After weeks of rain and gloom

flowering trees, daffodils and warm breezes. Spring is such
a fantastic reminder of how our dark and fallow periods are
inevitably followed by new life and energy. Let the
sunshine in!
This spring we are really
excited about Kim’s upcoming live event in St. Louis on

“Who Else Wants to
Experience Dreams Coming True?”
“Kim, I’ve explored
creating abundance in my life for a long time and
working with your manifestation concepts is the
culmination of it all. It is affirming for me to hear
again what we have known deep down inside – that
abundance is our God-given right. My thoughts
are positive for long periods of time.
When challenges come up there is now the observer in me
looking at it in a logical way and not getting so caught
up in the emotional aspect. I am creating abundance on
many levels. It’s like the red carpet has rolled out and
all I’ve got to do is remember my intentions and see
them manifest.” Toni Schmidt, St.
Louis, MO

What if Your Dreams Came True?

I recently read a very interesting book called
Courageous Dreaming by psychologist and shaman
Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. Courageous dreaming is
“choosing to create a new and better reality right now
instead of waiting for your life to get better.”
Villoldo posits that you need to get really clear about
what your inner reality is, because if you aren’t
consciously creating your own reality (courageous
dreaming, then you’ll get caught in someone else’s
nightmare.)
The principles in Courageous Dreaming reminded me
of one of my favorite books of all time, Marion Zimmer
Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon. One of the most
significant themes of Bradley’s re-imagining of Camelot
is that what people believe to be real becomes real. In
other words, the strongest belief wins.
In Lynn McTaggert’s new book The Intention Experiment,
she catalogues many studies demonstrating the phenomenon
of non-locality or “quantum entanglement.” From the
sub-molecular level to the ability of human beings to
influence cells, plants, animals and each other,
scientists are now able to measure how living beings
affect other living beings via energy.
One of the studies discussed in McTaggert’s book showed
that when a person designated as a “sender” of energy
witnessed flashes of light, the brain waves in a
designated “receiver” would mirror the brain waves of
the person actually witnessing the light stimuli, even
though the receiver was locked in a separate room. What
was perhaps more astonishing about this sort of brain
synchrony, however, was the finding that when a
designated “receiver” had a more cohesive brain wave
pattern than the “sender,” the brain waves of the more
ordered brain would sometimes take over.
These are challenging ideas, if you take them far
enough. They imply that, if our species is still
struggling with war, poverty, racism and religious
intolerance, it’s because so many of us have become
trapped in a strong collective belief that “this is the
way things are.” On the other hand, if we want to live
in a world that celebrates differences, where each
person has the freedom to express his or her unique
gifts, where there is plenty for all, then all we need
do is believe strongly enough that it is possible.
Perhaps that thought seems ridiculous to you. And as
long as it does, you will be trapped in the world you
can believe in.
Christ said in his day that “the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand.” If he was correct, then why hasn’t it happened
in 2,000 years? Perhaps because we misunderstood. We
thought he was talking about a “someday” heaven when he
really meant that we were dreaming our reality into
being, moment to moment. “Heaven,” whatever that means
to you, is always at hand, if only you have the
imagination to see it right in front of you, and the
courage to step right into it.
You have the power to break out of the cultural trance
by joyously and intentionally writing your own story.
You can create the life you desire in a wondrous world.
Your dreams are coming true, right now.
So what are you dreaming?

The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Even readers who don't normally enjoy Arthurian legends
will love this version, a retelling from the point of
view of the women behind the throne. Morgaine (more
commonly known as Morgan Le Fay) and Gwenhwyfar (a Welsh
spelling of Guinevere) struggle for power, using Arthur
as a way to score points and promote their respective
worldviews. The Mists of Avalon's Camelot
politics and intrigue take place at a time when
Christianity is taking over the island-nation of
Britain; Christianity vs. Faery, and God vs. Goddess are
dominant themes.
