Hope everyone had a nice weekend.
Mine was very eventful. I helped organize an event for a non-profit organization. It raised some money, but didn't turn out to be the kind of event that I wanted it to be.
Anyway, while I was doing that I found myself constantly putting energy into my primary purpose, which is Safe Harbor, the project that I've been sharing with all of you.
While I was driving around today, I was listening to Rev. Michael Beckwith of Agape Spiritual Center. He was in the movie called The Secret. He is one of the most inspirational, spiritual masters of our time... every time I listen to him, I get the chills... which I've been told, happens when a spiritual being breaks into your physical field of energy and touches you and tells you that what you're listening to is The Truth. You can download his old talks from their website agapelive.com.
Anyway, He was talking about how when you have a problem... not to get swayed by the difficulty of the task ahead, but to be in the space of manifestation... knowing that what you want to manifest is already happening... not to think about the problem, but focus on manifesting the solution. Because all problems have a solution. And if a problem doesn't have a solution, then it isn't a problem. All solutions are spiritual... Which is probably the reason why I'm not a basket case, running around worried... but believe me, I am running around meeting with anyone that will consider investing in a great cause. But he said something much more profound: The manifestation of the solution is physical, but it all starts with the movement of energy... and it all has to do with the spiritual realm.... that brings me to something that I know, that if anything in the spiritual realm is not right. Which is anything that aligns itself with the purpose of the project, then the physical manifestation will be hard to come by... so I started to look at my are of money and to see if there are any unfinished business, or unpaid bills, even if they are small, etc... So I have decided to clean up my house of money tonight and pay anything that I may have overlooked or money that I may owe (and am not aware of), etc... because when there is some stuck energy in any area of anyone's life, the universe won't supply anymore... that which you want to hang on to will obstruct the arrival of new energy... to some of my male friends, that means all those old girlfriends who you keep calling and meeting for a drink... these unfinished relationships don't let anyone new come into your life.
we'll see what happens tomorrow.... because something tells me that tomorrow will bring something interesting.
Love and Peace out.

Faith in the Universe
It has been an interesting last day and a half.
I've had some great news, yet, it is not happening as quickly as I'd like it to be... there is that fear, again.
One thing is very clear. After looking at all of my intention and my commitment to this project, I cannot live in the "how."
I have to have faith that the Universe will provide as long as I keep my focus and faith. It is not necessary for me to know how it will happen, just that it will... the problem is that, for a control freak like me...that is not enough... sometimes. Mostly because all my control comes from fear... fear that I may lose the opportunity or not get what I want... or the fear that I used to have in relationships... that I had to know that the other person was committed to me, regardless of whether I was ready to commit myself... because I wanted to have the upper hand... or because I was too afraid to commit and give the other person the opportunity to leave me. I know now that there are no "sure" things in life.... that the only "sure" thing is change.
The highest that I can go is to let go and let the universe be in charge.... like it already and always is... because control is an illusion. I can't control what happens or how things happen. As a matter of fact, every time I've tried to control the path things should take, the more they are at risk of going the way I don't want them to go.
So the one of the lessons that I'm learning through this process is that I have to put all my effort and do everything in my power to make this project happen and then get out of the way of the universe.
One of my favorite movies of all time is "The Matrix." I find this movie to be one of the most spiritual movies of all time (if you haven't realized that, you should watch it again)... because one of the things that I know is that this world is not real.... that everything is composed of electrons rotating around atoms... but in between there is empty space that we cannot detect, because our senses are not that sophisticated. If you find this hard to believe, I invite you to watch "what the bleep do we know." And also, maybe open up your 8th grade physics books (at least that was the grade that I remember this topic)... and if nothing is really what it seems, then we can really just create whatever we want....hard to grasp, but it worth the try.... I have seen the power of intention work first hand, the difficult part is to use it when it actually counts.
