I am indeed making my way towards the personal example of how I changed my beliefs about money & how that changed my entire life. In order for you to be able to best understand, however, some other things need to be explained first. Keep in mind that this isn’t my first book (the writing of which will commence in a few weeks). While I take a great deal of time to compose & edit these thoughts, this is just my blog – my public journal. This is me practicing. It isn’t yet Pulitzer Prize-winning writing. There will be gaps. There will be repetition. There will be confusing things that I won’t fully explain. There will be things I explain over and over when you wish I would just get to the point. There will be lack of flow. This is indeed practice. But it is practice writing very real information that I believe can begin helping others immediately if they are ready.
My first intention in beginning my company was to provide a basic foundation of who I am and what I am doing that was made available to the public for free. This is, of course, the website with the blog serving as the first “active” part of the business. I know my “work” hasn’t yet been made exactly clear. However, by the end of this weekend, Phase 1 of Alyson Irene Noune, LLC will be explained as clearly as I able to do with words alone.
As soon as this week’s string of posts are concluded, the nature of my day-to-day work is going to shift dramatically. Since soft-launching on 11/30/12, the main focus has been on the writing of the blog. These next six months, however, are about showing you what I have only thus far, been using words to describe. I cannot wait to share the projects already in motion but they are indeed what I am building up to in the posts to follow this week.
On that note, what I am beginning to open up about here…this is going to take a certain level of intellect & awareness to fully comprehend. That isn’t an insult or judgement of anyone – it is a fact. This is heady, logical, philosophical, visionary stuff and ALL of it is based in very deep spirituality. There are ways to communicate it much more simply and I will be doing so very soon. That isn’t my goal with this blog, however. Not so far. Thus far, it is an outlet for me to organize my thoughts & to do so without yet having to adjust my verbosity, the complexity of some of my material, or the level of writing.
I am one intense, intellectual, metaphysical, being who has been working full time on thinking for 30 years. Thinking, organizing, connecting, and remembering amounts of information & specific details that sometimes even surprise me. Yes, it was my main coping mechanism as a mentally and emotionally advanced kid. Subconsciously, though, I have known all along this natural interest & ability was somehow tied to my bigger calling as a teacher.
I now have complete clarity on what it is that I am meant to teach to those anywhere in the world ready and wanting to learn a new approach to living life. With the internet & technology, my students will come from all over the globe. And the most important part is finally settled – I am living every aspect of my own life as the example that I want to teach. This element had to be in place before the opportunity that lies in front of me now could manifest.
Everything is aligned and ready and it has been waiting on me to give it my full 100% belief. You will soon learn, there is a direct, positive correlation between the weight a particular belief holds in your life and the time it will take you to fully believe in its possibility of coming to fruition. With the big ones…like this one of mine I am about to share with you…you will need to ‘fake it ’til you make it’ for awhile. Which is to say, you must keep practicing the thought of believing it, even when you don’t yet do so, until it becomes true all the way to your core.
I’m getting better, but given my newness to such great levels of positivity, I still can easily revert back to the “its-too-good-to-be-true” belief tendency. I am still vulnerable to not being able to fully believe it when something I’ve really wanted but never experienced (i.e. a dream) feels as if it is happening or about to come true. I can tell you this though…as you see “proof” in your own life of what I am teaching, it only gets easier to believe in the mini-miracles taking place all of the time. You too will soon easily believe that nothing is ever too good to be true.
I’ve been saying I’ve been ready for months. And I’ve meant it every time. But at the deeper level of my being, I wasn’t yet all the way ready. Now, I am certain. ‘How?’, you may ask. There have been many signs in the past weeks of how but those are to be shared at a later time. Suffice to say, two days ago, the switch flipped on this particular belief of being prepared. I am 100% primed to my core for all that is about to come into my existence. And this may or may not include you in the next few days, so I invite you to keep reading.
The dream of mine about to become actualized is the pinnacle of what used to be my wildest dreams…in less than 2 years. All due to my 10-month “healing” time in MI, which shifted everything pertaining to my belief system & thus, my reality. Specifically, it was an 8-10 week period from mid-September through November of 2010. During this time period I read about 35-40 spiritual books. As a result, my awareness of my consciousness was raised to an unprecedented level.
I read books that discussed Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Paganism, New Age faiths, and beautiful Mayan 2012 books. I read books written by more mainstream spiritual leaders – Louise Hay, Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, and Deepak Chopra. I read popular books like “The Secret” and “The Power”. And all I could do was see the same themes in every single perspective I read. The same core beliefs were at the root of every single one of these different expressions of religion or spirituality.
All of them acknowledged somewhere in their philosophical foundations the following main beliefs: a belief in a power greater than us as individuals; the interconnectedness of all life; the belief of lack of judgement; the belief of unconditional love; and demonstrating this belief in the Higher Power with faith and trust. Demonstrating that you really believe even when you can’t “prove” it or “see” it in our physical world. It was beautiful. No matter what perspective I was reading. No matter how different it was from the previous interpretation I had just read. They were all saying the exact same thing to me.
In hindsight, I found exactly what I went looking for as I ventured into the bookstore on what would become the first night of this spiritual reading marathon. I had just unloaded a lot of baggage from within me so my spirit was much, much lighter. Accompanying the lightness now, however, was a new sense of emptiness. Something deep within me guided me to the spiritual/religious section of the bookstore knowing the material there would begin to fill my void of self-love and self-acceptance.
With the very recent elimination of a large majority of my inner, negative baggage, I now had space inside for all this good stuff. These books and specifically, the core beliefs expressed in such magnificently varied manners made me undeniably aware of the illusion of separation between us and the higher power beyond us. There is no separation. That is the great secret. The power is absolutely within each and every one of us. And with this new awareness, everything in my world had to be redefined. As such, it was now beyond doubt that I was playing a drastically different game out in the world.
I had the time and the space to heal. I had the necessary open-mindedness to change perspectives. I had the willingness & the intellect to put it all together unbelievably quickly and to apply it and learn from it almost immediately. I had the strength and courage to continue to live my “new” story after my healing time concluded. And I did so with a cross-country move to a brand new city and in one of the most challenging corporate work environments out there. I have been soaring in the sky since April 2011, getting used to things up in the world of infinite possibilities. It was a very bumpy & challenging, yet fascinating & incredible adjustment period. Now, almost 2 years later, I am ready to put together everything from my life and to fully engage, for the first time, in this new world. It is going to be a show you are not going to want to miss.
