Dedication

This book is published as I celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of my birth. As I reflect on the first

half century of my life I am overwhelmed with Joy and Love for the many souls

who have assisted me in my journey, whether you know me as Candy, Pauline or Victoria. Some

of you taught me to laugh, some of you taught me to cry. All of you taught me some small or

not-so-small lesson of life. I am privileged to share this life journey with you all.

Love and Thanks to,

My dad, Paul Bradshaw,

My brothers—Brad, Wayne, Barry and Rodney.

A very special thanks to my mom, Rosalind Price Bradshaw who not only gave me life but

continues to give me LIFE even now.

And to Addam and Deven who have eaten way too much fast food while I finish this project—

but when you consider my cooking talents you’re not complaining are you?

Acknowledgement

In the pages that follow you will be introduced to a new paradigm of how life works, both on and

off the job. This book is my interpretation of the works of Thomas Michael Powell, a modern-

day philosopher. At this time this philosopher is not widely known, but I suspect that this will

change as more and more people discover the transformative power of his teachings. At the heart

of these teachings is the codification of the universal laws of Wisdom, Power, and Value. I

learned that life is a polarity; true personal power comes from understanding that all of experi-

ence is both positive and negative. Our inability to effectively manage our internal negative

energies is the only cause of unhappiness in life.

I was introduced to this new paradigm in the spring of 2003. In the absence of available

reading materials (at that time) and seminars, I was fortunate to participate in a mentor/student

relationship with Thomas. Once I began to apply these universal principles I created a life of

happiness, serenity, and abundance. I see life and everyone I meet as a grand adventure. I am

working to create the life of my dreams—a life of joy and freedom.

My heartfelt thanks to you, Thomas, for your significant and generous contribution to

this book, but of greater importance, for all you have given to humanity.
Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start

with what they know. Build with what they have. The best

of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accom-

plished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.

—Lao Tzu

Introduction

In this age of road rage, and now desk rage, if you are employed,

your safety is at risk. As stress levels escalate, employees are increasingly

fueled by anger, resentment, pessimism, frustration, anxiety, distrust, and

other negative emotions. As a manager employed by a major telecommu-

nications company, I am no stranger to workplace violence. Some years

ago a disgruntled employee with a history of instability called the office to

report his intention to kill a manager.

While law officials and company security worked to apprehend the

employee, all managers on site were confined to a darkened conference

room with shades drawn for our own safety. In this case, police were able

to locate the employee before he took action. He explained that he was


2 Victoria C. DePaul

angry and didn’t know how to vent his frustration. That same year our

office was subject to bomb threats, employee breakdowns, out of control

absenteeism, extensive turnover rates, and an overall climate of chaos.

The term “desk rage” coined some years ago refers to a growing

phenomenon of unstable, unpredictable, and explosive behaviors occur-

ring in the workplace. While cases of extreme workplace hostility and

violence are likely to receive widespread news coverage, less extreme, yet

just as severe incidents of aggression, rebellion, and conflict are common-

place. If you hold a leadership or supervisory position, your challenges are

twofold: attempting to meet increasing production and service demands

and, at the same time, coping with a workforce increasingly incapable to

support these demands.

Most people, at all ranks and levels of an organization, spend

more than half of their waking life at work. The anxiety that employees

experience in the workplace added to the stresses that they encounter

away from the job result in a severely diminished workforce. The result is

that organizations experience a major loss of productivity, ineffective

communications, and increased job dissatisfaction. All of this translates to

increased expenditures in the form of tardiness, absenteeism, high turn-


Creating the Intrapreneur 3

over rates, high employee training costs, and equipment neglect and

failures. Further, overall poor performance continues to reduce profit

margins even more. Take a look at the following list to see if your organi-

zation has any of these symptoms:

Emotional reactivity between employees

Flare-ups of anger, hostility, exchanges of insults

Interpersonal aversions, resistances, and conflicts

Arguments, quarreling, and disputes that result in strained re-

lationships

Jealousies, power and turf struggles, infighting, and backbiting

♦ Ego: A person acting like they are better than oth-

ers, using overt or subtle put-downs of others

♦ Dictator mentality: Someone preaching to others

how they should BE

♦ Victim mentality: “Everybody is picking on me;

everybody is against me—especially management”


4 Victoria C. DePaul

♦ Poor leadership, due either to ignorance or per-

sonality problems (like ego or dictator)

♦ Reduced, slowed, withheld, and lost communica-

tions

♦ Low morale and motivation, indifference, and

lethargy

♦ Negative attitudes toward management or the or-

ganization

♦ Reduced responsibility and initiative: “I am not re-

sponsible for anything; I just work here”

♦ Reduced creativity and initiative

♦ Indifference to the mission and goals of the or-

ganization

♦ Poor compliance with safety and corporate policies

♦ Misordered priorities

♦ Tardiness and absenteeism

♦ Gossip and rumors

♦ Insecurity, lack of trust and confidence, and fear

♦ Feelings of powerlessness, hopelessness


Creating the Intrapreneur 5

♦ Lack of cooperation and support between people

and departments

♦ Resentments, retaliations, and revenge

♦ Resistance, rebellion, and sabotage

♦ Mistakes, omissions, and errors, all leading to

breakdowns

♦ Poor job satisfaction

♦ Low personnel retention, high general turnover

♦ Loss of your best people due to the negative en-

ergy climate of the workplace

♦ Loss of customers due to poor customer service

In short, chaos in your organization resulting in poor departmental

and overall performance, poor production, and therefore increased

expenditures leading to reduced profits

The above symptoms are classic in the workplace. Think of the

above list as “Symptoms of a Dysfunctional Organization.” If your

organization is experiencing any of the symptoms above, your organiza-

tion is not performing at peak levels. For almost twenty-four years I

worked in the telecommunications industry, in what was known as the


6 Victoria C. DePaul

Bell System. Anyone who is familiar with the former Bell System knows

that it was the end result of several regional and nation-wide company

mergers. I began my career with a regional Bell Company as a service

representative in customer service. Through hard work, and some might

say hard luck, I was promoted within three years of hire.

Ah, those were the good ole days. Or were they? Exactly how effi-

cient was the organization? Recall our list of “Symptoms of a Dysfunc-

tional Organization.” Every item on that list comes from personal

experience and observation from my management years. As supervisors

and managers in the 1980s, our primary duty was to remind employees

that, “You don’t have to work here. You get to work here.” We lived and

worked in a climate of “Shape Up or Ship Out.”

Everything was black and white with absolutely no gray areas.

Those who called out sick with terminal cancer were disciplined according

to the same process as those out sick with a cold—interesting for a

company that boasted unlimited paid sick days. Yes, if you were ill you

could call in for a sick day but the consequences for doing so were severe,

often leading to harassment and micromanagement. I always found it

curious, however, that even with such stringent controls, absenteeism and
Creating the Intrapreneur 7

tardiness have been and continue to be an issue for management. Even

more curious, these acts were usually performed by repeat offenders.

For the most part, managers were taught, by example, to be work-

place bullies, myself included. As workplace bullies we managed by

intimidation, threats, public humiliation, and at times outright hostility. Of

course this behavior wasn’t taught in management or leadership training,

nor was it overtly encouraged.

So if these behaviors were not condoned, why did they persist?

Why does this management tactic still flourish in our businesses and

corporations today?

In response, I suggest the following:

1. Managers do not know another style.

2. Business leaders are interested in the short-term end result, not

the path to get there.

3. Managers and supervisors receive passive rewards for their aggres-

sive behavior with bonuses, increased salaries, compensation time,

and other benefits.


8 Victoria C. DePaul

4. Leaders, managers, and supervisors do not understand what really

motivates people to operate at peak potential.

Let’s consider each of these points.

1. Managers do not know another style.

If you are a manager or supervisor, consider your own manage-

ment style. Where does it come from? For those promoted from the ranks

as I was, often we mirror the behaviors and actions of our own managers

and supervisors. Chances are, if you were promoted based on positive

results in your non-management position, little or no attention was paid to

whether you had the skills necessary to be an effective manager or leader.

The Peter Principle could be at work here: you were very good at

what you did and so were promoted into a higher position and level of

responsibility. However, newly promoted managers often do not have or

receive adequate training for the entirely different responsibilities of the

new position, and so are, in effect, promoted into a condition of incompe-

tence.

If you were hired through a college recruitment process, certainly

you come to the organization with the benefits of your formal education.
Creating the Intrapreneur 9

But that education did not necessarily include training, much less experi-

ence, in negotiation and interpersonal skills. Educational degrees or

technical expertise in a particular function do not ensure that an employee

can effectively lead a workgroup—an interpersonal skill.

While management skills can be developed, in this day and age of

reduced training budgets, limited training dollars are often reserved for

those newly hired into non-management functions. This trend leaves

leaders and managers without the training support necessary to be effec-

tive in their positions as motivators and supporters of others. In the 1980s

when I was newly promoted to management, the company had an estab-

lished training curriculum for new managers and a continuation curricu-

lum for current managers.

In the 1990s, in an effort to save money, courses were either

eliminated or trimmed down to the level where they were essentially

useless. As we advanced into the third millennium, many training courses

were shifted to a multimedia format, which, while better than nothing, did

not approach the quality of training offered twenty years ago. Regardless

of the quality of any management training curriculum, the climate of your

workplace is established by its leaders. Furthermore, a company can


10 Victoria C. DePaul

provide the best training that money can buy, but unless the organization

implements this training outside of the classroom it will have little effect

on the vital area of leadership and management.

So, in the absence of a substantial, formal training program, man-

agers and supervisors fall back on the examples and tutelage available to

them—and hence the problem. As they seek guidance from teammates

equally unskilled in the synergy of effective organizations, they don’t

know how to manage people and their own negative behaviors.

2. Business leaders are interested in the short-term end result, not

the path to get there.

