Sounds funny, doesn't it? Like how could I "be" anything else but me. My very existence is me, right?
I'll say this: Yes, that is correct. At the same time there are aspects of YOU you may be censoring. And, you and YOU know what I'm referring to. When the conversation comes up within you - "Oh, I shouldn't say that." that could be a sign that censoring is going on. And, yes, perhaps when you are in the present moment and aware of much, if not all of what is happening... the people around you that you are censoring yourself for may not be ready for "that" truth or that level of truth. That's fine. That's an intuitive call, or that's a call of discernment. At the same time, ALWAYS remember this life is about becoming the best version of who YOU are. That discernment must fit and serve YOU.
A few quick definitions. When I say "you" that is the "ego" version of YOU processed through your intellectual aspect. So, "YOU" is the magnificent, dynamic, fully connecting energy that resides within your "core". It is limitless and connects with all that is. It navigates the quantum space perfectly and in some way can be a burden for the "you" of YOU. The "you" of YOU may not quite be ready to express YOU!
My point being that just because you suppress a desire to voice something, doesn't mean you are backing from the magnificent YOU. At the same time, there is a counterpoint. And, that is, you are afraid to be that version of YOU!!
Now the truth of the matter. Whether we are ready to recognize and acknowledge it we are ALL aware at some level of the present moment. We are intuiting continuously. Whether "you" wants to acknowledge the magnificence of that varies as our state of being. So, when "truth" is spoken in the present moment "we" all "get" it. We may not like it at the "you" level, but we all get it!! That's the part of us that needs to be "opened". To be able to look at things that are "true" that we do not like. That's where guts comes in. The question becomes, "Do we have the "guts" to acknowledge this and then make shifts that address this. It could be lifestyle changes, changes in our inner conversation, changes in diet... it doesn't matter. What matters is that when we hear the "truth" do we allow it to "resonate" in our being. Do we recognize the connection to YOU. Surely, that is where it resonates. And, as a result, we become more fully aware of who and what WE really are individually and collectively!!
Each time we touch that core within us... we touch that core for ALL of us! Exciting isn't it?

A Few Comments on The Last Blog...
You create your life. One of the points from the last blog was that even if you become aware of or find yourself in a situation that you might have a judgment about, it's where you place your attention that drives your life. So, no matter where you find yourself, once you become aware of your situation you can shift your attention. For instance let's say a person finds themselves living in their car. One conversation that could come up is the judgment, "I'm not making it" or "this is not good". That's perfect. You are in the most powerful place in the universe... you know where you are!! I'm living in my car and "it looks like" I'm not making it. This now gives you choices. And, this is where passion comes in as well. First thing is, be totally honest with your self. Is it worth it? Really.. is it? That answer will well up in you. Oh yeah, I want to be a... whatever it is. What do you know at his point? "This is hard". Yup... in a judgment, yes it is hard. More accurately, "you don't like it." That's fine. Will you keep doing auditions or submitting your work? Yes. You want this. Also, immediately start doing something to shift the attention. Opposites... NEVER, EVER think this is trivial and "sounds" good. It resets your life flow. The trick, if there is one, is to actually get your being to THAT place. So, what's a good opposite - well you were at "I'm not making it..." Notice the "not". The universe, from an attention perspective, only focuses on the key words anyway - "making it"! So, what to do... "I am making it" and "I have done it this 'way' so far". That shifts "this is not good" also.
Don't believe this? Dr. Amen, a cutting edge brain researcher, has done brain scans where he actually can see visually, yes visually, the effect of opposites on the brain. The brain begins to function differently. A friend of mine has chatted with him about this.
The words give access to your being and how your life is flowing, your Qi. Do you want to keep it and your life path flowing from your deepest aspect that you've connected with? Really... it's that simple. Who do you chose to be? I have to use "not" here. It's NOT about the words themselves... they are ONLY telling YOU what is happening energetically for you. The words are your "sign post" of existence. Usually, you only speak words that reflect your state of being. By shifting your words, YOU shift you. By listening to the words you have access to YOU. You must at least start by shifting the words to where you want to "be"... as in your being would like to "be". Saying the words starts that process. But wait there's more... a little more time and they settle in to the point that you do not remember or connect with the previous emotional state. That is when you have fully shifted to the new perspective AND your life shows it to you immediately. Most write this off as my "luck" changed. Well, that would be great in a random universe. The universe is very precise, specific and on purpose.
Now, you are going to ask, "Well, did those performers actually DO THAT? Did they really shift it?" Yes.. they did. How do I know? Well - what happened? How did their life turn out from that point? Now, here's the important deal... they did not need to use any "technique" to get there... somehow... some way... something shifted them... a phone call from a friend... a donated coffee from Wendy's. Doesn't matter how... what matters is they shifted!! Their being unaware of, we'll call it, the "quantum process" makes no difference because they did what they needed to do in their being. They came to a place of "moving" forward. That is all they needed at any given time. What I am providing here is an insight into the mechanics of the shift and a way to manually get there.
The real point of that post was that however anything looks - YOU still get to say!! On this planet, in the words of Henry Ford, "If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right!!" It is THAT simple. And, in the paraphrased words of Pramahansa Yogananda, "You're not beaten until you quit!" He has a great story about a staggering fighter ready to go down, but summons the courage to throw the last punch and knocks his opponent out!! That is a shift of attention - motivated by sheer determination!!
Your life is motivated by your passion and sometimes it just looks like "sheer determination".

