What a concept, time.  We measure it in years, months, weeks, days, minutes and seconds.  To me it seems like one long continuous flow of awareness.  Some part of us, the mind, holds the memories and impressions.  We weave them together as us, like the old cartoon books that you turn the pages fast to make a movie.  We believe that all of those memories, plus our genetic predispositions, are us.

The little me watches the movement of time, like the doomed man watches his last hours.  It screams out, “there is so little left.”  It groans in agony.  It certainly doesn’t want to celebrate the passage of time this new year.

A fullness envelopes me as I write.  I feel the energy in and around this body.  I disappears into it. . . . . . . .

Good by for 2008.

Cathi from Canada just sent me this feed back on her use of Holy Water:

“Last fall you gave me a reading for a remedy and as part of my order you sent a gift bottle of Holy Water; I wanted to tell you where it went!…As we (myself and my young daughter) are not presently living near water, I had held onto it as I had planned a trip to the Coast and was thinking of putting it in the ocean, however a few weeks ago we became quite ill with what seemed to be a “flu”.  I felt I was barely present in the body, and it seemed to be lingering; it occurred to me to start putting the Holy Water in the bath, and after doing this for a couple of days, we started to recover when nothing else had seemed to help.
I really feel it is a special medicine.”

Greetings!  Another winter solstice and all that is wrapped around it.

In the back ground, fear and uncertainty are frothing.  Yet hope abounds.  A perfect polarity.

Nothing to do but watch the show as each new chapter is revealed.  The amazing miracle unfolds naturally, no effort required. The Consciousness that You are may awaken with the season.  Or not.  The miracle goes on with our attention or without it.   We are an extension of Consciousness.  What could we possibly need to change.  All of the minds positive thinking energies are overlooking the perfection of  all that already is.  So relax.

I say . . . give in.  Let it be as it is.  Put a little time into recognizing the blessing.  Kick up your heals and enjoy the season.  Be authentic about it.  There is no better time to remember who you are, and who you are needs no apology.  Let the love that is there pour forth.

My holiday time is blessed with my wife and two daughters at home, the garden just bursting with vegetables, avocados, oranges in season and a quiet confidence within.

I have been invited to share a little of what I have seen through my process of being initiated into flower essences. First I must say that I am highly suspicious of all things new age as I have seen the pursuit of them as no better or worse than any other pursuit of man, completely meaningless and void of any real substance.  The only pursuit I do see that seems worthwhile is a stripping away of all that is false. The layers and layers of mind-made “me” along with any and all beliefs, thoughts or opinions that things should somehow be different than they are.

So when informed that I would be receiving a series of these readings to help in what has already been years of deconstruction, and mind shattering annihilation, the “ I” was intrigued. My sense is that the “I” believed that this was somehow going to ease the pain, make the stripping-away process a little easier, and so on. If you count moving the present problem “de jour” out of the way so that a much bigger demon can rear its head well…then it worked.

My experience showed me that the essences did in fact help alleviate whatever I sensed or felt the problem was in the moment, however this relief was usually brief and short lived. What the essences really seem to do is act more as a lubricant so that the “true self/ that which cannot be destroyed” can move more swiftly through the carnage of the latest not self/false self battle (shattering of a mind made me) and  more clearly illuminate the next demon to be faced. To this end the essences exceeded any possible expectation the “I” could have had.

Now a little on the man and his magic: Ken is an incredibly powerful being, his aura actually impacts you directly towards the perfection of your own form.  He uses his intuition which has proven impeccable at identifying which of the 100’s of bottles that cover his wall are for you. There is no mind involved. Although I am sure his work is just effective for those seeking a little feel good, a little better sense of well being or whatever. Ken’s real joy, his real impact seems to be in working with people whom have left all teachers and teachings behind in order to become their “own” inner authority.

For those whom have realized that they are not comfortable in their own bodies, and see that they have been seeking anything to avoid being with themselves. For those whom have faced the truths of the oppression of their own minds and are ready to play grown up.  For those that are in or are looking to enter into the painful process of deconstruction, and face the muddy, bloody mess that such a journey entails, then the essences may be a real asset.

I am also not suggesting that anyone should embark on the fore-mentioned journey. However for those that have no choice in the matter, and are ready to claw themselves free of the chains that have held them in bondage for eons, Ken maybe your greatest ally. He certainly has been one of mine.

Flower essences, from my perspective at least; is a nice fluffy way of asking:  Would you like to have your ass kicked?

This woman has been working with me and the essences for some time.  Her false self is falling apart.  Some times it is easy, and some times it seems hard.  The reward is found going through the pain.

“Thank you for the reading… this one is a heavy hitter… major house cleaning is happening … issues of LOVE, idea of LOVE, sense of LOVE, longing for LOVE…. My body is exhausted from crying and pain even only taking it once a day.  Looking for a comfort, just to hold someone’s hand, yet I am not sure if this is not-self’s longing or my body’s longing… What to do?  TO WHOM IS THIS PAIN COME FROM?  WHO IS CRYING ANYWAY?  Deep gratitude for your gifts… “

For me, taking the Essences is a continuation in the further eradication of triggered emotional responses (due in large part to past pain/past conditioning). It’s excess baggage my body doesn’t need and I’ve been in this process of peeling ‘layers’ of the self, for almost two years now, diving headfirst into the pain in order to eradicate it. Taking the Essences has really provided a sense of renewal and courage to take another leap into the ‘unknown’ and go further because “I” thought I was ‘done’ and that I could just ‘sit on the couch’ for the rest of my days (many mahalos to you, KC :).
From the first reading, it’s felt like a progression, in the body. With regard to the body’s centers, it feels more like an awakening, an expansion. And then at times, it might even be described as pressure or like there is a weight on my chest, pushing upward toward the throat. It feels as if I am relearning how to speak, but from the body, instead of the mind. For an emotional being with the power to create, there is also the power to unleash fury and destroy. This was by far, the most humbling part to experience in this ‘process’ of annihilation, and still is. It’s knowing when to ‘shut up’ when in the midst of an emotional reactive mood, because that’s all it is…a mood…a reaction chemically, or a reaction to a conditioned thought (mostly negative). The mind has been my deepest conditioning to overcome.
Truly does feel like an accelerated process at the moment in taking the Essences because the hand picks up the bottle whenever it reaches for it and the body is more than happy to oblige and ‘see what happens next’. It’s been a joy to discover how my body has responded after each reading. Feels like the right direction to me. Feels like the real me is coming through more, becoming more alive. Lately, the way in which I express myself has changed and these expressions are much more truthful and correct, rather than just mind babble fueled by erratic and chaotic emotions.
Simply Being is what saved me from my own mind’s worldly hell and it also killed me too. I went completely mad. Snapped. And now, less is more. You know, come to ‘think’ of it, it’s good for the mind to take a backseat in this process of ‘stripping down to nothing’.
I just took the Essences about 15 minutes ago, and a thought of ‘correctness’ came through…real quick and nothing dramatic. Just what the eyes ‘see’ and have ‘seen’ and immediately there was a flutter, deep inside the G…and a few seconds later another, with it going up to the throat. “Wake up, wake up. You have something to say do you?”
