How big is One?

Three Dog Night, a Rock Group in the 70's, had a song about One being the loneliest number.  If you're old enough to remember that I'm sure it's rolling around in your head right now.  That being said, what I want to do today is provide you my thoughts on the "One", and in this case the "One Mind".  Much has been said, and written about this in the past, but we are coming up to a time when I believe we need to look at it one more time, if for no other reason than to remind you of a few things.

I've said this many times that we as humans are nothing more than energy.  Energy first, energy second, energy forever.  All energy came from the same place, at the same time, and will remain until the very end.  As such we need to look at energy like we might see the water in the ocean.  If you were to be at the beach and pulled a bucket of sea water out of the ocean, is that water in the bucket any different than the water in the ocean?  Nope, same, same.  The location might be different now, but it's still the same water.  Likewise, if you pull energy from one location to another, is it not still the same energy?  The Ocean is the total sum of its parts.  In the same way energy in this ever expanding Universe is also the total sum of its parts.  Here's the big difference between the waters of the Ocean and energy.  While the total mass of water in any body of water can, and will change over time, the energy we have right now, has always been, and will always be.  Not one bit will leave, not one bit will be destroyed, and not a single bit will be created.  Energy will shift in form, it will not however be created.  

Why have I provided this lesson in Quantum Physics?  If all energy is one, then we humans walking this planet are one, joined since the beginning of time, and maybe it's time we combined our forces to do something great.  As I said earlier many have written about the One Mind, but how many people really believe this, and an even more important question, how many people attempt to utilize this most powerful element in the Universe?  I liken it to being in the middle of a parched dessert, no water for days, and I hand you a glass of water.  You have two choices: drink it and live, or continue on your search for water and die.  Which one makes more sense?  Why do we always seem to want to take on life alone?  If many hands make lite work, why are we always trying to do things by ourselves?  Isn't it wiser to combine forces and get things done in a mighty way?  Sadly we have been taught that we are individuals, and that if it is worth having it can only be significant if we do it by ourselves.  Sorry, but I just don't buy that.  There was a time when I needed to do everything by myself, because this was providing me with a sense of worth.  Let me say this: your worth is not, has not, and never will be based on what you do.  Your worth is based on you, and only you.  Whether your are a Doctor, Lawyer, a Surgeon, or just that person riding on the back of a Waste Management Truck, you all have equal worth.  Thinking otherwise is nothing more than falling into the trap that too many people are in right now.

So why have I brought up the subject of the "One Mind"?  We are at a pivotal point in our development as a species.  This critical juncture is either going to thrust you forward in the things you were created to do, or you are going to simply miss the boat, and wander about wondering why things just aren't what you expected or dare say I, wished for.   The singularity of the One Mind is so important to embrace as it will become the new foundation of all there is, if you allow it to be.  When we combine our beings we are unstoppable.  When we go about things by ourselves we might see some success, but not nearly to the level that would be achieved had we worked together.  

One of the last things I do before falling off to sleep at night is I set my intentions.  I call out my Home, my City, my State, my Country, the Globe, and the Universe.  I join with the so called "Collective" and I join forces with the rest of the Energies doing the same things.  Now you might think I'm crazy for doing this, but crazy is as crazy does.  Is it not better to hope for good, than accept only the bad?  Does it not make more sense to walk in peace, than exist in fear?  Here's the bottom line: either we accept the premise that we are all indeed one, or we simply continue to live a life based only on what we can accomplish as an individual.  

So how big is the "One"?  The enormity of the One cannot be quantified.  The power that comes from combining our forces cannot be over emphasized.  To some this is just dribble.  There are individuals who will never be able to grasp this idea because it can't be seen, or touched, or even imagined.  Sadly, there will be those who will turn up their noses and call it crazy.  Be that as it may, just because you can't see it, touch it, imagine it, doesn't mean it isn't real.  We are on the precipice of change, and part of that change is going to be understanding just who and what you are.  Awakening is going to come to every single person on this planet at some point.  Many have already begun to walk in this awakening, others are about to enter the fray, others will not find out until it's too late.  

