5 Ways to Support Your Gifted Child
Dear bloggers & Face Book users: please help us grow our little music school by sharing and reblogging this post – thank you – S
You are now sure of it. Your child is gifted, and you want to do your best to support her. As the parent of a gifted child, it is important that you understand the challenges and opportunities this presents to your child. It is a joy to parent gifted children and to see them achieve extraordinary things. With Intelligence Quotients above 145, gifted children stand out from the ordinary. This is never easy to do,and the reaction of others is sometimes unkind. It is therefore important that, as a parent, you understand how to support them. Failure to adequately support your gifted child could result in them failing to realize their full potential.
The most important factor in developing your child’s giftedness is appropriate education. If your child is not yet enrolled in a gifted child program, be sure to have them enrolled in one. Gifted children who are not intellectually challenged will suffer emotionally and intellectually. Even if they are unable to participate full-time in a gifted child program, make sure that they have some exposure to similarly gifted children and to a curriculum which challenges and stimulates them intellectually. It may be necessary for them to change schools so that they can be in a supportive environment.
Finding mentors for your gifted child is a good way to support her. These mentors are themselves likely to be gifted and can share more than information with your children. They can also share life experiences and encourage them over the hurdles that giftedness can present. Mentors can also open doors to opportunities for learning and vocation.
Seek scholarships for your child. It is highly likely that you will be able to select from a variety of scholarships given the high intelligence of your child. Be sure, however, to seek a scholarship from a school or college which will support their area of interest and propel them onto greatness.
Talk to your child. This will be very important to ensuring the emotional stability of your child. Remember, giftedness sets your child apart from others. They may find it difficult to fit in with others and may need a respite at the end of the school day. Therefore, prepare a haven for your child at home. Allow them to pursue their own interests in a safe environment. Listen to them as they unload after a day at school and take your cues from the discussion.
Cultivate your child’s interests. It is very likely that your child will have a particular area of giftedness. Encourage her in this area. Support her with the resources she needs to develop her skills and interests. You can demonstrate your support by active participation where possible or just by being there when they engage in these activities. You can also read to your child or provide books about their areas of interest.
As you seek to support your gifted child, remember that though they are exceptional, they are still children. Allow them to be children even as they astound the world with their giftedness.

Secrets of Raising Happy Children: Discover the 3As of a Happy Parent
Dear bloggers & Face Book users: please help us grow our little music school by sharing and reblogging this post – thank you – S
“Happiness is a habit – cultivate it.”
Elbert Hubbard
Parenthood is a lifelong journey that demands the best from you. You wonder, “How do I stay on track and go the distance, especially during the challenging times?” Discovering the 3As of what truly happy parents practice is a crucial step, otherwise the constant façade of happiness you put on for the sake of your family will eventually burn you out!
Although you cannot eliminate all the setbacks in your life, it is how you choose to respond to them that will make the difference. The following are three practical tips – Accept, Affirm, Align (3As) – that can help you be the kind of happy parent who is well equipped to raise happy children.
Happy Parent of Happy Child Tip #1: Accept your brain’s chemistry
According to Professor Loretta G. Breuning, Ph.D., there are four neurochemicals that regulate our feelings of happiness. Endorphin is the body’s natural morphine which grants us temporary euphoria to withstand pain when we get injured lest we have to make a quick dash from danger; dopamine keeps us high in view of a perceived reward; oxytocin triggers feelings of closeness when we bond with others physically or emotionally; and serotonin gives us a boost when we are made to feel important.
Our neurochemical levels fluctuate as the situations around us change; for example, dopamine dips when one’s goal is achieved. Since the neurochemical drop dampens our feelings, we may imagine that a problem exists and unwittingly adopt a negative outlook. But if we understand that it is just how the balance of our neurochemicals works, we can assure ourselves, “Relax, it’s the chemicals; it’s not me!”
