When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn’t flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.
It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.

The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw ‘G: I thought of God, followed by ‘u’ and ‘i’.
‘God, ‘u’ and ‘i’ dance’ God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God’s blessings
and mercies be upon you on this day and everyday.

May you abide in God as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.

This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life,
please share this message with someone else,
for prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
so let’s continue to pray for one another !
And I Hope You Dance

Not finishing

Not starting

-Buddha

Many people stop just before the diet really works or right before they finish a project that could lead them to a new sense of accomplishment. It is too easy at times to walk away and “get by” with just enough at the end of the day rather than asking ourselves, “Did I give this day, this moment, this relationship, this patient all I have”…..I realized a number of years ago when I would see someone for counseling that they would talk about every subject in the world…until we got to the last five minutes and then they would start addressing the real issues.

Don’t wait in your life, at your work, with your friends or colleagues for t he last five minutes. Be dedicated to be authentic and give all that you can in this moment. When you are at work…focus your attention there, when you are with your child do not think about work….being present is so crucial to benefiting from the magic that lives right now…

Nike expressed the concept best when their advertising campaign stated, Just Do It! Get started on that dream, the letter, the yard, the great things you are waiting to have happen….break your projects into tiny ones…in other words rather than waiting a day to read a good book…read a chapter a day….you can read a few books a year this way versus never reading at all. Instead of waiting to redo your home…do one area at a time….remember to keep it simple….if we make a new idea overwhelming we will not start it…or if we do….we will not finish it.

If the true intention is to feel better about yourself….then make sure what you are finishing or what you are starting falls into that paradigm.

Sending you the energy of Love, Joy and Abundant Blessings.

There were four college students at N State. All four of them had an A in Chemistry and the exam was coming up on Monday. And they got in this place of feeling very confident and knowing that they knew it all, and so rather than studying for the weekend they decided to go out and have a great big hearty party.

And so this is what they did, and coming back Monday they were way too late, they’re not prepared, so they’re thinking ‘Ok well let’s go tell the professor we’re not going to take the exam today but we need to tell him something.’ And they said, “Well, we were spending the weekend visiting someone that needed our help and on the way back we had a flat tire.”

And the professor said you know, no problem. I’ll let you take it this afternoon, come back at 3 o’clock. And so all four guys show up promptly at three o’clock and he takes them each into a different room and they start the exam. And they look at the exam and for the first page it says, for 5 points – and it asked a certain question about chemistry and they thought ‘This is going well, no problem, we know this answer.’ Then they turn over to the second page, ‘for 95 points, which tire was it?’

The moral of the story is, 5 points in life is what we know, 95 points is what we do with what we know. Isn’t that the truth?

Many times people are looking for that spiritual enlightenment and they’re looking for that arrival place, that—“I’m at that destination now.” Where, spiritual wholeness is the acceptance that we’re learning each and every day. We get 5 points here, we have an awareness. We’re learning something new with a relationship, we have 5 more points and we have an awareness. What is that little statement on top of the refrigerator that says ‘It’s what I learned after I thought I knew it all that counted’?

And so when we look at and work with the concept in spiritual expressing with our book Quest for Wholeness, we want to understand for ourselves what wholeness means. And this would be a great conversation for you to journal and to work with your colleagues and your friends, what does wholeness mean to you? For some people wholeness, right here and right now means their physical being, to feel whole, to feel vibrant, to feel alive. While other people it might be several areas of life. That’s how they would define wholeness for themselves.

It’s like people describing love. Love is infinite. It’s this great big word that’s attempting to express several different things.

But when you look at the word wholeness and you look at spiritual enlightenment, everything about our lives is a paradox. Do you agree with that? And the more comfortable you become and I become, living in our paradoxes, the better off as spiritual beings, we will be.
The word wholeness, within itself, is a paradox. Because we’re always seeking to know and remember our wholeness. We’re always looking and pondering and exploring. When the truth of the matter is, we are whole just as we are. Right? So it’s paradoxical.
The whole idea of ‘I have tremendous faith, but yet I built that faith by doubting everything.’ That’s a huge paradox, isn’t it?!

Doubt everything, and then you develop faith. Sometimes people have come to me for counseling or for insight, to share ideas, giving insight to me, and they’ll say ‘You know what, I feel right now like I’m questioning everything, I’m not really sure what to tell myself anymore. And I don’t know even how to remind myself of certain scriptures or certain literature, and I’m just in that place.” And I go, “Good for you! Good for you!” And it takes them a minute. “Good for me? What do you mean good for me?”

