Unwanted Physical and Emotional Behavior

Unwanted
Physical and Emotional Behavior

In order to get what you want you have to know what you want. For many people that creates a dilemma. It is key to your success and your communication with the universe to know what you want from this life. Without this clarity and focus it can be difficult to guide your own destiny. Knowing what you want demands that you acknowledge who you are. Knowing what you want allows you to isolate the specific areas of this business you should pursue.

The Core of Your Wants

If the answers to all your wants are general then your chances of achieving them may be limited. What you may want are changes in your life that you believe you will get if your desire to become a successful actor comes to pass. Let’s look at your wants in relation to this business. For example, what do you want from a network show? Do you want money? Do you want respect? Do you want adoration? Do you want relationships? Do you want excitement?

You may believe that these things will make you happy. For example, you may believe that if you had the money, power, and notoriety that come from a successful professional acting career that you would be happy. So, in essence you really want to change the way you feel. Your core desire is to feel better about yourself both emotionally and physically. It is the vibration of those feelings that supports a frequency of comfort in you. But, nowhere in the history of man has becoming rich and famous assured joy and happiness. Actors tell many of their stories by creating characters that have achieved wealth and fame to still have eluded happiness.

Many of the beliefs you have about being a successful professional actor may be based on the belief that all of the rewards that come from this career will change the way you feel. It may be the feelings that you believe these things will generate that are your true search. And, once you change the way you feel, that changes the frequency level of your life transmission to the world. Thus, the way you think.

Personal Power

We all strive for personal power in three primary areas of our lives. Those three areas are our health, our happiness and our security. These things are yours for the taking because you already know what you need to do to be healthy. You already know that happiness is a perception. Therefore, it is a choice.

But, what about security? Security is an acceptance of need. You already know if your needs surpass your financial ability. You already know when you must make the money you need. And, you already know when your security is based on wants rather than needs. If not, you may need to investigate why you are setting yourself up for financial misery. It is hard to accept that you are the one creating your own lack of security by putting yourself in a financial place where you say you don’t want to be.

All of your behaviors are driven by a feeling you believe something will give you. For example, it’s not getting the soap opera role; it’s the feeling you believe will come from getting it. It’s not getting the Broadway job but the feeling you believe that you’ll get from getting it. It’s not getting married, it’s the feeling you believe you’ll get from doing it. Is there any behavior in your life that does not give you feelings that will hopefully change your life?

It may be choices in your behavior that are creating results that are counter to your desire for health, happiness and security. If you have not consciously identified your wants, you may be motivated by needs rather than wants. Remember, the universe responds to what you transmit.

If you feel you are driven by needs instead of wants, evaluate how you really feel in the big three primary areas of your life. Evaluate how you are doing in relation to the big 7 areas of your life. How are things going physically? How are things going emotionally? How about financially? What’s going on personally and professionally? How about intellectually and maybe most important… spiritually?

You want to manage your emotions so that you can achieve the feelings you believe will come with success now? You want to feel good about yourself now rather than waiting on success. You can use knowledge of the law of attraction to vibrate your energy at a frequency that will attract the kind of energy you want to experience.

Of course, becoming a star will bring personal power. It will change your life. You will have far more responsibility to yourself and to others. Are you prepared for what these added responsibilities will mean to you? How will you manage the stress and the responsibilities? How will you survive in the fish bowl existence?

Listening to your Internal Dialogue

The quest to maintain control of your destiny is in your knowing or identifying what you want and what you are communicating to the universe. What you are transmitting to the universe can be monitored by being aware of your internal dialogue. If you make yourself aware of your internal dialogue you can monitor the frequency of the life energy vibrations that result from these thoughts. Unhappy thoughts, agitation, angry internal communications, thoughts of depression and loneliness have a corresponding energy frequency that will attract the same to you. There are countless frequency transmissions that vibrate from your body at any given moment. Your goal is to be aware of those life transmitting energy frequencies and change them physically and then change the internal dialogue. But, to do this you must train yourself to listen to your thoughts, not just respond to them.

Start listening to your thoughts today. Be aware of the connection between your thoughts and your body language. Separate your feeling from your thoughts. If you feel depressed it is because you are thinking depressive thoughts. The feeling is literal in its response. It has actual measurable physical associations. It affects breathing, posture, neuro-transmitters in the brain and can be controlled by you. You can guide your body by changing your perception of your thoughts. This can be done through focus. This ability to be aware of your internal dialogue and redirect it is critical in your journey to a successful professional acting career as well as a successful life. Remember, if you want to avoid pain and experience pleasure then change how you physically feel. You will not find happiness, even in success, if you don’t find it as part of the journey as well.

