Regardless of your preferred approach or methodology, they ALL have something of VITAL IMPORTANCE in common. Each consists of some form of transformational guidance or training that is focused on and adheres to an "Inside Out Approach to Life."

Each and every resource, whether within the site or outside of it, utilizes a similar strategy and provides a big picture view of how and WHY life unfolds as it does. Regardless of your preferred method, each resource incorporates and provides a more expansive "spiritual understanding", integrates the timeless message of the masters with the discoveries of 21st century science as well as a close and up close look at how nature operates.

Why do I do that?

When you "choose" to become aware of how each of these "seemingly separate" avenues of understanding are intricately interconnected, even though it may "seem" on the surface that they're not, you in essence, discover and become enabled and empowered to piece the "seemingly separate and complex" components of the life puzzle together in a way that empowers, expands and completes, rather than restricts, retracts and inevitably leaves you "feeling" less than whole, consistently searching for answers and solutions "out there" that only add to the frustration and the sense of incompleteness felt and experienced by MOST.

The simple and uncommonly up close observation of nature clearly reveals, in a tangible and measurable kind of way, that abundance is a birthright; (YOUR birthright) that the way of the cosmos and any "perceived lack of" abundance in ANY area of life is nothing more or less than a "choice" to remain oblivious, resistant to and working against, rather than flowing with HOW the world (and on a larger scale the Universe) continues to grow, thrive and expand, irrespective of WHAT we believe or how we as humans "choose" to do things.

The point is, I've spent many years writing, creating programs, providing personal coaching and creating long term meaningful partnerships with those who have something of "ENORMOUS Value" to contribute, to ensure that there's something here for you as well as everyone who's sincere and serious about creating meaningful and lasting change in one, some or ALL aspects of life.

It's my sincere hope and intention to DO everything in my power to assist you (and a multitude of others) in SEEING beyond the "seemingly limited", mundane and finite aspects of life so you might begin Being, Doing and Having more of what you "truly desire" in your life rather than what you DON'T want.

The BIG PICTURE view of WHAT I do and WHY I do it, is to reveal to those who are truly open, receptive, ready and willing to see and hear, HOW and WHY you can have it all.

In my mind, the single most important thing I can do to achieve that, is to do everything I'm able to assist you in finding and actively engaging in your Soul Purpose.

With that said, where are you?

1. Have you ever thought about or perhaps wondered what YOUR purpose for being here is?

2. Do you ever find yourself wondering if the life you're leading is all there is and questioning if the kind, quality and quantity of the life your living now is as "good as it gets?"

3. Do you find yourself working really hard, often hoping, wishing and even praying for a "better life", yet regardless of what you do or how much you do it, you can't seem to get to the place where you "truly desire" to be?

If there's only ONE THING that you gain from becoming a part of the Enlightened Journey Global Community is the fact that You CAN have it all...it's simply a matter of "choosing to."

Enlightened Journey will reveal the importance of "choosing consciously."

The FIRST thing that MUST be done and the single most effective way I'm aware of to DO that, is to reveal to you in simple, clear and concise language, just how awesome, amazing, unique and powerful YOU are.

If you find yourself consistently “coming up short”, or you "seem to be" caught up in a self-repeating, "seemingly inescapable" and less than desirable cycle whether physically, financially, relationally, mentally, emotionally or spiritually and you're "truly ready" to change that, you'll find Enlightened Journey to be a valuable and powerful resource for creating (or if you prefer co-creating) WHATEVER it might be that you "truly desire" to Be, Do and/or Have more of.

That of course, as I hope I've made crystal clear, is up to you. What I will be doing in each and every edition of Enlightened Journey is conveying this Higher Truth that I've personally come to KNOW in the best way I KNOW how and let you decide for yourself if you'll enable and allow it to become your KNOWING or not. You'll also be able to pick and choose what you'll do or not do with it. ALL of that will be left entirely up to you.

I personally KNOW how powerful and transformational the information that you'll be receiving is. KNOWING goes well beyond "believing."

I not only KNOW it, I believe it, live it, breathe it, share it with anyone who asks and I certainly experience the benefits, but that's my choice.

It most definitely doesn't have to become yours. You get to choose that for yourself.

I'll always respect, honor and encourage you to make your own choices regarding yourself, your experiences and allow you to decide for yourself what's "truly available" to and possible for you.

And I'll never waver from that.

The entire process and the journey we'll be taking together is one of exploration, discovery and growth for sure. It will reveal and convey what I refer to as a "Specialized form of knowledge" that I KNOW enables, allows and encourages disheartened and disillusioned followers to become prosperous and fulfilled leaders should they choose to.

