Two winners! Great responses to our survey, “What are your next steps to align with your purpose?”

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| Leave a comment

We have two winners!  Laura Young and Maria Franconi, are the winners in our survey, “What are your next steps to align with your purpose?” We are sending them out a free signed copy of my book NexGen Human – A Modern Age Path to Fulfillment.

Laura wrote:
“I have been listening to speakers online, trying new better ways of “being” and working at putting them into practice. I am gaining new perspectives, clearing blocks, and sorting out what is true for me. I am getting out of fear from the doom and gloom of the old paradigm and into my heart living more in love and joy. Spreading the word God is love and will provide, and sharing my new ways.. I am serving others, many of which are needy, despite being between 2 houses in 2 states trying to get moved.”

Nice, Laura! You are very much on the path, doing your work (both internal and external) and serving others.  To acknowledge and further support the great work you are doing I am honored to send you a free signed copy of my book “NexGen Human – A Modern Age Path to Fulfillment.” 

Maria wrote:
“My next step in aligning with my purpose is actually asking people to work with me. It is so essential to moving forward, the dang ASK. How much more aligned can you be? Yes, always more, but ya gatta ask people if they would like your help, if your purpose is to help them. I’m doing a workshop tomorrow night and I’m going to ask to people to work with me. Programs I had in place ages ago are rusty, because I haven’t asked people to work with me. I’m going for it anyway. As uncomfortable as it may be, I’m aligned and asking. Yah!”

I love how you are being more bold and courageous in getting your gifts out into the world. Reminds me of the saying “You already have the no, therefore you have nothing to lose by asking!”

Congratulations to you both, and thanks to everyone who responded!

Namaste and Blessings,
Roger

Slay the 3 Dragons at the Doors of Wisdom!

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| 4 Comments

This picture was taken on my recent trip to Arizona for my Spirit Walk and Vision Quest. The mountains in the background are The Superstitions, east of Phoenix. The giant cactus is the famous saguaro, which can grow to over 70 feet in height! Speaking of superstition; you don’t need superstition when you have access to true wisdom. Again, however, the question is “How do you access true wisdom?”

When you’re on a vision quest you’re all alone. It’s a school like no other; there are no classrooms, no books, and no teachers at the front of the room leading the lessons. It’s just you and nature. But there is still plenty of teaching going on. How can that be? Where is the teaching coming from and how are the lessons learned?

A vision quest takes you out of your normal environment, removing you from all normal responsibilities and habitual cues (aka “distractions”). Very often you’re fasting, so even the distractions of eating and digesting are removed. In nature, in silence, with no distractions for an extended period of time, your senses become heightened. This helps facilitate an altered state of awareness that isn’t normally accessed. In this state of awareness a space is made where you experience thoughts you don’t normally have; these types of thoughts we typically call insights, wisdom, and guidance.

In this blog we’ll explore the challenges associated with accessing deep wisdom, insights, and guidance. We’ll come to understand why this level of “truth” is so uncommon in our world and why it might take fasting and isolation in nature to access it.

Read on and enjoy!

Wisdom is rare and cherished because it comes from a place not normally accessed by most people in day-to-day living. We all typically know it when we hear it, but we’re not always able to produce it for ourselves. Why is that? What stops the average person from being a truly wise and insightful person? What is it about wisdom that makes it so hard to come by?

The answer: Three Dragons. To access true wisdom, insight, and guidance you must navigate past three dragons on your journey. Each of these dragons is unique and formidable and each has won more battles than it’s lost. These block your entrance into the realms of wisdom inherent in your mind, heart, and soul.

In his book Theory U – Leading from the Future as it Emerges, author Otto Scharmer distinguishes these dragons as the Voice of Judgment (VOJ), Voice of Cynicism (VOC), and the Voice of Fear (VOF). To access true wisdom you must do battle with each of these three dragons, or voices, and emerge victorious.

To access the creativity and wisdom available in your mind you must overcome the Voice of Judgment. This is that voice most of us are very familiar with. You know the one, the one that says “That’s a stupid idea.” Or, “Who do you think you are?” Or, “Play it safe and keep your head down beneath the mow line.” These voices of judgment are most often automatic and largely subconscious, habitual, response patterns to anything outside the norm. Therefore, to access anything OUTSIDE the norm (like wisdom) we must be aware of this dragon and be prepared to do battle.

To access the rich depth of wisdom and joy-filled love and connectivity available in your heart, you must overcome the Voice of Cynicism. This is the voice that keeps you “safely” separate from others and the world, putting everything and everyone at arm’s length. This voice is afraid to be vulnerable and sees vulnerability as a direct threat to survival. This voice says “Oh no, we already tried that before and we got hurt, remember? We ain’t going there again.” Or worse, “You can’t trust anyone,” “It’s better to hurt others before they hurt you,” and the infamous “It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there.” This voice, this dragon, will keep you separate, alone, and bitter.

And finally, to access your deepest wisdom and guidance, the wisdom and guidance of your soul, you must overcome the Voice of Fear. While the voices of judgment and cynicism are formidable, they can’t hold a candle to the voice of fear. This is the ultimate dragon at the gate that goes right to your core animalistic instincts for survival. This voice strives to maintain the status quo and holds onto what you already have and know. Doing battle with this voice, this dragon, can feel like death itself. All of your deepest fears can become activated: “I’ll be broke and homeless,” “I’ll be rejected and ridiculed,” “I’ll be all alone.” Because some of your most powerful wisdom and insights reside in your soul, it of course has the biggest dragon to slay.

I bet you can recognize each of these voices and dragons in you. I’m sure you’ve done battle with each of them at some point in your life. Did you win? Or did they win? The truth is, we win some and we lose some. But the most wise, authentic, inspired and fulfilling life is marked by simply being aware and being willing to engage these battles. Whether you win or lose is not so much the point. But did you engage whole-heartedly and honorably?

These “battles” are only with ourselves. As one of my favorite trainers, T. Harv Eker has said “A warrior is one who conquers oneself.” Your best “weapons” for these types of “battles” are awareness, courage, and compassion. First, be aware that these dragons, these voices will be on your path. Just being aware is half the battle itself! Second, have the courage to face them and engage them. Don’t back down; know that HOW you engage is more important than winning. And third, have compassion for not only yourself, but have compassion for these aspects of yourself;  have compassion for these dragons and voices. Ultimately they are far more afraid than you are – you need to step up and show them the way out of their suffering and smallness.

