In the business world I had been used to “making things happen” and focusing on results. I was continually pushing or pulling the outcomes of events and circumstances rather than focusing my highest intention and then allowing the optimum outcome to unfold.

What I want to say is simply that we are all surrounded by an ocean of abundance: knowledge, wisdom, ability, opportunities, material plenty. What a pity it is that people close themselves off from that spiritual environment. Keeping their gaze fixed on the ground, they trudge through a life burdened with worries, fears, and self-doubts.

Spotted Fawn left a legacy as well. She taught me, and many others, that it’s not enough to plan and execute a project intellectually. If a project is to grow and prosper, it needs to be rooted in the spirit, in the body, in the community, as well as in the mind. And in her final months of life, Spotted Fawn bore her adversity with dignity and good humor. She was neither a whiner nor a complainer.

How is a positive affirmation practiced? Let us say that you have chosen the positive words “Everything will definitely get better!” Whenever you have a chance, say this phrase aloud over and over again. Or, you could try inhaling deeply, then repeating the phrase in your mind many times while holding your breath. Many people have found that, through this practice, their thought habits really do change, and their circumstances take a turn for the better.

Much has been written and said about the creative power of thoughts and words – especially words. But it seems to me that few people truly understand this power. If they understood it, how could they go on using words with such carelessness?

The activity of a creative field becomes further invigorated when similar creative fields are generated by other people. This is because creative fields having the same vibrational frequency tend to merge, forming large-scale collective creative fields. These collective creative fields can be extremely pervasive. The bigger they are, the more powerfully they respond to thoughts emanating from people in various places.

The thoughts, words, and emotions that human beings emit from moment to moment are constantly streaming forth from their bodies, forming creative fields that are visible in various colors, forms, and shapes. Some of these creative fields are hazy and cloudy in appearance, and they hover around the person in indeterminate patterns. Others are extremely tenacious, and they twine tightly around the person like a resilient string.

Our spiritual ecology simply does not permit private awakening.

A range of different types of consciousness is available to human beings. It’s a kind of anomaly that postmodern Western culture has narrowed the range of that what we are encouraged to have. Maybe it’s not so much a transformation we are speaking of, but an opening. It’s a reclaiming.32.

Clarified states of consciousness are contagious.
