Embracing My Journey ~ Living with passion & purpose!

Welcome to the “Living the Life of my Dreams” interview series.   Come on over, take a seat and learn more about Dr. Tom Goode as he shares his inspirational story with us…

Living the life of one’s dreams is something many people believe to be a myth….yet; you are living proof that one can achieve this goal…Tell us about the path you traveled to arrive where you are today:  Brought to the doorway of death through my unconscious actions, I began with the idea of rebuilding my health. Wherever one starts, we eventually wind up engaging our spiritual nature. All paths lead there. Totally out of balance with my spiritual nature, my health was gone by age 38. Once alignment was restored, the symptoms disappeared. I knew then, as badly as I had been stuck, if I could recover there was hope for anyone. At that point I dedicated my life to assisting others.

What kept you moving forward on the days things were not going exactly the way you were hoping they would? Through various practices I was able to keep the sense of connection to a higher order of reality of which I was (and am as are all) a part. Feeling connected, moving forward was simply a natural expression of Being.

What piece of advice would you give to someone who has decided they would like to live in a world of their own creation? Make sure it is YOUR creation and not a reality arising from unconscious ego desires or the unfulfilled dreams of parents and ancestors. What brings YOU joy?

What special things do you do for yourself daily to maintain your momentum and energy levels? Full-WaveÒ Breathing is the anchor technique I have used daily for the last 30+ years to remain cold-free and flu-proof. It includes the benefits of both meditative states and exercise.

If you could spend 3 days on a deserted island with two people of your choosing, who would they be and why? My wife and partner Caron would be my only choice as we are connected without words. A quiet vacation would be welcomed!

What is your favorite audio material and what do you enjoy most about this material? Although I have listened to dozens of audio programs searching for gems of wisdom, now mostly I listen to music—The Cosmic Waltz—to take me out of the ego mind states and into higher states of calm and quiet.

What is your favorite reading material and what gives it that special place in your heart? The best book most people have never read is Breathe and Grow Rich. It provides a fool-proof method of staying awake on the spiritual journey of life. A Course in Miracles, if followed, will open new doorways for the spiritual seeker so as to become a finder.

Who has inspired you and what is it about them that you found inspirational? The life and works of Kirpal Singh, was particularly inspiring to me because of the scope and clarity of his consciousness and his ability to relate to the human condition. “Google” that name, follow the links and receive a course in practical spirituality.

What do you see in your future? Approaching age 70 in a few months, life is becoming more expansive. Personally there is even greater joy! I attended a networking meeting the other day and when asked what I did, my response was: Sing, Dance and Play. It was my goal of 30 years ago and has been an ongoing practice.

Where is your favorite place in the world to spend time, what is special to you about this location? I have been blessed with travel to many beautiful spots, all reflective of the magnificence of the Creator and Creation. There is no one that is higher than another and each has its unique qualities. Currently where I am is my favorite location.

Who has been your greatest support system and how have they shown you their support?  A physical support system is like a ladder taking you to the roof. Once reaching the roof, the ladder is left behind. It too was a tool of the individual’s creation. So there is no who, only a what: Creator/Source, All-That-Is that is each and all.

What / who are you most thankful for and why? The discover of singing, dancing and playing—the realization and generation of joy—as life purpose.

What is your favorite way to contribute or give back? It brings (arouses within me) joy to assist others in their awakening. Thus I write articles and a newsletter (and have written 7 books on holistic living and produced The Cosmic Waltz music to raise one’s consciousness vibration) and consult on the telephone, host workshops and am a speaker.

Please share the top three things you feel people would benefit from doing if they truly desire to create the life of their dreams?
1) Get started with Full-Wave Breathing. It is the single most important exercise for life.

2) Daily dedication to living joyfully.

3) Feeding one’s mind and body (DIET=Daily Intake of Every Thing) for optimal energy and results.

Anything I missed that you would like to share? Enlightenment is not a path, but a realization that occurs through grace. Of course we could say that reaching the oil in a well also arises through grace. Both usually involve a great deal of drilling. Keep moving ahead; every day brings greater miracles for the miracle-minded.