Happy Parent of Happy Child Tip #2: Affirm yourself
We tend to be our own worst critic. In our earnest bid for self-improvement, we may go overboard berating ourselves for our failures. Unfortunately, if you put yourself down often enough, you will end up with so much negative energy that it spills over to others despite your best efforts to keep it under wraps. Your precious children are innocent parties that do not deserve your pent-up negativity.
To be a happier parent, do yourself a favor: Forgive yourself more. Speak affirmative words to the person you see in the mirror every day. If you don’t treat yourself well, who will? After all, it does not cost you anything to do so – no hired coach, no professional motivator needed.
Happy Parent of Happy Child Tip #3: Align your expectations
Studies in consumer behavior have shown that once a customer is happy with a certain product or service, it will take more to please the customer the next time because the level of expectation has been raised. Likewise, you might have discovered something that makes you feel happy. But can you derive the same level of joy through that same source day after day?
To counter the happiness paradox – i.e. the happier you are, the harder it is to make you happy the next time – bestselling author and psychologist Harry Beckwith, J.D., recommends this: don’t lower your expectations but don’t raise the bar either. In other words, align your expectations in a realistic manner so that you don’t create impossible goals and cause frustration instead.
Well, it seems as if being happy comes with a caveat! Nevertheless that is a small price to pay compared with the boundless possibilities that happiness can offer you and your loved ones.
Conclusion
The aforementioned tips are by no means exhaustive. However, the 3As – Accept, Affirm, Align – are a good starting point in your endeavor to become a happy parent more consistently. Remember, the objective of being a happy parent is to be able to raise happy children who can reach their full potential in life.

Secrets to Success for Gifted Adults – 8 to Be Great!
Dear bloggers & Face Book users: please help us grow our little music school by sharing and reblogging this post – thank you – S
As a gifted adult, you are definitely in search of success, right? So why not make it as easy as possible? Use these eight simple steps right now to put yourself on the path to achieving what you really want in a short amount of time.
There are many frameworks for success out there, but what works for you isn’t always what works for everyone else. So here’s how you can apply the categories of passion, work, focus, push, ideas, improve, serve, and persist to gifted adults.
1. Passion – This area almost never seems to be a problem for gifted adults. As a matter of fact, they have more trouble trying to narrow down their passions than they do trying to find one in the first place.
So as far as passion goes, choose the one that stands out the most for you right now and think about what you could do to make it awesome and impactful on the world. This passion will be one foundational piece of your essential mission – the path that will give you the ultimate excitement, pleasure and satisfaction in life. You’ll probably find that over time many of your awesome and impactful passions will fit together to formulate your essential mission completely. And when that happens, in an incredible place you’ll be!
2. Work – However you’d like to consider it, it’s going to take a lot of work to get to the summit of your life experience. Time, effort, money, sweat and tears are all involved here.
The most important thing to remember as you’re putting in huge amounts of effort, and being gifted, are likely on an emotional roller coaster for a good part of the time, is that every step of the way is getting you closer to where you want to be. Even if it doesn’t look like it, or if everyone around you is telling you you’re wasting your time, know that every learning experience makes you a more knowledgeable and stronger person – one that is all the more able to handle the super success that comes at the top.
3. Focus – The things that you want in life won’t necessarily fall into your lap – you will have to work for them – but you’ll find that they will all come together much more easily when you’ve determined your focus and you know for sure, or at least mostly for sure, what you’re striving for. (Not having focus is kind of like deciding to go on vacation but not knowing where. When you decide on your destination it makes getting there a whole lot easier.)
For gifted adults, finding focus means, not only doing one thing very well, but figuring out how to use the many things you do well to make a difference in the lives of yourself and others. It isn’t about narrowing your focus down to such a point that it includes only one thing. It’s about combining your many points of focus to create something new, exciting and unexplored.
