Own Your Greatest Truth

"Don't look for God in the sky; look within your own body." — Osho

"Neither shall they say, 'Lo here! Or Lo, there!' For, behold, the kingdom of God is within!" — Luke 17:21 (KJV)

"I perceive God everywhere in His works. I sense Him in me; I see Him all around me." — Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Imagine you have been in a deep sleep for decades — think Sleeping Beauty or Rip Van Winkle. Upon awakening, details such as the name of the president, the price of gas, or the year are not as critical as your most present reality: you cannot remember how to operate your body. Your eyes need rubbing, but you can't manage it. You have forgotten how to find food and how to lift your hand to your face to calm the rumbling in your stomach. You cannot recall how to put one foot in front of the other — to walk. You feel compelled to yawn, but you can only manage weak, shallow breaths. You are stalled, immobile, as if a disease has taken command of your motor functions and you are now rendered helpless and unable to perform the basic actions you had taken for granted before you fell asleep. Your period of slumber, though extended, seems like only an instant. In the blink of an eye, which is more like the passage of a lifetime, you have lost all command. You have one choice: if you are to survive, you must surrender to the forces of nature.

Those forces will have to run the show.

This hypothetical, yet nightmarish, scenario is comparable to what we, the human race, have been living through. With the passage of time, we have abandoned all reliance on the systems we came wired with — systems intended to control responses that are even more important than motor skills, if you can imagine that. These are the systems that once held you in a state of divinity; that once supported a constant condition of powerful, positive vibration.

What if that debilitating slumber never happened? Or what if you could be reminded, daily, of ways to access and fuel those hidden systems that enable us to feel continually loved, connected, and supported? What if the tapping of these systems gave you the ability to create pictures of your perfect life in your mind, and then bring them to fulfillment, like the simplest of goals? What if you could reignite a fire within you, like the one you remember from childhood? When you believed in yourself, knew who you really were, and understood that you were unstoppable? What if you could easily grasp how these abilities can transform your earthly existence into your own personal heaven?

Those what ifs are about to become massive truths that reside just on the other side of how?

One thing you must accept before proceeding is that you are divine and that you have the power within you to change your life. Any thoughts to the contrary are nothing more than programming. Your design includes a direct line to God. It is an invisible yet always present Connection with the most infinite source of wisdom and power possible — so much so that your mind hasn't the ability to envision its breadth and depth. You are light brighter than light. You are love bigger than love. You are powerful beyond measure. You are beauty beyond words. A long time ago, you were able to grasp these truths. Then you fell asleep.

If only you could remember.

You can. You simply need to give yourself permission, accept that you deserve to see the power and beauty that you are, and set aside the amount of time required for making it happen.

My parents taught me to look for God all around me, so I grew up seeing His handprint on nature, on the faces of children, and in the sunsets that washed the sky in water-colored hues. It wasn't until much later that I heard for the first time that God also lived within me. It was a foreign concept, for sure, and it made me uncomfortable. How could I possibly embrace a notion that felt so self-righteous? Yet I came to understand that this concept, that God lives within me, is the exact notion that Christ tried to teach us during His life on earth. When we are able to see and feel and be the image of God that we were designed to be, anything is possible.

God is the ultimate Creator. You are a creator, too. Everything you have experienced up until now has been a result of your calling it in, whether you realized you were doing so or not. Like powerful magnets, we each order the pieces of our story that make up what we consider to be reality. In any given moment, with awareness and the harnessing of your creative powers, you can choose to alter the direction of your life ... your reality. This is not science fiction. It is truth.

We tend to make the excuse, "I'm only human," when we should be shouting, "I am human!" We create our own human experiences, and when we take ownership of that truth, we become empowered and assume responsibility for everything that occurs, every day. If something shows up, it was beckoned. Adopt this truth, and your power will become limitless.

Certainly, adopting this new way of thinking is challenging, and that's why I'm putting forth the steps necessary for mastering it here. When you embrace your ability to use your God-given power to change everything, that's when the miracles begin to occur — with grace and ease. If you were given the power to choose a positive outcome, you would do it, right?

