Vision In Sight

Your Magic Bank Account

2010-07-25T09:26:00.000-07:00

Life without living in the moment is like life without paying attention. Paying attention is a very economical and most efficient way to live. The way God meant it to be and the easiest way. Each moment that we pay attention, we get something back in return.

When we pay attention to what is going on around us, we can then live happy, joyous and free in each and every moment, . We appreciate and give thanks for everything we are given. If we grumble about what is being taken away from us, each of these moments is lost. If we can find what is being given to us in every moment, we are living a full life.

Yes, I know that not every moment, due to life around us, is all fun and games. perhaps, it may work for you to do as I like to do, and that is to pay attention to what lesson we may learn from even the bad moments.
"Author Unknown ... Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest: Each morning your bank would deposit $ 86,400.00 in your private account for your use. However, this prize had rules, just as any game has certain rules. The first set of rules would be:
1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
3. You may only spend it. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.
The second set of rules:
1. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, "It's over, the game is over!"
2. It can close the account and you will not receive a new one. What would you personally do? You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right? Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right? Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

ACTUALLY, THIS GAME IS REALITY!! Each of us is in possession of such a "magical" bank. We just can't seem to see it. THE Magical BANK IS TIME! Each awakening morning we receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us. What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost. Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time ... WITHOUT WARNING. WELL, what will you do with your 86,400 seconds? Aren't they worth so much more than the same amount in dollars? Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think. So take care of yourself, and enjoy life! Here's wishing you a wonderfully beautiful day!!!"

With Warmest Wishes,

A Real Life Manifestation

2009-07-26T12:40:00.000-07:00

Well, hello, everyone,

It's been a long while since my last post and boy, do I have a story for you!

Get yourself a fresh beverage, sit back, and read about a whopper of a manifestation in my life.

I've spent much time reading about and learning the principles of healthy, balanced living and learning how to apply the methods of the so called "Secret" to be at peace in my life and have everything I want.

Well, I am of the belief that this secret is not, nor has it ever been a real secret.

For lifetimes throughout history, humans somewhere in the world used the practices of the law of attraction to know how to achieve things seemingly impossible to others who do not hold the same knowledge and beliefs.

So, my story begins about one month after my last post,over a year ago, when I was formally acquainted with someone I had met on a mailing list... a jokes mailing list to be specific.

and no joke, Bingo, through a series of humorous and a bit embarrassing events, we started corresponding and instantly and completely fell in love.

Somehow, We immediately connected and Allan and I became the fastest of friends and oh, so obviously more. I somehow knew I had met the man I had envisioned I might one day marry.

I had, not long before, decided to give up the looking for love approach and started to look for working on making my business into what I really wanted. I said to the univers ... I said, "universe, these are the things I want in a person and if, as unlikely as it seems that person is out there, somewhere, let our paths somehow cross.
I will not settle for nor be distracted by someone less than what I envision is right for me.

I said unlikely, because I couldn't imagine all the various and incompatible characteristics I had wished for all in the same person. Frankly, the guy would have to be a nut!

Universe, I said, If this man is out there show him to me, only when I am ready to have this happiness.

The best part is, before I ever told Allan about this amazing attraction thing, he said to me ... you are all the things I knew I wanted in a person and I had given up looking, I just accepted that such a person could never be found, because all these characteristics could not possibly co exist in one person.

He never once though, gave up on the idea of true love existing between two people who found their soul mates.
I feel this is why both of our visions of our perfect mate came to be manifested

A slight challenge to the whole thing, was that Allan lives in England and I live in Florida.
Not to worry, a first meeting trip was quickly booked and we met face to face in October. Two more trips soon followed in February and May. May's visit brought a proposal and beautiful ring.Each visit made us more and more sure that our destiny together in life was set.

Since Allan has a fantastic job where there is reasonable security and stability, obviously, the most prudent and wise choice was for me to move to England.

His accomidations could not support this idea, so our next visualization was of a place for us to be able to be together and live comfortably .

Well, within less than a month, the most wonderfully perfect place came into view. Again, through a series of wonderful coincidences and synchronicities it soon became ours and the moving began.

Some minor challenges have arisen as to how to get me over there. Things such as issues with getting my guide dog Walker into the country. Issues with my getting my passport, and other such basic things when relocating internationally.

As it now is, Allan has moved into the new quote "flat" unquote ... I'm gonna love learning a new language. grin ... He's got one more visit in November and I'll move in February.

These plans have changed and evolved to what they are over the past months, but, somehow, the universe's opportunities were given to us to get to our conclusion. No matter how hard we tried to plan things like we wanted, our plans just weren't manifesting and other options made themselves clear.

It became obvious to us that the law of attraction isn't just I want this and this is how I'm going to get it and poof it's there. No, it is mor like, just visualize the desire realize it happening, and allow life's opportunities to arrive. Recognize them, and act on them, despite fear, doubt, or what the world might think is crazy.

There can be no doubt. When you see what you want you must believe in your own mind that it is yours, just keep seeing it and believing.
It will come to you.
Don't give up and yes, be patient. Maybe it is true that you are not yet ready for what you are seeing and must learn more experiencial lessons.

Our mistakes in life will teach these to us.

I love how the whole manifesting through the power of source works...

How the law of attracting this source of creation into our life really is an absolute law.

Try it. It works for you, too. smile

Finding Hope

2008-05-12T12:05:00.000-07:00

Where does hope come from? ...
How do you have it if you don't want it ...
How do you, for that matter, want it if you really don't see the point.