4. Push – This is one of the toughest parts of the success process for gifted adults. Usually the aims they have in life aren’t the traditional ones that most people shoot for. The things that bring them the most satisfaction are maybe not even understood by many of the people closest to them. So what do they do? This is where making connections with other gifted adults becomes mandatory.
It’s tough enough to succeed at doing normal things, so you have to set up your support systems in a big way when you’re ready to succeed at an ultimate unconventional level. When you start to feel down and out, when the work is becoming overwhelming, or when you feel like you’re not even sure you’re on the right track, getting in touch with your gifted friends can offer you the push you so definitely need at that moment in time.
5. Ideas – Generating ideas is also something that usually comes relatively easy for gifted adults. The challenge for them is to figure out which ones to use right now and which ones to put on the back burner for a while.
Keeping a journal is very helpful for this, as is having some awesome let’s-bang-around-some-great-ideas conversations with gifted friends. You can use some local or reachable experts in the fields you’re working with as well who will also be able to help you refine your reflections and insights. And if independent, do-it-now kind of idea creation is what you prefer, you can try setting up a filing cabinet with folders or compartments for each of your magnificent ideas along with the supplies they need to put them into action.
6. Improve – This one is another given for many gifted adults. You can say it may even be built-in directly somehow. For them, the desire to improve is less like a potential option and more like a life-giving necessity.
Sometimes, for gifted adults the desire to improve is so strong that what to do or how to go about it in the best way becomes more of the challenge. Using the connections you’ve made with positive and uplifting people will help you figure out where the most important places are for you to progress from the position you’re standing in right now. And remember, with the high learning curve that giftedness brings, your place of improvement might be different tomorrow, and next week, and next month. Just know that is absolutely OK.
7. Serve – This is one more area that’s nearly part of the genetic makeup of gifted adults – the need to contribute something beyond themselves. The secret for them is to put their unique sets of passions together to create something that serves others in the maximal way.
You can do amazing things; you’ve got bucket loads of ideas and passions; you’re not afraid to keep on trying; and you really want to help people with what you do. So now consider what you would love to do, be and have if you had all of the time, money and resources you needed at your fingertips, and then take the first steps toward making that real. Putting the pieces together to change the world, not just in any way, but in the most beneficial and positive way is the goal now.
8. Persist – Isn’t it amazing that one of the key traits of giftedness is also one of the eight keys to success?
The biggest challenge for gifted adults here is not that they are not persistent – they so often are to an incredible degree – but that they keep moving forward when they’re feeling down and out, when the world goes against them, and when their unconventional ideas are just beginning to break through into the conceptualizations of the rest of the planet. — So perhaps the ultimate success question for gifted adults is this: If 6-7 of these secrets to success are basically built into them, why are they not all incredibly successful?
The biggest answer lies in Success Point 4 – Push. At only 3-5% of the general population, gifted adults are so physically scattered in their cities, communities, and countries that they have trouble finding one another. And without other people who understand their intensities, and what some may call insanities, it’s hard to keep moving forward. It’s tough for them to stand on their own day after day, idea after idea, potential miracle after potential miracle.
So if you are a gifted adult, be on the lookout for others like you anywhere and everywhere you go. And when you find them, hang onto them, especially the positive, motivating ones, because their presence around you may just be the final piece you need to complete the puzzle of your essential life mission and find ultimate success.

Indigo Adults: What Are These Special Children Doing Now?
Dear bloggers & Face Book users: please help us grow our little music school by sharing and reblogging this post – thank you – S
Before I launch into Indigo adults, let me give you a bit of back-story. The title “indigo children” was originally developed by authors Lee Carroll and Jan Tober who when working with Nancy Tappe discovered that her rare brain disorder synaesthesia allowed her to perceive auras or colours around people. These colours were a representation of that persons personality and essence, and never before had she seen so many children with indigo in their auras. Lee Carroll determined at the time that these were “boys or girls who displayed a new and unusual set of psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behaviour generally undocumented before”. It was those attributes that marked these children as a force that would slowly change the world simply due to their questioning nature, rare insight and strength to challenge established authority.
