Don’t think you are. Know you are. Morpheus to Neo, The Matrix
At some point on the adventure, you need to relinquish the comfort of external opinion for the discomfort of your own inklings. Make no mistake, there will be turbulence!
The path less traveled can be difficult to navigate, especially when you’re ensconced in your own fears and doubts. Instead of catapulting you into a terminal state of denial or resistance, you could experience these states as signposts leading you to the playground of potential. This is the alivening essence of now, the only arena where possibility lives. The only place, paradoxically, where you can come into being.
Don’t waste your time grappling with the safety of what you already know. Venture to the edge of your assumptions and engage and explore a world of infinite magnificence. It’s yours for the knowing.

“alivening”…I love how you make new words. I do it too. It’s way more than poetic license. It is giving life to nouns. It is creation in all its glorious voice. The metaphors are becoming reality! Along with NancyB’s “love, love, love” , I submit your word, “ALIVEN”

“Don’t think you are. Know you are.” Never saw movie and this is part of the progression in Action Based Communication ™ methodology I touched on during April 10 teleclass (available at http://www.right-line.com).
Progression is Think~Feel~Believe~Know~omit the interrupters (think, feel, believe, know).
Applying this to the quote would be, “Think you are. Feel you are. Believe you are. Know you are. You are.”

I stand in the circle of this energetic sharing. It spoke to me, the knowing. Sometimes, more times than I like, the perception of what others will think of me comes into play.
Even though I go and do what I feel moved to do anyway, I still hear those voices in my head, saying those things that make me feel like I should be this or that or I should be here or there, or why haven’t I made it yet, etc.
Yes, there will be turbulence as I continue to give birth to the ME that I was born to be! I give thanks for the turbulence for it is a form of clearing the path.
I give thanks for those who are beacons of light in my life. I give thanks for being a beacon of light in the lives of others. I give thanks for THIS magnificent journey!

I am so grateful for our connection this am.. As ALWAYS it was “purrfecctt”( in the sounds of my 18 – yr old cat who has finally decided that I am capable or really good behind her ears scratching! ) When I am in connection with others, I do feel an energetic flow that I sense as tingling or trembly anticipation. This feeling does not alter BP or pulse rate but I feel it nonetheless. I then go to a place of floating. Usually this is in water and I am on a net of some sort and I know that the net is the energetic support of this group. Today, I was on one of those fluffy white cotton candy clouds being supported by an invisible stream of the gentle breeze. We are here to support, to console, to encourage, to celebrate, to challenge, to grow together . We can do so without the story of the one taking hold of us energetically .. Yet, in coming together, the story of the one of each of us becomes a part of the story of the whole.. For me, the word I feel is BLISS-FULL and WOWZA ! it is a great place to be!
I am in a state of letting go of old ways, old beliefs, old physical stuff that no longer serves. In some instances ,holding onto this sthuff has made me physically ill as it is in such conflict with who I am at present and who I choose to shift into being. I do not have the answers for who she is but I know that in order for her to SOAR, the letting go is a necessary process.. This time through, it has been hard work and yet very easy at the same time.. Dichotomy is such a wonderful teacher when we stop to look!
I also “got” the message that there are only “right ” answers. My answer may not be the one that best responds to the question asked. It is , however, my answer, my TRUTH and as such it is a perfect fit for me. Also, as I “allow” my light to shine , I have no fear of what others are doing , even if it is similar in some way. We each have a specific gift and voice and when we are using this gift and this voice, there is a unique quality that stands strong and obvious . This can not be copied by others no matter how hard they might try.
My intention is to be a messenger for JOY. I will do this through my art,. and through written and vocal expression of the love that I have for BE-ing. It is my hope that what I do or what I say will bring a feeling of Joy to someone else on a daily basis.

I finally had time to listen in, thanks! One thing that really hit home and I see it in my own clients is the lack of beauty in their offices. I walk in, and there is NOTHING on the walls. I always have a uncontrollable need to hang things that are important to the client on the wall so they can see it.
Thanks.
