The Way I Feel Matters More Than Anything Else!

This morning I awoke feeling awesome (for a minute) then rolled over and started thinking about an email I received last night from a friend I have borrowed a large sum of money from. Ooh, bad move....

Needless to say, before I even got out of bed, I was feeling completely torn up about the situation, distressed , worried and disappointed.

But, thanks to the last year and a half of experience dealing with this nasty mornings, I knew that I was having those gnarly feelings because of the perspective I was choosing right then -- one of doom and gloom, things not working out the way we hoped, uncertainty and powerlessness, etc. I knew I had the choice -- and the power -- to feel better, without taking a stitch of external action. All just in my mind. So I worked for a few minutes trying to find a thought or story I could just feel even an ounce better about. Within about a half hour, I had created a whole new story of increased prosperity, abundance, financial responsibility, completion of the debt and a great celebration of the closure.

The rest of the day, I was able to call up that story again, when I felt worried about the situation, and replay it in my mind. And I got the same great feeling result. So much so, that most of today, I was walking around feeling a significantly improved vibration about every topic in my life -- even romance, which I've been a bit disgruntled with of late.

How did I know this? Well, for one, I felt great -- about everything. Even work. And for two, a really attractive woman glanced at me approvingly today as I was walking cross a street and I felt bold enough to look at her directly at a while till we both smiled. I even felt a little bit of a rush. So I knew I was "on" as we say.

I'm telling you -- this s*&t works! Faster and more simply and profoundly than any techniques I have learned through other sources. That's why I feel utterly compelled to teach these emotional-mental tricks to everyone!

Absolute Contentment

Tonight, I came home from work utterly exhausted. I was spent to the max! And I was supposed to have dinner with a friend this evening. So the minute I got home, I put some Thieves oil blend all over my head and neck -- I was feeling just a tinsy bit sickly -- and immediately plopped down on my oh-most-comfortable couch for a nap.


My friend arrived at about 8:00 and I awoke feeling groggy but much better. We walked over to Jerry's Deli and proceeded to have the most lovely dinner, chatting and keeping each other company. Comfort food, as she called it. It was delicious. And her company was lovely.

I came home in absolute contentment. I love that feeling.

I Woke Up a Millionaire Today!

No, I didn't call "The Donald" at some ungodly hour of the morning! LOL! :) I'm referring to the vibration I awoke in this morning. It was amazing!! First thoughts, feelings and vibrations I experienced as I came out of my sleep this AM.

Not only did I truly feel it then and even now as I talk about it but...I believe it! That's what's really incredible.

It was delicious. There was so much abundance surrounding me and large amounts of money. It was like a powerful vision of what's to come -- and is!

The best part was that it wasn't just a vision of being a millionaire. But there was someone with me too. This incredibly beautiful, sexy blonde woman was there with me, as friend, lover and partner. I loved, adored and lusted after her profoundly. It was wonderful!

Of course, I'm partial to brunettes so what's up with the blonde, I have no clue! :) But honestly, for the way it felt, I won't be turning her out to the street anytime soon.

So every morning from now on, I attest that I will wake up a millionaire and have the most incredible girlfriend!

A Sign of Effortless Abundance

Ah, so much wonderful unfoldings happening right now. I'm really living a magical life and I love it.

For example, I went to participate in a research study tonight. I thought I was running late. So I checked inside and felt that I would get there right on the minute. I knew that was cutting it close and that I could possibly miss it, but I trusted that this was indeed what was going to happen.

I arrived to the office exactly at 5:30, the time it was too start. Signed in and then was escorted to a room for the study. But there had been a misunderstanding. They thought I was working for the research company! So they took me back to the lobby. Then, as they were gathering folks to go into the study, I ran to the bathroom and came back thinking, "Cool, I made it in!"

Well, they had me sit down and told me that they had overbooked and might be sending me home -- with pay! About 5 minutes later, they paid me $150 cash and sent me home!

Now hows' that for abundance coming to me in magical and effortless ways?! It's a wonderful sign for me and helps build my trust that dollars really can come to me without my having to work for them. Powerful!

Thank You for the Struggles This Past Year!!

