Strongest of the Strong – Awakening

There is a shift in the air. Can you feel it? I do.

Many religions and cultures have a story about this time and the changes that are imminent. I don’t know which ones are true. I only know what I feel – with my senses and my Soul. I see it like a shimmer in the air around me; the trees vibrate with aliveness. I hear the Voice within with more clarity and depth. I touch from a distance now… before my skin makes contact, I am “in” contact. My Soul rejoices, calling me in jubilant tones to continue.. continue.

The stories I hear tell me of Earth changes and hard times and many deaths for ‘unbelievers’. The stories attempt to describe the undescribe-able: a world changed beyond what has ever been before. The stories say to prepare; to gather resources and be ready to live without modern convenience.

The stories evoke fear.

But all that I experience evokes vitality and awakening. Continue reading “Strongest of the Strong – Awakening”

I’ve Been Watching Politics

politics, solutions, law of attraction, vortex of attraction — Watching Politics

At first, it was an exploration into Perspective. Listening to viewpoints of divergent philosophy, I learned these ideologies are the filter through which ‘reality’ shapes itself. It doesn’t matter what the event is, any particular point-of-view interprets the meaning and solutions according to its basic premise of belief. At first, intrigued by what the fundamental concepts of each ideology were, I listened to the dialogues on cable TV news to learn.

Then, I wondered if the discussion between different perspectives – say liberal and conservative – ever influenced each other to evolve. That, I speculated, would be the value of all the discourse I watched. Over time, I realized that – not only did dialogues not shift through discussion – they actually grew so repetitive I could fill in the words myself by using the catchy phrases and pithy rhetoric that each side of an issue relies upon to elaborate their position.

Indeed, the only changing variable I noted was the emotional tone. From even-handed to sarcastic and all the way to outraged, politicians and pundits alike seemed to vary their speeches in feeling volume rather than development of concepts. I came to the conclusion that an evolution of substance could only come through stepping out beyond the ideologies and their limitations of bias. Continue reading “I’ve Been Watching Politics”

Abiding in Grace – Life in the Vortex

Some days I don’t have much to say. Some days, I just bebop through without deep insight or wisdom on which to hang my sense of self. Some days, I strive to understand and explore meaning. I used to think I had to be witty and wise to count for something. I used to believe that; some days I still do.

Today, though, I have a new idea. It’s ok to be diffuse. Indeed, today I believe I hear deeper and absorb more of the silent whispers that Guidance murmurs in the soft fuzziness. Continue reading “Abiding in Grace – Life in the Vortex”

I Walk the Line – of Ho’oponopono

Everything I see is a reflection of me.
Everything I notice shows me who I am.
Everything in me projects out and reflects back in the world around me.

This I read and hear in spirtual, philosophical, and pyschological ideolgies. This I believe and accept in the abstract.

When I attempt to make it more concrete.. When I say that person who I find irritating or frustrating is not the source of my feelings, they are just the screen where I project my feelings. When I say if the economic downturn has impact on me in my Life, then I am seeing the ways I disempower myself and others to thrive. When I say this joy I feel when I play with my filly or snuggle with my Honey is me opening me to the vast wellspring of WellBeing that abides within. …then I am awed beyond comprehension by how connected everything is and made humble as well.

Because if everything I see and feel and experience is in me and part of me, then my choices – all of them – are important. Continue reading “I Walk the Line – of Ho’oponopono”

A Satisfied Mind – In the Flow of Law of Attraction

It’s all happening at the zoo. That’s what Simon and Garfunkel sang. Those were the words anyway. It seems to me, though, that where it’s all happening is in the mind.

Lately, I’ve pondered the qualities of a Satisfied Mind – how does it think differently than a mind that is dissatisfied? I came to this conclusion: A dissatisfied mind struggles. A satsified mind flows.

A Satisfied Mind sharing the same experience with a dissatisfied mind will find more humor and reason to enjoy whatever the circumstance is. A dissatisfied mind will find reasons to want the experience to be different.

