The following are questions submitted in a recent webinar I held in October titled "Master Your Reality". Each week a few new questions and responses from the event will be posted.
QUESTION: Why is it that some days you feel peaceful and happy. Then the next day even when trying to stay positive and it seems like the universe is against you and you cannot get ahead?
RESPONSE: Peace and happiness stem from acceptance and faith. This is a faith and understanding in your ability to be and experience anything you set your mind towards. On good days you know the limitless possibility that is always in front of you and you are working towards the manifestation of that possibility which breeds hope.
A negative mindset stems from and idea of personal imperfection, denial, resistance and a limited view on what is possible; the loss of hope. Things happen to us each day to reveal the truth to us and it is up to each one of us as to how we choose to experience and react to these “happenings”. We can see them as setbacks or we can have faith that they are part of the larger learning experience we are on to get to where we said we ultimately wanted to go in life.
Life is not a straight line. There is and ebb and a flow to it. The greater your awareness of the true nature of all things the more you flow and the less you ebb. And when you do ebb you are able to pull yourself out in a much shorter experience of time. In the down moments remember all you do have and all that is yet to come for you because you have always been worth it. This is “will” check time (kind of like gut check time). How badly do you desire to experience the life you dream about big or small. There are perceived obstacles to every path, however it will be your will, desire and the realization of your birthright for joy and peace that sees you through to many more peaceful days.
QUESTION: Some teachers very strongly suggest that we come to peace with the fact that there is a greater master plan at work in all our lives and once we release our need to control the outcome of the events in our lives then we will find ourselves at peace. On the other hand, many others teach that we are here to create our own realities. I believe these two can co-exist but I haven't yet figured out exactly how. What are your thoughts on this, Howard?
RESPONSE: Both ideas clearly understood are a powerful combination. Since everything we do ultimately is for our perceived survival, when we realize that our survival is never in doubt we are free to create without limits and expectations, putting us in the most powerful and liberating state of mind in existence.
The master plan is infinite life and limitless creativity. So it is not about losing your desire for the creation and outcome you wish for, it is about realizing you don’t NEED the outcome to happen to survive. By releasing your need you create from a state of unconditional love. Nothing is more powerful than this energy of thought. Control comes from need. Need comes from fear. Fear comes from the desire to survive. When you create without the need to control the outcome because you have come to an understanding and faith in the ultimate outcome, your creativity and experiences will know no limit. There will be no end to your joy.
QUESTION: How does one learn to control ones appetites and addictions?
RESPONSE: Control indicates forced action. Forced action is draining and usually doesn’t last. The question you may want to ask is how does one transcend addiction? Addiction is a means to an end that never comes, hence the addiction. To transcend it you will need to find the beliefs you hold that cause your normal state of mind (without the addictive property) to become so negative that you crave relief. This discovery will take a will and desire for real change and will lead you down a path of deep self-inquiry and awareness. With a consistent dedication for your desired reality these poisonous beliefs will ultimately be discovered, dissolved and replaced by new ones that empower you in a way where there is no more addiction because there is no longer a poor state of mind that you seek relief from.
QUESTION: Are we supposed to choose who we want to be? Or do we just reveal who we truly are already?
RESPONSE: Both - Through the process of self-awareness we reveal more of who we really are, which empowers us to be even more limitless as we create who and what we choose to be, which reveals more of who we really are, which empowers us to be even more limitless as we create who and what we choose to be, which reveals more of who we really are, which empowers us to be even more limitless as we create who and what we choose to be……………….

Questions & Answers About Life Part 2
The following are questions submitted in a recent webinar I held in October titled "Master Your Reality". Each week a few new questions and responses from the event will be posted.
QUESTION: How can I accept that everything happens for a reason when I am at my breaking point while I am going through the process?
RESPONSE: You do not have to accept this. You can choose to see nothing but randomness or bad luck but it will bring you no closer to a solution for your perceived problems. Accepting that things are happening for a reason gives you the chance to discover where the reality before you is coming from.
Accepting that there is a purpose puts you in the path to find it, resolve it and hence change your reality so you no longer feel like you are at a breaking point. Acceptance IS the beginning of the pathway to change.
QUESTION: Can you please talk more about how the universe is a giant mirror? What does that mean for our behavior and the way we think? How do we use this knowledge to our advantage?
RESPONSE: What you believe is true is mirrored in the way you act. The universe reflects you actions back to you by what you experience from these thoughts and actions. When what you believe is not in sync with the reality you experience, you are confronted with this truth. Often times this is in painful ways. The purpose of the disharmony is to nudge you closer and closer to collective truth. When what you believe is in harmony with reality, you experience total peace and fulfillment.
They way this knowledge can be used is how it allows you to be more aware of who you really are leading you to become a very powerful creator of your reality.
QUESTION: What do you do when your practicing these techniques and are suddenly stuck a serious emotional blow? How do you bounce back?
RESPONSE: You realize that you have overcome it ALL and that you are overcoming it ALL and that you will overcome it ALL.
Emotional blows reveal attachments to the things in your outer world. The key is to enjoy and cherish those things while realizing that who you are at your very essence is always beyond the need for them. This allows for the most sacred and fulfilling experience of these things while you are experiencing them.
When something seemingly devastating occurs the question to ask yourself is “Who do I want to be in relationship to this event.” Am I going to curl up in a ball forever or am I going to get up, dust off and choose to live life fully. The choice is always yours and it will determine not only the quality of your experience of life but what you create within it. The power over "time" is always with you.
QUESTION: How can I accept that everything happens for a reason when I am at my breaking point while I am going through the process?

The Never-Ending Power of Choice
The opportunity in this moment never goes away. The infinity of time to choose how you create and experience your life. What will you choose today? Will it be the same thoughts and feelings, producing the same actions and reactions as yesterday? Or today will you choose to be a new version of yourself. One where you begin to create the conditions that give birth to something new in your life. This could be a new job, a new feeling of personal health, a new experience of your relationship with another (lover, family member or friend), or a new result with money in your life.
Whatever you desire to experience, the creation of it is only waiting for YOU. It’s got nothing to do with luck, karma or timing. It has EVERYTHING to do with your desire and intention to FINALLY BE-come a new person. When you are ready to shed the old skin you will, period. You will hang to the current version on as long as it is tolerable, and for many that level of tolerance can come with a lot of suffering and pain. Make no mistake about it, the pain and suffering is NECCESARY to drive you towards change. While it may be necessary it doesn't have to last. So the question is “ARE YOU DONE YET WITH THE PAIN AND READY FOR CHANGE?”
The main factor that holds many people in painful situations is the fear that by taking the steps to change they might put themselves in a MORE painful situation than they are currently in. This is a convenient fear created by the ego to keep you just as you are. If you can remember this one thought as you think about taking the steps to change, it may help you move forward in a faster way. The thought is “ I WILL SURVIVE”.
You will survive if you put your resume out and go on a job interview. You will even survive if you get turned down. However you may just thrive if you get the new job.
You will survive if you have the talk with your loved one that you have wanted to have for years. You will even survive if the relationship ends. However, you may thrive if the communication and connection between the two of you goes to a whole new positive level.
You will survive if you are finally honest with yourself about your behavior or actions to another. You will even survive if you change those actions to something more in line with love and forgiveness. You may even thrive because of these changes and the new person you have become.
There is absolutely no pressure to do anything different. Just know that when you are ready for a new way of life, the universe will be here to support you in the effort to become the one who creates it. It will be here just as it always has with all the other thoughts and notions you ever had about who you are and what you are worth experiencing.
The power is in the same place its always been and always will be; your hands. The possibilities with this understanding are limitless...
Peace & love
Howard
