Synergy, Co-Creation and Unstoppable Women!

Synergy, as a natural, philosophical and spiritual principle can be defined by any of the following;

1. The combined action or operation of several parts working together to enhance the overall good of the whole
2. A mutually advantageous conjunction or compatibility of distinct business participants as resources
3.Women working together to co-create a product that will make the lives of people better

The key here is involvement and reinforcement. As a collective group, each of you in particular, will reinforce the whole (your group) by your active committed involvement to the group process. You will bounce ideas off each other through dialog. This will not be a hard thing to do. Remember, the ideas you come up with have already been thought out by the Source. There is no such thing as a stupid idea. Do you think God is stupid? Of course, not! Ideas are linked to purpose. Purpose has to do with having an aim or goal. That means the Source has an aim or goal for the good of the whole and He wants you to take place in the co-creative process. This brings us to another aspect of why ideas come: The time is right.

Timing is everything. Someone once said, “There’s nothing greater than an idea whose time has come.” Seen from this perspective we can see that the timing of an idea is directly linked to the need for the idea. For example, the car, the airplane, the telephone, and the internet all have one thing in common: All of them are vehicles to bring people together in one way or another as they bridge the gap between space and time with more speed. If we can’t connect with people physically, we can, virtually, as thousands of miles can be traversed in a matter of seconds. I find it strange that although governments attempt to fragment and separate people, drawing lines in the sands to protect their so-called piece of turf, their specific isms, or to infiltrate other cultures with their political ideologies, the universe keeps giving out ideas to bring the whole together. Don’t argue with this fact, just observe it.

Yes, the Source wants you to participate in the co-creation of your world, but he doesn’t wait for you to decide if you’re going to follow through with the idea he gives you, the idea is simply made available for anyone who will move on it. Thus, when it comes to the timing and need of inventions you will find that a single idea has the ability to move across various regions of our planet in no time flat.

For instance, it is said that New Zealand farmer and inventor, Richard William Pearse flew and landed a version of the airplane on March 31, 1903, about nine months before the Wright brothers. If you were to asked the Brazilians they would tell you Santos-Durmont invented the airplane because he rounded the Eiffel Tower in a motorized machine in 1901. The issue is not who did what first, but the fact that the idea did not belong to any one man. There really are no firsts in the realm of ideas. What I want you to pay attention to is the timing of the manifestations of the idea in this instance.

In regard to the idea of a motorized way to travel in the air, the inventors and the timing of their invention are pretty close together, no matter who did what first or who got the first patent. The fact of the matter is no single person invented all the parts of the airplane. Someone invented the wings, the tail, and various other parts. Remember earlier that I told you that ideas and their physical manifestations are a part of the universal continuum. When we bring forth an idea into this physical reality we are simply adding to the continuum. This should eliminate the need for any ego trips as you work within the group. As a side note, an argument could be made that Leonardo Da Vinci first conceptualized the idea for an airplane. Perhaps he was the first, perhaps he wasn't. The fact of the matter is this: man has probably wanted to fly every since he saw the birds do it. If you think about something long enough you will find a way to do it. That's what I want you to do--think!

We're getting ready to get into the meat and potatoes of this series of blogs: How to create wealth by meeting the needs of humanity. It's called,

No Intention--No Money--No Way to Feed the Kids! How to Create Million Dollar Ideas Through Group Synergy

When you have become aware of your desire, it’s time to add intention to it. Intention, purpose, and desire are locked together like a divine trinity.


Wayne Dyer, in his lecture, The Secrets of the Power of Intention once said, “Intention is not something that has anything to do my ego at all. Intention is a Field of energy in the universe.” That is to say, intention, as far as its use in a business model, is devoid of the need to compete against another business because the need to compete is ego based.

No matter how we try to move forward in this discussion, we will inevitably come back again and again to this theme of synergy and holism. To adopt a synergistic attitude is a far better mindset to hold than to cling to the antiquated ideas of competition and domination. The latter stem from the idea that a single part is better than the whole. In other words, most corporate thinking is based on the notion that someone has to be number one. Don't get me wrong; there's nothing wrong with a company rising to the top in its chosen field, provided that the company is not looking to cut off the head of its competitors. This has proven to be an ineffective business strategy because the cutting of heads often lead to the cutting of jobs, the cutting of benefits, reduced wages and rampant outsourcing, the dismantling of the U.S. corporate structure and family life as a whole. This is the way that men do business--it should not be your way. If you don't believe me, look around; women, by and large, did not get the country in the current fix it now find itself in. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to form a cohesive mastermind group and tap in to the power of intention. The desire to create a better life for yourself is evident. Now its time to put purpose and intention behind your desire.