All this is not to say that sometimes these voices SHOULD be listened to. They really are there to protect us. From their limited perspective they think they are helping and protecting us. However, more often than not, they are way overprotective.  Knowing when to listen and when to ignore is part of a discernment you can develop over time. As you get to know your voices and dragons they become more and more familiar, making them a lot easier to sort out and move on through and beyond.

If you are interested in learning how to slay the dragons on your path to wisdom, I invite you to engage The Major Good Mojo System.

Your Major Good Mojo Assignment:

As I said above, awareness is the first step to winning the battle with the dragons at your gate. Take out a piece of paper, divide it into three sections and label the first section Voice of Judgment, the second section Voice of Cynicism, and the third section Voice of Fear.

Take a deep breath and ask yourself “What are some automatic judgments I often make that keep me safe and small?” And write down whatever comes up. Keep asking yourself that question until the answers stop coming. Then do the same process asking, “In what ways am I cynical and keeping everyone and everything at arms distance, staying separate and alone?” And finally ask yourself, “What are my biggest fears stopping me from truly being who I am and doing what I came here to do?”

Just asking yourself these questions and listening to yourself is an act of wisdom that will move you closer to Major Good Mojo!

Do God, your Higher Self, or Vortexes in Sedona Exist or Not?

Posted on July 9, 2012 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| 4 Comments

The picture is of me in Sedona, Arizona on the Airport Mesa Vortex.  Being in Sedona is like living in a postcard.  The scenery is so beautiful it feels surreal.  As you probably know, Sedona has various spots spread out around the valley among the rock formations that are designated as Vortexes.  A Vortex is a place exhibiting unique geological energies that can increase and enhance intuition, insight, intention, vitality, and even wisdom. 

Whether you believe these Vortexes actually exist or not depends on you.  Many people come to Sedona to meditate, pray, and perform rituals on the Vortexes.  These people have deep and profound experiences at these sacred spots and absolutely validate their existence. Others come to Sedona with an open mind and visit the spots out of curiosity just to see if they experience anything; some do, some don’t.  And others have no interest in the Vortexes, believe they have no power or existence in the real world, and that they are the made up fantasies of people slightly “off their rocker.”

So, how is it for you? Typically, how you approach the phenomenon of Vortexes determines your experience of them.  Why is that?  This is not true of all things in our world.  I mean, you don’t have to have an open mind and believe in the Sun to validate its existence; anyone can look up in the sky and see the brightly burning ball of light.  Hello!  There it is!  There is obviously something there.  So what is it about a phenomenon like the Sedona Vortexes that results in a wide variation of human experience – from those who discover a profound reality, to those who believe it is all a ridiculous made up fantasy?

In this blog we’ll go a little deeper into the nature of subtle phenomenon and explore why there is such a wide range of human experience with these things. In many ways “God” or your Higher Self is a subtle phenomenon – just like a Sedona Vortex.  Being able to know and experience your Higher Self or your God as a profound reality for you is a major outcome of the Major Good Mojo System.

Read on and enjoy!

Do God, your Higher Self, or Vortexes in Sedona Exist or Not?

The first reason there is a wide variety of experiences when it comes to some elements of life has to do with how easy, or difficult, it is to experience something.  Some elements of life are easy to experience and validate as “real,” and some elements of life are more subtle and therefore more difficult to experience and validate as real.  Note: this does not mean they are less powerful, it just means they are more subtle, and because of that, they are more difficult to access and experience.

Many things in life are very easy to experience.  Examples of commonly experienced phenomenon in the world, things that are easy to experience, include: the sun, a cloud, the temperature of the air, the hardness of cement, the taste of food, the smell of a rose, the sound of a symphony.  To experience these things as real, we use our normal and established senses of seeing, touching, tasting, smelling, and hearing.  If we can see, touch, taste, smell, or hear something, we say that it is “real,” we say that it “exists in the real world.”  On the other hand, if we cannot see, touch, taste, smell, or hear something, most people would have no experience of that thing and therefore would say it does not exist.  But is that really true?

To know if something exists or not, we need to have SOME experience of it, beyond the thought in our head.  Otherwise it really is just a made up fantasy that has no existence in reality for us.  So HOW do we experience the more subtle phenomenon in our world?   How can we validate their existence?  Answer:  we need to either enhance the power of the senses we do have, or develop new ones.

Examples of the first method are very common in today’s scientific world.  Take for example the electron microscope.  This is a man-made enhancement to our sense of sight.  With the electron microscope we can see things that we normally cannot see with the naked eye.  Both the microscope and the telescope, enhancements to our sense of sight, have opened up whole new worlds of experience (and reality) to us.  And there are many other examples of man-made sense enhancements.

At this point I want to point out something very important:  just because you initially cannot experience something with your normal senses, does not mean it does not exist.  For example, just because you cannot see an atom or have any real experience of it with any of your normal senses, does not mean that atoms do not exist.  Obviously, we know they do.  Also, with your normal senses while on earth you cannot see that the world is round, yet I bet you believe it is round.  So obviously, things can exist in reality that we cannot experience with our “normal” senses.  All you can truly say is “I have not experienced it” or “It does not exist FOR ME.”  From there, determining whether something is real or not for you, becomes more about seeking the experience of it.

So, again, back to our question of HOW do we experience the more subtle phenomenon in our world.  The first is by man-made enhancements to our senses, which we just talked about.  The second is by naturally enhancing our own normal senses and developing new ones (e.g. the sixth sense).  So how do we do this?  Mostly it’s done by paying attention to them.  Where attention goes, energy flows.  You can expand your sense of seeing, touching, tasting, smelling, and hearing just by paying more attention to them.  We’ve all experienced this before.  For example, you can enhance your hearing by really listening to someone.  What is really listening?  It’s paying attention – bringing your awareness to a focused point.  You can do this with all your senses. You could say this is a “presencing” practice – the practice of being fully in the present moment.  When you are fully in the present moment, all of your senses are enhanced and you come alive.  You see things you didn’t see before, hear things you didn’t hear before, and feel things you didn’t feel before – LIKE A VORTEX!  

