Evolutionary Provocateur

Spiritual Expansion for Individuals & Business

Since I started this blog in 2006 my goal was to catalyze the evolution of business thinking so that employees could take their whole selves to work, innovation could happen as it naturally does without command and control structures and so that business could step up and take a larger leadership role in global innovation. I under estimated the dedication business has to sticking to its current game plan.

Luckily, there are some companies out there who are evolved enough to make the jump. The evolutionary jump that we are nearing is showing up in a multitude of indicators not the least of which is global warming. With strategies moving nowhere despite the compelling logic of science and market performance (Jay Bragdon's Profit for Life) lets call a spade a spade.

This about expansion and engaging in it one person, one day, one moment at a time. At the company level, simplly mulitply the effect by the number of employees. The term 'new age' has been used to describe everything spiritual but it is not about 'new age'. it is about a grounded understanding of how energy works in the self and in organizational dynamics: spatially, intellectually, emotionally, intuitively, multidimensionally... 

Fortunately, conflict and change are the doorways and those who have figured this out have systematically let go of old strategies to release tension and walk calmly over the threshold. Leadership at this time is not simply a matter of learning the new leadership lexicon. You actually must embody it. Pretend to do otherwise and anyone less than 35-40 will bust you instantly. Transparency and authenticity... not the kind where you do what others think you should, but the kind where you are real and persistently striving to self-realize and lead from a place of whole seeing and compassion.

It also means being open to new information and not screening it out because it doesn't fit your current frame of reference. This normally sounds like: 'i don't believe in.......'.

Authenticity is sourced in communicating and being from the embodiment of unity at all levels. This is not an easy quest but a necessary one for in the process of achieving unity you retrieve more aspects of yourself that enable more talents to emerge. Many people see a hint of these talents and run from their power. Please do not run. Energetic talents and gifts are accelerated and sophisticated. Many autistic children embody them but not all. High levels of sensitivity which have been judged as a weakness are now a strength because their presence enables the individual to see the blocks in performance, progress or results.

Here is what doesn't work in the expansion:

To-do lists: these assume that time is still a linear operation. It isn't. Lists are find for focus but not to slot into a time driven agenda. You will find yourself with too many lists and not enough time.

What does work: Set priorities against goals that aligned with your heart's desire.

What doesn't work: Assuming that you are doing something wrong if what you are doing isn't working.This feeds duality and is more black and white than life is at the moment.

What does work: Standing back and seeing your life from a more obbjective, less judgmental place. From that vantage point you can see that doing things differently is in order. Don't make yourself wrong. Just try something different.

Enough for one day. Join me at Modern Om Gallery-Los Angeles for a 2 hour session called Making Sense of Change. Exciting times...no question.

Brain Wave States Agility - Cory Herter

Clay Pulley uses technology to help professionals and abnormal or normal humans achieve a higher level of efficiency and effectiveness by creating coherence and balance with their brainwave states. At his invite after lunch at P.Changs we headed to his office and hooked Cory Herter to the machine. The idea behind the machine as i understood it is to scan the brainwave in various operating protocols, then generate a set of frequencies that bring the imbalance back to balance. The effect is to generate a peak performance state minus the random craziness that many people feel is associated with getting things done.

The guy who rode my bumper going down the street and then cut in front when I pulled into Terrible Herbsts Lube center would have been a good candidate. In a hurry and in a stressed state he needed to be first and he had no patience for anything holding up his version of the day. A bit of rebalancing the brain wave would have helped for sure.

Once Clay hooked Cory up to the tech he gave him simple instructions which amounted to 'relax' and we then watched the monitor. Clay's eyes said it all as Cory's brainwaves blew the lid off the range. Analysis was impossible. Then Cory shut down different parts of this brain. With the neurofeedback showing up on the screen, he could see exactly what he was doing. Controlling the frequency of each brainwave state, including gamma, Cory has the capacity to self-regulate his operational systems. 

In leadership circles, we talk about agility and are mostly associating that with thinking. Thinking is related to brainwave states but IF business leaders had the capacity for agility they could see how shifting perspectives, shifting thinking, shifting brainwave states are all one expression of the same skill set.  Agility of brainwave states is the mastery level. Here we are tinkering around with shifting persectives and, in business at least, aren't opening up the lens very wide.

