Seeing Inside – Sight Versus Vision
Posted on 15. Sep, 2010 by Ken Bechtel in The Goo Blog
Sight is the ability to see the physical world while vision is the gift of seeing beyond it. Sight enables us to take the physical world in so we can participate in it with knowledge. It brings us pleasure through our eyes, which perceive the colors and shapes of all the myriad expressions of nature and human beings. It helps us feel in control, allowing us to see what is coming toward us, which way we are going, and exactly where we are standing at a given moment. We are able to read signs and books, navigate the interiors of buildings with ease, sense and perceive how a person is feeling by the expressions that cross her face. (more…)
Out Of The Way Thinking

What inspires you?
You know those days where you feel like you are headed in the right direction, and everything you are doing feels like what you were meant to do?
Then again, why do we spend so many days feeling like we are in a fog, just going through the motions? Did you ever stop to think that the reason you are feeling dull, uninspired, or less than successful is because you are in your own way? (more…)

Recent email I received: Â “I have been thinking about this lately, how or when we lose it- the ability to follow our intuition?” – Amy
Good question. Â So good, in fact, that I am sharing the answer I gave with you all.
This question is a great example of not trusting your intuition.
See the intellect wants there to be “the answer” for this question, but intuition tells us there is only YOUR ANSWER. Everyone has there own answer to how, when or if they lose their ability to follow their intuition. (more…)
Opening to Abundance
Posted on 17. Jun, 2010 by Ken Bechtel in The Goo Blog
Having a new intention today was a bit challenging.
Keeping the intention of opening to supportive abundance in all areas of my life was new and a bit clumsy. The guidance I received was to trust.
Instead of trying to figure out where the abundance is, just trust that if it feels like (more…)
What if Life Were Simple?
Posted on 11. Jun, 2010 by Ken Bechtel in The Goo Blog
I was watching the movie Forrest Gump last night and it got me thinking, why do we make things so complex? Life is really simple if we let it be.
Again and again throughout his life, Forrest takes the simple and direct approach to whatever he encounters. He does not spend his energy explaining or justifying his actions. Nor does he dwell on the “what ifs†that many of us find ourselves paralyzed by every day. He just does it and it usually works out.

What Is Your Passion?
Posted on 03. Jun, 2010 by Ken Bechtel in The Goo Blog
One way to start to find out what is your passion is to ask yourself what is it that you love to talk about. Once you get started you can’t stop. It is effortless. Actually it is invigorating and energizing to talk about this topic or item.
For me it was a toss up between energy work/empowerment and sustainable building. If someone got me started talking about either one, I could talk for hours and never realize it. (more…)
You Can’t Give What You Don’t Have
Posted on 02. Jun, 2010 by Ken Bechtel in The Goo Blog
Being yourself and sharing your gifts can be like turning on a light in poorly lit room full of people. As the daylight fades and the light in the room diminishes, some people do not care that there is less light, some people are happy the light is fading and others are disappointed that it is getting darker and harder to see. When you walk in, radiating your brilliance it is like turning on the lights.
To those who did not care that the light was going away, this additional light does not matter. They are fine either way. To those who were excited about the diminishing light they are annoyed. They moan and complain. (more…)
Unconscious Agreements
Posted on 20. May, 2010 by Ken Bechtel in The Goo Blog
What is stopping you from being happier, wealthier, more loved, more loving, more compassionate, less grumpy, more honest, worry less, celebrate more or whatever else you may desire?
Every single thing you don’t have is simply because you are in agreement with not having it. The agreement may be subconscious, but it is still there. This is Goo. (more…)
The Greatest Is Love
Posted on 13. May, 2010 by Ken Bechtel in The Goo Blog
I recently received this in an email from one of my mentors – Mary Morrissey – and I wanted to share it with you all. Â Enjoy
The apostle Paul said that there are three things that last forever: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of them all is love. Then he said put love first.
Having hope and having faith are like keys that unlock the door to our awareness of love’s presence. The interesting thing about love is that love will never be more present for us than it is right now, but we can become more aware of it. When our heart is filled with faith and our mind is focused on hope, the awareness of love’s presence absolutely amplifies.
Love is not only with us but a companion to walk with in our day. I wish you a wonderful faith, hope and love filled day.

Listen for one minute a day
Posted on 12. May, 2010 by Ken Bechtel in The Goo Blog
What if you gave yourself one minute a day to listen. Not read or write or think or improve or exercise. Just listen.
When I stop for even a minute and listen I am reminded of what is important. Right now I stopped to listen and the sound of birds singing outside my window came forward and the sound of road construction a block away, that had been dominating my awareness all morning, fell into the background.
Also the chatter in my head goes away when I just listen and my intuitive guidance comes forward and is heard.
What if you had a mentor who knew everything. saw everything and had done everything? Would that be worth listening to? That is intuitive guidance. (more…)