Let’s face it. In these tough economic times the dollar rules. Busi-

nesses are constantly faced with how to produce more with less. “More”

translates to increased profits, while “less” means reduced expenses. In

order to decrease expenses each year budgets are cut, leaving companies

and departments to operate with reduced resources. To satisfy company

leaders, stakeholders, and customers, businesses sacrifice long-term

success strategies in favor of short-term, immediate payoffs. Since labor is

one of the major expenses of any organizational budget, increasingly more

businesses choose to trim costs through downsizing, mergers, collabora-


Creating the Intrapreneur 11

tions, and out-sourcing—all of these ultimately establishing a reduction in

human capital.1 While these strategies may boost the bottom line, profits

to the company, and dividends to stockholders in the short-term, are

leaders considering the total cost to the long-term survival of the organi-

zation?

Here I must make one point that is absolutely essential to the un-

derstanding of the remainder of this work: human capital is the most

critical resource to any organization. Unfortunately, for most organiza-

tions it is the most disposable. Consider this: people are the ultimate

source of energy and therefore the power of an organization. People

perform all of the thinking, planning, and designing. People operate your

machinery, interact with each other, and interface with customers. Reduc-

tions in human capital, designed to alleviate a present financial condition,

result in a reduction in the power of your organization. This reduction in

power, in the long-term, will affect the organization’s ability to maintain

1
This does not refer to strategic consolidation efforts designed to streamline processes and job
functions, which will increase the overall efficiency of the organization. Such strategies are a
necessary component of effective leadership. In my experience, however, budget cuts are the major
criteria motivating present action, with little regard for the effect on day-to-day operations or long-
term objectives.
12 Victoria C. DePaul

and achieve current goals, retain and attract customers, and compete

effectively in your marketplace.

3. Managers and supervisors receive passive rewards for their

aggressive behavior with bonuses, increased salaries, compensation

time, and other benefits.

In many cases management compensation depends upon the bot-

tom line success of the organization. As a manager, this means that salary

is directly related to the performance of those reporting to me. While the

positive intent of this pay structure is to increase management account-

ability throughout the organization, those without strong, positive inter-

personal and management skills will resort to coercive techniques in order

to meet team and company objectives.

Managers are not held accountable for how they achieve their re-

sults, just whether or not the goal is met. Throughout my early career I

saw managers and supervisors, myself included, rewarded for harassing

employees. Unfortunately, in my current work with organizations, I

observe that this behavior is still routine practice today. A wide separation

of bonuses and benefits exists between management and the ranks. With
Creating the Intrapreneur 13

so much at stake, often managers will do whatever necessary to meet the

mark.

4. Leaders, managers, and supervisors do not understand what

really motivates people to operate at peak potential.

In order to achieve results, managers lead by harassment, threats,

and manipulation through both covert and overt means. While not openly

sanctioned, this management style remains common as company leaders

remain focused on bottom line results and employees remain silent.

Employees will endure on-the-job intimidation for a variety of reasons:

Fear of repercussions including termination

Fear of termination leading to loss of income, healthcare, pen-

sion, and other benefits

Belief that management doesn’t care anyway

Belief that it probably isn’t going to be any better elsewhere

Businesses continue to struggle to achieve adequate results be-

cause managers and supervisors do not understand how organizational

energy systems operate. Add the fact that managers do not understand the
14 Victoria C. DePaul

fundamental principles that fuel human motivation and the end result is

the list stated above. In the pages that follow you will be introduced to a

powerful technology of personal and organizational change. You will learn

that businesses are energy systems and operate much like energy systems

that you are already familiar with.

I learned of this leadership and personal achievement model five

years ago. By this time I had survived several company mergers. The work

culture of my last corporate position made the informal implementation

of this model painless, at least within the human resources division. This

company places an emphasis on effective communication, the value of the

individual, and teamwork. As a nationwide company with over 210,000

employees, I can’t state with absolute certainty that all departments and

divisions shared the same level of commitment to creating a team-based

work climate. I do know that as a human resources manager I met with

no resistance; the HR leadership team echoed this message so the gate

was wide open for change.

While the objectives were clear, how to accomplish this wasn’t al-

ways so apparent. Promoted into a new leadership position, I inherited a

team that demonstrated most of the symptoms of a dysfunctional organi-


Creating the Intrapreneur 15

zation listed earlier. As I began to identify and list the problems with this

team, the problem became clear. This team was attempting to produce

positive results while operating in negative energies, a strategy sure to fail.

The primary issue was the dictator mentality of all but one of the

managers. Employees were made to believe that they were indeed “subor-

dinate,” a term that for many suggests “less than,” inferior, or secondary.

Because of this possible connotation I do not use the word, preferring

employee, partner, associate, or team member, which is more accurate

anyway, at least if your organization desires to operate at peak potential.

Employees were micromanaged, bordering on harassment.

The work environment showed a clear division of “us” versus

“them” with frequent meetings behind closed doors. The overall result

was a de-motivated team operating in distrust and discontent. In this

environment, these employees primarily focused on not getting fired. In

addition to the low morale, I discovered that the dictator mentality

extended far beyond the office. The client base was dissatisfied, offering

numerous complaints that were regularly dismissed by the management

team. The prevailing thought was, “We are unique and you need us, we
16 Victoria C. DePaul

don’t need you.” Of course this was and is a costly mistake; in business

you are rarely the only game in town.

In short, I became an Intrapreneur,2 a manager who didn’t just

think outside the box, but busted loose from the box. I began the task of

turning things around. I recognized the significance of each individual to

accomplishing the end result. Over the years I have learned that people

want to work. People want to contribute. Understanding this and giving

them the opportunity to do so is all that is needed to move any team to

success.

The successful organization of the third millennium will embrace

and encourage intrapreneurship. If you want new and different results,

you need new and different ideas. We live in a world where change is

inevitable and occurs at incredible speeds. Organizations that are unable

to manage change effectively are destined to stagnate and eventually fail.

In order to succeed, the intrapreneurial leader must be able to keep pace,

change direction—or even plot a new course if necessary.

2“Intrapreneur” is a term coined in the 1970s by Gifford and Elizabeth Pinchot to

describe employees in a corporate environment who operate with an entrepreneurial


mind-set. The intrapreneur is innovative, creative, and resourceful and learns how to
work within a corporate or organizational framework.
Creating the Intrapreneur 17

Organizations that value intrapreneurship will support a culture of

commitment to excellence and autonomy. To be profitable, and therefore

competitive, the business of the future must adopt a strategy based on

corporate entrepreneurship—intrapreneurship. Fortunately most organi-

zations can easily make the transition to intrapreneurship simply by giving

their managers the opportunity to do what comes natural to many: steer

their own ship.

Here in this book, you will learn how to implement strategies and

processes that will be a powerful agent of positive energy for your organi-

zation. But of far more significance to you, your family, and the global

community, you will discover that the true power in life comes from

understanding how life works and how you (and others) can create life as

you desire. You must release the human potential that lies dormant in

your organization and within you.

Reflection

♦ Is there negative energy in your workplace?

♦ What are the symptoms of negativity that you have

observed?

♦ What are the effects of this negative energy on the

organization?

♦ What are the effects that you experience?

Are the employees in your company encouraged to think and be-

have as intrapreneurs? In other words, does your organizational culture

support or retard innovation, creativity, resourcefulness, independent

thinking, and risk-taking?

Are you an intrapreneur?

As a manager, what other ways can you give your team members

an opportunity to nourish their intrapreneurial spirit, to grow their

individual initiative?

Chapter Two

Human Quantum Energy

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available

only when in that state of mind in which you know exactly what you want and fully

determined not to quit until you find it.

—Alexander Graham Bell

To begin, understanding the following terms are necessary:

Energy

Everything that exists is energy. Life is about energy—it runs on

energy, it seeks energy, and it transforms energy. This includes solid

matter in the physical universe. Even “solid” matter is but energy main-
20 Victoria C. DePaul

taining a fixed pattern, instead of flowing or radiating. Note that two very

distinct kinds of energies exist in our lives: physical and quantum.

Physical energies are all those that are produced by physical

means. Physical forms of energy include mechanical, electrical, potential,

kinetic, gravitational, chemical, thermodynamic, nuclear, light, rotational,

electromagnetic radiation (includes light, heat, infra red, radio, and

microwaves), biological, and meteorological (lightning, storms, and ocean

heat) to name a few. Even money is a store and representation of energy.

Notice that all of the above forms of energy are physical, generated by

physical means, and measurable with physical, scientific instruments.

There are also many kinds of nonphysical or Quantum Energy.

“Energy” is classified as a Quantum Life Energy when it cannot be

produced by physical means or measured by scientific instruments. Such

energies are Life Energies; they are produced, perceived, and used by

people—life entities. You can’t go down to the local hardware store and

say, “Give me a pound of love, a quart of intelligence, and a bag of

happiness.”

The forms of human Quantum Energy, Life Energy, include will,

consciousness, mental energy, emotional energy, human communications,


Creating the Intrapreneur 21

and relationships. The sounds or the words on paper that we make to

communicate are physical energies; what we communicate—information,

ideas, feelings, beliefs, values, desires, and needs—are nonphysical,

Quantum Energies. Likewise, information, knowledge, intelligence,

creativity, and intuition are also Quantum Energies. Information may be

represented physically with letters on this page, or ones and zeros in a

computer memory, but the information itself is mental energy.

You operate on energy. At the end of a day you are usually tired,

of low-energy, and must sleep to recharge your Life Energy. You awaken

in the morning full of energy for a new day, or charged with negative

energy if you are unhappy with your life situation. You may think that is a

purely physical, biological energy recharge, but sleeping is much more

than that. It also recharges your Quantum Life Energy consciousness and

will. Your mind operates with energy. Every thought, idea, datum, mem-

ory, image, vision, and plan is an energy form, molded by the energy of

your will and perceived by the energy that is your consciousness.