Ponder the Possibilities

"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." — Isaac Asimov

"The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it." — Giordano Bruno

"Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature." — St. Augustine

The most frustrating thing I face when doing my work is the tendency of naysayers to want "scientific proof." My favorite response to these types is, "I don't need to know how it works; I just know that it does." I then proceed to give them examples of things that we all experience (like deja vu and dream states), and I ask them if they know, scientifically, how to explain these. We live in a world filled with remarkable advancement, yet I believe many of the most profound truths are beyond our ability to measure. This chapter is a small attempt to provide some food for thought on why the challenges I outline in this book might actually work — if you need that sort of proof. I work in an area that is grossly misunderstood, but I believe we are on the verge of some exciting breakthroughs in terms of understanding and acceptance.

Let's start with prayer. For centuries, the religious have engaged in prayer. I've always been an advocate of prayer myself, seeing it as an act of faith that something bigger than me would hear my plea and go to work on my behalf. In his book Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine, Dr. Larry Dosey provides us with evidence from his own medical experiences on the effectiveness of prayer. Dr. Dosey points to hundreds of studies proving that praying for patients can create dramatic and surprising healing results. This thrills me. How fascinating to finally be able to prove that our "tapping in" and desire to change outcomes can truly have an impact — and that we are capable of influencing form (disease, injury, pain) with the help of faith (belief).

We've all heard that we use only 10 percent of our brains. This meager portion is reserved for controlling the obvious — motor skills and memory, for example. If we choose to believe that our brains are capable of only corporeal tasks, then it's easy to allow the rest, the other 90 percent, to lie dormant and forgotten. What if we could actually access and use more of our brain power? What if, hidden deep within this tissue and grey matter, were functions that were inadvertently shut down, put to sleep? What is possible when we access and develop more of our brains? I personally believe that this is the key to our evolution — the expansion of our brain power to tap into new understandings of our abilities as a species.

The book MindSight: The New Science of Personal Transformation, by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, a clinical professor of psychiatry, provides a comprehensive look at how our brains adapt to circumstances and/or evolve and are physically altered when given the right experiential, and repetitive, stimuli over time. His groundbreaking work has proven that we can alter the courses of our lives, expanding our emotional and social intelligence through mindful body awareness and exercises similar to those discussed here.

Further, Dr. Siegel's work shows how the right side of the brain, typically associated with creativity and emotions, also houses the stimuli for being compassionate and intuitive, as well as empathetic on a non- verbal level. These insights, proven by clinical research, excite me. It appears that the scientific community is on the verge of showing how Miracle Workers like myself are able to perform the healing work that requires feeling the energy of others, "knowing" beyond what is seen and heard, and using what we learn to help people heal old wounds and make better, more conscious choices. I believe all of us have the capacity to be Miracle Workers; it's simply a matter of evolving our brains and response systems, within our physical forms.

Imagine that we're living in the 15th century. I invite you to circumnavigate the globe with me, to see for yourself that the world is, in fact, not flat. I tell you that I've seen it for myself. I tell you that I've been there and know it to be true.

When you choose to embark upon a voyage — whether it's around the world or on this, a Miracle-Worker journey — you will access new areas of your brain and energy fields, which will allow you to expand what you know to be possible. With great commitment to change, you will find that a whole new world awaits you when you shed your attachments to what you currently believe to be true.

Further evidence of the power of Miracle Workers is provided by the field of Quantum Physics. It has provided us with a great deal of data regarding our energetic make-up and our capacity to change our very realities. You see, we are energy. Everything visible to the eye is highly concentrated energy, also known as mass or form. Form follows energy — in all cases. Everything that we see and experience is a direct product of the energy that created it and maintains it. So what should this tell us about our very selves?

We are energy in human form.

If we desire to change anything's form, it would stand to reason that we would first want to change its energy, right? If we want to change water to steam, we change the energy. If we want to change water to ice, we change the energy. If we want to convert steam to ice, there's a formula for that, too. The first step in your own change is to recognize the energy that is currently feeding your life, and then change that energy to reflect the change you want to see in your life. You are the change agent. You are the researcher, the engineer, the lab technician, the creator in this, the most groundbreaking development of your lifetime.

