Good morning. Happy Sunday!
Ever have those moments when you realize who you are is so at odds with most of the culture you live in? Ever feel disconnected from the world around you?
I think we all have these moments. I think this disconnect allows us to find our own truth in our separation from everything happening around us. Sometimes we have to step back, step away from the mundane world and take a look at things. We can ask ourselves..."is this the reality I want to create?"
Our lives encompass every inner aspect of our own stuff. Take it or leave it. As soon as we recognize all that is going on outside of us that we do not like, we can look inside and see if we can find the corresponding thoughts and feelings that created our current reality.
It is not easy. Especially acknowledging that that thing we don't like in someone else...it's in us too. For example, while I may abhor guns and see no need for gun ownership, there is something inside of me that still speaks in the language of fear that only gun owners can hear. Otherwise, this would not be reflected in my own world.
I can push those people out of my life, so I don't have to look at them, or hear about their gun escapades, but it still exists within me. So, as I stand in my disconnection, I have to acknowledge that I too have a gun problem, and I need to figure out why.
Perhaps my fear is of those with guns, the government with big guns, and this continuing and pervasive need in the American culture to perpetuate control through violence. My fear is that, as a people, we will never find peace if we continue to focus on weapons as a means to solve our problems.
But how does that relate to me? How does that reflect my own issues? What are my weapons that I will not lay down? What am I fighting to control? What stands between me and peace?
These are questions that I have to meditate on. While I do not condone killing machinery, I have to examine myself to see how I hurt others in my need to have power and control. Maybe through words. Maybe my words keep me from achieving the peace I long for. Perhaps my words are as devastating to some as bombings are to others (probably not, but I'm trying to find the reflection here.).
What I am trying to explore here, is my discontent and disconnect with others and how that is really my issue and not theirs. We are All One. Sometimes I have a hard time seeing it or feeling it. It is something I work on. My disconnection only highlights something within that needs to be healed.
Once we discover whatever it is that is bothering us, we have an opportunity to grow within our own selves as we come to terms with our truth.
Does that mean that people who have different beliefs from me will disappear? Not really. Tolerance goes a long way to creating peace, but we do not have to be tolerant of that which might kill us, that is absurd. Everyone is throwing around this idea of tolerance, and respecting other people and their differences, but really? As long as they are not hurting me or infringing on my rights, they can do whatever they want...that's a common belief these days. But really?
So, contrary to popular thought, I'm going to disregard tolerance as an effective means to change the world.
I can't see how respecting a child molester's belief systems will benefit anyone, especially the children. I do not tolerate the bombing of innocent humans for any cause, even though others believe this practice is okay, and perhaps necessary in promoting peace. That is definitely at odds with my own truth.
I am allowed to discover my own path to inner peace, as is everyone else. As I examine myself, and heal those things inside that are creating the world around me, those things will not necessarily disappear, but they will fade away. Those issues will no longer be directly in front of me, because I create what I believe.
It is difficult at best to let go of that which does not serve the higher good. Our culture feeds on fear and domination, and to find people who do not buy into mainstream thought patterns is a rare thing indeed.
So, it's okay to feel disconnected. Perhaps it's even a good thing. It is your consciousness waking up and realizing that your spirit does not want to be involved with the status quo. Your spirit knows there are better ways. Listen to you higher self. Go within and heal that which hurts and you will find that the outside world begins to reshape itself around the love you find inside.
We may feel disconnected to the mundane world around us, but we are always connected to our higher selves, our spirit, the Universe, God, if we open ourselves to that connection. The disconnect from people around us allows us the quiet we need to meditate on the reality we want to create.
Everything will turn out fine. "Change your thoughts, change your life." -Wayne Dyer
After all, this journey is ultimately a spiritual one and the physical world is secondary--a construct of our own beliefs.
Love to all.

Disconnect and reconnect (1.19.14)
Good morning. Happy Sunday!
This week I'd like to talk about disconnecting from electricity, especially the television, but also other forms of technology that keep us stuck in the mainstream paradigm of thinking.
This mainstream status quo keeps society functioning in a frequency that benefits the corporatocracy, but has little positive effects in the lives of everyone else. As we continue to function under the old belief system that we need to contribute to society, mainly monetarily through the production and purchase of more material goods, but also by supporting the outdated systems that hold it all in place, we will see little change in ourselves and in our world. Perhaps this is fine for some. But others might like to see themselves in a better spiritual place or see the world as a kinder, and more loving place. We seem to be stuck in the same old patterns, merely doing the same old things and getting the same results for our actions.
So many of us go to work, and pay our bills (if we are lucky) and then come home to eat a Standard American Diet (which is killing us), turn on the big black box and tune out to the programming that is being fed to us. Same old, same old. Where is the life in that? I don't know about anyone else, but that scenario makes me feel trapped, like a rat in a cage, running back and forth, performing for some reward that is never enough.
So, how do we get unstuck? We disconnect. Turn off the television. Turn off the computer, at least the mind numbing, low frequency programs, like social media and/or video games. Do this for a day. Do this for a week and see how you feel. Do this for longer, and you might just get to know someone else inside of yourself--your spirit or higher self.
When you are tuned into the mainstream programs, you are being programmed to stay where you are and continue to do what you do to support the materialistic society that is killing us all and destroying our planet. The bottom line is the only thing that matters in this system. At any cost, profits will always come before people and planet.
I don't want to be part of that system. I see something better for our world and for every living thing on our planet. I see a loving world where people are kind and help and support one another; a world that is green and alive and a planet not being exploited and raped for the few remaining "resources" that give certain members of mankind an edge over others.
Change is coming, it really is, albeit very slowly. In order for any lasting changes to come about on a scale that we can see and on a level that makes a big difference, we have to disconnect and clear the mind fog that has been plaguing our lives for so long. Who are we? Really, who are we? What do we want for ourselves and our families? What do we want for our community and our global society? Who and what is humanity?
Turn off the TV, the internet, the smart phones, the video games and listen to the silence for a little while. Listen to your spirit. Let your mind and body return to a natural state of being that is far healthier than being plugged into a mind controlling grid that keeps you running after the dangling carrot. Tune into nature for a while and see how that feels. Even for a little while.
As you disconnect more and more, you will begin to want to spend more time in nature, surrounding yourself with living things and the beauty of life. You will begin to realize that you're a part of the natural system, even more so than the the made up fictional system of a materialistic world. You will feel your mind expand beyond the reality TV shows and into something so much bigger where you begin to see the bigger picture of all of life. You will begin to feel your connection to everything natural around you, and sense that you are a part of it, that essentially we are all One, connected, living being. There is no separatism, except when we allow ourselves to be sucked into the vortex of mainstream programming and continue on about our days, never questioning any of it.
Turn it off, for a few hours each day, for a few days each week, and for longer if you can, and reconnect with your higher self. Raise your frequency and you will begin to feel alive in ways you never thought possible. You will begin to be the natural being you are meant to be, and the world around you will respond, embracing you in the beauty of life, and raising your energetic vibration to one where the planet we live on becomes the Utopia we envision, and where peace and love and kindness are the norm, not the exception.
Disconnect from the programming and allow your spirit to shine forth. It will guide you and allow you access to a joyful new world.
Love to all.
Have a beautiful, quiet day.
