On Friday I attended an Extraordinary People presentation featuring spiritual leader Michael Beckwith and his talented singer and composer wife Rickie Byars Beckwith. What a fun and inspiring evening!

Michael Beckwith just embodies radiant knowing. He is alternately intense and playfully soulful, wise and wisecracking. This spiritual leadership style keeps the knowledge he shares very grounded and accessible. What he said resonated powerfully for me. He beautifully and clearly stated why tools like intuitive dream boards and “What You Notice Matters! focused attention is so vital to personal growth.

A few of the knowledge gifts that I received from Michael Beckwith’s presentation:

• We’re not anticipants, we’re participants in the flow of life.
• If you try to stay the same you go backwards because everything is moving forward
• Our potential within us is our bliss — our gifts, powers, and capabilities that bloom in our “lilies of the fields” consciousness
• The Universe will always answer our transformational questions (who am I, what are my gifts, what is the true nature of plentitude..?), but does not answer questions that come from our sense of separation (why me? why did this happen to me?).
• Love is the giving-ness of the spirit with no withhold — it is us when we simply “love to be loving.”
• The ego is concerned with “how” rather than “what.” Ego thoughts reflect what does not exist (newspaper headlines). Meditation is indistractable attention on “what is” (reality).
• When you observe, you change what you observe and you change because you observe. Observe with a desire to evolve and you have placed the observer effect on spiritual steroids.
• Living a “continual examined life” enables you to turn headlines into heartlines, in which things elicit kindness from us rather than fear.
• Play invites a heightened state of creativity and connectivity. Play and prayer vibration are the same — communion with the “is” without trying to get anything.
• We can grow through pain or insight. Growth through insight tends to be more graceful (like a practice of gaining insights with intuitive dream boards).
• Every delay is not a denial. You may need the delay to get something you need to go forward.
• We don’t want to work toward preserving the world as it is. We’re here to serve an emerging paradigm.

I left Michael Beckwith’s Extraordinary People presentation feeling great gratitude for his spiritual leadership and wisdom. What have you done lately to fill your inspirational cup? What keeps you motivated to expand into your potential?
