Cycle of Evolution
Published November 23rd, 2011 | 
The only constant is change. The universe is always in motion and always growing, ever since the big bang the only constant is change.
In nature, business, life and almost everywhere change happens in distinct and predictable cycles, yet when it comes to our own personal development people seem to strive for a status quo, a “balance” and it’s this desire for balance that actually unbalances us.
Throughout our lives we constantly change and transform. You are not the same person you were when you were a baby or a child or a teenager or a few years ago, or even last week.
Every experience you have leaves its mark on your mind and neurology. So the question isn’t “can we change?” the question then becomes “How do we change into who we want to become, rather than randomly stumbling from one state to the next?”
Transformation is easy when you know how it happens. It is a cycle with distinct stages.
Each stage has its own challenges and telltale signs. When you know where you are in the cycle and what’s coming next transformation becomes easy, predictable and even fun.
1. Status Quo
There are times in your life when everything seems to be going smoothly. At this stage things will likely feel stable. You have a definite model of how you think the world should be and when things don’t fit your model or beliefs, you simply reject them. Or maybe things are running so smoothly that life’s just a a bit, well, boring! You are triggered to begin an awakening.
2. Awakening
You start to notice small signs, subtle and not so subtle signals, that things just don’t seem to fit in the boxes anymore. What you were previously happy with, no longer satisfies you. You may have vivid dreams, notice unusual patterns or strange coincidences. And you begin to ask questions, which moves you to become a seeker.
3. Seeker
As a seeker you have questions and you want answers. You actively start to seek out the answers. You might be drawn to go on courses, read books or even get coaching. You desire to move, but don’t yet know where. At some point all this seeking leads to the knowledge of exactly what you need or want to do. All you need to do is to do it. Sadly due to fear of change many people resist this and try to go back, which triggers chaos.
4. Chaos
This stage can be highly emotional, challenging and confusing. You just don’t know what to do. You may seem to have one foot in the past and one in the future. It can feel very uncomfortable and you may even have problems in areas such as relationships, finances, work and family. At some point you make a firm decision to take action, or get the help you need. When this happens things start to clear up for you and you get a vision of how you want your life to be.
5. Visionary
Once you have made a decision to move forward all the pieces start to come together. Finally with a clear vision of where you’re going all the steps become easy, the pieces start to fall into place and the way seems to become clear. Now you know where you’re going and what you want to do. As soon as you start to take action you become a pioneer.
6. Pioneer
A pioneer is anyone who is breaking new ground, even if it’s you breaking new ground in your own life. In this stage others around you might wonder what’s going on. They may try to encourage you to go back, so you need determination (or you’ll end right back in chaos again). Like all pioneers it can take a bit of courage and inner resolve. With inner faith that you are on the right path you can follow your vision through to completion.
7. Completion
This is the end of this cycle. You’ve done it. You’ve made it. Things are working. You succeeded. You’re happy with your life. Having made the change and evolved you become an inspiration to others.
But remember, completion is the same as stage 1 Status Quo, but at a higher level, so you’ll only be here until you’re ready to evolve again. Our whole lives are spent going round and round this cycle, becoming more and more evolved each time.
How to manage each stage?
1. Status Quo (and Completion)
Enjoy where you are, but don’t delude yourself that you’re “done”. When you least expect it you can be triggered into your next cycle of transformation. Many people seek balance, harmony and to strive to maintain the status quo, but this is a mistake.
2. Awakening
Pay attention to the signs that you’re ready for the next journey round the cycle. Each cycle might be in a different area of your life so if you have recently experienced a massive transformation in your relationship, perhaps it will be career next.
3. Seeker
Be open minded but not too gullible. Ask questions and use discernment with the answers. Be willing to change. Many people get tipped into chaos because they know what to do but fail to act on that knowing. Don’t become a workshop junkie looking for the next thing that will make everything perfect whilst failing to act and make changes.
4. Chaos
This can be the most challenging for people. The important thing here is to be willing to get help and support if you need it. There’s no shame in seeking out a coach or therapist to support you through this stage of the cycle.
5. Visionary
Once you get the vision, don’t be afraid to put it into action. Dream the dream then take action to make it a reality. You can’t meditate or affirm a building into existence, at some point someone has to move some bricks.
6. Pioneer
Now you’re going for it and taking action, don’t let the Nay-Sayers put you off or cause you to shrink back. As a pioneer you’re breaking new ground so people will raise their eyebrows and look surprised. That’s your cue to smile, knowing that you’re the one with the courage to break new ground, even if it’s only in your own life.
