Art of White Lie

Art of White Lie 👀

January 10, 2021

Honesty, integrity and truth are cornerstones of a loving life. All my close connections in life have no censorship that requires walking on thin ice for fear of at least a verbal reaction that downsizes any love. The unimpeded flow of communication is a never ending delight and gift that one always wants and enjoys more of. The need to censor anything is a block to the love that can be. Of course, some relationships don’t allow free thought and connections, in which case it’s best to ‘harmoniously position’ yourself to them for the best connection even if it’s just a smile.

We all find occasion to reject and resist another person. It’s a great feeling of course to not have to go through that experience, but sometimes the ‘pains’ of the lack of smooth communication can, motivate to find ways to rise about it where there are no clouds of rain and storms. We all like to put up a fight against anything we dislike. But we forget that when we decide we will resist something or somebody, either mentally or physically, we only empower the object of our resistance, either in reality or in our own minds.

When, and if, you want to enjoy the ability to influence, always start with acceptance. If you want to disarm another, begin with acceptance. If you want to encourage and empower another to change, start with acceptance. Don’t make it conditional. Otherwise it’s just resistance disguised as acceptance, and you are still trying to control them. Call it a bit of deception to land you both on a more congenial wavelength. It has a sense of a ‘white lie’. White lies are always to not hurt anyone but may make the connection on any matter more acceptable.

I’m the first to admit that having enjoyed the bliss of being not only on the same page as someone, but on the same line of thought at all times. Still experiencing anyone who is challenged by their own internal way of communication, requires an art of navigation that can certainly be worth the outcome.

Have an open heart, but a flexible attitude especially where communication is like navigating a roaring stream while avoiding the dangerous rocks in the way of moving on. In a sense, the moments of rocky communications, metastasizes or contaminates all meanings of attempted dialog. Everything is not as it seems sometimes. Well, well, well … and especially

in the world as it is now. Even most love is tainted with revolving truth and lies, but if truth be know, not the kind of love that anyone wants. To find love, always focus on the positive, sensitive truth, and leave the only lies as ones with a ‘wink’. The path of the evolving spiritual is the path of love.

Daddy’s Fixin’ It

Daddy’s Fixin’ It? ⚒️️
Inline image
January 3, 2021
Well…that use to work for me and maybe you when we were younger. My daddy’s up in the sky, and he mainly was into family business…and good at it! Well then, there is a Father in the sky, apparently up down and all around 24/7! Now I’m not suggesting that this force is not nameless. We as humans like to give things names, and in our own language. To us the word is God … he’s the man, so to speak. Now at these crazy times that when we are suppose to individually and collectively evolve, there is a problem relying on the ‘daddy in the sky’ who’s going to fix everything.

If you’ve read this far, maybe it’s best you read no further if you’re easily ‘triggered’ by a ‘reality check’. Let me divert for a moment. I live in a ‘meditation center’ in Portland (here only maybe 1 out of 12 meditates barring the dude who endlessly drinks calling it meditation), that is called the Yesss Center which I started exactly 30 years ago in Venice Beach (LA) following a vision that my now deceased best friend and author of several books on mythicism of religions, (Acharya) were on a Sunday country drive near Waxahachie, Texas. During the drive among the cow fields, I had a vision to create some kind of ‘community’. The daddy in the sky may still be helping me, but….

People in America, as I write this, seem to think that there is a daddy in the sky who is going to fix things while not realizing that the age of AI or ‘artificial intelligence’ is being planned to robotize most humanity. Our minds are still stuck in decades ago where we could just assume one year was going to be like the next? From the 1950’s until 9-11 in 2001, it seemed so, then the bubble burst. 2020 was a year to begin chaos with a global virus and a draconian lockdown that leaves many questions as to why we are being manipulated (or are we?). Then there is the alleged vote fraud with a Presidential election that will always be contested.

We have over 50 ‘Think Tanks’ in the country like the Rand Corporation that is just blocks up from the Venice Boardwalk. They have some of the best brains in the world for hire to figure out how to do anything like ‘fix an election’ or put the world into ‘one world government’, or how to use ‘artificial intelligence’ to control people. The collective of people, sadly at this point, doesn’t like to think and leaves that, unknowingly, to Think Tanks and the political system that is mostly blackmailed to conform to a world ‘takeover agenda’.

