We have had such a fantastic response for Meet the One Command Teleseminar coming up this week, April 21, 22 that I wanted to share with you a quote that ties in so well with “The One Command”

Most of you know that I love Neville Goddard, a man that, Joseph Murphy has called “one of the greatest mystics of all time”. I Agree, and I would like to share this Neville quote from his book, “At Your Command.”

Commands to be effective, must be short and to the point: the greatest command ever recorded is found in the few simple words, “And God said, Let there be light.”
Neville Goddard

I Am having great fun combining the principles found in the books At Your Command by Neville Goddard and The One Command by Asara Lovejoy

Commanding our Subconscious mind, especially while in Theta, or as Neville says, (the Closet or the Silence)  is Very Powerful!

If you are interested in reading Asara’s book, The One Command AND MP3 6- Steps to Mastering the One Command you can either purchase it for $24.94 Here

OR

You can sign up to attend the Meet The One Command 2 day Event, April 21 – 22, by going Here
AND RECEIVE The One Command AND MP3 6- Steps to Mastering the One Command FR*EE as a BONUS.

When you subtract the cost of the bonuses that you get fr*ee, the cost of the Meet the One Command Event comes to just over $54 for 3 full hours of concentrated learning over 2 days with the founder of TOC, Asara Lovejoy. In my opinion, it doesn’t get any better than that.

Click here to Meet The One Command and for SPECIAL time sensitive BONUSES!

Now, I would like to answer some of the most asked questions that have been pouring into my inbox since announcing this Teleseminar.

QUESTION: Is it 3 full hours OR is the second day a recording of the first?

ANSWER: It is 3 Full hours. The reason we decided to split this over 2 nights is to give all  the opportunity to really set TOC into your awareness and on the second call Asara will fine tune it to take you through the real application of the many ways you can use and for you to anchor it right into your DNA! Also, the 2 day format allows you to work with your partner in between calls if you choose to work with a partner.

That brings me to the 2nd most asked question that I have received
QUESTION: What if I DO want to work with a partner for the Event but I don’t have a partner?

ANSWER: That’s easy. If you decide that you would like to work with a partner, and don’t have one, you can do one of 2 things
Join the commandingwealthcircle yahoo group

A yahoo group populated by over 700 participants, people, like yourself, who are practicing The One Command.
To connect with a partner, to practice TOC with, simply post “I need a TOC partner”

OR, YOU CAN

Leave a comment here requesting a  Partner for the Teleseminar and I will pair you up with someone who is also attending the Event and looking for a partner. Personally, I love this kind of pairing up. Like many of you I have experienced this seemingly random partnering many times at live and online events and looking back I have always found it perfectly guided. )

FOR OTHER QUESTIONS you have…JUST ASK

This promises to be an Amazing 3 hour Teleseminar…at a really Great price.

See you on the first call Wednesday night.

Thank You.

Special Guest: IHALEAKALA HEW LEN, Ph.D., Chairman Emeritus of  TheFoundation of I, Inc. Freedom of the Cosmos and co-author with Joe Vitale of “Zero Limits” probably needs no introduction to those who embrace Self-Identity through Ho’oponopono, but for those who want to know more you can go to www.Hooponopono.org to read more and be sure to read “Who’s in Charge?” for a better understanding of the Law of Cause & Effect.

Special Guest: KAMAILELAULI’I, LMT, R, MBA, Vice President of The Foundation of I, Inc. Freedom of the Cosmos has practiced Self-I-Dentity through Ho’oponopono for over 38 years.

This is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len’s introduction of Kamailelauli’i.
Kamailelauli’i and ‘Ihaleakala meditate daily.  Together they are responsible for the spiritual content of Self I-dentity through Ho’oponopono and for the spiritual direction of the Foundation of I, Inc. Freedom of the Cosmos.

In 1969 when she was nineteen (19), Kamailelauli’i began her training with Kahuna Lapa’au Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, designated a Living Treasure of Hawaii in 1983.  She received guidance from Morrnah in the practice of meditation for the purpose of ho’oponopono and for inspiration from Divine Mind.

Morrnah invited Kamailelauli’i to meditate with her on health, business, spiritual consultation, spiritual consciousness, planetary concerns and universal and cosmic events.  The long hours of meditation has resulted in a life long practice of meditation and ho’oponopono.

Kamailelauli’i had the privilege of working directly with Morrnah on her development and publication of the Self I-dentity through Ho’oponopono process.  This updated ho’oponopono problem solving process is shared by the Foundation in classes, lectures and publications around the world. ~ Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len

We are so  grateful that Kamailelauli’i will join Mabel on one of the calls in this series to share her experiences and to respond to comments and questions.

The Teleseminar  Kamailelauli’i did with Mabel on August 19 was a magical experience for all and the NEW Cleaning tool that came to her on the call and was presented to all on the call is so powerful and Universal in nature, that ALL of us, on the call, can’t wait to be present on this call with Kamailelauli’i again.

A growing number of people are discovering, using and experiencing for themselves the Self I-dentity through Ho’oponopono process to erase and to LET GO of the memories replaying, reliving problems in their lives.

In Kamailelauli’I’s words:
“Humanity has made a move forward in evolution-especially that of the woman aspect. All of us have a feminine nature.  It is this nature that is so greatly karmically bound.

As we work with our new spiritual cleansing tools, apply the Self-I-Dentity through Ho’oponopono process and care for our sub conscious selves we facilitate our own evolution and that of the feminine nature.  Thank GOD!!!  Really…….without the cleaning we would be forever stuck.” ~ Kamailelauli’i

Welcome to my NEW Blog!

