True Confessions on Time, Energy, and Money.

Time, Energy, and Money ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

My husband took the week off from work, before letting me know. I had a Telesummit scheduled for Tuesday, and my radio show Wednesday, plus my regular calls and meetings, so my calendar was super busy.

I work from home and it was challenging to maintain my focus with him being in ‘staycation mode’. I made it through the Telesummit but when my radio show co-host suggested that we air a rerun rather than a live show, I heartily agreed.

In Port Townsend, the house behind us is haunted!

After completing my regular calls Thursday, hubby and I took a “daycation” up to historic Port Townsend, and yet on the way I had this nagging feeling I was playing hooky - that I should be working.

Now here’s the thing, I work for myself, I work from home, my schedule is entirely my own. No one's gonna fire me for taking a day off.

I decided to record our show live on Wednesdays (although we do have to fit into an available spot in our radio station’s lineup), I decide I write my blog and send out my Ezine on Fridays. I choose to host Meetups on Saturdays or Sundays, I usually film my YouTube videos on Tuesdays (although the last two weeks I didn’t, due to the upcoming Telesummit).

True Confessions: NONE of these activities actually PAY ME. They’re all designed to support, help and enlighten others. And if someone decides to hire me for coaching, great.

Ironically, a lot of people I work with have money issues. When we shine a light on them, it often reveals they have trouble with their focus on time, and how they spend their energy.

Sometimes they have six figure incomes, but are miserable. They either hate their jobs, or hate their commutes. Or they’re spinning their wheels trying to make an income, feeling like they're going nowhere. They struggle with compulsive spending, credit cards, or underearning and deprivation.
They have confusion about the money or debt they do have, and vagueness about where their time is going.

As they gain clarity about their numbers and their actions, their circumstances rapidly improve. They feel feel more prosperous and abundant with less effort and stress. Because it actually isn't about the money, it's about the quality of their lives and relationships.

I spend my time and energy in ways that prioritize my relationships with my husband and now adult kids. I make choices based on my expanded perspective as Consciousness. I have a prosperous life and feel wealthy with my relationships.

My coach describes his schedule as "fiercely lifestyle friendly", which basically means that if it's going to compromise his values, he isn't going to do it.

I suspect he uses the word 'fiercely' because of the enormous morphic "work ethic" field that says you have to put in long hours, with a lot of effort and sacrifice in order to create a good life.

That nagging feeling I had yesterday? I was reacting to the same message, same morphic field.

As with anything in this world, the opposite is true.

The harder you try to attain something, the farther away it will be. Effort kills creativity. We give up so much power to these 'work ethic' ideals and completely miss the point that we're Infinite Beings and this world is our playground.

Realize that *you* are Consciousness and all the power is within you, not out there.

If you work a job-job, try being there as Consciousness, and see how it alters the experience for you. You may find it being more playful and fun.

If you're looking work, try approaching the interviews as Consciousness, and see how the dynamic changes.

Try prioritizing what's important to you, rather than what you think the world thinks is important, and watch how rapidly your life reorganizes in your favor.

When you use your time and energy as the infinitely creative and powerful Consciousness that you are, your world transforms.

Play with this for the next 7 days, and see what happens!

Are You Experiencing Reality As A Stick Figure?

Are You Experiencing Reality As A Stick Figure? ©2018 Joan Newcomb

How are you experiencing reality? Does it feel very extreme, very black-and-white, intense drama, reactivity? Or do you have breathing space, clarity, balance, choice?

On a walk this week I mused about reality and manifestation.  When I'm aligned and connected, my surroundings come into sharp focus.  Greens seem greener, trees are more defined.  I get the sense of walking through this physical reality and it's more profoundly 'real' but on a multi-dimensional level.

There's a belief that this reality is a full-immersion video game, that we're walking around in these meat suits, but we're making it all up.  It goes so far as to imply that others in our reality aren't real, we created them to be there.

Are you experiencing your reality as a stick figure?

As an empath, I had difficulty with this, because I can feel other people's feelings, even if they're 3,000 miles away.  They are sharing their emotional reality with me, and I know it's not mine.

Even though I have a higher awareness, I can easily feel entangled in intensity and drama, extreme emotions, if I'm experiencing other's reality. If I resist it, I get more stuck in it. If I can detach, I can feel compassion for their challenges, and send healing.

But the 'I create my own reality, and nothing is real, including other people' didn't work for me, at least in the cartoonish way it was presented.

It also says that there is no free will, we're all going along predetermined scripts, so stop trying to change, fix, or control things.  This didn't quite feel true to me, either.

Technology has advanced in the years since I first heard this idea, and we now have on-line gaming and Wii.

And while I've been musing, two videos came to my attention.  The first one was Bill Nye ("The Science Guy") talking about creationism vs. evolution.  Creationism can be very black and white, very limiting.  God created everything, God put us here, full stop.

It's a one dimensional explanation for a multi-dimensional world.

The second video was Neil deGrasse Tyson saying the most astounding fact is that our molecules and atoms are made up of the same elements from the beginning of the Universe.

As I listened to the second video, which really described evolution from the initial creation of the Universe, I realized that it was taking Creationism's stick figure explanation and giving it width and depth and length.

Sometimes Science, however, leaves out the aspect of Consciousness, which gives their theories color and tone.

When we were collectively operating from a lower level of awareness, we could only understand things from a stick-figure perspective.  What was written in ancient texts was complex ideas put  forth in a simplistic fashion, much like how you would talk to a child about college level subjects.

'I created my reality, nothing is real, including other people, there is no free will, it's all pre-scripted' is too simplistic as well.

Reality is a complex creation of Consciousness, a game with infinite levels of possibilities.  You can play it any way you want.  There is free will, just like a Gamer has choices of taking different actions and it changes the outcome of their playing session.  There are other Gamers in the equation, which makes the whole experience much more interesting.

It's not just you in your own studio composing on a synthesizer, but an orchestra of musicians each contributing their piece.

And yet, on a higher level, it is.  As Consciousness, you've put forth the elements, but you've also created individuals to run around and bang their own symbols.  You are both Consciousness and the symbol-banger.  You are both the Programmer and the Gamer.

However, in your 'meat-suit', there's only so much you can comprehend.  The more immersed you are in the denseness of physical reality, the less you can be attuned to the greater world.