You see, the main barrier to experiencing the more subtle aspects of living is being up in the head thinking, analyzing, and judging (this is Human Doing vs. Human Being).  If you are up in your head thinking, analyzing, and judging, you are not in your body and you are not open and fully present; you are doing-thinking and not being-here.  Therefore, you cannot access the more subtle aspects of the present moment. Heck, most people are not seeing, hearing, and feeling most of the NON subtle aspects, never mind the very subtle aspects!  If you wolf down your food at lunch, barely tasting a thing, then race out to this vortex-thing in the desert, chances are high your experience will be no more than one of simply standing on a rock and naturally you will conclude “There is nothing going on here.”

In addition to this natural tendency on doing-thinking, we have been trained by “normal life” to need explosive experiences to experience anything at all.  Look at the Hollywood movies today – the experience is like being hit over the head with a two-by-four with 10 million watts of surround sound blasting out and 3D images practically punching you in the face.  Many people have become so accustomed to this “in your face” level of experience, that unless life is coming at them at this level they have no experience at all and “nothing is happening.” 

I’ve been practicing presencing for more than 10 years now.  It’s a practice of dropping down into my body, out of my head, and fully opening up to the present moment.  I bring my awareness to my breath and relax and open every cell in my body.  It is a meditative state of full presence.  When I first got to the Airport Mesa Vortex I was awed by the view, but I was not having any “profound” experience of energy.  However, as I found a place to sit – away from others – and slowly moved into my state of full presence, I experienced an amazing energy moving through my body, illuminating and opening all my chakras, and became so resonant with joy that it brought tears to my eyes.  I experienced an extraordinary integration with nature and everything around me. I was one with all and very happy to be there.  I felt dizzy after the experience and somewhat floaty, it was like walking on air.  For me, there was an unusual and very powerful energy available at this Vortex spot, but only experienced when I became fully present, open, and available to it.  For me, the Vortex was and is a profound reality, something that actually exists in the real world.

So do God, or your Higher Self, or Vortexes in Sedona exist or not?  Are they part of the real world, or are they a made up fantasy?  The answer is up to YOU.  You get to say what’s true and real for you. 

If you are interested in developing your access to these more subtle energies in the world and tap into the extraordinary power they have to offer, I invite you to engage The Major Good Mojo System.

Your Major Good Mojo Assignment:

Take a moment and reflect upon HOW you determine what’s real for you and what’s not.  How much do you rely upon what others say?  Think about the more subtle and “hard to believe” aspects of your life and living.  Do you automatically dismiss the possibility that something exists if you have not experienced it yourself?  Or are you more open to the possibility and willing to say “I have not experienced it so it does not yet exist FOR ME.” 

For those areas of your life that you find hard to believe, see if you can adopt the more open-minded perspective of “Just because I have not experienced it, does not mean it does not exist,” and exercise your willingness to explore these subtle and harder to experience aspects of your life.  This is the first step to actually experiencing them and making them a reality in your life!  What an adventure!

Developing your access to the more subtle energies in the world and tapping into the extraordinary power they have to offer is a major key to Major Good Mojo!

We are All Connected! Literally!

Posted on June 25, 2012 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| Leave a comment

Last weekend I spent a blissful 2.5 days at The Esalen Institute in Big Sur on the beautiful California coast with my ITP (Integral Transformative Practice) Mastery community.  As you can see from the picture above, we were literally glowing from the experience. If you’ve been to Esalen, you know what I’m talking about. If you have not, I highly recommend you go.

One of our objectives for the weekend was to activate and explore the “unified field of practice.” This is a basic concept of Gestalt theory, best described as a “web of interconnection between person and situation, self and others, organism and environment, the individual and the communal.[i]

There is more and more evidence being produced which indicates everything is connected – literally! And some of the experimental evidence indicates that these connections can be strengthened or weakened in various ways. We intuitively know and experience this; the more time you spend with someone the more connected you become. However, this is happening in a far more profound way than we might at first imagine.

There are far-reaching implications involved in really grasping the knowledge that we are literally connected to all things. All things are truly affecting one another. With a deep knowing and experience of this invisible truth, your life can be transformed in the most beautiful ways.

In this blog Major Good Mojo we’ll explore this unfolding reality and knowledge of our deep connection to all things. Coming to know and experience this connection for yourself is a major outcome of the Major Good Mojo System.

Read on and enjoy!

We are all connected! Literally!

“The most definitive experimental support so far for the idea of nonlocality in human brain-minds was performed by neurophysiologist Jacobo Grinbert-Zylberbaum and his collaborators. In this experiment two subjects are instructed to interact for a period of thirty or forty minutes until they start feeling a “direct communication.” They then enter separate Faraday cages (metallic enclosures that block all electromagnetic signals). Unbeknownst to his or her partner, one of the subjects is now shown a flickering light signal that produces an evoked potential (an electrophysiological response produced by a sensory stimulus and measured by an EEG) in the light-stimulated brain. But amazingly, as long as the partners in the experiment maintain their direct communication, the unstimulated brain also shows an electrophysiological activity, called a transfer potential, quite similar in shape and strength to the evoked potential of the stimulated brain. (In contrast, control subjects do not show any transfer potential). The straightforward explanation is quantum nonlocality: The two brain-minds act as a nonlocally correlated system – the correlation established and maintained through nonlocal consciousness – by virtue of the quantum nature of the brains.”
The Self Aware Universe ~ Amit Goswami

The Self Aware Universe was published in 1993. At that time this experimental evidence was ridiculed and dismissed by some as random chance and trivial. However, in the time since then, the study has been replicated by other research centers lending far more credibility to the results. This data indicates we truly are connected in a metaphysical reality beyond our normal senses and everyday awareness.

 As a Licensed HeartMath Provider I am well aware of the scientific data indicating our connections to one another via an electromagnetic field. This field has been measured up to 10 feet away from the body. And, when two people are together their heart and brain waves (measured by EKG and EEG) become synchronized; they become entrained. This alone is an amazing fact and it’s powerful to realize the power of your heart and its effect on your environment.

However, the data presented by Amit Goswami points to an even more stunning revelation of connection, a field of connection we have not measured, a field of connection where we see only effects indicating its existence. This is a field beyond our sense capacities, yet impacting our normal day-to-day lives. As a species, we are only just now beginning to comprehend this reality and grapple with its far-reaching implications.

In ITP, when community members are not together, we say they are in the “long body.” The long body is a concept indicating we are all connected through a larger entity of which we are all a part, a body if you will, a long body that covers any distance that may be between us. And, as connected practitioners, how we are (or are not) practicing, affects everyone in our community, through this long body. Others benefit from my strong practice, and I benefit from theirs. And this applies vice versa, with respect to not practicing.

