Welcome to podcast number 6 of Agent of Change: Thought Into Form. Today's show is a departure from Steve's vision in that for this ONE TIME ONLY, it is a presentation, rather than an abstract conversation. His reason for this is that his guest, Matthew Ryan, is a perfect way to illustrate what can happen when we stand in our truth and honor our connection to Source without expectation or judgment. Matthew developed his own modality of Gamma Wave Healing and was given this gift in a most unique way. His story has inspired Steve to re-frame his personal inter-dimensional experiences and, if you are lucky, he may share some of them with you in a future show. Gamma wave healing is a unique energetic healing modality developed by Matthew, a teacher and healing practitioner living in Taos, New Mexico. Matthew works with clients in person and remotely, facilitating healing sessions. Matthew uses his tools to identify and clear energetic patterns, like Implanted Belief Systems, then send these back to Source to be

The word Metaphor is from a Greek origin, meaning "to transfer" or "to carry over" between literal and figurative.   Metaphor can be a thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else, especially something abstract, as in "the amounts of money being lost by the company were enough to make it a metaphor for an industry that was teetering". Or "the lightening storm was like angry teeth in the sky."   Metaphor is usually considered a figure of speech which makes an implicit, implied or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated but share some common characteristics. In other words, a resemblance of two contradictory or different objects is made based on a single or some common characteristics.   A closely related word, or idea, to Metaphor is SYMBOL: a thing that represents or stands for something else, especially a material object representing something abstract, as in the statement, "the limousine was another symbol of his wealth and authority."   As sentient humans, we exert our wil

Over the decades of his life, Steve has learned to separate out a flavor of terror from the rest of all the other terror. And that one flavor is simply this: he finds himself without a map. In other words, he finds himself at a place or point in his life where he has never been, or sometimes that no one has ever been, so there is no map. That becomes the only truth about it, and then suddenly the terror or fear loses its power. Steve has found that when he allows his plans or goals to only be real in the sense of HOW THEY FEEL, rather than every detail that must happen to achieve it, this choice gives him AND the universe significant freedom to manifest in a meaningful and more natural way. Many times when he focuses on how the goal FEELS, he comes to the realization that in some ways he is already there, and in all ways it is a mechanism to draw it towards him because it is resonating at the same vibration as his thoughts. Are MAPS real to begin with? They may only be a loose representation of territory in

Whether it is named God or Goddess, a higher power, Great Spirit, The Universe, or SOURCE, we are all connected emotionally, physically and psychically. Holding the idea of connection is to remember who we are, why we are here, and knowing that the immense greatness which fills our lives comes from SOURCE. Quantum Entanglement illustrates that all matter and all things are connected. That connection is instantaneous and does not even follow the accepted universal speed limit....the speed of light.   Source is all, and all knowing. Our bodies are made of atoms created from exploded stars. All thoughts and all ideas simultaneously exist within the framework of The Universe. Being human, we overlay our limited ideas of time and space onto Source, which makes it more of a challenge to open our minds, hearts and souls to listen to ideas and answers streaming forth. The challenge is open to everyone and can be the most fulfilling experience in human existence.   By honoring our innate connection to the Universe or

Steve presents his definitions of what "Thought Into Form" means, based on his personal stories and experiences. The first five podcasts are solo shows which establish a foundation of Steve's ideas. The following shows will be contextual conversations with inspiring guests. Thought Into Form is based on our reality and life as we know it. It is precipitated out of the Quantum Vacuum. Whether we call it God, Goddess, a Higher Power or The Universe, much of today's spiritual and quantum physics embrace thought becoming manifested in reality through conscious thought, prayer and meditation. There are many ways of describing the same thing. A key ingredient to creating new thoughts and patterns is the personal connection to SOURCE, whatever you may choose to call it. The next show will explore the SOURCE connection. Visit Steve's website at http://www.gootgeld.com

Steve presents his definition of what an Agent of Change is by sharing his personal stories and experiences. The first five podcasts are solo shows which establish a foundation of Steve's ideas. The following shows will be contextual conversations with inspiring guests. An Agent of Change: -acts as a catalyst for change. -understands the critical connection to Source. -thrives by having no map. -understands that failure is only feedback and growth. -has the patience to embrace generational shift. -is easy to talk and connect with. -uses their wisdom and talent to tell their truth to the world. The success of social evolution is based on leadership which employs honed intuitive and listening talents, knowledge of continuously adding value, and banks on sacred economics and conscious capitalism.
