I think what happened is that I got so frazzled by "Looking at What IS," that I couldn't figure out what I wanted, anymore. How could I teach you what I didn't really know? I think I've learned more about Manifestation - No longer calling it the "Law of Attraction," as that is... Basically misleading. There are many more than just One Law of the Universe. The Law of Attraction tried to consolidate, but when you try to practice it with one idea in mind... that just messes you up, out the gate. See! I Have Learned some things. Join me and I'll share. (Wow, how many years did I do this? BTR is listing Seasons? What do I do? WOW. I think I did this for... Looking back at my episodes, SEVEN YEARS? Well, Let's see if I can do it again! Maybe Better!

I think this restriction can help us be more mindful of our momentary thoughts and actions.  Nothing really goes away on the internet, so do we really want a constant and public reminder of a momentary notion that may no longer be true of our workplace, position or colleagues?

Let's look at that.  How much effort do we put into our work?  And with that effort, is it joyful or do you feel some resentment twoard the work because of the effort you put in?

What does that mean to you?  The advice is- Don't NEED to be there!   In relationships, the least happy, the least successful, tend to be when one person is too "Needy."  Needing puts a lot of strain on the person feeling the need AT LEAST As much as the person being needed.  I'ts incredibly stressful- I know this because I WAS that person!  I was very needy in my relationships.  It made things very uncomfortable because I was always trying so hard to make the other person like me and need me BACK!  It rarely worked. Now, apply that to your work environment and see how easy you feel thinking you NEED the thing you have- like there's NOTHING ELSE ON EARTH you can do or wher you can be.  Not very cozy, is it?

Well, We're back! I think I want to hold a focus, this year, and I probably said this before- I'll admit.  I want to develop a path for this show and I'm thinking of taking a cue from one of my quasi-mentors, Lilou Mace.  Lilou wrote a book journaling about how she manifests a job using the Law of Attraction.  I have a job, but I'm facing a similar issue to what prompted her- my job is... facing a transition.  I'm less certain what that transition might be than she was- she was "Made Redundant"- a term I'm assuming is Euro for "Laid Off" or "Downsized."  I'm, obviously, not familiar with that term- and it matters even less when EVERYONE does the SAME THING in the company you work for.  My current profession is a Security Guard posted at a place that is facing its own transition around the beginning of next year.  I could be posted to another facility as that happens, but what else could happen to me?  What would I want to have happen?  Do I enjoy security enough to continue along this path?  Do I feel ready for more?  Would I want that "More" within or away from my current employer? I know that I'm fortunate to have a job.  I understand this, but who doesn't want to be, do, or have more in their lives?  That's what this whole Law of Attraction thing is about!  But, even with something that can make the process of Job seeking or Career building easier, the whole thing is still daunting.   I'd like to see if I can help make such processes more palatable.  Applying the Law of Attraction is supposed to improve your life, whatever your goal- at this point, I'm not sure what my goal is, career wise.  So let's start with using the LOA to get an idea of the path and then how to clarify the path!  Please Join Me.  00:29:00AnOceanStatenoattitude outlook perspective,career employment job,hunt seek gather prowl,law of attraction totality of possibilities,life dream idealWell, We're back!

