LMTV #53: Shine On (You Crazy Diamond)

What if you came to this planet to do a particular job?

And what if you had to go through all the hell, hardship, and suffering in your life as part of the plan. For—perhaps—only having gone through that level of human pain and anguish are you able to turn around and help others. What if?

Well, this week, Tommy & David dive right into their second year of Life Mastery TV with a powerful episode that will challenge you on this very issue—and we all love a challenge, right?

Just imagine…

Suppose you’ve already completed the prescribed “hard part”, and all you have to do now is teach others what you’ve learned? Maybe you’re done with the trials and difficulties; maybe it’s time to get on with doing what you came here to do?

Exciting, huh? Consider a powerful and exciting potential future for yourself:

  • A future that fills your heart to overflowing because you know who you really are and you have a clear sense of what you are here to do;
  • A future that flows like the inspiration that touches you when you witness others step into their power;
  • A future that wraps you in love, hope, and joy.

Well, friends, it’s right there in front of you. All you have to do is reach out and take it. And only you can do what you came here to do; no-one else can do it for you. Remember, David & Tommy are here to help, and you can get some of that help for free right here, right now! What do you have to lose? You know you want to. You know you’re ready now. So get on with it!

Shine on, you crazy diamond!

LMTV #52: Anniversary Celebration

No matter what journey you are on, it’s a good idea occasionally to pause long enough to acknowledge and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Way back on April 18, 2014, Tommy & David had this crazy idea to do a bunch of webinars designed to help people live better lives. They decided to call their program "Life Mastery TV". Since then, David & Tommy have completed…(drum roll please)…

51 Episodes!

Well, today’s episode marks the completion of a whole year of amazing webinars, so David & Tommy decided that a celebration was called for! For their celebration Tommy & David invited a whole bunch of their favorite people to join them in a special 1-hour episode that turned out to be a boisterous and entertaining look back over the past year.

If you take a look back 52 weeks, what accomplishments and achievements and self-wonders can YOU acknowledge? What did YOU release; what did YOU surrender to in order to get where you are today? What lessons have YOU learned that you can apply in the next 52 weeks?

Tommy & David invited the following amazing messengers to consider these questions and more during this week’s celebration webinar:

If you have watched any of the webinars during the past year, then you may have met one or more of these people, and you already know the kinds of brilliance and wisdom that they bring to the world. Well, just imagine having them all present during one powerful, entertaining and illuminating broadcast!

LMTV #51: From Thinking To Knowing

When You Stop Thinking, then You Can KNOW Who You Really Are!

In last week’s webinar (Who Do You Think You Are?), David & Tommy talked about how we actually tend to put ourselves in boxes with our limiting beliefs. And our limiting beliefs are the product of our unregulated, unmonitored, repetitive—and usually negative—thoughts about ourselves.

In some ways, René Descartes was correct when he said

I think, therefore I am.

But not, perhaps, in the way he intended.

Our thoughts are very powerful indeed, and if we choose to, we can use them to help us create ever greater versions of ourselves, one iteration at a time.

But there is something much more powerful than your thoughts, and that is the source truth of who you really are. This truth, this wisdom, this knowing is available to you all the time, but you are not likely to find it in the musings of your mind. You must actually silence the mind in order to access this wisdom, for only then will the quiet but powerful sage within have sufficient space in which to share its wisdom with you.

You have heard David & Tommy share this kind of message before, and they are going to deepen that message for you this week. Don’t waste any more time! If you want to experience true freedom—that is, freedom from the limitations of your mind—then make a commitment to yourself to attend this week’s webinar!

Freedom is only a heartbeat away!Enjoy the video, and please leave a comment below!

LMTV #50: Who Do You Think You Are?

Have you ever contemplated who you THINK you are…compared to who you REALLY are?

It is a wonderful question, really, because it can stop you in your tracks.

Who do you think you are?

Most of us put a great deal of faith in a self-image that is based upon our thoughts, but—as you’ve no doubt heard Tommy & David say in previous episodes (maybe to your own consternation!)—we are not our thoughts! Philosopher Rene Descartes is credited with saying

I think, therefore I am.

But David & Tommy believe Descartes got it backwards. It seems more accurate to declare

I am, therefore I think.

While you are not your thoughts, you most definitely are the creator of your thoughts, and this means you have to take responsibility. Furthermore, we know that thoughts are imbued with a great deal of creative power, so you can use your thoughts to manifest pretty much anything you want in your world—including a bigger, more enlightened, improved version of yourself. Pretty awesome, right?

Here’s the challenge: while we are busy thinking, we tend to disconnect from the powerful but quiet voice of our inner authority. And if we let ourselves get too caught up in our thinking, then we can even forget about the very existence of that voice. David & Tommy want to help correct that, and this week they’ve planned a kind of jailbreak. What kind of jailbreak, you ask? Well, that’s one of the things that’s fun about Life Mastery TV—most episodes contain all kinds of surprises…so, you’ll just have to join the presentation to find out!

LMTV #49: The Inmates Are Running the Asylum!