As change and complexity increases so must our ability and agility to open to a full range of abilities, many of which are embodied in GenY and in the kids now being diagnosed as autistic. These abilities are not well understood when seen through the older paradigms of reality. Time to break open the box.

Birthdays and Synchronicity

Today is my Mom's Birthday. She was born in 1925 and crossed over last october, the same month my little brother crossed over in his early 20's. Mom had always been of incredible support to me. she read my book, my film script, helped me with various revenue MLM  projects mostly off the radar screen. She had an undefeatable spirit so that even when she was diagnosed with carcinoid cancer she proved to be the star for the new radiation treatment. Unlike her hopes,when the technician said she'd be good for another 20 years what they really meant as my nurse neice said later, wasthat they were managing her to her death. She took full on empowerment for her health and maintained a high quality of life, until the last two weeks. Though my daughter and I don't live in the same city as the rest of the family, we 3 were very close... and we had enormous fun whenever we got together.

Now for the cosmic joke. Last Friday i presented a free workshop in Las Vegas with Cory Herter called Using Chaos of  Change to Make Sense of Your Life. One of the participants was a woman named jeanne spelled exactly the same as my mom. She called me  on Monday to invite me for lunch and offered to  help me roll out some programs here in Vegas. We agreed to meet today. Then i looked at the calendar. It's my mom's birthday today and i am meeting Jeanne (Mom's name) for lunch.

Honestly, does it get any better? i am looking forward to sharing lunch on this day with someone who speaks for my mom who continues to watch over my daughter and I from the other dimensions.

Thank YOU!!

World Peace, Inner Peace, and Vibration

Just got an email from someone I don't know who sent me the link to the upcoming global peace meditation. The link for the event on November 11th is http://globalpeace1111event.blogspot.com/. It makes sense. The work done by HeartMath Institute on the Global Coherence Project confirms that the health and state of peace in your heart is directly linked to that of the planetary electromagnetic field. Those of you who have been reading this blog for awhile might be bored with hearing that again but it is worth repeating becuase the power of the Self in co-creating planetary peace and a reality that is more in harmony with all life (including Earth) has never been greater.

People mired in a sense of doom are denying, repressing, or ignoring the role they can choose to play in the grander picture. Separation from the Self isn't particularly comfortable because it relies on fear to sustain its identity. Much has been said in the healing community about raising your personal level of vibration while simultaneously shunning those whose pasts have included the era of control and manipulation. Only by stepping through the beliefs into understanding and holding compassion can the vibrations be shifted. this isn't just a LIght and Love Fair. It is a conscious and intentional commitment to achieving harmonic balance within one's energy system 24/7.

Low vibrations aren't bad either when their purpose and intent is to heal, assist or benefit the Whole they perform a higher duty. The assumption that low means low on the totem pole doesn't hold true when it comes to vibration; organizational structure - yes.

I recently met a former CIA agent who is now grappling with the meaning of his life. He has lived the History of Violence and now must make sense of what his life means in light of all of that experience. It is a challenge that many face though not with the same set of experiences sitting in their memory bank. It is an invitation to become more Whole and to elevate one's sense of purpose to match the global changes underway for the good of all. Oddly, he is shunned by the healing and lightworker community as someone who can not hold light. Not true.

Memory is a tricky thing. It holds knowledge when the emotional charge has been removed. Left with the emotional charge, it holds confusion and frequently a negative charge. As Cory put it so eloquently in a recent course: every memory holding some piece of information that involves another, means that they are in you. Former spouses that you have not reconciled with are in your memory system. You carry them with you daily. If you are angry, bitter, hold resentment...all these vibrations are held in various organs in your body and willl ultimately create dis-easeif not cleared.

I invite lightworkers who seek to raise their vibration to release the negative charge held toward someone that is neatly hidden below the waterline of subconcsious awareness. The answers lie within; as above- so below all hold true.

