Destroying The Myth of
“Happily Ever After”
A Relationship Guide to Winning A Game with No Rules
Two Day Seminar
TBD
9:30AM ~ 4:30PM
|
Imagine playing a game with no rules. You are on a playing field where everyone has their own goal and strategy. It doesn’t matter where you run or what you do. Since there are no rules, there is no time clock, no way to figure out when the game is done… so you keep playing. You look to the refs for assistance but they are no better off than you are. They offer advice but there are no rules so how can you trust what you are told? The best you can hope for is a lifetime of chaos.
You would never agree to play a game under these circumstances and yet how many of us will spend most of our lives playing such a game. It is called the Relationship Game. Each ‘player’ has their own objective, their own rules, their own timetable. Just when we think we have it figured out, the players and rules change, the Game falls apart and we enter into the madness again. Most people will choose to continue to play this game they can’t win. Why?
Because most believe that this is the way to happiness. People play because they believe they need a ‘team’ of others to create their joy for them. We surround ourselves with spouses, partners, children, relatives, coworkers- anyone we believe can help us score the goal.
This seminar presents a unique paradigm – the only way to win is not to play. You must get off the field. Relationships will never take off until you recognize that happiness is not a team sport. Every person acts in their own best interests as they think they understand them. Attempting to control the game is the source of conflict and pain. Each of us lives according to the Causal Sequence of Life:
BE → FEEL → THINK → DO → HAVE.
As we attempt to play the relationship game we impose our mental beliefs, our rules, of how life works on those around us. True love and joy begin and end with freedom – the freedom to be who you are and your ability to give others the freedom to be as they are. Selflessness does not exist. Everyone must stop selling out to please others and live life fully with their own happiness in mind. To create a new game plan you must understand how life works. If you are ready to live life on your terms, this seminar is for you!
This seminar will show you how to:
- Love yourSelf and others just as you are, and as they are.
- Create yourSelf according to your highest vision of How, What and Who you wish to BE - which will increase your Love and Celebration of Self.
- Live in serenity all the time no matter the external events and circumstances.
- Understand the nature of happiness, pinpoint its source and so live "happily ever after".
- Transcend Good and Bad to live in non-resistance and spiritual Space to What Is, As It Is.
- Understand the real causes of all human behavior.
- Manifest the material things that you desire to have.
- Create loving and harmonious relationships.
- Communicate and negotiate better.
- Live a life of ever-increasing Wisdom, Power, Value, Love and Joy.
- End negative emotions within minutes, including anger, fear, grief, resentment and guilt.
- Eliminate the underlying cause of conflicts and problems in relationships.
Fee: $300. (Includes: You are the Creator of Your Life, Workbook and one hour CDT Session with Instructor after completion of the course.) Special internships available in lieu of $300. Contact Victoria DePaul at victoria@spiritual-training.com |

Conversations With God
Study Group
2nd and 4th Sunday of the Month
Sept 13th - Dec 27th
4PM ~ 6PM
Click here to Enroll

|
Based on Book 1 ~ Conversations With God ( by Neale Donald Walsch). You are invited to understand and develop an intensely personal relationship with God. The way to ‘know’ God, is through ‘experience’– indeed, through your own experience. You have temporarily forgotten that you are God. Your life experience is how you re-member God. Over the course of a few weeks will explore the transformative concepts through reading, personal inquiry, and application exercises. Through this experience you will begin to shift your paradigms of thought, words, and actions. In just a few weeks you will experience God’s presence and the unlimited opportunities of life on this planet. Just a few of the concepts in this message include:
- We Are All One
- God is communicating with us at all times
- Your purpose in life is to decide and to declare, “Who You Really Are”
- There is no such thing as “Right” or “Wrong”
- The three levels of creation: thought, word and deed
- What you resist, persists
- There is enough
- There are only two sponsoring thoughts: Fear and Love
- Life is not a process of discovery, it is a process of creation
Fee: Goodwill Offering |