This morning I was struck by a warm and lovely thought: had I not had all my experiences in 2007 and early 2008, I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't be primed and ready to bring a new message -- my message, Greg's message -- to the world. I wouldn't have learned so much about Law of Attraction and found practical ways of becoming even more of the powerful, positive manifestor that I am today. I wouldn't understand the intimate connection between our emotions and our outer manifestations.

In fact, had I reached the level of financial abundance I wanted in 200y by being a professional real estate investor, I'd probably still be doing it. I wouldn't have faced innumerable financial stresses and challenges, each one resulting in my desire to get a stronger handle on my vibration of abundance and what I was mentally and emotionally putting out there. Each attempt to feel better in the moment -- because nothing matters more than that I feel good -- deepening my resolve to feel better and expanding my trust and faith in the inevitability of my wealth and fortune.

Had I not dabbled in MLM and networking marketing in late 2007 and here in 2008 for the last few months, I would have never clarified and learnt more preferences around how hard I want to work and in which ways I want to work and allow my wealth. Years from now I might be still working on building teams and carrying someone else's vision and message. Instead I am returning to my roots in ways -- roots that were sparked 7 to 8 years ago, plus -- and preparing to carry my message. A message I cannot help but carry, because it is who I am and how I operate in the world.

Through both those experiences -- REI and MLM -- I have even refined more preferences. I'd still rather do solid real estate investing than an MLM. But I'd even like to find other investments and forms of building passive wealth.

But most importantly, this whole post is a sort of reflection on opening to a deeper understanding of the dynamic of life. If something isn't manifesting the way we want, then there's really only two perspectives: we're not in alignment with it and need to adjust our vibration -- via our emotional awareness and thinking -- to get in alignment with it OR we're in alignment with something different or some other form of this experience, but that this experience is necessary for getting to that eventual place of alignment. Either way, along the way, the most important thing is to feel good. And appreciation of as much as possible is the best way I know how!

The Power of the Leverage of Alignment

This evening, I wrote an email to my team leaders in YTB (YourTravelBiz), an MLM company I joined in April, saying that I no longer feel aligned with the business anymore and am putting my energy into a new vision of my own. With letters like this, I often feel I need to explain things out so that people clearly understand where I'm coming from, explaining my process and various decisions and happenings along the way that they definitely were not privy to.

But this time, I didn't. I kept it short, sweet and to the point.

It was freeing. It felt great to be releasing this business -- one I never manifested a thing with in 4 months. (Important point to remember, in a moment). Later I received a long message back from one of them, with a lot of ideas about what that person thinks my experience was.

Now, at first I felt a little pissy about it. How dare she be so presumptuous about my experience, etc, etc. Then I remembered something Abraham says, which I used once when I was ending a friendship where the friend started judging my experience: "What you think about my experience is completely irrelevant!" That made me feel better. And it's true.

I half expected her to respond that way -- so of course, she did. But the cool part is that I don't agree with anything she said, nor do I feel it matters, as off-putting it was. Admittedly, I was tempted to write back and say that my decision has nothing to do with disappointment, that she doesn't understand me and that I am totally crystal clear (several things she assumed in her note). Despite saying she understands, she clearly doesn't. And you know what, I actually find that funny rather than offensive or worrisome. But mostly, I feel like I don't need her to understand, nor do I want to spend the cycles/energy even trying to explain myself.

Then again, a good question right now is: vibrationally does getting this response serve as a manifestational indicator of something going on in me; in my vibration? I have some doubts about leaving the business -- afterall I put some good money into it and hate throwing money away -- and I do wonder if it could be different. But my energy isn't in it. I am not inspired to do the work "required" to run an MLM business. Nor does the core of the business inspire me. The end result does -- financial freedom. But that's not enough for me. I need both the means AND the end to inspire and fire me. Tuned in, tapped in, turned on, 100% by it all, which I'm not. Otherwise, whatever I do is not in alignment for my greatest good and things do not unfold easily and effortlessly for me.

When I am in alignment, everything happens easily and quickly for me (for all of us really). I know this to be true! Just look at my life in the last 4 months...