It is such a tumultuous world in which we live, and therefore, it is often difficult to see the proverbial silver lining around anything.

Here is where the key of hope falls into place.

If we understand the principle of honesty and that being 100% honest *all* of the time is essential to our best interest, well, you must admit that hope is easy.

Hope is a choice to make.
This means there is a solution that can be made by you..

The truth is that there is always a solution.

The truth is, also, that it is not always going to be easy.

Please remember that anything in life that is worth anything of real value, often requires effort.

The Effort becomes easier, however, if one truly finds passion for what he believes.

Find a spark of passion for believing in yourself ... that spark is called hope ... *smile*.
Being without hope, honestly, does not make any sense.

If you are without it, the only logical choice is to give up ... guess what? Well, in my own belief, you get to.

There may or may not be more to it.

It's a simple choice you get to make whether to have hope and to believe.

A simple choice.

Surrender and give it a try.

If you have an interest in the Native American traditions and the lust for a spiritual lesson, well, check out a wonderful author named Mary Summer Rain.
"Mary Summer Rain is the author of over 25 books on spiritual philosophy, most notably of teachings she received from a Chippewa visionary woman, No-Eyes..."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Summer_Rain)

Mary Summer Rain writes "The Visitation" which is her story of how she was visited by an Archangel who lays it right on the line as to man, his ego and inevitable downfall if he doesn't change to an attitude of love.

A very interesting read and it makes one think of his own responsibility for his own problems.
Hope is a continuous choice to make ...
All we have to do to find hope is observe. Observe someone or something that shows you that something is possible.

Look around and don't say

"Oh, I could never do that ..."

Take a closer look ... Most of the time, you will find someone who is no better, stronger, faster, or even more intelligent, , than you are.

We all have the same stuff, it's just that most of us are not in the same energy and attitude as others.

If we find hope that we could be ... might even really want to be ... well, then we have something.

So, back to hope I'd like to introduce you to a wonderful creature called the

ganges_dolphin_-_ravindra_sinha.jpg (12276 bytes)
../ganges_dolphin_-_ravindra_sinha

There are two species of blind river dolphins in south Asia - the Indus (Platanista minor), and Ganges (Platanista gangetica) River dolphins. [They were
once thought to be the same species.] They do not have a crystalline eye lens, which makes them effectively blind. But the lack of vision is compensated
by highly developed sound imaging skills, also termed ‘echolocation’ – a sophisticated sonar system that is a navigation aid in the muddy and silted rivers.
Their blindness " …is one of the reasons why these dolphins swim on one side underwater, with one flipper trailing in the muddy riverbed. The physical
touch gives the dolphins important information about their surroundings and helps them find food."

from:

http://www.wildlifeofpakistan.com/RiverDolphin.html

... so what does this have to do with hope ...

when a mother of a 3 year old little boy, told him that he could use his fingers and his ears and his mouth to see, because his eyes didn't work anymore, she gave him hope ... well, his Mom's hope was what this little boy learned to do ... just like a dolphin or a whale ...
Read about him in People magazine at:

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,26334,1212568_1,00.html

and watch this video ...

http://www.people.com/people/video/player/0,,1213584,00.html

and he can also be seen in this video of him with John Blackstone, a journalist with CBS....

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/779704/best_video_of_the_year_blind_kid_uses_sound_to_see/.html

So, from the hope of believing that something you once thought impossible, ... well, think about it ...
Find a little faith ...
faith. ... Tune in next month for an interesting twist to this one ... *smile*

If we went by what our eyes could see Well, often the truth would be eluding us.

For those without eyes, it's how you perceive things ...

Backseat Blunder

2008-03-24T12:05:00.001-07:00

Walker is my trusty, young guide dog, with whom I was blessed right after Christmas.

I am so thankful that Walker does not talk, as he would promptly put in a request for a new handler.

During my morning errands, today, there had been a few mishaps that put me in kind of a foul mood. On the way back home, Walker and I were quietly waiting in a car, in the grocery store parking lot, as my friend stopped to pick up a few items. Walker was sitting on the backseat, as allowed by this driver.

I stepped outside to better hear, after my phone rang, because the radio was playing too loud.

This car, which was a loaner, to my friend, was a mustang, which I mistakenly assumed was a two door. My friend had put Walker in on his side when
we left, as the entry was easier. My side was a little close to another car.

I had not correctly determined my error, as I had felt only one handle on my side and also had not noticed the short size of the door as I opened and closed it

During the call, I had unmindfully stepped aside toward the back of the car. .
After I hung up, I turn back around from where I was standing and felt Walkers head where I thought the front seat should be. Yeah, I know, sometimes I get a little disoriented.

Anyway, I immediately ordered Walker into the back seat, Shame!! I cried, sternly. "Get in the back!"
He would not budge and I increased the volume and severity of my command.

I hear a couple chuckling as they walk by, wondering why this crazy lady is screaming for this dog to climb in the back when he is obviously already in the back.

Confused and frustrated, I quickly opened the door and abruptly commanded Walker out of the car. He immediately obeyed, as he usually does. I tried to pull the seat forward. I could, nowhere find the latch to release the seat and my frustration and ire grew.

Well, my friend returned, and I quickly ran to the other side of the car and asked him to put Walker in, as I yelled, "I've had enough!

He said "Wha?"

Why can't you put him on your side?

I bellowed, "Never mind, I can't pull the seat forward! I can't find the lever!"