Here is my request from each of you.  If what I write today resonates with you please move forward in it, and accept that we are indeed one.  If what you have read is nothing more than a fairy tell to you, maybe it's time you start believing in Fairies.  Maybe I'll touch on that subject another day LOL.  Either way, you must decide what you will do with this information.  Whether one wants to believe it or not, there is much riding on what we do next.  There are things that need to be done, but they will only be done when we join together.  

Let me leave you with this question:  if we were never intended to do things jointly, if we were meant to always tackle every issue on our own, why in the world were we created at the very same time?  It kind of defies logic that something put together at the same time was not intended to remain together at all times. We remain separate because we choose it.  Likewise, we remain joined because we believe and chose to do so.  There is, and always will be power in numbers.  If you argue this point, I'm sorry, you're an idiot.  We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to humanity, to join together and get the job done.  We are one for a reason.  We are one for a purpose.  We are one because it was always the intention of our Creator to operate as one.  Feel free to argue that point all day, but while you're doing that I will be combining forces with others to do the real work of the Universe.  I encourage each of you to join me in this mission, and when you do, you will see some pretty amazing things.  Peace, joy, love, and happiness to each of you.

 

What's Next?

Most everyone is trying to decide what is next in life.  Tons of individuals are wondering where is this journey taking me?  Others are just going with the flow, and to be honest, could care less what lies ahead for them.  No matter what category one falls into, there is always going to be a time in one's life where we will ask what's next.  What I'd like to do today is to open up your mind to possibility.  What I want to do today is encourage you to look at what is coming up as something that was designed for you a long, long time ago.  Each step of our individual journeys are ordered by the Universe.  There is nothing that is going to stop or change things that have been destined to happen.  What will or can change is how we react to these things, but in the end, what is destined to happen will happen.  What we need to do is accept this, work with it, learn through it, and grow, grow, grow.  

Let me begin with this:  we do indeed create our own reality with the words we speak, the feelings we have, and the thoughts that we entertain.  We can argue about this fact until the cows come home, but truth is truth.  Some will argue that if life has already been set since the beginning of time what does it matter what we say or do?  Well in a nutshell, what we say and do has already been determined, we simply haven't come to realize that yet.  I know this sounds like some crazy idea, but please bear with me as I try to explain.  

When we accepted this journey we also knew what we were going to go through.  It takes time for some to realize this, while others pick up on it quite early in life.  No matter what phase of life you might find yourself in, it is as it needs to be.  When the final whistle is blown, when the game is over, we will be where we were always intended to be.  The key to happiness is to realize that all things are in the order of the Universe, and when we can accept this fact, we can begin to live the life we were intended to live.  There is so much fear out in the world today.  Fear that stops people in their tracks, and fear that in all honesty is nothing more than a mirage. When we begin to accept the power that is within, that was placed inside of you at the moment of your creation, then fear is something that can never, or should never overtake you.  It is only when we do not understand our creative abilities, our uniqueness, our beauty, that we allow fear to be the driving force in our life.  Let me assure you that when fear drives all things, then you will never be able to obtain what was designated for you since your inception.

So what is next?  Do you allow others to dictate your actions?  Do you allow events to dictate your actions?  If you have the ability to create your reality why would you allow any outside force to take away what is yours?  If you were placed here to accomplish a certain thing, why would you allow any outside force to take from you what is yours?  You have to begin to accept your placed in the Universe.  These gifts are inside of you to help you in your journey of discovery.  These gifts are what you were given to aid you in accomplishing the things you were sent here to do.  I've said this before, we are not here just for the free popcorn.  Take a look at your life.  I think everyone would agree that each of us have a passion for something in life.  That passion was placed inside of you to be a guidepost to your destiny.  Your destiny is perfectly paired with the gifts that have been placed inside of you.  When you couple your passions with your gifts you now have the makings of something pretty incredible.  

I see so many people who are still trying to figure out what their place is.  I see countless people who are walking around just waiting for a sign.  I see people who simply can't decide what to do next.  Let me say this, stop the madness.  The time has come to be bold and simply say what passion you have, and don't worry what anyone else has to say about it.  Your passion was formed in you as a testament to what you are supposed to do in this life.  If you are unable to accept, or even acknowledge your true passion, it is doubtful that you will ever be truly happy in this life.  So maybe the answer to the question of what is next is to finally accept your true passion.  