Knowing which stage you’re at in the cycle means you can handle it and you know what’s coming up next. For a free 3 minute test to discover where you are in your current cycle of evolution go to www.ceotester.com
EGO: Emotions Edge God Out
Published November 22nd, 2009 | Ego is a frequently used word in spiritual teaching. But what does it actually mean?
It usually has some kind of negative connotations, and many people think of it as linked to arrogance.
But this is only part of the story. In fact – if you think ego, or working from ego is negative – then you have ego! If you think EGO is negative then that is your ego talking.
Ego is that “stuff” or those feelings that get between you and your connection to the source
It is what gets between you and other people.
If you have any judgment about another’s behavior – that is your own ego. If you think someone is behaving badly you are making a judgment and that is ego.
Even if you are judging something as GOOD that is ego.
Ego is separation, and the ego wants you to remain separate from others and the source. If there is no separation and you become one with the universe the ego disappears. The ego is fighting for its survival and does so through emotions.
EGO is the part of you that is NOT God. Your emotions Edge God Out (EGO).
Sometimes these emotions might seem nice. You might look at another person and think “I am good. They are bad”. This sort of ego-driven comparison might cause you to feel good or superior to others. This might seem to feel good in the short term, but is ultimately unsatisfying and halts your evolution.
The goal of your spiritual evolution is to bring your Higher Self down and merge it with your conscious and unconscious minds. When the unconscious mind is full of blocks, limitations, limiting beliefs and all the other aspects of the ego the Higher Self cannot exist here.
Those blocks, limitations, limiting beliefs are simply ego.
Emotions only Ever Lie
Release your emotions – Free yourself from EGO
When you release your negative emotions, and other blocks, you create “space” for your Higher Self to merge with the rest of your mind.
Sometimes we think the releasing of these blocks will be painful and difficult. But actually the opposite is true. Holding on to our pain and blocks simply causes us more pain.
It’s not about facing our demons – it’s about releasing them. Set them free. Once they are released they will simply evaporate and vanish. When we release them, let them go – our own Higher Self can destroy the pain.
In order to release a negative emotion or block, fist notice it. When this happens it can feel like a problem. It’s only a problem when you think of it like that. In fact, it’s a perfect opportunity to release another part of your ego, to accelerate your evolution and to bring down your Higher Self.
The goal of spiritual evolution is to constantly be self aware and own everything. Not only the parts of ourselves we don’t like, we have become very good at this. But also to own and let go of those emotions we label positive.
Positive emotions are just as seductive, but when we have them and feel them – they are not US. They are something separate to us. When you let go of having or feeling joy, peace, bliss, then you BECOME joy, peace bliss.
Would you rather FEEL joy – or BE joy?
Would you rather FEEL peace – or BE peace?
Would you rather FEEL bliss – or BE bliss?
Free yourself. Free your mind

Art and Science of Prayer
Published February 22nd, 2009 | The art and Science of Prayer – As printed in Kindred Spirit 2008
Oh please God…
Have you ever prayed? I mean really prayed? Perhaps in times of desperation you have begged for help from a higher being. Maybe you offered something in exchange for solving a problem or made a promise to do or give something later. But what happens when they don’t get answered? In your hour of need how would it be if you knew that you prayers would be answered?
There has been a lot of publicity about manifesting, the law of attraction and cosmic ordering recently. If you have tried this and found that your order did not get delivered you might have wondered why. Is it possible to order or pray for and receive anything you wanted?
Prayer is a process and when you know the system you can make it work for you. There is both and art and a science to prayer when used can, quite literally, manifest your desires.
The art and science of prayer?
Prayers are answered according to this equation.
Desired Outcome = Function of (Clarity, Energy, Time)
What this says is that to get what you want you need three things: Clarity, Energy and Time.
Time is the time it takes for your desire to manifest, between you praying for what you want and it showing up in your life.
Clarity is how clear you are about what you want. This is covered in coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and in many books on manifesting, law of attraction, and cosmic ordering. But if you have ever tried to manifest by simply thinking about and focussing on what you want and wondered why it doesn’t show up, or why it takes a long time, the reason is that it misses “Energy” out of the equation.
Energy refers to your personal life force energy. Sometimes referred to as Chi, Ki, Prana or Electromagnetic fluid.
If you have high energy, and high clarity, your desire will manifest very quickly.
