Foundation of Success: Self Confidence, part 1 of 4



There are certain basic foundations of character that I do not cover at my site. One of them is self confidence. We need self confidence to trust our instincts, our intuition, and, of course, our psychic powers.

We all must take those necessary steps, no matter how small, in order to bolster and strengthen our self confidence to do what’s necessary and good for ourselves and the people closest to us.

Since I was very young, I had a kind of “shell” that detoured from self confidence. As I recall from when I was a 5th grader with Miss English as my instructor, there was an after school music instructor who introduced concepts of music to the class by our participation in a song with one note xylophones wherein we would hit our note at the correct time.

I couldn’t hit my note exactly and the music teacher proceeded to make an example / laughing stock out of me in front of the other kids. When I noticed that some of the other kids didn’t hit their note exactly right either, but did not suffer the same attitude adjustment, that put me right off of music for at least half my life.

I would always pass the music classes during grade school from that day forward wondering what my life would be like, if only I felt accepted for my little imperfections.

I also wonder how many other children have suffered the same fate because of heartless teachers who enjoy destroying young, developing egos.

Parents, in particular, need to understand the importance of participating in a child’s life in order to bolster their child’s confidence. By the time my parents had me, they didn’t care about my upbringing. I can’t help but wonder how many kids have suffered the fate of adults who pick and choose who they believe needs that extra support.

We must also realize that most adults are not much more than kids themselves, therefore, they don’t know how to raise kids. Their general philosolphy is, “my parents raised me fine, so I must know how to be a good parent too.” Therefore, the problem becomes generational.

How I wish I had access to the self improvement tools we have today. Fortunately, there are people like Jim McElwee who cover such a basic foundation of character as self confidence. Jim McElwee is like the Rudolph Steiner of self improvement and personal growth; he opens our eyes and hearts to these concepts that allow us to grow beyond our shortcomings bred into us by our so-called “mentors.”

“The End of the Beginning of the End” on the Gulf Disaster

Gerald O’Donnell has provided us with a few thoughts concerning the Gulf oil spill at “Beginning of the end or the End of Our Beginning?” Gerald is the designer of the ARVARI Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing Courses:

Hello Dear friend,

I wish I could just send you beautiful cotton-candy fluffed news. Sometimes, reality calls for a check and opening to Higher awareness outside of one’s bubble of reality.

Please forgive me, if I do not immediately put a smile on your face. However, what should soon happen, if we all react properly, will be pure bliss to all of us.

We, at the Academy of Remote Viewing and Influencing Reality have done much Remote Viewing work recently about the current world events and our most probable future by getting information from the level of One beyond the Delta level.

Because of the seriousness with which we view the potential proximate end of this Creational experiment, we would like to share the following article.

http://probablefuture.com/Beginning%20or%20End.htm

Our work indicates that our horizon looks very much filled with very dark clouds.

Darkness, as unconsciousness, is leaking everywhere.

I beg you to spread this link and message far and fast, to as many individuals and postings, as you possibly can. I do need your help in posting this all around.

This is not only about me or only about you; it is about all of us, and our common survival as a family.

Thank you.

Much Love

Gerald O’Donnell

P.S. Some of you don’t think much of Spiritual Cinema Circle for some reason. Perhaps, you have some preconceived notions about the actors or the economic motivations behind getting people to subscribe to “Spiritual Cinema Circle.”

We must ask ourselves, “What is the main purpose of Spiritual Cinema Circle? What does it hope to accomplish?” The answer is simple: “To give us hope and faith in each other - and to shift our focus from fear to love.”

A drama always reflects its audience in different ways, but it always reflects its audience at the emotional level; this is the essence of drama, to reflect its audience at the emotional level.

The Law of Attraction

Drama serves us accordingly when we are able to positively apply lessons therein to our own lives. We also listen to music for the same reasons. The artists who we appreciate reflect our thoughts and feelings in their songs.

When we allow life positive feelings from these artistic media into our lives, we reflect those same feelings into the world as in the law of attraction. Our power of attraction is controlled by our underlying feelings. When we feel hope and goodness, these things are attracted into our lives per the law of attraction.

Remote Influencing

The same concept applies to remote influencing. In fact, there’s no difference between the law of attraction and remote influencing, except remote influencing breaks the space / time barrier to bring things into our lives according to our underlying feelings.

For this reason, the ARVARI Remote Influencing Course consists of many hours of programming positive feelings into us during altered states of consciousness. The difference between Spiritual Cinema Circle and the ARVARI Course is:

  • You take time to time to watch and listen to one program in the waking state while you are induced into trance states in the other.
  • You gain life positive feelings in the waking state watching one program while you gain life positive feelings listening to the other while you’re in a trance.

