(r)evolutionary copywriting is NOT about selling, it’s about…

copywriting, entrepreneur, evolutionary, new paradigm, traditional copywriting

Attempts to influence the sale are so tired. And they’re losing their effectiveness.

Whether you write your own marketing content or you hire a pro, it’s important to understand how the industries of copywriting and marketing are changing to incorporate spiritual writing principles that work.

Traditional copywriting and marketing methods include subtle (and not-so-subtle) manipulation, and calculated pain-accentuation targeted to the ego (which is always looking for ways to be pain- and care-free). They also address the more fragile aspects of the mainstream personality with an emphasis on limit, lack or keeping pace with others.

Take a moment to reread and feel that last paragraph. How does it feel? As a consumer, do you prefer to be on the receiving end of marketing efforts that contain such a low vibration that it may not even be measurable? Probably not. And, if you don’t want to feel this, why would you inflict this on your beloved customers and clients? The fact is: you wouldn’t and I’ll tell you what you can do differently RIGHT NOW to model New Age business practices.

It’s called by many names: spiritual copywriting, heart-based copywriting, conscious copywriting, evolutionary copywriting, revolutionary copywriting, etc.

The new copywriting approach touts
service, not selling;
an invitation, not a manipulation

As a business owner it is your job to write about what you do with an emphasis on service, ending with an integrity-based invitation. Your readers will know if your offer is right for them. You don’t need to convince anyone of any thing. You’re not in the business of selling. That’s too hard, it’s unnecessary and it doesn’t even work.

When you consciously place yourself in service, your copy takes on a new, higher vibration. It attracts the perfect customers who are ready and happy to pay you for your offerings. There is a true connection. There is resonance. There is the basis of a mutually-beneficial long term relationship.

So, what can you do right now to shift into the serving/invitation heartset (vs. mindset)?

Action item #1: Before you write your copy, get out of the selling mindset. In fact, get out of your mind altogether. Divine copy doesn’t come from your left brain. It comes quite naturally by being a willing conduit of service to humanity via your business. When you access your inner spiritual copywriter via Divine flow, you’ll be amazed at what comes through you.

Action item #2: Remember, you’re not trying to convince anyone of any thing. Before you begin writing, ask yourself:

  • How would I write about my products or services if I weren’t trying to convince (sell)?
  • What language (specific words) would I use to serve (instead of sell)?
  • What would I want my readers to feel as they read my offer(s)?

These two action items activate a new writing style; one that’s way more effective and memorable than being the one who accentuated fear, pain and lack. Oh, they’ll remember you if you implement these old-paradigm tactics, but it won’t be a pleasant memory. You want to leave a positive impression. And with heart- and service-based copywriting, you will.

service + invitation = new paradigm business solutions

*****

(Stay tuned for next week’s feature about faking spiritual writing principles. You don’t want to miss this. HINT: a Divine mechanism is in place to make ‘faking it’ impossible! Until then, be blessed and be well.)

The ‘Aligned Female’ Shape-Shifts Business Based on Innate Feminine Gifts

22 Wednesday Jun 2016

entrepreneur, new paradigm

Entrepreneurship is shifting dramatically and the aligned female influence cannot be ignored. The feminine:

  • brings a sense of community to business
  • is cooperative because we know that is the road to thriving
  • achieves results by nurturing others
  • wants all members of our tribe to succeed
  • encourages others
  • challenges others with love
  • champions others with kind accountability methods
  • celebrates milestones and goal attainment

There is no doubt—with the shifting business paradigm in full swing—women have made a powerful impression and will continue to do so. Our innate gifts as birthers of new ideology will change the face of entrepreneurship so much that soon the old façade won’t be recognizable; don’t you see aspects of it already? It’s the dawning of a new age and as business owners, we’re the luminaries.

Allowing intuition, spirituality and pure intent to guide us, we’re in a very powerful position to creative positive and lasting change. The way business is conducted will never be the same.

Now, let’s return to the reference of ‘aligned female’ and elaborate for the fullest understanding.

Being born female (a gender identification) does not an empowered woman make!

It’s vital to understand that being strong, allowing the feminine divine to be honored in our words, thoughts and actions, referring to ourselves as “conscious,” embracing our roles as leaders and visionaries, and intentionally creating our lives, is a journey… the journey of a lifetime.

