The times they are a changing.  It seems that a gear has slipped in the progression of business as usual.  It is being called a recession.  The bubble bursts and out flows our illusion of control.

Survival.  The word of the day.  Economic survival, survival of our planet, survival of our bodies and survival of our sense of self.  Nothing survives in form forever.  Only Consciousness has that role.

For those who are still trying to hold onto control, I feel your pain.  I feel the panic of being out of control.  The deep anguish of knowing that death is just around the corner.   What to do?

Allow change to happen.  It is going to happen anyway.  Interface with the future like we do with our past.  The layers of  past programing  need to be eliminated.  I see the layers falling away in many of those people I have worked with in flower essence readings.  I see amazing evidence of evolution in many engaged in their Human Design experiment.  I see people waking up all over the place.  The times seem to be ripe for awakening.

What a change that would be.  Going from asleep to awake.  From resisting to allowing.  From fear to gratitude.  We are witnessing the end of an age.  An age based on the use of fear to manipulate political and profit based will.  All based on a frightened little ego, cowering in the dark, trying to preserve itself as best it can.  I say, “Give up!”  There is a power that knows the way.  Our job is to have faith in That.  And finally, to know that I am That.  What a blessed change.

Where have I been for the last month?  The action of life has been so consuming that there has been little energy left for blogging.  Between the world financial markets falling apart, the reality that it may be too late to correct the climate crisis and just getting old, the mind has been working overtime to deal with it all.  What’s a mind to do?

I was in California for a week visiting my daughters.  Being with family during these times seems like the most soothing thing for my nervous nelly tendencies.  Nothing like a lot of hugs and love.  I saw Religulous , the movie, and highly recommend it to all.  Finished the third book by Jed McKenna, Spiritual Warfare, and I was enormously impacted.  What a writer!  The central theme of the book is that we are so scared of our death that we go into denial and don’t get the significance of actually being alive.  Yep, I am going to die, and I refuse to acknowledge it.  What an impact!  The jist of it seems to be that we loose sight of the miracle of life.  Put another way, wake up.  Life is happening right now.

So in retrospect, my mind has been perceiving major issues and problems in such a way as to blind me to the simple reality that I Am alive and well right now.  I am not alone in this, as many people have shared similar confusing stories with me during their essence readings.  The flower essences that came up addressed the personal crap that each person was blinded by.  Not just salve on a wound, but a direct salvo to destroy the minds latest and greatest stunts and skits.   What is left is the essential Self.  Hang in their folks.

Time has shifted.  Things are a bit different.  My daily reality consists of moving up into the mind and then down into the body over and over again.  I am continuing to experiment with being in the body rather than the head.  I am buzzing right now as I write about it.  A fullness, a presence fills the body and it’s surrounding field.

It could also be fueled by the seemingly minor adjustment that I have made regarding where I look for the answers.  I began my flower essence “work” with guides and devas.  Also, with a God out there.  Making the little adjustment to looking for answers and God inside has pulled down a house of cards for me.  I have had to own each of those guides as me.  I am is so big.  Yet, I have been eager to believe in authority other than my own. This experiment for me is quickening.  I am.  So are You.

This category, “Deep Thoughts” has been a surprise to me.  I started a few months ago trying to fill in something, anything, that fit with deep thinking.  My own opinions on the relative value of the mind and thinking have seemed to create a bit of a stir.  I just got a  comment from Rick on many good uses of the mind, which deserves a response.  He is basically stating that he hears Human Design people saying the mind has no use. He offers, “It is my mind that feels my gut and my heart and puts those feelings into actions words and thoughts.”

What do you think about that my friends?  Get it?  Think about that.  IT IS ALL THINKING.  We are programed to evaluate everything by thinking.  Rick says it is his mind that is doing the feeling.  I’m sorry Rick, but you need to press the cosmic reset button and drop back into the You you are anyway.  That is not done by thinking.  I also totally get where you are coming from Rick.  I have been riding that road for most of this trip.  Now is a grand experiment in being ourselves.  If we would only stop thinking for just a moment.  I have spent a  life time of trying to be more worthy, to manifest more, to attract what i wanted and/or needed.  It has been a full time job.  The experiment now for me is turning in my resignation slip.  I give up.  I  allow what is to be. No more wishing, hoping and praying.

Feeling through my body.  Reminding myself that Consciousness, God, is all there is, and I AM THAT.  All that is left is silence.