It's been Four years since I started this show and I think I lost track, a little, why I wanted to do this.  Well, Along with some revamping, I am going to examine why I wanted this and what feelings I was looking for- what was the All Important "Essence of What I wanted"?   I'm going to do this for one more year before deciding to continue this path or to take a different route on my journey.  I love sharing my insights, but I can't say I'm doing as well as I could.  I hope that some clarification might help.  I hope you'll join me.  00:29:00AnOceanStatenoattitude outlook perspective,gratitude thanks gratefulness receptivity,journey route path destination travel arrival,lesson assignment exercise practice,life dream idealI think it's easy to forget the Why.  It is, a little.  I mean, we may think of how it might feel to have what we want, but does that say we really know or undIn Your Place.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2013/03/24/in-your-placeLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2013/03/24/in-your-place/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2013/03/24/in-your-placeSun, 24 Mar 2013 17:00:00 GMTIn Your Place. I think part of what's been my problem with... well, EVERYTHING, is that I haven't paid much attention to where I am or how I am.  I have lived in a bit of fear for a while, just racing the clock and focusing on finances (Not so much PROSPERITY.)  And I realized why I'm not manifesting as well as I could be.   I haven't felt GROUNDED for a very long time.  There were points in my life when I would, but I guess I get shaken pretty easily.  I think I found a way to stabilize myself and be less shaken and flighty.   Nearly every Law of Attraction teacher talks about Energy and the Energy body.  I touch on these subjects because I want to speak to as broad an audience as I can- and maybe that was not the way to go.  And since I bought a book- one that I've wanted to buy for decades that FINALLY hit a sale price on AZKindle, a couple of weeks back- I've come to realize how important energy and the Energy body is.  Join me, today, and I'll explain more.   00:29:00AnOceanStatenoattitude outlook perspective,grounding balance stability sustainability,law of attraction allowing manifesting,energy light power force growth,life dream idealI think part of what's been my problem with... well, EVERYTHING, is that I haven't paid much attention to where I am or how I am.  I have lived in a bit of feaIf Only You Believed...http://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2013/03/17/if-only-you-believedLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2013/03/17/if-only-you-believed/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2013/03/17/if-only-you-believedSun, 17 Mar 2013 17:00:00 GMTIf Only You Believed... I remember a song from the 70's, maybe 80's that had that as a title.  I think it's appropriate because I want to explore how much we need other people to believe like us for what we want in our lives.   I started a Prosperity group in my Apartment block and I thought it would be a great place for us to get together and come up with ideas about how we can manifest more money.  Because I know I have a habit of trying to micro-manage such groups, I stood back and what I wanted didn't quite materialize.   But do I need other people to help me with Manifesting what I want in my life? Also, In Law of Attraction circles, We are advised to look beyond the circumstances that surround us, especially a "Tight Economy."  This tight economy is understood in LoA to be the result of a Collective Mindset that we want to do away with or, at the very least, break free from because the truth is that Prosperity surrounds us and is already ours.   Breaking free from the Collective Mindset is not always easy, but, studying the Law of Attraction and the people who promote and LIVE IT- we know that such breaks are possible!

I'd also love to have Money, though! But can there be enough of both?  Do you feel an Either-Or? Please, take a moment to join me for this! (Note: Meeting at church pushed the time back.

Not a bad idea, and WONDERFUL if you can get it! But I never really considered if I was so special to others.  I never thought about how I contribute to relationships- or if I wanted to have someone else do SO Much for me, enabling my notorious lazy streak! Where's the room to maneuver and grow?   Well, Let's explore these ideas, what true, "Perfect" Love is? and how do we bring it to us?  Do we have the right idea of what we want- do we have any idea, at all? I know I had a tendency to go where the wind took me.  Now, I think I'm about as open, but I have a better concept of what I want and need from a partner- as well as what I'm willing and able to offer!

I know I don't usually schedule shows so close to each other, but this was an interesting idea I've been playing with for some time.  After getting hooked on the Secret and learning about the Law of Attraction, subsequently learning Science of Mind, I came across a practice called "Visioning," Developed by a star of The Secret, Rev. Michael Beckwith.  It is a meditation that revolves around certain questions designed to pique your Inner Wisdom and see if it might offer you some particular insight into whatever subject you are focused on. I was rather hesitant to adopt this practice, it just seemed... too direct for me.  Like the Law of Attraction, however, I noticed that such introspective inquiry was actually quite common for me- just not in the way it was taught.   Great minds think alike- but not identically!  Admitt it, that would bore the crap out of us! I noticed the questions I've asked you all, this month, seem similar to Revrend Beckwith's practice as it was taught to me and I would love to get your insightson it, see if it has helped you, any.  I think it's been helping me- However hesitant I may be to admit it! ;b 00:30:00AnOceanStatenoaccept invite receive,development growth healing empowerment,practice,law of attraction visioning the secret,life dream idealQuite a title, wouldn't you say?

