In One Lifetime 2007-01-24 01:48:34 I was reflecting last night on how much change it’s possible to go through in a lifetime. What got me thinking about this was the always-fascinating subject of…sewers! Some background is called for, I think.
I remember being at Bob Frager’s house in Los Altos around 1977 or ‘78. I was teaching a summer class [...] Read more:Lifetime
A Day of Pure Magic 2007-01-21 21:09:13 My birthday began at 4:30 a.m., when our cat, Lucy, walked leisurely over my sleeping body and snuggled up beside me. She began purring at a robust volume that permeated my sleep, first in the form of a dream that I was picking up the first signals of a coming earth change. Maybe I was, [...] Read more:Magic
Big Questions 2007-01-19 05:29:08 Many of you, like me, are connoisseurs of questions. I’m always on the lookout for a new question I can apply in times when I’m having trouble making a decision or when I’m stuck on some problem I can’t figure out. I came across a business book recently, written by investment guru Ken Fisher, that [...]
TLC 2007-01-13 13:49:20 Katie and I are in Tucson at a meeting of the Transformational Leadership Council, a group originally put together by Jack Canfield. In the beginning there were only a dozen or so of us, small enough to meet at his house. Now we have grown in numbers so that we meet in hotels and conference [...]
5 Things 2007-01-08 23:55:35 I’m “it” (according to Tyler,http://www.ojaiblog.com/2007/01/5_things.html, who tagged me as such; I always dreamed of someday being ‘it’, but never dared dream it would happen so soon…)
So, 5 things about me…
1. I grew up in the swamplands of Central Florida, where my grandparents had carved a homestead out of the jungle around 1900. They contended with [...]
Travel Magic 2007-01-06 08:19:12 I have had some amazing experiences in airports and airplanes, and yesterday was no exception. More about that in a moment.
What is it about airports and flying that turns up the volume on life? Travel
ing can cause more bone-weary fatigue than just about anything. As my brother puts it, “4 hours on an airplane is [...] Read more:Magic
My Favorite Books 2007-01-06 02:12:04 While we’re in the process of building the webpage from which some of our favorite books can be downloaded, I’d like to pass along the list so you can know what they are (and get them from elsewhere if you’re inspired to read them sooner.)
1. The Lazy Man’s Guide To Enlightenment by Thaddeus Golas. The [...] Read more:Favorite

Wondering 2007-01-03 19:44:45 I received a quotation from Rob Brezsny today. If you don’t know Rob, you’re in for a major treat. Explore his work at www.freewillastrology.com and by reading his great book, Pronoia. The quote he sent is from the poet Delmore Schwartz:
“Love is the most difficult and dangerous form of courage. Courage is the
most desperate, admirable, [...]
Un-Manifesting 2007-01-03 19:06:41 As the new year begins, it’s a good time to place requests not only for what you want to create, but also what you’d like to un-create and allow to disappear from your life. Last night I received a long, beautifully-written email from a woman who has been struggling with chronic pain. She was asking [...] Read more:Manifesting
New Year’s Day manifestation notes 2007-01-02 03:33:23 Our New Year
’s Day began with a 45-minute iChat (for non-Mac-people, that’s a videoconference tool which, unlike some I’ve tried, actually works) with Elsie and Imogen, our two granddaughters. The girls live in France with our son, Chris, and his wife, Helen. The girls are two of the smartest, funniest, nicest human beings on the [...] Read more:manifestation
Report from Bangkok 2007-02-08 03:43:20 Katie and I got to Bangkok
late last night, after a stopover in Tokyo. It’s common to start out travel reports with something like “Bangkok has changed dramatically since last time I was here…” but since I’ve never been to Bangkok I’m not going to do it like that. How about “I have no idea [...]
It’s a jungle out here 2007-02-12 02:12:45 Resting up today after two very intense days of exploring the ancient ruins in and around Angkor Wat. One thing Katie and I were amazed by is the similarity between the ruins here and many of the Mayan sites we’ve visited. It’s almost as if some kind of awakening happened on both hemispheres at the [...]