Your internal dialogue is the path to your success if you learn to listen to it rather than respond to it. You can sustain your happiness while fulfilling your many new responsibilities. You can even be prepared for the responsibilities to people called fans. You can prepare yourself now for possible future negative experiences so that you are not controlled by them through your internal dialogue.

Knowing the things you want and realizing how to get them is what will prepare you for success and happiness. Remember, the more negative the thoughts are in your internal dialogue, the lower your transmitting energy level. Your internal dialogue must be monitored and negative thoughts must be replaced so that you can get what you truly want in the big three areas of your life: health, happiness and security. You can find your health, happiness and security now by listening to your internal dialogue and by replacing the negativity with more positive thoughts. These positive thoughts will raise the energy vibration to a frequency level that will attract what you desire.

Perception

Perception is the way you choose to experience your life. It is the answer to finding health, happiness and security. What can be done in your life through becoming aware of the power of perceptions is incredible. What will be done, however, can be another story. Most of the time it is not a person’s talents that get in the way of success but the perceptions that create the emotional states that derail people. When you’re feeling frustrated you are not as effective as when you are “on a roll”. However, if you become frustrated while “on a roll” that changes the frequency of your energy. If you can shift to a positive vibration you can return to the pleasurable feeling of being “on a roll”.

What you need to identify is what allows you to be the best you when you are “on a roll” and what causes your behave badly when you are not. What is it that controls your emotions and physical states? Which comes first thoughts or feelings? Is it the negative feelings of low frequency leading to the thoughts of despair, or are the thoughts of despair causing the negative feeling of low frequency? This question can only be answered by each individual with clarity and understanding.

It is my contention that it is the feeling that is attached to a thought that creates negative internal dialogue.

In either case the solution to it is in your control. You can choose how and what you are thinking about. You can choose to be consciously tuned into the vibrational frequency of your physical body.

Whether you are aware of it or not you decide each day if you will stay depressed. You decide each day if you will let everyone you come into contact with know how miserable you are. You decide each day how you will project your emotional need states. You decide each day to let your feelings lock into negative or positive thoughts.

So what if you have a bad day; so if you decide “today I’m going to behave badly.” This is your right if it is a clear choice. If you choose to wallow in darkness, then you should go for it. But, you might want to discover why you choose something that brings pain and discomfort to you. It just may be that an unconscious need is being fulfilled through your bad behavior.

Once you are aware of how you perceptions operate you can use true logic that brings out the best you. You can learn to manage your perceptions so you can be productive and powerful within the goals that you seek. You can do this by deciding to take control of the feelings and thoughts that control your consciousness.

In order to control perception you must make a choice. You can choose to stay with the negative thoughts that support staying in the low frequency energy transmission. Or, you can choose to change your perception and thereby forcing your energy to adjust to the frequency needed to support the positive perception. You must make the decision when needed and, it will take practice. It will require that you make the choice over and over again. But, you will prevail.

Remember, true logic is always choosing a perception that brings out the best you. You can learn to manage your perceptions so you can be productive and powerful within the goals that you seek.

During the week become more aware of your thoughts (internal dialogue) and compare those thoughts to your physical body's presentation. If you realize that you are slump shouldered and listless change your body position. Become a winner physically and see how your thoughts change.

I wish you well,
Russ

Choice and Storytelling

Choice and Storytelling

Choice is what storytelling is all about. Your responsibility to the characters you create is fundamental so that they can make choices that reflect their on circumstance of knowledge and clarity. Your understanding of the character’s need to make choices based on the limited knowledge he has about that which he fears. As the story progresses more knowledge will be acquired and better choices will be made. With better choices coming from more knowledge the character will begin to make stronger and more life affirming choices. You will allow your character to make bad choices by not giving them knowledge that you possess but that they have not yet acquired.

Hope for the Future

Hope for the Future is the ultimate goal for the everyman character as he is taken on a journey to overcome a fear. As we know a story is created by the use of three positions of play. The everyman is the character that has the problem. He is also known at the hero or protagonist. The dragon is the character that is the physical manifestation of the everyman's fear. This character is also known as the antagonist. It should be known that because a character is a dragon to one person does not mean he is an antagonist or dragon to another. People fear many things and those fears will be manifest in a physical form.

