Thanks for the compliment Friend but I want you to keep something in mind. You are just as enlightened as anyone else on this planet. I may have some strength in certain areas of my life just like you have in others.

I am on a journey and had some experiences that have led me to the work I do and all I want to do is pass along whatever it is I have learned and experienced so that it can serve others. Not so that I may be considered a guru but so that I can help others see the guru within them.

I will contact paypal to see why that is. I will have the videos in DVD in the next three months so once they are available I can then ship them to you. You just need to figure out the equivalent in currency and I will take care of the shipping cost. Again, this is about three months from now unless you are able to access paypal for now. I will be changing merchant accounts if I run into this kind situations again.

In a way, you have come to a very powerful realization. That is the same realization everyone, myself included, comes to once we get to that space that feels empty.

In other words, all the challenges you may have faced and may be facing have led you to that truth. Therefore, bless and love your situation and circumstances for they are very slowly leading you to your own light.

As you start setting your intention, NOT focusing on where you are but where you would like to see happening in your life, you'll begin to draw into your space more and more circumstances, opportunities and synchronicities that will assist you in moving in the direction of your intended desire(s).

Because really, meditation is about helping you quiet some of the noise that is not allowing you to hear your inner voice. And yes, is a process that may take some time, specially if you are not used to it. But just stay with it. Soon you'll see that it will become a regular part of your life.

Log on to this site: http://www.cwg.org and order either from them or Amazon.com his book entitled Conversations With God Book #1. Neale Donald Walsch's book answers all of these questions about God. I strongly recommend it.

I would suggest to stop expecting because even the expectation of things add more stress to the situation. The key is to surrender. Surrender to the process.

In other words, as you keep getting closer and closer to your Creator which is all loving and wanting to give you everything your desire, you'll begin to understand that everything is working together for your highest good.

I don't meditate expecting anything. I use meditation as a way to help me clear my thoughts, bring some peace while it also allows me to listen more closely to my desires. Let me ask you, have you noticed that when you are in the shower, all these amazing ideas begin to flood your brain? Why is that? Because for some few moments you are able to let go and be in the moment. With meditation, at least for me, when I find myself in that space, I usually need to have a pen and paper handy because ideas and inspirations begin to flow while I'm in that space. The irony of it all is, if I plan of meditating for answers, they usually don't come. Because my brain is in expectation mode as opposed to receptive mode.

Again Friend, it is a process. And the first times you try it can seem a little frustrating. But usually after few weeks you start getting the feel for it. Even when the mind is busy, just being able to at least relax the body is a sign of progress.

Thank you so much for your compliment and here is what I did when I was facing health challenges. I said to myself, "God, if it is my time, it's my time. However, I am going to surrender to this process and be open and receptive to the work I am here to do." And went from there.

Remember, all we want to do is love and be loved. And when it comes to our purpose, simply find ways to be of service to others.

As an artist, set your intention to find ways to share your gift with others. Always come from that space. And keep an eye on the opportunities and things that are being drawing to you as a result of your focus.

As a result of you doing this kind of research, you will be presented with many opportunities. And as you experience more of your own light, things simply start to change in your environment. Because remember, we don't change our circumstances from the outside in. We do it from the inside out.

In other words, your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. And the more you change your inner world, your outside world will begins to reflect back to you the image you are creating for yourself and your life. Dr. Wayne Dyer says is best. He said, "When you change the way you look at things, that things you look at, change." This applies to all areas of your life, financial, health, business, etc.

Well, I hope these few words might have helped. And if you feel I have in some way helped, only up to you, I would ask to help me pass the message along to the world.
