I have a friend, Tony Burroughs, who created The Intention Process, and an organization called “Intenders of The Highest Good” over a dozen years ago. That Process has since resulted in Intention Groups all across this country, and around the world.

I’ve always enjoyed Tony’s work and I was excited to hear from him that he has just written a new book called “The Law of Agreement”, which is only available in downloadable eBook form at the incredible price of just $5.95. I personally purchased it a few days ago, read it immediately, and I highly recommend it to all of my subscribers.

Here is what Tony wrote in his recent newsletter:

Just released today, The Law of Agreement by Tony Burroughs is superfood for the mind and written from the heart. We are proud to be offering it in a 120 page Ebook format for a short time for $5.95 with the intention that some of you will review it and provide us with testimonials for the hard copy when it comes out.

You can receive your Ebook immediately by visiting Our Intenders Shopping Cart and scrolling down slightly.

An Excerpt from The Law of Agreement

A lot of people nowadays are talking about the Law of Attraction and the Law of Allowing, however there is another Law which also begins with the letter A that is just as important – and yet, we in the Intenders are among the very few who are even talking about it. It’s called the Law of Agreement and, simply put, the Law of Agreement says, agreement reinforces reality. Said another way, your agreement with any belief or idea makes it stronger.

We can easily see how this works by looking at an example. If, for instance, one person believes it’s a good idea for all of us to go jump off of a cliff, well, then it’s not very likely to happen. If, however, 100 people agree that it’s a good idea to jump off a cliff, then the idea gets a little stronger. Taken a step further, if, enough people – say, 100,000 people – agree that cliff jumping is a great idea, pretty soon we’re all standing in line at the edge of the cliff waiting our turn to jump.

It gets even more interesting when we stop to consider that every belief system we have exists only because we agree on it. Indeed, our agreements are the building blocks of our realities; they are the very foundation upon which our beliefs are built. Not one belief, large or small, would exist for long without our agreement to it . . .

Put still another way, your agreement is your point of power, and you can add to or weaken any idea or commonly held belief simply by making a choice. We have with us, in each moment of our lives, the ability to discern – to decide whether something is working for us or not – and to choose to agree with it and make it stronger, or to say, “Hey, I don’t think it’s such a good idea for us to jump over that cliff. In fact, cliff jumping never really got us anywhere in the past and it doesn’t look remotely like it’s going to give us the results we’re looking for in the future. I think I’ll pass!”

From Richard: I have no involvement financially in this publication, and my only ‘Intention’ is to get this valuable information out to everyone who can benefit from it.

Many Blessings,

There is a change, a Shift under way that is affecting every aspect of our third dimensional reality. This Shift is so far-reaching that our limited imagination cannot begin to grasp the transition and change we are now in the midst of experiencing. This Shift is affecting every aspect of life on the planet; political, social and economic structures, the environment, every institution, the wars, how we view our relationships, our work, every thought we think and every feeling we feel. It is altering Time, our memory, our DNA, the wiring of our physical and emotional bodies, our beliefs, our perceptions of good and bad, right and wrong and especially our awareness of what is possible.

The Shift is composed of huge waves of Light which hold massive amounts of information and instructions. These waves are re-wiring our DNA, upgrading the body’s physical, emotional and mental systems. These waves of Light are activating the fourth and fifth dimensional chakras, aligning us with a higher awareness. This Shift is providing new understandings of how to once again live in harmony with each other, the environment and All That Is. However, between this new “Heaven on Earth” and where we currently exist, there is transition.

The Transition
This transition, as exciting and wonderful as it is, is creating difficulties for many. These difficulties are occurring as this pace quickens, and we continue to hold our third dimensional beliefs and habits as truths. We continue to argue for the right and wrongs, judge others for their actions or fix them because “we know better.” These actions belong to the third dimension and they must be released. As long as we continue to hold these limitations, we will experience the affects of this Shift within our physical and emotional bodies. These affects are known as Ascension Symptoms.

Symptoms, such as,, dizziness, confusion, loss of focus, headaches, fatigue, digestion discomfort, anxiety, etc. You may be experiencing Time going faster. There is more on your plate and less time to complete it. You may be losing aspects of your memories (no, it’s not Alzheimer’s). Things that were once very important are no longer as important. And most of us are feeling a heightened sense of distraction coupled with an emotional sense that something is just not right. As we argue for our limitations and hold on to the old beliefs which no longer support us, we create a resistance or blockage within our four-body system creating these discomforts. The third dimensional reality as we have known it is shifting. It is becoming far more grand, aligned and balanced, moving into a Higher Consciousness. Humanity is waking up and as it does, the old structures that have supported duality, maintained separation and have controlled the masses with fear are crumbling.