In my early metaphysical training, there was distain for intellectualism.  In many religious belief systems there's an aversion to the Mind.  It's true that the intellect/Mind can distance you from spiritual Truth, but it's the same distortion as *lack* of intelligence saying Creationism is the only reality.

Consciousness in an Intelligence greater than your own brain, greater than your individual mind.  It's the Internet vs. your hard drive.  God is not a jealous or limiting or punishing god.  God is Consciousness.

And it's not all just atoms and molecules and fishes with feet.  The invisible reality beyond that which is measurable, is Consciousness.

Consciousness brings both dichotomies together.  Because Consciousness transcends time and space, so from that perspective you could say there's no evolution, but only because it's all happening at once (no time).

If, while you are walking along a street, you could shift your vibration to a lower speed, you could see what occurred on that street in the past.  If you could raise your vibration to a higher speed, you could see what will be happening on that same sidewalk in the future.

Your meat suit can't do that.  Your Consciousness can.

But don't go there (unless you're on your third espresso of the day).  You are Consciousness manifesting in this meat suit for the fun of experiencing this present moment in these parameters of density and effort.  When you die, you'll realize your lifetime only a blink of an eye, that you always are Consciousness.  If you spend all your time going outside yourself to feel Spirit, you'll miss the point of being here.

However, this Reality game is so big, it encompasses every belief and approach.  Just as there is no one True religion, nor definition of God, there's no one right way to live life.

Go ahead an visualize, go ahead and use manifestation techniques.  Or let go of creating your reality and go with the script.  It's all valid.

If you choose to be a fundamentalist, that's the Game you'll experience.  If you choose to be an atheist, that's the reality you'll have.  From the level of Consciousness, there is no good or bad (ethics only exist in the physical realm).

This week, I invite you to play with whatever works for you.  Just being playful can shift you out of extremes and reactivity. Try it for yourself. And see what happens!

Manifesting Money and Miracles! It's Not About The Money

Manifesting Money and Miracles: It's Not About The Money ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

Part of my Total Transformation coaching program is a training on Manifesting Money and Miracles. I've worked with many people who were struggling with debt or compulsive spending.

They all thought the solution to their problems would be a winning lotto ticket.

But a ton of cash wasn't what they really wanted. Whatever you think you want to manifest, it isn't about the money.

When they shifted their focus to operating as Consciousness, what they discovered surprised them. Their lives reorganized in ways more perfect than they could have imagined.

"It's *like* I've won the lottery," more than one of them has said to me.

This world is one of dichotomies, where the harder you try to make something happen, the less likely it is to manifest. When you run after the thing you desire, it's apt to disappear. It's all mirages and rainbows out there.

Manifestation as Consciousness requires you to do the opposite of what you would normally do operating as a personality in a body.

That doesn't mean you spend your days meditating on your navel. Although spending some time each day (or spontaneously throughout the day) shifting your focus will create definite results.

What you notice as you begin living as Consciousness in form, is that things effortlessly show up in your life. You don't have to try.

You feel expansive. You feel a sense of well being. You feel clear and fully present.

This is hard to understand when you're tied in knots, not answering your phone in fear of the IRS or creditors. Debt is a big vacuum, sucking dry your ability to create. It feels impossible to climb out of the wreckage of your finances.

When you shift to navigating life as Consciousness, abundance easily flows. You find you have everything you need, even more than you thought you could have. It shows up in ways you don't expect, from places you hadn't considered.

You realize that it's not about the money. It's about the quality of your life.

Living as Consciousness, life is abundant. You feel prosperous, regardless of the numbers in your bank account. Oh you still can have the house, the car, the trip. But the experience of these things is so much richer from the perspective of Consciousness.

The way you know you're on the right track with all of this, is that synchronicity increases. When you're aligned as Consciousness, you find yourself in a constant state of amusement as life becomes a string of serendipitous occurrences. They're reminders that this world is a holographic creation of Consciousness.

And it all starts with shifting your state.

Is There Any Such Thing As Perfect Timing?

Is There Any Such Thing As Perfect Timing? ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb

Today I’m musing about timing. I’ve been having things come into form that have taken ten years to manifest. My first book, originally written in April of 1996, was self published in 2006. I’m getting a handle on money issues that have been around at least that long, if not longer. I’m in a relationship that’s everything I’ve always wanted – and have been consciously praying for and energetically working on manifesting since the early 80’s.

Then I think about manifestations from my earlier years – my two kids were planned pregnancies that occurred without effort, with quick births, yet they had their own timing for being born.

Why do some things happen quickly and some things take forever to show up?

When I was a teenager I lost 50 pounds, simply by charting what I ate, limiting calories, and walking to school and back every day (about 5 or 6 miles). It took most of a year to do this, and was tremendously transformative and empowering.

Buoyed by this experience, I set my sights on a relationship, which took about five months to get the guy to go out with me. It was initially wonderful but then heart breaking.

As I look back over my different life experiences, some consciously manifested, some unconsciously attracted, and there has been a sense of what I used to call Divine Timing in all of it.

“The Universe gives you what you can handle” is one way I used to look at it. You attract what you’re ready for, is another way. I’ve resisted what I thought the Universe was giving me; at times I'd say "it thinks I’m too friggin’ capable".

But now I have a different perspective as Consciousness,  reframing my experience of timing, and also of manifestation.

It's not the Universe giving me anything, it's me as Consciousness creating everything I experience in the physical.

Someone once mentioned that reincarnation didn’t make any sense to them because everything was happening at once. I got the instant understanding that there is no time or space as Consciousness, so from the perspective of Consciousness, all past and future lives are happening ‘at the same time’ this one is. There is no linear link from past to future, it’s not like going up grades in school. And if you can grasp that in Consciousness there is no individuality, then there’s really no one spark of light going through a series of experiences (like grades in school). As aspects of Consciousness we just jump into the pool of life, splash about, and then jump out into the All-That-Is.

As I reconcile it taking me so long to get to where I am at, I realize that it really took no time at all. Each lifetime is just a blink of an eye. And what I’ve accomplished in this one is just a glimmer of the great Spark of all of creation.

As I relax into a perspective of creating as Consciousness, it really doesn’t matter how much or how little I have achieved. It’s all about Creation. It’s all about playfully creating in the physical. I either manifest something, or I don’t. It either happens now, or later, or not. I create this, or I create something else. And I can choose to create happy thoughts, happy experiences, or challenging ones.