The third major character in the telling of the story is known as the bird. This is the character who appears when everyman has come to the end of his/her knowledge and energy base in order to defeat his/her dragon. This character will appear and give the everyman character the knowledge and strength that he needs to defeat his fear. In more classical works the bird character will often sacrifice himself in this effort. I will have much more to discuss on these positions of play as your understanding of the position of play best suited for you will define the success of your career. A story is told through a series of choices. As the story progress the knowledge to make better choices evolves and the story unfolds. The use of the three positions of play (everyman, dragon, bird) will be structurally laid out based on the needs of the genre being used. From a structural understanding of storytelling it is the everyman's subconscious that seeks to achieve hope for the future. What is that hope? The hope is that the knowledge that he/she acquires and the choices that he/she makes will elevate his/her spiritual worth, in death, to become part of All That Is. Everyman is what we understand to be the individual of focus in the journey of a story. But, we are all the everyman in our own life story. We have things to learn and choices to make. Our greatest lesson is to understand the unique position of being one of the creatures of the earth that has evolved to the circumstance of making choices. Those choices are first based on the earthly side of our reality. The human side. The part of us that is mindlessly seeking to survive at all cost. The choices are based on instinct of selfish survival. As the mind develops we will acquire knowledge that will allow us to see the world differently.

It is the knowledge that will guide us to seek a spiritual understanding of our unique position in the world. Those things that we fear and often try to avoid are the things that force us to make selfish and often destructive choices. Those choices that are always destructive to our hope for the future often, if not always, effect the hope for the future of those who are part of our reality. This by family or association. We are also the dragon or antagonist in the lives of others. In their world of being an everyman we are the physical manifestation of their fears. It is what happens when we bully others. And, let it be known that this bullying is done not only by deed but also by thought. We are also the bird in the lives of others. There are those in our lives that we unselfishly would sacrifice whatever necessary for their well being. More often than not we become the dragon/antagonist to those who in truth we would believe ourselves to be their bird. What causes this to happen is one of the purposes of storytelling. It is the effort of the storyteller to define those positions of play so we see how they might relate to our own lives.

Our journey of life is to separate ourselves from the need of survival at all cost to the verities of those cost. Verity being established truths and the principles by which wise and compassionate individuals strive to live their life. The everyman character represents the audience. It is the character that the audience will follow. They will understand what that character is doing and why. The audience will have advanced knowledge as to the choices the everyman character is making and desire for him/her to do better. Hopefully but the end of the story they will have learned enough to do better. In a tragedy they will not.

The same could be said for the actor. He/she is looking at the choices that they are making toward their career and begin to understand those choices that are not working. But, you may want to recognize those choices that are resulting in becoming a dragon to someone else and justifying those choices as unacceptable. There is no justification for a choice that results in making you the dragon in the life of someone else. Never! However, we can use those unfortunate choices to acknowledge the things that we fear. It is fear of something that must be eliminated. The something must be named so that the knowledge needed to destroy the fear can be acquired.

The difference in life and storytelling resides in the emotional position taken by the participants. In the world of storytelling the character purposely is allowed to behave badly as he/she is being thrust toward the journey of fighting a fear. In life, however, one should strive to be the best they can as they seek to unfold those things they fear. With this emotional clarity we can work to dis empower them. Those things/people/circumstances that make us angry, distraught, irrational, hurt or hurtful are based on things we fear. The circumstance of the fear, be it person or thing, is about an individuals fear. The collective power of that fear is irrelevant. The individual must address and conquer the fear as an individual. That means the fears are based on things we, as individuals, do not understand.

The beliefs that one has that keeps them from addressing and overcoming a fear can only be based on the earthly part of their duality (body/spirit). These beliefs are based on survival at any cost. These beliefs must be acknowledged as false beliefs. They can and must be changed by acknowledging the verities of life that an individual needs to hold in finding peace and self-worth. This is done with knowledge and determination. It is important to be able to read another person. It is also important to read ourselves. What does this mean? We read someone by their behavior. We read people based on their presentation emotionally and verbally. Characters present themselves a certain way. They behave badly or they behave with civility. Their presentation of behavior is based on their desire for an outcome or their desire to manipulate a situation. We do this in life as well. However, if you learn the language of peoples emotional presentation and learn to read them you can begin to understand your own.

Emotional Need Projections

This recognition can come by being aware of Emotional Need Projections. This term, emotional need protection or ENP, is the way I believe people try to transfer the responsibility of their pain to someone else. It is a term I have created that can be used for the world of the character as well as the world of the actor. An Emotional Need Projection is how someone physically projects and justifies the excuses of their choices. A choice only needs a justification if it is based on false beliefs or personal fears. It is how a person can transfer their accountability for their behavior onto other people. Therefore, ENP’s are emotional needs through physical presentation. It is the emotional expression you put on your face and into your body language. It is the choice of language and the often irrational use of condemnation for things we don't understand.