Ten years on from their original book ‘Indigo Children’ and we now have indigo teenagers and adults. However it is difficult to say where they are today since there is both a light and dark side to every story. Neale Donald Walshe, author of ‘Conversations with God’ said “Indigo children have access to human experience at a larger level, at a greater depth than most people”. But these are also adults who were often misdiagnosed with Attention-Deficit Disorder, medicated and brought up with the ingrained autocratic methods of their parents. A loving environment growing up, is important with every child, and more so with indigo children as they learn and experience in a different way to others. Some Indigo adults have started their own families with a new generation of indigo children that they are lovingly raising in a balanced and harmonious environment. Others have never found their place in the world, have had difficult conforming to society and constantly felt misunderstood.
As you can imagine indigo teenagers would be difficult to live with if parents tried to constrain them with rules and regulations. Talks ending with “because I said so” would have absolutely no effect, or perhaps the opposite effect desired. Dr. Jill Porter developed a ‘Constructivism’ learning environment for indigo teens where their knowledge is constructed from experience. She also advised that parents take a similar approach to their teens and young adults by allowing them to learn and process for themselves rather than supplying them with lists of do’s and don’ts. “Indigo Children anticipate respect. They expect to be spoken to, not talked at or over” said Prof. Jennifer Townselyin ‘Indigo Children: Ten Years Later’.
Indigo adults are also now in the workforce. Company executives maintain that the new generation of workers is not like the old one. These employees’ question and wont give respect that is not earned. In serving positions like waiters and desk clerks, the ‘can I help you’ protocol is gone. Instead it’s replaced by silence, an assessing look – and if you treat them as an equal regardless of the hierarchy of the office, they will offer you the same courtesy. Studies show Indigo adults are less concerned about monetary value and more passionate about freedom, creativity and changing perceptions. These adults may be seen as lacking motivation, having a terrible work ethic and not knowing their place. However Indigos have an innate sense of self worth and though they do not accept the oppressive attitude associated with ‘servers’, they can make the best humanitarians if society stops judging each other on class, job, social standing, and instead treats everyone with the same compassion.
Nancy Tappe affirms that “usually each universal age is accompanied by a preponderance of people with that life color… this the Violet Age of transition. During the next age, the Indigo Age, Indigo colors will be the norm.” The indigo aura is dominating our society these days from children through to adults. They are now in schools, in the home, in the workplace and they have the remarkable potential to make a difference. Regardless of whether or not they are psychic or whether or not you believe indigo auras exist. We can all see the change in the world, where young people becoming adults refuse to accept governments and methods that are corrupt, where ‘sit down and be quiet’ is no longer a viable teaching method in schools and where the energy, spirit and enthusiasm of children is now seen in adults who are slowly but surely making their mark on the world.

Parenting Gifted Children
Dear bloggers & Face Book users: please help us grow our little music school by sharing and reblogging this post – thank you – S
Sarah was just two years old when her mother discovered she had a knack for playing the violin. By the age of four she was playing like a professional. At age six she started writing her own compositions. Now barely eight years old, she is a sought after violinist, and recently released her first album. Sarah is by no means your average child; rather, she is among the estimated 6% of children in the US who have been identified as being gifted. This is largely defined by their ability to master an adult activity at a very young age.
Gifted children are naturally very curious. In addition, they also very creative, quick learners, voracious readers, intuitive, emotionally sensitive, and have a tendency to be perfectionists.
Below are some tips that can be useful when parenting these children.
Provide support and encouragement. Parents must make every effort to encourage their abilities, and satisfy their quest for knowledge. Some parents opt to home school their gifted kids. This is because they are academically advanced, and the normal school system does not provide the stimulation they need. As a result, they become easily bored. In order to perform at the highest level, they must be challenged. Holding them back can prove very detrimental.