Energetic Blueprints and Organizational Change Podcast Posted

www.Management-Issues.com/podcasts.asp  has just posted the second of two interviews i did with Dr. Rollin McCraty of the HeartMath Institute. In this one, we talk about energetic blueprints and how they impact organizational, community change. This information also applies to anyone who has experience multiple losses or recurring patterns in their life that are either good or bad but programmed into the spatial environment. Cory Herter and I are working on a program where people can learn how to reprogram the space to serve a higher purpose. 

Both interviews describe the mechanics that underpin key relationships particularly those within organizations where the structure relies on command and control. Everyone but business knows that this structure of relationships blocks performance on every level but few understand that the energy imprint from decades of this approach is lodged in the cultural basement. Any efforts to shift the culture to a more caring and compassionate one require this knowledge so that deliberate and intentional efforts can be made to shift it energetically. This is not a business engineering process. It is one that recognizes that the human spirit resides in the workplace and actually drives the quality and loyalty of relationships with customers and suppliers. 

There is, in fact, a law of attraction that corresponds to the electro-magnetic frequencies emitted by the people who work there. Exciting information to anyone who wants their company to become agile enough to flow with change rather than be hit and knocked out by the unexpected. 

Vibrational Healing and My Dog

Just wanted to post the link to a video where Serena, a very cool crystal kid, talks about a healing session she did on my 13 year old sheperd-lab-husky. I am still learning. Enjoy.

By the way, Cory is doing another program in Las Vegas at the end of this month. Go to www.coryherter.com/events He and I are doing a seminar tomorrow night in Vegas called Using the Chaos of Change to Make Sense of Your Life. It is also posted on Cory's site. Hope to see you there! 

The 9-9-9 Shift

Listening to Cory run his webinar tonight up came the significance of tomorrow since it is the 9-9-09. Cory's answer independently echoed the information i received in my inbox from Dr. Carl Calleman who is the Swedish biologist whose work superimposed human history over the Mayan calendar to reveal waves of contraction and expansion. His work serves to demystify what is a truly complex calendar and to make sense by seeing it as a systems map for the transformation of human consciousness.

Recent newsletters contain a number of interesting articles.

RE: 9-9-9

Dear Friends,
As I discuss in this article the Gregorian date 9.9.9 (September 9, 2009) through an amazing synchronicity happens to be the beginning of a new tzolkin round:

http://www.calleman.com/content/articles/999_and_the_mayan_calendar.htm

We may look upon this date as the launching of a three stage rocket to the fulfilment of the ninth level of creation, and it is an ideal time to contemplate or lauch projects designed to serve humanity's co-creation of the birth of a new world.
Regards
Carl Johan

The second one includes a link to an article on the parallel between systems thinking and the Mayan calendar.

For a long time the professional scientific community has resisted the thought
that the different time periods of the Mayan calendar are driving cosmic and human evolution through their influence on consciousness. While of course a large number of professional Mayanists have worked with elucidating the structure of the calendar system of the ancient Maya there has always been a resistance to acknowledging that there would be a reality behind these energies. Hence, even though it may not have been said so directly these cosmic energies have often been regarded as some kind of superstitions.
 
A beginning of a shift in attitude now however seems to be on its way. At an international conference in Systems Theory at the University of Liege in Belgium Professor Tadeja Jere Lazanski won the award for best scientific paper in the CASYS'09 (Computing Anticipatory Systems) conference:
http://www.upr.si/fileadmin/user_upload/Novice/sporocila_za_javnost/
Tadeja_Jere_Lazanski_CASYS_09-The_Best_Paper_Award.jpg
for "Systems Thinking: Ancient Maya's Evolution of Consciousness and Modern Systems Thinking."
http://www.upr.si/fileadmin/user_upload/Novice/ CASYS09-Systems_-_Mayan_Evolution_of_Consciousness-Lazanski.pdf
The paper outlines the nine levels of evolution that are developed according to the Mayan calendar system and places them in the context of Systems Theory. In short Dr Jere Lazanski is driving the thesis that what the ancient Maya saw as a plan driven by divine energies is what now is generally referred to as the big picture.

This initial breakthrough into mainstream science of the true Mayan calendar system of Nine Underworlds and Thirteen Heavens is very significant and it opens for the first time a road to discussing not only the Mayan calendar, but also the many evolutionary progressions that it describes in certain scholarly settings.