These physical, emotional and verbal presentations are used to let others know what responses you are seeking from them. In truth you are seeking to be comforted from something you fear. You are, in fact, projecting what you need fixed in you. It is a subconscious plea using the conscious sense of control. For example, if you are behaving badly and showing someone that you are aloof or non-responsive, you are really asking to be acknowledged and supported. You are asking to be comforted and soothed from your loneliness.

Of course, the irony is that you never get that response. We do not recognize these behaviors as emotional need projections. Not at all. We recognize them as attacks and some form of aggression. We recognize them as personal affronts to us as individuals. When others present themselves to us badly we do not see their behavior as an emotional need projection. We deal with their presentation as an attack on us, not as a need from them. Based on our "right of relationship" with the individual, we respond only in relation to us. What is being done to us? How dare you speak to me that way? Don't you know who I am? How dare you project your need to me? Am I my brothers keeper?

Am I? Would you walk away from someone who you knew was in physical need? Would you walk away from someone who was bleeding or gasping for breath? Most of us would not. However, we frequently respond to someones emotional pain by reflecting it back and adding to its injury. That is who we are as people. We go to defense. We do not allow ourselves to understand how the human species operates in fear and denial. Storytelling is part of this understanding of denial.

What is it that continually allows us to use our own ENP as an operating procedure in life. We use them because we have not addressed consciously what it is that we are doing. Our subconscious is giving us a guide to our personal fears and prejudices. The subconscious is that part of us that is trying to override our refusal to address our fears and move our lives toward clarity and peace. Your own emotional need projections must be addressed by you. You must train yourself to watch what you do and how you behave so you can find the power to be all that you can be. Discover your own subconscious pleas for help in the fighting of your own pain of denial.

What is it that we deny. Our ignorance. Ignorance is what we deny in ourselves. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge. Knowledge is there for the taking. Why is the pursuit of knowledge resisted by so many? The answer is simple. The pursuit of knowledge indicates that we don't know something. And, that becomes a conscious acceptance of being vulnerable. The mindless body, once having access to your thoughts, will reek havoc on your presentation with people. That is why it is most important to translate your own subconscious and then seek the knowledge to remove your own pain and fears. You must also know that the frequency (intensity)of your projection is directly related to your personal power. Remember, your personal power can be used for good or evil. Why do good people do bad things? They make bad choices. Choices that result in pain or suffering to others must be recognized before they are acted upon. Otherwise, fear will take control of your thought process and make additional bad choices rather than the quest for knowledge.

As you know like attacks like. Your emotional need projections will attract the same defensive response. Your subconscious can only hope the day will come that you will see that your emotional need projections are for you to understand. Once you understand how to read your own emotional need projection you can begin to "read" others. That's right. Once you can read your own pain you can read the pain of others. You will then be able to circumvent their pain with compassion and understanding without feeling that you have been compromised.

The everyman in your life is you. The actor who can interpret his own use of emotional need projections has the power to interpret the emotional need projections for his character. You then become the subconscious of the character in its quest to get everyman to wake up and smell the coffee. You then become the subconscious of the character in its quest to inspire "everyman" to get a grip and take change of his own destiny.

Without a communication between your spirit and your body you leave yourself open to attracting what you fear. This lack of communication will not attract what you want. Your behaving badly is a sure fire way to get what you don’t want. There is no other possibility. Therefore, you must learn to translate this effort of your true self, your connected to the universe self, to guide you by you own emotional need projections.

Yes, the characters that you play must experience behaving badly to be effective in their personal journey. You, one the other hand, can not behave badly to get them there. Your translation and efforts are to reside in the character's subconscious. You will become for the character what your subconscious is trying to be for you. As we have discussed, you want your life energy frequency level to be at its highest talent (achievement) position to date when working in your professional arena.

You also want to have this control of your highest energy frequency level to date in your other life areas as well. Behaving badly is your subconscious communication to your own personal growth. Know how to read it in all areas of your life and control your behavior. Recognize your use of ENP’s in your personal life. This recognition can empower your best you. What is your best you? It is that awareness that life is a shared adventure in an individualized compartment of thought. If you realize that you have a collective communication device in that individual compartment that feeds you those things that need to be changed using your EMP communication with others, you will be headed toward your dreams (visions of expectation) and toward your hope for the future in this life.

Internal Character of the Actor

I believe the internal character is that entity in the heart and mind of you that compels you to be an actor. It is the part of the actor that can only go to make believe if the actor has done all the work necessary for the character he/she is playing to live in their world. Once the actor has gathered the knowledge and done the repetitions necessary to go to Talent the character that lives inside the actor is allowed to be the character in the story. Once this is done the actor's energy, in make believe, unites with the energy of the audience and gives the audience the experience of physical and emotional healing.