Third Way Taxi Ride From Hell 2007-02-19 18:10:08 You’ve probably read in earlier posts or in our books about what we call the Third Way of making magic happen in the world. The First Way is through acts of conscious imagination, such as visualizing or using affirmations. The Second Way is through loving things as they are, which then opens a space to [...]
Musings of a recovering psychotherapist 2007-02-21 08:30:08 Being on a variety of time-zones recently in our round-the-world trip, I find myself waking up at odd hours with various creative musings going on in my head. On one of these midnight-muse sessions I was thinking about something I started in grad school thirty-some years ago. In our clinical/counseling psychology training we had to [...] Read more:Musings
Honesty on the border 2007-02-28 17:13:04 Coming back into the US through customs/immigration at LAX, we saw and then experienced the rewards of honesty in the real world. The rules say you have to declare if you’re carrying more than $10,000 cash, and they also say you have to declare if you’ve got more than $1000 worth of stuff you bought [...] Read more:Honesty
Time (For A Change) 2007-02-28 14:14:58 I’ve loved watches since I was a kid. One of my very best moments in childhood was the day I got a wristwatch for my sixth birthday. Since then I’ve collected all sorts of watches, both antique and new (and I still have the $2 Benrus I got for that magical sixth birthday!) I’m [...] Read more:Change
Einstein’s Secret 2007-02-27 19:57:03 The subtitle of my eBook spells out the promise of embracing Einstein
Time: How To Get Twice As Much Done In Half The Time, And Have a Good Time Doing It
Would you like to get more done without ever feeling busy or pressured?
Would you like to have plenty of time to do the creative projects [...]
EINSTEIN TIME 2007-02-27 15:58:19 As promised, here’s a bite-sized excerpt from the eBook I’m working on. I started writing the book in response to a question I’ve been asked countless times over the years: How do you get so much done without ever looking like you’re in a hurry? As I pondered the question, I realized I made a [...]
“Got a minute?” he asked me. 2007-02-27 15:50:57 “No,” I said, “but I’ll manufacture one for you right here on the spot.”
He also said “Sorry to bother you. You’re probably in a hurry.” To this I replied “Actually, I haven’t been in a hurry in so long I can’t even remember what it feels like. And as far as being bothered, well, I [...]
The Newtonian Time-Trap 2007-03-02 16:55:42 The Newtonian Time-Trap In Detail
Sir Isaac Newton, one of my scientific heroes, figured a lot of stuff out that nobody could fathom. It’s hard for us to imagine a time when people couldn’t figure out why apples fell out of trees and hit the ground rather than disappearing with a whoosh upwards into the sky. [...]
The Hazards Of Clinging To An Outmoded Paradigm 2007-03-01 14:07:16 In earlier posts I opened up a discussion of time, based on a new eBook I’m working on called EINSTEIN TIME. My intention is to show how an outmoded time paradigm costs us money, puts a crimp in our manifestation flow and makes us sick. My ultimate intention is to how the new paradigm I [...] Read more:Hazards

Time-Crunch 2007-03-03 16:41:08 At the heart of the Newtonian time-crunch is a dualistic split: It deludes us to think that time is “out there,” an actual physical entity that can put pressure on us “in here.” That’s ridiculous, of course, but try to tell that to a patient in a cardiologist’s office. As Meyer Friedman, [...] Read more:Crunch
Where Time Comes From 2007-03-07 02:50:23 Becoming a master of time is about taking ownership, ending the duality of you and time. When you switch to Einstein-Time, you take charge of the amount of time you have. How do you do this? By becoming one with time. You heal the dualistic split embedded in the Newtonian relationship with [...]
Time Problems Are Really A Space Problem 2007-03-11 04:50:22 When you’re running on Einstein Time, your experience of time changes because you make a fundamental change in how much space you are willing to occupy. By learning to occupy space in a new way, you actually gain the ability to generate more time.
Here’s a practical example:
Recall Einstein’s colloquial explanation of relativity: An [...] Read more:Space

Have You Got Up And Down Backwards? 2007-03-28 19:00:59 I was musing recently with Kathlyn about how much trouble we human beings cause for ourselves for mistaking up and down for in and out. There really isn’t any such thing as up and down, although it’s easy to see why we get it wrong. When you jump “up,” you’re really aiming your head out [...] Read more:Backwards
Excuse Me, May I Borrow Your Persona For A Moment? 2007-03-27 16:18:55 You’re probably familiar with the notion of personas. Everybody’s got a few, although most people probably don’t realize the personas they’re wearing are actually personas. For example, if you’ve been wearing a Shy Kid persona since you were in kindergarten, you may as an adult actually think you’re shy. You may not realize that it’s [...] Read more:Excuse

Got Time For A Punch-Line? 2007-04-16 14:07:16 My blog readers have been chiding me lately for not posting more entries.

The Question 2007-04-19 14:35:45 To start generating an abundance of time, forget about time for a moment. Instead, ask yourself this question:
Where in my life am I not taking full ownership?
Another way to ask it is: What am I trying to disown?
A positive way to ask the question is: What aspect of my life do I need to [...] Read more:Question
