A Series on The Laws of The Universe..

Greetings party people!

I'm Happy to announce that I had my first discussion group last week on "Creating a Better you". It was a very positive experience! A small group of us will gather periodically and discuss different ways of evolving as the powerful creators we are. I'm excited and Inspired to be apart of it, I already see it growing beyond expectation.

Anyways I usually don't blog for the sake of blogging.Typically I've been studying something that inspires me to write and it is no different here.. That being said I want to venture in to The Laws of The Universe. These Laws govern what happens to us in our daily lives. So basically whether you want to accept it or not YOU are RESPONSIBLE for what happens to YOU! So if I believe this to be True,then it rings true to me to want to create a REALITY that will bring Joy/Love/Abundance. So How do I do that?? I do that by learning to CONTROL the THOUGHTS that I THINK. That may sound challenging because we have up to 60,000 thoughts a day,lol. So then the next step becomes, How Do I Feel When I Think the Thought?? because its the FEELING/ENERGY/EMOTION behind the Thought that can gain ENERGY/MOMENTUM which then produces Manifestations.

So then the first law we will discuss today is.. "The Law of Cause and Effect".. We've all heard it before, What goes around comes around, You reap what you sow. This is very true but how can I take control of it and use it more for my benefit. I think for many of us the idea that we are in total control of what happens to us is tough to accept because we've been conditioned to only live through our 5 physical senses. Sight,Touch.Taste,Smell,Hear.. These physical senses are what most of us use to respond to the external world. I would like to share with you a different perspective on it.

Cause and Effect. When we allow the external environment(family,friends,significant other,job) etc.to EFFECT how we FEEL, we end up focusing on Who/What CAUSED that.That cause and effect is us living as the VICTIM to the environment. The true aspect of Cause and Effect  isn't in the environment changing how we think and feel. its when we can think and feel independent of whats going on in the environment. Now we are no longer living at cause and effect, we begin to CAUSE an EFFECT! This is when people begin to feel empowered! We can always Choose a BETTER FEELING THOUGHT at ALL TIMES. WE have that POWER no matter what happens we always have 2 choices!! Is the GLASS half FULL or is it half EMPTY. Try it for a week and see! I guarantee you, YOU WILL see and more importantly FEEL a difference..

I AM THAT, I AM

Good Day Party People!

I was watching something  called "The Moses Code" the other day on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTrcL3sNlzo.. Check it out if you have time.

The biggest thing I got out of it was this phrase "I AM THAT, I AM". Exodus 3:14 Of the King James version says that when Moses came unto the burning bush and asked God's name, God replied "I am That, I am". Now those of you who actually KNOW me, know that I am not a Bible toting, Soap box preaching person. But this phrase really struck a chord with me. As I continue as a Spiritual Being having a Physical experience this phrase instantly became extremely important to me. It has because as we all know scripture has been manipulated to mean whatever the interpreter wants it to mean and we have seen through out history how the Bible has been used to justify all kinds of activities. So my interpretation of "I am that, I am" simply means.. EVERYTHING AROUND US from the air, the ocean, the trees, the animals, people(good and bad) etc.. I AM THAT!! Now many of you may agree or disagree which I welcome.. But when I consider God's words in this context the world just became that much clearer, resistance that may arise to people ,situations,  places or things, are RELEASED because "I AM THAT, I AM".. The homeless person - I AM THAT.. The naive child - I AM THAT.. The Tree, The Dog - I AM THAT.. So if I embrace All things AS ME the How Would I Treat ME?? I Would LOVE ME in every situation, I would FORGIVE ME, I would LISTEN TO ME, I Would NURTURE ME so on and so forth.. I could go on forever with examples but I'm sure you get the point.

It reminds me of a Phrase that I borrow from Muhammad Ali "ME - WE".. which is self explanatory We are the same, all from the Human Family. "I AM THAT, I AM" from God's mouth to Moses' ears to my ears! I AM YOU and YOU are ME and I LOVE ME, so as the Universal Law of Correspondence states "As Above, So Below".. I LOVE YOU!!!!

Be Well! Brooklyn Mclinn

Talk with My Nephew

What it do! What it do!

I Hope that you all had a Great weekend! I sure did..






Grab your veggie/fruit smoothie or coffee and sit back, I'm long winded on this one,lol.

