Description:

You are a member of the Dream Club Community. Please join us at our new location. We are shutting down the old community and starting a new one. See below for more details.
Dream Club has existed for ten years, since April of 2000. It started as a place where people who were discovering their passion and purpose in the world could meet with supportive friends. It continues to be that place. It started with casual meetings at a Star Bucks in Houston Texas, then it went online in the form of a Yahoo Group. Then two years ago we formed an online social network. It is currently at 89 members worldwide and growing. Now it's time to evolve.
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Dream Club we have decided to phase out the old Dream Club email list and the old online group and create them anew in a group in the new Dream Power online community "I Wanna Change the World."

The cool thing about this new community is that it's based on the Ning.com network which is growing faster than Facebook so we have the ability to get many more people involved. The Ning technology makes this community more pleasing to the eye and it's much more user friendly. You can also easily create your own interest and discussion groups within it. Of course you can create blogs, upload and embed videos and pics etc. So join and play around with it and see how you can make it better. We want to beta test it with Dream Club members before we officially launch it into the world.

So please join us at:

See you there!

Dr. leaves practice and takes Dr. leaves practice and takes family to surf the world

dreampower wants to share a video with you

Video Description
Doug Pray (dir.)
Like many American outsider-adventurers, Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz set out to realize a utopian dream. Abandoning a successful medical practice, he sought self-fulfillment by taking up the nomadic life of a surfer. But unlike other American searchers like Thoreau or Kerouac, Paskowitz took his wife and nine children along for the ride, all eleven of them living in a 24 foot camper. Together, they lived a life that would be unfathomable to most, but enviable to anyone who ever relinquished their dreams to a straight job. The Paskowitz Family proved that America may be running out of frontiers, but it hasn't run out of frontiersman.
Personal Message
Check out his movie! It will really challenge your perspective.

How to Find Your Authentic Pur How to Find Your Authentic Purpose

From: spiritdancer

Description:

How can you know you are going in the direction of your authentic purpose? This is a question that seriously concerns every one of us. Being able to answer it, and to move in the direction of your purpose, is the key to your happiness and sense of fulfillment. Fortunately, your life actually gives you specific signals to guide you toward your purpose, and to tell you whether you are on or off track. Allow me to explain.

At any given point in your life, you are in transition, seeking to move from what you have already become to a deeper or higher level of being. The external and internal achievements of yesterday do not satisfy you today, although they are important because they form the foundation for your next steps. You are always on the road.

You may have an idea of what road is the road for you, and you may be right. But you may also be wrong. Why? Because where you need to go is still an unknown to you. As the great American psychologist/philosopher William James pointed out, it is your unconscious higher self that knows where you need to go. Your conscious mind, being based in the past, tends to get in the way. It projects the future on the basis of the past, and the past is exactly what you have to release in order to grow!

How many times have you thought you were going after what you wanted, and when you got it, found out it was all wrong? How many times have crises befallen you that you later look back on and see as blessings in disguise? These types of experience tell us that a higher wisdom, and not our conscious minds, is directing our purpose. We need to learn to listen to our higher wisdom in order to follow our life purpose.

How do you learn to listen to your higher wisdom? Among other things, by learning to recognize the signals that something needs to change. Generally, these signals involve discomfort because a part of us resists change. The discomfort can be emotional or physical.

Emotional discomfort takes the form of negative emotions : fear, anger, envy, resentment, jealousy, etc. When you feel such feelings frequently, they signal that you need to let go of something in order to take the next step in your growth. We move forward by letting go of what doesn't work, so as to open the space for new types of experience that are as yet unformed. Our path into the future proceeds by an undoing of the past, it involves indirect rather than direct learning, opening up by letting go.

When you habitually experience negative emotions, what you need to let go of may be internal or external . Internal things that keep us from our purpose include such psychological habits as blaming, resenting others, criticizing or complaining. External things involve our environment. For example, if you feel angry or resentful in a work situation, you may need to let go of that job, even though it might terrify you to do so. Alternatively, you may need to speak up for yourself. The point is, you need to change the structures in which you participate because they are keeping you stuck in negative emotions.

When we chronically suffer from negative emotions, we are failing to listen to the message. We are afraid to let go and move on, whether that involves letting go of our own limiting mental and emotional patterns, or letting go of limiting structures in our environment. When we are afraid to let go, we suffer.

Just as our negative emotions signal the need for change, the body also gives us signals, in the form of illness or pain. These are not there to punish you, but to guide you toward a higher purpose, to teach you something that you might not learn otherwise, something that is frequently involved with learning to care for yourself (and therefore ultimately for the world) more deeply. Learning to genuinely care for yourself, for the divinity that you are within and the gifts that divinity brings to the world, is a hard lesson for all of us to learn.

Negative emotions and physical distress are nothing to be ashamed of. They are a part of all of our lives, they express our growing pains. The challenge is, to know what the problem is that you are being asked to address, and how to address it. Alas, what we think is the problem (our conscious mind at work!) rarely is the real problem! That is where I hope to be able to help you.