The aligned woman is so much more than female. She:

  • has a vested interest in bringing her best to everything she does
  • willingly surrenders her plan to the wisdom of the Universe, when it’s appropriate for her to do so
  • commits on every level to the ever-unfolding process of life
  • pushes on with courage, no matter how hard the task
  • walks with herself, if necessary, so as not to dilute her efforts and energy with anything/anyone that might take her off-course
  • graciously serves others in accordance with her inner wisdom guiding her to choose if, when, and how to use her innate talents and gifts
  • models integrity because it’s the core of who she is and how she conducts the business of her life
  • celebrates her unique talents—removing all hindrances to shining brilliantly—because she understands this world benefits from her exceptional contribution
  • is bold in her approach to life because there’s no value in standing for nothing
  • accepts herself as-is, always

Modeling empowered divine femininity has many rewards and it also comprises great responsibility; to whom much is given, much is required. Wielding power with benevolence requires a solid understanding that true power never attempts to manipulate, dominate or control (or even influence or persuade); only insecurity behaves that way. We are actively defining the future of business with our actions. We are creating something dynamically different.

What is your unique role in this shift and what are the innate gifts you bring to business as an ‘aligned female’?

a women’s credo

free to be, freedom, metamorphosis, new paradigm, transformation, truth

Our words, thoughts, actions and beliefs are a unified proclamation of these truths:

We do not apologize for being born female, for there is an inherent sacredness in the chromosomal structure of XX.

We do not apologize for being innately bold, wise and powerful, for this combination, anchored with feminine attributes, is required now to lead this planet to peace and prosperity.

We do not apologize for our emotions, our desires, our strengths, for those, too, will lead us into the New Age.

We do not apologize when you don’t agree with our perceptions, intuitions, or findings, for our experience is not defined by yours.

We do not apologize for the things that move us, stir us, or shake us to the core, for all of these experiences ignite even more greatness within us.

We do not apologize for sharing our truth, even in the face of criticism, judgment or brutality, for we understand that ultimately we are accountable to a Higher authority.

We do not apologize for delicately and intentionally infusing the most powerful element in the multi-verses — L*O*V*E — into the invisible matrix of the planet, for we know that by doing so, we are surely shifting Her vibration so She can provide abundantly for every being and creature, while thriving Herself.

wo*man*ifesto for The New Age

change, evolutionary, new paradigm, relationship, spiritual, transformation

Feminism as a force or intensity has to disrupt all officially charted maps – it calls for the remapping of relationships. Everything has to be called into question. Including the possibility of love. This is a big, ambitious, crucial project that breaks with what is traditional or ossified. ~ Avital Ronell (1952-)

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

A utopian model of connection doesn’t currently exist on Earth with any prominence. Yes, there are a few exceptions, and they serve a valuable purpose as we embrace an expansive notion of connection, but there are many more levels on which we can connect than we ever imagined. Hundreds. Thousands, even.

To use words like relationship or friendship doesn’t begin to come close to what I envision; what I know about connection anchored in the deepest recesses of an ancient certainty of how things were always intended to be. Unfortunately, the words relationship and friendship are tainted; permanently damaged; infused with fragmentation due to millennia of misunderstanding, misuse and misapplication. As-is, they do not accurately describe the depth and multi-dimensionality of what is possible for us.

On a daily basis, I am gifted with downloads of new paradigm connection felt-sense; that subtle, not-yet-anchored energy of where we are headed individually and as a collective. I am completely groping in-the-dark and yet something drives me to explore this further.

It’s not easy to describe, but these current downloads are refinements of what has always been my waking guiding wisdom of connection based on my celestial origins. My sense of connection is very different from those of the society into which I was born. As such, this Earth-plane adventure has often been a confusing experience. The constructs of relationship and friendship here make no sense to my highly-sensitive nature. Expectation, jealousy, defensiveness, competition, cruelty, imposition, egoic agenda, judgement, protectiveness, punishment… yes, these are some of the worst aspects of human interaction, but they make my point.

There are so many rules. Rules confuse me. Dogma confuses me. Maybe you feel the same. Rules and dogma eliminate any chance for real connection. In fact, they can actually prevent it. Keep this in mind: the combination of rules + dogma never provided an opportunity for true, authentic, open-hearted engagement. So, what is the magical element of real connection?

In sharp contrast to current societal convention, rules and dogma…

where I come from
L*O*V*E
is the only experience and expression.

It is absolute and unconditional.
It is all-encompassing.
It is comforting.
It is vast and abundant.
Souls are fully-present,
wholly accessible,
and emanate the bounty that is love.

How lovely to even imagine that high vibration wafting onto this Earth plane to gently replace what now exists. (Before continuing, take a moment to close your eyes and fuel this image with your thoughts, if it resonates for you. As you know, thoughts become tangibles.)

