Only You

Time never actually changes - time is and always was - NOW.


What changes is how you see NOW!


"This won't work because it never did in the past!" is an erroneous idea.


There is no past. What 'didn't work' is your perception.


Nothing 'out there' ever changes - it responds. According to your perception.


The only thing that changes is how you see things.


Only YOU ever change!


"Out there" is a culmination we call reality, of how you respond - what you choose - what you perceive.






By choosing to see the glass half empty instead of half full creates an opportunity for you to make more choices based on your perception of how much water is in the glass.


For example, if you're thirsty you may choose to become irritated that the glass is half empty. Irritation causes you to lash out at those around you. Those around you then become irritated. This could cause you to be careless and spill the water in the glass. Then you might choose to be angry. See how this scenario could escalate and change based on the choices YOU make?






For example, if you're thirsty you may choose to be ecstatic that the glass is half full. Relief for your thirst causes you to become calm and satisfied. This could cause you to fall asleep on the couch with an empty glass in your hand. No one may even know you're in the room. See how this scenario could easily pass without notice based on the choices YOU make?






How many other "glass of water" scenarios can you think of?


Why??? Why can you think of other scenarios around the same platform of a glass of water...?


Because of choices. Many, many choices.... That only you can make for yourself, in the moment.


And every single choice you make causes different reactions, and therefore different manifestations in your "reality".






You cannot control the sourness of a lemon or the sweetness of honey.


Or can you. More importantly, why would you want to?


Some say that not only are the lemons not sour nor the honey sweet... but that neither of them actually exist at all! They are only "manifestations" of what you believe they are.


So the next logical question is.... Why then, do we ALL see the same lemons, and we ALL perceive them to be SOUR??


How is it that we all perceive the exact same thing at the exact same time, everytime we see a lemon??






The point is perception and the basic "laws" of this world we live in, this earth, this plane of existence, this dimension.... Certain things appear basically the same for all people. Like the sourness of lemons. My perception of lemons however, is my choice.... I don't change the sourness, I change how I choose to experience it.


I can hate it because its sour.


I can tolerate it because its sour.


I can appreciate it because its sourness is actually an indication of other beneficial properties.


I can combine it with honey to compliment the sourness so that it actually becomes enjoyable.


I can like it because its sour!


These are all choices based on how I might perceive lemons. Choices. But the lemon never changes, only I do.


I am not changed by the lemon, I am changed by my choice.


My choice gives me my identity, makes me who I am, defines my energy.






There are billions of others seeing NOW also. This is why it often seems like you have no control over 'your world'.


So you are most likely to find peace when you are aware of the control you have over your immediate world - you can't change certain events, you can only change how you react to them, how you choose to experience them.






All those other billions of people represent every OTHER possible perception.


When we find others with like perception - we bond, we flow faster, we have a different frequency, we're stronger. Those that differ too far from our perceptions are like static, on a very low, dense frequency... Not very clear at all.






Put the horse before the cart and be amazed....


Stop thinking that changing the world is the answer. It isn't! You can't!


You can only change Y.O.U.


You can only be Y.O.U.






BE the change you want to see.


Act the way you want others to act.


Listen the way you want to be listened to.


Look as intently as you want others to look at you.


Feel the way you wish others would feel!


Forgive.


Let go.


Stop judging and worrying about the justice that "THEY" deserve.


"THEY" will get theirs!!!

New Health Care

There is so much talk and worry and debate flying about chaotically concerning health care in America. And most of it is nothing more than politics, fear and ignorance.


There are people who just will not see any other way than their own. Its too frightening, too much work to change, or refocus on something else, even if "something else" is much better for them.


So therein lies complacency. Therein lies the proverbial stick in the mud.


But the newest horizon indeed offers a much better way! And a LOT of people are waking up to it! The concept is not new, but there is a new way of seeing it - in the light.


The concept is - that of being healthy as opposed to needing 'health care' because you're sick. The term "wellness plan" is one that most of us are familiar with. But its still designed to support the current Western Medical System. Maybe you've heard the term Big Pharma.... If not, google it. It's all part of a system.... that's part of a system.... that's part of another system... that is no longer working. And people aren't buying it anymore. Because they're waking up, and realizing.... they don't have to!


America has taught society that we must have & do certain things in order to be "good", "normal", "acceptable", "RESPONSIBLE"..... For instance, we must have a family doctor and we must visit them regularly to see if we're sick! We must take our children and animals for vaccinations or we're contributing to the spread of disease! We must have our pets spayed or neutered or we're contributing to overcrowded animal shelters and the suffering of millions of helpless animals! We must send our children to school in order to get an education! We must attend organized religious services or we'recheating GOD. We must use sunscreen to avoid getting skin cancer. We must never smoke! Anything! We must vote! Or we're un-American and have no appreciation for the freedom we have in this country! We must drink milk to get our vitamin D! We must eat meat to get plenty of protein! If it's not FDA approved it's not safe so we must take only prescription drugs from a doctor! We must take prescription drugs if we have any sort of condition! We must never listen to someone who tells us that there is a better way outside of this box.... They're quacks! They just want our money! They just want to scam us! Unlike doctors, drug companies, insurance companies, veterinarians, politicians and lobbyists.....


And in light of that, you should stop reading this information right now.


I am here to suggest that it is possible to be organically healthy. Without doctors and lawyers and politics and synthetic drugs.... Amazing isn't it. Kind of confusing almost..... Healthy. Here's a challenge - Do you know anyone who is "healthy"? Anyone who doesn't have something....? A disease, an allergy, a condition, a syndrome, a disorder....? Do you know anyone who is NOT on some sort of prescription drug?


