This is taken from a favorite associate, Jim McElwee:

“Today I’d like to talk about self confidence and its importance in the social hierarchy.  When you observe your family and friends interacting there is often an individual present who seems unconcerned of whether others are judging him or not and who clearly gets along without worrying about the small things that happen around them in a certain group.  This comes from two sources, one external and one internal.  Let’s explore the internal today.

An interesting exercise is to think to yourself in the quickest way possible to find a word that accurately describes you as a person in a short period of time.  Is the word a neutral observation?  If so, think about that neutral observation and see how you feel about it.  You’d be surprised how polarizing this can be for many people.  Even positive words can often be born out of a sense of desire rather than observation.  Take “confident,” for example.  Did that word pop into your head because you were feeling confident?  Or because you wanted confidence?  Was the word a physical feature you liked?  Or disliked?  Was it connected to something you’d like to accomplish?

Confidence is an incredibly important trait to possess, and the funny thing about it is it really does come from within.  Remember the analogy from last time about the mind as a garden.  Negative experiences that hurt our self confidence are like twisted vines that will try to choke out the good experiences.  And the good experiences can be multiplied by action.  If you’re talking to someone and you’re thinking the whole time subconsciously, “I don’t want to be rejected by this person,” they will pick up on it and wonder why you feel you should be rejected.  Occasionally these thoughts can be so strong that they can even bleed into the conscious.  We live in a society that thrives on apprehension and poor self image.  But if you can change that into strong self confidence, you’ll find that the less you worry about rejection the less you will experience it.  And when you don’t worry about it, even experiencing it won’t harm you as much as it once did.  Think of our entrainment therapy like a machine built by a skilled gardener to help remove this self doubt so you can start living the way you want.  You can always find our confidence boosting entrainment therapy at http://www.store. unexplainable.net/products/ confidence.php.  Check it out and live on your own terms.

Most communication happens on several levels.  On the level that we judge people most signs of self confidence are things that cannot be faked.  Aside from a few easy to see through “tricks” (men are told to take up as much space as possible while sitting, for example) there are no ways to truly pretend to be confident.  Imagine your voice like you’re singing a song.  A confident person will naturally hit the right notes that indicate they know what they’re doing.  If they are faking it, they will inevitably hit a false note and the facade will come crashing down.  The only way to truly achieve it is by feeling it first.

There’s no need for dehumanizing manuals that constantly remind you of things you hate, and that pretend that everyone in the world “gets it” except you.  Those manuals don’t know you and they don’t know anyone around you.  If you met some of the people who write those you would be surprised at how insecure they were too.  You do know what you’re doing.  And there’s no label hanging above your head.  Be who you want as soon as you’re ready to.

And that brings us to the most important change that must take place.  You must make a deeply rooted personal decision to be that confident person.  If you subconsciously feel like you deserve less than everyone around you, then you won’t change.  Make the change one of identity through visualization.  Imagine in your head a realistic version of who you’d really like to be.  Make this person real to you.  Give them hopes, aspirations, small victories, and a situation they can truly be proud of.  Don’t imagine the world around them changing to accommodate them.  Imagine them making changes to get what they want, and having a long term plan of where they want to go.  After visualizing it mentally, understand that you are your visualization.  Everything in them came from you.  And you can do everything they can with practice if you have a sense of self worth.

We’ve covered the internal aspects of confidence, but next time let’s take a look at some of the steps you can take on the outside to express your newly found confident self.  And remember, travel with a destination in mind.  Be confident, set goals, and achieve them.

Have a safe and enlightened journey!”

Start with imagining that you feel the way you’d like to feel.

Go into a pretending imagining place in your mind and imagine/pretend

that your life is the way you’d like it to be.
Get into an imagined, fantasy world in your mind.

Your mind cannot tell the difference between what you are thinking/imagining

and what is really taking place.

It responds to our imagination the same way it responds to what is

being thought or experienced.

This can be a stretch in the beginning.

As you get used to going into your imagination and experience releif and some pleasure,

you’ll find it easier to access this.

How would you feel if you had more than enough money?

What would you be doing?

Feel this and imagine it.
How would you feel if you were pain free?What would that feel like?

What would you be doing?
Feel it.
Feel it.

See it as if it were really happening and really real.
What makes you smile?

Think of what makes you smile.

Put a smile on your face.

This changes 8 hormones in your body and changes how you feel,

just by putting a smile on your face.
This is a place for you to start.
Continue to focus on how you’d like things to be, as if they are that way now.

Replace any other thoughts with these thoughts.

If your mind tries to take over…keep repeating. “I Love you,”  to yourself.

It keeps your mind, body and soul connected to Spirit

and fills you with feeling good emotions, releasing emotional pain and hurt from your body.

Yesterday is History.
Tomorrow is a Mystery.
And Today?

Today is a Gift…
That is why we call it the Present.

Be content with what you have;

Rejoice in the way things are.