Your emotions are energies. Joy, passion, love, enthusiasm, satis-

faction, monotony, indifference, anger, fear, anxiety, rage, worry, guilt,

resentment, hate, sorrow, loneliness, sadness, grief, desperation, and


22 Victoria C. DePaul

depression—all of these are energies. Pain and suffering, love and happi-

ness are all energies. Understanding that the most important energies of

all are the human Quantum Energies within the individual—mind,

feelings, and your interactions with others—is critical to your power in

life. These are the energies that most affect and control the individual,

family, groups, and organizations.

As we shall see, they are the most powerful energies that exist.

Power is the ability to produce the desired results in any area of life, and

for any person or any group. As Quantum Energy is the most powerful of

all energies, your power in life depends on your ability to control your

Quantum Energies.

The ultimate motivation of life is more and more positive energy,

and less and less negative energy. This is the ultimate motivation of your

organization, every employee, and every stakeholder. To produce these

experiences in your life, you must learn how these forms of energy work.

You, as a person, are not your body but your spirit. As spirit, you are a

nonphysical, animated life entity. You are a Life Energy entity of Con-

sciousness, Awareness, and Will. You, the Being, operate with nonphysi-

cal Quantum Energies of many kinds: mental, emotional,


Creating the Intrapreneur 23

communicational, visionary, motivational, intuitional, sentimental, and

more. As all that exists is energy, all force, work, change, and movement

are energy at work.

Polarity

Most forms of energy are a polarity spectrum with both a positive

and a negative side. Positive energy is that which contributes to power by

producing, supporting, and contributing to the desired results. Negative

energy is that which subtracts or reduces power by causing frictions,

blocks, damages, or destruction to an energy system.

Examples of negative energy within people include frustration,

anger, fear, hostility, anxiety, rage, worry, guilt, sorrow, loneliness, sad-

ness, grief, desperation, impatience, depression, etc. Examples of negative

energy from and between individuals in groups include personal frictions,

dislikes, resentments, hate, anger attacks, blame, invalidation, jealousy,

gossip, rumors, reduced or no communication, and reduced or no coop-

eration.

Examples of negative energy in organizations include indifference,

low morale and motivation, tardiness and absenteeism, lack of caring and
24 Victoria C. DePaul

negligence, dishonesty, theft, suppressive leadership, retaliations, and

sabotage. Negative energy in organizations also results in high turnover

and continuous employee training, all resulting in increased cost to the

business.

All forms of negative energy in an energy system work to reduce

the power, the total output of the energy system (organization) in both

quantity and quality. To improve the productivity of an energy system,

you must first eliminate the negative energy. Sustaining an increase of

positive energy, and therefore power, in an energy system is impossible

without first removing the negative energy. The negative energy causes

leakage and loss of positive energy, like trying to fill a water bucket full of

holes.

The basic unit, the basic “chip” (to use an electronic or computer

analogy) of all energy systems is the individual human being. The individ-

ual person is the generator of all nonphysical, negative energy in an energy

system. People are the basic unit of power in any human energy system.

To stop the negative energy in human energy systems, whether it is the

world, nations, communities, businesses, groups, families, or individuals,

you must eliminate the generation of the negative energy within the basic
Creating the Intrapreneur 25

“chip.” The only way to eliminate negative energy from groups and

organizations is to stop the generation of negative energy in and from

each person.

The origin of all nonphysical negative energy is a specific malfunc-

tion or “virus” in the Human Operating System: the set of subconscious

programs and beliefs that people absorbed growing up.3 These erroneous

ideas about how life works interfere with a person’s ability to achieve

significant levels of positive energy and therefore personal power. Life

Energy is the nucleus of the human spirit itself, thus the term “human

Nuclear Energy.” As you continue to read you will discover what human

Nuclear Energy is. One of its principle characteristics is polarity with

positive and negative sides. When a person does not understand how it

works, he or she will often generate negative energy instead of the positive

energy that he or she seeks. This ignorance is the origin of all negative

energy in an organization.

3
Program: A mental model, a self-created idea of how things and people should or should not be.
26 Victoria C. DePaul

Universal Law

The ultimate motivation of all of life is to achieve higher and

higher levels of positive energy and less and less negative energy. Under-

standing and controlling human Nuclear Energy is the key to positive

energy, and therefore personal power. Armed with this knowledge you

will increase your personal happiness, enjoy greater job satisfaction, create

meaningful relationships, and achieve significant results in your organiza-

tion.

Power

Power is defined as the ability to produce the desired results. Be

sure to make note of this definition to avoid confusion with other ideas

about power such as authority, force, political, or military power. Here

personal power means your ability to produce whatever you want in life,

and this is best achieved by using power with, not power over, others.

Over the centuries, man has come out of living in caves to exer-

cise great power over the physical universe. You live today with more

power and security than even kings of a hundred years ago. You com-

mand great quantities of energy.


Creating the Intrapreneur 27

• Your carriage has two hundred horsepower instead of eight. Turn

on all the lights in your typical house and you have up to one

hundred thousand candlepower of lights.

• You communicate instantly around the world and are able to see

what is happening on the other side even as it occurs.

• You fly through the air at velocities believed impossible a hundred

years ago, and do so in more comfort than any magic carpet. (De-

sert heat and sandstorms are hell on a magic carpet; lacking as

they do windshields and air-conditioning.)

• Montezuma had to send runners to climb the volcanoes outside of

Mexico City every day to bring him ice because it couldn’t be pre-

served in the heat of Mexico. You open a magical box in your

kitchen, where you not only have ice 24/7, but also exquisite

foods from around the world.

• Not all their riches and power could save Cleopatra or Marie An-

toinette from the pains of childbirth, the ravishment of small pox,

or the agony of a toothache.

• You use computers for work and for play with the ability to com-

plete complex transactions at a rate of billions of instructions per

second.
28 Victoria C. DePaul

So you are indeed powerful compared, not only to the average

person in the past, but to kings and emperors. Where does that power

come from? It comes from knowledge, from science. The climb out of

the caves to the heights of mankind’s power today is the history of the

accumulation of knowledge. This is also true for the power that you will

acquire by implementing the processes you will learn in this book. You

will acquire power to handle the Quantum Energies of your life and of

your family, groups, and organizations.

This knowledge, and therefore power, will allow you to recognize

and stop the generation of negative energy in yourself and in your organi-

zation, and to enter into a continual spiral of ever increasing positive

energy in life. All energy is universal and acts according to universal laws.

All energy, both physical and nonphysical, obeys laws and principles. Life

is never random; everything obeys the laws of Cause and Effect. Physics,

chemistry, and electronics obey the laws of physical energy. Emotions,

thoughts, and ideas, as do all Quantum Energies, obey the laws of the

Quantum universe.
Creating the Intrapreneur 29

Here are some examples of the laws of human Quantum Energy

that you will discover in this book. These will be explained in further

detail later in the text.

Energy that flows, discharges, and discreates.

Resistance Causes Persistence. Resistance is any kind of

negative energy sent against something to stop,

change, punish, or destroy it.

Energy flows to SPace,4 a point of no energy.

Life and everything that exists and occurs in it are energy

and energy processes.

Life consists of two kinds of energy: physical and Quan-

tum.

Knowledge is power. In the same way that knowledge of how

physical energy works has given mankind power over the physical uni-

indicate its importance as a concept. It will be discussed in a later chapter in detail.

verse, and knowledge of how the Quantum universe works will increase

power, personal power. Knowledge of how Quantum Energy works, will

give you power over your life and allow you to be a positive flow of

energy to your organization. It will give you the power to produce more

of the things you want in life, both personally and in your organization.

Energy Systems

Your business or organization is an energy system. Understanding

it from this perspective will unlock for you new levels of power and

control. Energies rarely work alone. A single kind of energy working alone

can produce only very limited results. Energies combine and synergize to

work together in energy systems, which in turn are composed of subsys-

tems. “Synergize” means to create synergy. Synergy is the alignment,

cooperation, and synchronization of different energies to increase power,

to produce results that would otherwise be impossible. Power is the result

of the synergy of energies.

To clarify the concept of energy systems, listed below are the

names of some systems you are familiar with along with some of the

energy subsystems that compose the greater systems. In each case, the list
Creating the Intrapreneur 31

of energies named includes only a few of the subsystems contained in that

energy system.

Plants

The root subsystem supports the plant and takes in water and

minerals from the earth. The stem or trunk moves water and minerals up

to the leaves, where photosynthesis takes place using light and chemical

energy. The resulting nutrients are then distributed to all parts of the

plant, including back down into the root, for growth. The root growth of

some plants, rubber trees to name one species, is so powerful that it can

break up, or break through, six inches of concrete.

The Planet

Air, water, and land. The alternating polarity energy systems of

light and dark, and heat and cold of the sun generate energy and therefore

power. The planet also includes the horizontal circulatory system of the

winds, and the vertical rise and fall system caused by differing air tempera-

tures. These differing air temperatures cause the horizontal circulatory and

vertical rise and fall of the winds. Manifestations of that energy-power

include all weather, thunderstorms, tornados, hurricanes, typhoons, etc.


32 Victoria C. DePaul

The oceans circulate and also rise and fall according to heating and

cooling by the sun. The air is a subsystem of the planet and consists of

many subsystems.

For example, animals and humans convert oxygen to carbon diox-

ide; plants convert the carbon dioxide back to oxygen. The land consists

of topsoil, subsoil, strata, bedrock, and magma, each with a purpose in the

grand scheme of things. All of these systems working together make life

possible.

Animals and the Human Body

These life forms have so many energies and subsystems that just

naming them all with no description whatsoever is a challenge. Some of

the main ones are: skeletal system; muscular and motor systems; the blood

circulatory system, of which the heart is a complicated subsystem; nervous

system; food intake, and the mastication system (i.e., mouth); digestive

system; excretory system; perception and sensing subsystems including

vision, hearing, smell, touch, and taste; lymphatic system; immune system;

internal temperature generation and maintenance system; and respiratory

system, of which the lungs are a subsystem.