This is not a decree of anarchy against good-hearted, compassionate healers - no matter what their title is. But we all know that there is a "system" that is controlled strictly by profit margins and has nothing to do with genuine health or compassion for humanity. We just don't do anything about it. Because its "the system". Its too big for us!


Here's a suggestion: Rather than 'fight the system' and lose, why not just make a different personal choice? Why not allow yourself to be educated? We live in what has become known as "the information age". There are no excuses for ignorance.


Alternative medicine is growing by leaps and bounds! Why? Because so many people are indeed educating themselves. So many people see that the 'same ol' is getting us nowhere and costing us dearly. And these people are being brave enough to take a stand and experience true responsibility for themselves and their families.


YES, you can be healthy! Better nutrition, physical activity, organic medicines from nature, personal spiritual practices to release stress.... These methods are as old and proven as recorded history itself. The reasons people are suffering and dying from sickness in 2011 are the same reasons people in any other age and time have suffered and died - ignorance.


Beyond ignorance is a forked path. One path is that of enlightenment, the other is stupidity.


Enlightenment allows us to be responsible for ourselves. Stupidity is having the knowledge and wisdom of a better way, yet choosing not to take it.


Rather than being mandated to have a personal physician, why not find a holistic practitioner to consult if you need health advice? This would erase your need for health insurance (since few insurance companies cover holistic services anyway!). The money you would've spent on insurance would more than cover any instance you would have to see a holistic practitioner.


Rather than vaccinate our natural immune systems to death, why not gain understanding of what the vaccinations are for in the first place and why they ever seemed necessary? Vaccinations were a grand concept on the foundational level, but no one remembers what that foundational level was! So now the concept is lost and it is producing greater harm than good.


Rather than spay and neuter our animals, why not do a little research and understand where that concept came from? It's to control the animal population, right? What other ways are there to control the animal population? Responsibility maybe? Spaying and neutering doesn't do anything to control irresponsible breeders does it??? Spaying and neutering is NOT harmless to our animals!


Rather than send our children off to school, why not parent them? Why not teach them how to be whole people? This is learned from family not public school. If you think you aren't qualified to teach your children, then how are you a functioning member of society? How could you bring a child into the world in the first place? How did YOU get thru school? A lot of the problems of youth in America today would vanish if parents would make their children part of their lives again....


Organized religion does nothing for the soul. Only YOU can have your relationship with GOD.... whomever or whatever you believe GOD to be.


Sunscreen is more harmful to the skin than the sun is. Who supplies sunscreen to the millions of people who have lived in the sun for generation after generation? These people rarely get skin cancer.... How is that??


Propaganda would have us believe that cigarettes cause lung cancer. What causes cancer in people who don't smoke? Some other "sin"???


If I have to vote, then I am not free.... America is the greatest country that has ever lived. That doesn't mean that I must be blind to the absolute absurdity that currently embodies our government. THAT - to be blind - is un-American! Government for the people, by the people.... This does not mean that I must become an activist or politician to express my freedom or my values. If individual Americans would become responsible for themselves, then we wouldn't need to debate anything that our government currently spends trillions of dollars to debate. Our current government is built on the assumption that people are idiots. What are you doing to prove that system incorrect?


Vitamin D does not come from milk. It comes from..... the sun. Cows milk is for baby cows, not humans. Why did humans ever begin drinking cows milk?


We do not need meat to get ample supplies of protein. You'd be amazed at how much protein is in good, non-animal foods!


The FDA has a history of approving more deadly drugs than all of nature combined can produce... Not to mention all the food that is available in this country. FDA approved "food" is killing an entire nation but marijuana is illegal... because its.... harmful??


Never question a doctor. They know everything. Because they, unlike us, are...... People...? Who write prescriptions....






There are many many simple ways to begin to be healthy and not sick. The choice is yours and yours alone. No one needs to judge another for their choices. The consequences of our choices do that for us.

No More Rules

You have to know when to hold'em,

know when to fold'em,

know when to walk away,

and know when to run....

You have to KNOW! Cuz there ain't no rules to fall back on anymore. The time for rules is over. Its time to come out into the light of day and be who you are - no rules required. Freedom.

You Know!

In every age past, we have always relied on rules, regulations, laws, policies to live our lives. Have these rules made the world any better? No.

Because rules don't change human hearts. Even America is becoming more and more enslaved with rules and laws, the Land of the Free.

Where will this stop? It won't. It can't. Because there's always going to be "a human" that has no regard for what's good, right and beneficial for all.

There will always be a new rule born to stay every evil, every human ill and flaw, until.......... We are once again, as in every case in recorded history, somebody's slave. (aren't we now...?)

Rebellion and revolt is not the answer. Has it ever worked before? No. Because here we are again.

The only answer is to take responsibility for yourself. YOU do what is right. And don't worry about anybody else. Look at the world now... Look at Mother Nature... Look how out of control and unpredictable everything is. There is no longer any validation for the rules. They don't work. They suffocate us who are good, and never stop or control those whom the rules were initially made for.

So! They killed Bin Laden. Did that stop terrorism?!?!?!?!? Will it ever stop terrorism???? No.




You hear this a lot lately but there's a reason for that... Be the change you want to see. Period.

You KNOW! Now LIVE

The True Teacher

The true teacher does not evangelize nor proselytize, but instead is like a rock in the middle of the road - there to be picked up by the aware and the seeking, and scoured for any wisdom that they may contain. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and likewise, wisdom is in the heart of the seeker.

History in and of itself is not ego

History in and of itself is not ego - it is YOU. You are an accumulation of experiences and those experiences are ever present in YOU.
To objectify a past event and give it power is ego. To make a past event a concept instead of a living tool is ego. Concepts without present, living energy are the beginnings of patterned behavior. Patterns void of awareness become traps.
