Question:
Good Morning,

I have been offered early retirement from my job that I have worked at for the past 30 years. My dream is to offer life coaching with a special emphasis on forgiveness. My mission is to assist individuals with letting go of the past and stepping into the future. I do not want to worry about finances, etc. Do you have any suggestions. I have presented small group workshops; but would like to expand.

Blessings,

Earlyn J.

Answer:
Earlyn,

You hold in your heart a great desire for freedom and giving. You also hold fear. Fear of the future and of your finances. It is the fear that limits you, but must not be ignored.

You are quite tired from your years of work and ready for a change. Change will not at first come easily because the patterns of your life are quite set and the lack of pattern will leave you with unease. Be prepared for 6 months to a year when you feel uncomfortable and somewhat out of sorts.

Pay heed also to your fears about money because they create constraint. The fears will not disappear because they are of your heart but will lessen overtime.

Make this transition a process. If you leave your work take on some type of part-time renumerative work while you begin to develop your life coaching business. It will take you time to build that work as a "business" so the side job will lower your stress level. It may even take 3 to 5 years to build a stable enough base to let go of the side job in peace.

The side job will serve another purpose however. It will keep and get you connected with other people. Building a business requires building relationships and all of them will work together.

Finally, recognize that there is nothing to "forgive." Forgiveness holds within it judgement that someone or something is less. Nothing is less. All is perfect as a moment of learning what it means that each of us as God is perfect. If there is work to do around forgiveness do the work first to look into your own heart as to where you hold pain around judging that you are or did something that speaks to lack or less. Teach people there is nothing to forgive and the most powerful healing force is acceptance.

Best to you,

Love,

Chris

Question:
I'm now facing the choice - or so it seems - to either go on living with continuous stomach aches, or to have my gall bladder removed. I find it a very tough decision.

As I try to open myself up, I find that there are lots of feelings of guilt, of not being good enough connected to this. I feel guitly about having created this problem... about not being able to solve it through spirituality... Also I'm very frightened that the operation will not go well and/or that I will have new complains afterwards.

They say a gall stone develops if you swallow your anger. I know that I felt when young, that I needed to keep my feelings to myself, that I needed to 'swallow them', that they were not welcome. I feel bad for having swallowed them!

I'd like some guidance as to how to see this...

JC

Answer:
JC,

We are always in a moment of choice about how we will love ourselves. In this moment you feel torn by the choice because you hold on to the fear of both the consequences of not making it and the fear of making it.

You are asking your heart to heal and yet, when presented with a path of healing, you hold back in fear. All healing modalities on earth are equal ...western medicine, natropathy, acupuncture, energetic healing, and so forth. However, when you hold judgement of one versus another you limit the healing you will experience.

Look at your judgment because in truth it is not about medical science. It is about yourself. Let go of that judgment and celebrate all the choices you have made as the choices of God. Honor them with joy and know they were made of love ...even to swallow your thoughts, words and pain. As you honor them you will find greater peace and acceptance in your heart.

As for your body in this moment you must understand that when we change the physical there is a point where its correction requires a physical intervention like surgery. It is like getting a flat tire on a car. The flat needs to get fixed first and then you can look at the underlying meaning of the flat and work to make changes.

Approach the messages of your body with peace. The gall bladder is about bitterness. What are you bitter about in your life? Look with peace at that but also look at the intervention of medical science to help you heal and your experience will be peaceful and healing in all ways.

Tomorrow is a new day for your heart. Be open to heal fully and know that if your heart has answered you with the knowing that medical intervention will help you then it is a gift to be embrace in peace. The surgery will not be as difficult as your fears are creating for you that it will be. Move forward without fear. Embrace with love.

Love,

Chris

Question:
Dear Christine, I am deeply touched by the sharings and the answers you wrote on this Learning forum. My question is how did you get to know all these things, how did these insights come to you?

love, J.C.

Answer:
J.C.

Thank you for opening your heart to enjoy these sharings. Every moment of each of our lives is a moment of sharing from our own heart and you are being touched very powerfully by the words you read.

Your question about how I have come to share these insights is one I have been asked a number of times. You can gain the fullest insight by reading my first book, The Simple Truth About God. So many people asked me how I came to know of my purpose as a teacher of the simple truth that we are each God that I chose to tell my story in the introduction.

The sharings, however, occur as an experience of a fully opened heart. When our hearts are fully opened there is total flow between one's heart and all others. In any moment, when someone asks me a question or gives me permission to share of their heart, I "hear" and "feel" that which is most of their heart at that time. The sharings are pure knowing. I experience them all the time instanteously.

The sharings in the Learning Forum are the knowing of the hearts of those who asked the question. The sharings in The Four Pillars of Peace are pure knowing in a "universal" sense called up from our heart as One.

While the events of my life carried me to the moment that fully opened my heart my experience is the result of many, many choices of selflove in this lifetime. Selflove is the greatest force of healing and creation on earth. As I chose to love myself fully and live the truth that I am God my heart opened and opened in ways many on earth cannot conceive. The wonder of life as a pure act of love leads me to share all that I know with those who seek peace, love, joy, abundance and freedom.

Each of us is God my friend. Understanding what that means is the key to living it as a joyous experience and living it fully results in the experience I share on earth today with my heart as your heart fully open.

If you want to learn more about living in selflove consider taking our Expanded Living Online Workshop or calling us and working one-on-one.

With love,

Chris

Question:
I'm struggling on how to find a right partner basing on the will of God.I find it hard for me because i fear that when i am on relationships i might change my character and hence mistreat her. This is because am saved.Another thing is that i fear talking to ladies,though i am good at encouraging them.I dont't know what to do despite i have a lot of my friends but i can't approach them because of relationships and more how will i choose one from them without hurting them?Help me!

Answer:
Higson,

You ask a number of questions. Mostly, you ask how you can know love with another in peace?

You can know such love when you love yourself in peace. When you accept all that you are without judgment or self-hate, you will know peace. When you celebrate yourself and all others you will know peace.

Now, you know fear. You are afraid of yourself. You live in distrust of yourself and the actions you might take that will hurt another. You are afraid that the way you are will cause another pain.

First, you must learn tolove who you are. You must choose to trust yourself. You must know that you hold the key to a more joyfilled life but cannot use it until you realize that the work is yours.

How you act toward another reflects how you feel about yourself. If you hurt another it is a reflection of YOUR self-hate for yourself. You are responsible for changing that hate into love if you want to be in peaceful relationships with others.

