The Stream of Life

This blog gets an "E" for effortless!

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  -Jesus

I can see why many cultures of old revered the Sun as their God.  The plants of Earth reach for this solar being without any thought.  With an effortless impetus, they grow in splendor.  It is the same with us.  Find that true desire, that blazing Sun in your personal sky, and grow toward it.

The way toward the Sun can grow cloudy.  The rain may deluge your “plans” for 40 days and 40 nights.  If your ark is strong, you will one day arrive in a new world.  The rain is there to wet your passion, to feed all you’ve planted.

Go with the ever-flowing current of Life’s moving stream.  Only when we hold on to the rocks or fight the “current” moment does the stream beat us up.

Yes, your parents, your teachers and your peers have taught you that fighting the stream is noble and will win you accolades.  “How much stress can you handle?”  Worry, fear, doubt, guilt and such are jagged rocks in the stream.  Let go!

Everything you desire is downstream! 

The lily does not struggle to be an oak tree, because other lilies said so.  If it did, surely this struggle would deprive the lily of the energy it needs to blossom.

Spring is the season of new beginnings, and the rain surely comes.  Summer is the season of growth, when the world reaches for the Sun.  In autumn, the rewards are harvested.  In winter, there is rest.

Spring is upon us.  The rains of spring will surely feed the stream.  Ride the current.  When the water is calm, it will signal you to row.  Rapids will ensue.  Waterfalls will take you to new levels.  The sights will amaze you!  Eventually.....

The stream will lead you to the ocean!

Enviro-Mental

 Going green, seeing red!

For the past few years, there’s been a barrel full of hubbub about the irreversible damage humankind is doing to our fair sister – Earth.  The old adage use to be that if you want to keep your friends, don’t talk religion or politics.  I believe it’s safe to say that we can add “the environment” to that list!  Well, take a deep breath of your air of choice, because in the words of Bob Marley:

Every little thing.....is gonna be alright.

In the late 90’s / early 2000’s, I was still in my idealistic twenties.  My very close friend, and poet supreme, Bret Duncan and I would perform spoken word at coffee shops and events, throughout the Cincinnati area.  I was full force, hell-bent on changing the world, one mind at a time.

Punk Skot

Torrents of cleverly crafted outrage would blast forth in sardonic measure, as I thumbed my nose at the bastard, offspring culture created by the establishment.  I felt, or rather thought, I was educating the masses on the horrors of slave labor camps, the meat and dairy industry, and other such evils.  My favorite sewage to sling involved pointing out that humans had become robotic, self-serving drones.  My blood boiled at the blasé, nonchalant way in which those around me viewed the atrocities of the world.  “As long as it’s not in my backyard!” seemed the prevailing mindset.

Then it happened.  I was in the woods enjoying a Rainbow Gathering (a hippy happening).  I was going off on some random corporation with environmental angst.  A guy, not much older than myself, tried to make me see the redundancies of fighting “the wrongs of the world” with massive amounts of negative energy and focus.  I was using my breath to blow out a huge fire.  This was merely feeding the flames.  I didn’t get it.  I was convinced that if I enlightened enough people, we could all blow out the fire at once.

A decade later, I get it.  Ironically, now that it’s in their own backyards, I see so many people with the intense opposition to the system that I wanted to see ten years ago.  Bret and I can still have a good chuckle about this.

As I near the forty year-old marker, it’s not that I’ve settled down.  It’s simply that I’ve turned off our cultural distractions long enough to give meditative contemplation to the forces that create personal reality.  I’ve thus far surmised that the energy we put out, via our focus of attention, shapes our lives, even on a physical, global scale.

A child will tell you that what you feed grows bigger.  Whatever it is that you want to grow bigger – feed that!  Whatever your vision of paradise on Earth, start to acknowledge it in little pieces.  Springtime is nearly upon us.  Hear the birdsongs in the morning.  Notice the variety of colored tulips.

This is not turning a blind eye toward the harsh realities of a bleak future.  This is opening our eyes to the perfection of moments that lead, one after another, through the gates of infinity!  If that sounds too mystical and flakey for you, how about:

Turn your attention toward solutions, not problems!

