Life is set Up to Support Joy


Life is set up to support our joy, our love, our creativity and our passion, but most of us have been educated to believe the very opposite, that life demands sacrifice, struggle and suffering.

I have discovered our happiness; joy, freedom and success are often the very things we can be most frightened of.  We simply need to unlearn much of what we have been taught so that our Soul and Spirit can naturally shine through our mind and emotions.  This undoing is not always easy – it can be scary and painful at times, but we need to do it so that we can become freer.  The path of undoing requires courage and trust to face doubts and fears, as one still know the path, I have had, and still do have my ups and downs, and at times I have struggled with money, but the inner rewards are tremendous and the money always sorts itself out - quite amazing!

 This process of undoing and freeing ourselves is called healing by some, personal growth by others and self-acceptance or self-realization by others.  At the heart of each one of us is a beautiful being, made whole and in the image of our creator, with an abundance of love, creativity, happiness and peace.  Most of us with the help of our parents, school teachers, priests and some friends have helped to keep our Inner Entrepreneur asleep or have kept it hiding away in fear, but it is never lost, and the work we should be doing is lying dormant, just waiting to be let free.

When success is primary measured by external criteria, positions, possessions and our link to the world's mass consciousness, the split widens between the work we think we have to do to support the lifestyle we choose and wherever our heart and Inner Entrepreneur really is – whatever we truly enjoy and feel inspired by.

If our world view is one of scarcity and lack, we will feel driven to constantly prove ourselves and justify ourselves, pitching against one another, competing to survive…Not an inspiring picture.

Free Yourself

Uncover Your Career Path.


COMMUNICATION WITH THE INTUITIVE SELF TO UNCOVER YOUR CAREER PATH.

 The intuitive self has to resort to extreme measures in order to communicate because it can’t talk.  Not in the usual way, at any rate.  The language centre of your brain, the part that processes, analyses, and communicates verbally, is overwhelmingly dominated by the logical self – the left-brain. In one sense this is good otherwise you would not get through your day.

 But this is not to say that the intuitive self never uses words.  It does.  But when it speaks, you – that is, your logical self – are usually surprised by what it says.  Creative writers and others who express their intuitive selves through language often describe the process as occurring in a kind of dream state, during which they’re not fully conscious of the words they’re about to use.  The logical self does its best to interfere with this process.  It peers over the poet’s shoulder, making comments like “Not exactly Shakespeare, are we? Or “What will your mother think? Or “‘Darkness visible? What the hell does that mean, ‘darkness visible’?”  This IS why so many writers drink excessively!!

 Even for us normal people who are not artistic, the intuitive self will occasionally verbalize its opinions.  The classic Freudian slip is good example:  The speaker says what he means, but did not want to, without even realizing it.  Other verbal cues are more direct, like the comment that “popped out like a burp “during a person’s interview.  Something similar happened to a friend, Bruce, with much happier results.  After a comfortable but unspectacular first date, Bruce gave his companion a chaste peck on the cheek, then heard himself say, “Goodbye, Terry I love you.”  He was absolutely horrified.  “I thought I would explode like the Hindenburg from sheer embarrassment,” he told me I barely knew her!”  Apparently, Bruce’s intuitive self was on the right track, because he and Terry have been happily married for years. Now, what has your Intuitive self been saying to you all your life about your job, career or starting your own business?
Your intuition-self knows what you need to do to be happy and flourishing but your logical-self wants the power and does not want interference from other potential threats to its power base.

 The fascinating thing about incidents and “light-Bulb” moments are that although the conscious, verbal self is completely blindsided, the words that come out of your sub-conscious are true in the deepest real sense.  Pay attention if your own words begin to surprise you.  You probably don’t have brain damage or multiple-personality disorder; on the contrary, you’re getting crucial information from your real self to take you onto your new career path.

