Getting closer to the point

As I blog on, I am led to clarify what I’ve recently written. The point of this, for all of us, is to figure out who am I. Socrates led the list of philosophers in establishing this question mantra. It appears like almost everyone is missing the answer. If God is omnipresent, that means everywhere. In you and me and every rock and tree. The problem in getting that seems to be one thing: the mind and its pattern of interpreting everything. Without this problem mind, there is only letting go and resisting nothing. What does God have to resist? It sounds easy. But, it is not part of the mind’s patterns of analyzing and resisting out of fear.

The point is You are your only authority. There is nothing outside of us that comes close. What about all that powerful channeled material? I used to love it so. Great stuff for the mind in its quest to figure it all out. What about the Pope? Do I really have go there? Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Budah, and Krishna were examples of understanding their own Divine nature, but that doesn’t mean we should look at what they said to make decisions in our lives. There must be some help! I mean we seem to need help. Right?

My path, in addition to flower essences, has been Vedanta for a long time. That is the stuff that Eckhart Tolle wrote about in The Power of Now and New Earth. To catch up on this, go to Oprah.com to review their 2008 webcast. My favorite author, now deceased, is Robert Adams, Silence of the Heart.

Over a year ago I ran into Human Design. It is very close to Vedanta when you look at it deeply. Since then, it has run over me. It is an amazing tool. The point of it, in my opinion, is to align with your own unique vehicle of expression of the omnipresent Divine. It is not for the faint of heart. The bottom line with it is that your mind is not your authority. You never make decisions with your mind. Not with any bodies mind either. The system identifies your own unique vehicle in this incarnation, and it supports a new understanding on who you are and aren’t, as well as how to make a decision correctly. Sound cool? Well it is! If you want to check it out, look at HumanDesignAmerica.com, HumanDesignHawaii.com(you’ll love my dear friend John) or email my wife at kauaigoddess@gmail.com. She does readings.

Well, that is the point: You are your own authority. Or, if that is too much, just let go to life. Baby steps seem to help, and checking out the stuff I mentioned will be enough to engage anyone for a long time. One final note here. In Human Design, I am a splenic manifestor. That means that my main gift is intuition for others. I finally am living my design in that I mainly do intuitive flower essence readings for people and my design not only allows me to be intuitive, but I can share it with others. What a joy! Enjoy your ride my friends!

Ravings of a mad man

    I feel moved to write.  Where are those deep thoughts?  Those morsels of mind that I love to chew on, and even better, to inform others of.  Well, I’ve been out of the informing others pattern for a while.  This blog isn’t to inform any body.  It is an attempt at true confessions of a mad man.  That is right.  The i is mad.  I confess here and now to be more than that.  I am effortless, choiceless pure awareness.  For most of this life i have been unaware of that.  No more though.

Life is happening, and I am thinking about it.  Worrying about this and that.  My mind is in big time fear.  Death is it’s number one fear.  I have spent a life thinking about it.  My father told me that the streets of heaven were paved in gold.  Heaven, good luck.  The requirements seem to be difficult.  The mind could have death for every meal.  Fortunately, I don’t give a hoot about what the mind says.  Life is happening now.  Open to it.  Get in the body.  Listen to the frequencies.  And of course, let us not forget about the life line of the breath.  Lately, I have been saying  to myself, I Am, one word with each part of the breath cycle.  Why?  Because I have had it with the mind.  The worrying, judging, anxious helper.  I am not it, and who I Am is too good to miss.

Good night all.  There is nothing to think about.  Let it all go now.  Sink into the You you have always been.  Sleep tight.

Food

My little experiment in grazing and dining in the garden this week is making something clear.  One needs a lot less volume of stuff going in the mouth when the stuff is just picked.  The mind worries about not having enough to eat, when the reality is that we have plenty to eat right in the back yard garden.  Add a little fruit, and that should do it.

It is our conditioning around the social value of eating cooked processed food together that holds us back from seeing the obvious.  Eat your food right off of the plant or tree and you will receive way more nourishment.  Just reporting from my experience.

More dinner in the garden

Chris, my wife, has been traveling and I have gotten further away from normal meals.  I am grazing as I work throughout the day.  The last four nights I have eaten out of the garden directly.  It grows on me.  I feel really energized on small quantities of leaves, beans, herbs and flowers.  I have been using my intuition to go from plant to plant and it seems to work wonderfully.  My mouth feels zingy from the herbs and mints.  There is so much food in the garden.  It is odd that we learn to prefer the packaged starches and sugars instead of live food.  I am happy to report that I am hooked.