To make this more vivid, consider the analogy of white-water rafting. Think of a raft with eight people in it, navigating frothy, fast-moving, white water. Everyone in the boat benefits from each person’s active paddling. Each person contributes. AND everyone suffers when even just one person stops paddling and “goes along for the ride.”

As George Leonard so eloquently wrote in his book, The Silent Pulse:  “A world of connectedness, potential, and evolution turns us toward a vivid sense of community along with the acceptance of personal responsibility; toward a de-emphasis on competing and winning along with reemphasis on participating and experiencing; from aggression toward gentleness and enjoyment; from dominance of nature to blending with nature; from exponential growth in production and consumption to a more moderate, more ecological standard of living along with a powerful intentionality toward social justice throughout the world.

Perhaps more than anything else, the new world offers us the thrill of novelty and surprise. Can we call it Transformation?”

To develop your knowing and felt sense of connectedness to all things, I invite you to engage The Major Good Mojo System.

Your Major Good Mojo Assignment:

Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and sense into your connectedness with all things. If it’s true that you are connected, literally connected, to all things (and experimental evidence is demonstrating this is so), what does this mean for your life? How might you live differently? Jot down a few notes and continue to contemplate and live into this new reality for the next few days (or the rest of your life if you so choose J)

Congratulations, you are one step closer to Major Good Mojo!

How to Stay Connected to Spirit and Passion

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| Leave a comment

This picture was taken at the Esalen Institute on California’s Big Sur Coast, as I gazed out over their “Great Lawn” to the Pacific Ocean. I selected the picture for this eZine because the two art pieces nicely demonstrate the typical path one follows living in Spirit and creating a passion-filled life. It’s never a straight line! However, over time, with a consciously engaged practice, there is progress, and often significant, beautiful progress.

One of my favorite quotes from human potential pioneer Michael Murphy, co-founder of the Esalen Institute, is “The question isn’t whether to engage a practice or not, because you’re already practicing something. The question is what are you practicing?” Michael is referring to our ability to consciously choose what we practice in our lives. Are you choosing to practice fear, worry, and concern? This choice, if you can call it that, is typically made unconsciously and by default. Or, are you choosing to practice joy, love, and generosity? This choice is usually made in a more conscious and intentional way.

In this blog we look at one of the most important ingredients for creating your life’s dreams and desires: having and establishing a consciously created daily personal practice. This is Step 8 of the Major Good Mojo System: “Stay connected to Spirit and Passion.”

Read on and enjoy!

How to Stay Connected to Spirit and Passion

Step 8 of the 10 Step Major Good Mojo System is “Stay connected to Spirit and Passion.” Spirit and your passions go hand in hand. As Chris and Janet Attwood, authors of “The Passion Test,” often say, “What you love and God’s will for you are one and the same.” As you deepen your connection to your Higher Self and become more and more adept at listening to and following its guidance, you’ll find you’re led to your passions. You’re led to move and take action on what it is you love. Step by step you’ll be fulfilling your passions, your dharma, and your purpose. This step, Step 8, is about putting in place a practice that keeps you connected to Spirit and your passions day in and day out.

I cannot overemphasize the importance of a long-term, daily practice. It’s inside of this long-term context that your true transformation and evolution will be most powerfully facilitated. In a long-term practice you have the time to experience what does and does not work for you, what is and is not efficient. Then you are able to tune and optimize.

Living and fulfilling your passions is the result of the path of practice, and it occurs and is engaged OVER TIME. Therefore you need to be on a path of regular practice that marks your way, guides you, supports you, and keeps your evolution on track. It’s like creating a groove in a piece of wood with a rock, or perhaps on a piece of glass with a diamond; the first time you practice you just scratch the surface of the wood or glass. But then each time you practice, over and over again, you deepen that groove, and subsequently those things you are working on. Your connection to Source and Heart Wisdom, seeing the good in everything, going with the flow, transcending limiting beliefs, embracing the contraction and low energy times in your life, and expressing and creating your authentic life purpose, all eventually become the natural path for divine energy flow in your life.

It’s also important to note that for your practice to have deep transformational value it must continue independent of what is going on in your life. If you allow life to rule you, you will soon stop your practice. However, if you engage your practice independent of the conditions in your life, you can persist. This means you choose to do your practice for no reason and you do it no matter what.

You can look at your life as your ultimate long-term practice. Over your years on this earth you discover what works and doesn’t work for you, making adjustments, learning and deepening your connection to Source, until you ultimately and literally do dissolve into the oneness. Your long-term practice can be a microcosm of this ultimate and real long-term practice of your life – becoming more free, present, powerful, and joy-filled – while still alive and animating your physical form.

And don’t be afraid to try out different practices. Do what works for you. I’ve engaged many different forms and my transformational practice has continually evolved. Know that something may work for you and be very powerful at one stage of your life, then you grow beyond it and are ready for something else. Don’t feel like you have to select something and stay with it forever. Be free to evolve and engage and create what works for you.

Establishing your own, customized, daily practice that keeps you connected to Spirit and your passions is a major benefit of the Major Good Mojo System. To experience the power this can provide in your life, I invite you to engage the The Major Good Mojo Coaching System.

Your Major Good Mojo Assignment:

Take a look in your life to identify any daily practices you have that keep you connected to Spirit and your passions. If you have some, great, keep doing those. If you don’t, spend a few minutes right now to think of one or two things you might do each day to get more connected. Perhaps you’ll choose to read some uplifting and inspiring words, or start a gratitude journal, or walk in nature, or even meditate. These are all simple things that, if engaged consciously each day, can become a powerful practice in and for your life.

Consciously choosing, creating, and engaging a long-term daily practice is one of the most powerful things you can do.

Congratulations – you are one step closer to Major Good Mojo!

Open Up and Bloom – It’s Your Choice

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| Leave a comment

It has been said that human beings are the only creatures privileged with the ability to refuse to bloom and open up. Why is that? Why are we privileged in this sense and why do we resist?

