Inspirational and lighthearted, Wishing: How to Fulfill Your Hearts Desires
As an intuitive counselor, Harper has witnessed the triumphs and pitfalls of different people’s wishes and relates the most favorable conditions for those successfully granted. Foremost is the skill of properly wording our wishes with positive statements and being sure we are ready for what we want. We must also consider the idea that we may already have what we wish for but may not realize.
Harper gives an eye-opening explanation of how we are responsible for creating our own reality by coining the word “response-able.” We attract both traumatic and pleasant events in our lives in order to have the opportunity to respond to them, thus learning more about our true natures. By becoming more conscious of what we attract to ourselves along with our responses, we harness more power in our lives.
There is a simple but fine balance which must be maintained in order for wishes to come true. We must confidently expect our wishes to be granted, but not have expectations as such. Rather than obsessively and consistently focusing on a wish, we must wish once then let it go and allow. We are to be specific in what we wish for, but not be specific in how it is to manifest. Harper clearly explains how to precisely attune our wishes for the desired outcome.
Along with brief and interesting anecdotal wish stories and wish sense tips there are many suggested practices including exercises and meditations for getting in touch with what we want, why we want it and how to open to receive. Having listened to Harper’s lovely voice on her Chakra Workout Meditations CD, I found myself “wishing” for an accompanying CD for guidance through the different meditations.
Harper suggests we start small with our wishes, for example, a cup of coffee or running shoes. Once confident in the methods, wishes can get more sophisticated including new relationships, jobs, good health and even personal transformation. Through clear and explicit means, wishes can be composed, visualized and realized as a form of manifesting one’s desired reality.

Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and How to Get There from Here

As spiritual teachings and prophecies predict and call for a shift in consciousness leading up to the year 2012, scientific discoveries allow for change in our collective society. Following up on Bruce Lipton’s book The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles
As a cellular biologist, Lipton has studied the biological evidence that thoughts are able to affect change within one’s body cells. Our collective beliefs are altered as additional scientific discoveries are revealed, thus it follows that our society will change as well, including social structures, politics and the economy. While we watch much of our culture break down around us, this is a necessary part of bringing in new concepts and change.
Lipton and Bhaerman walk through four stages of evolution throughout the known history of humanity and the belief systems associated with each. Each of these stages, including animism, polytheism, monotheism and scientific materialism, involve a philosophy of being separate from one another and other factors of nature. As we evolve into holism, the separateness dissolves and we realize that just as a body’s trillions of cells work together to function as a human, each member of society works together to create our collective culture.
Evolution as defined by Darwin is thought to occur over thousands of generations, but with the help of imaginal cells, change can occur much more rapidly. A caterpillar turns into a butterfly using the same DNA, but certain cells are changed as they receive a new signal. As the imaginal cells grow in population, they join together and resonate at a new frequency until there are enough that a butterfly is born. The same can be said of society’s creative minorities. The authors credit Paul Ray with evidence that these “cultural creatives” in the U.S. continue to grow steadily, at last count 70 million. These individuals live a lifestyle that incorporates concern with the environment, personal growth, spirituality and change in politics.
Lipton and Bhaerman spend considerable time breaking down what they term the “four myth perceptions of the apocalypse,” including only matter matters, survival of the fittest, it’s in your genes and random evolution. One of my favorite coined terms is “weapons of mass distraction.” Through education, mass media, public relations and advertising, we are conditioned to believe these myths as fact and thusly live our lives. Lipton is especially chagrined at the state of the corporate pharmaceutical industry which is driven by profits, not by actual healing. We are conditioned to believe that many of our issues are chemical imbalances that can be resolved by taking a pill. In Western medicine, our symptoms are treated individually rather than addressed as a whole.
The path to our next stage of evolution is to change our belief systems. As more of humanity is exposed to and catches on to the concept of holism – the idea that we are connected and part of a greater collective – we will effectively shift our culture. Each of us individually can participate in this evolution by changing our personal thoughts and becoming the imaginal cells that inspire the rest of our species to grow into our full potential.
