. That can either be good news or bad, depending on how content you are with what you find around you.

You can know from the science of quantum physics that your thoughts are in fact things, and that they are the energy of creation. What you think about and put your energy toward is what you are consistently creating in your life.

So what is your dream? What would fill your life with delight if you cleared your intention to manifest it in your life?

This is not an idle question, unless you put your focus, your intention on what you truly want, it reduces the probability that it will show up. Think about the people you know, or know about, that have achieved their dreams, no matter how long it may have taken.

One of my favorite stories is the story of a woman with a brilliant voice who always wanted to sing. She was deprived of oxygen during birth and was diagnosed with learning difficulties. She was a quiet, plain child, ridiculed by the other children in school. She lived very simply as an adult, taking care of her aging mother and never marrying, or even dating. A woman with a gifted voice, who for most of her 50 years sang only in the choir. She finally made a few demos, expanding her love of music, and even entered and won several local singing competitions.

When an opportunity to audition for a large national talent program appeared, she almost decided to pass it up, telling herself that people are always judged on how they look, not on who they are, or even how strong their talent is. The most critical thing is, she held on to her dream even though in other auditions she had been mocked for her appearance and dismissed as too old, to odd, and too unattractive.

When she walked on stage for this particular audition, in front of millions of tv viewers and a panel of people who rolled their eyes and expected the worse, she stepped into the fulfillment of her dream. She knew that for her, the unified field had shifted to accommodate the dream she had been holding all her life. That moment in time changed not only the life of Susan Boyle, as she sang the song I Dreamed a Dream with amazing passion and beauty, it also changed the life of many girls, women, and even men who thought they could continue to tell themselves that their dreams could not come true.

Susan Boyle demonstrated to the world that your Dream can be fulfilled in your life when you believe in it, and believe in yourself, even if no one else does! Her unwavering belief in herself deep inside, was the difference between Susan Boyle prior to her appearance in 2009 on Britain’s Got Talent, and her life after that amazing appearance.

Susan put all of her energy toward the outcome she desired, she clarified what she wanted in her life, and she made every step move her toward the outcome of that dream, she took the action steps necessary to be the Susan Boyle she wanted to be.

What is your dream? Have you clarified what you want? Have you clarified what you want to be and do in your life? And are you willing to take the steps toward that outcome?

Faith in yourself is a matter of action, it is not a passive behavior, it means keeping all of your steps moving toward your goals. There may be setbacks, there may be what appear to be gaps – but things are always moving into your goal as long as you keep your goal clearly in mind.

What stops you from seeing the outcome or appearance of your dream immediately? It is important to know that it always exists for you. Your dream is just waiting for you to allow yourself to receive it. Does that sound unreal – or not real? What is the difference between those who see their results right away and those who see them show up much later in life, or not at all? The difference is the unconscious focus of intention.

You often hear that all you need to do is to simply state what you want to yourself, or say your amazing One Command, and what you want is already there for you. It is there for you but you may be overlaying it with your focus on what you don’t want instead.

If you dream of, or ask for, or better yet One Command for, a particular thing, then it is there. And if you then immediately start thinking of its opposite and putting intensity and energy into what you don’t want, your subconscious does not know the difference between good or bad, want and don’t want – it simply creates what you are putting your attention on. If you keep saying, I hope I don’t trip, your unconscious hears, I hope I trip, and often you do. What if you put your focus on, I walk with ease and grace, you probably will!

Could Susan Boyle have found her success earlier in her life? Very likely…were there things that took precedence…apparently there were. We get distracted from our dreams by other things in our lives and often do not recognize, or even believe, that we can have it all.

Think about your own life, are there things you let go of? Are there opportunities you ignored or didn’t see until they were already gone? It’s ok, you are here now, present in your own life. Now is the time to go for clarity and keep your focus on what you want, what is meaningful in your life, what is your dream.

Go to youtube – watch any Susan Boyle video, watch the response of the audience when she walks out – watch her spunk as she knows she is now in the right place at the right time, and watch the amazement of the judges and the audience as she starts to sing.

This is your time, your Susan Boyle moment, what has been in your heart to do, be and have?

Be here now, live Your Dream, trust your creative ability in the unified field.

Blessings, Katie

Take back your power and release your pain

"One must sacrifice the belief that there is any power or endurance in evil apart from the power we ourselves give it by believing in it."  Emmet Fox

As I read that statement this morning I realized the power inherent in his words.
"...apart from the power that we ourselves give it by believing in it."  That means that YOU have the power to change, to shift, to transform in every area of your life by making a conscious choice to believe something different.

Here I speak not of evil, but of your story about your pain, struggle and old wounds.  Your pain story can hold no more power or endurance in your life except from the power you give it to control your thoughts, emotions and health.  Your pain, struggle and wounds can only exist because you keep them alive with your thoughts, your words and your actions.  Remove your attention from them and they lose their sting. 

