			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FWhGn9oxcFI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Birth is the first breath of our journey home.  We are intended to experience the fullest extent of life. That intent comes from God who experiences life through us. Our power comes from God and we create our lives using that power. Without God we would not be and without us nothing would exist in the physical plane.</p>
<p>Mom was part of the physical energy that  gave birth to four children after become the wife of her husband and being married to him now for nearly 63 years.  Throughout her life she remained a loyal sister. Her life&#8217;s purpose was clear to her and she lived it. She was first and foremost a mom and wife and she lived her life with God.</p>
<p>Thinking about the more recent handful of years when her body began to weaken, there was no time she evidenced any fear of her body dying.  So she lived with gusto. Everything she did was to help her family and others. No matter how little we had, she always found something to give.</p>
<p>How wonderful it is to know that you have lived your life to its fullest and peacefully decided it is time to go home to God. The morning before her transition, she insisted to have her hair done. That is something that had not been of interest to her for quite some time. She wanted to look her best.</p>
<p>My mom  has given up her body to rejoin our Spiritual source. She knows we are not our body and we are not our mind. Those of us who grew up with her have many experiences where we could say &#8220;well God cannot possibly be at the source of what she is doing or saying!&#8221; But you see that is human judgement. God just laughs at the whole idea of of judgement. Humans created that.</p>
<p>God is unconditional love and God is always part of every part of us. So we don&#8217;t return to God we simply release the physical form that creates the physical experiences.</p>
<p>We on earth have an opportunity to grow in our understanding of death from this experience with her. We have the opportunity to be joyful or not.  Can we be joyful and still experience the loss of this woman&#8230;the passing of all the experiences with her wisdom. Yes we can be joyful know she is in bliss while we have tears streaming down our face as we are saddened by what once was.</p>
<p>Our job is to be unconditional love and send that message energetically to all.  Tough assignment for us humans. My mom demonstrated this all the time.  If you paused to examine what was going on with her even at her most passionate moments of anger,  you would find an amazing loving heart with only the best of intentions.</p>
<p>When she had nothing she baked for others. When she was tired and weary she sang for herself for us whether we wanted to hear it or not and she sang in the choir. After a full week of hard work she always had the energy to go dancing with my dad or go on a trip to the casinos with a very defined limit as to how much she was prepared to invest in that fun. Most of the time she came back with more than she took.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><a href="http://manifestmastermindblog.com/2011/09/my-mom-was-mean-by-david-pohlit/">Click Here</a> for an amazing presentation by my brother David Pohlit that shocked all at the funeral</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>My mom could sing &#8220;praise God&#8221; in the morning and be more than direct with her words for people who she felt were crossing her, her family or the community.</p>
<p>With all that she did, with all that she said and didn&#8217;t say she, demonstrated life with God.</p>
<p>A lot of who I am is because of her love, guidance, example and work to help me. She was an anchor for all of us when my father and I were in a very serious car accident when I was very young. There was no health insurance and little money. Family and community came together and that system worked. Our country would be well served to return to those principles of taking care of each other.</p>
<p>I am blessed she is my mother.  I miss her physical vitality and I rejoice where she is now.</p>
<p>On October 20, 2011 Helen Pohlit would have celebrated her 63 wedding anniversary.  She lived 84 years and the world is a better place because of her.</p>
<p>As I think about my life with my mom and especially some very economic challenging times when I was growing up, I realized that somehow she knew that if lemonaide was going to be created out of lemons, someone was going to have to step up be responsible and squeeze the lemons.  Mom was a woman of action and love. Our world would be less arduous to navigate with most of us taking more responsibility for the outcome of our lives  and living each day taking focused action with a posture of unconditional love for others.  I love her especially for all the   lessons.</p>
<p>Mom I am not quite ready but there will  be a day when we will be dancing again. Meantime watch over us and help us remember</p>
<p>When you are no longer afraid to die then you are not afraid of anything and you can truly live.</p>
<p>Mom &#8211; this is not goodbye &#8230;oh no not at all. You are still very much with us and always will be.</p>