When you realize there is nothing lacking,

The whole world belongs to you.

Allowing Yourself to Be Seen
- Ramshi, 12th Dimensional Master Geneticist / Universal Architect

With the shifting energy many of you are beginning new careers and jobs that are more in alignment with your higher self and life purpose. These jobs often blaze new trails. They challenge the established norm of how one is supposed to generate money and create. Because this is such a new feeling for many of you, you doubt your abilities. Many of these new jobs require you to learn new skills or rather utilize skills that have been lying dormant. You don’t “see yourself” as being qualified or having enough training or being “enough” of something (outgoing, creative, talkative, skilled, educated…) But we say this to you; once you acknowledge yourself and see yourself and all the many wonderful qualities you bring to the table, so will others for they mirror you and your belief system. If you require more clients, when you see you, so will they. You put out the “Open for Business” sign, so to speak.

Many of you worry about accreditation. “Do I have enough? I need more.” Much of what you pull into reality now is of a new vibration that does not have roots in the past (at least not the recent past), and therefore there is no accreditation. We ask you who did the accrediting in the first place? Those who managed along, finding their way, utilizing their inner judgment and guidance.

You will always attract to you the appropriate match. If you are a client who seeks a healer, you will find the one that is appropriate based on their vibration, not an accreditation. If you find yourself working with someone whose energy is not of the highest vibration, then you were not ready to be in that higher frequency. There is another lesson to learn. Through the Laws of Attraction and Resonance you always find the match or increase your vibration to match that which you seek. The fear that you will encounter a charlatan or that you will be perceived as such only occurs when a corresponding fear is present. As a Creator Being you manifest the experience to encounter the fear, observe it and release it. You are not a victim. As you see yourself in the driver’s seat, attracting the vibrationally appropriate people into your life, you breathe deeper as you no longer see yourself in the victim role.

All of you, without exception, have access to unlimited information. You have “soul training”, if you will. You need only raise your consciousness. We hear you all sighing and saying, “I’ve tried. It doesn’t work. I want to remember, but I can’t.” You can, but you process the information through different levels of your consciousness. Retrieving the “soul” information requires you to shift your brain waves into another frequency. This you do naturally throughout the day. As you understand how your brain functions you can learn to shift brain frequencies at will. Frequency ranges can be used like locks and keys. You can restrict access to information based on the selected frequency. The conscious mind has limited access to soul records so that a unique and limited perspective can create a filter for the current life from which to have experiences. Ah, the beauty of density! In no other dimension do you experience reality in such a way. See yourselves, dear ones. Acknowledge yourselves as Creator Beings, for that is what will be required to increase your vibration and manifest the life you dream of.

As many of you begin to recognize yourselves, you often trigger another fear, that of persecution. “If I am a light on the grid I will be extinguished.” Many of you are working on releasing and integrating those aspects of self that created a “victim” experience. Your history on the planet is riddled with persecution, judgment and ostracization and continues on today. But remember, dear ones, this is only a perception. When you place yourself firmly in the driver’s seat of Creation, you determine what occurs to you. It doesn’t happen upon you. As you hold more light and release fear, those of lower frequencies must match your frequency to be in your presence. Only through a vibrational match will you recreate the persecution, and in so doing, allow yourself an opportunity to see why you created it, how it was of service, and release judgment thus integrating the experience.

You have much support, dear ones. There are many of you who will stand and shine your light and who are currently doing so. Take heart in knowing you are not alone and that this will be your new way of being, standing in your full power as Creators. This is the game you have constructed for yourselves, and it is achieved through the process of ascension.

Embrace it. Enjoy it. Be it.

The following is taken from Agape’s newsletter. It’s wonderfully inspiring for all of us…

Rev. Michael Beckwith says that when you talk about what you can’t afford you are actually blaspheming God. He says the only thing you can’t afford is the luxury of a negative thought! (You’ve probably heard it before, but it bears repeating.) Beyond that, there is nothing that you can’t afford.

Here’s what you can afford! You can afford to pay attention to the new ideas that are coming forth through and as your true nature. You can afford to live your life fully, joyfully and completely.

You can afford to be compassionate, patient, forgiving and caring.

You can afford to be gracious, understanding, kind and generous. That’s right.

This only appears to be a dog-eat-dog, might-makes-right, my-way-or-the-highway kind of world. In fact, or in truth, it’s not the ‘world’ you’re living in! You live in a Universe that is friendly and supportive. Don’t believe me?

Bring your attention back to the Presence and see how It attunes you to Its vibration.

See how your Universe opens up for giving and receiving. See how your experience becomes an adventure in opportunities where you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain and to give.

You can afford the energy to exercise, excel and express.

You can explore, exalt and expand your horizons by enrolling in one of the exhilarating classes offered by the Agape University of Transformational Studies and Leadership.

The Rev says that a lie believed acts as a law until it is neutralized.

You are not too poor to pay attention to that which is real.

