A Simple Choice
It starts with a simple choice: the choice to live in the World of Competition, or in the World of Creation. Let me begin by making a distinction. The World of Competition is based on lack and limitation. It is a world that is filled with fear, anxiety and pettiness. This world presupposes that everything already exists, and if I want something - whatever that something happens to be - I have to go out and take it from the already existing supply. By contrast the World of Creation is based on abundance, expansion, and possibility. This is a world infused with joy, vibrancy and harmony. This world presupposes that nothing exists until it is created, and if I want something in this World, it is my privilege to make it, thereby expanding the growing supply of abundance that constitutes this universe. To demonstrate how this applies...

The DNA of Dreams
DNA is defined as: The fundamental and distinctive characteristics of someone or something. For our purposes, we will be looking at The DNA of Dreams as the *building blocks* or the fundamental *materials* that we actually use to construct our Dreams.
So what are the building blocks from which our Dreams are created?
In the previous recording - A Simple Choice - you may recall hearing that Creation is based on manipulating energy to create various *forms* that we wish to create. And if we are operating in the World of Creation rather than the World of Competition, instead of going to the store to buy an apple pie that’s already been made by someone else, we simply stay at home in our kitchen and we work with the ingredients that we already have available to us.
So how does this apply to the DNA of Dreams?
It’s simple. The DNA of Dreams - the fundamental and distinctive ‘ingredients’ of whatever you wish to create - are two things: Relationships and Communication. Any result you want to create is literally going to be the product of these ingredients. In other words, to create your result...

Creating Space
__ When I was first introduced to these concepts and ideas, I had been primarily living in the World of Competition. Before diving fully into the World of Creation, I created this audio track to serve as a segue in moving from one world to the other.
...If I'm a Creator, I'm going to stay home and - to manufacture what I want - I'm going to sit still in my kitchen and I'm going to look to see what's on my table. Now if I want to make an apple pie, and I look on my table and I've got things like bananas and a loaf of whole wheat bread and a couple avocados and a bag of pretzels... Well, none of those things are going to help me to make an apple pie. I need to get rid of all of that. I'm going to stay where I am and get rid of the ingredients that don't support me so I can create some space. So we see that one of the key activities in the World of Creation is 'Creating Space.'
One of the ways we create space for ourselves is by stopping paying so much attention to 'what's there' and starting to allow ourselves to clear things out...

The Three Tools of Creation
_ In order to thrive in the World of Creation, we’ve been equipped with three creative tools: a mind, a mouth and a body. Our mind creates thoughts; our mouth creates words; and our body creates activities.
Communication is three-fold; it’s thinking, speaking and acting. In fact, we can never not communicate. We’re always communicating.
The key to Deliberate, Powerful Creation is having all three of our communicators ‘speaking’ in alignment with one another. Imagine three people were talking to you at the same time – all saying a different thing. It would be a bit challenging to hear them. Now imagine the same three people saying the exact same words at the exact same pace in the exact same tonality. That would be alignment. And the combination of the three voices speaking as one would be so much more powerful than any one voice.
Sometimes while we’re engaging in activities...

The Two 'Tents' of Creation
_ A man tells his therapist, "Doc, lately I've been
having these odd dreams. In one scene I'm a tepee; and in the next, I'm a
wigwam."
The doctor tells him, "I know what your problem is... You're 2 tents!! (too tense).”
I'd like to now speak to you about another '2 tents.' They are what I like to call "The 2 Tents of Creation." They are... in-tent-ion and at-tent-ion
You create by first creating a Clear Intention. In other words: What do you want specifically? What result are you intending to create? Then, you focus all of your Attention on that intention.
Many of us have heard the expression “Where attention goes, energy flows.” And when you put your attention on your intention your energy flows toward your intention.
Think of something that many of us did as children. When I was a kid, one of the fun things I would do was I'd take a magnifying glass and hold it over a leaf. By doing so, I would be directing the energy of the sun toward that leaf...