We are privileged because as conscious beings we have the power of choice. You can say yes to things or you can say no. You can say yes to Divine Guidance and Wisdom or you can resist and say no. It’s your choice. Consider this quote by Rumi: “Who says the eternal being does not exist? Who says the sun has gone out? Someone who climbs up on the roof, and closes his eyes tight, and says I don’t see anything.” You see, you CAN go to the rooftop and close your eyes tightly – it’s your choice. Buy why would you do that? Well, there are a lot of reasons, but a big one may be having been hurt by past experiences of trusting and opening up.

And why do we resist? Because we’ve been hurt in the past, or experienced other “flavors” of hurt like disappointment and failure. We close down and resist blooming and opening. This is a normal human mechanism for safety and protection that can of course be helpful. We’ve been hurt before and we don’t want it to happen again so we create strategies to prevent it. However, things are always changing, and these automatic mechanisms and strategies can become outdated over time and become more hurtful than helpful.

At some point the resistance to blooming can become so painful that we must choose to bloom! However, before reaching that point, we can help the blooming process by proactively looking at those things that are keeping us closed and resistant. We can look for the outdated strategies that are no longer helpful, and begin to dismantle them and their grip on our life. Doing this important work is the topic of this blog and is Step 7 of the Major Good Mojo System “Let Go of Old, Negative Stuff – Beliefs, Habits, and Patterns.” 

NOTE:  An easy and powerful tool that will help you address and clear negative beliefs and blocks is a short guided-meditation audio program called “Shift It.” Check it out here!

Open Up and Bloom! – It’s Your Choice

Step 7 of the Major Good Mojo System is “Let Go of Old, Negative Stuff – Beliefs, Habits, and Patterns.” As soon as someone steps onto their new path toward their new life, what they typically run into are all their old beliefs and habits that have been holding them back. It is vital to understand this and be able to address it. If you are not able to see, work with, release and transform old beliefs and habits that hold you in place, you will very quickly return to your old life and be even more resigned. You may say to yourself that you “tried” and it just didn’t work out. You will resist your blooming.

I have dealt with this a lot in my own life and, frankly, I still do. Often I would go to an amazing and inspiring seminar or workshop, come out ready to take on the world, only to find my old habits and ways of being creeping back in over the next few weeks. A month or more out from the workshop it was as if my brain was asking, “what workshop?”

Getting insights and inspiration is important, but is only the beginning. One of the down-side problems relating to weekend workshops and seminars is the lack of long-term support. There is often no process in place to work out the old ways of being that participants took with them into that workshop. There’s typically not even an acknowledgement that these things even exist!  I’m sure you’ve experienced this in your own life and know it to be true. Lots of people are offering fascinating and inspiring programs, but what is missing is the follow up. Old beliefs and habits have far more momentum and are far more ingrained than any new idea or inspiration. Without the follow up, most of the new ideas will die on the vine.

Learning how to let go of old negative beliefs, habits, and patterns is THE difference between success and failure. In my opinion this is why people became frustrated with the movie “The Secret.” They went out and asked for and believed they could have something. But what they were not told is that there is a huge part of them that does not believe they can have it, or should have it, or deserve it, or that it’s even possible. That’s what a friend of mine has called “The Dirty Little Secret.” The dirty little secret is that when you truly desire something and commit to having it, what comes up for you are all the beliefs or constructs that kept you from having it in the first place.  These must be released for true fulfillment to take place.

I know how hard it is to let go of negative beliefs and habits. That is why I created an audio program called “Shift It.” This is an easy and powerful tool specifically designed to address negative beliefs and blocks. Check it out here.

I have experienced and worked with MANY different tools and processes for releasing and transforming beliefs and habits we no longer prefer to uphold. The tools and processes that really work have these three things in common:

1) They make you stop and notice what is happening; you become a conscious witness to the FACTS about the situation(s),

 2) They invite you to embrace all aspects of your experience of the situation: physical, mental, emotional. You must embrace and allow the truth of your experience – the only way out is through. 

3) Once you’ve gone into the uncomfortable aspects and felt and allowed them, you then open up to new insights and possibilities for your life.

You can think of this generalized process as a bridge between two lands: your current, limited reality/experience, and your desired, expanded reality/experience. The bridge between these two lands is courageously built by embracing and allowing your truth and the full-body experience of the issue, situation, or challenge. Basically, you are consciously embracing all your “fears of what might happen.” Once you’ve done this, it is like magic! New insights and possibilities automatically begin arising.

When you engage the Major Good Mojo System I will walk you through several very powerful processes to open new doors in your life and embrace your blooming. And, even better, I will teach you these processes so you can do it for yourself for the rest of your life. To experience the power this can provide in your life, I invite you to engage the The Major Good Mojo System.

Your Major Good Mojo Assignment:

Where are you “tightly closing your eyes” and afraid of seeing the rising sun? Where are you resisting your blooming?  

Think of an uncomfortable or frustrating situation in your life right now. Write down one or two sentences that simply describe the facts of that situation. Then, write down how you feel about it; what are all the thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations you experience when you think about this situation? Do you feel angry, mad, tired, resigned, or perhaps sad? Where in your body do you feel these feelings? Point to and describe the physical feelings you are having. It might be tension or tightness, a “sick to the stomach” feeling, a numbness, or perhaps heat or hotness.

Allow yourself to notice and experience these feelings. Fully go into them with an open curiosity, with an attitude of “Wow, look how irritated I am” or “Wow, look how much tension I have around this situation.” Just notice and allow whatever is there for you as you think about the situation. This should only take two or three minutes, but take as much time as you need.

Then, once you have embraced and allowed your experience, begin opening up to new insights, ideas, or thoughts that may be arising. Just turn your attention toward “new ways of holding or moving through the situation.” You can even ask, “In what new ways might I hold this situation.” Then listen quietly for your intuition and insights to arise. In the beginning, a process like this is best engaged with a skilled facilitator. However, with some courage, compassion, and gentleness, you can certainly make some headway on your own.

Congratulations – you are choosing to bloom and are building bridges to new lands of Major Good Mojo!

The 7 Principles of Life Purpose: What You Must Know To Find Your Path in Life

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| Leave a comment

Last summer I visited Armstrong Redwoods Natural Preserve in Northern California, near the Russian River.  I took this picture while walking on one of the nature trails. On their website it states, “The ancient coast redwood is the tallest living thing on our planet! These remarkable trees live to be 500-1,000 years old, grow to a diameter of 12-16 feet, and stand from 200-250 feet tall. Some trees survive to over 2,000 years and tower above 350 feet.” Being in the midst of these mighty trees is a powerful and awe-inspiring, yet very peaceful, experience. I highly recommend a visit.

