Manifesting a Refined Focus: Plant a Seed or Two or Three or More

Charles Hannel's The Master Key System developed the first systematic fusion of East West thinking devoted to manifesting the life you want and deserve. When I encountered a reiteration of his 1912 classic in Tapping the Source: Using the Master Key System for Abundance and Happiness by William Gladstone, Richard Greninger and John Selby (2010 Sterling), I had one of those shocks of recognition that informed my doctoral research. A systemaric approach to manifestation--a notion near and dear to my heart! I might have written this book myself, and I am grateful the authors did.

My shock of recognition came from the uncannily similar affirmations that are posted on my bathroom wall that appear in the aforementioned books. One such focuses precisely on manifestation and follows the idea that the tangible creation starts with the thought and then emerges from the dream in the steps thereafter that bring that thought into actuality.

This blog came into being in the very same way. I was looking for a means to communicate my feelings, thoughts, ideas, points of view: in short a channel to be HEARD. My biz partner Nancy, who has posted often in the past several years, felt the same. We also wanted a place to enable boomers to be heard by selling their manifested dreams and so we created the complementary website: BoomerMade.

August 8, 2008: Ba Ba Ba=Fa Fa Fa or 888=Abundance, Abundance, Abundance

Money on Monday:

Lots of events will be ocurring on August 8, 2008.

The Beijing Olympics will begin and at 8: 08 PM. Lots of people will get married.

And Vaboomer will expand to include a sister website--Vaboomer Viosks.

What is a viosk? It is a virtual kiosk or a little open sided shop. Why on the 8th--in August...when lots of people are on vacation...and the world's attention is turned to Beijing?

Well, 08/08/08 is the most propitious date in the Chinese lunar cycle. And this year is year one in the 12-year cycle. It is the year of the rat, Chinese Zodiac which is means charm and gathering. Year of the Rat. So it is a magical year for gathering abundance, which is what ba (8), ba (8), ba (8) means because it sounds like fa, fa, fa or wealth, wealth, wealth Chinese Numbers.

We have gathered together a wonderful group of writers, artists, musicians, and educators--boomers, no VABOOMERS all, to share their magical creations with everyone. Most are people who have not been public with their work before or have been public only a little bit. They are "shy kittens." They will be offering the riches (fa, fa, fa) of their heart to enrichen the world.

Some years ago I had a radio show called Personal Alchemy dedicated to helping people transform their lives. So I am delighted to share the website listed below that my partner, Nancy, sent me.

To the alchemic magical transformance  of us all --our inner riches into the treasures of the world.

Sometimes You Just Got to Say It No Matter How Foolish You Might Seem

Malvonia came out of recovery last week singing. Her doctors called her a miracle patient. The liver transplant took and a week and two days after surgery she was home. I visited her July 4th and while she was resting and I was outlining my vision for an expanded Vaboomer next month and how I thought she would be part of it, her sister  came in to her bedroom. Linda looked at me and said, "You are a prophetess." I gaped. Then she drilled me with dead serious eyes and said, "You know who you are."

I want to squirm away from her flat definitive delivery. This is way too much like church revival talk for my comfort. I am pinned dead center--no wiggle room. No duck and shuffle. No aw shucks, 'mam. No embarrassed giggle, no modest brushing away of her naming. I am seen. I am called forth to be who I feel myself to be.

Yes, I do know who I am. And I can see. I can see pain. I can see truth. I can see hurt. I can see love. I can see misery. I can see anger. I can see real effort. I can see injustice. I can see honesty and lying. I can see beauty. I can see need. I can see tremulous hope--aching for a flicker of recognition. I can see talent. And I can see some of the path ahead.

I do see I have a calling--a mission to save lives by creating a channel for the treasures of the heart to flow into the world and the world's treasures to return in accord.

We who have dwelled in the inner darkness of injury and suffering require a way for that muted, damped, veiled, obscured brilliance to shine forth.

The expansion of Vaboomer next month is one means for that light to shine.

Wow! that was serious, but I had to say it.

Now here is what is coming in early August--a Suite of Viosks (virtual kiosks) all (va)Boomer created and produced

Vaboomer Book Cafe and Tea Shop--offering books, fair trade coffees and teas, delicious cookies and chocklates, hand made coffee mugs and antique tea cups and linens