When I shift to navigating life as Consciousness, what shows up is bigger than my little mind can imagine.

And when you add the awareness of Parallel Universes into the mix, you realize that you as Consciousness are simultaneously experiencing other possibilities within this storyline. There's a parallel self that has experienced success earlier in life, there's a parallel self that is already experiencing whatever I want to create right now.

Whatever you want to create, it already exists, you just need to step into the Universe where you already have it.

It becomes a much more fun way to experience life. And I can welcome all these wonderful things coming into my life and enjoy my time with them Now. Which is really the only time there is.

Intersections of Life

Intersections of Life ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb

My evolving awareness is that life is a creation of Consciousness, and we *are* that Consciousness. It's not accurate to say it's an illusion but it's a manifestation of our focus as Consciousness.

I use the term 'hologram' for this world, which isn't entirely accurate but then language cannot begin to describe the process of going from our infinite vastness into the density of form.

I also describe life in this world as a game, because to Consciousness, it is a kind of full immersion 'virtual reality' experience.

By Peter Gorman (for sale on Etsy*)

There are lots of ways to play this game, and there's no good or bad way to participate. You can dive in, completely unconscious, and feel tossed and turned by it. At this level you experience physical reality at it's most dense. In order to create you have to use a lot of effort and it takes a lot of time.

Another way to play is with some awareness, in the realm of thought and law of attraction. This takes less effort and feels more playful, as you use visualization and repetition (and vision boards and pink balloons) to make your ideas become real.

Yet when you're playing fully as Consciousness all the old rules go out the window. You have no need to try to manifest anything. You know that You are creating all of this as Consciousness, down to the smallest detail. You just show up fully in the present moment and respond to what is.

In fact there's no need to make anything happen in the hologram, because there's an infinite number of holograms with an infinite number of possibilities and outcomes. You just shift yourself to where the reality is unfolding in your favor.

However, even if you choose to play fully as Consciousness, it doesn't mean everything is just ducky.

If ever there was a time I wanted to change, fix, or manipulate the hologram, last month was it. The house we were living in had mold, and I'd been able to ignore it since turning off the furnace in Spring, but knew that come September there'd be problems again.

Life flows forward like cars in traffic and if you don't make conscious choices, eventually you'll feel that you're forced into them. You're not really forced into anything, but if you're driving without your hands on the wheel... or with your eyes closed...

What I observed happening over the previous month was possibilities arising and stepping towards each one. Reality reorganized around that possibility and I had the opportunity to check it out in body. Then it would shift to a different scenario as I became clear about my preferences.

What ultimately unfolded is perfect but completely different than I originally thought I'd wanted. When you play as Consciousness what shows up is beyond what you could possibly imagine and the house we're in now certainly is that.

While writing this blog post, I came across an illustration of the intersections of Seattle by Peter Gorman. When he first moved to Seattle, a friend told him that Seattle's layout is easy to understand. "It's all a grid," she said, "until it's not."

It's a perfect one-dimensional rendering of Seattle's three-dimensional intersections. Life has such intersections, just on a multidimensional level.

This game is infinitely complex. You come to places in your life's journey that are more complicated than mere crossroads. There are multiple possible options. In form you can only experience one option at a time. The good news is that there are no mistakes, as Consciousness you're running and experiencing all the options instantaneously and simultaneously. 

Play it any way you feel moved to play it. And, if you choose to play it as Consciousness, it will start unfolding in surprising, sometimes bizarre, and sometimes delightful ways!

Creating Moments of Joy

Creating Moments of Joy ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

When I was caring for my mother who had Alzheimer's, I got this book called "Creating Moments of Joy". It specifically focuses on being in the present moment with people with dementia and celebrating whatever happiness you can have, right here and now.

It was an enormous relief not to fight what was happening, but to dance with her memory loss and the resulting behavior as the filters broken down. We savored the moments, sitting in the sunshine and going for drives in the countryside.  And monthly field trips to the Kreeger museum that has a special program for people with memory loss and their caregivers. And, a couple times, before it became impossible, an evening at the theatre.

Those moments are highlights over the rest of that time, which was nearly unbearable, it was so painful. Yet when I look back, those are the times I remember the most, more than the others.

It seems to me life is a series of moments of joy, amongst times of challenges.

When we're little, we flow from one moment to the next. We find joy in dandelions and butterflies. We cry when we scrape our knee. We laugh at silly things.

As we get older we accumulate more 'scraped knees', and carry the experiences with us. Rather than picture books of happy times, we're galleries of war photos.

You can't move forward, with your evolution as Consciousness, with such density.

In stressful times, you need moments of joy. It's not being in denial about the awful things going on. It's coming up for air once in a while.

The worst is coming out of the woodwork right now because we're in a collective shift to a higher vibration of consciousness. It's in the process of being cleared, as it's exposed to more light it cannot fail to disintegrate.

It's painful to watch. It's reopening wounds, revisiting past trauma. Which is allowing us to heal our scar tissue. We can get through this by creating moments of joy.

Moments of joy can also redirect you out of misery. It doesn't take very long to shift longstanding patterns and introduces new experiences of reality. Abraham Hicks says it only takes 17 seconds. You catch your habitual thoughts and redirect them.

When I manifested my now husband, l did this. I realized I'd been driving around thinking of all the terrible relationships I'd had. Which was creating an energetic inventory for the next relationship. So I deliberately focused on the qualities I wanted instead, and he showed up.

By creating joyful moments, you can created more of them. You shift your attention to what you want (without resisting what you don't want), you bring it into existence.

There will always be things to resist. There will always be pain and unpleasantness. This planet is a dichotomy of beauty and ugliness, a playground of density and effort. We're here to create, to bring our unique vibrations, to feel the feelings of the physical realm.

What moments of joy can you create today? Be on the lookout for opportunities. As you notice them, more possibilities show up. You'll gradually rise up out of the current vibratory level to one of more wellbeing. And this has a ripple effect. It assists with the collective evolution. As more of us create moments of joy, the more joyous the world will become.