Living in the heart is frequently ignored by the intellect, not to mention use of shear common sense. This current time is the ‘awakening chaos’ that is like a volcano erupting after millenniums of dormancy. The light is upon the earth for each of us waking up to new freedoms and consciousness. You’re invited!

Self Vaccinate

Self Vaccinate 📣

December 20, 2020

It works! Is the needle the best way? However, most won’t make the effort or have been doing it. Then, you are on your own to examine the ‘vaccinating issue’ pushed by Governments and people like Billionaire ‘Big Pharma investor, Bill Gates. Always, remember there is not one size fits all meaning each of you is one of a kind with real issues or just psychological ones.

Mahatma Gandhi a few years ago said, ‘’Vaccination is a barbarous practice and one of the most fatal of all the delusions current in our time. Conscientious objectors to vaccinations should stand alone, it need be, against the whole world, in defense of their conviction.’’ In essence, make your own decision not letting governments dictate what is good for you especially when much of their instructions are money oriented for control, and also entail lots of ‘subjectivity’.

I’ve been around many more years than the average person, and value my observations of ‘why people behave the way they do’. Those observations, like any good observer of people’s behavior, is that people who excel in love physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually are not as likely to have a vulnerable immune system that requires any unreasonable form of paranoia about catching diseases and illnesses. Of course, be a good self judge of where you are in relation to those characteristics that certainly don’t fit the masses in a high degree of compliance. We all have an incredible ability to love in all the ways ‘aforementioned’, but we get busy and not mindful of breaking habits which hold our ‘wholistic health’ back. No one should die or be debilitated because of not fully loving all aspects of ourselves although nothing is guaranteed but ‘change’.

My careful subjective observations, over time, continues to be that those most positive with themselves, exude a ‘self love’ that manifests in higher states of happiness and excitement for each day regardless of challenges that befall them. It doesn’t matter that the early years of anyone had any degree of calamity or wounds as everyone has information available for the first time in history that can assist them to ‘rise above all limitations’, especially psychological ones. Remember, the beginning of your life hasn’t started, not just yet, and there is no end, because the beginning hasn’t started, not just yet. The footsteps you make seem to be yours, but just keep walking on into the light where there are no footprints for the real you.

Love Isn’t Love

Posted on by

Love Isn’t LOVE 💕
Inline image

December 19, 2020

I was a draft Dodger? I love myself and imagined loving all humanity, and guessed that meant the Vietnamese too. As years have elapsed, it has become popularly agreed upon, that the war was unnecessary and wrong especially for all humanity involved. Was there fear of going to Vietnam? Only a psychopath wouldn’t fear going into hell on earth. A psychopath doesn’t love themselves except for what satisfies them, which is to disregard all love for others. (My escaping the Vietnam war, and bless those who went, was done legally).

‘Love’ is a word used to convey either a feeling of varying intensities, or perhaps a ‘pat on the back’ which is a gesture of feigned kindness that is ‘socially correct’, and a learned habit to hand out ‘willy nilly’ as a standard piece of verbal ‘lagniappe’ or a ‘verbal treat’. There are infinite ways to use the word ‘love’ to where it actually loses the intimate meaning especially with people. Actions speak the loudest for love. Actions are harder than the ease of telling everyone that you love them, which has some merit, but is a light use of the deepest meaning of the word.

A very deep love is a wordless, total let go with no fear of intimacy with another to the point where you lose your identity and the self that you carry. With that love is like the merging of two souls into one, and far beyond any necessary agreements to the connection. The ‘catch’ is you have to empty the attachments to negative memories as well as your partner has to also. Unless, in a rare case, two people are ready for that kind of merger, agreeable mutual focus and effort must be there. The merger of two becomes a meditation that actually if both align themselves to moving through emotional and mind obstacles, will work.

The question should arise, how do I know that? I’ve experienced it both as a natural uninhibited merging to a sense of superconsciousness, and an agreed to mutual evolvement to a state I call ‘lovenlightenment’. ‘Enlightenment is a word that has been bandied around with no ability to measure if it’s real or not. ‘Love experience’ can be measured. Many years ago, I came up with a method (and surely there can be more than one measurement) that was used with a few hundred willing and curious people. None disagreed with the results. Usually people need to make resilient adjustments by examining habits that they clung to endlessly which leaving ‘love experience’ stuck in a place where they can’t seeming free themselves from the emotional, spiritual imprisonment. With knowing where you’ve been and accepting it while having the feeling you can rise in love by exploring proven methods, with time it will happen. The greatest meditation is a deep sense of love. Time to weaponize yourself with deep love.