Creating the Intrapreneur 33

Every organ is a subsystem of a greater system, and in turn is itself

composed of subsystems. The heart, for example, is part of the blood

circulatory system and includes a muscular system, a conduit system, a

valve system, its own blood supply system, and its own nervous and

electrical system that controls its beat rate. The human energy system

creates and operates other energy systems, including families, neighbor-

hoods, cities, nations, and business organizations.

On a simpler level, every tool and machine that we make is an en-

ergy system. Even a hammer is a system: it has a handle, a shaft, and a

head, each with its own purpose; and it requires a human body system to

aim and operate it. The hammer is an extension of people as energy

systems, permitting them to leverage energy and so do more work.

An automobile is a complex energy system with a structural sys-

tem, frame systems, rolling system, steering system, transmission system,

braking system, electrical system with a lighting subsystem, and climate

control system. One of its subsystems is the motor, which in turn consists

of many subsystems, such as starting, fuel, air, ignition, lubrication,

cooling, electrical generation, electrical storage, valves, and timing, among

others.
34 Victoria C. DePaul

A computer is a complex energy system. It includes many subsys-

tems: power supply system, motherboard system, storage system, input

system (consisting of a mouse, keyboard, USB devices), and CD and

DVD drives. It also includes an output system which can consist of a

visual display, printer, speakers, or network. A motherboard, in turn, has

many subsystems starting with the central processor, its cooling system, its

electrical supply, video and sound chips, input and output chips, and so

on. The system and its subsystem operate with many forms of electrical

energies. Chips in turn modulate and transform these systems to whatever

kind of energy is needed, including digital magnetic impulse energy for the

hard drive, and display control energies for the screen.

Notice again, how power, the ability to do work and produce the

desired results, comes from energy systems. Systems combine and align

things and energies with dynamic cooperation and support; each making

its particular contribution to the whole. The whole is more than the sum

of the parts, but without all the parts, the whole is nothing. The same is

true for your business.


Creating the Intrapreneur 35

People Energy Systems

Plants, animals, the earth, tools, machinery, computers, vehicles,

transport systems, and electronic and communications systems are far

from the only energy systems on the planet. Every person is a complex

energy system comprised of both physical energies and human Quantum

Energies. People then combine and synergize their energies to create

extremely complex organizational energy systems: groups, corporations,

non-profits, universities, and governments, to name a few. A human

energy system exists any time two or more people get together and

combine efforts toward some common goal. These human energy systems

are the creators of all man-made energy systems mentioned above—and

of your business.

Every group of people is a human energy system, including a cou-

ple, a family, a work group or team, a small business, a huge corporation,

a nonprofit organization, a church, a political party, a government, a

society, and a nation. Human energy systems intake, transport, use,

transform, and output energies of many kinds and forms. Every such

group is an alignment of individual energies toward common goals and

purposes. Group or organizational energy systems synergize and concen-


36 Victoria C. DePaul

trate energies of all kinds, human and physical, to create enough power to

achieve things far beyond the power of lesser energy systems. The defini-

tion of power, remember, is the ability to produce the desired results.

As one final example of an energy system, consider NASA; it in-

cludes most of the human energy systems named above, including its own

government, and has demonstrated the power to put a man on the moon.

You do the math here: how many kinds of energy are found in the human

energy system known as NASA, an organization that has the power to put

a human being on the moon? Don’t forget to include financial energy and

physical energies, including light, heat, cold, electrical, and computational.

Don’t forget all solid matter, including materials, tools, and ma-

chines. Also include all the human energies such as all thought, planning,

communication, teamwork, and emotional energy. A hint with the first

one—the financial energy intake for just one year—NASA’s projected

budget is about $20 billion for 2008. The entire list will have many

thousands of kinds of energy and matter organized in almost innumerable

subsystems.

The point is that almost everything that exists is an energy system.

Some are natural, like living things, including the human being. People
Creating the Intrapreneur 37

then assemble to form human energy systems, groups, and organizations

of all kinds. The purpose of human energy systems is always power, and

they indeed have it, demonstrated by their creation of many kinds of

energy systems, such as tools, machinery, electrical systems, refrigerators,

automobiles, computers, and moon rockets.

Your organization is a human energy system. The nature of hu-

man energy systems, particularly the causes of negative energy and

malfunctions, is the subject of this book. Here is an important point: all

energy obeys precise laws and principles. This includes people and all

human energy systems (organizations). This means that your organiza-

tion’s energy system, and each individual in your organization’s energy

system, functions according to certain universal laws. By understanding

these laws, you acquire control over the energy that exists in your organi-

zation. You acquire the power to eliminate negative energy and increase

the positive energy not only in your business but within you as well.

Summary to this Point:

Everything powerful that exists is an energy system. An energy

system is any structure, physical or human, that combines, synergizes, and

concentrates energies to create the power to produce desired results. All


38 Victoria C. DePaul

groups and organizations are human energy systems. You, others, your

couple relationship, your family, your groups and teams, and your com-

pany are all energy systems. Your understanding of life as energy systems

and your knowledge of the universal laws of human energy will bring you

power.

The Human Quantum Energy System

Power comes from knowledge. Distinction is the father of knowl-

edge, and therefore of power; what follows will distinguish the existence

of the internal, human Quantum Energy system. Your nonphysical,

spiritual Quantum Energies include:

1. Your will and will-power, which include decision, commitment,

determination, constancy, and persistence.

2. Your awareness and consciousness of both self and others. Every

day you consume this energy while you are awake and recharge it

in your sleep.

3. Your mind and all its varieties of thought-frequency energies.

These include ideas, data and knowledge, values, memories, goals,

desires, mental images of the past and visions of possible futures,

plans, and beliefs. You also have your mental activities and abili-
Creating the Intrapreneur 39

ties such as intelligence, analysis, comparison, imagination, intui-

tion, creativity, design, and planning.

(All of the above are energies and energy-powered processes.)

4. Your subconscious mind and all that is in it, which is substantially

larger than your conscious mind.

5. Your emotions. Your emotions are energies and include joy, love,

enthusiasm, satisfaction, boredom, frustration, anger, fear, hostil-

ity, anxiety, rage, worry, guilt, resentment, hate, sorrow, loneliness,

sadness, grief, desperation, impatience, and depression, among

others. Here, in the emotional energies, the roots of morale and

motivation are found in families, groups, and organizations.

6. Your relationship with yourself defined by your self-image and

your self-esteem. These define the energies that form your charac-

ter and your personality. All of these are energy programs and re-

cordings; they are part of your human “software” that programs

your thinking, feeling, and doing. They determine the differences

between how individuals think, feel, act, and react to the world.

7. Your energies that form and affect your relationships with others.

These include what you say as well as how you say it; that is, the
40 Victoria C. DePaul

energy you use when you communicate. Your relationships ener-

gies include your integrity, sincerity, honesty, and how win-win

you play with others. It includes how you treat others and how

you respond or react to their treatment of you.

While physical actions may be involved with these characteristics

of relationships, the meanings, impulses, and motivations behind them are

internal, nonphysical energies. Do these energies exist? Are any of these

energies going on inside of you, in your experience?5 Are any of these

energies occurring in the people around you? Do you see these in action

in your spouse, your children, your family, and relatives? Are any of these

energies affecting the teamwork and performance of groups you partici-

pate in at work? Are any of these energies affecting, positively or nega-

tively, the performance, power, and production of your organization?

Absolutely.

5
Experience is anything that you perceive, sense, think, or feel in the present moment, particularly
your experience of quantum energies. If referring to physical experience—what your body
perceives—is necessary, it will be stated as “physical experience.” When referring to an action or
event learned in the past, such as an experience in driving a car, it will be referred to as “past
experience.”
Creating the Intrapreneur 41

All of these energies occur not only in you, but also in others, in

all groups, and in all organizations. You experience, you perceive and feel,

and you live daily with all of these energies, right? We all do, and so does

every group and organization composed of people. Are these energies

important in life? Obviously, they are. They control us, and we control

most of the other energy systems. Are they complex? What happens to

the complexity of the organizational energy system when you have many

people involved?

If you consider the quantity and complexity of your Quantum En-

ergies (mind, thoughts, emotions, feelings, motivations, behaviors, likes,

and dislikes), and that every human being has more or less the same

quantity and complexity, then add into the equation all the possible

interactions of all the energies of all people in your organization, the

complexity exceeds that of a space shuttle. In fact, the space shuttles were

created by and with human Quantum Energies. That is its primary source

of energy, not the electricity in its batteries or the fuel in its tanks.

So yes, they are complex. But they obey laws and principles, those

of Cause and Effect. These are understandable and controllable. Further-

more, we can trace the root cause of all the nonphysical energies (emo-
42 Victoria C. DePaul

tions, thoughts, and behaviors) down to just three fundamental energies

that make up the energy nucleus of every human spirit. Your understand-

ing of the importance of energy systems, and of understanding life and

organizations in terms of energy and energy systems is critical to your

success in life. The human being—the being or spirit part, not the body—

is an energy system. This system is not physical energy; it is nonphysical

or human Quantum Energy, but no less important or any less powerful—

quite the contrary.

The human Quantum Energy system, the individual person, is the

most powerful energy system that exists. It created all other man-made

energy systems, and is the basic “chip” or “circuit” that comprises and

operates all other man-made energy systems, including your organization,

your community, and your family, for example. The human Quantum

Energies create and operate all groups and organizations, which in turn

create and operate all tools, instruments, and machines, from a simple

hammer, to a can opener, to a nuclear reactor, to a spaceship.

Understanding that the human Quantum Energy system (mind,

emotions, and behaviors) is a coherent system is important. It is not just a

collection of unconnected, unrelated, accidental, or randomly occurring


Creating the Intrapreneur 43

energies. All energies, both physical and Quantum, operate according to

exact laws and principles. Everything that happens and exists in the

Quantum Energy system of every person is pure Cause and Effect.