 Most intuitive-self guidance, however, isn't so obvious.  Because it takes enormous energy to shove the logical self out of its command centre in the rational, verbal part of your brain, the intuitive self usually “speaks” through parts of your being that aren't under conscious control.  These are commanded by the deeper, more primary layers of the brain, the parts that manage your emotional responses and basic body-maintenance functions like aspiration, sleep and waking, sexual desire and higher communications with your Soul through your sub-conscious and Spirit energy. That’s one of the reasons I developed my TLC Online Workshop. I’ve developed ways of occupying the logical-self while we encourage the Intuitive self to communicate more easily. I give the logical-self credit for doing what it does well and I ensure it also has work to do in the TLC Workshop.

 When you leave your true path and start heading away from your intended life path, your intuitive self will use any or all of its skills and tools to stop you.  If your logical self won’t pay attention to mild warnings, the intuitive self has to get more and more dramatic.  As a last resort, your core self will simply hijack the controls you use to direct your own behaviour or immune system.  You may be oblivious to your own discontent until the very moment you find yourself weeping at a business luncheon, punching your child’s first-grade teacher or crying in a hilariously funny movie.  Fortunately, you can avoid such unpleasant situations if you learn just one “word” in your intuitive self’s nonverbal vocab:  NO. It took me most of my life to realize and act on this important. NO.

What's Going On With My Life?



"Why do I feel so empty while I have such success"?  
The gulf between the outer appearances of my life and the inner experience of myself was huge, seemingly insurmountable.
 There was something missing, and I eventually discovered what "that" something was –  my Soul and Spirit!  I was failing to be authentic and true to myself; I was playing roles and putting on masks to get people to approve of me and to like me, and to show everyone how good I was.  Although in many respects I had been very successful in my life, I still couldn't hide the fact that the real and authentic me – my heart, my inspiration, creativity, love and passion – were largely absent in my daily life.

Because I was hiding behind masks and roles, I was getting and achieving a lot in my outer life, but I was receiving very little inner satisfaction and joy..  And the real inner me was starving.
 My roles had eventually stopped working for me; I was beginning to realize that they were covering a deep sense of my actually being a failure - a failure to what I was really sent to earth to do for my own personal evolvement.  I needed to slow down and attend to some of the broken or missing parts of my heart, mind, Soul and Spirit.  I’d done a good job in the past of moulding and distorting myself in the process of putting out a lie about myself over many decades.  I was bored and frustrated in my work, but I was caught in a materially comfortable prison.  So much of my identity was tied up in the outer things of my life, but I was petrified to change and let go of everything that I had accumulated through such hard work and struggle.

Making Mega Bucks With Intuition



     
 In today’s economic climate, your intuitive self is a much more reliable moneymaker than your logical self.
The best way to make your fortune in today’s economic climate is to master the spontaneous, creative energy of the intuitive self.

What Used to Succeed in Business                        What Succeeds Now in Business
Consistency
Routinize
Enormous size
Hierarchically controlled Information
Insistence on rational logic
Reliance on tried-and-true methods
Cultural conformity
Flexibility
Innovation
Lean structure
Open communication
Tolerance for incongruity
Openness to new ideas
Cultural diversity

We are in the process of moving from a logical-self environment to one where the intuitive self is much better equipped to succeed.  This transformation is not yet complete, but it’s accelerating all the time. We need to help it. How?

By finding what you love best, by finding what you were born to do, by taking your true path to your own career, you put yourself in harmony with today’s increasingly changeable economic environment and add value to every job in ways that are absolutely unique. 
Your skills and passions will stay with you when corporate loyalty fades, or technology makes your job obsolete, or an opportunity that never existed before suddenly crosses your path when you find yourself unemployed. 

The predictable logical self doesn't have a clue about what to do in situations like these – but the creative and unorthodox intuitive self does.  In an economy where it’s getting harder and harder to find organizations that will chart a lifetime course for your career, finding your inner navigational system is not only personally gratifying – it’s the best chance you have of achieving financial security.

South Africa - The Rainbow Nation of Opportunity


South Africa - The Rainbow Nation of Opportunity

What do you think of when you imagine a colourful rainbow?

You may think of a pot of gold or a beautiful group of friendly South African people at the end of the rainbow.