Birthing The New You

Birthing The New You ©2016 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

Last night was pretty phenomenally uncomfortable. I woke up feeling constricted with competition. It was such a surprise to me, because I don't operate on that level any more. My work is so new, the focus is different, that it doesn't compare to what anyone else is doing. It would be like a runner competing with a hang glider. Different sports, different areas.

I'm not certain whose reality I was experiencing, but I would dearly love them to know -

Playing in the realm of Consciousness, you realize there's plenty for everyone. There's space for everyone to succeed. There's enough time, money, love.

Newborn in Nepal - photo credit: Krish Dulal

This world may seem rigid and finite, an adventure in Density and Effort, but when you're playing as Consciousness, you realize that it's all malleable. Time expands (or contracts) depending on your focus. Money is infinitely available (and usually comes out of left field rather than from the direction you're expecting it). You are enveloped in Love. You ARE Love. There is always enough.

Even if you're not feeling it right now, your inner Self knows it.

What it feels like now, is that we're going through a collective Quickening. We're feeling our creation kick. Their foot may actually be stuck under our ribcage. It's when your pregnancy goes from just being morning sickness and weight gain, to the awareness that there's something alive growing within you. It's exciting and a little terrifying.

For some who have felt this evolution longer, it may be actual Transition. The most intense phase of labor, the most painful part as the baby is moving out through your cervix to slide down your birth canal.

In my two pregnancies, which were both at home and without drugs, when labor started I thought, 'I've changed my mind!' Whoops - too late. The baby is coming. Your body knows what to do. Breathe and relax and push when you're in Transition.

You are giving birth to your New Self. The Greater Aspect of You is coming into form. It is powerful, it is exciting, it is thrilling and, yeah, a bit scary.

You've been going through contractions as you hit your internal limitations, all the programming and patterns created to convince you that you're the opposite of who You truly are.

The world has been reflecting this, as people are having meltdowns, people are losing their shit, archaic beliefs are rising up, people are collectively crying out, no longer tolerating the intolerable.

When you don't resist what is breaking down, when you don't hold on to what is disintegrating within your fingers, you can enjoy this process so much more.

What's on the other side of this is glorious. It is a love more profound than you can imagine. It is a greater relationship (with your Self) than you could have thought possible. It is the life of your dreams.

You are birthing You, you are magnificent, and adorable. You are loved, loveable, and worthy of love. You are surrounded by support. Everyone who shows up is a midwife or a doula to your new experience.

Relax, breath, and see what happens!

Wings with Feet - how to go after your dreams without tripping up!

Wings with Feet - how to go after your dreams without tripping up! ©2016 Joan M. Newcomb

We're in exciting times! We're all experiencing accelerated growth and change. To many people, this feels expansive and empowering. To others, they're completely freaked out.

This increased energy inspires us to go after our dreams. We can see the possibility out in front of us, and we make the quantum leap for it. We take off into the wild, blue yonder as if we had wings.

Making that dream a reality, bringing it back to Earth, requires landing gear.

Heart with Wings by Lederartisan

Some folks are always coming up with good ideas. They charge after them, filled with enthusiasm. Then, a few months down the line, they run out of steam. Their dream evaporates.

Some folks are magnificent planners. They get an idea for their great American novel, then spend the next two years researching it in minute detail. And never write a page.

Manifestation nowadays is easier than ever, so why are results so elusive?

Because the idea folks have wings but no landing gear. And the planners never get off the ground without wings.

Any manifestation requires a vision.  Consciousness communicates with images. Your vision communicates to your higher Consciousness your request. The clearer your vision, the better it is able to come into form.

Although visions can magically happen, the probably won't if you don't take any action. You may not know how your vision is ultimately going to manifest, but baby steps indicate your willingness to receive it.

Planning helps you prepare, helps you create the container to receive your request.  Yet, if you're freaked out by your own creative power, you're not going to bring your idea into form. You'll do a lot of busy work, running in circles, but not produce anything. You'll get distracted and do something else instead.

Making your dreams real require Visions, Actions, and Havingness. Havingness is the ability to have your Vision or desire. It's adjusting your energy so you can have it. Sometimes it requires letting go of everything keeping you from having it. Sometimes it requires you upping your energy to match the desired thing.

If you want to be in a relationship, you may need to clear that pile of books off your bed. You may need to join a few Meetup groups and get out of the house!

If you want to own a home, you may need to drive through a few neighborhoods and imagine what it would be like to live there. (You may also need to check your credit score and talk to a mortgage broker, but Consciousness can bypass some of those details in surprising ways if you're truly aligned).

If you want to increase your prosperity, you may need to look where you're acting impoverished. There's a difference between frugality and deprivation. It may not mean driving the latest BMW when you're buying groceries on credit cards.

Ultimately, expansion comes from within. Your body is your anchor in this reality. It is your focal point as Consciousness. Your dreams come from the realm of Consciousness. They come into form through your body.

Focusing on how you would feel if you had your vision is very powerful. It creates the emotional state within your body to generate the energy to bring it into being.

Play with this over the new few days and see what starts happening!

Making Stuff Real - Manifesting Ideas and Things

Making Stuff Real - Manifesting Ideas and Things ©2016 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

With the coming Solstice and Full Moon on Monday, I feel moved to write about the many ways we create reality in the physical realm.

Manifesting anything on this planet, whether it's a business idea or a garden, takes many elements. The soil or foundation that it's in, the water or fertilizer you give it, and the sun and the weather, which seem out of your control.

Traditional methods require specific steps, such as:

1. Thinking about it, coming up with an idea.

2. Research and Development

3. Design and Construction

4. Maintenance, etc.

We're translated that into Law of Attraction - type manifesting, with specific steps, such as:

1. Coming up with a Vision.

2. Creating a vision board or affirmations.

3. Giving regular focus to your Vision.

4. Determining baby steps and action, etc.

The difference between building something and with the Secret/LOA type manifesting is that in the Art of Allowing it to manifest you have to let it go. The magic is in releasing it to the Universe to be manifested.

People get stuck with affirmations because they can continue to keep whatever is desired out of reach. It keeps it as a wish rather than a vision coming into form.  Often their dream comes true when they quit working on it or give up. They've let go of trying to control the outcome and then it is "allowed" to happen.

There's an emotional component to manifesting in the physical as well. Add Feeling to your Vision and it seems to come about faster. If you feel wealthy, your life is more likely to become prosperous. If you feel doubt or fear, you may manifest something but it will have loopholes or distortions to it.