If you have high energy but LOW clarity, you will manifest things very quickly, but they will be whatever you happened to be thinking about at the time. When this happens it can feel like your life is completely out of control.
If you have high clarity but LOW energy, you will manifest exactly what you want, but it will take a long time to do so.
Energy and Matter
Money is not real. It is an agreement based on energy.
We use money, or cash as a symbol of an energy exchange. Simply because it is easier to fold than chickens.
You need energy to manifests things. Physical things exist in the physical world, but at a quantum level they are only energy temporarily suspended in a physical form. To bring them into this physical form requires energy.
Einstein developed a mathematical relationship between matter and energy. Although this is usually used in nuclear physics it can have a metaphysical and metaphorical meaning for manifestation.
E = mc²
Energy = Mass x the speed of light squared.
This formula tells us that energy and matter are interchangeable. Everything that exists in the material world has a direct correlation to the energy required to create AND sustain it.
It takes energy to create or change something. That energy is YOUR internal life-force energy. You have as much material success as you can energetically sustain. If you increase your wealth but do nothing to increase your ability to sustain it you will lose it. This is why lottery winners lose or squander their winnings quickly. If they had the energy to sustain that wealth they would already HAVE that wealth.
Likewise those who have high energy and wealth recover quickly from any losses.
Those people who have a lot of money do so because they have a lot of energy. If you want to increase your wealth – increase your energy.
Money is only energy. You have as much money as you have energy. ncrease your energy and money will follow. Increase your money without increasing your energy, and the money will leave.
So what is this energy, how can you increase it and use it for manifesting?
Path of manifestation – through the four bodies.
Your being consists of four aspects or four “bodies”
The path of manifestation begins in the spiritual body and travels down through all the bodies until finally it manifests in the physical reality.
All manifestation happens in 4 stages, these correspond to the four bodies. Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical. Anything you want to manifest has to pass through each of these four bodies, in four steps. If you are not manifesting what you want, that’s because it got stuck in one of these four bodies.
For example, take the manifestation of a new career; it passes through the four bodies like this…
Spiritual.
You first become aware of an inspiration or the idea that you would like a career change. You might try to ignore it for a while but eventually the call becomes too loud and you pay attention.
Mental.
Having had the idea you start to think through your options and choices. You might do research into different careers and ask questions. This is an intellectual process where you make the decision about which career to move to.
Emotional.
Once you have made a choice about your career you begin to get excited, and passionate. You really burn with the desire to achieve your outcome.
Physical. Taking action is a physical act, something you DO that moves you into your new career. You enrol on the training, you apply for the job, and you send out the application forms, you call people up, you go for interviews. There may be a number of actions that need to be taken until you have your new career and you do will get no results.
Energy in the four bodies.
The stronger the energy in each of your four bodies the quicker and more reliably you will manifest your chosen outcomes. Here are some ways you can increase the energy in each body and the bonus is increasing the energy in any one body will have a positive effect on all the others.
Physical Body
The physical body comprises the energy particles which have formed into subatomic particles, which form the atoms, molecules, cells and bodily structures that make up YOU. Energy in the physical body is the easiest to understand, clear and raise. The main elements are food, exercise and environment.
Eat good food. Make sure it is food that is right for you, rather than the latest fashion diet programme. To find out if any particular food is good for you pay attention to your energy levels 60 – 90 minutes after you have eaten it. If it increases your energy levels, it is good for you. If it decreases your energy levels don’t eat it again.
Be wary of food that causes you to go into “energy overdraft”. Sugar, caffeine etc will increase your energy immediately after eating or drinking them, but later will cause your energy levels to plummet.
Exercise is essential for physical energy levels and strength. Take part in any exercise that you enjoy and that you feel benefits your body. You may like to try different types of exercise before you find the right one for you, and you may have several that you take part in at different times for different reasons. The general and golden rule is if it feels good, do it more.
Taking care of your physical body in the way that is best for you will increase the physical energy.
Take Action
Taking action is where you can increase your success at manifesting, by ensuring your actions are directed towards achieving what you want. If you want to get fit or lose weight, eating cake and sitting on the sofa will not move you towards this outcome, whereas exercising and eating less will. If your actions are out of alignment with what you want to achieve you will be unsuccessful. If your actions are in alignment with what you want to achieve, it doesn’t guarantee the outcome, but it does significantly increase the chances.
Emotional Body
Your emotional body contains all your memories and emotional pattering, both negative and positive.