When you create a character, your ability to let the character behave badly through the use of his ENP, is fundamental to his/her interest and believability. By becoming aware that this process of behaving badly is a communication between the character and his subconscious, still falls on deaf ears. Your awareness of the ENP's true purpose will give you first hand insight into the conscious tricks your character is using to cast the blame of his circumstance in the telling of the story. The more control you have over your best you and the energy and talent you acquire from it, the faster you will begin to draw to you the energy flow of divine inspiration.

Gaining talent in every area of your life will guide you in your quest for a healthy and happy professional career. Talent is energy that has been harnessed to keep you at a frequency level that will attract the power of the universe. Talents that you achieve allow you to go to that place called Talent; a place of energy transfer and non fear.

Behaving badly will not get you the response that you may believe you deeply need and deserve. It will, however, guide you to your personal need to communicate with yourself. Your subconscious can only communicate with you by using your conscious minds operating procedure. Often that operating procedure is controlled by your mindless creature taking control of your internal dialogue and thought patterns. When that results in behaving badly and thoughts of frustration and anger, depression and worthlessness or destructive choices then you can be sure that your subconscious is telling you to change.

Emotional Need Projections are always based on bad behavior or poor me presentations. Emotional Need Projections are always at a frequency level that match its ferociousness. Emotional Need Projections, recognized or not, are always an effort by your subconscious to communicate to you a path to wisdom.

All your characters you will play have one thing in common. Like most individuals they have not learned that behavior is about self awareness and personal growth. They havae not learned that their personal behavior is to guide the individual to the life they want to live.

You do not want your life to be constant presentations of emotional need projections that allow you to behave badly in your quest for comfort and compassion. You do not want to be bound to a life energy frequency that can only attract to itself those things you say you want to avoid. You do not want the relationships in your life to allow behaving badly as an operating procedure.

Recognize your use of emotional need projections. Know that they are an indicator of your projected life frequency. Accept that your presentation is nothing more than behaving badly. Celebrate in the knowledge that your subconscious is using your emotional need projections as a personal communication to what must be changed in your life. Be joyous in knowing that you are connected to the universe by your subconsious.

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” The answer to our hope for the future has been with us from our earliest childhood memories. However, hearing something and knowing the how of something are usually two different things. You are an individual and your quest is to understand how the whole of us communicates to the individual. It is done by the subconscious of your reality.

Have a wonderful week. Step outside of yourself this week as you pontificate to those in your world. Realize that you are really communicating with yourself. Are you happy with that relationship?

I wish you well,

Russ

The Frequency of Your Energy Transmission

Accepting Personal Career Growth
Catch yourself using negative thoughts about career questions, especially as things change for you. If someone should say to you, “How is your agent working for you?” and your response results in your puffing up and responding defensively, then this pattern of response must be changed. You are using a negative frequency that will only attract to it additional negative responses. You can change your frequency/energy level.

Make yourself aware of what emotional feelings are creating the physical response of ‘puffing up’. Become aware of the belief that you have that has created the negative response. Is it your belief that your agent is not working for you? Why not? Is there no work? Are no actors working who are represented by your agent? An agent is the hired salesman for your company’s product. Few companies could survive if their sales department did not fulfill their contract. That contract cannot be fullfilled if the product that the salesman is representing is not competitive in the market place. You negative energy frequency, supported by your thoughts, is only going to make your product (energy radiating from a package) less competitive.

You want to continue to work on creating the knowgedge and talents you need to be a sellable product. You must work on your craft with daily, talent driven exercises. This process will change your energy frequency by changing your physical activity and consequently replacing your thoughts with other thoughts that are being supported by your life energy being placed into high gear.

Turning Achievements into Higher Frequencies

When you didn’t have an agent, you may have also "puffed up" and become defensive because you couldn't get one. But, now that you do have an agent your behavioral patterns remain the same. If this is true, then something is out of whack. That something may well be the frequency of your life energy. You may not have registered the progress of your career that took place when you got an agent. That career progress should have moved your physical energy frequency to a higher working level. When you got the agent you may not have accepted your personal growth. You may not have changed the belief in yourself. You may not have adjusted your working energy position at a higher frequency purely from achievement. You may now be disappointed in the results you’re getting from your agent. However, the lack of results may be coming from your first not supporting your achievement of having gotten an agent. Getting an agent is a huge achievement. Therefore, your pattern of response to yourself should be different. Your pride and accomplishment factor should be elevated.