And, you can use the unseen energies of the moon cycles and the Solstice/Equinox cycle to boost your manifestations. You can set new intentions on the New Moon and see them come about by the Full Moon. You can align your personal growth cycle with Nature by calling in a new cycle of growth at the Fall Equinox, and be amazed at what comes to fruition by the Summer Solstice.

All of this, however, is working within the Hologram. This reality is created by Consciousness and you create your reality *as* Consciousness. As Consciousness, you have created this wonderful, complex design that uses biology and physics, but also 'mystical' frequencies, astrology that acknowledges the influence of planets and other celestial bodies.

Working within the Hologram means you utilize the prime directives of time and space. It's going to take time to manifest, and it's going to need room to manifest.

Creating as Consciousness, things seem to manifest out of thin air, and without any effort. You think of making a cup of tea and you walk into your kitchen to find that it's already made. The approach it different. You step into the Universe where the outcome is already in your favor, where whatever you want already exists. You change your state of being and your external state changes.

Time and space are reference points. You can send a parallel self out to do something so that when you get round to it, it happens almost instantaneously. 

Making stuff happen as Consciousness means throwing out the rule book, and coloring outside the lines. There's no diagnosis that can't be changed nor prognosis diverted. 

There's no urgency with this type of creating. You playfully approach whatever you want to make happen, curious about what will show up. Miracles are everyday and everyday is a miracle.

How do you get started Creating as Consciousness? It's as easy and effortless as reading this blog. You've just planted the seed, idea, or request. Now start noticing how it shows up!

Start Where You Are and Do Whatever You Do

Start Where You Are and Do Whatever You Do ©2016 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

Traditional farming plants by the season, and the results by harvest is a combination of weather and hard work. There's a time to sow, there's a time to harvest. If it's a cruel winter, the yield will be less. Fortunate temperatures bring abundant crops.

1938 Planets Guide

Traditional growth follows assumptive seasons and the results, too, are a combination of luck and hard work. You get good grades, go to the right college, get the right job, marry the right partner. Life may deal you some bad cards, there may be illness, economic downturn, even war. You man up and march through.

If you haven't achieved certain Societal Merit Badges by a specific time, it implied a deficiency of some sort. What's wrong with you, that your résumé looks sparse? Why aren't you married by now? You're the only one in the family that doesn't own a home...

From the perspective of Consciousness, all seasons are growing seasons, and life experiences are valuable harvest. Growth isn't linear and doesn't look a certain way.

This isn't just to say you can start at any time. This is also to say the trappings of success aren't indicators of such as Consciousness.

Consciousness creates this world as a playground, and it doesn't matter where you start or finish. You haven't failed the game if you die young. You haven't succeeded if you're 65 and a captain of industry.

Consciousness doesn't have measurements of success.

Consciousness dives into form for the delight of physical sensations, for the pleasure of interactions amongst other aspects of Consciousness. This isn't a swim meet, unless that's the way you choose to play in the physical. It's family swim, you can splash about in the deep end or the kiddies pool and it's all good.

When we view things from our linear perspective, we think it's bad not to have a long life. As Consciousness, all of this is happening in the blink of an eye, whether you're here for a moment or a century. A spark of the divine gains just as much from a short time in utero, not even being born, as it does by dwelling for decades in the same body.

We're obsessed with manifesting and accumulating mainly because it's also Consciousness's impetus to create in the physical. We want to make stuff, and make stuff happen, and make it happen to our specifications.

The garden of your life may look neatly designed and tended with care, or it may look like a scattered wilderness. You may produce prize winning blooms or really fascinating species of weeds.

As Consciousness, we just love to be here, love to create, love to interact with our creations.

It's a success to just show up and love.

Act Before You're Ready

Act Before You're Ready ©2015 Joan M. Newcomb

I'm scheduling Meetups in December and January and, boy, am I exhausted! Which is pretty funny, because I haven't left my desk all day.

When you plan to do something, a part of you goes out and does it. As Consciousness you're not fettered by time and space so anything you imagine you instantaneously experience - as Consciousness.

Visualization is great but another step needs to happen.

In actually scheduling these meetups (as opposed to just thinking about them), I've set an intention and set energy in motion for them to actually happen. As Consciousness I can go everywhere, do anything, be anything, but nothing comes into form unless action is taken.

In order for us to expand into a new experience, we have to move beyond our comfort zone.  We don't do that if we wait until we are ready. We'll never be ready when we stay where we are.

Giving ourselves a deadline, putting it on our calendar, provides an anchor point for the manifestation to happen. It also initiates inner growth.

We don't have to be ready when we schedule something. We'll be ready when it happens.

Don't let fear deter you. Our bodies feel fearful of the future, because they only exist in the present moment.  Non-existence equals death to bodies, so when we try to drag them into our future planning, they feel like they're gonna die!

Don't let your mind take you out. You brain has a collection of cells responsible for organizing your life, and holds such boundaries like 'don't cross the street without holding your mom's hand'.  You may be 56 years old, but your mind is still trying to keep you safe that way.  It will come up with all sorts of reasons why it's a bad idea, especially if you are taking a bold step towards happiness and freedom.

This doesn't mean you have to leap without looking, or dive in without any preparation (although that tends to be my way of doing things; I'm going title my autobiography 'Belly-Flopping Through Life')!
You can plan before you're ready, too.

Great visions are just grandiose dreams without solid plans of actions.  But you can paralyze yourself by wanting to do things perfectly.  Nobody ever leapt out of the womb tap dancing. We all had to crawl before we walked. Sometimes you just have to get started.

"Imperfect action beats perfect inaction every time." Harry Truman

As you've been reading this, ideas have been running through your mind. Books you want to write, career changes you want to explore, countries you'd like to visit.

Get started.  Do the first step. Take the first micro-action.  Put it on your calendar, research it on the internet. Start to make it real.

Try this for the next 7 days and see what happens!

Dirty Thoughts

This is still a powerful time for setting your intentions, creating your visions, and making choices to bring them into reality.  What kind of choices are you making?  From what space are you making them?

Manifesting through reality paradigms.  A fancy, schmancy way of saying, you can't paint with old oils (or watercolors).  Or an old paint brush!

