A beautiful analogy. I would venture to add that the coffee beans are our physical state, being roasted and ground by the experiences we encounter – all infused in the water – our everflowing spirit.

Chris,

I don’t know if you are for real, and I do know that I have several books in me. I know what you mean about the writing coming “through” you. For thirty years I’ve written marketing material, technical data sheets, newsletter articles, speeches, etc. I don’t know how to ask for and receive money for my work, and my successes in writing have mostly been through increases in my own businesses (marketing), and accolades from others (these are nice, and don’t pay the bills).

Here is the result of spending a few minutes on a fun writing exercise presented by Early To Rise about a year ago. It was called “The Three Sentence Story”. I liked the exercise because, unlike most of ETR’s work (which is too wordy), I subscribe to Abe Lincoln’s economy of words philosophy. I have much more material, and am looking forward to learning what your angle is before spewing forth any more.
I LOVE TO WRITE

“When I purchased a small resort town motel in 1988, it was just another investment to add to my successful, yet still very “green”, part time real estate investment experience. When I sold my “investment” in 2004, it was after an earthquake, two divorces, a mid-life crisis, and a wealth of experiences that could fill volumes. In the process I’ve learned how to laugh, to cry, to love, to live, and most of all, how to recognize the wild ride we call life, in every event.”

Looking forward to your reply,
Michael Beveridge

If one avoids the negative and the toxic in life, surround yourself with positive like minded people, stay focused, be persistent and consistent, your life will become an amazing journey. Never, never give up on your dreams and goals, no matter what your age is. Feel free to post a comment or just google me.

To Chris,This story begins when I had a dream that was as real as you choose to believe. To me, it is real. I guess for a while a told this story to many, but not until I was traveling with my sister in Costa Rica and after I told her the story, That it hit me hard… she ask me what do I mean by “ I have a lot to do” The question is always on my mind, and has been ever since.

The Story… It happened about 3 years ago in 2007 late one night while I was sleeping in my home in a town called Dahlonega, Ga. I awoke with sweat pouring down my face and tingling in my left arm. It was numb and thought I was having a heart attack. I ran to the bath room and looked in the mirror and saw the face of an old man, I know I was looking at me but could not understand why I looked so old. The sweat was still pouring down my face and my body seemed to be without movement, like I was paralyzed, just staring in the mirror. I was alone, scared and started to cry. The fear of having a heart attack or of dying was in the mirror staring me down as if it was telling me its time to go. I wasn’t ready. Go where a wondered. Where would I go when I die? I ask God, please don’t take me now; I have a lot to do! I am not sure what that meant at the time, but I did think that there was a reason I said that and hear were my thoughts.

The Dream: It’s hard to remember in detail but this is the best of my recollection. I was floating above the world just coasting along. It felt like I was just a few hundred feet above the planet. The first thing I noticed that there were no cars, roads, homes, buildings or people. The planet was empty of any human life form and objects. The planet before man. The beauty of it all was surprising. I knew I was dreaming, but it was more real then any others.

The first vision was a tsunami coming towards land. This I must have recalled from the tsunami that took place a few years prior in Indonesia and killed over 200,000 people. I watched the giant wave roll right onto the shoreline for miles on end and continue inland. It washed in like a small wave does but continued into the vast land and then as simple as it came in, it retreated back to the sea, taking along all that was meant for the sea. We may even call it survival of the oceans. How beautiful it was doing exactly what it was meant to do.

The second event was over the mid west watching a huge tornado come down upon the earth, twisting and turning. Moving as it pleases and seemed to know exactly where it headed without any other force stopping it. Again just doing what it was suppose to do.

The third event I was over Costa Rica watching a volcano erupt and the lava roll all the way to the sea. Watching it become solid form when it hit the seas edge. What a sight to see…

The forth event was on the east coast of Florida and a hurricane was coming ashore as the winds blew and a continuous heavy down fall of rain. I could see the vastness as I watched from above it covered the whole state. I watched this sight with amazement. How it just simple made its way across the land.

After all my visions from above the planet without any human form, I realized that the world works just fine without humans. Why is it so hard for us to see that it is doing exactly what it’s suppose to…Taking care of itself and using its powers to do just that. When I awoke to a dieing old man in front of a mirror and I said, please don’t take me now, I have a lot to do!