But in that awareness, that’s when the stirring is happening you see, and you’re discovering the truth that’s within you. Not the truth that’s out there that’s in theory, not the concepts you might learn in chemistry and metaphysics, but the true you – the true colors of you are coming and shining through because you’re walking through it and you’re proving it you see.

So spiritual awareness is teaching us that in all of life we’re not seeing how things are, we’re seeing how WE are.

So, how we’re developing the relationship with ourself and everything we do and live in.
There’s a beautiful movie, that’s very archetypal in nature. It teaches us metaphysically, everything we need to know. It’s the Wizard of Oz. And it’s a story that’s archetypal, that each of us can relate, in all of our lives – those of us that have said, ‘I want spiritual enlightenment.’

Dorothy, here with Toto, is at a place in her life that she’s going, ‘Can anybody relate to me? Can anyone understand me? Is there someplace that I can go? Is there someplace over the rainbow where there’s no troubles and no issues? Where is that place for spiritual enlightenment?

And because she makes that declaration, William Bosh, who wrote the book, he’s a former priest, written many books on spiritual enlightenment, he said, that in that moment when she declared that, she brought into her life this tornado of events. That everything around her as she knew it, had to change and shift. Has that ever happened to you?
You may be there now. It could be!

So in that, in that consciousness of ‘I want to be more enlightened, I want to know more about God, I want that inner awareness and that Spirit to work through me’ there comes the… things must change as Esther Nicholson said last week, things must change.

So everything around you as you know it is changing.

And so in that, she draws forth, the things that she needs. She draws forth the high consciousness. In you it might be the teachings of Unity, it might be a spiritual leader or a teacher, it might be a friend, it might be an author that teaches feng shui, it could be a group, it could be a study group, but it’s something that reminds you of the high consciousness of who you are.

And true teaching is not a person that’s going to tell you they know the way. Ever. And you do what I tell you to do. True teaching is someone that says, “I see your true colors, you know what you need to do, and I’m here on the sidelines cheering you on, there you go!”

And that’s exactly what good witch Glenda did as she said ‘you’ve got what you need. You’ve got what you need, right inside of you, walk your path. You can do this.’ But she didn’t tell her how. She did say, ‘but here’s a gift for you.’ These are these red slippers, and you need them, and don’t ever take them off. When you’re walking on your spiritual path, you want to remember to always keep your red slippers on.

Metaphysically speaking your red slippers represent the red passion that is inside you. It’s the thing that when you think about it, you cringe with excitement and enthusiasm because it is the delicious spiritual side of you. It is ‘the what you know’ to be true, it’s what you hold onto that brings you to that waking hour that says, “I can do this.” Your slippers must be present all the time and right there on your feet.

The interesting part about life for all of us, when we’re into the joy and our spiritual enlightenment, and we’re into people liking us and it just feels really wonderful and we’re singing kumbaya by the campfire, I mean it’s just a wonderful place and all of a sudden something comes into our lives this shadow part of ourselves, that looks very interesting, almost like this green witch.

That looks at you, at your job, in your family, or at your class reunion, or they’re part of your staff and they go ‘I’m going to get you my pretty. I’m going to get you no matter what.”

And don’t you feel that sometimes? In your enlightenment, in your spiritual awareness, you feel like you’re just flying so high and all of a sudden something will just catch you off guard, and you go ‘oh my, where did you come from? Where did you come from?’

And it’s the shadow part that we recognize, and we’re aware that it is there. And sometimes we get very unsure about that about which we know, when we’re in that place. Do you relate?

And so when we are in these places in our lives, just as Dorothy did – she drew in a spiritual family that could support her. Each reflecting what we need in our lives.

Scarecrow, representing the Mind, the Intellect. We need our thoughts, we need our thoughts to stay in alignment with where we’re going on this path on that yellow brick road.

We need our Heart, as tin man would prove, because you cannot lose your heart in the things that you are about and the things that you do.

And always through the valley of walking thru life there is the need for the Courage. You can think all day long, I can think all day long, I can have feeling around something, but it’s the ability to have the courage to let go, to let go, to surrender as Elizabeth said earlier. So that Thy Will thru me can be done, and that’s the toughest part.