The beauty behind the meaning of intention lies within this thought: All creation has been intended and created on purpose from the Source, the Field of divine energy and intelligence. As such, all things are connected by intention to intention. Thus, all things are full of the power of intention.

Remember, it has already been established that ideas are non-exclusive because they are contained within the Field. In other words, ideas flow from the Source into the minds of men and women. Thus, everything you see is a Source idea. The Source provides the ideas, the materials and the know-how to bring things into manifestation. If you and your group are really aware of the divine connection between Source and yourselves, you will tap into this Field and things will flow freely.

Again, intention flows from the Source into the hearts and minds of men and women on a non-exclusive basis. Everyone, and I repeat, everyone, has access to the Field. You are within the Field and the Field is within you. What is required is an awareness of this statement as an experiential truth. Again, intention is contained within the Field and you are a part of this Field. Thus, ideas are freely given right along with intention--to bring or manifest these ideas into tangible forms.

Do not look at intention as merely as setting your mind upon something you want. Instead, look at intention in regard to the whole. It’s not about what you want, but what is good, enjoyable, pleasurable and beneficial to the whole, including yourself. Again the ego must dissolve into the whole. This is where synergy comes in. The group process is a wonderful way of moving several women into the realm of synergy to create great products and services. Always remember, the name of the game is Synergy. But what exactly is synergy? The answer is coming up in the next blog.

No Desire-- No Money! How to Create Million Dollar Ideas Through Group Synergy

What is this thing we call desire?

Well, what do you think it is? Is it a longing or craving? Is it lust? Is it want, a wish for something? All of these things have been called desire at one time or another. Perhaps, desire is a combination of all of the above or perhaps not.
Since the description of a thing is never the thing itself, we must look outside the word desire to experience it. To truly know what desire is, you must lose every definition of the word in order to experience it. And that’s exactly what desire comes closet to; an experience. Inside the experience is an observable magnetic pull toward purpose, and only the one with the desire feels or senses this pull.

You see, in reality most people seldom come in contact with desire. Without an awareness of who we are apart from what we have been conditioned to be, our desires (or what we think are our desires) are only implanted scripts designed to get us to behave in a certain way. Thus, most people are psychologically shaped and manipulated to act a certain way to benefit other people. That is to say, most of us are like sheep headed to the slaughter, just ripe for the 'pickins' for any new psychological technique, trick or ploy used by advertisers to get us to buy things. Thus, our desires are not really our desires at all but the wants and wishes of the corporations who pay handsomely to have these advertising agencies program the brand into our conscious and subconscious minds. Wants and wishes are not true desires because they can be planted by sources outside of us. Remember, a desire is an observable inward pull to something that can only be witnessed by the observer himself.

But aren’t we going to do the same things…give people a desire for our products?

Again, do away with the word, desire, for now. You can generate or induce a want but you can’t produce or induce a true desire. You can generate a wish or craving for something, but you can’t produce or induce a desire. Shrewd businessmen and women who employ people skilled in the area of psychology do so because they want to know what drives and motivate people to buy and what makes them keep on buying. Just keep in mind that when we are talking about ideas for creating products or services for people, we are talking about tapping into what a person might want or wish he or she had to make their life a little easier. In other words, the desire originates with the individual himself through a thought. The thought is then picked up in the field of consciousness.

For instance, someone had to say to himself,
"Gee, I wish I had something small enough to carry these small items on the plane with me. I don't need a big suitcase." Enter— carry-on luggage.
or

"Boy, I want something to eat but I don’t feel like cooking anything and I can’t afford to eat out. Enter—a hot pocket or any other microwavable frozen dish.


Somewhere along the line, someone was given the idea to make these products and you can bet that someone told them it was a lame idea because the food would spoil, or that no one could use a small bag on an airplane. Of course, I couldn’t get any more basic than this. But we’re talking about the basics, aren’t we? An idea doesn’t have to be overly technical; it only has to be functional. The amazing thing about this is that the person who had the initial thought,the desire, is seldom the one who will create the product or service. Perhaps, a year or so down the line, he'll see some infomercial where some guy has taken over the idea and is now making millions off it. The most important thing to keep in mind is that a true desire originates within the person when he wants something that will make life easier for himself. As for the women reading this blog, your desire is to make your life better, happier, by becoming financially stable. This is your core desire, and no one else gave it to you. Quite to the contrary--everybody else wants your money--the bill collectors, the government, or perhaps your kids. I'm probably the cheapest guy on the block because I'll probably upload the Holistic Business Success for Women ebook to a couple of sites for less than $5.00.

All in all, if you’re reading this blog, keep in mind that desire has drawn you to it. This indicates that there is an inward pull, a knowing, that you’re supposed to bring forth something into this physical reality. You are ripe to receive a million dollar idea when you have desire.