Archeological Mind Dig

Archeological Mind Dig ⛺️
Inline image

December 16, 2020

Digging for the truth is to be a spiritual archeologist. Instead of the physical, digging, sweating in the dirt and rocks to find what lies beneath our view, searching and digging for the truth relentlessly is to live with an open mind and heart to see and feel beyond the illusions of partial or misleading information. The time for just absorbing ‘here-say’ from whatever source when deeper answers just need a little ‘digging for the truth’ is more available now than ever, rather than self-immolation especially if the collective people follow along like sheep to the slaughter.

Searching for truth or the ultimate answer to anything requires considering letting go of preconceived notions and any limitations of fulfilling expectations of what you want to unveil. A graphic example would be to search for the reasons why a family has a lot of yearly sickness when upon open minded investigation it could be found to be living in close proximity to a toxic chemical operating plant or refuse.

Likewise, how you were raised to adulthood in terms of love, discipline, experiences, conditioning, etc., sets you on a path that represents where you’ve come from. Whether that early path was troublesome or balanced and healthy or whatever, there will always be resilient adjustments to make every experience the best it can be. The answers are within each of use to what we are seeking that equates to the highest possibility not only physically, mentally, emotionally, but spiritually. Always be mindful of ‘karma’, or what goes around, comes around.

We are not just a body that translates experiences to who we think we are, but inside that body, including the brain, is a spiritual being that the body and brain through the heart and mind yearns for attention be it needing an archeological dig into the heart and mind to uncover the waiting spirit. To not see or feel that yearning is a choice to stay preoccupied by outer things while not paying attention to what all religions and/or spiritual teachings emphasize as the most important part of being here for a moment in time. Life can be ‘non stop’ ignoring what is most important to all life, AND that is love, and love deep within. That love to exist as much as it can doesn’t do as will with enemies inside, like hate and many other negativities. Love transposes hurts, pains, and all negativity if it is strong enough. Be strong and connect with your beautiful inner qualities!

Om-m-m – Hum di Hum..

Om-m-m – Hum di Hum… 🎼
Inline image

December 8, 2020

Nothing better than to clear the mind and open the heart. Presented here is a unique meditation combining the ancient sound of silence from past spiritual practices over the millenniums and modern ‘jingle chants’. They can be done for as little as a few minutes sitting, standing, lying down with eyes closed or with eyes open walking in the outdoors. In the East, all the religions without exception agree on this point, that the sound which is heard in the final, highest peak of silence is something similar to OM.

Being in the moment, especially invigorating while walking, take a deep, slow breath; and opening the mouth begin the sound of OM-M-M-M-M-M-M letting the moment come to a transition of joy, happiness, and positivity with any assortment of jingle chants of your selection, repeating it for as many times as you want always choosing to do the deep breath of OM first. (It just might clear all the coronavirus talk that is non stop)

When alone, be creative to clear the mind bringing in a sense of feeling better. For example, do Om-m-m-m-m and moving to ‘hum di dim di dum di dum’, Again, be creative. For example I came across a tune by the singer Suzanne Vega that uses another jingle you can add. It’s from these words:

‘’On a patch of sand where the warm wind blows

Not a TV set, not a radio

Just an old guitar when the sun sinks low

Down at the Lah De Dah’’ – Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, Lah di da di dah di dah di doo. When it feels right do another slow breathing of Om-m-m-m merging in to something like ‘Ba da ba boom ba da bing ba da boom etc…… and maybe, boom ba ba boom ba boom ba boom boom da da boom and maybe dum di di dum dum dum di di dum….zippity doo dah zippity day – my oh my what a wonderful day – da bum bum, da bum da bum bum bum, dada bum dada bum bum da bum – zippity doo dah zippity day, and then another ‘OM -m-m-m

Make it up and be unconventional, letting go of any judgement. Doing this mini meditation will make for lasting moments of healthy feelings. There are endless ways to meditate leading to living a more spiritual life while you walk in the blossoms and fragrance of meditation in a state of awareness and consciousness with an inner smile at how serious the world is sometimes. Om-m-m-m-m-m and the mystical, powerful, pure mantra – Om mani padme hum

Trap of ‘NO-No’

Trap of ‘NO-NO’ 👀
Inline image
December 3, 2020
Change is the only permanent thing in life, and that’s not the change in your pocket. A habit, primarily a bad one, becomes deeper and deeper and a ‘tattoo’ on the false you. Change for the better is always an option. The society, especially at this virus time, is masking the ‘yes smile’ that we use to see even passing by a stranger on the sidewalk. Apart from that, it’s good to ask yourself if you are a ‘no-no person’ with more often a negative attitude than positive? It’s easier to say ‘no’ than yes. I especially learned that on Wall St. when looking for business.

