"You cannot change anybody-what you are changing is inside them, negatively or positively. If you want to do something, you do it  positively" - Addy

Feb 17 - A Meteor and Asteroid on The Same Day: An Accident, or Coincidence? I Don't Think So

The passing of an asteroid and the planet getting struck by a meteor, all on the same day, is no accident. Allow me to explain my theory.

I am referring to the article posted on CNN.com.

Feb 08 - The Most Important Question You Must Answer: And Everything Depends On It

It has been said by many military leaders, sports figures, spiritual gurus and life coaches, that the most important hurdle one must accomplish in life is to answer a very important question: who are you?

Jan 27 - My best advice - if I could say only one thing

I was recently asked, if you could only give one piece of advice, what would it be?

Here it is.

Live courageously: be who you are, say what you must, trust your heart, have no fear and you will thrive.

Jan 25 - We Did IT! Innovation as Easy as 1...2...3

We did it! A collection of people who are publishers (Waterfront Digital Press), a writer (me), an ebook technology platform developer (VOOK), and a software developer (Democrasoft), who had never met face to face, created an ebook that won the 2012 Publishing Industry Innovation of the Year Award for the best non-fcition!

How exactly does that work? It's as easy as 1 2 3.

Step 1: You do what you love and love what you do.

Jan 13 - What is the essence of living? It's The Way. The What?

What is Living?

An excerpt from one of the 36 parables within 11 Days in May: The Conversation That Will Change Your Life. Enjoy the journey, along The Way ~ JD

***

I mean the essence of living must involve pain and suffering,
joy and love, and of course living and dying!

That is The Way, of course.

The what?
Dec 05 - Don't Believe The Naysayers, Believe in Youself
Don't Believe The Naysayers, Believe in Yourself

Everything great I ever did, an army said I couldn't do it. That's right. I was told by my guidance counselor I could never get into the Naval Academy. He was incorrect. I was one of 37 Distinguished Graduates in a class of 966. It is called determination.

Admiral Rickover told me I wasn't good enough to be in his nuclear power program. I told him he was wrong, and that I would be one of the best submarine officers he ever had. He threw me out of the office, but took me because I didn't crack under pressure. It's called courage.

Nov 26 - The Worse it Gets, The More We Look Up

Everyone is looking for guidance and direction, searching for purpose and meaning and most importantly, love. I will share the essence of my message: who you are is not what you do, life is NOT a destination stop called 401k, and money does NOT make you happy. We are energy, photons, light. We are a light being. We were born in the World of Light and we live in a World of Form. This Form has clouded who we are, and turned us into consumers. We are not consumers, we are citizens and we are souls. And We are the Power, we only have to remember.

Nov 13 - Who We Are and Why We Are Here: A Re-volution in Essence

I have studied the traffic coming to my website for over six years and the one unifying answer that people are searching for is the quintessential question regarding purpose: who am I, why am I here, what is my purpose?

What I have come to accept in every cell of my being is that I am a soul, I don't have a soul. I also believe that each of us is a combination of mental, physical and non-physical life force--a soul--and this in totality creates what I refer to as your essence.

Oct 22 - Straight from the Heart: I’m crying and I’m not sure why

I’m crying and I’m not sure why. I mean, I know I am filled with joy, and these are tears of joy, but I am wondering what exactly is it physiologically that makes this happen.
 

Oct 19 - My Prayer for America: Stand Up and Be Counted

My fellow Americans and global citizens, we stand on the edge of an important election season in America and I have a special prayer to share. I ask you to stand up and be counted. I ask you cast aside all petulant thoughts, and voice your opinion with the utmost respect and dignity.
 
Tell the world and the media that we the people of this great nation demand yes demand, that our president be a person whose words are congruent with his actions. We the people demand, because we deserve, we have the right, to see our presidential candidates act presidential.

Oct 04 - A Time For Choosing

A Time for Choosing

An excerpt from the Epilogue in 11 Days In May

We the people find ourselves at a once-in-a-lifetime tipping point, a dramatic awakening. A shift is occurring for humanity, and it is divinely ordained. It is a time when the people must unite and speak out so that all sides understand we must leave behind selfish desires from the World of Form.

Sep 10 - Can we communicate with souls or spirits on the other side?

The WeJit interactive discussion tool within 11 Days in May ebook gives readers the ability to share and vote on themes within 11 Days.

One of my favorite parables is how souls on the other side communicate to us.