Humankind has acquired power over the physical universe by ac-

quiring the knowledge of its laws, codified as the physical sciences. The

purpose of this book is to give you the knowledge of the universal laws of

the human Quantum Energy system, to enlighten you on the laws of your

nonphysical Life Essence. This knowledge will give you the power to

control all these energies within you, and to help others, including your

family and community, learn to control theirs. It will give you the power

to permanently eliminate the negative human energies from your organi-

zation and permanently increase the positive.

As you will see later, eliminating negative energy is the most im-

portant factor in improving the human energy climate (and therefore the

productivity) of your organization. You cannot maintain and increase

positive energy while negative energy leaks exist in the system. The term

“human energy climate” defines the net combination of all the human

mental, emotional, and behavioral energies, both positive and negative, of

an organization (business energy system). Positive human energy, which


44 Victoria C. DePaul

includes commitment, intelligence, initiative, creativity, and good relation-

ships with others, is the basis of smooth operations and high productivity

of any organization. Negative human energy, which includes anger,

resentment, hate, indifference, irresponsibility, and personal aversions,

among others, is the root cause of interpersonal frictions, problems, and

errors that interfere with operations and therefore diminish both quality

and quantity in production.

Experience is Either Quantum or Physical


Creating the Intrapreneur 45

Summary

1. Two kinds of energy exist in life: physical energies and the non-

physical energies of mind, motivations, and relationships, and the

deeper still, human Quantum Energies of spirit itself.

Law: Experience is either Quantum or physical

2. The human Quantum Energies include will, decision, determina-

tion, persistence, commitment, and loyalty; all types of thought

and mind processes, like ideas, knowledge, intelligence, and crea-

tivity; the entire emotional energy polarity, which includes joy, en-

thusiasm, indifference, anger, fear, hate, grief, and depression—

indeed all the emotions; all causes of behaviors, both in regard to

communication and treatment; and things such as job perform-

ance.

3. The human Quantum Energies are more powerful than physical

energies. They choose, motivate, and direct all human behavior

and effort, both in interactions with others and with things.

4. The human being as a Quantum Energy system is the basic unit,

the basic “chip” of all organizational energy systems.


46 Victoria C. DePaul

5. The vast majority of the conflicts and problems in an organization

are negative Quantum Energy problems. Even most of the prob-

lems in the physical universe of the organization originate in nega-

tive human Quantum Energies.

6. Improving the human energy climate and therefore the power of

an organization is impossible without substantially reducing and

eventually eliminating the negative human Quantum Energy in the

system.

Reflection

Imagine that you are on your way to work and your car breaks down.

Describe what may have happened in the physical universe to cre-

ate this result.

Describe what is happening in your nonphysical, Quantum uni-

verse.

Of the two, which has a more profound effect on you?


Creating the Intrapreneur 47

The human energy climate can be felt as the overall morale, motivation,

enthusiasm, and job satisfaction in the organization. Look around you.

What is the human energy climate in your organization?

What is the human energy climate of your family?

Now look deeper still. What is the human energy climate within

you?

Chapter 4

Negative Energy

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies

within us.

—Oliver Wendell Holmes

Negative energy is any energy that is painful, undesired, or coun-

terproductive to your happiness or to your goals, and therefore to your

power. Again, those characteristics do not make it bad energy, only

negative. The previous chapter showed that negative energy must exist for

positive to exist. Since “bad” is that which should not exist, our negative

energies therefore are not bad, just counterproductive to the positive


Creating the Intrapreneur 49

experience that we wish to achieve. By the Law of Polarity, these negative

experiences must exist.

Although negative energy must exist, you do not have to operate

with negative energy within you, your family, your community, or your

organizations. By understanding how it is generated, as part of the

Nuclear Energies of the human being, you can eliminate negative energy.

Technically, the concept of negative energy or a negative energy

situation includes

Painful energy such as anger, fear, grief, and depression;

The wrong kind of energy, such as an AC electrical current

when you need DC current, or joviality when solem-

nity is appropriate;

The wrong polarity of energy: positive when you need

negative, or negative when you need positive;

Counterproductive energy: energy that produces undesired

effects;

Incorrect quantity of energy, too much or too little;


50 Victoria C. DePaul

Insufficient quality (purity) of energy; has static or unde-

sired peaks of frequency or amplitude;

Incorrectly timed energy—too slow, too late; or too fast,

too early.

For the most part, the above list identifies energy of the physical

universe. The negative Quantum Energies “inside” of people that cause

negative energies and poor results in your life, groups, and organizations

will interest you most. You are already quite familiar with such energies,

and a simple list will suffice to make clear what negative energies are

referred to here.

Examples of Negative Human Quantum Energies:

Negative Emotion Energy Negative Thoughts


Frustration Impatience Low self-esteem
Hostility Anger Invalidations to self and others
Rage Anxiety Making bad and wrong
Worry Fear Blame and guilt
Guilt Resentment Victim mentality
Envy, jealousy Hate Programs (All ideas of what
Desperation Sorrow, sadness, should/should not be. Denial of
Depression loneliness freedom to BE.)
Apathy Ego (All efforts to exalt oneself by
debasing others; arrogance.)

Life works according to a Causal Sequence that is:

BE → FEEL → THINK → DO → HAVE

The Causal Sequence (Cause-al Sequence) of Life is an ordered se-

ries of factors, each of which determines the nature of the following ones.

Since your experience, indeed your life, functions according to this

formula, you must understand how it works. With this understanding you

will be able to control and have power over your life. This formula will be
52 Victoria C. DePaul

examined in more depth later. The classifications of the negative human

energies from the previous lists apply to the Causal Sequence as follows:

1) Negative Emotion Energy = FEEL: All the negative, painful

emotional energies.

2) Negative Thoughts = THINK: All forms of thought energy: ideas,

desires, plans, goals, etc. Every thought is a thing, an object, made of

mental frequency energy.

3) Negative Actions & Behaviors = DO: All behaviors, habits, actions,

treatment of others, reactions to others actions, and communication.

4) Results in Your Physical Universe = HAVE: The results that show

up in your life. Some of these will overlap as, obviously, THINKing leads

to DOing, and DOing leads to HAVEing, or results. The negative FEEL

→ THINK → DO energies above produce the following negative HAVE

(negative results) for your organization and the people in it.

Negative HAVE

The results of BE → FEEL → THINK → DO from the prior

list of negative energies (the negative results in your organization):


Creating the Intrapreneur 53

Latent, simmering, and sometimes explosive emotional re-

activity

People reacting on hair triggers, while others are cautious,

defensive, and fearful

Interpersonal aversions, resistances, and conflicts

Arguments, quarreling, and disputes resulting in strained

relationships and reduced communications

Jealousies, power and turf struggles

Low morale and motivation, indifference, lethargy

Reduced, slowed, withheld, and lost communications

Reduced responsibility and initiative

Reduced creativity and resourcefulness

Indifference to the mission and goals of the organization

Poor compliance with safety and organizational policies

Misordered or omitted priorities


54 Victoria C. DePaul

Tardiness and absenteeism

Gossip and rumors

Insecurity, lack of trust and confidence, fear

Feelings of powerlessness, hopelessness, and victim men-

tality

Lack of cooperation and support between people and de-

partments

Unhappiness, emotional pain, and suffering of the people

in the workplace

Retaliations and revenge

Rebellion and sabotage

Mistakes, omissions, and errors, all leading to breakdowns

Poor job satisfaction, resistance to working in your organi-

zation

High general turnover, low retention


Creating the Intrapreneur 55

Loss of your best people due to the negative energy cli-

mate of the workplace

Chaos in the organization, poor departmental and overall

performance and production

Inattention and poor service leading to a loss of customers

Does this list look familiar? Recall that these are the symptoms of

a dysfunctional organization introduced at the very start. Perhaps these

symptoms even describe your organization. If so, your business is not

operating at full potential. Your negative organizational results are the

consequence of operating within a negative Causal Sequence. All of the

above increases costs, reduces profitability, and makes life unpleasant for

all.

Do these negative energies exist? Do you sometimes experience

them? Do you see them around you? What is the effect on your perform-

ance in particular, and the performance and production of your organiza-

tion, of such negative energies?

In your organization, machines break down, products don’t meet

quality standards, and supplies arrive late or are the wrong item. These are
56 Victoria C. DePaul

situations of the physical universe. But notice that the vast majority of

your problems are due to negative human energy—Quantum, nonphysical

universe problems. Take note that many of the physical problems of your

organization are caused, or not corrected adequately, by people operating

with negative energy.

The vast majority of problems and poor performance in organiza-

tions are caused by negative human Quantum Energy in the system.

Problems with things and machines are relatively simple to solve. Substan-

tially and permanently improving your organization’s performance,

productivity, competitive edge, and profitability is impossible without

reducing the negative Quantum Energy in the organization.

Law: To improve the energy system of your life, your family, and

your organization, you must minimize the negative human energies

in the system.

This is quite possible to do. All energies, human Quantum Ener-

gies included, obey exact laws and principles. Negative human Quantum

Energy is not accidental or random in any way. It has exact causes and

precise remedies. Until now, no one has been able to solve the problem of

negative human Quantum Energy.


Creating the Intrapreneur 57

It has not been solved by training, motivation, inspiration, or psy-

chology. Businesses spend millions of dollars each year sending employees

to training designed to inspire and motivate change, and yet employees

(and therefore organizations) continue to be plagued by poor morale, a

lack of fulfillment, and reduced productivity.

Negative human energy continues to exist in your life because you

have not identified the root cause. As you progress through the pages

ahead, not only will you discover the exact causes of negative energy, but

you will learn that you can create the positive energy that generates your

power in life.