There are cases of persons whose gifts were not unearthed until very late in life, because at an early age, they were not in an environment that provided stimulation.
Ensure that they understand that their gift does not define who they are. Help them to recognize that their gift relates to a talent or ability, it is something they can do, not who they are. While it is a very important part of their persona, there are many other things that they are capable of doing. Therefore, it is a good idea to help them develop other interests, and take part in additional activities.
Do not neglect discipline. There is sometimes the temptation for parents to be so overawed by the gift, that rules of conduct are neglected. There is also the tendency to treat these children as equals, due to their above average intelligence, and ability to comprehend and reason at an adult level. However, the gifted child must be made to understand that despite their amazing abilities, they are still children in need of guidance and direction. Consequently, very clear standards of discipline must be set.
If there are other children in the home, maintain a balance. Never focus all your attention on the gifted child and neglect the others. This is vital, as they can be very demanding, and tend to be more intense, thereby requiring more attention. Ensure that they understand and appreciate the fact that, there are other members of the family, whose needs are equally important.
While parenting your gifted child ensure that you enjoy their gift, communicate openly, and encourage them. Perhaps one of the key things is to help them to focus not only on performing exceptionally, but also, on learning as much as possible. Ensure that they learn to interact with others, and get pleasure from the gift they have been given.

Indigo Adults
Dear bloggers & Face Book users: please help us grow our little music school by sharing and reblogging this post – thank you – S
I thought I’d post something for the adults today. Wishing everyone a beautiful day – S
__________________
We know that the “children of the blue ray” have an inherent attraction toward one another. This is a physical phenomenon having to do with their very large and expansive bio-electromagnetic-photic field that surrounds these individuals. A Blue Ray (Indigo) individual has a field that is easily measured with dowsing rods beginning anywhere from 6 to 54 feet off of the physical body. When they are anywhere near others of their same kind, they sense a bounding energetic resonance with the other being as their fields interact. They gaze into the other’s eyes and somehow recognize the essence of themselves looking back. The sense of family, safety and trust is profound and palpable. There is no need for a “get to know” period. They have known each other for millennia and the usual niceties of societal ritual are unnecessary. At first their perception of the bio-electromagnetic-photic fields blending with the others’ is that of a sexual attraction. That feeling is the template on which these sensations are usually placed because these sensations have likely only been experienced in that context before. But this is different. If the person feeling this is straight and the other person is of the same sex, this can cause confusion. If the other person happens to be an Indigo child, one might feel as though they are experiencing pedophilic tendencies.
These chance meetings if remembered at all for truly what they are by Indigo adults are rare. Most brush them off as being moments of sexual “chemistry” especially if they are felt with the opposite sex. Besides, the eyes in which they are staring into are strangely deep, wise, usually almond shaped and have fantastically unique and vivid iris colors. While their eyes are locked in a cosmic gaze they might also be noticing sensations registering in their chakric centers involving their entire body. This can be quite shocking and disturbing at first. It actually might be the first energetic awakening they have ever experienced as many of these adults may have previously thought they had a low sex drive or were experiencing a lack of sexual performance. Indigos are energetically hybrids and different from those of the non-Indigo persuasion. Their energetic systems are not stimulated in the same way if they are not with their own kind. Most have only been with other non-Indigos and somehow feel as if they simply are not capable of fully responding in what is considered a “normal” way. Beginning in infancy, many cannot tolerate the touch from a non-Indigo being. The bio-resonance synchronization of the bio-electromagnetic-photic fields is critical for these beings to be physically comfortable being touched by another human. They have no problem loving up animals and blending with their fields however. The touch must be perceived as pure and unconditional.