You can set any number of intentions, make vision boards up the wazoo, recite affirmations until the cows come home, but if you remain in the same energy patterns, then you'll always create the same outcomes.

You can even 'do a geographic', move to another city, change your looks, change jobs, change friends, but if your core pictures don't reset, you'll stay the same.

It doesn't matter what seeds you plant, if they're going in cement and watered with vinegar, you're not going to grow anything.

What creates fertile soil?  What creates growth?

Do something different, anything different.  You can start with microsteps.  Drive a different route to work.  Wear a different color than you're used to wearing.

After you pour your morning coffee, set the timer to 5 minutes, put the phone or tablet down, close your eyes and breathe.  Listen to sounds.  Feel sensations in your body.

I know a couple who, after they moved to a different city to retire, spent a week using their non-dominant hands to do things, whether it was to pick up the coffee cup in the morning, hold the phone to their ear, open doors, etc.  It was a way of resetting their experience in a new environment.

Microsteps are great ways to create new habits.  Set the timer to 15 minutes and clear the clutter in your office.  Stop when the timer goes off, and move to a different room (unless you're on a roll, then stay where you are).

I know two different authors who prolifically write books by microstepping.  One works 30 minutes at a time regardless of her busy schedule.  One has multiple books going at once and writes on whichever one moves her at the moment.

You have to bypass your brain.  It was your stinking thinking that got you into a rut in the first place.  Dirty thoughts create a murky reality.

Haven't given an assignment for a while: For the next 7 days, make different choices every day.  And see what happens!

The Obstacle Course of Life

©2014 Joan M. Newcomb

All sorts of astrological weather going on this month.  We've a Grand Cross of opposing patterns, and two eclipses, bringing sudden endings and sudden beginnings.  Like a weather report, these things may or may not have an effect on you directly, but it's helpful to know what energy influences are potentially out there.

You can use the eclipses to your advantage.  Just as some people like to set intentions at the full moon, eclipses hold the 3x the power of an ordinary moon, and have an impact of 6 months to 2 years.  You can ride the energy of manifestation and time your major expansions accordingly.

We are all at choice about the direction we are going in.  Nothing is happening 'to us', we are not victims of circumstances (unless we choose to be).  We are infinite beings, creating our reality through our thoughts and actions.  We encounter situations and people who appear to be at cross purposes with us, but we've created them in our lives.

For instance, last year I created classes in Manifesting Money and Miracles, and a following course in Power and Prosperity.  "Coincidentally" things occurred that may have seemed disastrous at the time, but in reality were miracles.  Situations happened that looked like losses, including financially, but in actually expenses went down, income went up, and things are turning out better than they have in decades.

There's a major power struggle going on within my 'sphere of influence', but the person or persons wielding the most external power are in actuality the most powerless.  The ones who appear to be the most affluent are operating with the most insecure behaviors.

It's interesting to look around the world and see some of the wealthiest people acting the least generous.  On the other hand there are billionaires like Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates who are committed to giving 90% of their wealth away.

We navigate life through our perceptions, turning one way or another, which brings us towards different outcomes.  Consequences can be different, depending on our attitude and approach to them.

A number of people have reported being ill, some for a significant period of time.  I see that we all create illness for growth.  Sometimes it may be the result of spiritual changes, because as Spirit or Essence you become what you set your sights on, and it takes your body/personality time and space to catch up.  You raise Your vibration and your denser form needs to expand.

Getting sick is a reminder to take care of ourselves, to pay attention to our body, that resting is an activity, too.

I recently decided to stop doing some activities that were in actuality busywork or 'spinning my wheels' and my business increased.  I slowed down and surged forward.

All this illustrates that this planet is one of dichotomies.  We're light beings manifesting in Density and Effort.  Opposites are simultaneously happening all the time.

If you resist what is, it feels harder for you.  When you non-resist, it flows right by.

Life may seem like an obstacle course, but it's exactly what you've created to get where you're going.

This week, just go with the flow and see what happens!

Foundation and Freedom

©2011 Joan M. Newcomb

This is a pretty big topic, on many different levels.  We have this physical world, which to all appearances, requires structure in order to create form.  We have the non-physical world, the realm of Spirit or Energy, which is limitless, and yet is it what manifests form.

From the physical world perspective, manifestation requires effort.  It takes work to make something.  It requires time and materials to create anything, biological or technological or any other form.

From the non-physical perspective, it's instantaneous.  Reality takes place in the blink of an eye (and disappears as rapidly, as well).  In order to create from Spirit, it requires non-attachment, and no-effort (effortlessness).

A simplistic explanation is that 'thoughts become things'.  We have an idea, we give energy to it, and it shows up in our lives.  We think of something we don't want, and it shows up, too.  We view the world through our thought-perspectives, so that colors what we manifest as well.

Often when you let go of trying to attract something or someone into your life, it comes to you.  Why is that?  Because you've let go of effort and you've allowed the Universe to bring it.

When you focus on creating something, put all your thoughts and attention on it, and it doesn't come about, it's probably because you're holding on to it energetically, which keeps it as a desire rather than a reality.

Some people flop over to the other side in terms of letting go.  They release *completely* and just do whatever comes to mind.  Somethings things manifest, sometimes nothing does, they don't care because they're just enjoying the ride of life.  That works, too.  Or not.

Sometimes you need to create *inner* space for what you want to manifest.  You do all the above suggestions for creating wealth or a soul mate, but your inner life is 'a mess'.  You're up to your ears in credit card debt, or you're carrying resentments about your ex, those are indicators that you don't have room in your life for something different.

The non-physical realm is limitless and joyous, and represents freedom to us.  When we desire prosperity, we're really desiring freedom (freedom from worry, freedom from working at a job we don't love, etc.).  But when we think of what it would take to provide a foundation for that, it feels like restriction.  Why have a budget? Why keep track of a checkbook balance? If I win the lotto and am fantastically wealthy, I won't need any of that!  (Which is why most lottery winners are bankrupt within five years).  In actuality, structure brings freedom.  Being aware of spending opens up spaces for income to flow.  It's indicating to the Universe that you can handle more!

There's a difference between inner structure, where your inner life is organized, and external control.   One comes from Essence, and allows the real you to flow through, and the other comes from fear, which is a body-level experience.  Notice the difference as you navigate.