It's A Hard Knock Life...or Is it?
Montressa has been a bit quiet this month so she wanted me to talk about dramatic shifts in life! Well, here goes...
I woke up the other day and I was contemplating life changes in people. And I know I post a lot of stuff that sounds like ra..ra... yeah, go for it... you can do it! Like a workout coach...just one more set.. and you've got it.
So... the title came to me from a song from the Little Orphan Annie play and movie...
It's A Hard Knock Life
(Orphan's Chorus)
It's the hard-knock life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!
(Annie)
'Steada treated,
(Orphan's Chorus)
We get tricked!
(Annie)
'Steada kisses,
(Orphan's Chorus)
We get kicked!
(Everyone)
It's the hard-knock life!
Clearly, at this point in her life Little Orphan Annie has her "attention" on how "hard" things are.. BUT we ALL know things will be getting "better" for this little admirable and clever orphan!! Why because her attention was shifting. No matter what the circumstances, she put her attention on the things that mattered for her!
As a point of reference, I decided to research the paths of some people you might recognize..
Let's start with:
Sarah Jessica Parker
Life had it's issues for this Ohio native. In fact, SJP's mom, a teacher, and her truck driver dad had to go on welfare at times to feed their six children -- then the aspiring star got her big break on Broadway at age 13.
How about, Tom Cruise
While Tom Cruise's net worth is somewhere north of $250 million, did you know his childhood was spent living in near poverty? His family moved over 15 times -- even into Canada -- as his father searched for work. As Tom pressed on he got a big "so called" break.
And, you know Jewel
This country crooner readily admits the fact that her childhood wasn't picture perfect. Check this, her childhood home in Alaska didn't even have running water and she and her dad performed in local bars to provide income. What some call "hard work" paid off for Jewel: After she lived in a van while trying to break into the music biz, her first album, "Pieces of You," went platinum 15 times. She's has also sold 28 million records, reportedly earning $30 million to give her son, Kase (who she had with musician hubby Ty Murray), a much different upbringing than hers. Hopefully she has a copy of Annie Burnside's "Soul to Soul Parenting"!!
Want more?
Jim Carrey
When he was a kid, his dad lost his job. The family was forced to live in their car. To help get the family back on track, Jim got a job as a janitor at Titan Wheels Factory in Canada when he was in ninth grade. The year he got that job, he started performing stand-up comedy in local clubs -- which clearly has paid off.
Never forget, Oprah... either
Oprah was a rural Mississippi native. She was raised by her single teenage mom, and later by her dad in Tennessee. Raped at 9 years old, got pregnant at 14 and her infant son died. But, she stayed focused, followed her passion and worked hard and things turned around once she got a gig as anchor for a Chicago news station.
and what about
Hilary Swank
Hilary draws from her life experiences when she's getting into character. For many years her family lived in a trailer park in Washington. Finally, Hilary dropped out of high school to pursue her acting dreams and moved to L.A. with her mom, where they lived in their car. She then booked "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "The Next Karate Kid."
Shania Twain
Shania is a survivor. Growing up in rural Canada, her parents sometimes couldn't afford to feed their kids. Shania taught herself how to hunt and chop wood. She also performed in bars as a young girl to earn family money. When her mom and stepdad were killed in a car accident at 22, she moved home to care for the rest of her siblings for several years before heading to Nashville in 1993 to go for her big break.
J.K. Rowling
In the '90s, J.K. Rowling was a single mom trying to make ends meet. Writing in her little apartment, "Harry Potter" suddenly became wildly popular and her life was transformed forever. These days, she uses her $800 million fortune for good by donating to organizations that help the poor and kids who come from single-parent households.
Now, clearly and I have stated this before, YOUR life path is YOUR life path! It is a private thing between you and yourself. At the same time - a life path is a life path and your life is driven by your internal conversations and your passion!! The possibilities are exactly the same! The ONLY difference is that for YOU they are YOUR possibilities. The above are clear examples of the tenacity it takes... it takes guts to be you... but it is sooo.... worth it!!
Choose to be all of YOU... I endorse this message!!

Speak Your Life and Your World Into Existence...
Since it's THAT time of the year again... you know Christmas and then New Year's resolutions, it is a perfect time to decide what you want in your life or what you want from your life. And, you can start right now. Why wait for the New Year? This way, as the New Year arrives, the gifts to yourself have already been established in the "quantum space". They are established as soon as you "speak" them into existence. You can't have anything until you know what it is that you want. Then you must give up wanting and be willing to have. Whatever is "missing" from our lives is missing because at some level we are unwilling to have it. Sounds funny doesn't it? The mind says - "What? You fool.. look the universe didn't give you that.." Well, now, mind, why is that... you're so good at figuring... you tell me now! Interesting question, isn't it?
So, at this point if mind wants to accept a "random operation" of the universe... its says, "Well, it didn't happen..yet..." The mind could just as well "assume" a perfectly ordered, on purpose universe. That being the case... the answer from mind then is - "Well, dude, or dudess.. YOU just didn't generate it! So, you just weren't there yet."
So, as far as the mind is concerned, there are different points of view. However, the big "you", YOU, "knows" the answer... and as your mind comes into "right" relationship with YOU... it says, "and that's all good... everything is as it needs to be for YOU."
So, words. Start with words. Do you really listen to what you say? What you say will give you the clues you need to have to focus yourself on what it is that you want. Here is an eye opening example: If you find yourself saying "This always happens to me... " Whatever "this" is has a quality to it... and given where your focus of attention is... it will keep happening. Then the question becomes - "Would you rather be right or have your life free of "this" that always happens? Do you see the power of that? Your emotional energy is behind it and you are literally letting it be that way... once you see how that is set up energetically in you, you can see how it shows up like that - ALWAYS. Also, there is a surety in that. A predictableness that your mind loves because you know how it IS. Fact is, it IS not that way!! It IS only that way because YOU have allowed it to be set up that way.
This relates to the post I did about reality... "reality is unreal." Remember? This is part of that discussion. A little different focus, but part of the same thing. The focus here is about creating your reality... and from the post about "the most powerful place in the universe"... you need to know where you are to see and accept what you have and are generating so that you can modify and create your "reality"... the reason I said Reality is unreal - is that it is not a static phenomenon - it is dynamic - you can't say it IS anyway because in any instant YOU can shift it!! It shifts immediately as soon as you do!! Welcome to the quantum space...
So, at this point if mind wants to accept a "random operation" of the universe... its says, "Well, it didn't happen..yet..." The mind could just as well "assume" a perfectly ordered, on purpose universe. That being the case... the answer from mind then is - "Well, dude, or dudess.. YOU just didn't generate it! So, you just weren't there yet."

