After The Secret

RISMEDIA, Oct. 1, 2008-As congress considers various bailout proposals for the financial system, there is a little known ‘bailout’ for home owners that has already been enacted into law, according to Gibran Nicholas, Chairman of the CMPS Institute, an organization that certifies mortgage bankers and brokers.

After watching thousands of people make and manifest their intentions over the years, we began to notice a common thread. We saw that those who started out their day by setting their intentions had an entirely different experience than those who didn't. Their life had a direction to it. Things came easier for them. They struggled less and had more moments of pure joy because that's how you feel when your desires are being fulfilled. "So far, your journey has shown you that all things are... Read Full Story

My morning practice of stating my intentions has become one of the best parts of my day. I don't just recite them quickly and move on to other things. I do my intentions, well...intentionally. It is a sacred time when I focus my attention in my heart and feel the higher aspect of my Self that resides there. I feel the love in my heart and relax into it, letting go of all concerns or things I need to do. I begin with thanks, expressing appreciation for the guidance and support I receive. I am...

You can have anything and everything you could possibly dream of - even a whole new world to live in. Our desires help us set our course in life. The second reference point with which we started The Intenders was that our desires are in us to be fulfilled. Our guidance told us early on that we came into this lifetime with a certain set of desires and the way for us to know that we are evolving to our highest potential is by either transcending or fulfilling our desires. If we were born in an... Read Full Story

The Universe is user friendly One of the questions we get asked the most is: "How often do I say my intentions?" As we talk to people across the country we find several schools of thought with differing approaches to this question. Some say to state your intentions twice a day - in the morning when you get up, and in the evening before going to sleep; some say to state them once and once only; while The Intenders teachings suggest that you say them once a day, preferably in the morning so...

Your thoughts to the contrary can override the good. Here in the west, we are subjected to advertising almost everywhere we go. The newspapers, magazines, billboards, and especially the TV are constantly bombarding us with products and services designed to cure all our ills. What's most interesting about this is that before we tuned into the media, we may not have had anything wrong with us. In fact, we could have been fit as a fiddle. But fit as a fiddle doesn't sell products, so the... Read Full Story

These are comments made by people participating in the project . They were asked to share about what has helped them awaken to the truth of who they are. The mind is truly a beautiful thing. I love this concept and I'm glad to be in the circle. I meditate a lot and draw inspiration from things I've read and my surroundings. I think caring for others has helped me get a better sense of who I am. I have always prayed for others and tried to encourage them to do their best. Maybe that's why I... Read Full Story

One of the keys to creating our chosen experiences with our intentions is letting those intentions go. We decide what we choose to experience. We state it clearly. Then we have to let it go. When you plant a garden, you plant the seeds and water the soil, but you don't force the plants to grow. Instead, you trust that nature will do what nature does. You expect that sprouts will come up, seedlings will grow, and mature plants will yield fruit or flowers. You expect the end result from the... Read Full Story

Change is Good! In a few days, my husband and his three kids will move out of our house. We're getting divorced. It's not at all like most divorces; we don't fight or try to hurt each other. We just aren't right for each other. The gift I leave this marriage with is that I believe in myself and I know that I have the right to tell others how I want to be treated. I am no longer a doormat. I know that my feelings, my ideas, and my desires matter. I deserve to be treated with respect as an... Read Full Story