Although our own individual tapestry is unique in many ways, the thread we ALL use to do that is a "common thread" that ties us all together.

I'll be revealing a number of other "common threads" that tie us all together which enable and empower ANYONE to dramatically enhance the kind and quality of their own life and the lives of others on a MUCH LARGER scale that extends well beyond you or I.

But PLEASE do your best to understand, it's a journey; a process and it's going to require a level of commitment on your part.

I'm also going to do my very best to enable and allow this journey that we'll be taking together to be as simple, meaningful and insightful as I possibly can by "meeting you where you are" in the best way I know how.

I'll assure you based on the vast number and diverse quality of beliefs and perceptions we hold as individuals, combined with the equally diverse quality of outcomes we receive due to those “beliefs”, that's no small task.

That's also why I'll be conveying what I do, in a very rational, logical and practical kind of way and at times, in ways that you might currently "believe and perceive" as being quite irrational, illogical and impractical due to what you "think you know" and what you believe to be “possible or not possible” right now.

That’s yet another of many things that makes the Enlightened Journey newsletter so unique. We cover A LOT of territory and explore MANY concepts, but in doing so it meets EVERYONE in the community where they are. It will Meet You Where You Are too wherever that might be should you make the choice to allow it to.

In addition, the newsletter is designed, written and conveyed in such a way that enables you to determine for yourself where your unique starting place is.

That's something that most newsletters, various self-help/personal development programs, techniques, seminars and books don't do. They overlook the importance and necessity of "Meeting you where you are."

Yes, many of them provide some great advice, but few actually meet you where you are. There are exceptions of course. But it's more often the exception than the rule.

Some DO meet you where you are by telling you what you WANT to hear. But far fewer convey what's truly necessary to KNOW which enables you to align, harmonize and ultimately experience the kind and quality of life that EVERYONE claims they WANT to experience, but which so few ever "allow" to become a very "real and tangible" part of their lives.

One of many reasons that happens and becomes "true" is because of what we ourselves choose. The quality of our individual choices either enables and "allows" that to unfold or "seems to conflict" with it and inevitably sabotages in our own minds just how Awesome, Unique, Amazing and Immensely Powerful we ALL are.

How does that happen?

We buy into and "try" this quick, cheap and easy "push button method" or this "one size fit's all" approach which NEVER provides what we "hope, wish and pray" it will causing us to forget, lose sight of or never actually discover the Higher Truth that we ALL without exception already possess the inherent ability to be, do and have whatever we choose in life.

"Whatsoever we desire" as one of the most influential masters and LEADERS puts it.

So, because that is not only "true" but VERY prevalent in this day and age, I'm going to make another recommendation.

There are MANY appealing and sexy messages being conveyed in this day and age claiming to have "The Push Button Solution" or "The Newly Discovered Magical Formula" for "Getting What You Want."

Don't misunderstand, I LOVE the appealing and sexy just like most anyone else. But I choose to limit what I perceive to be appealing and sexy to those "tangible things" that I can already see, hear, taste, touch and smell. I LOVE and enjoy them too. They ARE a vitally important part of living life to the fullest. You could say they assist and play an immense role in making life Whole…Truly whole physically, financially and relationally.

But what MOST don't cover or convey at any depth is the importance of becoming conscious, aware and willing to FIRST address the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of life and YOURSELF to enable and allow the physical, financial and relational desires that EVERYONE has to become real and tangible.

There's A LOT of "junk information" out there that presents a very "sexy and appealing" approach for drawing "What you WANT" out of the "unseen realm" whatever "label" you might choose to describe it.

Case in point...

There are many self-professed "Gurus, Masters and Teachers" today who are saying and conveying things that “sound VERY appealing and/or sexy” as it pertains to what's necessary for enhancing the quality of your life.

Because they are so prevalent they're not hard to spot.

Chances are good that you've heard it all before...

• Do this one quick, simple, easy and cheap technique to "get what you want"

• Visualize your "dream life" into being in only 10 minutes per day and you'll "get what you want"

• Read and learn about this "Newfound Secret" and your life will magically change and you'll "get what you want"

• Try this quick, easy and simple technique for 3, 5 or 10 days and "miracles that you want" will magically happen for you

There are MANY ludicrous and just flat out ridiculous claims being made today. And I'm certainly not bashful and don't mind saying that I have a BIG PROBLEM with many of them. But I have a choice (as you do) as to which I'll allow or not allow into my own life. We all do. Since we ALL do, that means YOU do too.