Healing...breathing...living
Every breath is a choice to live. In each and every breath we take we are making the choice to stay here and stay attached to this body... our body. We take breathing for granted. It is automatic. It "just" happens.... au contraire mon frère... whether we "realize" it and pay attention or just let it happen... it is a choice. This very post is on your journey to enlightenment. It was in mine for sure when I FINALLY realized it!!
So, about the seminar... that's what I learned there about living and healing. Each breath is a choice otherwise you won't be here attached to this body, your body.
So, healing is a choice. You must choose to be healed. And, the healer... they must choose to let "healing" energy pass. All of it is at your choice! No one can heal you. Only you can heal you. Sounds like a lonely universe, right? That is the price of a "free will zone" where each being has totally autonomy in their choices. YOU get to say. What's funny is that very dynamic makes the universe very full. Friends heal you. Healers heal you... the universe is so full. Love, that's what it is full of... love... and the love heals.
At the same time I was surprised at how easily the healing energy passed through me. In my case, the healing energy that healed the person I was healing also healed me. It healed me in a way that was totally unexpected by me. It made me realize how powerful choices are. My choice to let the healing energy pass and the person's choice to be healed. And, the really great aspect was the ease with which it all happened... even THAT was healing. THAT is where I got a full sense of the quantum space... when I saw it and felt it in action. And, yes, it did take paying attention. That environment pulled all of that from me... because I let it. I gave myself to the experience. Exciting isn't it. When you "give" yourself to life you get life, as in life infuses you and you actually get life, as in oh yeah, I get it!!
Healing many times focuses on a "disease". Oh, you've heard it before... dis-ease. A lack of ease, a disruption, a block of Qi. Yes, THAT dis-ease. Well, that's what happens when Qi is blocked!! Trust me... I never thought of myself as a healer, yet there I was... healing. That was the other thing. Training was very fast for me... it came naturally to me. Probably because of my love for people. Did I say probably? See, we need to watch our words. Forget probably... it is because of my love for people. That was hard to recognize in myself. You know that Tesworth bruskness. Yet, even in that bruskness was love. You just had to look for it. Especially in my parents. Good people, but just afraid to show it... to show the love.
As I grew older and learned more, I realized how magnificent people are. They are magnificent, just being people. Oh yeah, we all have "stuff" we are dealing with. The important thing is that you deal with it. That's why you are alive and THAT's how you stay alive. And, as you uncover more of you, you become even more alive!! That is healing. Letting energy flow...

Have What You Have... and Insights
Since Mike started this yesterday, I'm gonna run with it!! "We so many times "rush" to judgment - like if I feel this way or that way I must be a "bad" person and we run away from it. Oh no! I am such a... fill in the blank... I say NO, you are just "feeling" what you are feeling - YOU aren't anything! THAT is how you start to uncover the GOLD in you! Be willing to HAVE what you have."
And, so that is one of the secrets of insights. Be WILLING to have what you have. Then notice what comes up for you in terms of judgments or other feelings. Many times we are not even WILLING to have the feeling because there is an attached judgment. Oh, I don't want to be a bad person so I'm not even going there!! It's okay... trust me... here's the downside, see that German Shepard with his head under the table and his butt sticking in the air... he thinks he's hiding because his eyes are covered!
That's what I'm saying about insights. You enter a crowded room at a party and "feel" funny. Like "maybe" you don't belong. You scan the room for someone you know. Don't see anyone. Behind that is "I'm uncomfortable". Behind that is the idea, "I wish I had stayed home." Behind that is, "I don't know anyone here." Some of that you are making up. Do you really not know anyone there? How did you get invited then? So, insight - when I get uncomfortable I begin to make up stuff that makes me more uncomfortable and instead of resolving the discomfort I want to get away from it.
Suddenly, someone paying attention to the room sees you. He immediately picks up on your discomfort. Why? 1)Because he is paying attention 2) He is willing to acknowledge what's up within himself. He sees you standing there and "knows" from his own pool of insights what you "might" be feeling. So, this guy there noticed this German Shepard with her head under a table and her eyes covered thinking she was hiding. EVEN THAT is an insight... even if I try to cover my feelings someone can pick up on them!! So, he comes over and says - "Hey, you look lost" and laughs to let you know he "gets" your feeling of discomfort and who you are in that moment. Based on your previous insights you know to just be real. "Yeah, Darby didn't tell me so many people would be here!" Now the party "ice" has been broken and at the same time you learned a lot about yourself.
Every moment of our lives hold the keys to who we are. As I said, you must be willing to have what you have. You don't have to believe it... just have it. That's the key. That's why enlightened people will tell you to take yourself lightly. In the duality is the existence of a blended being - Mind, heart and core! As you go deeper and deeper into who you are, you also understand how YOU operate in this quantum space. Hey... it's still a quantum space that is always operating. Always be aware of that.
And, so that is one of the secrets of insights. Be WILLING to have what you have. Then notice what comes up for you in terms of judgments or other feelings. Many times we are not even WILLING to have the feeling because there is an attached judgment. Oh, I don't want to be a bad person so I'm not even going there!! It's okay... trust me... here's the downside, see that German Shepard with his head under the table and his butt sticking in the air... he thinks he's hiding because his eyes are covered!
That's what I'm saying about insights. You enter a crowded room at a party and "feel" funny. Like "maybe" you don't belong. You scan the room for someone you know. Don't see anyone. Behind that is "I'm uncomfortable". Behind that is the idea, "I wish I had stayed home." Behind that is, "I don't know anyone here." Some of that you are making up. Do you really not know anyone there? How did you get invited then? So, insight - when I get uncomfortable I begin to make up stuff that makes me more uncomfortable and instead of resolving the discomfort I want to get away from it.
Suddenly, someone paying attention to the room sees you. He immediately picks up on your discomfort. Why? 1)Because he is paying attention 2) He is willing to acknowledge what's up within himself. He sees you standing there and "knows" from his own pool of insights what you "might" be feeling. So, this guy there noticed this German Shepard with her head under a table and her eyes covered thinking she was hiding. EVEN THAT is an insight... even if I try to cover my feelings someone can pick up on them!! So, he comes over and says - "Hey, you look lost" and laughs to let you know he "gets" your feeling of discomfort and who you are in that moment. Based on your previous insights you know to just be real. "Yeah, Darby didn't tell me so many people would be here!" Now the party "ice" has been broken and at the same time you learned a lot about yourself.
Every moment of our lives hold the keys to who we are. As I said, you must be willing to have what you have. You don't have to believe it... just have it. That's the key. That's why enlightened people will tell you to take yourself lightly. In the duality is the existence of a blended being - Mind, heart and core!