Nine days ago I was a little sick, but not so sick that I couldn’t finish a series of blogs on the mind.  The body went down hill fast after that.  No medicines worked.  Sleepless nights.  Wow.  My companion throughout this period was my mind.  After just telling the world about how I don’t listen to it and that it is not my authority, it grabbed the upper hand.  Is there a price to pay for drawing the line in the sand regarding the mind????  It seems like the mind is the ultimate addiction in this life.  Trying to break it without any support structure is a job.  My only medicine was to not resist.  Let it kill me.  Something has died.  A peace or contentment has begun to take over.  No way to know what tomorrow will bring.  The good news is that some power has me in tow.  I surrender to that power.  What will be will be.

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!

    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.

Just a note here.  The reactions I am getting from those who are pouring the Holy Water into their ocean or waterway are amazing.  Lights, rainbows, changes in vibration are some of the stories people are telling me.  One lady told me that another women walked up to her hours after she had poured in the water and asked what had happened here to shift the energies.  I am excited.  If you want to try this, I now will pay for postage to get a bottle to you.  Just agree to pouring out the water in reverence and with the intention to clear and raise the vibration of water you are facing.  I would also appreciate your feed back.  What a fun thing to do for our planet!

This Deep Thoughts category has been eating away at my thoughts.  My buddy, Ken Stokes, set this blog up for me, and it was his idea to make such a category. There is so much garbage that could be dumped here; my mind is such a toxic dump.  I can think deep thoughts with the best of them.  Think, think, think.  Oh how we think.  We honor thinking above all else.  Deeper the better.  Blah, blah, blah.  Now we’re getting somewhere.  Where could that be?  Let’s think about it.  And we do.  For now, I’m thinking I’m sick of this thinking.  The I that is sick of thinking is my mind, sick of itself.  But, with no good options to experience, it continues from thought to thought.

I believe that I am really the Consciousness that is everything at once.  I remind myself of this through out each day.  Some times there is actually the experience of separation from the mind.  (It is kind of odd to have the mind remind itself to perceive from the perspective of the Divine)  But, that is the way it seems to be going.  As I correct my self/Self identity, shifts can occur.  At least that is the way it seems to be.  Better not do too much more thinking about this. I want to look for the next oasis where I can dive deep into the ocean of my soul.  Cute huh?  That is the way I put it in my last meditation/breathing CD, The Ocean Of Our Soul.  That whole CD was designed to encourage the experience of separating from the you you think you are.  Lofty idea.  I listened to it recently and was shocked at the depth of consciousness that took over.  It isn’t about the words that are fed to the hungry mind, it is about creating a shift.  Out of the mind and into what ever It is that is left.  We did a really good job on that CD.

I leave this now, having revealed the truth of my deep thoughts for the moment.  Ah, that feels better.

This full moon was the back drop for a lot of alchemy around here last night.  Making Holy water was on top of the list, but I was also processing Noni tea and compost tea.  I  gathered rain water, spring water and ocean water for the Holy water during the week, so the full moon day could be spent filtering and preparing the blend.  I moved the massive crystal from the center of the circle and got a good contact with the grid below so that I could put the spinner  down.  Everything worked better than ever before.

During the after noon, I stirred the compost tea in the biodynamic way and placed it and the Noni tea jar in the center of the garden.  Back in the heiau circle, the moon was magnificent.  Around 8:00 p.m. I spent about an hour spinning the bucket before my intuition told me that the vortex energies were sustained for long enough.  The water was left open for the night and is now under the full cycle of the sun to add full solar distillation before bottling.

One new step was taken in gathering the ocean water the day before.  I walked down to the ocean and swam out well beyond the breakers.  I filled a gallon jug and swam back in.  I left the jug on the beach while I went back in for a swim.  The ocean was busy playing with the jug when I got out.  I felt that the signature of the ocean was slapping the jug to leave the last impressions of ocean water on the glass.  Next, I took the jug to the ancient stone circle above the beach and left it there in the sun.  Finally, I was guided to place it in another shrine half way up the hill and next against the crystal in my heiau circle. This was my first involvement of the ancient shrines and also the first time that I worked with magnifying the ocean energies.

My own intuition is working stronger than ever.  This may be the most powerful batch of Holy water I have made.  I am going to take one gallon of this Holy water batch and disperse it  in several water ways on Kauai.  I intuitively feel that it can provide an acceleration of energies for humans by adding it to the rivers, ponds, lakes, streams and oceans.  If you are reading this, and feel pulled to disperse some of this in your own water ways, email me.  I will send you a small bottle free, if you pay for the shipping.  Please reference my offer.