There, there, you’re safely back on Earth.  Now, take a deep breath of crisp, clean, fresh air, because every little thing.....is gonna be alright!

Thanks, Bret.
Thanks, hippy guy.
Thanks, Bob Marley.
Thanks, tulips!

The Secret 4 Realms of the Law of Attraction: The Mental Realm (Part 2)

I think, therefore, I am.....thinking.

Step #3:

Change the Blueprints.  Go down the list and write an opposing viewpoint for every belief.  For example, if you wrote: "I am overweight, because everyone in my family is overweight.",  an opposing viewpoint would be: "My weight is my decision.  I have the power to choose whether or not to be overweight."  This exercise will reveal to you that you truly do have choices.

YOUR POWER IS IN YOUR ABILITY TO CHOOSE YOUR REACTIONS!

Someone recently asked me: "How can I believe that a thought vibration actually leaves my head, journeys into the Universe, and causes events to occur a certain way?"

Does it seem too...unrealistic?

Consider two people.  The first person, Bob, believes that everyone in the city is mean-spirited, rude and obnoxious.  As a consequence, he travels through the city with his antennae ready, waiting for others to behave this way.  Soon enough, Bob encounters a disgruntled passerby and grumbles, "See, didn't I tell you people in the city are mean?!!!"  Pleasant people are certainly there, but they escape his attention.

Bob does this to justify his thoughts.   He is caught in a loop. Until Bob consciously realizes this,we call his thoughts "unconscious".  He remains cloaked amidst a tailor-made, self-fulfilling prophecy.  These thoughts affect his body posture, the words he uses, even his actions.  Is it no wonder that later in the evening Bob finds himself in the middle of a fight?

We'll call the second person "Adam".  Adam has always believed that people in the city are fun and exciting!  Upon Adam's metropolitan journey he observes others behaving friendly, cheerful and inviting.  He pays no heed to the unhappy or miserable.  With these thoughts, Adam holds his body much differently than Bob.  His words and actions are also more open, not as defensive.  He even has a greater range of emotional possibilities.  As a result, Adam finds himself invited to a party later that night.  This is Adam's self-fulfilling prophecy.

Sure, these two examples are super-simplistic.  That is the point - to make it clearly understood: Bob's thoughts attracted to him the experience of a fight.  Adam's thoughts attracted to him the experience of a party.

A friend recently mentioned to me that he had taken up the guitar.  With youthful wonder he recalled how he had just learned to strum an E chord.  "There is so much you can do with just that one chord!" he declared.  I made it clear to him that this type of thinking would yield a much different outcome than if he were to think, "Urrrrgh! All I know is this one stupid chord!"  He understood that depending on his attitude, his basic approach to the guitar, there exists a choice between many types of guitarists which may emerge from within.  "Yes!" I enthusiastically stated, "This is how it is for all of us, in every moment!"  This is how thoughts attract experiences.

Our thoughts set off chain events.  These are ripples extending into the vast sea of energy in which we are immersed.  The movement of any fish sends underwater currents that change the structure of the entire ocean.  The butterfly effect.  If any of this seems too logical or obvious, than maybe we can allow the idea that, "Thoughts attract experiences." to become part of our collective awareness.  Shall we place it in the file marked "Common Sense"?

The Secret 4 Realms of the Law of Attraction: The Mental Realm (Part 1)

Are these the blueprints I requested? 

The mind is like a file cabinet.

INGOING: All information is labeled and stored away.

OUTGOING: As situations occur, we reach into this file cabinet to determine our reactions.

The ability of the mind is a gift.  It is a survival mechanism.  The mind identifies, "There is a hot stove."  The file marked "stove" is instantly pulled out.  Your brain warns you that if you touch the stove, it will burn you.