Emotions have a purpose and that purpose is to tell you that something is not right. However when we hold on to negative emotions from the past they are not helpful and actually damage the body. We call this “unresolved negative emotions”. Most people have unresolved negative emotions to some degree. If, when, you recall a memory of the past you feel a negative emotion then you have unresolved negative emotions. This is un released emotion from the past affecting the present.
Fear of failure or anger or resentment of successful people is a common block to manifestation.
For many people the idea that it is possible to be free of painful emotions from the past seems impossible. In fact not only is it possible but also easy using the latest emotional releasing therapies. Time Line Therapy TM and Higher Self Therapy are highly effective at releasing ALL negative emotions.
Limiting Beliefs
A belief is anything we hold to be true, or think of as being true. A belief is limiting if it stops us being, doing or having what we want to be, do or have.
Our beliefs are often deeply unconscious, but will guide, influence and affect every aspect of our life. If you believe “you have to work hard for money” or something similar, you will experience just that. The unconscious mind controls and filters your perceptions, so if you came upon an opportunity to make money in a way that was easy, your unconscious mind would simply delete that information so you could not act on it. You would simply miss opportunities and continue to work hard for your money. Because beliefs are unconscious, the only way to know what beliefs you are running is to take a look at what your life is like. If you manifest success easily then you likely have healthy beliefs that support this, if your life is more difficult or challenging than you would like then you might want to look at what you believe.
Negative emotions like anger, sadness, fear, hurt and guilt and all limiting beliefs act as huge emotional blocks that simply stop the manifestation process in its tracks.
The unconscious mind understands emotions, but not logic. Emotions do not make sense, and they are not meant to. You cannot “think” or “rationalise” emotions away. Emotional problems require emotional therapies.
It is easy to increase the energy in your emotional body by releasing negative emotions and limiting beliefs. There are many effective techniques such as Time Line TherapyTM or Higher Self Therapy.
When considering any technique it’s essential that they actually RELEASE the negative emotions. Releasing doesn’t mean you simply “feel better” not that you have “worked through them” or now “understand them”. Releasing means they have gone, you no longer feel them; they are released, deleted, absent, no more. You will still have the memory of all past events but you can remember them without the painful emotions. This clears the path of manifesting through the emotional body.
Mental Body
The Mental body is where your logical rational thoughts happen. You use this to make good decisions, manage complex tasks and focus your attention. Your mental body acts like a focussing lens to direct your energy towards what you want.
Perhaps you have noticed that wealthy people, self made millionaires demonstrate an ability to juggle many tasks, reduce complex situations to simple ones and are extremely mentally dextrous. They are masters at planning. It is this faculty that enables them to get and stay wealthy. They can weigh up risks and don’t take stupid ones. They can filter out unnecessary or distracting information with a mental clarity that can literally cut through the nonsense like a knife.
Increasing the energy in your mental body will increase your ability to reason and use logic. Your mental body is in charge of your thoughts and thinking.
You can increase the energy in your mental body by exercising it, in the same way as you would exercise your physical body, by using it, stretching it and challenging it.
Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor people are smaller than their problem.
Increase the energy in your Mental Body
Self Mastery
Master yourself and be true to your word. Make decisions and stick to them. Make commitments and promises and stick to them. Use your willpower. When you make a decision to do something, regardless of how hard it gets, keep going. Most people fail or are unsuccessful simply because they do not have the self discipline to stick at something. They simply give up.
Challenge yourself
Other ways to increase the energy in your mental body is to increase your mental and intellectual abilities, by challenging and exercising your mind. Learn new things, read more, and different types of books, take courses, explore topics and areas that are new to you and cause you to think in a new way.
The Spiritual body or Higher Self
The spiritual body is pure spirit. It is the part of you that yearns to know god and have spiritual experiences which are beyond words. It is through your spiritual body that you receive the inspiration for what to manifest, and for HOW to manifest it.
What is delivered by your higher self may be the full, ultimate and final complete achievement of your goal, and it may be that your higher self opens up the path for you to achieve it.
Your higher self does this by sending you inspiration. This might be: the plot and words for the book, the idea for a great new product, the solution to your marketing problem, what to say in your advertisement, or the perfect thing to say to a potential client the closes the deal. Throughout history great thinkers have received inspiration from their Higher Selves, the structure of DNA, and the theory of relativity, the composition of the atom, equations and theories for solving many scientific, conundrums, artistic visions and the solutions to problems.