Sabotage

When people are in negative energy, they usually go into the con-

dition of sabotage. Here sabotage has a special definition. Aside from

actively damaging an energy system, it exists any time a person does less

than his or her best, makes less than a 100 percent contribution, be it to

the organization, a group, a relationship, or to him or herself. Studying the

following diagram will help make the concept of sabotage clear.


58 Victoria C. DePaul

FEEL and DO energy levels of people in an energy system, rela-

tionship, family, group, or organization

FEEL motivates DO
Creating the Intrapreneur 59

Does anyone you know operate in sabotage in any group that you

are a part of (couple-ship, family, team, organization)? Do you operate in

sabotage in any group that you are a part of?


60 Victoria C. DePaul

The General Cause of Negative Human Quantum Energy

Why do people generate so much negative energy? Frustration,

hostility, anger, impatience, anxiety, fear, road rage, desk rage, worry, guilt,

resentment, hate, sorrow, loneliness, sadness, grief, desperation, depres-

sion, and more—our lives seem to have no end of negative emotional

energy. Because life works BE → FEEL → THINK → DO → HAVE,

that negative emotional energy (negative FEEL) then generates negative

thinking and negative behaviors. In other words, all negative behaviors

and relationship conflicts originate in negative FEELings (anger, fear,

guilt, resentment, hate, loneliness, depression, etc.).

By the Law of Polarity, we have seen that negative energy must

exist for the positives to exist. Therefore the experiences of love, happi-

ness, joy, and enthusiasm, for example, could not exist if their opposites

did not exist. However, no energy system operates well with negative

energies. Negative energy is, by definition, counterproductive or harmful

to the energy system. Some systems are designed to handle, filter out, or

operate in spite of negative energies, but nobody designs a system itself to

run on negative energy. This is also true of the human being. We were not

designed to run on negative emotional energy, and doing so is painful and


Creating the Intrapreneur 61

counter-happiness. In fact, the instinct to avoid or escape negative energy

without knowing how leads us into the trap of resisting our own and

others’ negative energies. This resistance causes pain and the persistence

of what is resisted.

Computer Analogy

To understand the general cause of negative human energy, con-

sider your computer. The basic software of a computer is called the

operating system. The operating system is a general program that tells all

the rest of the computer how to function and behave. Examples of

operating systems include Microsoft Windows 3, 95, 98, 2000, XP, and

Vista; Linux; DOS; MAC; and UNIX. Once the operating system is

installed and working you can install other programs called applications

on top of the operating system. However, the operating system is the

basic control system; it controls both the hardware and the applications.

GIGO—Garbage In, Garbage Out—is a law in computation. It

means that if your program input to the computer system has errors in it

(garbage), you will get errors (garbage) out of the system. As an operating

system consists of many thousands, even hundreds of thousands of lines

of code, errors and flaws, “garbage programming,” are common. Any-


62 Victoria C. DePaul

body with even minimum experience of Windows and its constant

updates to correct flaws has lived this. If you have used a computer much,

you remember how the earlier versions of Windows were plagued with

the famous “blue screen of death,” indicating that you had to reboot the

system.6 You have also probably heard of, if not personally experienced,

what viruses, spyware, worms, and trojans can do to a computer. All of

these are different forms of negative energies in the computer system, and

all produce conflicts, problems, and stoppages.

People work very much the same way. They have an operating

system in their being and mind, and it has flaws and “garbage.” Every

human being has a set of fundamental ideas about how life works. The

Human Operating System (HOS) includes ideas, beliefs, and values about

many things, including self, others, love, happiness, family, relationships,

money, and work. The HOS is also the seat of self-image, self-esteem,

character, and personality, among other things. It is a data bank that holds

our rules and programs of how to operate our life, including our internal

6
Windows XP still does this, but now Windows reboots itself automatically without having to
reboot the hardware. You will see it do this when the entire screen goes blank and then comes
back on, often with the problem application closed.
Creating the Intrapreneur 63

energies, such as thoughts and emotions, and our dealings, communica-

tions, and reactions to others.

Human Operating Systems around the world have many basic

“lines of code” shared by almost all people. For example, the vast majority

of us put a high value on money and family. However, great differences

also exist. You can see these differences by studying different cultures, as

each culture has its unique code. An American, a Jordanian, a Mexican,

and a Russian will sometimes behave very differently in the same situa-

tion. These differences in both feeling and behaviors have been “pro-

grammed” into their operating systems since childhood.

All of our negative emotions, negative thinking, behaviors, and re-

lationship conflicts occur because of GIGO; we have garbage in our

HOS. We suffer in life because of major errors, flaws, and viruses in our

basic programming of how life works—how our mental, emotional, and

relationship energies work. Life and human beings are not designed and

do not need to operate with negative energy. Negative energy only exists

because of flaws in our programming. It is not built into the human being

as necessary.
64 Victoria C. DePaul

It must exist for the positive to exist, but the human being does

not have to generate negative energy and only does so because of pro-

gramming, HOS errors. It is that simple. Negative human Quantum

Energy is the result of flaws, glitches, viruses, and worms—garbage—in

the operating system, in the programming of the person generating that

negative energy. GIGO.

Repair the programming by updating the HOS and you eliminate

the flaws and viruses that generate negative energy. The entire Quantum

Energy system of that person then begins to function as it should, with all

positive energies. This is what this book introduces: the HOS update that

needs to be installed in all persons so the Quantum operating system

functions correctly, according to the laws of Energy and Life.

People do not generate negative energy because they want to.

Negative energy is painful for them and for those around them, including

the people they love, such as their spouse, children, and family. Negative

energy prevents people from experiencing their full potential, and this has

a negative impact on your organization.

People generate negative energy because their HOS is deficient.

They don’t understand how Quantum Energy works, or how to control it.
Creating the Intrapreneur 65

They generate negative energy because they do not know how energy,

their being, and life operate. They know more about computers than they

do about themselves. Knowledge is power, and they are not only lacking

the right knowledge about their internal energies, but they have inaccura-

cies, flaws, and garbage in their knowledge, in their programming. This

lack of knowledge is so extensive that most people not only do not know

how to control it, they don’t even know that they can control it. And it

gets worse: most people believe they can’t control their energies, for

example their emotions, and think that their energies are controlled by

external events, such as other people, things, or situations.

As a result, they take their negative energy and attack external

events and those around them to try to stop or change them. Obviously,

this injects negative energy into the group energy systems. These beliefs

are one of the prime viruses in the current, obsolete HOS. Correcting

these erroneous beliefs is a basic and important part of the new HOS.

Because your team members are unaware of how negative energy

works, it continues to flourish in your organization, thus destroying the

intrapreneurial spirit of individuals. Intrapreneurship is natural to most

people. We are born with the innate characteristics of curiosity, ambition,


66 Victoria C. DePaul

agility, creativity, and tenacity —all necessary components of intrapre-

neurship. Organizations that can effectively assist employees with under-

standing negative energy will be successful in establishing a culture where

innovation and passion abounds. Those that do not will experience either

a wide array of personnel problems or high turnover rates as employees

rebel against the natural desire to experience themselves as the creative

spirits that they are.

Chapter 9

Cause < > Effect

Plans or ideas are powerful, potent; they are the causes - good, bad, or indifferent, of

the following effects, which in turn correspond to their natures. These ideas liberate a

tremendous energy. Hence, when we learn to employ our minds constructively, we use

correctly these hidden powers, forces, and faculties. This…is the key to success in living

life—Raymond Holliwell

Three fundamental forces exist in life that a person must under-

stand to control his life, be powerful, and achieve success, love, happiness,

and joy. The three are Cause, SPace, and Energy. All three are introduced

in this book, beginning with the Cause < > Effect polarity spectrum.
68 Victoria C. DePaul

To change the energy climate of your organization, you must

move its members up the Cause < > Effect polarity spectrum from

Victim to Response-ability.

Cause

Noun: The agent of force and action that effects change. That which

originates, initiates, creates, manifests, decides, determines, acts, forms,

produces, gives, moves, controls, changes, or affects anything. The

positive pole of the Cause < > Effect polarity.

The concept of Cause includes: Will, Power, Force, Creator, Creation, and

Production.

Verb: The action and process of bringing into being or changing some-

thing. The action of originating, starting, creating, controlling, changing,

moving, producing, or affecting something. The action of producing an

Effect.

Cause is Power. Cause is the ability to produce the desired results; it is

your ability to manifest what you want in life.

Effect
Creating the Intrapreneur 69

The negative pole of the Cause < > Effect polarity.

Noun: The influence, change, effect, or result produced by a Cause.

Examples: The effect of a bomb is destruction. The effect of a Quantum

reality on consciousness is experience. Synonyms: result, impact, and

outcome.

Verb (Affect): To cause something, to create an effect, to produce an

effect, to carry out an action to a successful result.

The condition of Effect in people is a condition of no power, no

control, of being affected or controlled by an external cause. This is also

known as the condition of Victim. So far you have seen that you are

Cause. You and every human being is the sole Creator of his Quantum

Experience, which includes identities, thoughts, and emotions. You have

lived to up till now as a Victim of the world in regard to your emotions.

If you understand everything to this point, you are learning that

you are response-able for your emotions. You are no longer the Victim of

events, you are moving to Cause. Only from this understanding, this stand

in life, will you have POWER to control your emotions that are the only

HAPPINESS < > PAIN in life.


70 Victoria C. DePaul

As shown, the basic problem of negative energy in life, whether

inside you, in your family, or in your organization, is that most people

think they are Effect. They believe that external events cause their emo-

tions, their suffering. They also think that externals (including the organi-

zation) should and could cause their happiness—if only they could get

them to behave “right.” This belief of, “I AM NOT CAUSE; therefore I AM AT

THE EFFECT of externals,” is the Fatal IDentity and the Fatal Paradigm.

Together they create the condition of Victim.