By the mid 40’s, most yet still unaware “Blue Ray” beings (Indigos) can count on one hand the number of times they might have had this sort of chance encounter with another Indigo being. Having similar strange and misunderstood feelings by this age is common for them and they have learned to discount these experiences. As the adult Indigo moves closer to understanding who and what they are, if they are in a relationship with a non-Indigo, that relationship will usually experience severe strain as the Indigo partner is drawn to different people and information that will further assist in their awakening process. The intensity of this non-sexual intimacy that is shared between two Indigos far surpasses anything the act of physical sex can provide. This is difficult to explain and defend to a non-Indigo who can perceive but misinterpret this unusual attraction their partner might be experiencing with someone else.
If two Indigos are lucky enough to have found each other, their bond will be like no other they have experienced in this dimension thus far. It is as if one completes the others’ circuitry. Their energetic systems merge; they experience telepathic communication constantly and consistently. Once they learn to trust one another and lay down their armor, shields and spears that they have relied on to survive in this reality, they can reach a level of confidence where simple agreements become vows. This is what they have been longing for throughout. To finally find another who will treat them with the same level of honesty and integrity that they have insisted on from themselves and demonstrated to others throughout. A sense of coming home for the very first time deeply resonates with these friends/couples. Indigo adults are becoming more common, those who have awoken to their unique identity are still rare. The world is changing before our eyes and the ever increasing vibration that is moving this process forward is fueling the awakening process. Study the Indigo traits and characteristics that are more commonly assigned to the children. Turn the mirror on yourself and other adults whom you might already be suspicious. Once you become more inherently familiar with those of this persuasion, you will be able to identify them immediately, even if they don’t have a clue themselves what you are talking about. Expose them to the list of Indigo traits and characteristics, questionnaires, learn to measure their bio-electromagnetic-photic field with dowsing rods and bring them to places such as ley lines and vortexes where their cable-ready energetic systems can come alive and verify your suspicions while undeniably validating them. We need all hands on deck for what lays a head. It is time to wake up the masses that still lie dormant in their slumber.

Gifted Children
Dear bloggers & Face Book users: please help us grow our little music school by sharing and reblogging this post – thank you – S
What happens when you’re the only sane person in a world of crazy people? This is the conundrum gifted children, indigo children, crystal children face.
Gifted with intelligence, wisdom, creativity and power beyond belief but without a proper role model in sight, with no-one to even tell them that they are gifted and not sick or broken. They may be misunderstood by their family, their society, and everyone they know. They are the leaders of the new consciousness, yet they may be treated like fools and slaves until they forget themselves. Are they gifted or are they cursed?
Being more in tune with reality and life itself causes harmony between you and others like you. But it simultaneously means you’re out of sync with crazy people, the maniacs that make up more than 99% of the population.
Indigo children are “gifted” with the inability to be inauthentic, for instance. Honesty is a wonderful, pure, perfect thing – but it won’t get you far in the social game most people play. In school, they tend to be marginalised or bullied.
These gifted children tend to receive a love/hate treatment from society. On the one hand, they are amazing people gifted with lots of positive character traits, including fairness, kindness and oftentimes an outrageous sense of humour. On the other hand, they are revolutionaries and can’t stand to see the darkness that goes on around them. They don’t accept the standard paradigms just because everyone else does. That logic isn’t valid for an indigo child.
Indigo children have a different perspective. Through their gifted eyes they see a world where everyone does things, or fails to do things, because society accepts or rejects them for it. And it is their curse to be gifted with the inability to go along with this.
The bus stops at our gifted children. This pattern goes no further. In a world where the emperor has no clothes, gifted children, indigo children are the first and only ones to point this out.
Their destiny is either to become the greatest leaders this world has ever seen, or to be burnt at the stake.

Internet Marketers – New Age Spiritually Enlightened Humans
Dear bloggers & Face Book users: please help us grow our little music school by sharing and reblogging this post – thank you – S
Internet Marketers are spiritual in the new-age sense. They are examples of the new enlightened humans. Is that so hard to believe? Do you think they are just after money? I see a different side.