When things get out of control, it can seem like the crew has mutinied or the gremlins have stormed the control tower!

  • Have you noticed that we all seem to believe that life is supposed to be a challenge and that we are supposed to struggle and suffer?
  • Have you noticed how much stress and worry and misery we all seem to be living with?
  • Have you ever wondered why this is so?
  • Have you ever wondered what you can do about it?

Getting all caught up in the drama of your ego-mind can create all kinds of havoc, chaos, and confusion in your life. And this can lead to more undesirable consequences than you might care to admit! And the stress that accompanies the chaos can have lots of negative—and sometimes even devastating—effects on your well-being…as well as the well-being of your loved ones.

You know what it feels like—pick your favorite metaphor:

  • A VW pulled up under the Big Top and unloaded 192 uncooperative clowns into my brain!
  • The crew of my ship have all mutinied and locked me up in the brig!
  • The gremlins have managed to shut down all services and have taken over the control room!
  • The inmates have revolted, demolished the security system, and are now running the asylum!

So how does this happen? Why do we all have our own version of one of these chaotic metaphors? Mainly, it’s because we haven’t been taught how to tame the rogue elephant brain. We didn’t learn this—in school or anywhere else—because our parents didn’t learn if from their parents…whose parents didn’t know either! But, guess what? It’s not all that difficult to regain control of all the crazy thoughts in your head and the confused emotions in your heart.

It’s just a question of learning a new skill.

Are you ready to try?

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired; if you are ready to take control of your life, once and for all; well, then this episode of Life Mastery TV might just be the one that will help you change everything. For good and forever!

LMTV #48: The Power of Awareness

Are you aware that you are the Awareness that is aware of everything?

This is not a trite question! On the contrary, it is a very deep question, and you might find it a little confusing at first. But just read that one more time:

Are you aware that you are the Awareness that is aware of everything?

The very fact that someone can conceive of such a question—and that YOU can contemplate it—speaks volumes about the nature of Human Beings. We are very special creatures…far, far greater and expansive than we can ever imagine. And Awareness—what some might call Supreme Consciousness—is present within and available to every single one of us.

As children, we tend to be pretty literal in our interpretations of things, and so we come to believe that everything has a specific meaning. And by the time we have learned to think and reason more abstractly, many of our beliefs have become so fixed in our minds that we have a hard time staying open to new points of view. We find ourselves agreeing with the meanings that we have accepted—or, more accurately, created—and our awareness becomes myopically focused on the objects of our attention. The narrower and more specific our meanings become, the more the world appears to be small and empty of possibility and opportunity. And thus we begin to experience more fear.

How do you become aware of this? What brings your attention to this issue in the first place? Ultimately, the answer lies in recognizing your own dissatisfaction with your life. When you begin to realize that your life is not shaping up as you dreamed it would, then it is quite natural to begin asking questions. And questions really are the first step in awareness, because each question you ask leads to an answer that, in turn, leads to another question.

The truth is: you ARE the Awareness that is aware of Everything! If you don’t believe that, it is only because of the meanings you have chosen to accept and agree with up to now. The moment you take a single metaphorical step back and begin truly to observe your life, you will recognize and welcome the surprising truth about who you REALLY are!

This week David & Tommy are joined by special guest Laina Orlando, a widely recognized expert in the field of what she calls The Power of Awareness. Laina is going to share her expertise with you and help you to understand this subject more deeply.

Do you want to:

  • Free yourself to experience life from your natural child-like sense of wonder and curiosity?
  • Expand your capacity to forgive?
  • Increase your compassion for all of humanity?
  • Give yourself permission to be big, bold and limitless?

If you said “Yes” to any of these questions, then check out the video and leave a comment below!

Remember, awareness is a critical, key, essential part of our inner expansion and growth; a mandatory requirement for our transformation; a must-have of human evolution.

Awareness precedes Shift. Don’t miss it!

LMTV #47: Illuminating the Shadow

What Parts of Yourself do You Hide…And at What Cost?

Consider the following scenarios and see if you can relate to any of them:

  • Have you ever done something in your life, and then later felt foolish, ashamed or mortified about having done it?
  • Have you ever declared in defense of something you’ve done, “Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time?”
  • Have you ever had the experience of doing something that you later declared was “accidental”, “unintentional”, “out of character”, “a total surprise”, or “not like you at all”? And when you looked back on the consequences of whatever it was you did, did you also perhaps cringe at the outcome you had created?

When stuff like this happens in our lives, it’s almost like there’s an invisible force—a dark force—that seems to take over. It’s as if we are no longer in control of our own thoughts, words, and actions—almost like we’re possessed in some way—and it can be a very disconcerting and disorienting experience. What’s worse, when this happens, it may seem like we’re stuck in the interaction, as if we have to ride it out and wait for it to play itself out.

Well, friends, say hello to your “Shadow”!

