An Interview With Bob Baran About Passion
The following is a transcript from a recent interview with Bob Baran where he discusses passion and the reasons why he created the Passion Unlocks Prosperity web site.
I'm here with Bob Baran discussing why he would create a website about finding and following your passion...
Bob, what compelled you to create Passion Unlocks Prosperity series of articles?
The simple answer is that there are way too many unhappy people who feel powerless to change their lives...
I've been able to change the direction and outcome of my life time and time again. There was one overriding catalyst each time I went through one of these life altering changes...The first positive step always began with passion.
So, you have always lived a life of passion?
Absolutely not! I've had times when I felt empty, depressed and powerless to change anything...You know, burned-out!
Then what caused the turn-around?
It always started with the realization that something was wrong. It's funny how you sometimes don't recognize you are slowly falling into a funk. Then one day you wake up and you don't care about anything, you're tired all the time, you're bored...
What triggered your realization?
Something inside made me feel real empty and that feeling made me very uneasy. You could say it was some kind of inner wake up call ...Which finally got my attention.
You didn't pay attention to it right away?
No, I would avoid it. I would find something to do to take my attention off of what I was feeling. The problem was that whatever I did wasn't changing how I felt. After it was all said and done I was still feeling like something was missing in my life.
But something must have happened to cause your passion to be rekindled?
Yeah, and it was usually something really obvious: Like remembering what my dreams were and that this was as good a time as any to throw myself into them...
What would happen then?
I guess that no matter how down I was or how bad things had gotten for me I would come to the realization that I could make something happen if I would just get to that "place" inside where I knew everything was going to work out.
Place inside?
Yeah, it's almost like a switch you flip! Once you've done that you begin to go through an amazing transformation.You literally become infused with energy and seem to know what needs to be done and how to do it. I call it "knowingness".
So this is passion?
No, this is the other side of passion, inspiration. They are very similar but I think passion is the earliest signal you get from your inner-self that you are moving in the right direction ...Passion kind of morphs over time into inspiration which sustains you right through the completion of whatever it is you set out to do.
How do you apply this to passion-unlocks-prosperity.com or intentionalprosperity.com?
After seeing this pattern happen to me time and time again, over a period of thirty plus years, I came to realize that this experience I was having had to be universal....We all pretty much go through the same thing.
Universal?
Everybody experiences some form of this at some time. I believe everyone has these ups and downs in their lives. Unfortunately more and more people are getting lost in the "downs" and don't remember how it feels to be living in an "up" part of life.
They literally forget how to feel passion and believe that the emptiness they feel is normal...And believe me, it's not normal at all...In fact, it is an abnormal state for a human to be living in...With terrible consequences!
Like what?
Well, like a loss of desire to experience new things...New ideas, meet new people. Then you have these physical maladies and diseases ...Because you are not vibrating with positive energy, you lose your vitality and it lowers your resistance...
You end up feeling like your life is spinning out of control and you have no power to stop it...You have no power because you don't have any energy! So you become more and more passive...Not confronting those things in your life which you know you should ....I think this systematic compromise on what you know deep inside is your truth, has a direct affect on your mental and physical health.
What purpose did you have for building these web sites?
Two reasons really. I wanted to make available what I have learned about the power of passion. How to find it and how to follow it. Most people have no idea that the real secret to prosperity and abundance is doing what you love.
The second reason has to with introducing people to the "The Intentional Prosperity™ System". I thought If I put together a web site with really valuable information about finding your passion and doing what you love it would give me a chance to connect with people who would recognize that I'm the real deal. I am someone who's been around the block, made mistakes and figured out how things really work...My life and what I've accomplished is proof of that.
How things really work according to Bob Baran?
Obviously this is my personal belief. Life is not at all like most of us were brought up to believe. Our mind is an organic transformer for the most powerful source of energy in the universe. I call it the Quantum Force...But our culture and belief systems cut us off from utilizing the very thing our DNA has hard-wired us to be able to do.
So we live out our lives at a fraction of our true potential...And I'm not just talking about prosperity and abundance here. I'm talking about our true potential as humans being able to access the Quantum Force and co-create with it...
You know, actually being able to see first hand how this power manifests your dreams and desires! We are only scratching the surface as to what this ability really means ...There's no limit to what is possible once you wrap your mind around the process of "Intentional Prosperity™".
So, Bob, you believe the mind was created as a transformer for this Quantum Force energy?
I go into great detail in "Intentional Prosperity™" about what the Quantum Force is and what our relationship is with it. For years science has been telling us that we may only be using five or ten percent of our brain. Well, guess what?
It's the other 90 percent that is just waiting for us to understand what it does and how to implement it...Look, the architecture of our brain and mind is already in place and it always has been. In fact, we've been utilizing it all along, but only a small fraction because we didn't understand the dual nature of our mind and the dual nature of the Quantum Force.
"The Intentional Prosperity™ System" that you authored explains the dual nature of the Quantum Force?
I describe exactly how the First Nature of the Quantum Force and the Second Nature of the Quantum Force works and what you have to do in order to access it. I believe I have broken new ground with this understanding because it finally answers a lot of questions...
What kind of questions?
Basic stuff, like why there are unexpected consequences. Why things will sometimes turn out better than you ever expected. Why people live in poverty. Why other people live a charmed life... Why most of us feel that something is missing in our lives...
You see, understanding the Quantum Force brings things into focus and you begin to see that we humans as a species are literally sleepwalking through life! We are on autopilot and we had little to say about planning the trip! "The Intentional Prosperity™ System" shows you how to take back your life!
What do you believe the Quantum Force has to do with passion?
Passion is how the Quantum Force signals you that you are on a path which will bring you back to your genuine self and a greater ability to access the Quantum Force.
So the Passion Unlocks Prosperity web site is actually an introduction to "Intentional Prosperity™"...
Yes! Finding your passion is the first step. This way you can see for yourself through your own personal experience that what I am saying about passion is indeed valid.
I recognize that the information I have on the web site as well as in "The Intentional Prosperity™ System" is not for everybody ...Some people will never be able to understand that they really are in control of their lives ...They don't want to hear that. It's easier to blame other people and other things for their problems and unhappiness.
I believe that those individuals who are searching for passion in their lives will find this web site and get some of the answers they have been looking for. I know we'll find each other...It's just a matter of time.
Bob Baran, thank you for your time and for explaining about your web sites and "The Intentional Prosperity™ System".
