At a life transforming seminar
I attended, the instructor
reminded us that the Universe
does not work on time it works on
"timing". When people have dreams
and find themselves "in the right
place at the right time", the
Universe is simply orchestrating
everything in divine order to
ensure that wishes manifest in an
effortless manner.
We have been conditioned to
believe that we have to work hard
and struggle, yet the universe
serves as a perfect model
regarding how life really
operates. To give you a more
concrete idea on how this
knowledge can be put into
practice, I would like to share
with you a personal life
experience which I hope will
inspire you to move in the
direction of your dreams.
My life has been a stream of
ups and downs. My spiritual
journey began around 1987. I
experienced many miracles yet at
the same time I hit low points.
After a series of events I
experienced financial challenges.
A dear friend called me out of
the blue and asked me if I wanted
to help at his business. This
phone call helped me overcome my
financial challenges.
I get an unexpected call from
Marilyn, another dear friend
living in California, whom I
hadn't talked to in a while. She
said she had an extra ticket for
a three day event that would take
place in Orlando, FL the last
weekend of May 2004. The extra
ticket had been for one of her
customers in Orlando. Since her
customer could not make it, she
thought of me.
That particular weekend I had
a comedy show scheduled, however,
something inside of me said that
I should attend the course
instead. Well, I attended the
course, and my whole life
shifted. I was inspired to write
my first book and continue my
spiritual journey. (For more
information on my first book
visit: www.TheRadicalKid.com.)
Within a few short months my
financial challenges lessened and
many miracles took place in the
form of many incredible changes
and opportunities. Around May
2005, it was time for me to move
back to California. I knew that
was where my heart was. I was a
little hesitant to move because
real estate and rent are so high
in California. Although my
finances were okay, by any
rational standards, moving to
California would not have been
the smartest economical move.
Of course, that's what happens
when we listen to the mind and
not the heart. We must remember
that the mind sees the obstacles
while the heart sees the
possibilities. This reminds me of
a great quote I once heard,
"those who see the invisible can
do the impossible."
Back to the story. In Orlando,
the place I lived in was not
conducive to my well-being
because of one of my roommates. I
did not feel at home. I felt my
energy was affected and I knew I
had to leave. At first I thought
of moving to New Mexico, not
necessarily because I have been
there and liked it but because I
felt that it was a little more
cost effective and I could still
feel that spiritual connection
with the mountains. But my heart
was really in California. I
wanted to be in contact with the
ocean. So there I was. I didn't
want to live in Florida. The
place I was in did not feel like
home, and my dream to move to
California felt scary because the
financial situation did not make
sense. And honestly, I didn't
want to end up living in some
kind of a dump while I was
getting my feet back on the
ground.
So regardless of those fears
and limiting rationalizations,
what did I do? I told my roommate
that I would be leaving by July
30 and that I was relocating to
the west coast. I then started
doing my inner work -
visualization. I saw myself in a
beautiful place in California
overlooking the ocean. Now here
is the thing, I didn't know where
in California to move. I knew I
wanted something I felt
spiritually connected to. And I
wanted to move to a place where I
felt wealth.
I didn't want to live in a
place that was uninspiring. And
of course, I wanted to be close
to the ocean. What came to mind?
San Diego.
I decided San Diego was where
I was going to live. I was very
skeptical about telling people
about my move because I did not
want them to start giving me
suggestions, or advice, or even
express their own opinion about
housing prices, etc. I did not
want to feel like I had to
justify anything. All I knew was,
I wanted to move, and I would be
taken care of. During that time I
am not going to deny that fears
tried to take over my mind.
However, I kept my focus on my
inner work - visualization.
On July 17 to 21, 2005, I
attended a seminar in the
beautiful mountains of Beaumont,
California. I flew out a few days
early to spend a little time in
what I knew was going to be my
future home. I visited my cousin
and some friends. I drove through
San Diego, and even when I did
not see where I intended to live,
I just knew that I wanted to
relocate there. I told everybody
that I was moving to San Diego,
even when some of those fears
would come up.
Then I took the seminar. Right
there and then, my decision to
move solidified in my gut. Let me
share a few things I learned from
the seminar which cannot compare
to the incredible four and a half
days experience that simply took
my life to a whole new level.
Here are few little distinctions
that helped me make the decision
to move to California.
Most people believe that
commitment restricts freedom. The
truth is commitment does not
restrict your freedom. Only
"indecision" restricts freedom.
Why? Because when you are
indecisive, you are pulled in two
opposite directions at the same
time. You become immobilized.
In Blair Singer's book titled
"Sales Dogs", Blair reminds us we
are better off making a decision
and correcting later than not
making a decision at all. By
making a decision we are putting
energy into motion. Now, here is
the beauty of commitments. When
you commit 100%, not 99.9% or 90%
but 100%, you bring clear energy
into your desired result. You
will begin to attract into your
space all the necessary resources
needed to help you attain your
dream.
Another wonderful piece of
wisdom from this seminar was the
message that when you Look at the
universe you see things and
space. Most people look at things
with space around it. Makes sense
right? Think about it. When you