What did that mean? To be like these events? To clean up? To??? I go back to the visions that God called upon me to see and to relate my life to His. Please don’t take me now, I have alot to do!

I am a 48 year old young man who is attempting to live his dreams. I am a single parent of a 15 year old daughter, because her mom decided to commit suicide in 2004. So now it is me & her. Let me share alittle bit about my past. I grew-up with only a mom and 4 sisters. My mom divorced my dad when I was 5 years old because he would beat her almost daily and the last straw was when he stabbed her. Well long story short I ended up involved in a life of gangs, drugs, and incarceration. I was a heroin addict for over 20 years. The last time I used heroin was feburary 10, 2004 and the last time I was in prison was 2005. Since then I have been a responsible parent, citizen, and human-being. The reason I tell you all these personal things is because I want you to understand the life I lived, not so you will feel sorry but so that you can tell me where all the successful people are that have gone through what I have gone through. I know they are out there!? Please help me find them so that I can find a mentor! I know this is a friendly universe and I will succeed… so that others will succeed. Thanks

rayedward,

There are lot of peopl elike you in this world, who have bitter experiences through ou tthei rlives.
However, only very few like you have the right attitude or courage to face it again -Understand that, every breath we are taking is a new one, every moment in life is a new one. So, no need to keep all the burdens of your past with you – I hope you know the common advise for travellers – “Less Luggage, More Comfort”. Our life is also a journey and so, travel with less luggage. throw away all unwatned luggages of your past experiences.

Our life should be like the journey of a river – since I am from India, we tell the example of River Ganges, which starts from the Himalayas, flow through all types of lands and ends in ocean – A river will never stop till it reaches the ocean. When small stones and other obstacles try to stop it, the river will take the obstacle alongiwht it. If a too big block like a mountain i sin between, it will find out another easy way to flow and continue its journey. If a big block or rock is in between, it still flow and through the side of the rock and continuously massage the rock gently with its hands – slowly and gradually the river dissolves its obstacle into pieces – even the obstacle rock will not feel that it has been destroyed b the river – so gently would be the massages

Forgive to all fellwo beings who have ill treated you. Love your daughter and live for her – make a promise to yorself that you will guide her to become the best girl in the world. Live every moment for your loving daughter – though we didnt see each other, I can see your daughter, who loves you too much and depends on you for guidance, and a real angel who had been sent to you by the Almighty GOD to lead a successful life .

with prayers for both of you,

Damodaran Potty

This is very lovely Chris. I hope you don’t mind me using the story for a friends funeral. I just lost a dear friend who never believed he deserved a good coffee cup- so he lived a simple life out of those beliefs.
Nonetheless, he still loved deeply and generously.
I will relate that during our little service to him.
Thank you for creating it.

Yes it is very important to forgive even a wicked child moslester who still denies what he did and some people make excuses for that person. People think I have not forgiven because I talk about it sometimes. However, I do not have the hurt and pain I use to feel in the past. So I have forgiven. I think people get it wrong just because you talk about somehthing bad that happened to you, does not mean you have not forgiven. Talking for me is therapy – it helps me to move on, and I can help others who went thru what I and so many ohter people went thru as little inocent children new to this world. When something like this happens to you when you are very young, you do blame yourself – so it is true you have to learn how to forgive yourself. I know what I did, I listen to regular music it’s my therapy also something the music spoke yo my problems and helped me overcome. Like LOVE CHILD by Diana Ross that’s the gospel according to me Shanna. I also depend on Jesus he was always with me thru the stroms in my life. You can’t always depend on man – but, you can depend on Jesus. He carry all the way and that’s why I’m the nice person I am today. Thank you for the tought time in my life.