"Why would you need to pull the seat forward? There's two doors, just open the back door!"

OK, I know I need to work on my restraint, today, and also possibly my logic.

This dog is an angel, and I just can't seem to realize I'm the dope!

He still loves me I think, cause after the whole ordeal, as I slumped in the front seat, humiliated,, his big
head reached around the side of the seat and kissed my cheek.

It was as if to say "It's OK, Mom, I understand."

Unconditional love is such a nice thing. My inability to give it back is sometimes still lacking,, but I'm
learning more every day.

Stamina: A key principle for spiritual and personal growth

2008-03-16T12:56:00.003-07:00

Stamina

Good old fashioned determination and perseverance to anyone who understands success.

The stamina to just today, try a little bit more than what you did yesterday.
In what way did you build on a true vision of what it is you want in your life.

You have to begin somewhere, if you haven't already.

Start now, and if you are on a path to finding what your dreams could be, but you are stuck, well,

start again, with us.

Sit and jot down a list of what is the purpose of you fighting for this dream.

It could simply be to be rich and secure in the material world.

It may be finding a way to care for the people in your life who need more help than you can give.

It could be to save all the starving little children in some far off continent in the world.

No matter the level of what it is you really want, you have to identify it first.

My list from years ago, began like this ...

Peace
love of God of some sort
friends
soul mate
security

Each time I returned to this list, I Slowly, began to understand that I had to decide how badly I really

wanted these things .

There were others all over the world who claimed to have found these things and for some money

they would show me how to do it, to.

It was only me and a new found power of thought idea that made me believe that I could succeed.

Stamina.

You don't have it, you say?

Well, start now.

Just try again and keep trying.

Believe that all you dream of will come into view and within reach and then in your hands ...

Remember, it only works when you truly believe this.

Perseverance

One day at a time.

The looking back on every day from a nighttime bed,

"did I do the best I could have done today?

If the answer is no, you have two choices.

Forgive yourself and try harder tomorrow. With this one, you must always, also ask
"Am I being too hard on myself?"

Learn to be honest to yourself and you'll be amazed what this tiny little practice accomplishes in the end.

You'll begin to hear comments from those around you about you seeming different or happier.

You'll feel healthier and finally have a reason to want to try harder the next day.

You don't really have to trust me. Just have to try it a little and see what happens.

Let me know what you find.

Why do we need to know what God is?

2008-01-14T18:32:00.000-08:00

Quoted from The Kyballion by three initiates :
The Hermetists believe and teach that THE ALL, "in itself," is and must
ever be UNKNOWABLE. They regard all the theories, guesses and
speculations of the theologians and metaphysicians regarding the inner
nature of THE ALL, as but the childish efforts of mortal minds to grasp
the secret of the Infinite. Such efforts have always failed and will
always fail, from the very nature of the task. One pursuing such
inquiries travels around and around in the labyrinth of thought, until
he is lost to all sane reasoning, action or conduct, and is utterly
unfitted for the work of life. He is like the squirrel which frantically
runs around and around the circling treadmill wheel of his cage,
traveling ever and yet reaching nowhere--at the end a prisoner still,
and standing just where he started.

The truthabout the truth

2007-11-15T06:49:00.000-08:00

OK, let us take a closer look at this thing called truth. I wish, here, to give my compliments to you, for continuing on to learn more about something that literally scares the hell out of most folks of the world, today.

For Most, the day consists of getting up in the morning, catching some news, coffee, and/or breakfast before setting off for the days adventures. ( Not necessarily in that particular order!)

Concerning the news part of the day, included is any extraneous information that comes into our senses every moment. We even subconsciously take information that lies out there in the world. A perfect example was yesterday, when a dear friend that works for a well known donut chain, was

asked by her boss to go out to the small parking lot around the building and pick up trash. As she proceeded to fill en entire large trash bag full of the disgusting scraps, butts, and lord knows what!, she came to the obvious conclusion that people are pigs.

I silently sat thinking to myself, * some * people are pigs. People like you and your boss make the difference to try and correct the former fact. So, in my silence, I believe she got a hold of the same thought, because she quickly noted that she also noticed that so many people driving by in the drive thru were giving her a thumbs up and a smile and thanks. How ironic, huh? Not *everybody* is a pig.

It is so important, in my opinion to be careful of how we perceive the world. Regardless of the state of the world, there are countless good things happening simultaneously. What if we also consider that perhaps the deed of my friend going out there with her trash stick, everyday, may prompt a few of the pigs that do exist to take notice and be forced to think before dropping that donut wrapper, or dumping an ashtray full of butts out on the pavement. Just maybe.

So my standing story sticks when I say there are three sides to every story

Your side, my side and the truth.

In the case of the dirty donut joint, the employee's side is all people are pigs; my side is that only some people are pigs, and the truth is that the pigs themselves usually don't even care or realize that they are pigs!

The pigs have long ago lost the ability to see that everything that they do has an effect on the world.

Ornery people have no idea, sad people have no idea, angry people have no idea, and the list goes on and on. Never the less, each one has an effect of their behavior left on the world.

It's a physical and natural law that a cause has an effect. The cause of Someone's dirty habits has an effect on people’s opinion of the whole world, and it just makes things ugly.

The cause of someone picking up someone's trash has the effect of making some others think twice about being pigs and it makes the place look nicer.

I believe people's hopelessness of how the world works has been spiraling downward for so long. To the naked eye, it still seems hopeless, but if we use another sense...