Today I wanted to share an Experience I had yesterday with my nephew. I went to visit he and my brother where they work. He's picking up a trade and has an opportunity to work,learn from my brother(his father) at the same time. So as I'm sitting there watching him work, looking like a young apprentice finding his way, not totally sure of what he's doing but at the same time doing a good job, a since of pride came over me. This may seem like a small thing but my nephew hasn't always made the best choices in his young 20 something year old life. So to see him kind of finding his way made me feel good. Anyway he's done with his work and cleaning up to go, when my brother and a co-worker are giving him tips/advice on how to be better at what he's doing. I could tell he was listening but with some resistance as if he wasn't totally open about what was being said to him. I'm observing this and thinking are they picking up on this fact and would they change tactics to try to get him receive the info, which I might add is very helpful to his growth!. After about 5-10mins of them talking to him they begin to get frustrated and then he in turns gets frustrated and at this point the conversation is pointless because nothing is being accomplished. So I step  in with my Dalia lama a**,lol trying to calm the situation and tell my nephew that I would explain it to him later. And everyone is like no explain it to him now. I express that it would be pointless because every ones temperature was running high and that it was best to cool off first before continuing. I agree to meet my nephew later but first went to have a drink with my brother. The subject of my nephew came up and my brother began to get frustrated again and couldn't understand why his son wouldn't just take his advice because "He knows better and his son should just listen!". He began to compare him to his other children and "Why he couldn't listen like those children". I asked my brother if he's ever said to my nephew that he should be more like his siblings? and he said "Yes". I cringed a little on this inside because I KNOW my brother Loves and cares for his children and only wants the best for them. I asked my brother if he would be open to considering a couple things. He nodded yes. I asked him if he'd ever heard of "Bobby Knight" the famous college basketball coach known for his temper and his winning. He said yes, I said you know his style of coaching is in your face and rah rah!. He may grab a chair and throw it across the floor, snatch a player up and curse him out in public. I said he's been successful using this style, he's won 2 national championships this way. I asked if he'd heard of "Phil Jackson"? he looked at me like really? of course dummy,lol.. I said you know Phil's style was more open depending on the player he's dealing with. Michael,Kobe,Shaq or Dennis Rodman and he's won 11 championships that way. My brother agreed and began to see what I was getting at with dealing with my nephew. I said when you compare him to his siblings in front of him, although you mean well, in essence what you are saying is "he's not as good as them and who he is, is not good enough". I wish more parents understood that when they speak to their children this way. We should never compare children because subconsciously we are sending a message of "Not good enough" which  most time is not the intent.
My brother agreed but also kept saying my nephew is smarter than that and should be doing better and I said in your opinion! lol.. I said your job is to give him the information and if he doesn't use it, that's on him but he shouldn't be made to feel bad for not using it. I asked my brother when my nephew was a baby and learning to walk and stumbled and fell down while trying did "You get frustrated with him then?" my brother said of course not! I said exactly he is a baby when it comes to learning this new trade and he's learning to walk in it and he's stumbling and falling. And your job is just to guide him with a message that is motivated in love and make sure that he doesn't hurt himself just like when he was a baby learning to walk.. My brothers face lit up because it actually made sense to him. Although Its gonna take some time, it was definitely a big step in the right direction!. Yay for progress,lol.
Part 2 of this story is when I saw my nephew later that night, and he made a point to come up to me and ask me to explain to him what I said I would at his job. First I explained to him why I wanted to wait to talk about it and he totally understood letting cooler heads prevail. He said uncle I don't understand why they want me to do it the way they want me to. I said what does that entail?. He said they want to come to the shop when it first opens, and I end up sitting around all morning bored not making any money because whoever comes in gets worked on by the more experienced guys and I get the scraps. I barely make enough money to pay to have my space there. I have bills, I'm stressing.. I NEED to MAKE MONEY! I'm listening and I can see it means a lot to him to understand. His energy is definitely on the lower vibrating scale of anger, frustration and feeling powerless. I started with "You know I love you" and anything I say from this point forward is out of love. He agreed.. I said do you love what your doing for work? he said I like it alot. I said there in lies the issue. You don't put forth total effort because its not what you love to do. You get back exactly what you put into it. Its the "Law of Attraction", he perked up because it was clear he had never heard it this way. I said because if it was your PASSION to be there, you would be the first one there and the last one to leave soaking up all the information that those guys could offer you. I said I LOVE ACTING that's why Ive been so persistent with it and even at my age I'm constantly looking to grow and change perspectives on how I can be in better alignment with it! I said what do you LOVE to do? he said Coach kids at basketball, I said so why don't you? He said I was before I got into trouble and went to jail. I looked at him knowingly like and who is responsible for that? He pointed at himself. I said thank you for taking responsibility for your situation. You are RESPONSIBLE for your REALITY! Your unhappiness, your stress, your current condition is all done by you! its not your Dad, its not your Mother, its not society, its nothing but the CHOICES YOU make!.. He began to tear up because the realization of what he is doing was becoming clear. I said you need to change your perspective about your job, there are endless opportunities around you but you have to be attentive and alert to even see them. If you're pouting and disinterested your perspective will continue to conjure the reality you've been seeing. You never know the person you may meet could be a customer at your job that could ultimately get you closer to your passion! God doesn't make mistakes you are there for a reason, The Universe is working on your behalf! but you have to know that to even be open to it. There were more tears and more understanding, I told him once again I loved him and I'm here anytime you need to talk, that I had some books I needed him to read help this process, he agreed, we hugged and went back into the living room. His father looked at us and can see his son had been crying and asked about it. And my nephew with the most courage Ive seen him display said I'm trying Dad. My brother said yea but.. and I stopped him and said hear him out. My nephew expressed he didn't feel like his dad was being fair. The look on my brothers face I will never forget, he dropped his head in amazement as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. My brothers eyes teared up, my nephew was crying and my brother looked at his son and said "You know I just want the best for you? That's all Ive ever wanted.." my nephew nodded yes and they embraced and kissed. And it was the most touching moment Ive seen in sometime! A man, embracing his son, with LOVE, through the frustration, hurt and anger. We all sat down and continued listening to music and talking and cracking jokes.
I'm really excited for my brother and my nephew I believe a new chapter in their relationship is about to be written..
I'm sure I'm leaving out some details but I know you get the gist of it. The Moral to the story is once we can put down our EGO's (Edging God Out)(Wayne Dyer) and be open and honest without Judgment mountains will be moved.

