Water flows rhythmically to and from source…Just as our breath flows in and out so effortlessly…a simple exchange of energy, a seemingly infinite process that knows no beginning or end…gentle reciprocity, unhurried and unattached to any outcome or destination… comfortable silences speak volumes… revealing a wealth of natural beauty and serenity borne out of patience and simplicity, and untouched by human greed or motive. Such is the infinite flow of chi connecting all humanity, the animal kingdom, nature and Universe and returning all life that is, was and will be, back to Source.

“Emancipate Yourself From Mental Slavery…only We Can Free Our Minds” ~ Bob Marley

We are all spiritual beings inhabiting human bodies, conditioned by our environment, culture, upbringing and experience. We are, indeed, born free, with a “clean slate”…but the minute we are of form in the world, we become a slave to our surroundings, enslaved by the “matrix” we are unwittingly immersed in from the moment of birth, the paradigms imprinted in our minds, conditioned by way of language, cultural mores, family values, blind patriotism, religious beliefs…our whole identity and moral code is shaped by our external environment, while our internal environment is equipped with all the answers we could ever want or need. To deprogram our paradigms, we must listen from within and allow our inner voice to guide us. We must cultivate mindfulness, an unbiased awareness that transcends not only the world around us, but also our absorbent sponge-like minds. Transcendental Awareness essentially removes the sponge, the perceptual filters that organize all the incoming stimuli into manageable compartments, freeing the mind from the constraints of self, leaving only an open receptacle, both full and empty at once, vibrating with cosmic energy. This energy within is in harmony with the Universe’s energy, also referred to as Source, Chi or God. When your energy is in alignment with the Universal Flow of Energy, all potentialities exist as viable possibilities, and all polarities merge into one unified point of singularity.

My “Happy Valentine’s Day” Message to my Family, Friends and Followers:

The Enduring and Unconditional Love that defines a true friendship is a precious and rare gift, a blessing beyond compare. Romantic feelings come and go, along with their associated attachments; they are an all-inclusive packaged deal accessorized with costly baggage and personal drama that accumulates exponentially with experience and time. LOVE – REAL LOVE – is pure, unconditonal, transformative, expansive, self-sustaining. A vibration of the highest frequency, LOVE connects us to one another, as well as to the Universal Source; LOVE raises our vibrational frequency to a level of pure consciousness, revealing our core essence and potential as divine beings, creating miracles, transforming possibilities into manifest realities, dissolving negativity and transcending limitation.
So on this day dedicated to the Art of Love, know that you are loved! I LOVE YOU!!!
Thank you for being in my life <3

We all experience “down time”, or moments of sadness in life. No-one can be happy 100% of the time. Even the Dalai Lama feels sad once in a while. Sadness itself does not cause suffering, nor does the experience of pain, be it physical or emotional, cause suffering. Rather it is our ATTACHMENT to temporary or transitory feeling states, experienced as positive or negative emotions, that causes suffering. Remember the only constant in life is change…nothing lasts forever. Pleasure and Pain come and go as brief bursts of energy, flashing pulsations of light vibrating across transitory moments, temporary feeling states that remind us we are human. Both experiences are necessary to the human condition, not so much polar opposites, as polar extremes, incremental variations in degree traveling along the same continuum. When there is less pain, there is more pleasure and vice versa. If you are feeling “down,” remember it is just a pitstop along the pleasure circuit, soon to be a memory, a reference point by which you may recognize tomorrow’s joy when it becomes the present moment. May your days of Love, Light and Laughter outnumber your days of pain, darkness and tears.
Rejoice in your Humanity! Rejoice in being Alive! If you are not feeling pain nor are you feeling pleasure…you are no longer among the living. In other words, keep it moving! The cycle of life is one of perpetual motion! Roll with it! Don’t get stuck on yesterday’s news, all that matters is NOW! BAM! And NOW! … and NOW … :-)