Finally, as for the "will" of God. Higson, you are God. So am I. So are the "ladies" you speak of. We are each the divine. What do you "choose" for yourself? That is the "will" of God.

May you know that you have the strength within you to make choices of love toward yourself and thereby others. If you would like to learn how to change old behaviors of self-pain, please contact us at 303-674-7704.

With peace,

Chris

Question:
I KNOW THAT THIS MAY SOUND LIKE THIS IS ALL IN MY HEAD BUT THERE ARE TIMES I FEEL LIKE MY HUSBAND WOULD RATHER BE WITH SOMEONE FROM HIS PAST. I FEEL THAT HE LOVES ME BUT I AM NOT SURE IF HE TRULY LOVES ME I ALWAYS SEEM TO FEEL SECOND BEST. LIKE I AM JUST THE WOMAN HE MARRIED BUT NOT THE WOMAN HE WANTS TO BE WITH. THIS IS SUCH A INSECURE FEELING BUT I STILL FEEL IT. I TRY TO PRAY IT AWAY BUT SOMETIMES IT IS REALLY MORE THAN MY HEART CAN BEAR.

Answer:
Carter,

My apologies for the delay in responding to your question.

There is nothing that is "in your head." The truth is that you hold "yourself" second in how you love yourself and so you experience that in how love feels and maybe even in the reality of your relationships.

Every moment of our lives is about how we are loving ourselves. If you manifest a partner who treats you poorly or whose love feels weak, that is your heart showing you how you are loving yourself. It is never about the other. This is a difficult truth but one that will free you to manifest the life you would like to live.

To change this experience you must choose first to acknowledge to your heart that you recognize the message that you are loving yourself in a diminished way. Then you must change how you love yourself. Look at whether you judge yourself, diminish yourself, criticize yourself and so forth. Change everything to a total unconditional acceptance and celebration of yourself and you will begin to free your life and heart of the insecurity and pain.

To learn more about selflove consider taking our Online Expanded Living Workshop. (Go to www.ExpandedLiving.net and click on the Online Workshop link on the left side.) It is only $75 and you can take it in the privacy of your home through your computer speakers. It will teach you what selflove is and how to live in celebration of all that you are.

I share this with love.

Question:
How can I stop people from harming me spiritaully, by the means of negativity and magical spells on my aura?

Answer:
Elcio,

You are troubled by what need not trouble you. As God, creator of all in your life, nothing can ever harm you UNLESS you choose to believe that it can. When you make that choice you create the energy from which harm can occur to you. However, if you choose to know that no one can ever harm you, equally, you will live a life free of harm.

Elicio, know your power and use it to create a peacefilled experience for yourself. To clear the slate of former choices to believe you can be harmed honor those choices and let them go.

To do so say "I, Elicio as God, honor and celebrate my choice to believe that I can be harmed spiritually, by negativity or magical spells to my aura. But in this moment I choose to release those choices and learn from them at the perfect moment. From this moment forward I choose to know that nothing can ever harm me for I am safe in my love."

Once you say this Elicio be careful not to verbalize fears of harm again. Otherwise you call forth the same old beliefs and must start again.

No need to live in fear. Choose peace instead.

With love,

Chris

Question:
What is unconditional love? What is unconditonal love in a relationship? Can you love someone uncondionally?

Answer:
Dear Debbie,

Unconditional love is love without end. It has no boundaries. It has no limits. It has no hesitation. It has no doubt. There are no conditions for that love. It is not based on anything from or about another or one's self. It is the pure choice to be in acceptance of what is experienced in the moment. It is unending and unwavering in that choice.

Few on earth know unconditional love because we are not taught to love without limit, judgment, boundary, doubt or basis. We are taught to love someone or something "because" of something.

Unconditional love in a relationship is the choice to love with total acceptance. When one person loves another unconditionally it means that no matter what choices that individual makes (for instance they assault our friend) we do not love them less. Or, if we have a child, who grows up to commit a heinous crime we do not love them less. We know their perfection as God. We honor their choice to learn that way.

Now, this does not mean that choices do not have consequences. When someone we love assaults another the consequent experience may be prison. That is one way to learn. When we love unconditionally we do not love someone less for their choice to learn that way. The love is still there.

However, we may choose not be with someone who commits a heinous crime because their choices are not joyful for us. It is not a judgment or a punishment. Our choice does not mean we do not love them. It just means we will not be with them physically like we used to.

You ask whether unconditional love with another is possible. The answer is yes. However, we can only experience love with another to the same extent we love ourselves. So when you choose to love yourself unconditionally ...no judgment, no hesitation, no doubt, no limit and for no reason but you choose to love that way ... then you will experience unconditional love from others and love others unconditionally.

Thank you for your powerful questions.

With unconditional love,

Chris

Question:
Hi Chrid,

I am 55 and have been discovering self-love for more than ten years through a diversity of healing avenues. I have accepted and released patterns of car accidents, cancer, divorce and loss.

I am happy to read the messages of peace and contentment in your replies to questions. This for me is an ongoing issue. I take nutritional supplements as advised by a nutritional counselor and two daily prescribed medications at minimal dosage levels which help me manage migraines that were occuring weekly a little over a year ago. I also reduced a full-time career to 2 days per week (after a 3 month leave of absence)and have been filling in my income with a variety of part-time opportunities.

Life is good. There is time for a weekly yoga class. I am grateful for a new lease on life. I have become a grandmother and find joy in the experience. There will be more changes again as life happens and I would like to know how to be with the changes more 'gracefully'. I have felt severe anxiety at time in my life during times of change and rather than feeling threatened would rather feel something more positve in the moment. Thank you

Margaret

Answer:
Margaret,

We live in a limited experience because we see it as finite. As a result of this perspective, we hold on to what we know and fear what we do not yet know. It is as if we are afraid that change will bring us less than even what we have so far.

Once you understand that everytime we let something go in peace, we allow our heart to bring us an expanded experience of what we had before. All we are ever doing is choosing a limited experience of what is available to us so by letting go of what we have we are letting go of limitation on our life, heart, and body.

Your fear and anxiety are real. The key for you is to think back to the first time in your life you felt afraid, anxious or threatened by change. Whatever memory comes to you just visualize yourself loving that moment. Embrace and celebrate that moment and then tell your heart you are letting that moment go now in peace. As you do know that with each choice to change something from now on the anxiety, fear and threat will lessen.