Hi Chris,

I am a 78 yr. old widow, great grandmother, grandmother, and mother of three adult children. I have also been a social worker, mental heath counselor, Jungian cross-cultural Dream Analyst . I have had a mercurial rise in my profession as a therapist/healer, administrator in hospitals, community organizations and in private practice. My breakthrough came about after having non-Hodgkins disease, a near dear-death, transfiguration experience and ascension into the celestial realms. This was to be the first of my eleven other lucid dreaming experiences that would expand my consciousness to decode the sacred stories in the Bible, Pali Canon, Bhagada Gita and other indigenous legends. To this date, I know of a just a few (Eg. Dr. J. J. Hurtak of Keys of Enoch) that have similar direct, revelatory experiences (gnosis) which is quite different from channeling. (See website that is presently a ‘work in progress’ after 2 major wipeouts. Am reformatting to make it simpler. Can’t connect to other links unless you open the link to Obama’s New Frontier of Hope.)

As a graduating seminary student, I was chosen as best minister for a 10 minute spontaneous, speech. And many people have encouraged me to write my books including my dreams. Most people want ‘The Mantle of Grace’- a love story to be made into a movie. (Family poems/letters describe more). Have been to writing groups and conferences.

WHAT IS MY PROBLEM? I can’t write succinctly and clearly. I need to simplify everything about me -especially my writings. I have a computer overload with too much information. Your workbook sounds it will be helpful, but am not sure if other info is not redundant to my own insights, hindsights and foresights regarding expanding states of consciousness and spirituality. Please advise.

MY BACKGROUND: I was raised in Hawaii by immigrant parents who migrated from Okinawa and spoke Okinawan to each other. I had seven other siblings above and below me and we spoke pidgin English that was scattered with Japanese, Okinawan, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Filipino, and Chinese expressions.

I went through a private boarding, college preparatory school that helped me a lot, but I still had to take remedial English composition in college. I also suffered from ADHD which complicated my ability to write and think clearly. Although I was on honor roll both in Japanese and English schools, it was not because I could write, but because I had a sharp memory and right answers. At the University, I did not have the right attitude or need to excel. Plagued with intrusive memories of my father abusing my mother in a psychologically, dysfunctional marriage, I dropped out with a 1.5 grade point average because I could not concentrate or focus to develop a purpose in life to help others when I was feeling empty inside and needing nurturance and love. After a ‘puppy love’ marriage with 2 small children, my husband abandoned us in California and I got derailed from my comfort zone and co-dependency.

Poverty was my best teacher. And the love for my children gave me a purpose for living. It compelled me to dig deep and examine myself. Saddled with guilt, shame and poor self-esteem, I harbored the secret of my divorce alone. I did not dare burden my problems on my parents when I was responsible for creating my own problems. I did not blame my parents nor my spouse for the dire circumstances I was in. The situation demanded that I take responsibility for my weaknesses and failures. Instead, I looked to my parents, the 442nd boys and Joan of Arc as my heroes who handled their personal, interracial and national problems with pure, uncontaminated ’samurai’ spirit. All this positive thinking (milk teachings) helped me vibrate on the same unconditional love frequency of my future husband Dean who truly became my soul mate. (See family poems/letters in webite).

After, I turned fifty in the year of the Jubilee, I was being challenged with greater issues beyond my love for spouse, family, religion and culture. I became a widow, I was being challenged to travel all over the four hemispheres to fully integrate the common bond of spiritual values across all religions and indigeneous cultures all over the world.

Like everybody else, I have an amazing story to tell about all my trials, tribulations and adventures guided by Ascended Masters of different traditions through dreams and visions. My conflicts regarding my personal, professional, spiritual, medical, educational, national and international issues were all resolved through dreams and visions (lucid dreamings). Carl Jung says, “Pleroma (fullness of being) is the soul’s true homeland. Only those who have found the way home can show it to others.” How can your system help me to leave a Legacy of Love to my children, family, friends and globally in a clear succinct way like the gifted story teller you are ?

Sincerely,

Doris/peacemaker

Doris – thanks so much for sharing your story, your path, your challenges and where you’re headed.

To answer your question directly: My system does have specific resources for bringing words onto paper in a form that is more publicly readable. The step-by-step workbook helps with that, and there’s several chapters in the guidebook devoted to the process of bringing life to the stories of our life.

That said, I know the program isn’t for everybody which is why I have a money back guarantee.

My recommendation:

Don’t take my word for any of this. Have a critical eye, and follow your curiosity.
