you are your leader

YOU are your leader! 

Glenn Llopis expresses it beautifully in a series of articles. Basically, whatever you focus on you attract and radiate in whatever social, business and lifestyle circles you move. How you focus is the primary factor as reflected in these three articles:

• The Content You Read Shapes How You Lead: Top 10 Leadership Themes - Key statement is: "Leaders gravitate towards content that fuels their knowledge and provides them the insights and wisdom that keeps them on their toes and helps them better serve others." So, ask yourself what knowledge do I seek, what is my motivation and how does it serve others?
• 5 Ways Leaders Win People Over - Winning people over first starts by helping others understand your intentions.
• The Most Successful Leaders Do 15 Things Automatically, Every Day - The most successful leaders are instinctual decision makers. Most senior executives will tell you they depend strongly upon their “gut-feel” when making difficult decisions at a moment’s notice.

Notable quotes from Abraham-Hicks:

• If you intend to be of assistance, your eye is not upon the trouble but upon the assistance, and that is quite different. When you are looking for a solution, you are feeling positive emotion— but when you are looking at a problem, you are feeling negative emotion. (Excerpted from the book - The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham)
• Unless you do something about your vibrational countenance, nothing can change. Nothing long term will change, that's certain... Haven't you noticed that a new disease pops up, and humanity finds the cure, only to find another disease popping up? Don't you think it's interesting that you don't get to the end of those diseases? The reason you don't, is because you have not yet come to the end of pushing against things. (Excerpted from the workshop in San Diego, CA on August 13, 2005)
• We would focus on everything that mattered to us. It is so satisfying to hold a thought and to find the feeling place and then see the Universe conspire to help you receive it. Oh, co-creation at its best. (Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on November 1, 1998)

your navigation and motivation

The "light" is the all-permeating love of Source (God). "Darkness" is the absence of "light". Now you ask, "How can there be absence to something that is all-permeating?" The Emotional Guidance Scale espoused in great detail by Esther and Jerry Hicks in their book, The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent offers a great answer. 

Light is love. Darkness is depression, a disconnection. An example of the scale includes these sensory descriptors: Love - Joy - Gratitude - Appreciation - Optimism - Hopefulness - Frustration - Disappointment - Doubt - Revenge - Insecurity - Depression. (Do an Internet search for "Emotional Guidance Scale Esther and Jerry Hicks" to find the Hicks' list.)

First, you decide how you want to proceed by asking yourself: 

• How do I feel about what I am doing right now?
• Do I need to change what I am doing?
• Is this taking me where I want to go?
• Does this achieve something that helps others, too?

This is your navigation and motivation because you want to feel the best you can in any moment about what you are doing! Accept that in any given moment you are doing the best you can with the information at hand. Let go of things you could-have-done-better by learning the lesson. This is cranial hemispheric cooperation, you might say. The sensors move the pointer on the scale (Emotional Guidance Scale), whereas the analyzers read the scale and adjust the environment.

With practice, you find yourself moving around at the higher end of the scale. Stay focused on what you want in life and let others fend for themselves!

In the words of Esther and Jerry Hicks, "When you continually look for a way of looking at everything that feels slightly better than what you are currently feeling, you are getting closer and closer to seeing your world as your Inner Being sees it. And, in the process, you will be leaving resistance behind. Your own resistance is the only factor that keeps you from realizing all of the wonderful. All things that you consider to be bad exist only because of resistance to your natural Well-Being."

The 3D experience of life based on quantum reality is a soup of probabilities in which you attract what you desire. Be the creator of your soup!

moving thought forward

What "moving thought forward" is, is about being a nucleus that attracts different components of thought so that when they actualize around you — it is different than it has ever been before!

"As I stand in my focused, human, leading-edge experience, and I choose this combination of thoughts and feelings, I am offering a signal that has never been offered before. And so, the Universe must uniquely yield to me, which causes me to offer a vibration that maybe someone somewhere else is matching. If they are, they will certainly come into my experience for the time that we are matching it." That is the way you affect the world.

Most think in terms of thought affecting the world: You think about transmitting outward: "I'm going to affect the world from my outgoing signal." That isn't the way it works. You affect the world by achieving the vibration that brings the signals to you. You create a nucleus that Universe has to respond around. That is how you are the creator.

allow to love

Personal and global ascension requires allowing and gratitude. Allowing what you do not like or want happens when you give your attention to what is desired. Gratitude is appreciation for the incredible variety in all things…personalities, clothing designs, architecture, trees, drinking vessels, and so on.

