Lean in.

Just embodiment in its totality, fully aware as the film goes on around us, fully NOW.

We choose to see the lessons and to hold our full selves hidden beneath our meat suits.

We chose this playground.

We just keep forgetting how to access it and remember. 

Intentionally unaware we slide through the chaos with no map or compass...

As I become the medicine for my life, transformation becomes everywhere present.

Presence is the medicine.

Source is one, therefore it is in every disguise at all times. Just open your eyes to the edges of our programming, those places where you push the envelope and it bends, squaring the circle of this dimensional curve we are in and under.

IT IS ALL, therefore everywhere at once, in everything, every atom, molecule, cell, person, place thing. You can't miss it, so maybe that is why you always do.

Intentional forgetting to keep it endlessly new...

We are ALL always enlightened, yet continuously choose to remain behind the veil of it. 

We choose to see the lessons and to hold our full selves hidden beneath our meat suits.

We choose this playground.

We just keep forgetting how to access it and remember. 

Intentionally unaware we slide through the chaos with no map or compass, forgetting to accept the pattern that is our matrix...

In our negation of the pattern we fight ourselves throughout whole lifetimes, repeating ourselves this enprisoning pattern of defeat and grief, missing the forest for the trees.

"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds."

-Bob Marley (Redemption Song)

What if you could just realize the key to your prison is already in your hand?

What if you could replace the pattern with new programs to clean up your hardware so you can establish new software?

How would you rewrite your story?

Or could you start with a fresh now and let go of that story?

Well, can you?

This is it. This is the life where you become the light you are.

Lean in.

Let it carry you.

It is the perpetual nature of love,

the infinite now,

all-encompassing,

all accepting

universal oneness 

love unconditional,

in every breath you take.

We resonate its vibration when we allow love to lead our voice.

We carry the spiritual current of the aeon when we share this resonant harmonic field of love with everyone in our lives.

Choose this playground.

Become the love you are.

Just be.

Creativity is the one of the highest forms of bravery

Creativity is the one of the highest forms of bravery. It may be the most important. It is the initiator to all courageous endeavors and the spark that gets it in motion. Our creativity is in its essence, our virus in the system that we use to disrupt and to make it anew with our drive and will.

It shows us the parts of the path that didn't work and allows us the grace to trample a new path and claim our own personal sovereignty.

It frees us from the shell we leave ourselves in by igniting our change engines to build something better and more meaningful and more source filled.

It is our flame inside that burns away what is not essential.  It shows us the love that is at our core so we can share that eternal glimmer in our perceptions with the world.

Engagement in creativity builds us into the warriors of creation and gives us the potential to be more and to evolve from whatever shell we are placed in. 

It gives us the wings to fly with Icarus and the strength to carry us to our destination without falling into the sea of doubt and self esteem.

"From childhoods hour, I have not been as others were, I have not seen as others saw, I could not bring my passions from a common spring." -Edgar Allen Poe

Become your creative flow and let your mind unfurl. 

Take the risk, become the knight defeating the dragon of self doubt. Rise in your power as an eternal evolving being and allow your intentional imaginations to come to life.

Color outside your lines.

Become your light.

Trust flow with love.

Just be.

Always

Open your eyes this instant. 

All the way open.

See yourself, all of you, every bit, even that stuff you don't like, or hold shame with.

Every.single.part.of.you.

Now here comes the hard part.

Look at yourself, really look. 

See you. 

See your story, for you are the only one who knows it, all the parts.

Allow yourself grace, true grace, no conditions, just acceptance of all that you are, compassionate understanding, because you know the whole story.

See each endeavor, each pain, each fear, each worry, each sadness, each hindrance, each accomplishment, each triumph, each defeat, each joy, each instant from this clear and accepting state. Allow you to see yourself as a character in the movie, we'll just call, "your life." 

See yourself whole as a being from a distance.

You deserve forgiveness for your transgressions against yourself as much as everyone else does, and we all do, because we are all one. Root for the character in your movie to win. They need your help to succeed.

So what grudges do you still hold against you? 

Do you really deserve to suffer for your whole life?

Why?

Is that what you really want?

Did you even know that you have a choice in the matter?

You do.

Accept your love. You need it most.

Manage your attention towards your intentions with every breath and every step.

Attention and intention are locked in a spiral of growth and death patterning one after the other based on what we are focused on.

What is your focus?

Now, What time is it?  Do you remember?

It is still now. It is not too late.

It never is, for it is always now.

Everything is now.

Allow yourself the ability to blossom and unfurl your petals towards the infinite with acceptance, forgiveness and gratitude.