Enjoy your Sunday.. Brooklyn Mclinn #onemansperspective

What's up y'all today being Thursday a national holiday for Thanksgiving! I'm not going to get into what or how this "Holiday" came into being,lol at this point in my life it doesn't matter. All that matters is "How YOU FEEL!" and If getting together on this day with family and friends makes you feel warm and fuzzy then GET IT IN!.. Save me a plate!! lol..

Anyways if you catch a break in between seconds and thirds and some football, going to continue the series everyday until its completed;-) GROWTH doesn't take a day off!

Before we continue, I wanted to mention I had lunch with a dear friend of mine yesterday, a fellow actor and we were discussing my experiences recently with some travel that I've been doing to NY, Lagos(Nigeria), Belize,Honduras and Cozumel&Costa Maya Mexico. As we spoke she began to share about where she is in life professionally and I noticed some choices of words that she was using that were getting in the way of her desires. So I asked if I could tweak a couple things she was saying and she agreed. Only because it was something that I have done myself over the years and noticed it in her conversation. I noticed that in her explaining of what she wanted to accomplish there were a lot of CONDITIONS to what she wanted. What I shared with her is that You're CONFUSING THE UNIVERSE! Lol.. The Universe doesn't understand conditions! Either YOU WANT IT or YOU DON'T. It is only going to give you what the prominent vibration is. Which in many cases is "I want it but".. Most of us don't realize we are doing this to ourselves and creating blocks that prevent full manifestation of what we have asked GOD for. If I was to type in Google search "No Football".. What do you think is going to come back in the search results?? Um you guessed it, FOOTBALL! lol.. The search like the Universe doesn't decipher between yes and no it gives you what the dominant thought is!! FOOTBALL.. So when we are asking for something we should learn to remove the conditions, either you want it or you don't. As I explained this she began to tear up not realizing what she was doing. I then told her that is why we were having this conversation for growth and improvement. Don't go home and beat yourself up for it, be grateful that a word was given that helped to clean up that blockage so you can move forward aggressively in the blessings that await you!

But I digress,lol..  "Average people believe you have to DO something. Rich people believe you have to BE something to get rich."