Which type of program is better than the other? Actually, they are both useful for inducing positive attitudes. They can both be enjoyed simultaneously by friends and family. They are both useful in the law of attraction.

Remote influencing takes us several steps further by programming us during altered states of consciousness with positive attitudes, for example, from the ARVARI Remote Influencing Course:

RI Training Session 2
  • Deprograms and cleanses past memories
  • Experience the Great Void
RI Training Session 3
  • Explores the levels of the mind with full consciousness: Alpha, Theta, and Delta
  • Create the flame of Eternal Joy within your heart
  • Reconnect to the Womb - The Source
RI Training Session 4
  • Experience Delta, your center of energy and the silvery cord
  • Reprogram your DNA and healing rejuvenation
  • Reprogram yourself into a new being; healing and strong physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually
  • Learn principles of manifestations and increase inner vibrations
  • Experience Joy, overcome fear-vibrations of mass-consciousness
  • Use flowers and nature’s portal to the non-physical quantum level
  • Liberate yourself from mind bondage
RI Training Session 5
  • Reach deep Delta and experience other mental states in the process
  • Cultivate your inner smile
  • Learn lucid dreaming and manifesting from that level
  • Use deep Delta as a Stargate to higher levels

The above lessons are from CDs 6 through 9 in the ARVARI Remote Influencing Course. I would love to tell you about the content from these CDs, except that I have been falling asleep each time, so I can’t remember any of the content, not on a waking level. As far as the effects, I have been getting some strange dreams lately.

As of late, I’ve been having dreams about things and people I don’t recognize. In my dreams, I seem to know everyone and everything I’m doing, but when I wake up, it’s all strange to me. Last night, I had a dream that I was playing this bizarre stringed instrument, a cross between a ukelele, mandolin and a violin; it had bizarre, yet beautiful sounds coming from it as I plucked and strummed the (6) strings which raised up and down as I played it - like a piano.

It turned out I was playing for a huge audience and they all seemed pleased with my performance. I still recall their smiling faces, but I didn’t recognize anyone. OK, I guess that was a good feeling type of dream; it might have something to do with the music programs I’ve been writing lately to go with the brainwave entrainment - and I’m always looking for these special sounds.

That’s another major difference: Watching a Spiritual Cinema Circle movie with family and friends, we can ask, “Do remember that downs syndrome guy with the tape recorder?” And we would remember.

But with the ARVARI Course, if we ask, “hey, do you remember using deep Delta as a Stargate to higher levels?” The response would be, “no, but I remember these strange dreams…”

In the next post, I’m covering how our dreams reflect our subconscious abilities to solve problems. Imagine combining that with a positive attitude, how much better life would be for us and the rest of humanity?

Thanks for your time.

Healing Thoughts,

Randolph

Why Do You Want Control Over the Life of Others?

A funny thing happened to me while I was listening to the extended remote viewing in theta disc, the bonus within the ARVARI Remote Viewing Course package. I thought that got up and went about my regular business. In fact, I “got up” in my mind and dreamed that I was interviewing people about what they want out of the ARVARI Remote Viewing Course.

The bonus theta CD is over seventy nine minutes. In one perspective, it’s a marathon session. Gerald O’Donnell leaves this gap in the session where we only hear theta brainwave entrainment or rhythmic ocean sounds - not quite the intense experience of OceanScape Ghostship, Altered States, but it’s enough.

I had this intense sensory visualization that I went down my street talking with people about what benefits they want to from a remote viewing course; this experience seemed to last for an entire day which was quite a marathon session considering that the actual gap in the theta session is about a half hour - maybe less.

Gerald racapped the main devices for going into theta and delta rhythms. He also has a slightly different method of guided meditation here, in that he has us bouncing our consciousness from an infinitely small perspective to and infinitely large one throughout most of the session. The method is a bit Kabbalist wherein we project our minds infinitely into different directions. And I must admit, Gerald worried me a bit when he began the session with “Hello, Dear One…”

With that said, the gap in the session where Gerald tells us that we should communicate with our higher selves means that he wanted us to be on our own to experience ourselves, with only our own system of beliefs and world paradigm to shape our experience. In my case, I’m guessing my higher self are these people I was interviewing in my mind, but I’m not completely sure.

Learning Tool Parable for Education: Humility

Although I’ve been through the CD3 session of the ARVARI Remote Viewing Course, I’ve chosen to delay my review of it because of several inclemencies I’ve experienced during and after the sessions.