Some valuable advice for anyone having a tough time letting go and moving on from a past relationship: Greatness awaits you…set yourself free so you may recognize and receive the miracles and opportunities that present to you. Love yourself and keep “Doing You!” I can honestly say that after years of being stuck in a self-sustaining cyclical web of codependency, dysfunctional relationships and maladaptive behavior patterns, ” I’m Doing Me” these days – better late than never! And it is never too late to become what you might have been or do what you could have done. Each day is a fresh start, a new beginning, another chance to get it right! Embrace change – it is the only constant in life – so welcome change like it is your best friend! RBecause “this too shall pass,” as sure as the day passes into night. Life is a series of moments, each one ephemeral and unique, each one transitioning into the next, forming a seemingly effortless ebb and flow of constantly changing stimuli…so accept each moment as it is NOW, be present for it or you might miss it while you are busy thinking about what was or what will be. The past has come and gone, the future may never manifest… So Be Here NOW.. .it is all that matters anyway :)

Live each day like it’s your last…it just might be! Your lifetime of choices become your legacy, regardless of the amount of material or length of time you amass during your temporary human experience.

Be authentic in all your actions and interactions…Follow your heart but do so mindfully…Choose Compassion over Apathy…Be Kind to yourself and others…Love Unconditionally…Be Fully Present for all of Life’s experiences, accepting all without attaching meaning or preference to any one in particular – Life is a series of sequential moments, each one unique and fleeting; as one passes, another silently follows…
Above all else, Always DO YOU! Make Choices that enable your experience of Manifest Happiness and lessen your experience of Suffering. YOU are the only one who can choose and control your Thoughts, Attitudes, Feelings and Actions. YOU are the Reality Architect – YOU create your personal Reality!

If you choose wisely and live your life authentically…mindfully…humbly, then there will never be a reason for regret. Do not postpone matters of the heart -they are of the utmost importance…do not leave positive sentiment or loving words unsaid, as you may not get another chance to convey them…do not express negative, hurtful sentiment or criticism as you may never get a chance to apologize…Words wield power…they can never be retracted once uttered…they linger in the mind and heart like a moldy scent…their effects echo for eternity, a repetitive loop of cutting edge sound replayed in one’s memory like a broken record.

It’s ultimately your choice…why not start creating a legacy of Love today?

Blinded by a stream of light, I rubbed my eyes til my gaze softened and my vision returned…Thundering Silence echoed all around me, glazing over my senses like wax, mind-numbing but beckoning me closer, like the allure of the Sirens’ sweet song of seduction. A warm glow engulfed my being and enveloped my soul, cradling me gently like a newborn babe. “Am I awake or am I dreaming?” I heard my Self say. This must be Heaven, I responded. At that moment “I”, the Awakened One, separated from my sleep-walking “Self”, finally shedding the dream-induced “Ego” that had enslaved me for a thousand life-times in the Matrix of Virtual Reality. ~

To my brother Marc in Heaven:

Today, December 14, 2012 would be your 40th birthday. It has been 5 years since you left this Earth, but it seems like yesterday. I feel your presence often, and know you are watching over me always, my dear guardian angel. You are of the timeless and formless now, finally and completely free, free of pain, attachments, wordly thoughts, and all forms of suffering. I pray your transition was one of peaceful passing, as you transcended your human experience. You embody the spirit eternal now.

Today, here on earth, a tragedy took place, as I’m sure you already are aware. I know you will watch over these children whose lives were abruptly cut short today, and empower their heavenly spirit to ease the suffering of their grieving loved ones here on earth.

I miss you and love you, my dear brother…please continue to guide me in the right direction, to give me the strength and confidence I need to face my fears and conquer my demons as I navigate the bumpy roads on this journey called Life. I used to envision us sharing and supporting one another through life’s defining moments…I still interact with you nightly in my dreams, only to awake and accept the reality of your physical absence daily. May you R.I.P. Marc. May your spirit soar gloriously above the heavens, gracefully free like a butterfly chasing a rainbow.

And this too shall pass…
Life is constantly in flux, moving, changing…flow with it…surf the waves, let them shape you but not define you…swim with the ebb and flow of experiences…
The minute you dwell on any one experience, whether good or bad, you get stuck…attachment throws you out of sync with the transitional flow of life…life is a series of moments, do not cling to any one moment just as you do not hold on to any one breath, otherwise you will miss the next breath that comes around, or the next moment. You would literally die if you lingered on one particular breath, interrupting your life flow, your chi, your energy flow, thereby hindering the next breath necessary for life to continue. Be present NOW, focus on each breath or each moment as it occurs, then let it go immediately as you mindfully welcome the next one, fresh and new, as if it were your first, your last, your only…