When you have become aware of your desire, it’s time to add intention to it. Intention, purpose, and desire are locked together like a divine trinity.

Ideas; The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of

“Tell me, what exactly is an idea and how do I come up with one?”


I'm glad you asked.

Well, first of all, you—by yourself--are not going to have to come up with anything because it’s not about you, remember? It’s about the whole. You are not alone in this creative process, but will be working right along side other women who will add their intention and power to an idea that Source will give you. That brings us to this very important point: Ideas do not belong to any one individual. If Bill Gates had not received the vision for Microsoft you can bet that someone else would have. Ideas, as non-tangible thought forms, belong to the realm of the transcendent. Let’s take a look at what an idea is so that you’ll get a better picture of what I’m talking about.

An idea can be defined by any of the following:

A transcendent entity that is a real pattern of which existing things are
imperfect representations…
A visible representation of a conception: a replica of a pattern…
An entity (as a thought, concept, sensation, or image) actually or
potentially present to consciousness….

You should have picked up on the words, ‘a transcendent entity.’ When we say that something is transcendent we simply mean that something—whatever that ‘something’ is-- exists apart from the material universe.

For instance, a business entity does not have form per se, but we still treat it as a separate living thing apart from whoever files the corporate papers with their state offices. However, we are not talking about this kind of entity because this kind of entity can be seen in the material world only after the idea has taken form. This is extremely important for you to get because when we are talking about ideas we are talking about much more than the end or the manifestation of the product, we’re talking about the beginnings.

Every idea and every form for the idea already exists within the Field. When we say that someone invented this or that, the truth of the matter is that they did not invent anything—they simply acted as a channel for the idea to come into this physical reality. I know this is a great blow to ego of the inventor. But every inventor knows that his invention is part of a continuum. The inventor does not make something from nothing. Every organic and inorganic substance is indigenous, natural or naturally inherent in this environment. The purpose behind the idea is to manipulate known substances into various forms to enhance life for all creation. Thus your job is simply to receive the idea from the Field and facilitate the merging of the transcendent with the material.

You are part of this Field. Some call the Field God, Source, Goddess and various other names which attempt to capture the meaning of the Divine. In our third definition of the word, idea, you find this language: an entity actually or potentially present to consciousness. Remember this phrase; potentially present to consciousness. This ties in to the fact that the existing pattern for anything is available for download—so to speak—for every being of consciousness.
You may have always thought you were not as smart as other people, but when it comes to creative ideas, it’s not about education (though that may help) or IQ (though that may help too), it’s all about ones ability to see themselves through the eyes of the Divine and to know that God wants the very best for you in the here and now. Yes, creative ideas are not only given to help mankind but they are also given in order that you can create a better life for yourself.

Also, when it comes to ideas, don’t every try to compare yourself with anybody else. Don’t say, I’m not this or that. You are where you are right now because of your thoughts. And you can only get to the next level of financial prosperity by your thought life. Anyway, regarding smart people, there are millions of smart people in the world who don’t have two nickels in their pocket to rub together.

Now, we have determined that ideas and their patterns already exist within the Field, the Mind of God. Since we know that ideas come from the Field, let’s talk briefly about why they come.


Ideas may come at any time when any one of the following has been sent forth by any individual into the Field. We would all like to think that ideas only come to the upright or those with outstanding moral character. However, if you’re living in reality, you know nothing is further from the truth. There’s a Biblical quote that says, God makes his rain to shine on the just and the unjust.” We might also add, “He makes his ideas to fall on the just and the unjust too.” Good ideas come to those want them. That is to say, if there is no desire, there is no idea. And if there is no idea, there is no financial prosperity. Let's take a brief look at this thing called desire. It is the first of the 'big five' and a major reason why money-making ideas come.

Intention
Purpose
Need

Holistic Business Success for Women

When I first wrote the book Holistic Business Success for Women: How to Create Million Dollar Ideas Through Group Synergy, we were less than two months away from the general elections of 2008. It was mid September, and long standing corporate giant, Merrill Lynch, was forced to sell out to Bank of America and Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy to the tune of $639 billion, by far, the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history at that time.

On September 15, 2008, the Dow lost 504 points, the lowest point drop since the stock market reopened after September 11, 2001. It was estimated that about $700 billion was swallowed up in this financial fiasco. That is to say, people lost their money in their investment portfolios, retirement plans, government pension funds, and the like. Perhaps, you are one of the women who lost money in these banking crises. Perhaps you were also among the number of women who lost their house during this mortgage crisis. If you meet any of these criteria, all is not lost—even though it might feel like it.

