Clearing Old Limiting Beliefs

Hi Everyone,
I was at the beautiful resort/spa call Ojo Caliente this weekend. As I was baking in the warm fall sun under the spectacular New Mexico sky - see picture below, (and no, that color was not photoshopped!), I started feeling into a limiting belief I have around the flow of money. My flow is all outflow instead of inflow! I have been to some wonderful workshops in consciousness, called Avatar, and it teaches you how to find the core belief and then clear it out of your consciousness so it doesn't affect you negatively anymore. WOW, so powerful!

What I found lurking around in there was a belief about keeping myself "normal" and small, so I don't stick out of the crowd, so I wont be judged or "condemned" by family, friends or society. Therefore, I'll keep myself in the "normal" income range (regarding money) and don't create wealth, because, if you're wealthy, well, you might be judged as being greedy, selfish, not deserving of all that, and whatever else we as a society have around the judgement of wealth.

I know, it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense and as I'm typing this, I'm trying to figure out a better way of explaining it. Sometimes our core beliefs that formed when we were young and in some sort of painful situation, more than not, are not very rational. But, they are still there in feeling and affect every aspect of our life.

So, I cleared it out of my consciousness knowing that it is not serving me anymore! Wow, I felt so wonderful! Now, I can create from this clear space, without the filter of that limiting belief!

I share this with you because the Transcendent Leadership process is about co-creating in the consciousness that has no limits and is not in scarcity but in abundance for everyone. I believe we need to continually clear out all those lurking limiting beliefs within ourselves to be able to be fully present when we "do leadership".

Ideas to Action

Hello!
I've been involved in an exciting initiative with the TEDxABQ community about taking the incredible "ideas worth spreading" and moving them into action worth taking! I recently spoke at the Albuquerque Tech Fiesta on this subject and thought I would post my presentation.

The framework came from the very good book Making Ideas Happen by Scott Belsky. Scott says in the opening paragraph:
"Ideas don't' happen because they are great - or by accident. The misconception that great ideas inevitably lead to success has prevailed for to long." He talks about that anyone can move ideas to action, "You just need to modify your organizational habits, engage a broader community and develop your leadership capability."

Check it out, see what you think!

Personal Responsibility, Honesty and Transcendent Leadership

I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately and have come up with one of my, what I believe to be, a fundamental soul lesson this time round....

How much personal responsibility is to much? In other words, how much "stuff" do you own and take on, and how much "stuff" is the other persons? I struggle with this in my relationships every day, both personal and work. To break free from "victim consciousness" you need to truly look within yourself to see how you are creating the situation. In other words, instead of saying, well, that's your problem, I ask myself, well, why am I creating this, and what is the belief that's creating it? You have to become truly honest with yourself. Harry Palmer, author of Living Deliberately, talks about "treating others dishonestly invariably results in a lowering of respect for them. Friends we have discarded, we have first deceived. The same applies to the respect we have for ourselves and our lost selves. Dishonesty is at the root of asserted self-importance."
He goes on to state "being honest is really a question of courage - courage enough to face what we fear." So what do I fear? Maybe being vulnerable, because if I am, my belief is that "they" will hurt me - victim consciousness. The truth is, nothing can hurt me unless I allow it. The trap is that I have to assume ownership for not only my own fear and dishonesty, but the worlds as well. "We are all dishonest as long as we do not compassionately work to correct the collective dishonesty of the world... becoming more honest with ourselves means introducing more honesty into the collective consciousness of the world".

I believe that this will shift  and increase integrity, compassion and appreciation as well. This is the work of Transcendent Leaders and Transcendent Leadership.
