You make me smile brother...

The question I would most like to ask you is, why at times has referring to this work as &quot;spiritual&quot; scared the crap out of you? What is it from your personal context that begets the fear when referring to it as spiritual?

Innate to the technology is a diving movement into the realm of the &quot;inner&quot; world on a part of the individual. It just so happens that the &quot;inner&quot; world is where &quot;spirit&quot; exists for each individual. In removing the constraints that has blocked an individual from embracing a deeper sense of &quot;self&quot;, that removal of constraints undoubtedly aligns the individual more closely to that innate &quot;spirit&quot;, thus begetting the inherent &quot;spirituality&quot; of the technology. 

There is no need to fear that which &quot;is,&quot; for that which &quot;is&quot; will remain to be so regardless of our fear of it. The fear only arises because we have agreed to the context that allows the fear to arise. 

Kudos to you on opening up.

Peace
&amp;
Love

		<description>Inspiring post Michael,

Highest values - feeling called to action - inspiration - honour - love - purpose &amp; passion...  

I think that these feelings and dynamics arise from the realm of the spirit - the spirit is where it all begins. Spirit is who we are.

Unfortunately in many cases the spirit is also the first thing to get supressed during our childhood.
We grow up completely disconected from our spirit (highest values, purpose etc) and take actions that are not in line what whats really important to us - this generates negative reflections of self, leaving us feeling small and weak - the cycle just continues - and it won&#039;t stop until we connect back to spirit. Until we connect to our authentic selves.

I see the VF tools as spiritual practice; I&#039;ve been able to reconnect to spirit ( through vision) - reconnect to feelings (through honour), and now increasingly more so I am left with powerful self reflections. 

I think your right to reflect on your choice of words. I had a dialogue with my partner last week about the word &#039;try&#039; - we agreed to substitute it from our language with the word &#039;will&#039;. Result = far more responsbility and action. 

Word choice is so important and one of the biggest challenges involved with moving this material to the world. Alot of friends have asked me to explain what VF is and I try not to go down the &#039;spiritual path&#039; as they automatically begin with &#039;If he is making money from it he is not a true spiritual teacher&#039; and &#039;does he base his teaching on buddhist principles?&#039; 

I describe it as technology that reconnects us to our human potential. You can see the look on peoples faces when you say the word &#039;technology&#039; - its as if they get an image of their brains being cut open and microchips inserted inside or something.

I&#039;ve found that talking about what it is doesnt come even close to practical experience. I walk people through the ICD instead.

Have a great weekend!</description>
