A Course in the Limitless Living Series by author, speaker and healer Jon Keppel
This work is the culmination of life work that I have been doing now for some time, intentional work to make my life as good as it can possibly be. I have learned from many different teachers. There are many shared themes arising from that work.
I share here openly and freely the themes which are helping me significantly and that I know will help you as well!
Where to begin is the question? Without going into my whole life story in this particular iteration of the work here, I want to say who you are is also what you are and that who and what you are is a limitless being of positivity and potential. Knowing this and reminding yourself of it every single day is the key to this work and what ultimately establishes a practice by which you can develop and expand by several orders of magnitude in beneficial ways.
I have a lot of resources set up for folks, but it is really the making of these resources that has propelled me into the present future that I have been experiencing that is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. I encourage you to consider that at some point in your journey it might be appropriate to create your own meditations and teachings from your life journey. We are all leaders in this world I feel. That glimpse into the ineffable that I have been capturing from the making of these resources can also be glimpsed in the practicing and embodiment of these practices as they are given. The real magic in the instruction is encoded in the studying and implementation of the practice as well. Delving into this limitless potential is what this course and ultimately this work is all about!
I welcome you to this leg of your journey for however long you will be spending it with this particular vision of the real that has been expressing itself through my own life and which I feel shares with many wisdom practices throughout the world in positive and benevolent ways. This is just one way to understand it all. Ways continue to be seen and followed and are apparently infinite in their depth and reach. There are many windows and doorways into that shared space within that we all emerge from and it bares repeating and keeping in mind that that is the case. No one person has a stronghold on what this world is about and no one ever will. That’s why you are here…to fill in the missing piece that no one no matter who they are could ever have imagined. You are unprecedented.
So let me share with you what I myself have found in my own journey such that you may utilize it in whatever way you feel serves you in your journey the best.
Let’s begin…
Here is a worksheet that you can use to explore mapping out your life with goals and aspirations. I have used it and found it to be very effective so far. You can orient it in any way you see fit I gather. My chosen way has been to start as it is presented here and place goals and a timeline that go from broad and general ideas in the current time period to more specific aspirational destination goals at the apex or vanishing point of the two lines coming together. Experiment and explore with this and see what you can come up with. Share with others your discoveries.

Lesson One
Transformation
I would like to talk to you about transformation. Transforming at a core level is always about becoming more of who you always already were and have been, not as the past of your personality but in your spirit, your soul. It is the act of letting through you all that is here to serve you. Every day we let this energy through consciously when we set the intention to expand. We unite with that limitless power that is in all things and become who it is that our vital gift decrees. I speak here in the way of letting go and letting God. Not an anthropomorphized male-like deity on a cloud but rather an all pervasive isness that is always already in all things, as all things expressing on a daily basis through the miraculous correspondence of subjective understanding with the objective expanse of the world. This transformation that erupts constructively and positively into the world is the limitlessness made manifest in a particular life. It is the Universe harnessing itself as us in these moments and lifetimes as a divine interaction amongst the particles of matter that make up the notes of an underlying music-like composition or creative flow that is beneath all that is emergent in time and space. Tapping into that realization, that ineffable made manifest is the truest becoming that there is in the course of everyday life. It is a subtle art that transpires sometimes over the course of a few seconds, sometimes days, weeks, months, or years, perhaps even for entire lifetimes. It is in divine time that such instances emerge, evolve, and are made manifest in the Earth school of understanding and being. Emergence in this way I learned from Derek Rydall. The nature of the Earth School in this way I learned from Gary Zukav. Infinite Potential in this way I learned from Deepok Chopra. But in all these cases I feel that it is the Universe itself seeking to understand itself better through us and that we are each a reflection of it. The goal as Zukav says is to align our soul with our personality. And allow as Rydall says the infinite organizing power of the Universe to be made manifest in our lives without limiting its potential with the limited concepts of our minds. Chopra also hints at this by describing how we are entangled with the Cosmos. We learn from many different people in this way. As the Universe is revealed we ourselves are revealed for at the core the Universe and ourselves is one solid energetic force for good and peace and love and right-minded being. We are made manifest in this understanding. It is good. It truly is good. And as we understand this, we appear on the stage of the infinite eternal. Our gateway which we ourselves become the constituents of as we pass through is love. That is the transformation. A shedding away. Love that is here and now and forever. God bless. Amen.
Here are some question for you to make use of in your own processing of this lesson. Feel free to journal about these and see what insights the process of writing out your thoughts yields for you.

Questions: What habits of mind or thought-forms could you let go of to allow even more of that which is here to serve you come through you and help give you clarity? What is transformation to you? What does it mean to you to let go and let God? How does that manifest in your life? How do you bring that in? Who are some of the people that you have found and learned from in your own life who have taught similar truths to these?

