		<description>[...] It’s not a question of your makeup; you have what it takes to succeed. But what if you are not giving it your all?  You might think you are, but if you’re holding back on feeling your feelings fully, then you’re operating at a fraction of your available personal power.  Decide to hold back no more - direct all of your personal power for life and business success.

		<description>Everything and everyone - each thing I see and experience, and each person I meet, whether pretty or not, is a reflection to some degree of me.  When I honor each thing, and each encounter, I honor myself.

Tom, I honor you. Good work.  Namaste</description>

		<description>Laurie that&#039;s an outstanding question. It works primarily because of my faith that it does work. From your previous comments I know you are a person of faith and you understand that somethings we simply believe because we know in our gut.

That said you asked how using this four realm process is different from simply doing things that will raise my probability of success. Because doing things is only one realm of power. Conscious creation gives us powerful enhancements to physical action. Let&#039;s say we need to drum up some business and see no better way than picking up the phone and calling prospects cold.

The act of calling them is the physical realm. If we imagine prospects graciously receiving our call and enjoying the buying process then we have engaged the emotional and mental realms. We can further feel better about the call by imagining them truly benefiting from our products or services and by simply stating that out loud. This will shift the energy to them and when we forget about ourselves the results are often better. Finally if we are working in alignment with our talents and desires then most likely we are doing the work we came here to do. Can you see how in this scenario both our enjoyment of the calling and the results from it would be considerably enhanced?
It&#039;s different because than just doing because we have in full awareness lined up everything for the maximum probability of success. Without that awareness we definitely would not take the same energy to the calls. 

Bamboo that is very well said. Being a conscious responder is ideal of course. Otherwise we are simply reacting.</description>

		<description>&quot;I don’t know which role would find life to be a bigger adventure, the random responder or the conscious creator. Bottom line is I take no pleasure in trying to win folks over to my way of thinking. That’s too much like religion.&quot;

I would argue, that even those who believe in LOA - many of them will probably not agree on all facets of it! People may deviate on certain points of it.

In any respect, regardless... We are all *always* conscious creators. *Even* if what happens to us is not what we desired. Still too - we are conscious creators. 

How?

Because we choose how to respond to what happens to us - and here in lies great power. In life, there is always one of two responses to challenge... &quot;I can become bitter or I can become better.&quot;

That&#039;s conscious creation if I&#039;ve ever seen it!

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Laurie I won’t even attempt to debate the scientific proof of conscious creation. I don’t use the phrase LOA on purpose partially because it sounds to woo-woo for some to accept it. I only KNOW what works for me and I can tell you that by consciously lining up all four realms of my power I more often create the results I want.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

How do you think it works that by lining up the four realms of your power you create the results you want?  How is that different than doing things that increase the probablity of getting the result you want?  :O)</description>

		<description>Al that&#039;s right, when folks don&#039;t believe in expanded possibilities the alternative can really keep them stuck in victim mode.

Vered please feel free to speak your mind and disagree frequently. I&#039;m all about freedom and the freedom to express is one of my favorites. Once I began coaching I got to observe all kinds of interesting belief systems. Here&#039;s the funny thing ANYTHING works if you really believe it does. You&#039;ve really made me think about random being freeing. I don&#039;t know which role would find life to be a bigger adventure, the random responder or the conscious creator. Bottom line is I take no pleasure in trying to win folks over to my way of thinking. That&#039;s too much like religion.

Hey Bamboo, yes practice works in everything. Frequency of practice is one of my personal breakthrough processes. Some erroneously think that we conjure up everything with our minds alone. That doesn&#039;t work for me but solidifying through re-visiting does.</description>

		<description>&quot;There is always a small step you can take that will get you closer to what you want.&quot;

This is so true. In the simple realm of self mastery this is true. If I want to accomplish something - the more I visit that something during the day, the more I instill inside me that desire. Then, the more likely I am to act on it in the moment of truth.

Knowing what we want, as a matter of fact, is often not enough. But, when we work really hard to instill deeply what we want, it goes from a passing thought to a part of who we are.

When it becomes who we are, we are truly able to execute.

		<description>I don&#039;t believe in the LOA.  I think we attract things into our lives by our attitudes and actions but it&#039;s not a &quot;force&quot; out there waiting to be maipulated.  The saying Misery loves company comes to mind.  If you enjoy wallowing in your misery, you&#039;re going to attract others that think that sound like great fun.  I have a good deal of control what I allow into and out of my life just by my actions.  But to believe I can control things like LOA suggests wouldn&#039;t make it through any scienctific investigation.</description>

		<description>I do believe that a positive attitude can make our life better. It&#039;s helpful to believe in ourselves. Others do react better to a positive energy than they do to negativity. 

BUT I think I&#039;m probably your most skeptical/ cynical reader. 

A dear friend of mine used to quote his grandpa as saying &quot;it&#039;s all random nonsense&quot;. I mostly agree. I tend to believe that life IS mostly random and that we have very little control over things. It&#039;s not necessarily a bad thing - in fact it is freeing. 

I hope it&#039;s OK to express an opinion that is quite different than yours and your readers&#039;. I share it often with Evelyn and she doesn&#039;t seem to mind at all... I hope you feel the same.