It is also noteworthy that, in contrast, the urban legend of a "galactic alignment"
as the basis for the Mayan Long Count for good reasons has consistently been
rejected by professional scientists (see for instance Vincent Malmström,
The Astronomical Insignificance of Maya date 13.0.0.0,
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~izapa/M-32.pdf).

Raw Food Diets and the Evolution of Sustainability

In my Sept. 1 post I reported out on the workshop delivered by Cory Herter which was organized by The Healing Light Center in Denver, CO. The two ladies behind the HLC, Loriel and Solei, are both raw foodists. Loriel hosted Cory & Raegan along with me and my dog at her wonderful home in Golden, CO. It was there that I was further initiated into gourmet raw food diet. 

When visiting the gifted healer Renate Jung in Calgary, AB who, along with her daughter, had just started on a raw food diet, I had been able to review books like RawVolution and more which was a nice start. Loriel took it a bunch of steps further as an experienced raw foodist she shared research and her knowledge of her network that made me realize the possible direction and solutions for the global food supply issue as our species rapidly eats and consumes itself out of house and home. 

Few miss the fact that reliance on a meat diet is not sustainable for a variety of reasons all of which stem from the interdependence of all things. See the bees post for insight on the connection between bees and ice cream.  Those tracking the ascension process know that we are becoming less dense in our bodies which demands, depending on your external environment, a less dense diet. In fact one person has succeeded in living off of Prana alone. 

As the global food supply and the earth's capacity to recycle our waste into soil and productive food producing land diminished for an ever increasing population it is quite probable that we will have to evolve to becoming lighter with our physical bodies to achieve and match the higher vibrations that are flooding in as we speak. 

Some of the resources Loriel shared include:

www.juicefeasting.com

www.sunwarrior.com 

www.rawfoods.com

Her own website where you can acquire accurately labelled food is www.rawutopia.com and if you live in the Denver area you can catch a raw cooking class to learn how to produce some very good tasting food. 

And for you almond eaters. Loriel's practice of soaking 1 cup of almonds in 3 cups of water overnight transforms the taste completely. Charge the bowl with some Sacred G (free to download) and you are rockin! 

Fillmore, Utah: A KOA that Delivers on its Promise

As a camper i have stayed in one or more KOA campgrounds. The experience sucked. Jammed between two massive RVs with no access to the services advertised and paying a ridiculous amount of money for the experience, i swore i would never stay in a KOA again. 

I am not the only one. My brother and his wife drive a motor home and found that the KOAs are overpriced and under deliver. So when i reached Fillmore, Utah after a long day of driving when the owner Ann encouraged me to come to her campground i was pretty reluctant to accept the suggest as the image and association of high cost and low to no value was stuck in my mind. 

The skies were overcast, lightening was booming no more that 5-8 miles away (lightening strike... then count one elephant-two elephant - till the boom hits). For only $5 more than the State park i received my own site that was private, big, roofed picnic table, water tap... apparently known as a super tent site. Value. This works. 

So for those of you campers who have ever been turned off by KOA do stop by and stay with Ann and Dick. Great place, great people and a nice way to enjoy a thunder storm. 

Whether KOA know it or not, they have done a deep disservice to their owners when their expansion was driven by greed over providing a consistently high level of value to their customers. How many others have given that KOA a walk past because of a past promise not delivered upon? 

When companies grow, the principles upon which the growth takes place are effective when grounded in love and compassion aka www.cafegratitude.com KOA have some catching up to do and some radical reputation recovery to compensate owners like Ann  and Dick in Fillmore, Utah. 

Cory Herter's Vibrational Technology - Self Development on Sacred G

Just go back from Denver, CO where I was supporting Cory and Raegan in the delivery of the Level One Practitioner Program called the Breath of Love. 