There’s no denying the fact that there are A LOT of people today who are buying into the quick, cheap, easy, push button, one size fits all, drive up to the fast food window and drive into the sunset with your new life "appealing and sexy" message, only to discover how ineffective, utterly USELESS, ludicrous and ridiculous so many of these claims "truly are."

But there are just as many people who refuse to explore unfamiliar concepts that exist and extend beyond their current “belief level” who never get any further or produce any greater results than those who "buy into" the "simple, quick, cheap and easy message that, on the surface seems to be SO “appealing and sexy."

It's not my place nor do I have any desire to make judgments or place labels on anyone. It's not for me to say that anyone is right or wrong in how they choose to do things. How anyone chooses to "weave their threads" individually does and will continue to determine the kind and quality of their own individual tapestry.

Because ultimately, even those who buy into the "appealing and sexy" message that they WANT TO HEAR soon find that what they "wanted to hear" never actually leads them to where they "truly desire" to go.

But make no mistake...Buying into such things or not is, like everything else, our choice and as a result our responsibility.

We, like EVERYONE else, DO weave our own Tapestries...regardless.

But I will say this, not as a judgment but rather as an observation that I KNOW can alert you, perhaps assist you and inevitably enable you to bypass a number of unnecessary blocks, hurdles, walls, discouragements and disappointments as you move forward, if you'll heed the advice.

It MAY assist you in bypassing what I refer to as "The Long Path" and assist you in finding and walking "The Short Path."

MOST personal development/self-help processes, techniques and ALL "Magically Change Your Life in 10, 20 or 30 days" and "What's In It For Me" exclusively programs available today are missing the mark BIG TIME!!

No one...NO ONE can determine how fast or slow transformation can or will take place for YOU.

Only YOU can.

It will be as FAST or SLOW as YOU allow it to be...period.

Truth be told, based on many years of personally reviewing countless "self-help/personal development" tools, systems, processes, techniques etc., I've concluded that MOST either have no clue about what's truly necessary for achieving Real Success, Real Wealth, Real Harmony, Real Fulfillment and Real Freedom in life or they only provide only a very small glimpse of a much larger picture.

The bottom line is, because that's more true than it is untrue, they more often than not convey what aligns, harmonizes and resonates with what most people (and perhaps even you) WANT to hear but never actually Get to the Heart Of The Matter. They never convey and teach what MUST be KNOWN, clearly understood and consistently applied to make the kind of impact that most WANT to make whether individually or collectively.

That's something else that makes my work and the Enlightened Journey newsletter quite unique. I'll NEVER write about or convey what YOU or anyone else WANTS to hear because I think you WANT to hear it. But I will be conveying what I KNOW based on many years of personal experience and believe NEEDS to heard, learned, understood AND applied to create long term, sustainable and desirable change.

And I'll assure you that in MOST CASES, it is NOT "Fast food or Push Button easy." The magic wand simply doesn't exist.

That certainly doesn't mean that "In the blink of an eye miracles" aren't "real and don't happen." I can assure you based on "personal experience" that they DO.

Yet for many reasons, all of which point back to YOU, for some it's quicker and easier than for others. For some it's the hardest thing they'll EVER do. But believe me when I tell you, regardless of how simple or difficult it proves to be for you, the effort is tiny in comparison to the long term benefit.

I know and have worked with A LOT of people over the years who have spent many years "trying this and trying that" quick, cheap, easy, wave the magic wand cookie cutter approach due to a number of "appealing and sexy" claims. Not surprisingly, they also find themselves consistently playing what I like to call the "hit and miss game."

And rest assured it's MISS far more than it is HIT.

That's also why so many who have heard about what's recently been "labeled" "The Secret" or the "Law of Attraction" come to the unfortunate and "less than true" conclusion that it "just isn't real" or it doesn't "work for them."

Rest assured whatever label YOU choose, whether The Law of Attraction or something else, it DOES work for EVERYONE every second of every minute of every day without exception.

It ALWAYS has, ALWAYS is and ALWAYS will.

It's simply a matter of aligning and harmonizing what you Think, feel, say and DO with it, consciously, intentionally and purposefully to begin Being, Doing and Having what you "truly desire" in and for your life.

So just a heads up. Appealing and sexy isn't my style. If that's what you WANT to hear, I'm not your guy and Enlightened Journey isn't your kind of newsletter.

Enlightened Journey is a newsletter for "grown-ups" plain and simple.