Embrace Who You Are... Embrace the Passsion of YOU
Interesting how we can sometimes overlook the obvious! We have "built-in" natural tendencies, yet our minds want to quantify life differently or evaluate our gifts or more appropriately devaluate our gifts! You know the phrase - "Oh, nobody cares about that!" We look at what people have cared about and then fit ourselves to what's been done. Skate boarding and extreme sports happened because someone said, "Hey, this is interesting. And, I love doing this!" Hmmm... love... that sounds like passion, doesn't it?
My bff, Alex... now there's an interesting person. She loved the thrill of racing and so, just started to race. She was good at it too. And, she didn't race because her dad raced or her dad wanted her to race. She raced because she genuinely liked to race. She followed that inner passion and was one of the few women doing it.
My passion? I love the mystery of life and I want to know more about how lives "happen". My life was interesting, but until I really focused on what mattered to me it was just what I knew. What I had grown up with. Then suddenly it was really in my face! Things happened and explaining them was hard in the context of what I had known. So, that became like a gauntlet from life, in my life. I'm like what was THAT all about! Yet, there was this inner passion that began to drive me. I started to look at myself differently. Oh, in many ways I was the Montressa I always knew, but somehow things were different. I realized life was about something else than the money I had known. It was actually way beyond that and THAT fascinated me. That drove me day to day. And, I kept meeting people who could assist me. All I had to do was be aware of what I wanted and ask. Yes, that easy. My life began to flow. While all the answers in any given instant were beyond my reach, the answers I needed for that part of my life were always there. Why? because I was following my passion! following my bliss!! You've heard the phrase... it really is true. Unfold your life by following your bliss. Hey, and it doesn't have to be a major leap... oh it can be like I eventually did, but it doesn't have to. Have you heard about overnight successes? Yeah, overnight in 20 years. The important thing is to recognize your passion and let it grow in you. You see that's the "problem" I have with western culture. We want instant. We want the cure now! We want enlightenment now! Duh... that is the point. You can HAVE it now, BUT are you READY for it?! You see, you grow into it. You feel into your being. You feel into who you are. Can it come overnight? Yup. Does it have to? Nope! That's the trick. If you go back and look at your life though, you can definitely identify a turning point. A point when you said, "Gee, I love this..." Whatever it is... and your soul smiled... if there IS a trick it is know when your SOUL smiles... that's where enlightenment comes in... in fact it's probably the most important reason for enlightenment. YOUR enlightenment that allows you to be who YOU are!!

A Montressa Views Life Post Interruption for... Entelechy...
Entelechy...
Montressa has not been introduced to this topic as of yet, so as a result I need to address it. A friend of mine, a transpersonal psychologist, introduced me to a Greek word, entelechy. You can look it up on the internet and there are various ways "explained" that the word came about. Basically, it addresses potentiality. Like what Depok Chopra talks about in the "space of infinite potential". However, in my approach to it, the focus is on what already exists that is complete and whole in and of itself. The example given to me was that the fully developed oak tree is the entelechy of the acorn. It is the full realization of the potential that already exists in the acorn. This "concept" captured my full attention immediately when I heard it mentioned. Here's why.
Our fully realized self is the entelechy of who and what we are. Stay with me here... so, everything we are in this moment is already contained within our being both physically and metaphysically. So, the perfection you seek in this human form, you already are!!
Are there "things" in the way? Sure, who put them there? Exactly. WE are in our own way!! Now, here is where the magic is, and that is PERFECT!! THERE IS nothing wrong here!! So, in each moment just as the acorn is still the oak, the OAK IS still the acorn. Just as you are seeking the perfection of you that already exists, the perfection of you that already exists is seeking you in this very moment. Not only that, but check this out... this perfect loving being is the one seeking you. The perfection is seeking and accepting you in a perfect way, just the way you are!! It is like the Jesus of you, the Buddha of you is seeking and accepting you just as you are.
Are you seeing where I'm going... YOU are the perfection you SEEK in this moment. So, am I. We all are striving for a perfection that ALREADY exists!! It is in and of us.
So, the judgments we have about ourselves, and by extension to others because of the mirror thing... are JUST judgments that separate us from what already exists!! And, in spite of these judgments, we are loved and accepted by the perfect being that we are. As we learn to see these judgments for what they are we are brought closer to who we ALREADY are.
To be clear, what this says is that in any moment, we have already arrived. Quantum space. Drop the separation we set up in time and we are there!! This goes back to Montressa's time discussion. What it further says and this is what I find really interesting - is that you can consult with your realized self that is the perfection of who and what you are!! This being, this entelechy of YOU can communicate with you!
Now, is this a "head" trip? To be sure yes, but only if you say so in the sub-space we chose to exist. What if you "just" take this as information? As a possibility in your life. As an exploration of the space of infinite potential that Depok Chopra talks about. Or, is talked about in the movie "What the Bleep..Do We know?"
To give you a further insight here, what separates the acorn from the full oak? Time. How did time get there? We put it there because that's how we do life, right? What happens IF we chose to do life differently? What happens when we meet and become our fully realized self in this moment? And, what happens when we no longer need this moment as a moment? When our awareness allows us to collapse the time slices.
You can see where existence is going. Why? Because I just said it AND you heard it and got it! All is shifting as I write this! Welcome to the new awareness of the quantum space!! Thoughts define this space and operate in this space. They can block energy and keep you from it or they can accelerate you in it... Now here's the real question. Can you sustain that vibration? Can you chose the thoughts that take you there? That becomes the determining factor as to how fast it can manifest. This is true of all things in and of your life. And, remember, fast is only fast because of the way we slice time... we are already there.. otherwise...