Living in ABUNDANCE is a state of BEING not something you DO. Now don't get me wrong, to accomplish anything of course there is Action involved but it is birthed out of How You Feel and if you Feel Good then the Action is an Inspired Action and not something being done out of Obligation! It comes down to your Perspective and most times its just tweaking how you are perceiving something. For Example, a friend of mine who works at CAA(Top Talent Agency) gave me a different perspective on how I was looking at my career. My thought was why do I have to DO(out of obligation) certain things that I believed my agent and manager should be DOING??.. He put it plainly because it will HELP YOUR SITUATION! He told me to stop looking at this action as well if I'm DOING(out of obligation) it then what am I paying them for and start to look at it from a stand point of EMPOWERING myself, which like we spoke earlier is a FEEL GOOD THOUGHT which in turns INSPIRES ME! and instantly it doesn't feel like obligation anymore. Because at the end of the day no one is going to care about me more than me, so I should be the one volunteering to do it, its for my benefit!

Enjoy your day! #onemansperspective

Dreams.. and Living in Expectation

June 23, 2011 at 2:47pm
I wrote this over 2 years ago and is more relevant today as it was then..

       Interesting thing happened in Acting Class last night.. We were doing an exercise called a Dream Sequence, where you close your eyes and See everything you've every wanted for yourself, being as Specific as possible. Leaving no detail out. No matter what you desire see it without judgement. If its a Big house, car, money,family, vacation, fellowship etc.. Whatever it is SEE it and allow for whatever energy that comes in to flow thru you. When we truly are tapped into to our truth there is an energy and a physicality that is manifested thru the thought. Thoughts become things.. So as I stood there watching my students go thru this I didnt see much of a change in the energy/physicality, the majority of them stood motionless. I thought to myself wow this is interesting..
Then I said lets envision the opposite. See all of your Dreams/Desires not coming true. See yourself stuck in the postion that you're in and even as much as having to go backwards.. Going home to face the criticism of not having made it. Instantly I saw an energy from the class, a physicality connected to the Disappointment. It was really troubling to see, not because they were allowing themselves to believe that the disappointment was possible. It was because they could allow themselves to see the disappointment without allowing themselves to see the EXpectation!
So after the exercise we talked about the feelings attached to the different objectives. And overwhelmingly what came out is a Fear of allowing themselves to Dream too Big, Not having taken the time to Dream and see abundance and expectation and sitting in it and allowing the Feeling to permeate. Some said it was easier to see the Disappointment because its what they were use to. Really broke my Heart to hear that.
Just like the majority of things in Life, its a Learned behavior to Live in Expectation and not Disappointment although they go hand in hand. The Universal Law of Polarity.. Everything has its Opposite.
We need to Learn how to Dream for it to be Real..
What I shared with them is that I have Big Dreams for myself and what I will do is go touch the Dream! If that going to the dealership and sitting in the car that I want and taking picture in it, going to the house and taking pic in it, going to the Oscar statue and taking pics with it.. Whatever I desire I make a point to go and touch it! Because It Lets Me Know That Its Real!!!.. Lets start a movement of Energy and Start touching our Dreams!! Take pics and Post them of your Dreams, Lets Support and Encourage eachother to know its possible and That Dreams do come True. The First Step is to Think it and Then GO TOUCH IT!!!
Sorry for Rambling but I needed to get this out.. Peace..

Thoughts and Beliefs

Hey All!!

Hoping this day finds you Grateful and Thankful.. I'm going to continue a series I started up on Facebook but am going to finish here.. Taking a look at some Thoughts and Beliefs that I and many of us have carried and how we can choose to look at them in a different Perspective that can change the outcome. Keeping in my mind, Thoughts become things! Energy, Vibration and Frequency are REAL! What we Vibrate is Exactly what we get back. We are ALL Manifesting our Realities, So lets work to be Deliberate about it as oppossed to being Reacting after the fact.

Here is the Re-Cap, The highlighted is previously discussed on Facebook.

      A Belief is only a thought you keep thinking!.. "Average people think MONEY is the root of all evil. Rich people believe POVERTY is the root of all evil." This was a thought I carried for awhile.. Money is not the issue.. Its the holder of money.. Money is only energy(currency) to be passed around. 

     "Average people think selfishness is a vice. Rich people think selfishness is a virtue." At first glance this statement seems to be what ills our world right now.. My take is "I need to take care of me(self) first! Get in Alignment with my desires, let God(spirit,source) Guide Me and then I can help(share) with others!" Change yourself Change the World!