You might see it as you’re walking thru life, and the good witch told Dorothy, just follow the yellow brick road. Come up with the mantra, follow the yellow brick road, follow the yellow brick road. And though I might walk thru tigers and bears oh my, whatever I walk through, I will keep remembering that I am on God’s path.

And you take with you whatever you need. I love that song from the Wiz that Diana Ross sang so beautifully, “If you believe within your heart, you’ll know that no one can change the path of life that you must go.” Believe what you feel and know you’re right. Because the time will come around when you’ll say it’s yours, you will recognize everything because your self awareness has allowed you become ‘in it’ you see.

Because you’ve recognized that there’s not a place that you’re going, it’s the acceptance of the place that’s already within you.

That’s the paradox, make sense?

Sometimes we need signs, do you remember as a child? When you saw this ‘Surrender Dorothy’ for the first time, it was kind of a scary feeling with the witch painting it in the sky. Sometimes in our own lives we have that revelation, don’t we?

Just saying, ‘let go. Just let go. Let go and let God. Let this happen in your life.’ We start looking for all kinds of answers around us. Dorothy looks for and pursues the Wizard of Oz and is looking for some kind of ancient wisdom only to discover it’s a voice behind the curtain. Not a real wizard, it’s just a voice.

So, in your own life on the spiritual quest and spiritual journey, where are you on this journey? Where are you? Because there’s no place like home. And once you’re into your spiritual enlightenment, there’s no place that you can go, you can’t go backwards right? You can’t go back and forget and you don’t know it. It’s the awareness of moving forward. It’s the awareness of coming back home to yourself. Recognizing the true value as she told the wonderful good witch, that what she had discovered, she discovered that she had had it all the time.

And that’s that wonderful teaching, that we are in a place, in our quest for wholeness, in remembering.

In scripture, there are wonderful stories that teach us awarenesses and metaphysical insights. And in Matthew it gives an example of Jesus in Galilee. And he had gone to John and said, I want to be baptized. And John said, you want me to baptize you, it ought to be opposite. You should be baptizing me, and Jesus said no, I need you to baptize me. You’re going to fulfill this in righteousness. And so Jesus goes on and he gets baptized by John and crowds gather around and the sky parts, opens up, doves are hovering over, and the voice of Spirit, the voice of God says You are my beloved with whom I am well pleased.

Can you imagine that feeling? Of feeling at this place that Jesus must’ve felt? And that energy of just feeling like, wow, everything is in place. Haven’t you felt that way before? Everything feels like it’s in place now.

And Jesus goes off from there and he goes into 40 days of nesting, and meditation. We all do that sometimes don’t we, on our spiritual journeys, sometimes don’t you just want to leave our retreat and say gosh if I could just stay at this place of feeling good? Or you have an arrival place within yourself and you say, wow, I’d love to just stay here.

But as this message shows us, as Jesus comes out of that 40 days, that’s not what happened. Because the aspect of his personality started kicking in, and started questioning him about who he is and what he can do. Do you remember the story there? As he, came out from that rest and that time?

It says in scripture that satan or the devil, which in Unity we believe that’s the shadow part of oneself, would thus present itself, and the devil came up and said here you are, you’re hungry, why don’t you now just take these stones and turn them into bread and you won’t be hungry?

And Jesus said, “It is written, one does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Jesus was saying, universally there’s not a quick fix with how you use the Law. Yes, I might do this, I might turn the stone into bread right now, but that hunger will come and it will go.

Do you understand that? It’s like the students that had already made that A in chemistry they thought well that’s their arrival place, but that’s when it just begins. It’s for each of us when we’re on the spiritual journey and we feel like oh, I’m in a place now I can be very comfortable. And then something comes along and we want to just make it go away. Let me say a prayer, an affirmation and just make it go away.

But the true teaching, as we’re told by our Way Shower, is to learn how to live with the word of God all the time. Isn’t that inviting? What a wonderful invitation, to learn how to develop that power within you that you’re never hungry, that you’re never just responding to outside circumstances but you know that within you you have everything that you need.

And then the devil then proceeded, it wasn’t enough then. He went and he said to Jesus, look we’re on a mountain. If you jump off it would be amazing because all these angels, I’m sure if you’re the son of God, if you really are the son of God, nothing will happen to you, you’ll be taken care of. And Jesus said very clearly it’s written that we will not use the power for temporary gain. We will not use it for that. What a great message, because it tells and invites all of us don’t become spiritually either dogmatic or arrogant. Has that ever happened to you? That you feel like, oh, I know this, nothing can touch me, I’ve got it. Boy, that doesn’t work, does it? Just as you put that out there what comes along? Usually a little green witch or something comes along to say ‘let’s set this story straight’, comes right back at you.