You will recall that an identity is a declaration of self. In this case,

the Fatal IDentity is the IDentity I AM NOT CAUSE; I AM NOT CREATOR. In

Creating this IDentity, the person does not stop himself from being a

creator, but he blinds himself to the perception of being Creator. In other

words, he shoots himself in the foot.

The Fatal Paradigm is the natural result and the other side of the

Fatal IDentity. “Given that I AM NOT CAUSE-CREATOR, then externals

things must be.” Thus, the person assigns Cause to external events, which

automatically places him in the position of Effect. The condition of Effect

is the condition of Victim.


Creating the Intrapreneur 71

The Fatal IDentity → Fatal Paradigm starts with the anti-power

IDentity that, “I AM EFFECT AND POWERLESS; externals cause my experi-

ence, my suffering. As I have little power over externals, I am their

helpless and hapless Victim. I AM POWERLESS; externals have the power

over my life.”

This automatically activates the negative emotions of frustration,

anger, rage, resentment, desperation, hate, helplessness, impotence,

sadness, and depression. Furthermore, the person can see no way out,

because from her perspective, she has no power in the situation. Externals

have all the power. Happiness is impossible when a person is in the Fatal

IDentity-Paradigm. What you will get from your employees in this mode

of operation in life is lots of low morale, irresponsibility, laziness, negative

energy, conflicts, and problems. Is any of this happening in your business?

Now get up close and personal—is any of this happening in your life?

To “fix” the Quantum Energy system of a person, which is essen-

tial to “fix” the group energy system of a relationship, a family, or an

organization, you must start by “fixing” where the person is operating on

the Cause < > Effect polarity spectrum and present a way out of life’s

Nuclear anti-power IDentities. You take a person out of Victim by


72 Victoria C. DePaul

showing that she does have control and is response-able. Response-ability

is the midpoint, the transition point between Cause-Power and Effect-

Victim, as shown in the following diagram: Comparison of Character-

istics of Cause and of Effect in people:

Definitions

Proactive: A person who is ahead of events, who foresees consequences

and events and takes action in time to prevent or control the negative

ones and to produce the positive ones. Such a person is at Cause.

Reactive: A person who is behind events, who fails to see things coming

or fails to take action in time to prevent or control the negative ones. A

person who is emotionally reactive to others and events, who activates

easily with the negative emotions such as anger, resentment, guilt, fear,

and sorrow.

As you can see, intrapreneurship demands that you operate at Cause. The

characteristics of Cause listed on page 150 are the same as those that

define an intrapreneur. Employees who are emotionally reactive are at

Effect of their negative energy. A critical first step in moving from Victim

to Cause is awareness—understanding the traits of a Victim. Armed with

this knowledge you will begin to recognize the Victims in your life. What

will be more difficult is identifying the traits of Victim in you and their

negative impact on your Creator ability.


74 Victoria C. DePaul

Every human being operates, at some point, on the Cause < > Effect

polarity scale above. Furthermore, your level changes from situation to

situation. For example, you may be at Cause and creative in your work

world but a Victim in your relationships.

Reflection

1. List the positive events or things in your life, past or present, for

which you acknowledge that you are the Cause.

2. List the negative events or things in your life, past or present, for

which you acknowledge that you are the Cause.

3. For each item above, describe the Effect/Outcome.

4. Identify the Victims currently in your life. By what criteria do you

claim them to be a Victim?

5. Understanding that we can be at Cause in one area of life and at

Effect in another, identify situations in which you were a Victim.

6. In your organization, are most team members operating at Cause

or Effect?

Chapter 14

The Law of Attraction…Revisited

You don’t get what you want in life. You get what you create.

—Thomas Michael Powell.

You now know that all that exists is energy. That energy can be of

the Quantum universe (IDentities, emotions, thoughts, communication)

or it can be of the physical universe. You, the Creator, communicate and

direct that energy in all areas of your life, Quantum or physical. Every-

thing that exists is created twice, first in the Quantum universe (your

visions, ideas, thoughts, emotions, mental creations, etc.), then in your


76 Victoria C. DePaul

physical universe as your HAVE, your results in life. Your life works

according to the Causal Sequence, every time, without fail.

Whether you want it to or not, whether you agree or not is irrele-

vant. Life is energy. Like energy attracts like energy. Positive energy

attracts positive energy. Positive results are the manifestation of positive

energy. You decide whether you vibrate with positive energy or negative

energy. Your vibration, your Nuclear Energy, your BE, is your communi-

cation tool to the universal Life Energy. This is the Law of Attraction.

Millions of people have been introduced to this universal law

through The Secret DVD and subsequent book of the same name. The

Secret and its teachers have been showcased on Larry King, the Oprah

show, and many more. Its popularity continues to introduce the Law of

Attraction to a global audience. While there is much praise for The Secret,

there is skepticism as well.

Skeptics and critics alike continue to ask, “If all we have to do is

hold positive thoughts, why does suffering exist?” Or, “In an abundant

universe, why do poverty, famine, and war exist?” Of course these are

valid questions; I might add essential, as the answers will test your under-

standing of the Causal Sequence.


Creating the Intrapreneur 77

To begin to respond to these questions let’s begin to make some

observations. We all know stories of extraordinary people who came from

humble, sometimes “tragic” beginnings. While many people who are born

into poverty may remain in poverty there are many who will find success.

How does a black girl born to unwed teens in Mississippi in 1954 survive

childhood molestation, teen pregnancy, and move on to become the

richest woman in the world? Consider Meshach Bondzie of Abeka,

Ghana, who runs the Professional Secretarial Academy in order to give

uneducated women an opportunity for employment. Why has no one else

in this town addressed this need? What is it that makes these people

champions while so many more remain Victim to their circumstances?

The answer should be clear by now—it is the ectropic LIFE ESSENCE

ENERGY that these people possess. History is replete with examples of

heroes and sheroes who have not only survived adversity but somehow

managed to transcend it. No doubt you can look within your own circle

and name individuals who have accomplished the same.

Those who are familiar with The Secret might suggest that these

people are the product of positive thinking. These people were able to

create positive thought patterns and therefore create their success stories.
78 Victoria C. DePaul

At a cursory glance you are correct. But consider the Causal Se-

quence. Your thoughts (THINK) come in the middle of the Sequence. If

thoughts and imagery were the key to creating happiness and success,

then why do so many people remain in suffering and poverty? Why don’t

these people just “think” themselves out of poverty? What about you?

How much change have you been able to create with visualizations and

affirmations? Or have you found that after a week or two you abandon

the process? Understand that this is not a criticism of these practices but

an explanation that there is much more to the process than most people

realize.

In order to create the HAVE you desire you must go beyond the

THINK and back up to the beginning of the sequence, the BE. This is

what many people missed as they watched The Secret. Yes, your results in

life flow directly from your thoughts; however, you must fully understand

where your thoughts come from. Your thoughts are made of your Quan-

tum THINK, which include your programs, paradigms, shoulds and

should not bes, beliefs, and ideas. Those who paid more careful attention

as they watched The Secret understand that manifestation is more than your

thoughts; they understand that what we really want is an experience of


Creating the Intrapreneur 79

HAPPINESS. With the knowledge in this book you can now understand

more deeply how the Law of Attraction works.

While your visualizations and affirmations assist you in stating

your wants, it is through your IDentities that you communicate your

desires to the universe. You can affirm, visualize, and think positive

thoughts to your heart’s content, but unless you work on your BE to

increase and maintain your positive LIFE ENERGY, you cannot get the

results you want. Your visions are powered, either positively or negatively,

by your Nuclear Energies. If you take a closer look at people who have

overcome their circumstances you will see that those who succeed at

creating the positive outcomes they desire are living on the positive pole

of the Nuclear Energies. These people are examples of the positive LIFE

ESSENCE ENERGIES of WISDOM, POWER, and VALUE. I’m sure you can think

of at least one child born into poverty who expressed the IDentities of I

AM POWERFUL, I AM SUCCESSFUL while others expressed I AM WEAK, I AM A

FAILURE. What shows up in life for these children manifests itself as the

energy that they attract. Why the positive LIFE ESSENCE ENERGY appears to

be stronger in one child over another is based on several factors, none of

which will be addressed here. What is critical for your understanding is


80 Victoria C. DePaul

how the Causal Sequence works and the knowledge that you have control

over the process.

You control the process by:

1. Understanding that the Law of Attraction begins with the en-

ergy—Nuclear Energy—that you communicate to the univer-

sal Energy.

2. You are Creator in your universe.

3. The universe is a neutral energy field. It does not recognize

should or should not be.

4. Manifestation (HAVE) is a direct result of the Quantum En-

ergies (BE, FEEL, THINK, RELATE) that you put forth, al-

ways originating in your BE.

A common example that I hear frequently is “I can’t afford it.”

Now apply this affirmation to the steps above. You are Creator so the

universe will respond to whatever you communicate. The universe exists

to allow you to “Create” whatever you choose. Since it is neutral there is

no should or should not be. In other words, it makes no difference to the

universe whether you are creating prosperity or poverty. In this example,

you are communicating a negative IDentity (BE) of I AM POOR followed


Creating the Intrapreneur 81

by the thought “I can’t afford it.” You are energizing the negative out-

come of what you don’t want instead of the positive outcome that you

seek to experience.

The universe now readily sets out to affirm back to you the uni-

verse as you have created it. It will begin to manifest all sorts of HAVEs

to affirm your creation of poverty. Perhaps you will lose your job, your

stock values will decline, or you will suffer an unexpected expense—the

power train in your car malfunctions three weeks after the warranty

expires. You can decide to chant positive affirmations about abundance

but these will have little impact as long as your IDentity, your BE, remains

I AM POOR. Your primary communication to the universal energy is

through “Who I BE.” Your THINK → DO → HAVE will follow based

on this initial communication.7

7 Many people respond that they don’t know how to change this IDentity. They will
respond that this is the reality of their situation. I suggest that you begin by first
accepting response-ability for your situation. Accept that you are Creator and create a
new reality. Begin with “I choose to spend my money in other ways,” every time you are
tempted to say “I can’t afford it.” Notice how this shifts the energy away from Victim
and toward Cause. Begin to notice your negative self-talk in all areas, specifically looking
for and eliminating Victim verbiage. Look for the negative IDentity behind these
statements.
82 Victoria C. DePaul

In a recent business meeting many of the group members voiced

their concern that the competition has to be eliminated. Can you recog-

nize the negative IDentities that could be at the root of this program?