As I have explored both personal and professional New Age connections and the elements that best represent them, I was inspired this week to develop a manifesto. The official definition of manifesto is:

man·i·fes·to [man-uh-fes-toh]
noun, plural man·i·fes·toes
a public declaration of intentions, opinions, objectives, or motives,
as one issued by a government, sovereign, or organization.

As it relates to Golden Age connections (if it’s easier for you, just think of what we currently term friendship or relationship), the term — wo*man*ifesto — is an energetic encapsulation of our intent as soulful beings to co-create and simultaneously experience new ways of connecting, based in pure, incorruptible love. These exciting new ways are not based in conventional constructs, for those have served their purpose and are being transformed into higher vibrational constructs of limitless form. Pretty cool, huh?

By using the term wo*man*ifesto, I am not specifically outlining relationships between women and men, for our future holds many different configurations. Instead, the term is a pact, of sorts, that women and men adopt to demonstrate their commitment to consciously move into a more full, dynamic experience.

My desired connection wo*man*ifesto looks like this:

Over-arching elements

  • This template is universal, meaning all of these (following) points are essential to any connection. The degree or depth will vary (is it a romantic connection? a friendly connection? a casual connection? a passing connection?), but whether or not these elements are present is never in question.
  • By its very nature, the caliber of this connection (the one right in front of you) requires you to step forward into your fullness; to explore yourself on a deeper level than ever before. You may feel exposed, uncomfortable, uncertain, and/or ill-prepared OR blissful, excited, happy, and more free than ever.

Characteristics

  • I feel free to be myself. You are free to be yourself.
  • I am open and willing to express myself honestly and fully, even if I think you might disagree with or dislike my expression. It’s more important to always be myself.
  • I am receptive to your authentic, honest and open expressions, even — or especially — when I disagree or dislike your expression. It’s more important to always be yourself.
  • We continually challenge ourselves to look beyond our own needs, wants, desires, preferences to consider: What can I say/do to contribute to his/her happiness? How can I validate him/her? What does s/he need from me in this moment and how can I accommodate her/him? Etc.

Communication

  • We speak openly about any issues that come up, determine a mutually-beneficial solution, and move on.
  • We discuss matters respectfully, while reserving the right to express in our own way.
  • We confront communication challenges as a united team. There is only one side: us.
  • We talk about issues that matter to us as individuals, because it is essential to our own well-being to do so within the framework of a safe environment.
  • We don’t assume the other person is better off not knowing what we’re thinking/feeling/experiencing. We let them decide for themselves by sharing pertinent information/the facts based on the truth of our authentic thoughts/feelings/experiences.
  • We are each equally willing to initiate vulnerable discussions, when necessary, in an effort to build greater intimacy and mutual trust.
  • When we need/want something, we ask for it with open communication.

Tangible intimacy

  • We understand that intimacy takes many forms, but is anchored by tangible expressions including words and actions.

Activities

  • We spend time together doing activities that invoke play, lightheartedness, fun, creativity, expansion, and intimacy.
  • All shared activities are opportunities to expand our sense of self in the safety of a trusted connection.

Equally-vested

  • We each agree that investing in our connection requires time, attention, patience, understanding, and ongoing navigation.
  • We make our connection a priority when we are together.
  • When together, we do our utmost to be and give the best of ourselves, but we know the most important thing always is to be our most authentic selves, and to support the other in being and becoming more of their authentic self.
  • We are accountable to each other and ourselves for creating a mutually-healthy and mutually-beneficial connection.
  • We invest equally to THIS connection to maximize the benefit for both. Neither invests more than the other. Neither does either take more from the connection than they invest.
  • We each understand that we use this connection as a catalyst for our individual growth while attending to, nourishing, and supporting the other.
  • Every exchange of THIS connection is an opportunity to build more trust, safety and intimacy in THIS connection. That naturally emanates into the world without effort.
  • We have confidence in our co-llaboration. We know that with cooperation and objectivity, together we can figure out and navigate anything.

