I thought I’d share about the woman who saved my life when I was about 21 years old.  The following is a transcript of the orientation audio CD from the Visionary Mind package I’ve just completed.

…What was my vision for my life?  Who was I to be?  Was there something more for me?

I had dropped out of college after my first semester, and begun my own quest for truth, for answers, for direction.  I had found the power of ruthlessly questioning, looking, thinking for myself… and then one evening, I found myself on the top balcony of a dormitory overlooking downtown Austin and the University of Texas.  I’d stepped out onto the balcony, and begun a philosophical conversation with a student.

As we talked, he told me it sounded like I’d been reading the writings of a certain author.  I didn’t recognize the name, so he went and pulled a book off his book shelf.  I opened it to a random page and began reading.  Suddenly I found myself short of breath… almost in shock.

Here was a woman, some woman I’d never met, mounting a passionate, logical defense for my life.  For my happiness.  For my right to be free and happy and my responsibility to myself to do so.  It was as if she was standing up to the world, a world that wanted me to follow and obey their wishes, a world that would have put me on trial for being true to myself. In the face of all the world, she was defending me, my life, my spirit.

She was a visionary, who only by staying true to her own vision, was able to reach out to me that day, nearly a decade after she died… and awaken me to life.

I never met that woman.  She had passed away before I ever read those words.  But she saved my life that night.

Now, I’d like to say something to you, the one listening to this program.

I don’t know you.  And we may never meet.  In the years since that woman’s words changed my life forever I too have been standing, and for all the years that I have left I shall continue to stand… for you.  I stand here today in defense of your spirit, your life, your happiness.  As she stood in defense of mine.

Is there a vision you could see for yourself, for your life?  A vision that calls you to rise and face any challenge?  Is there a vision that is uniquely yours?  A vision, that by following it, you can know you are fulfilling your greatest purpose?

And what will happen if you don’t live your life true to your own vision?  What happens to the person who compromises his or her vision day by day?

You’re fire goes out slowly… and you live, knowing there was something more… Sadly, this is the case with so many adults in today’s world.  We’re compromising our selves and our own vision, to be accepted, to be “responsible,” to be “successful.”

Indeed, we’re conditioned to act as if we’ll really find deep happiness, fulfillment and peace by fitting in, following and obeying the rules and norms of authority and society.

We compromise, compromise and compromise some more… and with every compromise, there is less life within us… the heroic human spirit suffers and slowly dies.

Visionary Mind is a program for you.  A program that gives you a simple pathway to see your own vision—a vision that inspires you above the rules and norms of the world around you—a vision that you cannot help but follow.  A vision that gives you the ultimate sense of peace, power, purpose and fulfillment.

Here’s a short quote from the woman who defended my life.

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark…. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach.  Check your road and the nature of your battle.  The world you desired can be won.  It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.”        

Exactly, how does your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark? Exactly, how does the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved?

And exactly how can you reclaim it?  How can you win it back?  Or, how can you prevent your fire from diminishing in the first place?  How can you be so lit up with your own vision, that nothing can stop you?

This course is about you.  It’s about that fire inside.  The human spirit.

Who I am for you, and how I invite you to listen to me throughout this course, is the one who stands for you, for your life, for your happiness, for that hero in your soul.  Together, we will check your road and the nature of your battle. Journey with me and we shall see together, that the world you desired—can–indeed, be won.  You will see a vision and know that the world you desire does exist, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

Let’s begin.

The woman I quoted changed my life with words. She spoke to me.  She awakened me–to me.  The Visionary Mind package is the product of years of work and sacrifice to be able to do the same for you.  I don’t know you, but if you let me, I’d like to be for you who she was for me.

If me words have spoken to you, I urge you to purchase Visionary Mind, so I can ship it to your doorstep.  Take me with you in the car, as you jog, as you walk your dog.  Make sacred time to honor yourself perhaps as never before.  If you let me, I’ll show you a powerful way to do that.  A way to connect so deeply with your self, your values and your vision, that literally nothing can stop you.  Not because you’re now omniscient or omnipotent… only because nothing now can have you turn back.  Nothiing.
There’s a download version available as well.  Go here and scroll down the page to get your package.
