Michael's Journal | August 13th, 2006

Michael Skye here with a personal audio message from my phone. This
is the first of many efforts to become more transparent with you. I
reveal personal details about my life and the last 10 years of my
journey leading up to VisionForce. (this 37 minute audio is not the
greatest audio quality, but I hope you’ll find it worth your time)
Enjoy, and please post your comments.

    Thaks for spiling it, MIchael! There are many parallels in our finacial experience. Since first being inspired to write about spiritual evolution and earlthly happiness seven years ago, I have withstood great financial challenge.
    I have learned much in the process of moving from Dreaming Visionairy to Impactful Visionary. I am still in the middle of that process.
    My truth. Not preaching: When the focus is on surviving, thriving is not possible.
    Accepting the reality of the prsesnt moment can be combined with the paradoxical prayer of seeing the vision as accomplished or smoothly flowing.
    And the other thing is just TRUST.
    Beyond that, the way to reach kindred hearts is accelerated by doing exactly as you have done: getting real with people and then aligning yourself with those who can relate and are touched by your vison.
    Would love to explore this in more depth with you, along with some straegies I am considering that may be useful to you.

    Hi Michael I am Leeda. I have never bought anything from you, but you have inspired my thoughts many times over the yrs that I “lurked” in the fringes of your work. I want to step out of the shadows to thank you for this display of personal courage. Courage is not really the right word, is it? It takes courage to be privately vulnerable.. But it takes more than courage, it takes faith, to be publicly vulnerable.. “Faith” that what you have to give is more important than who you are, or how you are perceived by others. I find your self sacrificing commitment to to your visionary goals inspirational.
    Now, about how to, as we say in TX,
    “Git er Done” Have you considered the Life Coach model. I hate the concept because it seems so commercial..but like you say, you need resources and life coaching is very much the vogue right now. Now if you could set up life coaching as a multilevel marketing opportunity.. hmmm. OK back to the shadows.
    Thanks again Michael

    What your company’s philosophy?

    Philosophy? What’s that got to do with it?

    As I’m sure you know every person has an implicit philosophy or belief system. And, as people we react most passionately to those who either mirror or “attack” our belief system.

    Think about it. When we react emotionally to something, it’s usually an attack on our beliefs… whether by word or action.

    And, emotion is what drives us to act… whether that’s a good thing or not… it’s a reality.

    So, how do you best connect with and inspire people?

    Develop your company “philosophy” and proclaim it loudly. Those who mirror or closely mirror those beliefs will gather to you. Those who vehemently oppose those beliefs will attack you.

    Then, you simply design profitable systems to benefit both from those who gather and those who attack you.

    But, you’ve got to get them to act in some way first. You do it through emotions and belief.

    Maybe, you knew all that. Don’t know. But, I think that’s your best bet.

    Then, whatever medium you choose to proclaim your beliefs… your message will be effective in generating response.

    Hope that helps!

    Hi Michael,
    hank-you so much for the most Profound Stance
    on behalf of Humanity. I deeply got it and I do beleive
    that within the Power of Honor their is no question lift off…
    The dirrection of the course of lift off can be determined by the door that is open and who walks in….
    The door into Honor rises everytime as you say one stays
    true to the personal integridy to oneself, ones Vision….
    This staying true to this loyality of oneself is like
    Vision casting. Is it the power of the Vision or the casting that launches reality to arrive, show-up or do we become
    the reflection of The Living Spirit within that reveals our true selves as Spirit indeed to all. In this connection We walk in the sight of our Vision as a reality in which we come from.

    I have got the Wind of the Vision and I cast the streams into reality and walk the footprints into the sands of time as being very real….Living in this reality your audio message heard in this communication is like reaching the door that is open and with that their is no limitation onto the possibility of what is possible when people walk through an open door.
    I beleive the break-through is in opening the door. I think the conditonality of most is we knock beforeentering in someones space however now you have opened a door saying enter in. I think this action creates breakthrough at a level maybe yet not percieved but setsinto motion a reality of motion. This
    extends the range of Vision….Acclerates motion….
    Here is a favorite quote…..
    “A man might frame & let loose a star, to rolein itsorbit, and yet not have doneso memorable a thing before God as He who lets a golden orbed thought to roll through the generation of tim.” HW Beecher
    All in all….I was contenplating much on a comment of another topic you wereconversing on and this is waht I came up with…..Iwas awakened in the middle of the twilite morn with the zealious of a milllion stars and thought….Yes,,Yes…this is it……Michael has to go on nation wide television/sattelite….And I thought yes..on interview shows…and at once millions will hear you and than flock to the Vision force site…It will be a streamm…..Like Larry King live…..Barbara Walters…..The View….and interviewtalk shows arround the country…..
    that is it…..And it can be done…..
    Here is a game plan…..It’s time to get on a talk show……They…the talk show Hosts would love…the topic….the Vision and The Vision of Honor…
    I want to join the team and create miracles that is like launching
    the exceleration force of Vision force as a Idea who’s time has come…and who’s Vision in motion exclerates the commitment beyond the wonder of how…..I think when we get got up in the agreement that reality will show up as the door is open…..Opening the door draws rise to untold possibility. It is a “Gathering of Eagles” or a Gathering of The Phoenix Bird that naturally rises because it comes from The Mountain of Vision…..

