James Ray interviews Hulk Hogan

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

In the interview below, Hulk Hogan opens up to James Ray about some serious issues in his personal life and how he uses his level of awareness to perservere.

Hulk Hogan’s son, Nick Hogan, was recently arrested for reckless driving.  The customary sentence for that crime is six months of probation.  The judge told Nick, who is a minor, that because of who he was (Hulk’s son), he would be sentenced to eight months in maximum security with adult prisoners.  Nick even spent some time in solitary confinement.

Hulk discusses how he and his son utilize James Ray’s programs and books to deal with the situation.  Hulk says that he reminds his son to find something to be grateful for in spite of being held in maximum security.  James Ray talks about how many people can look back at difficult times in their life and see the lesson in hindsight.  However, the Masters can see the lesson they are supposed to learn in that moment and as a result are in a state of gratitude regardless of the circumstances.  Hulk says this mindset has helped his son get through this incredibly challenging ordeal and grow into a much stronger man.

The interview below is part 5 of a 5 part interview and is 10 minutes long.

 

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - McCully Family

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Last night’s episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition featured a 10 year old boy, Job McCully, who survived leukemia and a bone marrow and double lung transplant.  From ages 6 to 10, Job lived in a hospital.  After he was released, he was unable to return to his home because it contained mildew-infested walls that would have threatened his lungs. 

The Extreme Makeover team and Job’s community reached out and decided to rebuild the McCully’s home.  They made sure that it would be safe for Job to live in and incorporated many of his interests such as a pirate themed room and a small camp ground in the backyard.  Job’s parents broke down in tears when they saw their new home.  His dad said he wished he could capture the look on Job’s face when he saw his new room in a bottle.  His mother remarked that she had named Job after the Job in the Bible who also overcame great hardship early in his life, but was then met with unexpected blessings.

Dr. Michael Beckwith on overcoming obstacles

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

In the audio-visual clip below, Dr. Michael Beckwith talks about how to overcome obstacles.  He states that we can overcome our obstacles by asking, what quality do I need to develop or what do I need to learn in order to move through this?  He goes on to say that we need obstacles in life because that is when grow spiritually.  The amount of strength it takes to to overcome an obstacle does not develop when times are easy and everything is going our way. 

Additionally, he explains that we should write down what our life would look like if it were perfect and then to allow ourselves to feel how good that would feel.  Focusing on what we want, rather than dwelling on the obstacles in front of us, recalibrates our nervous system and opens us up to receiving direct inspiration about how to manifest the life that we desire.

The metaphysics of Katie Holmes on Eli Stone

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Katie Holmes appeared on the Eli Stone show last night in one of Eli’s visions.  The rest of the episode Eli tries to figure out what if anything his vision means and whether or not to meet with the woman in his vision.

This raises some metaphysical questions.  For example, all of us have moments where we see what is possible for our lives in the future or we have a dream or vision that incorporates unfamiliar people and places.  Sometimes the significance of these dreams is obvious.  Other times, the meaning is not immediately revealed.  We are left to grapple with the meaning of these places and people that appear in our dreams and visions.  Many people report having seen a particular place in a dream and then being at that exact location many years later without any prior knowledge of its existence.

The show does not offer any direct explanation for the occurrence of these esoteric events.  However, it does suggest that sometimes we experience certain phenomenon for the soul reason of reminding us that something greater than ourself is active in our life.  This episode does an effective job of asking these questions and leaving it up to us to find our own answers.

The video clip of Katie Holmes in Eli Stone’s vision is below.  Viewer warning:  Some of the dancing and images is suggestive.

 

 

Tavis Smiley with Will Smith on Law of Attraction

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

In the video clip below, Will Smith talks to Tavis Smiley about creating the life you desire.  He emphasizes how important it is to decide who you are going to be and what you want in your life.  He says in that moment of decision, the Universe will open up and get out of your way.  The underlying message is that you need to develop the mindset that you deserve to live the life of your dreams and that you are in the process of living the life of your dreams.  Once you become committed to to following your dreams, all of the obstacles in your life transform into building blocks that help you develop the necessary muscles to carry out your life purpose. 

Will Smith not only talks the talk, but he walks the walk.  He knows that his calling in life is to be actor and once remarked that it would be spiritually criminal for him to ignore his talents as an entertainer.  This type of mindset propelled him into stardom and also inspires him to give back to his community by spending his time working with inner city youth.