The law of attraction. The Secret. power of intention. All go along the lines of this law. What you cause, you will create. What you truly believe is what comes into being.

When my friend sensed the world like it was chock full of pigs, it looked pretty bad. When she sensed it like people were appreciating her contribution, the world looked better and she was able to look at the finally clean parking lot with a sense of accomplishment and pride. Like she had made a difference.

Man, it's so simple and there are countless examples of this exact thing everywhere around us.

If we take the time to do and become a part of the solution, we will each stop being a part of the problem.

Take the day today, and try to consciously sense when you feel those constant feelings of hopelessness or anger. Sense the frustration of so many around us that feel the same way. Sense that by your taking a different approach, you also help calm those around you.

Turn it around and think of how you can do something to change someone else's perception of the truth.

When a sales clerk or customer service representative seems to be giving you an attitude today, take the time to *kindly*say that you are very sorry they are having a bad day, but “I am not sure what caused your frustration. Please, could we start again, and I will explain what I would like

you to do to help me. and I'll be on my way. And don't forget to smile. It really throws them for a loop

and usually turns the situation around in a hurry.

We all react to anger and frustration the same way. We react with the same emotions in defense of our own feelings.

We should take the time to remember that whatever made that person be in the mood they are in, probably has nothing to do with you. More than likely, they had a spat with their spouse, or had an

irate boss come at them that day, or countless other things that may be going on in that person’s life.
Visit to learn how not to take everything so personally:

I'm not saying we can excuse anyone for bad behavior, but we can make an attempt to help that person recognize that they may be acting inappropriately
It is very important to remember to do everything in a kind way. Trying to make anyone listen to your thoughts with the use of anger or sarcasm will not get the message across. It will only add to the effect of the negative cause.

So simple. Think it over today, when you feel your mind going to that negative place in it's view of the world. Think about how your negative thoughts add to the whole mix, whether we care about it or not.

Most often the person has no clue that their actions are affecting you so badly.

A million and one reasons make a person act the way they do, and our own reason that we are offended is definitely not a good enough one to change that person over night. But, we can plant a seed, and one at a time we can all begin to see the truth of the world.

It made a difference for that one

By Andy Thomas

One morning, I went out for my daily sunrise walk on the beach. Off in the distance, I could see someone pick something up off the beach, wade a little
ways into the ocean and then toss the object into the water.

Then, the person, who appeared to be a small boy, picked up another object and tossed it also into the sea. He continued to do this as I walked. As I approached,
I saw that he was picking up starfish. I stopped and asked him why he was doing this. The boy explained that the starfish were stranded and that in another
hour or two they would dry up and die. He was saving their lives.

The innocence of youth, I thought. I told him that there were thousands of starfish on the beach, and he couldn't possibly make a difference. The kid stopped
and looked down, as if to study the water that washed over our bare feet. Then He walked over and picked up another starfish, waded into the sea and tossed
it in.

"Sir," he said, pointing into the sea. "Yes," I answered. He continued, "It made a difference for that one."

Guess What? You're Happy

2007-10-28T12:27:00.000-07:00

Each person has his own path to love and peace in the true sense of the words. Not love and peace like in

the 70s, but a more practical realistic , and mind altering substanceless, way of becoming conscious and

aware. Conscious and aware of one’s own ability to create happiness on a continuous basis.

Sounds impossible, I know, but absolutely true!

Each and every one of us is born of the circumstances under which we were created. In other words, we

have a core being that can not be changed, but can be conditioned in a way to be completely balanced in whatever the world may bring.

The conditions of circumstance can be as horrible as a birth defect, or as simple as having the genes of an

angry German.

If self-awareness, and consciousness is nurtured from birth, our core being grows basically in spirit and

therefore consciousness exists. When the opposite happens, and a baby at any point is not taught these

things, he becomes unbalanced by merely reacting to a fearful, or threatening occurance in his life. He

sees things from a different and untrue perception. He becomes threatened that something is going to be

taken, or fearful that he is not going to get his way or what he wants.
If this imbalance happens, We must be inspired to believe the truth that things aren’t really like they seem.

To see our truth as it really is, we only must work with some sort of spirit, or such to make us go. We may

kind of need a purpose, or a reason to keep going. Otherwise, it seems senseless. Senselessness creates

depression and despair in the human mind.

We must have a way to find a reason to keep going.

The best and quickest path to finding this “inspiration” or spirit, is truth. This is why Jesus called himself

“the truth and the way”. Now, don’t run away, I am not asking you to even consider believing in Him, if you

don’t.

The way refers to the path; the path of truth.
Most believe this means we must bow down and worship Christ as a “god” or God, himself. No, not at all,

but I believe instead The claim can be understood to be this: how he is, the sinless being, is the way to

peace and love.

The word sinless is often misused. To be sinless, is to be impeccable. It means to say what you mean and

mean what you say. Be without blame. Keep your word, or do your best to do so. Be who you say you are. Learn always to

tell the truth. Often times, we don’t see that we lie to ourselves or others. When someone tells us the

truth about ourselves, we jump to the defense, not realizing that if we are open about the idea, there may

be a little truth to it.

Now of course we can rarely be sinless like Jesus. Whether real or only a story of morality, makes no

difference what you believe, he is the true model of love and peace. We must only wish to be like him and

we will automatically always want to live like his teachings say.