You don't have to own the book to join the discussion. Please share your story and read those of others here.

It will bring you an amazing sense of peace...and you are likely going to get the Truth Bumps (another parable in 11 Days)!!

Sep 07 - How to Survive and Thrive the Next Ten Years

I am about to get on the Coast to Coast show with George Noory and I am listening to the show on how to survive with Jim Rawles. I am laughing because as I say in 11 Days in May--there are no accidents, a coincidence is really a synchronicity!

What is the synchronicity? The fact that 11 Days in May was IMHO, written to help you survive and thrive the next ten years. That was the subject of my CNN radio show, Global Evolution, for over 4 years. So thank you Jim and George for putting 11 Days in context.

Sep 06 - The 11th Commandment and Who or What Controls Your Life?

Everyone knows the 11th commandment, but they are actually afraid to talk about it. You see, the 11th commandment is actually not written. And once you understand what it is, then you will understand why it is not written.

The 11th commandment is this: thou shalt not talk about science and faith in the same lifetime.

Sep 03 - Coast-to-Coast AM interview with George Noory

All my friends keep asking me, "when are you going to be on Coast to Coast Radio again?"

Okay, here it is - Thursday September 6th, from 10 pm PACIFIC time till 2 am PT.

Check the station tab on their website for the AM station and time in your local market.

Or, do like I do, and sign up as a member, its not expensive, and then you can listen anytime.

Wish me luck and remember ... the truth will set you free!

Sep 02 - What are Truth Bumps? - Excerpt from 11 Days in May

What are Truth Bumps?
 
 
Oh, my Lord! I can’t believe what just happened.

What?

I got goose bumps.

Here we go again. What is a goose bump?

It’s a truth bump, a confirmation! It means that what you said, about the initiation and my purpose, is true! There are no accidents!

I know what a confirmation is but I have never heard of a truth bump or goose bump.

Sep 02 - What's in 11 Days - Book Review and Table of Contents

I just received a wonderful book review that can be found on Peggy's Perspective. Here is an excerpt:

What would happen if we all just let our mind go? If we stopped thinking about what we have to think about, and go wherever our soul takes us?  Thinking and pondering…not in the sense that we usually do–analyzing with our left brain–but allowing ourselves to really go outside the box, outside our “World of Form”.

Aug 31 - The Truth Will Set You Free--So What is Truth?

(Author note: this parable was originally written within 11 Days in May. As explained in the Epilogue, I removed it. Below is the original parable from What is Truth.)
 
 
I am so confused.
What are you confused about?
The truth.
Truth in regards to what in particular?
It doesn’t matter! The truth about global warming, deficits, taxes, candidates, God, life, living, pick a subject.
Truth is relative.
What is it relative to?

Aug 25 - You Can Run, But You Cannot Hide: It's Time to Choose

It is a time to choose and no one can avoid it. Who or what do you love more? Will you choose peace and unity, or separation and collapse?

Aug 25 - The Wisdom of We - Says it All

The Wisdom of We–how profound.
 
Rest assured, this is not a marketing gimmick that will lead you to the personal hygiene section of Walmart or Target for some overpriced product that is 98.2 percent water but selling for 100 times the price. And that my friends, is a symptom of the problem. If you do not understand what I just said, please do read on. I beg you. We need you to read on.
 
What is wisdom and what is “we”?
 

Aug 24 - The Way Forward - by Barry Mack

It's such a positive feeling idea.   I remember reading those words on JD's.   I had just met JD and we began a marvelous collaboration to create the book cover for "11 Days In May".

Seeing JD's website was inspiring and made me realize I was working with a very unusual guy.   After working together,  the ideas and spontaneous creative connection began to flow.   

The cover for "11 Days In May" turned out to be a perfect match for the wonder, wisdom and fun found inside the book.

Jan 11 - Creating a movement to change the US Constitution

Are you tired of members of Congress and the Senate receiving benefits greater than yours? If so, read on.

I just finished watching this TED video where Seth Godin is discussing TRIBES and how to lead a change, create a new product or even lead a revolution. 

What Seth says is that we have to find something worth changing and create a tribe- that doesn't have to be millions of people, it might only be a thousand - align them and then walla, you have a movement that can change the world.

Dec 14 - The Essence of Personal Integrity: What is personal integrity and why is there not more?

I started a discussion forum in my fan club on LinkedIn,  Power of Essence with JD Messinger, to start a discussion on the essence of cadinal virtues and values and why there seems to be such a decline in society.