Daily allowing and gratitude bring you to an inner space of love for ALL without bringing ALL into your everyday experience. With this you discern where you want to go, whose company feels good, what foods excite your taste buds, and so on.

Changes ensue along the path of life. Perhaps the spinach you grimaced over is now a favored green in your salad. Perhaps a person you avoided for a “less than” feeling they transmitted with their presence, has transcended the emotional issue resulting in that message.

Rather than avoiding what is undesirable, focus on what is desired. You can always go to a place of inner stillness where your answers await. (One might sleep on it!)

At a recent tai chi gathering on the Intracoastal Waterway, the participants were mostly quiet for the practice. By being the example I desired for the group, speech was minimal. My meditation on balance visualized  everyone in the group receiving a harmonious blend of galactic and earth energies. Group behavior demonstrated greater balance manifested as silence (focused meditation).  The group tuned to living in the Now. Everyone benefited.

Another way of discussing human interaction is this: love all in the grand scheme whether or not you like their behavior. It is perfectly acceptable to love at a distance and not like upon close inspection. Just follow your emotional guidance scale. If the person does not inspire good feelings in you, place your attention elsewhere.

Whatever you are giving your attention to already has a vibration of its own, and as you give your attention to it, you include its vibration in your vibration...and then your point of attraction is affected. (Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in Silver Spring, MD on April 19, 1997)

If man understood that "what I create has nothing to do with what anybody else is creating" then he wouldn't be so afraid of what others are doing. (Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in El Paso, TX on November 14, 1998)

proceeding along your path

Lately, there are many purveyors of the new energy - how to navigate, how to succeed, how to raise your vibration, and so on. Objectively speaking, people search for a way to sell whatever their expertise is or whatever they believe. It is the way of human nature and business! That is what we do in this dimension, whether you are an artist or brick layer, you sell what you are good at.

Intent is the operative word for this energetic shift in consciousness. Intent is thought powered with feeling/emotion. Gregg Braden said it well, that they work together. They are two aspects of the one. (Feeling is the deep innate sense and emotion is the individual expression of feeling.)

Intent does not have to be spoken, visual or a physical action. It is feeling. There can be outward signs of the feeling or not. As I recall Gregg Braden speaking about a trip into the desert with someone who prayed for rain, Gregg sensed nothing about the other person’s prayer. When Gregg asked the man, the response was about feeling and smelling the rain – the experience of the desired outcome as having already happened!

Visualize energized water coming through the water pipes of your home in a vortex motion. Picture the hydrologic cycle of this planet. Be the Earth. How can anyone be the Earth? You know what it feels like when the water from your bathroom shower flows over your body, so you know what it feels like when water flows down a mountain, rounding various surfaces. Expand the visualization. Feel rain on your face and arms; see yourself as a tree in a meadow bathed in a spring rainfall.

I create whatever I choose but I have to believe it, feel it and visualize it with knowing. Of course, it helps to come from a place of love to make it reality. We all know that if you do anything from a place of love, it is a more rewarding outcome than if you do it from apathy or general acceptability. The outcome resonates with where you are, so be in a place of loving intention.

The various modalities and tools people are promoting, are beneficial when they resonate with your path. If you feel these things are acceptable but not for you, then pass them by; it is okay. The bottom line is about the feeling that comes from within you. All these other things are like training wheels to help you reach your goal. Maybe you cannot get from here to your goal in one step, so you take small steps to raise your vibration. Some of these tools will help you take the steps, but only you make that determination by how you feel about what the person is saying about their sound recording, visualization exercise, tuned product or other unique offering.

The speed with which you proceed along your path depends on how quickly you assimilate different ideas, how open you are, releasing judgment (limiting beliefs) and staying flexible to possibilities. When you recognize that reality is a soup of potentialities, then all boundaries fall away. Anything is possible. It depends on how much you want it, how focused you are, what your feelings are about it and, of course, the environment you are in – what draws your attention from it (the drama in your life). Your focus is your key. If you are committed and focused, the drama around you falls away. The things you focus on are everywhere around you. They are constantly within your reach whether it is mental or emotional; they are always on your mind. You draw to yourself what you think about.

Be joyful..!