     "Average people have a lottery mentality. Rich people have an action mentality." Cant front Ive played the lottery, Ive wanted govmt to do things for me, Ive wanted people to do things for me.. I now get in alignment with things I desire and move with Inspired action to watch God Manifest.. A belief is only a thought I keep thinking!

     "Average people think the road to riches is paved with formal education. Rich people believe in acquiring specific knowledge." A single minded focus.. it doesnt mean you arent able to do other things,lol.. but what is going to be the root from which everything else branches from?? Beethoven,Einstein,Picasso,MLK etc.. Were known for specific things.. The Universe responds to Energy,Focus, Vibration,Momentum.. Pick something and dare to be Great at it! A dad,A mom, A friend.. Be RICH at something!

    "Average people long for the good old days. Rich people dream of the future." Ive definitely been guilty of this.. Using past experiences as HITCHING Post and getting stuck! as oppossed to GUIDING Post to steer you toward what God has in store for you. I will take it a step further as I only consider the NOW as that is truly all we have! because your FUTURE is determined by how you FEEL right NOW! Have a great RIGHT NOW! im bout to grab a drank! holla!

    "Average people see money through the eyes of emotion. Rich people think about money logically." Aint this the truth!!lol.. Ive been guilty of this.. Hoarding money, not thinking im going to make more, worrying about it being taken away from me. Now I understand Money is Energy(Currency) to be exchanged! its virtual, its a perceived value. Money is everything.. Time,Resources,helping hand,an ear to listen etc.. YOU! are Money! you have VALUE!.. The Universe responds to Energy! Create a Habit of Feeling good about earning and spending money.. Like breathing, Money in, Money out! U dont trey to take in ALL the Air you need for the day in morning. You take it as you need it! Just like Air, Money is everywhere, take it as you need it, knowing it will never run out, like Air!! Change your thoughts, Change your Life!!

    "Average people earn money doing things they don't love. Rich people follow their passion." This is one lesson I learned early on from my pops.. Ive had 2 jobs in my life, one at Sneakerland for a month when I was 16 and at UPS for 1/half days,lmao.. when I was 19.. I vowed after that to only do stuff that made me happy! Do what you love and abundance will come because of it! Too many of us are conditioned to equate physical effort with money, Abundance is vibrational/energy you can attract it by Inspired action doing what you LOVE to do!! I Love to Act,Teach(share information),play basketball(coach kids) etc.. Whats your passion? What do you Love so much you're willing to suffer for?? Thats where your abundance is living!! 

"Average people set Low Expectations so they're never disappointed. Rich people are up for the challenge."
Once again I have been guilty of this. Not knowing that our full power can only be realized by continually stretching our comfort zone. We live in an Universe that has limitless capacity! Think about it, at some point most ideas in the world were considered absurd at some point,lol.. Planes,Electricity,Space Travel, The world being round!.. There is nothing that you cannot achieve!! Stop speaking limitation into your lives. Sometimes the people that love us tell us not to reach too high because they fear the hurt we may feel in falling. But in Falling thats where the greatest lessons are. When we fell as babies learning to walk, we were encouraged to get back up and try again. Why did that change as we got older?? 

A friend always told me there will be enough of other people telling you what you Can and Cannot do. Don't tell it to yourself. Be the one person who Believes in you without fail!.. Confucius said "Those who say they CAN and those who say they CAN'T are both RIGHT! Lol..

Remember EVERYTHING is ENERGY.. The Universe responds to ENERGY what you VIBRATE on is what you GET BACK.

Change your THOUGHTS Change your LIFE!

This is my first blog, so if forgive if I ramble as I get the hang of this. Ive been asked to do this for sometime now. I've stop resisting it and chose to allow instead.
What is a Belief? A formal definiton is an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exist. So simply put a Belief is a Thought that I keep thinking. Most of us have some Belief system that we've gotten from our parents, our environment, school, friends, tv, music, Government, society, religon etc.. These Thoughts(Beliefs) have shaped our lives and are responsible for the outcomes that we receive. I sometime ago began to question my Thought System. I wondered why I believed the thoughts I was thinking. As I took this Journey it opened up some wounds, made some folks feel uncomfortable, brought a whole lot of clarity and a resolution that I am in Control of the Thoughts that I think and I have the power in spite of what we've been conditioned to think, to view the world for exactly what it is  PERFECT.