Your life frequency should be vibrating at a higher base level. If your patterns of disappointment never change as your achievements expand then no joy is being derived from your growth. You are using the same beliefs of disappointment and failure which negate the pleasure received from elevating your life’s operating frequency and moving forward on a higher frequency/energy level. You most definitely want to create an actual event association for achievement by accepting the new feeling with which you are experiencing your life. You want to understand the importance of becoming aware and support a continuation of the new physical feelings derived from achievement. Your transmission frequency must move up a notch. You want to use that feeling, that may be translated as elation, and maintain it as you acknowledge you are making progress. Feel it in your very being. Then you want to maintain that new level frequency.

You do not want to revert to a lower functioning energy frequency because you did not make yourself aware of the new physical feelings that translate to higher confidence and career control. You can then use your achievements and resulting new physical placement to reevaluate the playing field. Don’t base your internal dialogue on past feelings. Base your internal dialogue on your present achievements and the resulting physical joy of accomplishment.

Do not let the physical feeling of achievement drop away as time moves on and the thoughts of achievement diminish. Otherwise, you are making emotional responses on misinformation. You are refusing to update your data base with your progress. You are not allowing yourself to shine brighter from your core. You should explore your beliefs about your personal achievements. Allow yourself to use the sense of physical pride in your achievements to move you toward a stronger energy base. Be sure you alter your beliefs in relation to your achievements by registering the powerful new feelings of empowerment. Let each new achievement diminish your level of pain and move you toward the feeling of pleasure.

Each achievement, physically recognized, can support a more powerful feeling of future efforts. This can only happen if you physically register the feelings the success gives you at the moment. Otherwise you are experiencing no growth as the growth is going on. Don’t miss out on your advancements. Don’t miss out on your ability to up the wattage of your life energy frequency and transmission. If you don’t you may run the risk of missing out on the joy of the journey. Without awareness of your newly achieved wattage increase you run the risk of another period of inactivity. You may be unknowingly continuing to link pain to your successful results.

There is a possible reason why you would not take advantage of the new energy placement of positive results. Your negative habits and non-supportive patterns of physical behavior may continue to stop you from changing your life energy transmission frequency. You may not be allowing your achievements to give you the feeling of accomplishment. Your feelings might be left in the control of the other you. This can happen if you have not learned how to acknowledge and reposition your control of your own energy frequency and transmission.

What is the other you? It could be the frightened you we all carry inside. We must remember that the frightened you lives by fear. And fear as an operational procedure can only be removed with knowledge.

Each achievement you make is the result of knowledge in action. You do not want the fear to maintain control of the other you simply because you did not create a communication between your new knowledge and your old beliefs. This communication can be achieved by recognition of each achievement with feelings. Interrupt your pattern of avoidance with literal physical feelings that accompany your positive results.

This communication would be a pattern interrupt process. You become aware of the power of your new knowledge and, through physical repetition, you create a talent for physically feeling at a higher level. You want to create a talent for expecting to feel stronger with each new achievement.

You can create a talent for expecting to feel a stronger physical presence as you grow. You can support this physical feeling growth by acknowledging it in all seven areas of your life. Let achievements and accomplishents in one area of your life support your physical power in all areas of your life (emotional, financial, intellectual, physical, professional, personal and spiritual).

Remember, internal dialogue (the voices inside your head) that supports old beliefs after new achievents and advancments have been accomplished only means that your communication with your physical power is not working at expected growth potential. It could mean that old fears, even though proven to be overcome by knowledge, are still being maintained. That could be the result of a false sense of security. It could be the fear you refuses to let go. The fear you may feel (it does not operate on thought, only you allow that to happen) that the discomfort of the old is perhaps safer than the possibility of the new.

The Literal Physical Feeling of Achievement

How does it literally feel to know you have made achievements over the last year? It should literally feel good. You may have refused to let yourself literally feel the physical pleasure in what you have done. Without creating awareness of your literal physical feelings through energy frequency, your thoughts of inadequacy may well continue. The thoughts may continue because you are still judging yourself with an energy feeling at the lowest level of your achievements.

This can and must stop.

Learn how to enjoy your growth. Understand that your growth is about the use of your life energy at a frequency of higher power and a higher base control. Accept that this feeling is physical. But, please do not confuse feelings with thoughts. They are not the same. One is the result of the other. Catch yourself saying thing like "it makes me feel sad." The thought is your translation of the feeling. You can control that.

You want to accept that through the acknowledgement of personal achievements your energy frequency is higher than it was before. Along with this movement to a higher energy frequency level for continued growth comes the dicodomy that when you get down and depressed your lower frequency or energy level is also more powerful. You now have more power to be negative as well. Therefore, you must constantly work at maintaining control of those things that get you down. You must seek out what they are and work to change them.

