Sharon Ayn joined us on the show today. She is the author of five books, including the newly released Create Your Own Reality: The Ancient Wisdom. Sharon has made many appearances on radio and television, including the nationally syndicated radio show, Minding Your Business, and an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. . . What inspired you to write your latest book? . . I work with entrepreneurs and people who have been downsized, and I ve found one thing that s consistent. People know they could do better, work less, and make more money, but without someone stimulating their imagination, it s very difficult to go through a change. So the book is designed to help people realize that, no matter what s going on in their life, if they take one step or enroll one person at a time, they can change anything that isn t the way they wanted it. . When we talked before our interview, you said that this book goes beyond where The Secret took us. . . Exactly. I love the fact that The Secret brought consciousness to so many people about staying positive, but the one thing people missed is being in action. You have to be in action. It s not enough just to think about it. You have to take a proactive role in your life. . What do you think keeps people from taking action what is it that holds people back? . . Some people truly believe that they re not entitled. Some people think it s too much work to get what they want. Other people are too overwhelmed by what s first, so they just stay at what they re doing even if it s not what they want. . For someone who feels that, what would be the one thing you would tell them to work on right now? . . Make a list of all the things you want to change, but put it in the positive. I work with clients who want a better job. I get them to describe what it s like to work at the company, what their tasks are, what the people are like that they work with. And then backtrack how do we get to that point? So for anything that you want to change, what is the first step you can take to be in control? Because I think a lot of this is people feeling that they are out of control of their own lives. . That is awesome there s a lot of practical advice that people can use right away in this book. . . It s simple knowledge that most people don t apply to their own life, even though they might be aware of it. . . Oprah calls it the aha moment. What do you call it? . . It s the dawning of the day when, like in City Slickers, you get your do over . So don t think, my life is just surrounded by quagmire, all my friends are always complaining and leaning on me, my relationship isn t working we re fighting all the time, I hate my job, and all these things. Instead, think about every day being brand new. Every day, we get to reinvest ourselves. .

Jeffrey has an incredible conversation with Dr. Merlinda Arnold, an interfaith minister, psychotherapist, choreographer, and change agent recognized for the lectures and workshops she has presented internationally over the past twenty-five years to promote wholeness and peace. Dr. Arnold is also the and executive director of Sacred Way connecting ancient wisdom with contemporary insights which also produces guided tours of sacred sites worldwide. As an expert in depth psychology, world religion, mythology, and cultural anthropology, Dr. Arnold has worked with prominent scholars such as James Hillman, Joseph Campbell, Marija Gimbutas, and Matthew Fox. Dr. Arnold served as The New Seminary’s american representative in Israel during the intifada of the late 1980s and early 1990s and has led women’s groups in Egypt, Greece, and Crete, as well as throughout Europe and the Americas, to explore ancient feminine mystery rites. Her art and dance workshop program, “The Mystery Quest,” uses as a therapeutic tool a replica of the Phaestos Disk from Crete dating to 1700 BC. In addition Dr. Arnold served as New Mexico events director for the presidential campaigns of Dennis Kucinich and John Kerry, led a pro bono group for murder victims’ families opposing the death penalty, and participated in several international relief efforts, including the 2005 Tsunami Response. She also co-founded Unity in Action, a nonpartisan political organization committed to uncovering common core beliefs to foster connections among people with different political views. Dr. Arnold is the author of The Book of Grace: On the Missing Scroll of Light, as well as two other titles: Omm Sety Remembered and The Fertile Crescent Revisited: Awakening the Buried Feminine to Heal Trauma. She also produced the DVD Dancing on the Milky Way I, which was featured at the 2006 New Mexico Film Guild Festival. We last spoke with Dr. Arnold last summer about her very special role as the guardian of the Om Sety manuscripts. Since that time Dr. Arnold has been to sacred sites throughout Europe, last fall focusing on a trip to the Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. Recently she has has accomplished a great deal of research regarding the Pyramid Texts and the sacred areas of Abydos as they relate to the revelations in the Omm Sety manuscripts. This is a very special conversation and it will be presented in 3 parts because of the detail and broad based nature of it’s content. I’m sure you will find it as fascinating and eye opening as I did, and you will come away with a greater understanding of the Egyptian mystery schools and their historical underpinnings and how they relate to astrology, the development of western civilization and conscious human evolution. I also think these conversations will contribute to your understanding of the historical development of metaphysics as we know it today.

Jeffrey has a fascinating and revealing conversation with Etheric Therapist Vickie Cashman about her discovery of an ancient system of clearing and healing the inner bodies that profoundly effect our human life experience. Vickie has been involved in the healing arts for over 25 years and freely shares her incredible wisdom and findings that hundreds of her clients have found so remarkably helpful. The clearing work is based on an in-depth understanding of the 5 inner bodies and seven chakra energy system. The clearing work in this form is very unique and has a growing list of transformed clients. Here is what some of them are saying: “The clearings have removed the clutter so my inner guidance comes through more clearly. I feel more balanced: it’s improved my life tremendously.” Peggy Ludwick “After the Clearings, I feel better about myself” Stacy Simpson “After my treatment, I experienced a release from a long standing condition of stress-related headaches. I have also found that a resource from within me has been released that enables me to communicate in negative situations maintaining a clear and direct manner while at the same time being sensitive and compassionate, I expect to see more improvements as time goes on.” Jim Crowder “After a session, so many of the thoughts, actions, and beliefs I was troubled by in my life became clear as to why they had been a part of my life. Jeffrey helped in clearing a path for attitudinal and behavioral change to move forward with more grace and insight. I was so impressed with the experience, I have since given clearings with Jeffrey as gifts to friends” Karen Woodard “After the sessions I feel like I can be more myself. I feel so much better that words just can’t describe it” Lex Phillips “It’s the only healing process that has reached my real inner problems rather than treating the symptoms” Carolyn Darland The reason we need clearings is because that over the years our inner bodies and chakra s have accumulated thought forms, attitudes, judgments and beliefs which may have helped us as children, however, as adults they have become blockages which stop us from living a productive and balanced life. We feel stuck, stagnant and we don’t know why. We just know something is wrong and that life is not everything it could be. Our inner world is blocked and life gets hard and complicated. When we clear these blockages our electromagnetic river (our spirit) begins to flow. We are electromagnetic beings after all; and since we are both matter and spirit, the spirit part of us is designed to flow through every cell in the outer and inner bodies. Each cell has the intelligence and imprint of the whole, a hologram. During childhood and adult traumas (falls, accidents, abuse) the spirit flowing in each body part and chakra can become fixed or stuck in the past. These Spirit pieces can be healed and brought up to the present. When healed and in the “now”, we regain our self esteem and sense of Self. We then begin to realize the 99% of our inner world. We come out of Spiritual Bankruptcy and reconnect with our Inner Treasure, our own individual Spirit, which is connected to the Whole. I invite you to listen to Vickie speak about the discovery of this remarkable new work and how it can deeply benefit anyone. The window on the website that says 5 dimensional Clearings can be accessed if this work draws your attention and you want to know more.