<p>I Love You Mom!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am elated with the knowing of the God power in me and in all. I am elated knowing that for anything I have created in my world that is not what I prefer, I am able to withdraw the power from that through the Law of Forgiveness. I am elated that I can create my dreams by  releasing forever  what  is now done  and focusing on the dreams and desires I am creating now.</p>
<p>Knowing this and knowing there are no limits, knowing  it is all up to me,  is how  my awareness has expanded. For that knowing I am eternally thankful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is resistance?  Generally everyone knows. What we may not think about is that resistance is a personal experience. Everyone is unique with our own definition of purpose, dreams and desires.  Consequently our feelings of  resistance are different. However with a few examples there is basis for agreement on the idea of resistance.</p>
<p>Resistance includes events, situations, people or experiences that are opposite of  what we prefer. The following are a few examples:</p>
<p>A disagreement with a partner, child, co-worker.</p>
<p>You plan your day and an event totally turns it around. An accident, something breaks in your home,  technology you rely on is disrupted, the car won&#8217;t start&#8230;..</p>
<p>Money flow is opposite of your intention.</p>
<p>You feel forced into going someplace or doing something you don&#8217;t want to do.</p>
<p>You plan on feeling great for an event and you get sick.</p>
<p>We  instantly know there is resistance with a situation because we feel it. This feeling is intended an opportunity for us to use our personal power for deliberate creation.  The feeling we experience is an opportunity for expansion when we are able to view all situations with appreciation.</p>
<p>One of the first prosperity principles I became aware of is gratitude.  In every resource book I have ever read or researched, gratitude receives a lot of attention. The second Manifest Mastermind Guidance process that all members receive is devoted to gratitude.</p>
<p>In my experience, those who are aware of the importance of being in gratitude or appreciation, often look outside of themselves. For example, I am grateful for the day, food, the people I connect with, conveniences I have a tendency to take for granted. Those are great ways to become in alignment with gratitude.  The big opportunity is appreciation of self.  Abraham through Ester Hicks says the lack of appreciation of self holds most people outside their intended state of being able to Deliberately Create what they want more than any other thoughts put together.  Repeat: more than any other thoughts put together.</p>
<p>How does this guidance relate to resistance?  Resistance is a critical part of the expansion process we experience. Nothing stays the same ever and our opportunity is to understand and embrace the changes by knowing they represent expansion. How we process change determines whether we are in alignment with our expanded self or the energy of Source, God energy or not.</p>
<p>When we experience the feelings associated with an resistance situation we have a choice. Our choice is to fuel those feelings or say, I am now moving to a place of feeling better than that. We move to a place of feeling better by acknowledging the resisting event, seeing what we are intended to learn from it and moving on to creating something that feels better. We look at ourselves and appreciate our ability to do that. We make the decisions that result in us feeling good about what we do and who we are regardless of what anyone else does, says or thinks about it.  Love yourself first.</p>
<p>If you are driving down the highway and your car stops because you ran out of gas, you feel the resistance of that event. As you take action to get more gas for your car which now takes a considerably longer period of time than if you had stopped at a fueling station when the gas guage indicated you were getting low, you make a commitment to pay attention in the future as you don&#8217;t want that experience again.  You appreciate yourself for the lesson. You don&#8217;t fuel the feelings from the experience because when you talk about it, write about it or continue to think about it you are not in the place of feeling good and when you are not in the place of feeling good you are not creating what is possible for you.</p>
<p>So now you know situations that result in feeling not good are intended opportunities for expansion. You also know it is you who are responsible for moving toward what you intend to create or stay in a place of anger, resentment, blaming everyone and their dog for your state or not.  When you appreciate the expansion process that included situations that result in feelings of resistance, then you know you are able to move to a better feeling place and continue deliberately creating what you want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gus Reigenkugel is a new Facebook friend and a Taoist. I became more familiar with the the beliefs of Taoists when I studied Wayne Dyers book &#8220;Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life&#8221; Gus sent me this video at the perfect time.</p>