Psycanics for Conversations With God
2nd and 4th Sunday of the Month
Sept 13th - Dec 27th
6PM ~ 8PM
Click here to Enroll

|
This study group is for those already familiar with the Conversations With God series of books. The information contained in the CWG books have the power to transform your life. Two of the dominant themes in CWG are : 1) There is only One Being and you are IT. You are God (pretending not to BE God) and 2) The supreme purpose of your existence is to return to the ONE, to the kingdom of heaven. CWG gives you many tools for working on Self, however it does not show you how to discreate the illusion of your human experience. Psycanics takes up where CWG leaves off. CWG provides the theory, Psycanics is the application technology. This study group is based on the works of Thomas Michael Powell, specifically Psycanics. Psycanics is the study of the nonphysical, spiritual areas of human experience. We will use his book, Psycanics for Conversations With God as the foundation for this study group. This group is not for the spiritual beginner. It is not a feel good, I-just-want-to-be-happy get together. It is for the spiritual warrior who has entered the ‘Dark night of the Soul’. You have read all the spiritual books, attended the seminars, listened to the CDs yet your soul tells you there is more. And indeed there is. You are ready to enter the realm of mysticism. (Mysticism is the personal and experiential search for God– through your own experience, not the experience and/or words of others.)
Fee: Cost of two books, ~ Psycanics for Conversations With God and You are the Creator of Your Life (optional, but highly recommended if you are new to Psycanics). These books can be purchased at the first meeting. They are also available at www.amazon.com. |

The Leadership of
"We Are One"
TBD
Free Online Course
Click Here
|
Based on the universal principles introduced in "Creating the Intrapreneur ~ The Search for Leadership Excellence", by Victoria C. DePaul
Businesses are under more and more pressure to meet more and more objectives with fewer and fewer resources. This trend has created a pressure cooker in the office with stress levels rising to alarming rates. In recent years, we are becoming familiar with what is called desk rage or office rage. The end result of this trend is an increase in negative energy in the workplace. The results for any business depend on whether people, the basic unit of power in any organization, are operating with positive or negative Life Energy. The primary cause of conflicts, problems and reduced production is negative Human Energy in the organization. Negative Energies are the cause of interpersonal frictions, sabotage, anger, resentment, hostility, anxiety, jealousy, fear, greed, dishonesty, ego, irresponsibility, laziness, victimhood — to name just a few.
People were not designed to operate in negative energy. As businesses continue to function in a negative Causal Sequence,(BE→ FEEL→ THINK→DO→ HAVE) negative energy will continue to flourish in the organization. The only way for businesses to reverse this trend is to understand how human energies operate in each person and how these energies create either a positive or negative Causal Sequence in each individual. It is the negative human energy that reduces the power of an organization much more so than problems with machinery, equipment or budget constraints. Current business models fail to produce positive results because they fail to understand the pervasive, underlying motivation of every human being– the need to fully experience greater levels of positive Life Force as the creative spirits that they truly are. The failure of businesses to understand this basic, innate motivation of every person keeps businesses in a cycle of inefficiency. Organizations that foster a climate where an employee can experience an increase in personal power will see an increase in personal initiative, responsibility, creativity and resourcefulness.
The principles that will be introduced apply to all areas of life, to all persons. We are all more than just our bodies; we are Life Energy entities. We have an innate desire to express more and more of the positive Life Energies of which we are made. The understanding and application of these principles is the key to success or failure in life and in business. This seminar will introduce the LEAD Training program.

Money and the Law of Attraction
TBD
9AM ~ 4PM
|
There is enough of everything on this planet for everyone. There is an abundance of air, food, love, joy and money. The "problem" is not the amount of money (or anything that you desire in abundance), it is the consciousness that determines the distribution. Are you ready to shift your consciousness? To do so you must identify your limiting beliefs and understand the universal laws of prosperity. You've heard the rags to riches stories. What principles did these people use to create prosperity and abundance that you now need to discover? The Law of Attraction is this: You attract to yourself, whatever you give your focus, attention, or energy to– whether wanted or unwanted. If you think about being poverty, poor heath, and lonelines and believe your thoughts about these situations then that is what will show up for you. This Law applies to your and everyone else. As are all laws, it is neutral in that it works when you want it to and when you don’t. The key is to understand what and how it works.