At first glance, it may seem that a Satisfied Mind is always preferable to a dissatisfied mind.. that it is always better to relax and let whatever is happening be as much fun as possible. I always thought so..

Defining Wealth – Law of Attraction in Action

Back in the days of my Life as a Streetkid, when I had no money and no place to stay, I hitch-hiked. Someone always fed me. Someone always provided shelter. There was no money in my pocket; still I was my own person making my own decisions, and I felt free. Freedom is a type of wealth.

In the more recent past, I’ve been blessed with ample resources to travel and live with horses and enjoy a very comfortable home and relax into a long-standing, stable relationship. All of my childhood wishes come true. Living my happily ever after. Having lots of dreams is a type of wealth.

A while back, we sat at the Grand Canyon and, as I absorbed the immensity of it, I said, “This is big enough to hold my feelings.” It’s true. I’ve always been a person of many feelings, felt deeply. I swim the deeper currents of emotion, and that is a type of wealth, too.

There are different points in my Life where one or the other of these types of resource is more or less important to me. Continue reading “Defining Wealth – Law of Attraction in Action”

Love – It’s All Law of Attraction

When I was a kid, I couldn’t understand the meaning of relativity no matter how it was explained. Relatives were people associated by birth. That’s what I understood. And when someone would clarify for me that relativity was all ‘relational’, I’d say, “Right. Relatives are relationship.” My mind couldn’t make its way out of the literal to grasp an abstract that used the same syllables.

Similarly, I get lost in the definition of love. It’s a word with alot of street cred. Many of us will do ALOT for love, but what does that mean? When my parents said they loved me, they meant they cared and it mattered to them what choices I made. As long as I made the right choices, I got their approval. With my parents love and approval went together. Continue reading “Love – It’s All Law of Attraction”

In the Midst of a Ripple – Ho’oponopono and The Wings of a Butterfly

There is an Hawai’ian practice called Ho’oponopono. Its premise is absolute 100% personal responsibility. If I observe it, I am responsible for it. If I experience it, I am responsible for it. If you are upset with me, I am responsible for it. If I feel love for you, I am responsible for it. If I am upset by something someone does – whether to me or another – I am responsible for it. Absolute responsibility. In the purest form of Ho’oponopono, the only relationship that is real is the relationship with Self, and the only solution is to dissolve the resistant thoughts and feelings that inhibit love.

As well, there is a current idea based on mathematical probabilities that the slightest action by anyone impacts everything. A butterfly fluttering in one area of the world creates winds in another. An act of violence in Africa impacts the quality of relationships in China. A gesture of kindness ripples through the stratus and touches many more souls than the person being helped. And every action everywhere is influencing something somewhere. Continue reading “In the Midst of a Ripple – Ho’oponopono and The Wings of a Butterfly”

Now – It’s Where Law of Attraction Happens

It’s true. I’m a hippie, tried and true, from ‘the day’. I read Be Here Now and carried it a

law of attraction, ho'oponopono, spiritual awakening

round like my bible for years. I got that – if I could immerse myself fully in the present moment, moment to moment – I’d be enlightened… I just couldn’t ‘get’ how to translate the concept into my experience.

Recently, I’ve come to understand that it was my idea of what “NOW” is that was flawed. I thought “NOW” was my moment to moment experience. Now, I realize that the present moment is actually the state of my thoughts and feelings… what I am experiencing is the result of the thoughts and feelings in my past.

The World Needs Dreamers That Do – Law of Attraction in Action

…or something like that.

Did you ever watch Fraggle Rock? …a half hour puppet show in the 70’s that had several brands of Beings. Amongst them, were Doosiers who lived to build and tear down and move the pieces to build again somewhere new and Fraggles who lived to dream and play all day (and eat the structures Doosiers build).
Both of them were quite happy being who they were, and neither could imagine for a moment having fun as the other. Fraggles felt constricted and constrained by the Doosier consistency and focus. Doosiers were dismayed and anxious to think of a whole day going by with no progress or production.

I watched and laughed and wondered: Which am I? And what if I am a little of both? Continue reading “The World Needs Dreamers That Do – Law of Attraction in Action”
