#47 We are the Solution
There is an effect known as the Pareto Principle, otherwise known as the 80/20 rule or the law of the vital few. Essentially the Pareto Principle says that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Years ago, when I was doing research as a mortgage loan officer I discovered the 80/20 rule, which said that 20% of a company’s sales force makes 80% of the sales.
In other words, within a group of people the success of any venture is dependent upon the efforts of only 20% of those involved, while the remaining 80% do not play a vital role.
As individuals we have a choice: we can be part of the 20% playing a crucial role in raising mass consciousness or we can be part of the 80% group choosing not to make a significant contribution. According to the Pareto principle, it only takes 20% of humanity to shift our group consciousness (actually I feel that it’s even less). If you are reading this you are most likely one of the 20%, or may like to be.
We contribute to the shift by producing the appropriate adjustments within. When we change ourselves we assist to shift the consciousness of the whole; it starts with us as individuals.
Some ways we make a difference are by:
…embracing love rather than fear
…focusing on the positive attributes of others
…appreciating anyone and anything
…being present in the now rather than worrying about the future
…focusing on a positive outcome to a challenging situation
…being a shining example for others (acting as if someone is always watching), especially the children
…tuning into our inner guidance and following it
…dancing to the beat of our own drum, as we allow others to dance to the beat of theirs
…forgiving ourselves and others
…expressing, and feeling gratitude for our good fortune
…focusing on the positive
…surrendering to the will of Spirit, rather than ego
…letting go of attachments
…honoring and following our passions by following our heart
…continuing to persevere in a positive manner when faced with obstacles
If you are not already one of us, you are cordially invited to be part of the solution – the 20%, by utilizing life-enhancing practices that benefit you and the whole.
Be joyful, embrace life and thrive!
With love,
Randy

#46 Grimes Point Sacred Site Visit
On May 6, 2013 I took a group of people to Grimes Point and Pyramid Lake. This first video post features the ancient petroglyphs and caves of Grimes Point, which is located off highway 50, a few miles southeast of Fallon, Nevada.
After hearing a channeled message, through Linda Robinson, from a Lemurian woman on the petroglyph side everyone spent some time viewing the petroglyphs and meditating among the rocks, before venturing to the area where the caves are located. We also performed a brief ceremony there before exploring the caves.
An article titled Rocking Out in Nevada’s Archeological Past, written by Diane Glaxman states: “The oldest petroglyphs probably date from around 10,000 years ago.”
It was windy on the side with most of the petroglyphs and I did not have an external microphone with a sound suppressor, so the sound of the wind is rather loud at times.
You can view the 6:30 minute video here: http://www.audioacrobat.com/playv/WP0YNgMX
Be joyful, embrace life and thrive!
With love,
Randy
P.S. My videos will get better as I improve my skills. I’m a firm believer in not waiting until all is perfect and this video is far from perfect.

#45 The Challenge of Manifesting Our Dreams
I recently received a question regarding my Manifesting Your Dreams Part 1 blog post:
“I had one small problem. I’m manifesting a wonderful job. And I can clearly see myself working there. I also feel very happy about it. But the moment my friends, my family members asks me, ‘Hey, got any interviews yet?’, I had to come in ‘reality’ and tell them like, yes I’m searching for it etc. And then I feel empty and unemployed again. The positive and the negative feelings seem to cancel each other out and I stay where I am. What to do? Pls help.”
My reply:
You are dealing with the most challenging part of the manifestation process – ignoring appearances and focusing on the desired outcome. It’s not an easy thing to do, but an essential ingredient.
It helps to take action. I … [Continue reading: #45 The Challenge of Manifesting Our Dreams ... ]
#44 Opportunities for Change and Transformation
Greetings, beloveds. Time is of the essence, dear ones. You are in the midst of great change… a quantum leap in consciousness, both personally and as a species. Within this experience is the possibility of strife. Many of you are finding old patterns and challenges are coming to the fore to be dealt with once and for all – to be transformed so that you are able to comfortably move to a higher vibration. You will find this manifesting in the areas of relationships, finances or health (mental or physical). This may express itself as a dark night of the soul experience for some.