As this new Light finds it way into every corner of darkness, those that live within the darkness are beginning to recoil, react and become very noisy. They will scream the loudest to maintain the status quo. They are creating imbalance, wars, economic failures and many other distractions to prevent this Shift from occurring. They will, for a short time, become very loud, generating much fear in their attempt to avoid this Shift. As this new Light flows within each of us, we are now receiving new information, opportunities and choices which were not available to us in the past. These choices are now allowing each of us to step out of the fear, distraction and separation. By grounding, realigning your energy fields, stabilizing your attention point and focus, you will keep the bodies safe, successful and happy during the transition.

Grounding

Grounding is something almost everyone has considered. But grounding is not a thought; it is an action, a tool to dissipate noisy thoughts, anxiety and undesirable emotions that run through our bodies. If you would close your eyes and in your imagination create an image of a beam of Light, a line of energy, a tree trunk, a pipe or a chain. Just pretend. Then connect one end to the lowest tip of your spine, the first chakra. Feel the connection. Make this real. Then drop the other end of the line to the center of the earth. The center of the earth is not very far away. See the line of energy strongly connect to the center of the earth. With your imagination reach down and tug on both ends and feel the connection. Now, expand the line to about eight inches in diameter and give it the command to activate and become magnetic. Take a breath and notice the relaxation.

The command to activate allows the grounding line, a natural part of your body’s operating system, to release thoughts and emotions that do not belong to you, but constantly affect you. These thoughts and emotions flow through the unprotected energy field, stimulating emotions, creating reaction and discomfort. Interestingly, the majority of thoughts you think belong to the world surrounding you and have very little to do with you at all. But once they are in your space they create a distraction, distort your attention and direct your life. Grounding minimizes this noise.

The Octahedron

Surrounding you are a number of energy fields, one of which you know as the aura. The aura gathers, retains and files every thought, word and action that occurs within, through and around you.  In other words it holds a lot of information, much of which has very little to do with you. This energy field is also an antenna. It attracts frequencies of thought. If you can manage the antenna, you can manage what the antenna attracts. Constructing this antenna around you creates a powerful energy field which aligns with the information of the Shift and your own internal guidance system. In Sacred Geometry there are five forms known as Platonic Solids which hold unique characteristics. One is the Octahedron. It is one four-sided pyramid pointing up with a second four-sided pyramid connected at the base and pointing down.

Find a point about two feet in front of you and, with your imagination, place a dot there. Then place another dot two feet directly behind you and two more dots, two feet to the left and right of you. Place a dot about two feet above your head and another below your feet. Six dots.

This is an experiential, not a mental, exercise. Feel each of the dots and see them with your imagination. Now, from the point above your head draw four lines connecting to the four dots surrounding you. Then connect each of those four dots creating a four-sided pyramid. See it. Feel it around you. Next, from the point below your feet, draw four lines connecting up to the four dots surrounding you. This will create a sense of containment. This containment is not a wall or a defense system; it is a safe vessel that allows you to move around without becoming affected by the noise. It is also an antenna, which aligns with the Light and Infinite Intelligence being transmitted during this Shift. The Octahedron creates an alignment with all that you are and simply filters out that which you are not.

Experience and play with these  tools. As simple as they are, they will alter your conscious reality and allow you to enjoy the unfolding Shift.

From Richard: I hope you find this useful. If I can support you in any way on your journey, please let me know.

The following just came to me from one of my teachers, Marshall Vian Summers, and the wonderful people at The Society for The Greater Community Way of Knowledge.

“Sharing The Meaning of Christmas”

A Timeless Message

We at The Society would like to make available to you a timeless message for all seasons delivered in a state of Revelation to Marshall Vian Summers in 1994, a message that transcends our usual associations with all of the holy days and presents the Greater Community perspective on The Meaning of Christmas.

“This is the meaning of Christmas. It is not the glorification of an individual. It is the recognition of a real relationship—the relationship of individuals with Knowledge within themselves, their relationship and their intrinsic bond with the Unseen Ones, their relationship with humanity and their affinity with life.”