The universe works in mysterious ways. I first came across Cory Herter in 2005 when I was looking for technology that could support the learning space for optimal retention of learning particular at the subconscious level where stored memories create experience with LIFE. After reviewing an option presented by a very knowledgeable technologist - Seann Sinclair, i opted to find something less intrusive and more natural. Cory's work showed up. Since then he has moved it light years and in the last month has come up with Sacred G Fusion. You can feel Fusion vibrating a mile away. In fact, during the free evening program in Denver someone came in after smelling the Sacred G essential oil from across the block. 

The mathematical systems he has programmed into Fusion activate alignment of energies and propel lives forward. Cory, more than anyone I know, consistently channels and embodies a deep and profound understanding of how geometry works, particularly as it serves to advance the evolution of consciousness. His knowledge of the mechanics is a brilliant window to realize what is often left to metaphysical theorists. Cory's fusion posters activate changes or insights overnight in most people especially kids. 

Back to the story. After two years of not connecting with Cory on the same night he was checking my FB account and I was leaving a message on his FB page. We then talked for 45 minutes and agreed that I should come down to Vegas so we could catch up. I arrived on the Sunday; the same day he and his beautiful wife Raegan had returned from a long road trip. The sense of importance I had sensed for our visit did not remain a mystery for long as I discovered he was rolling out his workshop program and needed help. 

Fabulous. A place to contribute my 12 years of leadership program design and delivery and some 25 + years of facilitating group performance and energy. We have had a great time. The folks at Healing Light Center (more on them in a subsequent post), are amazing and did a wonderful job of putting together a group of wonderful participants who jumped in to learn how Sacred G works. And work it does. All participants reported overnight experiences that marked a change in their worlds toward a heightened state of awareness, intuitive messages, or calm.

From here, we have workshops again in Denver, Florida, Seattle to start and will add a Level 2 program which helps you know how to work with energy and in particular, your energy body so those of you who are energetically sensitive or empathic have better tools for maintaining energetic boundaries when the demand on you is high. Speakers, workshop leaders, coaches, healers, service providers to the wellness industry will appreciate what Cory brings to it. 

As for me, I have the opportunity to learn from Cory and to apply my own understanding of the need for the rational mind to see the context for change, the big picture, and the emotional logic that permeates every quantum leap you might face in your evolution. We are in interesting times and there is no time like now to become more agile in your own capacity to transform your life.

Perspective, Dolphins, Release and Gratitude

There are a lot of people who would see me as nuts! Others might see me as courageous. For every person there is a perception supported by a perspective on life, beliefs about how the world works and how it 'should' work. 

As we enter a period where life change, career change, job loss, dis-ease, or choice becomes the portal for self-actualization and self-leadership the need to accept the risk of stepping into the unknown is natural. So here i am, car packed to the roof with my life, no computer (nuts!), no phone (nuts again), but armed with maps and a rear view mirror that tells me generally whether i am going north or south, i am heading off to share what i know about change and how it can deeply empower, teach, and help you see your place and purpose. 

What role does fear have? None, unless you feed it of course. 

What role does doubt have? None, unless you focus on it and nurture it over your intuitive sense and capacity to be present with each thought, feeling and decision. 

On the Easter weekend i was living on the Sunshine Coast in a small waterfront cabin. The 3 weeks i thought i would be there expanded to 3.5 months with nothing turning out the way i thought it should or expected it to. So feeling full of a sense of being judged for what might be seen as my irresponsibility i was feeling pretty emotional. On the Monday, after two days of solid rain, the sun came out and in celebration i walked along the beach with my trusty dog. Out on the channel i could see fish jumping... No! Not fish... to my shock and surprise i was looking at 75-100 dolphins moving down the channel at breakneck speed. A few leaders out in front, they were cavorting and playing. As they passed in front of me one breached jumping clear out of the water. 

In the Medicine Cards, dolphin is Manna or breath with one representation being emotional release. I cried. The vibrational frequency of dolphin is known for its healing qualities. How wonderful it was for them to transit through at that moment. Cheering seemed perfectly appropriate. 

How many times have animals shown up to provide some kind of sign, support or to convey a message that you were ready to hear? Gratitude is the only way of acknowledging the nature of this connection. So simple. So real. So powerful. 

When doubt and fear attempt to get my attention, i think of dolphin and the power of manna; breathing my way through the bump to see the freedom on the other side.