Lesson Two
Healing
I think it is true that we can only ever heal ourselves. It is not that we are always the agent of change that heals ourselves, but it is up to us to let the healing be done whether it is coming from ourselves or someone else. This is the love of the Universe after all. The love that pumps through all things, courses through all things, circuits through all things. When I write these talks I write them from an inspired place within myself that treats what I have to say like gold as is appears. It is about trusting that innate goodness that is within me which is also the Universe itself. Trusting in that is what these talks are about. If I have something to say I feel it, meaning the Universe can be interacted with by listening to the talk but also by listening to one’s Self. Ultimately, that is what must be done, a listening, an awareness and an openness to what is, to what is coming through be it through one’s own channel or another’s. It is all the Universe loving you in the end. And it is not worth it to get bogged down by semantics. Love is the energy in all things. It is the spark that makes the light glow all around. The spark in you is the spark in the Universe. Trusting that, that you are the Universe unfolding, that your thoughts and actions are a divine expression of that vast ocean of possibility that is all around that has the stars shining at unimaginable depths. I know that to know this is to heal at your fundamental core. We are a part of the life of the Universe and should certainly be a part of creating more and more life in our lives, however that can be done rightly and with joy and understanding and fellowship. Sometimes to heal means to take away your focus on that which you believe is the problem to align with that which is the powerful positive source of all goodness in your life that will shine brighter for your concentrating on it and allowing it to be existentially watered and nurtured and fueled and loved and cared for. Focus on the positivity that is within you. Nurture that. Allow for the nourishment of nature to flow through you existentially and flourish like never before in your life. This life will is wanting to express itself as you, for you, from you. Let it happen if you truly believe in yourself and life as one. Let it happen if you truly believe in what it is we call life. It takes your confidence to allow for what it is you truly need. Believe at a level that expands out beyond your faculties. Believe in a way that is beyond what appears to you. Feel the love in that knowing. Understand, bright shining the love.

Questions: Have you taken deep time to heal deeply in your life? Have you been putting yourself first, knowing the tyou cannot pour from an empty cup? Do you have practices in place such as journaling, meditation, prayer, visualization, affirmations and so on to help you with your healing? Do you have a friend that you can talk with or a family member or a professional? What is it that still needs healing in your life right now? Take some time to consider what this all may mean for you.

Lesson Three
Health
I would like to talk with you about mental health. Mental health is an opportunity to become one with Spirit. Spirit that is in you, as you, for you and from you in all that you do and say and are. That ineffable Love that is in all things around you and as you and through you. It is a whole body being-ness that radiates love out into the cosmos that can transcend the obscurations of the mind and complete the circuit of living in one’s own inimitable way. There is a health in healing and being whole with who it is you are at your very core. Sometimes it takes medication, sometimes it takes meditation but we can be who it is we truly are no matter what the circumstance and radiate the true understanding of our being in all that we do as we let the higher power of Love into our mind and heart and body and being. Love saves. Love truly saves. And we are this Love at our core. There is no denomination or sect or religion or philosophy that has a stronghold on Love. Love is everywhere in all things if we allow it into the surface of being. In the depths of our despair, we can count on this love if we let it count. It is an understanding that goes beyond our mental faculties and in all ways possible, makes sense to our supreme understanding if we just let it in. It is that infinite organizing power the makes the planets spin and the flowers bloom. It is always working in each of us as well as the many thoughts and feelings radiating out from within us. We are this supple and subtle coalescing of supreme forces for good emanating from the ineffable, what is currently captured by description of quantum reality and its threshold. We are this all-pervasive is-ness that rises up to see the light of day, to open its third and fourth and fifth eye and understand at a supra-level what needs be done and needs be imagined. Life is an art truly. We can each fall back on this artful way and ascend as we descend like a tree growing taller and brighter as its roots grow deeper and darker. This is life. This is the miracle of life made manifest. And health will have its say. Health will be manifested in all that we do if we let it in. If we just believe with our whole spirits that what is true is truly here within us, as us, for us. Be with that in your understanding and feel its deep and rich truth and power. This will heal you. This is you. You are healing itself. Healing itself is you. Godbless.
? >>>
Questions: In what ways do you practice health in your life? What are some healthy habits that you have set for yourself? How could you go deeper with these practices and call in an even deeper understanding and day to day practice that harnesses more effectively the infinite Love and healing power of the Universe that flows through us, as us for the life of being? What might you read that would be helpful? Who in your life thinks about these sorts of things? Who seems to resonate at this same frequency? What could you do to make your healing come to life and enact the health that is your divine right as the Youniverse itself?