We have all fallen victim to someone telling us we were mad for desiring something.  We have all had people tell us why we can't do something, or shouldn't do something.  If I had listened to what others told me I would never have become a writer.  If I had listened to what others told me I would never have started down this path of spiritual awakening.  Now don't think I have finished my journey.  I still have much to learn, but I am on the right path, and encourage each of you to stay on your path of discovery.  Never allow someone to rob you of your destiny because they could not accept your dreams, your aspirations, your passions.  There are plenty of unhappy people out there who would like nothing more than to bring you down to their level of misery.  You have a passion, you have a destiny, and if others cannot see that then walk away and hang out with people who do.

Here's what's next for each of us: a daily discovery of opportunity, or possibilities.  Each day brings something new to discover, and the only way we will not receive what is ours is if we close our eyes, our hearts, or our minds.  I fully get how many think we are crazy and gone off the deep end.  These are the very same people who have languished in fear, anxiety, and a whole lot of "woe is me".  The time has come to detach from the norm, and simply latch on to the marvelousness of who and what you are.  In accepting your greatness, you will step out into that magnificence that has always been you.  

Allow me to leave you with this final thought.  In a time when many are running around like a chicken with its head cut off, might I suggest that you simply take some time to let go of expectations, and instead simply be in the moment.  If one truly believes in the perfection of the Universe, why would you chose to not accept your own perfection, your own greatness, your own destiny?  If you believe in destiny then you will have all you need to accomplish and walk in your destiny.  What's Next?  Well that all depends on what you want, what you speak into existence, and what you ultimately desire in this life.  Our future is as boundless as is the boundlessness of the Universe.  It is time to unleash your unlimited abilities.  It is time to be at peace, and know that nothing can stop you from being the person you were intended to be.  I leave you peace, love, joy, happiness, and an unlimited amount of possibility in your life.

 

Time, Is it your friend, or an enemy? You have to decide.

We live with time 24/7, 365.  Some are controlled by it, others seem to move through life without the slightest regard to it.  Is there a right way or a wrong way to deal with time? Some individuals are so controlled by time that there is zero chance of any deviation to what is planned, or to what is expected.  The problem isn't so much that plans can change, and thus upset once's focus on time, the issue is really one of reality.  What do I mean by reality? Is time even a real thing?  What I want to do today is bring some insight, my insight into how I conceive time, and I hope it will bring some much needed clarity to those who have a hard time with the concept of time.  Now let me say this: no matter how you see time, whether you use it, ignore it, or even just go with it, there will be a time when we run out of it.  There is no ignoring the fact that one day we will be no more, at least in this flesh and blood body.  Our Spirit is eternal, and as such time in the Spirit Realm is non-existent.  If time is non-existent in the realm of spirit, then why do we make it such a thing down here on planet earth?  Asking for a friend.

One of the first things one needs to realize about time, or the appearance of time, is the simple fact that it is never going to be controlled by us.  Things come in the perfection of the Universe, not a second before it's meant to be.  Sadly that does not always line up with our wishes or desires, but then again, our wishes and desires do not always line up with what the Universe has planned for each of us.  One of the best things I can tell people is to trust the perfection of things, and live in that perfection.  If you are constantly trying to reinvent the wheel, always trying to push things through with your own might, you are going to hit brick wall, after brick wall your entire journey.  I fully understand how we want what we want instantly, but getting things right away is not always in your best interest.  Those who are wise will wait on the timing of the Creator, and those with wisdom will rest in all things knowing that the outcome is going to be better than they could have imagined.

I know many people at the moment who have needs.  One of the hardest things to do is to have faith in the process, knowing that the outcome has already been determined, even if you can't see it.  We've all been taught about faith, but how many walk in faith every minute of every day?  It's always been said that it is difficult to remember that the main purpose was to drain the swamp when you're up to your butt in alligators.  Well it is equally difficult to remember that you are walking in the perfection of all things when things are not as we desire in the moment.  One can sit around minute by minute, hour upon hour, day after day waiting for your ship to come in while what should be happening is you understanding that things will happen at the appointed TIME.  When we are able to take time out of the equation, when we are able to let go of things, when we simply live in the moment, this is the time that things happen.  One can drive themselves nuts waiting, wondering, hoping for something to come to fruition.  People are driving themselves crazy because they want all things now.  

