I am a filmmaker… I am an inspirational filmmaker… I am an inspirational filmmaker in the making. Oh, how to begin this post.
I am a filmmaker. I am currently seeking the right people and the money to create an inspirational feature film.
About two years ago, I saw a girl on a city bus. Our car being repaired, I took the bus to work — which rarely happens. I sat quietly, observing people coming in and thinking about the day ahead, about their family, money problems, their ex they wish they hadn’t broken up with… I thought to myself “wow, I should take the bus more often, I see so much”. Then I noticed Abigail. The bus full and no more seats available, the teenage girl was standing near the front. She was inside herself, wondering why life was giving up on her, why she was in her body not being able to be happy. She didn’t look at one person in that bus, from fear of being judged or… from fear of meeting that one person who can tell her who she really is. How I wished at that moment I knew how to help her find her heart.
I took out a notebook and started writting about her. I wrote about how she finds herself, how she fulfills all her dreams. I wrote about the people she encounters on her path and how they help her discover who she is, how she falls in love with herself and her heart. I wrote about how she discovers happiness and how she is guided to her ultimate future.
Today, two years later, my notes have become a feature film script. I have fallen in love with Abigail and all the characters in her life, as they are all a part of me. They ARE me. The movie is me, not about my life — but who I am at every moment.
I know this film will be made and will be successful. Abigail will inspire people, teenagers especially, to follow their heart and their instincts. Every time I think about Abi and the movie, I am attracting the right people for this film — I feel it in my heart. An example — Jessica wrote a comment on my last post, inviting me to visit her myspace page and listen to her music. I cried when I heard the first note. She is the one. She will create the music for Abigail. I invite you to be mesmerized: http://www.myspace.com/jessicaleiathompson.
If you want to see this film, I invite you to comment on this post. The more people demonstrate interest, the more the right people will be attracted to be a part of it.
Much love,
Natasha

Feeling Guilty About Wanting to Make More Money? February 1, 2008

I was. But I worked on it.
What are your beliefs about money? Do you feel like you’re not good enough to have a lot? Do you fear you will be looked at differently if you have money? Do you feel greedy to want more money?
I could write a hundred pages listing limiting beliefs about money. The point is, all of them are limiting. In the sense that those beliefs that are engraved in our bodies are preventing us from moving forward financially. Either preventing us from making more money or actually keeping it!
After I watched The Secret, I started thinking positively about money. Yes! That’s how I can do it!! So I actually ended up making more money, but I couldn’t keep it. I still had zero dollars in my bank account at the end of each month, without even spending more. I didn’t understand why this was happening. For a few years, I had been sensing that I will have lots of money, when I say lots, I mean ‘LOTS’. I was feeling guilty about that, and the bank account wasn’t following my gut (go figure!). So I came to the conclusion that I was full of it and that maybe I’m just not meant to have lots of money. Then things went downhill even more (I obviously attracted that…). Not only did I have $0 in my account, but I was starting to get into debts too. “I need help” I told myself. When you ask, the Universe responds…
I had been wanting to get some ‘life coaching’ from an amazing coach for a while. He coached me for my career for about an hour or two and I wanted more… I couldn’t afford it. But after asking The Universe for help, he contacted me and offered to coach me in exchange for my creative services! YES! YES! Absolutely YES! Please coach me on money!
After just an hour of coaching, I realized so much and kept opening my eyes to so many things in the weeks after. I was feeling guilty about wanting to have more money, mostly because of my beliefs, but also because I didn’t really know what I would do with that money. I asked myself “what would I do with a million dollars?”… I didn’t have an answer. Actually, the answer was “I don’t know”. Then why would I need a million dollars?
I have been reading Neuro-linguistic Programming for Dummies. The tagline on the book is “Turn positive thoughts into positive action”. It’s a very good complement to The Secret. You can read more about NLP on Wikipedia. One of the suggested exercises is to write your obituary. Why obituary and not biography? Because a biography is about your life until the moment the text is written. The obituary is about your entire life, until your death. You want to look at the end result. So I wrote my obituary. I let myself go and was writing without judgement, whatever was coming out. Whoa. Was I ever surprised. I found out why I was sensing I am going to have a lot of money. I need it for my project. You see, my ultimate dream, my true passion is to guide people to realize their dreams, to follow their heart and their gut, on a really, really big scale.
Right now, the world is opening its eyes to new possibilities, bigger possibilities. The adults are just starting to learn about this. We need to teach this to kids, so they can grow up fulfilling their dreams, by doing that they will teach their children, and their children, and so on. Kids are learning all they need to know about math, language, physics, etc in schools. What about life? What about following your instincts? I want schools to coach children about this ‘new’ life. So that’s my ultimate goal.
In my obituary, I wrote not only about making inspiring films that are recognized worldwide and are helping the world believe in the ‘impossible’, but also about the ”Natasha Jetté Foundation” that implemented the “Strong Heart, Mind, and Soul” program in schools internationally.
I don’t feel guilty about having lots of money anymore.
Channelled Message - January 22, 2008 January 22, 2008