People feel the same way about commitment and relationships.  They get scared of committing because they think they'll be trapped.  In reality you are committing to *yourself*, and to being in integrity with your values.  Being faithful to your inner Essence can shift all of your relationships.  Those that are in alignment with you show up, those that aren't either transform or fade away.

All it takes is making a decision in the present moment, and taking the next indicated steps.  Becoming aware of your spending habits, making time to meditate, to spend enjoyable time with yourself, all you need to do is the first baby step, and go from there. 

Foundation leads to freedom.  What can you do (shift, let go of, take action on) today to get there?

The Universe Works in Mysterious Ways

(c)2009 Joan M. Newcomb

I’ve had several serendipitous occurrences that verifies to me I’m on the right track.  When you’re aligned with Spirit, or connected to your Expanded Self, It gives you ‘cookies’ or validations.

The first was a mixup of dates.  At the end of October, I booked a mini-break out of town with my husband but forgot to write the exact dates down.  I thought it was the second weekend of December.  I scheduled a radio appearance for Dec. 5th, and said ‘yes’ to East West Bookshop to do readings there on Saturday the 12th.  Then I realised that’s when I thought  I’d be out of town, so I called East West before their Dec-Feb. calendar went to press and cancelled the 12th.  Afterwards I found the condo confirmation for mini-break and it was for the first weekend!

I decided I just had to go ahead and do the radio interview whilst on holiday, and regretted nixing East West, feeling it was too late to change things there as the catalogue was already printed.

Then I received an email from the radio host saying their show was being pre-empted for a football game and could we switch to the 12th?  Perfect.  And because of the time of the interview, I couldn’t have done East West that day as well.

Meanwhile, I’ve started an additional radio show of my own on Blog Talk Radio, just for giving free psychic readings.  My Contact Talk Radio show has had increasingly interesting (and well-known) guests, which have been filling the entire hour, leaving me no time to take listeners calls (or the guests take the calls, to promote their own services).  I’m booked until mid-February with guests, so I won’t be able to start scheduling new ones for just 30 minutes until then.

Just got an email from Mike Dooley’s publicist saying he’s no longer doing 60 minute interviews, only 30 minutes.  Perfect.  My January 12th show I can talk to him the first half, and do mini-readings for the rest of the show!!

The final occurrence isn’t fully formed yet.  When I decided to add the Blog Talk show to my schedule, I hadn’t anticipated how energetically demanding it would be.  I feel like I’m in a lot of effort which I assume is going to effect my ability to create.  However this week when I was the most tired and pressed for time, I had a full show of callers.  If effort is supposed to be a deterrent to spiritual creativity, I should have none.

I’m giving it to the end of the week to decide if I’m going to continue with it.   If it shows evidence of bringing in income, either calls for private readings, mystic mentorship coaching,  matrix energetics sessions or signups for my new on-line class then I’ll continue. At this point what I may do is instead of 5 mornings a week, do less.

On the other hand, all this effort hasn’t yet yielded the income I’m desiring.  I suspect if I do *stop*, the flow will come in differently.  That’s what I’m anticipating for January when my rates go up.  Less readings but more income.  On the other hand, that’s also when I’m starting to teach my new on-line class, so that will require an acceleration of activity (recording video lessons, emailing students, etc.).

Sometimes an acceleration of activity doesn’t deter manifestation, but enhances it.  A key to Law of Attraction is, after putting out your request to the Universe, is to let go of what you desire.  If you’re too busy to think, you’re not dwelling on what you do or don’t have.  You’ve mentally ‘gotten out of your own way’, which allows the Universe to bring it to you.

Perhaps the main lesson in all of this is to just do it, move forward, do whatever you feel motivated to do.  Drop your preconceived notions on what the outcome is going to be or should be.  And notice what shows up instead!

Perfect Timing

Perfect Timing ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb

Today I’m musing about timing. I’ve been having things come into form that have taken ten years to manifest. My first book, originally written in April of 1996, was self published in 2006. I’m getting a handle on money issues that have been around at least that long, if not longer. I’m in a relationship that’s everything I’ve always wanted – and have been consciously praying for and energetically working on manifesting since the early 80’s.

Then I think about manifestations from my earlier years – my two kids were planned pregnancies that occurred without effort, with quick births, yet they had their own timing for being born.

Why do some things happen quickly and some things take forever to show up?

When I was a teenager I lost 50 pounds, simply by charting what I ate, limiting calories, and walking to school and back every day (about 5 or 6 miles). It took most of a year to do this, and was tremendously transformative and empowering.

Buoyed by this experience, I set my sights on a relationship, which took about five months to get the guy to go out with me. It was initially wonderful but then heart breaking.

As I look back over my different life experiences, some consciously manifested, some unconsciously attracted, and there has been a sense of what I used to call Divine Timing in all of it.

“The Universe gives you what you can handle” is one way I used to look at it. You attract what you’re ready for, is another way. I’ve resisted what I thought the Universe was giving me; at times I'd say "it thinks I’m too friggin’ capable".

But now I have a different perspective as Consciousness,  reframing my experience of timing, and also of manifestation.

It's not the Universe giving me anything, it's me as Consciousness creating everything I experience in the physical.

Someone once mentioned that reincarnation didn’t make any sense to them because everything was happening at once. I got the instant understanding that there is no time or space as Consciousness, so from the perspective of Consciousness, all past and future lives are happening ‘at the same time’ this one is. There is no linear link from past to future, it’s not like going up grades in school. And if you can grasp that in Consciousness there is no individuality, then there’s really no one spark of light going through a series of experiences (like grades in school). As aspects of Consciousness we just jump into the pool of life, splash about, and then jump out into the All-That-Is.

As I reconcile it taking me so long to get to where I am at, I realize that it really took no time at all. Each lifetime is just a blink of an eye. And what I’ve accomplished in this one is just a glimmer of the great Spark of all of creation.

As I relax into a perspective of creating as Consciousness, it really doesn’t matter how much or how little I have achieved. It’s all about Creation. It’s all about playfully creating in the physical. I either manifest something, or I don’t. It either happens now, or later, or not. I create this, or I create something else. And I can choose to create happy thoughts, happy experiences, or challenging ones.

When I shift to navigating life as Consciousness, what shows up is bigger than my little mind can imagine.