I have put myself in situations throughout life that I didn't belong. I did this because I thought I knew better about timing, and after all was said and done, had I waited for the Universe, things would have turned out far better.  Now I learned valuable lessons during this process, but let's be real, failing at something  because I was too pigheaded to do things the right way still caused pain, still caused confusion, and yes, it created quite a bit of anger in my life.  I have since learned to let go of my concepts of time, and simply rest in the fact that I don't always know the best time for doing something.  I encourage you to learn from my mistakes, thereby reducing the risk of experiencing the same failures I had.  

When we relinquish our need to control all things pertaining to time, we allow things to happen in an order that cannot be messed up.  When we take our hands off the wheel of control, we allow the order of the Universe to be front and center.  When we allow the Universe to be front and center we magically find ourselves in a position of peace.  People often talk about the turmoil of life, but how much better is it to speak about the peace you live in?  People will always argue that they need to control time, as they have to control what goes on in their life.  Do you really think that you will ever change those things that have been destined for you since the beginning of time?  When we try to control time we take what was divinely created and bring it down to a level that can't possibly provide you what was always meant to be. I would much rather have all that the Universe has ordered for me, than what I can create on my own. Do you want the best?  Do you want to have all that was designed for you?  If you do, and I hope you answered in the affirmative, then let go of time, and simply remain in an attitude of gratitude and peace.  I fully understand how the events of recent days can bring an element of fear and anxiety, but fear and anxiety are not something that have to control you.  Fear and anxiety is nothing more than a loss of faith and hope.  A life without faith isn't something I want to experience, and neither should you.

When we live a life guided by faith, we take away the need to control time.  When we live by faith we have nothing to fear.  When we allow faith to be front and center we no longer will wonder when something is going to happen as we realize that it will happen when it needs to happen.  Trust me when I tell you that my faith is challenged each and every day.  I have to remind myself that I choose to have faith.  I get that the clock is ticking.  I have spent the better part of my life being controlled by those ticking seconds and minutes, and guess what?  All that time spent worried about doing this or that at some predetermined time in life has not altered the place that I am standing in right at this moment.  The sooner we let go of our control of time, the sooner we will give back control to that higher power that has always had our best interest at heart.  

I want to leave you with this thought: if time is an illusion, and we have allowed our lives to be controlled by this illusion, what would happen if we relinquished our need to control time?  Do you think that maybe, just maybe we would see things happen in what some would say miraculous ways?  Do you want to experience the miraculous or simply the ordinary?  The decision is yours to make, but you just might want to think about it.  I leave you love, light, peace, and joy.

What I did on my Summer Vacation.

My summer hiatus has now come to an end, and I get to do what I love most in life, and that is write, inspire, and hopefully change a few lives in the process. I will not bore you with all the details of what happened over the last three months of solitude.  Suffice it to say I have spent so many hours simply grounding myself, clearing away those things that no longer serve, and preparing myself for a new adventure, one that I have been waiting for a very long time to actually step out into it.

What I will do today is share with you a few of the lessons I learned, and it is my hope that you take away from these lessons much the same thing I did when I was learning them.  I fully understand that everyone is different, and with that they bring differences into any situation.  While I will not claim to have any great understanding of what others have gone through, or may be going through, I do believe that what I share with you today may very well provide that missing piece to the puzzle that you have been trying to complete.  With that note, let's get going, and let's see if we can't learn a few things that will change the world.

Lesson One:  Love yourself.  We have all been placed here to accomplish a certain thing.  All your dreams, your desires, your passions, have all been placed in you as a means to an end.  I see so many people who struggle with self love, as if it were something to run away from.  Self Love is the realization that you are an incredible creation, and you being here is in the perfection of the Universe.  An individual who does not understand self love is never going to be in a position to give or receive love.  A life that is void of love is not something I ever want to experience, and neither should you. If you do not find it in yourself to love who and what you are, then those dreams, desires, passions will simply fade away, and what was meant for you will fade away.  Self Love is a foundation for all that you are destined for, and it must be in place for all other things to fall into place as they were meant to do.