I included this picture of the Great Redwoods with this particular ezine for a reason. Every one of these huge and awesome trees started out as a small seed, as something you could literally hold in your hand. Yet in that small seed was the entire blueprint for the manifestation and full-self-expression of these amazing living organisms. Just like these trees, you have your unique blueprint inside you too!

In this blog I will share with you seven principles of life purpose I have discovered through research, working with others, and through my own life experience. These principles are part of Step 5 of the Major Good Mojo System which is “Find Your Passions.” These principles will help you find and follow your passions, your own unique blueprint.

Read on and enjoy!

The 7 Principles of Life Purpose

Principle #1 : You have a purpose. Each and every one of us does. We are born with it. Others may have a similar purpose, but your methods of manifesting it and bringing it into the world for others are unique to you and you only.

Principle #2: It’s your job to find it. No one else can do this for you no matter how much you may wish that someone else will “pull out your gifts” or “discover you.” These are victim-based ways of being that avoid YOUR responsibility for YOUR life. Thank God that you, and only you, are in control of your life. That is a gift; it is divine design. So while at first this may seem like a burden, once you engage in discovering your purpose, you’ll be very glad it’s all up to you.

Principle #3: 90% + of the people out there don’t care or don’t want what you have to offer. BUT (and this is a HUGE but), about 10% do! This is a major hurdle for most people stepping out on their true life purpose – they share who they are with those closest to them (because who else would they share it with, right?) and those people are in the 90% who don’t need or want THAT particular gift being offered. They just don’t recognize the value.  The person sharing his vision begins to believe that since those folks close to him didn’t want it, no one else probably does, either. WRONG!

Here’s an example – a Gold Record sells 1 million copies. If we look just at the United States where approximately 300 million people live, that means that 299 million people DID NOT buy the record! Yet this is an amazingly successful album for a musician who is now well-known and quite well off. If they made the same assumption that most of us make: “Since the first few people I shared with did not like my stuff, then everyone is not going to like my stuff,” they would never have gotten off the ground. This is simply a matter of marketing and reaching YOUR people and has nothing to do with the quality or value of your offering. Unless you’ve talked with 100 people, I don’t want to hear how “nobody likes or needs my stuff.”

Principle #4: Your “customers” will not show up until you do. The 10% of people who want and need your stuff will not show up till YOU DO. You must show up first. You must stand up and say “This is who I am, this is what I have to offer, and if you want some, let’s talk.” Think about it, do you ever buy anything from someone, or from a company, without them first coming to you? Rarely, if ever does this happen. Usually, we see an advertisement, or someone makes a referral, or we find it on the internet. The point is, these people and products are already OUT THERE either finding you, or available for you to find. They have “shown up” and said “this is what I am, this is what I have to offer.” To employ Principle #4 that’s what you must do as well.

Principle #5: You will be happy, successful and satisfied with your life to the extent you embrace your authentic purpose and inner blueprint – AND – you will be unhappy, unfulfilled, dissatisfied and frustrated to the extent you do not. In fact, I would go so far as to say that we must create and manifest our life purpose or we will die. Ultimately we do die, and lives best lived have exhausted their life purpose and are ready for transition. However, those people resisting their life purpose will end up making themselves sick; they are literally “killing themselves” because they are not on purpose expressing and channeling Life Force in the way they themselves have already chosen.

As harsh as this may sound, it’s actually preferable to be dead, than alive and resisting your purpose. For if you are not here doing what you’ve come here to do, why hang around? To the extent you’ve buried and resisted your purpose, it does appear at some point to be easier to exit the game and start over. However, the fact you are reading this passage means you now know whatever you are experiencing IS PART OF YOUR LIFE PATH AND PURPOSE, and it’s your job to see just exactly how this all fits together and makes sense for you, in your life.

Principle #6: It’s not your job to question your purpose; it’s your job to engage and live it. Given the reality in which you find yourself when you discover your authentic purpose, it may seem ridiculous, unimportant, impossible, or perhaps “not for you.” But this is a destiny pre-chosen for you, most likely even by you, for your life, and it cannot be changed. And resistance, as we’ve seen with Principle #5, is futile. This would be like the Great Redwood saying “No, no, no, I want to be a tomato!” Ridiculous! The sooner you get on board and embrace your purpose, the happier you’ll be. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

Principle #7: You must nurture your purpose. Your purpose will ebb and flow throughout the course of your life. At times it will be strong, at others weak, and even at times impossible to distinguish. But through it all is YOU, and your job is to continually nurture your purpose. Keep fanning the flames and know that it is your job to build the bridge from the unmanifest (metaphysical) to the manifest (physical), to make your vision a reality in the here and now. That is the game.

Finding Your Passions and aligning your life with your personal well-spring of life force energy is a major objective and benefit of the Major Good Mojo System. To experience the power this can provide in your life, I invite you to engage the The Major Good Mojo Coaching Program.

Your Major Good Mojo Assignment:

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and ask yourself, your deepest, truest self “Am I living my authentic life purpose?” And listen to what comes up. Even write down what comes up. Most of us know if we are or are not truly living our life’s purpose. If you are, right on! Celebrate that you are. If you are not, spend a few moments exploring what your life purpose is – and if you say “I don’t know” you can say to yourself “Well, if I DID know, what would I say it is?” The truth is, we ALL know what we are here to do – the blueprint is inside – the challenge is having the COURAGE to ADMIT it and EMBRACE it!

It might help you to know it’s not a black and white thing- not an all-or-nothing proposition. Just start right where you are. I recommend to my clients they embrace their life purpose one step at a time, and just do the next, perhaps very small thing, that will begin moving their life in that direction. Ultimately, it’s the series of these steps taken in that authentic direction that adds up to the manifestation and realization of your own unique internal blueprint.

Find and follow your passions! It’s a major key to your Major Good Mojo!

Finding Divine Gifts – Coming Fully Into the Present Moment

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| Leave a comment

On my recent trip to the Maya Tulum resort in Mexico, I shot a photo of this labyrinth on the beach. It is beautifully laid out and made of all natural materials from the surrounding area. For me, a labyrinth represents an opportunity for reflection, an opportunity to be mindful, and to stop the “busyness” of everyday life, clear some space and open up to divine presence and gifts.

