Hi
William:
I was first introduced to "consciousness" in the "***"
books -- but I didn't "get it." The book kept telling
me to think my "highest thought" at every minute. Well,
this didn't compute for me because it seemed to be calling for
a judgment on my part of myself and how could "I" tell
if I was getting MY "highest thought" -- I had been
mired in "muck" all my life -- what was I supposed
to THINK. I didn't have a road map and there seemed to be a scale
out there that I was supposed to measure up to. God was still
"out there" talking to me and it was up to me to find
the right channel. I was befuddled.
Then with your help, William, I began just observing -- doing
the "bird on the wire" idea -- with no judgment --
just observe, allow and discern -- notice -- chill out. I stopped
trying to figure things out. No good or bad -- just knowing that
everyone including me was getting just what they needed.
And now I can also observe and embrace my OWN feelings associated
with any event with this same sense of "allowing."
No need to run, deny or change the subject for I know that through
the very act of observing while feeling the feelings, the toxicity
or fear that I might connect with any event or person, will dissipate.
Along with all of this comes this great sense of surrender and
being in the flow of ATI (All That Is).
On that happy note I will close with
Love, Gretchen:)), Connecticut
Hi
William:
Hope this finds you percolating along in bliss as you have been
in my thoughts for the past two weeks.
I guess what I am feeling is immense gratitude for the spiritual
awareness that has come to me and the role that you have played
as a teacher. Thank you!
When I came on your site in Aug. of 2001 my pain and confusion
were overwhelming and I began to read anything and everything
that you wrote or recommended. It was like the curtains were
parting and the lights in the auditorium were coming on. I was
not alone -- in fact I was IT.
Today, I opened my file folder that contains your writings, e-mails,
etc., and reread your Perspectives on God -- Part 5-B: The Principles
Applied --
There it is in a nutshell -- everything we need to know -- after
we know that WE ARE GOD. I looked at all my underlining and notes
in the margins. It told the story of my happiness with finally
understanding the truths of what you were writing -- "the
ultimate GOOD NEWS." And the fact that I "got it."
But today, I am struck by the clarity and directness of the message.
Thank you again for leading me to it. I am sure that life situations
will keep honing my skills, but what a joyous journey it is now
that I have a "tool box" of truths and the skills to
use them.
It is ironic that I was writing you an e-mail on 9-11 last year
when my attention was drawn to the horror of the TV screen. Those
events seem to have amplified the effects of love and fear in
our world and the cycle that perpetuates them -- one way or the
other. I am happy to have a deeper understanding of these events.
Personally, my manifestations for happiness and a fulfilling
life continue…
I could never have cooked this up in my own little "noodle"
-- manifestation in all its magnificence with "all possibilities."
Just thought I would touch base to let you know about my journey
-- and thank you for your wisdom.
Love and Light, Gretchen:))
I am
touching base with a feeling of gratitude today -- for awareness
-- and to you for all your coaching to get me to this place.
The feeling just washed over me as I was waiting at a red light
this AM and looking at the blue sky. More and more my consciousness
level for the now is taking over and observation of my internals
and externals is kind of on conscious autopilot. I can't remember
the last time that I felt driven by the external -- wow, what
a switch -- I remember describing that negative focus as feeling
like a pinball in pinball machine. Even as folks are anxious
around me, I chill out and get my "bird on the wire"
going -- no more "grasping heart" for me. It is so
grand to know that it is ALL working out in perfect order (mine
and everybody's plan) -- and the real fun is, that in my wildest
imagination, I couldn't have dreamed up the wonderful things
that have been coming down my pike. It is sooooo cool.
Thanks. I think of you often and hope all is well with you.
Love and Light, Gretchen:))

Thank
you William for your great articles on your website. You truly
have a gift for making the sometimes hazy realm of metaphyics
simple and very powerful. I especially liked your insight into
not delaying happiness to some future time or outside source
but to be happy now. My biggest block was I was looking for a
"fix", a solution for happiness and success not realizing
that by constantly looking I am sending the message to my subconscious
mind that I am in lack of something. This problem is probably
very wide spread and is the reason most people don't find happiness
from reading and reading self help books. Simple is powerful
and you have a message that needs to be spread around the world.
Again, thankyou William.
Sincerely, Steve B