What I will be doing without wavering or compromising, is providing those who are serious about and committed to creating desirable change with what I've discovered, believe and KNOW that so many NEED to hear but so often reject simply because it conflicts with what they WANT to hear and believe that it might enable them to begin "Getting what they want."

Let me reveal a few little (but VERY IMPORTANT) "Secrets" regarding the power of belief.

The first little Secret is that belief is not only useless, but powerless when it doesn't align and harmonize with Higher Truth.

And the second little secret is...

You don't "get what you want." You GET what you're CHOOSING to get. And a number of people are "trying" to cut corners hoping, wishing and blindly praying that this "quick fix" or that "quick fix" will turn it all around for them.

And that's OK too. I accept that. I respect and honor WHATEVER choices you or anyone might or will make. I only mention it because I KNOW that doing just that has adversely impacted and at best slowed the progress of a LOT of people.

And I also share it because it's my intention to assist you in "choosing consciously and intentionally"; in such a way that does align and harmonize with Higher Truth so you might actually start "receiving" whatever it might be that you "truly desire" in and for your life individually. I also know that when you master that, you can begin making a much larger and more positive impact collectively.

There's something else that so many of the self-help and personal development gurus, teachers and products overlook as they present and convey their step by step "cookie cutter approaches for "Getting what you want."

The very simple fact that we are ALL unique and because of that uniqueness, we each have our own unique starting place.

We do because we each have our unique understandings, beliefs, skills, desires, values, innate needs, passions, expressions and preferred ways of providing service and contributing to the world. The more we become aware of how Awesome, Unique, Amazing and Powerful we "truly are", the more able, willing and bold we become in discerning, designing, creating and consciously utilizing our personal recipe for success.

Although the numbers of appealing and sexy messages are many, although many of them convey a "What's in it for me" and "What Am I Gonna Get" approach, very few if any convey the importance of making a conscious, intentional and meaningful choice to pay our unique and awesome gifts forward as we engage and play the game of life.

Regardless of how YOU engage personally, I can assure you, the more willing and effective we become at paying our gifts forward, the more we USE them to enrich the lives of others, the more we thrive in tangible as well as intangible ways.

That's what enables and "allows" physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual harmony to become "real, tangible and measurable."

That's what it takes to "allow" Real Wealth, Real Success, Real Harmony, Real Fulfillment and Real Freedom to become a "way of life."

I take what I do VERY VERY seriously. And I do because (and I think you’ll agree) your life and what you receive or don’t receive in life is serious business.

I “get that.” And because I do “get it” is precisely why I believe it’s important to not only make but KEEP the promise I have made. And I will, simply because I take my responsibility VERY SERIOUSLY and put my heart and soul into everything I do.

In fact I can say without any doubt, apprehension or hesitation that what I do today and the reason I do it is because it’s my “Soul Purpose.”

No, that’s not a misspelling. It’s the driving force behind why I do what I do and have chosen as being my sole purpose for sharing what I do at AbundanceandHappiness.com as well as for writing and distributing this newsletter. It’s also why I created and distribute The 7 Hidden Keys to Conscious Creation. Each and every thing I do is designed and intended to enable and empower you to be, do and have more of whatever it might be that you aspire to be, do and/or have in life so YOU might become better enabled and equipped to contribute more to your own life and the world in even greater ways, which is, as I've already stated, my “Soul Purpose.”

And because I choose to engage in that way, I consistently receive results that align and harmonize with that choice. Tangible and measurable results as well as intangible results that align and harmonize with what I’ve always “truly desired” in and for my own life but at one point didn’t know I could actually receive, feel and have.

In fact, as I've already shared, there was a time when my beliefs and perceptions were aligned and harmonized with the fact that I couldn’t.

Care to guess my outcome?

If you guessed, I couldn’t, you're right.

Because I believed I couldn't, I got to be right too. My beliefs, perceptions, thoughts, words and actions aligned, harmonized and created in my life precisely what I “believed and perceived” it would.

That’s also why my sole purpose at one point prior to discovering and actually engaging in my "Soul Purpose" was; nothing more or less than to survive and get by.

Maybe that’s where you are currently. Maybe not. But if so, that’s OK too. Since choosing to look for, find and engage in my “Soul Purpose”, I’ve discovered that’s where MOST people are.

Their sole purpose is focused and fixated on survive and get by mode which is the one and only thing that keeps them from stretching, expanding and actively engaging in their "Soul Purpose", experiencing physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual harmony and contributing at the level that so many have a desire to and which we ALL have the ability to, but which most aren't.