And then finally, satan, the devil says you know, here’s the thing, if you’re so wonderful and you’re so fine and you’re God’s beloved and all that, here’s what you can have if you’ll just follow my ways – in other words if you’ll follow the ways of your personality you can have it all.

And Jesus says, that is not the way of true spiritual teaching. That is not the way to follow as a spiritual being. What I am here to do in spiritual law, is I am here to show that the Kingdom is within. Everything that I need, is inside of me. There is nothing ultimately that we own, anyway – is there?

So there’s the following the path and the truth of who we are. These are important teachings because they’re something that we face all the time on our life journey. Have any of you faced those situations I just mentioned? They’re part of our experience, they’re archetypal in nature. Here we are.

And so where are you on your quest for wholeness? It is our knowing that you will remember your true colors of who you are, to continue to develop your consciousness, not your personality, but your consciousness – so that thru all things you can walk with that loving being and presence that you are. So in closing, I would just like to share with you one of my favorites of the autobiography of life.

A man is walking down the street and he sees a hole in the sidewalk and he steps in it. So the second day, he goes down the same street, he sees the hole in the sidewalk and he falls in it again. So the third day, he goes down that same street, see the same hole and can’t believe it but he’s fallen in it again. He’s very embarrassed but he pulls himself out. The fourth day, he walks down the street, he sees the hole in the sidewalk and he walks around the hole. The fifth day, what does he do? He takes a different street. He takes a different street.

On your life journey, be true to yourself, be true to the walk, keep your red slippers with you wherever you go. Come from your heart and your passion, and life will always give you that which you are.

This video has a marvelous message from Abraham though Esther Hicks. In part, it is about collective consciousness. Esther is “on fire” in this video. Feel her energy.

Many of us have a tendency to have a “sky is falling” view in times that we classify as difficult. Abraham challenges us to focus on our purpose.

Abraham talks about expansion and our world really being at the beginning. For me this is the idea that “lit the fire” that fuels my commitment to Life Rights. Life Rights, “the right of all to live their intentions in freedom and peace. That commitment is part of my definition of my purpose.

Have you defined your purpose? Do so! When you do, you will experience peace, calm and a seemingly contrasting intensity to be that whom your are intended to be. You will be at peace while jumping from an airplane if that is something you have always wanted to do. You will be at peace no matter what you are doing or what is going on around you. That energy is what you send out to the Universe and “All Is Good”. That is what Abraham is intending for us to understand when the energy of the masses is discussed.

Pause, breathe deep and ask yourself how you feel about “the right of all to live their intentions in freedom and peace” Really think about it and write to Temple expressing your feelings.

Just One More Thing - there is a wonderful lady in the United Kingdom. Her name is Georgina Beament. She posted this video to her blog http://11:11Awakeningcode.com and messaged me saying she knew I would appreciate it.

Temple Love You
I Love You

In this particular meeting Temple explained to me the Mastermind Principles process she has been using for quite some time. I believe she said over 30 years. That of course means she started when she was a little girl. Right?

We started this process and I felt the energy shift almost immediately.  Several months later I adopted what she led me to for a new venture that was launched in January of this year.  The following was published on the blog and in the community for that venture. The key points of for forming a mastermind and how to proceed are presented as published.

Thank you Temple for your wisdom and teachings.  I hope all readers use this guidance in their lives and enjoy it as much as I have.

Title: Napoleon Hill Made It Clear: Mastermind Is Not Optional

” A Master Mind may be created through the bringing together or blending, in a spirit of perfect harmony, of two or more minds. Out of this harmonious blending the chemistry of the the mind creates a third mind which may be appropriated and used by one or all of the individual minds. The Master Mind will remain available as long as the friendly harmonious alliance between the individual minds exist. It will disintegrate and all evidence of its former existence will disappear the moment the friendly alliance is broken.”
Napoleon Hill, Law of Success

To clarify one point, Mr. Hill is affirming two or more harmonious minds bonds with a third connector which is God..Divine Intelligence. When the energy fields of two or more people are in alignment with Source energy the guidance that emerges is nothing short of amazing.