Understand that I am telling you that these feelings will not go away immediately. You will need to make choices to allow change, accept that you feel anxious but tell yourself you know that this change will bring you greater joy and you are going to make the change in peace. Everytime you go through this process with a change the feelings of anxiousness will lessen. Give yourself time so that your heart can catch up with your new way of loving yourself ...make change knowing that it will bring you greater joy and peace.

I share this with love,

Chris

Question:
Dear Forum,

i am going through very very tough period of my life.My son has been taken away by his father,i haven't seen him for a period of one year.Due to this fact I changed the country of my stay.It is very painfull for me to be far from my son and do not have a bright future seen,coz his father is treatening me,that i will not see my child anymore in my life.

I am trying to study the self-improvement books,trying to focus,that this situation will release,trying to be positive.But to be fairly honest with you I am one day up and one day down.One day smiling,loving myself and the other day hating everything and beating up myself.Can you give me some advice?Thanks.Dagmar.

Answer:
Dagmar,

Your son is not lost to you and you MUST remember this every single moment of your life. Everyday say to yourself, "I know with certainty that I am with my son always in all ways in peace as a family."

Dagmar, it is your certainty that is so very important here. To believe anything less allows for doubt to rob you of your power. Be certain and say this over and over everyday.

Now, you must also close your eyes and place your hand (visualize your hand) in your son's heart. As you place your hand there say, "And with this act of love I connect us in the constancy of love now and forever." You need only do this one time. This will allow for a powerful flow of love from you to your son all time.

Dagmar, this moment when you are apart physically is not forever unless you choose that it is so. You must choose to honor all of your choices to feel defeated by the loss of your son or your husband's action but then choose to let go of those choices. Say it like this...I, Dagmar, honor and celebrate all of my choices to believe I will not see or be with my son again, but in this moment I choose to release those choices and choose to learn from them in perfection. From this moment forward I choose to know with certainty that we are, always have and always will be together now and forever."

The next thing for you to do is not act like you are defeated. You must take every action you can to find out where your son is, return to that place or country, and be with your son. Whenever anything seems more powerful than you are stop and take a deep breath. Then state powerfully to yourself that there is nothing more powerful than you are. Remember this always.

The important thing here Dagmar is that you align your actions with your choice to be with your son physically. You must do what you say you want. As you act toward that choice of your heart doors will open for you.

I offer one last sharing. You husband's rage that he is playing out with your son is your own. There is work for you to do here to help yourself for the rest of your life.

In addition to the work you are doing to love yourself I encourage you to embrace and release your husband. Say this to yourself, "I,Dagmar, as God honor with great joy my choice to hold rage, be angry at my husband, and all other thoughts, feelings, words or actions I have had or take about my husband that are not loving. But in this moment I release those choices and all experiences of them and choose to learn from them in perfection. And for all moments forward I choose to know that all that is in my life is here as my teacher so I accept it and learn from it in peace.

There is much healing to do here Dagmar but most importantly find your way back to your son. Do it through certainty, action and acceptance.

If you want to learn more about loving oneself please look at our Online Workshop. It is an inexpensive way to learn how to use and work with many of the tools I have shared with you today.

My heart is with you and your son in love.

With peace,

Chris

Question:
I have lost all hope. I don't even know how to begin with a question. I feel paralyzed with heart break. I've tried so many healing methods, but now I think I'm finished trying. I guess my question is how do go on? I've tried since Aug. of '98 to find whatever I'm looking for to continue hoping, but......

Answer:
Sally,

Twenty-five years ago I was on the brink of suicide. I had also lost all hope and lived in great despair, darkness and pain. In a flash, on the day I was determining how I would end my life, I remembered my joy as a seven year rolling in the grass. I realized in that moment that joy existed and I could find it again.

I made two commitments that day. One was to find one moment of joy each day and to accept the rest of my life without judgment. I realized that I felt bad about my pain and despair and I needed to rest from that as well. Secondly, I decided that I would only choose what I did for the rest of my life by asking myself if the choice I was contemplating would be joyful for me.

What I discovered is that day by day I lived into a little more joy until one day I realized I no longer experienced any darkness. This process took a few years to fully reach light in my life but I experienced improvement every single day.

Sally, your despair and loss of hope is deeply rooted in life choices as was mine. You hold the key to healing that hopelessness if you choose. It takes work but with work you can experience more than you ever dreamt possible.

Twenty years later, when I had the experience that led to the work I do at The Worldwide Center teaching people selflove, I realized that the choice I made in my early twenties was to love myself. Now, I am honored to share with all who seek to understand the key to a life filled with joy and peace what it means to love yourself.

You see, my friend, it is self-hate that results in the pain that has shut down your heart. You have never been taught how to love yourself and why it matters. No medicine can heal this deep wound to your truth. But you can. It is just a choice.

Through the Worldwide Center we (my business partner Marilyn Innerfeld and I) have committed to make this teaching available to all who seek to learn. We have two books (Healing Through Love and The Simple Truth About God) available. I'd recommend Healing Through Love to you first. We have a workshop that is available online as a series of audiofiles you can listen to at your leisure for less than $75, and we teach one on one over the telephone to people all over the world.

The truth Sally is that you are your own healer. You need only to learn the simple, but powerful tools that will heal your heart. Your heart has brought you to our site of great purpose because it is the place of truth that can awaken you to the key you have held within your whole life.

Choose what you will do and how you will love yourself in this moment. We would be honored to help you.

Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. If you want to talk further call 303-674-7704 and let us know how and when to reach you.

With love,

Chris

Question:
I would like to ask Marilyn about coping skills after emotional abandonment.

Answer:
Dear Friend,

Thank you for your submission.

You ask about coping skills following emotional abandonment. This is a very broad-based question. We can be emotionally abandoned due to a variety of life

situations. However, I believe that there are coping mechanisms that work in all instances.

When we feel abandoned, the first question we need ask ourselves is, "How am I abandoning mySELF?" This is challenging because it's always easier to look at

another and blame them for our feelings of loss. However, we teach at the Worldwide Center that nothing happens to us that we aren't asking our hearts to teach us. Adult abandonment is rooted in the feelings of abandonment from childhood issues. Did a parent die when we were young? Were we not nurtured enough? There are a myriad of childhood issues to be examined that would enable us to release the root in order to avoid future abandonment issues.

