Foundational changes are what is required if the life program we are running does not support some movement we wish to make in life.

Maybe we are trying to create wealth, become a public speaker, heal a relationship or, a really big one, change a pattern where we keep attracting to ourselves hurtful relationships, people or things.

There is a lot of self-help out there today for everything you can think of. This is a good thing, mostly and I think gives people a little help here and there. Frankly, though, it has not been my experience that most of the self-help available now is all that helpful to the people who need it most. Maybe this is intentional, some trainers might really not feel like it is the best use of their time to "stoop" to those in such bad shape that they cannot even reach up and grasp a perfectly good rope being thrown to them.

On the other hand, what I have consistently found is that if you get right down to the absolute foundation, the origin of the river of life, so to speak, you get better results with everyone and there is no one who is beyond help if they want it.

I have had success working with self-esteem problems, depression, physical disease due to belief systems, relationship problems, and much more. I take the same basic approach and it does not require all that much extra thought. The concept is pretty simple. The foundation has to support healthy interaction with life. That is what I work on and that is what you get from Kal's School's Freedom from Bondage course, which I hope you own or are planning to buy because it is the premeir foundational reconstruction, or, as the title of this section implies, the real shift in your personal river of life.

I like analogy and metaphoric teaching and I am going to spend the rest of the time discussing the analogy we started with: the river of life.

Okay, I concede that the analogy is far from original, and original creativity is something that I prize a great deal. Still, the use you are about to experience is going to maybe make up for that lack of creativity.

Here is what most people do when they discover that their personal rive of life does not flow past something they have decided that they want: they go out and start buying tools to move the river over.

Now if the person should happen to be pretty close to the thing they want, a few shovels, maybe a backhoe or two and they will be right there. On the other hand, if the person is two valleys over and thirty miles away, the shovel and backhoe thing is probably not going to work out.

This is the difference between myself and most people selling "self-help" tools...I don't talk to you at all about your current river, but rather about changing your river way up stream when a week or two of work can make decades of difference downstream!

Maybe you are close enough in some things that you really ought to just buy the traditional tools, but I have a hunch that you, like everyone else, have areas of life that really need to be moved over a couple of valleys. If so, you still might want to invest in the Freedom from Bondage courses so we can give you just the foundation and just the origin of your river of life that you want and need to get just what you want out of life.

We live in an interesting time, a time that can be scary, but it is also a time when humanity is just beginning to consciously participate in their own evolution. Those who are leading out in this are known as "cultural creatives."

This shift is very exciting. It means that poverty, ignorance and hate crime can be rubbed out. It means that scarcity can dissappear from planet earth and abundance can be experienced by all. I throw in with Mark Victor Hansen: "the only lack in the universe is lack of consciousness." This is similar to what Buddha said when he was asked by one if his students, "What are you? Are you a god?" "No," came the reply, "not a god." "Well, are you an angel?" "No, not an angel," Buddha said. "Well what are you?" "I am awake."

There is no shortage of anything to the awake. There is no goal held away from the awake. There is nothing that is beyond the reach of the awake. The illusion is held out today of many things that vie for our attention that keep us dreaming.

This is where the foundational work that I do comes in. I help you to change what you are so that you would rather be awake than asleep. Frankly put, most people would rather be asleep. As long as this persists, the world will continue to whither, having no one to keep and support the abundance that is.

The dream we are in is like a dream gone bad, or a bad trip on acid. There are people hurting one another, pushing one another aside to secure for themselves the illusive wealth of the dream. There are people killing and torturing, controling and hating out of fear of lack. While just below the floating image of the almost universal dream sits a world so full of abundance that trillions could not exhaust its resources and none ever would need to feel left out or hindered, ignorant or slighted. A cruel irony is that some are probably reading this who really believe that I am the dreamer and they are awake! Wow!

I think it is time to wake up. I am going to help you wake up. First, though, we need to help you be the kind of person who wants to wake up, rather than continue dreaming.

That is what I do.

There will be a transition, every waking or partially waking person sees it. There will be a time of creating a special kind of abundance whose end is symbiosis for all.