When I say Internet Marketers, what I mean is the huge industry of marketers who sell information products to other marketers who are learning how to market on the Internet. Whoa! That’s a mouthful. Marketing on the Internet is now done by virtually all companies no matter what their product or service. I am speaking of the sector of people who are selling systems and tools to make you successful at earning an income from the net. They are often called IMers and that’s what I will call them for this article.
IMers are not only selling their own products but most are also affiliate marketers. Affiliate marketing is like commission sales in the offline world. Companies pay a percentage of the sale to people who promote their products and services. The affiliate marketer commonly has a web site to promote from. When I speak of IMers, this includes affiliate marketers and usually are each others best customers.
I have written many articles and posts about how humanity is entering the next phase of human evolution. How we will completely change our behaviors and beliefs. I love to read newspapers and watch the Internet for signs that humans are awakening. I believe I have found in IMers, an example of the change of which I refer to.
My Journey
About 18 months ago, with lots of time on my hands, I had the thought of using the Internet to communicate my feelings about where humanity is headed and at the same time possibly add to my already abundant life. I Googled “make an income on the Internet.” Explosion. There was pages and pages of sites that came up on how to do that. I had no idea that affiliate marketing or Internet marketing in general was this hugely popular topic. It was like another world that I did not know existed. The humanity of it fascinated me and still does.
I carried my new age beliefs and powers of discernment with me and waded in, keeping my credit card close to the vest. I was amazed at, first of all, the language of this sector and secondly, the personalities.
I was immediately hit by the words “guru” and “creating abundance” and “the law of attraction” and on and on. So many similarities to the concepts that encompass new age talk. I stood back and looked at the whole idea of what people were doing and saw that what was really happening was that people were examining their lives and rearranging priorities. Escaping the rat race of going to work everyday, creating income for their employers and not having enough time to be with their families and to do what it is they truly enjoyed doing. Creating income while at home seems to satisfy the desires resulting from that self examination. It takes courage and trust in one’s self to quit the security of a “job” to venture out into the unknown territory of self employment, yet it is happening in droves. From my perspective it is all part of the shift.
This is all stuff that I have said in previous writings as describing attributes of the new human. The concepts of self-empowerment and following your self and trusting that the universe will provide. It doesn’t matter how we get there or what path we take as long as we all arrive into the new consciousness.
IMers are doing what I enjoy doing. Attempting to enlighten and help people arrive at where their hearts are taking them by offering them perspectives, experiences and systems to do that.
Well maybe not all of them.
Some may be just in it for the money. As if have said before. If someone does something with the sole intention of making money then usually the experience they have will be short lived and unsatisfying. The person that is doing something that they love and are passionate about will have the power of the universe to help them achieve whatever they desire. This concept is repeated constantly by many IMers.
The Gurus
If I presented this comparison to the “gurus” of Internet marketing it would probably be met with derision and laughter as sometimes people don’t want to be labeled as new age or Oprah style religion. I would understand that reaction. I see a different picture. I will cheer on anyone or any sector of society who’s intention it is to truly help people empower themselves. I see that in the Internet marketing community.
Who are some of these gurus? Here is some that I see as fitting my view of enlightened beings.
John Reese is the first that comes to mind. When I read his ebook on The Rebirth of Internet Marketing, I heard a human that was sincere about helping people achieve their independence from the 9 to 5 world. I cheered when he wrote a blog post about no longer using affiliate links in his communications. You may say that he was already wealthy enough and didn’t have to make affiliate income but I looked at it as showing his true intentions.
John is just one example that I have singled out but I see many, many IMers that show me what they are made of. Whether it be a video I watch, an article or post I read or an action of them going out of their way to help another, I see humanity helping humanity evolve.
There are people like Ed Dale who just oozes passion for what he does. Watching one of Ed’s videos, it is easy to feel that his intention is to pass on what he has learned to help others. Ed’s enthusiasm is contagious and it shows by the huge number of people that listen to him. It is that passion for what someone is doing that is the key to creating what we desire. Putting in blah returns blah. Making money is merely the byproduct of being true to yourself by doing something you are passionate about. All of which are new age messages.