But the question asked is how to cope. First, I suggest that you allow yourself to grieve. Let the pain wash through you and give yourself time to cry, rant, rave,

scream, be angry. But choose how long you want this experience. For some it could be a few hours; for others, days. Many struggle for weeks and months, but it is unnecessary. Once you've chosen your timeframe, make new choices. Tell your heart that you are ready to move on... and then do it! It sounds simplistic, but as we

teach in our Expanded Living Workshop, there are tools to use to release pain. In this instance, thank your heart for its pained feelings of abandonment and all the

lessons learned, and then let them go with love, and replace the feelings of abandonment with great peace and joy. It goes like this...

"Heart, I honor the pain I am experiencing from (this abandonment situation). Having learned from this in absolute perfection, I release this pain with great love and replace it with peace and acceptance."

Do this over and over (and over!) again until you feel calmer.

Then fill your time. Make choices that will honor your heart. Be with people you enjoy. Read. Watch comedies. Listen to music. Go out and be sure not to sit around feeling sorry for yourself. If you are struggling with mild depression, eat healthy for your body. Avoid sugar, alcohol and take vitamins. There are good products to assist with depression, including a strong B complex. Stay busy and pay attention to the joys of the day. At first there may not seem like many but you will notice more and more as time moves forward.

Finally, love yourself. Do for YOU and focus on your heart. List 10 things you love about yourself every day and keep going for a whole month. One morning you will wake up and the pain will be no more...

I share this with love.

Marilyn

Question:
How can I stop a lifelong pattern of experiencing serious accidents caused either by negligent people (drunk driver, etc.) and/or nature (storms with trees hit house)? I have done counseling, healing work spiritual work, self love work, and feel that maybe there is an otherworldly cause? Thankyou. Jean

Answer:
Dear Jean,

Nothing that occurs in your life is an accident. Everything is a communication from "your" heart about "how" you are choosing to love yourself.

There are a few things to look at to understand your experiences. First, look at how old you were when the first one occurred. If you were 12 or under then there is likely something going on across time and you came to your earthly life with this energetic experience. In that case, it is possible to release this choice from your soul.

I'd recommend two things. First, you need to sit in peace with yourself, quiet your mind, and ask your soul, "what is the source of all of these experiences?" Listen very carefully for the answer. It may be a word, a sign, a single thought. You will know. Once you know then say to yourself, "As all that I Am I honor and celebrate my choice in this or any lifetime to learn or experience myself through serious accidents. But in this moment I choose to release this choice and all experiences of it in peace and learn from it in perfection. And for all moments to be I choose to learn through peace, balance and joy."

Now, if these experiences began after the age of 12 everything is different. In that case, you are creating these experiences in this lifetime as manifestations of your heart trying to get your attention to how you are loving yourself. These events are NOT happening from outside of you but rather from inside. You need to look at your heart and look at how you are being "negligent" in your love for yourself or erratic in how you love you. For instance, look at whether you feel good about yourself when things are going well and put yourself down when they are not. Or look at how you love others. Are you inconsitent and neglectful? That is where the work is.

Once you understand how your life choices mirror what these seemingly erratic events are like then use the same language as I gave you above ie. "As All that I Am ..." After you have done this you MUST change your behaviors of neglect and inconsistent love. If you do not this pattern will continue because your heart wants you to wake up and love yourSELF unconditionally.

Jean, if you need further guidance feel free to contact us at 303-674-7704.

With love,

Chris

Question:
What do you know about God?

Answer:
Dear Viorel,

I know that God is perfect and magnificent.

I know that YOU are God.

I know that you do not understand that statement as truth in this moment. But, if you choose, you will remember this truth and change the world.

I know that you look at yourself and the world filled with terror, pain, and hate and feel that there is no way each of us is God.

I know that you, as God, have become so accustomed to self-judgement that it legitimizes all of your beliefs that you and all others are not worthy to be God.

I know that you are perfect as God though just as you are right now.

I know that as God you choose everything and that means you choose to learn through joy or pain however you so choose.

I know of God's power.

I know that in an instant you can choose to stop the self-judgment and let go of your fear and choose to love and accept unconditionally all that you are.

I know the power you hold as God.

I know that when you make the choice to love yourself unconditionally you will experience all that you now believe belongs only to the kingdom of God.

You need only to look in the mirror to see God.

You need only to celebrate what you see in every moment to experience all that you are as peace, love and joy!

I share my love as God with you now and forever.

With love,

Chris

Question:
hi chris,

you have said:

What I mean is that there is only one truth on earth and that is that each of us is God. Everything else is either a choice or a judgment about a choice. Fear is the experience of separation from this simple, yet powerful truth.

You see, as God, you have nothing to fear for you are the creator of all. When someone chooses to see themselves as less than all-powerful they separate from this truth and live in an experience of lack of power, lack of knowing, and lack of connection to all. That experience is filled with uncertainty, thereby creating fear.

can you explain? can you give examples to understand this? how can I be manifesting others reactions and interaction with me if they have choice also? where is the line? I don't understand...it seems like you are saying I am the cause of all so if someone mistreats me do they have no responsibility for that if you are saying I am manifesting their behaviour? can you give an example of this? Also how am i supposed to see myself all powerful when it seems like I have no control over the circumstances? are you really saying by just pretending and telling to myself I am all powerful and knowing everything will be all right? how is that so? I still do not understand how I am god.. it certainly sounds nice and I would like to be i guess but I feel more like a rat trapped in a maze? any suggestions...

Answer:
Laura,

You are asking powerful questions that confuse you because our life experience on earth is premised on the choice to believe in "individuated life experiences." What I mean is that we have chosen in our separation from self as God to believe that each person is a distinct being separate from us as well. And so, since we choose that belief as God that is what we experience. It is kind of a circle.

Now, let us back up. On earth many seek to understand the concept of Oneness. They think of it as if we all hold hands in a sense. In truth, what it is that there is only ONE experience of God and that is YOU. Your experience of that includes me because I am one of the millions of manifestations of your heart asking you "is this choice how YOU want to love yourself?"

One choice may be a person filled with anger, another one filled with love, and so forth. As you choose how you will love you in each moment the kaleidoscope of people on earth shifts to a new alignment of people on your life stage. And then again and again.

The more important issue is why this truth matters. First, imagine what it is like for your heart if what I am saying is truth. Most of your life is spent ignoring your heart as it manifests all the people in your life. Sometimes you really pay attention but for the most part you take little notice even to those who are speaking directly to you. What I have found is that people are distracted even when listening to someone else. What happens then is that your heart gets filled with feelings of rejection, lack and frustration. (Imagine the married couple where one ignores the other.)

Then imagine what it feels like when you judge another. That judgment is felt in your heart and life. Lots of pain.