But most aren't only because MOST just don’t “KNOW” that they can, so many never do. They never make the choice simply because they don't realize or understand that it's a choice they CAN make if ever and whenever THEY CHOOSE to do so.

You could say that’s what they believe to be true about life. That we’re sent here to merely survive and get by until death and then it’s game over. I've heard it a million times from those who are focused and fixated on survive and get by mode.

"Life's a bitch and then you die."

They think, speak and act in such a way that DOES enable and allow life to become and remain "a bitch" until they die JUST AS THEY CHOOSE.

Others believe that if we're "good enough"; if we don't make too many serious mistakes and we DO the right things and follow all the Laws that have been laid out for us while we're here, that we get to escape this living and limited hell and go on to some “place” where the pain, struggling, strain, difficulties, hardships and merely “getting by” cease.

There are many beliefs held. An infinite number in fact. Far too many to cover here or in a whole volume of books for that matter.

But none of that really matters at this point. That's yet another unique thing about Enlightened Journey. It doesn't matter what you believe, what doctrines or dogmas you choose to follow or not follow currently, where you live, how old or young you are, your level of education, what geographical location you live in, the color of your skin, your gender, etc. etc. etc.

Enlightened Journey will meet you where you are.

That's my job and why I do what I do. And I must say, I LOVE my job. It’s a really cool, amazing and profoundly fulfilling “job.”

If you’re currently actively engaging in your “Soul Purpose”, you already know in an experiential kind of way just how "true" that is. You KNOW just how “cool”, amazing and fulfilling it is to be able to do that. But if you’re not; even if you have no idea or clue about what a "Soul Purpose" is or what your unique and individual “Soul Purpose” is right now, that’s OK too.

That’s yet another factor that makes Enlightened Journey unique. Because if you'll choose to stay with me in the coming weeks, doing so will assist you in tuning in, figuring out, finding and if you choose, engaging in whatever your unique and awesome "Soul Purpose" might be too.

Because we ALL have a "Soul Purpose" although most aren't "choosing" to engage in and use theirs in such a way that enables and allows "desirable results" to become commonplace, sustainable and remain long term at the physical, financial, relational, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

That's what enables and "allows" physical, financial, relational, mental, emotional and spiritual harmony to become "real, tangible and measurable."

Enough about all that. I’ll close with this…

Today could mark the beginning of a very exciting, enlightening, profoundly empowering and potentially transformational journey. It’s also equally possible that for you, today is going to be just another day as every day before and yield no different tangible and measurable results than you have experienced in the past.

The determining factor is dependent on what you choose to DO or NOT DO with what follows in future editions of Enlightened Journey.

If you’ve ever wondered about what the future holds for you, what the key to success "truly is", if you really and truly have what it takes to be successful, what specific steps are necessary or why you may not currently follow through and actually DO what you know you should be doing to “enable and allow” your deepest and most heartfelt desires to become real, tangible and measurable, take heart.

I believe you’re going to be pleasantly surprised and perhaps even utterly amazed by what you’ll learn (or be reminded of) in the coming weeks regarding life, yourself, others, what's truly possible and the kind and quality of tangible and measurable results that have always been available to and for you in life.

That's a lot to digest. So think about it...ponder it and if you decide that you're truly ready, serious and committed to creating significant, positive and meaningful change in your life, keep your eyes peeled for the next as well as future editions of Enlightened Journey.

And if you haven’t as of yet, I would strongly encourage you to read The Miracle of You and Your Cells prior to the next edition. It will provide you with a foundational understanding that will prove to be quite helpful, insightful and without question beneficial as we move forward.

Until next time, I wish you the best in all you aspire to be, do and/or have more of in your life and again, I'd like to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to you on behalf of myself, Enlightened Journey Enterprises and the entire Enlightened Journey Global Community.

Keep your eyes peeled for future editions of Enlightened Journey. I think you'll Love and KNOW you CAN benefit enormously from what you discover.

The possibility and the potential is certainly there, but ultimately, it's ALL up to you.

One more thing. f you feel compelled, leave your thoughts and comments in the comment box provided below would you? You're input is VERY important, HIGHLY valued and will assist me in understanding more about YOU, where you are and what you'd like to see more of in the future.

Doing so will also "serve others" in a way that you may not be able to "conceive or imagine right now as well as enable ME to do the VERY best I can to "meet you where you are" in the future.

Here’s to you being, doing and having more of “whatsoever you desire” in and for your life...or not.

To Your Health, Wealth, Success and Happiness Today and Always,

Chuck Danes