 Almost three years ago I heard about a dinner that Joe Vitale had put together in to honor a man that Joe called Dr. Len. 

I was intrigued. I googled the doctor’s name and the process that he was famous for, Ho’oponopono. I was surprised to find very little information.

I did learn that the word, Ho’oponopono means “to make right” and that the process, itself is one of repentance, forgiveness and love.

A few months later I came across the, now famous, article by Joe Vitale entitled “The World’s Most Unusual Therapist.”

 As I read it, it struck a chord within me. I knew I had to know more. Now, when someone calls or emails asking about the weekly Ho’oponopono Teleclasses I host with Mabel Katz, and often, Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, I always smile in total understanding when they say, things like: “when I heard about Ho’oponopono, something happened inside me and I just knew I had to know more.”

It happened to me. It happens a lot. I think it’s a feeling of Coming Home.  

Since that article was the first thing I ever posted on my old blog and my first post on the first ever Ho’oponopono Forum, which I started on Powerful Intentions, I thought it a good idea to post it again here, as my first post on my NEW Blog.

Welcome! I hope you’ll stop by often.

ENJOY!

The World’s Most Unusual Therapist  ~ A story about Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len,

by Joe Vitale 

Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients– without ever seeing any of them. The psychologist would study an inmate’s chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person’s illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved.

When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could anyone heal anyone else by healing himself? How could even the best self-improvement master cure the criminally insane?

It didn’t make any sense. It wasn’t logical, so I dismissed the story.

However, I heard it again a year later. I heard that the therapist had used a Hawaiian healing process called ho ‘oponopono. I had never heard of it, yet I couldn’t let it leave my mind. If the story was at all true, I had to know more.

I had always understood “total responsibility” to mean that I am responsible for what I think and do. Beyond that, it’s out of my hands. I think that most people think of total responsibility that way. We’re responsible for what we do, not what anyone else does. The Hawaiian therapist who healed those mentally ill people would teach me an advanced new perspective about total responsibility.

His name is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. We probably spent an hour talking on our first phone call. I asked him to tell me the complete story of his work as a therapist. He explained that he worked at Hawaii State Hospital for four years. That ward where they kept the criminally insane was dangerous.

Psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The staff called in sick a lot or simply quit. People would walk through that ward with their backs against the wall, afraid of being attacked by patients. It was not a pleasant place to live, work, or visit.

Dr. Len told me that he never saw patients. He agreed to have an office and to review their files. While he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients began to heal.

“After a few months, patients that had to be shackled were being allowed to walk freely,” he told me. “Others who had to be heavily medicated were getting off their medications. And those who had no chance of ever being released were being freed.”

I was in awe.

“Not only that,” he went on, “but the staff began to enjoy coming to work. Absenteeism and turnover disappeared. We ended up with more staff than we needed because patients were being released, and all the staff was showing up to work. Today, that ward is closed.”

This is where I had to ask the million dollar question:
“What were you doing within yourself that caused those people to change?”

“I was simply healing the part of me that created them,” he said.

I didn’t understand.

Dr. Len explained that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life – simply because it is in your life– is your responsibility. In a literal sense the entire world is your creation.

Whew. This is tough to swallow. Being responsible for what I say or do is one thing. Being responsible for what everyone in my life says or does is quite another. Yet, the truth is this: if you take complete responsibility for your life, then everything you see, hear, taste, touch, or in any way experience is your responsibility because it is in your life.

This means that terrorist activity, the president, the economy– anything you experience and don’t like– is up for you to heal. They don’t exist, in a manner of speaking, except as projections from inside you. The problem isn’t with them, it’s with you, and to change them, you have to change you.

I know this is tough to grasp, let alone accept or actually live. Blame is far easier than total responsibility, but as I spoke with Dr. Len, I began to realize that healing for him and in ho ‘oponopono means loving yourself. If you want to improve your life, you have to heal your life. If you want to cure anyone–even a mentally ill criminal– you do it by healing you.

I asked Dr. Len how he went about healing himself. What was he doing, exactly, when he looked at those patients’ files?

“I just kept saying, ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘I love you’ over and over again,” he explained.

That’s it?

That’s it.

Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you improve yourself, your improve your world. Let me give you a quick example of how this works: one day, someone sent me an email that upset me. In the past I would have handled it by working on my emotional hot buttons or by trying to reason with the person who sent the nasty message. This time, I decided to try Dr. Len’s method. I kept silently saying, “I’m sorry” and “I love you,” I didn’t say it to anyone in particular. I was simply evoking the spirit of love to heal within me what was creating the outer circumstance.

Within an hour I got an e-mail from the same person. He apologized for his previous message. Keep in mind that I didn’t take any outward action to get that apology. I didn’t even write him back. Yet, by saying “I love you,” I somehow healed within me what was creating him.

I later attended a ho ‘oponopono workshop run by Dr. Len. He’s now 70 years old, considered a grandfatherly shaman, and is somewhat reclusive. He praised my book, The Attractor Factor. He told me that as I improve myself, my book’s vibration will raise, and everyone will feel it when they read it. In short, as I improve, my readers will improve.

“What about the books that are already sold and out there?” I asked.

“They aren’t out there,” he explained, once again blowing my mind with his mystic wisdom. “They are still in you.”

In short, there is no out there.

It would take a whole book to explain this advanced technique with the depth it deserves. Suffice it to say that whenever you want to improve anything in your life, there’s only one place to look: inside you.

“When you look, do it with love.”
