THE MILLION DOLLAR IDEA: HOW TO DEVELOP A MILLION DOLLAR IDEA TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND CHANGE THE WORLD Cynthia Kersey interviewing Reverend Michael Beckwith – Mentor #3 MS. KERSEY: Hi. My name is Cynthia Kersey and I would like to welcome you to the Million Dollar Idea online course: How to Develop a Million Dollar Idea to Change Your Life and Change the World. I'm excited to bring you twelve interviews of teachers, philanthropists and business leaders who are going to show you their strategies, not only for generating wealth and prosperity, but also how to generate ideas that can make our world a better place, and, of course, the intention behind this entire course is to raise a minimum of a million dollars and build at least 40 schools in Africa. Every expert, every mentor involved in this course is doing it not for financial compensation, but really as their way to give back and to support this initiative, so I'm very grateful for our next teacher for his generosity, his support, his leadership, and I'm also deeply grateful for you the listener because you are the one who cares enough to sign up for this and share it with everyone that you know because each person that signs up for this is making a direct contribution to building schools in Africa, and as we do that, we are a part of ending the cycle of poverty in this world through education, so thank you so much for your participation. Tonight's mentor is a man who I have deep respect and appreciation for and he is a master at helping others raise the bar of what is possible in their lives and to create ideas that include, prosperity, abundance, health, wellness, contribution and nothing less than spiritual transformation. Reverend Dr. Michael Beckwith is a world leader, teacher, 2 founder and spiritual director of the Agape International Spiritual Center. He is the co- founder of the Association for Global New Thought and the Season for Nonviolence and Reverend Michael is one of the featured teachers on The Secret. He is the innovator of the life visioning process, a powerful process that anybody can use to design a life that really inspires them, and his latest book, which I'm very excited about, is called Spiritual Liberation Fulfilling your Soul's Potential, and it was just released on 11/11. I just got my copy and started reading it. It is awesome! It is a must read for everyone who is seeking inner freedom and liberation, and I don't know anybody who is not looking for that, so I'm getting a copy for everybody I know. It is really my honor and with deep appreciation to welcome Reverend Michael. Welcome Michael. REVEREND MICHAEL BECKWITH: It is my joy, Cynthia, to be with you on this wonderful call as we speak about opening ourselves up to the brilliant ideas of the universe. It is wonderful to be with you as it always is. MS. KERSEY: Thank you. You know what I love and appreciate about your being on the call is you're going to bring a different perspective when we are talking about being big in the world and generating whatever it is, if it is wealth or abundance or creating a difference, it really does start by going within, and so I would like for you to share with the listeners - what do you recommend for people who want to create this abundance or prosperity or make a big difference on the planet? How do you recommend they go about that? REVEREND MICHAEL BECKWITH: Well, you are speaking of something that is very important. That is, I think everyone that is on the planet wants to make a difference on the planet. Everyone wants to live in the field of plenitude and abundance and prosperity and generosity, and everyone within them, whether they are conscious of it or not, wants to break previously set standards, break any precedents that may have been established where generosity, compassion and love are concerned, so whether a person knows it or 3 not, they are not just here to take up space, but they are here to go beyond their predecessors on the planet and to reveal not only a kind and global world, but they are here to reveal and unleash the total gifts of their being, so as they begin to know that and as people -- as people are listening right now they begin to be conscious that while they are really here is to live an unprecedented life. Now they can be available to receiving ideas that are proliferating the universe, which is a manifestation of the order and the harmony of the mind of God or the evolutionary impulses that governs the universe or whatever words you want to use there, that this is filled with ideas, and these ideas whole and complete waiting for the right condition to come into fulfillment, to come into expression, and that condition is us. That condition is our consciousness. How we think. What we believe. How we act. And so we are here to, one, we are here to live an unprecedented life; two, we are surrounded by ideas; three, we get to determine whether our soil is fertile or not. The soil is not determined whether it is fertile or not. It is not determined by external conditions or other people's thoughts. This is determined by us, so you use the word, we have to go within, and that is where it begins. We stop on a regular basis, and we place before us certain questions knowing that the law of the universe says, ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be open. So you begin to ask, what is trying to emerge in my life? You can ask what idea is seeking to emerge that is going to be beneficial to my life or beneficial in the world. You can phrase that anyway you want, but if you are sincere in your asking and then you become sincere in your developing the inner software, which is confidence, which is earnestness, sincerity. The inner software of stick-to-itiveness. If you are sincere, then these ideas will take root and been to express themselves in the most profound way. MS. KERSEY: I love the intention of creating an unprecedented life. So basically what you are saying is, the ideas are all around us, and basically what we need to look at is fertilizing our soil, so that we can bring them forward, and so talk to me about how do you recommend people fertilize that or really be able to be open to bringing these ideas into reality. 4 REVEREND MICHAEL BECKWITH: Right. Let me hit it from two ways. One, Ruffle Emerson coined a phrase -- I think it was Ruffle Emerson. The phrase is called or the word is, endogenous. As opposed to indigenous. Indigenous means that something can flourish in a particular environment or something comes from a particular place. Like there is a plant that might be indigenous to California that wouldn't necessarily come into great fulfillment in Alaska, so we would say that plant was indigenous to California and could survive there. Now, a spiritual being having a human carnation, that is us, we are endogenous. That means we create our own environment from within ourselves, so when you say, what is it that we need to do to have these ideas to move into us, we have to go in and begin to feel that sense of worthiness. We have to begin to feel that sense of completeness. We have to begin to feel that sense of, that inner desire that something wants to be expressed from completeness. Not incompleteness, but from completeness. We have to begin to go in and feel within ourselves that we are connected to life itself. Now, from the sense of completeness, sense of confidence and, again, coupled with asking the right question, the ideas – the whole brilliant ideas that are everywhere can now find a place within us to begin to express. This is really what the life visioning process is about. This is what true prayer is about. It is what true meditation is about. It's what real affirmation and declaration is about. It is going within and allowing the soil of our soul to be so fertile that nothing is impossible with us. That the deep inner feeling is that I'm worthy. I'm available. I am open. I'm ready. I'm receptive and I'm calling it forth. What would you have me do? This grand idea, how would you express it through me? And this could be in any area. Could be in the area of prosperity. Could be in the area of philanthropy. It could be in the area of education.