    Speaking of a mountain of Vision…..The most extraordinary happening just occured in my range of Vision..and you will not beleive…..It arrived our of, of course VF101….and this HOnor Presence….I just have thisdigital picture I took of this pink cloud that was moving above me and than over me and I thought for sure…yep Iwas going up in a pink ascension..Well I took these 12 digital pictures and guess how they turned out. The artistry of the pink clouds was like a artisticcreation of a artist painting depicting the Luminious Mysteries of God..
    Well….it is a phot unbeknowence to many and remarkable….So….showed it to the priest from India no less and he says take it to the Vatican…for it is real….
    so I got to thinking yes, yes…yesI got to share this on nation wide tv…like pax…It’s a Miracle….or somewhere cuz it is a one in a billion….

    Now regrding you at the same time I was thinking I thought yes, yes,,,yes nation wide tvlike Larry King live and the streams of Vision started rolling in my soul and awake I have been for days….I know the connection is out their and can be set…..Once I start makeing phone calls anything could happen. For me I just need the agreement to fly likethewind and I amoff and running…..But their seems to be this like you say the connection contact has to be this open door that says ok…enter in….The sky is the limit…go for it…I knowif know one say go I just contenplat movement but when someone say yes, yes gofor it than we seem to launch each others Vision.
    The connection power is in this permision to be launching power for each other. The platformis the VisionForce and the launching is the yes, yes go ahead….We breakthrough our conditioning that says no to why not to good idea to the open door to yes, yes…..
    We need each others permission to create in someone elses space……Sort of like not to violate Vision….So….we each hold cuz we have this ethical part that says we could violatesomeone elses space cuz we might do something wrong….However…when the door is open the level of integridy is up high and therefor personal relationship to ones Vision gets established and this free space of Freedom to operate, to create to be in a co-Visionship allocates space for
    Free Space to let the Spirit Zoar and on the wings of imagination Vision unfolds to the path of new realities….

    Well…this is my thought for today….I am going to concentrate
    with my Spirit and get back to you.

    Thank-you for a door open that sees sight unto the forces of Vision…
    I deeply care…I stand in Honor of Vision Force and gto you and as I have stated before…
    I Salute you…..
    Vision force has been a Life Line to the light within my soul and I deeply thank-you and appreciate the work.
    I am standing on behalf of the work totally..
    signing on to Vision casting within the transperency ot thought
    in motion……

    Hi,

    I was just thinking after this so brief of a pause….

    How is reality created?
    Reality is created evertime we make something happen.
    when I decide tomake something happen, something occur…
    an outcome unfolds. Now the way it unfolds is in dirrect realtionship to what I cast….and also what conditioning is overlayed upon my Spirit. Now the higher I rise in spirit the greater the manifestation of makeing something happen….
    The key to Vision is the reflection of pure thought to the Manifestation that comes into realaity….the higher the Spirit
    Soars wtihin the bounds of Freedom of Spirit and Freedom in Spirit the higher the presenceof Honor shows up at being….being a presence that is within the Spirit as a conciousness and personality of true self….So the purer the thought form the greater force of manifestation as a super natural force with the creation of how reality is created…
    Keep your heart free from worry and your thoughts pure to Humanity and rise higher than ones conditioning and live and walk in The realm of the Spirit that transcends one into awakening conciousness that walk in ones awakening with pure thought, great love and the manifestations of all ones Visions blooms as natural as the sun and the rain florish wild flowers in the desert or mountain scape or seascape…makes no differnce reality is created as a manifestation of oure thought and divine order originating from within the Spirit…..and from within Light as Light so bright that we have realization of the Creation of Vision as one of the most powerful forces that is given to the few that perpetuate the generosity to give unto Life to further Life and not destruction or death of the beauty in which Creation set in motion,rather the continued LIfe giving Light and photosynthesis of Creation to manifestation of pure Vision of beauty and Love for all….

    Michael,

    Thanks for sharing! The path you have chosen doesn’t sound like an easy one. In fact, your story sounds like the first few chapters in a novel Ayn Rand would write. Michael, I am not going to say I have a solution for your business problems, but I can remind you that there are successful business models everywhere. You just attended a HIP-HOP conference and I know you met some innovative entrepreneurs. Individuals that are selling out the trunks of their cars, just to get there products to the people/streets. Where there is a will, there is a way!

    So where do we go from here? Revolutions always begin at the grassroots level. The visionaries are already with you, and the best way to build the movement is by word of mouth. Just choose a business model that will take advantage of the personal and commercial relationships of the masses. No one can promote any idea, product, or service to my network of contacts, better than I can. I spead the word about your work, and everyone wants it. I can see vision clubs meeting in living rooms, community centers, schools, places of worship, teleconferences, coffe houses, just everywhere. Mike, give the people a stake in your work. All ships will rise with the tide and everyone should benefit. Let the people get it out.

    I have never heard of you Michael as I’m from Australia and only recently got on the internet therefore I have only a vague idea of what you are actually offering and do go back to your comments on getting your message accross for free or at least to a level where you can gain interest but in reality a business is a business and therefore has profit objectives which will always detract peoples interest away if they think profit is the main objective.
    I think therefore you have to go down the path of being a non-profit organisation. People will respond better if it is put to them that you are not about making money or gaining financial rewards your message is simply to help everyone reach out and achieve there goals with tools that will help them with every day life.
    Hope I have helped you at least with your mainstream thinking.

    Wow. Michael, I just listened to your audio. I must say when I recieved your email, I was ready to see you naked LOL. ( I couldn’t help it based on your email subject) but really I see you now as a very real person that I know I can TRUST. So much of business and getting to know people is all image and perception and no matter on that bases trust is usually lost once the sale is made so to speak.
    I too have not bought any programs but now know I must really participate in something that I have been looking for, for a long time.

    You are a breathe of FRESH air bring TRUST into a world that most desperately needs it.

    Thank You!!!