This time of year – the winter solstice and holiday season – can also be that for you if you want it to be. In all the hustle and bustle, just stop and take a few deep breaths. The divine is always with us and always waiting for US to recognize and welcome its presence. That is its gift to us.

In addition, the end of the year is a great time to complete the past, prepare for the future, and thereby come fully into the present. However you do this I invite you to celebrate and release all that 2011 has been for you, and make way for a fabulous 2012.

In this blog we’ll explore an important aspect for “coming fully into the present moment” – completing incompletions. Learning the importance of this and actually achieving it in your life, is the third step of my Major Good Mojo System.

Read on and enjoy!

Finding Divine Gifts – Coming Fully Into the Present Moment

The third step of my Major Good Mojo System is “Complete Incompletions.” An incompletion is simply that – something that is not complete. It could be anything: unpaid bills; anger or resentment toward someone or thing; projects around the house; something you said you would do but then never did, etc.

Something in our lives that is not complete holds a portion of our energy until it is complete. At some level we are thinking about it, worrying about it, trying to figure out what to do about it. Even if you think you’ve forgotten about it and let it go, you haven’t. This is the body’s natural tendency toward integrity, toward being complete and free.

To the extent we have incompletions in our life we are being robbed of vital life force energy, energy we could be using to create an extremely fulfilling life. Incompletions also block us from receiving clear guidance from our higher selves. We’ve got part of ourselves holding the energy of these incompletions and therefore we cannot pay full attention to the divine messages trying to get through. Actually, the message that is trying to get through is “complete your incompletions.” That’s why we keep thinking and worrying about them.

When it comes to completing incompletions in relationships (whether with a mother, father, sibling, spouse, friend, or co-worker) a big part is forgiveness – forgiveness both for ourselves and others. Interestingly, forgiveness means to “give as before,” no longer withholding or holding back. (Side note: we all think forgiveness is a great thing, and I agree, however, have you ever noticed that forgiveness has judgment built into it? If you feel you must forgive someone, you have passed judgment on them that what they have done is bad, wrong, and should not have happened. Now who’s the bad guy? Interesting, yes?)

There are a couple of good metaphors that can help us better understand the importance of truly letting go of the supposed “wrongs” we believe another person has done to us. Being angry with, spiteful toward, or withholding from another person is like holding a hot coal in your own hand with the idea that you are going to throw it at them…but you never do. It just burns and burns YOU. Or, said another way, it’s like drinking poison expecting the other person to die. In these examples you can see it makes no sense. All you have to do is drop the hot coal and don’t take the poison.

Incompletions in relationships are some of the most detrimental and life-sucking ones we can experience. However, all the incompletions in our life, from the $10 you may still owe someone, to the book you borrowed and have yet to return, to the projects around the house you keep putting off. They all drain you each and every moment. For truly free and energized living you must complete these incompletions.

Identifying and completing your incompletions is a key piece of the Major Good Mojo System. To experience the freedom accomplishing this can provide in your life, I invite you to engage the The Major Good Mojo Coaching Program.

Your Major Good Mojo Assignment:

Look into all the areas of your life. What is obviously incomplete? Make a list of those things. Just making the list and getting these things out of your head and onto paper will restore some energy for you. Then look at the list and select one or two things to complete. Start with a couple of easy ones so you can build momentum, and then work up to the more challenging incompletions. As you complete things, one by one, cross them off the list with a big smile on your face, then take on the next one that feels right…until you’ve crossed them all off the list.

Notice the amazing energy restored at each step along the way, and the exponentially rising access to Major Good Mojo!

How to Move Mountains

Posted on October 17, 2011 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| Leave a comment

I love warm weather and the dry, beautiful nature of Northern California. In the picture I am enjoying some of the last days of summer weather on a hike with a friend near my home in San Ramon. Hiking to the top of this ridge we could see a spectacular 360 degree view of the entire San Francisco Bay Area. The mountain in the distance is Mt. Diablo, the highest peak in the East Bay. As you can see, we had great visibility that day.

This picture relates to today’s topic for Major Good Mojo. In this blog we’ll explore how to “move mountains” and “move the Universe.” The answer, simple, elegant, and powerful, is one of the three Power Principles in my Major Good Mojo System, and one of the very first things my clients engage when embarking on their journey.

Read on and enjoy!

How to Move Mountains: Commit to Yourself and Your Life

Most of you are probably familiar with the following famous passage attributed to German writer J.W. von Goethe. (Note: research has indicated that Scottish mountaineer W.H. Murray actually penned most of this quote, however in any case, it’s very powerful).

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. 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. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. 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 dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”

Why does this passage hit home? Because each of us has experienced this amazing power of commitment. We know that when we authentically and fully commit ourselves to something, providence does move and miracles do happen. It’s a wondrous thing.

Some evidence for this power of commitment and its ability to move the Universe is found in the work of Cleve Backster, an interrogation specialist with the CIA and polygraph (lie detector) expert. In the 1960s he performed and published a series of experiments on the effect of human intention on plants and found that plants responded (via polygraph instrumentation) to human intention to do them harm. He called this phenomenon “primary perception.” While that is quite remarkable in and of itself, even more remarkable is that the plants DID NOT respond to “pretend” intentions to do them harm. Only when the person was REALLY going to them harm did they respond. The Universe knows the difference between real commitment and intention, and pretend or “half hearted” commitment. We know the difference too. 

Because of its incredible power, commitment is one of the first requirements for engaging my proprietary Major Good Mojo System. It’s the first of three Major Good Mojo Power Principles. For the duration of the Major Good Mojo System, my clients agree to follow, live by, and live into these important Power Principles. These are principles of living discovered through years of trial and error that I have found are essential to creating a life of Major Good Mojo.

So, the first Power Principle is: commit to yourself and your life. Going back to Goethe “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.” In today’s world there are so many competing priorities it’s easy to get distracted and off track. To live a truly fulfilling life, you must make your personal growth and development a top priority. The activities you engage for your personal growth and development must become as important and habitual as brushing your teeth, taking a shower, and eating – because they actually are that important.

In addition to working one-on-one with individuals supporting their realization of full potential, I also work with organizations in the same way. Organizations are realizing the pace of change in the world today requires they develop the skill of continuous learning and growth and are now making employee growth and development a top priority. In the past, developing employees was “nice” to do (often given lip service), but was not a necessity. However, today, it’s imperative. As one mentor of mine said: “You are either growing or you’re dying.” Which do you choose?