This idea of spirit ends up being born from our gift we give back to life if we choose to. Otherwise

known as free will. When we free our will, we realize we don’t want the stress, anger, frustration, and

chaos we have in our lives. The process of removing these things will usually be a long and sort of painful

thing to do. In the end, however, all the negative is gone. It doesn’t come back because we continue to

go to bed each night and recall any misdeeds we did that day, and go back and make it right ASAP.

We then never have to go to bed with anything but sweet dreams and visions in our heads.

When we find what truly makes our hearts sing, we truly find our gift and purpose. Then
guess what? … You’re happy.

A Place In The Soul

2007-10-28T10:25:00.000-07:00

Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the
waves, the
tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies o.
love. Then, for the second time in the history of the world mankind
will have discovered fire.
--Pierre Teilhard de Chardii

A secret to my inner most soul:

Surrender thoughts of finding a goal.

Love and service. A heart yearns to give,

The hope to others to just want to live.

The yearning gives birth to desire;

Desire to creation from fire.

Live in a way that no eye has seen

No heart has felt,

no body has been ...

Is to where we ultimately grow,

a place in the soul where no shadows show?

THE ANOMALY ©2006 Marcangelo Perricelli (From the EP entitled “The Anomaly”)

(The Teacher, and in his confusion he speaks)

Haze in the distance tonight
When you see the dream, is its vision in sight
So, hold it tight,
Oh hold it tight
As you feel the wind on your back

Will you soar through the air
Will the sun lead you there, so it goes
Travel deep in your mind
As you search... and you find

(The Seeker, enveloped in the perverbial question)

All the treasures that lie here
All the one’s that said good-bye
Are their spirits burning?
Are we still learning?
Does the sound escape in the night?

Soon the light does shine on me
Watch it sparkle and fall from the sky
Are we still learning?
Are we discerning?
As the darkeness is cast on the light

As it frightens, it enlightens

(The Spectator, he awaits a calling)

Not much has changed
So misunderstood, but things keep going my way
Confronted day by day, just leave me alone, I’ve not much to say

Here in my dark-lit room
Time exists with no end
The demons are so lonely, Just waiting for an end

Lay me out in darkness
The time has arrived, as long as we’re here
Something strong within me, reflecting the light, it’s blinding you see

Take me to the rapture
Deliver all that will be
We'll see it together, as we drop to our knees

He Told Me

2007-09-22T23:14:00.000-07:00

I talked to my God

I told him I wanted to have my vision back

He told me "you can't"

I told him I wanted to find my way

He told me "You can't"

I told him I wanted to have a strong will

He told me "you can't"

I told him I wanted to feel his love

he told me " You can't

I then told him "God, I swear if you give me these things I will promise to try and help all those in the world that cross my path"

He told me "I can't"

I pondered, struggled, and cried

He gently broke through my sobs and told me" My child, I did not say may not, I said can not"

" You can not because you don't believe you can"

"When you believe you can, you'll see that all these things and more already are what you want them to be

Live And Let Nature Sort It Out

2007-09-11T17:58:00.000-07:00

I have spent a signifigant amount of time in the company of some rather, let's say, unpleasant people in the world.

This ranges from angry, impatient customers in the retail business, to intolerant people in their own countries who hate Americans , all the way down to some of the cruelest minds roaming the thug/drug world.

These drug dealers would just as soon put a bullet in your head, as they would spit on the sidewalk. They wouldn't even skip a beat in what they were presently occupied doing.

Modern day, yet emotionally identical to, the old movie versions of "the Godfather" .

In a spiritual realm, these brothers of ours are just as understood as we are when we do the things we do wrong.

Hold on there, don't get all excited! I am not suggesting that you are just as "bad" as any of these characters, I'm just stating a fact, that each person has a free will in this world to do whatever the hell he feels like. Each person will then reap the rewards or consequences of what he does.

By us holding to others actions, and desiring revenge or justice, we only raise our own blood pressures. We solve nothing about that person's behavior, or how that person believes.

By letting the water run right off the duck's back, we will not further the negative emotions. We will not eliminate them from the other person, but we won't worsen them.

Now let's go back a little further in time. Maybe back to that person's time in his mother's womb. This woman is being abused by her alcoholic husband, and gets beaten regularly.

It is proven scientifically that a fetus in the womb reacts to a mother's pleasure or pain, respectively. It would make sense that that baby is hurting when this mother gets hurt.

After 8 or 9 months of this, anyone is going to come out just simply pissed off.

If the effects of this past are not reversed by the exclusive presence of love and balance in his life, he will stay pissed off for the rest of his life.

OK, this all may not be completely convincing.

How can I possibly suggest that we just forgive and forget all people and situation that causes us some kind of discomfort or harm? Yeah, I'm nuts.

Nuts, but happy nuts none theless. happy.

I had never before found this in my life when I was just getting pissed, feeling like I wasn't getting my fair due, couldn't get a break, the whole world was wrong, and I wanted justice, damn it!

When we think this way we will reap the appropriate woes that result from our behavior and thoughts.

This will include difficult relationships, meager living, unhappiness, endless negatives, if he is not living up to his full potential.

In my realm, full potential means a few very simple, logical things.

First, always give yourself the credit of having done the b
est that one could do.

Often if in a difficult circumstance in life, we will fall back, and feel depressed or discouraged that we do not have the ability tohandle something.

This prefabricated truth will keep us from even getting up off the couch to try.

What we must understand is that sometimes getting out of bed to get to the couch was the best we could muster that day.

