Podcasts about living from greatness

Are you ready to take control of your life and live from greatness? Do you believe that magic is possible? Our guest today is author, coach, and spiritual teacher, William Whitecloud. In 1996, inspired by the momentum of his own self-transformation, William founded a program called Living From Greatness, a personalized course dedicated to empowering participants in discovering and living their authentic nature and expressing their own creative spirit. Today he explains that negative dynamics such as lack of time and money, being affected by outside forces such as the economy, being stuck, and worrying about the future, are purely symptoms of functioning from Low-Level Creativity. The cause of Low-Level Creativity is the belief (conscious or unconscious) that we don't have the power within us to conceive of and manifest our highest fulfillment. William will outline a simple process for taking your power back. William teaches his “Natural Success” program to thousands of clients worldwide and also contributes to social and environmental projects in Africa, for example, supporting vital snakebite anti-venom initiatives in his childhood home country, Eswatini, located in Southern Africa.  His books include “The Last Shaman” and “The Magician's Way:  What it Really Takes to Find Your Treasure.” Info: www.williamwhitecloud.com

This milestone, fiftieth adventure is taken in the company of Taylor’s friend and mentor In creative orientation, William Whitecloud, the international bestselling author of three books including his latest, ‘The Secrets of Natural Success’, which gives you the secrets to succeed with your natural innate talents, ability and genius. The pair have a hero’s journey of a conversation about adventure, self-discovery, self-expression and how to create your own destiny, your own life using alchemical principles and creating as an orientation. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is some kind of obvious need to physically go further than what you know. We’d never have evolved from the valley we were in of we weren’t curious. Technologically, geographically and biologically – how we’re grown and how strong we are – we’ve developed that through adventure, curiosity and exploration. Every human being has something in common, we’re all born on the wrong track in life. By that I mean we come into life, have experiences and figure out what it is, we also have negative experiences and learn to avoid them. Those ideas will cause us to take on an idea of who we should be, to protect ourselves, but that’s not in line with who we really are. We get our need of danger, excitement and risk from jumping out of an aeroplane, watching a horror movie. It’s quite easy to get your thrills vicariously in this modern world. You can get a great sense of satisfaction from following a sports team, when they lose, you’re upset but when they win, you’re the hero despite not ever playing for them. The hero’s journey: A child is born of a powerful lineage and get lost/hidden from who they are, living a mediocre life until they are restored to live out their greatness. We’re not meant to stay on the wrong track in life. But most people don’t live out their journey, most are living out their shadow life, accommodating their ego. Often the painful, torturous experiences of initiations, which look horrible and cruel. But, whatever happens was to drive in the teaching of the group, so you never forget the teaching. BEST MOMENTS ‘I still think the biggest adventure is the adventure of oneself.’ ‘Men would rather go to war, kill or be killed, than face what is dysfunctional or limited about themselves.’ ‘The refusal of the call is the conditional nature of taking on the adventure. You’re not in control of the circumstances.’ ‘You need to understand the nature of what you’re going through to better go through it.’ ‘If you want to make people unhappy and unsuccessful in life, just give them a list of people they should look up to and ways they should be.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Adventures Of Self Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.adventures.of.self/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The.Adventures.of.Self ABOUT THE GUEST William Whitecloud was born in a small African country called eSwatini, where his parents were carving a 35,000 acre sugar and citrus estate out of virgin bushland. Growing up in such a wild and remote part of the world was to influence his character and personality in many ways, but the most enduring effect that time had on him came from being immersed in the supernatural worldview of the tribes people around them. William seemed to live in an enchanted world where a host of entities and elemental forces wrestled each other for control over the fate of every living thing. He says: Life for me was an endless romp in the Garden of Eden, until I was eight years old, when I was packed off to a succession of Christian orientated boarding schools in the colonial education system. It was forcefully impressed on me that my free spirited nature and heathen superstitions were of no value to the socio-economic