Transcript for the Living in Purpose video by Lisa Natoli Hi everyone! I m Lisa Natoli. Thank you so much for joining me and clicking the play button on this video. If you re watching this video, chances are that you have completed the 40 Day Program and are wondering what s next. I m here to give a little talk. I ve made no preparation. I really want to speak from my heart. Thank you for being here. Thank you for finishing the 40 Day Program. If you re watching this video and you haven't done the 40 Day Program or haven't heard about it, it s an online program that I created. It s totally free. I wanted to cover the basic principles and major themes of A Course in Miracles. One of the biggest things I have learned through my years of being on a spiritual path is that the biggest changes come from practice. I don t need to learn more things or study harder. Taking the principles that I m reading about and applying them to my daily life is what the 40 Day Program is all about. I wanted you to see a change. I wanted you to see that you change when you begin looking at your thoughts, emotional patterns, habits, and have a willingness to change them. When you change, the world changes and healing occurs. Many people in the 40 Day Program have experienced that. They ve seen it first hand. I m so grateful. I know it comes form practicing. There are a couple of options for the next step. I m going to talk about our online program, Living in Purpose. It s a six month mastery program for miracle-minded thinking. Before I talk about what that is, I want to say that you don t need a program. All you need is the book A Course in Miracles. It s a self-study book and a map. It s literally a map out of hell. It s a map out of your own patterns and ways of thinking. It has a one year workbook. Everything you need is in this book. It s important that I say that first. Having said that, a lot of people want extra support, help, guidance, encouragement, and inspiration. Bill and I created what s called Living in Purpose. It s a six month program. It is
pretty much an extension of the 40 Day Program, but for six months. The idea behind Living in Purpose is that you make a commitment to live the principles in ACIM consistently, every single day for six months. You have been doing this for 40 days. You may notice that as you finish the 40 Day Program, you tend to fall back into old patterns. That s just natural. You need to make a new commitment and dedicate yourself to practicing. We ve set up 24 topics for Living in Purpose. You receive an email once a week with one topic. You re going to receive access to all of the messages right up front. There s also an Abundance Program available to you. I ve gathered 24 messages that have changed my life. I was in poverty, had no job, and was in debt. Many of you know this from taking the 40 Day Program. I talked about it in there. I decided to practice some principles that other teachers have told me about. I saw that they worked. We are going back to the basics of practice and application. For the abundance work, I dedicated 5 weeks of my life to practicing these principles 100%. That was the difference. On day one I decided that I m going to the finish line and I m going to be the person that I ve wanted to become. I m rich, generous, happy, and centered in God. I lived from that place and everything changed. The money started flowing in. I paid off my debt in 9 months. Bill and I have taken all of the ideas that we ve learned and put them into the Abundance Program. There are 24 messages that you ll be getting. There are 2 messages that you ll be looking at every single week and one of those is the topic of the week. It s a practice. If you make the decision to come into Living in Purpose, I encourage you to try not to read all of the messages at once. That s not going to change anything for you. You do not need to learn more, you need to practice and apply. I ask you to stick with one topic per week. You re going to be in charge of when that week begins and ends for you. When you re ready to go on to week two, you go on to week two. From there you go on to week three, week four, and so on for six months. If you want to take longer than that, that s fine. I only encourage you to not do them all at once.
The great thing about this program is that you re going to start including everything in. This airplane overhead is a little distracting to me, but my mind training teaches me to include it in. Nothing can disturb my peace or my joy. Nothing. I don t want things to be different. These are the kinds of practices that you re going to receive. There s a lot of support in Living in Purpose. I want to talk about the money element. A lot of people want to do this program and get very excited. They ve finished the 40 Day Program and are ready for the next thing. They re ready to jump on board, but then they see that Living in Purpose costs money. I want to talk about that. That s the first breakthrough for many people. Why would you really want to do something, but when you see a cost on it, say, Aw, well? That s an old belief. That s an old pattern. You start to think, Okay wow, I never really noticed that I do that. I really want to do this and yet I m letting my old beliefs run the show. I m somebody that takes classes all of the time. I pay big money for classes. I always have a teacher at every given moment of my life. I love learning. Every time I want to take a program, I never have the money for it...never! One year I took a program that was $10,000. I ve taken a program that was $8,000. I ve taken an eight week program that was $2,000. Every step of the way I was confronted with my own beliefs about money. Every single time I didn t have it. At the beginning of that $10,000 program, I had $6 and no job. Something in me said, Wow! I ve identified a block in me. I m not going to play small anymore. I then said to myself, Okay, yes. I m going to take this program. I don t know how. What do I need to do? Where does the money need to come from? I got the money. It didn t just fall from out of the sky. I started taking steps. I ve heard it all,
I m on Social Security. I don t have a job. I want you to look at those beliefs. I want you to look at those thoughts. How much does that stop you from living life in general? What you ll notice is that it effects everything. It s literally running the show. I want to talk about a woman who s in the Living in Purpose Program now. She s incredible. She loved the 40 Day Program. She s never before seen the kind of support that s in the Facebook group. You don t have to be on Facebook to do the Living in Purpose Program, but it s an incredible place for encouragement, inspiration, and support. She really wanted to take Living in Purpose, but she didn t want to pay the money. She found another online program that costs less money and she got into that program. Within the first two weeks, she thought, Where s the support that I had from the 40 Day Program group? She was looking for the love that the 40 Day Program attracted. I have never seen the kind of people that this program attracts before. There is so much dedication, commitment, support, and love. She wanted that. So, she decided to put the money down. She s in the group now with all of the support that she needs. She said that it s the best money she s ever spent. I love to see when people break through their limitations and come to a place where they say, Okay. I m tired of playing small. I m ready. It can be a hugely powerful to have guidance. That s why I have teachers all of the time. I m always growing and expanding. I always want to know what my experience is going to be when I practice and apply. You re going to be practicing prayer, healing, and connecting with God. You re going to be encouraged to shift a lot of your routines. You re going to come into an experience where you see with Christ vision. You re going to experience yourself differently. You re literally going to see the world differently. When you see the world differently, it changes. You will also get monthly telephone conference calls for support and inspiration. We re going to offer online workshops too. You will have access to some webinars. We will record them so that they will be available if you can t be there live.
We are here to support people through their transformation. We want to help you go the whole way so that peace is your everyday experience and you re living in love. You will live in a whole new way. You ll see your problems disappear and your health issues begin to resolve. Everything starts to change. I ve always known this. I knew that this was true when I had the book. For 20 years I ve read this book. I don t know how many times I ve read it. Not much had changed. When I made a decision to practice these principles, everything changed. I invite you to read some testimonials and to go within to ask your heart. A big part of Living in Purpose is starting to work with your guide. Ask, Is this the right program for me? What are my next steps? Let me look at my fears around money. Let me be still. Then, make a decision from that place. We re here for you. We love you. This is a Great Awakening. We are taking this journey together. Thank you. I love you.