We all have shadows—parts of ourselves that we try to keep from public view because we believe that they are inappropriate, unacceptable, wrong, or just plain bad. Usually this is because at some point in our very early lives we heard admonishing or shaming words from other people—people that we looked up to, like parents, teachers, religious leaders, politicians, and so on. And because we all seem to have an innate desire to please those important people in our lives, we transform those admonishing words into internal messages that we have to change or repair those parts of ourselves we think are “broken”. But we soon discover that it’s very difficult to change, so we try instead to hide them—to push them into the background where we believe they can no longer be seen. The underlying shame that drives our effort to hide these aspects of ourselves is so deeply ingrained and so powerful that we generally aren’t even aware that we’re going to so much effort to keep them from being seen. Metaphorically, it’s kind of like going through life with a paper bag over your head!

Ironically, while it may seem like you’re doing the world a favor by keeping those “inappropriate” parts of yourself hidden in the background, in truth the only person who really believes they are hidden is you! Believe it or not, these “shadow parts” are often quite visible to other people—especially people who know you well!

In this episode, Tommy & David talk about the idea of “Shadow” in some detail. You’ll learn:

  • what shadow is and where it comes from;
  • how your shadow can run—and sometimes ruin—your life;
  • some ways that you can recognize and identify your own shadow;
  • some things you can do to re-purpose the power of your shadow so it serves you rather than tripping you up.

LMTV #46: No Strings Attached

Freedom from Attachment…What does that REALLY Mean?

Have you noticed that we humans seem to like to achieve things? Sure you have! In fact, being human, you probably like to achieve things yourself, right? Well, achieving things is certainly a wonderful thing for us to do, but have you ever noticed that the desire to achieve things can sometimes get in the way of actually doing the achieving?

Well, that’s exactly what this week’s webinar is all about. Tommy & David are going to examine and discuss the issue of attachment—specifically, attachment to a particular outcome—from the perspective of how it can hold you back.

You may not have noticed this before, but when you obsess about the outcome you are trying to achieve, then a number of things tend to happen:

  • you stop enjoying the process;
  • you begin to experience resentment—and probably anger as well;
  • the outcome you are trying to achieve is probably not up to the standard you know you can reach;
  • your life seems outside your control.

This can lead to an unpleasant cycle in which you become convinced that,

No matter what I do it’ll never be good enough, so why bother starting another project?

This week, David & Tommy are going to help you to:

  • recognize this cycle as soon as it starts;
  • unwind the story that feeds the cycle;
  • stop the cycle in its tracks;
  • reconnect to the joy of achieving—without the stickiness of needing to achieve a particular outcome.

LMTV #45: Affirmation Power!

Supercharge Your Life with Amazing Affirmations

One of the best ways to cultivate self-love is through a regular practice of conscious affirmation—that is, recognizing and acknowledging your power and magnificence, and creating positive assertions that help to deepen and expand the qualities and attributes you want in your life.

Affirmations are positive statements about yourself that you repeat—aloud or silently—in a deliberate and intentional way. It is well known that the things we repeat to ourselves tend to become firmly rooted in our minds as beliefs. The problem is, most of the things we tend to repeat to ourselves—unconsciously, for the most part—are generally pretty negative and disempowering. So, we can use positive affirmations as a way to reverse this thinking and believing process.

Of course, there is more to it than that—as you’ll find out in this week’s webinar!—but if used correctly, affirmations can really help to propel you in the direction of your purpose or of your deepest heart’s desire. This week, Tommy & David will discuss things like:

  • how affirmations work
  • the two key ingredients that supercharge all affirmations
  • finding the positive when only the negative shows up
  • techniques to increase the power of your affirmations
  • key reasons that affirmations fail and what you can do about them.

LMTV #44: Ceasefire of the Sexes

No doubt, you’ve heard the phrase “Battle of the Sexes”. We think it’s high time to for a ceasefire!

There seems to be a commonly held belief among humans that we are all in competition with one another. We seem to believe that there is general scarcity everywhere, and that we have to fend for ourselves and make sure we get our share of whatever we imagine we need. This attitude and belief system has been so strong that some groups (those who perceive themselves as stronger or more righteous) have gone so far as to create wars with others in order to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs.

This general attitude has created divisions among people, and nowhere is this more visible than in the apparent division between men and women. In western culture, we have referred to this as The Battle of the Sexes, as if men and women are actually at war with one another.

Men have been heard to say things like “Women...you can't live with them, and you can't kill them.”

Women have been heard to say things like “Men...50% testosterone and 100% stupid.”

While these kinds of statements may seem funny in certain contexts, in reality they are actually hurtful comments that do nothing to improve relations between the sexes. At Life Mastery TV, we believe that it’s time to put a stop to this kind of thinking and to begin to heal the rift that we have created between women and men. So, this week, Tommy & David have invited two incredible women, Audra Erwin and Kristen Richardson—both of whom you have met in previous webinars—to balance out a discussion that they hope will motivate the creation of a

Ceasefire of the Sexes

Our intention during this particular show is to shed some light on the kinds of judgments that we have about each other, because we believe that—even if we don’t speak them out loud—our unconscious thoughts have a powerful impact on how we show up and how we treat other people.

This episode promises to be edgy and powerful. But as always, David & Tommy will keep things fun and educational. So, mark your calendar and join us for another FREE webinar.