Lessons....
I see everthing in this life as a lesson. Meaning we learn from everything that happens. What do we learn? We learn who we are. We learn from our reactions or actions in regard to the lesson. Is there some big meaning behind any one lesson? It may be be a "big" lesson to you, but that is only because your mind has classified it that way. The reason it has classified it that way is that the lesson is "different" than it thought. "Oh wow, I thought..." your mind says... and it's just your mind doing what it was designed to do... think... judge... classify... which is fine. Remember I said to honor your mind, but don't believe it... don't define yourself by what your mind says. So, you had this lesson and your mind wants to "understand" it. Just like it wants to "understand" how the quantum space operates. Like, IF you understand it, it somehow adds something extra to it. I will say, IF you understand the quantum space for instance, it MAY be possible to navigate it more fluently. Okay, great. Still, remember, it is operating constantly. Even as you read this. Even as you are understanding what I am writing. The quantum space operates. The space of all things being possible. The space of all things that are. So, back to lessons... things happen and you get to "deal" with them in your "time slice" universe. This is bringing you to YOU that's all. You can make up whatever story you want around it. Something happens. Your mind looks at it and evaluates it. You have an awareness about it. In that instant, you can trust your mind or accept your awareness about it. As more and more "lessons" happen, you see more and more about what your mind does with them and more and more what your awareness says. This is the path to your self realization. That is all that is happening.

Thoughts...
In your journey in your life you attract "things" to you as a result of your vibration. That is the best way I can say it. So, to simplify it, there is something about you and the way your life is contexted that allows people to be in your space and say whatever it is that they say. You know, it's that whole mirror that we've heard so much about... like attracts like etc. The question then becomes, "What are the uses of thoughts." Thoughts tell you what is happening for you. That is why I see the goal of meditation is to become aware of you. And, of course things will come up and you go Ugh... what the heck is THAT about. Your ego will want to "judge it, classify it, "Wow, that was a weird thought.." That is when you need to focus on YOU. In these golden moments you have choices! That is the power of them... that is the power of knowing where you are. I talked about that in a previous post, "The Most Powerful Place In the Universe". These are ALL assists in our life. The most important thing is to honor what they are. Here's something interesting: Did you ever see sessions where people are hitting pillows expressing an emotion, "I hate you for..." fill in the blank. What happens is these emotions just "sit" until you either honor them by expression or finally realize there are other places where you can put your attention and you just let them go. For instance, "Oh, I see that happened because..." AND, you get FULLY how absurd it is to continue to maintain your attention there. Until this point, it may have been invisible to you.
Also, thoughts can help us direct our life. You will say, "I think I should.." Listen to the words. Do you know it or is it a "nice" idea? I see that as why clearing attention that you are unaware of is so important. Without clearing emotions that you are holding, how will you know what you know and what you think? And there IS a difference. Do you know your name or do you think it? Do you know you have kids or do you think you have kids? It's really that simple.
In starting to utilize ANY of this, start little by little. A post like this can tell you where to start looking, but YOU need to do the work. It is different for each of us. THAT is why we are here. Honor your ego, but don't believe it. It is just an opinion of the mind. Our mind even questions the order of the universe. We say, "That shouldn't have happened.. " What you can say is from your limited perspective, yeah it shouldn't have happened. Guess what? It did AND it is in your awareness space!! How did it get there? Universal accident? There ARE no accidents!! Or, eliminating the negative: the universe is on purpose!
Oh, don't get me started. Yeah, I really want to get started about this! Accidents? Really? What did Einstein say - "God does not play dice with the universe!" Not that he was any expert on life, but he did know and connect with a few things! Accidents? That's how we absolve our responsibility... our lack of awareness. Hey, I'm good with that. We each are where we are and that's fine because it's the judgment of ourselves AND others that creates the need to absolve ourselves. Once we "believe" the judgment we go to "there must be something wrong here.." yes, there is... it's called the universe in operation... but we have the audacity to judge it in our finite wisdom.
So, now when you finish reading this, and turn your attention to the outside world and if it isn't how you "think" it should be, remember it is the way it is and that's fine. Be clear on what you want and attract it to you!! The mere fact that you suspended judgment will begin allowing it to happen.