Depending on how you approach your personal challenges, they will be relatively easy or quite severe. The answers are always available, just an insightful thought away. However, if you become mired in the situation, you will not be aware … [Continue reading: #44 Opportunities for Change and Transformation ... ]
#43 Challenging Times
Recently I have seen numerous emails from individuals who are experiencing some very challenging situations. As I mused about that the following came forth…
During challenging times we may be pushed to our perceived limits. During challenging times an opportunity is presenting itself. During challenging times we may feel pain. During challenging times we have an opportunity for change. During challenging times we may feel weak During challenging times we have an opportunity to reinvent ourselves. During challenging times we may be overwhelmed. During challenging times we are at a doorway to a new beginning. During challenging times we may feel unimportant. During challenging times our true nature has an opening to come forth. During challenging times we may feel ineffectual. During challenging times we have an opportunity to move beyond our current state of being. During challenging times we may feel unsupported. … [Continue reading: #43 Challenging Times ... ]
#42 Emotions – A Choice
Some human emotions can be intoxicating and detrimental to our wellbeing. When we are overcome with anger, it may feel good, like being high on a drug, and it can be addictive. On the other hand, our emotions can also be supportive, liberating and life-enhancing. The affect depends on which ones we choose to immerse ourselves in. I use the word “choose” because, even though it may not feel like we have a choice when we are overcome with a negative emotion, we do; we have the ability to make a conscious decision to embrace a life-enhancing, positive emotion instead.
I first started working on effective methods to manage my emotions quite a few years back. I remember a time, about 16 years ago, when my teenage stepson blew up and started yelling while we were standing in the kitchen. I don’t even recollect … [Continue reading: #42 Emotions – A Choice ... ]
#41 Prosperity – A Melchizedek Lineage Message
Greetings, beloved. You came into this world as a master creator. You were born in the image and likeness of your Creator and as such you too are a creator – a master creator. It is a matter of remembering – remembering the art and science of conscious creation.
You are always creating. However, to create with intent you must be very clear about what it is you want to manifest. Then you must believe that you can create what you envision and are worthy of it. The next step is to let go, release attachment to the outcome. Allow the Universe to orchestrate the necessary synchronistic events in order to bring forth your creation into your physical world; when doubt arises because your dream is not manifesting quickly enough, recall the feeling of joy and the satisfaction of having your desire, … [Continue reading: #41 Prosperity – A Melchizedek Lineage Message ... ]
#40 You Must Not Quit
When things go wrong; as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don’t give up though the pace seems slow, You might succeed with another blow,
Often the goal is nearer than, It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up, When he might have captured the victor’s cup; And he learned too late when the night came down, How close … [Continue reading: #40 You Must Not Quit ... ]
#39 The Art of Being an Observer
Going through life as a detached observer enables us to distance ourselves from stress and potentially dramatic situations, thus providing an unbiased observation, opening the way to viable solutions when necessary.
The art of detached observation takes time and patience to develop. If you are like I was when I first started the practice of being an observer, most of the time you will find that you have gotten caught up in the drama of a situation before you realize what is happening, finding yourself reacting out of habit in the same manner you had previously to similar situations.
As I said, it takes time and patience to develop the skill of detachment. This is how I’ve seen the process unfold for me: First came my intention – I intended to change the way I reacted to stressful situations or … [Continue reading: #39 The Art of Being an Observer ... ]
#38 The Vibration of Love
A Melchizedek Lineage Message
Greetings beloveds. We greet you this day with love, blessings and joy. If it feels appropriate, we ask that you endeavor to maintain a vibration of love, with a focus on your heart. Love is the highest frequency and contains the power to transform discordant energies that you come in contact with, using very little effort on your part, and in some cases, no effort at all.
If you go about your day maintaining the vibration of love, you are attracting similar vibrations; therefore, you are insulating yourself from lower frequencies, which are present in varying degrees in your environment. As you send forth an energy signature of love, you will encounter similar vibrations. You will encounter friendly, loveable, like-minded people. You will find yourself in pleasant situations the majority of the time and have friendly heart-centered interactions with … [Continue reading: #38 The Vibration of Love – A Melchizedek Lineage Message ... ]
#37 Turn It Over to a Higher Power
There is a higher power available to assist us with our problems and aspirations, enabling issues to be resolved and desires manifested, in harmony with the greater good. Trust is a powerful ingredient in this process, assisting us to navigate the straits of life.
This practice has never failed me. When facing a challenge, you can say, “I turn this situation over to a higher power” or “I turn this situation over to universal intelligence.” Say whatever you want – whatever feels right for you. For example, you could say, “I turn this over to Spirit for my highest good and the highest good of all.” When I do this, in my mind’s eye I see myself placing the situation into two very large hands.
I have found that this method is much more effective when I feel trust. I have … [Continue reading: #37 Turn It Over to a Higher Power ... ]
#36 Persistence – An Essential Ingredient
Persistence is a crucial component for achieving success in our endeavors. We all have setbacks in life; they are a normal part of living. When we fall down, it’s imperative that we get up, make adjustments to our thinking, and take the next step. The next move may involve making a minor adjustment or taking a slightly different path. It may require moving in a completely new direction.