Lesson Two:  Coupled together with self love is the importance of knowing that you are so worthy of goodness in your life.  You are worthy of good things, and accepting anything less than that is simply one of the saddest things I can think of.  We have been conditioned throughout life to believe that we always have to strive for things that are just outside of our reach, a day late, a dollar short. We have been conditioned to believe that there will always be those who are on the outside looking in, forever wondering what it would be like to have it all.  I'm here to tell you that we are on the precipice of something truly amazing that will change the face of humanity forever. If you are unable to accept the truth of your worthiness, then you will miss out on one of the greatest blessings of your lifetime.  Trust me when I say this, what is about to be thrust upon humanity is not something you want to miss.

Lesson Three:  Your words are far more powerful than you could ever imagine.  People are constantly complaining about one thing or another.  People forget that what they speak, they are.  People who constantly bemoan all that is going on around them have never fully realized, or accepted, that they have the power to change it all.  "That's impossible" is what I hear so often, and it is this statement that does indeed make something impossible, when in truth, all things are possible.  I have said so many times in the past that we have not because we ask not, and we ask not because we simply do not believe.  When is the time going to come when we understand that we create our reality?  You don't have to believe that last statement, but just because you don't believe it doesn't make it any less real.  When your words reflect the dreams, desires, and passions you have within, then it will be impossible to stop things from coming into existence.  The time has come to create the reality in your heart, and bring it into the now.

Lesson Four:  Cutting the Cord.  We all have a tendency to hold on to things simply because they are what we have always known, without regard to whether they are good for us or not. We've all heard the saying that we need to cut the cords that bind us.  The question I have for most people is are they ready, willing, and able to cut the cords.  If ever there was a time to remove things in your life that no longer serve you, now is that time.  The problem most people experience while trying to rid themselves of things that no longer serve them, is that most of these things are things that they have always known, and quite frankly they feel they will be left empty without them.  The truth of the matter is that when we shed ourselves of these things that no longer serve us, we are actually making room for better things to occupy that space.  I fully understand how difficult it is to release certain things, but one must be fearless when the time comes to cut that cord.  

Lesson Five:  Be still and know that I am God.  A bold statement I know, but truer words have never been spoken.  Some do not believe in a Divine Creator.  I'm not here to push a religion, rather to expose you to truth.  If we would just get out of the way and allow divinity to expose itself to us and others the world would be a far better place.  Do you realize that our creator is in awe of our greatness? Do you realize that you have within yourself all the power imaginable?  Do you realize that you have been equipped to accomplish what you were sent here to do.  If we would just get out of the way of those things that have been shoved down our throat, and believe that we have a destiny, our life would be so much better.  When we realize that we are individually equipped with all manner of greatness, we then accept the concept of "Be still and know that I am God." We are awesome creations, with tremendous potential, and a huge calling on our life.  Do you really think that we are on this planet, in this life, just for the free popcorn?  We have a mission to complete, and once you realize this, and accept it, you will begin to move in ways you haven't even imagined.

I know I have gone on for a while, but I simply wanted to shed some light on what I have been going through over the past three months.  This time that I spent digging, praying, meditating, has prepared me to step forward and accept my next adventure.  It is my hope that as you think on these things you will also feel a pulling, a yearning, a desire to seek out just what your purpose is, and begin to take the first steps in accomplishing your purpose for this lifetime.  We have had many challenges as of late, but each challenge has positioned you to learn more, and in learning strengthen ever part of you.

We are about to enter some incredible times.  We are about to experience some incredible things. Some will scoff as what you are about to launch into, but that's OK.  When we fully accept our purpose, then it matters not what others may say or think.  I challenge each of you to begin seeing the real you.  I highly suggest that you set aside all doubt, all fear, all anxiety, and embrace what lies ahead.  The journey although not always pleasant is geared to get you to a place of total joy, happiness, and peace.  

I am do happy to be back, and I believe that these next months are going to provide each of us answers to some of the questions we have had, and desire to be answered.  I send each of you love, light, peace, happiness, and joy.