Now, let us look at what this really means. It means that in every moment you can learn from your heart. You can pay absolute attention to everyone that speaks to you and in doing so you will discover that your heart has been answering all your questions through every person in your life. It is amazing. Learning to work with this requires that you learn a whole new way of communicating with yourself (your heart.) We cover this extensively in our workshop (see the Online Workshop available for $75 on our Home Page by clicking on the green navigation button on the left side if you really want to understand how to work with this truth.)

But, for now, pay attention to the tone with which people talk to you and what they say. You will discover that their tone signals you on what you are doing (critical indicates that you have been judging self and other) and the words give you specific guidance. It is like dream interpretation.

Now, in answer to your question of whether you manifest everyone the answer is absolutely yes. Everyone in your life is a manifestation of your own heart speaking to you about how you love yourself. I had a woman write me today who experiences her husband not really caring about her pain. As I read her story, I realized that she fundamentally has chosen to believe that no one cares about anyone but themselves. So her heart is saying to her "is this how you want to love yourself?" Her husband is her heart. If she paid attention to his actions that way she could say "wow, no I don't" and then change her beliefs and actions.

In teaching lots of people through our workshops, I have heard of example after example that is amazing about how our hearts speak to us. It is almost magical when you start to work with it.

Laura, when I teach that you are God understand that "God" is mankind's word for the greatest magnificence and perfection one can imagine. What it means that YOU are GOD is that you are perfect and magnificent as you are. How you relate to that truth is the expression of how you love yourself and self includes everyone on earth.

You do not feel like God because the choice to believe you are less in many ways is so ingrained in your experience. Now, you can hardly even conceive that you are powerful and what scares you is that you judge your creation of life as flawed because there is pain, war and hate. That judgement makes you not want to see yourself as the creator. The only way back is to choose to honor the perfection of all choices, even great pain, and choose to know and live once again your power as God.

There is much you are asking about here. I hardily recommend you take our Expanded Living E-Online Workshop. It is a series of audiofiles that you can listen to through your computer and you will be walked through all of the teachings about what it means that you are God. For $75 it is the greatest bargain on earth. Visit our Home Page and check it out by clicking on the left side navigation button marked Online Workshop.

I also do One-on-One teaching and you can call me at 303-670-4358 if you want to learn more.

Thanks for asking. So much is available to you.

Question:
i met a man 2 1/2 both of us of christian faith.

we moved in together and lived in sin. we both still had a close relationship with God and one day i was really receiving the holy spirt and was told by God to leave this man that i deeply love and he i. now my feelings have completly change

it seems for no apparant reason and i am totally

confused about it all. How can this happen?

Answer:
Dear Sabrina,

Much rests in your heart when you judge yourself so harshly. On earth we have chosen rules to guide our behavior, but at the same time, we have chosen to turn those rules into mechanisms of self-punishment.

The concept of sin is a man-made concept of self-punishment. It defines a choice as "bad" and even places it in the aura of an act against "God."

Sabrina, you are a woman of deep religious belief. It helps you to hold the beliefs you have chosen but know that it also causes pain. What I mean is that the only truth is that "you are God." Everything else is a choice or judgment about a choice. As God you have chosen to follow a set of beliefs that defines some of your actions as "wrong." It judges one action versus another. With that comes the feeling and experience for your heart of that judgement...the feeling of pain.

Your choice to live out of wedlock with one that you loved was just that ... an expression of your love. Your heart was filled with love and in its free and un-judged expression you shared that without a marital commitment. The pain arose from your judgement through your chosen beliefs that your choice was wrong. The expression of your love in living together turned to pain in the belief you were doing something wrong.

In truth, there is no right or wrong. There is only choice and with choice comes the consequent experience. Let yourself love yourself for all your choices ...even those deemed wrong in your faith. For through choice you experience all that you are and through such experience you learn of your power and truth.

Sabrina, you can come to peace with your love for this man but not while you hold judgement over your experience of love with him. You must first accept yourself in this moment and then you will be able to let go of the pain that now blocks you from experiencing that love with him freely.

Remember also that within your faith you can choose to marry him and bring your hearts to peace in full alignment with your religious beliefs. The choices are yours.

If you want to learn more about judgement, choice and acceptance consider taking our Expanded Living E-Online Workshop from the comfort of your home. It is only $75 and will give you tools for a lifetime of joy. You can learn more about it by going to our home page and clicking the green navigation button marked Online Workshop.

Mostly,learn to love yourself in all moments and you will find great peace and joy.

With love,

Chris

Question:
HOW IS FEAR?BY GREAT PHILOSOPHERS

WHAER IS FEAR?BY GREAT PHILOSOPHERS

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL FEAR?BY GREAT PHILOSOPHERS

WHY PEOPLE ARE FEAR? BY GREAT PHILOSOPHERS

Answer:
Ramesh,

You ask of fear, one of the most common experiences for mankind on earth.

Fear, simply, is the opposite of truth.

What I mean is that there is only one truth on earth and that is that each of us is God. Everything else is either a choice or a judgment about a choice. Fear is the experience of separation from this simple, yet powerful truth.

You see, as God, you have nothing to fear for you are the creator of all. When someone chooses to see themselves as less than all-powerful they separate from this truth and live in an experience of lack of power, lack of knowing, and lack of connection to all. That experience is filled with uncertainty, thereby creating fear.

I do not mean to say, however, that fear is not real as an experience. It is. A person feels it in their very bones. When we hold on to an experience long enough what happens is that we "become" that experience. This is what one would understand as a "pathological" experience of fear in almost every moment.

To heal one's heart from the experience of fear one place to begin is to embrace the fear with love. It is only through love that we release anything we have created as God. That is where one starts.

If you want to learn more about being God and this simple truth, consider taking our Expanded Living E-Workshop. It is shared through a series of audiofiles you can listen to through your computer and gives you an indepth understanding and the tools to live a joy-filled life in total communion with self as God.

Question:
Hi. I have lived with my best friend in an apartment nearby our college. I don't have any other friends around here, just her. She has a boyfriend. I left my hometown in which I was very active in my spiritual and physical life. I was surrounded by loved ones constantly. I moved in this new town with my best friend for school, but I had visited home many times, but this past weekend, I realized how much I missed that lifestyle. I am heart-broken because I want to move back and just finish school at another state college near my hometown. I have always lived my life for others, and their pleasure. I put everyone before myself. My best friend I love like a sister, but she has this boyfriend she is involved with, and I know as you grow, you meet that special person, and friends kind of fade away, but I feel even our connection isn't the same as it used to be. I ended up writing a letter to her to tell her how I felt and how I am going to go back home. I made this impulsive decision because I was too scared to tell her. But I did offer her to talk or read the letter through a message online, but she got to my letter first without reading the message. Now we are living together and she keeps herself in her room avoiding me as much as possible. I feel like I am being punished or something. I don;t know what to do, but to give her time. Am I really at fault for writing the letter, or was it okay? Some tell me yes, she tells me no. She is pissed off because we're best friends and I ended up not finding words to just tell her, and having to write a jane doe letter made her upset. Now she won't talk to me. I've prayed about this so much, asking God to guide me in the right direction. I know my lifestyle back home is what I want, but I feel so bad now, leaving her behind. I don't want to do that to her at all, but this is a choice I have finally discovered and made for my own happiness. Do you have any advice as to what I should do with my roommate and how I can keep our friendship and make it through this?

Answer:
Jessica

Life is a series of choices that reflect what is going on in your own heart. In our work, Marilyn and I teach that every moment of life is an act of love for yourself and that is the same whether you are acting toward another or what you perceive as self.

So let us look at what your heart is saying. First, you left your circle of friends to go off to school in a new place. You experienced the loneliness of this choice, particularly because your close friend was preoccupied with her boyfriend. Both reflections of your heart manifest "leaving" or "abandoning" yourself and are calling you to look at how you have been loving yourself lately. For instance, do you think more about what is lacking about you (ie. I don't like my body, I am not good at meeting people, etc.)? Look back to before you left for school because I bet these types of choices began there. What happens is that the heart then shows you what is happening (it manifests two instances of abandonment) so that you might wake up to your choices of abandoning yourself through your thoughts and change them. Once you do your life experience will change.

Unless you change the underlying experience for your heart it will not matter if you return to live home. You will take the "abandonment" and "loneliness" with you even though it will feel better at first to return home. Do the work to change your patterns of self-judgment to celebration and unconditional love for self and it will not matter where you live.

Your experience with the letter is similar. Your heart manifested "abandonment" once again in your friend's reaction. This indicates to me that you are carrying deep choices in your heart of having "abandoned" yourself in how you love you.

While these understandings may not immediately ease your confusion with your friend they get to the deeper experience that you must look at in order to experience life differently.

As for the friend, I would tell her you understand her choice (this is a moment of acceptance) to feel resentful of your letter, but there is no joy in being friend's this way. Ask if she will talk about it and if not tell her when she is ready to do so you would love to, but for now you must move on. This is a peaceful way to talk with her as your heart and then know that at the perfect moment this will come full circle. Now, may not be that moment. Honor that.

I share this with love,

Chris

Question:
Growing up, all my life I heard my father complain of the things he as doing for us and asking once in a while how we would pay him back.. Obviously for whatever the reason he always felt that he was underappreciated His statements implied that we were a burden he was carrying around.. Our life was a normal middle class family life, I could never understand how I was causing this great pain he was feeling I understood his feelings and accepted that it may be true for him, but at the time,I did not really feel any emotional reactions like anger or sadness or any sort of lacking feeling any child of my age could easily feel in my place.. I always knew the strong wonderful center of wisdom within me and I resided there...When I finished college he suddenly cut me off before I even settled for my first job. and I can't say I did not see this coming..After that furious conversation with him on the phone that day, I hanged up and it has been 10 years now I have not seen and spoken to him again..He divorced my mother married another woman and had another child..I am 30 now and from time to time, I find myself feeling anger and blaming him for deserting our family when things seem not to be working out in my life.. What I want to understand is really what happened in terms of me "loving myself" as you put it.. so that I can close this chapter in my life once and for all.. Any comments and insights you provide will be greatly appreciated...thanks with my deepest gratitude..

Answer:
Sendia -

You have asked a personal question with a universal lesson. Each moment of our life is a manifestation of our own heart asking us "is this how YOU want to love yourself?" Your father's repeated message that he was "under-appreciated" was your heart trying to get your attention to how YOU were not "loving" or "appreciating" or "celebrating" YOU. His "abandonment" was your heart in frustration because you were not responding to its messages and continuing to love with disregard. Your heart was saying "do you want to love yourself by not supporting yourself or not being there for you?"

While you may be challenged to understand how the heart communicates with you, the truth is that as God you manifest every person in your life as a way for your heart to talk to you about how you are choosing to love - self and all others. On earth, we do not understand this truth so we ignore others or push them away which only incites the heart to try to reach us more powerfully.

The closure for this learning from your heart has not yet occurred. As a matter of fact it has left a deep hole in your heart. Begin to heal by acknowledging to your heart that you have not "supported" yourself and begin to spend time everyday appreciating everything about you. In time, this will reverse and heal the hole you feel inside that is filling with anger.

If you are interested in fully understanding how your heart speaks to you and how to heal consider taking our Expanded Living Workshop or Teleclass. It is very powerful and will give you the tools to heal fully much quicker.

Thanks for your question.

With love,

Chris

Question:
I am a third time cancer survivor. My last battle, cancer invaded my adrenal glands. With herbal treatment it was cured but I am having so many problems with food allergies but yet my herbalist cannot detect any more cancer. Praise God !!!

Have you folks had any experiences like this and if so what would you recomend ???

Thank you,

Owen Britton, Troxelle

Answer:
Dear Owen,

Thanks for the powerful question. Congratulations on winning your battles. I fully understand, having experienced cancer twice myself.

Cancer, as with all illness, offers us an opportunity to learn about how we love ourselves. No matter how frequently we "beat" illness, as long as it recurs, or something else challenges us, it simply means we haven't released the root of the creation of the illness. All illness is rooted in emotional pain created a long time ago. Once that root is released, the illness can fully heal and never return.

It is important to work on the wholeness of you! You can continue to build your health in two ways... by working with your body via eating healthy, taking nutritional supplements and drinking lots of purified water. And you must also work at uncovering the reason you were ill in the first place. This includes your allergies.

There is much available for you to research regarding nutrition. Many supplements are out there that assist the body's building blocks in fighting disease. But most powerfully, you should choose to release the pain and fear that still resides in your heart. There will be nothing more powerful than this in healing for you.

Love yourself, Owen. Every day. Accept yourself as perfect. Thank the cancer for being your greatest teacher. And feel free to contact us at the Worldwide Center to do the work needed to free your heart...and your body, once and for all.