I found a job within 1 week of going back to work in March of 2008. I manifested an hourly increase of $8 within 3 months after returning to work. I manifested the lover I had in June within 14 hours of declaring my desire for one. I manifested the three women I met in one weekend in SF! I manifested my new car in a 72 hour period! I already have several people in Los Angeles who want to take my class and 2 people in SF! And I know there's more on the way! I can feel it unfolding on a grand scale, even before it has unfolded. CDs, DVDs, radio shows, tv shows, speaking tours, weekend classes, all existing already. All I need to do is allow and align.

My life in recent months -- and before -- is proof positive of the creative power of the leverage of alignment!! That is how I want to live and work: using the leverage of my feelings to get into alignment with what is on it's way to me and allow and watch it all magically unfold.

I do not want the world of hard work and sacrifice that is rampantly touted in MLM and other businesses. Others can have that. I want ease and flow, going downstream toward everything I want and letting it all just unfold from the magic, mystery and power of the universe, which is mine -- and everyone's -- to use or not.

Others can work they way they want to and believe what they want. For me, I have chosen my path. The path of allowing. And I'm happy with it. I'm excited to be a vehicle for people's greater awareness, through a means I have studied my entire life: the emotions. I am honored to be doing this work and am happy and excited to be preparing for my class, classes and so much more.

Preparation and Completion

I had such a great day today. LOTS is shifting in preparation for this new time. I feel a sort of completion happening -- I have mentioned that earlier -- as well as a lightening of the load and a sharper focus. Almost like I'm coming back to myself in an odd way. Back, and yet returning to a fuller, more expanded newer self. It's a very interesting feeling or sensation. Very expansive and very powerful. I know it has a lot to do with being in alignment and my expansive new vision for my life's work. Every time I tell a friend about this work I get so friggin' excited and can feel the expansiveness of it. I can feel the vision being real, right now. The next logical feeling and energetic step, as Abraham would say.

Much is coming to an end. And much is beginning a new. Very cool!

New Perspectives. New Endeavors. Changing Times.

Today I'm really excited!

I awoke this morning feeling refreshed and renewed. Then I started "rehearsing" the lines I've been telling myself for the last week about the project I'm on -- all of them resulting in not making me feel very good. Then, I caught it. The not-feeling-so-good feeling.

"Find something to appreciate in it Phillips!" I told myself. So I did!

So it's a slow week. Last week was crazy-busy and this week isn't. I'm willing to enjoy it instead of gripe about it. Perfect timing too, because things are starting to accelerate with my new project and vision. And hey, when I'm not pressured on the job, I can relax during the day more -- find stimulation in other things.

Also of import this week, is the culmination of my participation in the MLM YourTravelBiz.com (YTB). I am officially closing down my involvement this week with the intention of focusing solely on my new vision and channeling the unfoldment of that. Plus, I hadn't made any money really, was spending $50 a month and not making anything from that spending (versus my Young Living membership in which if I spend $50, at least I make some of it back!).

Plus, I decided I don't want to do the MLM thing the way other people do it -- all the recruiting and what not. Nor do I honestly want to be making people's travel arrangements for them. I don't like doing work for others that I would want someone else to do for me! So I'm out!!

Lastly, I'm regrouping all my various web domains, URLs and emails. For 7-8 years now, I've been using Clariscope as my main business name, domain and email. That, I am sensing, is about to change. I've decided to create some emails associated with this blog -- feeltheabundance.com -- and begin marketing/promoting/encouraging people toward this site, instead of my other one. I've actually already redirected the clariscope domain to here!

In fact, I might shut down Clariscope all together and start afresh. Bold strokes, I know. :) Heck, it's been in my life for years. But here's the 411: the domain is hard to say and spell for people; I created it based on who I was 7+ years ago and I'm someone different now; my focus has changed and I want my email and web site to reflect that; and lastly, I really am starting something brand new, on a scale that has a bigger vision and bigger intentions than anything I've ever done with Clariscope.

Feel the Abundance. It's the name I gave this blog several months ago now. Prophetic in a way, since I'm going to be teaching people how to recognize, understand, appreciate and leverage their emotions into greater manifestation and abundance.

Feel the Abundance. It's who I am and what I'm all about. It's my gift and mission in the world. And it's easy to say and spell! :)

Completing a Cycle (?)

