I have chosen to work with Stephen Gillen because I appreciate him in the totality of his being, and in his ceaseless desire to work on his self-development, to broaden his perspective, to deepen his understanding, to become the best example to others he can be, and to rise above and beyond the outdated subconscious conditioning that our global society is controlled by. This conditioning restricted him during the first decades of his life, but since he became aware of it, Stephen has always had the courage and the persistence to trust his own gut. In this way he sets himself apart from those who confine themselves to the thoughtless reiteration of their habitual behaviour without accomplishing anything of consequence.
My father used to say that one of the biggest mistakes is to be afraid of making mistakes. This fear keeps people from trusting their own decisions and learning and growing through their experiences. You can only gain genuine self-confidence when you wholeheartedly and unconditionally trust and follow your intuition. You might not gain instant approval from those around you, but you will make a genuine connection with who you are and who you are meant to be, and this will strengthen your resolve to pursue your life path with clarity and determination, eventually leading you to success in all your endeavours.
If you are familiar with my work, you will know that I define myself as a Venetian Revolutionary and a female Buddha. As a Venetian Revolutionary, I am driven by the realisation that in today’s world the only revolution is that of conscious awareness, and as a female Buddha, it is my mission to free the hearts and minds of my fellow humans from unnecessary and often painful illusions, because all human suffering is caused by ignorance. I am certain that humanity’s greatest achievement in the third millennium will be the abolition of mental slavery.
Stephen understands the importance of the ideas and values that I stand for. He knows that ignorance is the root cause of all human suffering and that we, individually and collectively, must be more focused on elevating our level of consciousness.
He is acutely aware of being part of the collective organism – something that many people are not consciously aware of – which is why he understands the importance of taking control of his subconscious conditioning.
In a world in which truth has become negotiable, Stephen is devoted to being truthful, and his paradigm is free from ambivalence and hypocrisy.
The Universal Principles of Success – Elevating Human Consciousness in the Third Millennium is the first in a series of annual conferences where entrepreneurs, politicians, public figures, scientists, thought leaders, change makers and leading experts gather to brainstorm ideas that lead us to raising our level of consciousness individually and collectively.
Unapologetically focused on the positive, we are going to explore ideas that can contribute to elevating human consciousness in the third millennium.
The path to elevating human consciousness is through beauty, creativity, art, music and science, as well as the achievements of innovators and visionaries of all kinds. What has been and is still holding people back from elevating their level of consciousness is the lack of interconnectedness between various disciplines.