Neutralize the negative by accentuating the positive.

Say, “I stand in the awareness of plenitude. Life is for me.

I evict the thought that anything can be against me!!

I accept the thought that everything is working together for my good now!!”

Now you’re talking! Watch how what you affirm and accept for yourself becomes your life experience.

Where God left off, is  with brilliance, greatness and more-than-enough-ness poised to express as you.

Accept only suggestions of truth. Then go forth and multiply the consciousness. Or, as Rev. Michael puts it, “Run tell that!”

If you’ve yet to experience Agape, learn about this fabulous place of inspiration and truth.

It might be just what you  need to stay focused on and connected to your Higher Power in this world.

We are each seeking unconditional Love and acceptance in everything we do…whether we judge these actions as good, bad or indifferent. (It can be anything from giving Love to ourselves and others, acts of kindness, to distorted attempts to give ourselves self love such as over eating, drinking, drugs, additions, self sabotage).

We are souls in a human body. We are not a human body with a soul.

As we remember that as a soul, we are connected to the entire universe/God/Higher Self/Spirit/Source, which is all unconditional Love and acceptance.

So, as we are learning to give ourselves this unconditional Love and acceptance, we already have it from the Spirit. We are always connected to it, every minute, every second, every day and night.

We are always connected to it. We cannot be unconnected to it.

It is only because we become distracted from our connection to this unconditional Love and acceptance from Source/Universe that we feel unhappy, unloved, stressed, and all the other things that remove us from feeling good.

Know that you are Loved and accepted unconditionally in your life in every situation.

MAKE THE BEST USE OF YOUR TIME.

When we waste time, it causes us to look back on the year and wonder why

we don’t feel fulfilled or have the love, connections or career we want.

Time is precious. We don’t get wasted time back.

Figure out and decide what you really want. What is really important to you?

Do you want more time with friends? More time for self-care?

How about spending more time getting in tune with honesty?

Do you want to travel? Spend your time in an inspiring relationship?

Realize what it is you want to have in your life, then  make choices that move you closer to that.

Notice how you feel in each moment. We create our future in our moment to moment life from how we are feeling in each moment.

This is how you can tell if it feels right to stay in a situation or conversation; and when it’s time to move on.

And, as you get in touch with what you want, you can simply ask for it in your relationships, in your work, etc.

Rather than filling  your life with shoulds and supposed to’s, make the best use of your time and fill your life with all of what you want to have by making the best use of your precious time.

I read this on Facebook and wanted to share this great metaphor.

Author Unknown.

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives.

Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups – porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: “Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.

While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

The cup that you’re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate.

In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups.

They are just tools to hold and contain life.

The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate that God has provided us.

Our Divine creator makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups.

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have.

Live simply.

Love generously.

Care deeply.

Speak kindly.

And enjoy your hot chocolate!

If you realize that all things change,

there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

If you aren’t afraid of dying,

there is nothing you can’t achieve.

Lao Tzu

Acceptance.

You are who you are today as a result of all your past experiences. Even what you may see as a negative experience can be translated as a positive way to know things you’d otherwise not have the wisdom about today..

Knowledge cannot be discarded and it comes in all kind of shapes and ways, through experiences, insights and understandings.

Live life to the fullest knowing that you’re always a perfect spirit though you may encounter the weakness of the flesh from time to time.

Accept that today you’re whole, you’re well, you’re perfect., exactly as you are.

Let go of the judgement, the guilt, the pain. Heal through your tears, washing away the “stuff” that does not serve to promote your best self.

Put it all on a large barge, drifting off into the ocean, moving so far off into the distance that it disappears.

It is no longer a part of who you are. The wisdom and knowledge of the experience is there to serve you in self empowerment; helping others; becoming a stronger and more vital person and positive influence to the planet.

With acceptance and self love you can easily propel yourself forward to accomplish whatever it is you want to have in your life.

First, accept yourself, just as you are. This is the first and most important step to changing, growing, moving forward and becoming more of who you want to be and what you want to have in your life.

As we continue through the end of this year, leave behind all of the pain, guilt, sadness, anger, fear, anxiety in 2009.

Anxiety is often unexpressed pain. Stress is pain which is showing up in a different way.

Let’s Begin 2010 with a sense of clarity to bring to you exactly what you deserve…happiness, love, health, wealth, passion, joy, creativity, relationships, and anything else your heart desires for your good.

I share this with you today as a result of my own personal clearing process I have been heavily and deeply moving through these past 2 weeks. With the shifting of consciousness, the energy of our world, my own transformation into a clearer, being.

If you are experiencing similar things, dealing with anxiety, grief, high emotions, I can help you through it.

Leave it all behind and start 2010 with a fresh, focused you!

We manifest prosperity, health, love, etc coming from a place of peace within ourselves.

Our stuuf can often be in the way of bringing in all of our good.

Just              let                     it                           go                         now.