Let Yourself Dream....
It's your life. If you could have it any way you want it, how would that be? Here's the deal... in order to have ANYTHING you need to know what it is! In detail!! I want a car. Nice. Okay, here's this rusted beater. Okay? Nooooo..... oh, well what did you want? I wanted a Mustang convertible!! Ahh... says the life genie. You turn around and there is this olive drab Mustang convertible with a camouflage roof. Ugh... so you turn to the life genie and say, "camouflage roof! What were you thinking?" I wanted it bright red with a tan roof!! And, a five speed on the floor, with Goodyear touring radials. Ohhhh.... the life genie says... I can do that!!
So, the point is, if YOU don't know or are not clear on what you want - HOW can LIFE, to be more specific, YOUR LIFE, EVER give it to you!!! Duh... Yet, how much of our life do we spend being unclear about what we want. What we do want brings things, people etc. into our lives. So dream, but don't dream from this is pure fiction. Or, if everything goes right ....Or THIS is what I want BUT. Own it. What you "feel" inside, how it occurs to you, is as simple as... I'm getting a glass of water. Dream from this is the reality I want and be prepared to receive it!! You know, my story... heck my life, is set in "if I was rich then I'd be okay!!" Guess what? New set of issues to deal with!! So, be prepared to deal with that which you want.
So, dream and BE CLEAR about what EXACTLY you want. Every detail. And, know that it IS possible to have it. Here's the catch - and the best way I can describe it... remember my last post about time being set in vibrations... well, you must vibrate like what you want. It is like two tuning forks in resonance! How do you get there... be clear, that's how. That clarity sets a "vibration" up in you. You start to become "like" that which you want. If you know what you want then it can clearly arise in you. That is how the law of attraction works. Works in your love life the same way. In your career. All the same way. Get into what it is that you want. Don't back into it by saying I don't want a... no, no, no. Positively what you want. Clearly, cleanly. Exactly like the Mustang. Oh yeah, what kind of rims did you want those Goodyears mounted on for your Mustang? Yes, that specific.
Here's the thing... how will you know whether you are clear? Well, let me put it this way - Wayne Dyer has a book called "You'll See It When You Believe It!" Well, folks it's waaaay more than belief... although that is on the right track!! It is deeper than belief. It IS YOU. Then YOU own it!! So, YOU must get to a place of having your dream. If with all your clarity YOU are not willing to have it, you won't! And, that is perfectly fine. Remember, I said be prepared to have it. Here's an example: I want a mansion on hill. How will it be landscaped? Who will maintain it? In your clarity, did you mention where you will get money for owning it? Oh, didn't want to own it? Then who will your contact be that let's you live there?
So, let yourself dream of the things that matter to you... be perfectly clear on that... learn to have it be a done deal in you... and, most importantly, accept where you are at.... Here's why I say that, I don't know exactly what the statistic is, but many people win lotteries. They don't stay "rich", Why? They are not willing to BE rich. That simple. They can set up a vib to WIN, but keeping is a whole nother story!! different vib by the way... try it... say I want to win a million dollars... feel that... now say... I want to keep a million dollars... different isn't... subtle... but different...
So, the point is, if YOU don't know or are not clear on what you want - HOW can LIFE, to be more specific, YOUR LIFE, EVER give it to you!!! Duh... Yet, how much of our life do we spend being unclear about what we want. What we do want brings things, people etc. into our lives. So dream, but don't dream from this is pure fiction.

Owning yourself...
Mmmm.... Owning yourself... well, perhaps accepting yourself is a better term. There sometimes is so much about us that we are resisting about ourselves. Me... phew... a lot that I have resisted. Much of that was caused by what "I thought" the expectations of others were. Those expectations masked me. In fact, as I thought about it... the way I was operating... just about all of it masked me. What ICE expected of me. What my dad expected of me. What my mom expected of me. Actually, mom was easier to deal with! I just totally resisted all that I "thought" she stood for. Easy, right? Whatever the issue is, nope that's not right. It needs to be this way. The trap there is - the "stereotype" of being. No freedom in that, right? Really. After awhile, it was so confining. Took quite awhile in my life to see that. That's where Givens comes in. He was inspiring for me. It came as a slow realization. Of course, India brought it all together. You could call that an awakening. However, I will say... an awakening may never look like what you "think" it will look like... that is why it is an awakening... the very name says it all. "Something" happens... I call that the mystery of life... and you know it is all gonna be different... the mystery of life.

More Magnificence...
I was going to start this post off with an apology, but for what? I told the truth. And, by the way THAT is what we do as humans. We see the magnificence of us... then pull back. Could I have been a bit more delicate... mmmm... not my strong point! First off, I got a little carried away yesterday. It's just I see soo much potential around me. Sometimes it takes so much for us to finally get resolve and turn things around. Do the phrases "darkest before the dawn" or "I hit rock bottom" sound familiar? Sometimes for some people that's what it takes before they get their mind out of the way and begin connecting to the "quantum space" where all the answers live!! I've heard it before, "something just happened and I knew..." What do you suppose that something was? That was the deepest "you" literally connecting to creation! The deepest you in search of creation... your own creation. And, it connected!! That's when the "turn" happens. Everything just looks different and you begin navigating the "quantum space". Just like Columbus, just like Magellan. That would be the metaphor. You are finding a new "land" to live in. A new way of being. A new way of living. And, like I said yesterday, when I was ranting truth... decision by decision, situation by situation, discernment by discernment. It's a voyage with purpose AND vision. Your vision. The Vision of YOU! The vision of the Magnificence of YOU! That is the new frontier. How exciting... I've got goose bumps...