The next day, however, if we do not at least find "one" task to complete, just because we "don't feel like it", well, that just isn't the best" you could do that day.

Therefore, things will not get better.

If we start to look at things from a different perspective, for example, someone else's point of view, we can get less angry or frustrated with "stupid people"

So what I think I'm trying to say here is this:

If we can each just do the best we can do today to not react to the world, and instead respond with our own understanding and kindness we will see the world in a whole other way.

This is true even when we feel the others behavior is unwarrented. When we hear someone ranting and raving, try to let the person know that you understand their frustration, but their frustration and sometimes anger doesn't help any situation. Help them, perhaps, find another solution or advice for their dilemma.

I always love help from my friends who make me realize my foul mood before it worsens. One in particular, friend I know, responds to my sometimes critical nature, with anger. I always must apologize to make him come around. It's just a ritual that was started about 17 years ago, and his ego keeps him at bay. He runs from my world of discovery and inspiration like a moth from a flame. Today, luckily, I am no longer a moth drawn to flame of illusion . For years it burned my wings. Today, my new way of looking at the world, it's inhabitants, events, changes, and love, has given e brand new wings to help me rise above it all.

To rise above and give the best I can give today. Don't hate me if that's not always up to the world's standards. *smile*

Flying In Time

2007-09-11T15:36:00.000-07:00

I've said before The words I desire
Come not from The mountain But from Spirits higher

They state at each night's final hour
Just for tonight I'll be Here forever more.

Alas, forever is an impish wonder
demonish intent in its sights;
keeps human souls asunder
Darkness in each night

The spirit asks,
"Be mine forever, just for tonight?"
Knowing that a moment is only now-
devour each with grateful sate

Moments are but pearls strung
one by one along paths of glory
unconditionally given to all spirit,
As it tells a boundless story.

If the string breaks,
Letting fall pearls along the floor of light
Fear not the pearls have not changed.
only has time been set aflight.

How Many Stories Do You Have?

2007-05-01T12:45:00.001-07:00

If everyone on the planet has a story, and, yes, they do, this means there’s at least how many stories in the world?

How many people are in the world?
...
there are approximately 25 more people in the world than there were when you started reading this paragraph.
Beyond that, there is, most likely, twice as many more., there is many more, because most have more than one story about themselves. One is the world’s view of their story.

The other one is the reality.

And yet the other saying:

There are three sides to every story, your side, my side, and the truth.

This is for those who have not come to practice the principle of complete honesty.

Now, now, don’t get offended by this. Don’t ever take anything personally if it does not truthfully apply to you. If your living your life on purpose, you should never be offended. Never take anything personally.

This is one of the four agreements

Visit:

http://www.everydaywisdom.us/four_agreements.

For an explaination of this.

So, as I was saying, so many stories exist, it makes me chuckle to think of how many people are trying to know them all. I’ve slowly come to learn that only my own story must be kept to one single story, and that story will be the truth. It is the only story which I should concern myself with.

Each day, I must continue practicing this idea.

Often I need my friends to really come out and tell me the truth. Everyone can have a tendency not to see the obvious truth about ourselves. This being because the truth can hurt our feelings.

Feelings are simply an indicator that a thought is occurring and causing us to react. React if it is a negative, harmful, or untruthful thought.

The reaction is called response if our emotions are in full balance. The true sign of this balance is called peace for lack of a better word. It is true conscious contact with spirit.

The true balance can only come from keeping vision on the truth.

By seeing the truth, or being enlightened, we are able to handle any change and grow with that change.

Most importantly for me, is that I must remain open minded that I may not be right, in any given situation, no matter how ridiculous it seems.

Open mouth, insert foot. It has happened to you, I don’t care who you are. If you haven’t I’m calling b******t!

Okay, it is probably time for me to get to a point. The point is that I believe that there is a way for the world to balance itself to a prime state of existence. When its spinning and circling and magnetizing, and so much more, according to new astronomy findings how can a balance be made?.

The explanation endless, but the only thing we are supposed to know is that there is a natural order of things. The ruling force of that existence will change from time to time; from era to era; from eon to eon.

Why does our mind want to quantify and prove that laws of the universe like the law of cause and effect are true.

Pretty self explanatory theory. Something causes something to happen.

The real cause of anything is not always the obvious one. Humankind’s failure to see this causes anger, disagreement, violence, and ultimately a breakdown of anything resembling OK-ness.

*******

Mass media comes up in conversation almost constantly, plus the chattering of the populus that whines and yells in the frustration and fear in the world.

In the material world. In the world that we see, hear, smell, and even sometimes taste in the air. It’s easy to feel on the skin. The grime and filth we wash from our bodies if we live in the smog.

Lemmings? How many times in history have we been compared to the little buggers, running themselves off a cliff. For what purpose? No human could explain, sufficiently, why they continue to do it. They don’t realize that the power undeniably exists within every breathing human being to resist that instinct to do as the world deems, and be an individual, self-reliant, generous being on this earth. .

Spirit of life lives and flows through the moving blood within the body. Oxygen and all other life giving material used for fuel and maintenance … it’s all in there, like a machine.

Oh, my, this sounds way too much like a created machine. Let’s just for a moment not think of spirit as “thinking” just as truth. Let’s not suppose any of this was created or maintained, just that it exists because of a sum total of all the causes that have happened in the universe. The fact that it is a law of the universe that all things work on a pendulum type momentum.

Oh, way off track.

Point, point …

If everyone’s story becomes the true one, the world has no choice but to see the human race will survive. As a species, we can live to grow another eutopia from the ashes and the rubble.