✦✦✦

“Only Knowledge has the strength to move other minds.
Only Knowledge has the potency to create a lasting impact.
Only Knowledge can foster good and good intentions.
Only Knowledge can counteract fear and hostility.
Only Knowledge can bless the world.
Your promise, then, is to become a man or a woman of Knowledge,
a vehicle for Knowledge,
a person through which Knowledge can speak, act and move,
a bringer of Grace.

Here you become a person of action who can effect change,
but with a greater spirit,
who can speak the truth,
but with a greater authority,
and who can reveal error,
but with a greater compassion.
Only Knowledge can do this because
Knowledge is the source of these great expressions.”

From The Meaning of Christmas booklet

✦✦✦

We invite you to bring something new to your experience of this season of the year by setting aside a special time in quiet, perhaps with another person you know, someone who is also responding to the call of a different way and who is seeking something greater.  Create a time and place. Light a candle. And read this inspiring message together.

If you resonate with this message, you may find yourself, like us at The Society, incorporating the oral reading of The Meaning of Christmas as a yearly ritual to be shared.

✦✦✦

From Richard: I’m sending you Love and Many Blessings at this time of Peace, Gratitude, and New Beginnings.

A number of my clients have recently asked me if there are any good books I might suggest to them. Here is one book that I am presently reading, and will re-read again soon. It is called:

“Wisdom From The Greater Community – Volume 1″ by Marshall Vian Summers

The sub-title of the book is: “How to Live with Certainty, Strength & Wisdom in an Emerging World”, If  you are interested in moving more toward your unique purpose, meaning, and direction in the world, I recommend you check it out.

The book contains a chapter on each of 35 different life areas, and I need to tell you that the teachings directly challenge many of society’s traditional belief systems and assumptions about life and purpose. The book is not for everyone, though I was sufficiently impressed to purchase other writings of his. One of them is a book called “Steps To Knowledge” which is 365 lessons, designed to be read and studied, one page daily, over the course of a year.

Note that none of these books are related to any particular existing religion so don’t let that be a concern for you.

Check out “Wisdom From The Greater Community – Volume 1″, which is available through amazon.com and also through many other booksellers. You may click on any of the titles above for more information. Prepare to be shaken up a bit, in a positive way.

Love and Blessings,

Last weekend I watched a 1997 film called Deja Vu. This was not the action film with Denzel Washington, nor one of the other similarly titled movies. This Deja Vu was directed by Henry Jaglom and it is a real gem.

Very briefly, the storyline involves two people, one married and one about to get married, who meet by chance and are instantly attracted to each other on an extremely deep level. Without giving away too much here, the movie explores the nature of the ‘commitments’ we make in life, what we are committing to,  and the ‘choice points’ where we have an opportunity to re-evaluate those choices and possibly change our life direction.

I’m sure that the film is available for rental in many video stores that have a ’spiritual film section’. I do know the film is also available on Amazon, and many of the other movie clubs, such as Netflix.

This movie was a joy to watch, and I highly recommend it to you.

Love and Blessings,

The other day I was led to Zoë Westhof’s website. Zoë is a writer living in Thailand. Part of her passion is supporting other writers, artists, and creatives through her blog.

Among her offerings is a lovely free 30-page booklet called “How to Make Your Own Creative Mini-Retreat”.

You don’t need to consider yourself a creative at all to benefit from this great resource. No matter what you do in life, I recommend this resource to give yourself a soothing break and more personal nourishment in your life. Something we all need more of at this time.

In recent weeks I have been drawn to the work of Burt Harding, in Vancouver BC, who I consider to be one of the most down to earth and clearly understandable teachers of non-dualistic awareness.

If you are clueless as to meaning of non-dualistic awareness, as I myself was, here is my rather simple (and perhaps simplistic) definition of Nonduality. It is the state or condition of not being separate and distinct even if appearing to be so. It is the condition which allows us to say that there is no true separation between ourselves and anyone else or anything else in the world, for instance. When we say things like “We are all one,” or “God is in all things,” we are asserting that the presence we call ‘reality’ is a nonduality.

Why is this even important? Because, as a culture, most of the world looks at life from a perspective of separateness, and most of us believe that happiness and fulfillment are totally dependent on outside things, events, and people. None of that is the truth. Consequently there is great unhappiness in our lives and the lives of those around us. Much of my emotional healing work with my clients involves helping them to release and heal the dualistic limiting beliefs that were inherited in childhood.

The more that we accept our connection to God, to each other, and to All of Life, the more our lives begin to come into true alignment with who we really are.

If you would like to see and hear a free 10 minute video portion of one of Burt Harding’s Satsangs (spiritual talks), visit YouTube site by clicking on “Living The Obvious”

Once you are at YouTube there are also many other talks of his that you can watch at no cost.