Possibilities include WE CAN’T COMPETE (ANTI-POWER), WE ARE MEDIOCRE

PERFORMERS (ANTI-VALUE), WE DON’T HAVE THE TALENT TO SUCCEED

(ANTI-WISDOM).

We have already seen that groups, families, and organizations (en-

ergy systems) also operate according to the Causal Sequence. The IDenti-

ties of energy systems present themselves as the collective BE; the

following areas of the sequence flow from here. Consider a country at

war. If the collective BE of a country or national energy system is WE ARE

WEAK, the collective FEEL is fear. This anti-power energy then creates the

negative Causal Sequence that results in conflict. Like energy attracts like

energy, whether that energy is positive or negative.

So, in response to the skeptics who question why suffering exists

in an abundant and benign universe, begin to observe the Causal Se-

quence of individuals and group energy systems. If you look deep enough

you are sure to find ANTI-ESSENCE staring you in the face. Can anything be

done about this? Absolutely. The first step is to begin to see how the
Creating the Intrapreneur 83

Causal Sequence is at work in our own lives. Taking this first step allows

us to see how our own negative Nuclear Energies are at work and how we

can begin to move into the positive polarity of Nuclear Energy. Once we

become adept at understanding our own Causal Sequences we can begin

to see them at work in others.

We can begin the work of assisting others in bringing more

ESSENCE into their lives whether at home, at play, at work, or in the local

or global community. That is what social entrepreneur Meshach Bondzie

is doing in Africa: challenging the women of Ghana to release their

IDentity of I CAN’T LEARN. In doing so he is an agent of positive change

as he begins to shift the Causal Sequence of his community. Whether as

parent, teacher, neighbor, entrepreneur, or intrapreneur, each of us has

the opportunity to be a positive agent for change in ourselves and in each

other. We are always at Cause. We cannot not create. All thought is

creative, and you receive what you THINK…which flows from who you

are. You don’t get what you want in Life, you get what you create…and

what you create is who you are (BE). What we choose to create is the key

to our individual and collective HAPPINESS in Life.


84 Victoria C. DePaul

The Universal Laws of the Quantum Universe

All That Exists is Energy:

All forms of energy fall into one of six classifications:

BE → FEEL → THINK → DO(RELATE) → HAVE

BE, FEEL, THINK, RELATE are all Quantum Energies.

Polarity:

Both poles of a polarity must exist. Life is polarity.

You can’t have one pole without the other. Without both poles, experi-

ence does not exist.

Resistance Causes Persistence:

To resist negatives is to resist Life as it is and must be.

Existential Imperative:
Creating the Intrapreneur 85

The only motivation of all persons is their own happiness. The ultimate

motivation of life is more and more positive energy and less and less

negative energy.

The Causal Sequence of Life:

Life works according to the formula

BE → FEEL → THINK → RELATE/DO → HAVE

It is a causal sequence because each element determines the following

ones. Everything in your life falls into one of these areas.

Happiness is how you FEEL and only how you FEEL. Happiness

is a positive FEELing:

Happiness is your experience of positive emotion. Negative emotion is

the only Unhappiness, Pain, or Suffering (UPS) that exists.

Your Emotions Are Never Caused By External Events:

Every person is Cause of their own Quantum Experience. Nothing

outside of you, nothing external causes your happiness or pain.

What Is, Is. What Ain’t, Ain’t:


86 Victoria C. DePaul

Unhappiness, pain, and suffering are never What Is, but rather your

emotional resistance to What Is (to reality).

All energies, whether physical or Quantum, are either ectropic or

entropic.

Ectropy is the intelligent, causal, organizing force that combines and

synergizes energy to create ever more powerful systems. Another name

for ectropy is Life. Entropy is the decaying force that moves to disrupt

and downgrade energy systems into chaos and collapse. In reference to

Quantum Human Energy, the positive emotions are ectropic, whereas the

negative emotions are entropic. In terms of polarity, Life (Ectropy) < >

Matter (Entropy). The difference between Life (You, BEing) and Matter

(e.g., rock) is the Life Energies of WISDOM, POWER, VALUE, and

HAPPINESS.

Life Energy is really but one energy consisting of the four modulations of

WISDOM, POWER, VALUE, and HAPPINESS.

A BEing, whether a plant, animal, or human is a Life Entity and so has

some degree of these four Life Energies. These Life Energies are non-

physical. They are the Quantum Energies of Life-Spirit, the four Nuclear
Creating the Intrapreneur 87

Energies of BEing. To BE-FEEL more and more of the positive polarity

of these Nuclear Energies, the most powerful energies on earth, is the

ultimate motivation of all human effort and behavior.

Your emotions are your positive or negative emotion for yourself,

according to the Nuclear IDentity you adopt in relation to an event.

Your emotions show you—and everyone around you—who you are

BEing. If you are in positive emotions, you are BE-FEELing your Self as

WISE, POWERFUL, or VALUABLE. If you are in negative emotion, you are

BE-FEELing yourself as foolish, weak, or unworthy.

Your word is law in your personal universe:

Your point of Power in life is that you can control who you are via your

Nuclear IDentities. You can eliminate the negative Nuclear IDentities and

create and energize the positive ones to make them your permanent

experience.

Cause is Power:
88 Victoria C. DePaul

Cause is the ability to produce the desired results; it is your ability to

manifest what you want in life. You are either at Cause (power) or Effect

(Victim).

The condition of Cause/Power begins with the declaration of

response-ability:

Response-ability is the ability to act. To act is to be in a condition of

consciousness of Cause, including when experiencing the negative effects

caused by others. Response-ability is any condition of possibility of action.

Suffering is impossible without first creating “bad”:

Each person is the sole creator of “bad.” While many events may indeed

be negative, the opinion of “bad” is subjective. Your negative emotions

are your resistance to “bad” things and events.

You can’t control reality by dealing with illusions:

You cannot expect to control the world in order to control your IDenti-

ties. The world has no response-ability to conform to your programs, your

ideas of how it should be.

SPace is nothingness; the absence of all energy:


Creating the Intrapreneur 89

Emotionally, SPace is the absence of activations, of all negative emotional

energy. Mentally, SPace is the absence of all mental illusions, interpreta-

tions, personalizations, programs, “bads” and polarizations. SPace is

acceptance of What Is, As It Is.

Energy Flows to SPace:

Energy that is allowed to flow without resistance moves up the energy

frequency spectrum from negative toward positive.

Ego Activates Ego:

Ego, a negative energy behavior, will always provoke resistance, ego and

sabotage in others. Ego is an attempt to compensate NIRs. Ego is all

forms of intent to elevate BEing by invalidating others.

The Law of Attraction:

Life works in accord with the Causal Sequence. All that exists is energy,

including your visions. What shows up in Life is dependent on the quality

of your BE. Your visions are energized by your positive or negative BE,

your statement to the universe of “Who You Are.” As the universe is

neutral and does not recognize shoulds and should not bes, what you
90 Victoria C. DePaul

manifest can be either positive or negative. You always get what you

create, which may not be what you desire.

The Creed of the Intrapreneur

In all that I do, in all that I say—indeed in all that I AM—I

actualize my innate LIFE ESSENCE ENERGIES of WISDOM, POWER, VALUE,

and JOY. My livelihood is yet another way for me to express my Cham-

pion Being: “Who I Am.” I show up in the universe as the full expression

of my level of accountability, integrity, tenacity, honesty, response-ability

and creativity. My results in work and play—and therefore life—are

dependent upon the extent to which I infuse my spirit, my Self, into all I

do. Through my business endeavors I present myself as Champion in my

communications, actions, and results through the following:

1. Ingenuity: I have the creativity to come up with new and inno-

vative ideas and cherish the opportunity to implement them and encour-

age others to do the same.


Creating the Intrapreneur 91

2. Risk: I am comfortable with taking risks and accepting all pos-

sible outcomes. I understand that falling down isn’t failure but staying

down is a show-stopper.

3. Planning: I establish objectives and create a plan for accom-

plishing them with self-discipline, organization, and prioritization.

4. Commitment: Once a goal has been determined I have the re-

siliency to stay focused on the desired end result.

5. Autonomy: I am comfortable taking the lead on a project and

working independently if need be. I see challenges as welcome opportuni-

ties for personal expression of Self.

6. Business Analysis: I am able to analyze and evaluate data in-

dependently in order to make effective and accurate decisions. I have the

knowledge and confidence to implement effective strategies to manage

the resources available to me.

7. Leadership: I can establish a clear vision of our business objec-

tives and have the ability to instill this vision in my teams. I understand

that leaders inspire, managers prioritize, and supervisors direct. As an

intrapreneur I may, at times, do all three.


92 Victoria C. DePaul

8. Business Knowledge: I have the skills and desire to manage

my team(s) or department(s) as both independent and interdependent

organizations. Where my knowledge is incomplete I find other resources

and people to fill in the gaps.

9. Relational Skills: I am an effective two-way communicator of

ideas, instructions, and enthusiasm. I understand that people are the

greatest asset of the company and essential to achieving organizational

goals. I look for and create opportunities to help others succeed.

10. I Am the Cause of my experience. All of it. Circumstances, people,

and events, whether positive or negative, show up in my life for the sole

purpose of providing me the opportunity to express my Creator Self. I

welcome all opportunities to do so.