A few months ago, there was a man being restrained by police who said he couldn’t breath. The non secret to life is ‘breath’. We can survive without seeing, hearing, speaking, etc., but not without the ‘breath of life’! All that moves needs to breath. Not just to breath but to breath fresh air for protecting health and the immune system. Everyone needs it, and from nature. At least an hour a day of healthy ‘nature’ breathing outside is better than an ‘apple a day’ while never breathing fresh air.

There is a song at this time of year, ‘All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth’ by the legendary memorable singer, Nat King Cole. Well, there are a lot of inner values even more important. Without breath, nothing is important. Today with the virus and ‘misinformation’ distributed my the media, the majority are in ‘lockdown’ from breathing fresh air, but opting for unneeded masks to block fresh air. No credible, objective so called expert would agree it’s necessary, especially walking alone in the fresh air.

The world of individuals needs much more love, and there seems to be a shortage in minds and hearts of how to get more. Being more informed on ‘goings on’ in the country with integrity is a good use of breath. Breath is best with freedom. Masking freedoms without deep understanding and research of ‘why’ is to put the ‘breath’ in fear, anxiety and needless ‘worry control’ from the ‘media with an agenda for personal ‘benefits’ while not being in the highest integrity.

Love is in the Air. What’s rarely said is that the ‘air is love’. That’s why ‘fresh air is important’ not to mention the art of breathing, which is called meditation to be in sync with your higher and spiritual self. We must never forget though that the body is the temple of that spirit of breath. Time to say ‘yes-yes’ more and kNOw it’s best!

Smoking Pot or Meditation?

Smoking Pot or Meditation? 🍹
Inline image

November 28, 2020
What goes around, goes around. It’s good to talk about anything. Sometimes we need to relax and have a beer or a good hit of weed. Most agree that it’s ok. Too much of anything seems to be a problem, most would agree. For those choosing neither, a relaxing stimulant, god bless them. It’s a confusing, stress full world for most. Things are changing at alarming rates and the speed of that is out of control. WE need to keep all of our ‘mechanisms’ in top working order especially our mental, emotional, spiritual, and common sense working at top notch.

Any psychological professional would agree that there can be too much beer or too much

weed consumed for personal inner growth. It’s counter to their trying to help free yourself from accumulated ‘flotsam’ floating in the brain and heart. However, it pays the bills and all the luxuries that are gifts from the profession.

Now there is another ‘backup method’ to what stimulates the mind that all sensible, honest, informed professionals of mind or religion like to avoid talking about, or especially promote. That ‘back up method’ is methods of life’s greatest gift, ‘breathing’ or the ‘art of breathing’, sometimes called ‘meditating’ techniques … or meditation. Meditation was unheard of in America until the 2nd half of the 20th century. Stimulants precede our founding fathers as a ‘quick fix’. Now days it’s so quick, some nefarious souls drop it in others drinks for ‘mind control’. It’s kind of like ‘pulling the rug out from under you’ where you lose all control of the mind, and other faculties.

Dancing can become a form of meditation where the dancer becomes the dance and with a natural loss of the mind. Many happenings can become the gift of pure awareness, … and naturally. Meditating frees the heart and mind, and deeply from all prior distractions or impediments to being the ‘free you’ void of all unnecessary fear and control. Meditation brings you up with no down. It’s not a temporary blanket … and it’s free. That’s why the ‘shrink’ avoids bringing it up. In the case of the ‘religion head’, they know, (Or … maybe don’t know it?) frees the need for religion and it’s ‘beliefs’. Beliefs can and do become a ‘drug’ or stimulant. Someone just said to, me if ‘mistletoe’ can be a meditating devise? Hmmm? Well love and especially deeper love is a meditation, and maybe the ‘deeper love’ is all that’s needed. Stimulants are quick picker uppers. What makes you up, will bring you down. Meditation is a clearing of what’s not really you into a natural inner joy and bliss. And, it’s free!