The story of history ….

Pretty simple. I can’t see it not being revealed, soon.

Those who do not see “the truth”, whatever you may call your god, or lack thereof, exists. The truth exists. How can anyone deny it?

I’m trying not to ask …
The best way to know how many stories you have is to ask your best friend, in all seriousness, to tell you about yourself. If your best friend just laughs at you, get a new best friend and go ask your Mom. There is someone who will tell you about yourself, if you think hard enough.

Most of us can go into our own memoriy bank and think of someone we didn’t get along with, and listen to what they said to you at a given point. If it was something you remember, it struck a truth nerve, and you remembered it.

Resentment

What is a resentment?

Webster's dictionary defines resentment as indignation or ill-will felt as a result of a real or imagined offense. Webster's
then refers us to the word anger and gives more examples of this idea. rage, fury, ire, wrath, resentment, and indignation.
These words suggest varying degrees of fear based behavior, … “from anger (strong, intense, and explosive) to the longer lasting resentment (ill-will, suppressed or unexpressed anger) caused by a sense of being wronged or being wrong”, to quote author Bill Wilson. In plain English , we got our feelings hurt by the said real or imagined offense.

When we can learn to see everyone as human, no matter how stupid, or evil they may seem, everybody’s got a story to tell. Think about what story you’re seeing.

Then take the time to ask yourself “How many stories do I have?”

The Truth About Enlightenment

2007-04-21T01:38:00.000-07:00

I had a bit of a brain blast a while ago. A
brain blast is something that happens to the
mind when it is getting a message of the truth. Something that's there and just won't go away.
The little knowing that just persistently is
telling us the answer to whatever we are
questioning. We will most always bypass this
sort of voice, and goe directly to another part
of the brain, which questions this thought, and
wants to know "why, I don't like that idea
because That sounds like a lot of work,,"
The fact of life is that we must work at something to survive and get the things in life we want. One big secret that I learned is that work is not like work at all if we love what we do!

Basically, I feel that if not properly
maintained, the body and spirit become lazy. We want to
find an easier way. This agrees with new
technologies that allow us to become as lazy as
we want. Food additives, chemicals, and simple
lack of our bodies fuels, cause this tendency as
well. . We say, I will pay something or someone to
do it for me. This is of course because I can
go to work to make money to buy all the things
that will make it easier for me.
Meanwhile, blood pressures rise, and disease
sets in mainly due to stress. 80% of all disease
and illness is due to stress. Are we that blind that we don't see the simple truth? Well, I was, and I can see
clearly, now, that the only solution, is to wake up
and find what I really love. In doing this I am becoming balanced and enlightened.

I can Find true vision, even
if I can't physically see. The truth is the
only constant in the universe and we all need to see it as it really is if we want to
survive all this insanity in the world.

All insanity is, is the act of repeating the
same action over and over expecting to get
different results. Quite simple, really, right?
Just stop doing what doesn't work.
No, not easy perhaps, but, yes, simple.Most of us when we do
not listen to this enlightenment, knowledge of
the truth, will become creatures of habit. A
natural occurrence, they say.
Well, this is only true since the time we
have become civilized in the sense of rulers
conquering and having visions of overpowering
the world. They will convince the population
that they are safe, and we will protect and take
care of you as long as you bow down to us. In other words, there is always a want for control and power.
I am getting a real strong truth that this is
not the way that works. thousands of years,
hundreds of thousands of years, who knows, maybe
even millions of years have passed with this
problem happening over and over.
Why am I ramblin' about this? Not really
sure, just that maybe I wish for a place where
the idea gets back to family, community, and
helping your neighbor, just because you
understand.
A place away from the constant insanity of the world.

A place where each individual is taught self-reliance, confidence, living passionately, and most of all, enlightened to the truth.

It can never happen unless the truth gets
fully exposed , and we realize, that we have the
ultimate power of thought. These thoughts become
actions against anything but self reliance. We
must as individuals be responsible for
ourselves. If physically unable, we depend upon
support of others until we find a way to again
become self reliant. At the end of days on
earth, our spirit can rest that it has completed
its task and goes home. Collectively, this
thought starts to listen to the truth, and
begins to take care of business. The business of
becoming the stewards of our spirits, and
respecting the earth. It will take each of us a
bit of work to change ourselves,
but the only requirement to be able to do it, is
to become open-minded and start to *really* be honest with ourselves and find the truth.

Lose Fear

2007-04-18T01:30:00.000-07:00

I have been watching the news for a few hours during the day, today. Listening to Geraldo pound judgement on a man who is really a boy at heart. A small, scared, sick, possibly, or probably, insane little child.

Regardless of the feelings of any one in the world - each person is entitled to their opinion. Debate is a wonderful thing. But opinion has it's place. It's place should not be so blatently widespread on television. At least it should not be in the news. The media want to electrify the people who watch; really get to their emotion, instead of getting to the facts. It's purely for entertainment and generating chaos. It almost breeds the illness which is rampant throughout our population.

The illness of fear. I believe that fear is the root of all, so called evil. All of our bad, or destructive behaviors come from this fear.

Fear of all the terror surrounding us. Our instinct as self aware beings is to become defensive, and say "I'm not afraid, it's just ...". Not Everyone is born and raised in this fear. The happy, joyous, and free people don't. Don't think they are not there. All anyone has to do is really look around. Who do you think emergency workers and the heroes are in something like what happened at Virginia Tech.
They are the self-confident, fearless people in the world, that stand up and do their part to help another.