When you can connect to your higher self and receive information and insight your goals and desires become easy to manifest. Your Higher Self will send you what you need to achieve your goal. All you need to do is to ask.
Failed Manifestation
If you are not manifesting what you want it is because the manifestation process is getting stuck in one of the four bodies. If the process has not fully worked through or has skipped a body the process in will loop but never manifest. If you start to take action before you have thought the idea through in the mental body, you will take the wrong action. Or if you take action before you clear your negative emotions, you will continually fail to achieve your dreams, or even self sabotage. If you take no action, but continue to ask the universe, your desire will not manifest.
Once you are really clear about what you want. Consciously and with intent bring the manifestation process through each body.
Ask your higher self for help; be ready to receive the inspiration. Clarify your choices and make decisions. Create a plan. Notice where you are confident and where you have any fears or doubts and release them. Finally take appropriate action.
If you want to increase your income, then increase your capacity to generate and maintain energy in all of your four bodies. If you want to grow your wealth, grow yourself, evolve, change and improve.
The Pain of the Planet
Published February 15th, 2009 | For years I have used, and trained others in, the most sophisticated and effective therapies on the planet.
These therapies are specifically designed to release any amount of emotional and karmic pain.
And they work with amazing effectiveness. I know they work, yet I still feel pain. For years I have mistakenly believed that this pain was mine.
This pain keeps me awake at night and pushes me on and on and on. This pain makes me strive to heal and help others and to do this in an ethical and karmically balanced way.
I have now realised this…
The pain that I feel is not mine at all. It is the pain of the entire planet.
For some reason this gift or curse that I have has enabled me to feel the pain, suffering, hurts and fears of all the souls on the planet. This pain means I know who I can help and who does not need what I offer. This pain means I know exactly what another’s problem is and how to help them best to heal it. This pain means I hurt, physically and almost all the time. But this pain is not mine.
This pain drives me on to strive to heal and change and enable others to grow, to evolve and achieve spiritual enlightenemnt. Sometimes I don’t know how I do what I do, I just do it and see the results. It caused me to set up Psycademy. It caused me to stay and work in this business doing what I do even though it is has been at massive personal expense and pain.
So many want and need what I offer yet so few will take the very steps they must take before I can help them.
This pain means that when someone contacts me or comes to me, joins my mailing list or even just reads my website or newsletter I know that I can help them. I feel the pain of others and I trigger them to become aware of it in themselves.
This opens up two paths for people.
Some choose to join me. Some are ready to join Psycademy. They read our newsletter and learn and grow, they enrol on trainings or purchase our products. They grow, and heal and change and leave their pain behind. This frees not only them but myself.
Others fear me. They are not ready and so they fear my business, they are suspicious. They come into contact with us and feel pain. They suddenly feel their own pain that they have kept suppressed for years. The mistakenly blame or accuse us, me for causing this pain. They attack me, viciously and personally, and that too hurts me. After all I’m only a human with a gift for raising awareness. But I know it is only their pain that is talking, not the true spirit behind them. So I forgive them and move on to the next person who is ready.
Right now, the world is in pain. Probably more pain than ever before. I can feel your pain. The fear, fear of lack, fear of failure, fear of the future, fear for your children and for your parents, fear for society, for the planet. I feel the guilt and the hurts and the anger at the injustice of the state of the planet right now. I feel the utter dispair.
Sometimes, late at night I allow myself to fully feel their pain. Do I feel it for them so that they don’t have to? Do I carry this burden for those who can’t? Just as any mother whose child is in pain will scream inside “Hurt me – let me feel the hurt for them?” Is this why I chose to carry it?
Do I feel it so that I can bring it to their awareness? I don’t know. It’s not really important. The important thing is that I keep on going. I keep offering the love and support that I do. I keep sending my newsletters, posting on my blog, going and meeting people, speaking to people, running my trainings, offering my therapies, offering my home study and home therapy packs. Offering to anyone who is ready and willing to recieve.
And I trust. I trust that all is well, and all will be well. Even in the pain of the now, I feel the joy and release of it too. Which always comes. Every time a soul finds their path, which may or may not be with Psycademy, I feel that release and that joy.
What I feel cannot be described. But I do not believe in am alone. There are a few, a very few who know what it takes for me to do what I do.
Join me. Leave me. Choose your path, but release your pain, surrender to it and become free. Descend into the pain. Don’t fear it. Dive into it. You will become connected in a way you never imagined possible.
Your pain will turn to bliss and joy.
Free yourselves. Free the planet.