Mr.
Gunderson,
You don't know me, but thank you and God and everything. I read
your site the other day and continue to read it, and it's the
best news I've ever had in my entire life. It basically solidifies
in one concise chunk everything I've ever suspected or thought
about How the Universe Worked, but could never get gelled (sp)
in my mind. I've had similar thoughts, some clear, some nebulous
for many years along the lines of which you write.
And then miracle of miracles, I found your site after going to
Google search engine and typing in 'How the Universe Works' and
there you were. I needed to find somebody who thought like I
did to give me guidance, because I surely needed it. And although
I've had many conversations in life with other people about this,
let's just say this about that, your site is the first time in
my life I've met someone who talked like I thought and could
give me guidance. And I gobbled it up like I had been starving
for ages and someone finally put down luscious, nourishing food
in front of me, all I could eat. Your site has been such a revelation
and confirmation to me, tears are welling up in my eyes right
now just thinking about it…
My
40th birthday is coming up and all I can say is...this is the
best birthday present I ever got in my life. I'm already putting
into practice what you talk about and its been the 2 solid best
days of my life. (And I was never really a depressive person
before, only recently.) I've been so happy and now I know I can
have control over it. I know I will stumble, but 'that's cool'.
So thank you.
Mary

William--Just
wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how very, very good
your material is. I have a marketing/advertising background,
with lots of editorial experience. Your piece on the WTC was
excellent, but I really like your series that appeared in the
Conscious Creation website.
Your observations are very uplifting and accurate, in my opinion.
Best regards.
Jim

Dear
William:
I read your articles on Conscious Creation. When will your book
be out and where will it be available? Please let me know. I
would be very interested in reading the rest of it.

I would
like to thank you for coming to our meeting on Saturday night.
I really enjoyed hearing your words. As, I think, every one there
did. My friend Kathy sitting next to me, said later, that she
could feel her face start tingling. She was feeling the hairs
stand up on her face. I think it must have been the electricity
(energy) in the room that night. What a wonderous thing to have
a collection of minds and thoughts get together. And thanks again
for sharing with us.
Blessings,
Nancy, Indiana

Comments from a reader on various articles...
...Great article in the CC Journal. It will be good to read the rest. I felt like you were writing from my heart not yours. Thanks for sharing your experiences and insight.
...Your article is outstanding - I could feel how much I resonated with it line after line after line. Sometimes your writing feels as though I have created exactly what I need to see through you <grin>.
...When I saw the Left/Right table, I realized again how very far I've come along my path. There was a time where I was virtually every single item on the right side. I thought I was on the right path, yet I was always so sad at the same time. It is such a clear indicator that "Yes! Yes! Yes!" the very heart of what we believe can change. I feel so truly blessed.
...Just finished your article. It has great insight and encouragement - and is exactly consistent and falls within the framework of what I asked ATI (All That Is) to provide this week. Synchronicity...how was I to know you'd have your article finished this week anyway?
...Thanks
for all of your efforts on consciousness sharing. My experience
of knowing you has been one of my greater creations <smile>.
...What good news - a web site! At first look, I love it. You're
a great writer and convey conscious creation in a way that is
so easy to understand.

Have
you written a book on this subject? If not, I encourage you to
do so. You treat the most important subject we humans should
be concerned about with great clarity and thoughtfulness.

How do I say thank you to someone who freed my consciousness and gave me a path to stay on it??? You gave me the light to see my thinking and put me back on the path to my heart's desires. I also found out that I can enjoy the journey, which is something I was not doing. With all my heart, thank you...
One-thank you for your new web site!!! Two-thank you for continuing your great writings in conscious creation. I understand your words and they help me create and remain in the core of my being. I look forward to your upcoming articles and your first book…
As you know I have studied literally dozens of books on CC whereas most authors projected the journey to be a process of necessary steps (as outlined by them) and if "their" steps were not followed, there was no hope. I sometimes cannot help but wonder if some of these authors may be consciously or unconsciously attempting to generate dependency. I think that Stuart Wilde has a very valid point when he says "There is nothing more sickening than a spiritual teacher who exudes spiritual ego." You, dearest William, are a humble man of spirit. You set the record straight, set the truth forward. IT IS NOT A DIFFICULT PROCESS.
Your direct teachings have put me on the road of enlightenment and I am basically very happy and centered. I no longer have the fears I once had, and I am confident in my spiritual being. I am by no means saying "That's All Folks," however the journey for me is now a great deal of FUN!!!
The thing that gives me the most belief and knowing that your book is needed is my own journey and the journey of others in my circle of friends. I can say with all truth your words have made an impact on each one of us in the Unicorn Gathering. Each one of us has shifted so much into much more confident beings, knowing we are spiritual beings. Yes, William, you had that much impact!!!
Today, I went into your web site and I read the Consciousness Sharing. I cannot express how much that taught me about teaching, being a student and my role as a "fairly" consistent being of light.
Your love and concern always gives me your constant light, and shows me the love of Universal Mind, individualized through you. I know you will teach many "minds" the Truth of who we are and all the Love of the Universe. I am honored and blessed to be a part of your life.
Your personality, my dear William is your greatest teaching vehicle, you have taken all of you, and turned it into this beautiful teaching vehicle, bringing forth the ageless wisdom into modern form, teaching this truth from your personality vehicle. (In perfection I might add)