Magnificence
Yes, the magnificence of the human spirit! Wow! I get so geeked to address that! The perfection that we are. Is there imperfection in our perfection? Sure, that's the point! We sit back and judge and call the judgment imperfection. Nahh... that is actually taking us home. How could THAT be imperfect. See, the universe, it all works. It is magnificent and we are magnificent beings in it. We need to learn to chill, folks. Yeah, quit choking up on the bat, my friends, and let that ball come to you. You can find it. You can connect. You don't need to go looking for it, you know. If you chill you will see it. Can't miss it. That's what we are in the process of learning. Let go and let God. God IS in the quantum space. The thing is, we won't do that until the options seem very limited and we "think" we are in a heap of trouble! We "think" we can figure it out... there is NOTHING to figure out, my friends. And, it doesn't matter whether you do!! That's what I was getting to about the "quantum space". Do you "think" that if you can figure it out or understand it, it will operate any better? It's already operating. What can you possibly do to make it better? So, chill and just navigate it. How do you navigate it? Ah, that's your real question isn't it? All that busy mind stuff. But, you just feel vulnerable, that's all. "Please help me," you say. "Is there someone "out there" who can help me?" Well, no, actually. There are those that can assist, but you need to do the work. You need to make it happen. And THAT misunderstanding, someone can "help" you, is the biggest fallacy on planet Earth. You are the source of all your issues and all your great fortune. Hey, look, you are operating in the quantum space without a license!! Yeah, that's right! Then your mind wants to argue with me and say I don't have it right!! Oh really? Well, the way I see it YOU are the one looking for help! I'm okay and you're okay. However, the issue is YOU don't think so. Isn't it? Let's tell the truth here. I'm comfortable with the mystery. Are you? Maybe that's the point. We need to get comfortable with the mystery. Do you think it was "easy" to do the things I did? I challenged everything in my life. If it hadn't been for Alex I don't know what I'd have done. But, let me tell you, there was no "Deus Ex Machina". No "voila" stick that made things right. I had to keep navigating... day by day, situation by situation.
And, yes, there are some of us with larger "problems". I get that. We can be born into this life with them. That's the point, to chunk through them. I'm not laying a bad trip on you, really. I'm not. But, we need to become present enough in this reality to "see" what is happening. So, give God Honesty and he will give you Truth! Most important thing I ever heard! It is okay to be totally pissed about things. In fact, once you recognize, and accept it you can get it out and see more of you! Then you will see glimpses of that Magnificence that you are. It's stunning, I mean really stunning. Like you have never been stunned in your life!!

The Quantum Space
The quantum space can be defined logically to some degree to the "satisfaction" of the mind. But, actually, it is beyond the "local" mind. Healing modalities come from this space. To really "understand" this i.e. make the local mind happy with the answer... lets go back to the universe. When you look up at the stars at night, as beloved Carl Sagan used to say, we see "billions and billions of stars". True, and in our "small" capacity the universe is "untouchable" and unknowable. I mean really. However, what my expereince says is that anytime something "seems" unfathomable or we can't relate to it, we just need to change our perspective. This is even true if you understand Einstein's "Relativity". Even he talked about frames of reference. There's the observed guy traveling at the speed of light who is almost not aging. Then there's the observer, you. THAT is the frame of reference I'm referring to. YOU are the observer and you think certain things are happening by observation. Yet, the "reality" of it is, and we talked about reality a few posts ago, the guy you "think" you're looking at is not aging... but you ARE. Okay, frames of reference. So, what I'm saying we must need a different frame of reference to "see" the universe so that it is knowable!! Simple! Are we there yet... close. We "just" need to make some small transitions that may seem huge to us now, leaps of "faith" even, to get there. This is what Jesus, or the one they call Jesus, tried to "teach" his disciples. As soon as Peter thought about things when he was "walking" to Jesus on the water, he sank!! His reality set in. The water will not hold me... there is nothing there... and by anaolgy, I can never reach the stars... yes, from our current perspective, but that does not mean that it is true... to put that all in perspective... Newton defined dynamics, but it was only part of the total picture. Newton's work soon became a small part of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. So, we started with Newton and what he did had great value. Then Einstein embellished it with his "Theory of Relativity". In the scheme of all things at this point, there is something that contains Einstein's Theory of Relativity. That is, a theory that "contains" Relativity as a sub-set, a part of its total scope. THAT will provide the perspective to see more of the possibilities in terms of the navigation of the universe. Just like, as I mentioned in the "Genius" post, about the world being round. It took awhile to overcome the politics and resistance of it all. Keep in mind time does not truly exist! Oh, but then I explain that to Dr. Hubbel and he really "gets" it. Which is exciting for both of us. But, hey, this is ALL mind candy!! You don't need to know any of it. Why would you? Do you think because your mind can understand it, it makes it any more useful? I only wanted to point out here that there are things operating in the universe that we can begin to explain in light of all the genius that has gone before. I didn't just invent it now. It is operating as I speak! So, I explained all this for two reasons, 1) That all I have said can be easily verified based on current knowledge and 2) to motivate you to go deeper into who you are and what YOU can do in this quantum space that is operating.

Genius
It's funny how we all recognize genius. I mean it's like genius is defacto. It just is, right? Watch... I say Einstein... What comes up? I say Edison? What comes up? See what I mean? How about Isaac Asimov? So, there is something about these guys that we just "get". One of the things I learned about genius is what I call "scope". They don't limit themselves. I was almost going to say "limit themselves in any way", but then I don't that for sure. What I do know is that they have a broad scope and they do their own "thing". Edison sleeping in "cat naps". And certainly Einstein had his style. Not sure I can define that, but there was a style there. Even though he was a "scientist" he referenced God. So, for him there was a unity of all things. Interesting how long it takes for those kinds of insights with that kind of scope to "catch on" and be like "everybody knows". Here's something really interesting. It has been discovered that the Greeks knew the "world" was "probably" round! Yes, they did this by measuring the length of "shadows" at various latitudes. So, the arguments that "everybody knows" about the world being flat or round occurring in the middle ages may actually have had much deeper political implications. So then there were these Greek geniuses too!! These were very highly evolved studiers of the universe. I heard a shocking statistic, at least to me. The "Milky Way", our galaxy, is 130,000 light years across! Light travels at 183,000 miles/hour. And, it would take light 130,000 years to cross JUST our galaxy of which our solar system is a VERY small part! Add to that - there are hundreds of thousands of galaxies in the universe! Feeling small yet? That's not the point, but I did want you to be with that. No... what this just says is OUR INTREPRETATON of the unverse, what we see, seems to show us that. It doesn't say that it IS that way!! Hence, the quantum space. What is the quantum space? That's a great question!