Some of you know that many years ago I became 'medically intuitive.' Medical intuition is a form of psychic ability, an ability to read, at a distance, currently core issues underlying a person's physical, emotional or spiritual health. In my own case, this skill developed as a result of serious work healing from chronic illness, years of meditative practice, a commitment I made to trust information that came to me intuitively even if it defied common sense, and a commitment to helping others help themselves. Medical intuition is not woo-woo (though some disreputable people may stain its reputation by claiming to practice it). In fact, it is a natural skill we all have. However, since most people don't understand the nature of the mind, and we live in a mentally repressive culture, most of us don't know how easily we can use our minds like radio transmitters, to project and receive information. Be that as it may, I am here to offer you help in taking the next step of your journey. My job is to help you help yourself, by helping you to see your own core issues more clearly. Once you do see them, you will be wondering how you failed to see them earlier!

All blessings, love and light to you on your journey into effortless living!

Give it up and trust God! Give it up and trust God!

From: spiritdancer
Description:

Yup giving it all up to God is the only way. Today I woke up feeling so down. It's crazy. I was lost in my head again! why do I keep doing that. it's usually triggered by a survival crisis. like having to pay the rent. that freaks out my wife and then i feel pressured to perform. then I start thinking about how I alone can make this work. then i start forming all kids of plans etc. this is not the way. so I just gave it all up and you know what a miraculous thing happened. first I felt immensely better. how am i going to do the movie? where am i going to get the money? I have no idea1 but i feel good and i realize now as I have realized many times before that this good feeling of peace is really really important. I should never leave it. I don't care what is happening. if the lights are bout to get cut off or if the rent is due. never leave this place.

The miraculous thing is now i feel guided to solutions. like for instance even though I did not plan to make calls logically with a set schedule today. I actually feel like making calls. why because i don't have to. i should never set schedules where I have to do something. that is a guaranteed way to get me to feel pressure and then do it from a fearful place. like "I have to make calls and I have to get donations etc. " this is the wrong way. let it all go and let the spirit guide your actions. how do you know. by how peaceful and joyful it feels. if you can't do it from this place then don't do it at all.

its like to get results I have to get in a place where I don't care about results. then I get the results. to not care means to not be afraid of the outcome. to not care if I fail. the only way to be in that place is to rest fully in god's grace. to really believe that god is there for you. if you depend or look to the world for solutions then you will be inherently fearful. so it is a paradox. to get good results from the world you must give up the world and depend fully on god then you can be guided to the right solutions.

What do you feel like doing?

Do that.

Make a donation to help make t Make a donation to help make the Star Kids Movie

From: spiritdancer
Description:

Hello, my name is William Spiritdancer and I am founder of Dream Power International, a non-profit who's mission is to help people with their gifts and life purpose. What we call their "true dream" in life. Our goal is to help people discover what they love to do (their gifts) and apply it to a problem in the world they care about (their purpose). We believe our gifts are to be shared as unconditionally as possible and so we follow "The Economics of Love" and give all of our products and services away as freely as possible. How do we do this? We have many cool projects the first of which is our Social Community Website MyDreamPower.com which I would love for you to join. We also give away our last film a documentary "Journey of the Dream Warrior" free of charge. You can view it on our website or we can send you a DVD if you like. Please check out our website for our other programs.

The reason I am writing is because I need you financial help to make our next movie, a children's film called Star Kids. The purpose of Star Kids is to teach inner city kids the positive values of Peace Truth, Love and Unity. We want to do this to counter all of the negative values they are learning from home, the street and other media such as rap music etc. We also want to show inner-city kids doing non-stereotypical things in film such as climbing mountains, taking initiative, being creative etc. In alignment with our mission, we also want to use the film to teach kids that every child has a gift and a purpose. (In this case their purpose is to save the world!) And lastly we want to stimulate a discussion about why so much negative media is aimed at inner-city kids perpetuating many of the problems we see in the inner city. Our goal is to film the movie this summer, edit it this fall and release it in early 2009. We plan to distribute it free of charge to children all over the world via the Internet, local screening and free DVDs at youth organizations such as the Boys and girls club. Our goal is that one million kids will see this film.

Please go to our website to find out more.

You can make a donation here: Star Kids Donation As a thank you, you will get free tickets, DVD's, premier party invites etc.

Thank you very much for all of your help.

Sacred Stillness Sacred Stillness

From: yvonne
Description:

Namaste

One of my favorite quotes is from a poem by T. S. Elliot, "the darkness becomes the light and the stillness the dancing." When one learns to embrace the sacred stillness the light within arises and all is given. Nourish and cultivate the seed of light within you by weeding out thoughts of fear and anxiety. In due time you will bloom, ripen and bear fruits of the spirit.

