James Twyman will be the host of a weekly program on Hay House Radio starting Monday, October 5th at 9AM (PST). The Soul of Attraction is a revolutionary look at the Law of Attraction and how it applies to more than simply “getting what we want,” but sharing our soul with humanity. Each week James will welcome guests (Debbie Ford on Oct. 5) as well as take live calls from the audience. We want to invite everyone to join him and to take the step into Soul Manifestation yourself.

        Motivational speaker Les Brown says you gotta be hungry to go after your dreams.  According to him,

“The people who are running after their dreams know they’re going to have hard times, but they keep on running because they are saying within themselves:  

        ’I'm the one!  I’m the one!  No matter how bad it is or how bad it gets.  I’m going to make it.’

The people that are running after their dreams are hungry.”

      It’s not always easy to go after our dreams, especially during tough times. When our circumstances are comfortable and easy, the desire to go after our dreams can soften.  However, when are faced with adversity and uncomfortable situations our commitment to our dreams is tempered, sharpened and we become hungry enough to take the actions that we need to take to fulfill our dreams.

In the video clip below, Sonia Choquette talks about how we can work with nature to change old patterns. She uses the example of a wave crashing to show that we can actually collapse and transform old thought patterns that no longer serve us. And then, simply take a different path in the future towards the thought patterns that will most benefit us.

Ellen DeGeneres gave the 2009 Commencement Speech at Tulane. During that speech, she talked about how a tragic event led her to find her life purpose….

She was 19 years-old and her girlfriend was killed in a car accident. At that time Ellen was living in a basement apartment, had no money and no idea what she wanted to do with her life. She began to do some serious soul-searching and wanted to know why her friend died, what she was going to do with her life and what her purpose in life was. During her talk, she says,

“Wouldn’t it be so convenient if we could just pick up the phone and call God and ask Him all these questions”

This moment of desperate inspiration prompted Ellen to write down her own one-sided conversation with God and what poured out of her was the realization that she was going to do stand up comedy on Johnny Carson and be the first woman in the history of the show to be called over to sit next to Johnny after doing stand up on his show…Well, several years later Ellen appeared on Johnny Carson and was the first and only woman in the history of the show to do stand up comedy and then be invited to sit next to Johnny Carson.

Eckhart Tolle is starting an online TV show. The October show will explore the essence of the Tao te Ching, a spiritual classic that has accompanied Tolle for thirty years. For more information, you can visit http://www.eckharttolletv.com

Agape International Spiritual Center, led by Rev. Michael Beckwith, will have its first official video streaming beginning this Sunday August 30.

You may go to www.AgapeLive.com during the service time of your choice on Sunday to watch it online.

The Sunday Morning Services include an 8:30 AM PST Meditation followed by a 9:00 AM PST Service and an 11:00 AM PST Meditation with a 11:30 AM PST Service.

The Agape service generally includes readings from spiritual texts, singing from the Agape International Choir and a moving talk by Rev. Michael Beckwith.

I don’t know what it will be like watching an Agape service online, but I have been to Agape’s service live before and it was truly an awe-inspiring experience filled with the Presence of God.

This summer marks the 40 year anniversary of Woodstock, which brings up stories, images and memories of the hippie subculture. The hippie movement started out with good intentions: Peace and Love…However, their intentions and actions became distracted largely because of excessive drug use and historical events that instilled fear in the minds of people who stood for peace. It is understandable that a culture who aspired to create a society based on peace and love would be distracted – given that the two greatest, public leaders of their time who stood for peace and equality were assassinated for taking a stand for those values: John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr…

Today, I believe we are witnessing a rebirth of a more disciplined and refined hippie movement.  The modern-day hippie uses prayer and meditation to expand their consciousness, not LSD. Instead of being wandering vagabonds, today’s hippies are trailblazing attorneys, entrepreneurs and entertainers who are using business, the law and entertainment to create revolutionary platforms, organizations and changes that are making a real and long-lasting contribution to the upliftment and transformation of humanity. Today’s movement shall not be distracted by tragedy; instead we will be motivated to bring Light to darkness.

I think everyone has a sense of destiny in their life — a personal calling to live a life that is greater than what society would expect from them. It is not always easy to trust in this calling because we may be inspired to take risks that lead to outcomes that others would view as failure. When we are inspired to take an action that produces a result that appears to be less than desirable, it is important to remain fiercely committed to our initial vision that prompted us to take the action. We have complete control in determining what these events mean to us and how to interpret them. It can helpful to view these temporary setbacks as stepping stones that are guiding us to fulfill our destiny even if we might not completely understand how.

Marianne Williamson talks about how the means we use to achieve our goals are more important than actually achieving the goal. For example, who we are becoming when we are going after our goals is more important than actually achieving our goals…If we lack a solid foundation, then any goal we achieve will be short-lived or sabotaged… Alternatively, if we can become a person of integrity,love and strength, then we will naturally attract similar people, events and circumstances into our life that are consistent with our current state of who we are being and make it a lot easier for us to achieve our goals and sustain the success.

The cartoon below attempts to explain the ‘observer effect’ using animated quantum physics. If you liked What the Bleep, then you will love this cartoon. It uses quantum physics to show that when we change the way we look at things, the things we look at begin to change. Scientists still do not know exactly why, but when a wave function is not observed it remains a wave. However, when a wave is observed, it turns into a particle.

Many personal development authors, theologians, and quantum physicists cite this research as a scientific explanation for the law of attraction, power of intention or more traditionally why prayer can lead to unexplainable healing. It is unclear to what extent our thoughts, intentions, prayers, and consciousness impact our physical reality; however, it is clear and has been shown with double blind experiments that what is held in the mind does impact our physical reality and also tends to manifest in our life when the conditions are appropriate.