When we aspire to do, be, or have something, persistence is an essential ingredient. Even small steps, maintaining a degree of momentum toward our goal make a difference, for as we do so, new opportunities present themselves – opportunities that would not have appeared had we not persevered.
If we give up on our dreams, there is no way to know how close we are to the pot of gold. It may have been just … [Continue reading: #36 Persistence – An Essential Ingredient ... ]
#35 Embrace Your Power
A Melchizedek Lineage Message
Greetings, beloveds. We come to you with great joy this day, for this is a new day, a new opportunity for each and every one of you. Each day brings forth the possibility of challenges, and within each challenge is an opportunity to transform the energy of the situation into something of a higher vibration.
Dear ones, you have come forth into this time and space to transform energy, and as you transform energy, you transform mass consciousness. This is accomplished by your reaction to events in your life, how you choose to deal with your circumstances, whether they feel good or bad to you.
A good-feeling experience is something to relish, because as you immerse yourself in the good feeling of the experience, you increase your vibration even more, and radiate that energy to the whole. When you encounter … [Continue reading: #35 Embrace Your Power – A Melchizedek Lineage Message ... ]
#34 We Are Not Alone
As we look with our physical eyes it appears that we are alone in the physical world. On the other hand, when we “look” with our feelings, with our heart, we “see” that we are not alone. I heard the following in a movie that I don’t recall the title to: “Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.” It’s true, there are mighty forces that will come to our aid and all we have to do is take the first step. It is also important to ask for the assistance of the spiritual realm, giving our permission for them to intervene on our behalf.
In a few words: Follow your inner guidance and take action – BE BOLD.
If you are feeling stuck I suggest that you take some action on anything. As we move, it initiates a series of events … [Continue reading: #34 We Are Not Alone ... ]
#32 What Signal Are You Sending?
Everything vibrates – everything. Our thoughts vibrate, sending signals that are matched and sent back to us in the form of experiences…indicating what kind of signals we are sending. Our present life experiences are an indication of the nature of our thoughts – our current frequency. Of course, as sovereign beings we are capable of changing our thoughts and our vibrations at will.
The people we encounter and our experiences indicate what energies we are broadcasting. The people we encounter are indications. Are they nice, pleasant people? The nature of our experiences offer further signs. Would most of our experiences be considered positive experiences or negative events?
As we change our thoughts, we change our experiences. Our conversations indicate the character of our thoughts. What is the typical tone of a conversation with a friend, a family member, or a stranger? Are we … [Continue reading: #33 What Signal Are You Sending? ... ]
#31 You Can Have it All!
Life provides an opportunity to create what we desire on the physical plane. Many of us are living a life of happenstance, rather than creating the life of our dreams. Countless individuals have not taken the time to determine what they want out of life, drifting aimlessly from day to day.
We do not have to settle for a life of mediocrity. Manifesting a new reality requires focus and determination. We can have it all and thrive, when we dare to dream… and immerse ourselves in the feelings associated with the materialization of our desire.
As we dwell on the feelings associated with the manifestation of our dream, we magnetize the subject of our focus – drawing it to us. It is of paramount importance that we do this consistently… not just once in a while. Doing so provides an exceedingly effective form … [Continue reading: #32 You Can Have it All! ... ]
#31 Inner Guidance
The definition of intuition:
1: quick and ready insight 2 a : immediate apprehension or cognition b : knowledge or conviction gained by intuition c : the power or faculty of attaining direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference
We all have an inner guidance system. It goes by many names: inner guidance, intuition, a gut feeling. What we call it does not matter. What does matter is that we acknowledge this natural ability and use it. The more we tune into our inner guidance and use it, the more proficient we become at employing this inherent gift in our life for guidance. The more we trust our intuition, the stronger it becomes.
The questions is, How do we tune into it and how do we use it?
When we pay attention to our body and feelings, we are guided, moment by moment, … [Continue reading: #31 Inner Guidance ... ]
#30 Making a Difference
“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.” ~ The 14th Dalai Lama (1935), Head Monk of the Gelugpa Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism
I have written about this topic before, but because it has such a positive impact on us and the people in our environment, I’m delving into the subject again.
As we go through life, we tend to get caught up in our individual world, our problems – our life. When we expand our world to include others in a meaningful way, by making a positive difference in their life, we enhance our experience at the same time.
Think back on a time when someone made a difference in your life.
