“It’s like I did 5 years of meditation in one weekend!”

Beth Clark, Yoga and Meditation Teacher,
Kingston, Ontario

 

“When I emerged from the direct experience of who I am (at the retreat) I started to laugh. All of my worries about the future and my resentments about past hurts seemed, in that moment, very small when compared to the vastness of which I was a part.
In that moment I knew that joy- real joy that does not deny what is hard in our lives- is a choice. Joy finds us when we feel the elation that comes when we know that we belong- to another, to ourselves, to the world, to the Mystery that is larger than ourselves."

“Many thanks for the most wonderful experience of my life!  I feel different now.  Music even sounds different now.  Debussy never sounded like that before!  The biggest surprise for me was meeting and bonding with all those wonderful folks.  WOW.  I wish I could put them all in a lamp and then rub it and have them appear if I'm feeling lonely.  Imagine having 20 or so folks like that in the same place at the same time?

The 12 Principles by Which I Lead My Life

  1. Russell-shot-150

    Let The Truth Set You Free

    Find out the Truth of who you are, what life is, why you are here. Shun dogma, second-hand beliefs, and fanaticism. They will only imprison you. You can experience the Truth for yourself. Get clear on these things and your real life will begin. Yearn to live from a deeper place of knowingness. The Truth will be your inner strength and the force that will empower you to build the life you were meant to live!

  2. What You Get is What You See

    Whatever you consistently focus your attention on - you get more of.  Start by being grateful for the little things that you have and watch them grow and your happiness double. Pay attention to your attention. Watch it and use it. It’s absolutely where your life starts.

  3. Clear Your Internal Eyeglasses

    External circumstances are a projection of inner beliefs. Stuck in a negative pattern in your life? Look it for it within.  It’s your opinion, the erroneous view that you super-impose on others and the world that leads to external problems. The more you clear your internal eyeglasses the more your real destiny flows into your life.

  4. Life Doesn’t Care

    Look around you. Life is full. It contains and accepts everything: good, evil, beauty, ugliness, materialism, sacredness, war, peace. It’s a total reflection of the state of our relationship with one another …and Life doesn’t give a damn. This is liberating. It means that whatever you want, you can get. Life will give it to you. The only thing that stops you is you. Just make sure that what you bring into life is True.

  5. Do It By Your Self But Not Alone

    You were born with the help of others. In your darkest hours you can recover yourself by reaching out to others. It’s harder to do it alone. Consciousness and ability grow more quickly in relationship. You need others and others need you, to find the uniqueness and magnificence of your true nature. 

  6. It’s Not What You Get, It’s What You Give

    If you want to become successful stop hoping to make a million dollars. Discover your greatest gifts and find out what people want. Look for how your gifts match what people really need. Give from the highest most authentic part of your self. People will come and word will spread. You may or may not make a million dollars but you will be happy.

  7. Unwrap the Present

    The past was the way it was. The future can be the same or different. It depends on what you reinforce in the present. “Now” is where you are free. “Now” is where you can choose to create your life, the same or different. There are an infinite number of “now’s. If you miss one there’s another one coming around the corner. While you are creating, enjoy the present. That’s where the real you hangs out!

  8. Someday Never Comes

    If you want to have more luck in life immediately follow-up every advantage that comes your way. Move in the direction of your dreams even if it is only one step for 2 seconds. Start now. You will feel better moving a little than despairing about being stuck. If you wait, the only thing that waits for you is regret.

  9. Plan Ahead But Take The Risk

    We must do our due diligence and plan ahead but there will always be risks. There is no risk-free guarantee in life…even not taking a risk is risking that things will just stay the same. Sometimes we have to risk losing it all to get everything.

  10. Just Get It

    When things get tough the only way through, is in. There’s no getting around or over it, there’s just getting it… just experiencing it exactly the way it is. If you resist it, it just persists. Life needs to flow. If you restrict it, you will damn up your energy and eventually get sick. If you need to, get help to help you get it. What you will get is the wisdom that got suspended in the resistance. And once you get it what you’ll get is feeling more alive.

  11. Persist

    The biggest reason some of us fail is not because we aren’t skilled, smart or good enough. We give up. We become afraid that we are going to fail. Well guess what… we are going to fail… lots. That’s life. But you won’t be destroyed. Who you really are is indestructible. Learn from your mistakes and the blame will fade. You’ll get stronger. If the goal is in your heart you’ll be drawn to succeed.

  12. Love

    Love is the force that holds everything in the universe together. It is its inner gravity. It nourishes everything. You were born because of it. No one can grow without it. Express your love daily. Start at home and let it expand and break you open. Love. The world needs it.