Today we launched the Mastermind Connect group in the Manifest Mastermind Private Community This coincides with the release of our detailed Guidance Process on the the intent of the Mastermind, how to select Mastermind group members and how to conduct a Mastermind session whether in person or remote.

Our members received a detailed example of exactly how I use the Mastermind Process with my business partner and mastermind partner Brian Campbell. Our members have a great community of like minded people to begin forming their connections with as well as forming their Mastermind groups. This process started almost as soon as the doors were opened.

We are pleased to provide you with key steps for forming your own Mastermind. In Napoleon Hill’s books Think and Grow Rich and The Laws of Success he is emphatic on the importance of a Mastermind in the accomplishment of nearly every major milestone.

I read and studied the idea of the mastermind decades ago and essentially accepted it but did not really implement it. I have experienced great teachers and mentors, but never did I become part of a mastermind, until very recently. Since that time, I have felt the earth and stars move. I have felt energy shift while in a mastermind session and I have experienced instant intended results during a mastermind session.

I have my own experience as well as knowing of the experience of others from their testimonials and those documented in literature. With all of that irrefutable evidence, I say to you that having the right mastermind partner or group is the single best relationship anyone can have for supporting and guiding the achievement of their intentions.

The right mastermind person or persons plus the process you will learn here will be like an ignition switch for a rocket that takes you to manifesting your dreams.

One other piece of background information and then you will recive the specific action steps on how to proceed:

I was introduced to the mastermind principles and process that you are now receiving by Rev. Temple Hayes. She is a wonder New Thought Minister of the Unity Church in St. Petersburg, Florida. http://unitycampus.org

I work with Temple on a social cause project, Life Rights, where we have the intention of creating awareness of the consciousness of freedom and peace on a global scale.

The co-founder of Manifest Mastermind is Brian Campbell. He is my mastermind partner and business partner for the business of Manifest Mastermind.

I am personally passionate about Manifest Mastermind and the mission of Life Rights whose idea is Temple’s. I have two separate mastermind partners as there are two distinct missions. However with two distinct missions there is a common belief system. I work with people who are in alignment with my core values and beliefs.

We begin the Manifest Mastermind Guidance Processes with the clear direction that each of us must have a purposeful definition of our intentions based on our dreams and desires. We must arrive at what we are committed to manifesting based on our pure potentiality. This first step is a requirement for an effective mastermind.

A mastermind is two or more people in alignment with your intentions. There are no rules. However, we recommend you consider separate mastermind members for each of the following areas:

Financial
Spiritual/Personal

You may find a person or more who can be an excellent mastermind partner that is able to relate to your financial and your personal dreams. Remember you are looking for guidance and people who will hold you accountable for what you commit to do. This is not a chat session. These are very purposeful meetings with ideas and action steps resulting from them.

Examples:

Let’s say you have a business and you want to improve the profitability of that business. An effective mastermind partner is one who has experience doing that. The rest of the equation is that you should be able to help them with their financial objectives. You don’t need to be an expert in their business. However if you are not able to help them, the mastermind will be short lived. If you are inexperienced in business you may need a mastermind coach and that is different than a mastermind partner. Generally a mastermind coach is a person you

You may be in a position where you have a job and want to change or you are looking for a position. A mastermind partner connecting on dreams and desires will help you stay objective in your mindset and balanced.

A mastermind partner in the area of health can be someone you exercise with or can be a person who you develop new ideas about eating and drinking. A mastermind is not intended to deal with addiction matters or replace other situations where professional assistance is appropriate.

A mastermind partner can be very helpful in the area of relationships if there is a mutual understanding and intent to focus on what you need to be to attract the person of your dreams. Mastermind partners should not be looked at as a replacement for professional counselors.

There are no limits on the purpose for you mastermind partner or group. However masterminds take time so we advise you form your mastermind based on how you prioritized your dreams. You can expand the number of masterminds after you are making significant progress with one. Or maybe you have two where one meets several times a week and another meets less frequently.

Keys To Success

There must be harmony. This is achieved by clear definition of purpose and agreement on the purpose. But there is more:

……Every successful mastermind has this one element: positive energy vibrations labeled harmony…every one!!!

Each member should feel they are able to contribute as well as receive.

Each member must be open to candid helpful comments and evaluations from others.

Meeting in person is not required. An agreement to communicate at a certain time and frequency is an integral part of an effective mastermind.

Agreement as to the length of the meetings.