For ages the mind has been compared to a knife.  It is a useful tool, but can cause harm if misused.  When a person identifies "who they are" with their mind, it becomes baggage, issues, ego - whichever you prefer.  It replaces all intuitive ways of approaching Life.  One becomes a robot.  People tend to perpetuate this way of being out of fear.  Another term for this file cabinet is the "subconscious mind".  The subconscious holds the blueprints for all that you experience.  The mind retrieves these files for use.

When Cindy was a child an adult told her that money is bad.  As with everything, she stored this thought in her subconscious.  The adult repeated it again, and again, and again.  In time, this information became a very thick file in her subconscious.  Now she's an adult.  When money situations occur, her conscious mind reaches into the files of her subconscious mind and responds with the belief that, "Money is bad."  Cindy wonders why she remains broke.

This same pattern applies to EVERY aspect of Life!  Basically, your subconscious is crammed with blueprints that may be serving you or going against your desires.  The wonderful part is that in any moment we can rewrite our blueprints to reflect our desires!

Here's how:

(Even if you don't choose to follow these three steps, I encourage you to read them for some priceless wisdom.)
 
Step #1:

Identify the Blueprints.  Okay, here comes the standard "write it down" exercise.  It's a classic because of its effectiveness.  Choose an area of your Life in which you would like to see your desires fulfilled.  Money, relationships, health, career, self-image, you name it.  Let's say you've been looking for Love in all the wrong places.  Write down all of those limiting beliefs about Love, which you've been carrying around.  "All the good men are taken."  "Women only want you for your money."  "Love doesn't come easily."  "Who would want me? I'm too unattractive, old, boring...etc."  After you have compiled your list, DO NOT reread it as a whole!  Set it aside for step #2.

Step #2:

The Blueprints are not You!  Any blueprints you have formed are a composite of a lifetime of incoming information from your family, friends, teachers, classmates, coworkers, the media, and other environmental influences.  Your hard drive has been continually programmed from birth. The grand paradox is that these influences are merely reflections of you!.

Take your list from step #1 and turn it face down in front of you.  DO NOT turn it over until you realize with your heart that THIS IS NOT YOUR BLUEPRINT!  You do not have to claim this blueprint any longer!  The list in front of you is a patchwork of what others in your Life have believed.  Some would protest that it is in their "nature" to be a certain way.  "Human nature" is only a thought, feeling or action that has been repeated so often that it has become "human habit".  When you attain some level of peace that the thoughts on this list do not belong to you, it is then time to turn over the piece of paper.  Allow a sense of detached freedom resulting from your new awareness.

Returning to the Void

There's no place like home!

Whether we call It “God, the Universe, a Higher Power, Jah, Ra, Allah, or Rama-lama-ding-dah”, a cosmic energy force brought you out of the void, and you may return at any time.  For a relatively brief moment, you exist in this reality – a mere, flickering spark in relation to infinity!  This cosmic energy force whips up stars out of dark space and un-ending galaxies of magnitudes incomprehensible.

Here you are, perceiving all of this wonder in the blink of an eternal eye, before returning to the void.  Now, take a look at the objects in front of you.  POOF!  There they are, in their entire splendor.  At one time, this blue ball we live upon was a confluence of chemical reactions floating through space, and now, VIOLA!  There is a computer at your fingertips!

The point I wish to make is that this cosmic energy force at the center of existence, which has propelled everything into being, and which is a part of all that is, has also made you!

Seven questions:

What is your part in all of this?

Do you remember actually, physically, on purpose growing the brain inside your skull?

Do you remember forming the branches on the tree outside your window?

So.....which is inherently you, the brain or the tree?

Can you answer these questions before it all returns to the void, and NONE of it is you?

Hold on, if I return to the void and none of it is me, does that mean that right now, ALL of it is me?

Hmmm.....Hasn’t that concept been the basis of most spiritual precepts since the beginning of recorded history?

(Might be worth a thought or two.) 

Disclaimer:  Even the fact-finding quantum physicists inform us that it’s all relative based on the perception of the observer.   

Perceive on!

Is 2012 the End?

The end, my ass!

Hooooooweee!!!  There's a mighty lotta talk about this subject!  And it's still a couple of years away!