And if so, What?   Do you know what might be holding you back?  I think I know what it has been for me.  I wrote a journal entry/letter to me that discussed forgiveness and releasing the past- basically what I wanted to discuss in this episode, but it got very personal.  I'll try to go into it, some, but I'm not making promises! But we all have something that pecks at us to keep us in line with the external- despite our inner wisdom knowing something better awaits.  We also let things build against us- we might not see it that way, but that's usually what it is.  It's usually what's called a Victim Mentality or outlook.  It's more common than you might think.

Does the Law of Attraction need the Mystical element?  Do you need to believe in God or a Higher Power to use the Law of Attraction?  Can it be more along the line of "Self-fulfilling Prophesy?" It is said that Lynne Grabhorn, author of "Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting," approached Jerry and Esther Hicks about sharing the Teachings of Abraham, but modifying it by taking the Spirit essence out of it.  She nearly succeeds by focusing on the basics of the teachings- to find a better feeling thought.  She goes as far out of her way as possible to ix-nay the irit-spay.   Did she go too far?  It might appear so when you read further down the line of the "Excuse Me" series when Doreen Banaszak reintroduces the "Creative Companion" in "Excuse Me, Your Life Is Now!"  Does that mean that a spiritual element is necessary in order to effectively use the Law of Attraction? What if you don't believe in things like a Co-Creative Universe or Spiritual Beings- within or around you?  Is it enough to build your self-esteem and, thereby, a more attractive personality?  Is it enough to simply guide your thoughts and feelings to develop a radiantly positive outlook that makes life more manageable- if not more meaningful?

I got more sick than I think I've been in years.  I had a RAGING sore throat that is slowly fading- slowly.  I've been more tired, sluggish and moody since this struck.  What's worse is that I feel like I lost faith. I didn't, completley.  I had faith in myself and my body and did what I could to heal on my own (Though, when critical, I encourage seeking professional medical support.)  But it took my beloved Adam to get me realigned.   It wasn't until he made suggestions to me that I would make to him that I realized what I was doing to myself. I was very hard on myself for getting sick.  I even worked throughout my illness- not common for me.   Throughout my illness, I questioned all that has helped me heal and avoid getting sick.  I had believed that I would not get sick if I carried the right mindset- then it hit me and it seemed like my faith was rattled.  But I think there's something in the whole "Disease awareness" that I might have overlooked.   Let's see what that might have been.  Please join me. 00:31:00AnOceanStatenoLaw of Attraction Science of Mind Like Attracts Like,awareness consciousness enlightenment,illness disease depression stress,health hope vitality alive,life ideal dreamOh, did I have an experience, this week!

Snippet from the song, "Good Life" by One Republic.  This thing is my THEME SONG!  It is!  The song is about how fast and loose life on the road is- but they're on the road and they're loving it!  They're doing what they came here to do, it's a tricky life with a lot of travel and things going on- but this is what they wanted and this is what it takes to keep it going! I've gotten out of practice with visualizing and goal setting and allowing myself much in the way of cocreating my life- but I am NOT Going to blame anything.  I just have to get back to it! It's rediculously easy to complain about things.  Because it's so easy, it's the hardest habit to break.  Because we think it's good to vent- we can get to think it's even tougher. It isn't!  It's a choice.  It becomes a habit, but it begins by a choice.  We all have that moment between when someone asks us what's going on with our lives and what we end up saying to consider what we want said.  The habit we need to replace is just spewing our grievances.   How do we WANT to be?  I want to be happy and more energetic.  I know I won't get that if I claim for myself fatigue and strain.  Your whole being- and the connection you have with the Universe vibrates to the tune of what you claim for yourself.   Want to discuss it?  Join today- special time to coordinate with my rearranged schedule.  1PM 00:30:00AnOceanStatenojob employment work service,thought mind ideas conscious,drive ambition motivation,joy gratitude happiness,life goal ideal valueSnippet from the song, "Good Life" by One Republic.  This thing is my THEME SONG!  It is!  The song is about how fast and loose life on the road is- but they'rTaking Chanceshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/08/14/taking-chancesLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/08/14/taking-chances/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/08/14/taking-chancesSun, 14 Aug 2011 16:30:00 GMTTaking Chances One of my more recent favorite songs of Celine Dion, I'm taking chances on just GOING FOR MY GOAL.  I am considering either regular temping or getting a permanent job that I can do fairly well in general- and reaching for my writing dreams.   I am most alive when I write and when I talk about what I write.  Everything that I've ever studied on Law of Attraction, Science of Mind, EVEN BUDDHISM has said that a person needs to do what makes them feel special and joyous.  That's what I feel when I write.   I've not only been offered encouragement, Now, I have an AMAZING amount of support.   But now it's up to me...