Here is one of mine: I was going to college, working … [Continue reading: #30 Making a Difference ... ]
#29 Are You Feeling The Pressure?
Many are experiencing a great degree of pressure during these challenging times. It is a time of adjustment for most, and possibly all, on the planet. Many are facing major trials, to one degree or another.
When we do a life review, we find that periods of major growth occurred when our limits were pushed. We are now in a phase where many of us are feeling this kind of strain, which presents an opportunity for considerable growth. If we stay present, and remain aware, during this period of unprecedented growth, we will experience a quantum leap in our spiritual development and quality of life. If we do not remain present, and monitor our thoughts, we can easily be drawn into a downward spiral of negativity, captivated by mass consciousness, dwelling in the “herd state”.
The remedy is to be an observer of … [Continue reading: #29 Are You Feeling The Pressure? ... ]
#28 My December 21, 2012 Plans
We are told that on December 21, 2012 Earth will be passing through the center of our Milky Way, as we complete a 25,920 year cycle and a 5,125 year cycle. Experts from various fields consider this to be a crucial event for us individually, and for the future of our planet. Some informed individuals are attending gatherings around the planet, in honor of this meaningful occasion.
For me, the question was, where do I want to be on that day? First I considered going to the Kryon event in Maui, HI for 12-21-12. I also pondered going to the Yucatan for an event featuring Gregg Braden, and even considered submitting a request to speak there. I tossed around other ideas as well, including providing a workshop on that day. None of these options felt right for me. I’m a big believer in … [Continue reading: #28 My December 21, 2012 Plans ... ]
#27 Challenges are Opportunities
Every challenge provides an opportunity for growth, and in some cases, a quantum leap. Many of us have a habit of looking at obstacles in life as bad things, and they can be when we look at them that way; on the other hand, when we look at life’s complications as opportunities for personal growth, our energy shifts, and so do the dynamics of the situation: our vibration increases, our energy rises, people enjoy our company more, and problems are solved in an easier and timelier manner. This practice makes a vast difference in our life and the lives of people we interact with. Who would you rather spend time with, a person who has a positive outlook on life, or someone who is always complaining about something? Of course, when we complain we create more of that which we are complaining about… we … [Continue reading: #27 Challenges are Opportunities ... ]
#26 The Frequency of Gratitude
A national holiday of Thanksgiving is observed in Canada on the second Monday in October, and in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. Several countries around the world celebrate a similar holiday – a day set aside to be thankful. The high vibrational energy of gratitude is something that will greatly benefit those who consciously embrace it, and embody it… every day.
Embracing and maintaining the feeling of gratitude produces a high-frequency vibration, creating a perpetual petition for positive experiences. As we embody a living prayer of gratitude, we draw forth good things – like a magnet attracting success.
It is imperative that one is thankful for the good fortune that has surfaced in life, for this will maintain the flow. By the same token, it is also important to be grateful for that which a person has a desire … [Continue reading: #26 The Frequency of Gratitude ... ]
#25 Tiwanaku, Bolivia – A Personal Experience with an Inner-Earth Being
In February of 2011, I embarked on a spiritual pilgrimage to Bolivia with a group of over 90 people. We flew from Miami, Florida, arriving in La Paz, Bolivia on February 3, 2011. I stayed for a couple of extra days, with several others, to work with a shaman at Valley of Souls.
On occasion, this was a challenging trip, more for some than others. We endured many hours on buses through some muddy, sometimes pothole-ridden, and water-laden roads (I am still amazed that those buses made it). At times, as I looked out the window, the road was completely covered with water, as if we were driving through a pond. It was the rainy season; fortunately, we experienced mostly sunny days on this trip. We also spent hours in four-wheel drive vehicles, on even more rugged landscapes, … [Continue reading: #25 Tiwanaku, Bolivia – A Personal Experience with an Inner-Earth Being ... ]
#24 Have You Decided Yet?
Greetings, beloveds. You are wondrous beings full of divine potential. When you came forth into this experience, you temporarily forgot who you truly are; you forgot how powerful you are.
Yes, beloveds, you are very powerful, for you have within you the ability to create worlds without end. We know how far-fetched that may sound, when some of you have trouble creating a consistent flow of income, but it is so. It is a matter of remembering your true essence, which can be accessed within. When you tune into who you truly are, within your heart center, you reconnect with your Higher Self and reinforce your connection with Spirit.