Just be.

Allow your now.

Become your light.

Thank you for you.

Infinitely now

Just as light and sound, time and space hold our now in place.

It is always now, you are always here. There is nowhere else.  Nowhere is in itself a conundrum, for how can we be anywhere but now and here.  We are never nowhere, unless we unpack the word itself, now-here, and realize that it is and was always also the answer, written in simplest terms. To be nowhere is to be here now, depending on your perspective.

Logic binds and holds the self in our infinite soup of creation. We sit in our Self soup and ladle parts of our selves out to the masses in clicks, symbols, memes, shares, and likes, disseminating our psyches across the web of Indra's illusion via the ethereal ethernet of eternity ever connected, ever exposed wires frayed at the edges...

To the edge of now, out here on the horizon of tomorrow, we ponder our yesterdays and miss the moment.

This is it.

What are you waiting for? Superman?

We are the heroes, we are the hope, no one else will come to save us... 

Now is our time.

If we could only find the moment, remember that we are nowhere, yet now here, and live from that place. 

How do we even get there?

Love, for it is all there is. Each moment an infinite amount of love is condensed into a fine sliver of conception, a slice of the eternal packed into now, containing all of it's potential, all of its power, and each moment we get another chance to claim it. Each moment we are face to face with the All, God, your highest power, Infinity, Oneness, Allah, Pravanabrahma, Yah Weh, Tao, and any other name that you choose to define it as. Each moment it is completely surrounding you, every breath takes it in, every step aligns you with it, you can never be a part from it, for it is God.

"Thou art God." 

-R. Heinlein 

(Stranger in a Strange Land)

Breathe in the eternal, go ahead. Take the deepest breath you've ever taken. Hold it in and let yourself ruminate on the now, let yourself soak in the infinite power there contained in each atom of air you are drinking in and just be with it. It is you. You are that eternity in this moment, in every moment. Let yourself recognize your own divinity, as a reflection of that all pervasive spark of the All.

Always in all ways do we embody this. If we could recognize our infinite nature, we would have no choice but to treat one another differently, for we would see everyone and everything as God.

"Treat everyone you meet as God in drag."

-Ram Dass

We are the angels, clothed in meat to pretend a life where we forget our infinite truth.  The answer is always right now, just beyond our illusions and held pains. To understand the now while remaining here can help you to hold two worlds in this plane. It can help you to free yourself from the suffering and holding of old broken patterns of past perceptions pernicious picking away at your psyche as triggers and traumas of your past try to pause your transformation. 

All it takes is full recognition of this moment, here and now. Seeing through illusions to know our core, to accept our infinite connection is to embrace it in our lives. To embrace the all with unbounded love and compassion is to embody empathy for every entity in our existence, eternally enmeshed in the now, accepting the All with understanding and awareness of the delicate dance and balance of nature.

To know the All is to know love for everything at every moment. To be free from the illusions of separation and to understand the mystery we must fully unlock our now. 

Start now. Take a deep breath in...

Hold it, and allow the now to grow inside of you.

This is it.

We are the heroes in the story.

Let's do it.

No time like the present...

Just be.

⚡💚🔯🌪♾️🪶🕉⭐️

Interconnection Now!

Let's take a brief journey together...

Wait!

Watch out!

Did you see that?

That was a close one...

What was it?

It was this momentary illumination hiding just behind the atoms...

What is all that supposed to mean?

This place, where we are now, because we are always here, is that underlying current of binding and blinding light, moving just at the edge of our view co-creating it with us.  It is that force of which you speak, that super glue holding together the universe, or as Carl puts it, "star stuff."  

This is truly what we are right now in this moment.

How is that even possible? 

If I cut myself blood comes out. 

If I dig through my body, I will not find this hiding light, just my guts...

So where is it hiding? 

How can it even hide?

Do fish understand the water they swim in? 

If they did, it would change everything, just as with us...

Each breath, each inhalation is the creation and destruction of countless molecular interconnections happening every instant of an instant, and we continue to breath and just exist, thinking there is nothing more...

It does not need us to be so, and yet it does...

When we delve into what collectively we know, we can step into our interconnected inner self, where all of these connections are as infinite as science deems it to be.

So why is Now important?

What is its relevance?  It is relevance.  It is attention, pure awareness without corruption, it is swimming in the zero state, that field of the all in which we are now moving, where all things are possible and there are no limits, baggage or memories weighing on your soul, but only if you look for it.

Awareness needs awareness to find it and know how to use it constructively...