As your growth as a human being is expanding so is the power of your attraction. You are attracting energies and responses of more growth driven members of your species. You are pulling yourself toward accessing the generating power from the universe. Change the awareness of your level of energy and the level of your career and personal growth will continue. It’s a matter of choice. But, don't forget choices are made with existing knowledge. As your knowledge increases your choices will become better. In the telling of a story we watch the everyman character make choices on the knowledge that he/she has. As the story progresses hopefully the character acquires more knowledge and his choices become better or clearer to his true intent.

Our goal as human beings is to acquire the knowlege to make our choices true to our purpose and perhaps more spiritual in relation to impact on others. We want to acquire the knowledge to eliminate a fear and be able to make choices based on being clear as to the effect our choices have on ourselves and others.

Someone asked the me the other day what being spiritual meant to me. I first responded that I was unsure of the answer they were seeking as I was unsure of there understanding of the term spiritual. For me, I know it has nothing to do with being religious. To connect spirituality to religion would be an audacious expectation. As I see it they have nothing in common.

I reflect on my belief about my own sense of the spiritual. I believe my spirit is the part of me that is in constant battle with the earthly me. The earthly me, as I have talked about before, has a simple desire; survival at all cost. This earthly side of me makes every effort to use my thoughts and my beliefs to support its need to be.

In my quest for a stronger spiritual existence I desire to understand how to be more grateful. I want to understand how to be more gracious. And, most of all, I want to learn to be more compassionate in my journey for knowlege. I believe I am one with everything and therefore responsible to those whose choices come from fear and ignorance.

I strive to overcome my physical need to survive at all cost and I seek a stronger communication between my life energy and the frequencies with which I transmit that life energy. I am determined to make my journey of living more loving and kind for those I am fortunate enough to have cross my path. It is an ongoing process to be sure. It is often meet with disappointment in my choices but, none the less, it is my effort.

Have a great week and know that you must acknowledge how your life energy is used by you. You must be aware of the frequencies that you use and the power that you control. It is your energy and how you use it that will determine your success in show business as well as the business of life.