<p>This video came into my awareness this morning.  A few hours later my entire state was focused on being grateful for emergency teams helping some people who I know very well and my daughter knows know even better, her mom and her grandparents. This was a very serious situation with specially trained people having to cut away the vehicle to carefully get to my daughter&#8217;s mom and they did and life flighted her to to the hospital. My daughters grandparents were taken to another hospital. Let&#8217;s just say it was not an afternoon I would want to repeat anytime soon especially feeling the fear in my daughter. At this time, nobody is in critical condition.</p>
<p>Throughout this I kept asking God for guidance in my communications with my daughter. When someone is taken by helicopter from an accident scene and you have know idea if they are still on the physical plane, it tests all of your physical faculties. I am grateful, very grateful for all who helped today and who help every day in situations I am not aware of.</p>
<p>Now as I practiced allowing the situation to be as intended and focused on gratitude for all who were helping, I assure you my heart rate was not in at meditative rate, I assure you I felt deeply the feeling my daughter was expressing for her mom. I felt deeply the emotions the brothers and sisters of her mom, the extended family of her grandparents were feeling. They were all gathered today near Pittsburgh, Pa.  for a family reunion and to celebrate my daughter&#8217;s grandmother and her twin sister&#8217;s 80th birthday. The accident happened on the way to the celebration church service.</p>
<p>I have been going deep within to send energy of healing, peace, calmness and acceptance. Yet tonight I feel the physical effects of the emotional events of the day. Physical effects from thought since clearly my physical self was not in a wreck or attacked. The emotional impact was softened I believe by focusing on being grateful.</p>
<p>Being grateful most of the time involves appreciating the everyday experiences. When we do we raise our vibrational energy state and we are in alignment with God.  That is our opportunity no matter what we experience on the physical plane.  When we are in alignment with our pure potentiality, we achieve all of our abundant dreams. Abundance is used in the Universal context of abundant peace, happiness, prosperity in all areas of our lives.</p>
<p>Enjoy this video. Thank you Gus.</p>

<p><strong>Attraction Amplification: 5 Tips to Take Charge of Your Attention</strong></p>
<p>It’s true.</p>
<p>You <span style="text-decoration: underline;">are</span> that powerful.<br />
<strong><br />
What you pay attention to grows.</strong></p>
<p>What you place your attention on, you give life to.</p>
<p>Attention is comprised of your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitude. Attention can also include your purpose, your vision, your soul’s desires. <em>Where ever you reside most will be reflected in your life.</em></p>
<p><strong>Your dominate attention creates your reality.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Your attention is a director to the universe</strong>; it’s like you are saying to life, “here is where I choose to live”. The universe takes your instruction, and reflects it back to you as directed.</p>
<p>Whatever you spend your time thinking about, talking about, dreaming about, planning about, worrying about, will inevitability be reflected back to you in your experience*. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Attention is an attraction amplifier</span> that draws to you that which you are focused on.</p>
<p>Knowing this, doesn’t it make sense to take the time to ensure that your attention is going toward <strong>what you want to grow?</strong>Seriously, if you don’t do it, who will? Your old habits, programming, media…. you want your reality to be created by that?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>5 Tips to Take Charge of Your Attention</strong></span> &amp; BE the powerful creator you are&gt;&gt;&gt;</p>
<p><strong>1) Decide where you want to put your attention</strong>. Identify the intentions, qualities, and feelings you want to experience.</p>
<p><strong>2) Write out what you want and put it somewhere you re-visit frequently.</strong> Read it out loud once and a while. Use language that reflects your wants as if they are already happening. Be proactive and enthusiastic in your descriptions.</p>
<p><strong>3) Surround yourself with uplifting and affirming resources</strong>. People, books, quotes, music… Choose to reinforce your focus through daily practices that align you with what you want.</p>
<p><strong>4) Be gentle with yourself when you get off track.</strong> When you notice you are letting your attention astray, be compassionate with yourself and gently place your attention back where you want it.</p>
<p><strong>5) Give thanks</strong>. Gratitude is a huge magnifier and is one of the greatest tools for flourishing.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