I've been off on a HUGE tangent of sorts lately. This wild and weird pursuit of financial freedom for financial freedom's sake.

I've learned alot about it in the last few weeks. Especially since receiving my new vision and inspirations. In ways, I feel like I've just completed -- or am completing -- some sort of long, huge cycle and returned to myself, but as a more expanded, enlivened, confident and energetic version.

Soon the cycle comes to an end, and the new one begins. I can feel it. And it's huge, exciting and expansive. It feels good to be excited, expansive and locked into purpose and vision, again...

Make a Career of Living Happily

I got a great Abraham quote in the email two Sundays ago (7/27). I'm playing catch-up on my messages and finally fully, deeply read it just now. Here it is...

"A very good career choice would be to gravitate toward those activities and to embrace those desires that harmonize with your core intentions, which are freedom and growth—and joy. Make a "career" of living a happy life rather than trying to find work that will produce enough income that you can do things with your money that will then make you happy. When feeling happy is of paramount importance to you—and what you do "for a living" makes you happy—you have found the best of all combinations. "

~ Abraham-Hicks, from the upcoming book Money and the Law of Attraction… Learning to Attract Wealth, Health and Happiness, due in stores August 12th.

Now, this quote spoke strongly to me. I can't recall if I've mentioned it here since it happened, but I have been undergoing a massive professional re-evaluation, accompanied by great circumspection around the past few businesses I have attempted, as well as a massive vision of what my work in the world is supposed to be. For the last many years, I have been trying to find business that will produce enough income that I can do things with the money. I realized that last week. But they way Abe is saying it here really strikes home. Ouch!

Funny thing is, back in 2006 I published my first book Soul Search Before You Job Search, which offers the main idea of looking inside for what you want to do, before taking external action. I have to admit that ever since my old Internet start-up was sold in 2001, I haven't had much of a vision about my work in the world. Even my book -- which is a good book -- didn't have a huge vision to it.

But this heart space-emotional-vibrational-law of attraction work -- or whatever the hell I'm going to call it -- goes beyond all of that. So far beyond that it is every bit about who I am in the world as it is what I do in the world. And just the thought of it gives me great joy and excitement.

I LOVE that! And I can't wait to reveal my first step in the direction of this vision! Soon...

Busy Two Weeks!

Hmmm. It's been a busy two weeks and it feels like soooo much has happened! :)

I'll start with the vision I had on July 17th. It was huge. I wrote a little bit about it on July 19th. later that evening, Dr. Peebles -- one of my spiritual guides, from the other side -- confirmed it as real and my being on track down a path that is, as he described it, "just the tippy-top of the iceberg!" Every time I tell someone about the vision, how exciting it feels and how well aligned with ME and my desires and goals it feels, they all echo solid confirmation. One friend said yesterday that he could feel it vibrating in his DNA and affirmed it felt profound even just to hear about it. Last weekend, another friend blurted out "That's what I was going to say!" when I told her I realized I was an expert at the heart space, emotions, etc. Another validation.

Of course, what's cool is that I do not feel any need for validation from other people on this. Not feeling this need makes the validation I'm getting all the more powerful. Good ole' Law of Attraction, at it again.

Then from July 25th to July 28th I went up to San Francisco -- Berkeley and Marin to be precise -- and had a great time visiting friends. So much LOVE! It was incredible. I even manifested some wonderful encounters with lovely women. One in which I felt a powerful knowing, like past life connection. It was profound how strongly I knew her and was attracted to her. I had a lot of fun appreciating the other women and their presence. Female companionship -- be it romantic or otherwise -- is always something I immensely appreciate.

Last week saw a massive push at work to reach a deadline. Nothing much to mentioned there. But I continued to manifest productive and fruitful days. As well as excellent meals! I also had a realization that I already have a group that might be interested in whatever I start to do with heart and emotion consulting -- my Manifestation Group email list!

Finally, this weekend I have my first inspirational thought on what form my new, expanded work will first take on: a class, offered to my Manifestation Group, dance friends and various others. I even was given the structure for the first session. Still not sure on timing, etc. But it feels like this is something that will start either late August or early September. I'll launch it in Los Angeles first and then see what happens, as I do have friends in other areas.

That's all for now. I'm very, very excited about this new direction!