As you renew this link and begin to regain your inherent attributes, you will find that life takes on a new meaning; you will begin to flourish, and your radiance will grow like a … [Continue reading: #24 Have You Decided Yet? ... ]
#23 Live a Joyful Life Through Mindfulness
Mindfulness enables us to be present in the now. When we are present in the moment, our capacity to embrace joy is enhanced. As with many significant practices, it is a simple thing to do, but not necessarily easy at first.
Each day is filled with wonderful moments: a beautiful flower, an amazing sunset, the sound of nature, the moon, an enjoyable meal, a quiet moment, a smile. The simple things in life provide opportunities for considerable pleasure. However, if we are not present, most likely, they will go unnoticed. With mindfulness, we can enjoy the moment, and experience a joyful life. Life is filled with moments, so doesn’t it make sense that when we fill it with joyful moments, life is filled with joy?
This is what Dictionary.com has to say about “mindful”: “adjective attentive, aware, or careful (usually followed … [Continue reading: #23 Live a Joyful Life Through MIndfulness ... ]
#22 We All Have a Purpose. What is yours?
Are you marching to your music or someone else’s? If you are marching to the beat of someone else’s drum, I recommend that you find your own beat. Did you know that the word vocation stems from the Latin word vocatio, meaning “summons”? Look deep within, and consider whether what you are doing is in harmony with what you truly, intuitively enjoy. Are you doing something because a parent or someone else told you to do it, or because others in your family have done it? If so, and if it gives you a great degree of pleasure, that is good. On the other hand, if you do not enjoy your vocation, your life will be more fruitful and enjoyable if you discover what your purpose is and incorporate it into your life, even if it is as your … [Continue reading: #22 – We All Have a Purpose. What is yours? ... ]
#21 – Your Vibration Affects the Whole
Greetings, beloveds. Your life has meaning. You came here to make a difference, to expand who you are, thereby enhancing the whole.
You make a difference as you come upon situations in life that you call challenges, and transform the energy of the event. This can be any kind of challenge, large or small. Most of your difficulties will involve your health (or someone else’s), relationships and money (financial situations).
As you anticipated your arrival on the earth plane, you knew that you would have all of the necessary capabilities to deal with any and all obstacles in life. Now that you are here and living life, many of you have forgotten this. You have forgotten that the solution exists along with the problem.
Dear ones, you are capable of effectively dealing with any and all challenges you are faced with. … [Continue reading: #21 – Your Vibration Affects the Whole ... ]
#20 – Holding Peace and Love in Your Heart
As we carry love and peace in our heart, we experience love and peace in our world. The more we maintain a loving, peaceful presence, the more loving, peaceful people and situations we encounter. When we embody these feelings, we emit a frequency that resonates with other people of a similar vibration. We can tell how we are doing by the nature of the people in our life and situations we find ourselves in: Are the people in our life mostly loving, caring people? Do we encounter harmonious situations most of the time?
Holding peace in our heart sounds like an easy thing to do, but it can be challenging. Emotions like anger can be intoxicating. How often during the day do we find ourselves angry about a situation we are confronted with? How often do we experience frustration … [Continue reading: #20 – Holding Peace and Love in Your Heart ... ]
#19 – Point of Focus
Greetings, dear ones. Your planet is experiencing a time of great change. Each and every one of you are experiencing a major shift as well. This, dear ones, this is an extraordinary opportunity; a time of choice, a time of quantum growth potential. This is a unique time, a grand time on your planet, and a grand time for the cosmos. You have the ability to make unparalleled changes within yourself and on your planet. You are creating your world via your thoughts, your feelings and your actions. You are also creating your group environment and the experiences of your planet as a whole, via your group consciousness. Your point of focus is of paramount importance during this period. Your point of focus determines what you are creating, what you are manifesting in your life, and in your world. This is an opportunity … [Continue reading: #19 – Point of Focus ... ]
#18 – My Mount Shasta Experience
Situated in the Cascade mountain range of Northern California is Mount Shasta. With an elevation of more than 14,000 feet, it is the 2nd highest volcano in the High Cascades family of volcanoes (bested only by Mount Rainier) and the 4th highest volcano in the continental United States. This lone, snow-topped majesty is actually what is called a compound stratovolcano: a tight family of overlapping volcanic cones. Once proclaimed by President Theodore Roosevelt to be “one of the grandest sights” he’d ever witnessed, the beauty and mystery of this ancient wonder could hardly leave any of its multitude of visitors unmoved. I first went to Mount Shasta in 1997… and this sacred mountain has been one of my favorite places on the planet for the many years since.
I co-facilitated a small event at Mount Shasta with twenty-one of us in … [Continue reading: #18 – My Mount Shasta Experience ... ]