I wish you well,
Russ

Commitment to Change You are able to anticipate the changes in relation to your life and to your career over the next 3-5 years. That can happen if you change the patterns of your behavior? You will get the results you want and you will be happy with the results you get once you recognize the original events you have associated with pain in relation to your present patterns of behavior. You can create the incentives you need by changing the power your pain has over you. You can change the pain to pleasure by defined action. It is your commitment to change that will make this happen. It is your commitment to examine all areas of your life. By examining all areas of your life you can recognize the things that are getting in the way of your taking defined actions and moving forward. You can recognize the beliefs you have that need to be changed. Then you can empower any defined action you take to get positive results. You do this by recognizing your fears and your past negative fear results. Once you implement the changes, you will be reconditioning yourself for your ultimate goals of health, happiness and security. If you do this within all the seven areas of your life (emotional life, financial life, intellectual life, physical life, personal life, professional and spiritual life) you will recognize the problem areas. You will be aware of the things that you have been trying to avoid. You will see how this avoidance has kept you from moving toward your desired success. Once these fears are acknowledged you can disempower the feelings that create that give you pain. You can then seperate yourself from the connections to past negative events that are secretly keeping you down. Remember, it is the awareness of your use of “but” and “we” thoughts and excuses that are your personal guide to finding the things in your life that must be changed. And, also remember, what you choose to believe about anything should have one major criteria. It should be a belief that will make living your life and pursuing your dreams easier. True Career Desires Make sure that acting is the career you want. The only way to do this is by working as an actor. If you don’t have the opportunities or competition skills to get a role in one of the major markets (NYC or LA), then use your imagination. Perhaps you can find a relative or friend who lives in a small or midsized town that has two or more active community theatres. Find out what their upcoming season of plays will be. Get their season dates for auditions and show runs. Select the play or plays that have lead characters you feel are right for you to play. If you don’t know the plays, get them and read them. Ask knowledgeable friends. Then, go to that town and audition for the roles. Prove to yourself that you can be cast. When you get an acting role of substance, stay there with your friend or family member, find a part time job, and complete this mission. Feel the power of being cast and then the power of acting for your spirit! No career will be successful for you unless it is tied to your passion. Acting is a calling. Acting is also a gift so make sure you have the strength to respond to the call. Only if it is truly your passion will you be able to endure the hardships of the journey. The actors who make it in this business are the ones who develop a reason for doing so. These actors have placed a meaning on the hardships that give them a feeling of pleasure even during times of apparent rejection and disappointment. Successful actors maintain an energy frequency of action consistantly. Also, if you think that you’re giving up too much to pursue your acting career, then you are. If you believe that the other areas of your life are more powerful than your professional self, then your potential success is deeply compromised. These types of thoughts should indicate to you the energy frequency you are transmitting to the industry. You must challenge these thoughts that come from the other areas of your life if they are counter to your achieving a successful acting career. If you believe acting is your calling but you are not working in the business try changing the beliefs you perhaps have attached to the fear of rejection. Do this by attaching those usless beliefs to beliefs of achievement and perseverance. You can change these usless beliefs by recognizing them. Once this is done you can take action using an awareness of your life energy frequencies. Make your career happen by using energy frequencies of positive attraction. You can change what you believe about agents and the fact that you don’t have one so it reflects a frequency of agent attraction. You can change the beliefs you have about auditions so it reflects a frequency of attraction. You can change your negative associations about taking acting classes from a negative frequency level to a positive frequency level. You can change your beliefs about money as the reason for LACK. You can change your belief that money problems can be solved with money. You can change your life energy vibrations. The Relationship Compromise You need the other areas of your life to be supportive collectively of your professional growth. You cannot do this if you are dedicating your life to another person’s dreams and aspirations. A successful professional acting career cannot be a part time effort. If you are putting your career on the slow path for the sake of the “money maker” in a relationship you might want to re-evaluate your position. This strategy could prove to be blind trust and a painful reckoning once the recipient of your support has finished using you. If this has happened to you, don’t blame the recipient of your effort. It was/is a your choice you were/are making to divert your energy and effort. It is always your choice not to be aware of the energy that you transmit. You may have your reasons but (behold underlying truth) it is often used as a wonderful victim excuse. Analyze your relationship circumstances wisely and make sure your relationships are not created to give you excuses to maintain an energy frequency that keeps you from pursuing your career with the dedication and zeal that is required. By the same token, make sure you are not in taking advantage of someone’s love for you only to drop them once you may think your ship is coming in. You don’t want that karma coming along with your career growth. Knowing What You Want If you don’t clarify what you want out of this career then it is pretty difficult to recognize the things that get in your way. You can not set the frequency of your energy if you are unclear of how it will feel to achieve your goals. Understanding you life energy frequency is important. It is the vibrations of your energy that set the frequency of you life transmissions. I will discuss this in more detail later but for now just be aware that it is your life transmission that you must hand over to the character inside of you when you go to make believe. Each thought from every area of your life indicates the frequency of the life energy transmission you are using. You can only control these thoughts through desire, dedication, determination and discipline. The power of the Four D’s is paramount to your success. The understanding and use of the four D's are the paths to your awareness and accountability. You want to acknowledge the things you desire from a successful professional acting career. Perhaps: You want recognition of your talent and abilities. You want respect and admiration from family, friends, peers and fans. You want financial security and all the rewards and material possessions that come with it. You want the satisfaction that comes from a job well done. These are the rewards of people in other careers who have achieved success. No matter what field you pursue, once you have been elevated to the top, you receive all of the wants you have listed. Secret Anger You might secretly resent this business for not returning your affection. You could unknowingly be angry with the business. This could be the case if you find that you are constantly negating others efforts. You may find criticism with the efforts that others are making. If you want this career to return your sense of believed affection then you must be more open with your affection to others working toward it. You must temper your degree of dissatisfaction to others efforts. You can make this career open its doors to you. This is a business with rules and secret passwords. Use the right life energy frequency for ambition and action and it can be yours. Appreciation and genuine excitement for the efforts of others seeking success in this business will set a frequency of your life energy that is far more powerful that you might imagine. This business is not controlled by supernatural forces of good and evil. This business does not have the power to include or exclude anyone. It works, however, with the laws of nature. As we have discussed, this profession, like most everything, is controlled by the laws of attraction. It gives what it gets. With enough knowledge and effort any business, governed by science, can be penetrated. You know that this is a business that requires personal contact for advancement. Let’s say you decide to get new headshots and do a new mailing. You decide to send out to everyone listed in The Ross Report or other industry information service. You send out 100 pictures and resumes. Your chances of a response are slim, at best. Mass mailings are seldom effective. Every piece of mail will arrive looking like a piece of mass mail. In mosst cases it will be discarded. It is not personal nor does it make the person receiving it feel particularly special. You want be looked at as an individual in the business and so do your buyers. You must imagine yourself in the situations you expect to find yourself. You want be able to literally feel the actual connection with the people you pursue. You want to literally feel yourself shaking their hands as you are seated in front of their desk. You want to literally feel the joy of signing a contract. You want to literally feel the pleasure of their being at your opening night. To do this you must select your buyers based on the compatibility of your product to their needs. The successes of your efforts are in relation to your understanding of the needs of the business and your ability to accomadate those needs. Have a wonderful week. Let yourself feel and be special. You are you know. There is only one of you forever and always. Take advantage of that knowledge. I wish you well, Russ