machine I was being conditioned to fit into. Ten years later I left school, cured of my innocence and wonder, and thoroughly convinced I had no choice but to find my place within the rational order of Western civilization. But my heart was never in it. I was a conscript, not a volunteer. His first real job was working for a South African commodity trading company, where his indoctrination into the perception of capital as the prime mover behind life was sealed. In 1983, he immigrated to Australia and switched from trading physical commodities to speculating on global financial money markets. Ironically, his trading mentor in Australia was a highly successful analyst and trader given to using profoundly esoteric methods for predicting market movements. Having his eyes opened to the supernatural phenomena that held sway over these giant markets re-ignited his childhood fascination of hidden forces at play in the world. Yet this window into the mystical nature of the universe did nothing to free William from his disillusionment with an existence that seemed designed solely to fulfill societal expectations. In quick succession he developed substance abuse problems, lost all his money, his marriage broke down, and he was diagnosed with a supposedly incurable life threatening illness. With his life at rock bottom, his attention turned from merely observing phenomenon at work outside of himself to seeking ways in which he could practically apply magic to create what he truly wanted: a life rich in health, wealth, love and creative expression. This search brought William into contact with the alchemical principles of Hermetic Philosophy and the ideas of Robert Fritz, founder of Technologies For Creating. Both modalities pointed to the premise that we subconsciously create our own reality and that there is a way in which we can direct the subconscious mind to create the reality we choose. As he delved into these superbly effective principles for reconnecting with and manifesting what is truly important to the human spirit, he made the most startling discovery: that the sad story I just told you about myself was just that – a story. It all really did happen, but it was simply the unfolding of a script he himself had written. Thankfully, this was not the sum total of his revelation. He also discovered that he could make up a new story, one that reflected his true potential. Watching every area of his life rapidly healing and prospering, as he applied his new understanding, confirmed to him what he had believed as a child. Life is magic. In 1996, inspired by the momentum of my own self-transformation, William founded a program called Living From Greatness, a personalized course dedicated to empowering participants in discovering and living their authentic nature and potential. While continuing to be involved in the LFG program, and more lately the Natural Success project, he has worked one-to-one with thousands of people, coaching them in bringing their dreams into reality. His twenty five-year search to discern the essence of what it takes for people to connect with and live effortlessly from their creative spirit forms the basis of his three books, The Magician’s Way, The Last Shaman and Secrets of Natural Success. He now live in Santa Monica, California, where he devotes hus time to writing and developing movies, enjoying his family and letting life unfold by magic. https://naturalsuccessacademy.com/ Instagram: @williamwhitecloud ABOUT THE HOST Taylor Roark is the founder of Galliant Trainings, which guides and facilitates individuals and organisations in Creative Purpose.

Our unending quest to bring you fresh thinking to help you on your journey to reconnect with your own greatness has once again brought us to the door of William Whitecloud.   A few episodes back , William inspired us all, with his story of how he overcame an illness that brought him close to the arms of death, and how this was a catalyst for him to become an Author, Coach and International Speaker.   Thousands of people have now been helped by his work including his coaching programme, Living From Greatness.  His books, The Magician’s Way and the The Last Shaman, are compelling reads as well as best sellers.  They llustrate how we are all innately ‘wired’ to be successful if only we can find ways to let go of our past conditioning – and William can definitely help us do that. We have invited him back to share with us his insights into how to create Success ‘naturally’.  Many aspire to be successful and yet it is not always easy to define what 'Success' really means.  To some it is purely financial, for others it is great relationships or recovering their health. In this in-depth conversation with Williams we explore the labels we put on success and why it is so difficult for many of us to achieve on a material plane what we see as success. Measures of success, steps to success and critical success factors are all up for discussion with the inimitable William Whitecloud. No one can deny that William has made an in-depth study of the subject of success.  William is based in California though he will be running workshops in London at the end of May 2013.