Committing to yourself and your life is partly about becoming comfortable on the learning curve. Decide to develop the skill to always learn and develop yourself, and commit to that, surrender to it, and let go of the fantasy that you will “arrive” someday. Let go of the fantasy that you will no longer have to be learning, growing, and evolving. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll start enjoying some Major Good Mojo.

So here’s the thing: the world is evolving at a faster and faster pace and this requires we develop the skill of continuous learning, growth and development. It requires that we both surrender to this fact, AND commit to this aspect for powerful living. If you want providence to move, if you want to move mountains, then YOU must move, you must fully commit. Fully commit to yourself and your life, and you’ll move mountains too.

Getting committed in life is a key piece of the Major Good Mojo System. If you want to learn to move mountains I invite you to engage the The Major Good Mojo Coaching Program.

Your Major Good Mojo Assignment:

Commitment occurs at many levels in our lives. From something simple like our commitment to wake up at a certain time, to something more involved and longer term like our commitment to a relationship or a role in life. Look into the various areas of your life and assess your level of commitment in each: where are you fully committed and where are you not so committed? Where are you whole-heartedly engaged and where are you half-heartedly engaged? Do you notice a difference in the results you are getting from those areas where you are fully and whole-heartedly committed? In what areas of your life could you benefit from a higher level of commitment and more providence and magic? Choose now to increase your level of commitment in these areas and watch the magic unfold!

Top 10 Reasons to Get Divinely Connected

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Roger Kenneth Marsh| 2 Comments

Some of you may recognize the two men in the picture above. One of them is me! The other is Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God book series.  These books were life changing for me when I read them more than 15 years ago.

While there are many thought provoking ideas and concepts in those books, what impacted me most was the concept that I could actually HAVE a conversation with God. In most traditional models this is considered blasphemy. You see, not that long ago (relatively speaking) “God” was taken out of the world and put up on throne in the sky – separate from us and separate from this world – with some very specific (and controlled) means for accessing “him.” Like everything (thank God!) things evolve and new models and approaches have emerged that bring God/Universal Intelligence/Great Spirit much closer to home!  

In this blog we’ll explore the Top 10 Reasons for Getting Divinely Connected. We’ll take a closer look at the benefits, explore why it’s important, and why someone would even want to do it! Getting Divinely Connected is something that can be learned, practiced, and developed. In fact, it is a key piece of the Major Good Mojo System. Since the Divine literally IS the source of your life, quite frankly, I can’t think of anything more important and powerful than getting Divinely Connected.

The Top 10 Reasons to Get Divinely Connected

When you think of “The Divine” or “God” or “Great Spirit” or ”Infinite Intelligence,” what do you think of? Do you think of love, compassion, wisdom, inspiration, and miracles? In my experience, these are all characteristics of The Divine. The more I get connected to The Divine, the more these characteristics become a part of me, and the more I experience them in my life. One could say that getting Divinely Connected is about becoming “more like God” in your life. Pretty cool, yes?

Here are the Top 10 Reasons to Get Divinely Connected. These are not in any priority or order – they are ALL incredibly valuable and important. I’ve found that their relative importance tends to depend on the particular life experience and situations one is in.

1) Peace. No matter what.  When Divinely Connected you KNOW everything is always OK, no matter what, and no matter how it may look.

2) Wise guidance for life choices. When Divinely Connected you have access to the most wise and informed friend, which is hugely beneficial and an amazing stress and time saver! Also, invaluable for those “tough times” in life.

3) Unconditional love.  Some people say that “getting the love you want” is what life is all about (at least that’s what everyone is subconsciously trying to get) – “All I want is to be loved!” When Divinely Connected, you already got all the love you want – unwavering, always there, and supremely satisfying. There is no substitute.

4) Synchronicities, miracles, and magic. This is one of my favorites. When Divinely Connected the Universe is always “winking at you.” Things happen (far beyond coincidence) that you could never have orchestrated on your own.

5) Power. This is somewhat related to number 4, but different. When Divinely Connected you can trust in a “power greater than yourself.” This means you KNOW you don’t have to do it all (and you can’t anyhow!). You can “share the burden” and have everything turn out.  This GREATLY reduces stress.

6) You’re never alone. When Divinely Connected you’re always with the most loyal, loving, supportive, inspiring, compassionate presence. The ideal friend/spouse/companion!

7) Wonder and awe. When Divinely Connected you can see beyond the flat material world into the animating energy of it all. This is related to the Einstein quote “Either everything is a miracle, or nothing is.”

8) Compassion for others. When Divinely Connected you see the bigger picture and know that everyone is doing the best they can, with the consciousness they have, inside the circumstances of their life. Instead of anger, your heart goes out to people since you know that if they were Divinely Connected they wouldn’t be doing some of the things they do. (One definition of “evil” is simply “absence of the Divine”).

9) Gratitude and humility. When Divinely Connected every moment is a gift. You’re present to the undeniable beauty of the world and amazed and humbled by it all.

And last but not least:

10) No fear of death. When Divinely Connected you see, experience, and KNOW the infinite, eternal nature and reality of life. You know there is no death – only transformation and transitions. This provides a huge degree of freedom to simply live!

All of this can be had with practice. Without a practice, without intentionally and consciously looking for the Divine, without actively creating your Connection, it will remain a mysterious fantasy, a non-reality, perhaps even as a “crutch for those that can’t handle the real world.”

However, the more you look and have faith, the more you see. The more you see, the more you believe. The more you believe, the more you experience. And the more you experience, the more you KNOW. You don’t “think” and “believe” in God, you KNOW God. You are Divinely Connected!

Getting Divinely Connected is something that can be learned, practiced, and developed. In fact, it is a key piece of the Major Good Mojo System. If you want to get Divinely Connected, I invite you to engage the The Major Good Mojo Coaching Program.

Your Major Good Mojo Assignment:

Explore your current connection and relationship with God/Universal Intelligence/Great Spirit/Source. How strong is this connection? How clear? How free and empowered are you in that relationship? Is there an opportunity for you to strengthen this relationship?  Then make yourself comfortable, take a few deep breaths, close your eyes, and ask yourself “How might I increase my connection with the Divine?”  Then listen to what comes forth.  Perhaps you’ll start a meditation practice, or journal, or sit quietly in your garden in the morning, or maybe even engage The Major Good Mojo Program!