My B.S. radar is very acute and there is lots of it thrown around in this sector but I also see real people with pure intentions making a difference in the lives of others.
I was listening to a pod cast with Fran Kern and Eban Pagan (how’s that for a biblical name) and they spent a lot of time talking about how what we think and believe will manifest in our reality. Sounds like something I’d say. Frank made me laugh, which he usually does, because he kept saying “now I don’t want to get all new-agey on you.” Well I say “Go for it Frank.” This is what the shift is all about. Self empowerment. Following your self. The power to create your reality lies within. The universal law of attraction, which has been discussed in Internet marketing products exhaustively since The Secret.
I also resonate with anyone who I think says what they truly feel without concern for political correctness. Rick Butts is a prime example of a person who practices, what I call, speaking from the heart. With the new human there will be no more secrets. Openness and transparency are attributes of human behavior in the new age.
I don’t know any of these people personally. I could be out to lunch about them. I look at things from a wide perspective so getting too specific with guessing about each of these named IMers’ intentions is probably not valid, but I have great confidence in my ability to feel another’s energy. I feel and watch actions much more than listen to words. Actions are truer. What I see are many individuals who are awake and aware even though they may not look at it as I do.
The Empowerment
The point of this article is not to single out any individual but to look at the overview of how Internet marketing is being used as a path to enlightenment. The gurus of IM are playing their roles.
I don’t care how this information is spread, just that it is spreading. Whatever form it takes doesn’t matter. We are examining our lives. Our priorities. Bravely stepping out of our comfort zones and having a complete overhaul of our daily lives. This is the stuff I watch for and love to see it happening right now.
Are people gravitating to the Internet because of the money? I see it as a step toward the change that I know is here for all of us. Using the Internet to create income is, as John says in The Rebirth, one of the fastest growing sectors for employment today.
I say, “Way to go guys!” to anyone who is making wholesale changes in their perspective of what this human lifetime is all about. Following themselves instead of the leader. Trusting in their abilities. Taking their power back to where it truly lays. Following their hearts instead of their heads. These are key factors in evolving humanity. It might be presented from a different angle, but it is all the same stuff.
You may not want to be called new age spiritually enlightened humans, but that’s how I see it.

There are many quick learning articles and courses out there but it is hard to find something that is applicable and effective to anyone- no matter where you are, what your background is and even how old you are.

Accelerated Learning Music
This learning technique is very effective and the great thing about it is that you can use it anywhere. Just download some baroque or rococo music into your music player and you can start learning new things faster. The way music works is that it helps a person relax and focus better on the task or lesson at hand. But since these types of music are kind of upbeat too, you would be relaxed in just the right amount.
Accelerated Learning Visuals
There are a lot of people who are visual learners. But as fast learning technique, you can be an auditory, spatial or intrapersonal learner and it would still work! When you use photos, flowcharts and other types of visual aids, your brain will be more interested in it and it will help retain that new information longer and faster in your memory bank.
Accelerated Learning Mentor
Of course, there’s no denying that one of the best ways to learn quick learning is through learning from someone who is a guaranteed master in it. The truth is, there are a lot of accelerated learning courses out there today and you could easily take your pick. If you do decide to go with an speed learning mentor, be very cautious with your research and try to know as much as you can about that person. Just remember to be really careful with who you pick and make sure that you will get the best experience and fast learning techniques from your chosen mentor.
Now that we have these very simple and effective quick learning techniques out in the open, go out there and try them yourself. Remember, the best way to see and experience real results from these accelerated learning techniques is through practice. The moment that you know how to perfectly and effectively use music, visuals and mentorship programs to use, you can go out there again and find other accelerated learning techniques that can make your life so much better.
