Does Cosmic Ordering Work?

Obviously we firmly believe that it does and experience this every day in our lives. Yet, we know it is a contentious subject and not everyone believes it can or does work for them.  These very beliefs are in fact the crux of the issue, for what you believe has a huge hand in creating your experience of reality.

We all very much manifest and create our realities – it is like they are virtual realities, not hard wired destiny or set in stone. If you look at the word belief… be[LIE]f you see inside every belief is a lie – there are no absolute truths.

So does Cosmic Ordering work? Journalist AnneMarie Flannagan attended our Cosmic Ordering workshop earlier this year and was able to manifest more work, an unexpected holiday, feeling calmer and improved relationships. You can read about her experinces in the August issues of Soul & Spirit magazine, out now in newsagents.

Do you feel like life happens to you?

So many of us feel like life happens to us and we have little choice and control.

This is only as true as you believe it to be. It is our beliefs that create our reality. There are few absolute truths. It has been said that the only two certainties in life are death and taxes. I know quite a few who seem to escape the latter!

Just look at the word belief. Look closely – be[LIE]f.

Every belief we have is not absolute. It is just our perception. It contains a lie; because every belief can be changed.

Four years ago I discovered myself. I found out that I had a great set of values, lots of skills, the potential to contribute and play much more full out in life… and yet I had a crappy set of beliefs that were limiting my experience of life and my potential for achievement and fulfilment. My beliefs even prevented me from enjoying what was, in the moment, the here and now, so my potential for enjoyment and fulfilment was postponed – postponed to a point in the future that simply was not going to exist with those crappy beliefs.

I have learned how to change all of this now. Our ‘Feel the Fear And Do It Anyway®’ workshop is licensed and approved by Susan Jeffers PhD, author of the international best selling book of the same name. This workshop has changed hundreds of lives, the book hundreds of thousands. It is the most influential workshop that I know of and have experienced – so many of our clients say the very same thing.

How Much Scepticism is Too Much Scepticism?

I recently ran into someone (we will call him Ken) who has been steadily and successfully making changes to his life. Ken reminded me of myself… up until 4 years ago – he was actively sceptical about many things, especially from the world of personal development. In fact Ken spent a lot of time and energy on being sceptical…. I have to say that I am too (still, sometimes)… and I recognise that this can be a double-edged sword… I’ll explain why:

I like to research and seek evidence for much of what people may want me to believe and I certainly don’t just take it at face value. In the past, my research and evaluation would be very much based on gathering information – the line between this and procrastination sometimes becomes very blurred. Now, I still may chose to do some research – and I don’t rely on it. Instead I use my intuition – I can quickly and confidently make reliable decisions.

Having spent a lot of time around the personal development market and a considerable amount of money on things like NLP training, mastery of life courses, coaching etc, I am not a great believer in the ‘magic bullets’ claimed by many. I’ve seen that the majority of people don’t manage to change much or meet their objectives. Change, or transformation as I call it, can be achieved quickly and dramatically. However, it does take a radical change in beliefs, an alignment to your values, plus a new sense of purpose. It also requires a holistic approach… changes to many/most aspects of your life – particularly the energy you are in.

I have personally gained an immense amount from the last 4-5 years of personal development, albeit, I’ve needed to cut through a lot of ‘hype’ – I’ve learned to be discerning and holistic. I have also made an internal journey from being ‘locked’ into my logical (and sceptical) left brain, to also being able to use more of my right brain (creative, intuitive, fearless, trusting but not gullible). True power comes from optimal use of both these aspects of your self.

I realise (now), from personal experience, that too much scepticism holds you back. It creates limiting beliefs that your ego thrives on. This is how I was until the age of 38, when I decided enough was enough and had my first few glimpses of new ways of ‘being’. I know for my own part (and many others that I have worked with) that putting the ego back in its proper place is a massive step forward to breaking out of the ‘small box’ that our comfort zone imprisons us (all) in.

The great danger with scepticism is that – it is our beliefs that shape our destiny and achievements in life. Scepticism shapes our beliefs and feeds our ego which wants to keep us ‘safe’ and therefore stops us from expanding our horizons and achievements.

My experience and new ways of ‘being’ have a major impact on my levels fulfilment and success in life. This in turn has helped me to develop new empowering beliefs. For me, it has been a steady process of change. I know realise that being flexible enough to become discerning rather than sceptical and to affirm positive, empowering beliefs up front, without waiting for hindsight – can truly accelerate the process of empowerment, transformation and enlightenment.