Whatever you imagine, is it priceless when you find it?

The pot of gold and the friendly people of South Africa are there to make your dreams come true. Recent surveys tell us that South Africans are one of the biggest Giving nations in the world - this says an enormous amount for the future prosperity of our rainbow nation. We have one of the strongest pillars in place for business growth for all caring South Africans that live in our urban and rural areas.

Business growth means business opportunities, which in turn means turning your dream of a pot of gold into reality. No place on Earth offers more opportunities for self-employment than South Africa - right now. Thanks initially to the one and only Father of our Nation, Nelson Mandela; we all have the potential of a dream that can now come true - each and every one of us.

Do you know that our flag is now the third most well-known flag in the world! We now have the opportunity to become proud of ourselves by playing our part in filling our pot with gold and thereby giving all other South Africans the opportunity to also find their rightful place in working for those of us who expand their small businesses and employ others.

South Africans are innovators, inventors and hard workers. There are just so many things that have, and are, occurring in South Africa that prove that point:
  • First heart transplant in the world.
  • Developed the technology to extract gold from ore.
  • Invented the DOLOS to protect coastal areas like harbour walls.
  • Largest producer of coal-fired electricity - our electricity is the cheapest in the world.
  • We have the most profitable game park in the world.
  • First to produced liquid fuel from coal.
  • Developed technology to operate a mine 4k under the earth.
  • Pratley Putty is typically one of our many inventions.
  • We win International awards every year and others have won Nobel prices.

There are many more that I am sure we all know about - each one shows us that South Africans can be inventive - all we need is to get to know ourselves - see who we really are and break out of our conditioning that holds us back. Let me show you how to find that idea living inside of your Super Consciousness - get started on your dream in South Africa.

Each of us were born to do certain very specific things - the first step in discovering what things you were born to do is to get to know yourself through examination of your past, analyzing your known strengths, weaknesses, and through various testing methods, discover what you do not know about yourself and uncover that idea you were born to do.

Each of us has two selves - a visible one that we can see and an invisible self that we can sense. Both play a role in assisting us to be who we were born to be. The visible self is easily conditioned by our past experience and teachings, the invisible self cannot be conditioned and is waiting for you to recognize it.
Our South African scientists can break an atom down past protons and neutrons and further until their most powerful microscope just sees light energy appearing and disappearing, then again appearing and again disappearing. From this light energy, atoms are formed into highly well-organized molecules. We can understand that this light energy brings with it incredible intelligence that, for example from a tiny spec in a woman's womb can develop into a thinking person with organs, arms and intelligence.
 Energy never ever dies - it just transforms itself into another substance.

How does that help us with earning a prosperous living?

It's simple; everything that you can see in this world, started with that invisible light energy creating a substance that was used in the creation of what you can see. As intelligent human beings everything starts with what we think about most of the time each day of our lives. If you are homeless, starving and without friends, you will think things, which continue creating those circumstances in your life; you will always be the victim. 

If a kind person starts to assist you with food and friendship, you now have a choice to make. You can either gratefully accept the new found abundance of food and friendship, or, you can moan and groan about other things that others have but you do not possess. This choice leads to creating your future. The more attention you place on a thought, the more you energize that thought. If you also feel passionate about your thought, you add extraordinary energy to making it happen in your future. But more about that in my course.

Yes, choices, attitudes and thoughts create your future from the invisible light of energy that is all around us in many different forms. This energy attracts the circumstances you inwardly and unknowingly create. You are the creator of your future - nothing outside of yourself has the power to control your success of your life, unless you allow it to and even encourage it - possibly without even realizing that you are doing it. You have the power to employ yourself and become successful. You have the power to control and grow your business. You have the power to develop your business by employing many other people.

But,you need a mentor, a person you can see as your friend and associate. A person that can assist you to see the power in yourself; who can help you uncover your inherent talents; who can teach you self-employment skills; who can assist you in starting out on your own; who is part of your business family.
Find that person if it's not me or contact me:
