Today I want to share how thankful I am to be living during a time where technology is so advanced. And while I say that, I can’t help but think that people 100 years ago were probably thinking the very same thing, and people 100 years from now will look back at our technology and wonder how we lived in such primitive conditions. In either case, I am amazed by the availability of information on the Internet. You can find almost anything you want out there!
I have had a problem with a fan in my bathroom. It seemed like the switch was broken – the fan just stayed on regardless of the position that the switch was in. Since the fan still worked, and since I could unplug it directly, I was not in a lot of hurry to fix it. But eventually I got out to the Home Depot and got a new switch. To my great surprise, replacing the switch did not fix anything.
Now, I sort of get how electricity works in a house, but for a new switch to NOT turn something OFF is out right bizarre. I know the switch worked properly at one time, and then just stopped working completely. I did not believe that I closed the circuit somehow as to render the switch useless since I just re-connected the wires in their same positions, so it must be something else.
Well, here comes the Internet. After 5 minutes of searching, I came across a page where it talked about how a fan is sometimes wired into a humidity censor that will also control its operation if the humidity gets above a certain level. There is a humidity control device in the living room, so I turned it off, and VOILA, the switch works as expected. Amazing. I should have turned to the web a long time ago! Anyway, finally the mystery of a switch is solved!
The lesson? Don’t overlook the web as a fantastic resource for information!
Until next time,

1. Your monthly income became your weekly income?
2. Your annual income became your monthly income?
Bob Proctor asks these two questions in one of his seminars, and the interesting thing is, most people cannot answer them with any amount of detail or clarity. When he asked a couple of people, they responded with “I don’t know…”, mainly because they never really thought about it. And to be honest, when I first heard him ask those questions, I had no answer ready in my mind either.
So here is another question for you. Is it at all surprising that people who do not give much thought to what they would do with drastically increased incomes, never actually increase their incomes significantly?
I gave it quite a bit of thought and figured out exactly where I would channel the increased flow of abundance. I found that exercise quite a lot of fun. If your answers to the above two questions are unclear, I would encourage you to give it a much thought and figure it out. And when you do – when your picture is clear – you will be able to open yourself up to the opportunities to make it so.
Until next time,
V

Join me in knowing that…
This is a Universe where Energy is the only thing that is and where the flow of Energy is the only thing that is happening. Science teaches us that Energy cannot be created or destroyed and that it is the fundamental stuff behind all existence. Understanding that, I know that I am, fundamentally, an energy field operating in a much larger Energy Field of the world that surrounds me, individualized by the frequency of my vibration. And since energy cannot be created or destroyed, then everything I seek must already be here. So right here and now, I consciously increase the frequency of my vibration and become a magnet for all the things in resonance. Increased frequency means increased Energy, and with increased Energy there is more love, more happiness, more joy, and more abundance. I am deeply grateful for the profound simplicity of the world I live in, for my incredibly creative mind, and for the understanding of my perfect self. With unconditional gratitude I plant my picture into Mind and turn it over to the action of the Law, knowing that it is already so in the Absolute and that it must also be part of my experience. I know this as my Truth, I live from it, and so it is!
Until next time,
V

And as a spin-off from yesterday’s post, I also want to make sure that you don’t focus your energy and attention on knowing what you don’t want. Sure, there are things that you don’t want to have and experience in your life, but don’t focus on that – instead focus on the opposite of that. So if you don’t want to be alone, focus on having friends; if you don’t want to be broke, focus on abundance.
As you may have heard, the Universe cannot interpret the negative of anything. Not wanting something and wanting something is vibrationally identical because you are still energized about that something. Essentially the Universe takes the absolute value of the things you are talking about. Another concept to note is that your subconscious cannot tell the difference between the energy directed at yourself and energy directed at someone else. So if you are calling someone an idiot, it is the ‘idiot’ that is perceived, and not that it is someone else that you are actually talking about. Maybe this is why many wise people have said that you should send love out to everyone else – maybe it is so that you interpret it as love for yourself?
Now you may find this concept rather obvious, but I still hear a lot of people tell me with much greater ease what they do not want instead of what they do want. You’ll ask them what they want next year to be, and they say “I don’t know…I know that I don’t want to lose my job though”. Umm…OK. With that attitude, you just might…
So what do you want? Take the weekend to ponder that question!
Until Monday,
V

I believe that we sculpt our experiences with our feelings, which are often a result of our thoughts. That is why you will hear from all the different sources that if you change your thinking, you will change your life. So if thoughts are the starting point, then you need to be very clear about what you want. Clarity gives you power.
I like to compare this to a process of going to a professional designer, tailor, architect, or someone similar. If you are very clear about what it is that you want them to do and create, you will get exactly what you envisioned. If, however, you are unclear and hazy in your description, then you are inviting imagination and creativity from those people, and there is a good chance that what they will come up with will not be exactly what you wanted.
So, get as clear as possible on the life you want to live, the experiences you want to go through, and things you want to have. Clarity will make it a lot easier to bring those ideas in to your reality.
Until next time,