If you learn how to really become open minded about the fact that that boy did what he did, and all the chatter and hatred about what he did will not change it. It will continue to become more of a common occurance, unless we get to the bottom of why it happened on a mor realistic level.

More realistic in a way such as, most young people today have no idea what real love and acceptance is. Cho Seung-Hui is a classic example of how no one has the time to get to the root of his insecurities, and it literally escalates to a point of exploding in a hateful destructive manner. Some will argue, he should be responsible for seeking help. Well, most of us do not voluntarily seek therapy. It is a sometimes social stigma. It has gotten better, in large cities such as Los Angeles, or New Yourk City, but I believe it may not be as common in most communities.
Some organizations and institutions tend to promote status, and competition. they lose touch with the individual's ability to love and help others for the right reasons. .

It has been stated in the news, that people noticed this young man's problems, and chose not to get involved.

We can not "fix" people or make them drink when led to water, but we must do *something*!

We can not sit back and not become involved in helping another person in the world somehow. We can not do this until we find good intention and purpose in our own lives.

Take one look at the "man in the mirror" and ask if he listened to someone who needs to be listened to and affirmed today?

A great book I found to show you how to find the time to help others, is called

"Take Time For Your Life" by Cheryl Richardson

The book helps one balance his life and find peace if he stays open minded to suggestion. Suggestion from those around us that have what we really want...

The Real Secret

2007-04-12T23:28:00.000-07:00

Today, I know how to be and I do practice being happy, self reliant and joyous. Quite an accomplishment for

a totally blind, never before successful, ex- crack addict.

I know the undebatable truth about the secret to finding your happiness.

I can tell you very simply, that the secret to success is all about finding what your passion is. Your "gift". Your

purpose in your life. Everyone has one. Some are for good, some not so good.

When we hear "He did that on purpose!" We automatically think that person did something bad.

The true meaning of the phrase is to do something on purpose...to do something with a reason

behind it.

Again, either good or bad. My way to this finally defined purpose is a good one, and as soon as I

decided and figured out how to do this, it has been all smooth sailing.

Every event in my life sort of came together in this vision of purpose, and I just followed along on this

path of passionately getting into my dream to make it happen. It grows daily, and ultimately will

become what I'm envisioning.

It happens, and I can't stop it. I know they're all talking about having me locked up for being

unreasonable, yeah, let's call it what it is... Crazy. They can not believe how high my goals are set.

My old self wants to feel disbelief, but can not. The agreement has been made in my heart to try and

continue on a mission of helping others. I am set to help only those sent my way, and who can

understand that I understand. I understand only because I have lived what they are living. There will

be most that I can not help, and probably not meant to. Everyone gets their messages of truth in a

different way. Some through a special person, some through an experience that leaves a great

impression in their life, some will learn through the most unusual means.

Have you ever had something happen that turns your world upside down, then later becomes a great

blessing in your life? Sometimes we must wait to know "why" something happens. There is usually a

message in everything in life. If there isn't, one can be almost made up.

What I mean by this is I know I must look at everything in a positive manner. Looking at the other

side creates failure.

For me, it doesn't matter if it all comes about like I dream. If my purpose is to help just one person on

this earth, and I am enjoying doing what I do, then

I have succeeded!

I love what countless teachers and authors say about the "secret". The mind can think something

into existance... I don't think it works until one finds their real purpose. Everyone has a gift and

passion for something. I'm not the first one to come along and try to sell you on how simple it can be

if you follow their exact directions. They will never work like they are supposed to.

Not until you can honestly sell what your trying to sell. You have to love what you are *telling*

people that you love. No one is going to buy something from, you until you can truly show that you

stand behind it.

I know a cab driver by day, that sells cigars on the internet as his passion. To some not a very honorable profession, for others an enjoyable past time. He never has to touch the product. He

took something that he has a passion about, and brought all the available brands of cigars to one

site to provide cigar smokers with information about its pleasure, and the product itself, brought right to his

customers door. He provides information on what makes a good cigar, gives special discounts for

his frequent customers.

Another young man took his passion for becoming a radio DJ, and is starting his own internet radio

program.

A product can be an actual product, service, or even advice or wisdom.

Everyone has to sell something. You can only be successful and truly passionate once you find out

your true purpose. You can find it today. Just sit down and think of what gives you that fuzzy feeling

in your tummy... not the one you get after eating something bad...

You find that feeling of love in your heart and you figure out a way to hang out with the people that

do what you really want to do. This usually takes some time and effort on your part, but when the

love for that dream is there, it doesn't matter.

You have to let go of fear of losing something. You don't really have anything, anyway. You think you

own that big beautiful house? Wait until the first time you can't pay your taxes. Just an example,

but real things happen, like me going blind. I never would have expected that my life would be like it

is, today.

I had to be willing to believe that all those successful, happy, rich, truly inspirational people were no

different than me.

Often people meet me and say " I could never handle going blind! "

I can only say, " You never know what you can handle until it gets here "

We must not worry about what has not happened yet. According to this great secret, by worrying

about something, you think it into existence. Yeah, again crazy but *how do we know?!* I, myself, I

had to become willing to believe that I did not know it all, and there is no way for me to be sure of a

damned thing.

I have learned, however, that I can have fun with building my vision.

Please visit me and my blind angels in making a miracle...

Visit and see what we have to add to the meaning of vision.