...I've since read literally hundreds (perhaps thousands) of authors from serious philosophers and religious teachers to get rich hucksters and new age weirdos (both, the good and the bad kind). I've also attended various seminars (often at great cost both financially and personally)…
...Out of this ten-year search, for me personally, your articles have made the most sense and, for lack of a better way to say it, feel the best to me.
I just
wanted to say thanks & let me know if you have any other
resources available like books, tapes, seminars, counseling,
etc.
Yours truly,
John E

Dear
Mr. Gunderson,
So wonderful to discover your web site! I particularly enjoyed
reading the statement of "Welcome" -- I found it to
be both Universal and comprehensive in it's scope. It is rare
to find such words of wisdom -- especially on the Internet!
Sincerely,
David

Hi,
William:
I found your site when I did a google search on the keywords
'elie wiesel
Your essay "The Muck of Mass Conscious Thinking" was
at the top of the search results, and I didn't really need to
go any further.
I've bookmarked your site, and plan to come back often as time permits (and really as I make time to come back, which I will).
I guess like most other people, I'm trying to 'make some sense of it all,'and your thoughts, along with Wiesel's, are among the best expressions of how I may yet do so.
Like
you, I consider myself a generalist (maybe even too much of one
- jack of all trades, master of none), and am beginning to realize
the nature of my own search and journey for discovery…
Best wishes, and thanks.
Jerry

I found
your site through a link on conscious creation and read your
stuff. Wow. It really hits home with me. I've read Seth material.
I've read much into creating our lives and metaphysics…
I'm glad I found your info. I read it often to remind myself
to not look to the outside for the answers, although the outside
sure does fool you a lot.

Your words not only "resonated" with me, but touched
me as well. I cannot thank you enough for the personal perspective
-- it was much needed.
Breaking free of the Ego and its limitations seems to be the heart of my issues. I suppose that is life, though. Digging deep to understand the true self, the untainted soul, and then realizing the layers of environmental influences which have brought us out of touch with that truer part of ourselves.
I felt great after reading your letter, and am carrying a copy with me as a reminder. AS the new semester starts, I'm anxious to create the atmosphere not only beneficial to my students, but to me as well!
Again
- thanks so much, William. Your words were a very bright blessing
to me!
Love and Peace,
Stacey

Responses
from a class participant to an exercise prescribed to assist
with surrender and detachment:
…I told them of all the wonderful manifestations that have
come my way due to the momentum provided by the exercise. One
is I just received round trip tickets to Las Vegas with two nights
hotel accommodations, completely free of charge, How I have only
worked 6 days since Dec. 20th and have more money than usual,
How I received a check in the mail the very day I needed it to
pay something else. And a host of others. Including validation
of my "fierce attractiveness" from a guy at gas station.
(Ha!!) And this is only day 15. Amazing how very well this works.
But not amazing, just the physics of the Universe, and now I
am "getting it." Thanks for the exercise William :)
I am
having so much fun!!!! I could just burst from all the joy and
energy I am currently feeling! can't wait to tell all the wonderful
coincidences ect that just keep happening! Every one at work
keeps saying "what is up with you, Can't you wipe that smile
off your face?" The only thing that keeps me from defying
gravity is the fear of "crashing" from this high? even
that thought is being dealt with. Fear of being too happy. This
too, is perfect.
Thank you William, It was the right message at the right time,
in the right place to bring just the shift I needed. Don't know
how I will ever repay you!!! (I know I don't "owe"
just showing gratitude is in my nature.)