I share this with love,

Marilyn

Question:
I feel I'm just living right now. I have accepted God in my life and allowed him to use me to become closer to him. Great things have happened for me. I went back to school and changed my way of thinking about life. My heart has been broken many times and this last relationship , I decided to be friends first. It worked. He is gone and has moved on. I lost a friend and pray that we will find our way back as friends again. I have to allow him to grow. I have growing to do myself. I'm just tired of my heart hurting, so now I do not and can not allow anyone in my heart again. When will this go away? What can I continue or start to do?

Answer:
Tanya -

Thank you for sharing your question with such honesty and truth. It is sometimes challenging for people to look at their lives without judgment and so they hide the pain they hold inside.

You speak of many things. Let me share with you about each one.

First, you have made choices to return to school and find new ways to experience life that have honored you and that is wonderful. Celebrate those choices and call forth more joy.

Know that while most on earth choose to see God as a force that is separate, there is no separation. Your experience of "letting God into your life" and having "God use you to be closer to him" holds a space between you and God. There is no space and in allowing "God" in what happened is that you opened yourself to yourself in a new way and that is what you experienced as "guidance." So be it, it honors you.

Now, as for your relationships. Understand that all "relationships" are manifestations of our own love for our self. There is no separation between you and the "other." While this may be challenging to understand know that you can only experience love from another to the degree you love yourSELF.

Interestingly, you have experienced "loss" of love many times. Look at how you LOVE yourself and I can guarantee you that you love conditionally. Sometimes you "feel" good about yourself and others you see yourself as lacking.

As a resutlt, you manifest relationships in which you experience love and then loss of love. This pattern with others will not stop until you stop loving and then judging something about yourself as lacking.

To begin to change this pattern find 10 things you love about yourSELF EVERYDAY and say "I love ...blank" with passion about 10 things each day for the rest of your life. The key is that for 30 days you cannot repeat any of the things you love. Do this exercise and it will get you focused on loving you and awaken your heart.

I encourage you also to choose to change your choice to close your heart and never let anyone else into your heart so that you do not experience pain. Pain held locked in the heart can never heal. Healing will only occur by opening your heart and finding the key to love - selflove.

All of our work at The Worldwide Center is about teaching people the power of selflove. We work individually with people over the telephone or in workshops and teleclasses. If you want to do the deeper work to heal your heart and live the most amazing experience of love, call us and we will go much further.

I share this with love.

Question:
Thank you for the opportunity to present my questions. I am 54 years old and have worked at a prestigious college in telecommunications for the past 8 years. My department manager led me to believe that my job was secure and then suddenly outsourced my job, leaving me with no time to prepare for the financial blow. It has been very difficult adjusting; I live right at the edge of the campus, I loved my work and the people appreciated my contributions. (And they continue to express their love, best wishes and concerns for my well being.) This is the second job that has ended this way. Five years ago, my wife filed for a divorce and then things settled down. Now that my employment has ended, she is telling me that she "wants out" and demands that I leave. It's hard to know what is best when the foundation has been shattered under your whole world. I have a anxiety disorder and it's not easy for me to cope. when I have no one I can personally confide in. I feel as if many are interested in a general way, but have no one to share my heart with. I was adopted and had wonderful parents, but I have felt the loss of my parental family all my life. My mother died at the time of my birth and my father left and I knew him, but never had the chance for a close personal relationship with him.

Should I be happy to go on thru life putting on a happy smile and meanwhile feel nothing but pain and loss on the inside? Isn't true love, unconditonal love? It seems that I always have to prove that I am "good enough". (And the problem is, that I never am !)

Answer:
Ken -

Life is a series of choices and those choices create our experience. Your life is filled with loss and now pain. Your heart has reverberated in the loss of your parents from birth and closeness (true sharing) is challenging in a world you believe is about abandonment.

It may be hard for you to fully grasp, but if the core of your heart at a very young age believed that there is something about you that makes it easy for people to abandon you, you will and have repeatedly manifest abandonment. It is like a self-fulfilling prophecy at the very core of your being.

You may not be aware of this belief Ken, but in our work we have discovered that people have "pivotal moments" that shift their perception of self, love, the world, trust...you name it. Once a belief shifts, as yours did as a child from "I am perfect as I am" to "I am not good enough for even my parents to stay with me," the individual holds this belief in their heart and from that manifests their reality. It is like a new software program telling your heart how life works.

So, you are at a powerful moment of choice. You can choose to continue as you are living a public life of everything is okay and a private life of pain (by the way, that is what many if not most people are doing so don't feel alone.) And there are no "shoulds" so that choice is yours and with it will come the experience you are having now on a continual basis with deepening pain.

Or, you can acknowledge that you want to experience more joy in your life and take action to live differently. You will need to do a few things. First, embrace with love your parents choice to leave you and then let go of every experience of that you have ever had. Choose that from now on you will know that you are "perfect just as you are" and to know that with ever breath you breathe every relationship in your life becomes one of greater commitment.

Finally, stop abandoning yourself. When you say that "you are never good enough" you have abandoned unconditional selflove. Imagine what it would feel like for your child to hear repeatedly that they are not "good enough." Wouldn't your child feel loved conditionally? You must commit to yourself to always know you are "perfect just as you are" and that means even if you chose to kill, maim or murder. That is unconditional love and commitment to self.

Ken, in this brief answer I can only begin to share the guidance that will help you heal your heart and life. If you are interested in doing the deeper work to do so, please consider either taking our Expanded Living Workshop or working with me One-on-One over the telephone. If you want to discuss the work or our workshop feel free to call me at 303-674-7704.

I share this with love and yes, your life can be totally joy-filled! What will you choose to do to live that life?

Love,

Chris

Question:
All my life I have thought of myself being not good enough as others I am 67 and do not have the desire to live anymore. I went through a problem in church and now I can,t seem to trust nymore so I am alone. I would like to be able to do that.

Answer:
Frances -

Trust is not an experience of another, it is an experience of your own heart. This may surprise you, but consider for a moment how one trusts.

For your whole life you have seen yourself as less than others around you. It is a subtle, yet powerful way of undermining yourself sending a message to your heart that you cannot "trust" that you will do the "right" or "correct" thing.

Imagine for a moment having told your child their whole life that they are not as good as the other children. Your child would become insecure, afraid, and after awhile feel quite bad about themselves.

Now, your heart in its spiritual house - church -asks you to look at your own distrust. This may sound odd to you but everything you experience is a manifestation of how you love yourself. So, the experience of distrust, is your heart saying "is this how YOU want to love yourself?" Do you want to "distrust" your magnificence and perfection? It hurts!