Reality
Well, I may as well just tell you... Reality is Unreal! Yes, that's right you heard me. And, no, I am perfectly sane and ALL my wiring is in place!
When I had my interview with Dr. Hubbel we talked about "reality". The conclusion we came to is that "reality" is unreal. How so? It has to do with perspective and "life experiences". After that discussion, the thing I found humorous is when people would say, "The reality of it..." because what always needs to follow that phrase is "for me!" It is all about the conditions you have generated in your life and your outlook at any given time. One person can have many more possibilities in their life. They are optimistic. They see the glass half full. Half empty does not occur for them. Have you known optimists like that? Look at Edison. When he invented the light bulb, on his last failure, he said something like "I found 99 ways not to do it." His focus was on doing it. Some call that genius. The light bulb is not an efficient source of light, but it does give light and you don't need a fire going to get it. So, my point today is that reality is personal. Maybe that's why Mark Twain said, "Your opinion of me is none of my business!" Your opinion is a product of your judgments and evalutaions. Who knew he was a scientist probing "reality"... see that's my reality...

Intensity
Some days are just intense. There can be a variety of reasons for that. The important thing at the end of the day is to just be able to let it all go. All life just IS... yeah... it just is. There are various things we buy into in our process of living. And, what IS more important than life. Ultimately, life is our authenticity. It is the reality of us. Watch your life "play out" and you have a sense of your spiritual journey. As you engage in the outcomes, your life actually shifts. That is why at the end of the day... let it all go. By doing this you have a shot at altering all that has gone before. In the process of living, we can miss words that are spoken that come from our own emotional attachments to the ongoing outcomes we are generating through our emotional energies. The release allows a reset. It creates a transparency for us to take a look as if with new eyes, at least eyes unclouded by our attachments and judgments. That process is important. This process is similar to the adage, "A watched pot never boils!" We see this lesson in all of life. Try holding your breath for 3 minutes... yeah, that's what I mean. Same analogy. So, my point is, it is important to take regular breaks from life and the end of the day is perfect. It can be as simple as ending the day with gratitude. Your life, no matter what outcomes may have been generated, is this perfect gift for you. As much as we might "think" otherwise, life is not a random event, but very specific and very specific to the energies you hold on to. We worked with these in the lab. I've seen them permeate people in very surprising ways. Of course, that's why Dr. Hubbel hired me. To somehow see these correlations and make "sense" out of them. You CAN release yourself from all these accumulated judgments and emotional energies. At some point I can talk about that. What you do is very intuitive. At its heart you always know what to do... the trick is to DO it!!

Don't You Just Love it!
Yes, I do! It's how changes occur. There's all this fear in the way. Then suddenly something just wells up inside you! Even though their comfortable, we can sit in our smelly diapers only so long then they start to itch. That is even a good metaphor for our health. You can "tell" yourself whatever you want... then there is the truth. The Truth is the "real" effect your actions are having in your body. You need to serve that up, even though it seems painful. That's why Alex has been so helpful in my life. I go in deep, find the spots of discomfort and talk about them to her. She's been amazing for me. If there is a reason to have an objective friend - that's it. Not to get biblical on you, but from my perspective that is the whole point of Chapter 12 - Gifts of the Spirit. Each of us has different gifts to share. Find that gift and share it!! Marsha Sinetar - did a book - "Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow". By the way, she didn't say close your eyes, quit your daytime job and leap. Ultimately you wind up doing that and THAT is EXACTLY how it looks, but that's like saying ... oh that's an overnight sensation... yeah over 20 years!! So, my real message is prepare. Like from Godspel - "Prepare yee the way of the Lord.." that would be you. Let your goodworks go before you as a testament to your greatness. Learn to believe in yourself. Pull away all those ideas and that stuff in the way. My mother thinks, my father thinks, this person won't like... first off... I would ask, "Do you know that for sure? Or, are you making it up out of a deeper fear..." So, don't you just love it, pick up that fear and have it walk with you! Start doing what inspires you! That's really what the message of my story is. The journey of 1000 miles starts with one step... make that first step and when you finish it... you'll know the next step... so, write that email, send that text, mark that calendar, as Nike says "Do It!" And, when you've done that... let me know how it went!!

Life is Fascinating
Yes! It is! I have always found life fascinating. Of course in my youth I didn't see it as clearly as I do now. But, then my background was unique too. Still, between all the hard work I've done, Givens and even my family - yes my family even, I am in a place of self ownership. Well, I know for awhile I was at odds with my family. I couldn't keep doing what they saw as my life. That's all. That unexpected trip to India changed my life. Parts of that trip were, to say the least, eye opening! Of course that's what friends are for, too. I need to tell you about my BFF, Alex Tarnoff. I really mean that. Alex has this amazing ability to see right through things. Me certainly. I'd bring my confusion to her and guess what? She'd help me see how it was all me. And, the funny thing is, she was able to do it and I never got upset. I'd be like duh... okay. Even though she and I were buds, she had that detached objective way of being. She would just listen to me. Do you have someone in your life like that, that just listens? You know Dr. Lissa Rankin says that friends and social things extend your life because it invites the relaxation response that is vital to physical renewal. You should check her out she's on Facebook. Well, I can tell you that Alex is a vital friend for me. She always seems to calm me down. Well, Mike says I've been rambling too much. I'm like, hey, this ain't rambling this is my life, dude! You know, life is promises and requests. You make a request, you get a promise. Real simple... as long as you make good on the promise. And, if you can't make good on it... that's okay... just notify the other person. So, my point IS I'm going to honor Mike's request.