And when you add the awareness of Parallel Universes into the mix, you realize that you as Consciousness are simultaneously experiencing other possibilities within this storyline. There's a parallel self that has experienced success earlier in life, there's a parallel self that is already experiencing whatever I want to create right now.

Whatever you want to create, it already exists, you just need to step into the Universe where you already have it.

It becomes a much more fun way to experience life. And I can welcome all these wonderful things coming into my life and enjoy my time with them Now. Which is really the only time there is.

Musings on Manifestation

(c) 2009 Joan M. Newcomb

Last Saturday I did readings at East West Books. I was very excited when I arrived, even though I only had one person signed up. I immediately gave myself a project (I made a calendar showing all the readers in all their time slots for the remainder of March) and then thought of a great new workshop to submit to East West for their next series of events. I was aware that I really wanted to talk to everyone in the store, but that my enthusiasm was a bit 'out there' so I went back into the reading room and tried to meditate.

I had the inspiration to take all this energy, which was spurting out all over the place, and run it through my solar plexus. I remember this flash of concern when I did it, like taking my own energy and running it through my inner space would make it disappear. Instead, what happened was I calmed down and shortly afterwards people started signing up for readings and I was busy non-stop for the rest of the day.

The next Wednesday I wasn't quite so brimming with excitement, but I had the intuitive hunch to show up early and to be prepared not to take a break. Only 3 people were signed up but the moment I started reading additional folks signed up and I went right up until my stopping time.

I didn't do any special energy work, I didn't send out pink balloons or create affirmations or use any unique manifestation techniques. I just shifted my focus and things started happening.

A typical but ineffective way of creating your reality is to put your focus onto what you want to happen. You create an affirmation or a vision board, and you keep it in your consciousness all the time. Except, in so doing, you are using the energy of effort, which kills spiritual creativity. And you're not letting go of your desire, so you keep holding it as a wish rather than releasing it to become reality. It's tough to let go of your dream, but that's what needs to happen if you want it to come into form.

There's an additional element to all this - in focusing on what you want to manifest, you're somewhat resisting what you already have. You're trying to change, fix or improve your present creations, which invalidates them and keeps them stuck.

Your Expanded Self is delighted with what's currently in your hologram. Even the most uncomfortable aspects of your life, your Expanded Self is going 'Yeah! Bring it on"! Because as Spirit you have no ethics, and everything is your creation, so the most challenging dilemma is just evidence of how creative you are. You, the You that is more than you, *loves* difficulties and discomfort.

That's not exactly accurate. You, the You that is more than you, just loves playing the Human Game and is enjoying every aspect of it. You, the you that you usually identify with, has preferences and resists when things aren't going your way. Resistance and discomfort are an indication that you're out of alignment with the Essence of who you are, your Expanded Self.

When you relax and trust that all is very, very well, that everything is unfolding exactly as it should, suddenly things start to feel a lot better and "good" things start happening. Abraham-Hicks calls is 'turning down stream', others call it 'going with the flow', I like to think of it as your little will aligning with your Higher Will.

And a simple way to do that is to bring your focus back to yourself, your present moment, bring your energy within your own space. Drop all those people and projects you're trying to help make better. Those people have their Expanded Selves, too. Your projects (if they're yours) are already, on some level, complete. Releasing them helps them to unfold as they should, too.

I invite you to take a moment now to just imagine releasing everyone else to their own reality. Bring your energy back from all those other places into your own space. Take a deep breath and imagine anything not yours dropping out of your space into the center of the earth, where it can get recycled. Notice how that feels.

Try *not* affirming or intending this week, and see what shows up!

Divine Interventions

©2008 Joan M. Newcomb

Cameron Diaz was once asked about the ending of a relationship she'd had and she said, "I don't have breakups; I have Divine Interventions"!

Much of my life since age 14 has been self-directed, and yet at times certain things will occur that totally send me on a different path. Psychiatrists deciding at age 16 I should not live at home, a boyfriend getting hit by a car at age 19, a schedule change at work leading to total burnout at 35, discovery of a secondary addiction in a relationship at 38... Things outside of my control, or contributing to a 'final straw', and shortly afterward my world is transformed.

I think about how this relates to Free Will vs. Divine Will. Free Will gives us each the ability to create our reality and to use Law of Attraction to manifest what we desire. However, I notice that my manifestations are effortless when my personal Will is aligned with the higher Will. When I'm attuned with the Infinite, then I'm in agreement with this higher Will; I want what It wants for me. When I'm trying to manipulate or control my surroundings, make things better because they currently suck, it's more like I'm spinning my wheels in the mud than really moving forward on my path.

Which makes me conclude that really it's my Expanded Self, my inner Divinity, that's really running the show.

I do get the picture It's looking over us like an adult watching toddlers in the playground. They can fall and get bruises, they can get stuck on the slide or be sad there's no seats left on the swings, but It won't intervene unless it's time to go do something else.

What would it be like to just relax in the knowledge that one's Expanded Self is really overseeing everything, bringing to us exactly what we need in the moment? We could be free to play in this playground 'Earth' going on whatever ride we want to, knowing that when it's time to do something else, our Expanded Self will redirect us.

Instead of having to struggle to pay the mortgage or resolve your relationship with your mother, what if you just did what you felt motivated to do in the moment? And trust that if you to do something else, you'd be doing it. Big, invisible hands would pick you up and put you in another part of the playground. The phone would ring and your mother would be morphed into someone really nice to talk to!

I see this world as a virtual reality game for an Infinite Consciousness wanting the experience of being the opposite of what it is. Each of us *is* that Consciousness, and whatever we're doing or being or feeling is providing great enjoyment and pleasure for our Expanded Self. We can't make mistakes or do something wrong, because it's all part of the game.

When you relax into that awareness, your reality completely changes. Interesting synchronicities occur as validation by your Expanded Self you're on the right track. At first there may be some (or a lot of) discomfort as the old limitations and restrictions fall away, but pretty soon you're in alignment/agreement with Consciousness and it becomes a delicious ride!

So, try this out for the next week. Maybe take baby steps - don't quit your job or stop paying your bills unless you're really strongly motivated to! But perhaps take a day this weekend or moments of time over the next few days and approach your life playfully, trusting your Expanded Self to do the driving. See what happens - you may find yourself having a lot of fun!
