I enjoyed hearing these ideas again and see how they have had a positive effect in my life and in the lives of those around me. I also had a wonderful mother who, even though she is late, influences me with her courage and honour every moment of each day. Her challenges were great and she was an heroic and honorable model for us, her children. I hope do do the same for my children. Thanks for your work Michael.

[...] Prosperity: What is it to you? When I think of prosperity, I think of my family and the people in my life. It may sound cliche, but the relationships I have are what make me feel prosperous–so much more than money or material things ever could. If I lost everything, but still had the close relationships with the people I love, I’d feel prosperous every day. My trip to Kenya in 2006 awakened me to just how much prosperity we’re lacking in the U.S. The Kenyans I met seemed to have an abundance of time–even though they lacked so many of the time-saving contraptions we have here. And there was always time for relationships and being with other people. Life was slower, people seemed happier. Those who didn’t seemed happier, seemed to feel their pain more. They didn’t have all the numbing distractions we have here. In so many ways they seemed to be more prosperous than so many of the people I knew back home. I grew up in a large family with parents who showered me with love. I suppose I’m used to feeling as though I’ve had an abundance of love and people who love me in my life. So, in that sense, I’ve never known poverty. The work I do in this world also gives me a very rich sense of prosperity. The VisionForce iStand methodology brings down the walls of judgment that keep us separate and generates a profound sense of honor, love and compassion among people. Having experienced the kind of relationships that are possible with everyone when we transcend judgment and live in a space of honor for self and others, and having seen how many of the seemingly happiest, most successful people lack these kinds of relationships–I know that so much more prosperity awaits all of us, all of humanity. We have the courage to love and connect at a much deeper level, what’s been missing, in my opinion, is the understanding and methodologies to easily generate deep compassion, love and honor even in the most difficult of circumstances. So many of us are compassionate when in prayer, meditation or reflection, but then often when we engage with others, who disagree or compete with us, we lose all signs of spirituality, enlightenment or wisdom. The iStand methodology gives individuals the practical skills, understandings and tools to transcend the walls that keep us separate, and fighting against one another to achieve our individual notions of prosperity. A key in creating prosperity for all in our lifetime, as I see it, is going to be learning the real-world skills to transcend the emotional walls that keep us from collaborating together to create more and more prosperity for all. The limitation is neither the capacity of our creative human intelligence nor the depth and courage of the human spirit. The limitation is in our know-how. The next frontier of technology that will liberate our full potentialities as creative beings is human technology (new ways of thinking, communicating, collaborating and creating). If we have the know-how and technology to end so many of the world’s crises, including extreme poverty, and we have the inherent courage and love to rise to the occasion, why aren’t we? Many people would blame human nature. But having worked with so many people using the simple yet powerful “human technology” we practice at VisionForce, and having seen so many people access far greater levels of courage, love and vision than they ever thought possible–I don’t blame human nature. The human spirit never ceases to amaze me… all we need to learn are ever greater ways to unleash it. A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by a special woman about one of the powerful aspects of the iStand methodology. The audio is here. Leave a Comment [...]

Inner power, show it to people. Dare to LIVE.
Overcome your limitations ( fear, obsticals) and look for your talent and exploit it!
Some are jalous of that ‘ openess’, WHY??

This is my feeling, till our next meeting.

Not sure what a Uri is…
Will revisit and learn more but that life holds upsets and to hold
honor is to so not leave out of the story is what came up for
me. Will later check out your mothers book and revisit your
blog and this interview.

Most interested in that blog in regarding Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
and the forgotten campaign.

Thanks for your work Michael….it’s planetary.
Keep on keeping on….someday I will take the time to take
on your work myself…my insight is to use it when the
“Los Charales” vision cafe becomes a reality. When a
youth picks being a leader and not a gangster he will have
to use this emotion of honor in his own personal story.
It spoke to me but as always have lot’s undone.

So now to check out your blog.
In regard to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