I got to live it.   My would-have-been roommate got accepted to a university and she was no longer available to move into the 4 bedroom apartment.  A family of five was slated to move into the 3 bedroom at the top floor of the triple decker that is my apartment complex- I didn't see much logic to that and I didn't really think I had time to find a replacement roommate with whom I had as much ability to coordinate with.  I took the empty one bedroom and told the mother to take the 4 that I would move out of. I enjoyed the thing for as long as I had it.  And now I give it to those who can both afford it and fully appreciate it.  That is part of the lesson of non-attached wealth.   I want to share these insights and more with you, this afternoon.  I hope you will join me. 00:29:00AnOceanStatenomoving relocating transplanting,abundance wealth prosperity richness,release detach,law of attraction positive energy thought,life goal ideal valueIn a recent book group developed in my Center for Spiritual Living, we discussed wealth and non-attachment.  I was intrigued as this seemed right up my alley- cCareer Objective: Service.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/07/03/career-objective-serviceSpiritualityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/07/03/career-objective-service/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/07/03/career-objective-serviceSun, 03 Jul 2011 16:30:00 GMTCareer Objective: Service.

Living in this new apartment has seemed to burst open a "Vortex" for me, as the Abraham-Hicks Crew would put it.  And taking classes at my local Center for Spiritual Livng has broadened my perspective on the notion of connection between employment and money- one that might be holding a lot of LOA accolytes at bay from what they're reaching for.   I'm coming to some realizations about my goals for "Rewarding Employment by 2012" I think they are some things that I might have overlooked.  I am a lot less intimidated by certain avenues than I have been for the past two years.  Let me tell you about them...  Please join me. 00:39:00AnOceanStatenojob employment work service,map path trail route road avenue,drive ambition motivation,law of attraction positive thinking science of mind,life goal ideal valueWhat would I do if I didn't have to worry about money?  According to most Law of Attraction philosophies and the Science of Mind, Source is open to you and reaFinding Your Placehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/06/19/finding-your-placeSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/06/19/finding-your-place/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/06/19/finding-your-placeSun, 19 Jun 2011 16:30:00 GMTFinding Your Place I have an Apartment!  I haven't lived on my own in nearly a decade- IT FEELS FANTASTIC!!!  I'm not entirely on my own, but my roommate is doing her study thing at a location I intend to keep confidential.   I am LOVING My apartment!  I have so much to say about it- about how it came about and the ease of experiences I'm having within and around it.  I just so want to tell the world- but I'm not sure how much I should say.   I attracted this and it really is perfect for me.  It's Second Floor rather than third- which was the average of apartments I had checked on.  It is on a rather busy street- but not necessarily a main drag.  It's big, it's got a TUB!!!  (And a Kitchen, but I will delve into that, later.)  I'm surrounded by very interesting people AND TREES!