If you then wish to listen to full length audio MP3’s, on specific subjects,  you can purchase and download them at Know Yourself. The cost is approximately $7 per one-hour recording. I particularly recommend his talks on “Listening with Heart” and “The Secret to Clear Seeing”, but follow your own intuition and you can’t go wrong.

Many Blessings,

Recently I facilitated one of my most timely and relevant healing audio experiences. There were 200 people registered for this event, and over 100 people on the live call. Now, as promised, the MP3 Audio is available to download for only $9.95. Once you download the audio, it is yours to play on your computer anytime you wish, or you may copy it to a CD, or you may download it onto any MP3 player (like an I-Pod).

Healing High Anxiety: Moving Into Alignment with your Highest Self. MP3 audio available for instant download.

Cost: $9.95

Here is what one person wrote me afterward:

“Beloved Richard, Thank you, thank you, thank you. The call was wonderful, as I knew it would be. And you did hit on exactly what I needed help with … I’m looking forward to the mp3, to run thru the process again.”

Mary in NJ

Whether you were on the original call, or you are just hearing about it now, the advantage of having this audio is that you can re-experience the healing session whenever you wish, and you can use it to release any anxiety or to manifest any new reality, now and in the future. It is a wonderful, inexpensive, and powerful healing resource.

Class Description:

If you read or listen to the media, you cannot avoid the increasing energy of fear and anxiety that is being promoted on the planet. We are experiencing a troubled economy, turbulence in our personal finances, and our relationships are being shaken up in many areas.

This group session is a totally experiential process for your healing and transformation. All you need to do in order to benefit fully is simply listen and follow along as I guide the group through several different processes. The result for you will be a much better understanding of the events impacting your personal life, and more importantly, at the conclusion of the call you will have released and healed much of the turbulence you may now be feeling.

We are indeed going through a time of great change and restructuring on the planet right now. We are seeing this playing out all around us and in our personal situations. In truth, we are moving out of an old paradigm of illusion, separation and control, and we are moving into a new paradigm of personal responsibility, higher consciousness, connectedness, and trust. This is the beginning of a wonderful ascension.

It is all good. The challenge for us is that we have no real understanding of what is happening nor what we need to do in our lives to come fully into alignment with this emerging paradigm. This experiential session will help greatly with better understanding what is happening, while we energetically release the fears and anxiety, and then begin to magnetize into our lives all the good that is available to us. The result will be a much greater sense of peace, safety, and well-being, and an increased ability to make the changes in our lives that we know we need to make.

This is the first live group healing call I have offered in 2009 and I have facilitated this session because I’m called to be of service. It is your opportunity to receive a session of deep healing release, and a magnetizing of all the good that is available to us.

Here is another comment received:

“Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your gift of healing yesterday. I definitely will purchase the recording.” Tina in Massachusetts

Everyone listening will be guided though this healing work simultaneously. Bring your personal challenges to the call and release the underlying cause that has seemingly kept you from making needed changes in your life.

The healing session will close with a special group magnetizing and manifesting process, to create exactly what you want in your life to replace what has just been released.

In addition to the above, at the beginning of the session there is a spontaneous short message my Guides and my Higher Self.

Pre-class instructions are included with the download and you will have everything you need to receive the full benefits of this experience.

Please pass this information on to anyone you feel might benefit.

I look forward to sharing this healing work with you soon.

A third comment after the call:

“Thank you very much for the deep understanding and healing I received on your call last Saturday. I felt safe, loved, in alignment, and in great peace. I am still experiencing a profound state of gratitude, and joy. Thank you again,”

Tara A.

Many Blessings,

I am now combining my newsletter subscriber list and my blog subscriber list into a single list.

In order to accomplish this I must add all the present blog subscribers (YOU) to the newsletter subscriber list through my hosting company, aWeber. According to aWeber’s anti-spam policy, if you are not already on the newsletter list, you will receive an email within the next 24-48 hours asking you to confirm that you want to be on this list. If you DO receive such an email, in order to remain a subscriber of mine, you MUST confirm by clicking on the simple link in their email.

I’m sorry for this inconvenience, but I have no way to bypass their requirement that you re-confirm.

If, however, you do not receive such an email in 24-48 hours, it means that you are already on both lists and there is absolutely nothing you need to do. You will continue to receive my new publication as usual.

Thanks so much for your help and understanding.

Many Blessings,

Richard