As a child I was terrified of the boogeyman living in my closet and would lay there for what seemed like hours unable to sleep, keeping watch to make sure he wouldn't jump out at me in the dark.  That belief held great power over me until one night, tired of being scared, I jumped out of bed, threw open the closet door and found.......nothing.  Nothing...absolutely no boogeyman, no shadow, nothing to feed the fear but my own belief.  Once I stopped believing in the power of this scary monster, there was no power to fear.

So what must you be willing to let go of in order to take the power back into your own hands?  What would you need to be, do or have so that you can let go of your pain story and write a new story about your life?

What people, places, situations and events would fill your new story?  How would you live your life, what would you talk to your friends about and how would you see yourself if you had a new story to tell--a story filled with love, joy, love, laughter, peace and prosperity?

Who would you be?

Katie and I would love to here your comments!

Be The Change

All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth. Man did not weave the wave of life, he is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. Chief Seattle

Our world, our existence is intrinsically intertwined. We are inseparable, all parts of one great whole that is the unified field. The very energies of compassion that bring us together in difficulty and tragedy exist always and we are expanding those energies to more of our daily lives, to more of our first thoughts when in relationship with others.

It is this current shift in sensibility that is bringing us into the fold of our evolution, our bond and our expansion into cooperation and compassion. Our lives are shifting consciously and unconsciously at higher and higher frequencies as we move toward our new normal.

It would seem that any change historically has often found increases in energy fields in two directions, a pulling apart and polarization. There often seems to be more of what was as more of what is to be builds its energy base.

Have you been experiencing a feeling of being out of balance? Have you been feeling a little 'spacy'? Have you had a sense of things being off kilter, not normal, as if the earth were shifting under your feet?

We know from our science that we are all a part of a unified field of energy, a unified field of all that is, was, and will be. And since quantum physics tells us that there is no time, except as we create it in our minds, then the unified field is simply all that is, and that includes each of us and who we believe we are.

Who do you believe you are? Who do you want to be? How do you want to be in the world? What do you want to have? How do you want to be your better you?

Ask yourself better questions and you will create that better you. The parts of you that no longer serve you have a higher probability of falling away and being replaced by what you want instead, when you know what those things that you want are.

All things are connected, look at what you want as a model of what you want, and then become that. Put your energy toward clarity for yourself and who you are at your core level, at your spiritual DNA level.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi

Love and blessings, Katie

Thoughts on Inner Money Peace

Quotes from Alan Cohen:

If you have a good wealth mentality, you will generate wealth wherever you go.

Even if you lose money temporarily, your wealth mentality will attract it again....

A perfect demonstration of mind into matter.

Money is important, but wealth mentality is essential.

When I change my mind, my situation changes to reflect it.

It's hard to defeat an enemy that has an outpost in your head.

Your thoughts are the strongest currency at your disposal.

Creating a New Experience

If it’s true what quantum science says—that nothing exists in our material world until we focus on it, that everything is a wave until we observe it, then that must mean it is also true that there is no poverty, no wealth, no illness, no health, even no love or hate until we make it manifest by attention to our thoughts and beliefs. 

Those thoughts and beliefs, whether they be about your abundance or your lack, your ease or your struggles, your wellness or your illness, create the reality that you experience.  Your thoughts and beliefs influence your decisions.  Your decisions determine your behaviors and your behaviors reflect back to you what you experience as ‘real.’  Make sense?

So if all of this is true, then it is possible for you to create whatever you want by focusing on it with your thoughts.  When your thoughts and beliefs are in alignment with abundance that makes abundance possible in your life.  Same is true for thoughts of health, great relationships, achieving desired goals—anything that you can allow yourself to imagine.

Whatever you believe to be true is what shows up for you.  If I believe that life is a struggle, and that was certainly a belief I held for decades, then struggle you will experience.  If you believe that you can achieve any goal you desire, then that becomes your reality. 

When you can accept that whatever you have or don’t have in your life you consciously or unconsciously created it, then you can say “OK.  I created this.  Now I can create a different experience.”  Close your eyes and say that to yourself—and feel that sense of empowerment that comes from accepting what is and choosing to create something new.

In my life, I have believed that in order to see my own magnificence, my own kindness and my own sense of self I must have one person in my life that it is opposition to me.  Being in opposition to someone or something shows me who I am not.  By casting them as my shadow side, I see the reflection of who I most want to be—kind, compassionate, loving, wealthy and healthy.

In doing this, I freeze that person or that situation into a pattern of behavior that imprisons us both.  They can only show up for me in that opposing way because that is the only way I allow myself to experience them.