I was hoping by the time the book came to print things would have changed hopefully for the better. But since they did not, you must learn to forge ahead undaunted by what’s happening all around you.

Security is extremely important to you, perhaps more so than men. Men somehow think they can rebound from anything. They often pack up and leave at the drop of a hat to follow what they believe is a golden opportunity. However, this is not necessarily true for most women. You think about your family first and worry about how things will get done, if you’ll be able to keep medical insurance, a roof over your head, feed your family, keep your kids in school and the like. You have always been a multitasker, juggling family, job and your relationships. The issue for you is not about rebounding from anything, but in maintaining some stability in your life.

However, nothing is ever as stable as you would like it to be, is it? The universe is never static. Everything is always in transition. Change--although you may not like it --is inevitable. Thus, changes in the your personal situation, your relationships, and the economy or inevitable. You may not like it, but it is what it is. To counter catastrophic change, you must learn to change and adapt yourself to whatever the current political or socio-economic climate is at the time. Of course, it’s very difficult to live in the world but not be a part of the world’s system or the worlds’ way of doing things—this includes business and the current way of structuring and doing business. I’m sure that it was just as difficult for business owners 2000 years ago as it is for us today. You may not think that it was but the people of antiquity might say otherwise.

Nevertheless, living in the world but never being caught up by the way the world does thing is exactly what Jesus preached to his disciples. Thus, during this period of economic change women must not respond by panic or worry. A completely different paradigm must take hold of your mind. Believe it or not, just because it seems like things are going down the tube you can ride a wave to the top. Although people suffered greatly during the great depression, there were many people who made more than their fair share during this lean time in American History.

The mind is truly a terrible thing to waste and there are many women who are not only wasting their minds—they’re losing their minds! Some women are losing their mind because they trusted men to have their best interest at heart. Since men continue to be the power brokers, the gatekeepers and lawmakers, their view of how to best implement and lead our social, political, and financial institutions has always been selfishly one-sided and primarily exclusive to anyone who does not have a penis—at least, in the top levels of our major institutions.
The narrow-minded view that competition as oppose to synergy was the way to go has come home to roost. This is not an intellectual, political or social argument. There is no argument. The fact is this: a competitive environment is often a breeding ground for greed, cut throat tactics, hidden alliances and everything else imaginable and unimaginable. It is enough to make anyone lose their respect for the corporate world, and people in general.

However, losing your mind is not an option right now. The only option for you is to do your part in changing the way business is done and in doing so create a product, related product, new media, or service that will benefit humanity and in turn create prosperity for yourself and all those willing to come on your team. In addition, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to create a new model for doing business and prove to the world the mutual cooperation is better than the competition. Inspirational author and speaker, Wayne Dyer says, “change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.”

In this blog I want to ignite a deep change in feminine consciousness, the deepest part of every woman who has a desire to start her own business or for women who already have an existing business, so that she can have greater control over her financial future without giving way to men, whose chief objective seems to always be to ‘keep women in their place.’ I want you, the divine woman, to see through to the truth of your own divinity and power to create a better life for tapping into the financial ideas that have been waiting for you since the foundation of the world.

There is no lack in the universe, therefore no lack of money in the United States or elsewhere on this planet and thus, no lack of ideas. Even though financial institutions rise and fall, I believe you can create enough wealth to weather any storm, and in doing so, bring others along with you by working together with women of like mind, like motive, and like passion, to create a sound business entity. I can think of a number of reasons why this is the perfect time for the emergence of more women businesses and the creation of new products and services.

Yes, this is your time. Women have many advantages and some disadvantages when it comes to business. Both can be used to motivate you to take more control over your financial destiny. Here are a few things to think about.


Women have a greater knowledge of products or related products because they
are the primary users of these products.
Women give greater attention to the detail of things.
Women are the largest consumer of all manufactured products.
Women are still under-represented in the business community.
Women wages still lag far behind that of men.


We heard a lot about teamwork over the years but I’m not talking about that kind of teamwork—the kind of teamwork where managers try to sell employees on their value and worth to the company in order to increase productivity and sales. No, I’m not talking about the kind of teamwork preached in boardrooms, auditoriums, or various company in-services where only lip service is paid to the customer as if he or she is a separate entity apart from the company. The truth of the matter is the customer has always been a part of the team but has had little recognition as a contributing member of the business structure. But all of that is about to change with you. You are about to come in contact with experiential synergy through the group dynamic. So gather up about four of your girlfriends—only those friends or associates who truly believe the universe has something more to offer them than doom and gloom.

In the upcoming post I will share some of the basic concepts behind group synergy and my personal matrix for creating million dollar ideas. After that, you decided if an investment of a few dollars to purchase the book is worth it.