look at the world around you what
do you see? Cars, houses,
mountains, people, trees,
objects, etc. Get a hold of this.
The deliberate creator or better
yet, "miracle maker" looks at the
empty space with things around
it. Why? Because in the space
between things is the open canvas
to create whatever reality you
desire. The things that we see
are simply creations in that
empty space.
When people make the mistake
of looking at things to make
their decisions, they look at
"what is", instead of "what it
could be", they limit their
potential. If I were looking at
my "what was" financially, the
move to California might not have
made any sense. Again, most
people look at the visible to
create the possible instead of
looking at the invisible in order
to create what appears to be the
impossible -which is actually the
possible within the realm of
possibilities.
As I focused on San Diego, I
always kept my awareness in the
empty space. I knew that
everything would work out just
fine.
Are you ready for the miracle?
The day after the training I
attempted to head back to
Orlando. I had only one week to
pack before my journey to
California. I had two tours lined
up on the East coast as a stand
up comedian. During the seminar I
received a few calls from a
booking agent out of Kentucky. He
wanted to add a few more dates to
my first tour. That was a good
thing. From California the
traveling expenses from the west
coast to the east coast would
increase. When living in Florida,
the only travel cost I had was
gasoline. Now I would need to add
airfare, car rental and gasoline.
My flight to Orlando was
delayed to the point where I
would miss my connecting flight.
The airline offered to fly me on
an alternate route that would
include an overnight flight. I
asked if they could just put me
in a hotel for the evening and
I'd pick up the next morning
flight. They gratefully did that
and gave me few vouchers for
meals. The next morning my flight
was overbooked. I volunteered my
seat and received a $200 flight
voucher. The next flight was also
overbooked and I received a $400
voucher. The next one was also
overbooked. I ended up receiving
a total of $1000 in flying
vouchers and the airline paid for
another night at the hotel with
more meal vouchers. The $1000 of
flight vouchers took care of all
my flying expenses for my
upcoming comedy tours in the
mid-west and on the east coast.
In Orlando, I picked up my
mail which included a letter from
an investment group asking me if
I was willing to sell my piece of
land that I owned in Florida. The
land was going to be auctioned by
the state because the taxes were
not paid.
Let me give you a little
history on that property. I
inherited this property from my
Grandmother back in the early
90's. Around 1997, I was homeless
and filed for bankruptcy. I gave
the property to the county
because I could not pay the
taxes. End of story, right? EIGHT
YEARS LATER, just a few days
after the seminar, a few days
before I would move to
California, after I received
$1,000 worth of travel vouchers,
I get this letter not from the
state but from an independent
company (who tracked me down God
knows how), offering me $5,000
and willing to pay all the taxes
if I would sell the property to
them.
First, I was taken a little
bit by surprise. I thought this
must be some kind of a joke. The
county's last address for me was
in West Los Angeles, California
dating back to 1997. Second, I
started to wonder why someone
would want to offer me $5,000 in
cash for that lot. I called the
county office with the lot number
and all the information regarding
the property contained in the
letter sent to me by the
investment company. The county
office told me that the lot was
still under my name and that it
would go to a tax auction pretty
soon. I asked what the tax debt
was and they said $901.00. Can
you guess what I did? I paid it
on the spot! Then I contacted a
few real estate agents in the
local area to let me know what
the current market value of the
property was. Are you ready for
this? The actual fair market
value was $47,000.
Talk about timing. Do the
miracles stop there? NO! It gets
better.
Let's recap before the big
finale!
- I wanted to move to CA.
(Everyone said the living
expenses were very high).
- I wanted a place on the
beach. (Rent would be $2,000
or more, or a house probable
in the millions).
- I wanted to be in a very
spiritual environment.
- I had a date set up and I
was moving no matter what.
(This showed my
commitment).
- Also this time I had some
money in the bank and I was
worth over $47,000 because of
my unexpected reclaiming of
property ownership.
- And I had over $1,000 in
FREE travel vouchers.
I left for San Diego with a
U-Haul and all my belongings. It
took me five days to get to
California from Florida. On the
third day, I got a hold of Dan
who offered to let me stay in his
house in San Diego while I got
myself situated. I didn't want to
be dependent on someone, plus,
there was the concern of what if
I don't find something and I
stayed there too long. However, I
kept using the tools I learned in
the seminar and continued to
focus on the empty space,
grateful for a beautiful place in
San Diego, California while at
the same time I detached myself
completely from the outcome.
Are you ready? The day before
my arrival, I checked my email
from the hotel. Look at the
forwarded email I received from
my friend Lynn:

cozy house to share

I moved into a beautiful house
(worth over 2 MILLION DOLLARS)
overlooking the ocean, in front
of a beautiful park, in a very
exclusive neighborhood, and my
rent was far below what anyone
would have expected.

Maybe the place was not in San
Diego, California, but in life,
it is good to be flexible. The
place is in Capistrano Beach,
California, just one hour north
of San Diego and one hour south
of Los Angeles. And guess what?
It is just 10 MINUTES away from
my cousin in San Clemente.
The beauty of it all is I had
NOTHING TO DO with all those
events. I kept my focus on the
empty space, the space of pure
potentiality, released myself
from any outcomes, and trusted
that the universe would handle
everything in divine
"TIMING".