A funny thing is that the head of the non-profit which will manage the property in Texas, Elroy calls me Neo. In the beginning, I used to think that Elroy didn't quite understand that my name is Napoleon. So one day one of the other people involved in this project, asked me if this gentleman knew my name... I told him that I didn't think he did, 'cause he kept calling me Neo... but I said that it was close enough. So in one of the conversations that we had, I brought this matter to his attention. He told me that he know that my name is Napoleon, but he saw me as Neo from the Matrix... he went on to say that he believed in me, that he saw the fire and determination in me that was going to be necessary to create this facility... I was deeply moved by what he said.
One thing became clear, that sometimes others believe in us more than we believe in ourselves.... or maybe they inspire us to become bigger than who we think we are.

More on Commitment...
This whole blog thing has given me quite an insight into human behavior (mainly mine).
The thing about commitment is that you cannot be committed half way. Just like you cannot be half-pregnant. What I found yesterday is that, the only time that I find myself committed half way is the time that I find myself in fear. Fear of not getting what I want. Fear of not prevailing. Fear of success. And so many more forms of fear. When things don't look like they are going in the right direction, sometimes, I start looking at plan B.... but I have found that looking at plan B, starts making plan B the priority... because all my focus starts going in that direction. The funny thing is that when that started happening yesterday, I meditated more on plan A, the project itself. Literally, 10 minutes later my phone rang... someone wanted to talk to me about other sources of funding for my project... and a few hours later got a message from a good friend who has been shopping the project... she had good news, very good news (I'm not going to tell you what happened, until we have a signed contract.)
Last night, I got another call from my friend Joe in North Carolina. He called me about some issues regarding commitment and the ego. The ego is a funny thing. The ego is the part of me that really hates me. The thing with the ego is that it doesn't come out and say: "I hate you and want to sabotage your life," otherwise I wouldn't listen to it. It comes out and says: "I'm going to protect you from those who want to harm you... or I want to make sure that you get what you deserve" and with that disguise, I killed relationships, business opportunities, friendships, etc... This is the same ego that wants me to go to plan B... because of the fear of losing face, if I were not to succeed. But like I told my friend last night :"I'm all in"... for those of you not familiar with this poker term. It means that I'm going at this with ALL my passion, determination and devotion.... and if I fail, I fail... but will have NO regrets. I will not regret not having gone at it with ALL my heart. Because this project resonates with me so profoundly that I'm getting deeply moved as I write this.... That from the moment that this whole project was put together, there has been a force greater than myself, pushing it... every time I think that there is no alternative, something else keeps it alive. Out of no way, a way is being created.
And it all starts with commitment and deep conviction.

The Power of Commitment
Hi All,
First I want to say thank you for all the support that I've gotten from many of you regarding this blog. Now I want to say that the best way to get the blog is to become a follower of it on the upper right corner... that way, I won't have to send it to you everyday... you can just receive it in your mailbox, I guess.
Anyway, I'm going to report on both yesterday and today.
I've found out a few things that are becoming clear in the process of manifestation. First of all, you must be committed to whatever you want to manifest... any wavering in the commitment and the thing falls apart. Un-coincidentally, this is the case for all areas of life, i.e.: relationships, jobs, businesses, etc...
I don't know the reason why the universe works this way... all I know is that any degree of wavering commitment, compounded with the obstacles that present themselves in this process will demoralize or defeat you... and soon you'll be out looking for another relationship, job or a new business.
I was faced with a day that was very challenging. So I paused, in the middle of the day, and started to meditate and reset my intention of the day by visualizing people very interested and saying "yes" to it... as well as a visualization of the refurbished building... I set my intention to talk to at least 3 people/potential investors and ask them to take a look at the business plan. The catch was that I didn't know who I was going to call or talk to... but soon, after I did this visualization... I got a call from a friend, who led me to another person. Shortly thereafter, I got a return call from my friend Alex and told me that He would present the plan to the investors who funded his own project. Later yesterday, I got a chance to talk to someone else about it. What I keep getting is that is not necessary to know where the money/opportunity/relationship is going to come from. However, it is necessary to stay committed to the project itself... because the universe will align itself with your commitment.