Lesson Four
Love
Love is something that comes through you at a level that is beyond your imagining. It is something that is beyond the limited concepts of our minds and rises up through our being when we are open to it. In truth it is always there for us no matter what happens. It is just love. There is no other explanation for it. We care deeply about ourselves and each other as we let this super powerful force into our lives and let it flourish throughout our entire systems that we are and are a part of. This understanding and the practicing of it, the living of it is what life is about, truly. It takes a myriad of forms and formulations but at its core this is indeed what life is all about. And the more that you keep to that love that is within you at your deepest most profound state of being and level the more it emerges in your life, as your life, for your life, for it is for you. It is the power of the world. It is what is animating all that there is. And to touch base with it on a regular basis is to spark and re-spark that divine wisdom that is in all things, as all things. The deepest core is the deepest truth and also the farthest beyond. We are both this limitless within and farthest without as well. The more we remind ourselves of this Truth that is in all things the more it arises in and as our life. All in the end is one in this way and we experience bit by bit, day by day all that God, Life, Love, Energy, Spirit, Source has to offer us. We literally have it all within us as a fractal of the whole meaning that we are whole while being parts of a greater whole. Believe that. Trust that and you will see with your inner eye exactly what needs be. Exactly what needs to be in all ways possible. This is the Truth. And it is the best that we can achieve within the limits of a single lifetime. Trust in this and know that at your very core you are the Universe brimming over with excitement and joy and love and peace and prosperity and hope and care and ability and never ending awesomeness and ultimate understanding that sets the stars ablaze and your eyes a glow with the fire of life. You are this divine fire. Trust it. Know it. And move on.
? >>>
Questions: Consider journaling about this. What is Love to you? What does it mean to write the word Love with a capital “L”? Who in your life is loving? Where in your life do you give your love? Is there such a thing as Love that is beyond you? How do you call in or rather awaken to the Love that is always inside of you when you need it? How do you personally focus in on the Love in your life? What positive methods help you to do this kind of good work? How can you rightly learn more about and practice more Love in your life? What tools and resources do you already have available to you in your life?

Lesson Five
Soul
This message is from my soul to yours. As I let the flow of the Universe come through me and get out of my own way, a deeper and more profound sense of gratitude comes through and is very apparent. The negativity of the day is shed. It goes away completely. I let the pleasantly melodic and rhythmic tone and beat of the music that I have playing wash through my spirit, soul, mind and body and awaken to a place that is always inside of me, always here with me, that is realer than anything else. That silence, that space between the notes that all creativity emerges from, the silence and nothing from which an idea emerges into consciousness. Will it manifest? Perhaps. But that flow of ideas is the most vital thing of all, not a thing, that bed of knowledge and happenings flowing and churning and coalescing into energy that is in all things, as all things. We are this energy, this vital energy, these ideas, these imaginings. We are. Nothing else needs to be said. We simply are. Let it unfold. Let life unfold. Let yourself unfold. It is right.
? >>>
Questions: What if the word Soul was just another word for gratitude? What if at our core there is just an impulse to further generate the majesty of life in its most simplistic and supple form? What if we at our core heal by awakening to a space within that is a way for the breathing of the Universe to take place? How do you think of the word Soul? Do you capitalize it? What does it mean to have a soul or Soul?
Life Creation: Basics
Lesson Six
Connect
Connect with your deepest, most inner place to you. Really feel into that connection to a place that is beyond anything that you can imagine with the concepts of your mind and allow for that feeling to emanate from you in all ways possible. Feel it being revealed as it is generated and then radiated all around you. This feeling is the realest thing, not a thing, in your life. It is Source energy being made manifest in your realization of it, completely, wholly, Universally and now. If you can truly connect with this feeling within yourself, your Self with a capital S, you will find its power and potential in all that you do and say and are. It does not really need a name. It can go on simply being as the isness that it truly is. We can let the concepts go completely and with humility and grace allow for it to emerge in our life as the truly awesome power that it is, bringing us to wonder and marvel at the Universe as our very selves taking on the great expanse of our understanding and revealing, illuminating All with a capital “A” that is within us, as us, for us that is in all things and beyond. The Truth of our reality is whole. We are whole within it just the way we are, just as we are. This wholeness is pure and a holy, sacred beautiful somethingness that matters intrinsically and extensively throughout the reach of our life’s lights shining rays. Everything here and forever is alive with potential. You are this potential. This potential is you. Feel it. Feel it now right here within as all that you are is illuminated and brought forth in powerfully brilliant and beautiful ways. Alight in this.

Questions: You are enough! Realize that. Sometimes it is better not to question.