The whole idea of remote viewing is strange enough to most people. It’s just too “out there” and of course it’s a joke now because of “Men Who Stare at Goats.” The thing is there are very strange customs and practices in this world that don’t make sense until we apply them in the real world. When we do that, we’re able to look at the big picture of how things fit together.

Do you remember “Karate Kid?” “Wax on, Wax off” didn’t make much sense, right? Not until Mr. Miyagi demonstrated how “Wax on, Wax off” is applied in a real world situation of self defense. In fact, there are a number of practices in old world martial arts that are considered very strange, if not mundane, to the “civilized” Western Mind, yet have practical uses in real world situations.

The same concept applies to psychic senses like remote viewing. Like an old world martial arts dojo, each school of remote viewing has it’s own methods of teaching. These methods are very strange, much like the method on CD3 of the ARVARI Remote Viewing Course, but like I said, I’m not going to review CD3 yet. And as you know, when I say it’s “very strange,” then you know it’s got to be out there.

Instead, I want to share an important lesson with you; it’s one of many lessons in martial morality. In martial arts, remote viewing, or any esoteric activity that takes intense discipline there will always be people with the attitude, “I’ve already learned this. I already know that. What more can you teach me?” For the moment, I want to discuss humility.

Honest, Selfless, Loving, Caring = Meaning of Life?

It’s been said that the best things in life are free - although in our hyper-consumptive culture, you’d be hard-pressed to find many people who would agree with you.

 

Our friends at Spiritual Cinema Circle recently found a beautiful feature film entitled Amal. It’s a modern-day parable that tells the story of a man named Amal - a simple, humble auto-rickshaw driver in the colorful, bustling city of New Delhi, India. Content with the small but vital role he plays in life, to drive his customers throughout the city as safely as possible, Amal is a man who lives simply to do “the right thing” in every situation.

 

One day Amal drives an eccentric billionaire who, disguised as a vagabond, is searching the streets for the last morsel of humanity; someone he can leave all his money to. His children are ungrateful spoiled brats and his colleagues are corrupt, money-sucking leeches.

 

Despite all his wealth, the old man wanders the city hoping to find the two things his money has never brought him - hope for humanity and peace for his soul. In Amal, he discovers a dying breed: a man who is honest, selfless, loving, and caring.

 

This riveting and surprising tale ultimately reveals that the poorest of men are sometimes the richest.

 

Amal

Enjoy the movies!

How Corporate Etiquette Affects Consumers: Kaizen

Wednesday of this week, I had the dubious distinction of witnessing a deposition panel on a federal lawsuit. This lawsuit involves one of the biggest companies in the world versus another company that threatened it’s market share.

I’m not allowed to say who these companies are because I signed a confidentiality agreement. But I will describe the situation in terms of a metaphor in the form of an anecdote:

A boy and girl in high school were once dating each other. They were celebrated as the most famous couple in high school because the girl was the beautiful prom queen and the boy was the smartest and talented kid in school.

A problem started when the boy got tired of the girl; he didn’t approve of the way the relationship was going. She was closed minded, yet so demanding of him. He craved more freedom…

Love Outside Your Comfort Zone vs. the Comfort of Death?

Imagine the following: You are a single, thirty-something professional…and you discover you have a very serious, life-threatening case of leukemia even though you are symptom-free. The next day you meet the love of your life at a nightclub and begin a relationship, knowing you haven’t long to live.

 

 

At what point, do you think, are you obligated to share what’s going on with your health?

 

 

We posed this question to a few of our favorite spiritual luminaries:

 

 

“I don’t have any judgment on someone doing otherwise, but I would personally feel an ethical responsibility to disclose that information sooner rather than later.”
- Marianne Williamson

 

 

“Immediately. A good relationship and a real, loving relationship is based in truth and integrity.”
- Deepak Chopra

 

 

“Decadent doctors focused on death functions rather than the spirit of their patients are the real threat. Love is the real cure.”

- HealingMindN

 

 

This scenario describes the plot of Counting Backwards, Spiritual Cinema Circle’s feature film for Volume 1. In this film, career-driven Joe is diagnosed with terminal leukemia on the eve of his big promotion. He reevaluates everything. Now that his days are numbered, the questions that used to be so easy to avoid are impossible to ignore.

 

 

Joe commits to living the life he always wanted and begins a quirky relationship with Claire, the fun-loving girl of his dreams. This romance sets the stage for an imaginative, inspiring take on what life could be about if Joe were willing to fight for it.

 

 

Thanks to our friends at Spiritual Cinema Circle, you can receive Counting Backwards plus a very special in-depth interview with WAYNE DYER along with 3great short films for free* (you just pay small shipping fee). Start your free trial today!