Triggering someone’s negative reaction to your ‘good intention’ thoughts is certainly bothersome.You may interact with negative people daily, be they friends, family members, a partner, or a colleague. You love them, you care about them, you can’t just cut them out of your life, but they are negative and their negativity is troublesome. What can you do? The best way of dealing with life’s challenges is to take a good look at ourselves and taking responsibility for what we think, feel and do.

You are running the ‘YOU show’. No need to complain. Make sure you are taking responsibility for your feelings and mood. Why complain that other people’s negativity is affecting you, it will only create more negativity. Take responsibility for your thoughts and feelings and see what you can do to make yourself feel better and change the existing situation. Don’t forget your senses of humor and ability to laugh at yourself.

Take responsibility for your feelings and mood. Complaining about others negativity is useless. See what you can do to make yourself feel better and change the existing situation. Look closely at the negative people in your life. Is what they are doing really that bad or is your brain playing games with you? Remember, the brain is configured to look for trouble, and it focuses on other’s negative qualities. It’ll be very hard to get it to see the positive side of things, but it doesn’t mean there isn’t one. Look for the hidden opportunities.

If you want to cure negativity, sliding down right along with the negative person won’t help, it will just make it worse by validating their thought and behavioral patterns. Rather, focus on solutions, not problems. Instead of being a victim and judge, you need to take full responsibility for your thoughts and feelings, and take a different approach. “Everything that annoys us in others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves.” – Carl Jung.

Work on understanding life’s inevitable duality – accept the negative with the good. Life is really ‘non duality’ where there is no right and wrong, black and white, it’s usually some sense of in between. Don’t harp on people’s negativity, don’t judge or fight them. Let them be, look and accept. Remember, your world is no more real than a reflection of who you are, deep inside. Don’t try to bring everyone into your own world, accept theirs as no less real than yours, and their point of view as no less valid.

Dealing with negativity and trying your best to dispel it can be exhausting, and at some point, you have to move on with your life in a positive way. Find a path that allows you to go on with your life without the negativity of others, but also, without the regret that leaving a loved one or friend behind may cause you. Remember, like a plane – forward, upward, and onward!

Get on the Ground

Get on the Ground!!!

November 13, 2020

Drop your mind! Comply to what you are not in control of. Use common sense and awareness with discernment. Life precedes you and stays long, long after you are gone. Always look to make the best decisions. If you don’t, life will come up with one that you may not find to your fancy. Be the caretaker of ‘you’ in body, mind, and spirit. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Not yesterday! Always do not forget to take out the garbage. In this case, always empty the garbage in your head, especially that which has haunted you for years.

No one wants to let garbage pile up. It can be called ‘STUFF’ that is saved decade after decade. The material needs to not accumulate, but particularly the stuff lugged around in the head which serves nothing but the ‘shut down’ of who you really are. Be courageous and do something about it! Believe in a God or not (and remember it’s just a word for the English speaking), and it’s not meant for anyone to worship the letters…that’s not the real thing. Many, many cultures have many languages and perceptions of god.

Be open to love and the feeling in the heart. Let love rise into the mind with discernment of the best possibilities for all situation’s. Life is like a puzzle on how to react/respond to all stimuli and that ‘stimuli’ may be the perceptions within you. BE like ‘Superman’ who was disabled when someone brought a hard substance called Kryptonite making him lose his magical powers. Use that imaginary kryptonite to take the energy out of negativities. Always remember though that the negative can be a teacher, and an opportunity to look for a positive solution. If the negative is harming your life, make the best of it using step by step into the light out of it.

Today was the superstitious ‘Friday the 13th’ where bad luck is more likely…supposedly. Tremendous rain this morning. Haven’t used an umbrella in a long time, and as I started out into the rain someone offered me an umbrella. I opened it on the porch and knocked over a prize plant breaking the vase. Picked up the broken pieces and then the same person brought me a new planter from the garden and all was ok. I decided to stay out of the rain. 20 minutes later a resident alerted me that the overflow sink in the laundry room basement had overflowed. We did our best to fix it. The rest of the day was marvelous. Negativity knows no season but along with it comes positive solutions that reduces negativities. It’s important to keep your feet on the ground, head in the stars and your heart in the one season of open to love. Stop resisting! Get in your heart! Make life a ‘walk in the park’.