The other thing that I found was that the power of intention is very real. As I was driving away from visiting a client, I decided to call one of the people that I had already presented the plan to... basically I wanted to see what his thoughts were... but before actually talking to him, I closed my eyes and visualized him saying "yes" and got the chills and felt my body get very excited and positive... like I'm getting right now... After I finished, He answered his phone -which is remarkable, 'cause he never answers it- and he told me that He has someone very interested in the project.... and that is the reason why in the midst of the uncertainty that I find myself in, I'm very confident that this is happening... It is not necessary for me to know how this is going to come together, it is only necessary to know that it is!
Another thing that I've found is that my courage to talk to people, who I would not have talked to, has increased. The reason is that the level of my courage is directly related to the degree of my commitment to myself.
Talk to you tomorrow.

HOW TO MANIFEST A MIRACLE
This blog will serve as my daily journal to manifesting a miracle.
A few months ago, a project was dropped on my lap by the universal spirit. It was a transitional housing project for homeless veterans. After much research, I was astounded by what I found... 16,000 homeless veterans in Texas... 233 beds available to house all of these people... although, I'm not from TX, I do own Real Estate in that State.
The mission for my life is to make a difference in other people's lives, to make a positive impact on the world and to advance the human awakening.
My mission in this case is to solve the veteran homelessness problem. I have solved the problem. Inject private money into the equation and many facilities will be constructed to house these individuals (as simple as it sounds, nobody has been able to come up with a winning formula.) My goal is to raise the money from private investors in order to provide 10,000 beds for homeless veterans in the next five years. In this project everyone will benefit, the investors will triple their investment, the veterans will get a place to live, the VA will solve their problem and the charity that manages the property will end up owning it.
Through this blog I will journal the process by which this miracle gets manifested. I don't pretend to know more than anybody else, each of us have this power. My intention through this blog is for you to understand how to access this power and to believe that you have this power within you. This is basically, me sharing all those seminars, experiences, books, experiential sessions, etc... with you. Once you start using it, everything gets manifested. I will share the process by which all that exists becomes real. How everything we say becomes real... the good, the bad and the ugly. The moment that we say it... it becomes a tiny particle of energy and the more we repeat it, the bigger it becomes. i.e.: if you have a problem and want to see it grow, pay a lot of attention to it... in reality this problem only exists in your reality... each of us create our own "reality..." and our own "reality" is what we say it is. We see it in the news all the time.... one news network will report one thing, while the other one will report it from another perspective.
First of all, I want to give you some particulars. Without this becoming a business plan (this is not the purpose for this blog), I own a 32 unit building that will house 70 veterans. I need $575,000 to pay off the property and to make the necessary renovations to the property. I have broken the investment down into 23 units of $25,000 each. I have created a business plan and will meet with anybody who has money or access to people with money to invest.
Now the process begins. I start every morning by setting an intention. My intention this morning is to have 1 person say: "yes! i will invest."
I meditate and visualize that one person say: "Yes!" and feel in my body the sensation of ecstasy, happiness and ecstatic joy. My 2nd intention is to do my daily affirmations to "rewire" my brain and to have it think from a place of abundance, rather than lack and limitation. (watch: "what the bleep do we know"...JZ knight, the producer and panelist of the movie taught me these manifestations. It has worked for me like a miracle) My affirmations are as follow: " I have always been super wealthy, for as long as I can remember... I have always been amazingly lucky for as long as I can remember." (you can insert in there whatever you want... and it will start becoming your reality.) My 3rd intention is to talk to 3 people about this project, using these affirmations and other processes that I will be sharing in this blog.
Now I will go out on to the world and manifest these things. I will report back tomorrow as to what happened today.