Well, It looks like I may be moving.  I mean, there's only so much that can stop me, now.  But I'm learning a bit along the way.  I've been telling you about this, rather peacemeal- honestly.   I'm learning that I might not be packing, yet, but I'm starting to realize exactly how much I'm taking with me.  Louise Hay always speaks of how you can get a new car, but still cling to the old beliefs and habits from the old car- and that any issues you've had generally have nothing to do with the car. I'm bringing me.  I have been known to be a bit... Whelming (maybe overly so.)   U2, one of my favorite music bands, had an album entitled "All that You Can't Leave Behind."  I think I'm coming to my own understanding of that phrase.   And I'd like to tell you about that. 00:30:00AnOceanStatenothought idea mindfulness,apartment living home,journey voyage,cooperation preparation initiation,life goal ideal valueWell, It looks like I may be moving.  I mean, there's only so much that can stop me, now.  But I'm learning a bit along the way.  I've been telling you about tPositive Apartment Huntinghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/05/01/positive-apartment-huntingSpiritualityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/05/01/positive-apartment-hunting/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/anoceanstate/2011/05/01/positive-apartment-huntingSun, 01 May 2011 16:30:00 GMTPositive Apartment Hunting Now, more than ever, do I need to employ the Abraham-Hicks process of "Positive Aspects."  I am going into this move looking at all the things that Jas and I DON'T WANT, rather than what we want. Well, of course, there's a mix of the two, in the beginning.  But I think we- well, I know that I- have reached a stage where all we're looking at is what we DON'T want in a living space. And that is also leading to some unfavorable situations surrounding the apartment hunt.  We've conflicted, slightly, in certain areas and our work situations- that we are not looking at very favorably or forgivingly, to begin with- seems to be one of many things getting in our way.   It's just that we're in a rather unusual place for what we're looking to do.  It's strange for people in our situations to believe that we can have what we want.   Let's discuss.

I know what you might be thinking- I need to finish school and get a more stable work situation before I can think about that!  I would usually agree with that assesment- however! Jas and I have found ourselves in some pretty deep ruts where we are and really want to take some initiative in our lives.  We work well together: She motivates me to get my writing dreams off the ground (the notion that I would need extra money for my own place does that, too!)  and I help keep her on track through her goals.   And we both want to work this apartment hunt in a Law of Attraction BLITZ!  We're going to do visualization and affirmations, we're going to plan and buzz, we already act like we live together!  I think we're well on our way!   But Let's discuss!  How else can we trick this out, LoA style? 00:30:00AnOceanStatenoaffirmation intention prayer,apartment living home,drive ambition motivation,search seek hunt,life goal ideal valueWell, my dear friend, Jasmine, and I had discussed this for a little while, but now, we're making it real- We're getting an apartment.

My set point has changed, as well, since I set my intentions for the year. I've noticed a lot of things coming to me, many great ideas- including an expansion for this show!

Or do they? If you're Affirma-phobic, you've come to the right place. We'll see how we can use Affirmations to start making our own magic.

In terms of Law of Attraction- which I haven't learned about until much later- I was very resistant to learning things like math and science and resistant to the long, drawn out speeches of my teachers. I was a daydreamer and always thinking about other things to do. Part of the spark of this show and the adjacent blog is that I'm sharing the experiences I have with RESISTING the good premised by the Law of Attraction. I share my ideas and the ways that I work with, through and around my points of resistance. I'd like to share how I came to this concept.

I think it's because of the summer and all the nice, sunny weather. In any event, There are some aspects to goal setting that still elude me. Many teachers of "The Secret" and other Law of Attraction proponents advise followers to seek out like-minded people for what's called a "Master Mind" or "Dream Team," basically a think-tank and cheer squad for you and your goals. I'm not quite as social as I was a few years ago, try as I may to keep that spunk. Can I go it alone? How do I build a team? How do I handle resistance from those closest to me that I might want to include?

According to LAW of ATTRACTION (LoA,) it helps to look at it as an energy more than an item. And it helps to understand how you feel about that energy, as well as other forms of energy- That it comes easier the easier you feel about it and about what you do to get it. I find that, even with increasing ease I get from this type of concept, I still get confused and hesitant in the area of Money. So let's see what we understand of as well as how we feel about Money and how we can feel easier about it.