The general thought is that the Mayan prophecies predict the world will "come to an end" in December of 2012 (I've read everything from the 2nd to the 31st of December.)  Those who fail to look no deeper into the matter, than from their entertainment center perches, have no idea what this event is truly about.

Would it surprise you to learn that a more accurate date is October 28, 2011, more than a year earlier than the 2012 date?

Were you aware that the Mayans were not measuring time as we know it, but were most interested in aligning states of consciousness with the creative flow of the Universe?  Puts a different spin on what "the end" is about, doesn't it?

Did you know that each step on a Mayan pyramid represents an evolutionary shift of consciousness that has occurred, and will occur, on Earth?  They placed The Big Bang happening in the same "time" frame that scientists now estimate it actually took place!

For a mind-blowing, beginner's crash course on the subject, please watch the series below.  When finished, you will have a very thorough grasp of the wonderful possibilities before us!
 

Thank you, dearly, sincerely Ian Xel Lungold - R.I.P.

The Secret 4 Realms of the Law of Attraction: The Emotional Realm

You feel me?

Look out!  You have all of these desires coming at you from the spiritual realm.  Often, at lightening speeds!  Life delivers thousands of choices at your feet, every day.

Which ones help you best fulfill your purpose?
Which ones keep you stuck in the same old patterns?
Which ones bring you the "good" things in Life?
Which ones bring you pain?
Which ones are ethically right or wrong?

My friend, you have been blessed with a wonderful tool.....

The Internal Guidance System!

Here's how it works.  When the force of a desire moves into you, it causes an energy we call "emotion".  This energy of emotion fills your body with sensations.  The sensations are the meter you read to guide yourself along the path.  Functioning from this inner awareness is our natural state of being.  Only when the mind interferes and overrides this process, with its fearful judgments, is there any confusion.  The mind is only there to translate.

Try this simple exercise, you can use in any moment:

Sit back, and think of something you want.  Make it something you REALLY, REALLY want!  Visualize yourself getting it.

Is there an expanding in your chest?
Do you feel that tingly wave in your body?
Does a joyful smile or nod appear?

Love, joy, passion, exhilaration, and gratitude are just some of the signals that this desire is worthy of your attention.  Each individual has their own inner metal detector beeping when there is gold.  It has been called "intuition" - that gut feeling.  Theses signals may come to each of us in our own unique way, but the process is the same.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, when you consider a desire that goes against your true self, you start to get those not-so-good sensations.

Maybe your chest sinks.
Your body tightens.
Breathing becomes shallow.

Anger, fear, depression, worry and doubt are just a few examples of these negative signals.

Whatever your signals are, you can just FEEL when something isn't right.  This is your internal guidance system using a little tool called "stress" to make you turn around and head in the other direction.  This is our instinct.

Animals do not have the type of reasoning mind that humans possess.  They are ruled by their internal guidance system.  It is a tool that serves them very well, indeed.  Although they may not express all the emotions our reasoning minds easily interpret, they feel a spectrum of emotion that relates to ours.  This is our connection to them.

To put all of this very simply...How do you feel?  Is there joy surrounding your desire?  If so, move in THAT direction!  If not, reevaluate the situation.

Rooty REALLY, REALLY wants to own a coin shop, but is worried about taking the risk.  His internal guidance system is telling him not to move in that direction.  This doesn't mean that his desire to own a coin shop is "bad".  It means that this desire will not manifest, in a fulfilling way, with worry surrounding it.  At this point, if he is paying attention, his primary desire would be to explore his fear of risk-taking.  (Don't worry, Rooty gets his coin shop.)

Now you can see why it has been referred to as "the internal guidance system".  Your E-motions are that beeping sound within.  Allow your E-motions to guide you to your success.  As it has been said by poets, prophets and Mamas...

FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

To summarize:

The force of desire enters you through the Spiritual Realm.  Its energy is absorbed through the Emotional Realm.  The byproduct is an E-motion.  That energy is then filtered through the blueprint of the mind (Mental Realm).  As energy attracts like energy, it is then manifested in the Physical Realm.