Agreement to take the actions agreed to during the meetings.

Forming a mastermind with a spouse or relative can be effective. However, this should be carefully evaluated as people close to you may not be objective and you may not be as receptive to their ideas and suggestions. Every successful mastermind that we have read about or been active in has been with people who are not related.

Concluding a Mastermind

If harmony is disrupted the mastermind should end. The key in evaluating the level of harmony is the level of positive energy vibrations that are felt during the mastermind sessions. If the energy consistently become neutral or negative, it is time to end the mastermind.

When the intended purpose for forming the mastermind is achieved, it is time to conclude the mastermind.

Recommendations from others

Intending to be in a mastermind and being aware of the messages you receive from God. For example, I had no idea that I would be working with Temple Hayes on a global initiative. One that many people are yet to appreciate and soon will. But I followed an Divine message and took action and the development of Life Rights is very exciting.

I had no idea or would have ever guessed that Brian Campbell would become a highly valued mastermind partner. Looking back I can now see how many of the dots were formed and then became connected. Our connection started out focused on the business. Then I sent him the Mastermind Principles that Temple shared with me. A short while later he said to me “shouldn’t we be using the Mastermind Principles?” See the teacher is always a student as well.

Mastermind Principles

Again…there are no rules. The following is the process Brian and I follow each week and is adapted from a similar approach that Temple and I use weekly.

Mastermind Principles Sequence:

Cleansing prayer

Mastermind prayer

Intentions

Closing covenant

Cleansing Prayer

We open our Mastermind Principles with the intent of allowing ourselves to be directly connected to the Divine Wisdom and Divine Intelligence of God that we also refer to as Source Energy.

We use the h0’oponopono cleaning grace. This is explained in a short video at http://4graces.com and additional support is offered at the Facebook group Ho’oponopono

One person leading or all in the mastermind can say this prayer.

Mastermind Principles Prayer

In this phase, the mastermind participants affirm the power of the mastermind. Each phrase can be ready jointly, or one person can lead and there can be an alternating sequence with one person reading one phrase and another person reading a subsequent phrase. Again, go with what feels right to you.

Intentions

This is where each member states their desired intentions. We advise beginning with a statement of gratitude. Notice the sequencing:

1. Cleaning blockages (Guidance Process 3)
2. Statement of Gratitude (Guidance Process 2)
3. Clear definition of Intentions (Guidance Process 1)

The synchronicity is that we have covered in reasonable depth the key elements of the Mastermind Principles Process. We encourage you to understand the importance of being specific with your intentions. Don’t leave the Universe guessing. Send clear energy as to what you want.

Closing Covenant

This affirms the covenant with the mastermind for the manifestation of the expressed intentions.

Mastermind Principles Process Example:

The following is most of what Temple and I do at the start of each meeting. Brian and I follow this  4 to 5 times a week and precedes our detailed discussion regarding our progress toward our intentions. Notice this precedes the detailed mastermind meeting which generally remains focused on the strategies and actions we are implementing to achieve our business intentions.

Mastermind Principles

Begin Every Mastermind Meeting as Follows or With a Similar Opening:

1. Ho’oponopono Cleaning

Take a few deep breathes to center your focus then one person can say:

The intention of this mastermind meeting is to connect with our Source Energy, the Divine Wisdom and Divine Intelligence of God for purposes of guiding our intentions. We now ask that all blockages to this Energy known or unknown during our lives or preceding us throughout the course of time be removed. For any such blockages (the flowing can be said by one person or by the group)

I Am Sorry - For any blockages known or unknown that I am part of whether consciously or not

Please Forgive Me - I am allowing me to forgive myself for any role in any blockages to the Divine Energy of God.

Thank You - I thank God for the wisdom of knowing of blockages and to be able to release such blocks.

I Love You – I have unconditional love for the Divine Essence of God in me and in all.

2. Mastermind Prayer: These Seven Mastermind Principles

1) I Release…I release myself to the mastermind because I am stronger when I have others to help me.

2) I Believe…I believe the combined intelligence of the mastermind creates a wisdom far beyond my own.

3) I Understand…I understand that I will more easily create positive results in my life when I am open to looking at myself and my state, situations and opportunities from another’s point of view.

4) I Decide…I decide to release my desires totally to the trust of the mastermind. I am open to accepting new possibilities.

5) I Forgive…I forgive myself for the mistakes I have made, I also forgive others who have hurt me in the past so that I can move into the future with a clean slate.