Prior and during the Olympic games there were a number of commercials running asking Canadians if we ‘believe’ in winning the Olympic games. The theme song of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, ‘I Believe’ by Nikki Yanofski, talks about the belief and the power of the nation as one. As you can see, belief has helped Canada win the Olympic games.
And yes, Canada did win the Olympic games. It’s the gold medals that count – the number of events that the country has won, and not reached second or third place. Sure, silver or bronze is a great achievement, but then getting to the Olympics in the first place is an achievement. In any case, counting the total medals seems to be a North American thing and if you go on the BBC website, Canada is in the first place as it should be!
And what a great accomplishment it is! Canada has never really been a power house in the Olympics, and here we are winning the most gold medals ever won in the Winter Olympic Games, the most gold medals ever won by a Canadian Olympic Team, and all that done on the home soil!
I am very impressed by and proud of what the Canadian athletes, and all the people who have supported the games, have accomplished and am grateful to live in this amazing country and this beautiful province.
So, what do you believe about yourself? Your environment? Your country? Your world?
Until next time,

I am deeply grateful for the ability to be in Vancouver during the Olympics, and most importantly, for the amazing experience of witnessing Canada win their 14th gold medal in hockey! As you can imagine, the streets were crowded with people wanting to see the game, and even though the game was scheduled for the afternoon, at 9 AM people lined up around the block to get into pubs and restaurants. The outside screens weren’t much better, since it was difficult to see the screen with so many people around. We needed to find a different vantage point. And we did.
Right across the street from the large LED screen at the Robson Square there is a Chapters, and it was empty! People were crowding the street trying to peak at the action on the screen in-between the heads and arms of the people in front of them, while we just went into Chapters, got to the second floor, and pulled up some comfy reading chairs right to the glass to watch the entire hockey game above the crowd! Some people noticed us up there and followed suit, and by the time the game got started that section of Chapters was packed!
I have to thank the Chapters management for not kicking a loud crowd out of their store and for even bringing some ice-cream sandwiches and candy for people to snack on.
So where in your life can you have the crowd follow you instead of the other way around?
Until next time,

Take these words as your own if you wish:
I know that there is one Universe and one thing happening – the eternal flow of Energy in the endless energetic field of the Universe. I know that this is a vibrational Universe as all Energy vibrates and that any vibration attracts to it other like vibrations. This is the fundamental Law of the Universe that is impartial, impersonal, and has no judgment. The Law only knows how to work and it does so each and every time. Knowing that, at the basic level, I am one with the endless energetic field of the Universe, I also know that everyone exists in this field. Being made, at the very basic level, of the same Energy as everyone else, I know that what is available to one is available to me. As I recognize that very Truth, I know that my results are directly proportional to my understanding, internalization, and action upon this Truth. My potential is truly unlimited and I act from that place each day. Being one with all, I expect my consciousness to grow in order to encompass this reality more and more and I also expect my results to follow suit. I feel unconditional gratitude for my life, my consciousness, and for my ability to create. I release my amped vibrations into the Universe and into the Law knowing that it is already done. And so it is!

This week I talked about taking responsibility for how you react to your environment and for creating that environment in the first place. “What’s the point?”, you may ask. I think that when you take responsibility for your life, you take back your power. It is one of the most liberating and inspiring realizations that I have ever made!
As soon as you realize that you are responsible, you stop being a victim of circumstances and become an architect for your life. You take back the power and begin to exercise that power to, hopefully, go in the direction that you want to go. If you think about it, for you to be able to change anything, you must know that you have some power to do so. Otherwise, you won’t even try. This is, I believe, one of the reasons why so few people vote in North America – they do not think that their vote will change anything, so they don’t even bother. Do you think it is any different in other aspects of your life?
For you to make more money, you need to believe that you are capable of doing so. For you to be fit and healthy, you need to believe that you can do it. For an athlete to win the gold medal, he or she needs to believe in their ability to perform at that level. It is interesting that with the Olympic games, Canadians are constantly asked, ‘Do you believe?’.
So take responsibility for your life and take your power back so that you can use it!
Until Monday,
V

Earlier this week I made a claim that we are responsible for absolutely everything that happens in our lives. For you to understand that, you first need to understand the concept of the Law of Attraction and how, through the vibrations that you release as a result of your thoughts and feelings, you attract the people, events, circumstances, and the environment that resonates with your predominant vibration. For people who understand the Law of Attraction, it is easier to understand how adults attract things, but it can still be difficult to see how an infant born to certain conditions is responsible for those conditions.
This comes back to the whole notion of your entire consciousness being attractive, which includes your subconscious mind, and not just your conscious mind. An infant does not have anything in their conscious mind – not anything they can make sense of anyways. When a child is born, they are, however, born with a subconscious mind that is wide open for programming, and although is wide open, it does not mean that it is empty.
Since we are all really Energy, I believe we are linked, in a way, through our subconscious minds. And the infant is subconsciously linked to his or her parents, community, country, and world as a whole, with parents having the strongest influence. If you have trouble with this, think of DNA. Child’s DNA carries programming from his parents, his larger community, and the human species as a whole, with the parental influence being the strongest. In a similar manner, the same child take on the subconscious programming from their parents. And it is this subconscious programming that a child starts out with that is attractive.
I hope that this explanation makes some sense.
Until next time,
V