Being a tautology is going to be the new prerequisite for this paradigm of understanding, so be ready for circles and find where they connect. 

As we understand the endless cycles and possibilities of now we can choose our own illusions that we are electing to meander through in this lifetime. 

What we align with and give our attention to is what we become and are.

So how do we find this light hidden in our atomic structure?

The breath. 

This point of connection that is the creation of our sustained life, it goes on without our permission and continues without our awareness, yet we can harness it.  We can grow in our use of the power within it. It is that illumined feeling of warmth, emotion, joy filling your being as you harness it simply by paying attention to your breathing, gently and easily controlling that which we are interconnected through. 

Holding the light, it grows within. Holding the breath, the power of presence and awareness grows within. 

It is that same brilliance that powers the sun and cosmos.

All this is contained here in this moment, just beyond our view, countless doorways to infinite realms of magic and mystery await us as we become this moment. 

As we interconnect our feeling of presence with our goals and dreams, they will come flooding towards us.

And so it is.

Just be.

Push...

Take a deep breath.

Come with me...

Now.

Push to expand...

Push to explore.

Push to express...

To be the flow...

Tantric rantings fill the mind
with contusions of conclusions
splintering off for amusement
as we spin this fire of the mind
and the heart intertwined
we sip of the vein of the infinite
and dive into the falls of consciousness
as the vortex widens to encompass the all
that is now. 

Did you get all that?  
There will be a test at the end, 
please try to keep up 
as the expansion of awareness
and consciousness incorporates
the effervescence of the illumined
as we feel those bubbles
percolating in our chest
and the wellspring of play and joy
take over in this timeless moment of flow
that we pass in and out of
as we meander our trail...

Find the gratitude for all moments, 
for all sides of the story matter
as this rambling of awareness
trickles to a stream
we dig out the vein
to begin again
cyclical spirals
dance through perception
know the ebb,
ride the flow,
be the now,
reap what's sown.

Just be.

Emotional scars are like internal tattoos...

The tattoo parlor of the unconscious and subconscious mind is an interesting place to pick up some new ink...
















This lair of our mind holds all of those important events, whether positive or negative... 

It leaves its scars as tattoos on the psyche, shaping, altering and traumatizing our experience of the world. We hold our "tattoos" of trauma closely at the core of our perceptual filter for our lives.  The scars sit closely to those triggers which call us into patterns of accepted behaviors we have conditioned our lives to be.  Sometimes those scars become our comfort, they become our safe place when we need something to fall back on.

So what are these "trauma tattoos" that so many of our minds are covered in?

Events which create extreme stress and anxiety tend to imprint deeply in our persona.  These may be echoes of events from early on in life, or of events we experienced just yesterday.  The effect of these moments creates that anxiety and stress that permeates every aspect of our being.  With one little catalyst we can spiral into our behaviors and coping mechanisms as though we are right back there with the event, as though we never left it.  For soldiers, this is a common occurrence when they are engaged in battle. This has been called "shell shock,"combat stress reaction, battle fatigue, and now its most commonly referred to as post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD.

These scars have trouble being released because they were not fully embraced, however difficult that may sound...

Letting go, while it seems like it should be easy, can be a very arduous task and this is especially true in cases of trauma. Think of it like a sink filled with dirty dishes.  Usually, you would just rinse off the dirty dishes and put them in the dishwasher, letting go of their filth and releasing the attachment to the dirt that they have built up. The person with PTSD or with traumatic dramas has a damaged faucet and dishwasher. Their faucet won't wash off the dishes and now the gunk on the plates is caked all over the sides of the sink! This gunk just builds up and up sealing the unaltered sink. This sink is like your mind, with the grime being those painful scarring memories of your past.  You just can't seem to wash the pain or difficult memories away.

What we need here is something to get the painful memories to release, to let go of their hold on our psychological well-being.  

Ok, so here's the hard part, but it can be accomplished in a softer way...

We have to revisit those traumatic events in order to fully free ourselves of their grasp. Did just the mention of this idea send a shudder through you.  Don't worry,  we are going to do this as gently as possible, it will be tough though. 

Just as a good doctor will tell you to let the fever run its course, so it is with our mental disruptions as well.  We rob ourselves of the fullness of an experience when we recoil, or shut down, or become unconscious to what is transpiring. This compounds in our subconscious, creating a feeling of anxiety and distress when we remember the experience because we never let the difficulty and pain run its course in our emotional body.  Our body is naturally cathartic and will initiate its own fail safe as we process really hard events, but only if we can be aware of all of the emotions that arise.  This attention to the pain and discomfort lets it run its course just as a fever needs to.

