Trusting The Process in Egypt Pt. 2

OK, so I was off by a few days. (See post pt. 1 prior to this post) It took a bit more than a week to oust Mubarak. But even so, it was an amazing demonstration of the power of ONENESS. The demonstrators were peaceful, patient, focused, determined and surprisingly well organized even though there was no apparent leader. They were acting as one. It was something to behold.

The future remains very uncertain of course, and it may well turn out to be far from perfect. No doubt those who led the French Revolution were just as euphoric for the first few days after the guillotine stopped doing its grizzly work. But France immediately descended into chaos and turmoil which lasted almost a century until Napoleon — another dictator — took over. Egypt remains a military dictatorship and still represents the old ways so it’s hard to be optimistic about what might come next.

That said, I am still of a mind to see this as part of the global ‘breaking down’ process that will precede the ‘break-through’ into the new consciousness we expect to occur around 2012. Perhaps this is how it will happen. Not a single transformation where we make an immediate shift on a certain date, but a series of push/pull events such as we are witnessing now in Egypt and all through the Middle East. People coming together as one to break down all the old physical, mental and spiritual structures that no longer serve, while others resist the change and fight to stay attached to the old paradigm.

And we in America don’t have to look beyond our own shores to see the same thing happening here. We are already in a massive breakdown phase and things are likely to get much worse yet. The only difference is that most Americans, unlike the Egyptians, have yet to wake up to that fact. When we do, perhaps that’s when we shall come together in ONENESS in order to shift our consciousness and change our world.

Trusting The Process in Egypt

As we watch the events unfolding in Egypt and marvel at how well (with the exception of some looters and more lately some violent government supporters), the apparently leaderless masses are handling themselves, it is tempting to imagine that some form of model democratic society will naturally and spontaneously emerge once the dictator, Hosni Mubarak, is gone. And gone he surely will be within a week at the most.

Dream on, though. It is a most unlikely scenario. I’ve heard a number of commentators utter the phrase, ‘be careful what you ask for,’ revealing the underlying fear that the kind of stability that Mubarak has been responsible for all of 30 years in that notoriously unstable part of the world will evaporate as soon as he is out of the door. Who and what will replace him? How will it effect the interests of the U.S. and Israel in particular? How will it effect our oil supply and movement of the same through the Suez canal? From a geo-political perspective, the future looks rather bleak to say the least.

But at the street level, what we are witnessing is an example of the transformation of consciousness where the desire for freedom has trumped fear and all that was previously repressed has come bursting to the surface. But transformation, no matter whether it be at the personal or collective level is always a matter of diving into the unknown and being willing to trust the process. That’s the kind of courage I see the Egyptians displaying as they demonstrate in the streets with only one insistent demand: that we break with the past. To that degree they are providing a model for the rest of us. They are doing what they are led to do without regard for what comes next. I saw one man say, "I have just written my will. If I die, so what!"

To utter the phrase, ‘be careful what you ask for,’ is to come from fear. To embrace transformation, trusting the process without regard to the outcome is to be attuned to the love vibration of Spirit. Thank you demonstrators for showing us the way. Let us release our own fears and be willing to trust the process in the same way. When we do that, the best outcome always emerges.

NEW Radical Empowerment Membership Site

Many people have asked for some kind of ongoing program that will help them anchor Radical Forgiveness and Radical Manifestation deep in their consciousness so they might live and practice both in their daily lives. With 2012 just around the corner, they want to raise their consciousness to a level where they can remain peaceful and powerful, no matter what is happening, and be more helpful to others if and when things get tough. This program, which features a lot of multi-media resources and live monthly online meetings and events, will enable you to begin living more consciously and in alignment with the metaphysical paradigm that underpins both Radical Forgiveness and Radical Manifestation. It is also the paradigm that we will be beginning to live from, once the shift in consciousness that hopefully will begin in 2012 has begun. Being a member of this community will afford members a high level of support and sense of belonging to something bigger. The work is based on the regular use of the resources in the Radical Empowerment kit, and is supported by a series of monthly tele-seminars, webinars, group meditations etc. This membership site is still under construction, but we will let you know when we are ready to take subscriptions. Stay tuned.....

Miracles Workshop Price Changes for 2011 (US Only)

We have scheduled four Miracles Workshops in the U.S. for 2011. They will occur on the first weekend of each of the following months: March, April, May and November. However, in response to changing economic conditions we have made some major adjustments in our pricing and organization that may be of great interest to you if you were thinking you would like to do one this year with me, but were worried that you could not really afford it. Well, at full price the Miracles Workshop used to be $697. We reduced it last year to $597.00 but with $242.50 added for room and board, it was still a lot for people to pay in this economic climate, even with a payment plan. Last year, for the first time ever we had to cancel one workshop for lack of participants.

So this year I am willing to take off another $150.00 and make the workshop $447 in 2011. (I can't do anything about the cost of accommodation). However, because we have to take a chance on booking the retreat center and guaranteeing a certain number of beds, I am willing to sell the workshop at just $227.00 if booked and paid for a full six weeks prior to the date of the workshop. Only eight places out of the 15 available will be offered at this low price. Once those eight places are taken, the price will revert to $447.00 no matter how far in advance the booking is made. So you will need to book early in order to save $220.00.

That way, we will know if we have enough participants to go ahead and sign a contract with the center six weeks out. If the workshop does not make and we have to cancel, you will receive a full refund. However, if you cancel the booking you made at the $227 price, no refund will be made. (Normal refund policy applies to those who book less than six weeks ahead at the $447.00 price).

NOTE: No one should book a flight until we have confirmed by e-mail, no later than two weeks before the workshop, that the workshop will definitely run. I regret having to do this but we are having to revise our business model in response to changing conditions.