6) I Ask…I ask the mastermind to hear what I really want. My goals, my dreams, my desires. I hear my mastermind partners supporting me in my fulfillment.

7) I Accept…I know, relax and accept; believing that the working power of the mastermind will respond to my every need. I am grateful knowing this is so.

At this point a mastermind member declares their individual dreams and desires (ex. Financial, relationship, health)

______________________________
Steve’s Intentions for Manifest Mastermind. Temple and I share additional intentions related to our goals for Life Rights. This is an example. Carefully choose your own words and freely modify over time.)

Grateful:

I am grateful for all that I am and all that I have. I am grateful for the progress of Manifest Mastermind, all members, subscribers and those becoming aware of Manifest Mastermind. I am grateful for the technology that allows us to develop and grow this business and achieve our goal of the greatest good for the greatest number of people. I am grateful for my mastermind partner and the people we are attracting.

Intentions:

I am receiving the Divine Wisdom and Intelligence of the Mastermind that guides me to providing leadership that achieves the intended business goal ………………(This or something better according to the will of God.)

I intend to attract people who will teach me and guide me so I am able to be a global leader that attracts millions of people who will benefit from the wisdom and resources of Manifest Mastermind.

I intend to be guided to providing increasing valuable content and resources to all paying members, free subscribers and those touched by Manifest Mastermind in the public arena.

I intend to exceed the highest expectations of my mastermind and business partner.

I intend to be respectful of all views while demonstrating increasingly valuable leadership. I very purposely intend to use discernment, be grateful for all experiences and be in a non-judgmental state.

I intend to be respectful of my physical and mental energy and be continually guided to the actions that optimize my physical and mental well – being.

I intend to attract the professional and personal relationships that complement my intentions.

In response another mastermind member affirms this persons intention are already manifest.

For example Brian might say: “ Steve I honor your intentions and our manifest partner Divine Source Energy affirms your intentions as expressed or otherwise are manifest and appearing at the perfect time and place.

Dedication and Covenant

All Members Now Say Individually or Together…

“ We now have a covenant in which it is agreed that the Mastermind shall supply us with an abundance of all things necessary to live a success-filled and happy life.

I dedicate myself to be of maximum service to God and my fellow human beings, to live in a manner that will set the highest example for others to follow and to remain an open channel of God’s will. I go forth with a spirit of enthusiasm, excitement and expectancy.”

And So It Is
Amen

Mastermind Partners Meeting:

Following the Mastermind Principles Process the detailed meeting should commence. Guidelines for this meeting include:

1. A meeting agenda
2. Generally the process should be in alignment with highest priority intention.
3. Each meeting should begin with a review of what was agreed to the prior meeting and the status of those agreements. Remember this is a mastermind and not an employer/employee relationship. However, the mastermind agreement is that each person makes commitments to take action and agrees to be held accountable. There is no purpose of the mastermind without the commitment and accountability.
4. At the conclusion of the meeting there should be a fresh set of commitments and targeted timelines for achievement.

Example:

In this example I will use a business owner who intend to grow their company to $300,000 per month revenue with a pre-tax net income of 10%. Currently the business is at $100,000 per month and the pre-tax profit is 5%.

The first question I would ask is what is the timeframe for the intended goal. If the answer is next month, I would say that is unrealistic. If the answer is in 18 months or 24 months, that could be realistic depending on the business.

Let’s say that $300,000 per month is realistic in 24 months. That means the owner has 24 months to grow their business to $200,000 a month more than what they are doing now. So I might ask how they are planning to add $10,000 a month of additional revenue per month on average between now and then.

In the course of this discussion I might see advantages and disadvantages not recognized by the owner. This is almost always the case when someone independent of a person’s situation looks at the intentions including intentions in the areas of relationships and health.

Action Steps:

Specific Action Steps:

1. Find 3-5 people who share similar intentions and begin connecting with them to see how you feel about them as potential mastermind partners.
2. Select 2 or more of these people and introduce the idea of testing a mastermind partnership.
3. Have phone or Skype conversations with those who are interest and be open to all developments based on how you feel. Monitor your energy level. Is the energy flow positive or not.
4. Agree to test the idea with both parties acknowledging that to say this is not working for them is perfectly fine. You want to agree to maintain a positive relationship whether the mastermind idea works out with them or not.

Sending you energy of peace, happiness, prosperity