In a situation of struggle and lack I will only allow myself to experience the struggle and lack because it matches precisely what I unconsciously believe to be true and all other possibilities are deleted from my awareness.  Nothing gets past the ‘gatekeeper’ (conscious mind) that doesn’t match the unconscious programming.

I create what I experience in the world by my beliefs and thoughts.  And that’s the good news!    Because NOW I can create something different.

What story of your life are you feeding?

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.  "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

This is one of my favorite stories.  Within this short story lies great wisdom, truth and power--power to make new choices and walk in new directions.

Over the past several weeks I’ve been paying close attention to the stories people are telling me about their lives. It’s amazing the information you receive when you really listen—listen to when someone is talking and to what someone is writing.  If you truly want to understand another person, then keep your mouth closed and your ears wide open--really listen to what they are saying—and not saying.

We all have our stories—we have our pain story and our joy story.  There isn’t a person walking this earth now that does not have both.  You have yours and I have mine.

Our story becomes our reality if we tell it often enough.  Regardless of the story we are telling, we continually re-create it just by focusing on it.  We breathe life into our story with the words we use, the thoughts we think and the emotions we hold about that story.

And the truth is—our story, whether the pain one or the joy one, is all made up.  There is nothing real about our story except for the meaning we attach to it and the attachment we make to the results we get when we hold our story as truth.

There is pain out there in the world and we do get wounded in life.  This is a fact of our experience here on earth school.  Some of us have deeper, more painful wounds than others.  I’m not talking about the wounds themselves. I am talking about the stories that we create around our painful experiences that keep us imprisoned in that pain.  Why is it that most of us lead with our pain instead of our joy? 

Even in casual conversation or in declining an invitation, many of us lead with the pain story about why we have to say no, can’t be there, can’t do that. Your pain story is everything that comes after the infamous ‘but.’  “I’d love to be there, but...”  “I’d do it for you, but…”  “I was going to change that, but…”
Then you justify why you cannot or have not yet done something by telling your story of pain.

We all do it.  I did it--for years.  It was my survival strategy as a child.  I learned early on that if I was weak, sick or scared not much was expected of me.  Always I would begin with 'I would if I could, but..." and then go on to blame my health, my family or my weak character as a way of keeping expectations of me low.  I led with my pain story.

What we are discussing here is not about what is right or wrong.  It is just what is.  So, if you find that you are always leading with your pain, how do you turn it around?

You start by being honest with yourself.  Tell yourself the truth about which 'wolf' you are feeding and what benefits you receive from that choice.
It may be that in some areas of your life you feed the wolf of love and in other situations the wolf of fear.  That is human nature-and we are after all human as well as divine. 

To know the truth ask yourself these 2 questions?

What wolf am I feeding in this situation?
Do I tend to lead with my pain or my joy?

And the most important question you will ever ask yourself--and it is the question that will lead you to new choices and a new way of being in the world is:

"What do I want instead of what I have?"

Armed with this knowledge you are now empowered to create changes in your life.

We witness your mastery,

Bonnie

Know Thyself - Know Your Spiritual DNA

Our most recent discussions on the One Command Yahoo group have been truly deep and self-revealing, the willingness of the members to open their life experiences to others and share their recognition of how much self-awareness enhances their ability to change your lives for the better has been a blessing.

Many times people ask what to Command for...and the best answer will always be, What do you want instead (of what you have). To help that along, it can be very useful to find out what programs you have been running that have gotten in your way.

We know from quantum physics and psychology that biochemically, biologically and energetically, we take in information that is transmitted as chemicals throughout our body and then creates or changes our DNA. We come in with ancestral programs, we take on cultural and family programs and we have inherent behavioral DNA programs - all information that shapes how we think, perceive the world, and behave.

And beneath all of that is our Spiritual blueprint, the programs that we universally share that come from Source. These are the programs that hold our integrity, our compassion, our sense of fairness, our love - and nowhere in that blueprint will you find fear.

Fear is incorporated in your core behaviors, like the flight/fight responses, and in your learned behaviors like family beliefs and cultural beliefs, and in your personal set of perceptual behaviors that shape how you interpret the world and how you react in response to those perceptions.

The very best part is that as you dig into what is going on in your life, from your dreams to your beliefs to your daydreams, and as you allow yourself to be aware of all the ways you have viewed the world and how and why you make the choices you have made, you have even more freedom and more information about What you want instead.

All of your stories of self-discovery are you gifts to yourself, your gifts of self-recognition, your gifts of self-revelation - and at that point - you get to make more and more and more decisions and choices to use your inherent courage to behave from Source, from your Spiritual DNA blueprint - the you that is in complete alignment with Greater Capacity.

Congratulations to all of you and to all of us - self-knowledge is FREEDOM!
