Someone asked me if I had watched "The Deep End" - the documentary about Teal Swan. I had never heard of her. I watched the trailer and as soon as I heard her speak, I knew she was full of sh*t. Took me 5-10 seconds.Then I had someone tell me the kin

I’ve been in this business a long time. Over 18 years now. But recently someone I knew and followed me on social media reached out to me and was not even sure if I even still engaged in one-on-one work. Of course, I do. Of course, I am.But that indic

Talks and Technology ::: How "Free" Leads to Money And Fulfillment
It is no secret you need to give away content in today's marketplace.
Not just because people need to be able to get a deeper sense of you and your approach to life, work, and the services you provide, but also as a result of the amount and degree of choice in the marketplace. They need to understand and "get" at a deeper level the difference between you and the other service providers out there.
It is your opportunity to distinguish yourself from others, demonstrate competence, and also provide value to those who may or may not be able to afford you.
AND, what stands in the way between you and their eyeballs, ears, and allowing them to "feel" you is your ability to present in person, or over the web, and your mastery of the tools of technology that are abundant and freely available to us in today's net-centric world.
Technology. Most practitioners I have met hate it. Most practitioners must develop some competency with it--unless and until you can just pay someone to handle it for you. BUT even then, you will want to know enough to keep your consultants honest. Take it from me.
Allow me to contribute to you by demystifying much of the "magical" and for most--overwhelming--world of technology.

Why? As always so that you can live a more integrated--a more spiritually aligned--life; integrating your spiritual purpose and your contributions to the world with your wealth acquisition strategies.
As always, I will be taking questions live (and encouraging you to ask them), so if you have questions about any of this tech stuff or presenting, be sure to be on the call.

More details:
What if you could count on a prospective client signing an extended package with you when you see them in person? When I say, "count on" on mean--with 90% certainty?
As a holistic practitioner, you are sensitive to dynamics that do not feel right and you truly want to be of service to your prospective clients. You correctly want to make sure they never feel pressured.
And they never should--they do not need to be.
At the same time, if you have been in business for yourself for any length of time, you have come to realize that if you do not assist them in overcoming their concerns and their fears or limitations in thinking, you will never be able to assist them in realizing the life they have always wanted, dreamed of, and perhaps have come to you to assist them in finally achieving. In a sense, this is your first test as their coach, guide, or service provider in the helping industries.

Imagine ... take downs and seizures of web sites by the D.O.J. without judicial review just for linking to something deemed a copyright infringement by ... a corporation that complains to the Justice Department.
What could go wrong?
I am sure you have heard of this by now: SOPA/PIPA and its assault on liberty in a misguided attempt to end piracy. Not only does it trample on the First Amendment, but it also will not work in achieving its desired and stated outcome.
Regardless, I wanted to give you a round-up from those who write about this every day as well as some humor from the web to go along with it.
First from Wired, here is an explanation of the "blackout":
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/01/websites-dark-in-revolt/
Also, Wired's in depth explanation of why they censored their own web site Wednesday, January 18th, 2012:
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/01/why-weve-censored-wired-com/
And watch the video on that page above.
In that article are also links to the why and the how of this legislation being so darned bad if you are unclear.
To lighten the mood, but to still be serious about this, and Anti-SOPA song set to "American Pie":
Now, serious:
From Wired.com ::: SOPA, Internet Regulation, and the Economics of Piracy:
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/01/sopa-piracy-costs/
Most importantly …
Don't declare victory yet. It is not enough to put black bars on stuff you post. Write your Congressperson:

Here is where you can write your Representative(s):
https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml
And hit the Senate up too:

And finally, one of the videos that started this all has been rebooted to deliver some very salient points.

One of the things that am committed to changing in the world is the painful separation of Spirit and wealth acquisition.
So many people think they have to sacrifice their spiritual life to make money. And so many people think they have to sacrifice wealth to be truly spiritual.
The truth is quite the opposite. Not only *can* we integrate them, but we must.
I think we can all agree, that if these were integrated--if people were acquiring wealth AND living a robust spiritual life in the same moment, then so much of the unethical stuff we have seen in the financial markets in the last few years would not have happened.
For our world to solve so many problems it has, not only can we integrate spiritual sensibilities and wealth acquisition ... but we must.

All perspectives have equal validity, but they lack equal *value*, as they manifest different and varying levels of depth. #integral
I wrote the above line on facebook yesterday. Comments ensued:
@chris kosley said:
"Isn't value only assignable relative to a particular goal? Why should deep be inherently more valuable than shallow?"
To which I responded:
Thanks for asking the question. Good stuff.
What you say about value relative to a goal is true in other contexts [say, if I were talking about a skill or a thing; an object. But that is not what I was talking about.
I was talking about the inherent value in perspectives.
Why should deep be inherently more valuable than shallow? The simple answer is because it contains more.
It requires more to demonstrate depth than it does to be shallow. It requires a larger embrace of the Kosmos. For instance, compassion is more valuable than anger because it requires a greater depth of development to demonstrate compassion than it does to simply get angry.
Therefore there *is* an inherent value that is greater.
Green [SD6] in Spiral Dynamics will not see this: they believe in flatland; all perspectives have equal value and it is all about cultural constructs and no culture is any "better" than any other culture. Of course they fail to realize that this perspective itself is a very high/deep level of development and stages below it do not share the sentiment.
Yellow realizes the folly in this, and its inherent falseness; Yellow [SD7] once again is fine with holarchies [stops judging them as bad or claiming they do not exist] as they are naturally occurring all around us.
And that is one of the charachteristics that truly distinguishes 1st Tier consciousness from 2nd Tier in the model. In other words, what distinguishes Integral.