Lesson 7
Authentic Power After Gary Zukav
I think authentic power is exactly what we need now as Gary Zukav is sharing in his most recent book Universal Human. I feel like channeling Oprah here in telling of the power of books. I am a library worker, an avid, sometimes voracious reader and an author who feels connected to learning in a quasi-sacred way. I say quasi only because I think sacredness is beyond learning. It is something that we are. That truly is us. We can learn about it and it is revealed to us but the core essence of us truly simply is. Our simple goodness is what we each are after. I believe a love of learning must be buoyed by this isness, by this presence in us, as us for the most powerful, most potent, most positive expression of the intellect in service to that ineffable spirit or soul or presence that is in all things. To know this deeply is what gives us strength to contribute to the story of the world and life in meaningful ways.

Lesson 7 1/2
Repeat Lessons 1 thru 7 with an open mind.
On Love
Lesson One
On Love,
Self-Love is the most important thing that you can do. Accept yourself completely. I mean absolutely. With all of your foibles. Not judging and not trying to change anything. Just simply being all of who you innately are, by nature, by wholeness, by truth. That true being in your soul of Soul’s is who it is we all need to see to not only be alighted in the spirit of life but also to remind us of who we each are in our own uniqueness. Nothing serves us if it does not serve the unique person that we each are. Protect this fiercely! Give it all for this right here. Alight in this knowing and be who it is you truly are in life for that is how life itself unfolds. Without your unique spark this world is nothing.
ON Love
Lesson Two
On Love (Family)
Learn to love your family. Even if from afar. Not only within space and time but in the very nature of being. You may have been born close together. Perhaps not. But all is for the best when you can let them go to be. Let go. Let go of yourself. Let go of each other and allow for Love to shine through in all ways possible that is beyond the limited constructs of our minds. There is Love that is bigger than any one of us. Trust in that Love. Trust in that Love that is all around and all within.
On Love
Lesson Three
On Love (The Universe Within)
Love the Universe within you. Not as a task or because I say so or because you say so or because it says so but because It is so. Let that truth come through you in all ways right now and be released into the all that is within and as you right here now. Connect in a way with all that there is in a real sense. Connect by opening your eyes both within and on your face. You are this knowing happening all the time, outside of time and within. Keep the time like a water-rise like the opposite of a waterfall as the stream of love follows its own brevity into the consciousness of the Universe itself bubbling up out beyond the rigid constructs of the mind and into all eternal reality of the heart that is the very most center and the furthest beyond touching within and without.
On Love
Lesson Four
On Love (Trust)
Trust in what and who it is you are. You are. Do you know that? Do you really know that ? You are!
On Love
Lesson Five
On Love (How)
How do you know your love is real?
The Best Day of Your Life Training
Hi! What you have to understand is that there is only one day…today! The past and the future are not actual. Everything that we experience is happening in the now moment of pure awareness and consciousness. The more you can see this with your heart and head the more you will realize that you can make the choice as a matter of your mindset to have the greatest day of your life today! Today is the only day that you get so why not make it the very best day of your life ever?!?! The past is a memory, and the future is a projection. The now is the only real experience that we have. This will keep you from getting stuck in obsessive thoughts about the past whether because it was great or horrible or both! Also, it will keep you from worrying about the future and things that have not and very well may never come to pass! So, tap into this moment right here. Use this message as an opening to this understanding and really delve into the pure potential of awareness as it finds itself as you in this now moment. Your super Self, and your everyday self, become one and are aligned bringing the infinity of the without to a nexus point that joins the infinity of the within. This is living! This is the spark of life made manifest and experienced fully!
We want to explore and experience all that life has to offer. Get excited! Get into the know and the now. Feel into the awareness of the ever present within you and begin immediately to reap the benefits of being in the here and now. Every day through meditation, prayer, journaling and visualization (from whatever method suits you the most from whatever teacher speaks to you at this time in your heart) remind yourself that you are this living presence and that everything you have ever needed and will ever need is within you right this very moment and every moment as it manifests. You are this now moment that is the miracle! Trust this. Feel into it. Realize and remind yourself throughout the day silently to yourself that this is the best day of your life, every day truly no lies about it. This is the very best day of your life because it is quite simply and actually the only day that there ever is. Your choice to make it a great day takes the possibility of pure potential and actualizes it as a positive emanation and resonance into the realm of space time. This day is for you. It was made for you and you for it, to be real and be actualized in your most preferred state with Love and peace. Believe this. Trust this. And open into awareness of all that you truly are as life around you unfolds to reveal that holy, strongly passionate, beautiful being within you, that innate beautiful being within you that is the seed of life and the seed of this world, the seed of this cosmos and beyond. You are pure potential! You are awesome. You are here. You are now. You are. You. Are. Love