Energy is in constant motion, and therefore, everything that we can see is in a constant state of vibration. The naked eye cannot detect the movement, but with training, we can learn to feel those vibrations and identify them in all their forms: weak, strong, positive, and negative. People who become attuned to this phenomenon can detect (and even feel) the emotions conveyed by vibrations as they radiate from a form. This is most likely how animal communicators and clairvoyants operate; however, they aren't the only ones who can benefit from this ability. You not only have the power to tune-in to others' vibrations, you have the power to master your own frequencies, which is the most instrumental piece in mastering your own destiny.

When you learn to recognize how different types of energy feel within your own body, you can then learn to recognize the physical changes that are elicited when energies are shifted. You will gain the power to consciously control your outcomes.

Talk to anyone who has discovered the impact that energy input has had on their mental and physical states, and you'll want to learn more. Contentedness, vitality, inner peace, drive, alertness, and love are just a few of the side effects of adopting practices such as Sacred Body Language, Reiki, DNA Theta Healing, and chakras healing. I have experienced all of these and more. I am a part of a population of people who realize that when we hold onto negative energy, we create disease in the body. In fact, I have been so moved by my power to fashion my own destiny that I have used my understanding of energy vibrations to help clients and friends move out of "stuck" patterns, and to release deep-set emotions that are burdensome life-weights, causing pain and illness. Now, I want to do the same for you. Being able to move negative energy out of your body and restore your vibration to a higher state is a miracle that simply must be experienced. With mastery of the concepts outlined in the challenges that follow, it's easy to do.

We all have a home vibration frequency (that space where we feel Connected to and aligned with Source/God), and feel our best when we learn to maintain it. When we are in-tune with this highest of energies, our forms experience joy, love, compassion, gratitude. We are quickly empowered. Operating with the crystal clarity and full power of being tuned-in suddenly seems effortless, natural, and joy-inducing.

Sadly, most of us have spent the majority of our lives existing outside our home frequencies. Much like a radio tuner that's a bit off-the-mark, we feel anger, grief, hate, fear ... when we aren't energetically aligned. Our signals fade, noise muddies transmissions, and power dwindles.

Recognizing that feeling of being off-frequency is necessary to taking action. Even if the knob gets bumped, mastery of energy concepts will help you to quickly identify if the knob is too far to the left or to the right, and correct it promptly, with minimal loss.

Life is easy — it just happens, and happens well — when our signals are kept high and clear of obstructions. Read that sentence again. It sums up the entire concept of this book. This new way of being will change everything about how you experience life. Now is the time. Time to breathe, to commit to learning, and to embark upon the journey that will take you high — high above all the noise.

Plug in and FLOAT

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you." — Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)

" There is no time, no place, no state where God is absent." — Marianne Williamson

Just in case there's any doubt, allow me to reiterate: You are divine and directly Connected to God at all times. When you are able to truly grasp this, you will be able to soar through life — over hardships, past the drama, around debilitating sorrow and feelings of inadequacy. This knowledge is a gift, and how awesome it is to know that you are this special, this magnificent?

However, there are days when every one of us — even the most in-tune — loses that Connection. I've struggled with this in my own life. I'm a self-confessed control freak, and have, many times, felt as though I must shoulder all the burden of getting everything perfect. I micromanaged. I analyzed every step. I hovered. Outcomes were not as I had envisioned them. Instead, I found myself exhausted, in tears, and feeling that the only perfect thing before me was my own perfect failure.

I wish I had known then what I know now. I wish someone had told me that I didn't have to do it all on my own and that I could look up and grab God's ever-present lifeline — an electrified Connection with spiritual super voltage, capable of rejuvenating my spirit and putting my mind and body at peace and delivering an outcome far beyond what I could ever create solo. If only I had known this higher state could be as simple as reaching for that power cord and plugging it in. This has now become a practice I do each morning when I wake, to ensure that I am off to the best start.

Many of you have never experienced this magical Connectivity and the knowledge and trust that all is good. Now you're wondering what you can do to change that. The truth? It's simpler than you think.