Miscellaneous

  • I am a catalyst for your limitless unfolding, however that naturally flows. You are the same for me.
  • I am a safe haven to play and explore anything/everything. You are the same for me.
  • Even though we have done our individual work, there is only so much we can accomplish on our own. I want to stretch myself with a fuller experience that can only be facilitated by another person. You provide the same for me.
  • We don’t put energy into posing/positioning so the other won’t be disappointed in us. Disappointment — or the possibility of it — doesn’t even exist here, so we are completely free to be ourselves.
  • Although we have connections with others with varying constructs, we do not hide those connections or keep them secret from our connection. They are not the focus of our attention, but neither are they treated as if they don’t exist.
  • We tolerate no “elephants in the room.” We address issues immediately, agree on solutions that benefit both parties, and move on.
  • We keep no secrets. When we become uncomfortable in our silence, we illuminate truth by talking openly.
  • We co-create as we go along, knowing we can never map-out everything, for in trying to do so, we may miss spontaneous moments of delicious surprise along the way.
  • We understand the power of actually creating what we want this connection to be instead of thinking about it as something that already exists that we are simply experiencing… like some mapped-out life plan decided by someone else.
  • Each in our own ways, we master our power-to-create to enliven and enrich this connection.
  • We value the connection by keeping the other abreast of what is happening in our inner world.

This is an uncharted exploration. I don’t know what lies ahead. No one does. However, you are invited to embark without exactly knowing your destination or what will happen along the way. Can we set some parameters for mutual understanding as we set out? Sure. That’s what this wo*man*ifesto is… a starting place; a way to get the conversation started; a few concrete ideas and actions anchored in so we can actually live new love, for that’s all connection is: a way to love others.

Now that I’ve created a template, what are your ideal aspects of new connection? What would you add to your personal wo*man*ifesto?

Truth-Telling: an essential new-paradigm skill

25 Wednesday May 2016

Posted by charlon bobo in conscious living

≈ 5 Comments

Tags

2012, ascension, be, free to be, luminary, new paradigm, spiritual, truth

New-paradigm Truth-Telling (yes, with two capital T’s because it’s that important) is a refined spirit-based expression comprised of:

  • an energetic, encoded vibration
  • inspired, spoken words to facilitate the greatest benefit for all parties directly involved in your current earthly circumstance (micro), and for the entire collective of humanity (macro)

Yeah, it’s a pretty big deal.

Truth-Telling: a sacred skill

Truth-Tellers are committed to shedding light; that is all. Truth-Telling is not about ego, opinion, agenda or reaction. The act of Truth-Telling contains the pure, high vibration of Light. Truth-Telling is infused — and delivered with — compassion.

For Truth-Tellers, this expression is an extension of our very (G*d) being. It isn’t something we “do.” It is a necessary skill that’s coming to the fore for many light workers. We feel it as a “calling” and it becomes more prominent as we exercise and Master this new spiritual muscle. There is great responsibility for the Truth-Teller. S/he must be ready and able to set aside the entirety of the self to serve the greater Universal unfolding/agenda.

Truth-Tellers deliver eloquent messages often before they think, for thought is not a part of this process. Their message emanates exclusively from the heart. They speak from conviction about matters of protection for those who cannot protect themselves, Universal love, and innovative ways of navigating all aspects of this incredible evolutionary process.

Truth-Teller or not… how do I tell?

If making others accountable based on your standards and personal agenda is your M.O. and/or you enjoy the feeling of power that accompanies it, YOU ARE NOT a Truth-Teller. You are wounded and trying to feel better by focusing on the frailties of others instead of doing the hard work of healing yourself. Truth-Tellers have no agenda save for illumination.

Truth and consequences

As a Truth-Teller, you will be loved and despised. Guaranteed. For the most part, people are very uncomfortable with accountability, especially if they perceive you as the person “making” them accountable. Oooooh, they hate that! Our very presence seems to antagonize those who have the most to hide. People scatter when they see us coming… if not physically, then certainly energetically. Truth-teller… it isn’t a popular role. And not recommended as a career choice. Depending on your perspective, the good news/bad news is that you may find yourself with a lot more self-time as you tell more Truth! Which allows you even more time to refine this sacred skill.

This skill is a new-paradigm necessity. For too long have shrouded veils, deceit, control, domination and manipulation been active. It’s the dawn of a new day, baby, and the name of this day is TRUTH.

I clearly see these times as a point-of-delineation between those who are ready right now to step up + speak up, and those who aren’t; no judgment here, just an observation. Those who are ready to step up into the role of Truth-Teller are finding it impossible to remain silent any longer. They calmly yet passionately speak out in ways that may be uncharacteristic of them… until now. That is all changing.

For those who have ears+hearts to hear, it is a warm, welcome message; one they’ve soulfully waited for for millenia. For those who don’t have ears+hearts to hear, well, Truth-Tellers are an annoyance at best and fuel a fuming rage at worst. But none of that matters when you’re a Truth-Teller. I know you know what I mean. [insert BIG smile of solidarity here]