We are one in the Universe of God. What you think is reality in not reality at all. What you are living is part of a subconscious unity, where you are the creator of its destiny. Never forget that the one who loves you loves you forever, without conditions. You are the creator of your destiny. You might find that difficult to understand at first, but you will learn to accept it and will learn to manipulate your thoughts so that your destiny is the one you have been seeking. We are there to guide you. You can always ask for our help. If you do not hear our words with your ears, open up your heart to everything around you, for we not only speak to you, but we show you the path through signs. With an open heart, you will notice these signs. Trust them, for they are for you. Follow them for they will lead you in the right direction. Some signs may not make sense to you, but will come to make sense as you move along your path. Ask yourself “do I risk not following this sign?”, you will see that your heart will answer.The world is evolving to a higher level. You and all humankind are needed to help this evolution forward. You may have noticed the changes already: more people mention guides, channeling, spirits, … Movie productions are made specifically for this purpose: What the Bleep Do We Know?, The Secret, and many more. Some people who think they have control are afraid of these changes, they are afraid they are loosing control. They will create strong fears in the population to try and contain what they would call ‘damage’. Stay strong. Keep following your heart. Open your heart to bigger possibilities. Promote peace, love and harmony. Do not fight.Natasha has asked me many times why this new openness of the world? Why does the world need this evolution? Our souls have reached a new level of learning, the Earth realm needs to adapt to this new level. Think of yourself in elementary school, in sixth grade. You are about to have learned everything you need to learn about the basics. It’s time to move on to high school. It’s the same thing with Earth. The soil you live on was built as a learning ground. It evolves to meet the needs of our dimension, where you are from. You are learning at this very moment, by reading this message. This learning helps with your own soul’s evolution. Every minute, every second of your life impacts your soul’s evolution.
Are You Listening? December 20, 2007

Our minds are constantly flowing with thoughts. Actually, flowing might not be the best choice of words… Our minds are constantly bombarded by thoughts, thousands of them per day. You know what? We choose to be bombarded by thoughts. We choose to listen to our own thoughts, despite what they are. They are the source of our stress, anxiety, impatience, and also of our happiness and joy. They also make us distracted. When was the last time you truly listened to your friend telling you a story? Without thinking about the story you want to tell? Without thinking of what you need to be doing at that moment? Without thinking of what you should have done that morning?
As an actor, thanks to many great teachers, I learned that the number one crucial thing in acting is listening. To be present with another actor, to make it about him or her. When you listen, you allow the other’s words to hit you, creating a natural reaction, free of ego, that is mesmirizing to watch. This is a great technique. But, why aren’t we taught to apply that in our everyday life?
Constantly listening to our thoughts while another is speaking is actually a way to feed our ego and to hide who we truly are. And we are all guilty of that, including yours truly. That’s the way we are taught, to live with our egos — because that’s the way our parents were taught, and their parents, and so on. We all want to feel important, needed, knowledgeable, you name it. We think that the way to do that is to make sure our words our heard as soon as a split second of silence appears in a conversation. Instead of listening to what the other is saying, we end up listening for a slight moment where we can jump in, and concentrating on what we want to say so we don’t forget it. When we end up getting our ‘moment’, we blurt out our words, without realizing that the person standing in front of us is also not listening, because they found something else they want to say.
I have been practicing listening in my everyday life and I have had conversations where no words were spoken but were much, much more meaningful than ego-filled exchanges. You can discover so much more about another person and about yourself if you just let go and free your mind.
I dare you to try it today. To truly listen, you need to free your mind of your thoughts – ignore them basically. You need to concentrate on the other person, just make it about them, and don’t judge. Oh, and breathe… You’ll know why when you try it.
If it doesn’t work the first time, just keep trying. It takes practice. A great hockey player doesn’t make it to the NHL without having played for years.
Let me know how it goes.
