There Is Something Within You That You Are Called To Create

Image 5I want to ask you a question…in fact my current favorite question.

What are you EXCITED about creating?

Seriously…

What are you REALLY excited about Creating???

I am not talking about your plan to pay off you mortgage in 15 years instead of 20 years, or losing that last 10 pounds that you have been struggling with. I am talking about, heart pounding, pulse quickening, head glowing, smart ass grin, excited about creating?

Stop for a moment and notice what happens for you when you sit with the question for a moment. I find it fascinating when I ask people this simple question.

There are some common responses and reactions

1)   Some light up and share what they are engaged in or preparing to become engaged in, and a meaningful conversation is underway, Yahoo, we have a conscious creator!

2)   Some have difficulty letting themselves get excited because they are burdened with, fear disappointment and obligation.  Unfortunately this is FAR too common they WANT to be excited they want to be engaged in CREATION they just cannot see through the have to’s for it to seem like a real choice.

3)   Some utter the 3 words that kill more ideas, brainwaves, possibilities and brain cells as well if you are following the new research in neural plasticity.  You know the three words I am talking about odds are you have uttered more than once “I don’t know”.

I do not know what you response was the first time I asked the question but I do know that within YOU there is something that you are called to create, something that is aligned with your heart, mind and soul and when you consciously direct your energy to “THAT” you have the ability tap into what William Hutchinson Murray wrote about.

“Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”

(I LOVE that quote, for so many reasons, which I will not go into here or this post will be 240 pages long.)

Suffice it to say that I believe that humanity is at its best and divinely connected when we are engaged in the conscious creation of that which we are excited and passionate about that which has meaning to us.

It is this belief that gave birth to The Conscious Creation Telesummit and I invite you to attend, more importantly I invite you to actually CREATE for real in your life and in the world whatever it is that you are excited about creating.

The summit is free to listen to LIVE and this all-star lineup of New York Times Bestselling Authors, Transformation Coaches and Personal Growth Experts Will Teach You How To Consciously Reframe, Redesign and Live as a True Creator.

The Conscious Creation Telesummit will not only spark your EXCITEMENT about what you are called to create, it will provide real tools, practices, processes, and role models who have done it themselves! Role models who are conscious creator’s and who hold the vision that conscious creation is your true nature, your birth right YOU CAN, YOU WILL, YOU ARE a conscious creator!

So make the COMMITMENT to participate in The Conscious Creation Telesummit. I promise you that I have raised in your favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which you could have dreamt would have come your way.

So do yourself and your future self a favor, join the summit. Bend time, create what you want NOW! by registering here.

The Samurai Game Coming to Alberta!

Samurai_Art_Blacklight_062510
I just got back from the ATL (The Association of Transformational Leaders) meeting in Los Angeles where I had the honor of playing The Samurai with a group of astounding people, like Jack Canfield (who was assigned as MY back up in my role as 2nd in command LOL) Now to only get that happening in real life!  Also a ton of fun was Yakov Smirnoff who I really enjoyed, but back to the game.
Simply put the Samurai Game ROCKS!!

It is one of the most powerful activities, that mirrors who and how we are as human beings.  I will not tell you the details but I can tell you that in the game I died, the way I died was a perfect awareness (kick in the ass) for what I am working on in my life right this moment.  PRESENCE, being in the present moment, I have come away with clear commitments to strengthening my practices and more consciously aligning my environment (internal and external) to support living MORE in the moment.  I will write more about this in near future!

So if you are ready for a significant step up in your life and world, you really MUST get yourself registered in the program.  This is the first time it has ever been delivered in Alberta.  The weekend is June 28 – 30 We only have about 25 spots of 60 left. 

Feel compelled?

More Details:

The Samurai Game Workshop
The Samurai Game® Workshop is a powerful opportunity to experience the way of the warrior as a path to deeper self-awareness and enlightenment.In Japanese, the word samurai means “to serve.” The samurai lived and died by the code of bushido, “the way of the warrior.” For the true samurai, iron self- discipline, 100% commitment, inner calm in the face of danger, willingness to die rather than be dishonored, and unwavering loyalty to leader and team were a way of life. The Samurai Game® allows you to take on these qualities of the samurai warrior, and experience for yourself the way of the warrior as a path to deeper self-awareness and enlightenment.At the same time, the Samurai Game® is an amazingly accurate mirror that allows you to see exactly how you live your everyday life. As the game unfolds, major life issues will come to the surface for you to confront and deal with. For some people, the main issue is commitment—the willingness to persevere, not give up, in the face of setbacks, difficulties, and even pain. For others, it’s honesty and integrity—the courage to speak the truth, even when speaking the truth means the possibility of rejection or becoming an outcast. For others, what surfaces is the struggle between cowardice—giving in to fear—and courage, the willingness to risk, for what you believe in. And for still others, the issue brought up by the game is trust—trust in yourself, trust in other people, trust in life itself. The list of major life issues that may surface in the game is endless, since the game is simply a mirror. But you can count on being challenged to face up to yourself in a deep and meaningful way.Another challenge in the Samurai Game® for many people is the challenge of (symbolically) facing death. As you confront the possibility of dying in battle, you have an opportunity to contemplate the meaning of your life—and to face up to how brief this lifetime really is. For many participants, this is a chance to re-evaluate their priorities, and to gain a new level of clarity about what really matters.

The Samurai Game® is also an exercise in leadership and teamwork. Throughout the game, you will be presented with opportunities to lead—and opportunities to surrender completely to the leadership of others. The game will test you, and expose for you to see clearly your strengths and weaknesses as a leader and as a member of the team.

Participation in the Samurai Game® demands a high level of personal commitment and willingness to participate. Playing the game does not, however, require a high level of physical fitness or physical contact. Men and women from 18 to 80 years old, from all walks of life, have participated fully and created tremendous value in the Samurai Game®. As with any experiential process, the value you create will depend entirely on your willingness to participate fully and face up to yourself honestly.

The Samurai Game® was created by George Leonard. George was a founding member and former president of Esalen Institute. He held the rank of 5th Degree Black Belt in the Japanese martial art of Aikido and authored twelve books including: Mastery, The Ultimate Athlete, Education & Ecstasy, The Way of Aikido, The Silent Pulse, and (with Michael Murphy) The Life We Are Given. The Samurai Game® is now used globally in classes, seminars and corporate retreats, and has served hundreds of thousands of people.

The Samurai Game® Workshop will be led by Keith Bentz. Keith began his career teaching at the university level, doing undergraduate and graduate work at Stanford University, and teaching philosophy and literature at Stanford and Boston Universities. Keith has worked in the field of transformational education since 1980. From 1991 to 2008, he lived and worked in Asia, leading trainings in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. He has also led trainings for participants in the US, England, Holland, Russia, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina. Keith has personally assisted more than 60,000 men and women to live more effective, committed, and fulfilling lives. He is personally certified by George Leonard to lead the Samurai Game®.