The truth is that you are no more alone now then before. You are just acknowledging the pain of having abandoned yourself by not loving yourself all these years. It feels lonely.

Frances, this is a powerful moment. Despair is awakening. You can choose to acknowledge your choices to judge yourself less and let them go. Then choose in every way and every moment to love yourself unconditionally. 67 is young because for so many life is unlived in the pain of self-hate. You can choose selflove and live in joy!

With love,

Chris

Question:
How do you learn to love and accept your physical appearance unconditionally?

I've seen people who don't neccessarily live up to what society upholds as "beauty"...and yet they have the highest self esteem. I admire that, and would love to appreciate myself on that level.

Answer:
Deborah -

Thank you for this wonderful and powerful question.

On earth, while in body, we focus on what we "see" rather than what we "know." What I mean is that within us we have this simple truth that "as we are we are". It is a truth without judgment, just with acknowledgement. In that acknowledgement we then just live each moment free of fear that we are less or desire to be different. It is just pure experience.

In body, on earth, we live the opposite. We look at what we see and say to ourselves "that is what I am." Like the expression "the clothes make the man." But throughout life we struggle with this way of seeing ourselves and others because it often doesn't match up. We encounter moments when someone doesn't look "smart" and yet we discover they are brillant. And on and on. "Seeing" as a guide to the truth proves very limited.

The key to loving your beauty as it is unconditionally is to live your "knowing" again. That means to see yourself in wholeness in each moment as all that you are physically and non-physically and to love the magnificence of all that that is. This means that you will always hold the totality of your experience as one of celebration and not choose to look at one feature as your truth. It is so limited and conditional to choose to do so.

Know Deborah that those you meet who feel confident about themselves despite appearances that do not meet societal definitions of beauty, honor their truth fully and are free. They are not swayed by one moment's hairstyle or a change to their physical body. The foundation is much wider and stronger.

It is your choice my friend to "know" yourself and love yourself in each moment. It is the greatest gift and one that you can only experience through your own choice.

Love, Chris

Question:
I am very interested in your philosophy of living, however, I would like to learn more. Over the last 8 mos., my life has drastically changed because I have become responsible for myself for the first time in my life. I have gotten myself enrolled in a program that provides me with the tools to living a life powerfully. It's been working out well for me, but where I get stopped is when I want to contribute to anothers life. If I cannot provide something for a person, I quickly blame myself for that. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much.

Answer:
Trudie -

Thank you for your question. You ask a simple but powerful one about loving yourself as Other. One of the least understood truths on earth is that you and what you perceive as Other are actually the same. Every person on earth that you know is just a momentary manifestation of your heart speaking to you.

This is important because you ask about the self-judgment you feel when you cannot give to another. In truth, you are judging yourself equally as if the other is you. The difference is that right now you see yourself as more worthy or better when you do for others and less so when you do not. This comes from the lack in your heart that seeks external confirmation of your worthiness.

This is where your work is right now. You must take time to look at why you need something from what you perceive as outside of you to know you are a good or worthy person. When you get to that root you will no longer blame yourself because you will know that whether you choose to do for another or not does not change your worthiness in any way. It is very freeing.

We teach powerful workshops as tele-seminars if you are interested in understanding these concepts or roots in your heart.

We share this with love,

Chris

Question:
Why can't I live life as a happy person? I feel like a total failure, based, of course, on my expectations and on seeing others fly through their days, years, decades...seeming as if they have a progam. Depression and my inability to activate my ideas are filling my whole existence.

Please Help

Answer:
Dear Johanne,

Life is not about happiness, it is about joy. If you choose happiness you will choose so much less than what is available to you.

You, though, would be satisfied with happiness right now because you have struggled so to find light in the midst of depression. I, too, suffered such depression many, many years ago and when I reached the bottom I made a powerful choice. I chose to find one moment of joy everyday and accept without judgment the rest of my day for the rest of my life. You, too, can make this simple choice.

You see you judge yourself so powerfully now that it is like hitting yourself with a baseball bat over and over. You are beaten and even more so you are beating yourself. It is not that others are flying through life. It is that you look outside yourself and see what you deem "success" in order to reinforce how you look inside at yourself and see what you deem "failure."

Imagine how hard it is to "activate" your ideas into action when the experience of your heart is one of constantly being beaten with a bat. You must first and foremost decide to stop beating yourself. Only then will your heart reawaken to know that it is "safe" to live. Only then will your heart begin to "act" on your desires and compel you to act.

You must choose to celebrate you instead. And I mean all that you are. You must choose that each day you will tell yourself - "I love me just the way I am." And that is it, end of story.

You cannot think that you should be better or different. You cannot tell yourself you are a failure. You cannot tell others that you are weaker or unable. Otherwise you have just picked up the bat again.

Then, choose to find that one moment of pure joy in your life each day. It could be someone's smile or what happens on the bus or a comic in the paper. Once you have it know you are complete for the day. You will discover if you do this that you will live into more joy each day without even noticing at first.

I encourage you to go to our newsletter page and pull off the tips (exercises) to incorporate into your life. You would also really benefit from the teachings about selflove we do in our workshop. Give it thought when you are ready.

Thanks for asking and most of all know you are perfect just as you are right now. Imagine the peace of knowing that.

I share this with love, Chris

Question:
Help me understand just a little more in detail about your center and your philosophy of living. Please explain your comment above about asking you about living in joy...,selflove or being God?

What are you suggesting by saying being God?

Thank you.

Answer:
Anita -

The Worldwide Center teaches selflove. Our work is grounded in teaching one powerful truth that each of us is God - mankind's word for the greatest magnificence and perfection man can imagine. Our lives then are a manifestation of our choices about how we see ourselves relative to being magnificent.

It is like a mirror that one looks into. The mirror reflects your magnificence and perfection but you choose what you will see and say about what you see. Most choose to see themselves as less than perfect, lacking, needing to become more, weak and unworthy. Those choices are choices of conditional love. Those choices are choices to separate from one's magnificence and they create pain.

Unconditional love, total celebration of self even in moments of anger, rage, destruction and hatred, reflects acceptance and creates peace.

We teach that each of us is fully responsible for our lives. We choose our joy and our pain. Most do not understand how they make those choices though. So our workshops and one-on-one teaching are very practical and focus on teaching numerous tools to use everyday to choose joy.

We speak about living because our lives manifest our selflove. Expanded Living is about letting go of the limitation and separation so that you can experience all that you are in joy.

We thank you for your wonderful question.

Love, Chris