So this can be really upsetting depending on what your stressor was...

What are some ways to diffuse or release the gunk that has clogged up our perception?

First things first, reliving and really acknowledging and embracing those difficult feelings will be hard to do, but it is truly vital.  Once they have been fully expressed they can be seen as what they are, emotions and feelings and nothing more.  They lose their power when the light of awareness comes upon them.  This awareness can be fostered using some Sedona Method work by asking yourself if you are able to let go of the held emotion or held attachments to the traumas.  Then you ask if you would be able to let go, thereby empowering your self confidence. Lastly you would simply ask when you will be able to let this go.  What this does is diffuse the emotional energy bomb attached to the trauma and makes it so that it can be released over time in a safe way.

Another way, still requiring some revisiting, but in a more muted way, involves going back to the event or events from a distance and keeping awareness on the event while you do EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as tapping.  This will send a vibration accompanied by intention statements and reframing statements to help shift the blockages caused by the held or trapped emotions.

Still another very powerful method involves hypnotherapy work where we go in and replay the trauma from a safe distance. We gently break through to become fully present and aware of it in order to diffuse the power we have given it to control our lives with fear, shame, guilt, or any of the other lower energetic emotions.  This still brings us back to it, but in a more distant way depending on the hypnotherapist or program they are working with.


These tattoos of our life experiences are just as permanent as our external ones.  

Taking the power out of their control over our emotional lives is how we can stop letting them control our perception of the world.  This will free our experience so we can grow and transform into our highest selves in this lifetime.

The memories may never fade, but the power we let them have over our lives is something you have the power to change...




What are you waiting for?

Light for your path...


Just be.

Visualize, mesmerize, materialize!!!

'Tis the season!

                 Don't wait!  

                             Do this now. 

                                           Let's begin...

Now follow along and visualize this to yourself, picture it in your mind, as you read along with me. First take a deep, full breath in, all the way down to your belly and let it out slowly now, and spend a few moments just focusing on your breath as it comes in and out slowly and calmly.  Now picture the sky up above you with the bright sun high up overhead.  Feel the warmth of the sun on your face as you continue to take deep full centering breaths calming and relaxing you now as you bask in the light of the sun.  Just be still in this moment.
  
Now as you are quiet and still notice as thoughts about your day, worries about deadlines or any of life's difficulties just spill out into your stillness, almost as though you are holding back a levee of thoughts and its slowly seeping out.  Now see in your mind these repetitive thoughts, some negative, some not, these thoughts you have about who you are and what you are, how you feel and what you think of your surroundings.  You know those thoughts that play like a tape recording throughout your day.
  
Watch now as the thoughts transform in your mind into clouds as they fill up the sky and block the warmth from the sun.  So now picture yourself safely rising up into the sky through those clouds of busy and negatively patterned thoughts.  Seeing them separate from oneself now you know in this moment, you are more than your thoughts...

Realize that as you are coming out of the cloud cover up back into the brilliance and warmth of the sun that you are moving beyond these limiting thoughts back to the you that is eternal.  You are transcending to the witness, that infinite part of you that is not attached to any emotions or preconceived notions of what the world is like.  It is being in that childlike innocence.  This is where you are now.  See the clouds below you now as they drift past and feel the powerful connection from the warmth of the sun revitalizing your true self.  Feel the textures of the clouds, realizing again that you are more than these senses.  You are the still small scribe to this infinite sea of experiences.  Know that you are beyond your emotions.  You are connected to your source, aware, alert.  Now slowly bring yourself back into this space, the room you are in, feeling comfortable and relaxed in your body, knowing in a deep place that you are better for this, and it is so...

Are you presently present now?  

If not, take a second to remember who you are, where you are and why you are... 

Do you have goals?  

What is it you truly want?  

What is keeping you from being there now?  

Will you save yourself in time?  

There is only one lifetime we are currently aware of  so we must capitalize on our experience of the present in order to harness the full potentiality in every instant of our perception...

Presence can be experienced in a great number of ways from some deep breaths to simply being in your body.  

Create a mantra consisting of a few things you are working to create for oneself...

Here's how you do it:

Simplify whatever your goal is into a few words and just keep the saying or phrase that you can run in the background noise of your mind, repeating on autopilot while you are mentally focused on the outside world, being aware of one's own body as such is a difficult undertaking...

Create now in this new year whatever it is you can envision with all of your senses.  See yourself presently in perfect awareness of your consciousness, being in the flow.

Happy 2016!!!!

<3

Light for your path...

Just be.