Om Shanti.........Yvonne

How to do a project the spirit How to do a project the spiritual way

From: spiritdancer
Description:

At some point you are ready. Ready to do your work. But the task can seem so daunting as to be totally undoable. We've reached this point on our path where we know what to do but how to do it? No matter what your project is I would like to intro duce you to a new way of bringing it into form. It is at this stage that we will be tempted to run back to the old fearful ways of the old world. But, don't forget it was because we realized that those fearful pushy ways didn't serve us that we started on this path in the first place. That is why it is vitally important that at this stage of living our purpose we don't run back to the old ways of the past. For many of us we will then be left in a quandary " how to get our work done." All we've been taught is fear based pushy coercive techniques to get anything done. But there is a better way. It's a process of allowing instead of forcing.

In our society right now most things are done in a fearful pushing manner. A manner that is out of sync with the universe. A manner, where you feel you have to make something happen. What we are going to discuss is a new way of getting things done by allowing them to happen. In this process you will use trust and faith, prayer and intention to set things in motion. Or rather, to get in tuned with what is already in motion. The goal here is to align yourself with that which is already happening. And to be a catalyst for it's unfoldment on Earth. This is totally different from the old way of trying to will something into existence. Whatever your project or work is, realize that ultimately it's God's project. Please remember that no matter what the form, be it a book, a business, a film or an invention. Don't start to think that it is your project alone. Because when you start to think that way you feel alone and then you feel that it is up to you to make it happen . Then you get stressed out and fearful and start to use pushy coercive business tactics to force it into existence. Pretty much 99.99% of the business done today in our world is accomplished in this manner. It is a highly inefficient way to get things done. Which is ironic, because to most of us this new method will appear at first to be the inefficient one. Why, because most of the time you will appear to be doing nothing of consequence. But that is only because we normally think being busy and running around is doing "work" when in reality most of that activity is just wasted energy. This is especially true when the business or project is going against the flow of the universe, which unfortunately happens to be most of the time. In the future, which is upon us, we will complete projects using this new method. The heart of this method is trust.

When you do a project in a spiritual way, you realize you are not alone and your main goal is to get in alignment with that which exists already. You want to get in tuned with what is already happening. When you do this you because an instrument and things come into your awareness and start to happen synchronistically. You don't follow mental "to do" lists; instead you will be intuitively guided moment to moment. Sometimes these inspirations will not make any logical sense at all. But it all starts with the question, "God what would you have me do today." Of course you will have needs, wishes and desires but you will give those over to God. Then you will seek to get in alignment with Gods solutions to what appears to be your problems. This is the proper way. All the solutions already exist. It is only man today who believes himself to be separate from God that thinks he must make things happen using his own will power. But the power of Love is so much more powerful. And, that's what we are really talking about. For this new way to work you will only seek to do things that are in alignment with the higher order. So that means things that are in alignment with the higher good. There will be no more destructive creations.

Anyway back to your project. The first thing you must do is, sit back, relax and enjoy the show. I.e. watch the process unfold. You will have thoughts such as:

"But God cannot handle such a big project. I'm going to have to jump in there and make it happen!"

But if you think about that for just a second you will realize how silly that thought is. I mean we're talking about God here. And if it's the same God that created us that that means he handles much bigger projects than yours every millisecond. In every moment whole universes are created and destroyed. So don't you think he can handle this? Ahh but now you say:

"Well yes but not my project. I'm not worthy of god's help."

But you are. And he is helping you. God's help is available to everyone. It's not that he doesn't want to help people or that people are not worthy, it's that we choose, consciously or sub consciously to reject him and his help. We are like children who want to pretend we don't have any parents. But God being the loving parent that he is will let the children believe in this delusion as much as they want to. Constantly protecting them from themselves, but in the process letting them learn the lessons of separation. Eventually they wake up and want to come back home.

Dump all your old ideas of how things get done in this world. It will not happen from your will power, your fear or your separate actions and ideas. Take all your concerns to God as you have been. Then trust that it is happening in the background. Be open to the signs when you are nudged to take action or when someone is brought to you. You are already very good at this so there really is no problem . For you it's just a matter of really believing that it can happen this way. But all that is required is your effort to believe and this you are doing. Soon your project will be done and you will be able to teach this new method to others. Yes the old world is being destroyed but a new world is being created and you are a part of it so do not fear. All you need do is set back, relax and enjoy the show.

You have many compasses to help guide you along the way, they are:

Does it feel right?
Are you at peace?
Is it effortless?
Does it flow?
Is it joyful?

When you're about to take an action use these compasses to guide you. This is how you will know if you are in the flow or not.

"But what about money?"

Trust, you already have everything you need right now in this moment to take the next step. All will be provided for in the right time and place for your project to come into being. Know that. Accept what is happening. Stay out of fear. If you could see all the blessing coming to you, you would be so overjoyed but instead you look at your drab world and let that tell you what to believe. Don't listen to it. Stay focused on the spiritual. Stay out of worldly dramas. Know that you do have the money. Just have fun with it, trusting that the means will be provided for you. You must trust in this process. Do not worry about how you're going to make it happen. You are not going to make anything happen. Instead you will discover what is already happening and go along with that.
